The Zhenbei Army is terrifying, but the King of Zhenbei is even more terrifying. The reason why the Xianbei people went through such a big detour was to lure the King of Zhenbei away before taking any action. This shows how much they fear Qu Yunmie. Before Qu Yunmie really goes deep into the hinterland, they certainly won't dare to come out.
In other words, they should have just taken action not long ago, and as long as the scouts go and come back quickly, they will still have time.
Jian Qiao did not dare to sleep that night. He sent out the scouts before midnight, and the messenger came in just after dawn.
Of course, it wasn’t that scout. The scout was still on his way back, but he sent the intelligence back using the army’s unique signal.
When he heard that a large number of troops were marching in Liangzhou, Jian Qiao stood up suddenly.
He was well prepared. He asked his personal soldiers to send out several letters while he rode at full speed to Yanmen County.
The main forces are over there, and he only has 50,000 men under his command, so he has to call on others to go with him.
There was chaos here, but Xiao Rong in the inn was still sleeping soundly.
It was not until noon that he finally got up. He yawned and stretched. After stretching, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Hey, why do I feel so refreshed and light as a swallow today?
My body no longer feels heavy, and the vague feeling of weakness is gone.
He quickly came down to look in the mirror, and the person in the mirror didn't look so pale anymore.
Oh my god - there is such a good thing?!
Xiao Rong was very happy, he thought that the intelligence he sent was effective. In the original history, although the Xianbei people launched a sneak attack and did not actually reach Chang'an and control the fortress, they burned, killed and looted in Hezhou and Qinzhou, and harmed many people. And because this was all under the rule of King Zhenbei, the people naturally took their anger out on Qu Yunmie.
Coupled with the instigation of some people, Qu Yunmie instantly went from being a great hero in the hearts of the people to a big bear. …
Xiao Rong couldn't help but laugh out loud, "See, Qu Yunmie, you finally understand how powerful I am."
However, Qu Yunmie had not yet received the information sent by Jian Qiao.
He did not continue to march towards Yizhou. Instead, after thinking for a moment, he suddenly turned his horse around and galloped back to Anding City at a faster speed.
The subordinates behind him didn't understand why he changed his mind, so they had to follow him.
He was supposed to encounter the sneaky Xianbei people outside the city of Anding and have a big fight with them, but when he arrived, a big fight had already broken out here.
And it was no longer 60,000 Xianbei cavalry against his 20,000 infantry, but 60,000 Xianbei cavalry against 50,000 Zhenbei cavalry and 70,000 infantry.
The Xianbei people were actually very good at fighting, otherwise they would not have beaten the Northern Yong Dynasty so hard that it cried for its parents and almost perished in their hands. But how could the Yong Dynasty's trash be compared with the Zhenbei Army.
In a one-to-one situation, the Xianbei people could not get any advantage from the Zhenbei Army, let alone now that the ratio was one to two. When Qu Yunmie arrived and saw the king was here, his morale doubled and soared to one to four.
Now this group of Xianbei people who launched a surprise attack can also experience what it means to be beaten to the point of crying for help.
The Xianbei people were despicable. When they saw they couldn't win, they just wanted to attack the city. They entered Anding City, set it on fire, robbed a few people and ran away. If it weren't for this 120,000-strong army, Qu Yunmie himself probably wouldn't have been able to stop them.
But, who can blame us for having an army of 120,000 here?
In just one day, the Xianbei were defeated and abandoned their weapons. The intelligence was wrong. They came in for a surprise attack, not to fight to the death. Naturally, when they saw that the situation was not good, they immediately withdrew. Qu Yunmie was in the front, constantly urging the swift horses. He usually used a knife, but on the battlefield he used a spear. His special spear was called the Xueyinchou Spear. The blade was sharp and could cut through hair. It had three prongs on it. The whole spear weighed forty kilograms, but only Qu Yunmie could wield it as if it weighed nothing.
And every time he swung, he could take the lives of at least three enemies.
The Xianbei were the mortal enemies of Qu Yunmie and the Zhenbei Army. When they saw the Xianbei, they would kill them.
After chasing for more than a hundred miles, the rage-seeking Qu Yunmie finally regained his composure. Fortunately, his horse was strong enough, otherwise, he would have been exhausted and vomited blood.
After returning to the army, Qu Yunmie finally remembered to ask why the army arrived faster than him.
He returned suddenly at that time, and he was not sure whether his guess was correct. He just wanted to test the truth. Who was so capable that he was so sure that something happened here and directly brought out one-third of the troops from Yanmen Pass?
Jian Qiao had already returned, and it was another of his subordinates, who was also his childhood friend, who answered his question.
"General Jian received the intelligence and sent scouts to Liangzhou to investigate. Only then did he discover the traces of the Xianbei people. I sent someone to deliver a letter to the king, but I didn't expect the king to arrive so quickly. I'm afraid he missed the messenger."
The person who spoke was called Yuan Baifu. It was such a festive name and he looked very kind, unlike other generals.
Qu Yunmie hated beautiful people. Yuan Baifu was not particularly beautiful, but she was indeed pretty. Fortunately, he and Qu Yunmie had a friendship, so she was able to stay under his nose for a long time.
Qu Yunmie said "oh" and asked, "Where is Jian Qiao?"
Yuan Baifu smiled and said, "He said he was going back to Pingyang to take care of something extremely urgent."
A question mark popped up in Qu Yunmie’s head. Is there anything more urgent than counting military merits?
He couldn't think of anything, but the person had already left anyway. He shook his head, threw the Xueyinchou Spear casually to a soldier, and went into the tent to rest.
After chasing for 200 miles, he was a little tired. He didn't plan to go to Yizhou. Yuan Baifu happened to be here, so he sent him. ...
Another day passed, and the unshaven-bearded General Jian finally returned to Pingyang.
He rushed to the inn where Xiao Rong was staying, and shouted excitedly to the people upstairs: "Sir! Mr. Xiao, please forgive me for being blind, you are so talented, you are so talented!!!"
Inside the room, Xiao Rong held the teacup and took a sip leisurely, as if he hadn't heard anything. He also instructed Ah Shu: "Put more dates in it."
Ashu: “…”
He silently added another handful of red dates to the tea stove in front of him.
The noise outside was really loud, and because no one opened the door for him, Ashu heard that the general seemed to be about to cry. He couldn't help asking: "Master, won't you open the door for him?"
Xiao Rong smiled slightly and replied with a vengeance: "No, just leave him alone."
The author has something to say:
Jian Qiao: I am innocent. Qu Yunmie: If you plead guilty for me, I will take good care of your family. Jian Qiao: ...
