Bai Jinguang asked: "Is the area around the enemy camp clear?" Are there ambushes or outposts? ”

The scout replied: "The subordinates and others were mixed in the rout, and they didn't notice the situation around the camp, but the subordinates and others fled into the camp with those routs and found that the camp was empty, and the tens of thousands of troops in Buliu Guli were gone, and the subordinates felt that something was wrong, so they immediately sneaked back and reported!" ”

Bai Jinguang was quite surprised: "Empty camp? Where did the tens of thousands of troops of Buliu Guli go? ”

No one answered him, Bai Jinguang pondered in his heart, although Buliu Guli lost some people during the day, plus some of the losses just now, he only lost 7,000 people at most, and there were 42,000 or 3,000 people! His strength is not damaged, it is impossible for him to escape back to Pingcheng, right? Escaping back to Pingcheng is just a matter of survival!

Bai Jinguang is now worried that Buliu Guli will hide again with a large group of men and horses and wait for the opportunity to move, he knows very well that the enemies facing each other are not terrible, what is terrible are those enemies who are hiding in the shadows and launching a fatal blow to you at any time.

Thinking of this, Bai Jinguang immediately ordered: "You go back and immediately explore the radius of twenty miles around the Buliu Guli camp, don't miss any places, and report to this general at dawn!" ”

"Yes!" The scout clenched his fists and agreed, mounted his horse and quickly left.

Bai Jinguang said to Liang Yi again: "Ben will urge the brothers to speed up and clean up the battlefield here, you go and report to the king!" ”

"Yes!"

Liang Yi quickly returned to the camp with two soldiers fighting horses, and saw Zhao Junsheng who was meditating, Liang Yi saw Zhao Junsheng sitting cross-legged in his regular clothes with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep and did not dare to disturb.

Zhao Junsheng slowly opened his eyes, "Second brother, have all the enemy troops attacking our army's camp been solved?" ”

Liang Yi then clenched his fists and said: "Big brother, there are 3,000 cavalry of the enemy army who came to harass our camp, General Bai and I sent people to follow them when they retreated after the attack, and carried out a surprise attack when they converged, destroying more than 1,600 enemies, the scouts fled to the northwest in the rout, and found their camp in Majing Village, thirty miles away, and the scouts who mixed into the camp found that the camp was actually an empty camp, but in terms of the size of the camp, it was a camp of 50,000 people!" ”

Zhao Junsheng said in a calm tone: "That is to say, the brigade of Buliu Guli is gone!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Junsheng thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I know, you go back and send scouts to continue to investigate, and explore the surroundings of Buliu Guli's camp clearly!" ”

"Little brother retires!"

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while, and shouted outside: "Someone!" ”

Wei Jing walked in and hugged his fists: "Father-in-law!" ”

"Go and call all the generals and officers of the army, they must also want to know the state of the war!"

"Yes!" Wei Jing hugged his fists and left after agreeing.

In less than a moment, the generals of the various armies and the officers accompanying the army came to the tent in turn.

Zhao Junsheng looked at the generals and officials and said: "Lone to inform you, there are 3,000 cavalry who came to disturb our army's camp, and they have been defeated by Bai Jinguang and Liang Yi's troops, they sent scouts to flee all the way to the northwest in the rout, and saw Buliu Guli's camp in Majing Village, thirty miles away, and successfully mixed into the camp, but they found that the camp that was enough to hold 50,000 cavalry was an empty camp, with only a very small number of troops, that is to say, the tens of thousands of troops of Buliu Guli disappeared from our sight again, What do you think about this? ”

Fu Zhan, the general of the left army, stood up and said: "Could it be that the 3,000 cavalry that attacked was just an appetizer, and what Bu Liuguli really wanted to do was to attack our army's camp on a large scale?" After all, after the cavalry that came to attack and harassed was defeated by our army, according to common sense, the vigilance of our soldiers will decrease, and it will be easier for Buliu Guli to lead the army to sneak attack again! ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded after hearing this: "I don't rule out this possibility!" Where is Wei Jing? ”

Wei Jing walked in from outside the tent and clenched his fists and said, "The minister is here!" ”

"You take people to inspect the guard posts on the periphery of the camp, and make sure that the guard posts are on duty and have been on duty normally!"

"Yes!" Wei Jing clenched his fists and agreed to turn around and leave.

At this time, Yuan He stood up and said: "General Gao Xu has already defeated Gao Liu, General Gao Xiu has captured Huguan and besieged Shangdang, the pressure on Buliu Guli is very great, has he already divided his troops to deal with the two generals Gao Xiu and Gao Xu?" ”

Zhao Junsheng shook his head: "It's unlikely, now that my army of fifty or sixty thousand is here, if he divides his troops, he will only lose even more!" ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Cui Hao, "What does Mr. Cui think about this matter?" ”

Cui Hao thought for a while and shook his head and said, "There is too little news to judge!" ”

Zhao Junsheng had no choice but to ask the generals and officials to go back to rest, and explained that they should be vigilant at night in case the enemy attacked the camp.

At dawn, the scout returned to report on the situation around the enemy camp, Zhao Junsheng thought about it after getting the report, and ordered Bai Jinguang and Liang Yi to lead 3,000 cavalry to attack the remnants of the enemy camp's Buliu Lone Dragon City.

The scouts sent by Buliu Gulongcheng learned that the 3,000 cavalry of the cadre army were coming, and immediately ordered the men and horses to retreat to the northeast.

"King Qiqi, the remnants of the enemy camp did not engage General Bai, and fled to the northwest, according to the investigation of his subordinates, the person who led the troops was Bu Liuguli's eighth brother Bu Liugu Longcheng!"

Zhao Junsheng asked Lu Shuang: "Is there any news from the scouts sent by our army?" Have you found out the location of the main force of Buliu Guli? ”

Lu Shuang replied: "No news has come yet!" ”

At this time, Cui Hao seemed to think of something, his eyes flashed, and he said to Zhao Junsheng: "King, the minister thinks that the black-clothed guards should take action and let their people probe the news of the surrounding towns to see if there is any trace of the main force of Buliu Guli!" ”

Zhao Junsheng thought about it and felt that it made sense, and said to Lu Shuang: "You go to Lu Xuanbo, convey Lone's order to him, and let the black-clothed guards in the surrounding cities explore the traces of Buliu's Guli army!" ”

"Yes!"

Since there was no news of the Buliu Guli army, Zhao Junsheng did not dare to act rashly, so he could only send people to send news to Gao Xu and Gao Xiu respectively, so that they could be more vigilant, and at the same time, they continued to send detective and detective posts to increase the search area, and they were almost ready to carry out a dragnet investigation.

It wasn't until two days later that the news finally came.

Lu Xuanbo received the news and immediately came to see Zhao Junsheng, who was discussing with the generals and officials of the army at this time.

"King Qiqi, the news came from the black-clothed guards in Pingcheng, Buliu Guli had already led the army back to Pingcheng two days ago, and withdrew in the direction of Yunzhong the night before yesterday, the Pingcheng Palace has been emptied, and the grain, grass, materials, armor and ordnance in Pingcheng have also been moved, and there are only 3,000 people stationed in Pingcheng at present!"

Everyone in the tent looked at each other when they heard the news.

Zhao Junsheng remembered something at this time, and said with a serious face: "How did the Pingcheng Black-clothed Guard do it, why didn't you report such important news earlier?" ”

Lu Xuanbo clenched his fists and said: "King, it's not that the minister wants to speak for the black-clothed guards of Pingcheng, when Buliu Guli led the army back to Pingcheng, the black-clothed guards in the city knew the news, but they didn't know what happened specifically, so they had to find out." On the one hand, it is easy to be exposed, and on the other hand, if the news is not clear, it is easy to waste resources, and our army wants to find the traces of the Buliu Guli army It was only two days ago that the news was transmitted to the black-clothed guards in Pingcheng, and the minister thought that they could not be blamed for this matter! ”

Zhao Junsheng was silent for a few seconds after listening to Lu Xuanbo's words, and waved his hand: "From now on, the black-clothed guard will act urgently, and the news of Liuguli will be reported quickly, and special channels will be used for important news, and secondary news can be sent by fast horses." In short, during the Great War, Lone knew the news of Buliu's Guli army every day! ”

"Yes!"

After Lu Xuanbo left, Zhao Junsheng clenched his fist with a gloomy face and smashed it on the imperial case, "I didn't expect that Buliu Guli would lead the army back to Pingcheng and retreat to the clouds!" ”

At this time, Cui Hao said: "King, Buliu Guli is only afraid that there will be a master to guide you!" ”

Zhao Junsheng was stunned: "What did Mr. Cui say?" ”

Cui Hao said: "From the beginning of Tuoba Hun to Tuoba Junjin slander to get rid of Buliu Guli, Buliu Guli has been under the influence of us, according to our plan to raise troops to the north, attack Yanmen Pass, Pingcheng, and forced the emperor to death, and also killed Tuoba Hun He lost from the beginning, and he himself is not very clear about all this, if he wants to turn the tables, the only way is to get rid of the secret control of my Qianguo!" Buliu Guli has seen this person, and the minister thinks that if it weren't for the guidance of a master by his side, he would never have noticed the mystery in it! ”

"Giving up Pingcheng is reluctant for Buliu Guli, and the loss is also very large, which will cause the morale of the generals and officials under his command to be low, and the officials and generals who follow him must be panicked, but as long as he survives this hurdle, the crisis will be lifted!"

Zhao Junsheng understood, after Buliu Guli retreated to the clouds, he must be guarding various passes, and most of these passes are not dangerous, and it is unlikely that they will be broken in a short period of time.

What's more important is that the little emperor Tuoba Huang is in the hands of Buliu Guli, this little guy is the son of Emperor Taiwu Tuoba Tao, his age is not small, not too big, he is eleven years old this year, and he will grow into an adult in another four or five years, and the current princes in the north, such as Wei Dependent, Leather Leopard, Xi Juan, Lai Daqian and others are all old generals under Emperor Taiwu, for the sake of the face of the dead Emperor Taiwu, will they be loyal to Tuoba Huang?

Zhao Junsheng thought of this and asked Lu Xuanbo: "Is there still a black-clothed guard beside Buliu Guli?" ”

"There used to be one, that is, he was moved to raise troops on the side of Qingjun, after Bu Liu Guli captured Pingcheng, he became suspicious, this person has been killed, and there is no one in the black-clothed guard around Bu Liu Guli at present, but there are still a few people in the officials and the army!"

After hearing this, Zhao Junsheng immediately said: "Tell them to find out who is more trusted by Bu Liuguli in the afternoon!" ”
