Not only did Lou Man not understand the purpose of Zhao Yi's move, but even Wen Qin, Dian Wei and others didn't understand that at this time, the Qiangqu Department was in a mess, and his army rushed to kill, even if he could not annihilate the Qiangqu Department, it would definitely cause heavy casualties in the Qiangqu Department.

Today's battle is successful, tomorrow we will unite with Tai Shici's army to attack the Qiangqu department, and we will be able to succeed in the first battle, killing the 50,000 soldiers of the Qiangqu, and the Southern Xiongnu will no longer have the power to plunder the prefectures and counties.

The insults of the Xiongnu in the west shook the earth, Zhao Yi looked at the Hun soldiers who were frantically fighting the fire, turned his head to Wen Qin and the others with doubts on their faces and said: "If we attack rashly, we will definitely be used as the object of venting our anger by the angry Wuhuan soldiers." At that time, even if our department can kill some of the Hun soldiers, I am afraid that it will also suffer heavy casualties in the end, so I Zhao Yi will not do this practice of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 self-inflicted losses. ”

If they rush to kill, the Hun soldiers will not be able to react, and thousands of people may die under the swords of the Wuhuan cavalry. But once the Hun soldiers reacted, the 50,000 army attacked back and forth, and Zhao Yi and others wanted to escape from the encirclement of the Huns, which was even more difficult than ascending to the sky.

Nanlou handed over the command to Zhao Yi's hands, and even if Lou Man was no longer convinced, he didn't dare to openly violate Zhao Yi's orders, so he had to bow down and lead the soldiers to follow behind Zhao Yi.

In the county town of Huai'an, Tai Shici heard the soldiers observing the city gate report that there was a strange turmoil in the Xiongnu department. When Tai Shi Ci and Murong Fu rushed to the city gate from the palace, they saw the monstrous fire in the west, hurriedly climbed the city wall, and looked far away, through the raging fire, Tai Shi Ci and the two could vaguely see the Hun soldiers walking back and forth like ants.

"General Murong, the place where the fire broke out is very consistent with the place where our army explored the Xiongnu hoarding grain and grass." Tai Shici's eyes flashed when he saw the firelight, and he said in disbelief: "Has anyone destroyed the Xiongnu's grain and grass camp?" ”

Murong Fu's eyes flashed when he heard this, this speculation was pinched to death by Murong Fu as soon as it arose, and when Murong Fu led his troops to Huai'an County the day before yesterday, he also wanted to cut off the Xiongnu grain route so that it would not be attacked. He once personally inspected the grain and grass camp of the Qiangqu Department, which can be described as heavily guarded, and it can be broken without waiting for leisure.

"No, if you want to destroy the grain and grass camp, even if there is a large group of soldiers rushing to kill, you will not want to break through the cottage defense for a while, and the grain and grass camp is less than five miles away from the Hun army, if something happens to the grain and grass camp, the Qiangqu Department will definitely rush to help. If this is the case, the grain and grass camp should be full of murder, how can it be so peaceful? "Murong Fu said a crucial question." We must not act rashly, lest we fall into the trap of the Qiang Canal. ”

Tai Shi Ci nodded, very much agreeing with Murong Fu's point of view. Wen Chou's army just arrived in Huai'an County this afternoon, and the fly in the ointment was that Zhao Yi did not come, but with tens of thousands of troops in the state capital, Tai Shi Ci was more confident in the face of the Xiongnu's siege. As long as they can't hold on, it will not be easy for the Huns to come in. The only thing that made Tai Shici feel guilty was that the people around Huai'an County were killed by the Huns.

Although Tai Shici had the heart to fight to the death with the Xiongnu, he did not dare to attack rashly, if there was a problem in Huai'an County, more people would suffer.

Tai Shi Ci also once led the soldiers out of the city to meet the battle, and the three generals of the other side all fell under Tai Shi Ci's arrows, but when he led his troops to rush and kill, the Huns showed strong combat effectiveness, and although the officers and soldiers were stubborn in response to the battle, they still suffered heavy casualties.

Seeing that the fire burned for half an hour, Tai Shici did not move, and said to the soldiers around him: "If the Huns have any abnormal movements, tell me quickly." ”

Just when Tai Shici turned around and was about to leave, he glanced at the fire in the distance again, and had some doubts in his heart, if the Huns were acting, it would be too long. The eyes were pierced by several faint lights, and when I subconsciously glanced at it, I saw that it was only two miles away from the city gate, and there were a few fires, and this firelight was still spreading rapidly.

And the opponent is moving extremely fast, cavalry! This is cavalry! Tai Shi Ci was startled for a moment, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers at the city gate to prepare for battle.

Could it be that the Xiongnu Department made such a big move just to attract the attention of our troops and secretly sent soldiers to attack the city? But there is also a strange thing about this, if you plan to sneak attack, you will never be able to expose your position two miles from the city gate. Although the time was short, it gave the soldiers of the city gate time to prepare and adapt.

"Looking at the length of the march of the cavalry, the number of soldiers in the unit should be more than fifteen thousand." Murong Fu observed it and said.

The expected siege did not appear, the cavalry of the brigade stopped at three hundred steps from the city gate, the two walked out of the camp, and came to a place less than ten zhang away from the city gate. ”

These familiar words made Tai Shi Ci and Murong Fu tremble, and they looked at the city gate with wide eyes in disbelief. The faint light of the torch reflected Zhao Yi's face, which made Tai Shici and Murong Fu's eyes light up and exclaimed, "Lord Zhao! ”

Seeing that it was Zhao Yi, the previous gloomy mood of the two was swept away, and they went out of the city gate to greet Zhao Yi in person with a happy face. Tai Shici and Zhao Yi hadn't seen each other for many days, and they were quite excited to see Zhao Yi at this moment: "Why did the adults come here suddenly?" When Murong Fu came to Huai'an County that day, he told Zhao Yi's whereabouts. Let Tai Shici sigh slightly.

Originally, I guessed that Zhao Yi, who got the news, would come here two days later, but he didn't expect Zhao Yi to arrive so quickly and in such an unexpected way.

Zhao Yi laughed twice, saying that after learning about the affairs of Daijun, he traveled day and night, leading 20,000 Wuhuan troops to come to support.

Dealing with things alone in the past two months has made Tai Shici grow a lot. faded away from the original immaturity, and his gaze became calm and resolute. Zhao Yi nodded secretly, and said in his heart that the more dangerous it is, the more it can hone a person.

Welcoming Zhao Yi and his Wuhuan soldiers into the city, and seeing the empty mansion at a glance, Zhao Yi raised his eyebrows: "Where is Yang Xiu, the county guard?" "Even if Yang Xiu is not the material for the county guard, at this time of crisis, he is not in the government, how can he stabilize the morale of the army.

Speaking of Yang Xiu, Tai Shi Ci had an irrepressible anger on his face, and he was very dissatisfied with the style of the county guard Yang Xiu, and when he heard Zhao Yi's question, Tai Shi Ci bowed down and said: "My lord, when Yang Xiu invaded the territory of the Xiongnu, he only came to Huai'an County for one day, and the next day he packed up his things and returned to the county seat of Daijun. Calling himself the name of his boss, it can be seen that Tai Shici's dislike for Yang Xiu has reached a level.

What is this, this is an escape from the battle, if you act in accordance with the military order, Yang Xiu should be beheaded! Zhao Yi walked back and forth in the hall with anger on his face. If it weren't for the fact that the Ten Standing Servants were still in power now, officials like Yang Xiu, Zhao Yi, would have been sentenced a long time ago.

However, now the affairs of the Xiongnu are the top priority, and Zhao Yi can only put Yang Xiu aside for the time being and concentrate on dealing with the Xiongnu.

Tai Shi Ci saw that Zhao Yi's face was getting more and more ugly, and he was afraid that Zhao Yi would do something drastic, so he hurriedly changed the topic and asked why Zhao Yi appeared at the city gate in the west.

Zhao Yi suppressed the anger in his heart, heard Tai Shici's question, and said casually: "This official has just led his troops to destroy the Xiongnu's grain and grass camp. ”

Zhao Yi's casual words surprised Tai Shici and Murong Fu, could it be that what happened just now turned out to be true? There is no joke in the army, Tai Shici and Murong Fu know that Zhao Yi is not a targeted person. They were strange that there was no large-scale battle, how Zhao Yi destroyed the grain and grass camp.

Dian Wei, who entered the Hun camp with Zhao Yi, carefully said the scene just now, Tai Shici and Murong Fu have been admiring after listening to it, the wisdom of the adults is unparalleled, and the world is unparalleled!

Such a subtle method may not be able to be imagined even by a first-class strategist. Zhao Yi actually thought of a way in a very short time, and his reaction and resourcefulness were first-class.

"With adults here, there is no need to worry about the Qiangqu Department at all." Tai Shi Ci said excitedly.

Zhao Yi was not careless at all, this success was just because of Zhao Yi's clever plan, and it was said that the trick was ugly. This kind of heart-eye movement once or twice may have unexpected effects. It's not advisable to try to win by cunning all the time. A strong army, coupled with proper command, makes such an army invincible.

Zhuge Liang is considered to be the top strategist in the three countries, and he showed his skills in his fledgling ways, burning Bowang and Xinye, causing Cao Cao to suffer heavy casualties. But when Cao Cao personally led an army of 830,000 to attack and kill, why didn't Zhuge Liang use tricks to defeat Cao Cao, causing Liu Bei to almost break up his wife.

There is a good saying, in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trickery will pale in comparison.

Zhao Yi was not overjoyed by Tai Shici's words, on the contrary, Zhao Yi was still very worried. He handled things too well, which made Tai Shici and others dependent on themselves, and this dependence was unacceptable. Zhao Yi asked Tai Shici: "General, this official asked you how many Zhao Yi are in Youzhou?" ”

"Just one." Tai Shi Ci scratched his head, and his question about Zhao Yi was very strange, not to mention Youzhou, even in the whole world, there is only one Zhao Yi.

Murong Fu's comprehension ability was a little higher than Tai Shi Ci's, and when he heard Zhao Yi's words, his eyes flashed, and he understood what Zhao Yi meant after a little thought.

"General, what the adults mean is that there is only one Zhao Yi in Youzhou, and at this time, only the Xiongnu offenders can naturally deal with it, and if there are many offenses, the adults will be weak. At that time, we will have to rely on ourselves against a strong enemy. Murong Fu explained to Tai Shici the meaning of Zhao Yi's words.

Tai Shi Ci woke up like a dream and bowed down to be taught, Zhao Yi did not blame Tai Shi Ci, but asked him to rest his troops to deal with tomorrow's battle.

In the early morning of the second day, the grain and grass camp was burned to black ashes, and there were still some places smoking, and Qiangqu's face was gloomy and uncertain when he looked at the situation in front of him.

The disgraced adjutant general came to Qiangqu to report the situation: "My lord, although our soldiers tried their best to rescue them, less than one-tenth of the grain and grass they rescued were saved. ”

Qiang Qu's arm holding the reins shook a little, and the anger in his heart had risen to the peak: "Pass my order to burn all the remaining grain and grass!" ”

"What?" The adjutant general asked incredulously, not knowing what the meaning of the leader's move was.
