Chapter 840
The matter of tackling key problems could only end without a problem, Yu Chigong left with his soldiers and horses, and stationed in a dock behind Baitan.

What Liu Bei wanted was to delay Liu Bian's troops and create chaos, so it would be a long battle from the beginning. Anyway, with Liu Bei supporting the food and equipment, Yu Chigong would naturally not be impatient.At the same time, we must calm down and use our troops carefully, so as not to be caught by the Han army and defeat them.

Bai Tan closed the door, seeing Yu Chigong leaving with his troops, Zhang Shigui couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

Right now there are [-] people in the pass, although Liu Bian has given [-] elites, but the main force is infantry, and it will take at least a day to rush over.And there were five thousand soldiers under Yuchi Gong's command. Although Baitan Pass was steep, if Yu Chi Gong tried his best to attack, the Han army would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

"How about General Zhang, I was so brave before?" Cheng Yaojin asked Zhang Shigui seeing Yu Chigong retreating.

"Heroic, General Cheng's Tiangang 36 axes are really an eye-opener for me. Tomorrow, I will watch General Cheng use the remaining 33 axes to teach that thief general a lesson!" Zhang Shigui laughed and left the gate.

"Don't!" Cheng Yaojin felt that something was wrong when he heard it, he would use three swords back and forth, and Yu Chigong would challenge again tomorrow, what would he use to fight?
Cheng Yaojin quickly followed and went to discuss with Zhang Shigui.

Zhang Shigui came to the barracks in Guannei and sat down. Cheng bit Jin on his heels and shouted: "General Zhang, you don't know me as old Cheng. I like to brag. You can't send me out to fight tomorrow, that black man." The goods are so powerful, and the martial arts are far above me, I will be good after chopping three axes, so I will let him kill me."

"Hehe, there are so many soldiers locked up earlier, some things are difficult to say, I have to follow you, so as not to vent the morale of the army? That bandit general is very skilled in martial arts, I will naturally not let you take risks tomorrow." Zhang Shigui said with a smile.

Cheng Yaojin came to the lower head and sat down, drank a few sips of water, then wiped the water drops from his beard, and said: "I thought that the thief's martial arts skills were mediocre, but I didn't expect it to be so good. Today I fooled around and came back tomorrow. I can't fight , the morale of the army is still lost."

"In this way, we can only hang up the card of exemption from battle, but His Majesty just asked me to guard the north. The main force will arrive tomorrow, and our army will guard Baitan Pass, and they will not be able to attack." Zhang Shigui said after a while.

"Then the soldiers will look down on me, old Cheng!" Cheng Yaojin said with a curl of his lips.

"Then I will trouble the general to use the remaining 33 axes tomorrow, so that the thief general and our soldiers can see how powerful General Cheng is."

Cheng Yaojin waved his hands again and again: "Don't tell me, compared with your life, what is this shamelessness!"

Zhang Shigui shook his head and said with a smile: "What I doubt the most now is the identity of this group of thieves. Such elite cavalry should not be sent by Liu Bei. It is obviously better to send infantry than cavalry to fight in the mountains. But if it is the Mongols Well, it's obviously not reasonable!"

"I took a closer look at this group of cavalry before. They are all foreign cavalry, and many of them are still wounded. They are all fresh wounds. They seem to be elites who have just escaped from the battle." Cheng Yaojin said earlier. Xiaguan, also said what he observed.

"Oh? I was closing it before, but I couldn't notice these things because it was too far away."

With new clues, Zhang Shigui has a target: "The cavalry who just left the battle, and they are such elite cavalry. I seem to know the origin of this group of cavalry."

"Oh? Then who is this group of cavalry?" Cheng Yaojin asked hastily.

Zhang Shigui explained to Cheng Yaojin: "General Cheng, you didn't know about it not long after you came from Luoyang. In the northern part of Mongolia, there is a remnant Xianbei tribe who has been fighting against Mongolia all year round. They are called Xuanjia elite cavalry. Mongolian spies came a few days ago. The newspaper said that this army could not hold on and showed signs of breaking through. However, our army signed a peace treaty with Mongolia. If we contact this cavalry, our relationship with Mongolia may become stagnant.

Governor Xue, Governor Fan and the others considered that there are frequent wars in Youzhou right now, so they don't plan to get involved.In order to avoid friction with the Mongols, which is not conducive to the situation of our army, we did not pay attention to that cavalry.Looking at it now, the cavalry in front of him is very likely to be the Xuanjia elite cavalry who broke out from the battle against Mongolia. "

Cheng Yaojin clapped his palms and said: "Xuanjia Jingqi, the cavalry outside the pass is also wearing Xuanjia, and the fighting power is strong. From this point of view, this cavalry is not Xuanjia Jingqi. What bastards, they are like the Mongols. If you can't fight anymore, you will come to invade the territory of my big man, can you be a bully when I am a big man?"

Zhang Shigui waved his hand and said, "I can't see it. Since they broke out, they just wanted to survive and provoke me. Isn't that just asking for their own death? You didn't hear them say that the thief will say that my soldiers slaughtered his subordinates." , then their leaders will receive a reward, I think they may have some friction with my army."

"I have met General Di Qing. He is very strict in running the army. The soldiers under his command would never do such a dirty thing. Those soldiers before were also bewildered and never did such a thing." Cheng Yaojin said in a tone Not good way.

Zhang Shigui was not angry, and said with a smile: "What did the general say? I naturally believed our soldiers? But what if they were bewitched by Liu Bei? You think, our army did not pay attention because of the signing of the peace treaty with Mongolia. This cavalry, but Liu Bei may have contacted this cavalry in advance."

Cheng Yaojin's eyes lit up and said: "Yes, Liu Bei may go to this cavalry first. Judging from his hatred for my soldiers and horses, maybe Liu Bei took advantage of them. If he comes to challenge again tomorrow, I will tell you The truth, let's see how he reacts!"

Zhang Shigui waved his hand and said: "Alright, let's test it out tomorrow to see if it is the case. I will write a letter and hand it to His Majesty to check if it is the case. If this cavalry is really used by Liu Bei, they will He is an elite teacher, and the master is also very brave, so we can't say that we will subdue him and use him for my big man."

Cheng Yaojin thought of something, and said: "By the way, isn't there Yuwen Chengdu on the grassland outside the pass now? I heard that he is the young master of Xianbei. If this cavalry is also a Xianbei soldier, if Yuwen Chengdu is sent over, it will definitely be able to Subdue it."

Zhang Shigui shook his head and said: "General Cheng, you think too much. There are many Xianbei tribes. On our side of Youzhou, there are two large Xianbei tribes in Liaodong and Liaoxi. There are also Xianbei in the north of Bingzhou. General Yuwen came from the north of Bingzhou The Xianbei tribe that came over, and the Xuanjia Jingqi, belonged to the Liaodong Xianbei. Between the two Xianbei, let alone commanding each other, even after the split, there was a deep hatred. Sending General Yuwen over, wouldn’t it add fuel to the fire?"

"Ah? I didn't expect that there are so many ways here? From this point of view, if you want to subdue this cavalry, you have to see my old Cheng make meritorious deeds." Cheng Yaojin scratched his scalp and laughed.

Zhang Shigui smiled, took out the rice paper from the table, wrote down his conjecture and what happened and wrote it to Liu Bian, asking Liu Bian to verify the origin of this cavalry.Send the cavalry to rush to Pinggu to Liu Bian.

But at sunset, Baitan Pass ushered in another general, Wu Yunzhao.

Knowing that Wu Yunzhao is coming, Zhang Shigui and Cheng Yaojin go out to meet him.

Wu Yunzhao's war horse is a BMW, which is fast, more than twice as fast as ordinary cavalry, so Liu Bian asked him to set off at noon, and arrived before sunset in the afternoon.

"General Wu, why are you here?" Zhang Shigui asked in surprise.

Wu Yunzhao bowed his hands to salute, and replied: "Your Majesty mobilized the files and learned that this cavalry is the Xianbei's elite Xuanjia cavalry who broke out from the battle with Mongolia. The leader general is very skilled in martial arts. Your Majesty is worried, so he sent me to help!"

Before sending Wu Yun to summon him, Liu Bian learned that it was Yu Chigong who attacked Baitan, so he asked Jushou to quickly investigate the information and ask about the origin of this army.It happened that news came from the secret work in the north, letting Liu Bian know the origin of Xuanjia Jingqi.

That's why Wu Yunzhao came to help out and had something to say.

Zhang Shigui was surprised and said: "So that's the case. Alas, I sent a cavalry to ask His Majesty at noon, asking him to verify the origin of this cavalry. Unexpectedly, His Majesty has already found out."

"It's okay, I happened to meet the messenger on the way here, but it's better for His Majesty to report it, so I didn't stop him and let him go." Wu Yunzhao said, and entered the pass with everyone.

"Speaking of which, the thief general's name is Yu Chigong. According to the information, he is very powerful. Have you ever suffered a loss when you fought against him?" When they came to the barracks, everyone sat down, Wu Yunzhao turned to Zhang Shigui, and Cheng Yaojin asked road.
