Chen Cangguan, the town guard's house.

Since the Xirong army approached Wangyang Pass, Sun Guoqing, who was responsible for guarding Yongnan, transferred three of the four prefectures under his command to Chencang Pass.

"General, I just received a report from the sentry cavalry that a large number of Xirong troops are advancing eastward along Weishui in Beitan, and it is expected to be here for us in two days." Wu Dayong reported to Sun Guoqing.

"How many men are there in the Xijon army?"

"The Xirong army stretched for more than ten miles, and judging from the banner, there were almost 50,000 people (in fact, there were only 30,000)."

"Fifty thousand." Sun Guoqing sneered: "This Murong Chui really gives Lao Tzu face. ”

"General, the Xijon army is numerous and strong; Do you think we should ask the Lord for help first? ”

"You kid is afraid, this battle hasn't been fought yet! I thought about asking for reinforcements. ”

"It's not that I'm afraid of humility, it's really a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and us! Now in this Chencang Pass, our army only has 3,600 soldiers from Sanfu, plus 20,000 Tuntian soldiers; It's less than half of them, and as you know, we soldiers have never seen blood, and it's no different from a recruit's egg. ”

"These generals also know that if we sit here and wait for others to fight, we will be too passive." Sun Guoqing thought for a while and said: "Dayong, you sent people to keep an eye on the Xirong army, and their every move will be mastered; In addition, he sent people to transfer all the government soldiers stationed in Yu County. ”

"No! Commanded by humility. ”

After Wu Dayong left, Sun Guoqing walked to the map hanging on the wall, this map was drawn by Sun Guoqing with great effort and a lot of manpower and material resources, although the accuracy is not particularly high, but the terrain of more than 100 miles west of Chencang Pass is clearly marked; Looking at the Wei River, which bends through the mountains, a plan quietly forms in Sun Guoqing's mind.

"What? General, do you want the lord to attack? Wu Dayong was shocked after listening to Sun Guoqing's plan.

"yes? Why not? ”

"But wouldn't it be too risky, General?"

"It's a bit risky, but if we succeed, we're going to reap great results."

"Obey the general's orders."

"Okay, then I'll tell you the detailed plan; According to the information we have now, the Xirong army is advancing along Weishui, and I plan to put the battlefield in this position......" Sun Guoqing said as he gestured on the map, and Wu Dayong was dumbfounded.

On the same day, Sun Guoqing issued a military order, and the 23,600 Yongjun soldiers stationed in Chencang Pass left Chencang Pass with a large number of grain, grass and ordnance, leaving only 500 old and weak garrisons in the entire Chencang Pass, which can be said to be pouring out.

After a day's rapid march, Sun Guoqing finally led the army to the predetermined battlefield threshold stone, where the Weishui River flowed through to form an inverted 'S' shape, and the high mountains on both sides of the Weishui River were a natural and excellent ambush point.

"Decree all ministries not to bury pots to make rice, and all to eat cold food." Sun Guoqing, who was standing on the top of the mountain and looking down on the entire battlefield, ordered.

"No! Humble and then go to herald. A lieutenant replied.

"General, the spies report; The Xijon army is only twenty miles away from us. Wu Dayong came to Sun Guoqing's side and reported: "It's getting late, I'm afraid that the Xirong army will camp on the spot and no longer advance." ”

"Then you can't be careless, let the brothers hide in the mountains on both sides of the strait, and listen to the military orders at any time."

"No! Commanded by humility. ”

——————

On the other side, the marching Xirong army stopped at Chaijiapo, which was ten miles away from the threshold stone, and the soldiers of the Xirong army began to cut down trees and bury pots to make food in the surrounding mountains and forests.

"Young marshal, if it's getting late today, it's better to let the army rest here for the night." Geer Qi suggested.

"No, our army must arrive outside Chencang Pass before sunset tomorrow." Murong Ke decisively refused.

"But the young marshal, after days of marching, our soldiers are already exhausted, even if our army can kill under Chencang Pass tomorrow, our army will not be able to break through the gate in one fell swoop!"

"Humph! Am I a young marshal, or are you a young marshal, is it you who has the final say in this Southern Route Army, or do I have the final say? Murong Ke said angrily.

For Ge Qi, in fact, Murong Ke didn't pay attention to it at all, in Murong Ke's opinion, Ge Qi is just a house slave of his own family, and he can have these things now, all of which are given by his father's pity for him, as for his so-called military exploits, it is even more of a joke, it is just his luck.

In the face of Murong Ke's insult, Ge Qi clenched his fists tightly and suppressed his anger in his heart; He said as calmly as possible: "Since the young marshal has an order, the last general will obey the order; The last general still has some things to deal with, so he will take his leave. ”

After Ge Qi finished speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for any response from Murong Ke.

"General, this young marshal is too much, he doesn't take you seriously at all!" After leaving, one of Geerqi's cronies said.

"Don't talk about useless nonsense, how to say that he is also the son of a handsome man; Since the marshal trusts me and puts the young marshal in my hands, then I have to ensure that the young marshal can't have an accident; It's a bit of humiliation. Geer Qi said very generously.

Ge Qi is not Murong Ke, he knows very well how much the discord between the generals and commanders before the war will have a great impact on the army, so Ge Qi tried his best to restrain himself and cooperate with Murong Ke.

The Xirong South Route Army was in Chaijiapo, and continued to set off after resting for only one hour; By this time, the sun had begun to set, and the weather was starting to get colder; The elite of the 30,000 Xirong army, under the leadership of Murong Ke, continued to march eastward on the frozen Wei River.

Because the weather is too cold, the ice in Weishui is very thick, and the march on the ice does not have to worry about falling into the ice hole; However, although it will not fall into the ice hole, the ice surface can be described as very slippery, and it is very difficult to walk, and some soldiers of the Xirong Army have already fallen and their noses are blue and their faces are swollen.

"Tanaina's, it's too cold this day." Murong Ke got down from the warhorse, sighed, rubbed his hands, and said to the guards beside him: "Go, drive Lao Tzu's carriage over." ”

After a while, the guards drove a luxurious carriage over, and the luxury of the carriage was not only reflected on the outside, but more importantly on the inside; With the help of his personal guards, Murong Ke took off his iron armor and got into the carriage, which not only had soft leather, but also a small copper furnace, which made the entire carriage very warm.

In addition to these, there are some fruits and food in the carriage, and more importantly, there is also a woman, a very beautiful and charming woman, of course, the whole woman is hidden in the army by Murong Ke behind Murong Ke's back, if Murong Ke knows, this woman's fate is only a dead end, and Murong Ke's small life will not be too easy.

"Little beauty, I want to die of Lao Tzu, come and let Lao Tzu hug and kiss me." Murong Ke touched the inside of the woman's clothes with a lewd smile on his face, and the woman's body trembled with his cold hands, but the woman did not dare to have any dissatisfaction.

After a while, a woman's ** voice came from inside the carriage (2,000 words omitted here......

"I really don't know if I'm here to fight a war or to enjoy the mountains and rivers...... "One of the captains muttered quietly as he passed by the carriage.
