Chapter 385 The disappearing Donghu army [Please subscribe*Please vote]

On the battlefield, silence for more than two days is an extremely fatal thing.

Especially in three days, no useful intelligence information was obtained at all, which would only frighten all the generals.

Even those generals who are famous in ancient and modern times will panic if you let them stay on the battlefield for three days without knowing the enemy's movements.

It's just that as a famous general, he didn't dare to convey this panic to the lower-level soldiers.

Therefore, even though Yan Yan, Luo Bing and others were feeling panic in their hearts, they did not dare to show any signs, let alone let the soldiers at the bottom see their helplessness.

They were directing the army to move forward, but they were not chasing after them at all costs. They only increased the number of scouts. The entire scout battalion had been sent out for more than twenty miles, and the traveling speed was twice as fast as usual.

The Mohist Suzaku also rushed towards the military camps to explore the situation of each army and at the same time to capture the traces of Donghu's army.

"What I'm most worried about is that Dong Hu is playing hard to get!" Yan Yan actually had no idea.

He couldn't see the heavy fog for days, and it was also impossible for Donghu to see it, so he didn't think that Donghu would send troops in the foggy weather.

"Three Thousand Cavalry has a scout team that is tracking the movement of Donghu's army, but we are worried that it is Donghu's old formation, so we should come to join forces with you as soon as possible!"

Similarly, he knew that the Bingzhou Camp might also think so and would move in their direction.

It's just that their maps are not accurate, and the scale is horribly large. There is no accurate map of such small terrain at all.

"I don't think the Donghu dared to attack in the foggy weather. The most likely reason is that they relied on their understanding of the grassland terrain and took advantage of the foggy weather to arrive in a dangerous terrain in advance to set a trap for us!" Luo Bing looked at it! Grassland Map said.

Therefore, in the end, both Yan Yan's and Luo Bing's armies had to slow down their army's marching speed, advance steadily, and did not dare to march hastily.

In the end, both sides rushed towards each other nervously and in tacit understanding. At the same time, they also carefully sent out scouts to prevent being sniped halfway by Dong Hu.

But he has to worry that Donghu is a grassland fighting nation after all, and is more familiar with the grassland weather. What if Donghu has experience fighting in foggy weather?

Because the Bingzhou army passed by the Donghu camp, the top military scouts were able to track the movement of an army as large as 150,000 troops. Those scouts who were good at tracking would definitely be able to find the other party's traces.

Yan Yan, Luo Bing and other top generals looked extremely ugly because... they had lost track of Dong Hu's army!
"Where are the scouts?" Yan Yan asked coldly as he looked at Luo Bing, Dianqing and others before he could exchange greetings.

Finally on the second day, the two sides finally met in an unknown plain northeast of Linhu.

Once the Donghu army sets up an ambush somewhere, it is likely to cause them heavy losses.

But the joy of meeting did not make them happy.

Therefore, even though he knew that marching urgently now was not a good thing, he had to order the march towards the Bingzhou camp.

Luo Bing was not unaware of Donghu's army's mobile defense line, but he was more worried that Donghu had deliberately left it behind. Therefore, for the sake of safety, he chose to lead his army to move towards Yan Yan to complete the rendezvous.

"In which direction did they move?" Yan Yan continued to ask.

What he is a little worried about now is that Dong Hu breaks the pot and attacks Yanmen Pass, which is currently empty in defense. In that case, he will be the sinner of the entire Yanmen Pass Daijun. "North, the specific purpose is unknown, and the scouts have pursued them too far, so they are unable to report back for the time being." Luo Bing replied.

"Huh~" Yan Yan breathed a sigh of relief, it would be better if he didn't go to the south.

As for the lack of rewards for the scouts, that is understandable. After all, they are not marching scouts of the army, and there are successive layers of rewards before and after.

It was a scout tracking the enemy's movements, and it was also a lone army. Only after tracking the enemy, and after completing the investigation, would they send one or two people back to the central army to report.

"What are they doing going north?"

However, doubts also arise. The Donghu army did not come to find themselves, nor did they come to Bingzhou Camp, nor did they go to Yanmen Pass to cause trouble. Instead, they went to the north where there were no enemies. What were they doing?
Afterwards, Yan Yan, Luo Bing and others returned to the map and looked at the empty north on the map with confusion, completely confused as to what Dong Hu was doing.

"You're so cowardly, taking a detour back to Donghu?" Luo Bing frowned and ran to the north. Since there were no enemies in the north, the only possibility was to take advantage of the Huns and escape back to Donghu.

"Is there a person from Donghu among us?" Dianqing frowned. After all, their army is composed of grassland people, and most of them were picked up. It is not impossible for people from Donghu, Xiongnu, and Da Yuezhi to be mixed into them. .

The only doubt is that those who have access to the surprise attack on the royal court plan are trustworthy people who have been verified time and time again by Jin Yiwei.

Yan Yan was also deep in thought. He had already mobilized the armies of Yan and Qin to help out, and even emptied Li Mu's family. Such an opportunity and scale would never happen again, especially since the countries failed to get what they wanted. In the case of interests, the next alliance will be difficult.

As the commander-in-chief of the army and the king of Bingzhou, he not only has to consider the current war, but also the future international situation.

This is why great talents such as Shang Jun and Zhang Yi can only be called great talents and cannot cover up the glory of their monarchs.

Shang Jun's reform can be carried out in Qin only when Qin Xiaogong can win over the external princes. If Qin Xiaogong cannot win over the princes, Shang Jun will not have so much time to lay the foundation for the legal system in Qin. .

"I will make a bold guess!" Meng Tian suddenly said.

Originally, he, as Li Ren's deputy general, should not speak in a military meeting of this level, but Li Ren didn't have any different opinions, so he had to speak.

Although his younger brother Meng Yi had reminded him, if he had any opinions, he should tell Li Ren first and let Li Ren speak up and cater to Shangguan.

But Li Ren refused to take the credit. After all, in Li Ren's view, Meng Tian came to his army to gain gold and gain a good background in Qin in the future, so he didn't mind giving Meng Tian a chance to gain experience.

"Oh?" Everyone looked at Meng Tian, ​​and finally at Li Ren.

Li Ren just smiled and did not reprimand, but encouraged Meng Tian to continue.

"Tell me about it!" Yan Yan asked Meng Tian to continue.

"The general thought that King Tu He and Uncle Hu Dan of Donghu were actually seeking revenge!" Meng Tian thought about a convincing reason.

"Before Donghu went north, they retreated. The situation at that time was that they felt that they were fooled by us and the Huns."
