One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 316 An Unusual Thing Happened
Xu Huang changed into a soldier's armor and rode across the river to Huaxiong's camp.

Two quarters of an hour later, Xu Huang returned and reported to Qin Yi, "Hua Xiong's army is already camping."

"Can you see their reality?" Qin Yi asked.

Xu Huang said: "The time is too short, I can only estimate based on experience. Judging by the size of their camp, it should be able to accommodate [-] soldiers and horses. Because the soldiers are busy camping, it is impossible to tell whether they are elite or not."

"Brother, have you seen Hua Xiong?" Qin Yi asked again.

"seen."

"How did Hua Xiong react after hearing my answer?"

"He laughed three times, said 'Got it' and sent me back."

Qin Yi was a little disappointed that he didn't get any useful news.He ordered the army to continue to wait in place.Until it got dark, there was no movement on the other side.Therefore, Qin Yi left a hundred soldiers to continue monitoring, and the rest returned to the camp to rest.

Nothing happened overnight, and the next morning, Qin Yi led the army to the shore again and set up a battle.However, after waiting all morning, there was still no movement on the other side.

Just when Qin Yi was about to arrange for the leading soldiers to cook on the spot, another soldier came from the other side.This person is still here to deliver a letter to Qin Yi.

This time it was a message, and the Xiliang Army soldier said that Governor Hua told Qin Yi that he would cross the river tomorrow to prepare Qin Yi for battle.

Qin Yi laughed three times and said: "I know!" Then he sent the soldier back to the camp.

Although Hua Xiong said that he would cross the river tomorrow, Qin Yi did not dare to take it lightly, so he asked the soldiers to rest where they were, and the leader to cook on the spot.

After lunch, Qin Yi's army continued to wait for a while, but there was still no movement on the other side.Qin Yi ordered the soldiers to practice on the spot so as not to be bored.At the same time, Qin Yi sent several scouts across the river to the other side to monitor the actions of Hua Xiong's army.

After waiting like this for an entire afternoon, the other side has been quiet.The scouts sent across the river came back several times, and every time they came back, they said that everything in Hua Xiong's barracks was as usual.They also said that Hua Xiong's army found them, but they ignored them at all, allowing them to approach the barracks to observe.

"Brother Qin Xian, it seems that we are overly nervous. Since Hua Xiong said that he will cross the river tomorrow, he must cross the river tomorrow. Why don't we go back to the camp first." Yang Feng yawned and said to Qin Yi.

Qin Yi said: "Don't take it lightly, the more abnormal the enemy's behavior is, the more we have to prevent them from cheating."

"Yes, maybe Hua Xiong will cross the river at night and catch us by surprise." Xu Huang said, "Anyway, the night is not so cold anymore. Why don't we sleep here tonight."

Yang Feng nodded: "That's fine, just be careful and you won't make a big mistake!"

So, that night, Qin Yi's soldiers and horses did not return to the camp, but camped on the bank of the river.

It was another night without incident.After daybreak, Qin Yi's army had breakfast, and immediately formed a formation, waiting for the other side to cross the river.

However, after waiting for more than an hour, Hua Xiong's army did not arrive, only a soldier who delivered a message came.

The Huaxiong soldier told Qin Yi: "My family's governor said that he is not feeling well today, so he won't cross the river for now, and we will talk about it tomorrow."

The soldier left this sentence, and without waiting for Qin Yi's response, he turned his horse and went back.

Qin Yi was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped, Hua Xiong is really a weirdo, if he is not healthy, he won't fight?Is there any reason more nonsense than this?

"My dear brother, why do I feel that Hua Xiong is playing tricks on us!" Yang Feng said, taking off his helmet and scratching his head.

Qin Yi pondered for a while, and said: "He may be deliberately delaying time, waiting for Niu Fu's main force to arrive."

"Well, this is the only reason that can explain it." Yang Feng nodded, and suddenly said: "My dear brother, something is wrong, none of the scouts we sent to monitor Niu Fu's main force came back to report yesterday. of."

Qin Yi was startled: "Yes, someone gave them an order to report back at least once a day, but none of the scouts came back yesterday. Could it be that they were all killed by Niu Fujun?"

Xu Huang said: "This is unlikely. Those scouts are extremely experienced, and they will never gather together to investigate the enemy's situation. Even if someone is discovered and killed by the enemy, there will always be someone who slips through the net."

Qin Yi pondered for a while, and said: "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. How about we report the situation here to Military Master Xi and Li Changshi, and see if they can figure out a way."

"Okay, so I'll make arrangements." Yang Feng nodded.

………………

Although Hua Xiong said that he would not cross the river today, Qin Yi still did not dare to take it lightly.His army is still arrayed on the shore, watching the other side while practicing.

Two hours later, Li Le arrived on horseback.

"Marshal, after discussing with Mr. Xi, I think we should beware of Niu Fu changing the marching route." After exchanging greetings, Li Le said to Qin Yi.

"Changing the marching route?" Qin Yi frowned, "You mean that Niu Fu might change to Tianjing Pass instead, and Hua Xiong came here to contain our army?"

Li Le nodded: "The scouts didn't come back. There are two possibilities. One is that they were all killed by Niu Fujun; the other is that Niu Fu acted abnormally. In order to find out the real purpose of Niu Fujun, the scouts delayed reporting the military situation. time."

Qin Yi nodded: "The possibility that all the scouts will be killed by Niu Fu's army is very small. It seems that it is very likely that Niu Fu behaved abnormally during the march."

"But, the Tianjingguan road is so difficult to walk, so there seems to be no need for Niu Fu to choose that road?" Yang Feng asked doubtfully.

Li Le said: "Perhaps, Niu Fu already knew that the reinforcements stationed at Tianjing Pass were reinforcements sent by Yanzhou. He thought that the reinforcements would not sincerely contribute to help us fight, so he made a fool of himself. After leaving Luoyang, he first came to Xiangling County, and then He suddenly changed his marching route and took the Tianjingguan road instead."

Qin Yi's head is a little dizzy.This completely passive situation made him extremely uncomfortable.

"Then shall we send some troops to Tianjing Pass?" Yang Feng asked again.

Li Ledao: "Both the military division and Xi think that it is not appropriate for us to change the deployment of troops for the time being. Even if Niu Fu really changed the marching route, we must prevent him from deliberately luring us to adjust the deployment of troops. In case he changes the marching route again and goes to Xiangling again If the county comes, then we will have no time to deploy troops."

"It makes sense!" Qin Yi nodded, "Anyway, even if Niu Fu really changed to Tianjing Pass, Cao Ren could stop him for at least five or six days, enough for us to send troops to support. Let's wait until the scouts come back."

Li Le returned to the county seat, and Qin Yi's army continued to monitor the river bank until dark.

Hua Xiong really meant what he said, another day passed, and he did not cross the river.
