Cao Meng did not expect that his direct retreat to Cangshui would make the Qi army so crazy.

The Qi troops surrounding him for two to three hundred miles are all rushing towards the location where he appeared. It doesn't matter if you don't catch up, keep chasing!

Not only the Qi army, but also private soldiers from some aristocratic families joined in.

They were disgraced by the Qianjun before, but now it is the time when they have been beaten enough and have had their grudges and revenge, and they must be indispensable!

Cao Meng found that the resistance to marching westward was increasing, and it was becoming difficult to move forward.

Today, the Qinglong Army only moved less than thirty miles westward. A normal march would take them less than an hour, but today they spent all their time on detours.

Two more battles were fought, which were not large in scale but also exposed their position.

Now more Qi troops have surrounded him, and the intelligence brought back by the scouts has put more and more pressure on Cao Meng.

"These generals are really crazy!"

"You don't even want to stay here anymore, you must come to trouble me!"

"No, we can't just head west. We have to change directions."

Cao Meng's head was not made of iron, and he had to hit the south wall before turning back.

Realizing that it was not advisable to continue heading west, Cao Meng quickly changed his strategy and began to search for hidden and remote paths to march.

If there is a mountain, you must march along the foot of the mountain. If that doesn't work, you can still go into the mountain and wait for rescue.

The Qinglong Army began to intensify its efforts to collect food and grass. They would buy what they could, and if they couldn't buy it, they would buy it by force. If they couldn't buy it by force, they would have to rob it!

He can also act on behalf of heaven along the way.

But at this time, the Qinglong Army was not too far from Cangshui, but a little far from Xiaoqingshan.

Cao Meng stepped up his collection of food and grass in preparation for arriving at Cangshui.

In case you cannot return to Qian Kingdom immediately when you reach Cangshui, you must be prepared to stay at Cangshui for a period of time.

Cao Meng's situation seems dangerous, but his goal will be achieved sooner or later.

At most, the price paid is different.

If he wanted to return to Qian Kingdom as quickly as possible, Cao Meng could order the Qinglong Army to rush towards Cangshui and break through the Qi Army's siege along the way.

The casualties will definitely be huge, and they may be completely trapped in one place, but it is more likely that the Qinglong Army will successfully break through to Cangshui.

If he wanted to reduce casualties, Cao Meng could also order the Qinglong Army to take a detour and follow the mountains to the west. The road was a bit far, but it was safer.

Of course, too much time may have been wasted, and more Qi troops gathered to surround them in the mountains.

But overall it is safer to walk along the mountains.

...

Yang Yuan learned about the situation of the Qinglong Army from the report of the Military Intelligence Department, and he asked the Military Intelligence Department to send a new order to Cao Meng.

"There is no need to rush to break through to Cangshui. Keep your strength as close as possible while approaching Cangshui. Don't worry about being surrounded by the Qi army. The Yulin army and the Xiaoqi army can support you at any time!"

This order was quickly delivered to Cao Meng, and his hesitant heart immediately became firm.

"Alas! We still have to continue drilling into the ravine!"

Cao Meng didn't know why the king wanted him to stay in Qi for a longer period of time, but he resolutely obeyed the king's order.

The Qinglong Army changed its marching direction and accelerated its march to the southwest.

The reaction speed of the Qi army was still a little slow. When the Qinglong army broke through the blockade in the southwest, they discovered that the Qinglong army had turned to the southwest again.

"Chase! No matter where they run, we must not let them go!"

"Chase! Give me the full pursuit!"

"Throw away everything you can and chase the thief at full speed. Put away those bottles and cans first. As long as you can stop the thief, I will double the supplies for you!"

"Who was setting up defenses in the southwest? Why were thieves able to get through so easily? Are all his soldiers made of wood?"

Various Qi army generals had different reactions to the intelligence that the Qinglong Army was breaking out to the southwest, but generally they insisted on continuing to pursue the Qinglong Army.

No matter where the Qinglong Army goes, they will chase them!

...

In the hinterland of Cangde County, after Cao Meng led the main force of the Qinglong Army to withdraw from Cangde City, Zhao Bo began to retreat.

The rear camp led by Zhao Bo only had 3,000 men. If there were too many, it would be inconvenient to move. If there were too few, it would be easy for the Qi army to strangle them.

Zhao Bo is under great pressure and is in a very dangerous situation!

Cao Meng had already reached a place less than 200 miles away from Cangshui, and Zhao Bo's troops were still 600 miles away from Cangshui.

Without the Qi army to stop them, just a normal march would take six or seven days. Now they are surrounded by the Qi army, and the road of more than 600 miles is not easy to walk.

Especially after the Qi army discovered that they might not be able to stop Cao Meng, they would most likely spread all their anger on Zhao Bo's rear camp.

Without Yang Yuan's order, Cao Meng might not have broken through to Cangshui so quickly.

Ask him to voluntarily give up Zhao Bo and the three thousand Qinglong Army soldiers, but he can't do it!

By letting Zhao Bo take the rear camp to break off the rear, both Cao Meng and Zhao Bo were mentally prepared that the rear camp might be surrounded and annihilated by the Qi army.

However, Cao Meng still hopes that Zhao Bo can bring the rear camp to join him at Cangshui.

As long as there was still a glimmer of hope, he would give it a try.

As soon as Cao Meng received Yang Yuan's order, he immediately changed the direction of the breakout, hoping to attract more Qi army's attention and buy more space and time for the rear camp.

"There are only three thousand people. Qi Jun shouldn't take it too seriously!"

If the Qi army does not pay attention, the rear camp will have a great chance of escaping.

Zhao Bo is smart enough. The soldiers of the Qinglong Army have strong physical strength and endurance. The team of 3,000 people is not bloated and moves very flexibly. It is just an ordinary encirclement. The possibility of the rear camp successfully breaking through is very high!

But the premise of all this is that the Qi army does not pay attention to the rear camp.

So does Qi Jun pay attention to these mere 3,000 people?

Pay attention to!

Very concerned!

"Three thousand thieves can run rampant in the hinterland of Cangde County. Are you all stones? Watch as the thieves walk over you!"

"I'm so ashamed!"

"Ashamed! Ashamed! You will say you are ashamed. If you have time to talk, why not think about how to kill this gangster!"

"Yes, I will go back immediately and lead my troops to hunt down the thieves. I will never return until they are eliminated!"

"Me too!"

Kong Jingzhong gave the task of annihilating the Qinglong Army's rear camp to his favorite general Zhou Wei. Zhou Wei led his own troops and 20,000 to 30,000 Qi troops around to encircle and suppress the rear camp for two or three days. Then he discovered a serious problem. .

Together, they had more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, but they were unable to wipe out 3,000 thieves!

I can't afford to lose that person even if I say it!

Zhou Wei was completely angry!

He would rather postpone the encirclement and suppression of the rear camp, but also call the generals of several surrounding Qi armies together for a meeting.

They need to unify their thoughts to better destroy that slippery gang of thieves!

Zhou Wei believes that this meeting is very necessary and very successful.

At least it inspired a few generals to have a sense of shame. Only when a person has a sense of honor and disgrace can he have combat effectiveness and unleash his potential.

After this meeting, the rear camp, which had just had a chance to breathe, once again faced the threat of the Qi army.

And the pressure is even greater this time.

Zhou Wei's words made all Qi generals understand one thing. As long as the rear camp exists for one day, the shame on them will remain for one day.

If they are run away by the rear camp, this shame will stick to them for life, and all their colleagues will laugh at them when they see them in the future.

Thirty thousand people surrounded three thousand people, and they were still on their own territory. In the end, they let the enemy escape. This battle was too public!

In order not to be ridiculed by their colleagues in the future, several generals put tremendous pressure on their soldiers after returning to their headquarters.

Either the thief dies, or we die!

Take your pick.
