In the early morning of the next day, Zhuo Yidao personally commanded the soldiers of Yifu, pulling dozens of carts to the open space one mile away from the Huating camp, where the heads of the people loaded on the cars were taken down one by one and piled into a pyramid-shaped Jingguan.

After the Jingguan pile was built, the two Yongjun armor soldiers walked towards the Huating camp of the Xirong army.

"Who's here?" The colonel guarding the camp gate asked.

"Envoy of the Yongjun, quickly open the camp gate, I want to see your general."

"Wait."

The colonel trotted all the way to the big tent of the Chinese army, and after entering the big tent, the colonel knelt down on one knee and said, "General, two people from outside the camp want to see the general." ”

"Who is it? You know? He asked.

"Both of them are wearing Yongjun battle robes, and they should be messengers sent by Yongjun." The Colonel replied, "And, and ......."

"And what, spit, say whatever you want."

"And the lowly also saw that they piled up something a mile away from our army's camp, but because the distance was too far, the lowly post really didn't see it clearly, but the round things were all unloaded from the cart."

"Round stuff." Ji Fu frowned, and suddenly Ji Fu Fu thought about something, "Bang! He slapped the book case angrily and said, "It's not good." ”

"General, what's wrong?" The adjutant general hurriedly asked.

He didn't answer the adjutant general's question, but hurriedly ran to the outside of the big tent, until he ran to the arrow tower on the side of the south gate, but when he vaguely saw a mile outside the camp, he was weak, and if he hadn't held on to the railing of the arrow tower, he would have fallen to the ground.

"General, what's wrong?" After the adjutant climbed up the arrow tower, he asked anxiously: "What's wrong, why can't you give up?" ”

"See for yourself!" So far, he has no strength to speak.

"General, this, this...... Could this be Kyokan? The lieutenant stammered; It's impossible, it's absolutely impossible, could it be that they killed their own people and cut off their heads to make Jingguan. ”

"Of course it can't be their own heads, it should be the heads of Hu Erkuo and his three thousand elite horsemen." So far, he said weakly.

"No way, this can't be." The adjutant general said in disbelief: "Hu Erkuo has a thousand sword knights and two thousand elite cavalry, how can such an elite division be defeated, even if it is defeated, someone should always come back!" But so far we have not received any defeat report. ”

"At ten o'clock in the sunset yesterday, Ben Jiang received a report that a convoy came from the west and entered the Yongjun camp directly, and Ben Jiang had a bad premonition at that time......

"What the general means is that the Yong army ambushed the baggage team and completely annihilated the 3,000 reinforcements of Hu Erkuo."

"It's hard to know if it's really now, let's go down and take a look." So far, I didn't pick up my spirits again.

After the arrival of the ambush, the south gate of the Huating camp opened again.

"It's the two of you who want to see the general." He didn't look at the two people outside the horse.

"Under the order of King Yong, I came to give a war letter to the general, and I also specially prepared a thin gift, please smile at the general." The envoy of the Yongjun said.

"Go get it."

The adjutant general took the box and the battle book forward, and brought it to the front of him.

"My king has stated in the war book that three days later, he will start a war with the general outside the Huating camp." The envoy continued: "In addition, the 3,000 elite cavalry sent by the general to meet your baggage team have been eaten by our army, and as long as they can win, the more than 3,000 heads placed in front of your army can be taken back. ”

"Humph!" Zhi Fu said coldly: "When the time comes, even your master's head will be taken back; Go back and tell your master, three days is too long, and the decisive battle will be fought tomorrow; Ben will be waiting for him outside the camp when the time comes. ”

"Farewell ......"

After the envoy left, the adjutant general hurriedly said to him: "General, isn't it a bit hasty to start the war tomorrow!" ”

"You don't have to say much, you will have your own ideas." "Open the box, I'll see what's in it." ”

After the box was opened, a bright women's dress appeared in front of her.

The adjutant general said angrily: "The Yongjun is too deceitful. ”

"Humph! Agitation will not work against this general. So far, he didn't slap the box and knocked it over to the ground.

————————

Inside the Yongjun camp.

Tang Bi reported to Guo Qiyu: "My lord, the people sent out have returned, saying that they will not ask for a decisive battle tomorrow. ”

"Tomorrow's decisive battle." Guo Qi frowned and said, "Why is this old boy so impatient. ”

"Lord, will there be fraud here?"

"Order, all departments should strengthen their vigilance tonight to prevent the Xirong army from attacking the camp."

"No! The last will be arranged immediately. ”

"Wait a minute." Guo Qi stopped Tang Bi, who was about to leave, and said, "Li Wu, go and find all the captains of each prefecture." ”

"No!"

After everyone arrived, Guo Qi sat on the handsome chair and looked at everyone and said: "Tomorrow we will have a real head-to-head duel with the Xirong army, this battle is related to the honor and even life and death of our Yongjun, we will step on their corpses to win the final victory;

Tomorrow's decisive battle Hussar Guards will all go into battle, the Heavy Armored Infantry Mansion will be lightly armed, and the Pro-Soldier Mansion and the Bow and Crossbow Soldiers' Mansion will be responsible for guarding the camp. ”

"Obey the Lord's command." The people commanded.

"It's all gone, go back and prepare!"

After everyone left, Li Wu said to Guo Qi: "Lord, let's fight with you tomorrow!" ”

Guo Qi glanced at Li Wu and said, "Didn't you hear this king's military order just now?" ”

"The lowly man heard, but the lord ......"

Guo Qi glared at Li Wu and said, "Don't you want to disobey your orders?" ”

"If you don't dare to do anything, please atone for your sins." Li Wu knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty.

"Get up! And he went with the king to inspect the camp. ”

Guo Qi inspected the camp for a while, and finally came to the Fifth Cavalry Mansion, which was also the only heavily armored cavalry mansion under Guo Qi's command. For these war horses, every cavalry cherishes them very much, because the life of the war horse on the battlefield is their own life.

"What are you feeding?"

"See the lord." When the soldier saw Guo Qi, he immediately saluted and said, "Lord, this is corn, wheat and beans, isn't there going to be a war tomorrow!" ”

"Is there salt in there?"

"My lord, this salt is not added to it, but it is smeared on the manger." As he spoke, the armorer carefully took out a salt bag from his bosom, which was filled with green and white salt ground into fine powder.

You must know that this green and white salt is not eaten by ordinary people, but only eaten by high-ranking officials and nobles; Now it is a year of famine, and the common people can't even afford to eat, let alone eat salt, even if they eat salt, they all eat coarse salt mixed with sand, soil, and weeds.

Guo Qi inspected the camp, and all the soldiers were stepping up their preparations for war, serving war horses, polishing weapons, wiping armor, etc., doing everything.
