Chapter 909: The enemy and we collude to endanger Beifu
Xincheng, Murongchui’s old camp.
In the empty camp with a radius of more than ten miles, discarded baggage is everywhere, many large boxes have been opened, and there is nothing inside. However, cloth and copper coins can be seen everywhere in this empty camp, as well as discarded leather armor.
They are also everywhere, indicating how hurried the troops here were when they evacuated.
Liu Yi stood in front of a stove, his face as sinking as water. He Wuji stood beside him and said thoughtfully: "Did Murong Chui really evacuate in a hurry? It seems that the camp is very well-organized, but
Such a mess is completely unlike his style."
Liu Yi smiled and waved his hand: "I said, he retreated in such a hurry, not because of our pressure, but because the Ding Ling people went to his hometown behind. Once he loses places like Zhongshan and Longcheng, then
There was no way to retreat, so he had no choice but to take risks and evacuate. Moreover, it seemed that he personally led a small number of cavalry to go first, followed by a large group of infantry. Military discipline was chaotic. It was obvious that many people had secretly divided the baggage and were about to desert.
."
He Wuji nodded: "We should send sentries to follow the enemy to detect their numbers."
Liu Yi pointed to the stove in front of him and said: "I don't think this is necessary. Sometimes, inconspicuous things can reveal useful information. All you need to do is follow the Yan army and count their stoves.
There are ten people in the stove group. If a large number of Yan army soldiers fled, the number of stoves will definitely tell us these things."
He Wuji's eyes lit up: "You can still calculate the number of troops in this way."
Liu Yi nodded: "Gu Zhiming will use this method. After all, Murong Chui has not read our Central Plains military books and does not know this. Since General Yingyang asked us to follow the enemy and detect their movements, then we will use
With this method, Murong Chui now has about 7,000 stoves in this camp, which means he has 70,000 troops. I think his next camp will not exceed 5,000 stoves."
He Wuji smiled and said: "Okay, let's follow up and have a look. Xile, this time Ji Nu is not here, so you have a chance to show off."
A cold light flashed in Liu Yi's eyes: "Perhaps the method of joining forces with Ding Ling to steal Murong Chui's retreat was suggested by Liu Yu. This guy will always be unexpected, but we can't fall behind him this time.
Wuji, give the order to the whole army to assemble immediately and continue to advance!"
Forty miles northeast of Xincheng.
A long marching column with no end as far as the eye can see, four columns, and heavy vehicles traveling along the road. From time to time, a large vehicle got stuck in a ditch on the roadside and was abandoned. Under the scoldings and insults of the officers,
Under the waving of the whip, the soldiers' faces were full of fear. They carried spears and baggage on their backs and marched forward. No one would have thought that the Yan army that had been roaming Hebei in the past few years would also become a leader.
so.
Murong Chui was dressed in leather armor, dressed like an ordinary primary school student, with a blue cloth mask, and was riding a thin horse. No one could tell that this rider was actually the commander of the entire army, and beside him, Murong Lan was disguised as Rong Cheng.
He picked up a middle-aged man with a yellow face and walked alongside him.
More than a dozen sergeants ran away from a cart that had overturned on the side of the road. They carried large and small baggage on their backs. They took off their military uniforms as they ran, waiting for their figures to disappear in the distance.
When we were in the endless fields, we were already dressed like ordinary people.
Murong Lan's brows wrinkled: "Brother, although we say we are cheating to lure the enemy, are we really just watching our subordinates flee like this without restraining them? If we keep running like this, I'm afraid half of them will desert."
Murong Chui smiled slightly and looked calm: "What I want are useful warriors, not the mob who come to cling to me because of my great power. These people are not happy when they come, and they are not regretted when they go. There is no need for them in the war anyway, they can perform
It has to be more realistic, it won’t do me any harm.”
Murong Lan sighed and looked to the rear, towards the new city: "Are you really sure that the Jin army will catch up? Liu Laozhi still seems to be cautious now, and he did not pursue in a hurry. He just let Liu Yi lead 3,000 troops to stay far away.
If we follow closely, our attack may not be effective."
Murong Chui laughed: "If Liu Laozhi is really not moved, he should go to Yecheng now. He seems to be unhurried, but in fact he wants to make contributions more than anyone else. All he has to wait for is Liu Laozhi.
It’s just the information that Yi gave him to confirm.”
Murong Lan smiled and said: "But Liu Yi didn't send sentries to follow us. He doesn't know our specific strength, so how can he report it? I think no matter how courageous Liu Yi is, he wouldn't dare to lie about the military situation."
Murong Chui smiled and shook his head: "Liu Yi didn't send sentries or follow us because he thought he could detect the number of our troops. However, he still overestimated himself and judged by looking at the stove.
The method of army quantity existed in the Central Plains more than a thousand years ago, how could I not know about it?!"
Murong Lan's brows relaxed and she said with a smile: "It turns out that I have already been in Big Brother's calculations. I didn't expect that there is such a method of calculating military strength."
Murong Chui nodded: "Yes, so I will use the trick and let the soldiers escape. This will make Liu Yi and Liu Laozhi believe it is true. What's more, I still have friends from the south to help me achieve my goal."
Murong Lan's expression changed: "Brother, do you have any new friends in the Jin Dynasty?"
Murong Chui smiled slightly: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Since the cooperation between the Xie family and us has broken down, I need new friends. Are you right, Prince Huan?"
Murong Lan followed the sound and saw a person walking slowly out of the ten or so cavalry behind Murong Chui. He took off the mask on his face. Huan Xuan's sinister smile appeared in front of Murong Lan: "Princess Lan
, I never thought that you and I would meet under such circumstances."
Murong Lan's horse suddenly neighed, and seemed to feel the master's great surprise. Murong Lan pulled left and right to stabilize the horse, and the more than ten mounted guards immediately dispersed, separating the three of them from the marching queue.
Murong Chui looked at Huan Xuan and said calmly: "Prince Huan, you have worked hard all the way. Without your information, we would not have been able to make such an arrangement."
Murong Lan gritted her teeth and looked directly at Huan Xuan: "Aren't you in Chang'an? Why are you here?"
Huan Xuan smiled and said: "Isn't Princess Lan also in Chang'an with Liu Yu? Isn't she also here now? In fact, you should thank me. If my friends and I hadn't helped to leave Liu Yu behind, this
It would be dangerous to answer him."
Murong Lan said bitterly: "No wonder Liu Yu can't go into battle. It turns out you were the one behind it. But I'm very surprised. How could Xie Xuan be influenced by you instead of Liu Yu?"
