Shi Hu, under the escort of his descendants, also went to Youzhou day and night, and performed very well along the way.

"I came out this time, I didn't bring Lu An, it seems that you are tired." Shi Hu looked at Shi Zun, who was pouring him wine, and said.

"It is appropriate to honor your father, how can you be affected?" Shi Zun replied with a smile.

"At the current pace of the march, there are still three days to reach Youzhou. Is there any news from Youzhou today? Shi Hu asked.

Shi Zun hurriedly reassured the wine jug, took out a report from his arms, and said: "Erchen almost forgot, this is just here, and it has not been opened yet, please take a look at it!" ”

Seeing Shi Zun's respectful appearance, Shi Hu was quite satisfied, took the report handed over by Shi Zun, was about to open it, and threw it to Shi Zun, saying: "I am a little dazzled, you read it to me!" ”

"Yes!" Shi Zun hurriedly responded.

Shi Zun opened the newspaper, first browsed it roughly, and then reported to Shi Huyu: "Father, this newspaper says that the Xianbei people have been infested by a small group of people for many days, but they have been a little abnormal in the past few days, and there has been no movement for three consecutive days. Youzhou Thorn Shi was worried that the Xianbei people had any conspiracy, so he had gathered men and horses to prevent the Xianbei people from attacking. ”

"This Youzhou Thorn History is also incompetent! After confronting the Xianbei people for so long, he has not built an inch, he will only cringe, what's the use of keeping it? Chopped! Shi Hu said casually.

Shi Zun was stunned: "Chop ...... Chopped? ”

Shi Hu frowned slightly and asked, "Frowning?" What do you want him to do with what he eats dry rice? ”

"This Youzhou Thorn History is a relative of You Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, will it be ...... if you do this?"

"I'm the king of a country, and I still need a little Shangshu from him to dictate to killing a waste? Bastard thing! Shi Hu scolded.

Shi Zun hurriedly knelt down and said: "The son lost his words, please forgive my father!" ”

"You will be the emperor in the future, don't be so short-sighted! How can the generals who guard the border pass use such rats? Shi Hu glared at Shi Zun and said: "If you want to win the battle, you must establish military prestige, this dog has no way to govern the army, I will take him as a sacrifice flag!" ”

Shi Zun lowered his head and did not squeak.

"Pass on my oracle, take down the history of Youzhou Thorn, and wait for me to fall!" Shi Hu commanded.

"The retainers obey the ......"

As soon as the words fell, the voice of Shi Hu's guards came from outside the tent: "Your Majesty, Xihua Hou sent someone to report that the army has reached the vicinity of Chicheng, and will listen to His Majesty's orders at any time!" ”

"Akagi? So fast? Shi Hu was a little surprised, and quickly got up to look at the map behind him, his brows furrowed, and said, "It seems that the speed of my march is slow!" ”

Shi Zun still didn't speak.

"Send someone to deliver a message to the Marquis of Xihua, saying that I already know, let him listen to my will!" Shi Hu instructed the guards outside the tent.

"Command!"

Seeing that Shi Zun was still standing in place, Shi Hu asked, "What are you doing in a daze?" Send someone to Youzhou to get people! ”

"The retainers obey." Shi Zun replied stupidly and withdrew.

In the early winter, Yandi is already a land of ice and snow, and in the area of Yuyang Youzhou, the sky is full of wind and snow, and the cold north wind blows, and the frozen people shiver.

"Second brother, it's getting colder and colder, how can the battle be fought?"

"What are you anxious about? We feel cold, and the people of the Qiang people are even colder! If it takes a few more days, the wind and snow will destroy their fighting spirit and reduce their morale. ”

"According to the news sent by Tanma, Shi Hu really arrived in Youzhou, and now they are deploying troops and seem to be preparing to fight us."

Murong Jun nodded and asked, "What you were asked to prepare, how are you preparing?" ”

"It's all set."

"Depending on the weather, this snow will definitely stop tonight! Shi Hu doesn't have to worry about sitting in person, this old thing has no ability, what I'm really worried about is Shi Zhan's father and son. ”

"It's really strange, why didn't the father and son show up this time? Do you think that our Xianbei people are not a threat, and they all went to Yanmen Pass to prevent the Huns? Murong Ke was also a little puzzled.

"Impossible! Even if they were afraid of the threat of the Huns, only one of the father and son would go at most, but so far, there has been no movement of these two people. ”

"Then they must have some kind of conspiracy!"

Murong Jun thought for a while, and then instructed outside the tent: "Someone! ”

"In!"

"Send a scout horse to the direction of Miyun Mountain to investigate!"

"Yes!"

"Miyun Mountain? What to do there? Murong Ke was a little puzzled.

"Shi Zhan's father and son are good at surprise soldiers, they have not revealed their whereabouts so far, as you said, there must be some conspiracy! I thought about it, and now there is only one direction that can threaten us, and that is here! Murong Jun said, pointing to the location marked on the map as Miyun Mountain.

"Second brother, do you think Shi Zhan's father and son will sneak attack from here?"

Murong Jun nodded and said, "It's not that there is no such possibility, from Miyun Mountain to the south, it will only take half a day at most to reach Yuyang, which is where we are now." Although we are waiting for work, the situation will not be too good for us when we are under the enemy! It's time to take precautions! ”

"If you come from the direction of Miyun Mountain, where did their men and horses come from? Even if it's a sneak attack, it can't be a small group of people, if there are not 10,000, there are 8,000, so many people, it makes no sense that we haven't noticed it at all! ”

"It definitely won't come out of Yanmen!" Murong Jun said while looking at the map: "The Huns have 100,000 horses and horses outside the Yanmen Pass, if there are thousands of people and horses coming out of the Yanmen Pass, they can't find it, and if they do, they will definitely not let it go." If it is a man from the Central Plains, if you want to sneak attack from behind us and not be discovered by the Huns, there is only one way to go, that is, to go north from Guangning, detour to Chicheng, and then enter Miyun Mountain from Chicheng, waiting for the opportunity to move! ”

"Then if Shi Zhan and Shi Min really came from Miyun Mountain, what should we do?"

"The lesser of two evils, although there are many defenders in Youzhou, there is no vanguard general who can charge into battle, Shi Zun's Li Cheng army is not enough in front of us, the so-called 100,000 army, not to be afraid. In this case, it is better for us to strike first and take down Shihu, so that we can have no worries. ”

Murong Ke frowned slightly and said, "Second brother, I thought this was inappropriate. ”

"What's wrong?" Murong Jun asked.

"Second brother, you see, Yuyang is in the middle of Youzhou and Miyun Mountain, at this time our grain and grass is not much, it all depends on the grain and grass delivered by Changli and the two-legged sheep in the camp, if Shi Zhan's father and son go south from Miyun Mountain, they can directly cut off our back road, and if we can't take Youzhou quickly, then we will fall into a dilemma."

Murong Jun listened to Murong Ke's words, couldn't help sighing, and said silently: "What you said makes sense, I was almost negligent for my brother!" ”

"Second brother, the top priority is to first determine whether Shi Zhan's father and son pose a threat to us, and then it's not too late to make a decision."

Murong Jun nodded: "You kid is very thoughtful this time!" That's it! Anyway, now that the wind and snow are too strong, and their garrison is on the other side of the river, if we want to raid, it will be difficult to succeed, so it doesn't hurt to wait a day or two longer! ”

"Good!"

"However, for the sake of prudence, send someone to guard the pontoon bridge on the hill, and if the situation is not right, we can immediately retreat to the other side of the river! If the people and horses of Youzhou want to fight, they have to cross the river first! ”

"Second brother thinks well!"

"In any case, if I don't find out the movements of Shi Zhan's father and son, I am always unsteady in my heart, at most in half a month, the surface of the Qiushui River will be completely frozen, and the pontoon bridge will have no effect at that time! Cavalry infantry can come directly from the river. ”

"Second brother, when will the Huns start? It's been a few days, and the Huns haven't replied yet! ”

"Wait! Maybe it's snowing these days, and the road is not easy to walk. ”

Murong Ke sighed helplessly and said, "That's the only way!" Then I'll arrange it first! ”

"Go ahead!"
