The lord can rest assured. There is no danger in going to Chang'an. Jia Xu said confidently.

The lord's 600,000 army was stationed at Hangu Pass, and he could attack Chang'an in an instant. Even if Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was unwilling to concede, he would never dare to harm the envoys sent by the lord. Liu Bowen said.

All right....

Even Liu Bowen said this, and Lu Bu also had some confidence: I will let Yuanba go with you. If Ma Chao Pound wants to embarrass you, he can protect you.

Thank you.

With Li Yuanba to the road, Jia Xu will no longer have to worry, and the negotiations will definitely be successful.

..............................

Bai Qi's 200,000 troops took Gan Ning's warship and headed for Liyang.

Originally, warships were not enough.

It just so happened that Qi Jiguang's Jingjiao Navy came to help, and there were hundreds of more steam engine fighting ships and building ships, which were responsible for transporting Bai Qi's army together with Gan Ning's Qingxu Navy.

Go to Ha Duong Jin, south of Hanoi-gun.

Report....

A small steam-engine boat came by: fifteen miles ahead, a large number of enemy ships were found.

How many? Gan Ning asked.

Connecting the horizon, you can't count them all...

Let's find out.

Promise.

The steam-engine boat departed quickly.

Behind Gan Ning stood Qi Jiguang and Qin Qiong.

They all looked at Gan Ning.

Bai Qi asked: General Gan, hasn't the naval army of Hanoi County been wiped out yet?

I'm ashamed to say it. Gan Ning turned around and returned to the cabin and said: Xiahou Ba, the naval governor of Hanoi County, is the second son of Xiahou Yuan. This boy is as timid as a mouse, and his head is shrunk like a turtle. When he first started fighting me, he was still in high spirits to fight me. However, after being taught a lesson by our artillery, they immediately retreated to Hanoi County.

Everyone took their seats.

Bai Qi asked: Why didn't the general directly occupy Hanoi County?

It has long been occupied by me.... Gan Ning pointed to the map behind him and said: Hanoi County is adjacent to the Yellow River, and Xiahou Ba escaped while we attacked Hanoi County. Since then, it has been active in the area from Heyangjin to Liyang. Every time I found him, he immediately fled.

Hebei's Zhangjaw Juyi Gao Ran and others all provided him with grain and grass. It has persisted for so long, and it has not been completely wiped out.

Qin Qiongdao: It's okay. General Gan's warship had a steam engine and was extremely fast. I'm sure I'll be able to catch up with him.

Well.

Gan Ning said: I'll send you to Hebei first, and then encircle and suppress.

..............

There is a steam engine to drive the warship, and the speed is faster than expected.

Xiahouba's tens of thousands of sailors, when they learned that Gan Ning was coming, were so frightened that they ran away.

Gan Ning did not give the order to pursue, and quickly moved towards Liyang.

Arrive at your destination quickly.

The 200,000 troops of Bai Qi disembarked.

Bai Qidao: Thank you, General Gan.

Gan Ning said: Some time ago, General Li Jing conquered Yecheng and led hundreds of thousands of Hebei troops to attack. Now all the troops in Hebei are around Yecheng. General Bai could go there directly and relieve the siege of General Li Jing.

Thank you very much.

Bai Qi led his troops and advanced towards Yecheng in Wei County.

Gan Ning also returned to Hanoi and prepared to encircle and suppress Xiahouba.

this day.

Bai Qi's 200,000 troops arrived at the southern outskirts of Yecheng.

After Zhang Jaw and the others learned about it, they were worried about being attacked by Bai Qi and Li Jing, and retreated to Julu to garrison.

General Bai Qi, thank you for the rescue. Li Jing personally led a strong team to meet Bai Qi.

It's all as it should be.

Bai Qi took Li Jing into the camp tent and said: Before I came, I knew about the war in Hebei. Zhang Jaw Gao, Ju Yi Gao Gan and others, gathered hundreds of thousands of troops, and pursued and intercepted General Li. General Li held out for several months with only 150,000 troops, which is really admirable.

Ashamed.

Li Jing said with a wry smile: I have been fighting in Jizhou for several months. Eliminated a part of the enemy army. But I also lost a lot. If it hadn't been for the occupation of Yecheng some time ago, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to hold on now.

General Lee was reassured. Now I have 200,000 elites to help fight, and it will be effortless to face open jaws. Bai Qi took out a map, put it in front of Li Jing, and said: We have to find a way to lure Zhang Jaw Gao Ran and the others to kill them. In this way, it will be easier to occupy Hebei again. If we let the hundreds of thousands of troops flee and garrison the two prefectures, it will be much more difficult for us to occupy Hebei.

What General Bai said is extreme....

Li Jing and Bai Qi's generals all gathered around and discussed countermeasures together.

It is not easy to lure hundreds of thousands of troops with open jaws and high views. It takes careful planning and extraordinary means.

Bai Qi suggested: Yecheng is the capital of Hebei, and it is very important for Zhang Jaw Gaolan. We might as well use Yecheng as bait to lure open jaws to attack.

What does General White mean?

All the soldiers and horses in Yecheng were withdrawn and went to Bingzhou with me.

I see....

Li Jing nodded with a slight smile and said: You want to pretend to attack Bingzhou. After Zhang Jaw's troops occupy Yecheng, kill him again and trap him in Yecheng?

Well. and lay a heavy ambush in Yecheng. The inside should be combined with the outside. Bai Qi said.

Good idea!

Li Jing immediately agreed to Bai Qi's strategy.

That same evening.

Li Jing left 5,000 elites and deployed them all over Yecheng.

He personally led more than 40,000 soldiers and horses to evacuate Yecheng. With the Bai Qijun in the southern suburbs, he swaggered to Huguan in Bingzhou. The march with torches at night was very dazzling, attracting countless enemy spies.

After deliberation, the jaw and the others were discussed.

I think so.

Bai Qi Li Jing will go to a sneak attack and annex the state. Because the main force of Hebei is in Julu in Jizhou. And the state is already empty.

In order not to fall into the state.

Zhang Jaw Gao was ready to follow Bai Qi, and copied Bai Qi's back road. But before that, they had to capture Yecheng, the capital of Jizhou. It was hundreds of thousands of Hebei troops who arrived in Yecheng at night.

After entering the city, they were ambushed.

Due to the small number of ambush troops, Zhang Jaw Gaolan only lost a few thousand cavalry.

The next day, at noon.

Bai Qi and Li Jing went and returned, surrounding Yecheng.

General Bai Qi, your plan has succeeded. Li Jing said with a smile: The hundreds of thousands of troops in Hebei are all in Yecheng and the northern suburbs. Our 240,000 troops arrived at Yecheng, although they did not conquer Yecheng. But if he wants to escape, it is no longer possible.

Well.

Bai Qidao: We must not be careless. Beware of jumping over the wall with open jaws and jumping over the wall to fight us.

The decisive battle is good. One battle is victory. Li Jing had long understood that among the 200,000 troops brought by Bai Qi, there were 40,000 iron horsemen! The combat effectiveness of these 40,000 iron horsemen is incredible. It was enough to wipe out two or three hundred thousand Hebei troops.

Plus the rest of the more than 200,000 soldiers. Li Jing is confident that he can win this battle.

...............

As expected.

Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran knew that they had been tricked and could not escape the fate of being wiped out. Determined to fight a decisive battle with Bai Qi, he gathered 340,000 Hebei troops and lined up in the western suburbs of Yecheng.
