"What's next?" Shi Hu asked Shi Min.

"Continue the siege." Shi Min glanced at Shi Zun and said, "But it's still a feint." ”

"What about the method of reducing the stove that you said before?"

"From today, we can reduce the number of stoves, from lighting fires twice a day to cooking once a day."

"It's easy to say, you have to eat something, right? Is it true that you really have to go hungry to war? Shi Zun was embarrassed again.

"It's easy!" Shi Zhan smiled and said: "The rice noodles are mixed with water and kneaded into cakes, the stones are scalded by the fire, and the cakes are spread on the burning stones, and it won't take long to cook, and one time can be enough for three days!" ”

"Five days won't do it! If you eat the broken bread without meat, how can you eat it? You Han people are vegetarians, but we people eat meat! ”

"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Li Chengjun are willing to eat minced meat raw, we have no objection!" Shi Min sneered: "What's more, it's freezing this day, and there isn't much meat in the camp. ”

Shi Zun was about to open his mouth to say that there was meat, Shi Hu coughed twice, and the frightened Shi Zun immediately shut up. Shi Hu glanced at him and said to everyone: "Just do what Xihuahou said!" There is no better war than in your house! There's no wine or meat here! ”

"The retainers obey!" Shi Zun nodded stupidly.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know when the grain and grass from Youzhou will arrive?"

"Ten days ago, the grain and grass have been transported out of Youzhou, no accident, it will be almost there in five or six days!" Shi Zun frowned slightly and asked, "What?" This prince is doing things, Xihuahou is so worried? ”

Shi Zun didn't even look at him, and said to Shi Hu: "Father, the grain and grass in the camp are only enough for half a month, and some of the remaining grain and grass must be removed, leaving us with little time!" ”

"What then?" Shi Hu asked.

Shi Zhan thought for a while and said, "Let's retreat ten miles one after another!" Let the Xianbei people think that we have retreated, so that they will take the bait as soon as possible. ”

"This ......"

Before Shi Hu finished speaking, a voice came from outside the tent, shouting: "Your Majesty, Yanmen Pass is urgent!" ”

When he heard the three words of Yanmen Pass, everyone's hearts were in their hands, and Shi Hu sat up and shouted, "Come in!" ”

The man lifted the curtain and walked in quickly, handing the newspaper in both hands.

Shi Zun hurriedly took it and handed it to Shi Hu.

Shi Hu couldn't wait to take it apart and take a look, then threw the report on the ground fiercely, and scolded: "Damn Huns!" Kick you when you're down! ”

Shi Zhan knew that something was wrong, so he immediately picked up the report on the ground, Shi Min also came over, and the father and son only looked at it roughly, and then they were snatched away by Shi Zun.

"The Huns really feinted to attack Yanmen Pass, but secretly took Pingcheng, and now they are forcing the modern county!" Shi Hu walked back and forth in the tent anxiously, scolding in his mouth: "Xiongnu Shan Yu! It's really a good idea! This damn bastard! ”

"What is this Shi Yong for! It has long been said that Pingcheng may be the target of the Huns, why shouldn't he take it seriously! ”

"Shi Yong guarded Yanmen Pass, confronted the Huns outside the pass, and the disparity between the enemy and our forces, he was already in a passive situation, lost Pingcheng, and couldn't complain about Shi Yong!" Shi Zhan did not shy away from defending Shi Yong.

"It's useless to say this now! The Huns are now unscrupulous on my territory! This Xianbei man hasn't done it yet! How to be good! Shi Hu looked at everyone and asked.

Shi Zhan's father and son were silent, and Shi Zun couldn't answer. Shi Hu saw that the report was in Shi Zun's hand, so he asked, "You have finished reading the report, do you have any ideas!" ”

"Father, now the Huns are forcing the modern county to march eastward, and it will not take a few days to reach Youzhou, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is very likely that they will rush to the aid of the Xianbei people! In the opinion of Erchen, it is better for us to withdraw to Youzhou immediately! ”

"No! When the battle is fought to this extent, how can you say that you will withdraw! Shi Hu refused, and said: "The current situation, the whole body is affected, and it is necessary to plan and then act!" ”

At this time, Shi Zhan's father and son were already standing in front of the map, not caring about the others at all, but watching the situation from Yanmen Pass to the Lulongsai line with full attention.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, please show me the report in your hand again." Shi Min stretched out his hand to ask Shi Zun for it.

Shi Zun was naturally a little reluctant, but he was helpless that Shi Hu was present, so he reluctantly handed it out.

After receiving the report, Shi Min said to Shi Zhan while reading: "The report said that there were about 30,000 Huns, and after the capture of Pingcheng, they marched eastward, burning and looting all the way. Shi Yong has led his headquarters to pursue, and the remaining soldiers and horses are still stationed at Yanmen Pass to guard against the Huns. ”

"Did the Xiongnu Shan Yu come?" Shi Zhan asked without replying.

"The newspaper said that the Xiongnu Shan Yu was still outside the Yanmen Pass."

Shi Zhan nodded slightly, contemplating at the map.

"Father, the Xiongnu only have 30,000 people, and they should not have any plans to continue eastward." Shi Min said.

Shi Zhan thought for a while and said to Shi Hu: "Father, according to the opinion of the sons, the Huns only broke through the defense line of Pingcheng with 30,000 people, and they also burned and looted along the way, so they should not continue to go deeper. Their purpose should only be to disrupt our deployment and make us unable to do both. ”

"How so?" Shi Hu stepped forward and asked as he looked at the map.

"Father, you see, the Huns are now roughly in this position, and there is Daijun to the east, if the Huns want to form a flank attack with the Xianbei people, I'm afraid it's not realistic! The north of Youzhou is Shanggu, the south is Fanyang, separated by more than half a day's distance, once the Huns dare to fight Youzhou's idea, the garrisons of these two places have enough time to send troops to intercept at the same time, not to mention, Shi Yong's men and horses are still chasing them, so that the 30,000 Huns will become the turtle in the urn. Such a stupid way of playing is not the style of the Huns! Shi Zhan said, pointed to the location of Yanmen Pass, and said: "The most important point is that the Huns are still outside Yanmen Pass, if he really plans to come straight to Liaodong, then he must personally bring troops over." ”

"How can you be so sure? Why? Shi Hu asked.

"With Erchen's understanding of him!" Shi Zhan said firmly: "The Huns are bent on recovering the exploits of their ancestors, and they will lead the troops to charge in every battle, and they will be brave and brave, if he really wants to fight with his father, there is absolutely no reason not to come in person!" ”

"Then I don't understand! What is the intention of the Huns to delay their true character? Shi Hu said.

Shi Zhan sighed and said, "Erchen didn't understand what the Huns were planning to do!" ”

Shi Min on the side said: "Your Majesty, father, I have a conjecture......

"What conjecture?" Shi Zhan and Shi Hu asked almost in unison.

"The main force of the Xiongnu Shan Yu is not moving, he must be waiting for some opportunity, otherwise there is no need for him to mobilize everyone to go south! And it's in such a season. ”

"Timing?" Shi Hu frowned slightly.

"On the surface, the Huns and the Xianbei people are in cahoots and want to seize the Central Plains together, but in fact, the Murong clan and the Huns have their own ghosts. Now the Xianbei people are already difficult to ride tigers, and their troops have lost a lot. The Huns wanted to use these 30,000 horses, plus the Xianbei people here, to disrupt all our deployments, so that he could fish in troubled waters! When the time comes, the Xianbei people and us will both lose, and the Huns will reap the benefits of the fishermen! Shi Min said, saluted Shi Hu and said, "Your Majesty is right just now! The current situation is a matter of affecting the whole body. If we retreat now, the Xianbei people will not take the opportunity to sneak attack and pursue, and if we turn back and counterattack, they can withdraw to Lulongse at any time, and we still have hundreds of miles to retreat to safety. In this way, all our actions will be reactive. ”
