"Get out of here, all of you, and wait outside the tent for my orders. Liu Yao scolded angrily, everyone retreated, Liu Yao looked at You Ziyuan kindly, he deserved to be his most valued strategist, the more dangerous it is, the more he can show a person's ability. Liu Yao treats his subordinates very harshly, of course, he also knows the importance of talents, so he is not bad for people who are really capable, and it is precisely for this reason that You Ziyuan dares to speak at this time, but Liu Yao's cronies and even his son dare not squeak.

"The unrelated people of the chief officer have all gone out, what do you have to teach me. Liu Yao's attitude towards himself made You Ziyuan nod secretly, worthy of being the lord he fancied.

"General, the situation of the enemy is unknown at this time, but I dare to assert that our situation is very dangerous. Later, Liu Feng, the general of Zhenbei, was defeated, and the Xianbei army poured into the country, with more than 200,000 troops, even if a forward was sent to pursue it a little, the enemy army was vigorous, and our army would be difficult to resist. And there are enemy troops in front, although I don't think it's a Xianbei army, otherwise they can't have such a plan, but they are definitely friends and foes, with limited information, although the enemy in front may have annihilated my 500 cavalry, but I don't think their strength is very strong, on the contrary, I think they probably don't have the strength to fight my 500 cavalry head-on. However, judging from their behavior, there must be people who are good at strategy in the opposing army, and I don't think it is difficult to hold us back. At that time, our army will be in danger. Therefore, I propose that the general leave first, this state is now weird, and the general's golden body, there is really no need to take risks. And for these people, the general can order a general to escort them on his behalf, and the general will leave 3,000 infantry, I think it is completely enough. "Although You Ziyuan's strategy is unremarkable, the ruthlessness of being able to throw 3,000 infantry and 50,000 people as bait is still eye-catching.

Of course, Liu Yao heard the strings and knew the meaning of Yayi, he immediately knew what You Ziyuan meant, he was also a bold person, and immediately agreed to You Ziyuan's suggestion, the Han people said that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, let alone him, the prince.

The official position of Zhao Hanguo is very chaotic, some are learning from the Jin Dynasty, and some are retaining their own Xiongnu traditions, for example, Liu Wei still has a position of the Right Xian King, which is the official position of the Xiongnu. Because of the confusion of official positions, there are many people who have been named generals in the Zhao and Han courts, such as hussars, chariot horses, Wei generals, Fubo, Fujun, Duhu, Zhenjun, Zhongjun, Sizheng, Sizhen, Longxiang, Dianjun, Shangjun, and Fuguo. Therefore, in Liu Yao's army, in addition to Liu Yao, there are two generals, one is Shi Cheng, the general of the auxiliary state, and the other is Liu Ai, the general of the capital protection, of course, these two people have no sense of existence, but because of the nepotism or the protection of the elders, the general has no real power, the most important thing is that he does not have the right to open the mansion, but Liu Ji and Liu Yao can open the mansion, and the nominal level of these shoes is not seen by Liu Yao at all.

So when Liu Yao ordered Shi Cheng, the general of the auxiliary state, to become the commander of the infantry army, Shi Cheng, the general of the auxiliary state, not only did not feel angry about being humiliated, but was also grateful to Dade. Liu Yao didn't care about the gratitude of the fourth layer, and he ordered Liu Ai, the general of the capital protection, to be the deputy commander, responsible for escorting 50,000 people, and Liu Ai was of course excited.

And Liu Yao took his henchmen and cavalry to take the first step, he was nominally to open the way for the army, Liu Yao told everyone that the big clan in Niexian County in front of him killed our army scouts, gathered the crowd to rebel, and the captain Liu He could not deal with it, and he had to go in person. This excuse did not arouse the suspicion of the two generals, so Liu Yao gecko broke his tail and easily abandoned this burden.

"Report to the general, after exploration, there are two avenues that want to pass through Nexian, and the rest of the trails are not suitable for the army to pass. "The scouts gave a detailed report on the two roads ahead, and they did not encounter any danger. After hearing this, Liu Yao immediately passed the wanderer over.

"General, the two roads ahead are very dangerous, one is a natural trap, and the other is a fire attack that will defeat our army, no wonder the enemy will intercept our army here. After listening to Liu Yao's description, You Ziyuan immediately realized the danger.

"Yes, I also think something is wrong, so I came to you to discuss. "Liu Yao has commanded the army for many years, and of course he is aware of the danger. However, they didn't dare to retreat, so once they retreated and encountered the Xianbei army, they couldn't run if they wanted to, so Liu Yao was in a dilemma.

"It's not okay to retreat, who is the other party, how many soldiers and horses there are, I don't know, it's really difficult to decide, or our army will come to a real and a virtual one, and a virtual one is real, first pretend to pass through one road, and then suddenly turn to another?"

"It's too early to draw conclusions, otherwise let's check the county town of Nirvana first, and it's best to roughly estimate the enemy's strength before making a decision. Five hundred cavalry, I don't believe that all of them were burned to death by the flames, leaving no trace. ”

After Liu Yao finished speaking, You Ziyuan immediately complimented: "The general is thoughtful, I can't do it." ”

When the group arrived in Nexian, although the charred corpses smelled very bad, these battlefield veterans had long been accustomed to it, so more than a thousand people quickly gathered hundreds of charred corpses.

"What a simple means, first set fire to the horse, and then shoot with rockets, the rest finally escaped from the fire, and then the cavalry stepped on the meat mud, look at the horseshoe prints left, the number of the other party is said to be hundreds, although I am confident that my Hun iron cavalry is invincible, but now the enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light, and I should not take it lightly. You Ziyuan endured the desire to vomit, and still analyzed it for his master with his heart, Liu Yao nodded, his experience told him that You Ziyuan's analysis was correct.

"Come on, send scouts to probe the two roads in all directions, no matter what situation you encounter, report immediately, I don't believe that I can't find any trace of the other party, now I have 1,500 iron horsemen, I don't believe that anyone dares to attack our army head-on, and today I will camp here to respond to all changes. Liu Yao immediately gave an order, and his move had to be said to be very tricky.

Liu Yao is worthy of being a veteran, so it is difficult for Chu Yun to choose, the people sent by Liu Yao are all over the mountains and fields to search for all the places that can be ambushed, if they attack these people, then they will expose their intentions, if they don't care, then Chu Yun's people can't hide at all.

"Liu Bi, what do you suggest?" Chu Yun knew that none of the people under his command had serious attention, so he looked at Liu Bi, who had been in the regular army.

"General, I have heard of Liu Yao's name, once with Shi Le's first palace as a minister, when I was under Shi Le, I also heard Shi Le's comments on Liu Yao's use of soldiers, Liu Yao's use of troops in the early stage of the attack and defense is not in order, only with the use of his subordinates, he is invincible, so it is not very difficult to deal with. And then Shibei three days should be impressive, Liu Yao absorbed the art of war of his predecessors, unified the army to a degree, and then with Shi Le, Wang Mi to capture Luoyang in the battle of full of scheming, Shi Le as an opponent, is a rare wise general among the Huns, so I think we want to fight and die, it is very difficult, otherwise we let Liu Yao leave, the tens of thousands of people and 3,000 infantry behind, enough for us to digest, with these population, we can recruit thousands, at least a foothold worry-free. After Liu Bi finished speaking, although Chu Yun did not approve of it, he felt that what Liu Bi said was very reasonable, but Chu Yun was always a little unwilling.

"Liu Bi, you take 200 people to the avenue with reeds, and when you see the scouts of the Huns, they are all cut off. Fang Dashan, you take 200 people to the avenue of the canyon, the same task as Liu Duwei, see the scouts of the Huns, all of them will be eliminated, I will not allow any scouts to unscrupulously probe the arrangement of our army, and the rest of the people are all hidden and not allowed to act rashly. Of course, if you encounter a large army of the other side, then you don't have to fight, and you should evacuate immediately. "Since Liu Yao has made a move, Chu Yun can only accept it.

The cavalry on both sides came and went on two roads, at the beginning Chu Yun's iron-blooded army also took the lead by virtue of its numerical advantage, killing dozens of Hun scouts, but the Huns also became smart, they dozens of people performed tasks in a team, and once attacked, immediately asked for help, so that the iron-blooded army could not take advantage, and the two sides had casualties on each other, and no one dared to act lightly. As a result, the search speed of the Huns slowed down, and even some areas could not be searched.

Although Liu Yao finally forced out the enemy, but he still did not know the identity of the enemy, he repeatedly ordered to capture the opponent's people alive, interrogating the opponent's identity and manpower, but unfortunately, Chu Yun had already issued an order not to divide the troops, so three days passed, Liu Yao still did not catch the mouth alive, although the cavalry of the Iron Blood Army was not as good as the Hun cavalry, but it was not very far behind.

Of course, Chu Yun is also very sad, the atmosphere of the war is getting stronger and stronger, and the iron-blooded army under him has fluctuated, not to mention these county soldiers who have almost never seen blood, but fortunately, he has found a talent, and the original eldest son he promoted, the official of the north gate of the city, tried his best to appease his subordinates, so that there was no mutiny, and Chu Yun was overjoyed to promote him to captain, on the same level as Zhao Hu.

In the constant temptation of the commanders of both sides, not only Chu Yun was uncomfortable, but Liu Yao was also very unhappy, and the enemy in the dark was the most worrying. The identity of Chu Yun's side is still unknown, but it is certain that Chu Yun's side has hundreds of cavalry. The cavalry of the Iron Blood Army is also considered elite, and Liu Yao even suspects that Chu Yun's side is Liu Kun's people, and they are ordered to drag themselves, which makes Liu Yao even more pressured. Now that a few days have passed on the two roads, I still haven't checked them, and I don't know which road has an ambush, or if there are ambushes on both roads, which also makes Liu Yao anxious. What's even more terrifying is that Liu Feng's rout is constantly coming, even the two generals who are substitutes for themselves are also aware of it, they keep sending people to ask Liu Yao to go back, and their ability is limited, more and more people are fleeing, and the 3,000 infantry can hardly effectively control the 50,000 captive population, making Liu Yao scold the waste.

"General, when the interruption continues, let's go, they may be trying to hold us back. The wanderer is far from his former demeanor, analyzing the situation for Liu Yao for several days, and not eating and drinking well, making him look extremely weak.

"Okay, but before I leave, I have to try, someone will explore two more paths for me, and if I encounter obstacles, I don't have to go deeper. Liu Yao gave the order.

On the other side, Chu Yun also issued a new order: "Come on, go to the top of the road with a canyon and light a bonfire, I will let Liu Yao also defeat Huarong Dao." ”

This allusion to Huarong Road Chinese knows a lot, after Cao Cao's army defeated Chibi, he fled to Nanjun, just to a fork, one road is Huarong Road, the other road is the avenue, Huarong Road is rugged, but it is nearly fifty miles, and the avenue is flat, but it is fifty miles away. Cao Cao asked the scouts to investigate, and after the scouts had finished their investigations, they told Cao Cao that there was smoke rising from Huarong Road, and the avenue was quiet. The former army took the Huarong Road path. The generals said: "Where the smoke starts, there must be military horses, why do you take this road instead?" Cao said: "Don't you hear that there are clouds in the military book: 'Fiction is real, and reality is virtual.'" Zhuge Liang was resourceful, so he made people burn smoke in the mountains, so that our army did not dare to go from this mountain road, but he ambushed his troops on the road and waited. I have already decided, but I don't want to teach him to plan!" As a result, I happened to meet Zhuge Liang's men and horses, and it was unspeakably miserable to be killed.

Chu Yun did the opposite, after all, Liu Yao According to Liu Bi, he was familiar with military books, how could he not have seen the allusion of Cao Cao's defeat of Huarong Dao, Chu Yun deliberately asked people to light a bonfire on a road with a canyon, which was to make Liu Yao confused, and take the road with smoke like Cao Cao, Liu Yao would not dare. So he could only walk on the reed land, which was in Chu Yun's arms. Once miles of reeds are ignited, tens of thousands of troops may be wiped out, let alone more than a thousand people. Chu Yun also deployed the army on one road in the reed land, this is completely a gambling mentality with the opponent, on the other road, Chu Yun only deployed a few hundred people, Chu Yun didn't want to fight the opponent on this road at all, even if he won, then he will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

When Liu Yao heard that there was smoke rising from a section of the canyon, Liu Yao laughed: "Cao Mengde is a generation of heroes, I, Liu Yao, am fortunate to be able to get the same treatment as Cao Mengde, I am really fortunate to have three lives." ”

"General, how should we choose?" How could You Ziyuan not understand why Liu Yao was happy, what kind of person Cao Cao was, coercing the Son of Heaven and ordering the princes, and his master's ambition was not under Cao Mengde, so he was so excited to see someone treat him like this. But now is not the time to be happy? Don't you see Cao Cao laughed three times, laughed out of three ambushes, and almost died, although You Ziyuan was not superstitious, but he still felt that Liu Yao's omen of great joy was not good.

"General, I have thought of a foolproof plan, why don't we light the reeds first, and when the reeds are burned out, we will calmly cross the river and leave. Before You Ziyuan could finish speaking, Liu Yao stopped him.

"Commander You, this idea is a safe plan, I have also thought of it, but now the military heart is floating, and you have also seen that reed land, stretching for dozens of miles, once it is ignited, it will not stop if it does not burn for a few days, we are now encountering more and more deserters, they are all chasing and killing by the Xianbei Iron Cavalry behind, we have no time. Even if they didn't light the bonfire, I decided to take this road, because you and I have personally inspected the terrain, and the canyon is very short, and even if we encounter an ambush on this road, we will not be completely wiped out if we are damaged at most, and it will depend on the will of God to take the road in the reed field. You don't have to be suspicious, don't you Han people have a saying that Cao Mengdebai walks Huarong Road - there is no danger. After listening to this, You Ziyuan complained in his heart, he had only heard Cao Mengdebai walk Huarong Dao - no accident, and he had never heard of any danger, but he still felt that Liu Yao's analysis was correct.

When he was in the afternoon, Liu Yao's army was launched, all the deserters were killed, they had already caught hundreds of deserters, these guys had been frightened, and it was also a burden to take them, and Liu Yao was not a soft-hearted person. As soon as the army moved, Chu Yun had news, and this group of guys really came to the reed field, and Chu Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

"Does the governor need to transfer back the five hundred county soldiers and one hundred cavalry on that road in the canyon?" asked Chu Yun, who came to Guo Yong's side, Chu Yun thought about it again and again, but still didn't agree, although it seemed that everything was the same as planned, but Chu Yun always felt that something was wrong.

"Pass my order, let the people stationed in the valley be careful, if they encounter an enemy, block the mouth of the valley, and do not attack without permission. Chu Yun cautiously gave the order.

"Du Du, Xiaohua and Xiaomei have been sent out, how can we contact Zhao Hu?" Chu Yun was furious after hearing this, Xiaohua and Xiaomei were the first two carrier pigeons that Chu Yun trained according to the beast taming methods of the Beast God Mountain, and it was precisely because of them that the information exchange between Chu Yun's subordinates would be faster than ordinary people, but at this time, the two carrier pigeons were actually discharged, so how could his orders be transmitted?

"Send me someone to inform me quickly, and if something goes wrong, I want you to look good. Chu Yun said angrily, Guo Yong is not only the captain of the strongest escort team around him, but also equivalent to the liaison officer around him, and Guo Yong is of course responsible for this problem.

Half an hour later, Chu Yun felt that things were getting more and more wrong, the other party was a cavalryman, why hadn't he arrived for so long.

"Fire, it's on fire. Chu Yun stood up, the thick smoke billowing from the reeds in front of him was obviously ignited, and Chu Yun obviously didn't give the order, Chu Yun knew that he had been fooled.

"Pass my order, all the cavalry gather and go with me to support Zhao Hu immediately, and all the infantry will be led by Fang Dashan and rush as fast as possible. Guo Yong, did you give Zhao Hu the order I just had?" Chu Yun looked at Guo Yong.

"Governor, half an hour ago, I sent three people to send them quickly, and now the smoke is billowing here, and the carrier pigeons dare not fly back, so I can only hope that they will be in time. Guo Yong knew that his master attached great importance to military regulations, so how could he dare to slack off.

"Hmph, let's go. Chu Yun immediately rushed towards the canyon with a cavalry of more than nine hundred people.
