Outside Hezhou City, the Beidi scouts on the front line finally brought a huge piece of bad news back to their base camp.
"What did you say!" Tuoba Hu's voice was trembling.
"The reinforcements from the King of Yuzhou in the Central Plains... have arrived in Hezhou and are on guard in the city!"
Tuoba Hu closed his eyes in pain and let go of the scout's hand. Shenluzi was calculating the time for reinforcements, so he was calculating. But he didn't expect that the reinforcements from the Central Plains would arrive so quickly.
As a result, it seems that such a strong attack will not be able to defeat Hezhou.
"Shenluzi!" Tuoba Hu turned his head with a cold face. Over and over again, he followed the strategy of the divine deer child, but it seemed that it never succeeded.
"You'd better come up with a way to destroy the city. Otherwise, if there are eagles and sacred deer chasing the Central Plains together, I will tear you apart right here."
Shenluzi was silent, feeling extremely aggrieved in his heart.
The previous plan was considered perfect. He deliberately led the defenders out of the city to ambush them, but he never thought that a brave and honest man would survive. Then when the remnants of the army returned to Hezhou, their morale collapsed and it seemed that they could not hold on. At this time, another crippled little strategist came and used various strategies to block the Beidi army in front of Hezhou.
"Great Khan, why don't you retreat first? There must be many reinforcements from the Central Plains behind, and they are slowly coming over -"
"shut up."
These words of advice were not spoken by Shenluzi, but by a Beidi general. At this time, Tuoba Hu coldly interrupted.
Again, the Great Khan of the Saibei Grassland personally went out to fight, but there was no result at all. Just like the King of Guli or the Marquis of Xiaodu, they were still blocked in front of Hezhou.
If he returns to the Central Plains, the big tribes may unite to overthrow him.
"Great Khan, you can retreat to the camp first and then think of a way. If we attack now, it will be difficult to conquer Hezhou." Shenluzi said hesitantly.
Even if Shenluzi didn't say anything, under this situation, Tuoba Hu also wanted to withdraw his troops. It was nothing more than Shenluzi who gave him a step up.
"Send the order, Ming Jin withdraws the troops!" Tuoba Hu's voice contained an uncontrollable hatred.
…
After dusk, it's night.
The torch at the top of Hezhou City whistled in the night wind, and the light and shadow swayed.
"Little military advisor, the Beidi people have withdrawn." Le Qing came over with a big smile. The Beidi people retreated, which meant that the Hezhou city was temporarily stable.
Dongfang Jing was not too happy. The Beidi people retreated, as he expected. Moreover, he could also estimate that the Beidi people were only retreating temporarily.
Nowadays, wars are raging in the Central Plains. It is evident that Tuoba Hu chose to send troops at this time. It is very possible that many foreigners have already hooked up.
"General Le, please don't be careless."
"This is natural, little military advisor, don't worry."
Dongfang Jing nodded and looked in the direction of Cangzhou through the dark night again.
…
Cangzhou was in constant war for a whole month.
A black-robed messenger relied on Qinggong and used various cover-ups to avoid the eyes and ears of the Allied forces and delivered the collected intelligence to the Demon Queen.
After hearing this, the Demon Queen's face was shocked.
"The lame man Dongfang Jing defended Hezhou?"
"Exactly." The black-robed messenger sighed, "Using the epidemic strategy, both the enemy and ourselves were infected by the epidemic, and they were forced to wait until the reinforcements from the King of Yuzhou arrived."
"Xu Buyi's men are all talented people." The Demon Queen praised coldly. In fact, deep down in her heart, she was filled with hatred.
The war in Cangzhou was unfavorable, and the biggest move was blocked by a lame man in front of Hezhou.
"How is the situation in Hebei?"
"Chang Xiaotang, the king of Yuzhou, switched from offense to defense and did not go out of the city for a decisive battle as expected. His appearance seemed to be holding back my Rouran army."
"Where's Dingzhou?"
"The Hu people haven't sent out troops yet, so they should be watching on the sidelines, still hesitating."
The Demon Queen closed her eyes and sat down.
"This move has a long history. If it weren't for Xu Buyi, the chessboard would have been full of black stones."
"Master, now—"
"Don't be anxious." The Demon Queen opened her eyes, "Heizi still has a chance. But what we have to do now is to defend Cangzhou and delay the war."
"In addition, I have been paying attention to the fact that the Western Shu army that washed ashore was not as powerful as I imagined. I suspect that Xu Buyi is not in that Shu army."
The black robe was stunned, "He is the commander-in-chief of the Western Shu Army? Where can he go if he is not in the army?"
"Xu Buyi has always been cunning. Just like the lame man, no one in the world could have imagined that he would suddenly go to Hezhou."
The black robe fell into deep thought.
"If your father could stay with me, I would be able to talk to him. Unfortunately, he is still in Hebei." After a pause, the Demon Queen raised her head and spoke.
"You must know that the sacred deer and eagles will conquer the Central Plains together. This is not a joke, but a very possible thing."
"Master, I believe it."
"Very good. Go ahead and check Xu Buyi's traces."
…
In the hidden woods of Cangzhou, Xu Mu still did not fall into the war.
Simply put, under the current general trend, Cangzhou will definitely not be able to hold on to its bright side, unless there is something wrong.
Therefore, Xu Mu's intention is to be a moth-catcher.
"Brother Mu, I want to fight, and I want sacks of money!" Si Hu said similar words several times. But every time, he was rejected by Xu Mu.
"Little boss, I'm too busy!" Chang Wei also spoke.
Only Long Ziyun of Gaotang Prefecture, who was nearby, still looked like a general. Coming here this time, according to the wishes of the head of my family, if I can stay with Xu Buyi, I have to learn the skills well.
"Xiao Changwei, do you believe me?"
"letter……"
"Then will you listen?"
"listen……"
After just saying that, Chang Wei left with a grimace. However, his previous responses were all from the bottom of his heart, for the little boss in front of him. In his heart, he was like his own young master, the second person in the world worthy of his bowing down and listening.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves outside the camp was heard, and in the blink of an eye, scouts hurriedly entered the camp.
"Lord, information from Shuzhou."
Xu Mu frowned and waited for a while to open the secret message.
Jia Zhou's letter said that the tiger barbarians outside the Nanlin Mountains were suddenly ready to move. He wanted to invade Shuzhou at all costs. But later, Han Jiu led his troops and relied on the favorable location and city walls to quickly defeat them.
Not a trivial matter. Although Jia Zhou's meaning was not mentioned a word, it was already conveyed.
Even the tiger barbarians may be instigated by the Demon Queen. It's just that Shuzhou's geographical location and the layout it left behind made it impossible for Human to succeed.
Xu Mu was a little lucky that he had asked Lu Xiu to lead the people back to Dingbeiguan.
"Where did the female barbarian come from? There are so many Taoisms." Xu Mu said to himself after tearing the letter into pieces. Si Hu next to him grabbed the letter and ran into the woods again.
"Si Hu, I've wanted to ask you for a long time, what's wrong with you?"
"Brother Mu, I don't believe you."
Xu Mu was speechless for a moment, "I didn't let you eat, so you wouldn't be hungry. In the past few days, didn't you and Chang Wei go up the mountain and kill a few mountain beasts?"
"If there are too many, you can give some to your soldiers."
Si Hu, who was running wildly, was stunned and said something that shocked Xu Mu.
"Brother Mu, I can't even feed myself!"
