Chapter 602: Luo Cheng's Madness (Fourth Update!) )
Luo Cheng only carried the light cavalry Qin King, so the speed was extremely fast all the way.
His cavalry, in particular, carried no baggage, but two horses, each with a sheepskin bag of meat floss and two bags of fried rice, and some fine fodder for the horses to eat, and then every night when passing through the city along the way, he fetched fodder from the city to feed the horses, and the people rested under the city.
There was no need to set up camp, no baggage, and two horses could be rotated, so that they could march at a speed of 200 miles every day.
Pass through Yuguan and go to Zhuo County.
When he arrived at the city of Zhuo County, he learned that Yin Xue Shixiong of Fanyang Mansion had led 8,000 troops south to join Li Jing, the pacification envoy of Hebei, and at this time, there were only 4,000 infantry left in the original Zhuo County, which had been renamed Fanyang Mansion, and was preparing to escort the baggage south.
It didn't matter if Luo Cheng didn't see Xue Shixiong, after Fan Yang quickly replenished and rested, he decided to continue westward.
"Westward? Isn't it south? ”
"Aren't we going to Jingcheng, aren't we going to Taiyuan to meet Xue Shuai, Li Shuai, and their Qinwang army?"
"We won't go to Taiyuan." Luo Cheng shook his head.
"Then are we going to fly away?"
Liucheng Taishou Qu Tutong worried, "But now the forty-one cities of Yanmen, the thirty-nine cities have fallen, and the passage on the other side of Feigucheng, Lingqiu City, has also fallen into the hands of the Turks. ”
Luo Cheng nodded.
"That's true, so I don't plan to go to Jingcheng or Feigucheng, we will go to the military capital, and the army will go to the pass, along the Sanggan River to Mayi."
"To Mayi? Could it be that the marshal wants to go around the back of the Turks? ”
Many generals were amazed by Luo Cheng's bold plan, but they only had 12,000 horsemen, and even if they added the 8,000 horsemen of the Khitan and Xi people, it was only 20,000.
20,000 horsemen went around the back of the Turks, and for the 300,000 horsemen, I am afraid that there is not much of a threat.
"Dashuai, the Turks have now completely occupied the two counties of Yanmen and Mayi, and I want to remind Dashuai that Xicheng is now in the hands of the Turks." Duan Dadao, the deputy envoy of the festival.
Xicheng Pass is the most important dangerous pass connecting Mayi and Yanmen, and even Xicheng Pass is the real Yanmen Pass, and now the Yanmen where the emperor is besieged is actually just Yanmen County.
The West Pass is very dangerous, guarding a narrow valley passage.
The Turks occupy the Xicheng Pass, and even if Luo Cheng goes around to Mayi, he can have a Xicheng Pass that cannot be opened by a husband and ten thousand people, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to attack or threaten the Turks from behind.
In case they are blocked by the Xicheng Pass at that time, then they will run in vain.
Luo Cheng smiled at Duan Da.
This Grandma Duan, although she is old and the emperor's confidant, is far from using soldiers to fight, and even Zhang Jincheng can't figure it out, how can she understand his plan.
"Bring me the map."
The sheepskin map was spread out, and Luo Cheng's finger first clicked on Jicheng, where they were now, and then moved northwest, along the Sanggan River out of Zhuo County to reach the most important pass, Jundu Pass.
Jundu Pass, also known as Jimen Pass, later generations also called Juyong Pass.
This is an important passage connecting Hedong and Saibei.
After leaving the capital of the army, along the Huailai Basin, all the way to the northwest, to the side of Zhangjiakou in later generations, and then to the southwest, along the inner line of the Great Wall, until arriving in Yunnei.
This is the Datong of later generations, when Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was surrounded by the Huns in Baishan Mountain, which was here. It has always been an important town in the north, and the Northern Wei Dynasty, which was established by the Xianbei people, once established its capital here.
"Cross the Great Wall from Yunnei, all the way north, and cross the begging anchor."
Duan Da followed Luo Cheng's finger route and watched it for a long time, and the more he looked, the more surprised he became.
"Could it be that the handsome man doesn't go to Yanmen, but wants to get out of the stopper?"
However, appeasement made Feng Lun see Luo Cheng's intentions, "Isn't the marshal going to encircle Wei to save Zhao and attack the Khan Court of the Turks?" ”
The Khan court of the Turks had been in Mobei before, but after the surrender of the Qimin Khan, it was placed in Monan by the Sui Dynasty, so since then, the Khan court has been set up in the south of Yinshan in the south of Monan.
Although after Shibi Khan succeeded to the throne, the Eastern Turks became stronger and stronger, and Shibi would also patrol Mobei every year, but the Khan's court was still in Monan.
Its location is on the edge of the white road at the foot of the Yin Mountain in the south of the desert, where in the Northern Wei Dynasty, it was one of the six towns of Wuchuan Town. In later generations, this is Hohhot.
A fertile land in the south of the desert, abundant water and grass, herds of cattle and sheep, and a good place for cattle and sheep to see when the wind blows the grass.
Although the Hetao in the west has long belonged to the Sui Dynasty, the Mayi in the south is also from the Sui Dynasty.
The land of Monan outside the Great Wall of Kemayi is the Turks.
Even the Turks set up the Khan's court here.
Luo Cheng's fingers were a little heavier in the position of the Turkic Khan's court.
"Here, this is the Turkic Khan's Court, wasn't this Khan Court built by my Great Sui Army and people for the Qimin Khan, Qimin and Shibi have always lived in the territory where our Great Sui settled them, and lived in the city built by our Great Sui for them, but now they betrayed the Great Sui and plotted to rob the Holy Driver?"
"Such things must not be tolerated, and a lesson must be taught sternly."
Duan Da interrupted Luo Cheng, "But now that Your Majesty is trapped in Yanmen and is in danger, shouldn't we rush to Yanmen?" ”
Luo Cheng snorted.
"For example, today's soldiers and horses are going to Yanmen Qinwang, such as the soldiers of Taiyuan, such as the soldiers of Hebei, such as the soldiers of Fanyang, and the soldiers of Xijing and Dongdu are also coming, whether our 20,000 people go or not, it will not change much, but if we go to the Turkic Khanate, it will be completely different."
"Now the Turkic Khan court in Mo Nan is empty, Shi Bi led 300,000 horsemen to the south, there are no more people in Mo Nan, most of the young and strong men have gone south, and now only some people are left behind, more are old people, women and children, and countless cattle and sheep. Therefore, when our 20,000 people passed, we were able to copy Shibi's hometown in one fell swoop, and then we could not only teach Shibi a hard lesson, but also force Shibi to retreat from Yanmen. ”
Liucheng County Taishou Qu Tutong nodded.
This veteran, who has never been close to Luo Cheng in the counties outside the Guan, spoke, "I agree with Luo Shuai's plan, it is better to go to Duguan and attack the Monan Khan Court than to go to Taiyuan." ”
Duan Da was still there hesitating.
And Qin Qiong, Luo Cunxiao, Xue Wanche, Cheng Yanjin, and Pei Xingyan were all horsemen, but they finally couldn't hold back their excitement.
"Damn, let them dare to go south to encircle Yanmen, this time we will raid his lair and destroy his Khan Court."
Cheng Yanjin laughed and said, "When Luo Shuai copied the battle of Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo, to capture Gaoyuan, my old Cheng didn't catch up, and this time I was finally able to catch up with the Khan court of the Turks, and I was happy." At that time, I will definitely catch a few daughters of the Turkic Khan to make the bed and fold the quilt, and see what is different from the Goguryeo concubines. ”
All the generals were bold and echoed Luo Cheng's adventurous plan.
Although Duan Da, Li Baiyao, and Feng Lun hesitated, they couldn't stand the courage of Luo Cheng and the generals, and finally had to smile helplessly.
