The northernmost place of Daliang is Tanzhou, and outside it is the Hetao Plain, as long as the cavalry of Beiyan crosses the Yinshan Pass, it can approach the border of Daliang.

Just like Tanzhou at this time, outside the north gate of Tanzhou City, where 30,000 Northern Yan cavalry Chen Bing, the entire Tanzhou City was completely in a state of panic, and the situation was not optimistic.

When Shao Shan arrived at Tanzhou City with a hundred soldiers of the forbidden army day and night, he saw such a scene.

Tanzhou, as the northernmost defensive town of Daliang, is the place where the caravans between the two countries must pass through, usually it can be described as extremely prosperous, the gathering of the south and the north, the three religions and nine streams are mixed, and the street is always a noisy situation.

But now in the city of Tanzhou, it is a depressed image, all kinds of shops are closed, the pedestrians on the street are in a hurry, many vendors on both sides of the street have long disappeared, and a team of soldiers are constantly patrolling back and forth in the city, giving people a sense of depression that is about to come.

"My lord, the situation here doesn't seem right!" Zhao Hai drove his horse to Shao Shan's side and reminded in a low voice.

"Well, that's not right!" Shao Shan nodded, and then ordered, "Send someone to the Shuaifu to report the news, and then go around to inquire about the situation!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Zhao Hai agreed, and then ordered.

Soon, a fast horse took the lead towards the mansion of the commander of Qi, and Zhao Hai personally walked to the street and stopped the pedestrians who were in a hurry to inquire about the situation.

Soon, Zhao Hai ran back with a grim face, saluted Shao Shan with a fist, and said: "My lord, the last general has inquired clearly, it is said that three days ago, the Northern Yan cavalry suddenly attacked, directly broke through the Yin Wind Mouth, and went straight into the Hetao, and now it has arrived outside Tanzhou City!" ”

"Three days ago, no wonder I didn't receive the news!" Shao Shan muttered to himself.

"Yes, I'm afraid that even if there is news, it won't reach our hands!" Zhao Hai agreed.

"When the enemy army comes to attack, just go out to meet the enemy, over the years, isn't this a common situation, why is this the case in Tanzhou today!" Shao Shan asked in a deep voice again.

"It is said that the commander of Qi led the army out of the city to meet the enemy, and returned defeated, and he himself was seriously injured and his life was in danger, and now Tanzhou City can be described as a leaderless situation!" Zhao Hai truthfully reported what he had heard.

"Oh, there's such a thing, shouldn't it?" Shao Shan frowned slightly, "Commander Qi has been guarding the northern border for many years, and it is not once or twice that he has fought with the Northern Yan army, there have always been mutual victories and defeats, even if the Northern Yan suddenly attacked this time, the Shangyang army was based on the city, and it was still possible to remain undefeated, how could there be such a big mistake now!" ”

"It's hard for people outside to know about such a secret thing, and the last general thinks that he can only go to the Shuaifu to find out now!" Zhao Hai suggested.

"Well, the whole army set off and headed for the Shuai Mansion!" Shao Shan waved his hand and rode away first, and now there are no pedestrians on the street, and he is not afraid of any accidents.

Just when Shao Shan and his party were about to arrive at the gate of the Shuaifu, the soldiers of the forbidden army who went to report the news ran out quickly with a middle-aged general.

"My lord, this is General Sun Kang, the deputy general of the Shangyang Army!" The soldiers of the forbidden army who reported the news reported first.

"My lord, the last general Sun Kang is late to greet you, please forgive me!" General Sun Kang solemnly performed a military etiquette and said.

Emperor Liang sent people to inspect the northern border, and many generals of the Qi Governor and Shangyang Army had already received the news, so to speak, Shao Shan's trip represented Emperor Liang's inspection of the northern border, even if it was the commander of Qi, he had to be polite, not to mention the many generals below, and the army was already ready to greet him.

It's just that the plan can't catch up with the changes, the Northern Yan army came suddenly without the slightest warning, and many generals have long been unable to take care of others, and what they didn't expect was that Shao Shan and his party came so quickly, just in time for this crisis.

"General Sun, don't be polite!" Shao Shan turned over and dismounted and said, "What is the situation now, I heard that Commander Qi is injured, how is the injury?" What was the situation with the Northern Yan army outside the city? ”

At this time, the four gates of the entire Tanzhou City have been closed for three times, and only the south gate is left for personnel to come and go, and at the same time, there are also heavy troops patrolling, but they did not dare to stop Shaoshan and his party.

Under such circumstances, Sun Kang didn't have time to be polite, and while leading Shao Shan towards the Shuaifu, he explained the current situation to him: "Three days ago, the Northern Yan cavalry buckled the side, this kind of thing often happens, but there is no fuss, it is often a few big battles between the two armies, and Beiyan will naturally retreat when he sees that there is no advantage to take advantage of!" ”

"Well, I know all about the past, tell me what happened this time!" Shao Shan said as he walked, before he set off, he naturally had to understand the current situation in the northern part of Daliang, so Shao Shan had a very detailed understanding of what General Sun said now.

"Originally, everyone thought that this time was no different from the past, but the real situation was beyond everyone's expectations, the attack of the Northern Yan cavalry this time was different from the past, the attack was like a mad tiger, and the battle did not retreat, our army was not well prepared, suffered a big loss, and the army that met was quickly defeated by the other party!"

"Dereliction of duty, negligence of the enemy!" Shao Shan made a direct judgment.

"Yes, sir!" Sun Kang did not dare to refute, and the experience of the two armies fighting for many years did give the generals in the army a kind of misleading and made them relax their vigilance.

And Shao Shan, as an envoy who inspected the northern military in place of the emperor, was naturally qualified to ask and reprimand for such a thing, even if it was the commander of Qi, he could not refute it, and the most important thing was that after returning to Jinling, Shao Shan wanted to truthfully report the situation in the north to Emperor Liang, and when the time came, I was afraid that the generals in the Shangyang army would be unable to escape the blame.

"Then how did Commander Qi get hurt?" Shao Shan then asked, this is also the place that Shao Shan can't figure out the most, the two armies are fighting, and it is really rare for the main general to be injured, and Qi Commander Shuai has been guarding the northern border for many years, and he has experienced countless battle formations, why is there an accident only this time.

"It's Tuoba Hao!" Sun Kang said hatefully.

A simple name made Shao Shan pause, and on the way to it, he was still thinking, I don't know if there is a chance to try the so-called Tuoba Hanhai Sword on this trip to the north, but I didn't expect Tuoba Hao to jump out by himself now.

"Go on!"

"Yes, sir!" Sun Kang continued, "At that time, the army was defeated and returned, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, the commander of Qi personally went into battle and led the army to meet the enemy, but I didn't expect that Tuoba Hao was too insidious, and there was no trace of it before, but when the two armies were fighting, he disguised himself as an ordinary soldier and hid in the army. ”
