Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 522 Retreat and Pursuit

Ji County.

"The Song army has arrived in Liaodong?"

Ever since Song Jun's sea ship went north, Tuoba Tao began to feel extremely bad, even worse than Tuoba Jian's defeat and death before.

The rich savings of Youbeiping, Liaoxi, and Liaodongzhong are the capital that Tuoba Tao is confident and Liu Yizhen will consume.

If it continues to be destroyed by the Song Army, then Tuoba Tao himself will shake his determination to fight the Song Army.

Just when Tuoba Tao wanted to send Xi Jin to Liaodong, a scout ran into his camp panting.

"Your Majesty! It's not good! Pingcheng!"

The person who came was a soldier of the Wei army in Pingcheng.

Roughly two days ago, Song Army cavalry appeared in the north of Pingcheng.

The guards in Pingcheng obviously didn't expect Shen Tianzi to be able to touch the rear, and immediately frightened out of his wits, he immediately sent a letter for help to Changsun Song and Wang Huilong on the front line.At the same time, a message was sent to Tuoba Tao who was fighting in Hebei.

After Tuoba Tao heard the appearance of enemy troops near Pingcheng, his eyes were covered with anger and blood, which made him a little staggering.

"How could Song Jun appear in Pingcheng? How could Song Jun appear in Pingcheng?"

Tuoba Tao cursed angrily.

As for whether this anger is really angry or just to cover up the fear in his heart, only Tuoba Tao himself knows.

The other generals of the Northern Wei Dynasty obviously did not dare to touch Tuoba Tao's bad luck at this time.

Only the veteran Xi Jin stood up and pleaded with Tuoba Tao with a serious face: "Your Majesty should rush back to Pingcheng as soon as possible, and the general can stay behind!"

Keep it up!

In the land of Youyan, there is no Liao land to the east, so it is guaranteed!
Now that the Song Army is under attack, Northern Wei Tao must ensure that the Song Army's siege is relieved.

Yes, the entire Xianbei clan will be completely driven to the grasslands and return to the nomadic era of ruthlessness and blood drinking.

As a Xianbei nobleman, Xi Jin could naturally sit back and watch Xianbei fall into such a situation, so he took the initiative to ask Xin Yuantao to deal with Xin Yuanli's main force alone.

In Xi Jin's slightly sad pleading, Xin Yuantao also realized his gaffe.

Others can panic, but I can panic!

Because I am the emperor of Xinyuan, the king of Xianbei!

Mount Tai collapsed behind and changed his face. That is the reason my father, Northern Wei Si, gave me!

Beiwei Tao sat down again, his face was full of anxiety just now: "What are you panicking about?"

"There is no prime minister in the Song army, and General Changsun Song is not far from Xinyuan. He can arrive in eight days."

"What? Don't you think that with the prime minister's ability, there is a way to stop Tuoba for eight days?"

Even though Xiaojia knew that Xin Yuantao's words were at least half comforting, the anxiety in the air did weaken a bit.

"The most important thing for you is to defeat the main force of Tuoba in front of you, occupy Hebei, and move the capital to Yecheng. Naturally, you are worried that you will be threatened by Tuoba at any time!"

"As for the Song Army... there is no good news eight days ago! Xin Yuan dares to leave behind and go to the Song Army alone, so he must prepare for the destruction of the entire army!"

The confident words of Northern Wei Tao reunited the previously disintegrated Pingcheng army, even worse!

Yes!

As long as you win that battle and gain enough strategic depth, you will be fighting with the same fear and fear as you are now.

As long as... win that battle.

Seventh day.

Just when Northern Wei Tao felt fortunate that the situation in his generals had stabilized, no scout brought me a piece of news that was different from a bolt from the blue——

"Xin Yuan has withdrawn his troops!"

Where's Tuoba?

As soon as the Northern Wei Dynasty was over, there was still no reaction, thinking it was Xinyuan or Tuoba from Liaodong,

But when I heard that it was Tuoba who was followed by Liu Yizhen, I immediately got off my horse and rushed towards the city.

"Why is this so, Your Majesty?"

When Xi Jin and other generals saw Xin Yuantao like this, they all thought that something trivial had happened, and they also ran westward in front of Northern Wei Tao.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

"It can be in the future! After that is Tuoba Xiaoying!"

But the Northern Wei Tao in the rear was Guan Shigu, and he chased straight towards Zhuo County by himself.

It wasn't until he could see Xinyuan Xiaoying that Northern Wei Tao tightened his horse's head in a daze, and stared blankly at the rear.

Xi Jin and the others in front chased after them with great difficulty, and when they had time to ask Xin Yuantao, they were stunned by the scene behind them.

The Tuoba camp that was supposed to confront us outside... is empty!
"Where did Tuoba go?"

Everyone knows that Tuoba's frontline support is excellent, and it is pure nonsense to say that troops are withdrawn because of insufficient food.

It can make Tuoba passively withdraw his troops, unless Liu Yizhen collapses in the small camp like Liu Yu.

But given Liu Yizhen's age and physical condition, it was obviously not easy.

But if Tuoba withdraws his troops passively, then he can only withdraw his troops actively.

The issue is……

Why did Tuoba voluntarily withdraw his troops?
Now it is clear that Song has the advantage and Wei has the disadvantage, so there is no reason for Tuoba to take the initiative to attack!

Unless there is nothing that can make Liu Yizhen crazy enough to act in Gu Hebei's interest.

Reminiscent of the information about the Song Army yesterday, Northern Wei Tao and others had a small guess——

"I'm going to Song Jun!"

"Liu Yi is really going to the Song army!"

Yes, there is a way to explain that Liu Yizhen quietly withdrew his troops in spite of the small good situation in Hebei!
"Send spies to find out whether Liu Yizhen is retreating west or south!"

If they were to withdraw to the west, there was no doubt that they would go to Xinyuan.

Northern Wei Tao is sweating profusely at this moment, obviously the crisis situation of the Song Army has driven me to a dead end.

Once the Song army fell, Xin Yuan would completely become a wandering soul wandering in the north. Even if he could continue to act fiercely, he would lose his foundation, and could only enter the arena sadly at the end.

Such an ending makes Northern Wei Tao, who was still fantasizing about being able to occupy Hebei, suspicious yesterday, it is acceptable!
In the light of Northern Wei Tao's low-pressure persecution, Pingcheng's scouts were very slow to inquire about Tuoba's movements.

"Some of Tuoba's soldiers rushed to Hejian Kingdom, and some of them rushed to Yecheng."

"And Xinyuanli's banner is all the way to the west, and the speed is extremely slow!"

Really west!
Northern Wei Tao was a little dizzy.

In this way, it was almost confirmed that Liu Yizhen was going to rush to the Song Army.

At the same time, it basically confirms the news that Xin Yuan has fallen...

"No chance yet!"

Northern Wei Tao gritted his teeth: "There is no chance yet!"

"As long as Liu Yizhen can be defeated, your army can still turn defeat into victory!"

I suddenly stood up and opened my majestic chest: "Isn't Liu Yizhen really a lot of people?"

"As little as [-]."

Twenty thousand!

That number seems to have given Northern Wei Tao full confidence.

"How far am I from there?"

"The difference is at least seven hundred miles away."

More than seven hundred...

For the cavalry under Tao's command in the Northern Wei Dynasty, that distance was not a distant but an accessible distance.

If you pursue it with all your strength, it seems that you can catch it within a few days!
"Xi Jin!"

"The minister is here."

"Call together the cavalry from our headquarters, head west all the way, and take Liu Yizhen straight!"

"This battle, if you succeed, you will be benevolent!"
