Chapter 524: Leading the Nose

After a few words, Murong Ping came to his senses completely, and hurriedly asked: "Li Hong has 10,000 troops in his hands, why was the whole army wiped out in a short period of time?" Even if you can't beat the other party, you won't be like a cluster, right? "My lord, according to the soldiers who fled into the mountains and forests to catch up, the five thousand people left by the Tang army were not cut off at all, the purpose was to block our way, and then force us to divide our troops. In this way, after most of us had left, they sent another group of men down the river in boats and built a pontoon bridge over the river, so that the cavalry on the opposite side had already prepared to cross the river. General Li's side couldn't stop the attack from both sides of this thing, so it was a big defeat! The visitor hurriedly explained.

"The abominable Tang Army actually fell for their trick to lure the enemy!" By this time, Murong Ping had already understood that he had been tricked, and he couldn't help but punch a tree beside him, and said with hatred.

"King, what should we do next? Since the Tang army deliberately forced us to divide our troops, they would inevitably be prepared at the foot of the mountain. Even if we go out, I'm afraid we won't be sure of victory! The other generals gathered around at this time, and someone asked.

"At this point, it doesn't make much sense to go any further. Especially after our army descends the mountain, it is very likely that we will fall into the front and rear encirclement of the Tang army, and if Zheng is at that time, it may not be easy for us to defeat the other party. In this case, let's retreat along the mountains and forests, first at the intersection of Luoshui and Qiyishui, and then renegotiate countermeasures! Murong Ping touched his head and thought for a while, then decided.

If you do this, you will be able to avoid the ambush you may encounter on the lower avenue. The most important thing is that they will not encounter the problem of being caught between Li Xin's army and Zhang Hao's troops at that time, because if they successfully achieve this goal, they will avoid all the Tang troops.

"What the king said is true! If we can do this, the Tang army's ambush at the foot of the mountain will have to wait for an empty battle. As long as we stay at the intersection of the two waters, if Li Xin wants to move forward, he will have to fight with us face to face. With our 40,000 troops and horses, the odds are not! Murong Ping's decision was unanimously agreed by Zhongrao.

So, the army soon began to move back in the direction from which it came. However, this time the distance was farther, but fortunately there were no attacks or anything like that along the way, so the journey was smooth.

It took more than a while for the Yan army to emerge from the mountains. And seeing the confluence of the two rivers at the foot of the mountain, there was no Tang Jun at this time, Murong Ping finally showed a smile.

said to the generals beside him: "Du Li Xin's soldiers are like gods, I think it is clearly false." Since he had been prepared, he should have expected that we might withdraw here. If we ambush the next soldiers and horses here, won't we fall into the net? ”

Seeing that he seemed to be quite proud, the generals around him had different thoughts, but most of them said a few words of compliment. Anyway, it seems to be safe in front of you, which is already very good news.

Fortunately, Murong Ping did not completely relax his carelessness, and still sent many scouts to check the situation first. When they reported that there was indeed nothing abnormal on the front, they led the army down the mountain.

As for the problem of camp, it would be better to solve it, Murong Ping directly chose the place where Li Xin and the others camped before, and even saved the effort of leveling the ground.

The 40,000-strong army set up camp in this one place, and sent people to the surrounding area to inquire about the movements of the Tang army.

What Murong Ping didn't know was that his every move was actually completely under Li Xin's control, and when they went down the mountain to set up camp, the spies lurking in the mountains quickly reported the situation to Li Xin.

After Li Xin got the news, he immediately began to work on the next step.

In the barracks, Murong Ping, who had been in the mountains for so long, was already exhausted. It was not him, but the soldiers below, who were all crooked one by one at this time, and after setting up the camp, many people simply fell asleep.

I slept comfortably this night, because Tang Jun didn't come to attack at all, so comfortable that Murong Ping couldn't believe it. He was in good spirits, and was about to convene the generals to discuss and decide on the next step, when the spies sent out suddenly came over with a few Tang soldiers.

"King Qiyu, I caught the scout of the Tang army ten miles away, and handed it over to the general!"

"Oh? Good job! Hearing this, he looked at the Tang Army soldiers again, and Murong Ping nodded with satisfaction.

Immediately, he looked at the people and asked, "Let's go!" Where is Li Xin? Where is your army? How many centaurs are there, exactly? If you come out, this king will not only spare your lives, but will also reward you abundantly. ”

However, he was answered by the ignorant eyes of several people. The Tang soldiers didn't even look at him as if they hadn't heard him at all.

This made Murong Ping feel that he had been humiliated, the dignified Shangyong King was a man of his word in Yan Kingdom, and he was actually ignored by a few lowly soldiers, is this okay?

"Hmph, I don't know what is alive or dead! Since you don't, this king won't force you, come and drag them all down and cut them down! Then throw it into the mountains to feed the wolves! Murong Ping said angrily.

"Yes!" After hearing the order, the surrounding soldiers immediately rushed up to escort these Tang soldiers outside and behead them.

"Spare your life! The king spares his life! Those who are willing, those who know all! Sure enough, there are still people who are afraid of death, and when they heard Murong Ping say that he was going to cut off his head, two people were immediately frightened, and hurriedly shouted.

"Wasn't it quite tough just now? Hmph, sure enough, I don't shed tears when I don't see the coffin! Let's do it! Where is Li Xin? Seeing their appearance, Murong Ping couldn't help but say proudly. This trick can be described as tried and tested, and in his opinion, there is no one who is not afraid of death.

"Your Highness is not here, and the army has already left!" After hearing the question, the Tang soldiers said weakly.

"Huh? Not here? Where did they go? Murong Ping was stunned for a moment, and then asked.

"His Royal Highness personally led the army, and he has already gone to capture Dai County and Flying Fox! General Zhang Oy, they stayed here in order to drag you down, so that you could not return to Daixian and other places. Your Highness, this time you will be completely blocked from retreating, so that none of you can go back, especially you, the king! ”

"What? Bastard, you dare to play this trick with this king! Hateful! This king must catch him, and if he is not broken into thousands of pieces, he will not be able to solve the hatred in his heart! Hearing this truth, Murong Ping went crazy and was furious.

Whether it was before he led the army to hurry away, or later led the army to be stationed here, didn't he just want to find where Li Xin was and completely wipe them out.

However, he was led by the nose and wandered around this place a few times, losing more than 10,000 people in vain.

Just when I thought I had won a game, I realized that the original person had already started the next move, and it was already a change of target. It's like a punch on cotton, leaving him suffocated there.

"What should we do now, King? If it is really as these people say, we will have a worrying future! The generals next to him were also a little anxious at this time, and hurriedly asked.

"That's right! If the Flying Fox is taken by the Tang Army, although we will not be in a dead end, the threat to the counties east of Taihang will inevitably increase greatly. We can't ignore it! ”

"Please make a decision as soon as possible!"

.......

The generals said one after another, hoping to act quickly.

"What do you think?" Murong Ping glanced at everyone and asked. At this time, his own mind was a little confused, and he couldn't think of any good way at all.

"We still have a lot of soldiers and horses in Dai County and other places, even if the Tang Army wants to capture the counties, it should not be easy. In this case, we might as well take the opportunity to go west and take Mayi, Laoxian and other places first. If we can meet with the soldiers and horses of Yunzhong Gong, all the counties outside Yanmen Pass are under our control, and then we will find a decisive battle of the Tang Army and recapture Daixian and other places, it seems that we can also do it! After thinking about it, a general proposed.

Yes, this is a good proposition. After all, if Li Xin really went to Dai County at this time, Mayi and other counties might be empty of troops, and it would be a good time to recapture it!

"No! As you said just now, Daixian and other places are not easy to be captured by the Tang army, and the same is true for Mayi and other counties! What's more, you have forgotten that Yanmen Pass is the land of the Tang Army, and it is very easy for them to send reinforcements, unlike us who have to come from afar! Don't take down Mayi and other counties at that time, but instead trap ourselves in the encircled Zheng, plus even Dai County, Flying Fox and other places, then we will really fall into the Jedi! The other general retorted.

These two words have won the support of many generals. But because of this, I couldn't decide all of a sudden. In the end, everyone's eyes returned to Murong Ping, waiting for him to speak.

Seeing this, Murong commented that after thinking about it carefully, he finally decided to be safe and stabilize his back road first. In this case, even if the future battle is unfavorable, there is a way back.

Therefore, he said to everyone: "Send the order to go down, immediately pull out the camp, and immediately return to Daixian to fight a decisive battle with Li Xin!" ”

"Order!" When the generals saw that he had made a decision, they answered in unison.
