    Yuwen Tuo did indeed escape without a fight, but Tai Shixiang could not understand why their emperor Yan Liang could have expected Yuwen Tuo to escape without a fight long before the war started.

    Although Tai Shixiang had long known that the emperor was unparalleled in his ingenuity, he could not imagine that the emperor's ability to predict events could reach such an extent.

    After Zhang Liao sighed with emotion, he told Taishi Xiang the key points given to him by Yan Liang in a respectful tone.

    In order to achieve the purpose of seizing the east and attacking the west, it is of course impossible for Yan Liang to send a large number of troops to the Yanmen front line in advance. In that case, how could he induce Tuoba Liwei to be fooled and take the main force to the east to collect fishing profits.

    Therefore, Yan Liang could only send Zhang Liao with 3,000 light cavalry to capture the Evil Yang Ridge by surprise.

    After taking the Evil Yang Ridge, Zhang Liao was ordered to plant more flags and create a situation where tens of thousands of troops were pressing down on the territory, and even Yan Liang came to the front line in person. Naturally, the purpose of this was to scare Yuwen Tuo.

    Judging from the current situation, Yuwen Tuo abandoned the city and fled, obviously falling into Yan Liang's plan.

    As for this strategy, it was originally proposed by Xu You and Xu Shu jointly, but in the strategy of capturing Dingxiang, Yan Liang made modifications and used his own strategy.

    It is precisely for this reason that Zhang Liao admires Yan Liang's ability to predict events.

    After hearing this, Taishi Xiang realized something, but he doubted: "Even if Yuwen Tuo was deceived by us, Dingxiang is an important place for the Xianbei people. Even if he knew that my army was pressing on the border, he should have defended it to the death. How could it be like this?"  To retreat easily without a fight?"

    "This is the fatal weakness of the Xianbei people." Zhang Liao sneered, "Xianbei is not as big as me at Chu. As long as the emperor gives an order, you must hold on to the city even if you die until only one person is left."

    Zhang Liao looked far away and continued: "The Xianbei people are different. Tuoba Liwei is just the co-leader of the Xianbei people. Yuwen Tuo is first the leader of the Yuwen Department, and then Tuoba Liwei's subordinates. Think about it, he will do it for  Following Tuoba Liwei¡¯s orders, are you going to risk your own tribe¡¯s strength and defend Dingxiang City to the death?¡±

    Zhang Liao's meaningful words completely awakened Tai Shixiang. Only then did this young general understand the truth.

    turn out to be.  Yan Liang actually took advantage of the weakness of the Xianbei people who seemed to be one, but each had their own agenda. Each tribe put the interests of their own tribe first, so he defeated Yuwen Tuo without wasting a single soldier.

    "Your Majesty's grasp of people's hearts is truly rare in the world." Tai Shixiang sighed.

    "That's natural. Otherwise, given your humble background, why would there be so many heroes who would follow you to the death?" Zhang Liao said in a respectful tone.

    Tai Shixiang sighed with emotion for a long time, and he respected Yan Liang even more. He was glad that he had convinced his father Tai Shi Ci.  Father and son can work together with a hero like Yan Liang.

    "Then General Wenyuan, what should we do now?" Tai Shixiang came back to his senses and thought of business.

    Zhang Liao got on his horse and pointed his riding whip down the mountain: "Does this need to be said? The whole army marched into Dingxiang City and reported the news of the Hulu's escape to Your Majesty as soon as possible. I want Zilong and Ziqin to have two troops.  It¡¯s time to go out.¡±

    The order was conveyed, and three thousand soldiers of the Chu army gathered their strength.  After packing up their luggage, they descended to Evil Yang Ridge and quickly captured Dingxiang, which was already an empty city.

    When Zhang Liao captured Dingxiang with 3,000 troops, Yuwen Tuo was leading 10,000 cavalry and retreated hurriedly towards Baidao City.

    The Xianbei people use Yinshan Mountain as their base camp, and Baidaocheng is the second big city they operate after Dingxiang.

    The Hu people lived as nomads and originally lived in pursuit of water and grass. Tuoba Liwei built the Baidao City in order to imitate the Central Plains Dynasty and wanted to unify all Xianbei tribes.

    Although Baidao City is not as strong as the big city in the Central Plains, it is located in the hinterland of the Monan Grassland and is surrounded by vast grasslands, which is convenient for cavalry to maneuver.

    Yuwen Tuo thought that if he could successfully retreat to Baidao, he would join Tuoba Liwei's main force of 40,000 who came back for reinforcements, plus the Xianbei soldiers and horses coming from the Tieshan area, and the 60,000 to 70,000 cavalry would be enough to control the situation.  grassland.

    Although Yan Liang has many soldiers and horses, most of them must be infantry. If he dares to enter the vast grassland, he will be called upon to destroy as many as he can.

    While running, Yuwen Tuo was thinking about how to deal with the enemy, and he was even thinking about how to explain to Tuoba Liwei that he had abandoned Dingxiang City without fighting.

    A cavalry of scouts chased from behind and shouted: "Commander, the Chu people have occupied our Dingxiang city."

    "How many are there, thirty thousand or forty thousand?" Yuwen Tuo asked.

    "Not many, less than three thousand people."

    "Three thousand people?" Yuwen Tuo was shocked and looked like he couldn't believe it.

    The battle flag covering the sky and sun on the Evil Sun Ridge, the road to the southDust billowed like mist on the ground, and all signs showed that tens of thousands of Chu troops had arrived at the Evil Sun Ridge, and the imperial flag representing Yan Liang appeared on the Evil Sun Ridge.

    But now, how come there are only 3,000 people?

    The dizzy Yuwen Tuo vaguely realized that he was most likely to have fallen into a trap.

    "Could it be that the Chu army in Evil Yang Ridge is just a suspected army, and there are actually not many of them at all!" Such an astonishing thought suddenly flashed through Yuwen Tuo's mind.

    The more he thought about it, the more he realized that this was the case, so he quickly disbanded the army to stop escaping, and sent scouts back to Xiangcheng to find out the true strength of the Chu army.

    If the Chu army really only has 3,000 people, he will fight back at any cost and retake Dingxiang City. If others don't find out that he was scared away by just 3,000 Chu soldiers, he Yuwen Tuo will still be here today.  What qualifications do you have to gain a foothold on the grassland?

    More than ten thousand Xianbei people from the Ministry of Culture and Culture stopped at this point, and teams of scouts were sent out, back to the direction of Dingxiang.

    Yuwen Tuo then ordered the remaining men to rest and wait for news from the south.

    After waiting for half a day, it was already dusk.

    The troops were hungry, so Yuwen Tuo ordered the pots to be buried to make rice. Soon, there were fireworks on the grassland, and tens of thousands of Xianbei people gathered around the fire to eat mutton cakes.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    The distant horn sound suddenly rang in his ears. Yuwen Tuo jumped up alertly, raised his eyes and swept towards the south.

    Yuwen Tuo was worried that the horn was coming from the Chu army in the south. After all, how many Chu troops there were in Dingxiang City had not yet been confirmed.

    It was calm in the south direction, and the sound of the horn seemed to come from the west.

    Yu Wentuo turned around to look for the sound, but saw on the western horizon, a thick line that had been plated with gold by the setting sun was slowly moving.

    The black line was gradually getting thicker, approaching them like a cloud clinging to the ground.

    As the black clouds approached, the ground beneath our feet seemed to be shaking faintly, and it was becoming more and more violent.

    The instinct of living in the grassland for a long time made Yuwen Tuo realize that it was a cavalry regiment, rushing towards this direction.

    "Why are there cavalry in the west? Are they our reinforcements? I wonder which tribe they are from?" Yuwen Tuo thought to himself.

    The rumbling sound of iron hoofs has drowned out the breathing of the Xianbei people. Under the setting sun, the black wave is rushing in.

    That was a cavalry regiment without a flag. Even if the cavalry approached the Yuwen Department, they did not make any movement to slow down. Instead, they assumed an impact posture and accelerated and ran wildly.

    This attitude of Lai Riding aroused Yuwen Tuo's alert. He quickly got on his horse and looked up carefully.

    In a blink of an eye, the enemy cavalry was already five hundred steps away.

    Because of the backlight, Yu Wentuo couldn't see Lai Qi's true face clearly. It wasn't until the opponent was approaching more than 300 steps that he could vaguely see clearly.

    The clothes and armor of that cavalry are not Xianbei cavalry at all, but more like the Chu army.

    That¡¯s right, it¡¯s Chu Jun!

    In an instant, Yuwen Tuo was shocked. He never expected that a Chu cavalry regiment of nearly ten thousand people would appear mysteriously near Baidao and to the west of him.

    "It's from Chu, get on your horse quickly and prepare to fight!" The frightened Yuwen Tuo shouted tremblingly.

    More than ten thousand Xianbei people who were gnawing meat suddenly woke up. They didn't even have time to wipe their mouths and climbed onto their horses in a hurry. They were in such a mess that they had no time to form a formation, so they hurriedly prepared to meet the enemy.

    A few hundred steps away, the Chu army's cavalry was roaring like a violent wind.

    The Chu general who was leading the way was carrying a big gun and wearing black armor, and he was as powerful as a god general.

    It was Wen Chou who was the most powerful general in Da Chu.

    These ten thousand Chu troops did not come out from Yanmen, but from Hexi and marched north along the Yellow River. Only then could they avoid the Xianbei people's eyes and ears and appear unexpectedly to the west of Baidao City.

    Wen Chou's army is the second leg of Xu Shu's three-way attack plan. The purpose of this army is to completely crush the fleeing Yuwen tribe halfway and seize Baidao City.

    The panicked enemy was right in front of him, and a murderous sneer curled up at the corner of Wen Chou's mouth.

    "The emperor's plan was really flawless. The Xianbei dogs fled to Baidao City. It seems that I arrived just in time. Today is a great opportunity for me, Wen Chou, to reap my merits."

    Wen Chou's fighting spirit was furious, he raised his big gun and struck hard at the enemy group.

    "kill¡ª¡ª"

    "kill¡ª¡ª"

    ?The roar that shook the sky erupted from the roars of more than ten thousand soldiers of the Chu army, converging into a roaring thunder that changed the color of the world.

    Ten thousand cavalrymen, like a huge steel chariot, crashed up.

    In an instant, it hit.

    People fell on their backs, blood flew everywhere, and countless panicked Xianbei soldiers were tied into meat skewers and crushed into meat.

    Wen Chou took the lead, a big gun danced with numerous gun shadows, and the sharp blade of the gun, like the fangs of the god of death, crazily claimed Hulu's life.

    Although Yuwen Tuo also had 10,000 men and the two armies were equal in strength, they were caught off guard and completely lost their morale and formation.

    With such a disadvantage, how could they stop the well-prepared Chu army.

    Ten thousand Xianbei troops were torn apart in the blink of an eye, falling into a state of panic and chaos. Wen Chou's legions went back and forth, crushing the Xianbei people on both wings like a meat grinder.

    Wen Chou only led his troops to charge and kill them twice, and then the Xianbei people collapsed and fled in all directions, abandoning their helmets and armor.

    The Xianbei people who were intercepted in the north fled towards Baidao City in panic, while the more than four to five thousand soldiers and horses who were intercepted in the south were not so lucky, and their way was blocked by the Chu army.

    "Kill all the wild dogs and let me kill them!" Wen Chou hissed, and like a god of death, he swung his army into the chaotic Xianbei cavalry.  (To be continued)
