Zu Wheel led 5,000 Turkic elite cavalry to the hinterland of Hebei in the starry night, and Wanyan Aguta also sent the general Huang Taiji to lead 3,000 Jurchen cavalry to help.

More than 8,000 cavalrymen came and went in units of 100 people, attacking sporadically, killing people and setting fires, stirring up panic and anxiety in the northern part of Hebei, and making the local officials anxious.

Hebei has experienced wars, Ye County is still under the control of Zhu Yuanzhang's remnants, if at this time let Zu Wheel and Huang Taiji burn and loot in Hebei, it will inevitably cause chaos in the rear.

Yang Gao immediately made a decision, while strengthening the protection of the grain road, and ordered the prefectures and counties of Hebei to recruit township soldiers to strengthen protection, and Fu Youde was the main one, supplemented by Zhang He, Zhang Liao, Lu Xiangsheng, Qin Huaiyu, and Luo Tong, and commanded 30,000 troops to return to Hebei to exterminate the ancestral wheel and the Huang Taiji department.

However, the cavalry came and went like the wind, and Yang Gao could not send the main cavalry force to encircle and intercept the ancestral wheel Huang Taiji, so Fu Youde only had 4,000 cavalry under the command of Zhang Liao, and the rest were infantry, so it was not easy to catch up with the Hu cavalry on the Hebei Plain?

"Hey, yesterday, I came to report that Hu Lu looted two villages outside Gaoyang County, most of the people in the village were killed, and the grain and money were looted!"

Luo Tong slammed the helmet in his hand hatefully and scolded: "What kind of ability do these damn Hu Lu have to use knives against those defenseless people? If you have the ability to come out and fight with the master, see how the master pokes seventeen or eighteen holes in them! ”

"General Fu, it's not a way to go on like this!"

Lu Xiangsheng persuaded Fu Youde with some concern: "Hu Lu are all cavalry, and they can't attack the prefectures and counties protected by city walls, in order to get grain and grass supplements, the villages looted are increasing day by day, and the common people have suffered a great disaster!" ”

Fu Youde nodded and said, "Your Majesty has just recovered Hebei, if you let this gang of Hulu continue to be so scourge, the people's hearts in Hebei will be gone!" ”

"But it's not easy to intercept this group of hulus! Why don't you ask Your Majesty to send a few more thousand cavalry to help! Qin Huaiyu proposed.

Fu Youde immediately shook his head and vetoed: "Temujin and Wanyan Agu beat more than 100,000 cavalry in Youzhou, and Luo Yi refused to put the army into Zhuojun City under the pretext of refusing to put the army into Zhuojun City, and the cavalry strength in the hands of His Majesty was already stretched thin!" ”

Zhang He said: "We must think of a way to lure this gang of thieves out, so that the physical strength of the soldiers will not be able to keep up!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "General Fu, the last general thinks that if he wants to lure this group of thieves to appear, we are the only ones who show their flaws first. "There will be a plan in the end, maybe to lure the thief to show up."

"General Lu, let's hear it!"

"General Fu can first divide the army into five routes, take care of each other, and march in harmony. After marching like this for more than ten days, the last general led an army to make a greedy and reckless advance, and distanced himself from the left and right flanks. ”

Hearing this, Qin Huaiyu immediately asked: "This plan is indeed good, but how can General Lu be sure that the gang of thieves will definitely appear?" You know, they were ordered to attack the hinterland of Hebei, and they should find a way to avoid our army! "The picture is broadcast all over the world

"Since the Turks and Jurchens entered Youzhou, Luo Yi has been defeated in successive battles, Zhang Dashuai is forced by foreign soldiers, and he does not dare to confront him head-on, half of Youzhou has fallen into the hands of thieves, and Hu Lu has long been empty-eyed, and regards my Great Sui army as a mustard."

Lu Xiangsheng said in a deep voice: "When our army first entered Hebei, it was attacked and harassed by thieves twice, but General Fu did not let these thieves attack the camp. After all, if we can inflict a heavy blow on our army in the hinterland of Hebei, this will not only be a fatal blow to Hebei, which has just stabilized, but also to the front-line army. ”

"What General Lu said is good!"

Fu Youde nodded slowly, and said, "But General Lu, the Hulu cavalry comes and goes like the wind, and if you want to hide from Hulu, all the departments of our army will distance themselves from you at that time." If your unit is routed before our troops can come back to help, then we will be self-defeating this time! ”

"General Fu rest assured, although Hu Lu has repeatedly broken the Youzhou army, the last general secretly thinks that the Youzhou army has been sparse for a long time, Luo Yi is arrogant and violent, and his subordinates have Shi Jingjiao, An Lushan, Wu Sangui and the like, greedy for life and afraid of death, and the Hu people are no longer the Youzhou army of the year."

Lu Xiangsheng said confidently: "Over the years, our army has moved from Jiangnan to the Central Plains, and then to Youzhou, Hebei, and has fought against rebels such as Wagang, Li Tang, and Zhu Yuanzhang, and has rich experience in the battlefield. The last general believed that our soldiers could hold out until the moment when the army returned to help. ”

Out of trust in his army, Fu Youde thought deeply for a long time, and finally nodded and adopted Lu Xiangsheng's suggestion.

。。。。。。。。。。

Sure enough, Zu Wheel and Huang Taiji had been sending secret sentinels to closely observe the movements of Fu Youde's department. More than ten days later, when the two found out that Lu Xiangsheng's headquarters had been too far away from the main force, they felt that the fighter plane was rare, and immediately ordered all departments to mobilize military horses and prepare to eat Lu Xiangsheng's headquarters in one bite.

Besides, Lu Xiangsheng was full of confidence in offering time to Fu Youde, but he didn't dare to be careless in execution, and all the three thousand troops and horses under his command were all following him in the old department of the Central Plains and the Tang Army, all of them were fierce, well-organized, and disciplined.

The march was also cautious along the way, for fear that if they were not careful, they would walk into an alien ambush, and constantly send scouts around.

After learning that the 8,000 Hu cavalry had killed him, Lu Xiangsheng was relieved, secretly relieved, and quickly sent an eagle message to inform the other generals, and then pretended to move forward for a few miles, only to pretend to be as if he had just discovered the movement of the Hu cavalry, and fled north in a panic.

"I want to run, it's too late!"

After detecting the movements of Lu Xiangsheng's department, Zu Wheel and Huang Taiji really hit the plan, secretly thinking that this must be a Sui general who was greedy for merit, and the troops were advancing too fast and causing them to be out of touch with the main force, and immediately ordered all departments to pursue at full speed, striving to eat this lone Sui army in one bite.

The two troops chased and fled on the Hebei Plain, and most of Lu Xiangsheng's troops were infantry, so it was naturally impossible to run past the four-legged cavalry.

Seeing that Hu Cai was getting closer and closer to him, Lu Xiangsheng immediately made a decision and ordered the troops to choose a nearby place to form a defense and wait for reinforcements. And it just so happened that the location chosen by Lu Xiangsheng turned out to be Jiazhuang in Julu County.
