Chapter 850

Time passed little by little, and soon the sun gradually disappeared into the sky.

Liu Bao not only divided the entire Xiongnu army into several parts, but also sent countless scouts to scout around to find out all possible potential threats.

From dawn to dusk, the Xiongnu army had no plans to enter the city.

Liu Bao was extremely careful and did not give Yizhou Army any chance at all.

However, with the return of the scouts, the result was somewhat beyond Liu Bao's expectations.

There is no ambush, nothing unusual.

In the vicinity of Pingyang City, there is nothing strange except that the city gate is wide open.

There were even scouts at the back of Pingyang City to investigate, and there was not even a trace of clues.

If the gate of Pingyang was closed, the Xiongnu could completely attack the city.

"King Zuoxian, you have been standing here for a whole day, what should you do?"

Hu Chuquan's heart began to become irritable, and at the same time, a wave of regret rose again.

A small city of Pingyang, with its gates still open, frightened hundreds of thousands of Huns to dare to take any action!

If this encounters the Yizhou army head-on, I don't know what troubles will happen!

A trace of cold sweat gradually broke out on Liu Bao's forehead, even though he was still breathing because of the cold when he was panting.

"Shan Yu, I have been observing the guards."

"It's strange that they haven't moved at all!"

Hearing the words, Hu Chuquan raised his head again, and fixed his eyes on the direction of the head of Pingyang City.

The distance is too far to see the details clearly.

Looking at it from this position, even if the defenders made some small movements, they would not be able to see them at all.

What's more, it is a normal reaction for soldiers to stand up for battle because of tension when they are facing a big enemy.

"King Zuoxian, the Yizhou army is all elite, what others can't do, doesn't mean the Yizhou army can't do it..."

Hu Chuquan didn't argue with Liu Bao about the soldiers of the Yizhou Army. In his opinion, these are completely meaningless.

"King Zuoxian, the Yizhou army is not easy to deal with, and Liu Zhang is even more difficult to deal with, not as good as us..."

Liu Bao was anxious, but he didn't expect Hu Chuquan to retreat at this time.

Sure enough, he was scared of being beaten by the Han people!

"Shan Yu, how can a hundred thousand elites cross mountains and ridges to fight to Pingyang, and return without success?"

"Well, how about we send some soldiers into the city to have a look?"

Hu Chuquan quickly waved his hand and immediately rejected Liu Bao's proposal.

"King Zuoxian, what's the difference between sending someone in and sending someone to die?"

"No way!"

Standing on the top of the city, there must be an ambush inside the city!

Although Hu Chuquan is not familiar with the art of war, he also knows that the city of Pingyang is not simple!

"Chan Yu, I will let my soldiers go!"

As Liu Bao waved his hand, about fifty people rushed straight to the city.

By the time Hu Chuquan wanted to stop it, it was too late.

Although the Xiongnu did not have such a clear camp as Xianbei, King Zuoxian and King Youxian both had their own direct troops.

These people are directly under the orders of the left and right sage kings, and even Shan Yu cannot directly dispatch them.

"King Zuoxian, you..."

Hu Chuquan was displeased, and cast a reproachful glance at Liu Bao.

It's not to blame Liu Bao for making his own way, but to blame him for killing the soldiers in vain.

Liu Bao ignored Hu Chuquan and kept his eyes on the direction of Pingyang City.

He wants to see if there is any reaction from the cavalry!

The result was once again beyond Liu Bao's expectations. The soldiers guarding the city were really motionless, just staring at the Huns' army.

Could it be that the ambush in the city is enough to strangle fifty people?

Liu Bao muttered in his heart, and then sighed secretly.

These fifty people are probably sent...

But after the soldiers entered the city, the screams did not come for a long time.

There was no movement in the whole city.

The sound of war drums, shouts, battles... none of them sounded.

Just as Liu Bao was thinking wildly, the cavalry who had rushed into the city before rushed back on horseback.

"King Zuo Xian!"

"what's the situation?"

Liu Bao was extremely anxious, and hurriedly asked loudly.

"King Zuo Xian, empty...empty city!"

"There is no one inside, and the soldiers on the city are all dummies!"

Liu Bao was horrified at first, and then suddenly realized.

No wonder these soldiers were motionless, they were all in disguise!

Hu Chuquan also had a hint of confusion in his eyes when he heard the words.

"Dummy? What about the Yizhou Army? What do they do with the fake man?"

The corners of Liu Bao's mouth rose slightly, revealing a sneer.

"Chan Yu, I know!"

"King Zuo Xian, what do you know?"

"The Yizhou army must not dare to fight us, so they just want to hold us back and buy time for the people to evacuate!"

The complacency on Liu Bao's face became more and more intense, as if he had seen through everything.

"Chan Yu, it seems that Cao Cao is right! After taking Guanzhong, Liu Zhang is at the end of his strength and has no strength to contend with us!"

"From this point of view, there are not many Yizhou troops in Hedong at all! Too few to have the courage to face the enemy head-on with us!"

Hu Chuquan's eyes lit up, and he became interested immediately.

"King Zuoxian, let's chase after him!"

If the Yizhou army can be defeated, it will greatly boost the morale of the Xiongnu army.

Wouldn't it be a great achievement if we took advantage of the exhaustion of the Yizhou army and led the army into Guanzhong?

For Hu Chuquan, occupying Hongnong County and Hedong County is meaningless.

As long as Liu Zhang is by his side, he will always be severely threatened.

But occupying Zuo Fengyi, You Fufeng and Jing Zhaoyin are different!

Only by occupying Guanzhong can we have strategic depth.

"No!"

Just as Hu Chuquan was gearing up for a big fight, Liu Bao sternly rejected the proposal of pursuit.

"Why? If we catch up one step too late, the Yizhou army will flee far away!"

Although Hedong County can let the cavalry rush, the situation along the way makes Hu Chuquan miserable, and he can't exert all his strength at all.

Therefore, in Hedong County, one cannot think that one's own cavalry will necessarily have a speed advantage.

"Shan Yu, the art of war is cloudy, false and true!"

"The Yizhou army left an empty city, making us think they were powerless to resist, in order to lure us to pursue it."

"If we march by night, we will be ambushed by the Yizhou army!"

Now Hu Chuquan was completely confused.

Liu Bao said that the Yizhou army was too small to resist, and then said that the Yizhou army showed weakness and lured them into pursuit.

These military tactics of the Han people really gave Hu Chuquan a headache.

"King Zuoxian, I won't ask anymore! Just tell me, what should I do now?"

Hu Chuquan already has a clear understanding of his own IQ, so instead of digging into a dead end, it's better to let someone who understands tell him what to do!

Liu Bao narrowed his eyes slightly and rubbed his chin lightly.

After a long time, I finally made up my mind.

"Chan Yu, let's go to the city to rest, let the sons and daughters have a good meal and sleep soundly!"

"Anyway, we are familiar with the terrain on the east side of the river, and we will go after it with all our strength when it dawns tomorrow!"

"The Yizhou Army ambushed overnight, and they will be exhausted! Then we will win in one battle!"

Hu Chuquan nodded again and again, his eyes full of surprise.

"As expected of King Zuo Xian, this plan is very clever!"
