Chapter 267: Enemy on the Belly and Back

After the army waited in place for a while, the soldiers who had gone to spy on the military situation had already returned, and said: "King Heng's army was cut off from the middle by a force, and the army was divided into two, and these 70,000 people were the part that lost contact with the main force!" ”

"Oh?" Shen Xiaoyi showed an interested gaze, "There is still such a thing!" I don't know who is leading this force! ”

"Now is not the time to think about this!" Murong asked, "So what about now?" Did they ignore or annihilate the 70,000 horses like the 5,000 men and horses in front of them? ”

"What about your opinion?" Shen Xiaoyi threw the question to Murong Xun.

Murong Xun thought for a moment and said, "Seventy thousand horses is not a small number, and it will not be used for sneak attacks. And if you lose contact with the main army, you will inevitably have less food, and when you pass through Qingyun Mountain, you will inevitably harass the people of Daxiang, and General Chen will not sit idly by at that time. So, it's all about fighting anyway, so it's better for us to attack before the enemy finds us! ”

Murong Xun paused and said, "Since King Heng's army has been cut off, that is, even if we have discovered our whereabouts, there is no way to take action in a short time, why don't we take this opportunity to go directly to Shuzhong?" ”

Shen Xiaoyi looked at Murong Xun, showed a hint of appreciation, and said: "As for these 70,000 horses, is there any way to force them to Wenshui, and then leave some of them to be contained, and after we attack Shuzhong, we will annihilate them!" ”

Murong Xun thought for a while and said, "I don't know if it's feasible if I have a plan?" ”

Shen Xiaoyi said: "Let's talk about it! ”

Murong Xun said: "We can release the news first, the Wei soldiers are fighting with the Daxiang army, and the Daxiang army is retreating one after another, and it has reached Qingyun Mountain." The rebels will inevitably go back to take advantage of the fire to loot, but we can set up an ambush on the road to Qingyun Mountain, and when the rebels pass the cliff, attack with fire. The Yan army was bound to be in chaos, thinking that there was an ambush ahead, and then did not dare to move forward, but would retreat in the direction of Shuzhong. ”

After a pause, Murong Xun said again: "On the one hand, we will speed up our march into Shuzhong, take Shuzhong before these 70,000 people arrive in Shuzhong, and when these 70,000 people come, we will give a fatal blow." But this method is very risky, if we can't take Shuzhong before these 70,000 people go back to Shuzhong, we will suffer from the enemy! ”

"It's a bit risky, but it's a good one!" Shen Xiaoyi said, "Let's do it!" ”

Shen Xiaoyi ordered to send people to set up an ambush on the cliff on the one hand, and speed up the march on the other.

After the army marched for two days, they finally came to the realm of Shuzhong.

Shen Xiaoyi ordered to set up camp, recuperate, and attack the city tomorrow.

"How's the military situation now?" Murong Xun asked with some concern.

Shen Xiaoyi said: "There is no news about the fine work sent to Shuzhong so far, and the 70,000 rebels behind are rushing to Shuzhong after the fire attack of the cliff. ”

"How far are they from us?" Murong Xun asked.

"It's only one day!" Shen Xiaoyi said.

The expression on Murong Xun's face became more and more solemn, and he said, "It seems that we only have one day to attack the city!" ”

"Have a good rest, I think there will be a hard fight tomorrow!" After being silent for a while, Murong Xun said.

After speaking, Murong Xun walked out of Shen Xiaoyi's tent and came to his tent.

Zhao Hui was waiting inside, and when he saw Murong Xun entering, he got up and saluted, "I've seen the princess!" ”

Murong Xun said: "Is there still no news of the prince?" ”

Zhao Hui said: "It's strange, there has been no news of the prince. The subordinates are worried, could it be that something happened to the prince? ”

Murong Xun hurriedly said: "Impossible, since Zhao Ling has already agreed with me, he will not be discredited, he must be fine!" ”

Murong Xun sighed and said, "Continue to send someone to contact the prince, be sure to find the whereabouts of the prince, at least to know whether the prince is safe!" ”

"My subordinates know!" Zhao Hui stepped back.

Murong Xun was the only one left in the tent, although she comforted Zhao Hui and Zhao Ling on her lips, but in her heart she was more afraid than anyone else that something had happened to Zhao Ling.

Murong Xun sighed, walked out of the tent, and came outside. The moon in the sky is very dark, and there are no stars, so it is dark outside.

Murong Xun couldn't help but feel a sense of vigilance in his heart. Her gaze swept over the trees next to the tent, and only the outline was clear in the darkness.

Suddenly, I saw a flock of birds startled.

Murong Xun's heart tightened, and he shouted at the reassurance of the trees: "What person! ”

But the reply was one of calm.

"Someone!" Murong Xun shouted.

Immediately, several soldiers came to Murong Xun and asked, "My lord, what's the matter?" ”

Murong Xun pointed to the trees in front of him and said, "Let's see if there are ambushes inside!" ”

Although the soldier was suspicious of Murong Xun's words, he still did not disobey her words, and took a few people to check inside the trees in front of him.

The soldier approached with a torch, and after searching inside, he replied, "Lord Qiyu, there is nothing abnormal!" ”

"Oh?" Murong Xun was even more puzzled, if someone hadn't broken in, Fang Cai's flying bird would not have been startled for no reason. As soon as she jumped, she jumped onto the treetops and looked at the situation below, but it was too dark tonight to see the situation below.

Suddenly, Murong Xun's gaze froze, and he saw that there seemed to be a glowing thing moving rapidly among the trees, and it soon disappeared, but Murong Xun knew very well that what he saw was definitely not her hallucination.

Oops! Murong Xun was shocked, so he immediately jumped off the tree and walked towards Shen Xiaoyi's tent.

Shen Xiaoyi hadn't fallen asleep yet, and it was quite strange to see Murong Xun, seeing her face as if she was in a hurry, he couldn't help but get nervous and asked, "What happened?" ”

Murong Xun said: "I just discovered that our whereabouts seem to have been discovered!" ”

"Why do you say that?" Shen Xiaoyi asked.

Murong Xun said: "I found that someone seems to be spying on us!" ”

"Oh?" Shen Xiaoyi's heart also rose vigilantly, so he called the soldiers outside the tent and ordered: "In order to prevent someone from robbing the camp, strengthen the vigilance!" ”

"Who the hell is spying on us?" Shen Xiaoyi's eyes showed a look of doubt, and he said: "The 70,000 horses in the rear will indeed be able to arrive in a day, and the Shuzhong in front will not be able to hold out because of the lack of military strength!" ”

"Could it be that King Heng expected that someone would sneak attack Shuzhong and planted an ambush in advance?" Murong Xun said.

"It's possible!" Shen Xiaoyi said, "I will find out the situation as soon as possible!" ”

After a while, he saw Zhao Yongnian walking in in a hurry, and was quite surprised to see that Murong Xun was also here, but he quickly regained his composure and said to Shen Xiaoyi: "I just discovered that another Heng King's scattered army is coming towards Shuzhong!" ”

Murong Xun was taken aback and said, "Then aren't we enemies from three sides now?" ”

"How far are we left?" Shen Xiaoyi asked.

"Less than half a day!" Zhao Yongnian said with a solemn face.

"What?" Murong Xun was shocked in his heart and said, "Could it be that it is their people who came to inquire about the news just now?" ”

While a few people were talking, they heard a soldier hurriedly come to report, "Oh no, general, there are enemy troops robbing the village!" ”

Murong Xun and Shen Xiaoyi looked at each other.

Shen Xiaoyi's eyes sank, and he said, "It's really expected!" ”

Zhao Yongnian also said in a deep voice: "It seems that there is still one side of strength, and now, we are really Quartet!" ”

Murong Xun said: "Not necessarily, it is the so-called death and then life, now although we are surrounded by enemies on all sides, but the enemy is not attacking at the same time, if we can take Shuzhong before the other two Heng Kings are driven by the scattered army, there is still hope for victory!" ”

Shen Xiaoyi said: "Now it can only be like this!" After a pause, he said: "Our soldiers are divided into two routes, on the one hand, we will lead people to attack Shuzhong, and on the other hand, we will lead people to defend against the current enemy!" ”

"I'm going to fetch Shuzhong!" Murong Xun said.

"What are you kidding, there will be a war there for women, I'll go!" Zhao Yongnian said.
