"General Huo! The Monroe have retreated! The Monroe have retreated! ”

Three days later, witnessing the retreat of the Mengluo army outside Xuanwu Pass, Han Kuang went to report to Huo Qing with excitement on his face.

At this moment, Huo Qing was sitting comfortably in the general's mansion hall, eating boiling hot pot with Zhou Tai.

Hearing Han Kuang's shouting, Zhou Tai instinctively got up, but was pressed back into the chair by Huo Qing, and said lightly: "What are you excited about, didn't you expect it from General Ben?" ”

Waiting for Han Kuang to enter the mansion hall, without waiting for him to speak, Huo Qing pointed to the chopsticks and said to him: "Han Shoubei, you came just in time, the heat of this hot pot is just right, let's enjoy it together." ”

Han Kuang didn't have the heart to eat any hot pot, and said to Huo Qing with a happy face: "General Huo, the Mengluo people have withdrawn, and we have defended the Xuanwu Pass, shouldn't we report to the Jingshi?" ”

"Victory? What's the success? Huo Qing asked with a confused expression.

Han Kuang said: "Naturally, it is to defend the Xuanwu Pass without losing and force the enemy army back." ”

Huo Qing smiled softly and shook his head: "Han Shoubei, a defensive battle without suspense, you have to report to Your Majesty, this is too ......"

Halfway through his words, he smiled again, picked up a piece of raw mutton dipped in sauce on the table, put it in the steaming hot pot soup, stirred for a while, and looked at Han Kuang.

"No, this battle is not over yet, and the enemy's withdrawal does not mean that the war is over."

Han Kuang was stunned: "What does General Huo mean by this?" ”

Huo Qing picked up the mutton that he had put down before, blew it on the side of his mouth, and then said: "Please General Han prepare 10,000 war horses, and you want one person and two horses.

Each war horse must wear a vest, and then prepare grain and grass for five days, and fried noodles with dried meat to make it easy to carry. ”

When Han Kuang heard this, he immediately knew what Huo Qing wanted to do, and hurriedly persuaded: "General Huo, the Mengluo people will retreat if they retreat, why do you want to provoke them?" Not afraid of their comeback? ”

Huo Qing smiled: "Comeback? Han Garrison thinks too much, the retreat of the Mengluo people can no longer pose any threat to our Han, from today onwards, the offense and defense will change shape, only our Han army will attack them, Han Garrison just do what General Ben said. ”

After speaking, Huo Qing swallowed the mutton in his mouth in one bite, and chewed deliciously.

For the first military genius under Huo Qing and Liu Ce, even if Han Kuang didn't understand it, he could only act according to the order, and after declining Huo Qing's invitation to dine together, he immediately left to prepare dry food for the war horse.

As soon as Han Kuang left, Zhou Tai couldn't help but ask: "General Huo, I really can't understand the humble position, why did you choose to attack at this time?" Wouldn't it be good to wait for the Monroe people to go away, relax their vigilance, and then take action? ”

Huo Qing said: "You don't understand, the Mengluo people are very proud, if they divide their troops and break through each other, they won't be really convinced at all.

Only by defeating their broken team from the front can we truly conquer them psychologically, not to mention, my Yulin Wei has become an army so far,

It's all hard battles, and it's the elite that is destroyed, but I don't know which one the army will be after this break, and General Ben hopes that it will be the people of the Murong Department. ”

Zhou Tai said: "The Murong Banner, that is, the Zhenglan Banner, this Banner has 300,000 people who control the strings, and the tribe has millions of people, do you really plan to target him?" Even so, 10,000 iron horsemen are not enough. ”

Huo Qing smiled: "I didn't say that I only brought 10,000 iron horses to die. ”

Zhou Tai's eyes widened: "But you ...... just now"

Huo Qing stopped him and said, "I'm afraid you forgot, Zhu Ling and their team are still happy in the territory of the Mengluo Empire, calculate the time, it's almost time to come back......"

Zhou Tai instantly understood Huo Qing's thoughts, and suddenly felt unprecedented horror at this general who was younger than himself.

I thought that Huo Qing sent 10,000 horses from Zhu Ling's various departments just to harass the enemy's rear, but I never thought that from the beginning, Huo Qing's purpose was far more than that.

He wants the life of Hachiman's main force!

It's horrible, it's horrible.

For such a moment, Zhou Tai was secretly glad that he had chosen to surrender to Cheng in the first place, otherwise, he was afraid that ten times would not be enough.

……

Sixty miles away from Xuanwu Pass, Murong looked at the desolate Guining City, and his heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Banner Master, the Holy Emperor's men and horses have returned a hundred miles north, should we also leave?" Murong Chui rode his horse to Murong Yong's side and suggested.

Murong Yong shook his head: "The Holy Emperor ordered my Murong headquarters to stay behind to prevent the Han army from pursuing, and now is not the time to retreat." ”

Murong Chui said: "It's been three days, the Han army is coming early, it's freezing this day, we can stand it, and our subordinates can't stand it." ”

Murong Yong didn't reply, but looked at Murong Chui and said: "Brother clan, don't be impatient, the Han army will definitely come, and it is very likely to be a hussar general, Huo Qing personally led the troops to pursue." ”

When Murong Chui heard this, he was immediately excited: "Very good, I just want to meet this No. 1 general in the Central Plains, is it a waste of fame!" ”

Murong Yong shook his head: "No, clan brother, listen to me, when you encounter Huo Qing's team, don't fight him, but try to lure him to the ......."

His eyes suddenly became extremely fierce, and he pointed in the direction of the retreat of the Monroe army.

Murong Chui instantly understood what Murong Yong meant, and his face was immediately full of disbelief, and he asked in a low voice, "What do you want to do?" That is the direction of the Holy Emperor's retreat, Murong Yun, you'd better explain it to me. ”

Murong said, "Brother Clan, don't you understand? This southern expedition ended so hastily, plus the two white flags fled from the battle, and when Tuoba Hongye returned to the royal court, how would he clean up the disobedient tribes? ”

He called Tuoba Hongye's real name, obviously no longer treating Tuoba Hongye as an emperor.

Murong Trai: "But my Murong Department didn't violate the Holy Emperor's order!" ”

Murong Yong's eyes were cold: "But don't forget, the two white flags left without telling them, it was secretly instigated by the banner master, and the old fox Tuoba Hongye will soon come back to his senses.

Do you think what he will do to us when he returns to the royal court? It will definitely make our Murong Department send troops to fight against the two white flags, so that we can reduce each other's strength and stabilize our own strength! ”

Murong Chui kept shaking his head: "No, as a courtier of Mengluo, how can I do such a rebellious thing at such a time, I can't agree with it." ”

Murong Yong said disappointedly: "Brother, I know that you are very proud and disdainful of petty means, but you will kill the entire Murong Department like this.

In addition, I will tell you another secret, Tuoba Hongye has contracted a serious illness, I am afraid that the time is short, and you should also understand what crazy things the dying wolf king will do for his children and grandchildren!

Brother clan, the future of the Murong Department is all on you, with Huo Qing's hand to get rid of Tuoba Hongye, my Murong Department will have a chance to dominate the grassland,

Once you miss this opportunity, when Tuoba Hongye recalls Tuoba Yuhai from the Slavic realm, the Murong Department will be at risk of extinction, you can think clearly. ”

Tuoba Yuhai, this name is on the grassland, and its prestige is more feared than Tuoba Hongye.

Murong Trai knew very well that the most wary person for the Murong Department had to be Tuoba Yuhai, and once he returned to the royal court, the survival of the Murong Department would become a problem.

"Alas~"

Considering the interests of the clan, Murong Chui finally chose to compromise.
