Youzhou Prefecture, Jicheng.

In the main hall of the state capital, Su Zhe was drinking wine and closing his eyes.

The generals in the hall couldn't calm down, some stared at the map and kept thinking, some were discussing in private, and some were rubbing their fists excitedly.

Half a month ago, Su Zhe, the son of the Great Wei Dynasty, officially swore an oath, led 100,000 cavalry and 100,000 foot cavalry, set off from Luoyang, and drove to Youzhou.

All the important ministers knew that the target of Su Zhe's Northern Expedition was the Xianbei people on the grassland outside the Saiwai.

As for how to exterminate the Xianbei people, everyone has studied countless times in the Golden Palace in Luoyang, and has drawn up a set of feasible strategies.

If you want to kill the Xianbei people, you must first kill into the grassland, and if you want to kill the grassland, you must first cross the first line of the Yanshan mountain range.

Once the Yanshan Mountains were crossed, the Wei army would go straight to the three cities of Danhan Mountain, the surrendered city and the Baitan City, and after capturing these three cities, the Xianbei people lost their foothold in Monan, and could only flee to Longcheng, the last stronghold in Mobei.

At that time, Su Zhe will lead the iron cavalry through the vast grassland, go straight to Longcheng, and completely destroy the Xianbei people.

According to the current situation, the Wei army had three directions of advance, namely, to attack the surrendered city from the north of Bingzhou, to capture the Khanting of Danhan Mountain from the area of Daijun in the west of Youzhou, or to go north from Liaoxi County in the east of Youzhou to capture Baitan City.

There are pros and cons to marching from these three routes.

Su Zhe finally made a decision, and the army went north, directly took the Khan Court of Danhan Mountain, took Tuoba Liwei's lair, and gave the Xianbei people a central flower.

Su Zhe expected that as long as Danhan Mountain was captured, the Xianbei people's defense line would be broken through in the middle, and the surrendered cities and Baitan City on both wings would be destroyed without a fight.

However, Su Zhe's decision is also quite difficult.

Danhan Mountain is where Tuoba Liwei's Khan's Court is located, where nearly 100,000 Xianbei iron horsemen gathered, and there are several cities in the south to choke the Yanshan Pass, guarding the Khan's Court of Danhan Mountain.

Once Su Zhe's army revealed its intention to attack Danhan Mountain, Tuoba Liwei could calmly dispatch troops and horses to resist head-on, and the Wei army's attack would be difficult.

Therefore, under Pang Tong's advice, Su Zhe made a wonderful plan to attack the west.

He first ordered Zhang Liao to direct and act in Liaodong County, pretending that the Goguryeo people were invading southward, giving him the excuse to send troops to fight.

Then, Su Zhe ordered Wen Chou, Huang Zhong and several other generals to go to Liaodong under his banner and let out a rumor to destroy Goguryeo.

Su Zhe expected that Sima Yi would think that he had seen through his plan and misled Tuoba Liwei, so that Tuoba Liwei thought that his real goal was to raid Baitan City, so as to divert the tiger from the mountain, and let Tuoba Liwei transfer all the Xianbei army, the main force of Danhan Mountain, to Baitan City.

At that time, Su Zhe will lead the remaining soldiers and horses of Jicheng, go out of Daijun in the starry night, go straight to the Khan Court of Danhan Mountain, and destroy the capital of the Xianbei people in one fell swoop.

The key to this plan to divert the tiger from the mountain lies in whether Sima Yi will "see through" his strategy, and whether Tuoba Liwei will lead the army to Baitancheng to "ambush" him.

Now, Yan Liang and Huang Zhong's army to lure the enemy has set off, and Hu Che'er has also been sent out, and all Su Zhe has to do now is to wait for Hu Che'er's news.

Woo~~

A gust of wind whistled through the hall, and a figure shot out of the hall like a cannonball, stopping in front of Su Zhe.

It's Hu Che'er.

In the lobby, there was a silence for a moment, and all the generals were excited and gathered together.

"Hu Che'er, has Tuoba Liwei been recruited?" Su Zhe opened his eyes and asked with a smile.

Hu Che'er gasped, and said excitedly: "Back to Your Majesty, Tuoba Liwei has been tricked by the Hu Dog, and a few days ago, he led 100,000 main iron horsemen to the east and went straight to Baitan City." ”

The lobby exploded when it was neutral, and the generals were all ecstatic.

The corners of Su Zhe's mouth also raised a sarcastic sneer.

"Your Majesty, Tuoba Liwei has already been tricked, what are we waiting for, let's send troops immediately." Ma Chao excitedly called for battle.

Su Zhe jumped up, waved his big hand, and shouted happily: "Spread my will, tonight at night, the whole army will immediately set off to Daijun, I want to take Danhan Mountain directly and destroy the Khan Court of the Xianbei people!" ”

"Naok Dan Khan Mountain—"

"Naok Dan Khan Mountain—"

The generals in the hall were excited, waving their fists, and the sound of battle resounded through the hall.

On the same day, Su Zhe passed down the decree and ordered Hao Zhao to stay in Jicheng and continue to transfer grain and grass to Liaodong to create the illusion that his target was still Baitan City.

Su Zhe himself led the 60,000 iron horsemen of Jicheng to leave the city at night and go straight to Daijun in the northwest.

At the same time, nearly 40,000 infantry troops on the front line of Jinyang were also ordered to go north and go to Daijun to join the army.

Su Zhetie rode the starry night and traveled by the road, and within a few days, he arrived at Pingcheng, the seat of the county governor.

In order to prevent being discovered by Xianbei Xizuo, Su Zhe's army did not enter Pingcheng to replenish, and went around the city under the cover of night, and went straight to Zhangbeikou in the north.

At dusk day and night, an army of 10,000 iron cavalry marched along the mountain road and finally arrived at Zhangbeikou.

Su Zhe immediately climbed the hillside, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, only to see an abrupt peak, stopped at the mountain pass, after that peak, it will be a grassland of a flat river.

"Your Majesty, the Absolute Eagle Ridge has arrived." Zhang Liao pointed to the mountain road ahead.

As Su Zhe's trusted general, Zhang Liao guarded Youzhou for many years, in order to resist the Xianbei people, and to prepare for Su Zhe's Northern Expedition today, Zhang Liao traveled all over the cities along Yanshan, and even personally put on makeup to enter the grassland to reconnoiter the enemy.

Su Zhe led the army to attack the Xianbei people this time, so he naturally had to rely on Zhang Liao's "living map".

Su Zhe looked at the steep mountain from afar.

If he wants to successfully fight out of the mountain pass and capture the Khan Court of Danhan Mountain by surprise, he must first take the Absolute Eagle Ridge by surprise.

"How many Xianbei troops are there on the ridge?" Su Zhe raised his whip and pointed at it.

"According to our careful reconnaissance, there are not many Xianbei soldiers, but there are only more than 4,000 people." Zhang Liao replied.

As soon as the words changed, Zhang Liao said again: "However, although there are only 4,000 Xianbei people, this Eagle Ridge Mountain is dangerous, and it is said that even eagles can't fly over. ”

"What else can you do if you don't attack it, it's just such a desperate ridge, I don't think there is any other way than a frontal attack." Ma Chaodao.

The fighting spirit of the generals on the left and right was wild, and they took the initiative to ask for battle, wanting to lead the army to attack the Eagle Ridge.

Su Zhe looked at the mountain, but he was silent, not so impulsive.

He added up to 100,000 troops on foot, and if he wanted to capture a small mountain, it was naturally not a problem, but for him, the important thing was not whether he could capture it, but how long it would take to capture it.

If it can't be broken quickly, even if it drags on for three or five days, Danhan Mountain must be alert, and when the time comes, Pegasus will report urgently, Tuoba Liwei will detect his true intentions, and he will definitely lead the iron cavalry to return to the division quickly.

If this is the case, his plan to divert the tiger from the mountain after so many twists and turns will be meaningless.

"If you can't attack by force, then you can only outwit it." The corners of Su Zhe's mouth swept a hint of weirdness.
