In Hedong County, in front of Baibo Valley, Liu Bao led his army to stop again.
Determined to win, the Xiongnu army that pursued the Yizhou Army had to stop.
After crossing Pingyang County for a hundred miles, we came to one of the few dangerous areas in Hedong County.
White Wave Valley.
It was once the home of hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops.
At first, the imperial court had no choice but to deal with the Yellow Turban thieves in Hedong County. The main reason was that Baibo Valley was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The interior of Hedong County is blocked by various mountains, and the only accessible road is along the Fenshui River.
However, this road is blocked by Baibo Valley.
Although it is said to be a barrier, it is not completely isolated. It is just that the north-south route cannot bypass Baibo Valley.
If you want to connect the north and the south, you must enter Baibo Valley and go around.
However, at this moment, a camp was erected at the entrance of Baibo Valley.
"hateful..."
Liu Bao cursed angrily. He never expected that he would charge forward and be forcibly pressed down again.
Not long after, Hu Chuquan led the follow-up team and came closer.
"King Zuoxian, why did you stop?"
Liu Bao stared forward fiercely, then stretched out his hand.
"The damn Yizhou Army has set up camp at a dangerous pass again!"
Hu Chuquan quickly looked forward. After observing, he immediately showed a pessimistic expression.
"It's broken. The Yizhou Army occupies this place. It's difficult for us to rush through."
He didn't dare to talk about Huchuquan in other places, but he was too familiar with Baibo Valley.
Huchuquan had cooperated with the Yellow Turban Army back then and knew the situation in Baibo Valley very clearly.
"King Zuo Xian, there is no way around Baibo Valley unless you swim across the Fen River!"
Liu Bao's face was very ugly. Of course he knew his current situation.
The Huns were good at riding horses, but they were not used to water at all.
Even after moving to the Hetao area for hundreds of years, not many Xiongnu people still learned to swim, let alone gallop in the water.
When Liu Bao saw Hu Chuquan's expression, he knew that he was feeling cowardly again.
In order to prevent Huchuquan from thinking about withdrawing his troops again, Liu Bao quickly offered words of comfort.
"Chanyu, although this camp blocks our way, it further confirms that the Yizhou army is not strong enough to compete with us!"
Hu Chuquan nodded and did not deny Liu Bao's remarks, but there was indeed a problem waiting for them.
"King Zuoxian, I understand what you mean, but how can we break through this camp?"
Liu Bao was suddenly speechless and cursed the Yizhou army as despicable.
They didn't want to die, so they set up their camp in the narrowest area of Baibo Valley.
Even if there are only a thousand people in the camp, it will be difficult for the Xiongnu army to break through in a short time.
It doesn't take much time. It only takes four or five days for the people in Hedong to cross the Yellow River.
With the Yellow River as a barrier, the Xiongnu army would be even more helpless.
Just when they were losing ground, King Youxian Qubei, who was leading the Xiongnu rear army, also came to the front.
There was still no movement from the Chinese army. Qubei was worried and could only step forward to check.
"Why did you stop?"
Liu Bao raised his chin and pointed forward again.
"The Yizhou Army is extremely cunning. They occupied the dangerous pass in advance and blocked our pursuit."
Qubei quickly looked around and saw that it was exactly what Liu Bao said.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Qubei's surprised voice caught the attention of Huchuquan and Liu Bao.
"What's wrong?"
"Is this going to be an empty camp again?"
Qubei suddenly discovered that although the camp was well-arranged, there was no guard.
Previously in Pingyang City, the Yizhou Army had arranged some straw men.
Good thing this time, the straw men didn’t even bother to decorate it, it was completely empty!
"Isn't it possible? This camp only needs one or two thousand people to make us helpless."
Liu Bao shook his head and did not believe Qubei's words.
In fact, he had already discovered the problem of not finding any soldiers in Beisuo's camp.
If the burning of Pingyang City had not happened, Liu Bao might have felt that the Yizhou Army was playing tricks on him.
After falling into this trap, Liu Bao never believed that the Yizhou Army would be unprepared in such a dangerous place.
"Khan Yu, King Youxian, the Yizhou army is extremely cunning and must have deployed strong bows and crossbows in the camp!"
"This is at a turning point, and the view is not clear. I estimate that as long as our soldiers get close to the camp, they will definitely receive a strong blow!"
The Yizhou army was too cunning, and the location of their camps was also extremely tricky.
If we don't attack from the front, we can't even see how far away the camp is and how many troops are deployed in the camp.
With such a wise man as his opponent in the Yizhou army, how dare Liu Bao naively think that there is no defense in the camp?
Liu Bao thought so, but Qubei didn't think so.
Instead, he felt that Liu Bao was cowardly.
After finally seeing Liu Bao showing fear, Qubei would not let go of such a good opportunity and directly taunted him.
"King Zuoxian, are you afraid of being burned by a fire by the Yizhou Army?"
The last time I escaped from Pingyang City, if it weren't for the loss of morale of the Xiongnu army, I would have had to run against Liu Bao when I went to Bei.
Usually Hu Chuquan always scolds him for being inferior to Liu Bao, but today he has found something to relieve his anger!
Liu Bao glanced at Qu Bei and had no intention of fighting with him.
The most important thing now is to find a way to cross the White Wave Valley safely.
Leading the army to defeat the Yizhou Army will naturally silence all those who oppose Liu Bao.
"Let's wait and see what happens in the camp."
"I don't believe it. The Yizhou Army can still resist coming out to check!"
The Huns had poor vision, and the Yizhou Army also had vision problems.
Liu Bao did not believe that the commander-in-chief of the Yizhou Army was so arrogant and could completely ignore the 90,000 Xiongnu troops outside the camp.
"again..."
Just as Qubei was about to open his mouth to refute, he was greeted by Hu Chuquan's stern eyes, which scared him so much that he quickly shut his mouth.
Waiting is excruciating, especially staring in one direction.
For more than three hours, Liu Bao never relaxed his vigilance, and his eyes began to become dry after staring for too long.
It's a pity that Liu Bao didn't get any answer he wanted, and the tent in front didn't reveal any flaws.
It can even be said that there was no movement from the entire camp.
Could it be that Qubei really guessed it right?
Is there really an empty camp ahead?
Apart from this possibility, Liu Bao really couldn't guess what other reason could make a military camp so quiet!
Huchuquan also gradually became frightened from the initial suspicion.
How similar are the plots?
Isn't this exactly the same as the situation when the troops came to Pingyang City before?
It's just that last time it was a city, this time it's a camp.
Last time there was a straw man in disguise, but this time even the disguise was omitted!
Just when Hu Chuquan and Liu Bao were tense, Qubei's voice suddenly came to their ears.
"King Zuo Xian, are you planning to let your army sleep in the wilderness here?"
