"Don't worry, I'll report to Zuo Chang in person. I believe that Commander Zuo will definitely attach importance to this kind of important matter and personally lead the army to meet it."

Outside Huangcheng, Yang Xiong patted Zhao Tuo's shoulder and asked him to leave with peace of mind.

Zhao Tuo nodded and said, "With Brother Yang around, I am naturally at ease."

As he spoke, Zhao Tuo looked at Zhao Ben who was standing beside Yang Xiong, and when he saw the other party's jaw signal, Zhao Tuo also relieved himself.

With Zhao Ben guarding Huang, I think there will be no chaos here, so that Zhao Tuo can rest assured to follow the pursuing Wei army.

This is a decision made by Zhao Tuo and the three of them after hearing about the Battle of Jiyang.

The Wei army abandoned the rescue of Taoqiu and turned westward, and there must be a big plan for this.

Although Zhao Tuo could not know exactly what the Wei army was planning, he vaguely felt that the other party might be trying to come up with a plan to "encircle Qin and save Wei" and raid the hinterland of Qin to relieve the siege of Daliang.

There are still tens of thousands of Wei soldiers in Daliang City, and they have the strength to fight.

As long as Wang Ben's besieging army was forced to mobilize and there were flaws, the Wei troops in those cities might seize the opportunity to raid out of the city and seek survival.

If the Wei army's plan is allowed to succeed, it may be difficult for the Qin State to achieve full success in the battle to destroy Wei.

And this is precisely the last thing Zhao Tuo and Yang Xiong need, as long as they can stop all this, they can successfully make meritorious contributions.

"This matter is very risky, in case that Wei Bao is really a fool, and he doesn't want to attack Qin Land in the west. Instead, he really went south to lead the army to attack Waihuang, and I just happened to collide with his southbound division when I went, so I am afraid that there will be a danger of overthrowing the army."

"However, since Wei Bao can raid the Qin army in Jiyang, he has at least some military acumen, coupled with the previous move of abandoning the city, the possibility of him going south is very small, even if he really encounters it, as long as the scouts I sent in front react in time, he can also lead the army to retreat, and the loss will not be very large."

Zhao Tuo personally led more than 1,000 Qin soldiers to the north to pursue this time.

Some of them were defeated by the Qin army in Hanoi.

Jiyang was defeated, not only did they have no success, but some generals would even be convicted for it. Therefore, these Hanoi troops made meritorious contributions to their sins, but they were quite warlike. After all, the reason why they were defeated was all due to the surprise attack of the Wei army from the rear, not a frontal defeat, their morale did not fall to the valley, and they still had the will to fight.

In this way, there are still 6 or 700 people in the outer Yellow City.

Originally, Yang Xiong wanted to personally lead the army to follow, but this matter was very important, and Zhao Tuo did not dare to let Yang Xiong go into battle, so he persuaded him to stay in the name of needing him to contact Huan Zhao to report.

As for Zhao Ben staying, it is because Waihuangcheng is now very unstable.

After hundreds of Hanoi routs entered Waihuang, the Wei people in the city knew that the Qin army had been defeated by the Wei prince under the city of Jiyang, and many Wei people had the idea that there was a possibility of rebellion at any time.

Zhao Tuo can only let the steady Zhao Ben stay, and this person can lead 700 soldiers to guard the city, so as to ensure that he has no worries about the back road, and he can attack and retreat.

Another point, Zhao Tuo was worried that Huan Zhao would use this matter to rectify him, but after thinking about it carefully, if he succeeded in this battle, Huan Zhao, as the commander, could also get a great promotion.

In this case, as long as Huan Zhao is not a fool, not only will he not stop it, but he will personally guarantee the victory of this attack.

This is a common interest.

So Zhao Tuo Anxin led the army north.

He had only a thousand soldiers under his command, but Zhao Tuo still cautiously divided a hundred elite people led by Shima to explore the way for the Xing army in front of him, in case he was ambushed by the Wei army.

Another cronie, Black Buttocks, led two hundred people to the queen and was responsible for the safety of the rear road.

Zhao Tuo himself commanded 700 people in the center, so that the arrangement could be corresponding, and the whole army would not be wiped out by an ambush.

Waihuang is not far from Humu Township in Yangwu County in the north, and at dusk at night, the vanguard led by Shima arrived outside Humu Township and met the Wei soldiers stationed here.

With the sound of Ding Ding Dongdong's soldiers, in just half an hour, the Wei soldiers who were attacked by the surprise were all annihilated by the Qin army. With the exception of a few who were kept as prisoners for interrogation, most of the Wei pawns had their heads cut off.

"Very good, we will defeat the Wei army in the countryside in one battle

。」

Zhao Tuo heard the military information coming from the front of him, his face remained unchanged, he looked at the countryside in the night in front of him, and his eyes flashed with fine light.

"Sure enough, the number of Wei troops in the township is less than a hundred, and its main force has long since left. The news that Wei Bao is attacking Waihuang in the south is false, and he actually wants to use this false news to bluff us in place so that he can lead his army westward."

When Zhao Tuo learned about the movements of the main force of the Wei army from the captured Wei pawns through torture, he further verified his guess.

"Attack Yangwu County in the west, recover the Wei land, and kill the Yangwu Order who betrayed the Wei State? Hehe, Wei Bao likes to use these guises, even his own soldiers to coax them."

"Lonely, quickly send someone to send a letter to Lord Yang 2500 to inform him of the situation here. Let's just say that it has been determined that the main force of the Wei army is indeed heading west, and our previous guess is correct, this Wei army is probably going to attack the heart of our Qin State to relieve the siege of Daliang!"

Zhao Tuo turned his head sideways and instructed the beggar on the side.

"Yui."

Xi Qigu agreed, and immediately went down to send a messenger to gallop in the direction of Waihuang to convey the military situation here.

"The troops entered the countryside in an orderly manner, and the soldiers rested well, preparing to rush to pursue tomorrow. In addition, let the soldiers of the palace led by the black buttocks be responsible for the night guard, guarding the gate of the city to prevent the enemy from raiding."

Zhao Tuo ordered the arrangement of the army tonight, and after temporarily handing over the command to Shijian, he strode into the countryside.

He still has someone to meet.

Humu Township, Zhang's mansion.

Zhang Cheng's father and son, who were scared in front of Wei Bao a few days ago, are now standing in front of this young Qin general, and they are also worried, not knowing what will happen to their Zhang clan when the Qin army comes again.

Zhang Ying said boldly: "Dare General, we have already captured those fleeing Wei soldiers, and today's matter will definitely not be leaked to the Wei Leopard army."

Zhao Tuo nodded, looking at Zhang Cheng's father and son in front of him with some surprise.

This old man has some skills, after hearing that the Qin army has invaded the township, he actually stood up in time to call on the villagers, blocked the road to the west, and let the young people in the township arrest a few Wei soldiers who wanted to escape and spread the message.

In this way, the Qin army's raid on Humu Township was completely successful, and not a single Wei pawn escaped.

Even Zhao Tuo's next battle plan will be changed by this.

In his original plan, no matter how fast the Qin army attacked and how aggressive the offensive was, it would be difficult to wipe out the Wei army in the township, and there would definitely be a defeated soldier who would go west, and inform the Wei army westward of the sneak attack on Humu Township.

This thing is difficult to avoid, so that Zhao Tuo's tailgating and chasing is no longer a secret matter.

But this doesn't matter, because in his discussion with Zhao Ben and others, the strategic goal of this trip is to drag the Wei army and hang behind Wei Bao.

If the Wei army dares to attack the cities of Qin, they will attack from behind.

Everything was to delay the westward advance of the Wei army, waiting for the messenger to spread the military information here to Huanzhao, to Wang Ben, and even to Xingyang and other places further west.

In this way, the hinterland cities of Qin can be defended in advance, Huan Zhao can lead the army north to support, and Wang Ben can also be prepared to calmly dispatch troops and horses to wipe out this Wei army advancing westward.

The Wei army's surprise soldiers, who have exposed their tracks and strategic objectives, will no longer be a threat.

And Zhao Tuo and Yang Xiong want to get this credit.

But now, with Zhang Cheng mobilizing the villagers to intercept all the Wei pawns in the city, the situation is very different.

"Wei Bao didn't know that my army had copied his back road, so ......

A gleam flashed in Zhao Tuo's eyes, and he smelled the fighter.
