"It's different."

After entering Pingcheng, Lou Jing's feeling became stronger!

Lou Jingnai is a native of Langya, as a fugitive, in Cao's army as a servant of the public opinion, because of the plan to make Peng Yue and Long and wary of each other, so that Jiaodong can breathe, promoted to the officer, and then Chen Ping was in the picture, became the county guard history.

After Heifu destroyed Chu Dingqi, Chen Ping stayed in Chu to govern Surabaya, Donghai, Jiujiang and other counties, and he recommended Lou Jing, who had sent envoys to Yan and Dai to weave a "Fusu encirclement network" for Chen Ping, as a pawn and guest, as Heifu's adviser to deal with northern affairs.

In mid-November, Lou Jing entered Daibei with Heifu's army, Feihukou, and he walked behind with the mules, horses, and oxen of the baggage brigade, and the wagons and wooden oxen and horses of the brigade were filled with food, hay, tents, and clothing, and made full preparations for fighting on behalf of the land—but it was only enough for a month for the 100,000 troops.

Daidi is the Datong Basin of later generations, this basin trending in the northeast and southwest, basically with the Sanggan River as the axis, the upper reaches are Yanmen County, the middle reaches are Dai County, and the downstream is Shanggu County.

Because Han Guang has withdrawn his soldiers, the army was almost unhindered in Feihukou, and captured the capital of the "Dai State", Dai County did not make much effort, and most of the people in Dai were Zhao immigrants who moved in for hundreds of years, they constituted the main force in Li Mu's army, and also supported Gongzi Jia, after the fall of Zhao State, he still traced back to Zhao Sheji, and hated the Qin people.

But when Han Guang was in a hurry to go to the hospital and borrowed troops from the Xiongnu, the situation changed suddenly, compared with the Xiongnu who plundered Daibei all the year round, in the eyes of the generations, the Qin army, which was originally hateful, suddenly became clear-eyed.

Coupled with Han Guang's policy of abandoning land, the generations who have always been brave have taken action, like overthrowing the Qin officials two years ago, killing Han Guang's cronies, and surrendering to Heifu on behalf of the county......

The reason for this is that in addition to being harassed by Hulu for more than a month in the past month, and hating the Huns more than the Qin people, the generations welcomed Heifu so much, but also because the grandson of Li Mu, who they revered, Li Zuoche, the hero of the Zhao people who grew up in Daidi, was in the Heifu army.

Li Zuoche spared no effort to recruit and surrender the heroes of Daijun for Heifu, and even communicated with the local clan for him to discuss the purchase of grain.

It's a pity that there is not much food left, and all the people in Dai County were taken away by the Xiongnu and Han Guang and headed west......

This means that the Qin army, which is difficult to transport food in the future, will either stop in moderation or have to fight quickly!

Xia Gong, who has always been known for his obscene and steady use of soldiers, chose the latter this time......

Xia Gong promised the people of Dai County that he would recover all the land of the three northern counties of Dai within a month and expel the Xiongnu.

Xia Gong also did what he said, and personally sent 30,000 elites to the west to pursue the Dai army and the Huns!

In the following cities of Sanggan, Dong'anyang, Yangwon, Gangshi, and Pingyi, the enemy put up a slight resistance, and under the personal command of Heifu, they all won the victory.

And the captured generations were interrogated to confess, Mao Dun took the south this time, mostly old and weak cavalry, driving horses, this is the real strength of the Xiongnu Da Danyu, so in Guangyang County, in the north of Dai, it is vulnerable......

So in the Heifu army, there were strategists who optimistically thought: "Presumably the Xiongnu have not recovered from the defeat many years ago, and many tribes are unwilling to serve, and they merged with Donghu two years ago, although Donghu is broken, but the Xiongnu must also be greatly injured!" ”

Everyone said that the Xiongnu could be broken, and the land could be restored, and the situation was very good.

But Lou Jing didn't think so, he only silently observed, secretly wondering that when they followed the 30,000 vanguard led by Heifu, left behind the large army still on the Sanggan River, and marched towards Pingcheng, which is said to be where Han Guang and Mao Dun were located, it snowed in the sky......

This is not the first snowfall in Daibei this winter, but it was only light snow at the beginning, although it was wet and cold, the army had sweaters and dog fur, and the clothes were well prepared, and they could still march easily.

But soon the snow grew heavier, the horses exhaled white air, the ground was covered with snow, the wind grew stronger, and the snowflakes flew all over the sky, and Hef's army became a group of snowmen, staggering through the ankle-deep snowdrifts.

Even if it was so difficult, in Pingcheng, they fought another victory, killing hundreds of Hu cavalry and capturing nearly a thousand! Even the grain was seized tens of thousands of stones!

And according to the prisoner's confession, Han Guang and Mao Dun were in the rout of the defeated army to the northeast!

Deep horseshoe prints lead along the north gate of Pingcheng to the northeast, where there are vast snowfields, large areas of bare broad-leaved forests, and some hills and hills.

Just when the three armies were agitated by this, and they were all clamoring for "beheading the head of Maodun and stepping on the court of the single", Lou Jing carefully inspected the captured Huns and found that most of them were old men with shaky teeth, tied to the snow, with their eyes closed, and a posture of resignation.

He was ordered by Chen Ping earlier to learn a little Xiongnu when he entered the dynasty, but he couldn't ask why, but the doubts in his heart became stronger and stronger!

So Lou Jing immediately went to find "Mr. Huangshi", who has been highly valued by Xia Gong recently!

It is said that this Mr. Huangshi took refuge in Xia Ping's Dingchen County, and was included in the Feather Wing Battalion as a strategist with the merit of Ding Chen, and I didn't hear that he had any outstanding merits, but after Chen Hui was promoted to the county guard of Dongjun, Xia Gong actually appointed Mr. Huang Shi as the chief officer of the Feather Wing Battalion, responsible for intelligence and military strategy!

No one has much opinion, with the end of the war, the status of the wing battalion is not as good as before, and the strategists and ministers who followed Xia Gong earlier are basically county guards who mix well, and those who mix poorly are not qualified.

Mr. Huang Shi is not in good health, because his face is full of scars, wearing a mask and a thick fur, he has been coughing during this winter march, but he has listened to Lou Jing's words very carefully.

"Since our army entered Daibei, it has won a big victory all the way along the way, and heard that the Huns are sleepy and lacking horses, weak cattle and sheep, and poor and poor, and now they have been defeated in successive battles, and their morale is low, and they want to flee out of the Great Wall, and the three armies all say that the Huns can be attacked!"

"But the servant thinks otherwise, the Huns have been in charge for more than ten years, recuperating in Mobei, the orphans and children have grown into warriors, and the horses have gradually multiplied, it is said that there are more than 100,000 people who lead the bow, only with such a strong strength, can they destroy Donghu in a battle!"

"After the elimination of Donghu, the Xiongnu got a larger grassland, and annexed the livestock of Donghu and other countries, plundered the craftsmen and people of the Central Plains in Shuofang, smelted copper and iron for them, and stole my saddle stirrup, which shows that the strength of the Xiongnu is not small."

According to Lou Jing's calculations, although it is impossible to bring all the more than 100,000 young and strong Hu people in the country this time, there are absolutely 40,000 or 50,000 horsemen of the Hun army......

"Now the two countries are fighting each other, such as the two people fighting, they should go all out with the blades in their hands, but the Huns are blindly showing weakness, this is not that the Huns have been defeated, but Mao Dun deliberately hides his strong men and fat cattle and horses, but seeing the old and weak and the livestock, it must be deliberately showing the weakness, and when the Wei army is light on the enemy's advance, the Fu Qi soldiers will compete for profit! Foolishly thought that the Huns could not be attacked. ”

Lou Jing understands the Huns, he knows that the Huns are extremely mobile, when it is advantageous, it is like a bird flying and gathering, thousands of troops and horses are whistling, and when it is unfavorable, it is like the wind blowing away and disappearing in an instant.

In Guangyang County, in the face of the mixed army formation and strong crossbow spears of the Qin army, after suffering a loss, he changed his tactics, did not stick to the city, did not do positional warfare with the Qin army, gave full play to the mobility of the cavalry, advanced if it was advantageous, and retreated if it was unfavorable, just to lure the Qin army's chariot and cavalry troops to pursue deeply, but to counterattack!

But after listening, Mr. Huang Shi's voice was hoarse: "Do you think that with the wisdom of Xia Gong, he fell for Mao Dun's strategy?" ”

Lou Jing bowed to Mr. Huangshi: "Don't dare, but if you hear a thousand thoughts of the wise, you will make a mistake; A fool thinks a thousand times, and he will get one. Since the snowfall, the number of people suffering from frostbite has been increasing day by day, and there are many southern soldiers, who are not accustomed to winter warfare, and must not rush forward at this time. ”

"But recently, Xia Gong has been tired of military affairs, and he has not seen us, and the servant wants to say this, and I hope that Mr. Huangshi can let me see him!"

"You're late."

Mr. Huang Shi shook his head: "Gong Xia has decided to send more than 10,000 people out of the city to pursue the Xiongnu lightly!" The soldiers have already done it, and it is too late to stop it! “

After speaking, he heard the neighing of people and horses outside Pingcheng, Lou Jing was shocked, and went out to take a look, but saw that the chariot cavalry troops had been accompanied by the warm morning sun, waving their troops north, and the army meandered out of the earthy yellow wall, like a long snake, it woke up prematurely, regardless of the cold outside, and hurriedly slipped into the snow.

The beat of drums and trumpets reverberated throughout the castle, the spear tips of the forest glittered in the sun, chariots and horses marched hard through the snow, and in the center of the procession were three flags held high.

The black dragon with the word "Qin" written in Lishu is edging Daxu.

There are embroidered with the words "set in one", and there is a military flag of a bronze eagle.

and the Wei Clan Tengu Banner, which was selected by the Xia Gong to represent their family, was no longer a little tengu guarding the White Deer Plain, but was changed to a great tengu that was devouring the moon......

Seeing these three flags, Lou Jing felt cold in his heart.

"I didn't expect that Xia Gong really attacked him!"

Followed by anger, he turned to Yellowstone, rebuke in his eyes.

"I heard that Xia Gong set up the wing camp to check and fill in the omissions, but now the corpse is a vegetarian meal, which is nothing, causing Xia Gong to be in danger as a daughter, Mr. Huangshi, this is your dereliction of duty!"

There are also those generals, Li Zuoche has lived in Daibei all the year round, how can he not see the dangerous tricks in it? But sat back and watched Xia Gong take risks, did he not persuade him, or did he do it on purpose?

But in the final analysis, it is because Xia Gong has become dislike to admonish since the destruction of Chu, and he is afraid that he will repeat the mistakes of Qin Shi Huangdi! Chen Ping's "perfect man" and "holy master" that he boasted about every day, have he finally been confused?

Lou stomped his feet respectfully: "The arrogant soldiers will be defeated!" I am afraid that in three days, Xia Gong and his generals will be surrounded by the Huns, Mr. Huangshi, for today's plan, is to prepare quickly and notify the follow-up army to support! If Xia Gong makes any mistakes, the world will be in chaos again! ”

When the time comes, where will he go?

Facing Lou Jing's anger, Huang Shi smiled.

"Lou Diancheng, come with me."

With doubts, following Mr. Huang Shi, Lou Jing entered the spacious house in Pingcheng, loose on the outside and tight on the inside, guarded by black-clothed guards.

The firewood crackled in the stove, and Lou Jing saw Li Zuoche sitting at the bottom of his head, looking at the map of Daibei with his brows, and his fingers wandering in several mountains northeast of Pingcheng.

And the black-faced man sitting behind the middle of the case, still holding a black piece of coal in his hand, was staring at it......

It's not Xia Gong, who else can it be!

Lou Jing was stunned.

"Xia Gong, isn't it just that Xia Gong has already led the soldiers out of the city in person......"

But he is also a smart man, and he reacted immediately and bowed to Heifu:

"Xia Gong really deserves to be the number one general in the world, if he is calculated! It's the ministers who are stupid and don't know Xia Gong's strange strategy! ”

Heifu put down the coal in his hand and raised his head: "Lou Jing, when the three armies are all impetuous and rash, you can stay sober, and you are worthy of Chen Ping's strong recommendation." ”

But Heifu secretly said in his heart:

"This Lou Jing still doesn't know me well enough."

"A person like me who loves himself (pa) should be strategizing and winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away, how can he rush forward like Xiang Tiedan?"
