Jizhou, the tent of the four feudatories. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the head sat a slightly chubby middle-aged man, with braided hair and a bearded face that looked yellow and dull, frowning slightly as if he was thinking about something.

This person is the Khan of the Xi tribe.

On either side of the tent are Nali and Jeruzara, another middle-aged man with hair and animal skins, who is the Murowei and the Jiebu Mohelu Ulihan (Mohedu, the title of the chief of the Murowei tribe).

The eyes of the three of them all looked at Hidden Sherang, as if waiting for him to make a final decision.

After a long time, Ji Shelang raised his head and looked around at the three of them, and then asked with a hesitant face: "Yelu Zuoxiang and Right Xianwang mean that the main force of our army will abandon Youzhou and go south to attack Pingzhou, but don't you feel that the risk has increased a lot?" I wonder if the Murowei people agree to do so? ”

When the words fell, I saw Nali smile and said: "The Great Khan's words are wrong, our army is not giving up Youzhou, it is only temporary, and we have been stopped on the side of Lushui for many days, if it is delayed any longer, the Tang army will definitely counterattack!" ”

At this time, I saw Wu Lihan nodded, and said: "Great Khan Mingjian, according to the foreign ministers, this move is a feasible strategy, once Pingzhou is captured, then Yuguan will be under the control of our army, so it is equivalent to the northern part of the Tang Dynasty is within the front of our army, Danzhou, Jizhou plus a Pingzhou, if I can gain a foothold in these three states, then the capture of the northern Tang Dynasty is just around the corner!" ”

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Jeruzara laughed loudly: "Hahaha, the leader of Wuli only said one of them, but did not say the key point, you must not forget, Pingzhou Shicheng has a large number of Tang warships, if it is occupied by me, my army can go down from the waterway, near the southern landing in Youzhou, as far as Cangzhou, Dizhou, and farther is the entire north of the Tang Dynasty!" In this way, wouldn't it be much simpler than directly attacking Youzhou! ”

After hearing this, the two of them suddenly realized, and their faces couldn't help but show a strong look of joy.

"So good! That's great! Hahaha! She Lang stroked his beard and laughed, and his originally small eyebrows looked even narrower as a slit at this time.

"In that case, I wonder if Prime Minister Yelu has a clear plan and when he is scheduled to send troops?" Ullihan then asked.

When Jeruzara heard this, he immediately shouted softly outside the account: "Come, bring in the things of the true form!" ”

......

On the other hand, it took only one day to reach Pingzhou Shicheng from the south of Youzhou from the waterway.

Pingzhou garrison of 30,000, its military strength has far exceeded the scope of a Zhongzhou, and the successive generations of Lu Longjie envoys have almost no one to reduce the strength of Pingzhou, even when An Lushan rebelled, never moved the Pingzhou garrison, for no other reason, only because this is where Yuguan is located, the most important gate in the north of the empire, if this gate is lost, the entire north of the empire will be exposed to the feudal soldiers.

The Pingzhou troops are mainly concentrated in the Liucheng army and the Yuguan garrison, of which the Yuguan garrison is 20,000, the Liucheng army is 10,000, the two armies are each other's horns, and Shicheng is between the two armies, and there is a wet water and goes down into the sea, so although this place is only Zhongzhou, it is actually the most important land and water port in the north of the empire.

Don't miss it.

"General, ahead is the head of Shicheng Port, and we will land here!" Xu Liang said softly.

Li Zhen stood on the bow of the boat, the sea breeze blowing, the red tassels danced, the black cloak hunted and sounded, and his thin body stood still like a sharp sword.

I saw Li Zhen squinting his eyes slightly and looking at the slightly busy port not far away, and asked softly, "How many ports are there in Pingzhou?" ”

Xu Liang immediately replied: "General Hui, in addition to this, there is still a place thirty miles southeast of Jieshi Mountain!" ”

"Jieshi Mountain?" Li Zhen frowned slightly.

"Yes, Jieshi Mountain is located in the west of Yuguan, a hundred miles away, between the Yuguan guard and the Liucheng Army garrison!" Xu Liang replied immediately.

"Bring me the map!" After hearing this, Li Zhen seemed to suddenly think of something, and then walked straight into the cabin.

Xu Liang and the others immediately followed into the cabin, and then the veteran Liu Guan immediately took out the Pingzhou topographic map and spread it on the low case.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Li Zhen's complexion change suddenly, and then pointed to the location of Jieshi Mountain, and said: "General Xu just said that this place is 100 miles away from Yuguan, according to this map, Jieshi Mountain is close to the distance between the Liucheng Army camp and Yuguan, so it means that this is also 100 miles away from the Liucheng Army, so 100 miles away, there is Jieshi Mountain in the middle, and you look at it again!" ”

Saying that, Li Zhen pointed to the north of Jieshi Mountain, and said: "This is Huangzhang Valley, although I don't know what the situation of this Huangzhang Valley is, but in terms of its location close to Jieshi Mountain, this must be a dangerous place by the mountain and the valley, everyone, what do you think?" ”

After hearing this, Gao Biao thought for a while and said: "That is to say, whether it is Yuguan or the Liucheng army, if one place is in danger, the other place will definitely not be able to provide assistance quickly!" ”

"Chisato is right, that's it!" Li Zhen nodded and said: "The two armies are separated by two hundred miles, and there is a valley in the middle, but the danger here is not here, if I am the general of the enemy army, the first thing to do is to occupy Jieshi Mountain, so that the two armies can be easily cut off, and then they will be divided and attacked!" ”

After hearing this, everyone was immediately silent, because what Li Zhen said was true, and people with a little common sense could think of this.

"But ......" I saw Yan Heng hesitantly said with a hesitant face: "But if this is the case, it is impossible for the successive Lu Longjie envoys not to be aware of this, so why do they have to be so armed?" ”

Li Zhen smiled slightly, then looked outside the cabin and said slowly: "This time is different from the past!" ”

Yan Heng still looked puzzled when he heard this, but he only heard Gao Yu on the side speak: "Yes, in the past, the enemy army was outside the pass, so the area around Jieshi Mountain is equivalent to a natural barrier, plus Yuguan and Liucheng Army, it is equivalent to three barriers, but now, due to a large number of internal transfers of the Lulong border garrison, the enemy army abandoned Yuguan and crossed Yanshan to Jizhou, so it means that the enemy army is likely to come from Jizhou, not Yuguan!" ”

"Therefore, this original natural barrier cannot stop the enemy army, but it has become an obstacle to our army, so it is indeed a great disaster!"

After hearing this, Yan Hengfang suddenly realized that now the enemy army has occupied Danzhou and Jizhou, and Pingzhou is already in an isolated and helpless place, if the enemy army attacks Pingzhou from Jizhou, then Pingzhou will be lost, and then Yuguan will be lost, then the enemy can send a large number of reinforcements from Yuguan to enter, after all, Yuguan is much closer to Yanshan, and it is much easier!

Everyone couldn't help but gasp, and at the same time, they all looked at Li Zhen.

And Li Zhen thought about it slightly, and immediately said: "Pass my general's order, our army will land in the southeast of Jieshi Mountain!" ”
