Bai Jinguang did not choose to withdraw to the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty at the first time, because the less than 1,000 Xianbei cavalry under his command could not get rid of the pursuit of Gu Ni, and if he wanted to retreat west, he had to cross the river, and it was the middle of July, when the water level of the river was the highest, it was very difficult to cross the river, and it would take a lot of time, but he was afraid that he would be caught up by the Yan army before he crossed the river.

Two hours after Bai Jinguang left with his soldiers and horses, Gu Ni led the army to arrive.

"General, the Wei army should have just left, no more than two hours at most, judging from the traces of tracking, they have gone east!" The detective sentry in charge of the investigation came to report to Gu Ni.

Gu Ni frowned when he heard this, "To the east? Do they want to go deep into the hinterland of my Yan country? ”

The generals and colonels beside him did not say anything.

"Bring me the map!"

A map was sent to Gu Ni, he took it and began to look at it, "Walked west······

After studying for a while, Gu Ni ordered: "Order the whole army to pursue east!" ”

Three thousand cavalry quickly marched eastward, the speed of the march was completely horsepower, which is also the advantage of local warfare, the Yan army can be supplied on the spot at any time, and there is no need to take into account the problems of grain and grass, because the style of the Yan army is not much better than that of the Northern Wei army, and when they need to replenish the grain and grass, they are also forcibly levied from the people, and they will rob if they do not give it.

At dusk, Gu Ni led the army to chase to the vicinity of Gansong Fort and lost the trace of the Wei army.

"General, the traces of the Wei army have disappeared here!" The neat sentry reported to the ancient mud.

Gu Ni was displeased: "How can the traces of the Wei army disappear?" ”

"General Hui, this area belongs to the mountains, the ground is rocky and sandy, due to the scorching sun, the ground is very dry, there are no horseshoe prints, and there is no horse manure nearby, the villain estimates that the Wei army must have picked up the horse manure by himself, and wanted to get rid of our pursuit!"

Gu Ni flipped through the map and looked at it, and asked, "Gansong Fortress is nearby, right?" ”

"Yes General, it's about four miles southeast of here!"

Gu Ni thought for a moment and ordered: "Send someone to Gansong Fort to ask if they know the direction of the Wei army when they leave!" ”

"General, we have already asked, the soldiers and generals of the fort said that they only knew that they found a soldier and horse coming this way, they guarded the fort, but they dared to come out to check, and when they felt that something was wrong, the Wei army was gone!"

A lieutenant next to him said to Gu Ni: "General, if it is late today, even if we find the direction of the Wei army's departure, we can't chase it at this time, let's find a place to camp first, and then send a sentry to expand the search area tomorrow, I don't know what the general thinks?" ”

Gu Ni also knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to catch up with the Wei army at this time, so he could only find a place to camp first, so he said: "Then go to Gansong Fort to camp!" ”

When Gu Ni arrived at the Gansong Fort four miles away with 3,000 men and horses, and asked the defenders to open the gate of the fort and let the army enter the fort to rest, the defender shouted at the head of the city: "Please forgive General Gu, the area of this fort is too small, and it can't accommodate too many soldiers and horses, if the general only brings 100 guards into the fort to rest, the last general can still open the gate of the fort and let the general and others in, but the fort really can't fit 3,000 men and horses!" ”

"Fart, is General Ben the one who left his brother behind and went to enjoy alone? In this case, Ben will not embarrass you, Ben will camp under this fort, you just need to bring hot food and soup to my army soldiers! Gu Ni rode on horseback and shouted at the city wall.

The voice of the guard came from the head of the city: "There are only about 100 people in this fort, there is not much food in stock, where can we afford to supply food for the 3,000 army, even if the general kills the last general, the last general will not be able to get hot food and soup for the general!" ”

Gu Ni scolded angrily: ", this is not good, that is not good, Lao Tzu should not bring the brothers to this place where birds don't!" Someone came, ordered all departments to camp on the spot, and sent detective cavalry detective posts to expand the search area! ”

The 3,000 cavalry set up camp under the Gansong fort with such a big attitude.

On the city wall, Wei soldiers wearing Yan army armor and military uniforms stood guard under the female wall with spears, and on the city wall lay the stripped Yan army defenders, these Yan soldiers had been dead for a long time, and there were blood stains everywhere on the city wall.

A large number of Wei weapons in the fort squatted under the city wall, one by one, as if facing a great enemy.

On the upper floor of the fort city, a general saw that the Yan army under the fort turned around and went to camp, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said to Bai Jinguang: "Captain, it was so dangerous just now, if they came earlier, they would have found us." Now we can wait for them to fall asleep and launch a raid! ”

Bai Jinguang said with a serious expression: "Don't be careless! Quickly let people clean up the blood stains on the city wall, be sure to clean it up before the bloody qi spreads, and carry all the corpses away and hide them, in case Gu Ni suddenly wants to enter the castle, it will be troublesome! ”

"Yes, General!"

Bai Jinguang arranged this just in case, but he didn't expect Gu Ni to really come after dark, and he was followed by twenty soldiers.

After Bai Jinguang stabilized his flustered mood, he immediately made corresponding arrangements, and then he ordered to open the door of the fort, and personally welcomed Gu Ni and his twenty personal soldiers into the fort, and led them to the lobby of the fort to eat.

Gu Ni was eating a steaming meal and wine in the lobby of the castle, feeling very comfortable, but he soon realized that something was wrong, "Why is there such a strong smell of blood?" With that, he got up and walked to the next room.

Bai Jinguang saw that there was a problem, and immediately made a decision, shouting: "Do it!" ”

A row of archers ran to the door and opened their bows and arrows to fire, and the Yan soldiers inside and outside the door fell one after another, and Gu Niyou was shot with an arrow because he didn't check for a while.

Bai Jinguang immediately drew his knife and rushed up to fight with Gu Ni, the two fought for more than ten rounds, and with the assistance of several soldiers, Gu Ni was killed in the lobby.

"Clean up this place!"

Some of the soldiers ran in and carried the corpses away, took back all the arrows, and wiped the blood away.

Bai Jinguang thought for a moment and ordered: "Send some meat to the Yan army outside the fort, and add some condiments to the meat!" ”

Cartloads of mutton, horse meat, and beef were carried out of the fort gate by horses in the direction of the Yan army's camp, and the Yan army was happy to receive the meat, and many fires were lit in the camp to start barbecuing the meat.

In the middle of the night, the soldiers of the Yan army who had eaten meat fell asleep one by one, and at this time, the Wei soldiers in the fort secretly sneaked out of the fort and entered the Yan army camp under the leadership of Bai Jinguang.

In less than an hour, more than 3,000 heads were neatly stacked in the middle of the camp.

At dawn, Bai Jinguang gathered with men and horses and crossed the river to the west.

This army came quietly, silently left, and when the fat Feng Chong got the news, it was already two days later, Feng Chong received the news of the destruction of the entire army of Gu Ni, and felt that the evil breath in his heart finally came out, and he reported the news after two days.

When the generalissimo of the Western Expedition received the news, he immediately ordered to speed up the march and came in the direction of Beiping on the right.

Bai Jinguang led the people and horses to quietly cross the Yuyang realm and returned to Jixian County.

"General Qiyu, my subordinates are back, and the Yan army has already made a big move to kill in the direction of Yuyang!" After returning to Jixian County, Bai Jinguang immediately came to the Thorn History Mansion to report to Zhao Junsheng, who had just returned.

"You go down and rest first!" Zhao Junsheng commanded.

"Yes, General!"

After Zhao Junsheng waited for Bai Jinguang to leave, he beckoned to Guo Yi: "Send someone to keep an eye on Yan Jun's every move and report it at any time!" ”

"Command!"

As soon as Guo Yi left, Hua Mulan walked over from the backyard and asked, "Brother Junsheng, is something happening?" ”

Zhao Junsheng turned his head to see that it was Mulan, and explained with a smile: "Oh, I came to report that Yan Jun had moved!" ”

"Really? This has to be paid attention to, I think it is better to strengthen the armament and let the soldiers be ready to fight at any time! Hua Mulan didn't understand the real situation, so she said this to Zhao Junsheng.

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "I have ordered Xizuo to continue to investigate carefully, and strive to find out what happened to the Yan army, so as to make corresponding arrangements!" It's just that Yuyang is too guarded and General Zhenbei is unruly and doesn't listen to orders, this matter is a little difficult to do! ”

Hua Mulan frowned when she heard this, "Feng Yu? Since he didn't listen to orders, why didn't Junsheng's brother take him down? Report to the imperial court to reappoint the Taishou! ”

Zhao Junsheng shook his head: "This matter is not so simple, this Feng Yu has already run Yuyang like an iron bucket, the needle can't be inserted, the water can't be splashed, and this person has a lot of complaints about the court and the emperor, as long as there is a slight disturbance on my side, it may force him to rebel, if he takes refuge in Beiyan, this is not good news for us!" ”

A few days later, Zhang Xing, the generalissimo of the Northern Yan expedition to the west, led an army of 20,000 to cross the border and invade Yuyang, Pinggu and Hunu were captured successively, the Yan army approached Yuyang County, Feng Yu led 3,000 cavalry to attack, but was defeated by Zhang Xing with absolute superiority, Feng Wei immediately retreated to Yuyang County with only a few hundred people to defend the city, and sent fast horses to Zhao Junsheng for help, the defenders of the northern Pingshu received the news and sent troops to come to the rescue, but Zhang Xing set up an ambush in the middle of the road to besiege the city and send reinforcements, and all the reinforcements of the two thousand troops of the Pingshu were annihilated.

At this point, the Wei army in Yuyang was completely lost, and only a few hundred defenders in Yuyang County remained.

Zhao Junsheng received a sealed distress letter, but he tore it to shreds.

"Li Bao!"

"In!"

"Go and kill the messenger secretly, and don't say anything about it to anyone!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Junsheng summoned civil and military officials to the Assassin's Mansion the next day to discuss matters.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Yan army has already arrived at Yuyang City, how should we deal with it?"

Dongfang Chen stood up and arched his hand and said, "General, our subordinates think that we should be prepared, don't be caught off guard by the Yan army!" ”

Hua Mulan also stood up and said, "I agree with Mr. Dongfang's words, we don't know how long Yuyang can last, but we are now gathering troops and horses, and at the same time sending detectives to investigate the military situation!" ”

At this moment, a soldier quickly ran in to report: "General Qiyu, the Yan army has broken through Yuyang, and Yuyang Taishou Feng Yu broke through the siege with a hundred and ten people and fled to Rouran!" ”

"Hey, this sealed life is really big, this won't die!" Zhao Junsheng couldn't help but get up and say a word, thought about it and immediately ordered: "Li Bao, you go and give Gao Xu an order, let him lead the army to the east and capture Yuanpingshu!" ”
