Chapter 378: Deceiving each other [Please subscribe*Please vote]

In the frontline military camp in the northeastern part of Bingzhou, Li Ren was extremely anxious. Hu Dan's sudden rebellion exceeded everyone's expectations.

Hu Dan suddenly rebelled with an army of 50,000, and drove tens of thousands of tribesmen toward Linhu and Danlin. Behind Hu Dan was pursued by more than 150,000 Donghu troops.

Hu Dan has sent him a signal for help, hoping that he can lead his army to help stop the Donghu army and jointly fight against the Donghu.

However, Li Ren still thought carefully and did not send troops rashly. Instead, he sent the information back to the Third Prince City and waited for the royal city's decision.

"The general suspects that the other party is not really rebelling!" Meng Tian, ​​who has now arrived in Bingzhou and was assigned to be Li Ren's deputy general, said while looking at the front line.

"Reason!" Li Ren didn't have much hostility towards Meng Tian's arrival. Qin's Wei Peisheng would not stay in Bingzhou forever and would not threaten his own status.

"No reason, just intuition!" Meng Tian shook his head. He couldn't tell the specific reason. He just felt that Hu Dan's rebellion was too strange, and he came directly to their camp.

If Hu Dan is really on the run, wouldn't it be better to flee to the hinterland of Linhu and Danlin?

Perhaps it can be explained that the grassland was afraid of being attacked by Li Mu and did not dare to withdraw to Lin Hu and Dan Lin who did not know whether there were still troops stationed there.

"Then go according to plan!" Hu Dan burned the letter calmly and led the army to continue fleeing towards Li Ren's tribe.

"Your Majesty, General Li Ren will immediately open the road and let Uncle Hu Dan and Wang Shu's troops enter the rear, but contact with the opponent's army is prohibited!" Bai Feng came immediately with Yan Yan's military order.

If they were rushing to aid Hu Dan, why were they not allowed to have contact with Hu Dan?
"Does Your Majesty Bai Feng have any other instructions?" Li Ren asked hurriedly.

But this is impossible. Only he, Mao Dun, King Donghu and General Donghu know about this plan. It is impossible for others to know.

"Ah?" Li Ren frowned, there was something wrong with this military order.

Could it be that there is a traitor or traitor among them who knows their plan?

But what about Dong Hu who is the pursuer?
As a pursuer, would you be willing to see Hu Dan flee to the reinforcement camp without doing anything to stop him?
Any pursuer would definitely drive Hu Dan to where Li Mu is and use Li Mu's hands to destroy the rebel instead of letting him escape to the other party's allies!
"I also felt that something was fishy, ​​so I ordered to retreat thirty miles and not get too close to the opponent!" Li Ren actually couldn't explain the reason. He just felt that something was fishy.

"Your Majesty wants to annihilate Hu Dan's army!" Bai Feng did not hide anything and explained everything he knew.

"Uncle Wang, Bingzhou has replied!" The scout brought back a message from Li Ren's camp.

Perhaps this was the battlefield intuition of veterans like them who had crawled out from the dead, but Li Ren was greatly surprised that a young general like Meng Tian could have such keen battlefield intuition.

On the other side, Hu Dan frowned as he looked at the information sent back by the scouts in his hand. He could not figure out why the Bingzhou army was retreating back instead of coming to meet him.

Hu Dan hurriedly opened the letter and found out the reason. At the same time, he was relieved that the secret was not leaked!
Li Ren retreated simply because the place where they were stationed at that time was not conducive for the army to fight, or it was not suitable for them to block the Donghu army, so he retreated and built defenses in advance to block the pursuing army.

"What if we guess wrong?" Meng Tian hesitated.

Everything is just Sanzicheng's guess. If the guess is wrong, wouldn't it be an accidental injury to friendly forces?
Li Ren and Bai Feng looked at the confused Meng Tian and smiled, which made Meng Tian even more confused.

"Does General Meng Tian know how the people and the army came from Bingzhou?" Li Ren asked with a smile.

Meng Tian shook his head, he didn't know this. Li Ren smiled and explained how they used coercion and inducement to rob people.

Therefore, he was not surprised at all that Yan Yan wanted to take advantage of Hu Dan's situation. Since you are already a loser, how could I, Bingzhou, miss this opportunity?

"..." Meng Tian was stunned. You are the army, you are the lonely warriors of the grassland among the scholars of the Central Plains, you are the pioneers of civilization, but in the end, your actions are worse than bandits!
"So, regardless of whether the Third Prince City's guess is right or wrong, since Hu Dan is here, it is impossible to leave safely without leaving something behind." Li Ren said with a smile.

Especially according to the intelligence, Hu Dan also drove nearly 40,000 people, which is not a proper military achievement!

Bingzhou also has military merit, and it is more simple and crude. How many people can be brought back, no matter how much military merit, is more valuable than murder and beheading.

"In this case, we can't be polite!" Li Ren opened the map with a smile and drew a red line, pointing directly to a canyon behind him.

"We try to get out of the way, let Hu Dan dive in, and then put all his pockets into the bowl!" Li Ren said with a smile.

Meng Tian nodded and faced off head-on. There was nothing they could do against Hu Dan, but if they calculated it mentally or not, Hu Dan would definitely die!
"We have to do a complete performance. We have to make Hu Dan believe that we are here to help, and we have to tell him that the army from behind is also on the way, lest he attack us directly!" Li Ren said after thinking.

Meng Tian nodded, indeed, what if Hu Dan and Dong Hu's target is their vanguard army!

"I'll do it!" Meng Tian took the initiative to ask for orders.

Li Ren shook his head, "You don't know Prairie Huspeak, and Hu Dan has never met you. You won't be convinced if you go, so you come to command the army, and I will personally bring Hu Dan into the bowl!"

"This..." Meng Tian was moved.

As a decoy, it goes without saying that there is danger, but Li Ren allowed him to stay behind, which was a sign of care and concern for him.

"Hu Dan is a grassland sword master. With your current martial arts skills, it is impossible to escape from him!" Li Ren said with a smile.

"But General..." Meng Tian wanted to say something but was interrupted by Li Ren before he could finish.

Li Ren is also not a master sword master, and he may not be his opponent even in a single fight.

"Momojiji, am I a general or am I a general? Just obey orders!" Li Ren didn't give Meng Tian a chance to speak, and directly ordered three thousand elite soldiers, then led the army out of the camp and went straight to Hu Dan's army.

Hu Dan was even more relieved when he saw Li Ren leading his army to respond.

"We haven't seen you for many years. Uncle Wang, how are you doing?" Li Ren asked directly when he saw Hu Dan.

"It's you!" As a master sword master, Hu Dan naturally recognized Li Ren and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, your Majesty already knows Uncle Wang's situation, and ordered me to lead the way. The vanguard army will first block King Donghu's footsteps. Your Majesty will lead the army and will arrive soon!" Li Ren pretended to be free and easy.

Hu Dan's eyes lit up when he heard Li Ren's words.

The original plan was to directly deceive the border guards in Bingzhou, then attack from both sides, annihilate all Li Ren's troops, and then attack Bingzhou with the entire army.

Now that they heard that Yan Yan would lead the army in person, their plan could change. It didn't matter if they only killed one frontier army. They had the opportunity to directly eat the entire Bingzhou army!
