The sky is getting darker and darker, and the temperature is getting lower and lower.
It is impossible for the 90,000 Xiongnu army to sleep outdoors all the time.
What's more, it's so close to the Yizhou Army barracks.
Even if Qubei didn't question him, Huchuquan would still speak out.
As a Xiongnu Chanyu, he was naturally responsible for 90,000 people.
Liu Bao frowned and kept thinking about countermeasures in his mind.
After a long time, Liu Bao slowly spoke.
"Chanyu, send soldiers in to investigate..."
Liu Bao was also forced to do this, and he made this move because he really had no other choice.
No matter what, Liu Bao absolutely could not accept such a dejected retreat.
"Okay, then leave it to King Zuoxian."
Hu Chuquan did not refuse, but he directly pushed back the investigation task.
The intention is also very obvious. Since it is you, Liu Bao, who made the suggestion, you will naturally bear all the consequences.
Liu Bao did not refute, and immediately sent his trusted soldiers to investigate.
As fifty soldiers broke into the Yizhou military camp, the scene became tense again.
Once the screams are heard, it proves that there is an ambush by the Yizhou Army in the camp ahead.
At that time, it will not be a question of whether to withdraw or not, but a matter of retreat immediately.
Time passed little by little again, and there was no movement from the front.
The temperature today was extremely low, but Liu Bao not only couldn't feel the cold, but his armor was filled with sweat.
He was so nervous that Liu Bao could only feel his heart beating violently!
Due to the darkness, I don't know how long it took before the soldiers from the front returned.
Liu Bao was relieved when he saw this.
The soldier was safe and sound, and there was no anxious look on his face.
"Report to King Zuo Xian that there is an empty camp ahead, and no Yizhou Army has been found inside!"
The empty camp turned out to be an empty camp again!
"Have you checked carefully to see if there is anything igniting the fire?"
Facing Liu Bao's question, the soldier quickly shook his head.
The exploration took so long, mainly to determine what was in the camp.
"No! I didn't find anything except the tents!"
It's so strange. What on earth is the Yizhou Army doing?
Liu Bao was filled with shock and doubt, and the resourcefulness he relied on for his pride was no longer enough at this moment.
At this moment, discordant laughter came from the side.
"King Zuo Xian, I have long seen that there is an empty camp in front of me, but you are so stubborn!"
"How about saying that you were scared to death? Is this the king right?"
Liu Bao didn't even need to look to know that he must be lying on the sidelines talking crazy.
It's just that this time Huchuquan didn't reprimand Qubei, but had some recognition in his expression.
Why!
Liu Bao sighed softly in his heart. Even at this point, he was still thinking about internal strife!
Huchuquan, the Chanyu, is really incompetent and only cares about himself and his son. . .
Seeing that Liu Bao didn't reply, Qubei was surprisingly very measured and turned to look at his father.
"Father, in my opinion, everything the Yizhou Army did was to delay our pursuit!"
"Isn't this just holding us back for another day with an empty camp?"
Hu Chuquan nodded slightly, feeling for the first time that his son Qubei was so smart.
"It seems that we have fallen into the Yizhou people's trick again!"
"Forget it, since the Yizhou Army has prepared a camp for us, it's a good time to have a rest here tonight."
"Let's wait until dawn tomorrow before pursuing again!"
After today's lesson, Hu Chuquan also completely understood.
Everything was a conspiracy of the Yizhou Army. They were using various methods to slow down the advance of the Xiongnu army.
However, this also confirms Liu Bao's remarks from the side. The Yizhou Army has serious problems with its military strength.
For this reason, Hu Chuquan also had an idea in his mind.
The Yizhou Army in Hedong County must be vulnerable!
"Go to Beibei, and take someone to carefully investigate the situation in the camp."
"Remember, what happened in Pingyang City is something I don't want to experience again!"
When I saw my father entrusting me with the task, I was overjoyed when I went to Pelton.
"Father, don't worry, your child will be safe!"
"Wait a moment!"
Qubei had just moved half a step when he heard Liu Bao's shout, and his face suddenly darkened.
"Why, King Zuo Xian is worried about me and is planning to go there in person?"
Liu Bao ignored Qubei and looked directly at Huchuquan.
"Chanyu, I understand, I understand everything!"
If Hu Chuquan had heard this sentence yesterday, he might have been a little surprised.
But Liu Bao made stupid decisions frequently for two days in a row, and was plotted by the Yizhou Army at every turn.
The credibility of his words in Hu Chuquan's heart has been greatly reduced.
Even Hu Chuquan was thinking that if he had listened to his son's resignation earlier, he might have caught up with the Yizhou Army now!
But after all, it was King Zuo Xian, the number two figure in the Huns, Huchuquan who still gave Liu Bao this opportunity.
"King Zuoxian, what do you understand?"
"Chanyu, the Yizhou Army calculated that because of the incident in Pingyang City, we would not dare to risk entering the camp easily, so they set up an empty camp!"
"The purpose is also obvious, to hold us back!"
"If we enter the camp to rest, we will have to spend energy to investigate carefully, and the soldiers will not be able to rest peacefully because of the fire last night."
"Even if you rest for one night, you will be very tired tomorrow, which will be even less conducive to pursuing the Yizhou Army!"
Liu Bao danced and said all his analysis and conclusions in one breath.
Hu Chuquan neither approved nor objected, but asked instead,
"Then what are you going to do?"
Liu Bao's eyes lit up, and a sneer gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"The Yizhou Army must have thought that we were resting in the camp at this moment, so we did the opposite and immediately led our troops to pursue us!"
"The Han people have a saying, which is to catch the enemy unawares and attack them unprepared!"
"The Yizhou Army would never have imagined that we would launch a pursuit at night, so naturally they would not have any precautions!"
"Victory is at hand, Shanyu, don't miss this opportunity!"
Hu Chuquan nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and the more he thought about it, the more reasonable it became.
If we follow the plan step by step, we will definitely be plotted by the Yizhou Army.
Only by winning by surprise can you gain a chance of victory.
"good..."
"no!"
Just as Hu Chuquan was about to agree to Liu Bao's plan, he was immediately met with opposition from Qubei.
"We must not march now!"
Hu Chuquan frowned and looked at Qubei with some confusion.
"Why?"
"Father, our soldiers have not only been running around all day, but they have also been without food for a whole day!"
"At this time, the most important thing is to let the soldiers have enough food and sleep well!"
After hearing Qubei's words, Huchuquan fell into entanglement again.
What Liu Bao said made sense, and what Qubei said made sense, which immediately put Huchuquan in a dilemma.
"this..."
Liu Bao was worried, maybe the Yizhou Army was escorting the people to evacuate.
For every delay, there is a possibility of change.
"Chanyu, don't miss this opportunity! We are definitely exhausted. At least we have rested for several hours just now."
"But the Yizhou Army doesn't even have a chance to rest. They have to travel day and night!"
"At this moment, the Yizhou Army must be out of men and horses!"
"With just one battle, the Yizhou Army will be completely defeated!"
