Chapter 188: Misjudgment

In late October, there was still a calm between Youzhou and the grassland. Qifu and Tufa two groups reached the Luotuoyuan, a hundred miles away from Shangmaojingba, and there was no other move outside the camp. It seemed that after Murong Fu lost Maojingba, he really had no plans to attack the border this year. He entered the Luotuoyuan just to prevent the Youzhou cavalry from breaking deeper into the hinterland of the grassland.

But Liu He felt a little uneasy. If Murong Fu had the kind of willingness to admit defeat, he would not have achieved what he had today. A generation of heroes would always take action in places that others would not expect, and it would definitely be a fatal blow if he took action. Liu He believed that Murong Fu must have some trick under the calm surface of his face. As for how much this trick had fermented, it was unknown.

At this time of previous years, the smell of war could almost be smelled. The two sides had been at odds, but this year it was strangely calm. The people of Youzhou were naturally happy, thinking that after Liu Duliao's army seized Maojingba, they had successfully shocked the grassland barbarians and could pass by peacefully this year, but the senior officials of Youzhou would not think so.

The uneasy Liu He arrived at Maojingba and accompanied by Guan Yu to inspect the entire Maojingba city defense. The main city of Maojingba has been built and the surface project of the Weibao has been completed. Outside, the walled houses are connected by fences and earthworks. The villagers have begun to burn the wasteland and turn the ground. They are preparing to plant wheat here. In the coming year, this place will become a fertile field with rolling wheat waves, providing Maojingba with endless food.

Standing at the head of Maojingba, Liu He said, "Chang Yun, has he been so calm for the past few months?"

"Yes, when I first built the city, I was really worried that I would be wary of the sudden attack of the Iron Cavalry of Man Di day and night. However, as the city defense system became more and more mature, I gradually felt relieved. It seems that Mao Jingba's loss had a huge blow to Murong Fu, and he did not stop this year."

After hearing Guan Yu's words, Liu He felt a little relieved.

"Have the sentry detectives to Tuoyuan City continued?"

"The sentry detectives of both sides have been strangling each other in this more than 100-mile garden. They exist in small-scale confrontations. They are extremely careful about Tuoyuan City, Qifu and Tufa. Our sentry detectives cannot get close at all. Once they get close, they will be killed by the other side. In the past few months, I have lost hundreds of people."

Liu He's face changed slightly, "In other words, you haven't figured out what his two pieces are doing in Camel Yuan?"

"I don't know, but I respond to changes with the same change. No matter what the two departments want to do, I just need to keep them on the Camel Yuan." Guan Yu said, "If they want to attack Youzhou, then Mao Jingba must be taken down. We will hold this place and strangle the other party's throat, not afraid of them playing tricks."

"What if the two of them did nothing in Camel Yuan?"

"Ah?" Guan Yu didn't react and looked at Liu He, feeling a little stunned.

"I mean Qifu, two Tufa, two elite troops with a population of tens of thousands and 50,000 or 60,000 elite troops were stationed in Luotuoyuan and built a huge camp, but one did not store grain and the other did not store siege equipment. Where are you stationed in this way without any purpose?"

Guan Yu said in surprise: "This is impossible. In my opinion, Murong Fu wanted to operate the Camel Yuan into the second Maojingba, but the Camel Yuan was not enough to take on this important task in terms of geographical location or other aspects, so it can only be a temporary temporary base. The other party will definitely store grain and build siege equipment for the attack."

Liu He beat the city wall with force, "No, Yun Chang, sent a battalion of troops to raid Luotuoyuan and caught him off guard. I don't ask them to occupy it, nor do they do much harm to the enemy. I just want to know what the other party is doing in Luotuoyuan? Murong Fu will never do this useless work. If Qifu and Tufa have always had the intention to attack you, and even take action, I feel relieved, but the current situation is really strange."

Guan Yu hesitated for a moment and immediately replied: "Yes, I will immediately send a cavalry to fight to the vicinity of the Camel Yuan and explore the truth."

He turned around and said to the personal soldiers beside him: "So quickly pass Zhang Xianfeng."

At sunset, Zhang Fei led three thousand Youzhou cavalry to Maojingba and rushed to Luotuoyuan like a wind and lightning. In the official hall of Guan Yu in Maojingba, Liu He and Guan Yu sat opposite each other, silently waiting for Zhang Fei's return.

At midnight, the sound of horse hooves sounded outside the city, and cheers came from the top of the city. The two looked at each other and Zhang Fei came back. After a moment, Zhang Fei broke in with blood, saluted the two, and said, "Lord, Yun Chang, I'm back!"

"How is it?" Guan Yu asked anxiously.

"It's okay. I rushed into the camp of the Tufa tribe, made a circle and then killed them again. I killed more than a hundred people on the other side, and I also lost almost all the personnel. These mantras were falling behind me until I saw the cavalry that was supporting us."

"I'm not asking you this, but asking what you saw in the bald bald village?"

Zhang Fei thought for a moment, "Lord, it's really strange. The bald tribe does not have the siege equipment you mentioned. And in terms of the intensity of their counterattack, they are not as many people as the ones who were the first to be the first to be sent off? In my opinion, the bald tribe's camp, including the old and weak, should not exceed 20,000 people, and at most, they will form a cavalry of 5,000 to 10,000."

"If you attack the Tufa Village camp, how will Qifu Village react?"

"The camp of Qifu tribe is about ten miles away from the Hong tribe, and the two are arranged in a zigzag shape. When I rushed out, I was afraid that they would go out to intercept me, but to my surprise, although the other party was on guard, he did not participate in the pursuit of me."

With a "bang", Guan Yu punched the desk, shocking the things on the desk to jump up, "I'm fooled!" he said fiercely.

The main players of Qifu and Tufa are probably already retreating.

"Thank you for your hard work in Yide, you can go and have a rest first!" Liu He said to Zhang Fei calmly.

Seeing Zhang Fei turn to leave the hall, Liu He turned around and looked at the map hanging on the wall, "Murong Fu, what are you paying attention?"

He suddenly turned around and said to Guan Yu: "No matter what he pays attention, it seems that these two people are planning to give them to me. Chang Yun! The whole army drove away and pulled these two nails for me."

"It's the lord!" Guan Yu said loudly, feeling ashamed and annoyed. He had been deceived by these mankinds for so long. It seems that after the two groups of people formed a large formation to enter the Tuoyuan, they quietly withdrew the main force in a small part, leaving an empty shell to confuse him. No wonder the scouts of both sides spared no effort to kill his scouts. It turned out that they were afraid that they would have discovered the secret. If the lord had not discovered the clue, they would not know when they would have been hidden.

Seeing Guan Yu leave angrily, Liu He paced around the hall, "Why? Why did Murong Fu do this? It is easy to understand to use himself to consume part of the strength of the Xianbei in the West, but is it limited to this?

The finger pressed on the map and moved inch by inch on the border line. Suddenly, the finger stopped, and the place where the fingertips pressed, a place name appeared in his eyes.

"Cheng Castle!" Liu He shouted.

Murong He! If Murong He's Wolf Xiao army returned from outside the Pamir Pass, the journey back to the royal court was only hundreds of miles away from Chicheng. If he hadn't turned back to the royal court at all, but rushed directly to Chicheng? Liu He was shocked, no wonder Dou Qing's Yinyuan had never seen the appearance of the Wolf Xiao army in Murong Wangting! It was estimated that they should have returned at this time.

"Deran!" he shouted.

"Master, what's the matter?"

"Eight hundred miles are urgent, and the transmission is quickly returned to Guangning, and Xu Rong and Huang Zhong's troops are ordered to rush to help Chi Castle."

"Ah!" Liu Xiu was shocked. Something happened to Red Castle?

"Go quickly!" Liu He said loudly.

"Has the army Sima left?" Liu He went out of the hall to recruit a personal guard. The personal guard pointed at several fire dragons outside the city and said, "Lord, the guard has set out, Zhang Xianfeng stayed in Maojingba."

"Call Zhang Yide here!"

Liu He was upset. Murong He would definitely attack Chi Castle. Murong Fu did not take action, and he was very powerful as soon as he took action. He never expected that he would directly attack Chi Castle regardless of Murong He's troops' long journey. But the problem was that he had very few troops in Chi Castle and could not stop Murong He, even if the other party was still trapped.

I miscalculated, but I still underestimated Murong Fu!
