Murong Bao waved the command flag in his hand, and the Houyan soldiers and horses came over like a sea of mountains.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Tuoba immediately turned his horse's head and fled westward.

Murong Bao couldn't help but be happy when he saw this, and thought to himself: Phew! I thought you were a hero, but I didn't expect you to be a mallet.

I was ashamed to say it just now, but how did it become a cowardly bag in a blink of an eye? I see that you have no other skills besides blowing?

Thinking of this, Murong Bao laughed wildly, and led the soldiers to chase after him.

Since the elite cavalry of Murong Nongbu, the king of Liaoxi, had not yet converged with the army, most of the Yan troops from Hebei were infantry.

As a result, only a moment later, he was thrown out of the way by the Wei army.

Tuoba Jue galloped wildly while looking back at Yan Jun, a smile oozing from his face.

I have to say that Tuoba Jue was really a little careless this time, and underestimated Murong Bao.

As the saying goes: a wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and a fool will also gain a thousand thoughts.

Just as the blind cat also touched the dead mouse sometimes, the waste Murong Bao really calculated Tuoba Jue.

I saw that Tuoba Jue had just turned a mountain beam with his people, but he heard a shout on both sides, as if the sky was falling apart.

Murong Lin, the king of Zhao, and Murong Long, the king of Gaoyang, each led two thousand cavalry to kill.

Tuoba Jue was taken aback, completely unaware that he had been ambushed by the Yan army, so he had to rush to meet the battle.

But I saw that there was dust not far away, and I didn't know how many Yan troops were rushing over.

Tuoba Jue trembled, couldn't think about it, and shouted: "Wei soldiers, kill me!" ”

Wielding his sword, he was the first to charge into the enemy line.

In order to protect the safety of the King of Wei, the soldiers of the Wei army fought bravely to kill the enemy, and fell in a pool of blood one by one.

There are fewer and fewer people around Tuoba Jue, but there are more and more people surrounding the Yan army.

Although Tuoba Jue was still fighting in a trapped beast, the more he fought, the more brave he became, the long knife in his hand flashed coldly, flying up and down, killing and injuring countless Yan troops.

However, the Yan soldiers were many powerful, and they were tempted by awards, and everyone rushed to be the first, regardless of life and death, and went forward one after another.

The next batch fell, and then another group rushed up, shouting: "Capture Tuoba Jue alive, capture Tuoba Jue alive......"

The exhausted Tuoba Jue saw that he was about to be bound, and at this moment, he suddenly heard the neighing of war horses from the periphery.

It turned out that Zhang Yan was worried that Tuoba Jue would lose, so he specially sent cavalry to respond, and he arrived in time.

King Zhao Murong Lin rolled his eyes, pretended to be overwhelmed, and took the lead in withdrawing with his men and horses.

Although Murong Long was unwilling, when he saw the Wei army's troops arriving, he didn't dare to fight, so he had to withdraw his troops.

Finally, there was no danger, which made Tuoba Jue break out in a cold sweat.

Considering that the Houyan army could arrive at any time, Tuoba Jue couldn't take a breath and led the Wei army to retreat quickly.

When passing through Daihai, because it is the height of summer, the lake is rippling with clear water, the reeds are luxuriant, and the flowers are everywhere.

Seeing such a beautiful scenery, Tuoba Jue couldn't help but take a long breath and muttered: "It's a pity that such a beautiful scenery is so beautiful that there is no time for the widow to appreciate it, and I will definitely come to see it again next time I have the opportunity." ”

A few days later, Tuoba Jue led the Wei army back to Shengle smoothly, and finally put Zhang Yan and the others at ease.

As the Yan army's advance was gradually approaching, Tuoba Jue only took a short rest and evacuated Shengle with the last group of people.

Before leaving, he glanced at Shengle King City and secretly swore, "The widow will come back." ”

……

In a small battle that day, because he failed to capture Tuoba Jue, Murong Bao was so angry that he immediately ordered the army to march towards Shengle.

Since the Wei personnel had fled far away to the south of the country, the Yan army did not encounter any resistance on the way and successfully arrived at Shenhe.

Shenhe is also known as the crane and is less than 40 miles southwest of Daihai.

In the southeast of Shaanxi, Wei Zhishenhe County, there is the ancient city of Hanwoyang in the west of the county, and there is the ancient city of Duwei in the west of Hanyanmen County in the north of the county ten miles.

During the two Han Dynasty, Shenhe was an important town in the north, and went westward out of Yanmen County of the Han Dynasty, that is, to the hometown of Yunzhong County in Hetao.

Murong Bao led his army to the northwest through Shenhe and reached the foot of Shengle City.

Although along the way, the army has won successive battles, it still makes many Xianbei people vigilant.

Because, except for the capture of some old, weak, sick and disabled people along the way, there were basically no encounters with a large number of Tuoba people, and the elite of the Wei army had long disappeared.

Faced with such a strange situation, Murong Lin, Murong Long, Murong De, Chao Chong, Jia Yi and most of the Yan army's civil and military forces realized that the situation was wrong.

However, the crown prince Murong Bao insisted that the Wei army had been frightened and had no worries, and continued to advance towards Shengle.

Soon the Yan army arrived at Shengle, but at this time Shengle had become an empty city, not only did there not have a grain of grain in the city, but even the well was blocked by the Wei army.

Faced with an empty city, Murong Bao realized that something was wrong.

The 70,000 Yan army all the way ate horses and chewed a lot of supplies, and he originally wanted to take Shengle to replenish the supplies, but now it is all in vain.

Entering the city, Murong Bao was in the palace of the former King of Wei, and all the generals and princes of the clan gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Strategist Jia Yi said worriedly: "Your Highness, our army has occupied Shengle, but we have never met the main force of Suolu. ”

"Since the army marched north from Pingcheng, the number of captives captured before and after is less than 10,000 people, and most of them are still old, weak, sick and disabled."

"Something is wrong!"

Another strategist, Chao Chong, also echoed: "Your Highness, there is no trace of the captives at the moment, and the plan of clearing the wilderness has been implemented, which makes it difficult for our army to obtain material replenishment from the enemy country. ”

"Anyway, the goal of occupying Shengle has been achieved, so it is better to return to the dynasty with this class, so as not to fall into the enemy's tricks deep into the hinterland."

"Withdrawal? No, no, no, how can you withdraw your troops if you haven't caught Tuoba yet? ”

Murong Bao resolutely disagreed with the withdrawal of the army, and finally threw Tuoba Jue to the ground, with no way to enter the ground, and it was time to capture him to avenge the shame of Yishui's fiasco, how could he easily withdraw the army?

"Yes...... But if the army is not withdrawn, once the grain and grass run out, there will be a worry that the whole army will be wiped out. ”

"Hmm......" Murong Bao hesitated, looked at Murong De and the others and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Murong De was exquisite, and he could see that the prince didn't want to be a teacher, so he thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, this time, I, Dayan, have mobilized the strength of the whole country to fight against Wei, aiming to capture and kill Tuoba Jue and destroy the Wei State. ”

"If you give up halfway, I am afraid that there will be endless disasters."

"However, what Mr. Jia and Mr. Chao said is not unreasonable, the army should not go too deep into the hinterland of Wei."

"It doesn't work, it doesn't work either! That...... So what should Uncle Wang think? ”

"The minister thought that he should find the main force of the Wei army as soon as possible, and then the army rushed forward and fought to the death."

"The desert is boundless, how difficult is it to find the main force of the Wei army?"

"Your Highness, King Zhao has gone deep into the grassland many times and is very familiar with the surrounding geography, so I think he may have any opinions."

Hearing this, Murong Bao's eyes lit up, and then he remembered Murong Linlai.

Before the war, the reason why Murong Chui knew that King Zhao and the crown prince were not on good terms, but still sent him, was because Murong Lin was familiar with the grassland.

"King Zhao, in previous years, you cooperated with Tuoba Jue to kill the enemy, and you must know his temperament and habits very well. In your opinion, where is the main army hidden? ”

Looking at the prince who rarely spoke to him in a gentle tone, Murong Lin secretly sneered in his heart.

He said very respectfully: "Back to the prince, with the understanding of the ministers, Tuoba Jue must have withdrawn the main force of the army to the north of Yinshan." ”

"Yinshan North?" Murong Bao's brows furrowed when he heard this.

"It seems that Tuoba Jue wants to rely on Yinshan Mountain to stop our army from going north, and then wait for our army to run out of food and grass, and then find an opportunity to fight with me."

"What the prince said is very true, instead of risking an expedition, it is better to retreat back to Youzhou for the time being."

"As long as there is Daidi and Youzhou in hand, Tuoba Jue can't set off any storms at all."

Seeing that the people below persuaded him to withdraw the army again, Murong Bao waved his hand quite unhappily and said, "Don't be busy withdrawing the army first, since you are here, you can't go back empty-handed." ”

"Although the Wei State has carried out the practice of clearing the wilderness, after all, it has gone in a hurry, and there must be a lot of things left in the wilderness."

"Pass the order of the orphan general, let the various departments take turns to go out to patrol around, and grab all the livestock and crops they encounter."

"In addition, send people to destroy the farmland and water conservancy of the Wei people, and I want to see if Tuoba Jue really wants to be a shrinking turtle."

Looking at the prince who was like a child, Jia Yi, Chao Chong and others all shook their heads secretly, how could the prince be able to rule the Yan Kingdom in the future.

As for Murong De, Murong Long and others, they are also blindly optimistic, and although King Zhao is aware of the initial crisis, he has a ghost in his heart.
