In the face of the war, his own people are still intriguing. If Deng Qiang and the others knew, they would have to laugh off their big teeth, so that the opponent couldn't beat it, it was really a bit unspeakable. "But big brother, I heard that a few days ago, the 20,000 horses of Zhuge Xiang in Bingzhou were defeated by the Huashan army, and now Li Xin has led the army north to Taiyuan and other places! The other party has solved Zhang Ping's people, I'm afraid they will immediately turn around and reinforce Luguan, right? However, one person said worriedly.

"Don't worry, we all know how many soldiers and horses there are in the Huashan Army! Li Xin wants to take the counties of Bingzhou, do you think Yan will let him get his wish? Once Li Xin starts a war with Yan in Bingzhou, where will he have the spare strength to deal with us? Besides, even if the other party sends some soldiers and horses, don't forget, we are cavalry, when have we ever been afraid of those Jin people who don't even have horses? Regarding this worry, Liu Weichen shook his head and said.

"That might be true! Back then, Qin Shi Huang sent Meng Tian, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to fight us, but the ancestors were defeated! Speaking of this, I don't know which one of them muttered a sentence that didn't have long eyes, which suddenly made the atmosphere in the whole tent awkward.

"General, general, we found a pillar of smoke rising into the air in the north, and it seems that there is a fire dozens of miles away!" Just when everyone didn't know what to say, a small soldier suddenly ran in from outside the tent and reported loudly.

"Oh? Everyone went out to see, what the hell was going on? Hearing this, Liu Xibei couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and hurriedly got up and walked outside.

Liu Weichen and the others walked out of the tent behind him, only to see that there were already a lot of people watching outside. It's afternoon, when the sun is in the west, so you don't feel glaring when you look in that direction.

Sure enough, I saw that in the northeast direction, there were several pillars of smoke soaring, like black dragons, which looked quite weird.

"What's going on? Looking at this direction, it seems to be in the direction we are coming from! ”

"That's right! It can't be that there's something wrong over there, right? ”

"It's really possible, looking like this, it can't be a fire, right? This season is the time when autumn is dry! ”

"If there is really a fire, there is nothing, I'm afraid that the Huashan army is coming from there, in that case, won't we be blocked here and unable to retreat?"

"You're not kidding, are you? Even if the Huashan Army came over from there, there wouldn't be such a big pillar of smoke? ”

"That's right!"

.......

Whether it was an ordinary soldier or a tribal handsome, they all looked at the pillars of smoke in the distance and whispered at this time. Many people looked a little worried, after all, although that direction is not the Hetao area, and it is far away from the Yellow River, it is the road they came from after all!

Liu Xibeqi and the others looked in that direction, and they couldn't figure out what the situation was for a while.

"What do you think?" After looking at it for a while, Liu Xibeqi turned around and returned to the tent to discuss the matter with everyone.

"I think it could be a wildfire! After all, this kind of thing is not uncommon! One of them said.

"If it's a wildfire, it's not a big problem. As long as it doesn't burn to our side, otherwise, we won't be able to escape, and looking at the appearance of that place, it doesn't seem to be particularly far from us! "Some people are worried about their safety.

At this time, near Luguan, it is not as barren as it was later, and it is not a piece of loess bare ~ exposed, and the surrounding forests are still very lush. If it had burned all the way from the north, of course they would have been worried that it would burn themselves.

"Look like that, it's not wildfire! After all, we've all seen wildfires, and they would never be divided into strands like this. I don't think the Huashan Army really came from the north and is doing something there, right? Someone said again.

"If it's really the Huashan Army, why don't they kill it directly? Do you want to do these weird things instead? Of course, some people immediately asked rhetorically.

"You ask me, I ask who goes? The Jin people have always been cunning, and they must be thinking of some intrigues! When the previous person heard this, he immediately said angrily.

In the whole tent, everyone was in a mess, and everyone felt that they were justified, and they accused others of saying wrong. Seeing this situation, Liu Xibeqi couldn't help but have a headache.

"Alright, calm me down! Whether it's wildfires or the tricks of the Huashan Army! In short, this matter has already disturbed the morale of the military, and we have to deal with it! Send a team of people to hurry over and take a look, and if you find something, come back and report it immediately! Glancing at them, Liu Xibeqi stood up and said in a deep voice.

When he said this, the people stopped arguing. Soon, a team of scouts was sent in that direction, and everyone continued to tackle the problem while waiting for news.

On the head of Luguan City, Shao Zisong also saw those pillars of smoke! At this time, it had only been less than an hour since he received the news sent by Deng Qiang. In order to deliver this news, the messenger was embarrassed.

"It's started, General Deng is already doing it! Tell my brothers below, get ready for me, and go out of the city with me as soon as the time comes! Looking at the pillar of smoke, Shao Zisong ordered the person beside him.

"General, I don't think those Huns will withdraw their troops easily. Even if the army is withdrawn to the north, there should be a part of the soldiers and horses left behind! If we go out of the city, we'll meet these people right away! Liang Cheng stood next to him and reminded at this time.

Since he was sent to Luguan to assist in guarding the pass, he has been relatively calm, and now that he is about to take the initiative, he will inevitably feel a little excited in his heart. After all, who wants to be pressed and beaten all the time!

"That's natural! This time, General Deng's plan was originally to divide the enemy into two parts, the part that returned north fell into the trap of General Deng, and the remaining part was handed over to us to solve. If these two parts of the soldiers and horses are allowed to meet, then the encirclement of General Deng will be broken! Shao Zisong nodded and said.

"The Huns are all cavalry, let's go out of the city to fight with them, I'm afraid it's unfavorable!" Liang Cheng thought for a while, and then said.

"There's no way to do it, war! It is impossible to have no casualties at all! General Deng wanted a war horse, so he fought very carefully. And they occupy a good position, and they should be able to do it. But we can't do it, I've gathered all the bows and arrows, and when we get out of the city, we just send out all the arrows without waiting for the enemy to get closer. In this way, there will not be much left of the enemy army after the break. After all, they shouldn't leave too many people behind! In this regard, Shao Zisong has obviously considered it for a long time!

"Okay, I'll go down and get ready!" Liang Cheng also felt that this was a good idea, so he did not raise any objections.

None of the first spies sent by Liu Xibeqi came back, and after waiting for more than half an hour, everyone felt that something was wrong.

"Send another group of people to take a look!" For the sake of prudence, Liu Xi Beqi sent a team of ten people to inspect again.

At this time, everyone was already a little uneasy in their hearts. With so much speculation before, some people have already begun to believe the news that the Huashan Army is detouring south.

After waiting for another half an hour or so, the spies finally returned! However, there were ten people when I went, but only one person came back at this time. Moreover, this person also has a feather arrow stuck in his back.

"Huashan Army..... Huashan Army is really here..... They're ... North... Build a camp and seem to want to ..... there Set up camp and trap us here.... Everyone else is dead..... I'm the only one left.... Belch! The last scout also died when he finished speaking.

When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but look at each other, and no one spoke for a while.

"What am I talking about? It's the conspiracy of the Huashan Army, right? They sent troops to the south from the north, knowing that they couldn't defeat us in a direct battle, so they wanted to trap us in this place where birds don't pull ~, and trap us to death! The person who had previously put forward the idea that the Huashan Army was going south couldn't help but be proud at this time.

"The Huashan army must be cutting down trees and leveling the ground in the north and building obstacles to hold on! Although our cavalry is powerful, we can't meet the city wall! Once the Huashan Army really builds a strong wall, they won't need many soldiers and horses to trap us all. When the time comes, we can't pass the Luguan in the south, and the road in the north can't go, once the grain and grass run out, maybe we can only kill the horses! Someone shuddered at the thought of the serious consequences of this.

"It's not just the matter of grain and grass, the grain and grass we bring is enough for us to eat for a long time. The problem is that it's late autumn now, and after a while, the weather will turn cold! Under our lack of clothes to protect us from the cold, the Huashan army will not use it to attack, but I am afraid that everyone will freeze to death! Big brother, you have to make up your mind about this! Someone looked at Liu Xibeqi and said.

"Third brother, what do you think about this?" Liu Xibeqi pondered for a while, looked at Liu Weichen, and asked.

"The only way to do this is to take advantage of the fact that the Huashan Army is not ready, let's take preemptive action and deal with them. Otherwise, once the road is blocked, we really have no way to advance or retreat! After thinking about it for a while, Liu Weichen suggested.

"Okay, since everyone has this intention, let's decide so! Third brother, you lead a thousand men and horses to break off, in case the Huashan army in Luguan chases out! The rest of the people, follow me to the Huashan Army camp in the north! Hearing that everyone meant this, Liu Xi said without praying.

With his words, the people around him immediately took action. Thinking that they would soon be able to kill in the Huashan Army camp and sweep away the depression they had been in these days, many people couldn't help but scream excitedly.
