Youzhou Pass in the north of Youzhou is the only way for ethnic minorities to go south.

No matter how powerful the ethnic minorities are, they will not be able to go south to the Central Plains without passing through Youzhou Pass.

Youzhou Guan is like a great father, silently guarding the people of the Central Plains for many years.

Even if it is riddled with holes and dilapidation, there is not a word of complaint.

But I have treated you as a son, but you cannot treat me as a father.

There will always be people who will secretly collude with the ethnic minorities in the north, open the gate of Youzhou Pass, and let the ethnic minorities enter the customs.

After the ethnic minorities entered the customs, they were like robbers, robbing and killing the people of the Central Plains.

The people who let them go are Han sinners;

At the same time, these people also broke the heart of this 'old father'.

The ability of the intelligence battalion is extraordinary, but it has a range, and the scope is within Youzhou Pass, north of the Yangtze River.

In these territories, the intelligence battalion can be said to be pervasive, and many things can be obtained in the first place.

Outside the gates, the capabilities of the intelligence battalion are much worse.

The living habits and cohesion of ethnic minorities, as well as their resistance to the Han Chinese, prevented the intelligence battalion from reaching out to seek information.

Just like this time: the Wuhuan clan sent 100,000 troops, such a big thing, but after entering Youzhou Pass, the intelligence battalion quickly spread the news to Zhang Liao's hands.

The reason why the intelligence battalion dared to send the information directly to the commander-in-chief was the privilege granted by Han Chengte to the intelligence battalion, and the most important information was given to the people who needed it most.

Han Cheng is far away in Taiyuan County, if the intelligence battalion first tells Han Cheng the information, let Han Cheng make a decision, and then tell Zhang Liao that this time back and forth, the battle of Youzhou is almost over.

In this way, it can make full use of the role of the intelligence battalion, and avoid the 'red tape' of having to go through Han Cheng and letting Han Cheng make decisions.

It gives the generals a great deal of temporary decision-making power, increasing the chances of winning wars.

After receiving such important information, Zhang Liao immediately gave up the offensive plan formulated by He Fuzhi, Xu Shu, Sima Yi and others, and turned to attack and defend.

And contracted the defensive line, collected the grain, and held on to Quang Duong County.

Guangyang County, Guangyang County, is the only way for the eastern part of Youzhou to reach the western part of Youzhou, and this county is the connecting belt of Youzhou.

The county is strategically located, but it is difficult to garrison troops for long periods of time.

Mainly because the county town is small and the walls are thin.

If you arrange a small number of troops, you can't hold it;

If you arrange a large number of troops, you can't hold it.

Zhang Liao chose such a chicken place, and everyone under his command was not very satisfied.

However, Zhang Liaoli overrode public opinion and insisted on placing the army in Guangyang County.

On behalf of everyone, the Zhengjun division asked Zhang Liao: "Zhang Shuai, although there are very few cities in Youzhou that can garrison troops, there are still many cities with high walls and thick walls.

Why did you choose such a small city?

This battle is extraordinary, the enemy is numerous, and we don't have the advantage of the city, but we are going to be at a disadvantage. ”

Zhang Liaoyi replied rhetorically: "Frustrated military division, I know your worries. But I must defend this city, because I am a soldier! I used to be a soldier at the border.

Soldiers are the people who are selected by the people to protect themselves; Therefore, let us put the people first in everything.

This time, the Wuhuan army pressed the border. We can indeed hold on to our fortified cities and then look for opportunities to defeat them.

But what about the people of the small towns? They are also the people under the rule of our army!

For the sake of victory, our army will ignore them? I can't.

I only stationed troops here just to prevent the Wuhuan army from passing. ”

After listening to Zhang Liao's explanation, he instantly respected Zhang Liao.

The so-called 'benevolent invincible' may be talking about people like Zhang Liao.

With benevolence and righteousness to the people in your heart, you can be invincible in the world!

At this time, the eyes that looked at Zhang Liao were full of respect.

said respectfully to Zhang Liao: "Zhang Shuai, I agree to garrison troops in this county again, and I will settle the affairs in the army; If you are defeated this time and return to Taiyuan County, I will take responsibility with you. It's an honor to be able to fight side by side with you. ”

......

After the intelligence battalion sent the information to Zhang Liao, they quickly transmitted the information back to Taiyuan County through their own means.

After receiving the information, Han Cheng immediately arranged for Wei Yan to lead 20,000 Qinglong troops to support Zhang Liao in Youzhou.

Although the number of reinforcements is not large, this is already Han Cheng's limit.

At this time, Han Cheng only had 60,000 cavalry in his hands, and this time, all of them were in Youzhou.

In a war between the two sides, strength is the key.

The more soldiers there are, the more confidence you have, this is an eternal truth.

What Han Cheng has to do is to give Zhang Liao enough confidence, which is his trust in Zhang Liao and an affirmation of Zhang Liao's ability.

A day after Wei Yan led the army to set off, Han Cheng saw Kirbineng's 'messenger', and saw that this warrior looked like a dusty man.

After this person reported the news to Han Cheng, Han Cheng expressed his gratitude to the 'messenger' and asked him to treat him well.

After Kirbineng's 'messenger' left, Han Cheng said to Li Ru beside him with a displeased face: "Wenyou, what do you think of Kirbineng's 'ally'?" ”

Observing words and colors requires insight.

Li Ru's ability to observe words and colors has already reached its peak, so his ability to perceive details has also reached the realm of perfection.

When Han Cheng showed displeasure on his face, Li Ru knew what Han Cheng was going to say.

After Han Cheng finished speaking, Li Ru smiled slightly and replied softly to Han Cheng: "Don't be angry, lord!" What Kirby can do, it's all children playing with the leftovers, you and I both know it. It's not worth being angry with him. ”

People who are angry, whether men or women, like to 'turn over old accounts'.

It's as if 'turning over old accounts' can dissipate gas.

As everyone knows, the matter of 'turning over old accounts' is getting more and more popular.

After listening to Li Ru's words, Han Cheng still said with a displeased face: "Hmph! Last time, he asked to open Dacheng County and Jiuyuan County to him, and let him send 10,000 war horses to show his sincerity.

The result?

Of the 10,000 war horses he sent, excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled, less than 5,000 horses can be used, this is sincerity?

For the sake of stability in the north, I didn't bother with him about this matter, but still opened Dacheng County and Jiuyuan County to him.

But I didn't expect that after only so many months, he dared to give me such a moment behind his back, I really thought I was too good to bully? ”

Li Ru looked at Han Cheng and said in his heart: "Although the lord is much more mature than his peers, the age is here. It's just a young man in his twenties. What young man is not vigorous? Are the unassuming people young people? ”

Li Ru said earnestly to Han Cheng: "Lord! That's a good thing. It is a blessing for us to have this person in the north of our territory.

You and I both know that although Kirbyneng's Youzhou Xianbei clan seems to be extremely powerful on the surface, what is it in fact? It's not constantly weakening.

To the north of the Xianbei tribe in Youzhou is the cold land, and to the south is the cities of Youzhou.

To the west is the Southern Xiongnu and Xianbei tribes supported by us, and to the east is the Wuhuan tribe supported by Yuan Shao.

These people from both the east and west can introduce the advanced technology of the Central Plains through us and Yuan Shao, and their power is stronger day by day.

Therefore, Kirby can only watch others continue to grow.

He must have been very anxious in his heart.

That's why Kirby didn't hesitate to send 10,000 horses to form an alliance with us, so that we could open up the two counties and let them grow rapidly.

At this time, I really admired Kirby's ability.

Born on the grassland, but can be so discerning, it's rare!

However, Kirby was able to use some of the bad horses to make good horses for us, which made me instantly disappointed in him.

Such a person, even if he has great ambitions in his chest, is useless, because his chest cannot hold the world.

This time, it seems that Kirby can make a good calculation: by delaying the delivery of the letter, let the Wuhuan clan fight to the death with us.

When the time comes, no matter which side loses, Kirby can benefit from it.

If the best can be achieved – both lose-losers – it will be even better for Kirby.

At that time, this northern grassland will only be dominated by his Kirby family, and for at least ten years, the entire grassland will be his Kirby family.

However, his actions are just trying to cover up for us.

Because he didn't know that we had an intelligence battalion.

The news had already been reported to General Zhang Liao.

Such a person is in our north, if we can win the battle against the Wuhuan tribe.

I promise that in twenty years, Kirby will never have the idea of going south.

Because he was afraid. ”

Han Cheng said to Li Ru, "How do you know that General Zhang Liao will definitely win?" ”

Li Ru replied solemnly: "Although the Wuhuan clan has more than 100,000 cavalry, in the final analysis, they are just untrained 'militia', even if they are superb in horsemanship, how can they know the importance of formation." On the other hand, General Zhang Liao has a handsome style of arranging troops.

How can we not win? ”

Han Cheng smiled at Li Ru and said, "Wen You, I didn't expect you to know something about the art of war?" ”

Li Ru cheekily replied: "Actually, I don't understand it either, it's just talking!" I think the main reason why General Zhang Liao was able to win was because General Zhang Liao was the person selected by the lord. ”

Then he added like a sycophant: "The person selected by the lord must be the pride of the sky." For example, Fu Zhu, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and me. ”

Han Cheng: "......"

......

On that day, the 100,000 cavalry of the Wuhuan tribe rushed towards Guangyang County.

Zhang Liao stood at the top of the city wall, looking at the approaching cavalry from afar.

About a tea time later, Zhang Liao walked down the city wall and said to the generals beside him: "I already have a strategy to break the enemy, please come with me." ”

Wait until the people come to the account.

Zhang Liao said to everyone: "I just observed that the upcoming cavalry formation is not in order and is chaotic. If we take advantage of this opportunity to send troops, we will surely defeat them in one fell swoop. ”
