The sudden commotion in the Jin army soon spread to the Hu Han military camp not far away. Shi Le, who was sleeping in armor, soon learned of the incident.
Shi Le stood in front of the camp and looked at the Jin army camp.
In the dark second half of the night, with only dim starlight, it was impossible to see clearly what was going on in the Jin military camp.
"General, this must be the camp roar of the Jin captives. Why not take this opportunity to launch a surprise attack immediately? We will definitely annihilate their army."
Zhang Bin, the commander-in-chief on the right, spoke to Shi Le.
"But, with this pitch-black sky, we can't see the enemy clearly. What if it's a plot by the Jin captives?"
Kong Chang next to him had a different view.
Because, in this kind of dark night, as long as the army disperses, it will basically lose its command, and all subsequent actions will be beyond the command of the general. If the Jin army really deceives them, a large number of cavalry will rush in. If the progressive soldiers were ambushed, it would be a huge defeat.
"Impossible. These Jin troops are already scared. How can they use any tactic to cheat defeat?"
Zhang Bin, the right commander, refuted Kong Chang's words.
"I think it's better to play it safe. Kong Chang, please take people to investigate immediately. Whether it's the real Ying Xiao or a fake conspiracy, don't pursue it. Come back and report to me first."
Shi Le immediately ordered Kong Chang.
Regarding these Jin troops, Shi Le was not worried that they could escape at night, because if they escaped in the dark, they would not be able to maintain their organization and array, and they would become completely scattered.
After dawn, as long as Shi Le's cavalry pursues them, the fleeing Jin troops will completely lose their ability to resist, and it will turn into a complete massacre.
Soon, Kong Chang, who went to investigate, came back.
"General, these Jin prisoners must have really roared in camp. I saw that the camp on the left wing is already much empty. There are so many Jin troops escaping from the camp that they may not number in the tens of thousands."
When Shi Le heard this, he was already convinced that these Jin troops were not far from death.
"Hahaha, it turns out the sky has eyes."
"Youhou, what time is it now?"
Shi Le turned to Zhang Bin and asked.
"General, you are almost halfway through your ugly days." Zhang Bin, the commander on the right, replied.
"In about half an hour, the sky will light up. Let them run for a while. It won't be too late to chase them after dawn." Shi Le said with a relaxed expression.
"But what if these Jin troops escape?" Kong Chang, who had just returned from the investigation, asked with some worry.
"Run? It only takes half an hour to see where they can run." Shi Le glanced at the direction of the Jin army camp and continued, "Moreover, Shi Hu and Diao Ying's three thousand people blocked the way to the north. Road, no matter how fast these Jin troops run, they will never escape."
"Let these Jin troops make a mess and run away first. When they are exhausted, it is time for us to catch up and kill them."

"Sima Chao! You are a cowardless man!"
In the Chinese army camp at the Jin court in Xingtai, just after learning that Qi King Sima Chao led his troops to leave the camp and escape first, Army Commander Wang Yan immediately jumped to his feet and cursed.
"Lieutenant, what should we do now? As soon as King Qi ran away, the camp on the left wing was completely empty. If the barbarians take the opportunity to attack, they will definitely not be able to stop it."
Liu Wang, the official secretary, looked at Wang Yan anxiously.
Not only Liu Wang, but other Xingtai officials and clan kings also gathered around Wang Yan, all of them panicked and ran out of ideas.
"Where is Liu Zhongyan?!"
Taiwei Wang Yan scanned the crowd for most of the day, but did not see Liu Qiao, the governor of Yuzhou.
Originally, Wang Yan was counting on Liu Qiao, the governor of Yuzhou, to help make decisions, but now Liu Qiao was nowhere to be found.
Wang Yan, who had no idea about the march, was even more panicked now and didn't know how to deal with it.
Suddenly, the entire military camp was noisy, but no one could come up with a useful solution.
After a while, Liu Qiao, the governor of Yuzhou, came in from outside panting.
"The Taiwei, the King of Qi, the King of Liang and others led their troops to escape without authorization. There was a commotion on the left wing of the camp. I had no choice but to kill several people to calm the troops. I also ask the Taiwei to forgive me."
As soon as he came in, Liu Qiao, the governor of Yuzhou, asked Taiwei Wang Yan for help.
Everyone in the camp, through the flickering firelight, could see clearly that the clothes on Liu Qiao, the governor of Yuzhou, were stained with blood.
"What's the situation now?" Taiwei Wang Yan asked immediately.
"Thanks to the timely suppression, all the ministries are now at peace and no major disaster has occurred." After finishing speaking, Liu Qiao, the governor of Yuzhou, sighed and said, "However, now that the soldiers in each battalion know about this, they are afraid of waiting until dawn. The ministries scrambled to retreat and were defeated."
Taiwei Wang Yan and other officials in Taiwan were greatly relieved after hearing Liu Qiao, the governor of Yuzhou, say that the turmoil had been temporarily calmed down.
"Yes, what Brother Zhongyan said makes sense. Fortunately, there is still half an hour until the sky gets brighter. At that time, we will set off with our entire army."
Wang Yan thought that after finally staying up for more than half an hour, he could continue to set off.
After hearing this, King Xiangyang Sima Fan and others all agreed. In this case, they would not fall too far behind the King of Qi and King Liang who had already run away.
Because although King Sima Fan of Xiangyang and others have never heard of the story of encountering a big bear, that is to say, you don’t need to outrun the bear, as long as you can outrun your companions, you can escape with a high probability, but of course they know this reason.
Therefore, these officials and clan kings in Xingtai have already wanted to break camp as soon as possible.
Shi Le, who had been watching from a distance, slowly realized that the commotion in the Jin army camp had slowly subsided, which surprised Shi Le.
"Unexpectedly, there are still some capable people in the Jin army." Shi Le murmured to himself.
However, when the Jin army began to break camp after dawn, Shi Le's contempt arose again.
When the Jin army began to break out of camp at Yinshi, almost all Xingtai officials began to rush northward, regardless of the situation of the military formation.
"Hahaha, the Jin captives are so incompetent, they will definitely die today because of this!"
Seeing that after daybreak, the 100,000 Jin troops began to disorganize themselves, Shi Le felt happy.
"Come here, tell me my order. The whole army will attack and use bows and cavalry to surround and hunt these Jin captives." Shi Le immediately ordered.
"But General, the food is not ready yet. Should we let the men finish eating first and then pursue us?" a general said immediately.
Shi Le turned around and glared at him fiercely and said.
"The thieves are at this moment. As long as these Jin troops are destroyed, there will be no delay in going to court!"
After saying that, Shi Le rode out and led the prepared Hu and Han cavalry towards the Jin army.
Not long after, the entire Hu and Han cavalry army was dispatched, running back and forth and shooting around the Jin army.
