Liu Mi said in a low voice: "General, late yesterday night, his subordinates re-interrogated the Baitan County Order and a cadre, and the county lieutenant Pang confessed a message that Yangwu's Yan army was not just a thousand, but five thousand!" ”

Hatoro pale, "What? Five thousand? Then wouldn't we, the 3,000 people who used to fight the Yang Wu garrisoned by 5,000 people, have a very small chance of winning? Wait, is your message reliable? Don't you have that Pang who deceived you, right? ”

Liu Mi said: "He doesn't dare, the lives of his family are pinched in the hands of his subordinates, this news will be verified sooner or later, isn't he afraid of being wiped out by his subordinates?" ”

When He Doro heard this, he felt that it made sense, and began to worry about the future of his own team, knowing that Yangwu was a hard stone, wouldn't it be a fool to touch it with an egg?

He immediately said: "No, no, this general must send someone to tell the news to King Changshan, and ask the prince to send more soldiers and horses!" ”

Liu Mi smiled and shook his head: "General, aren't you looking for Mulan and Zhao Junsheng to take revenge?" Now is an opportunity, if you tell the news to King Changshan, this opportunity will not be there! ”

Hedoro was so anxious that he almost jumped to his feet: "What the hell is the idea, don't hang General Ben's appetite!" ”

"Yes, yes, the general is calm and don't be impatient, listen to the next one!"

Liu Mi was very vigilant, looked left and right again, and whispered: "After the army camped at dusk today, the general pretended to be sick and spread the news to the whole army so that the soldiers would know, and early tomorrow morning, the general ordered the army to slow down the march on the grounds of physical discomfort, and only walk thirty or forty miles a day!" ”

He Duoluo was a little confused, "Master Liu, are you trying to delay time?" But no matter how we delay, we still have to attack Yangwu, this is a military order issued by King Changshan, and we can't hide! ”

Liu Mi smiled: "General, of course we want to fight Yangwu, but are we in such a hurry to rush over to die?" We must give Yangwu's Yan army enough time to attack Mulan's right wing army! When Yangwu's Yan army goes to fight Mulan, Yangwu must be empty of troops, and if we speed up to fight Yangwu, wouldn't it be easy? ”

After hearing this, He Duoluo gasped, "Liu Mi, I just found out today that you old boy is so vicious, you want to let Mulan's right wing army use as bait to transfer Yangwu's Yan army away, and transfer the tiger away from the mountain, in this way, Hua Mulan was suddenly killed by Yangwu's Yan army when she attacked Pinggang, I am afraid that there is a danger of annihilation!" ”

Liu Mi was not angry, and said with a smile: "Isn't this exactly what the general wants?" ”

Hedora was stunned, and then laughed: "Hahaha······ Okay, you old boy, you really deserve to be a dog-headed military advisor, and only you can think of this kind of poisonous trick! ”

After speaking, Hedoro's face showed a fierce color: "Okay, just do it, this time I will let Mulan die without a place to be buried!" ”

At dusk, after the order to set up camp, he immediately pretended to be sick according to Liu Mi's strategy, and asked his soldiers to spread the news to warm up for tomorrow's order to slow down the march, if the order to slow down the march was suddenly ordered tomorrow, it would inevitably arouse the suspicion of the soldiers.

And this is not only for the leading soldiers to see, but also for the Yan army.

The next day, the leading army slowed down its march according to Hedoro's orders, and walked only more than thirty miles for a whole day.

Of course, it was impossible for the Yan army to be unaware of the military operations of the Wei army, and the Yangwu side had already sent scouts to investigate, and found that the march of Hedoro's troops and horses was abnormal.

That night, several of Hedoro's sentries were tongue-scratched by the Yan army scouts, and after a brutal interrogation, the Wei soldiers who were tongue-scratched confessed to Hedoro's illness, and the Yan army scouts knew why Hedoro had slowed down the march.

This news was quickly sent to Yao Zhao, the Yangwu guard, in a day's time by the Yan army scouts.

Yao Zhao had previously followed Zhang Xing to fight Youzhou, and after the defeat and retreat, he was sent by Feng Hong to Yangwu to defend the town, he was actually the supreme military commander in Pingzhou and Bingzhou, and he could use more than 10,000 troops, but more than 10,000 men and horses were scattered and garrisoned in various places.

At the beginning, Yao Zhao was ordered by Feng Hong to send Yangwu to defend the town, but when he learned that the Northern Route Army had more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, he felt that his heart was cool and cool, even if he concentrated all the soldiers and horses in Pingzhou and Bingzhou, it was less than one-third of the Northern Route Army, if the defenders and officials of Pingzhou and Bingzhou had the heart to die, he believed that he could hold out until the Wei army retreated, and resisted the siege of more than 30,000 people with more than 10,000 men and horses, as long as it was properly deployed, this was not difficult.

The key is that he knows that not all of the defenders, guards, and officials in Pingzhou and Bingzhou have the will to die, because Feng Hong, the king of heaven, is mean and unkind, and he is not very popular, and the officials, people, and soldiers everywhere have little loyalty to him.

"This Tuoba Su is really arrogant, he actually attacked separately, and there were only 3,000 people on each road, just with this number of people and horses, he wanted to take down my Pingzhou and Bingzhou?" Yao Zhao looked at the map and sneered.

A soldier walked in and whispered a few words in the adjutant general's ear, and the adjutant sent the messenger away.

"General, there's the latest news!"

"What Xiong Xi?"

The adjutant general said: "According to the report from the spies, the general of the Wei army, He Duoluo, who is leading troops to kill my Yangwu, is sick, and the marching speed of this team of 3,000 people at the moment is only more than 30 miles a day. ”

Only marching more than 30 miles a day? Yao Zhao calculated that it would take at least seven or eight days to reach Yangwu at this speed.

Yao Zhao was a little unsure in his heart, "Will there be fraud?" Didn't Hedora want to lure me to the camp? ”

The adjutant general frowned and said, "No, as far as the last general knows, Hedora is a barbarian, not a person who is good at tricks!" General, while Hedoro is ill, why don't we set up an ambush on the way, take off this group of men and horses, and then turn back to deal with the other two? ”

Yao Zhao looked at the map, his finger on the map along the route of Hedoro's army, shook his head, and said, "How easy is it to set up an ambush to succeed?" There are indeed a lot of steep places on the way to Hedoro's soldiers and horses, but their scouts are not vegetarians, and it is not easy for our soldiers and horses to hide somewhere and set up an ambush without being discovered. ”

The adjutant general felt a little pity, "General, this is a rare opportunity!" ”

Yao Zhao thought for a while and asked, "Where is the other group?" Who is the general with the troops? What about the main force of tobasu? ”

The adjutant replied: "The other way of leading the troops shouted called Mulan, I heard that it is a female general, at this time is leading the troops to Pinggang, the specific position is not clear, but we can calculate, these two roads of soldiers and horses are starting from Baitan at the same time, if they follow the normal marching speed, they should be in the area of the Black Bull Whistle at this moment!" According to the report from the spies, there is also a military horse with Mulan, and there are also 3,000 people, and the leading general is Zhao Junsheng, the assassin of Youzhou in Wei State! As for the main force of Tuoba Su, they are still in Baitan at the moment, and there is no movement! ”

"Oh?" Yao Zhao was a little stunned when he heard the name Zhao Junsheng, when he followed Zhang Xing to conquer Youzhou of Wei State, more than 20,000 horses were beaten by Zhao Junsheng and had no power to fight back, which can be said to be fresh in his memory.

However, Yao Zhao thought about it, this is not Youzhou, but the territory of Yan State, he is fighting locally, while Zhao Junsheng and others are outsiders, and they cannot get the support of the people.

Thinking about it, Yao Zhao's eyes became more and more determined, and he secretly swore in his heart that the humiliation he suffered in Youzhou that day would be returned to Zhao Junsheng this time no matter what.

He stared at the map and pondered for a long time, and then instructed his soldiers: "Come on, go and invite Mr. Ji!" ”

Mr. Ji's name is Ji Da, and he is Yao Zhao's staff member and serves as Shangshu.

"I've seen the general, I don't know what the general's order is to summon the old man to come?"

Yao Zhao told Ji Da about the military situation of the Wei army, and then lowered his posture and asked for advice very humbly: "Mr. Ji, if you want to win this battle, how should you act?" Please give me some advice! ”

Ji Da quietly listened to Yao Zhao's introduction of the Wei army's military situation, walked to the map and looked at it, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "General, the old man doesn't dare to guarantee that the general can win this battle, but if the general listens to the old man, the old man will definitely try his best to plan for the general!" Don't hide it! ”

"Ben will listen to you!"

Ji Da stretched out his hand and pointed to a place on the map: "The general can send a thousand people to garrison here, prepare more rocks and wood, not to set up an ambush, and the ambush will not hide from the elite scouts of the Wei army, the role of this thousand people is to block the three thousand people of Hedoro, whether he has a conspiracy or not, as long as he stops him here, he has nothing to do!" ”

"In addition, the general ordered that all the troops in the two counties around Pinggang be transferred to Pinggang and give up these two counties, so that Pinggang will have 3,000 people and defend the city with 3,000 people, as long as they don't go out of the city to fight a field battle, it will not be too easy for Wei generals Hua Mulan and Zhao Junsheng to capture Pinggang with 6,000 men!"

"At this time, the general can leave a thousand people to garrison in Yangwu, and take the remaining three thousand people to help Pinggang, if the march is secretive enough, he can also attack Hua Mulan and Zhao Junsheng with the Pinggang defenders inside and outside!"

Yao Zhao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his face was happy, "Mr. is really resourceful, if he does this, he will definitely be able to kill the Wei army!" ”

Ji Da frowned and said, "It's just ······ If the main force of Tuoba Su, the king of Changshan of Wei State, has been stationed in Baitan, it is always a variable, if the general wants to implement the plan just now, he must be fast when attacking Hua Mulan and Zhao Junsheng, and he cannot give Tuoba Su the opportunity to send troops to help, otherwise his efforts will be wasted! ”

In fact, Yao Zhao and Ji Da didn't know that at this moment, Tuoba Su only left an empty camp in Baitan, and he had already taken the main army to Jiande County by small road.
