Chapter 499: Feint

"Duan Tong, you've been in the Central Plains for so long, don't you have many friends?" Hu Yanlan, one of the four mastiffs, rode on a horse, took the initiative to approach Duan Tong, who was also a member of the four mastiffs, and asked loudly.

Unlike the other four mastiffs, Tibano's contempt and Qi Wu's disregard, Hu Yanlan attached great importance to this Duan Tong who took the initiative to flee to Beiyi from the Central Plains, and he only felt that this person was extraordinary.

Duan Tong was a little puzzled: "Why did Lord Huyan suddenly ask about this?" Oh, who in this world would be without friends? ”

"Since you also have friends in the Central Plains and have some connections, why can't you even find out the whereabouts of other beggars?" "Don't beg" is the name of the Beiyi people for the daughter of the Great Khan, that is, Meng Qianya.

Duan Tong exhaled and said, "Some time ago, there was indeed the whereabouts of the princess, she first went to the Heavenly Dao, then went to the Tang Gate, and also visited some other small sects in the Central Plains, and after that, there was no news. ”

"Why is that?" Hu Yanlan was a little curious.

"The princess saw Zhang Zongbai." Duan Tong said lightly.

Hu Yanlan's eyes widened and she gasped: "What! Don't beg to see Zhang Zongbai!? That..."

"I don't know, it's going to be fine. Zhang Zongbai is not a wicked person, he has practiced for decades, and that kind of Dao heart is not something you and I can imagine. And the reckless killing will affect his ascension, I don't think he will make a move on the princess. ”

Hu Yanlan nodded when he heard this: "It makes sense, it seems that Brother Duan is still quite insightful about the Central Plains!" ”

Duan Tong ignored his innocuous praise and asked, "Where are our 150,000 troops going?" Didn't the Great Khan even tell you? ”

"Me? Hahaha, I just know a few words and read a few books. I don't know anything about marching and fighting. Hu Yanlan shook her head again and again and refused, and she didn't know if she really didn't know or didn't want to tell her.

He didn't say it, and Duan Tong didn't ask, just follow along.

After traveling for more than half a day, a Beiyi spy came on horseback, and before he could speak, Hu Yanlan raised his hand and shouted: "I know, you go down first." ”

The Beiyi spy didn't say much, leaned out slightly at Hu Yanlan and Duan Tong, turned around and left directly.

Seeing this, Duan Tong didn't ask any questions, what should be told to him, naturally someone will tell him.

The army continued to march forward for a short time, and Hu Yanlan saw Duan and the old god sitting on the ground, looking calm and relaxed, and couldn't help but smile: "Brother Duan is calm." ”

Duan Tong also grinned: "With Lord Huyan as the backbone of the army, my heart has long been in my stomach." ”

"I won't hide it from you, Brother Duan. We're here to attack Dingliao! This decision was told to me by the Great Khan himself, for fear of leaking the news, I have never dared to say it, and I will only tell Brother Duan now. ”

"It must have been at a fork in the road, and the spy came to report the news, right? Lord Huyan needs the villain to do something, but please command. Duan Tong said very respectfully.

"Hey! Between you and my brothers, this is a matter of seeing. The Great Khan ordered me to wait to attack Dingliao, but I still need to send a force to feint and attack the other two. My martial arts are mediocre, and I still need you to contribute a lot. Hu Yanlan smiled very politely.

Duan Tong nodded: "Well, where do you need me to feint?" ”

"I have 10,000 soldiers and horses with you, and you lead your troops to attack Anxi, how about it?" Hu Yanlan asked: "You can also use the Northland, you choose." ”

Duan Tong said with a smile: "Just Anxi, but in this way, if Lord Huyan has something to do in Dingliao, it will be difficult for me to support." ”

"It's okay, you just go." Hu Yanlan turned his head and shouted: "Hu Yantuo, you lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to follow Lord Duan and obey Lord Duan's dispatch!" ”

"Yes!" There was a response from the army behind him.

"Huyan..."Duan Tongxin silently recited this surname, and he already knew it in his heart.

The two said goodbye, and Duan Tong led 10,000 horses and set off straight towards the northwest border of Anbei. Hu Yanlan led an army of 140,000 and marched towards the east.

Duan Tong led the army and looked at this Huyantuo beside him, only to see that he was tall and burly, far from that obscene Huyanlan, and he couldn't help but doubt in his heart.

"General Huyan, you... Is it really the surname Huyan? Duan Tong couldn't help but ask.

"The last general's surname is Huyan, and he has been surnamed for decades! Hahahaha! Huyantuo was extremely bold and laughed loudly.

Duan Tong couldn't help but ask, "Then dare to ask... Lord Huyanlan... Do you have anything to do with the general? ”

Hu Yantuo said casually: "That's natural, Lord Hu Yanlan is my brother-in-law." In the Central Plains, it was brought to my Huyan family and followed the surname Huyan. ”

When Duan Tong heard this, he couldn't help but be a little amused: "Lord Huyan still has such a past!" ”

"Master Duan, you are from the Central Plains, I don't know. There are also various tribes between us in Beiyi, and when the Great Khan has not unified the tribes, they are also on the same page. My brother-in-law's tribe was defeated by my Huyan tribe, but by coincidence, their tribe was almost killed, and when our warriors were about to kill him, my sister took a fancy to him and recruited them into my Huyan tribe. ”

Hu Yantuo did not shy away from it, and told Duan Tong about the past of this Mixin.

"Oh~ I see. Then Lord Huyan is really blessed. Duan Tong chuckled lightly and echoed.

The two laughed and left, and Hu Yantuo told all the things about how Hu Yanlan was low in his voice in the Huyan tribe on weekdays, which made Duan laugh all the way.

On the other side, Hu Yanlan led the army to the east for a while, and then ordered the soldiers and horses to stop.

"Lord Huyan, why did you stop the army?" One of the generals asked.

Hu Yanlan turned his head, he knew this person, this person was a general under Qi Wukuo's evil. Among the four mastiffs, only Qi Wukuo was the most loyal to the Great Khan of Mengmulie, and everyone knew it. Of course, this is not to say that other people are not loyal, but everyone has reached a consensus that no one will be more loyal than Qi Wukuo.

Qi is not evil, and his generals are even more so, and his generals are also the backbone of Meng Mulie in Beiyi. It can be said that with Meng Mulie, others have no intention of rebellion, and with Meng Mulie, who has no help from evil, others only have the mind of rushing to the top.

"General Mi Trojan, to tell you the truth, the order given to me by the Great Khan is to attack Anxi, so I can't go any further, and if I go any further, I will delay the fighter." Hu Yanlan said very politely.

Mi Trojan Ma looked at Hu Yanlan with a little suspicion: "Then why did Lord Huyan just let Lord Duan go to feint against Anxi?" Master Duan went, if he couldn't attack it, wouldn't the enemy be on guard? ”

Hu Yanlan laughed: "Hahahaha, hasn't the general heard the words of the Central Plains?" It is called the virtual is real, and the real is virtual! Whether Lord Duan is a strong attack or a feint, the enemy army can see it at a glance. If I really went to Dingliao, the enemy army would have been prepared for it a long time ago. The official roads of the Central Plains are fast and convenient, and our marching speed cannot catch up with the military situation of the Central Plains people. ”

"Then Lord Huyan deliberately asked Lord Duan to make a feint attack on Anxi, we will stay aside, and after the feint, the defenders of Anxi will relax their vigilance, and we will take it in one fell swoop?" A person who can follow Qi Wukuo will not be a fool, Hu Yanlan figured it out with a little stroke.

Hu Yanlan said with a smile: "What the general said is very true. Today I'm going to have an anti-empty city plan, hahahaha. ”

Hearing this, Mi Muma didn't ask any more questions, nodded, turned his horse back into the military formation, and listened to Hu Yanlan's next move.

"The army is encamped on the spot, and then send scouts to the north to go around behind Duan Tong's soldiers and horses, the battle situation in Anxi, I want to report ten times a day!" Hu Yanlan shouted loudly to the herald in the Beiyi army, and the herald did as ordered, sending a number of scout spies to inquire in the direction of Duan Tong's army.

The place where the two armies said goodbye was not far from Fengcheng, and it would not take long to walk, and the tall outline of Fengcheng could already be seen on this endless grassland.

"Lord Duan, Anxi is thousands of miles away from Fengcheng. How about we stay here for a few days, and when my brother-in-law arrives in Dingliao, we can attack the city again? "Huyantuo looks tall and burly, but he also has a delicate side.

Duan Tong shook his head: "It is really commendable that the general can take into account the region, but the general only knows one and does not know the other." ”

"Oh? Sincere... May it... Hey, Lord Duan, don't sell it, let's talk about it. Huyantuo was a little anxious.

Duan Tong said seriously: "It is true that there is a thousand miles from Anxi to Dingliao. But if we delay the siege a few days later, how can Anthy's information be sent in time? When Anxi's military situation is sent to Dingliao, and Dingliao will send troops to help, won't Lord Huyan have to wait for some time? ”

"We might as well attack at this time, when Anxi's call for help reaches Dingliao, Lord Huyan may not be able to arrive. Waiting for Dingliao to send troops and horses to rescue, just taking advantage of the emptiness of Dingliao, Huyan can take it in one fell swoop! ”

Hu Yantuo savored it, nodded and said, "What Master Duan said is reasonable. So we're going to attack the city now? ”

"General, slow down, we are attacking the city now, we can only attack the north side of Fengcheng, and the soldiers and horses in the city defend the city, we only need to defend the north side. At that time, it was difficult for our army to shake the hearts of the people in Fengcheng, and it was not the best policy. It is better for the general to allocate some men and horses to the east and west sides of Fengcheng to create a false impression of siege in the city. ”

"When the hearts of Fengcheng people fluctuate, our army will be taken by surprise and killed them by surprise. Only in this way can Anxi's fear be provoked, and he will send orders to Beidi and Dingliao to call for help. ”

Duan Tong's eloquent remarks, and when he heard it, Hu Yantuo nodded again and again: "Okay, then according to Lord Duan's plan, where is Lord Duan going?" ”

Duan Tong thought for a moment and said, "To the east of Anxi is the northern land, and reinforcements will come from here. I'll take 3,000 soldiers and horses to the East City Gate! If there is a messenger in the city, I will take the opportunity to let him go. ”

Hu Yantuo agreed: "Okay! It's still Lord Duan who is thoughtful and thoughtful, then there are 3,000 people in the section, and Xicheng will have 2,000 soldiers and horses to lead a pair of generals. I'll take five thousand with me and attack from the north! ”

Duan Tong smiled: "That's the best!" ”

After discussing the division of troops, Duan Tong led the soldiers and horses and was about to leave, Hu Yantuo hurriedly shouted behind: "Lord Duan, although we are making a feint now, if we take Xicheng, Lord Duan still needs to seize the opportunity!" This credit is enough for you and me to divide it equally! Hahahaha! ”

Duan Tong laughed again, this time with a little cold: "That's nature." ”
