Chapter 1132 Come to my senses

Yishui Riverside

The Yan army camp, with military flags everywhere, was much stronger than before.

Tuoba Hong, who had been walking in the grassland and desert for more than half a month, finally joined Zhou Weiran and others with 40,000 soldiers and horses. The Yan army by the Yishui River had already reached 200,000 people.

But the strange thing is that since Tuoba Hong arrived, the Liang army in Luoyun City has died down and has never sent troops to fight again.

After staying in the camp for two days, Tuoba Hong finally couldn't sit still anymore, stared at the map and asked in a deep voice:

"You two, there is no movement at all from the Liang army? Doesn't it look like a decisive battle is about to take place?"

There was no humility in Tuoba Hong's tone, he just looked like he was treating each other as equals.

In terms of official positions, it seems that Zhou Weiran and Wanyan Bi are both very powerful. One is the nominal king of the East Courtyard, and the other is in charge of the entire army.

However, the title of King of Dongting and Marshal of Dongting's army can only frighten and frighten the victims of the Northern Jin Dynasty, and the generals of the Yanrong clan do not take it seriously.

Especially a veteran military commander like Tuoba Hong, he never took Dongting seriously.

Zhou Weiran frowned slightly, hearing the accusation in his tone, and could only say helplessly:

"We are also curious about this matter. In the past few days, the Liang army has indeed been attacking frequently, and when it went too far, it would even force them in front of our Chinese army camp.

But these two days have indeed ceased, and even the scouts patrolling the sentries are no longer visible."

Wanyan Bi also nodded in agreement.

Because they were afraid of falling into the Liang Army's tricks, the Yan Army stayed behind closed doors for a while and refused to fight no matter how provocative the Liang Army was.

He Mu Dawu stood aside with his head lowered and said nothing. As he was not qualified enough to intervene, he could only pretend to be dead.

There were several other high-ranking generals in the tent, all of whom also remained silent.

"Is the Liang army fighting under the banner of the left and right cavalry armies?" Tuoba Hong asked with a frown.

"There are cavalry troops on the left and right, as well as the Liao Army." Zhou Weiran answered.

These days, three cavalry armies have been hanging around outside the Yan Army camp. They come in waves every day, sometimes with the left cavalry and sometimes with the right cavalry. It is really scary.

But Zhou Weiran and the others didn't know that although the banners were different, the soldiers were actually the same group of people.

Tuoba Hong's brows furrowed deeply: "Approximately how many people did Liang Jun dispatch at the most?"

Wanyan Bi thought for a moment and answered uncertainly: "About 20,000. The frequency of attacks is very high, but the number of people dispatched has never been very large."

"Around 20,000?"

Tuoba Hong's eyes suddenly bulged. It was ridiculous that a mere 20,000 people could scare the two most powerful people in the East Court so much that they dared not leave the camp.

"What if, I mean what if, the Liang Army, the left and right cavalry armies, and the Zhenliao Army are all from the same group? The flags can be changed, and so can the military uniforms!" Tuoba Hong said, suppressing the uneasiness in his heart.

He had been in the army the longest, and he had just arrived at the front line, so he looked at the problem from a different perspective than Zhou Weiran, so he pointed out the problem to the point.

"No, it's impossible." Zhou Weiran said blankly:

"The left and right cavalry did appear before. There are definitely more than 30,000 cavalry on the battlefield."

In the first battle when the Right Cavalry Army arrived, they did join forces with the Suppressing Liao Army. The total size was estimated to be around 50,000 to 60,000 people.

“You can still leave now that you’re here!”

Tuoba Hong said with some resentment: "We can mobilize our troops. It's not like the Liang army will just move when it comes! Maybe the left and right cavalry troops were really in Liaodong at the beginning, but are they still there now?"

Zhou Weiran and Wanyanbi suddenly woke up and looked at each other.

They have always been stuck in a fixed mindset, thinking about problems with the idea that the Liang army is going to encircle and annihilate them.

It has never been considered that the Liang army did not actually want to start a war in Liaodong, but was just spreading suspicion.

He Mu Dawu also had his pupils dilated, pretending to be shocked, but in fact he was very vigilant in his heart:

As expected, Tuoba Hong should not be underestimated, and he soon discovered the problem behind Liang Jun's operation.

"If the Liang army is spreading suspicion and deceiving our army into mobilizing, then their purpose can only be..."

He Mu Dawu finally cautiously interjected.

The three big bosses looked shocked. None of them were fools. All the troops and horses had been mobilized to Liaodong, so they had no choice but to take action against Beiliang.

Is it possible that the Liang army is going to fight in Beiliang? There is a prince and a prince there.

"Report!"

There was a hurried shout, and a figure walked into the big tent like a whirlwind.

The person who came looked haggard, was dirty, and was panting.

Zhou Weiran and Wanyanbi were stunned, wondering how the guard at the door let him in.

Unexpectedly, Tuoba Hong recognized the identity of the person at a glance. He was one of Mu Yunduankang's personal guards. He looked very familiar.

"What's going on?" Tuoba Hong had a vague premonition.

The visitor quickly took out a letter from his arms and handed it over respectfully:

"His Royal Highness the Prince's secret message, please read it personally to General Tuoba."

Several people were stunned, hearing this tone as if something big had happened.

Tuoba Hong slowly opened the letter, and after a casual glance, his figure trembled and he almost fell on the table.

"Bang~"

The kettle on the table fell to the ground, and water spilled everywhere.

Zhou Weiran asked subconsciously: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Among them, Zhou Weiran and Tuoba Hong had worked together the longest, and this was the first time he had seen this military commander acting so rude.

"Hoo~"

Tuoba Hong tried his best to calm down the fluctuations in his heart, tightly held the secret letter in his hand, then looked into the tent and said: "You guys go out first."

"I'll be waiting for you to leave!"

Hemu Dawu retreated in response. Naturally, these words were addressed to him and the other generals.

However, He Mu Dawu glanced at the frustrated Tuoba Hong when he exited. He was convinced that Liang Jun's plan had been completed, but he didn't know where Liang Jun's attack target was.

As the two of them exited the tent, Tuoba Hong handed the secret message to them, and the expressions of Zhou Weiran and Wanyan Bi also changed drastically in an instant.

"How, how is it possible?" Zhou Weiran murmured in disbelief.

What the letter said was of course the news of the defeat of Wuguan.

"Liang Jun, you are indeed insidious and cunning." Wanyanbi tried hard to calm the beating of his heart.

"His Royal Highness is fine. It is a blessing among misfortunes." Tuoba Hong said coldly, not forgetting to glance at Zhou Weiran and the other two.

If they hadn't hurriedly called for help, this defeat might have been avoided.

Zhou Weiran's face turned red and he lowered his head and said nothing. Naturally, he knew that he was in the wrong.

Wanyan Bi, on the other hand, said in a deep voice: "Then what's next?"

Tuoba Hong waved the secret message in his hand:

"In compliance with His Highness's military order, the news of the defeat is strictly sealed. Only three of us and I can know about it at this time!

The army immediately packed up and retreated slowly, retreating fifty miles to set up camp!"

"good!"

They both nodded.
Chapter completed!
