Chapter 697: Old treacherous and cunning

Changyi, where Yao Xiang is stationed, is only more than 100 miles away from Rencheng garrisoned by Pu Hong, so Yao Xiang is very afraid that the 50,000 elite army under Pu Hong will be unfavorable to him, so he has already made careful preparations and sent scouts to explore near Rencheng, which is naturally indispensable, that is to say, as long as the army under Pu Hong has an abnormal movement, Yao Xiang will get the news as soon as possible, so as to make comprehensive preparations for war.

At this moment, according to the scout's report, there was no abnormality at all in the armies under Pu Hong's command, which made Yao Xiang really relieved, but once he led the army to leave Changyi, whether Pu Hong would suddenly make any changes, Yao Xiang was not sure, and for this reason, he was still a little worried.

"Fifth brother, Wei Tong and Le Hong have already made a move, what are we waiting for?" Seeing Yao Xiang's hesitation, Yao Chang said loudly.

Yao Xiang glanced up at Yao Chang, and said: "When my father was dying, he told me and other brothers to be loyal to the Great Jin Dynasty, but now we want to seize the jade seal of the country, I am really a little uneasy!" ”

"Fifth brother, when my father was alive, he didn't understand the situation of the Great Jin Dynasty, so he made such a decision, and now, the Great Jin Dynasty is controlled by the scholars, and Yin Hao regards us as a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, and he is eager to get rid of it quickly, so why should we be loyal to the Great Jin, if my father is alive and learns of this situation, he will definitely agree with us to do this." Yao Chang said loudly.

Hearing this, Yao Xiang nodded, and said softly: "You are right, since the Great Jin Imperial Court is unkind to us, then we don't have to be loyal to the Great Jin Imperial Court, but." Pu Hong is stationed in Rencheng, and the 50,000 elite troops under his command are very powerful, if after our army leaves Changyi, after Pu Hong leads the army to sneak attack our army, the consequences will be extremely severe, and the strong enemy is behind, we have to guard against it! ”

Hearing this, Yao Chang thought for a moment, hugged his fists and said, "Fifth brother don't worry, compared to the jade seal of the country." Changyi City is nothing at all. Besides, after we get the jade seal of the country, it is impossible to gain a foothold in Changyi City, so it is better to give it to Pu Hong. If it is to prevent Pu Hong from sneaking up on the main force of our army. Just send scouts. It is enough to monitor the movements of the various armies in Puhong from time to time, and there is no need to worry too much. ”

"Yes! Just keep a close eye on Puhong's every move, maybe I'm too worried. Yao Xiang said lightly.

"Fifth brother. Wei Tong and Le Hong have been off for half a day, if our army is still indifferent, I am afraid that this jade seal of the country will be robbed by others, so immediately order to march! Yao Chang said loudly.

Yao Xiang nodded, and said softly: "Let the whole army prepare secretly, tonight, the whole army will set off immediately, take the southern path, and go to the direction of Chenliu County, I believe that Wei Tong and Le Hong will definitely start near Chenliu County." ”

"Yes, Fifth Brother, I'll go and let the soldiers prepare immediately." Yao Chang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly answered loudly, and then turned around and went to prepare.

After midnight, in the Yao Xiang camp in Changyi City, the 30,000 elite soldiers and horses of the Yao Xiang army began to assemble secretly, and waited for Yao Xiang's order, as long as Yao Xiang gave an order, they could immediately set off and go to the direction of Chenliu County.

"Fifth brother, the 30,000 elites of the whole army have been assembled, and they can set off immediately." After the army was assembled, Yao Chang walked into the big tent of the Chinese army and said loudly.

Hearing this, Yao Xiang nodded, strode out of the Chinese army's tent, and immediately stepped on his war horse, and ordered loudly: "Soldiers, go." After saying that, he rode his horse to the path south of the city, preparing to quietly leave Changyi City, so as not to attract the attention of outsiders.

Under the leadership of Yao Xiang, the elite army of 30,000 Qiang tribes rushed towards Chenliu County along the path leading to Chenliu County.

Yao Xiang chose to quietly send troops in the middle of the night, naturally hiding from the eyes of some people, but not from everyone's eyes, just when Yao Xiang led the main army to leave the Changyi camp, the Puhong army scouts who were ambushed around the Changyi camp had already learned this important information.

These scouts of Pu Hong's army naturally did not dare to delay, and sent the news to Rencheng as quickly as possible overnight, and handed it over to the pro-soldier captain beside Pu Hong.

After getting this important news, the captain of the army next to Pu Hong planned to report to Pu Hong immediately, but at this time Pu Hong was resting, and it was only an hour before dawn, so he withheld this important news and planned to report to Pu Hong after dawn.

An hour passed quickly, and after dawn, Pu Hong got up and just walked out of the back tent, and the captain of the pro-soldier entered the tent and reported: "General Qiyu, there is an important military situation in the direction of Changyi City, please take a look." After speaking, he handed the letter in his hand to Pu Hong's hand.

Pu Hong took the letter, glanced at it quickly, and then grinned: "The young man really couldn't hold his breath, and he left so quickly, haha!" After saying that, he laughed happily.

"Father, who has left?" Just as Pu Hong was laughing, the third son Pu Jian and the fourth son Pu Xiong walked into the Chinese army's tent.

"Oh, you guys came just in time, Yao Xiang, this kid finally has a move." Pu Hong said softly, and handed the letter in his hand to his two sons.

Pu Jian took the letter first, took a careful look at it, and then hugged his fists and said: "Father, Yao Xiang has finally made a move, then our army should also act!" Otherwise, let Yao Xiang take the lead. ”

Pu Hong shook his head with a smile and reprimanded softly: "You are the same as that Yao Xiang, you can't hold your breath!" Yesterday evening, the scouts sent the news that Wei Tong and Le Hong led the main army of 20,000 to leave Dingtao City at noon and run in the direction of Chenliu County, presumably in order to snatch the jade seal of the country. ”

Pu Jian didn't understand a little, and asked with his fists clenched: "Father, since Yao Xiang wants Huang Que behind, why can't our army be the eagle behind Huang Que and catch Yao Xiang off guard?" ”

Pu Hong smiled and said: "You're right, we do want to be the eagle behind the yellow bird, but Yao Xiang is not an ordinary mediocre general, since our army can plant scouts outside Yao Xiang's camp, why wouldn't Yao Xiang plant eyeliner under the nose of our army?" If our army hastily transfers troops, Yao Xiang will definitely arouse alarm and thus sabotage our plan. ”

When Pu Jian and Pu Xiong heard this, they immediately understood their father's hard work, but if they kept moving, the jade seal of the country was very likely to be captured by Yao Xiang, and once Yao Xiang won the jade seal of the country and escaped, the situation would be bad.

"When is my father going to go into the army?" Pu Xiong asked softly.

Pu Hong thought for a moment and said softly: "Don't worry, you have to calm down and take a look at the situation first." ”

"Isn't my father worried that after Yao Xiang won the jade seal of the country, he would immediately flee away?" Pu Jian finally couldn't help but express the worry in his heart.

Pu Hong opened his mouth and smiled, and said softly: "You don't have to worry, everything is under control, Yao Xiang can't escape from the palm of his father's hand." ”

Seeing that his father was already confident, Pu Jian and Pu Xiong were suddenly relieved.

In the direction of Yecheng, after several days of marching, Hua'an and his 70,000 troops finally arrived outside the west gate of Yecheng and immediately began to set up camps.

Zhuge Xiong, who entered Yecheng one step earlier, heard that Hua'an led the main army to Yecheng, and hurriedly led some generals to run out of the west gate of Yecheng to welcome Hua'an's arrival.

In the Jin army camp outside the West Gate, Hua An and a group of generals had just dismounted and were about to enter the camp tent to rest, when Zhuge Xiong rode his horse and galloped in.

"General, you're finally here." Zhuge Xiong said and turned over and dismounted, and walked in front of Hua An.

Hua An looked up and saw Zhuge Xiong coming, so he hurriedly asked, "How is it, is it still smooth?" What's the situation inside Yecheng? ”

"General Qiyu, our army is a qiēshun lì, and the situation in Yecheng is quite stable." Zhuge Xiong replied truthfully.

Hua An looked in the direction of due north and asked softly, "Is there any news from the north, there is any change in the cavalry of the Yan Army." ”

"General, the 130,000 main cavalry of the Yan army broke through Xiangguo City the day before yesterday and completely annihilated the 5,000 defenders of the Wei army. Zhuge Xiong said.

When Hua An heard this, he was surprised, the cavalry of the Yan army was menacing, and the troops were extremely sufficient, why did they suddenly stop going south, was it a strategic adjustment, was preparing for a larger-scale attack, or was it afraid of the main army under his command, he was afraid, and from then on, he gave up the attempt to continue south.

"Big brother, could it be because our army suddenly reinforced Yecheng, the Yan army was afraid, so they didn't dare to continue south." Wang San guessed softly.

"If the Yan army is afraid, won't our army run in vain." Chen Poyu suddenly looked a little disappointed.

"General, if the Yan army has been unwilling to go south, our army can go north to attack Xiangguo." Chen Zhanhu said loudly.

When Hua An heard this, he shook his head and said: "You don't want to underestimate the enemy, the monarchs and ministers of the Yan Kingdom, Ben Jiang met them more than ten years ago, and he also knows a little about their personalities, as far as Ben Jiang knows, they are not the kind of mediocre people who are timid and afraid of things!" At this time, if you suddenly stand still, there must be an ulterior conspiracy. After speaking, he looked at Wang San.

Wang San nodded and said softly: "What the eldest brother said is that during the trip to Liaodong more than ten years ago, we did see the strength of the monarchs and ministers of the Yan Kingdom, and they are indeed not easy to match, and our army should not underestimate the enemy." ”

Seeing that Hua An and Wang San were all praising the strength of the monarchs and ministers of the Yan Kingdom, all the generals were a little unconvinced, after all, they had not seen the strength of the monarchs and ministers of the Yan Kingdom with their own eyes, so they naturally would not believe that the monarchs and ministers of the Yan Kingdom had extraordinary strength.
