Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 508 True Intention
"How did Tuoba Tao appear there?"

Liu Yizhen came to the map and drew a big circle around Fanyang County with his fingers.

"Tuoba Tao predicted that we would camp in a few counties to the south, and would not go directly to Zhuo County, so he made a circle and wanted to attack us from the rear?"

For a moment, everyone in the tent was startled by Tuoba Tao's elusive presence, and someone even asked to lead troops out to meet the enemy immediately.

"What are you panicking about?"

Liu Yizhen pointed to his rear area on the map: "Forgot what I said? You must not rashly expose yourself on the plain and give Tuoba Tao cavalry a chance to attack."

"Although Tuoba Tao has arrived at the rear of our army, soldiers from all over the city are gathering to guard the city, and food and grass have been transported into the city early. Tuoba Tao's army can't get any food supplements at all. In addition, he can go around so quickly. When you go to the rear of our army, you must not have much rations with you, so there is nothing to worry about."

The facts are just as Liu Yizhen expected.

After Tuoba Tao led and appeared behind Liu Song's army, he was not in a hurry to attack Fanyang, Zunxian or Gu'an.

First, he cautiously tested Liu Yizhen's attitude. Seeing that Liu Yizhen ignored him, he set his sights on several surrounding villages and towns.

However, the food from the surrounding villages and towns was transported to Zhuo County by Shen Qingzhi early on, and the people were basically relocated out of the war zone. The food that Tuoba Tao could plunder was not enough to support his army that was eating horses and chewing horses every day, so Tuoba Tao chose the Hejian country where Liu Yizhen stored a large amount of food and supplies.

Yuan Huzhi, who was guarding the Hejian Kingdom, didn't panic, anyway, he was clinging to the line of defense, resolutely not sending troops to give Tuoba Tao any chance.

Seeing that Hejian Kingdom was difficult to conquer, Tuoba Tao immediately ran away without the slightest hesitation.

Today's Tuoba Tao is like a headless fly in the back of Liu Song's army, ramming back and forth in various solid walls...

This kind of tactics, not to mention all the generals of the Song Army, even Liu Yizhen was a little confused by Tuoba Tao.

What the hell is this guy doing?
Take your own life as a joke?

You know, Tuoba Tao didn't carry much military rations, and bumping around in Hebei was a very morale-destroying thing. Could it be that he wanted to lure himself out to fight him?
If you can't think about it, you don't want to.

Liu Yizhen watched Tuoba Tao's performance silently in Fanyang County. He had the dual intelligence of army scouts and Jin Yiwei. Liu Yizhen was not worried about being played by Tuoba Tao, so he naturally sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.

Finally after the fifth day.

That is to say, when the generals and staff of the Song Army calculated the deadline for Tuoba Tao's army to run out of food, Tuoba Tao finally moved.

This time, he no longer ran around erratically, but launched a general attack on the Tan Daoji Department stationed in Gu'an!

"Tuoba Tao finally couldn't bear to attack the city."

From the perspective of Liu Yizhen, Wang Zhen'e, and Tan Daoji, Tan Daoji is undoubtedly a "soft persimmon".

But Tan Daoji has always defended the strong and attacked the weak, so after seeing Tuoba Tao choose Tan Daoji, Liu Yizhen felt much more at ease.

"Be optimistic about those Northern Wei cavalry in the south of Zhuo County."

Liu Yizhen decided not to take care of the Tan Daoji Department for the time being, but locked on the [-] Qingqi who had been ignoring these days.

"Send an order to Wang Zhen'e to send some soldiers to bring out the Shenqing Department in Zhuo County at this time."

"Zhuo County, we don't want it anymore."

The current Zhuo County is clearly surrounded by the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty, who knows what will happen in the future if you continue to defend it, the right way is to take Shen Qingzhi and others out and consolidate the front.

But after the scouts in charge of conveying orders left, Liu Yi still felt uneasy from the bottom of his heart.

Liu Yilong, who was closest to Liu Yizhen, noticed that Liu Yizhen was abnormal, so he stepped forward and asked, "Is the emperor worried about something?"

"Ah."

Liu Yizhen closed his eyes: "Tuoba Tao's behavior in the past few days is a bit like taking off his pants and farting."

"If I were him, even if I didn't continue to attack Zhuo County, I would divide my troops towards the Bohai Sea and weaken the strength of our army in the direction of Fan Yang. But he unexpectedly ran behind our army for no reason, as if... as if..."

Wang Maide answered at this time: "It seems that Tuoba Tao is deliberately showing weakness."

"That's right!"

Liu Yizhen smashed the table: "That's what it means!"

It is true that the Northern Wei Dynasty was indeed weaker than Liu Song, especially since Liu Yizhen came to Hebei, the military strength of the two countries in Hebei has further expanded.

But does being weak mean showing weakness?

Thanks to Liu Yizhen's "Cui Hao blowing", and from time to time he compared Tuoba Tao with He Lianbo, Liu Song didn't think that the Northern Wei Dynasty was a good one to deal with, so seeing Tuoba Tao's chaos at this time What is more in the heart of running is not pleasure, but doubts.

In their view, Tuoba Tao should be able to achieve greater results than now and inflict greater losses on Liu Song.

but no.

Could it be that Tuoba Tao is an idiot?
Not right either.

If Tuoba Tao is really an idiot, it is impossible to achieve the current achievements at a young age.

unless……

He was showing weakness, he wanted to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and inflicted serious damage on Liu Song in one fell swoop!

Attacking Tan Daoji... Obviously, it is not a serious injury, not to mention that Tan Daoji's defensive ability is online, so don't be careless and get smashed.

That's me?

Liu Yizhen was suddenly alert.

"Explore in the direction of Gu'an! Find out where Tuoba Tao is!"

The originally peaceful military camp suddenly became turbulent, and countless soldiers and horses moved in the military camp, gathering the surrounding information into the central tent of the emperor.

"Tuoba Tao is indeed preparing to attack the city!"

"Tuoba Tao began to build large-scale siege equipment!"

"General Tan Daoji reported back, so that the emperor can rest assured."

"..."

One piece of news seemed to confirm that Tuoba Tao really wanted to attack Gu'an, but Liu Yizhen still felt that something was wrong.

at last.

A strange scout walked to Liu Yizhen's tent and handed Liu Yizhen a letter of information.

"The team sent by General Wang Zhen'e to pick up Shen Qingzhi's troops has been attacked!"

Not long after Liu Yizhen learned about this, new news came from Gu'an——

"Tuoba Tao dropped the half-repaired siege equipment and rushed towards the headquarters camp!"

Two successive thunderstorms were thrown into Liu Yizhen's account, and Liu Yizhen also knew that Tuoba Tao must be serious this time.

"Where did the soldiers and horses who attacked Wang Zhen's evil department come from?"

"My son, there are two directions, one is the mountain road in the northeast and the north of Zhuo County."

"How about Wang Zhen'e's casualties?"

"General Wang didn't suffer much, but he said that according to the current strength of the Wei army, it would be very difficult for him to break through to Zhuo County and rescue General Shen Qingzhi."

Knowing that Wang Zhen'e only hurt the skin, Liu Yizhen no longer worried, but concentrated on dealing with Tuoba Tao who was rushing towards him aggressively.

"After playing so many tricks, I finally couldn't help showing my fangs!"
