After Murong Ba left, Murong Ke looked at the south bank of Zhangshui, his heart was full of joy before victory, as if victory had been firmly grasped in his hands.

"Report, general, did you find an abnormality in the Jin army camp on the other side?" Just when Murong Ke was extremely happy, a junior colonel hugged his fists and reported.

"What's so unusual about the Jin army camp?" Murong Ke asked.

The little colonel hugged his fists and said: "General Qiyu, according to the observation of the scouts in recent days, the main force of the Jin army always rests in the camp during the day and comes out to move out at night, isn't this abnormal." ”

When Murong Ke heard this, he was slightly surprised in his heart, paused, and said softly: "In recent days, our army has also been active at night, maybe the Jin army thinks that our army will launch a surprise attack at night, so let the soldiers go out day and night!" There's nothing to worry about. After speaking, he turned around and returned to the Chinese army's tent.

Perhaps because he was too confident in himself, Murong Ke actually ignored the abnormality that happened in the Jin army's camp, and took it for granted that this abnormality was normal, and did not pay too much attention, and this would inevitably lead him to pay a heavy price.

In the Jin army camp on the south bank of the Hezhang Ferry, Hua An was reading the book of soldiers in the Chinese army's tent, and a small colonel rushed in and hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, something is abnormal in the Yan army camp. ”

When Hua An heard this, he hurriedly put down the military book in his hand, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with the Yan army camp?" ”

The little colonel hugged his fists and said: "Back to the king, I don't know why, the main force of the Yan army suddenly all entered the camp tent to rest. ”

"Oh, the main force of the Yan army has all entered the camp to rest?" Hua'an heard this. was slightly surprised, and then understood that the main force of the Yan army must have acted at night.

"Immediately send an order, let the generals of the army come to the big tent to gather." Hua An figured it out and immediately ordered.

When the colonel heard the order, he immediately received the order to leave, and it didn't take long for all the generals under his command to enter the big tent of the Chinese army.

Seeing that all the generals had arrived, Hua An pointed to the map hanging high in the big tent, and said, "Generals, if this king expects it to be good." It's after dark today. The main force of the Yan army will leave from the Hezhang ferry and go straight to the Yecheng ferry, so this king asks you to go back and prepare immediately. After dark. Immediately let the officers and men under his command assemble in the open space south of the camp. Wait for the order to depart at any time. ”

"Your Majesty, how did you know that the main force of the Yan army would suddenly leave the Hezhang Ferry tonight. Running to Yecheng Ferry? A subordinate general asked suspiciously.

Hua'an naturally didn't want his generals to carry out the order in a daze, so he explained: "A few days ago, this king got the news that on the north bank of the Yecheng ferry, the Yan soldiers prepared a large number of materials to build a pontoon bridge, which is enough to show that the main direction of the Yan army's attack is the Yecheng ferry, not the two wings of Hezhang and Bokou, in addition, the scouts have just reported, the main force of the Yan army on the other side has all entered the camp to rest, it seems that there is an important operation at night, if it is not a surprise attack on the Yecheng ferry, what other important actions can the Yan army have." After speaking, he looked at the generals under his command.

"The Yan army put up such a big shelf on the other side of the river, it turned out that it was to confuse our army." A ministry general said.

"Yan Jun is building pontoon bridges and building ships again, it seems that he has made a bloody investment!" Another general quipped.

"Your Majesty, no matter what the Yan army intends to do, our army must keep a close eye on every move of the main force of the Yan army to prevent fraud?" Wang San said cautiously.

Hua An nodded and said softly: "That's natural, this king has sent multiple scouts to closely monitor every move of the main force of the Yan army, as long as the main force of the Yan army rushes to Yecheng Ferry tonight, our army can respond within half an hour." ”

"Your Majesty, I'll go back and prepare later." The generals answered, turned around and went to prepare.

After the generals left, Hua'an began to think repeatedly in his mind, imagining what might happen tonight, and how to deal with it after various situations appeared.

"Report, Wang, the Yecheng ferry has just sent back the news that a team of thousands of Yan troops appeared in the woods on the north bank of the ferry, and the intention is unknown." A small colonel entered the big tent of the Chinese army and reported with his fists clenched.

Hearing this, Hua An thought for a moment, and suddenly realized that the mission of the thousands of Yan soldiers was likely to build a pontoon bridge in secret after dark, so that when the main force of the Yan army arrived at the Yecheng ferry port on the two roads, the pontoon bridge of the ferry was just set up, so that the main force of the Yan army could quickly cross the pontoon bridge and launch a surprise attack on Yecheng, and after capturing Yecheng, concentrate the main force of soldiers and horses to attack the left and right flanks respectively, so that a huge victory can be achieved.

Thinking of this, Hua An suddenly understood that Murong Ke divided his troops into two wings, not only with the intention of attacking the east and the west, but also at the same time, after crossing the Zhangshui, he could also carry out various tactics to break the Jin and Wei coalition forces, such a plan to kill two birds with one stone, Hua An often thought that if he hadn't discovered this conspiracy and sent a large number of scouts into the dense forest on the north bank of the Yecheng ferry to investigate carefully, maybe he would have really fallen for the scheme, and the consequences would naturally be very unimaginable.

Fortunately, God has eyes and allows him to see through Murong Ke's conspiracy, so that he can plan and counteract Murong Ke.

Hua'an's plan was to let tens of thousands of Yan army strikers cross Zhangshui, and then quickly cut off the pontoon bridge, and then personally led tens of thousands of elite cavalry to kill, and the tens of thousands of forward soldiers and horses that the Yan army had already crossed the river were severely damaged, or even completely annihilated, so that the Yan State's southward ambition would be greatly defeated.

In order to make his plan go smoothly, Hua'an immediately sent his henchmen to order the 10,000 reserve regiments left behind at the Yecheng ferry to not act rashly when they found out that the Yan army was secretly building a pontoon bridge, so that the Yan soldiers could rest assured and boldly build a pontoon bridge, so as to realize the plan to lure the Yan army's forward to cross the Zhangshui, and in addition, let the reserve corps prepare more than a dozen small wooden boats filled with flammable materials, so that they could use the burning huge flames to cut off the pontoon bridge built by the Yan army.

After all the orders had been given, Hua An returned to the back tent, rested, and stored for the night's actions.

A few hours later, the sky gradually darkened, and at the Yan army camp on the north bank of the Hezhang ferry, the Yan army soldiers began to get up and immediately assembled inside and outside the camp.

Just as the soldiers of the Yan army began to assemble, the Jin army scouts who were ambushed around the Yan army camp immediately returned to the south bank and reported the abnormal behavior of the Yan army to Hua'an.

"Fourth brother, the whole army has been assembled and can go." After all the soldiers of the Yan army were assembled, Murong Ba shouted for his life.

Murong Ke raised his head and glanced at the south bank of the ferry, and when he saw that the Jin army camp was normally lit, he nodded and ordered: "All the soldiers and horses, set off immediately, drive!" After giving the order, he rode his horse and ran towards the Yecheng ferry.

The soldiers of the Yan Army, under the leadership of the main general Murong Ke, quietly left the camp and rushed towards the Yecheng ferry at the fastest speed.

On the south bank of the Yecheng Ferry, after dark, the generals of the Jin Army began to gather the soldiers and horses under their command, and brought the soldiers and horses under their command to a large open space south of the camp, ready to obey Hua'an's orders and march towards the Yecheng Ferry.

Hua An naturally got up early, and stood on the shore of the ferry, waiting for the news from the north shore.

Soon, a scout drove a small boat and quietly sailed to the south bank, saw Hua An, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the main force of the Yan army is assembling in the camp, and it seems that there is a heavy action." ”

"Got it, let's find out." Hua An ordered.

At this moment, Hua'an was more sure of his judgment, the Yan army assembled after dark, obviously to attack the Yecheng ferry, so as to realize the dream of a breakthrough in the center, however, just in case, Hua'an had to wait until the Yan army officially set off, and then lead the main army to reinforce in the direction of Yecheng.

"Report, Wang, the main force of the Yan army has left the camp and is heading due east." It didn't take long for another scout to cross Zhangshui and report to Hua'an the latest situation of the Yan army.

Knowing that the Yan army was really running towards the Yecheng ferry, Hua'an was completely relieved, at this moment, the main force of the Yan army had already set off for half an hour, and he must immediately lead the main force of the cavalry under his command to reinforce the Yecheng ferry.

Hua An stepped on his war horse, ran to the position where the army was assembled, and ordered loudly: "Soldiers, set off immediately, drive ......" After speaking, he rode his horse and galloped towards the direction of Yecheng Ferry.

Under the order of Hua'an, the main cavalry of the 70,000 Jin army left only 1,000 men and horses to defend the camp, and the main force all went to Yecheng Ferry to reinforce it.

At this moment, on the north bank of Yecheng Ferry, more than 1,000 Yan soldiers are stepping up to build pontoon bridges, in order to allow the main army to quickly cross the pontoon bridges, Yan soldiers with 300 people as a team, at the same time to build three pontoon bridges.

In order to reduce the probability of being discovered, these three pontoon bridges are all built a few miles upstream from the core area of the ferry, and there is no Jin army camp tent on the opposite bank here, so it is difficult to be found, unless there are soldiers patrolling the Jin army passing in this direction, it is possible to find it.

In fact, the soldiers of the Jin Army Reserve Corps who stayed behind, after receiving Hua'an's instructions, strengthened the patrol of the upstream and downstream areas, and soon found the Yan soldiers who were building a pontoon bridge, but the Jin army patrol acted according to the instructions of the general, and did not act rashly, but quietly reported to the main general.

The chief general of the Jin army learned that the soldiers of the Yan army began to secretly build a pontoon bridge, so he personally went to investigate, and after confirming the situation, he immediately ordered the soldiers in the camp to get up, and according to Hua'an's order, let all the soldiers ambush outside the camp, turning the brightly lit camp into an empty camp.

A few hours later, the main force of 200,000 troops of the Yan army arrived at the Yecheng ferry port and successfully joined the army at the position where the pontoon bridge was built.

Looking at the three pontoon bridges that are about to be built, the hearts of Murong Ke and the generals under his command are extremely happy, at this moment, as long as the 200,000 soldiers and horses under their command cross the pontoon bridge, Yecheng will be at their fingertips, and the Jin and Wei coalition forces that divide the two wings will also be broken by themselves, and the key to the domination of the Great Yan Kingdom will be tonight.
