Chapter 545 The Crow's Mouth Attribute Didn't Run Away!
Chapter 545 The crow’s mouth attribute is gone!
But see
Riding Juechen, galloping from afar.
Judging from his appearance, he is a scout of our army.
Hurry—!
Lu Bu reined in his horse, raised his eyes and stared ahead. When the scouts galloped forward, he asked, "Is this a scout from Zhang Liao's army?"
"That's right."
The scout bowed and held his hands, and said loudly: "The villain Wang San is a scout in the army."
Lu Bu felt reassured and asked, "But what happened?"
The scout handed over his hand and said: "The imperial military order, tigers, leopards and wolves must rush to Yanmen Pass before tomorrow without any mistakes."
Huang Zhong was stunned for a moment: "Oh? Why are you so anxious? Could something have happened?"
Wang San shook his head: "Old general, this villain is only responsible for delivering messages, but what exactly happened is not clear yet."
Huang Zhong had no choice but to change his approach: "Where is Zhang Liao? Has his army set off?"
Wang San nodded: "General Xu Huang has led his elite cavalry to kill the rear of Xianbei Budugen's army. The rest of the troops divided into several groups and rushed towards Shuofang and Yunzhong counties. However, General Zhang led the main force.
Go straight in the direction of Budugen."
"The military adviser is mobilizing military rations for war preparation. Food and fodder for a hundred thousand troops are being transferred from Taiyuan County, Xihe County, Zhongshan County and other directions. They should be on the way now."
"not good."
Huang Zhong immediately realized that something was wrong, frowned and said: "There must be a movement in the direction of Xianbei, otherwise the imperial court would not be able to launch an attack so quickly. Fengxian, Zhongkang, let's hurry up and march."
Xu Chu sighed: "You should go first. My tiger cavalry is relatively slow and will delay your retreat. We can finally meet up at Zhang Liao's camp."
"good."
Lu Bu agreed immediately, and immediately raised his hand towards Xu Chu: "Zhongkang, in that case, let's leave first. You can take care of yourself."
Huang Zhong followed and cupped his hands: "Zhongkang, take care."
Xu Chu nodded and returned the gift: "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Lu Bu then gave the order: "The Wolf Cavalry obeys the order, aims at Yanmen Pass, and advances at full speed."
Rumble—!
In an instant, there was a rumble of hoofbeats and smoke and dust.
Xu Chu naturally also longed for the feeling of galloping, but he was a tiger rider and was better at rushing into formations, not suitable for riding fast.
Looking at Huang Zhong and Lu Bu's army gradually disappearing in the smoke, Xu Chu also gave the order: "Tiger Cavalry obeys the order, target Yanmen Pass, and advance at full speed."
All the soldiers responded in unison: "Here."
Although they are both moving forward at full speed, the speeds of the two sides are essentially different.
*****
The wind rustles and the water becomes cold.
Having just passed Kebineng in Yishui, we have entered the territory of Youzhou.
He took a long breath, looked ahead, and said softly: "Let's seize the time and try to get to Zhuoxian today. In this way, we can leave Juyongguan tomorrow."
General Suo Nu rode up to catch up: "Chanyu, do you feel that something is wrong?"
Kebi Neng was confused when asked by the slave slave: "What do you think?"
The slave slave frowned: "When we passed Zhongshan, there seemed to be a lot of teams transporting grain and grass."
Ke Bineng smiled: "That's natural. The Han people have a saying that before the troops and horses move, the food and grass go first. They are arranging the food and grass to prepare for a decisive battle with Bu Dugen."
"no the same."
The lock slave shook his head, still feeling something was wrong: "They seem to be very anxious, it doesn't seem like they are preparing in advance, but this is just a villain's feeling, maybe it is not the case."
"No!"
Ke Bineng carefully recalled the whole process, and also felt that something was not right: "Your feeling is correct. If you prepare in advance, the march should not be so hasty."
"Walk!"
Not daring to hesitate at all, Ke Bineng decided: "Hurry to Zhuo County and ask Tian Shijun about the situation."
The lock slave nodded: "Okay."
drive-!
The crowd galloped on horseback.
Not far away, I saw people in official uniforms waiting at a street pavilion. Seeing their strange attire, I hurried out and blocked the road:
"I'm going to work in Xia Youzhou. I wonder if you are part of Xianbei Ke Bineng's team?"
"That's right."
Ke Bineng replied in broken Chinese: "I am Ke Bineng."
The visitor hurriedly handed over his hand: "According to reliable information, Bu Dugen has returned to Xianbei and is currently mobilizing troops and generals to launch an attack on the Chanyu tribe. Tian Shijun ordered me to wait again and send someone to escort you and others out of Juyong Pass."
"ah?"
Ke Bineng was stunned for a moment: "How is this possible? Bu Dugen has already gone back?"
He couldn't believe it. Although there was a half-day difference between the two parties, the other party actually returned to Xianbei one day or even two days ahead of him. This was simply unbelievable.
Is it possible?
Bu Dugen had no rest at all? He was traveling day and night?
In this winter, even if the road conditions are good, people will die at night.
What kind of will did Bu Dugen use to advance the time by a full day?
Unimaginable!
It’s really unimaginable!
At this moment, Kebi Neng felt unprecedented pressure. Bu Dugen's reputation in Xianbei in the central part of the country far exceeded his own. Now, the other party had the upper hand. If it summoned troops and took the opportunity to launch an attack, I was afraid that he would not be able to defeat him at all.
Can't bear it.
"Walk."
We can no longer take it lightly.
Ke Bi Neng secretly made up his mind and turned to look at Biejia Zeng: "I wonder if the imperial court can take any remedial measures?"
Biejiazhi knew he would ask, so he quickly gave his own answer: "I don't know much about Yanmen Pass, but General Gongsun has led the White Horse Yi Cong out of the pass."
"Moreover, he has brought tens of thousands of fire and thunder bombs. If Xianbei Budugen really wants to launch an attack, he may be able to delay it for a day or two to buy Shanyu time."
call-
Ke Bineng secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Since General Gongsun has gone to war, General Zhang will not be left behind."
Ke Bineng was naturally aware of the fighting power of White Horse General Gongsun Zan. Although the troops under his command were small, their fighting power was extremely rich. Xianbei Suli in the west had long heard of this.
As for Kebineng from Xianbei in the central region, he has naturally heard of the name Baima Yicong. Now that this team is equipped with tens of thousands of fire and thunder bombs, its combat effectiveness will inevitably be even more explosive.
Biejiazhi took out a cloth bag from under the saddle and said, "This is some dry food for you. It contains dried meat, dried fruits, and wheat cakes. It's enough for you to get back to Xianbei."
Kebineng did not refuse, and took it immediately: "Thank you very much. When you get back, please help me thank Tian Shijun. I said that after this battle is over, I, Kebineng, will definitely come to visit and thank you personally."
Biejia nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will bring you your message. I'll say goodbye and have a safe trip."
Ke Bi Neng responded with a "Hello", and immediately rode his horse and hoofed up, heading straight for Juyong Pass.
drive-!
*****
In the endless wilderness.
Hundreds of dome tents are scattered like stars.
In the middle of a large tent with a radius of more than ten feet, lights were shining brightly, and singing and dancing were taking place.
Bu Dugen, Fu Luohan and others sat together, drinking kumis, eating fresh mutton, and enjoying the dance. The atmosphere was joyful.
Especially Bu Dugen, who was at the head, seemed to have felt that the victory was coming, and took a bite of fresh mutton: "I haven't had a bite of rice in two days, and suddenly I felt that our mutton still smells good."
"This time I rushed back early because I wanted to take advantage of Ke Bineng and the big man before they could react. I wanted to catch them off guard and try to kill Ke Bineng and his gang."
Murong Yan seemed to be very excited: "I have long disliked that kid Ke Bineng. He is not strong enough and has a bad temper. He actually dared to snatch someone from me back then. It is simply disgusting."
"That's right."
Another Que Ju followed suit and said, "This kid Ke Bineng really deserves to be punished. He only has a salary of more than 3,000 yuan, but he dares to meddle in so many other things. I have long wanted to deal with him."
"Really think that by gathering some small tribes, they can become our enemies? You are simply overestimating your capabilities! This time, we must eat Nanyang Hanting before he can react!"
Fu Luohan patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, Ke Bi Neng can't run away this time. Once our troops are gathered in place, we will immediately kill Ben Ke Bi Neng's troops and wipe them all out."
"Report—!"
At this moment, a long announcement sounded outside the tent.
Bu Dugen raised his eyes and looked up.
However, he saw that his own scouts hurriedly broke into the tent, looking rather panicked. He didn't even bother to bow their hands in salute, so he raised his hand and pointed outside:
"Chanyu, something serious has happened."
The sound of singing and dancing stopped suddenly.
Bu Dugen waved his hand to repel the dancers and frowned: "What happened?"
The scout then said: "Gongsun Zan from Youzhou led the Baima Yi Cong out of seclusion, and they are still fully armed and are moving towards the direction of Kebi Neng."
"What?"
Bu Dugen was immediately stunned, his eyes were as wide as bells: "Has Gongsun Zan been released from seclusion?"
The scout nodded affirmatively: "Yes, he has been released."
"Damn it!"
Bu Dugen knew very well the fighting power of Gongsun Baima, and couldn't help but frowned: "Gongsun Zan went out, which proves that the Nanyang court already knows that I have returned to Xianbei."
Fu Luohan frowned and pondered for a moment: "It shouldn't be. We have been running day and night for two days without stopping. According to common sense, the court's reaction cannot be so quick."
"Could it be."
Speaking of this, Fu Luohan glanced at all the tribal leaders present: "There is a traitor among us. Did you tell the Nanyang Hanting in advance about our whereabouts?"
"ah?"
In an instant, all the adults in the seat looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all confused.
Bu Dugen immediately realized something was wrong.
If we continue to speculate like this, I'm afraid the team will fall apart before the war begins.
He quickly gave Fu Luohan a wink and immediately said, "It's not necessarily a traitor. It's most likely that we mobilized troops on a large scale and was discovered by the assassins of Nanyang Hanting and reported it to the court."
In fact, Bu Dugen also suspected that there was a traitor. After all, it takes time to mobilize troops, and the reaction speed of Nanyang Hanting was really outrageous!
but
Even if he had doubts, Budugen couldn't tell.
He knew very well that this would shake the morale of the military and even cause unnecessary trouble.
Fu Luohan realized that he had said something wrong and hurriedly agreed: "Yes, it is indeed possible. No matter what, the arrow is on the string and has to be fired. It's just Gongsun Zan and thousands of soldiers and horses, which is not worth mentioning."
"Report—!"
At this moment, a long announcement sounded outside the tent again.
Bu Dugen raised his eyes and looked up.
However, he saw that his own scouts came in a hurry and said with a leisurely look: "Shan Yu, according to reliable information, an elite cavalry has appeared behind our team. Judging from the flags, it should be Xu Huang from Yanmen Pass."
"Xu Huang?"
Bu Dugen was astonished.
Xu Huang is the second-ranking general in Yanmen Pass.
During the period when Zhang Liao left, Yanmen Pass was managed by Chen Gong and Xu Huang.
Even compared to Zhang Liao, Xu Huang's military quality was not inferior at all, and there was no flaw in it.
"That's right, it's Xu Huang."
The scout nodded with absolute certainty.
Bu Dugen took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.
as expected.
The defenders at Yanmen Pass also made some movement, and actually rushed straight to their rear.
Obviously, Nanyang Hanting was sure that it would not be able to easily defeat Kebineng, so it wanted to use this method to restrain his performance and buy Kebineng time.
Before Bu Dugen could react, Que Ju below had already frowned: "Our main army is all on the front line, and the rear is extremely empty. If Nanyang takes the opportunity to invade, what can we do?"
"yes."
Murong Yan followed and nodded, with a leisurely expression: "We are fighting in the front, and Nanyang Hanting is causing trouble behind. If they attack our tribe, wouldn't it mean that our family will be destroyed?"
"I recommend!"
Murong Yan took a deep breath and said loudly: "We each dedicate a part of our troops to protect our homeland from the Nanyang Han Court. Only in this way can we devote ourselves wholeheartedly."
Bu Dugen immediately said: "Don't worry, you should know that most of the defenders at Yanmen Pass are infantry, and there are not many cavalry at all. With just their few soldiers and horses, whether they can pose a threat to your tribe is another question.
Don’t worry about it.”
"Don't think I don't know. You still have at least 500 cavalry defenders in the tribe. If you add some women and children to gather more than a thousand cavalry, self-protection will definitely not be a problem."
"but now."
The conversation changed and Bu Dugen said loudly: "We are about to launch an attack on Kebineng. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate for you to withdraw our troops at this time, right?"
"Is it possible that you are threatened but not us? These are just some tricks played by Nanyang Hanting. We must not be fooled!"
Fu Luohan took a deep breath and agreed again: "Yes, this must be a trick of Nanyang Hanting. They have always liked to play intrigues, and you should know that."
"Our top priority should be to eat Ke Bineng. As long as he is eaten, the soldiers and horses of Nanyang Hanting will naturally become defensive, unless they have a large army to follow."
"Report—!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice sounded outside the tent again.
Bu Dugen suddenly felt an uneasy feeling in his heart.
He looked up.
But seeing his scouts hurriedly enter the account, he leaned over and said: "Khanyu, something bad has happened. Zhang Liao led the army at Yanmen Pass. He said he wanted to recover the lost ground in Yunzhong, Shuofang and others, so he came towards us. I'm afraid there are many troops.
