Chapter 776: Is it actually Di Ren who leads the way?
Murong Hong picked up the wine jar and had no choice but to continue drinking. He really couldn't figure out where Murong De's confidence came from.
In the past, when their situation was good, Murong Chui regarded them as nothing and ignored them. Now that they are in trouble, will Murong Chui take action?
…………
Murong Chui, who was far away in Longcheng, had not yet had time to receive Murong De's Pegasus message, but he was still traveling on the road to Yecheng.
Originally, he was planning to take Murong Chong with him.
But considering the current situation, I still kept him.
There is still a general to guard Longcheng. Although Murong Chong is not capable enough and is relatively inexperienced, after all, he is a member of the Dayan clan and a serious direct descendant, so he is not so useless.
Furthermore, I heard that both uncles and nephews Murong De and Murong Hong escaped from Chang'an City safely, and they are the ones leading the Xianbei Army now.
This kind of troops is enough. Adding Murong Chong to the government will be detrimental to the battle.
Plus……
The war horses galloped, and Murong Chui looked back from time to time at the Dragon City that was gradually fading away behind him. If this trip goes well, he might not have to return to such a bitter and cold place again!
Yecheng is definitely a good place to go.
Murong Chong, just let him stay in Longcheng to guard his hometown. As for what he wants to do in the future, it is not Murong Chui's concern.
Finally getting rid of a big burden, Murong Chui felt extremely relaxed.
Among the several people, the one who feels most at ease now is Fu Pi who is guarding Yecheng.
Before this battle, General Fu Pi was always in panic, fearing that this important city would be destroyed in his own hands.
After fighting this battle, General Fu became a completely different person. He felt that he was full of strength.
Extraordinarily powerful!
The same mentality also appeared in the hearts of other Di Qin generals, but the degree of expression was different depending on their temperaments.
The outskirts of Yecheng, seventy miles away.
The Jin army officers and soldiers who had just returned from the battlefield retreated to rest. At this moment, those who were busy setting up tents and cooking were their comrades-in-arms, the group of brothers brought by Wang Mi.
There are so many people, so you are so confident.
Wang Mi and others were sitting in the tent, and a few young people were watching the moon and looking for stars with the bonfire outside the tent.
Where?
Where are they all?
Wang Mi suddenly felt emotional: Why didn't I like astronomy in my last life?
The ancient sky, clear and vast, spreads out before your eyes, showing it to your heart's content without reservation.
An ordinary person is as small as a human being. He only needs to raise his head and look up, as if he can connect with the sky and touch the shining stars.
A few stars appeared here, close together and developing in a gathering shape. There were also many stars hanging in the sky over there, scattered everywhere. They seemed far away, but they were also connected to each other.
If I could have taken some time out in my last life to study astronomy, I might be able to tell what constellations these belong to right now.
Maybe it's also a pleasure.
"Zhiyuan, we have retreated here now, what are you going to do next?" Among the few people, the one who is most serious about doing practical things is Liu Yu.
He is also the one who can't keep his words to himself.
If Lao Tan were here, maybe he could be ranked second. Unfortunately, Lao Tan was busy in Jingkou at the moment. There was no other way. Liu Yu had to stand up and win the first place.
Wang Mi stared at the fire, and he knew without raising his head that Liu Yu must have an anxious look on his face at this moment.
"Send slave, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry."
"You have persisted in praying eight hundred times, are you still afraid of waiting a little longer?"
"Just watch, it won't be long before there will be chaos in Yecheng."
Liu Yu snorted, seemingly dissatisfied.
He Mai interjected at this time: "Looking at today's situation, Yang Baihua has also provided us with false news. The soldiers of Di Qin are obviously very powerful. They competed with the Xianbei tribe and did not fall behind at all. Even today,
In this battle, the Di people did not use all their strength, but Murong's tribe abandoned their helmets and fled. Since the Di people were still so capable of fighting, why did Fu Pi send Yang Baihua to Jingkou to ask for help? Could it be that there was a deceit involved?
?”
He Mai went with Wang Mixiang. He also had such suspicions, but he was quick-thinking and thought broadly.
Instead, he comforted everyone and said: "Even if there is fraud, Yang Baihua has helped us a lot. Without him, how could we have crossed the river so easily and arrived at the foot of Yecheng?"
Wang Mi's words opened everyone's memories.
Recalling that not long ago, they followed Yang Baihua all the way north. Before setting off, the soldiers had no idea.
For fear of being plotted by Yang Baihua, however, along the way, I found that maybe the Di people in Yecheng did want something from Jin, so that all the counties and counties along the way were still in the hands of Di Qin.
, seeing Yang Baihua’s integrity, they all let them go without causing any trouble.
At the beginning, the soldiers still had doubts about what kind of medicine this cunning trap was selling.
After a few days, everyone finally understood what was going on along the way.
This Di Qin really fell apart overnight, like a building that collapsed and could no longer be repaired.
Many counties and counties are dilapidated, and they are lucky to be able to barely support them. Some of them are in worse condition. Thieves have long been rampant in the cities, and some soldiers have even turned into bandits, robbing the people, and committing all kinds of evil.
With Yang Baihua leading the way, these Di Qin soldiers had no intention of stopping the Jin army. Some even regarded the Jin army as the savior to save the crisis, and it was not too late to welcome them.
It can be seen that having a sign like Yang Baihua is still very useful. Without him, such a mighty Northern Expedition army passed by, how could those Di Qin troops not come out to provoke?
Even if you plunder some of the food and grass, the weapons are still good.
Thinking of this, even Wei Yongzhi, who had always hated Di people to the core, felt that these people were not so hateful anymore.
"Even if the Di people are grateful to us, they will not give Yecheng to us. We will still have to fight for it ourselves." It's fine if someone doesn't open his mouth. Once he opens his mouth, he will say golden words. He Wuji is such a witty person.
smart people.
Wang Mi rolled his eyes at him, but did not get angry.
He just said calmly: "That's true."
"That's why we have to wait and see what happens. According to my observation, if Murong's troops show no signs of retreat early tomorrow morning, they must have contacted Murong Chui and are waiting to attack Fu Pi from both sides."
Suddenly thinking of this possibility, He Mai and the others' faces turned dark.
At this time, when it comes to stability, we still have to look to our Wang Shilang.
Wang Mi slowly stood up, looked up to the sky and said, "Don't worry, even if Murong Chui comes, we can still win."
Wang Mi's confidence not only came from the bravery and skill of the Beifu soldiers, but also from the large number of weapons he carefully crafted.
With the blessing of these weapons, it is not difficult to capture Ye City.
"Since Murong Chui is coming eventually, why don't we catch them off guard now and occupy Yecheng?"
"As long as we seize the city and rely on the city, our advantage will be greater." Liu Yu stepped forward and looked at the vast sky. However, he was not paying attention to the stars, and he did not have that kind of mood.
He just took a casual look, and the vastness of the sky made him feel more open.
"What the slave said makes sense."
"However, if we join the war now, both the Di people and the Xianbei people will become our enemies. At that time, we will be the Jin army who will be attacked from both sides. I will not do this kind of loss-making business."
"What you did this morning was very good. You just wanted to find an opportunity for them to fight each other first. We are looking for an opportunity to take advantage of it."
These strategies can only remain in the conceptual stage at present. The only thing that can be certain is that once you have come, you cannot leave.
Always get your money back.
As for which direction the situation will develop, there is only one thing Wang Mi said that is right. That is, we can only wait.
Murong Chui is coming to Yecheng?
Just hearing this name makes people's blood boil, and they have a deep desire to urinate. Do they want to fight Murong to the death?
So exciting!
There is a feeling of death that arises out of thin air.
That is Dayan’s number one general!
Even the Lord of Qin, Fu Jian, respected him very much. Although Jiang Zuo was not good at martial arts, he had heard of his reputation. His strength was beyond imagination.
He Mai's heart was filled with excitement at the thought of meeting the God of War Murong Chui soon.
ah!
Isn't it a pity that such a famous general died under Yecheng?
Do you want to stay alive?
It works!
The court should be able to agree.
Imperial court?
Does Beifu still care about that thing now?
Just when He Mai was thinking wildly, more and more people came to see the stars. In addition to a few young generals, some idle soldiers also looked up at the sky.
The stars tonight are indeed beautiful.
The people on the ground reflected in it are also beautiful.
But at this moment, Shen Suanzi, dressed as a scholar, slowly walked towards the group. It was at this time that there was no tense battle or bloody fighting, so she could walk out of the tent, take a walk and look at the sky.
Along the way, from Jingkou to Yecheng, Shen Suanzi also suffered a lot, and the difficulties of marching in a hurry were far more difficult than she imagined.
Thinking about it this way, although she has been wandering around outside all year round, in fact, she has always had the final say on her own schedule.
He never urged her, let alone let her sit on the horse all day long.
After this experience, Shen Suanzi was finally convinced. Marching to fight was indeed not an easy task.
If it were any other young lady today, she might have given up halfway, but who is Shen Lianzi?
She is a stubborn person who will never give up halfway.
Although he could not persist in riding a horse, he switched to riding a car. Finally, Shen Suanzi successfully followed the army and arrived at Yecheng.
Overall, there is absolutely no lag.
Now, Shen Suanzi is staggering towards his brothers little by little. These people are so heartless and unjust, and they don't know how to come up and help him.
When she calls her “buddy,” do you really think she is a buddy?
"Is there any news from the court?"
"Don't blame me for pouring cold water on you. Even if you want to take action against Yecheng, it's best to wait until the court gets the news."
It was said to be cold water, but it was really just a big basin of cold water. Everyone felt like a basin of cold water was poured over them from head to toe.
All of them had their heads drooped, and even the beautiful stars in the sky no longer smelled good.
At this time, only one person stood still, still engaging in the exchange of ideas between heaven and man.
That is Wang Mi, Wang Shilang.
"Garuanzi, garlic, don't worry, the court will definitely support us."
Shen Suanzi was curious about where someone's self-confidence came from.
"how do you know?"
However, to be fair, after getting along with him for such a long time, Suanzi knew that Wang Mi was not a person who told nonsense.
He must be confident in what he said.
Wang Mi finally turned his gaze from the vast sky back to Shen Suanzi.
"Of course I know."
"Calculate, how many days has it been since we set off from Jingkou?"
He turned to everyone and said these words to all the brothers together.
"one two three……"
Counting on his fingers, He Mai really took Wang Mi's words seriously. Wang Mi suddenly felt that something was wrong with this kid's mind.
"It's been ten days!"
"Ten days!"
He Mai exclaimed excitedly, and Wang Mi nodded: "That's right."
"We have been out for ten days, and so far, there is no news from the court. This is enough to prove that at least they are not fiercely opposed to our expedition. If they were opposed, they would have sent people to deliver letters and hurriedly transferred us back."
After Wang Mi spoke, everyone suddenly understood.
I see!
This time, it’s stable!
…………
Another day, early morning.
The golden sunshine makes the Yecheng tower in the distance also be covered with a layer of golden color. The weather is good and the sunshine is good.
Wang Mi walked out of the military tent and stretched his waist.
I hope that the soldiers facing each other in Yecheng can be in a good mood like him.
"Brothers, let's retreat another thirty miles!"
"Retreat?"
Wang Mi turned to everyone and greeted the questioning eyes of his brothers with a smile.
Wang Mi's eyes were always full of power. Although others were laughing, no one refuted.
Obediently pack up the tents, organize the troops and horses, and retreat.
The threat worked, and Wang Shilang expressed his satisfaction.
This is long overdue!
If Di Qin and Murong Bu started fighting again today, he didn't want to bring disaster to Chi Yu, so he had better run away earlier.
Withdrawn!
Withdrawn!
On the way here, Wang Mi had already observed the nearby terrain. Just a hundred miles away from Yecheng, there was a small hill. From the bottom up, it should be about 200 meters.
The hills are connected into one piece, but there is a trail in the middle for soldiers and horses to walk.
If it weren't for Yang Baihua, the people from Jin who came all the way would not know this trail at all.
If Yang Baihua hadn't been anxious to rescue Yecheng, he would never have told the Jin army about this shortcut.
Isn't this a God-given opportunity?
This kind of hillock, with a small road in the middle, is the most suitable for an ambush. Since there won't be another fight in Yecheng for a while, it's better to find a good place to hide.
According to Wang Mi's estimation, Murong Chui will arrive soon, but this fierce general cannot be allowed to discover the traces of the Jin army.
He didn't want to invade the Jin army before the Qin Dynasty was destroyed and Murong's tribe was eliminated.
