As the saying goes, people die for money, birds die for food, and people who throw away their lives for a little money abound, and these people don't know the truth that they have a life to take money but not a life to spend!

Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan were very sensible, and they ordered someone to bury all the seized property and all valuable items and baggage early, and then take them away when they had the opportunity to do so in the future.

You must know that now is to flee for your life, not to play in the mountains and rivers, and carrying too much baggage will definitely affect the speed of retreat, but some people are reluctant to give up that little money and baggage, and they are reluctant to throw away anything.

It was supposed to take only an hour to go, but they had to load everything and take it with them, and they couldn't take it away until dawn.

At dawn, when it was really the darkest time, a figure hid in a trench under the mound of earth outside the city and did not dare to act rashly, because there were two Wei army sentry posts standing on the mound of earth overhead.

"I'm so sleepy! Third child, what are the brothers in the camp doing? It's been a lot of noise all night, endlessly! The one on the left asked.

One of the people on the right said, "It seems to be carrying supplies and loading the truck!" ”

"Hey, it can't be that the army is retreating, right?"

"Who knows? Let's stand at the post, the guard will be changed in half an hour at most, and then we will go back to the camp and sleep beautifully! ”

"Oops, no, I'm in a hurry, I have to, you keep an eye on it first, I'll come when I go!"

"It's really lazy and peeing, go ahead, come back quickly!" The sentry on the right cursed.

After the sentry on the left covered his stomach and left, the black shadow hidden in the trench quietly straightened up, slowly pulled out the dagger on his waist, shook it in his hand, threw the dagger out of his hand, hit the sentry's throat, and the sentry made a howl sound and fell to the trench, the black shadow caught him, put it down gently, and then quickly climbed up the trench and left quickly in the direction of the city wall.

The sky was numb and bright, and on the tower of the west city wall, Guo Sheng, the marshal of the Yan Army with a majestic face, looked at the black-clothed spy kneeling in front of him and asked, "What you just said is true?" ”

"Back to Dashuai, there is no lie, every word is true!"

"Well, you're doing a great job! Come here, reward him with ten gold, and give him an official promotion! Guo Sheng said loudly.

The black-clothed detective was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you marshal, thank you marshal!" ”

"Give him good wine and meat, and sleep well after eating and drinking, go down!"

"The villain retires!"

arranged a sentry post with a message, and Guo Sheng immediately shouted: "Someone, prepare a horse!" ”

In less than a moment, Guo Sheng came to the palace gate, at this time the sky was already bright, but the palace had not yet opened, Guo Sheng had to shout at the palace gate that there was an urgent military situation to report to the king, if it was delayed, no one could afford to suffer.

Under Guo Sheng's continuous pressure, the palace gate guards went to report.

It took two moments before the palace gate was opened, and Guo Sheng immediately rushed in on horseback.

After waiting for a cup of tea in the main hall, Feng Hongcai yawned and walked to Dan Majesty to sit on his knees, and asked with sleepy eyes: "Guo Qing, why do you have to come to see the widow so early?" ”

Guo Sheng clenched his fists and said: "Heavenly King, the minister sent someone to sneak out of the city last night to investigate the enemy's situation, according to the spies, the Wei army is planning to retreat!" ”

"Oh?" Feng Hong was shocked when he heard this, he was completely sleepy, and said with a happy face: "This is a good thing!" Okay, okay, the widow can finally sleep peacefully! ”

Guo Sheng said: "Does the Heavenly King know why the Wei army is retreating? ”

"They have been fighting for so many days, and they have suffered heavy losses, and it will only be in vain if they continue to fight, they must not be able to fight anymore, so they retreated!" Feng Hong speculated to himself.

"Definitely!" Guo Sheng shook his head, "Heavenly King, there are two real reasons why the spies brought back the Wei army to retreat: first, Emperor Wei Tuoba Jian died; Second, we sent people to the Southern Dynasty to ask for help, and the Southern Dynasty sent a naval division full of soldiers and horses to capture Jieshi Mountain and cut off the coastal road! ”

Feng Hong's face was full of shock, and he stood up unconsciously: "What? Is Tuoba Jian dead? Is the message reliable? ”

"Absolutely reliable, he saw with his own eyes that Lai Daqian brought Tuoba Jian's coffin with his soldiers to carry Tuoba Jian's coffin out of the palace and loaded it into a carriage, as well as the coffins of many ministers!"

Feng Hong muttered to himself: "This······ How can it be? Is what Xing Huaiming said true? ”

"It's true, in fact, the minister didn't believe it at first, but now he believes it!" Guo Sheng nodded, and then said, "Heavenly King, our opportunity has come!" ”

Feng Hong wondered, "What chance?" ”

"The Wei army died the emperor, and the coastal road was cut off by our allies, the Wei army must be like a mourner, the people are panicked, they choose to retreat at this time is forced to be helpless, but they can only take the north road, along the stone city, the white wolf, and then go to Yangwu, Pinggang, and then or all the way west to Beigukou to enter the pass, or take the white sandalwood along the southwest and go down to Lulongsai to enter the pass, but no matter which way they go, the road is difficult to travel, and the retreat speed is definitely not fast, as long as we send people to sneak into it to spread rumors, they will be in chaos, We will chase after us again, and send another detachment to take the path to the front and set up an ambush······"

Feng Hong hesitated, he was scared, "Guo Qing, this ······ Wei Jun is leaving, let's forget it! ”

Guo Sheng's eyes widened, "Heavenly King, the Wei army burned, killed, and plundered in the territory of my Dayan, robbing hundreds of people, money and livestock, this time is the best opportunity to hit them hard, if this battle is fought well, at least within ten years, they will no longer dare to raise troops to attack my Dayan!" ”

Feng Hong was silent for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "What are your chances of winning?" ”

"First of all, Emperor Wei was killed, and the ministers of the army were killed and wounded, and the Wei generals were worried about leaking the news and attacked us, but now their back road has been cut off, but they can no longer hold on, and the Wei generals are like lost dogs at the moment! Weichen didn't dare to say that there was a 10% chance of winning, at least 80%! ”

"Heavenly King, now is the best time for us to take revenge, if we miss this opportunity, we will regret it!"

"How many troops are there in the city?"

"Eighteen thousand!"

Feng Hong gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, if you want to do it, you can do it with a big vote, leave 3,000 people for the widow to defend the city, and the remaining 15,000 people will all be taken away by you, you can fight as much as you want!" ”

Feng Hong still has some ruthlessness and courage, otherwise he would not have killed all of his eldest brother's more than 100 sons in the first place.

Guo Sheng was overjoyed, hugged his fists and said: "Obey!" ”

When he returned to the city tower, Guo Sheng immediately arranged for spies to prepare to go out of the city and blend in with the Wei army, and he immediately ordered the Yan army to assemble and prepare to go out of the city to pursue and kill the Wei army.

When Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan led the army to Shicheng, except for Lai Daqian, who took soldiers and horses to protect the coffins of the emperor and ministers, the other armies set off to retreat in the direction of Shicheng.

Riding on horseback and looking at the city walls of Shicheng from a distance, Zhao Junsheng turned his head to look at the team behind him, and couldn't help but say to Hua Mulan: "A good deck of cards is actually played like this, you look at it, if Tuoba Qi and Tuoba Qiu are reluctant to carry those belongings, there is a chance that they will be caught up by the Wei army, and there will definitely be corpses all over the field at that time!" ”

Hua Mulan said: "Brother Junsheng, I can't understand, obviously we have an absolute advantage, why have we become a lost dog now?" Even if the emperor and the ministers of the army are killed, we still have an absolute superiority in troops······"

Zhao Junsheng shook his head and said: "The military is for politics, and if the emperor and all the ministers accompanying the army die, it is politically equivalent to complete failure, and the army's spirit is scattered, so what is the use of the number of people?" Look at it, once the news spreads, the soldiers will definitely flee faster, and when the time comes, there will be a mess on the way to escape, plus the coastal road is cut off, and the panicked soldiers only hate their father and mother for giving two legs! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Junsheng couldn't help but feel sorry and said: "We have died so many brothers, this battle has been fought for two months, and in the end, we not only have to hand over the territory in hand, but also lose our troops, hey——"

Hua Mulan couldn't help but shake her head when she heard this.

Bai Jinguang behind him asked coldly: "General, after the White Wolf City, which way do we go?" Is it to take the small road back to Baitan, and then from Baitan to Lulongsai? Or go northwest to Yangwu? ”

Zhao Junsheng said: "The coffins of the emperor and the ministers of the army are transported by carts and horses, and they can't take the path, so they must go to Yangwu, pass through Pinggang, and then go all the way to the west, and then it seems that Daqian wants to go through Youzhou in Beigukou or go directly to Daijun in the west, our task is to give Daqian a break to prevent the Yan army from catching up and snatching the coffin, so we have to take the road of Yangwu!" ”

Bai Jinguang said: "General, if this is the case, from the white wolf to Yangwu to turn over and cross the ridge, there is a dangerous place on the way called Tumen Ridge, where Emperor Ming Yuan once commanded the army to attack Yilian City and White Wolf City. Tumen Ridge is on higher ground, although it is not very dangerous, but the mountains are high and dense, and it is easy to hide troops, and the last general thinks that we can set up an ambush in that area to deal a heavy blow to the pursuing Yan army! ”

When Zhao Junsheng heard this, he immediately took out the map and looked at it, he found the location of Tumen Ridge on the map, but it was not so easy to successfully ambush the Yan army, the generals and soldiers of the Yan army were not stupid, and they would definitely send people to investigate in advance when they encountered dangerous places, and then continue to pursue after making sure that there was no ambush.

However, Zhao Junsheng also felt that there was no article to do, and there was a distance of nearly two hundred miles from Shicheng to Tumen Ridge. In the middle, you have to pass through the White Wolf City, if the Wei army is embarrassed along the way, there is no resistance at all, this is very likely to make the Yan army lose vigilance, if you arrange and plan well, it will not be possible.

Zhao Junsheng asked: "Is there any place near Tumen Ridge where soldiers and horses can be hidden?" ”

Bai Jinguang thought for a while and said: "There is such a place, it is a valley five miles southeast of Tumen Ridge, but this valley can only enter, not out, there are cliffs on all sides, and soldiers and horses can be hidden, but once the valley mouth is blocked by the enemy, there is a danger that the whole army will be annihilated!" When the last general led his troops from Yangwu City to White Wolf City, he passed by Tumen Ridge and rested for a day, and several scouts were ordered to go out to explore the surrounding terrain and found the valley, so the last general remembered it very clearly! ”

"If the Yan army pursues the soldiers under the Tumen Ridge, can the soldiers and horses hidden in the valley appear behind the Yan army?" Zhao Junsheng asked.

Bai Jinguang said: "No, but you can attack from the side!" ”

"That's it!"
