The Yongjun won two battles in Pingzi in one day, although the loss of more than 1,000 people, but the harvest was quite rich, after collecting the corpses of comrades, sorting out the captured baggage, under the leadership of Yongwang Guo Qi, more than 2,500 Yongjun troops in the three provinces pulled out the camp and went east.

At this time in Huating, Tang Bi is leading the Wufu soldiers to attack the Huating camp of the Xirong army, in fact, the two armies started the war as early as yesterday, but the battle is not fierce, because Tang Bi has limited troops in his hands, so the camp that has not been ambushed is more of a harassment attack, the purpose of which is to trap the Xirong army in the camp; However, because he did not know the reality of the Yong army outside the camp, he only ordered to stick to the camp and did not take the initiative to attack.

Huating camp, inside the big tent of the Chinese army.

He knocked on the bookcase in front of him and asked the adjutant general: "Have you ever explored the reality of the Yongjun outside the camp?" ”

"General, I haven't found out yet; The lowly post sent out several scouts, but no one has returned so far, and he must have been poisoned by the Yongjun. The lieutenant replied.

"Is there any news from Hu Erkuo?"

"So far, there has been no news."

"Newspaper, newspaper, newspaper...... General Yu, a large number of Yongjun troops were found in the south of the camp. "A thousand men will come in and report.

"Yongjun? How many people are there? ”

"There are thousands of flags, and I am afraid that there will be no less than tens of thousands of people."

"Tens of thousands? This can't be, where did the Yongjun get so many troops? So far, he was not shocked, and after speaking, he got up and walked out.

Standing on the watchtower in the camp and looking south, I saw a large number of black flags of the Yongjun army faintly visible in the distance, and my chin was about to fall off; He muttered in a low voice: "How is this possible, how can the Yongjun army have so many soldiers and horses?" ”

"General, the last general thinks it's not impossible." The adjutant general said.

"Tell me, what's going on? Where did the Yongjun get so many soldiers and horses? ”

"General, the Yongjun can't have so many soldiers and horses, but the general should not forget that the Yongjun is also the Qi army, and the Qi army is also the Yong army; Yongwang Guo Qi is the son of Emperor Guo Chun of Qi, and it is very likely that the reinforcements and horses are the Western Army under the command of Emperor Qi, but they are just replaced with the banner of the Yongjun. ”

"It makes sense, it makes sense." So far, he has not masturbated and said; "But now that there are only 7,000 soldiers in my battalion, how can I resist the attack of tens of thousands of Yong troops, how can this be good."

"General, it's better to send someone to rush out and go to Shanzhou to ask General Zuo for help." The adjutant general suggested.

——————

Huating South Wuli Yongjun camp.

"The general was really like a god, and he did not hesitate to send out orders and cavalry (note 1), but all of them were intercepted and killed by our army; This is a letter found on Ling Qi's body. Hou Ji took out a secret letter and sent it to Tang Bi and said.

After Tang Bi opened the secret letter and read it, he said with a smile: "It seems that he has been fooled, this is a letter for help." ”

"General, it's just that there is something unclear about the humble position?"

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

"General, the lord wants to capture Huating, but now that we have done it, I am afraid that I will never dare to leave the camp again, if our army storms Huating, wouldn't it be a greater loss." Hou Ji said very vaguely.

To put it bluntly, Hou Ji wanted to say, the boss asked us to take down Huating, and the best way is to lure the enemy out of the camp, but if you do it now, you won't be able to get out of the turtle shell where the people are located, isn't it okay to find trouble!

"According to the information we have, there are at least 7,000 troops in Huating now, and they occupy favorable terrain, and if they attack our army, they will definitely suffer heavy losses; Therefore, the battle of Huating can only be outwitted, not forced. ”

"I understand the humble position, General Xie will give you advice."

"What can the lord do?"

"It's almost ten minutes of sunset."

The time of the day passed quickly, and the Xirong army under his command was still cowering in the Huating camp, and when the sun was about to set, a huge convoy came from the west and slowly drove into the Yongjun camp.

Inside the big tent of the Chinese army.

Tang Bi returned to Guo Qi about the battle situation in Huating, and stood quietly aside waiting for Guo Qi's instructions.

Guo Qi knocked on the armrest of the handsome chair and pondered for a while and said, "Tang Bi, why did you transfer troops to the west without the permission of this king?" ”

Tang Bi and everyone present didn't expect that Guo Qi didn't mention the battle situation in Huating first, but asked about this first.

Tang Bi immediately knelt down on one knee and explained to Guo Qi: "I was really worried about the comfort of the lord, so I privately transferred troops to the west, please ask the lord to learn from it." ”

Zhuo Yidao also stood up and said: "My lord, General Tang fought for the opinion of despicability when he transferred troops, and the last general is willing to accept the guilt with General Tang. ”

"Well, since you both have confessed your sins, let's take the punishment together!" Guo Qi said.

"My lord, the two generals are indeed guilty, but it is also because they are comforted by the lord, please learn from the lord." Ma Cheng first stood up and interceded for the two.

"Please be clear." The others interceded together.

"Tang Bi, Zhuo Yidao, there is no king to order the transfer of troops privately, should be punished heavily, for the sake of the loyal monarch, they will be dealt with lightly, and after returning to Yongcheng, they will each go to the prison army to receive ten army sticks."

"No! Thank you for your forgiveness. The two spoke together.

"Thank you, this king's words are not finished yet!" Guo Qi said with a gloomy face: "Tang Bi and Zhuo Yidao have a keen insight into the enemy's situation, and help this king to annihilate the Xirong cavalry. ”

When the two heard this, they were overjoyed and said, "Thank you, lord." ”

What surprised the two was not the bounty of 100 gold coins, but the first-class promotion, and now the generals with the title of deputy general in Yongzhou are Hu Qiong, Tang Bi, Zhuo Yidao, and Sun Guoqing (later promoted), and the titles of the four are also the same first-class barons, and now the entire Yongjun, the highest title is a total of six people, in addition to the four deputy generals, there are also Song Yiming and Ling Jing.

But now that Tang Bi and Zhuo Yidao have been promoted, it is equivalent to climbing on the heads of the other five people at once, but they are the first people to obtain the third-class viscount, compared to these rewards, the ten army sticks are a fart!

"Alright, don't be complacent; What do you think of Huating? How to defeat the enemy? ”

"Lord, now the Huating defenders are afraid that they will not dare to come out easily." Tang Biyan said: "Before the humble post, it is better for us to pretend to withdraw from the army and lure them out of the camp. ”

"It's not as stupid as you think." Guo Qi said: "Write a battle letter like this, shoot it into the Huating camp of the Xirong army tomorrow, and then put all the heads of the Xirong soldiers captured the next day in front of the Huating camp into a Beijing view." ”

"Lord, isn't this agitation too light?" Tang Biyan said.

"Then what do you say?"

"I think it's better to give a set of women's clothes to the waiting."

"You can do it! As long as you can lure the man out of the camp, you can play as much as you want. ”

"No! The last general commanded. ”

After leaving the Chinese army's tent, Tang Bi did not return to his camp, but came to the watchtower in the north of the camp, looking at the brightly lit Huating camp in the north, Tang Bi vaguely had a more complete plan in his heart.
