After receiving the notice, the ministers of Rouran, the nobles of the various ministries, and the military generals quickly rushed to Togajin's camp.

Tuhe Zhen relayed the news he had just received to them, and after listening to it, the general Kuren said: "Khan, I heard that there was a general named Li Ling in the Han Dynasty, he was ordered to lead his troops to attack the Xiongnu, when his 5,000 foot soldiers were surrounded by 30,000 Hun cavalry, he led his troops to kill thousands of Huns to break out of the encirclement, the Xiongnu Shan Yu led 100,000 cavalry to surround and intercept him, and finally he was trapped in the Han Mountain, defeated and captured!" ”

Minister Yourouran immediately said to Tuga Zhen: "Khan, this Bahan Mountain is an ominous place for the people of Qianguo, but it is auspicious for us Rouran!" This is an omen from heaven, Emperor Zhao Junsheng of the Qianguo Kingdom will be defeated and captured by the Khan in the Khan Mountain! ”

When Tuga Zhen heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he looked at the national teacher, "National teacher, do you think this is a good omen for us?" Did Zhao Junsheng lead his army to retreat to the Mt. Shan for other purposes? ”

Tan Wuye walked to the sheepskin map and looked at it for a while, and said to Tuhe Zhen: "Khan, the mountain is less than two hundred miles away from the border of the Qianguo country, and the terrain is very complicated, the poor monk can't think of what Zhao Junsheng's intentions are for a while, and ask the Khan to forgive him!" ”

Toga was a little disappointed.

The leader of the other tribe said loudly, "What is there to think about this? Zhao Junsheng must have been frightened by Xue Andu's death, he wanted to withdraw to the territory of Qianguo through the Dao Ba Khan Mountain, the terrain in that area is complicated, and it can be used as a cover to escape, this Zhao Junsheng is quite good at thinking! ”

Tuga Zhen and the ministers and generals of Rouran looked at the sheepskin map, but didn't they, taking the mountain of Bahan was indeed the closest way to retreat to the village.

A general stood up and said: "Khan, order all men and horses to besiege the cadres, if it is too late, they will escape!" ”

"I agree!"

"Khan, I agree too!"

Seeing that most of the ministers, nobles, and generals of the various ministries supported an immediate siege of Zhao Junsheng's Western Route Army, he hesitated for a moment before giving the order to attack, and messengers were sent to the various armies.

······

On the fifth day of the first month of June, the camp of the West Route Army of the Qianjun Army.

Zhao Junsheng stood in front of the map, studying this new map drawn by the scouts of the scout camp in the past few days, which had traveled all over a radius of more than 300 miles.

The scouts in the scout camp were highly trained, and each of them had the ability to survey and draw maps, which they had drawn based on field surveys, and had previously drawn all the terrain they had passed.

Zhao Junsheng asked while looking at the new map: "The scouts have clearly drawn the map of the area within more than two hundred miles around Junji Mountain, but I didn't choose the battlefield in that area, but planned to choose the battlefield in this area, do you know why?" ”

Na Yan bowed: "The last general is blunt, Your Majesty forgives you!" ”

"Because every time the Rouran people send troops to attack the border of our country, the area around Junji Mountain is a place they must pass through, and they are very familiar with that area, even if our scouts draw an accurate map, our understanding of the terrain in that area is not as clear as theirs!"

"But it's different here, although this is also the controlled area of the Rouran people, but it's sparsely populated, and there are almost no Rouran tribes grazing in this area, and now we are more familiar with the terrain in this area than the Rouran people, and we have a geographical advantage here!"

After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he instructed Na Yan: "Okay, you go out and stare at the outposts in all directions, if there is news of Rouran, you must report it immediately!" ”

"Yes!" Na Yan took the order and left.

Zhao Junsheng turned around and shouted: "Someone, spread the news that the generals and colonies of the army and the ministers of the army are discussing!" ”

It didn't take long for the generals and colonels of the army and the ministers of the army to arrive.

Zhao Junsheng said: "Zhuqing, in the past few days, we have been retreating because General Xue Andu and nearly 10,000 people under his command were annihilated by the Rouran people. ”

"This retreat is a tactical necessity, why do you say that? If you look at the map here, the Rouran people were divided into five or six parts before, with a minimum of 10,000 soldiers and horses for each unit, and a maximum of 20,000 soldiers and horses, and their distance was not far apart. We planned to counter the wolf pack tactics of the Rouran people with the wolf pack tactics, but we were forced to terminate them due to the destruction of General Xue Andu's troops! ”

"This time we retreated for three days, and we kept turning halfway, but the general direction did not change, and the people of Rouran must have guessed that our destination was in the area of the Bahan Mountains, and they may have thought that we were going to flee back to Sene, or they may have thought that we chose to retreat here as a sign from heaven! In short, they will definitely pounce on the mountain as fast as possible! ”

"But why is it that their ministries are arriving at a longer interval than before? Because we kept changing direction in this retreat, the distance between their troops and horses widened! Add to that the terrain of this area, and now we have a complete topographic map where we will launch a counteroffensive! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Junsheng looked at the ministers and generals and said, "Therefore, I plan to divide the troops into two routes, and I will personally lead the troops with 20,000 people all the way; Another 10,000 horses are led by Chang Kuntong! ”

"The task of Chang Kun's 10,000 horses is to attract the attention of the Rouran army, and retreat to the south, when retreating, discard a part of the baggage at intervals, so as to slow down the pursuit speed of the Rouran army, the direction of your retreat is to cover the captive, but you can change the direction at any time according to the actual situation, otherwise it is easy to be rushed to the front by the Rouran people to intercept you, to leave the scout sentry behind the palace, if you find that the Rouran army stops pursuing, Chang Kun will lead people to turn around and meet my people, We both use LetterEagle to keep in touch! ”

"The subordinate receives the order!" Chang Kun stood up and hugged his fists in agreement, and asked again: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, when will the minister leave this way?" ”

"After the meeting is adjourned, we will make preparations for the launch, wait for the order, and start immediately after the order!" After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, his eyes swept over the ministers, "The national teacher followed Chang Kun and gave him advice, and then selected a few Qing families to assist you, Lu Shuang, Pei Guangyuan, and Murong Chang gave Chang Kun as deputy generals, and the others followed me!" ”

"Your Ministers obey!" The ministers and generals agreed in unison, and Dongfang Chen immediately named several ministers and asked them to assist him.

At dusk, Na Yan hurried over and reported to Zhao Junsheng: "Your Majesty, the soldiers and horses of Rouran are rushing over here!" ”

Zhao Junsheng's expression froze, "Where are their various departments?" ”

Nayan walked to the new map, picked up a brush and drew a circle in each of the five positions on the map, some large and some small, the big circle represents the number of troops, and the small circle represents the small number of troops, and wrote the name of the commander in the circle.

Zhao Junsheng took a look at it and asked, "How fast are they marching?" When can I get here the fastest? ”

Na Yan replied: "The Rouran people know that our sentinel scouts are very strong, and they can't easily hide from us, so they will never dare to march at night, at their current speed, the fastest of 10,000 soldiers and horses will arrive here at the beginning of tomorrow morning, and the farthest from us is the men and horses of Kurenzhi, they are due north of us, and they will arrive here around the end of tomorrow!" ”

Zhao Junsheng thought for a moment and shouted: "Come on, send an order to all departments to prepare after dinner!" ”

As soon as the order was given, the atmosphere in the camp became tense, and everyone moved much more briskly, even walking faster than usual.

The dinner was particularly sumptuous, the portions were plentiful, and everyone was well fed, and everyone had already received dry food and water, which they could eat for three days, and then distribute it after three days.

The two armies, all the way to the south and all the way to the north, were not completely dark when they were opened, and the afterglow of the sunset was still illuminating the earth.

The tasks of Zhao Junsheng and Chang Kun are different, and Chang Kun's task is to attract the attention of the various forces of Rouran, and drag them at a brisk speed so that they do not catch up with them.

And Zhao Junsheng's task is to wait for the opportunity to break through the various departments of Rouran, so that they have no time to rescue each other.

Therefore, Zhao Junsheng ordered the partial general Yang Lie to take a thousand people to stay behind to clear the traces of his army, and keep up with the large army while clearing the traces, so as not to let the Rouran people who arrived first find that the cadre army had been divided into two routes.

All the baggage was given to Chang Kun's people and horses to take away, and they needed to use the method of discarding the baggage along the way to attract the attention of the Rouran tribes, so their march speed was not fast at the beginning, but as the more the baggage was abandoned, their burden would become more and more demanding, and the speed of the march would become faster and faster.

Zhao Junsheng gave the order, and after the whole army was marched quickly, there was a scout as a guide, this scout had already explored the terrain in this area, and he was relatively familiar, even if it was dark, he would not easily get lost.

From the beginning of the day to about six o'clock in the morning of the next day, Zhao Junsheng's army marched rapidly for one hundred and thirty miles and arrived at the predetermined place - Luedang.

Subsequently, Zhao Junsheng ordered the whole army to camp on the spot, sleep on the ground, and the soldiers did not remove their armor, their swords did not leave their hands, and their horses did not unload their saddles.

At the beginning of the day, the sky was already numb, and Zhao Junsheng and the ministers and generals of the army rode horses and stood on a hilly belt three miles away from the reeds.

The scout who led the way was beside Zhao Junsheng, and he clenched his fists and bowed: "Your Majesty, the large expanse of endless reeds in front of you is the location you are talking about!" The villain and the two brothers also went in to check, and found some rusty weapons and armor in the reeds and about three miles, as well as some bones, which should be hundreds of years old, and the weapons and armor were rusted to the point that they couldn't look like they."

Zhao Junsheng pointed to the reeds and said to the ministers and generals: "Zhuqing, look at that large piece of reeds, when Li Ling was chased and intercepted by the Huns with 100,000 cavalry, he retreated here. It was autumn, the reeds were all withered and yellow, and the Huns set fire to Li Ling and his thousands of soldiers in an attempt to burn Li Ling and his thousands of soldiers to death. ”

Li Ling's story, these ministers and generals all know that at this time, when they saw the place where Li Ling withdrew his troops back then, and remembered Li Ling's ending, they were all embarrassed for a while.

Zhao Junsheng didn't give these ministers and generals much time to sigh, he ordered: "Nayan, send scout sentry to investigate the surroundings, focusing on the direction in which Kurenzhi's army is advancing, once you find Kurenzhi's army, immediately fly to report!" ”

"Yes!"
