Deng Yan was very confident. He calculated almost everything, but he didn't think about what to do if he couldn't beat the Pei family army. Perhaps in his mind, there was no word failure. He can't blame him. If you want to blame, you can only blame She Chongming and An Bangyan, Kong Youde, and Lao Huihui Ma Shouying. It was these people who suffered a crushing defeat again and again, and even died and even died, that Deng Yan's almost as confident as he was.

Weakness and ignorance have never been an obstacle to survival, arrogance is. The men in the army have always been straightforward. It is a turn to be a fool. Deng Yan is not as good as Xu Shirou. After Deng Yan and Xu Shirou agreed on the terms, they didn't talk much nonsense. They were full of confidence and fantasized about the dream of returning to their hometown in the future. When they returned to the army, they directly ordered the rear team and the entire army went north to attack the Pei family army.

The soldiers still had absolute trust in him. Although it was completely contrary to the order just now, with a command, there was no doubt, so they turned around and headed north and headed towards the unknown front.

The Pei family army had been staying thirty miles north of Nanyang City for a whole day. During this period, the army was naturally not idle. All spies had been scattered. With the Pei family army camp as the center, within a radius of 100 miles, the changes in every grass and tree could not escape Pei Xiaoer's control.

"Go, give this document to Liu Xianchun of the Later Army and tell him to deal with it as soon as possible without any delay." Pei Xiaoer handed a document that had just been processed to Tian Shengnian on the side.

Due to his excellent performance on the Nanyang City Tower, Tian Shengnian has now been promoted to the personal military camp by Pei Xiaoer and under the command of Hu Shi'an. Speaking of the current personal military camp, it is also a tragic fate. According to the weaving personal military camp, there should be at least one thousand people, and at its peak, it reached more than three thousand people.

However, later, Pei Xiaoer obtained a large number of military and horses in Shanxi. While equipping the cavalry battalion, he also equipped the personal military battalion with a large number of war horses. Later, due to frequent wars and insufficient military strength of the cavalry battalion, this group of troops was extremely important. Therefore, whether Pei Xiaoer transferred the personal military battalion to the cavalry battalion, at the beginning, it was only seconded, but in the end they were all incorporated into the cavalry battalion, which resulted in only 300 people around him.

Since entering Henan, Pei Xiaoer has slept in the military camp almost all day long, and there are large troops he brought out by himself. They are extremely well-behaved, so the security needs are not so urgent. Just wait. If you have a fixed base in the future, the size of the personal military camp will be replenished.

Tian Shengnian did not dare to neglect it. After receiving the official documents, he quickly retreated and went to find Liu Xianchun, the army army.

"General, this plan is indeed very clever. When we leave, we will immediately drive away the Sichuan army in Nanyang City. After the Sichuan army goes away, we will attack Nanyang again. It will be easy for us to attack Nanyang." Qiao Chun said with a smile.

"Well, at the beginning, I just wanted to try it. Unexpectedly, the group of civil servants in Nanyang City were so short-sighted. They could not wait to drive away the Sichuan army. It seems that I really look down on them." Pei Xiaoer put down his pen and smiled. He used a little trick to make the Nanyang officers and soldiers start to split, and removed the main force of Nanyang officers and soldiers. To be honest, Pei Xiaoer was also a little satisfied.

"However, Bei Zhi still suggested that our army should continue to retreat north, so that the civil servants in Nanyang City can be put down even more and also make them step by step urging the Sichuan army to leave." Qiao Chun said.

"Well, I'm just thinking that, today the army has rested for a day, and we will continue to set up camp and head north tomorrow morning."

At this time, Hu Shi'an's voice came from outside the tent, "General, our spy is back, right outside."

"Oh? I'm going to find him and let him in," Pei Xiaoer ordered.

Not long after, a spy with exhaustion on his face walked in, came to Pei Xiaoer, and saluted: "General, we discovered the movements of the Sichuan Army. The Sichuan Army did not go south, but passed by Nanyang and went straight north."

Pei Xiaoer raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, "Do you know why Deng Yan did such a strange move?"

"When the general returned to the general, Deng Qi led the Sichuan Army to the south, the prefect of Nanyang stopped him in a sedan chair. The two sides had discussed in a pavilion for nearly an hour. It was this long talk that Deng Qi changed his attention and came to our army north. He was incompetent and did not find out what they had discussed in the pavilion."

"What else can it be? It's just a coercion and inducement. It's not your fault for this. Go back first and continue to stare at Deng Qi's troops. If they have any abnormal movements, come and report it immediately." Pei Xiaoer said.

After the spy left, Qiao Chun said, "General, it seems that Xu Shirou must have offered a price that Deng Yan could not refuse. Deng Yan sold himself to Xu Shirou."

"I don't care what deal they have in the end. As long as Deng Qi dares to go north to pursue our army, then he will not be able to return safely." Pei Xiaoer lined up on the table with one hand and made a bang.

"Then we are here to wait for the effort. As long as Deng Yan dares to come, we will let them come and go." Qiao Chun suggested.

"No, we are not here. It is still too close to Nanyang. We are fighting Deng Qi here. I am afraid that once Deng Qi finds that the battle is unfavorable, he will probably flee directly to Nanyang. Once they enter Nanyang City, we are fighting Nanyang, and it may take a little more effort. So, I decided to continue to retreat tomorrow, it depends on whether Deng Qi dares to chase him."

As he spoke, Pei Xiaoer's eyes seemed to have traveled thousands of miles and mountains, looking at Deng Yan who was actively heading north.

The next day, the Pei family army led the camp to the north and headed straight towards Baichongshan in the north.

On the other hand, Deng Qi received news that the northern Pei Family Army had taken the camp to the north during the march. When he first heard the news, Deng Qi's face changed and no one could guess what he was thinking. Only Deng Qi's confidant Yang Yuchun leaned forward and asked, "General, we have just passed Nanyang, and Pei Xiaoer has noticed it and continued to go north. It seems that this Pei Xiaoer is not easy to deal with. Should we follow?"

"Why, are you scared?" Deng Qi turned his head and Yu Guang looked at Yang Yuchun.

"Sir, you don't like to listen to your words. Since you followed you from Sichuan, you have been fighting for twenty-one battles. I, Yang Yuchun, don't frown when I come back again, why are you afraid that the Pei family army who doesn't know where they come out?" Yang Yuchun jumped up at that time, as if the hair was stepped on the tail, and said, "Sir, I am willing to be the pioneer in this battle."

"Okay, okay, I'm saying the wrong thing." Deng Yan was a little amused, "But you have something you said right. Pei Xiaoer is not that easy to deal with. We must be careful and catch an eagle for the rest of our lives. Don't be blinded by the eagle in the end."

After two more days of travel, the Pei family army had already met with the Wang Daozhi army. The 70,000 troops combined, and had an absolute advantage compared to Deng Yan's 23,000 officers and soldiers. At this time, the Pei family army had stopped advancing and guarded in front of Baizhong Mountains, quietly waiting for Deng Yan's arrival.

Baichong Mountain is also the remnant of the Funiu Mountain Range. However, the mountain is not tall and the highest point is only more than 30 feet (more than 100 meters). Most of the trees on the mountain have been cut down by local residents. Although they are not bare, they are quite different.

Deng Yan's army and his troops arrived ten miles away from Pei Xiaoer's army at noon the next day. They received news that the shocking war drums were beating in the Pei family's camp. The soldiers arranged in small queues in the camp, using the camp as units, and then came out one after another, gathered together with other camps to form a larger battle formation.

Seventy thousand people gathered into two huge battle formations in units of the army, side by side, like two fists, tightly clenched together. Among the two military-level battle formations, they were divided into three smaller town-level battle formations in sequence according to the town. The entire battle formation spreads for several miles wide and is extremely thick.
