Vertical day.

Jia Xu told Ma Chao about Lu Bu's decision.

Ma Chao was very excited.

I was also grateful to Lu Bu, but this emotion was pressed in my heart and I didn't say it.

He and Pang De went to Longshan and took Cao Cao's body with them.

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

A month later.

The renovation project in Luoyang is officially on the right track.

Han Xin, Lu Xun, Xiang Yu and others marched west along Hangu Pass, first occupying Chang'an and its surroundings. Dispatch 200,000 troops to take over the ten counties of Xiliang with lightning speed.

But.

The Qianghu in the Western Liang, the Xiongnu in the north, and the Dayue Empire in the south were all attacked.

Because during the reign of Cao Cao, Xiliang was lost. Cao Cao signed an agreement with the foreign races, and the military and political affairs of Xiliang were controlled by Cao Cao, and the civil affairs were controlled by the foreign races, and the grain grown was owned by the foreign races.

After Liu Bei received Xiliang, there was no way to change this.

After the arrival of Lu Xun and Han Xin's army, they took over in an all-round way, and then fought with more than 200,000 foreign soldiers and horses, and the battle was fierce. And all different races are in the same spirit, and they are still increasing their troops.

On the occasion of the Great War.

The north is not peaceful either.

Gongsun Du, Tuoba Xianbei, Eastern Xianbei, Goguryeo, and Wuhuan gathered 350,000 foot cavalry and plundered south. collided with Bai Qi and Li Jing's 150,000 troops.

It is necessary to mention the following.

The 350,000 foot cavalry of all foreign races, except for the 50,000 foot army, are attacking Yanmen Pass and Taiyuan. The rest are all iron horses, with 300,000 yuan, some of them take Jixian in Youzhou, and some of them go to Yecheng in Jizhou.

This is the first time in many years that such a big momentum has been made.

Bai Qi, Li Jing, and Qin Qiong's military strength in Hebei is less than 250,000. and to guard three hundred thousand captives. In the face of the alien army that is as powerful as a tiger and wolf, although the battle has not started, it is already in a situation of abuse.

None.

Bai Qi's 100,000 troops were the first to arrive.

After occupying Jixian County, he wrote more than 100 documents, ready to be sent to all counties and counties in Youzhou, to the county orders, county guards, and families in various places, indicating the intention of surrendering.

However, before the paperwork could be sent out in a hurry, news of an alien invasion was received.

"General, according to the Shadow Report, there are 350,000 alien races who have invaded Hebei this time. Among them, 50,000 infantry troops attacked Yanmen Pass. 100,000 iron cavalry attacked Jixian. 200,000 iron horsemen went to Yecheng in Jizhou. The last general thinks that the enemy is too strong for us to be defeated. Shan Xiongxin said.

Bai Qi glanced at the map, and then looked at the generals in the hall: "The alien race is really hateful!" ”

"They dare to take advantage of the fire to loot Hebei, which we have already owned. Is it tolerable or intolerable? Fight with them! Pei Yuanqing roared.

"Please give the general the order to start a war with Wuhuan and Goguryeo!" Cheng Yanjin also said.

"Calm down, generals." Bai Qi pointed to the map and said, "Let's look at the formation of the alien race and the Gongsun Du army. With 350,000 cavalry, the military strength is more than three times ours. And 300,000 of them are iron horsemen. Instead of field, we do not have an advantage. ”

"In that case, the general is preparing to hold on to Jixian County?" Shan Xiongxin asked.

"Hmm."

Bai nodded from the beginning, then frowned and said, "But..." ”

"We have no reinforcements, so we can't hold on blindly, otherwise when the city is broken, we will be crushed by iron hooves. My soldiers divided into two routes, all the way around Gaoliu City, one hundred and fifty miles away. The rest are stationed in Jixian County. When it really comes to the point, it may work wonders. ”

"The general is wise...."

Everyone said.

"No, no, no...." Bai Qi immediately changed his words: "You can't go to Gaoliu City." ”

"Uh..." The crowd was a little embarrassed.

Cheng Yanjin asked, "Why can't you go to Gaoliu City?" ”

Bai Qi said: "Let's change our thinking." Let's think about it, although there are many foreign troops, he can't deploy them properly. Of these, 50,000 went to Yanmen Pass. There is General Li Jing stationed there, and he will definitely be able to block it. There are 200,000 iron cavalry going to Yecheng, and the defenders of Yecheng are only 60,000 or 70,000, which are garrisoned by General Qin Qiong, which is an abusive situation. And we, facing 100,000 iron horsemen. Although we are also in a bad situation, relatively speaking, we are more likely to win than the two states are more likely to win. And only if we win, can we change the situation of the entire battle in Hebei. Therefore, we must strive to fight and never back down! ”

"Think about it. If we are surrounded and Qin Qiong is surrounded again, even if Li Jing can win, there are not many soldiers and horses in his hands, what is the use? ”

"yes..." Everyone suddenly realized.

Cheng Yanjin grinned and said, "The last general understands." Only when we defeat the 100,000 iron horsemen in front of us can we win this battle. ”

"Hmm...."

Bai Qi stared at the map with a pensive look on his face.

Shan Xiongxin, Pei Yuanqing, and Cheng Yanjin also found a place to sit down and wait for Bai Qi's decision.

"The enemy army has come from afar, and there is not enough food and grass, so they are in a hurry to fight quickly. If we, Qin Qiong and Li Jing can hold on for more than a month, they will have to retreat.... Hey, no. The families of Hebei are looking forward to their coming, and they will definitely provide them with food. Bai Qi muttered a few words to himself.

He turned around and said, "The enemy has too many cavalry, and we can't eat it in one go." They must be divided into two parts. Generals, who is willing to lead an army to lure the enemy? Attract some enemy troops into the trap I have set? ”

"General Bai, I have something to say..." Pei Yuanqing said.

"General Pei, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Pei Yuanqing said: "Our 100,000 troops in Jixian County are the main force in the entire Hebei territory, with 40,000 iron cavalry and 10,000 chariots. If you really want to fight, you don't necessarily lose to another race. It's better to find a place and fight them to the death. ”

"Well, the last general thinks that our war cavalry is not lost to other races." Cheng Yanjin also said: "General, let's have a field battle with the alien race to see how strong they are." And then again.... ”

"Nope."

Bai Qi interrupted Cheng Yanjin's words: "There is no such way to fight a hard battle. The enemy is strong and we are weak, and once our army is defeated or in a defeated position, there is no room for redemption. Generals should remember that they must be in control of the situation at all times. If you can't control the overall situation, you have to keep a hand. Even at the last moment, you can't put down the old money. ”

"Especially now, we can't afford to lose..."

"What does the general think?" Shan Xiongxin asked.

Bai Qi said: "Jixian City has a thick wall, leaving 20,000 infantry troops and holding on for ten days, there should be no problem." The remaining 80,000 riders were all out of the city. The infantry ambushed in Qiyang Mountain.... ”

Bai Qi pointed to the map and said, "Qiyang Mountain is the largest mountain in the northern part of Youzhou. The mountain is not steep and not dangerous, but .... It limits the speed of the enemy's cavalry, and we can make good use of it. General Pei, still led 10,000 cavalry, went to lure the enemy cavalry, and annihilated them at Qiyang Mountain. What do you think? ”

"The last will obey."

Pei Yuanqing got up and answered.
