Now let alone drinking, Sun Bi can’t even eat food.

After temporarily dispelling the heavy mountain based on what he needed to consider, Sun Bi and Li Ling sat in the backyard hall in a glance. The food on the table was already cold and the two of them didn't have a few bites.

"How could this happen? Did they really see through my plan, so they pulled away in time?" Sun Bi murmured, and he had said the same words no less than ten times.

This incident brought him a great impact. As the plan was about to be completed, he might be able to defeat the foreign enemy in one battle and reach the peak. As a result, it was suddenly a turning point. The Guirong Ren jumped out of the encirclement first, making him no longer know how to deal with it.

The only thing Li Ling could do was to comfort him: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Maybe the things are not as you think. It's not that the Gui Rong people are so smart that they can see something wrong, but that they really can't deal with the enemy in front and behind, and the soldiers who retreated..."

"Do you know how many soldiers and horses the two generals who went to rescue Yingzhou this time brought? Five thousand, only five thousand people. Do you think they can really turn the whole battle with these five thousand people?" Sun Bi opened his right hand and slapped it on the table, asking in a deep voice.

Li Ling couldn't speak at all. Even if he didn't know the soldiers, he knew that in front of the 80,000 elite troops, five thousand reinforcements could not be threatened. Even if it was a sneak attack, they could still turn around and fight calmly. As for the defenders in the city, only 30,000 people might have the power to fight with the city. But if you really fight out of the city and fight head-on, you can't defeat the enemy in one battle.

"But now? Gui Rong not only withdrew his troops, but also retreated so simply. Isn't this enough to explain the problem?" Sun Bi said again, his face so gloomy that it could drip into water.

Li Ling also felt that things were getting worse and worse, but at the same time he had some questions, or luck: "Since this matter is so unreasonable, can General Chen's experience not tell me? But he acted more just joy without any concerns."

"Of course he had no worries, because first of all, I haven't explained the overall plan to him. After all, in my plan, Yingzhou will lose, and Youzhou will also become a bait chip, which may not be what he is willing to see; secondly, this time, this time, Zhao Feijie and Qian Jin are both his confidants, and they have made such great contributions, so he will naturally be the first to be.

"So even if he sees that the Guirong people retreating strangely, there will be no doubts. On the contrary, in order to expand the results of the battle, he will inevitably incite the soldiers below to ask me for battle, and ask me to send troops immediately to pursue Guirong!"

Speaking of this, the worry on his face became more and more obvious. The subsequent impact of Gui Rong's retreat on him was really constant. The subordinates who had finally been suppressed began to move again, and all the plans were lost, and even the next initiative fell into the hands of others.

Such an opportunity is ahead, let alone border generals like Shen Chongshan, even the generals of the Central Plains who came with Sun Bi are afraid they can't wait to pursue them on their own initiative. After all, they traveled thousands of miles to the northern border, but did not really suffer, but to make achievements. The credit that seems to have broken the enemy is close to us, so how can they hold back?

Li Ling could also understand Sun Bi's difficulties. It was obvious that Gui Rong really saw this time, or felt a crisis, so he simply took a move to retreat, and instead he would die Sun Bi, who was originally sitting in Diaoyutai. If he did not move his troops, it would definitely have a huge blow to the morale of the army. Once the Yingzhou army was in the pursuit, all the charges would inevitably fall on him alone.

Chasing, or not chasing, is now a very difficult problem to draw conclusions.

After a sigh, Li Ling's heart suddenly moved: "No, Prince... Gui Rong's withdrawal problem this time is more serious than what we think!"

"Huh?" Sun Bi looked up in confusion. At this time, he was so upset that he was so upset that he really didn't think deeper.

Li Ling was not polite and said anxiously: "Prince, didn't you say just now? The soldiers and horses in Jinzhou were already on the way to come. In order to cover up, they deliberately entered the grassland from Jinzhou and crossed. In other words, they came from the northwest direction.

"And Gui Rong's retreat this time was also heading northwest. In this way, the two sides would probably meet at a certain point in time. At that time... Jinzhou, which was completely unprepared, would probably suffer a great loss."

"Bang--" A heavy punch was hit on the table, shaking the cups and dishes on the table, making the table jump around. Sun Bi finally lost his composure and his face twisted: "Someone leaked military information, otherwise how could Guirong people have done such a response! You are right, they are forcing me to send troops from Youzhou and want to fight me on the grassland!

"In this way, I lost the right time and place, and all the previous arrangements could no longer pose a threat to them, and the initiative had fallen into his hands. The root of all this is that Gui Rong controlled the movements of our army and had expected my overall plan earlier. There were Gui Rong spies in my court!"

Li Ling looked extremely serious when he heard this, and the matter was even more serious than he thought. If it were just speculated by the Guirong people based on the current battle situation, it would be fine, but if someone really kept leaking military information, the consequences would be too serious.

So he couldn't help but say, "Prince, it's better to hold your troops and keep moving..." Since the enemy is forcing them to take the initiative, it's simply not as good as he wishes and continue to defend in Youzhou.

Sun Bi sighed, his face full of bitterness: "It's impossible. Judging from the current situation, Dong Gongwang's troops and Gui Rong will inevitably collide soon. If you are prepared and unprepared, our Jinzhou army will be defeated. Once his army is defeated by the enemy, it means that the defense line on the west line will be completely opened by Gui Rong. If I don't send troops at that time, Gui Rong can choose to break into the northern border from the western front and advance to the Central Plains... By then, even if the father is willing to believe in me, all the ministers and ministers in the court will not let me go!

"So, in this game, they didn't give me any choice. Even though I knew that there was a huge trap ahead, I could only jump down!"

This is an unyielding plot. Even if Li Ling and the other two have seen through everything, they cannot solve it. They have no choice but to go all the way to the dark.

After taking a few deep breaths to calm down his emotions, Sun Bi looked at Li Ling and said solemnly: "Wen Zhong, tomorrow I will lead my troops to pursue Gui Rong. At the same time, I will leave 15,000 troops to guard the city. I will ask you for everything here!"

Li Ling looked back at him, and his face became more and more serious: "Don't worry, Master Li Ling, I, will definitely defend Youzhou to the death and ensure the logistics supply!"

At this point, there is no need to say too much, just one promise is enough!

...

At the junction of northern borders and grasslands, there are large desolate Gobi deserts, and there are also many passes and cities that spread out continuously, becoming border fortresses that block the Central Plains and isolate the north and south.

However, when facing the huge number of Guirong troops that suddenly entered, these barriers could not really block the enemy's invasion. Many barriers had even fallen into the enemy's hands and became transit stations for them to hoard food and transport the wealth and population plundered from the Central Plains.

This is the case for the Wohu Pass, 80 miles northwest of Yingzhou. At this time, the Great Yue Army Flag above the Pass has been replaced by Gui Rong's wolf-headed flag. Hundreds of Han people were driven to transport food and grass onto a vehicle, surrounded by Gui Rong's arched swords and swords. The fierce-looking Gui Rong soldiers would be attacked from all sides and died on the spot whenever they had any abnormal movements.

Such a situation made the people of Dayue who were captured from Xuanzhou and other places and the government troops could only follow the instructions and do things according to their instructions, and they didn't even have the courage to look around. Naturally, they would not find that at the height of the pass, a man who looked the same as them and was also a Han citizen in the Central Plains was standing by the tall man with the most luxurious clothes, and the two could talk casually. It was obvious that the relationship was extremely close.

He has a long face and a tall forehead, a wide mouth, and his whole body exudes a compelling aura, as if as long as he takes action, even gods and Buddhas can be cut by a knife. This tall man who can make any close-range look at him will be afraid of him from the bottom of his heart is the Khan Tie Lezhen, the new Lord of Mobei and the Guirong tribes who are recognized by the Khan and Tie Lezhen!

He was originally just a small clan leader in the Wei tribe in the Mobei Secretariat, but he was naturally warlike and good at fighting, but he relied on his powerful strength to continue to lead tribal warriors to fight one after another, thus becoming the leader of the Wei tribe in the entire Wei tribe in just ten years.

Then four years ago, a greater opportunity was put in front of him. Because the Gui Rong tribes suddenly joined forces to invade the Central Plains, resulting in the emptiness of the tribes in the northern desert grasslands, Tie Lezhen decisively took advantage of the situation to launch a surprise attack, and actually destroyed seven or eight tribes in one breath, plundering their population and wealth into his own hands.

That's not all. When the tribes who went south to plunder but were eventually defeated by the Great Vietnamese border army, they had to retreat back to the grassland in a mess. When they returned home, the Shiwei tribe, who had been raising their strength, launched a new war again.

The final result was naturally that these people were all defeated by the light horse led by Tie Lezhen, and the wealth and population they plundered at a huge price also fell into his family's hands, thus greatly enhancing the strength of the Shiwei tribe.

However, if you want to ask Tielezhen what his biggest gain was four years ago, the answer he would give without hesitation was not to obtain those huge wealth or tens of thousands of slaves of the population, but to be a person, a person who was by his side at this time and had long been regarded as a confidant by him - Wang Hui.
