Chapter 521: Avoid its sharpness

After handing over the affairs of Lao County to Deng Qiang and Liang Cheng, Li Xin immediately set off for Liao Chuan's headquarters. After this period of attacking everywhere, in the entire Dai County, except for the northernmost and southern counties, the other old county sites, especially those places where the people lived around Luoshui, have been taken.

Except for some soldiers and horses guarding in some places on both sides of Luoshui to ensure smooth communication with the rear, basically, all the soldiers and horses have been gathered back.

When Li Xin arrived at the camp of Liaochuan, he had 20,000 horses in his hands, and the rest were left in Mayi and Laoxian.

At this time, Liao Chuan had already received Li Xin's order and led the army to gather at the intersection of Qiyishui and Luoshui.

Qiyi Water is the Huliu River of later generations, which originates in the valley in the west of Pingshu County, and then passes through Pingshu County, Dai County, Dangcheng County, and finally joins the Zheng of Luoshui in the territory of Sanggan County

And the roads that go south to Dai County and Pingshu County also travel along this Qiyi water. When Li Xin arrived at the camp of Liao Chuan, he had already stayed here for a while.

"Your Highness, everything is ready, and now we are waiting for your order!" After Li Xin arrived, he immediately convened a group of generals to discuss the matter, and Liao Chuan handed over the order.

"Very well, in that case, let's pull out the camp! Order the army to go south, advance along the Qiyi River, and when the time comes, we will divide the troops into two routes. Liao Chuan, give you 10,000 troops to attack the county seat of Dangcheng, and the rest of the men and horses will be led by the king himself to attack the county seat of Daixian! Everything will be done as I told you before, be sure to care, don't act impulsively~ things! Li Xin saw that the generals were already gearing up, so he ordered.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the last general and others will never dare to forget your explanation!" Liao Chuan and the others hurriedly bowed in response.

Not long after the order was delivered, the 20,000-strong army began to move. Since the road to Daixian and the road to Dangcheng County are actually the same, the army acted together at the beginning.

After leaving the valley of Qiyishui, the two armies separated. Liao Chuan went directly to attack the county seat of Dangcheng, which was not far away, while Li Xin continued to go south and went to attack Daixian.

In the Western Han Dynasty, the county was located in Sanggan County, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was moved to Gaoliu County. By the time of Cao Wei, Sanggan County was omitted, so there are only four county seats left in today's Dai County.

These four county seats are Pingshu County in the west, Dangcheng County in the east, Dai County in the middle and Guangchang County in the south. Among the four counties, Dai County is the current county seat.

Moreover, because it is further south, it is the most important northern exit of the Flying Fox, so the importance of Dai County should be regarded as the most important in the entire Dai County.

As long as Dai County is taken, it is equivalent to sealing the exit of the Flying Fox. In that case, it would definitely be a huge blow to the Murong Ping army that was rushing to the south.

Flying Fox is an ancient road located on the Taihang Mountain, its southern end is located in Guangchang County, and the north entrance is located in the south of Dai County.

Because the place where the Flying Fox Pass is located, the mountain is high and steep, and there is only a narrow passage in the middle for the school to get out of the school, so once the Flying Fox Pass is choked, basically there is no way for people who come to the south to pass through this road again.

Most of the Yan troops in Dai County are now cowering in the county seat of Dai County and the mouth of the Flying Fox. After all, they also knew that if the Flying Fox mouth was lost, they were afraid that their people would have no way to ask for help.

After the Dai Jun Yan army received that Li Xin led the army south to attack Dai County, with the intention of capturing the Flying Fox Mountain, they were so frightened that they hurriedly sent several batches of messengers to the south to report to Murong Ping, hoping that they would speed up their northward journey.

When Li Xin rushed to Dai County, Murong Ping had just led the army to Changshan Pass. As soon as they heard that the envoy from the north was coming, they hurriedly called them in.

"What's going on in the north? Dai County and other places are still in our hands? Murong Ping asked anxiously.

"Back to the king, Dai County is still in our hands, not only Dai County, but also Dangcheng and Pingshu County, and there has never been a loss. However, now Li Xinqin led a large army to the south, killed outside Dai County, and was storming Dangcheng County and Dai County. The general was afraid that the city would be lost, especially the Flying Fox Pass could not be occupied by the Tang army, so he sent someone to report the news. Please ask the king to quickly raise the army to the north to rescue, and if it is late, there will be changes, and the land of Daijun may no longer be owned by my Dayan! ”

"Hmph, Li Xinding heard that this king led a large army to kill, so he was in a hurry to capture Daixian and other places, and then guard the Flying Fox, so that our army could not go north to rescue. Now that we know his plan, how can we let it succeed? After passing the order, the whole army accelerated its march and rushed to the outside of Dai County as soon as possible to fight to the death with the Tang army! When Murong Ping heard this, he couldn't help but snort coldly and said.

The north entrance of the Flying Fox is called the Flying Fox Pass, and its south entrance is located in the northwest side of Guangchang County not far from the Lingqiu Pass. At this time, Changshan Pass, where Murong Ping was located, was still in the southern mountains of Guangchang County, and there were still dozens of miles away from Guangchang County, not to mention rushing to Dai County.

But there is no way, Murong Ping knows the importance of Dai County, especially the Flying Fox. Therefore, it can only be ordered to rush to the county seat without stopping. The road was not easy to walk, but if you continue to rush at this time, the fatigue of the army can be imagined.

The distance from Changshan Pass to Dai County is about 200 miles, and when Murong Ping is finally about to leave the mountain, Li Xin has already attacked Dai County for two months.

But even if it was fought for two or three times in a row, Dai County was also a city and county, and the two cities were still in the hands of the Yan army.

When the enemy is blindly defensive, it is really not easy to break through the city.

However, Li Xin didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

"Oh? Murong Ping is already rushing here? Well, give the order, and the army will immediately withdraw and return the way it came! After hearing the news of the scout's return, Li Xindang gave up the siege and withdrew his troops directly.

Inside the city, General Yan Guopingbei and Murong Ni, Duke of Wuqiang, couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when they saw the Tang army outside the city retreating in turn. After all, although the offensive of the Tang Army in the past three years was not particularly fierce, he always had little confidence when facing Li Xin.

"General, Lord Taifu sent someone to deliver the message quickly, it has already left the Flying Fox Mouth, and he will rush to the city immediately!" Just when Murong Ni was a little relaxed, someone came to report.

"Oh? The King of Shangyong has arrived? Great, we're finally safe! Get out of town to meet them! I didn't quite understand why Tang Jun suddenly withdrew from him before, but at this moment, he suddenly realized, and his heart was finally completely relaxed.

On Murong Ping's side, he had just come out of the Flying Fox Pass and heard the latest situation of the battle in the north.

After hearing that Li Xin had just withdrawn from the city, a trace of disdain immediately flashed in his eyes, and he said to the people beside him: "How powerful Li Hantang is, every time he fights, he wins and returns, but now when he hears the arrival of this king, he runs away with his tail between his legs!" How can such a person compete with our Dayan? ”

When the generals next to him heard this, they all laughed and echoed on the side. Soon, Murong Ping led the army towards the county seat of Daixian, and it didn't take long for him to enter Chengzheng under the welcome of Murong Ni and others

"Immediately send someone to find out the movements of the Tang army, especially Li Xin, whether he is really in the army Zheng is still there, and repair the cluster of cities immediately, so as not to be taken advantage of by the enemy next time. Another one, send someone to find He Laitou, this time against the Tang Army, he also has to contribute! As soon as he entered the county government and sat down, Murong Ping ordered.

"Yes, the last general will arrange someone to do it immediately! However, now that Li Xin's army has retreated north, should we take advantage of the victory to pursue it? General Long Xiang Li Hong immediately asked.

"Our army has come from afar, and now is the time to be tired. Besides, I don't know if Li Xin's withdrawal this time was a suspicious formation to lure us into pursuit, so let's stop for the time being and wait until Ran Qi is ready! In short, this time the king is here, and he will definitely drive the Tang army back to Guannai! After thinking about it for a while, Murong Ping categorically rejected the proposal.

When the generals heard this, they all felt that it made sense, and there were no more. And just as they were discussing, Li Xin at this time had already led the army to join Liao Chuan, and the army merged into one and withdrew north along the Qiyi River.

"Your Highness, Murong Ping's army has just arrived, and now is the time when morale is strong~ prosperous, and the number of people far exceeds ours, if you avoid its sharpness, it is the time! It's just that I'm afraid that Murong Ping will be too cautious and won't dare to chase after him! On the way back, Liao Chuan couldn't help asking.

"Hehe, the art of war has clouds, avoid its sharpness, and hit its laziness! Murong Ping hadn't directly fought with me before, so he must have been cautious at the beginning. But if we retreat first at this time, we will be arrogant, and after a little time, he will inevitably despise us. When the time comes, he will naturally catch up, so let's wait quietly! Li Xin couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

"Your Highness's words are reasonable! This is a rare opportunity! If Murong Ping's army can be wiped out, it will definitely be a strong shock to the current Yan Kingdom. Especially for the overall situation of us and Huan Wen joining forces to attack Yan, I am afraid it will play a huge role! Liao Chuan nodded and agreed.

"Being able to do it in one battle is naturally the best result, after all, we have more than one enemy of Yan Country here! We can't be like Huan Wen, we can't win a battle and then come back to fight, this kind of attrition tactic, we can't fight! Li Xin looked into the distance and said slowly.
