Guo Wei had already led the army south at this time and met Dong Zunhui who came to report on the way. Dong Zunhui introduced Murong Yanchao's military layout to Guo Wei and explained to Guo Wei that Murong Yanchao had ambushed last night. Guo Wei was not surprised when he heard this. Murong Yanchao was a long-time general after all, and had never eaten pork or even saw pigs running. It was normal to learn some knowledge about Buying with everyone.

After the two discussed it, Guo Wei led the army to continue south, while Dong Zunhui set up a camp in place and rested on the spot. He didn't sleep all night last night, and now he is really tired. Dong Zunhui is now the official position of General Ranger, and he is considered a fifth-rank. I believe that after conquering Kaifeng Prefecture, he will definitely be promoted to a fifth-rank general.[]

At around the afternoon of the Sun, Dong Zunhui woke up and took a quick wash. Seeing that most of the soldiers in the army were awake, Dong Zunhui ordered the entire army to gather, demolish the tent and continue to move south. At night, he finally caught up with the main force. It has to be said that Dong Zunhui is very popular in the army. Several sworn brothers sent troops to help set up the tent in advance, and Dong Zunhui's troops just check in.

One day later, Guo Wei led his army to Liu Zipi, north of Kaifeng Prefecture, and contacted Murong Yanchao's vanguard. Many of the people in the two armies used to be from personal guards, but now they are still a little reluctant to attack. Moreover, Guo Wei's troops have just arrived at Liu Zipo and are in need of some rest, so they are not suitable for a decisive battle immediately.

Guo Wei said to everyone: "This time we launched troops south mainly to clear the ruling and kill treacherous and slanderous people, not to usurp the throne. Everyone guards their posts and is not allowed to attack without authorization."

Murong Yanchao knew that he was facing a powerful army that fought all over the world. Although he looked down on Guo Wei, as a long-time general who had been fighting for many years, he felt that it was better to be cautious. In addition, Wu Qianyu and others were also constantly persuading each other, Murong Yanchao did not order the entire army to attack, but sent scouts to continuously reconnaissance the situation of Guo Wei's troops.

Guo Wei also sent people to intercept and kill the scouts of Murong Yanchao's troops. Although the two armies did not officially start a war, small-scale battles continued to be staged in the open space between the two armies. Either Guo Wei's scout chased Murong Yanchao's spy, or Murong Yanchao's spy chased Guo Wei's spy. The soldiers of the two armies stood on both sides and kept cheering, just like watching a competitive game in the future.

Although the scale of the scouts of the two armies was very small, and the largest confrontation did not exceed 500 people, it was very fierce and cruel. Because they were all cavalry fighting, once the horse was injured, it would be difficult for the riders to leave the battlefield. The cavalry selected by the two armies to pursue this death are loyal to their respective commanders, and even if they were dismissed, they would not surrender. All those who awaited them were death!

Seeing the scouts he carefully selected tied with Guo Wei's troops, Murong Yanchao was very happy, which showed that his army was as strong as Guo Wei. He also had a home advantage and was very convenient to replenish food and grass. In this way, his winning rate was very high in this battle.

Just as the emperor sent someone to inquire about the situation of the war again, Murong Yanchao made a passionate look and replied loudly: "If your Majesty is bored in the palace tomorrow, you might as well go out of the city again to see me defeat the bandits of the Guo family! In fact, I don't have to do anything. Just shout to scare their courage and defeat Guo Wei's troops in one fell swoop!"

Just when Murong Yanchao was bragging again, Guo Wei and the others were also carefully analyzing the military situation. During the last scout attack, Guo Wei joined the three thousand cavalry of Dong Zunhui's troops in one fell swoop and occupied the entire battlefield. Dong Zunhui not only drove out and killed Murong Yanchao's troops, but also captured more than ten people alive and dragged all the bodies of the dead back to the camp.

Dong Zunhui stood in front of the map and reported to Guo Wei, Wang Jun and others: "Master General, our troops dragged back the bodies of 372 enemy troops. The eleven battalions were found on the bodies and captured thirteen prisoners alive, but only two were willing to confess. According to their confession, the scouts who participated in the war today were all dead soldiers carefully selected by Murong Yanchao, in order to attack our morale. However, Murong Yanchao's troops were equal in combat, and the scouts they carefully selected actually tied with our ordinary cavalry!"

Everyone was very happy, but Guo Wei just nodded slightly and whispered: "Don't be careless. Marines and combat are extremely serious matters, and you must not play tricks. Daoan, the sand table you piled last time is very interesting. While it was still early, you can try to make one with your subordinates now, let's discuss it again."

Dong Zunhui immediately took the order and called several scouts over, piled up dirt into a simple sand table, and used stones to show Murong Yanchao's troops. This was the first time that the team members showed up in front of so many generals, and they all tried their best to show themselves, telling all the situations they had discovered, and assisting Dong Zunhui to mark the situation on the battlefield on the sand table.

Soon, Dong Zunhui marked the sand table and showed it to the generals. At this time, Wang Jun obtained Guo Wei's consent and introduced to everyone: "The enemy army in front of us is mainly divided into three groups, one is the local royal army headed by Murong Yanchao, one is the personal infantry capital of the guards headed by Zhao Hongyin, the main force of the guards guards, and the other is the speculative faction headed by Hou Yi, Wu Qianyu and others.

Among them, Murong Yanchao was proud and complacent. Although he was the most powerful, his strength was the weakest. He rushed to serve the king and only brought a personal barracks! Zhao Hongyin's subordinates basically participated in the attack on the four major ministers of the regents, which was a huge crime! And they knew that if we win, they would definitely be held accountable, so they were the most determined to fight. As for Hou Yi, Wu Qianyu and others, they were originally supporters of the emperor, but since the Liu Chengyou coup, everyone has not been valued by Liu Chengyou. Now they are like fencemen. The power over there will be strong, and the power over there will be falling to the power over there!"

Guo Wei was very satisfied with Wang Jun's introduction. He looked around the generals and shouted: "Do you understand? In fact, our plan tomorrow is very simple, which is to use the main force to fight against Zhao Hongyin's troops, forcing them to be unable to interfere in the war. At the same time, we concentrated our elite forces to attack Murong Yanchao's troops and defeated them in one fell swoop. Then we drove the defeated troops to the royal army camps in various places, scared them away, and then forced the submission to Hou Yi and others with the great victory. At this time, our army had an absolute advantage, and we could surround Zhao Hongyin and completely annihilate them! Do you understand? Wang Jun, Guo Chongwei, Li Rong, you three are responsible for the battle against Zhao Hongyin; I am in charge of the central army; Dong Zunhui's troops have the most cavalry, and Murong Yanchao will be handed over to you!..."

All the generals took the order and went to make preparations before the war. The Liu Zipi War is about to begin...
