After defeating the Tuhou coalition army, Liu Ye immediately led the Xixiang army to the Tutu Nu Division. Like the Ava, the Tutunu also had a walled defense. Moreover, the walls of the Tutunu tribe are higher than those of the Awa tribe. When Liu Ye led his troops to the Tutunu Ministry, the Tutunu Ministry, which was already under martial law. The walls of the wall are filled with all kinds of Hu people. However, most of these Hu people had some fear in their eyes. After all, they had just fought a big defeat. And the number of the Saigo Army is far beyond their imagination. The morale of the Hu people is obviously not too high.

After Liu Ye led his troops to Tutunu, he did not immediately attack. Instead, they set up camp and began to build siege equipment. After all, the Tutunu Department has a walled defense, and if it is attacked hard, it will suffer a lot. Since the camp of the Xixiang Army has not yet been completed, in order to prevent the Tuhou Coalition Army from launching a sneak attack while the Xixiang Army is not firmly established. Liu Ye specially ordered the cavalry to stand by. At the same time, a large number of scouts were scattered to prevent the Tuhou coalition from attacking again. I don't know if the Tuhou coalition army was scared, but before the camp was completed, the Tuhou coalition army did not launch a sneak attack. This made Liu Ye breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh.

As night fell, after arranging the light and dark sentinels and a large number of patrols, Liu Ye, who was a little tired, fell asleep with the little goblin in his arms.

For tired people, the most refreshing thing is probably to be able to sleep until dawn. The Totuhou coalition army was not blessed with a night attack, and throughout the night, the Xixiang camp was relatively quiet, and Liu Ye could sleep well with peace of mind.

However, early the next morning, Luan Jie, the captain of the scout brigade in Xixiang, brought bad news to Liu Ye. After being shaken awake by his personal attendant, Liu Ye gently stacked the little goblin lying in his arms that was still asleep, and then tiptoed out.

"What's wrong?" Outside the tent, Liu Ye asked curiously.

If it wasn't a big deal, Luan Jie wouldn't dare to wake himself up easily. After all, there is a little goblin next to him, and the little goblin has the gas to get up. If you provoke this aunt, there will be absolutely no good fruit to eat. Luan Jie has been following Liu Ye for a long time. Naturally, he is also very aware of the temper of his housewife.

"My lord, it's not good! At midnight this morning, the scouts who were monitoring the clouds came to report. The Hu coalition army gathered in Mengyin has exceeded 8,000 people. By five days at the latest, they will complete the alliance. ”

"And since yesterday, the Hu people coalition army has sent a large number of rangers to practice battlefield cover! Our scouts lurking near Mengyin suffered heavy losses. New scouts can't infiltrate at all. This is the latest and final news. Luan Jie seemed to be very impatient and hurriedly said. However, although he was more anxious, his voice was quiet, and he obviously didn't want to wake up a certain goblin.

"Eight thousand? Sure enough, the April 15th Huimeng released by the Hu people is fake news! Liu Ye touched his bare chin and said.

"That's right! Is there any sign that the Hu people will send troops in advance? Liu Ye then asked.

"Back to the lord, this subordinate doesn't know very well. That's all the scouts reported. Could it be that the Hu people will not wait for the alliance to attack in advance? Luan Jie was surprised.

"It's really possible! It has been several days since our army destroyed the Northern Three. At such a critical juncture, it is impossible for the Tutunu Ministry not to pass the news on to his allies and let them come to their rescue! What's more, since the coalition forces of the various ministries have exceeded 8,000 people, they must be stronger than us in terms of strength. They will definitely not miss this good opportunity to destroy the main force of our army in one fell swoop in the field. Maybe they're already on their way now. Liu Ye analyzed seriously.

"Lord, what should we do?" Luan Meng panicked. However, he didn't notice that his voice was louder this time.

"Don't panic! Didn't the Hu people come yet? ”

"Suppose now the allied forces of the various armies lead their troops south. Then there are two possibilities for their way of marching. The first is to attack the logistics base of our army regardless of the life or death of the Tutunu Division. In order to achieve the goal of cutting off our army's food and grass. The second is to go directly south to rescue the Tutunu department. The allied forces with Tuhou attacked our army on both sides. ”

"In the first way, Benjun thinks it's unlikely. After all, the Hu people are not good at attacking cities. Moreover, the outpost camp is heavily garrisoned by Xu Ji, and Zixiong can also support him. It's not something that can be attacked in a short period of time! If you wait until our army destroys the Tutunu division and return to the division. The allied forces will find themselves in the awkward position of fighting on two fronts. Hu people are not stupid, Benjun thinks that the possibility of the coalition army going south is relatively high! Liu Ye thought quietly for a while, and then carefully analyzed Luan Jie.

"The Lord is wise! A certain will admire! So, what should I do now? With all due respect, with our current strength, we are definitely not the opponent of these 8,000 Hu people in the wild! In order to avoid being attacked by Hu Dog on both sides, we should wait for the time being, move closer to the corner, shorten the grain road, and protect the grain road. Wait until you get the support of the defenders to find a fighter! Luan Jie, who was a little panicked, hurriedly suggested.

"No! Your method is sound, but it is very difficult to implement! Liu Ye shook his head and said.

As a vassal, Luan Jie is not good at questioning Liu Ye in person. can only stare at Liu Ye with some hope and doubts on his face.

Being stared at by a big man with pitiful eyes, Liu Ye was a little embarrassed. So he explained:

"The Hu people are mainly cavalry, and they can send a light cavalry to block our advance first. Then just wait for the main force to arrive! What's more, if the Tutunu Department is not defeated, our army will not have enough food to last until the summer grain is ripe. Liu Ye said helplessly.

"I see! The lord and the monarch are far inferior to the end! What should our army do now? ”

Luan Jie felt a little suddenly realized after hearing this.

"If the allied forces advance at full speed, how many days will it take to get from Mengyin to Tutunu?" Liu Ye suddenly asked.

As the captain of the scout team, Luan Jie's brain is definitely not stupid, and he quickly figured it out.

"There is a mountain road from Mengyin to Tutunu that is very difficult to walk, and there is a lot of gravel. Hu dog in order to protect the hooves of war horses, (during the two Jin Dynasty, horseshoes had not yet been invented.) Definitely going to get off the horse and walk. It's definitely not fast on that stretch of road. The entire journey takes at least four days. ”

"Then we must capture the Tutu Department in three days!" Liu Ye said firmly.

"Can it be done?" Luan Jie was very unconfident. After all, these three days also included the creation of siege engines. In essence, it was only used for a day or so.

"Absolutely! If the Tuhou coalition forces don't take the initiative, it will be a bit difficult for us to break through the Tutu Nu Department in three days. Now that the Tuhou coalition army has been defeated, not only has its strength plummeted, but even its morale has also plummeted. This gives us a chance! Liu Ye said confidently.

Liu Ye's self-confidence seemed to have infected Luan Jie, and Luan Jie immediately knelt down and said, "The lord is wise!" I wonder what my scout team is tasked with? Lord, please command as much as you like. The last general will definitely go to the soup and go to the fire, and he will not give up! ”

"There's something I really need to leave to you scouts. Starting tomorrow, you send out the scouts, regardless of casualties, but be sure to keep an eye on the coalition forces. I reported to Benjun in time the route of the allied forces. Liu Ye ordered solemnly.

"No!"

"Remember! You must control the whereabouts of the allied forces. This is a matter of the safety of our army, and there must be no mistakes! Liu Ye instructed.

"No!"

"As long as there is a living one in the scout team, the last general will not let the dog disappear from our sight!" Luan Jie hugged his fists again.

"Good!"

"If the lord has no other orders, he will retire first!" Luan Jie suddenly became a little flustered, and hurriedly lowered his head and said.

Although Liu Ye felt a little strange, she still agreed.

However, Luan Jie had just taken a few steps when a cold voice came.

"Stop! I woke up my mother early in the morning, and now I want to run! ”

Luan Jie, who was about to leave quickly, immediately stopped. In front of a certain little goblin, he didn't dare to be presumptuous.

"It's a lot of guts! Luan Jie. Dare to wake up early in the morning. Go ahead! How do you want to die! The leprechaun yawned and rubbed his eyes. Apparently she hadn't woken up yet.

"Vice-Commander, no, ma'am. Spare your life! ”

……

Although there was Liu Ye's plea, Luan Jie was still beaten half to death by the little goblin who didn't sleep enough. However, the goblin has a very good grasp of Luan Jie's body. It's quite measured. Luan Jie hurts, but it doesn't affect his work.

After Luan Jie left, Liu Ye immediately convened a military meeting to explain the current critical situation to his senior officials. He also put forward a plan to defeat the Tutunu Ministry within three days. Although the high-level leaders of the Xixiang Army present were a little flustered at first, as high-level leaders, their mental quality was still good, and they quickly calmed down. and asked Liu Ye to fight. This made Liu Ye very satisfied, at least his group of subordinates were not frightened by the huge crisis. At least on the surface.

After the meeting was dismissed, each ministry performed its own duties. They urged the soldiers to prepare for the battle. Under the influence of their respective officers, the fighting spirit of the Saigo soldiers is also growing.

……

Somewhere in Luoyang, a horse-drawn carriage was galloping rapidly. The coachman seemed to feel that the carriage was not fast enough, and from time to time he whipped the poor four horses in front of him. Around the carriage were several horseback guards.

The owner of this carriage, Hao Ran, is Xi Chao, who has disappeared for several months. Compared with the high-spirited Xi guests a few months ago, Xi Chao at this time was particularly embarrassed, as if he had fled. In fact, he was on the run.

"Husband, why are we running away? Wasn't it good to be in the camp before? Ye Zi on the carriage asked curiously.

"The dying man, I don't want to accompany him to the burial!" Xi Chao said disdainfully.

"Didn't we win in Xinhui before?"

"What's the use of that? It's just a school of miscellaneous fish! Shi Hu did not send the main force to come, and most of the Hu people did not send troops. Now that idiot wants to cross the border and plunder Chenliu County. What is Chenliu County? That's the flesh of most of the Hu people's hearts. Isn't this forcing the Hu people to fight him in a decisive battle? Xi Chao said angrily.

"That's it! All right! Don't be offended! It's not worth it to break your body for this kind of popularity! Ye Zi comforted.

"Uh-huh! It's really not worth it! Then Ziqin, let's do something meaningful first! ”

"Color embryo, no hands and feet are allowed!"

"I can't help you!"
