Outside the city of Suoyang.

Chong Shiheng was taking the generals in the army to pay tribute to the dead soldiers in Suoyang City, and rushed over from the direction of Yumen Pass on a fast horse, galloped in front of Chong Shiheng, stopped his horse, and jumped off the horse.

"Kind of Tongzhi, Kou Shu's secret order, the whole army up and down, rush to Yumen Pass within one day."

The captain of the herald jumped off his horse and quickly counted the orders that Kou Ji wanted to convey to Chong Shiheng.

After hearing this, Chong Shiheng frowned slightly.

Chen Yaozhi took a few steps forward, walked to the front of Chong Shiheng, and hesitated: "One day...... Isn't it a bit rushed? ”

Chong Shiheng nodded and said, "It's a little rushed......"

Chong Shiheng subconsciously looked at the captain who gave the order.

The captain of the herald hurriedly said: "Kou Shumi, this is a Privy Council order!" ”

Chong Shiheng smiled bitterly and nodded, "Understood......"

Chong Shiheng looked at Chen Yaozhi and said with a wry smile: "Our privy envoy has given a death order, if we rush over too late, he will probably get angry." ”

Chen Yaozhi nodded.

Chong Shiheng instructed the people around him: "Put away your things, order a quick march, and you must rush to Yumen Pass tomorrow." ”

When Chong Shiheng's lieutenant heard this, he hesitated, "...... tonight"

"No rest tonight."

Under the order of Chong Shiheng, the army quickly marched and rushed to Yumen Pass.

At noon the next day.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses escorted hundreds of thousands of captives into the Yumen Pass, and in an instant, the Yumen Pass was overcrowded.

Kou Ji instructed Du Yan to set up a camp outside the Yumen Pass to the north, and placed some of the soldiers and prisoners in it.

After everything is settled.

Kou Ji, Chong Shiheng, and Chen Yaozhi sat down together and began to discuss military affairs.

After sitting down.

Kou Ji slowly spoke: "Jiaoguo Luo and Yuanshan are leading 350,000 soldiers and horses, and they should arrive at Yumen Pass at noon tomorrow. Before that, we evacuated the people of Xiliangcheng, Ganzhou, Suzhou and other places.

Therefore, after their soldiers and horses entered the west of the river, they did not encounter any resistance.

The soldiers and horses in his hands were not damaged.

We are facing 350,000 elite soldiers, so we must prepare early. ”

Chong Shiheng groaned and said: "Our Yumen Pass soldiers are strong and strong, but we are not afraid. I'm afraid there will be some danger over there. At present, there are only more than 30,000 elite soldiers guarding Yangguan, not only to face the attack of Jiaoguoluo, but also to guard against those Liao soldiers hiding in Shazhou at all times.

Once the battle in Yangguan broke out, Di Qing was likely to face a two-sided attack. ”

Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "General Chen took Yongzitou to Yangguan, 80,000 forbidden troops, should be able to hold Yangguan." ”

Chong Shiheng and Chen Yaozhi were both stunned.

After thinking about it.

Chen Yaozhi nodded.

The enemy's main force should come back to attack Yumen Pass, and the troops going to Yangguan should not be too many.

If the 80,000 forbidden troops stick to Yangguan, there should be no problem.

It's just that if Chen Yao went to Yangguan, the power of Yumen Pass was relatively weakened.

Don't look at the fact that there are nearly two or three hundred thousand soldiers and horses in Yumen Pass, and the real soldiers are only one of the Zhenxi Army, and the rest are local soldiers.

The combat effectiveness of the local soldiers is worse than that of the forbidden army, but it is more than a star and a half.

If there is only one forbidden army, it will be very difficult to face the 300,000 elites in Qingtang.

But neither Yangguan nor Yumen Pass can be lost.

Therefore, even if the Yongzitou led by Chen Yaozhi is dispatched, the battle at Yumen Pass will be very difficult, and it will be divided.

Kou Ji seemed to see what the two were thinking, and said to them, "You don't need to worry too much. No matter how many soldiers and horses there are in Qingtang, they can't break through Yumen Pass and Yangguan Pass.

This time, we must not only resist their attack, but also counterattack back and annihilate them in one fell swoop. ”

Chong Shiheng and Chen Yaozhi glanced at each other and shook their heads in unison.

"It's okay to block them, but if you want to counterattack, it's a little difficult. Unless we now have an extra Praetorian Army. ”

Chen Yaozhi said.

Chong Shiheng nodded approvingly.

Kou Ji said calmly: "There is no forbidden army, but there is one heavy armored cavalry." ”

Chong Shiheng and Chen Yaozhi looked at Kou Ji with stunned expressions.

Before the Great Song Dynasty, there was a heavy armored cavalry, but the military system was innovated, and after the firearms entered the army, the heavy armored cavalry was abolished, and the soldiers were also allocated to the Zhenbei Army and the Jingsai Army.

The armaments of the heavy cavalry were also sold by Ko Ji at a very black price.

Now the Great Song Dynasty has no heavy armor to ride.

Chen Yaozhi may not be clear about this matter.

But the Privy Council knew it clearly.

Seeing that Chong Shiheng and Chen Yaozhi looked at him with puzzled expressions, Kou Ji said lightly: "Until now, I won't hide it from you. Motoyamabe has been our people from beginning to end. ”

"It shouldn't ...... If Yuanshanbu is our people, if they don't help us defend against the Qingtang people, how can they help the Qingtang people fight us? ”

Chen Yao asked suspiciously.

Kou Ji chuckled lightly and said, "I instructed the Yuanshan Department to help the Qingtang people deal with us. ”

Chong Shiheng and Chen Yaozhi looked stunned.

Yuanshan is only a genus of the Great Song Dynasty, not a part of the Great Song Dynasty.

Secretly instructing the people of the Yuanshan Department to trap the enemy, the risk is quite large.

Arrange your own people to be Infernal Affairs, and sometimes there will be backlash.

Arrange outsiders to be Infernal Affairs, and the chance of backlash is greater.

Chong Shiheng and Chen Yaozhi glanced at each other.

Chen Yaozhi stared at Kou Ji and said, "Forgive your presumptuousness, what is Kou Shumi's person who controls the Yuanshan Department and makes them obey you?" ”

Kou Ji didn't answer Chen Yaozhi's question, because he couldn't tell Chong Shiheng and Chen Yaozhi the truth.

Kou Ji just said lightly: "Can I make the people of the Yuanshan Department obey their orders, you will naturally know when they arrive." When the time comes, I will give each of you an arrow.

Depending on the situation on the battlefield, you can issue arrows.

Give them a command against the water.

Until the arrows are issued, they will still be disguised.

So even if they run into my Great Song soldiers, they will kill them when necessary.

Therefore, it is very important to order when the arrow is released. ”

Seeing that Kou Ji was unwilling to confess, Chong Shiheng and Chen Yao didn't ask any more questions.

Since Kou Ji was reluctant to tell them the truth, he naturally had a reason why he was reluctant to speak.

They decided very tacitly not to rely on the soldiers and horses of the Yuanshan Division.

Then against the Qingtang people, they will rely on themselves.

On the premise of relying on their own soldiers and horses to block the Qingtang people, they will ignite the arrows and let the people of the Yuanshan Department turn back and give the Qingtang people a hard blow.

If the people of the Wonsan Department are against the water, they will recognize the people of the Wonsan Department and treat them as their own.

If the people of the Yuanshan tribe do not oppose the water, they will treat the people of the Yuanshan tribe as enemies and treat them together with the Qingtang people.

After Kou Ji handed over the battle at Yangguan and Yumen Pass to Chong Shiheng and Chen Yaozhi, he issued an arrow to each of them and asked them to start deploying their troops.

As the forces began to be deployed.

Both Yangguan and Yumen Pass have entered a state of intense preparation.

And Jiaoguoluo, whom they regarded as a great enemy, was hesitating whether to attack Yumen Pass and Yangguan.

After dark.

A grassland twenty miles away from Yumen Pass.

350,000 soldiers and horses of Qingtang and Yuanshan were stationed here.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, the lights are bright.

Qingtang Wang Jiaoluo sat in the first place, his brows furrowed.

An Ziluo sat on his right hand, and his face was not very good-looking.

Motoyama sat on the left hand side of Kakuro with a gloomy face.

The other generals sat on either side.

Jiao Guluo frowned and said: "The Liao State has just sent someone to match the news that the Black Khan King Yu Sufu was defeated as early as a month ago.

The Black Khan King Yusufu had already fled from Shazhou with the remnants.

Now Shazhou and Guazhou are back in the hands of the Song State again.

In addition, the Song general Di Qing, who guarded Yangguan a month ago, went out of the pass to face the Liao State Shenyin Xiao's rival, and almost killed Xiao Rival, who is now leading the remnants to hide in Shazhou. ”

An Ziluo hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then Yumen Pass and Yangguan, can we still fight it?" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the tent.

This time, they led their troops into Hexi and entered Yumen Pass and Yangguan Pass, the purpose of which was to form a two-sided attack with the soldiers and horses of the Liao State and the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty, break through the Yangguan and Yumen Passes, annihilate the Song soldiers inside, welcome their allies into the Great Song Dynasty, and divide the Great Song Dynasty together.

But now both allies have been beaten down.

When they attack Yumen Pass and Yangguan Pass, not only will they not get any help, but they will even lose their troops for this.

Whether to beat Yumen Pass and Yangguan has become a big problem.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the tent was very solemn, Jiao Guluo sighed in his heart, turned his head sideways at Yuanshan, and asked: "What does the leader of Yuanshan think, Yumen Pass and Yangguan, should we fight or not?" ”

Yuan Shan asked rhetorically: "We are about to go to Yumen Pass and Yangguan Pass, is it still necessary to discuss this now?" ”

"Of course it's necessary. If we don't fight Yumen Pass and Yangguan Pass, we can immediately lead our troops to kill in the territory of the Song Kingdom, attack the city and plunder the land, and loot the gold, silver and jewelry.

If we fight Yumen Pass and Yangguan Pass, we will have to fight with the Song people here for a long time.

At that time, not to mention the loss of troops, it is difficult to say whether there is spare strength to go to the territory of the Song State to attack cities and plunder land, and loot gold, silver and jewelry. ”

A Qingtang general had a gloomy face, and the urn interjected angrily.

Yuan Shan sneered: "Do you think that if you give up Yumen Pass and Yangguan to attack cities and land in the Song Kingdom, the Song soldiers in Yangguan and Yumen Pass will watch safely?"

Aren't you afraid that they will go out of Shazhou, attack my Yuanshan first, and then stab you in the eye? ”

"You!"

Qingtang was angry with Yuanshan's words.

But he just blew his beard and stared at Yuanshan, but he couldn't say anything to refute it.

Because what Wonsan said is reasonable.

The Song soldiers in Yumen Pass and Yangguan combined, there were more than 300,000.

More than 300,000 soldiers and horses can do a lot of things in the Western Regions.

If they leave Yumen Pass and Yangguan alone, they will attack the hinterland of the Song Kingdom.

The soldiers and horses of Yumen Pass and Yangguan will inevitably be killed from Shazhou and go to dig their nests behind their backs.

Once the nest is opened, they become homeless and alone.

Even though they were in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, they turned the Great Song Dynasty upside down.

When the time came, the Song soldiers were surrounded on all sides, and they were all cold.

When the time comes, no matter how much Song they attack, it will be useless to grab more gold, silver and jewelry.

"Yumen Pass and Yangguan still have to be fought, only by taking Yumen Pass and Yangguan can we rest assured that we can go to the territory of the Song Kingdom to attack the city and plunder the land."

Horn Luo sighed and said quietly.

In fact, he was not willing to attack Yumen Pass and Yangguan in his heart.

Because it is a very unwise choice to fight offensive and defensive battles with the Song people, especially the Song people, it is a very unwise choice to attack the war by themselves.

The Song people are good at guarding.

The Song people guarded the pass.

Liao and Hei Khan sent millions of soldiers and horses before and after, and they did not gnaw at Yumen Pass and Yangguan.

It can be seen that Yumen Pass and Yangguan are two hard bones.

Although they have 350,000 soldiers and horses, and they are more than a star and a half stronger than the soldiers and horses of Liao and Hei Khan, they may not be able to take Yangguan and Yumen Pass smoothly.

Even if Yangguan and Yumen Pass are taken, I am afraid that they will lose a lot of troops.

Kakuro didn't want to fight, but after listening to Yuanshan's analysis, he understood that he couldn't fight if he didn't fight.

If you don't fight, you will be tantamount to planting a time bomb in the rear that will set off stormy waves at any time.

When the time bomb explodes, everything they have planned before will be in vain.

Therefore, even if Yumen Pass and Yangguan are difficult to bite, they are also big.

Wonsan succeeded in convincing Kakugoro, who decided to attack Yumen Pass and Yangguan.

The other Qingtang generals did not object to the matter.

Seeing that everyone agreed to continue attacking Yumen Pass and Yangguan, Yuan Shan said: "Since we have decided to attack Yangguan and Yumen Pass, let's discuss how to fight and how to divide the troops. ”

The distance between Yangguan and Yumen Pass is not far.

If you want to fight, you naturally have to fight together.

Since they have enough troops, there is no need to just stare at one place.

After Jiao Wuluo heard Yuanshan's words, he muttered: "Xiao Pidi wrote to me that if we send someone to attack Yangguan, he will lead his troops to attack the other side of Yangguan, forming a two-sided attack with us to help us break through Yangguan as soon as possible."

Therefore, the soldiers and horses that go to attack Yangguan should be easier.

There are a huge number of Song soldiers on this side of Yumen Pass, and no one cooperates with us, so we can only attack from one side, and the pressure should be greater. ”

When the people in the big tent of the Chinese army heard this, they all nodded in unison.

Jiao Luo's eyes fell on An Ziluo, and said, "Ziluo, you lead a team of soldiers and horses to attack Yang Pass." ”

An Ziluo was just about to clasp his fists and salute, when he heard Yuanshan suddenly speak, "King Qingtang, let me lead the soldiers and horses of my Yuanshan Department to attack Yangguan." ”

Kakuro frowned slightly.

The reason why he didn't send the soldiers and horses of the Yuanshan Department to attack Yangguan was that he wanted to leave the iron cavalry of the Yuanshan Department to attack Yumen Pass with him.

If the soldiers and horses in the Yumen Pass rushed out to engage them in short combat, the Yuanshan Iron Cavalry would be a big killer.

With the help of the Yuanshan Iron Cavalry, even if he can't break through the Yumen Pass for a while, he can guarantee that he will not be injured by the soldiers and horses rushing out of the Yumen Pass.

Yuan Shan saw that Jiao Luo was a little hesitant, so he asked with a smile: "King Qingtang won't worry about me, right?" If the King of Qingtang is not worried about me, then I can take the soldiers and horses under my command. ”

Jiao Guluo barely squeezed out a smile on his face, and said, "The leader of Yuanshan said that he was smiling. How could I not be at ease with you. I just think that if the iron cavalry of the Yuanshan Department can stay in Yumen Pass, with my army, they should be able to take Yumen Pass faster. ”

Yuan Shan shook his head and smiled, "Then King Qingtang is wrong. My Yuanshan Iron Horse gallops in the Western Regions, but all the people in the Western Regions know the name of my Yuanshan Iron Horse.

Once the people in the Yumen Pass see my Yuanshan Iron Cavalry, they will definitely defend the pass to the death and will not leave the city for a single step.

In this way, if the king of Qingtang wants to gnaw down the Yumen Pass, I am afraid it will be difficult to climb to the sky.

If I ride Yuanshan Iron to Yangguan, it will be different.

I Yuanshan Tie rode to Yangguan, if the seed Shiheng in Yumen Pass wants to teach you a lesson, maybe he will send soldiers and horses out of the city to fight with you.

King Qingtang should be clear.

Once the soldiers and horses of the Song State leave the city, they are far from being the opponents of our tribe's warriors.

The more enemies come out, the greater our hope of victory. ”

When Kakuro heard Wonshan's words, he frowned and remained silent.

Seeing this, Yuan Shan said with a smile: "The reason why I took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Yangguan is also my own considerations. First, it was to compete with the new general Di Qing of the Great Song Dynasty.

I heard some Song people who came to the Yuanshan Department to do business say that Di Qing used to be the commander of the Great Song Iron Cavalry.

I just want to see if the Iron Cavalry he commands is powerful, or if the Iron Cavalry under my command is powerful.

Second, if I go to attack Yangguan, I may have a greater grasp.

Di Qing is a soldier who makes good use of strange tricks, and he also likes to show everyone's bravery.

Previously, in Dali, when he attacked Tengchong Mansion, he led thousands of people to raid the Qi army, opening up the situation for the army of the Great Song Dynasty.

A few days ago in Yangguan, Di Qing led his soldiers and horses to rush out of Yangguan and fought with Xiao head-on outside Yangguan.

If I lead Yuanshan Tieqi to Yangguan, Di Qing may meet Hunting Heart and take the initiative to lead the army to rush out.

When the time comes, I will lead the Yuanshan Iron Cavalry to contain Di Qing's soldiers and horses head-on, and the other soldiers and horses, as well as the soldiers and horses of the Liao soldiers, will be able to take the opportunity to break through Yangguan.

If Di Qing doesn't come out, we can also prevent Di Qing from leading his troops to rush out and disrupt our plans.

It can be said that I led the Yuanshan Iron Cavalry to Yangguan, which is far more effective than me leading the Yuanshan Iron Cavalry to Yumen Pass,"

Yuan Shan finished speaking.

Half of the people in the big tent of the Chinese army nodded in agreement.

Jiao Wuluo's frowning brow also stretched a lot.

Kakugoro discovers that he is once again persuaded by Wonsan.

He found that he was a little inferior to Motoyama and eloquence and wisdom.

can frequently persuade a group of people, which means that the strategy in this person's mind is far beyond the group of people in front of him.

Such a character, if he is alive, is not a good thing for Qingtang.

Yuanshan and Qingtang are adjacent to each other, if he tries his best to plan Qingtang, Qingtang will inevitably bleed.

Jiao Guluo glanced at Yuan Shan deeply, and he felt that after understanding the war against the Great Song Dynasty, it was indispensable to have a fight with Yuan Shan.

Kakuro thought about things in his heart and didn't speak.

Yuan Shan couldn't help but speak: "King Qingtang won't worry about me, right?" If the king of Qingtang thinks that I can't take Yangguan with my Yuanshan troops alone, he can send General An Ziluo 50,000 soldiers and horses and let him go with me to attack Yangguan.

We have 100,000, and Xiao Pi also has 70,000 or 80,000 remnants in his hands, and the number is not small.

If you attack from both sides, you should be able to take Yangguan soon. ”

When Jiao Guluo heard Yuanshan's words, he temporarily put down the thoughts in his heart, and said to Yuanshan with a smile: "Since the leader of Yuanshan took the initiative to ask for help, then I have no reason not to agree." ”

Speaking of this, Jiao Guluo looked at a somewhat old man in the big tent and ordered: "Kemanyi, you take the 50,000 soldiers and horses of your tribe and follow General An and the leader of Yuanshan to Yangguan. ”

The leader of the tribe who had changed to Kemanyi was stunned for a moment when he heard the words of Kakuro, and then bowed in a proper manner, "Obey the order of Zampu......

Jiao Guluo nodded with satisfaction, and said to everyone in the big tent of the Chinese army: "Have a good drink tonight, the leader of Ming Yen Mountain and General An will lead the army to attack Yangguan, and the others will follow my troops to Yumen Pass."

If this battle is won, those people in the Yumen Pass will be allowed by you. ”

As soon as these words came out, a burst of cheers erupted in the big tent of the Chinese army.

For the Qingtang people, population is also one of the spoils of war.

The Song people are good at learning, good at farming, and know some handicrafts.

For the Qingtang people, the Song people were the best slaves.

The strong enemies around the Song State used to frequently break into the Song Kingdom to fight the grass valley, in addition to robbing gold, silver, jewelry and grain, they would also wantonly plunder the population.

The reason why they frequently plundered the population of the Song Kingdom.

It is because, in their eyes, the Song people are the best slaves.

After they brought the Song people back to the clan, they could not only let the Song people work for them, but also sell the Song people in exchange for a large amount of money.

Jiaoguoluo handed over the distribution power of the Song people to them, which was equivalent to handing over a large amount of money to them for distribution, and they were naturally happy.

Amid the cheers of everyone in the big tent of the Chinese army, Jiao Guluo ordered people to serve wine and meat.

Everyone cheered and drank wine and ate meat.

It lasted until the early hours of the next morning.

Then they went back to their tents and went to sleep.

Early the next morning.

After waking up.

The 350,000 soldiers and horses, according to the distribution of Jiaoguo Luo last night, were divided into two groups and went to Yangguan and Yumen Pass respectively.

There were 100,000 and 500 soldiers and horses heading to Yangguan.

Among them, there were 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Yuanshan Division, 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Akrui Division, and 500 soldiers of An Ziluo.

After the 100,000 and 500 soldiers on the road, Yuanshan threw the command of his soldiers and horses to the nine commanders of Yuanshan Iron Cavalry, and he rode his horse to An Ziluo's side, and asked with a smile: "General An thinks, how should we fight this battle?" ”

An Ziluo heard Yuanshan's question, groaned for a while, and said seriously: "It's hard to say...... The situation on the battlefield is changing day by day, and I need to confirm the strength and deployment of troops in Yangguan after arriving at Yangguan before I can decide how to fight. ”

Yuan Shan nodded with a smile and said, "General An fights so cautiously, he deserves to be a rare famous general in Qingtang." ”

An Ziluo laughed dryly, "The leader of Yuanshan praised it falsely. ”

The more An Ziluo came into contact with Yuanshan, the more he felt that Yuanshan was a person who looked big and grinning, but was actually deeply hidden.

For this kind of person, An Ziluo didn't dare to be small, let alone big.

Motoyama laughed, didn't talk to Anzi Luo much, but turned his head sideways to ask Kruid, who had been riding forward with his head down.

"What does the Kruj leader think this battle should be fought?"

Cruy seems to be wandering.

After hearing Yuanshan's words, he was slightly stunned, and an ugly smile squeezed out of his face, "How to fight this battle, the two of you have the final say, I have no opinion." ”

Motoyama laughed, "The Kruy leader is really a wonderful person. ”
