Pusaka, Hebei, and Yishi are three-legged.

Hou Xuan occupies Pusaka, Han Xian occupies Hebei, and Shan Xiongxin occupies the Yi clan closest to Yanchi.

In order for Hou Xuan and Han Xian to control Yanchi, they must seize the Yi clan. However, they are all afraid.

And the state army, it's not easy to mess with.

Coveting Yanchi, and fearing that the other family would unite with the Bingzhou Army, Hou Xuan and Han Xian wanted to make a move, but they didn't dare to do it first, so they were all watching in a tangled way.

As long as one side can't hold back, the other side will not be willing to lag behind.

However, will Pusaka and Hebei make the first bird?

No.

But, you can induce one of them to come out first!

Xu Shiji has already made a plan.

Pusaka and Hebei, if either side wants to take the Yi clan, it must pass through the small city of Usucheng in the southwest of the Yi clan. As a result, Usucheng has become a place of concern for both sides, and both Pusaka and Hebei have sent scouts to cruise around Usucheng to observe the movements of the other side.

Just secretly dispatch a team with an unknown banner to sneak from the north of Gufeng Mountain to the southwest of Uusagi, and then suddenly turn to the northeast and make a gesture of attacking the Yi clan, which will definitely attract the attention of Pusaka and Hebei.

And Pusaka and Hebei will definitely think that the other side will make the first move, so they will follow closely and send troops to the Yi clan.

At this time, with the help of Wang Meng's relationship, let Deng Qiang offer a plan to Han Xian, divide the army into two routes, attack the Yi clan all the way, cut off the enemy's rear road all the way, and take Pusaka directly, then the two sides will definitely break out in the Yanchi area, and the state army can reap the benefits of the fisherman!

"Good!"

Liu Mang was overjoyed.

If this plan is successful, not only can the Hedong problem be quickly solved, but also with the help of Deng Qiang's power, Pusaka can be captured!

Immediately sent an order, and ordered Xu Huang of the Yan clan to take 2,000 elite soldiers into Hedong, with Shi Jin as a guide, to carry out the task of luring the enemy.

The high capital Fu Youde is on standby. The war in Hedong was fought together, and they quickly got out of the pass. Along the northern foot of Zhongtiao Mountain, it penetrated directly into Yucheng in the east of Yanchi, and controlled the route of the Baibo army to attack Yanchi from the east road.

Ordered Qin Qiong Lin Chong to lead the Su Guard Department to stand by. Always ready to cross the Fenshui.

Send a secret envoy to contact Wang Meng and Deng Qiang to convey the battle intentions to the past, hoping that the two will fully cooperate and strive to settle Hedong in a battle.

The Hedong War is imminent, and the stability of the three counties of the annexed state must be ensured.

Ordered the eldest grandson Wuji, Xu Da to strictly guard the eldest son, and Lu County. Defend Yuan Shao in Jizhou and ensure the safety of Shangdang.

Sent a message to Jinyang, ordering Su Dingfang to strengthen the first-line defense of Jingcheng and Yanmen, and beware of Yuan Shao and the Xiongnu in the north.

The carrier pigeon flew directly to Jinyang, and the letter was quickly delivered to Su Dingfang, the general of Bingzhou.

At the same time, Su Dingfang also received another confidential information - Yanmen emergency military intelligence!

……

Last summer, Liu Mang led his troops to rescue Yanmen and defeated the southern invasion of the Xiongnu.

For a year, the Xiongnu did not dare to invade the border. The Yanmen mining industry is booming, animal husbandry is thriving, and the Hu market is active, which has reappeared for decades. A rare scene of stability and prosperity.

Liu Mang integrated the three counties of the prefecture and paid more attention to the border defense of Yanmen. Yanmen general Yang Yansi, Yin Pavilion general Hu Luguang, Pingcheng lieutenant recruited, unified 2,000 foot soldiers, 1,000 horse troops, stationed in Yinguan, Mayi, Pingcheng three important places, strictly prevent the Xiongnu from invading the territory in the south.

However, half a month ago, Yang Yanzhao received information from the two counties of Yunzhong and Dingxiang in the north, and the Hun Tumut Division, under the leadership of the leader Xiao'er Jin-Gegen, invaded Yunzhong County again.

……

Late Han Dynasty. The border army was deserted, and it was no longer able to hold the three counties of Shuofang, Wuyuan, and Yunzhong in the north of the state.

The people were overwhelmed by the Xiongnu attack and moved south one after another. The three counties, which were originally the territory of the Han Dynasty, have gradually become the pastures of the Xiongnu.

Especially Yunzhong County. Because the tributaries of the Yellow River run through the dry water (Dahei River) and Baiqu water (Shilausu River), the aquatic grass in Yunzhong County is the most fertile, and it has become the most ideal place for nomads who live in pursuit of water and grass to transfer grazing.

The Xiongnu invaded the south and annexed the three northern counties of the state, which has become a common practice recognized by both Han and Hungary.

This time, however, Gegen's Tumut tribe did not only enter Yunzhong County again. It even continued southward into the Hunhe River valley of Dingxiang County.

When the Xiongnu entered Dingxiang, they arrived at the foot of the Great Wall.

To the southwest, from the banks of the Yellow River, you can go south to Xihe County. To the southeast, cross the Great Wall and enter Yanmen County!

Although the Xiongnu invaded the south this time, although they did not plunder the livestock population as much as last year, the momentum was even greater than last year!

The Khan of the Tumut Department even tied the Khan's tent to the foot of the Great Wall, and openly shouted that the Yanmen garrison should open Dingxianghu City, otherwise, they would cross the Great Wall and set foot on Yanmen with iron hooves!

After the overall situation of the state was initially decided, Liu Mang implemented the separation of military and political affairs in the management of the three counties.

The garrisons of the three counties were under the command of the generals of each county. The three counties are in charge of the county's internal affairs.

However, Yanmen is located at the border gate, far away from the state administration. In order to respond to the invasion of the Xiongnu, Liu Mang specially handed over the military power to Yanmen to Li Hongzhang, the Taishou of Yanmen.

Yang Yanzhao received information about the Xiongnu's movements and immediately submitted it to Li Hongzhang.

Li Hongzhang received the report and was shocked!

Yang Yanzhao crossed his hand and asked for an order: "Taishou, Yang asks for an order, lead the troops north out of the Great Wall, and vow to expel the Tartars from the north of the desert!" ”

Last year, Yang Yanzhao led 800 warriors to defend Yanmen for more than a month. Although the losses were heavy, they finally waited for Liu Mang's reinforcements and broke the Huns.

Now, the strength of Yanmen has doubled, and there are newly trained light cavalry to help, and Yang Yanzhao's confidence in breaking the enemy has increased by a hundredfold.

However, Li Hongzhang had the information in hand and did not express his position for a long time......

"Taishou, the military situation is urgent, it is advisable to make a decision quickly, hurry up and report to the lord, and send troops immediately!" Yang Yanzhao has been guarding the border for a long time and knows the characteristics of the Huns best.

The Xiongnu herded in the south, and the small tribes were loosely connected with each other. Especially at the beginning of the southward movement, the tribes were busy looking for suitable grazing places, and their forces were scattered. At this time, it is easiest to break the enemy.

Seeing that Li Hongzhang frowned, but he couldn't make up his mind, Yang Yanzhao became more and more anxious and kept urging.

"General Yanzhao, this matter must be ...... carefully"

"The Xiongnu have penetrated deep into the territory of my Han Dynasty, so we still need to be cautious?" Although Yang Yanzhao is calm, he is a military general with troops after all, how can he stand Li Hongzhang's "prudence".

"General Yanzhao, the Huns have violated the border, and they must be severely punished in order to build up the prestige of our Han army. However, these are extraordinary times, and we must consider the overall situation in order to live up to the high expectations and trust of our lord. ”

Although Yang Yanzhao is the general of Yanmen, he only has the right to command the army. It is necessary to obtain Li Hongzhang's approval before the troops in various localities can be mobilized.

Although anxious, Yang Yanzhao still had to sit down and listen to Li Hongzhang's opinion.

"General Yanzhao, if the Xiongnu invade Yanmen, we don't need to hesitate. However, crossing the Great Wall and taking the initiative to attack, according to the military system of our annex state, it must be reported to the Lord. ”

"I understand the military system, so I urged Li Taishou to report to the lord as soon as possible, and please order the troops."

Li Hongzhang's brows were still tightly locked, and he shook his head slowly for a while. "Don't ......"

"What? Cannot?! Yang Yanzhao was anxious.

Li Hongzhang was not affected by Yang Yanzhao's emotions, but became more determined in his decision: "No, this matter cannot be reported to the lord!" ”

Yang Yanzhao jumped up with a "pout", "What? You want to hide the military information?! (To be continued.) )
