"Since Sun Chengzong, the old man who is immortal, don't blame me for being unrighteous. After leaving the pass, find an empty place to stop. When the time is right, run directly to the northeast. As for attacking Xuanzhen, let Sun Chengzong go by himself." Wu Xiang looked at his son Wu Sangui and spoke.

To be honest, Sun Chengzong's arrangement just conforms to Wu Xiang's idea.

Wu Xiang had no intention of attacking Xuanzhen with Sun Chengzong, and now he was the most suitable one to let him go outside the pass.

Wu Xiang was angry now that Sun Chengzong didn't take him seriously at all, and actually asked him to go outside the gates, and even showed his might to attract Zhao Wen's attention.

...

Xuan Town is just west of the capital, and the distance between the two is not much.

Sun Chengzong led the troops he brought back from Shanhaiguan, as well as some of the Beijing camp and the new army troops walking on the official road.

Because Sun Chengzong was heading south, he was still far from Xuanzhen at this time.

Although Sun Chengzong is old, his physical fitness is quite good.

He was wearing armor and riding on a war horse, looking at the road ahead with a firm face.

His general Cao Wenzhao led two thousand Yebusuo to cruising in front of Sun Chengzong, investigating the enemy situation.

The direction of Sun Chengzong's advance was Zhuolu Mountain located southeast of Xuanzhen. Zhuolu Mountain was the only way to get to Xuanzhen from the south.

After leaving Zhuolu Mountain, go north all the way. If you rush to the horse, you can reach the foot of Xuanzhen Town in one day.

Wu Jisheng led the army to move constantly towards Chang'an Station. When Wu Jisheng moved to Chang'an Station, he followed Sun Chengzong's orders and made great efforts, and his momentum was shocking.

To a certain extent, Wu Jisheng's army was a chess piece that attracted Zhao Wen's attention.

According to Sun Chengzong's plan, the place where Wu Jisheng attacked was Chang'an Station east of Xuan Town.

Because the distance is not very far, Wu Jisheng is not much away from Chang'an Station two days later.

After passing Yanqing Prefecture, it became closer and closer to Chang'an Prefecture. At this time, Yanqing Prefecture was still in the hands of the court.

After leaving Yanqing Prefecture, Wu Jisheng still walked on the official road with great fanfare.

Not long after they left Yanqing Prefecture, they were discovered by Yebuyan sent by Chang'an.

Because of the existence of telescopes, these nights in Chang'an Institute can find them at a long distance.

Ye Busuo sent by Chang'an not only discovered Wu Jisheng's movement, but also found the number of Wu Jisheng's troops.

Visually measuring the number of enemy troops based on various conditions is Xuanzhen’s basic ability to not collect at night, and it must be mastered every night.

After the Chang'an Institute's nightbow-received conveyed this order back, the troops in the Chang'an Institute did not take any further action, and they did not send troops to attack Wu Jisheng.

Because Wu Jisheng and his team were still far away from Chang'an Station at this time, Wu Jisheng would sooner or later arrive at the city of Chang'an Station, so there was no need to send troops to attack early.

In the Chang'an office, a young general stood in the center of the office, looking at a map of Xuanzhen placed on the table in front of him, and frowned tightly.

This young general was Zhang Dong, the commander of the Third Regiment of the Royal Guards. Zhao Wen handed him over to Zhang Dong during this front-line war, and Zhang Dong was fully responsible.

Although Zhang Dong was not old, he had been with Zhao Wen for a long time and had fought many battles with Zhao Wen.

Zhang Dong looked at the map on the table and murmured: "According to the information found by Ye Busuosuo, there were about 20,000 soldiers coming.

Although there are not many soldiers in the court now, it is impossible for only 20,000 soldiers to be soldiered. When Hong Chengchou attacked our Xuanzhen, he led so many soldiers and horses to be defeated by us. This time the court could not have sent only 20,000 people here.

The imperial court may not have many soldiers and horses this time, but it is impossible to have only such a few soldiers and horses."

"I think so. Although the court does not have many soldiers, they cannot send only such soldiers. For the current court, breaking down my Xuan Town has become their life-saving straw. In this kind of thing, they cannot make such a naive mistake.

I heard that the person who led the troops was Sun Chengzong, and Sun Chengzong was not comparable to Hong Chengchou. Although this person had never fought with us, he had fought many battles with Jiannu. This person was definitely not so easy to meet, and he would never make such a childish mistake.

Maybe this army is just a soldier to attract our attention, and Sun Chengzong's large army is not necessarily waiting for an opportunity to move elsewhere."

The reserve defender general in Chang'an Station said.

Nowadays, except for the troops in Sichuan, Huguang and Shandong, Shaanxi, Sichuan, and have not changed their organizational structures, the organization of reserves in various places in Xuanzhen has been changed by Zhao Wen according to the specifications of later generations.

There are now 1,500 people in Chang'an Station, which are the forces of a regiment.

The person who spoke was the leader of the Chang'an defender.

Because he is a reserve officer and Zhang Dong is a guard, he has to obey Zhang Dong's command in the decision-making of matters.

In today's Chang'an Station, there are a regiment of the Guards and a regiment of the Reserves, totaling 3,000 people.

In the hall stood the guards and officers at all levels of the defenders, and they were also confused.

"Yes, Sun Chengzong is a man with a reputation, so it is impossible for him to attack us with just such a few soldiers."

"The court cannot not know how powerful our strength is. If such a few soldiers attack us, it will not be possible to squeeze our teeth."

For a moment, the generals in the hall were talking.

Zhang Dong's brows became tighter and tighter. After a long time, he slapped the table and shouted: "Sun Chengzong might want to use these troops to attract our attention and let us attack these troops. Then Sun Chengzong led the remaining troops to take the opportunity to rush in."

After Zhang Dong said that, the reserve commander also said: "Yes, I think this is the case, otherwise, there is no reason to be just such a person."

"Tell me the order to send me all the night-de-stopped troops in the city to me. At the same time, I notify all the troops in the east, and ask them to increase the intensity of reconnaissance for me and investigate the remaining troops of Sun Chengzong for me. In addition, I also need to investigate outside the pass, notify the Korqin Grassland departments and let their cavalry be dispatched as well.

After Korqin has been having a long life, it is time to go out for activities. By the way, I must notify Your Majesty of this matter in time. Let’s hold our troops for the time being, and wait until this army arrives at the city.”

...

At this time, Sun Chengzong led his troops to Zhuolu Mountain.

Zhuolu Mountain is located in the southeast of Xuan Town, and is still a long way from Xuan Town.

After passing Zhuolu Mountain, if everything is normal, Sun Chengzong will lead his troops directly to the north, bypassing the heavily guarded Bao'anzhou, and reach the hinterland of Xuanzhen.

Zhuolu Mountain is not high but has a large area. It is very easy to hide Sun Chengzong's few people.

If there were no troops to investigate, maybe Sun Chengzong would really be trapped in.

However, when Zhang Dong passed the order to various troops in the east, the generals of these troops sent a large number of night-delay investigations.

Similarly, Zhuolu Mountain did not escape investigation.

A team of about fifty people at night was moving forward in a mountain path in the middle of Zhuolu Mountain.

Because the mountains are high and dense forests, this team did not ride war horses at night, and they all walked.

"Do you think it's a bit strange? Look at the birds in the sky, why are they flying in the sky?" A young soldier in Yebushou team looked at the birds in the sky and said with a puzzled look on his face.

The captain of Yebushou's team looked up at the birds in the sky, and his face suddenly sank.

"There is a situation! Come with me!" The captain of Yebushou shouted, loaded the 56 in his hand, and then increased the speed and ran forward.

"It's already dusk now, and birds usually return to their nests at this time. But now, the birds in the sky are constantly hovering at low altitude, and there is no tendency to go back. There must be people nearby." The captain of Yebushou's team ran forward and murmured.

This is his experience over the years. I dare not say that he is sure to win, but it must be much more accurate.

After walking forward for about two quarters of an hour, a noisy sound suddenly came into these night-dunk ears.

The captain of Yebusuo's team hurriedly led his subordinate Yebusuo to hide in the surrounding woods.

The captain of Yebushou was lying on the ground and looking ahead.

After a while, a team of soldiers with about twenty people passed by them.

"These people should be the soldiers of the court, Ye Bushou." The captain of the Ye Bushou team looked at the Ye Bushou passing by him and murmured.

After these people left, he took Yebusuo, his subordinates, and went forward.

The sky gradually became darker. When the moon was on the treetops, the team of Ye Bushou came to the top of the valley.

At the bottom of this valley, there are continuous tents.

These tents were built by Sun Chengzong. Although Sun Chengzong was afraid of revealing his whereabouts and did not make people angry, the team could still see the tent at the bottom of the valley with the moonlight.

The captain of the Yebu Suan team looked at the tent at the bottom of the valley and his face was extremely serious.

"It seems that these soldiers should be Sun Chengzong's soldiers. No wonder the number of soldiers and horses we encountered outside Chang'an Station was so small, it turned out that the rest of the people were here.

Zhuolu Mountain is very large. If we weren't for our good luck, we might not have discovered the existence of these soldiers." The captain of Yebushou's team muttered twice, then looked at Yebushou who was following him, "Go, go back and pass this order back."

Yebushang team cleaned up, cleaned up his own traces, and then walked back from the other direction.

At this time, Sun Chengzong sat in his big tent.

Because he was afraid of exposing his whereabouts, he did not let someone light the lamp.

The black and black tent was in the entire big tent, Sun Chengzong sat in the main seat of the big tent, his brows tightly locked together, thinking about things.

After a long time, Sun Chengzong let out a long sigh and murmured: "As long as you leave Zhuolu Mountain and go north, you can reach the city of Xuanzhen Zhencheng. If the action is hidden and people cannot discover it, this battle will definitely be successful."

...

Before the sun could rise on the ground, the team returned to the barracks without collecting the night.

Outside the north of Zhuolu Mountain, a battalion of the reserve was stationed.

Because this is a mountainous area, there is less defensive force. After all, mountain roads are difficult to walk, and Hong Chengchou did not take this path last time.

After the captain of the Yebu Suo team returned to the military camp, he reported the situation he had found to the battalion commander.

In the big tent in the middle of the barracks, the battalion commander looked at the captain of Yebushou's team standing in front of him and frowned: "Do you see clearly? Is it really Sun Chengzong's troops?"

The matter is of great importance at this time, and the battalion commander must not be careless.

"Sir, this matter is absolutely true. Although they did not open their banners and did not light up the ignition, the dark tent would not lie. These soldiers must be Sun Chengzong's follow-up soldiers." The captain of Ye Bushou said loudly.
