As soon as Cheng Bushi finished speaking, a young captain stood up and knelt on one knee and said.
"Okay, I, the general, will write a letter of divorce now. You must personally deliver it to the king, and ask him to reply and rush back to the camp immediately!"
After Cheng Bushi finished speaking, he took a deep look at the young man. He really didn't want him to take risks.
This boy's father was originally Cheng Bushi's lieutenant. He blocked a cold arrow for Cheng Bushi on the battlefield many years ago and died of his injuries. From then on, Cheng Bushi treated him as if he were his own son.
Cheng Bushi originally didn't want to take him with him on this expedition, but this guy knelt in front of Cheng Bushi's door and begged for three whole days without eating, drinking or sleeping. Cheng Bushi had no choice but to take him. out.
Originally, Cheng Bushi really didn't want to leave this kind of adventure out of the city to him, but now there was really nothing he could do about it, and there was nothing he could do about Ci not commanding the troops.
"Gu Xingzhou, remember this. You must remember it. Be careful! Your own safety is the most important thing. If nothing can be done, your life comes first!"
After finishing the letter, Cheng Bushi called him in front of him and spoke to him in a low voice.
He is the only one left in his family. This brat has not yet been married. After all, he is the only son of his old brother. Cheng Bushi does not want his old brother to end his relationship just like this.
"promise!"
Gu Xingzhou's face was full of excitement. This was the first military order he had received. A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Although he inherited his father's military position, this was his first time on the battlefield. In addition to being a little nervous, he was really excited. .
Gu Xingzhou left directly with the letter. Not long after he left the city, someone suddenly came to report, Huns, there seemed to be movement in the camp, and the Huns seemed to be preparing to leave.
"Come here, gather the troops and prepare the cavalry!"
After hastily ordering the troops to assemble, Cheng Bushi took his generals to the top of the city to observe the situation.
The terrain of Yanmen Pass is steep. From the beginning of the siege to the present, the Huns suffered countless casualties, but they did not take any advantage.
After several consecutive attacks on the city, they no longer took any action. They just camped five miles outside the city and surrounded Yanmen Pass.
The city tower of Yanmen Pass was built on a high place, and the city wall was more than ten feet high. Looking down from the city at this moment, the Huns' movements were all under control.
The Huns had indeed begun to pack their bags, so Cheng was filled with doubts from time to time. Are these Huns really ready to retreat?
Is the siege in the clouds really solved? Is what the messenger said true?
For a moment, Cheng Bushi was really undecided, but seeing the Huns starting to pack up and prepare to set off, he really couldn't hesitate any longer.
These Huns were still eager to show off their power two days ago, without any intention of retreating. The weather has not turned cold yet, but it is not time for the Huns to retreat. There must be other reasons!
"General, you can't hesitate any longer. The left and right sides are just forcing the Huns into the Mouse Valley. Our army is fully capable of doing that. How about this? You lead 10,000 troops and continue to defend the city. Give me 5,000. I will guard the path of the Taurus!"
Wu Jingzheng immediately made a decision. If hesitation continues, the Huns will really run away. If they take the golden bull path, all Liu Deng's efforts will be in vain.
Judging from the map, although the terrain of Jinniu Road is open, if five thousand infantrymen defend it in formation, the Huns will not be able to take advantage of it for at least one day.
Although these Han troops under Cheng Bushi were not good at field combat, they were. Once a military formation is formed, with chariots and soldiers in front, it is not impossible to fight against the Huns' cavalry.
"But sir, if the Huns set up an ambush on the Golden Bull Road..."
This is what Cheng Bushi is most worried about. There are mountains on both sides of Jinniu Road, with a wide road in the middle. Most of the Han troops under his command are infantry. If there is an ambush, it will really be a dead end. ah!
"General, it's only the beginning of October, but it's not yet time for the Huns to withdraw their troops. Don't you think it's strange? I think that what the messenger said is probably true. If there is a chance, I will I want to meet His Highness the Acting King!"
Wu Jingzheng was now almost certain that what the messenger said was true. Otherwise, why would the Huns withdraw in such a panic?
According to usual practice, the Huns should send a messenger to Chang'an to threaten them at this time.
But now they didn't send a messenger or someone to negotiate. Instead, they packed their bags and came. Isn't this the biggest suspicion?
"It's an urgent matter, so Mr. Lao, I'll give you two thousand chariots and five thousand infantry. You must guard the Golden Bull Road for me!"
After hesitating for a long time, Cheng Bushi finally made up his mind. Since it was a war, of course there were risks. Nothing in this world was sure of anything. It all depended on whether God's will was towards the Han Dynasty or not?
"General, don't worry. It seems that these Huns are really going to suffer a big loss this time. I will lead my troops to defend the Golden Bull Road. Those Huns have no way to go. They must go to Ratque Valley. If they are really desperate, If so, the general can take advantage of the situation to cover up the killing!"
Compared with Cheng Wushi's pessimism, Wu Jingzheng was much more optimistic. Before leaving, he did not forget to remind Cheng from time to time.
"Of course I can save this. Sir, this trip is dangerous, but you must be careful along the way!"
"promise!"
After Wu Jingzheng finished speaking, he received the military order and issued it directly. The minister led the army and headed straight for the Golden Bull Road in a mighty manner.
Such a big move by the Han army would certainly attract the attention of the Huns. After hearing the news, Tiebu immediately felt that the situation seemed not good.
But at this time, the army was packing up, and it seemed that it was too late to assemble the army and set off to intercept the Han army immediately.
Han and Hungarians have been at war with each other for many years, although the Han Dynasty people are not good at field warfare. But under the current terrain, if they defended their vehicle formation, the Huns would really be unable to do anything to them.
"Send the order, the army speeds up, don't let go of those miscellaneous things, let's go to Mouse Valley!"
It seems that the Han army has received the news, so they want to send troops to intercept. They can't delay it any longer. If they wait for them to block the Ratque Valley, then they will really become a turtle in the urn.
"Sir, over there with King Zuogu Li..."
Tibur's cousin asked in a lowered voice.
"Send someone over to report it. Tell the truth. Just say that we are ready to leave after dark!"
Tibur hesitated for a moment, then said.
Although Yizhixie is now in decline, there are still 100,000 fine riders from Shan Yu's headquarters on the grassland. They are still an unshakable force...
