Ouyang Ming pointed to the map and said,
"Have you seen this area? This mountain is called Hutou Mountain. Hutou Mountain is located between Weihu County and Jiuyuan County, and borders the grassland. It has many woods, lush vegetation, and wide valleys, which is very conducive to Tibet. Soldier!
Our army can hide here, and then wait for Ning Wushuang to make a detour from here, and then attack suddenly.
As for how to launch a surprise attack, it depends on the location of the enemy. "
Nie Chen looked at the map and frowned,
"Will Ning Wushuang really choose this path? Instead of going to Guiling Pass, go to Qingshui County?"
"Lord, this is Ning Wushuang's only option, forcing our army to fight with them in the field.
In that case, we will send him a field battle, an ambush battle!
Just wait and see, Ning Wushuang will definitely withdraw his troops and set off early tomorrow morning at the latest! "
At this moment, outside the yard, Ma Niubi suddenly ran in and said,
"Lord, the spies just came to report that Ning Wushuang's camp is packing up luggage and tents. It seems that they are preparing to break camp, but they don't know where they are going."
As soon as these words came out, the hall fell silent instantly, and everyone looked at Ouyang Ming as if they were looking at a monster.
Good guy, every move of Ning Wushuang was clearly calculated by Ouyang Ming.
Ouyang Ming smiled slightly and said,
"Ning Wushuang is really impatient. He won't even wait tonight. I know this man. He likes to make dangerous moves. Otherwise, Wang Hao would not have allowed Wang Hao to lead more than a thousand people to resist tens of thousands of troops for two months. ”
Nie Chen stood up and said excitedly,
"Okay, in that case, let's do everything according to what the military advisor said!
Our 150,000 troops will withdraw 130,000 and head to Qingshui County. Liang Peng will be the commander. Just leave 20,000 troops to defend Guiling Pass! "
Ouyang Ming nodded and said,
"It's completely feasible. Judging from the current city defense of Guiling Pass, there is not much difference between a 150,000-strong army defense and a 20,000-person defense. If Ning Wushuang wants to fight back, then we can still send reinforcements.
We have plenty of time to play slowly with Ning Wushuang, because as time goes by, changes will inevitably occur in their army, and our army can even wait for work. "
"Okay, then our army will retreat early tomorrow morning."
Nie Chen looked at the map and said,
"It's just that this time we didn't take the official road or go far away from the county town. We went directly to the foot of the Guiling Mountains to the north. Firstly, we can save time. Secondly, we can also be wary of enemy spies and avoid exposing our whereabouts. !”
"My lord is right, since Ning Wushuang has made a move, we should also take the move properly!"
After everyone finished speaking, Qi Huan said,
"My lord, how about you set off one day later than the army?"
"What? What's the matter?"
Nie Chen asked.
"It's like this. Li Mo originally planned to take Ning Wushuang's parents to our county via a detour from Hukou Pass, but this way, he would have to travel across the entire Hanzhong County, and it would take several days of travel.
Now that Ning Wushuang has evacuated, I want them to come back from Guiling Pass. According to their speed, they will probably arrive tomorrow night, which can save a lot of time. You can also meet Ning Wushuang's parents in person to show your respect. "
"Well, that makes sense. Send a message to Li Mo and ask them to go to Guiling Pass. Early tomorrow morning, Liang Peng and the military advisor will set off with the army first. Qi Huan and I will wait here for Ning Wushuang's parents.
At that time, I will personally meet and make arrangements so that the two old people can be convinced. "
"Okay, that's it."
Early the next morning, the army packed up their tents and luggage, prepared supplies and food, left Guiling Pass in a mighty manner, and marched towards the north.
Nie Chen, on the other hand, stayed in Guiling Pass, waiting for Li Mo to arrive.
In the evening, Nie Chen, who was standing on the top of the city, finally saw a carriage and a team of horses appearing in the distance.
The cavalry moved from far to near, and the gate of Guiling Pass opened directly to let them in.
After entering the pass, the soldiers stopped the carriage.
Li Mo jumped down from the carriage and said,
"Brothers, I am a member of the Shadow Guard and one of my own."
"Of course they know you are one of their own. They stopped you just to welcome the hero back."
There was a sound coming from the stairs next to the city wall.
Li Mo turned around and looked over, overjoyed, and immediately knelt down on one knee and said,
"Li Mo pays homage to the lord!"
"Okay, get up quickly, don't move if you're hurt."
Nie Chen got off the city wall and walked over.
At this time, Ning's father, Ning's mother and Zhou Laopu also got off the carriage.
Li Mo saw this and introduced,
"Old man, this is Lord Nie, the governor of Weihu County."
When the three Ning family members saw Nie Chen, they couldn't help but be shocked. They only knew that Weihu County was occupied by a man named Nie Chen. They naturally thought that Nie Chen would be a middle-aged man or an old man, but they didn't expect that. The other party turned out to be just a young man about twenty years old.
Seeing Nie Chen's warm smile, the three of them were so shocked that they forgot to salute for a moment.
Nie Chen walked up to Li Mo and asked with a frown.
"How did you get hurt?"
Li Mo grinned and said,
"I was shot by a stray arrow when I was escaping from the city. It was nothing serious. I'm much better now."
"Alas, you always do such dangerous things. The last time you were injured in the battle against the county, you were still injured, and you were injured again this time.
I order you to go back to recuperate and give you a long vacation. If you are not injured, you are not allowed to come out and move around! "
Seeing that Nie Chen ignored Ning's parents and came to care about his injuries, Li Mo couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
Li Mo grinned and said,
"Master wants to give me a holiday, how about I go sightseeing? The old man of the Ning family is here too. How about I take him to experience the beautiful scenery of our Weihu County!"
Nie Chen frowned when he heard this. Taking Ning's parents on a trip to relax and have fun was part of his plan, but he wanted others to go and didn't want Li Mo to be tired anymore.
"Master, Mr. Ning is the most familiar with me, so it is most appropriate for me to receive him. I happen to be injured now and can't do other tasks. Why don't you let me go out with Mr. Ning to relax and help me Recuperate, what do you think?"
"Oh, okay, it's all up to you!"
At this time, the three Ning family members held their palms in front of Nie Chen and saluted,
"Old... I pay my respects to Master Nie."
"Meet Mr. Nie."
"Master, please get up quickly. Don't be too polite."
Nie Chen smiled and said,
"I'm really sorry for frightening the old man. I should have invited you back openly, but I am hostile to King Anton. King Anton will definitely not let you leave safely. I have no choice but to take this step. I hope Mr. Ning Forgive me."
Seeing that Nie Chen, as a dignified county guard and the lord of the separatist forces, was so polite to him, Mr. Ning was moved to tears.
He had never tasted this feeling of being respected.
