Chapter 214: Striking the West and Attacking the East (I)

Subsequently, the Xianbei army did not go south again, but carried out a three-day rest in Jinyang.

Their initial goal had been accomplished, and then they had been running long distances for half a month, so that although they maintained high morale because of their successive victories, their actual combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

At this time.

Luoyang had already received the news that Xianbei was going south, and Liu Hong was so shocked that he ignored the palace maid who was being contacted by him at a negative distance, and ran naked like this.

It's just a change of color!

After Liu Hong was tired of running, he didn't have time to care about whether his face was damaged, so he changed into a complete crown that belonged to the emperor under the service of Zhang Rang and others, and went to the Chongde Hall to accept the civil and military officials who had received the news and urgently asked to see him.

It's just that the ministers were noisy and noisy, and it was difficult to make a conclusion for a while, which made Liu Hong, who still hadn't eased up, feel impatient, and he was furious, and directly threw down the military officials and left the Chongde Palace.

The civil and military officials did not leave, and did not dare to leave, in such a situation.

They still had a big argument about who to send to lead the troops to battle, and even a few hot-tempered generals had the idea of doing it directly, but fortunately, they still knew that it was a matter for the court to take care of this place and not lose face, so they put out their minds, but even so, they were red-faced.

The seemingly endless quarrels did not affect their other judgments, and they generously donated large sums of money and food for this expedition, because of the fear in their hearts.

As for the issue of going on the expedition, after being beaten badly last year, the northern army was quickly replenished, of course, thanks to the help of the ministers of the DPRK and China, otherwise Liu Hong, the emperor who picked the door, would not agree. Among them, the Yuan family, who regarded themselves as the first family in the world, was the most, donating money and food and even actively, and the number was also very large, which won Liu Hong's attention, and in the past six months, several important figures of the Yuan family have been promoted.

Of course, promotion also requires a promotion fee, but the Yuan family does not lack this sesame mung bean property at all, so it is very bold to give it. Their goal is the fourth world and the third duke! Completely overwhelmed the Hongnong Yang family and became the real first family in the world!

Three days passed quickly, and the civil and military officials of the court and the central government still failed to come up with a result, mainly because of Zhang Huan's problem, some people thought that the general of the defeated army was not brave enough, and one side thought that it was just a beautiful mistake, and it could not reduce Zhang Huan's ability to command the army.

At this time, Gřidoro had already led an army of 40,000 Xianbei to continue southward and advance to the upper party. The other 40,000 troops began to wreak havoc in Taiyuan County, and in just two days, they conquered Yuci, Yangyi, Qixian, Jingling and other cities one after another.

Gřidoro's speed was much slower compared to him, and he had just entered the Shangdang and arrived at the city of Nirze.

When the imperial court got the news again, it happened to be the stall where he took Niexian and continued to go south, and the imperial court obviously did not think he was slow, but felt why it was so fast, because Shangdang was next to Hanoi.

Hanoi is already on the edge of Luoyang, and it is simply entering Luoyang!

Above the court, Liu Hong rarely directly ignored the quarrels of the ministers, and ordered Zhang Huan as the general, Yuan Zhi and others as the deputies, and led 30,000 northern troops to the north quickly.

This time, the speed of the northern army was extremely fast, one was Liu Hong's death order issued in a rage, and the other was that the barbarians were about to attack Hanoi, and they had to defend the precarious Han Tianwei.

Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away!

These words have been deeply engraved into the hearts of all people, whether it is Confucianism who has always advocated indoctrination, or the military family who advocates expulsion and suppression by force, they are all the same idea at this time.

Zhang Huan hurried to hurry, but when he finally felt Huguan, Geridoro had already taken the last city north of Huguan the day before, and was rushing to Huguan at this time.

Zhang Huan knew that Xianbei's field strength was strong, and the gains outweighed the losses in the hard encounter, and he was tired after a long-distance attack, and if he rashly attacked, he would inevitably be hit head-on, and he would die in a battle, so he ordered to rest and recuperate in Huguan. Prepare to wait for work and fight it back in order to boost morale and stabilize the morale of the army.

There are also generals in the army who advocate taking the initiative, but not only Zhang Huan is against it, but even Yuan Zhi and other deputy generals are the same.

Yuan Zhi and the others are not stupid, they are just here to get some credit by the way, as for how to fight, just pretend to be two times to prove their sense of existence.

It's just that to Zhang Huan's disappointment, after Ge Ridoro arrived at Huguan, there was no sign of tackling key problems, but instead set up a camp not far from the pass, with a posture of fighting for a long time.

Zhang Huan had the heart to go out and fight with him, but the 80,000 Xianbei army was really a heavy topic, so that he, and all the generals in the army, did not have the slightest "temptation".

The next day, Gezhidoro symbolically sent people to call for a long time, and then sent people to pretend to attack for half a day, so that Zhang Huan and other generals of the Northern Army who were ready had the illusion that we were not the defender, but the attacker.

For the next ten days, Gerzydoro slightly increased the number of provocations, yes, slightly, only by a few hundred. This made the generals of the Northern Army enthusiastic, and they all shouted that they wanted to go out of the city and fight, but at this time, Zhang Huan would point to the Daxu of Tanshi Huai standing not far away, and the tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry around Daxu and said-

"If you can defeat them, then go ahead!"

The generals of the Northern Army who asked for the battle suddenly withered, they were not hussar generals, nor champion marquis, nor Ban Dingyuan, nor were they Li Fei.

Fortunately, although Xianbei pretends to be every day, the arrows of the Northern Army are not given in vain, and the lives of hundreds of Xianbei soldiers have been harvested, which can be regarded as a self-comfort.

Half a month's "entanglement" let Zhang Huan know that if he didn't make any changes, I was afraid that the imperial court would come again.

It's just that he meditated all night, but he didn't come up with any good solution.

"Perhaps, the only way is to sneak attack at night!"

A sneak attack during the day was an unimaginable thing for the Northern Army. 30,000 Northern Army, a total of 5,000 cavalry, although they also have excellent war horses, but this excellent is based on the Central Plains, and the gap with Xianbei's war horses is not small. 5,000 vs. tens of thousands, as long as one is not careful, there is not even slag left.

Fools know you can't do that.

"Hey...... I can only take a risk, otherwise the longer the time drags on, the longer the people of Taiyuan and Shangdang will be harmed. Zhang Huan finally made such a decision, he couldn't watch the people being harmed by the Xianbei barbarians.

It's just that what Zhang Huan didn't expect was that the Da Xuan he had been seeing was only Da Xu, but Tan Shihuai himself was ......

Youzhou, to the south of Pingshu City, Daijun, on the traffic artery connecting Pingshu and Lingqiu and Guangchang of Zhongshan Kingdom, I don't know when a large number of Xianbei troops appeared. The strict formation indicates that they are the elite from the Shan Yu royal court.

Its purpose is already self-evident, that is-

Jizhou!

Jizhou, whether it is population or economy, can be said to be the most Han! How could Tanshi Huai ignore a delicious delicacy and go to a merge state with only a hint of meat?
