"Oh?" Yan Yan became interested and looked at Dugu Longcheng.

"To the northeast of Wuwei City, there is a beast path that allows small groups of troops to pass quickly and bypass Wuwei City directly." Dugu Ming continued.

"However, once you bypass Wuwei City, you still have to take the main road. But there are checkpoints set up by King Xiutu's army on the main road, so it's not easy to pass through."

Yan Yan nodded. The Danxia landform of the Hexi Corridor meant that there was only one main road to pass through the Hexi Corridor, and the rest were insurmountable mountains and ridges.

"It's a pity that Li Ren and Luo Bing are not here!" Yan Yan sighed.

If Li Ren and Luo Bing were here, they would definitely know what to do.

After all, they had followed Yan Yan and openly pretended to be a Hu army and broke into the Hu rear baggage camp.

If they were still there, they could easily imitate what they did last year and lead their army to openly block King Xiutu's retreat route.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to give it a try."

At this moment, Cao Shen, who was following him, spoke.

"It's too dangerous!" Yan Yan shook his head.

Whether this is a solitary expedition or infiltrating the enemy camp, once discovered, there is no doubt that they will die.

Moreover, since only a small number of troops could take the detour, it would be difficult for them to compete with King Xiutu's army.

"Your Majesty has actually already made a plan, hasn't he?" Dugu Ming looked at Yan Yan deeply.

Dugu Longcheng and Cao Shen looked at Dugu Ming in confusion, and then looked at Yan Yan.

Yan Yan smiled, worthy of being Dugu, the genes are really good.

"Then is the Dugu family willing?" Yan Yan asked Dugu Ming.

Dugu Ming looked at Yan Yan, then looked at Dugu Yanzhi beside him, and finally spoke slowly, "I am willing to give it a try, but I have a request!"

"Please speak, Dugu Qing!" Yan Yan nodded in agreement.

"Let Yanzhi enter the palace!" Dugu Ming said solemnly.

The Dugu family has no power or backing in Bingzhou.

Once their rebellion is exposed, they can only cling to Bingjun's thigh tightly, otherwise they will have no place to stand in the entire grassland.

Instead of trusting others, it is better to cultivate one of your own in the palace.

Yan Yan glanced at the beautiful Dugu Yanzhi who was sitting quietly beside him, and understood that this was a way out left by Dugu Ming for the Dugu family.

"Yes!" Yan Yan nodded.

Dugu Ming breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Bing Jun agreed, then even if the truth came to light in the future, they would still be people without background in Bingzhou.

Because of their status as royal relatives and nobles, no one dared to touch them even if they were surrendered generals.

"Longcheng, I'll leave this matter to you!" Dugu Ming turned and looked at Dugu Longcheng.

"Ah?" Dugu Longcheng was stunned. He had no idea what the two people were talking about.

"Stupid!" Dugu Ming cursed, then revealed his entire plan.

King Xiutu did not know that the Dugu family had rebelled, and did not know that Dugu Longcheng had been captured.

This is their advantage. They can stage a drama under the city of Wuwei, let Dugu Longcheng fight with Bingzhou Yulin Guards, and then withdraw to Wuwei City, retreat to the rear in the name of rest, and then take the initiative to go to Jinchang on the grounds of supporting each other.

Dugu Longcheng suddenly realized that this was actually possible.

But wouldn’t it be better for them to directly cut off King Xiutu’s retreat?

"First, you may not be able to stop the frantic retreat of the Jin and Yan families. Secondly, even if you can stop the armies of the Jin and Yan families, what about the rear?" Yan Yan explained.

What they are facing now is only the army of King Xiutu, but once Dugu Longcheng leads his army to intercept King Xiutu's army, then the army of King Hunxie from Zhangye and Jiuquan in the rear will definitely come to support. By then, Dugu's army will be attacked from both sides and will be completely wiped out.

"Thank you for your understanding, my lord!" Dugu Ming thanked him gratefully.

Dugu Longcheng finally understood Dugu Ming's painstaking efforts.

In Bingzhou as in the Xiongnu, the Dugu clan must have their own army, otherwise they will be at the mercy of others.

"Cao Shen!" Yan Yan walked back to the main seat and gave orders.

"Here!" Cao Shen hurried out.

"I will appoint you as the military supervisor and cooperate with General Dugu Longcheng to pretend to withdraw to Wuwei City and seize Jinchang."

"Here!"

Cao Shen and Dugu Longcheng stepped forward to receive the order.

Dian Qing and the others were stunned. Although they wanted to object, after seeing Yan Yan's eyes, they kept their doubts to themselves.

"Don't employ people you doubt, and don't doubt people you employ!" Yan Yan said calmly.

As for playing around?

None of them are just acting on the spur of the moment.

After all, Dugu Longcheng was really attacked by the Yulin Guards, and the blood on the armor of Dugu’s army was also real.

Dugu Ming returned to Wuwei City alone, quietly waiting for the show to begin the next day.

The next morning, the thick fog dissipated, and Dugu Ming followed King Xiutu and Yanshi to the top of the city wall. Then he saw that to the north of the military camp, a large army was slowly approaching the direction of Wuwei.

"It's my son Dugu Longcheng!" Dugu Ming pretended to be surprised and looked to the north.

"Dugu's army was not defeated by Bingzhou's army?" King Xiutu was also stunned.

This can be said to be the best news they have received in recent times.

"I thought I would never be able to see my son again in this life!" Dugu Ming covered his face with tears and cried.

King Xiutu and Yanshi both patted Dugu Ming's shoulders comfortingly. They were also fathers, so they could naturally empathize with him.

They also thought that Dugu Longcheng's entire army was wiped out.

But I didn't expect that Dugu Longcheng would be blessed with good fortune.

"We can't let Longcheng face the Bingzhou army alone. We must attract the Bingzhou army's firepower and let him lead his troops into the city." King Xiutu said seriously as he looked at the Bingzhou army that was about to set out to intercept Dugu Longcheng.

"This... We can't let the warriors take risks. Once we go out of the city to fight, we will most likely be left outside the city by the Bingzhou army." Dugu Ming objected decisively.

"No problem!" King Xiutu waved his hand and ordered the city gates to be opened. He took the initiative to attack and attract the Bingzhou army to Dugu Longcheng. At the same time, he sent a detachment to meet Dugu Longcheng and enter the city.

The fact was just as King Xiutu had thought, the city gates were opened, the Hun army was dispatched, and the Bingzhou central army was mobilized in chaos. The number of troops going to intercept Dugu Longcheng was also decreasing. More troops were transferred to the front to fight with the Hun army, intending to rush into the city.

However, the Hun army did not stay away from the shooting range of the archers on the city, so the Bingzhou army did not dare to cross the border easily and was blocked outside the city.

Then Dugu Longcheng, who had been fleeing all the way, led his army to break through the blockade of the Bingzhou army, joined forces with the army that came out of the city to support them, and quickly retreated towards Wuwei City.

When Dugu Longcheng led his troops to retreat into the city, King Xiutu again ordered the army to withdraw to the city and close the city gates.

"This is a play, and we can't even hit the target..." Everyone in the Shesheng Camp was helpless.

If they were asked to shoot accurately, they would not make any mistakes at all. However, this time the requirement was to make them miss the target, which was a bit embarrassing.
