Suddenly hearing the news, Xiao Ruxun and Li Rusong both felt strange and couldn't believe it.

Why did the northern captives, who were still like a tiger descending the mountain before, suddenly wither?

Why did the Shanxi Ming Army, who was still like a sick cat before, suddenly be so fierce?

Xiao Ruxun, who adheres to the belief that there must be a demon when things go wrong, firmly believes that this matter is not simple, so he began to ask for some details.

"How did you win your first battle?"

This question made Wei Zhen happy, because the Ming Dynasty was pressed and fought by the Beilu for so long, and the first victory was fought by him, it was he who won the battle, and it was he who defeated the invincible Beiyu, and then set off this great counterattack like a bamboo, which punctured the myth of the invincibility of the Beiyu in one fell swoop.

At that time, the last general led 10,000 troops to guard Yangqu City, which was originally ordered by Governor Wang to implement the tactics of fortifying the wall and clearing the wilderness, and did his best to weaken the northern captives, in order to gather the main force of soldiers and horses in Shanxi and Yulin towns outside Taiyuan City to annihilate the northern captives who were attacking southward.

The last general defended the city during the day and fought fiercely with the northern captives, but did not let the northern captives succeed, but since the tactics of the fortified wall and clearing the wilderness have been successful, and Yangqu has become an empty city, there is no need to continue to defend it, so the last general decided to give up Yangqu and withdraw to Taiyuan to prepare for a decisive battle.

But before that, the last general was unwilling, and didn't want to make the northern captives so happy, so he thought about a night attack before retreating, and asked the northern captives to suffer a little before leaving, and the last general led the team to attack at night, but he didn't expect the last general to successfully attack at night, defeating the northern captives in one fell swoop, beheading more than 200, and the northern captives retreated.

The last general saw that the opportunity could not be let go, so he chased all the way, chased and killed under the Shiling Pass, fought fiercely with the Beilu for a day, and waited for reinforcements, with the support of the reinforcements, recovered the Shiling Pass in one fell swoop, and the Beiyu continued to flee north, after which the Beiyu fled all the way, the last general pursued all the way, chased here, a total of 1,000 and 31, and annihilated more than 4,000 Beiyu. ”

This kind of record is really a bit dazzling, even Li Rusong looked at Wei Zhen with surprised eyes, as if he was looking at something incredible, Wei Zhen enjoyed this kind of look very much.

Xiao Ruxun frowned, thinking carefully, always feeling that something was not quite right.

"Don't you wonder if the north captives are going south, like a fierce tiger, galloping all the way, and suddenly defeated?"

Wei Zhen replied: "I really wondered, after the night attack, the last general searched the camp of the northern captives, and now there are a large number of empty grain bags, and the northern captives are actually short of food, and they are hungry and fighting with us, we have always defended the weakness of the northern captives, once we take the initiative to attack the northern captives, we will not be able to hold on, and we will be defeated all the way to this point!" ”

"Lack of food?"

Xiao Ruxun looked at Li Rusong suspiciously, and Li Rusong also looked at Xiao Ruxun suspiciously.

"Is there really a shortage of food in the north?"

"Naturally, a large number of empty grain bags can testify, and Governor Wang also ordered someone to open the abdominal cavity of the Beiyu, and now there is only a little residue in the abdominal cavity of the Beiyu, so it is determined that the Beiyu has been short of food for a long time, so he ordered the whole army to press, and now, Governor Wang has led his troops to move to Xinzhou to take charge of the overall situation."

Wei Zhen explained proudly.

"Xinzhou? And what about Taiyuan? ”

Xiao Ruxun hurriedly asked.

"Taiyuan? Taiyuan left 20,000 troops to garrison, after all, it is the Shanxi administrative office, it is not convenient to maintain the wartime curfew for a long time, and since the northern captives have been defeated, they are now preparing for post-war disaster relief, Governor Wang moved to Xinzhou, and is also bringing the refugees who fled to Taiyuan back to Xinzhou and other places for resettlement. ”

The ominous premonition in Xiao Ruxun's heart became more and more serious.

"How are you currently distributing the soldiers and horses in Shanxi?"

"The last general doesn't know very much, about one army went to Yanmen Pass, and another army went to Pingxing Pass, and the rest are basically resettlement refugees near Xinzhou, is there anything wrong with the Admiral?"

Wei Zhen looked at Xiao Ruxun with some dissatisfaction, feeling that this famous general seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the situation of the big victory.

Could it be because you didn't win the battle and the battle was over?

Li Rusong also had some doubts in his heart, and leaned over to Xiao Ruxun's side and whispered: "Admiral, the last general always feels that something is wrong, why did this northern captives suddenly collapse, and they were defeated by 10,000 soldiers, and they were defeated all the way to this point, if the main force can be understood, how can a partial division suddenly be so able to fight?" And there is a shortage of food in the north? This matter ......"

Li Rusong didn't say anything further, but the meaning was very clear.

Will the northern captives, who have received food subsidies from large Jin merchants, also lack food? What are those big Jin businessmen going to do? Could it be that the purpose of recruiting the northern captives and letting them be defeated is to create a large number of displaced people so that they can take the opportunity to sell grain and enclose land at higher prices?

That's too shady, isn't it? Are they so short of money? Earn this kind of silver and not be afraid of cutting off your children and grandchildren?

Xiao Ruxun thought carefully for a while, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration and noticed that something was wrong.

"General Wei, you just said that you pursued the northern captives all the way from Yangqu to this point, and destroyed more than 4,000 enemies, right?"

Wei Zhen nodded: "Exactly." ”

"So this northern captives that were surrounded and annihilated by General Li's soldiers are the ones you have been pursuing?"

"Exactly."

"There are only more than 5,000 northern captives killed by General Li soldiers, plus more than 10,000 killed by you all the way, isn't there a total of more than 40,000 soldiers and horses in the northern captives who went south to Taiyuan? How come there are only ten thousand? And thirty thousand? ”

Xiao Ruxun asked like this, and it was Wei Zhen's turn to be puzzled.

"Why did the Admiral say that? After the Beiyu broke through the Pingxing Pass, they divided 10,000 troops to the south and came to Taiyuan, it seemed that the attack was actually contained, and the main force had already gone to the Bauhinia Pass, and was attacking the Bauhinia Pass! How could the Admiral not know that the war was so urgent? Admiral, is Bauhinia Pass good? You guys...... Where did it come from? ”

Xiao Ruxun was stunned for a moment, and Li Rusong was also dumbfounded.

The two looked at each other, and each realized something.

Broken!

Xiao Ruxun clenched the war knife in his hand tightly.

"Bendu is from Bauhinia Pass! There are only more than 5,000 northern captives attacking the city at Bauhinia Pass! The Datong soldiers who were coerced by them confessed that only four days after the 40,000 troops of the Northern Captives attacked the Bauhinia Pass, they quietly withdrew the main force of 35,000 men and horses at night! When I waited for the march to Lingqiu, I heard that the local refugees confessed, and when the group of Beiqiu who quietly withdrew marched to Lingqiu, they turned to the south! ”

Wei Zhen was also dumbfounded.

Li Rusong rushed forward and grabbed Wei Zhen's collar.

"What the hell is going on?! Why are there only 10,000 captives here? Where are the remaining 35,000 captives? Where? ”

Wei Zhen couldn't say a word, and Xiao Ruxun hurriedly stepped forward to stop Li Rusong.

"General Li, don't worry, you can't ask him anything, the most terrible thing now is that even Governor Wang thinks that the northern captives have been defeated and moves the battle line forward, in case the northern captives are deliberately hiding, and there are other plans, once they suddenly attack, no matter where they attack, our army will be unprepared, that is the most dangerous!"
