Eagle City.

The remnant sun is slanting westward, and on the head of the city, Tuoba Liwei is messy in the wind, looking at the direction of Wei Ying from afar, his eyes are full of expectations.

200,000 cattle and sheep have been sent to Wei Ying, and he looked at Su Zhe to receive his benefits, so he hurriedly rolled up and rolled up.

Only when Su Zhe is gone, can he recuperate as soon as possible and regain strength.

"After this battle, more than 500,000 sheep were lost, and the various departments suffered heavy losses, and it took at least two or three years to recover, but fortunately, the losses suffered by my Tuoba Department were not heavy, and it can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune......

Tuobali muttered to himself slightly, sighed slightly, and secretly rejoiced in his eyebrows.

At this moment, in the direction of the south, a horse galloped over, and it was Tuoba Li Hu's entourage.

There's new news coming!

Tuobali's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ordered the city gate to be opened and the messenger entered.

"How about it, when does the Su thief plan to withdraw his troops?" Before the messenger could catch his breath, Tuoba Liwei asked impatiently.

"Back to the Khan, Leader Li Hu said, the Su thief promised to withdraw in two days at the latest."

Tuoba Li breathed a sigh of relief, relieved, and said with a smile: "Okay, good, the Su thief really hit the plan, go back and tell Tuoba Li Hu, let him coax the Su thief to Ben Khan, just wait for Wei Jun to leave, Ben Khan will reward him heavily." ”

The messenger received the order and immediately left the city and went straight to the Wei camp.

Tuoba Li looked at the direction of Wei Ying slightly, and snorted coldly: "Su thief, you have eaten 200,000 sheep of Ben Khan, one day, Ben Khan will make you vomit out even Ben Li!" ”

Sima Yi on the side also sneered: "If the Su thief retreats from the army, it proves that with the national strength of the Wei State, it cannot support its expedition to the grassland, although we have lost some soldiers, horses, cattle and sheep, we can also find out the bottom line of the Wei army, and if he fights with the Su thief again, we will be able to be much calmer." ”

Tuobali laughed slightly, regaining the domineering arrogance of the steppe khan, as if he had forgotten all the previous setbacks.

At this moment, the defenders in the direction of the north gate suddenly came to report, claiming that in the direction of the north gate, a large number of soldiers and civilians suddenly fled, and they didn't know what happened.

"North Gate?"

Tuoba Liwei's heart shook slightly, he was suspicious, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he rode his horse and galloped away.

Sima Yi also followed closely.

Tuoba Liwei came to the north gate, and sure enough, he saw that outside the city gate, thousands of Xianbei people, like rats crossing the street, came to the desert.

Tuoba Liwei called for the city gate to be opened, let the men into the city, and dragged a few people up to the city, asking what was the matter.

"Qiyu Khan, a cavalry of the Wei army suddenly attacked our Yinshan Pass, we were caught off guard, and the pass was lost!"

Click!

A thunderbolt from the sky crashed down, and in an instant, Tuoba Li was slightly shocked physically and mentally, and his head was dizzy.

Sima Yi was also stunned, and his expression was instantly replaced by horror.

Yinshan Pass was actually attacked by the Wei army!

The news was so shocking that Tuoba Liwei didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and his body stiffened and became cold.

"How did the Wei army hide from our eyes and ears and sneak attack Yinshan?" Sima Yi, who came back to his senses first, asked sharply.

"Those Wei troops didn't come from the south, they came out of the Yinshan valley along the southern edge of Yinshan."

Sima Yi's body was shocked, his thoughts were flying, he shivered violently, understood everything, and scolded: "Damn, I fell for the trick of the Su thief again!" ”

"Zhongda, what's going on, what the hell is going on?" Tuobali roared slightly.

Sima Yi sighed helplessly: "Khan, we have all fallen for the trick of the Su thief, he pretended to accept our invitation to surrender, and pretended to bargain with us, in fact, it was just to confuse us and make us relax our vigilance, but he secretly sent a cavalry, first to the west, and then north to the edge of Yinshan Mountain, under the cover of the mountains and forests all the way back to the east, only to kill the Yinshan Pass by surprise." ”

Sima Yi is extremely resourceful, and at this time, how can he not see the truth.

Tuoba Li's body was shocked, and he suddenly woke up, and his heart was hit hard again, and in an instant, he felt so ashamed that he wanted to explode.

Just a moment ago, he was still sneering self-righteously, thinking that Su Zhe was greedy and short-sighted, and fell for his trick of surrendering, so he let him go, retreated, and gave him a chance to breathe.

He never expected that Su Zhe had already seen through his thoughts, coaxed him like a clown, and secretly used a fatal killing move to attack his Yin Mountain Pass.

This means that the most convenient and feasible passage for him to flee to the Mobei grassland has been blocked.

If he and his Xianbei soldiers and civilians want to flee to Mobei again, they can only go through the desert in the east, and in such a harsh terrain, he doesn't know how many cattle and sheep he has to lose, and how many men and horses can successfully reach Mobei.

"Su thief, you treacherous dog thief, you treacherous dog thief!"

Tuobali was slightly furious, and his emotions were out of control under shame, and he pulled out his scimitar and slashed wildly at the battlements, trying to vent his anger.

Sima Yi and the Xianbei generals on the left and right were all startled and retreated to the side one after another, for fear that Tuoba Li would hurt them in a slight anger.

Finally, after cutting two battlements in succession, Tuoba Li was slightly relieved, gasping for anger and putting away the scimitar.

"Zhongda, you say, what should we do now?" Tuoba Li looked at Sima Yi with a slightly pleading gaze.

At this point, he can no longer rely on the Xianbei nobles under him, and he can only count on Sima Yi's wisdom.

Sima Yi pondered for a moment, and arched his hand: "Now, the news of the fall of Yinshan Pass will soon spread throughout the whole army, and the people's hearts will definitely be turbulent, if we retreat from the eastern desert, even if we can get rid of the pursuit of the Wei army, we will definitely suffer heavy losses." ”

"So, I thought we had to recapture the Yinshan Pass."

Tuobali's expression was slightly shocked, and suddenly his face was hideous again.

Sima Yi continued: "If the Su thieves attack the mountain pass, they will not dare to send a large army, and I expect that there will be no more than 5,000 cavalry. What the Khan has to do now is to quickly send troops to recapture the Yinshan Pass before the Su thief learns the news, so as to reverse the defeat. ”

Tuoba Liwei saw hope.

Although the Wei army succeeded in the surprise attack, the time when Su Zhe got the news, after all, was one step later than him, if he could make a time difference and regain control of Yinshan Pass before Su Zhe made a move, he might be able to force Su Zhe to accept the fact of retreating.

Even after that, Su Zhe still refused to retreat, the Yinshan Pass was in his hands, and he couldn't bear it, so he might retreat to Mobei from there.

Tuobali's eyes gathered slightly, he made up his mind, and shouted: "Pass the order, quickly gather 20,000 iron cavalry, Ben Khan will personally go north, destroy the sneak attack Wei army, and recapture the mountain pass!" ”
