Chapter 855 Is It an Empty Camp?
In Hedong County, in front of Baibo Valley, Liu Bao led his army to stop again.
With the determination to win, the Xiongnu army, which pursued the Yizhou army, had to stop.
After crossing Pingyang County for a hundred miles, they came to one of the few dangerous areas in Hedong County.
White Wave Valley.
It used to be the shelter of 100,000 Yellow Turbans.
At the beginning, the imperial court couldn't help the Yellow Turban bandits in Hedong County. The main reason was that Baibo Valley was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The interior of Hedong County is blocked by various mountains, and the only road that can pass is by the Fenshui River.
But this main road is blocked by Baibo Valley.
It is said to be isolated, but it is not completely isolated, but the north-south passage cannot bypass the Baibo Valley.
If you want to connect the north and the south, you must enter the Baibo Valley and detour.
But at this moment, at the entrance of Baibo Valley, a camp has been erected.
"hateful…"
Liu Bao cursed angrily, he never expected to charge forward and was forcibly pressed down again.
Not long after, Hu Chuquan led the follow-up team to the front.
"King Zuo Xian, why did you stop?"
Liu Bao stared fiercely in front of him, then pointed out.
"The damn Yizhou army has set up camp in the dangerous pass again!"
Hu Chuquan quickly looked forward, and immediately showed a pessimistic expression after observing.
"It's broken, the Yizhou army is occupying this place, it's hard for us to rush over."
Hu Chuquan dare not speak of other places, but he is too familiar with Baibo Valley.
Hu Chuquan had also cooperated with the Yellow Turban Army back then, so he knew the situation of Baibo Valley clearly.
"King Zuo Xian, there is no way to get around the Baibo Valley, unless you swim through the Fen River!"
Liu Bao's face was very ugly, of course he knew the current situation.
The Huns are good at riding horses and running raids, but they are not used to water at all.
Even after moving to the Hetao area for hundreds of years, not many of the Xiongnu learned how to swim, let alone gallop in the water.
When Liu Bao saw Hu Chuquan's expression, he knew that cowardice was born in his heart again.
In order to prevent Hu Chuquan from thinking of withdrawing the army again, Liu Bao hurriedly spoke out to comfort him.
"Shan Yu, although this camp is blocking our way, it is more confirmed that the Yizhou Army is not strong enough and dare not contend with us!"
Hu Chuquan nodded, and did not deny Liu Bao's remarks, but there was indeed a problem waiting for them.
"King Zuo Xian, I understand what you mean, but how to break through this camp?"
Liu Bao was at a loss for words, and cursed the Yizhou army for being despicable.
They wanted to die, but they set up the camp in the narrowest part of Baibo Valley.
Even if there are only a thousand people in the battalion, it is difficult for the Xiongnu army to break through in a short time.
It doesn't take much time, just four or five days, and the people in Hedong can cross the Yellow River.
With the Yellow River as a barrier, the Xiongnu army will be even more helpless.
At this time when the advance and retreat were at a loss, Qubei, the Youxian King who commanded the rear army of the Huns, also came to the front.
The Chinese army did not see any movement for a long time, and Qu Bei was worried, so he could only go forward to check.
"Why did you stop?"
Liu Bao raised his chin and pointed forward again.
"The Yizhou army is extremely cunning. They occupied the dangerous pass in advance and blocked our pursuit."
Qubei quickly looked around, and it was exactly as Liu Bao said.
"what?"
Suddenly, Qu Bei's surprise caught the attention of Hu Chuquan and Liu Bao.
"What's wrong?"
"Wouldn't this be an empty camp again?"
Qu Bei suddenly discovered that although the camp was well-arranged, there was not a single guard.
In Pingyang City before, the Yizhou Army arranged some straw men at any rate.
This time is good, the grass man is too lazy to arrange, it is completely empty!
"Impossible? This camp only needs one or two thousand people to make us helpless."
Liu Bao shook his head, and did not believe Qu Bei's words.
In fact, he had already discovered the problem that no soldiers were found in the base camp.
If the burning of Pingyang City had not happened, Liu Bao might feel that the Yizhou Army was playing tricks.
After being tricked this time, Liu Bao never believed that the Yizhou Army would be defenseless in such a dangerous place.
"Shan Yu, Youxian King, the Yizhou army is extremely treacherous, and must have set up strong bows and crossbows in the camp!"
"This is a turning point, and the vision is not clear. I guess as long as our soldiers get close to the camp, they will definitely be hit hard!"
The Yizhou army is too treacherous, and the location of the camp is also extremely tricky.
If it wasn't for a frontal attack, you wouldn't even be able to see how far the camp was and how many troops were deployed in the camp.
With such wise men as opponents in the Yizhou army, how dare Liu Bao naively think that there is no defense in the camp?
Liu Bao thinks so, Qubei doesn't think so.
Instead, he felt that Liu Bao was scared.
After finally seeing Liu Bao showing fear, Qubei would not let go of such a good opportunity to sarcasm directly.
"King Zuoxian, are you afraid of being burned by the Yizhou army?"
The last time I escaped from Pingyang City, if it weren't for the loss of morale of the Xiongnu army, I would have had to run against Liu Bao when I went to Bei.
Usually, Hu Chuquan always scolds that he is inferior to Liu Bao, but today he can be regarded as having caught the handle to relieve his anger!
Liu Bao glanced at Qu Bei, not in the mood to fight him at all.
Finding a way to pass through the Baibo Valley safely is the most important thing right now.
Leading the army to defeat the Yizhou Army will naturally silence all those who oppose Liu Bao.
"Just wait and see what happens in the camp."
"I don't believe it, the Yizhou army can't bear to come out to check!"
The Huns had poor vision, and the Yizhou Army also had vision problems.
Liu Bao did not believe that the commander-in-chief of the Yizhou Army had such a big heart that he could completely ignore the 90,000 Huns outside the camp.
"again…"
Just as Qu Bei wanted to refute, he was greeted with Hu Chuquan's stern eyes, which made him close his mouth in fright.
Waiting is tormenting, especially staring at one direction intently.
For more than three hours, Liu Bao never relaxed his vigilance, and his eyes began to become dry after staring at him for a long time.
It's a pity that Liu Bao didn't get any answers he wanted, and there was no flaw in the camp ahead.
It can even be said that there was no movement from the entire camp.
Could it be that Qu Bei guessed right?
Is it really an empty camp ahead?
Apart from this possibility, Liu Bao really couldn't guess what could make a military camp so quiet!
Hu Chuquan also gradually became terrified from being suspicious at the beginning.
How similar are the plots?
Isn't this exactly the same as the situation when the soldiers came to Pingyang City before?
It's just that last time it was a city, this time it was a camp.
Last time there was a straw man in disguise, this time even the disguise was omitted!
Just when Hu Chuquan and Liu Bao were tense, Qu Bei's voice suddenly came from their ears.
"King Zuo Xian, are you going to let the army sleep here in the wilderness?"
