After the drums of war, the entire camp was filled with the solemnity before the battle, which directly stimulated the nerves of the soldiers.

After a simple military discussion, the leading generals hurried out, and in a short time, the sound of assembled military trumpets sounded in the large camp, deep and melodious.

This large battalion, located fifty miles in front of Juyong Pass, is garrisoned by 50,000 people, which is almost seventy percent of the Tang State's strength in Youzhou.

As soon as the trumpet sounded, 50,000 people quickly assembled, without a trace of confusion, only hurried footsteps echoed in the barracks, and soon, the 50,000 troops were assembled in the school field.

Xue Rengui didn't say anything to boost morale, the soldiers were fast, and directly announced the order, and then immediately ordered Luo Cheng to set off and attack Yuyang County.

Luo Cheng, who received the general's order, did not have a trace of nonsense, directly ordered the 30,000 troops, left the camp with a group of generals, and galloped towards the east.

And Xue Rengui also led the remaining 20,000 troops, waved his army south, and headed towards Liangxiang City, where Zhang He was stationed.

Naturally, the movements of the Tang army could not be concealed, and soon, information on the transfer of troops by the Tang State appeared on Zhang Heshuai's case.

Seeing the Tang army pouring out, Zhang He directly came to the army, carefully thought about the next movement of the Tang army, and repaired two letters at the same time, sending people to Yan Rou stationed in Guangyang County, and at the same time reporting the movements of the Tang army to Yuan Shao, the king of Jin.

The words were divided into two ends, Luo Cheng, who received the military order, led an army of 30,000 and passed through Guangyang County non-stop and came to Yuyang.

At this time, Yuyang Taishou was Liu Yu's old department, named Qi Zhou, Liu Yu was engaged in it during his lifetime, after Liu Yu's death, he and Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin elected Yan Rou as the captain of Karasuma, and jointly crusaded against Gongsun Zhan, in return, Yan Rou recommended them to Yuan Shao to serve as local officials in Youzhou after the battle of Youzhou, and Qi Zhou was appointed as Yuyang Taishou.

At the boundary between Yuyang County and Guangyang County, dozens of miles to the east, Luo Cheng's 30,000 iron horsemen, like divine soldiers, appeared in Yuyang County.

The defenders of Yuyang did not expect that they would be raided by the Tang army, and before they could even close the city gate, they were killed by Luo Cheng and others into the city and occupied the city gate.

When Luo Cheng arrived in Yuyang, Qi Zhou was on official business, and by the time he learned of the Tang invasion, it was already too late.

"Tang country thief, why did you invade my Jin country's territory for no reason?" This Qi Zhou also had some courage, in the face of Luo Cheng's 30,000 iron cavalry, he did not dodge, and directly commanded the troops to start a street battle with Luo Cheng in the city.

"Hmph, Yuan Shao has no way, killed the Marquis of Ji, and today I am here to take revenge." Luo Cheng didn't talk nonsense with him, and after saying a word, let Qi Zhou refute it, and he didn't speak again.

Qi Zhou saw that Luo Cheng no longer talked to him, and also concentrated on commanding the soldiers, but his courage was commendable, and under the condition that there was no general to fight, Qi Zhou still held out with 5,000 men for a quarter of an hour before the whole line was defeated.

Qi Zhou, who is too guarded, is also a man, seeing that Yuyang City may not be guaranteed, he still swore to resist to the death, did not retreat a step, and never mentioned the surrender, and was finally killed by Luo Cheng with a shot.

After taking Yuyang, Luo Cheng looted the treasury, replenished the dry food on his body, and after a brief rest, he continued to set off and rushed to the south.

Luo Cheng came and went quickly, from the beginning of the attack to the departure of Yuyang, it only took an hour.

Of course, Luo Cheng did not continue to march eastward, but the bad people under Zhang Zai were not idle, and after Luo Cheng took Yuyang, there were many spies of bad people who quietly sneaked into the territory of Youbeiping and spread all kinds of rumors.

Just when Luo Cheng took Yuyang, Yan Rou, who was stationed in Jixian County, Guangyang County, finally received Zhang He's letter, and when he saw the Tang State army mentioned in Zhang He's letter, his brows also furrowed.

The letter mentioned that the Tang army divided 30,000 troops and went to the east, Yan Rou's first feeling was that it was going to be bad, the east of Guangyang County was originally the weak link in their control, especially Youbeiping, which was Gongsun Zhan's old nest, although Gongsun Zhan had been dead for several years, but there were still many people in the territory who remembered it.

Among the Tang army, there are a large number of Gongsun Zhan's old troops, once they enter Youbeiping and rebel against the people, I am afraid that they will be able to take Youbeiping without much effort.

However, facts have proved that Yan Rou's idea is right, the bad people just spread a few rumors in Youbeiping, and they have already made Youbeiping restless, and the county officials in many areas have been smashed, officials have been killed, and the people who worship Gongsun Zan have directly risen up and gathered to respond to the Tang State.

Luo Cheng went south, passed Anle County, and suddenly adjusted his direction and headed towards Jixian County.

"General, wouldn't it be a bit risky to do this?" Fan Fang, who was Luo Cheng's deputy general, couldn't help but persuade when he heard Luo Cheng's sudden order to transfer to Jixian County.

Luo Cheng glanced at Fan Fang and said, "If you don't take the risk, can you be sure to take Guangyang County?" ”

"This ......" Fan Fang was speechless, the soldiers were fast, taking advantage of the fact that the Jin army in Guangyang was not yet clear about their movements, and they would strive to repeat their old skills, maybe they could really take Jixian.

It's just that if this trip is not successful, then they will be involved by the enemy, and then they will be a lone army, and they are all cavalry, not good at attacking the city, unless they are surprised, just like Yuyang, take Jixian, otherwise their whereabouts will be exposed, not to mention being besieged and killed by the Jin army, at least they will return in vain.

However, the benefits are proportional to the risks, as long as Jixian County is taken, then the defenders of Guangyang County can only retreat to Jizhou, or go to Zhuo County to join Zhang He, although in this way, Xue Rengui's pressure will be greater, but for the overall situation, it is extremely beneficial, but ......

During the march, Luo Cheng directly ordered the army to stop advancing, and Xiu Shuyi said to the guards around him: "Go and send someone to inform the general, just say that the plan has changed, and ask the general to send troops north to Jixian County to break Yan Rou together." ”

Besides, Xue Rengui has transferred some troops from Daijun, and now he only has 30,000 troops in his hands, which is a bit different from the 50,000 soldiers and horses in Zhang He's hands, but he is confident that the combat effectiveness of these 30,000 people is not inferior to the 50,000 people of the Jin army.

Xue Rengui had already arrived at the city of Liangxiang at this time, and was stationed fifty miles outside the city.

Since Liangxiang City was raided by Luo Cheng and burned Yuan Shao's grain and grass, after Zhang He settled in, he directly raised the city wall, and now it is a large city with considerable scale.

And with only the 30,000 army in Xue Rengui's hands, he will definitely not be able to attack it, so he can only use a strategy.

And the most effective is water or fire attack, but there is no water source near Liangxiang City, and there is no big river, so there is no way to talk about water attack, and as for fire attack, there is no way.

Since Zhang He entered Liangxiang City, the city has been full of Jin Guo's eyeliner, and even the bad guys have lost several good hands.

And now Zhang He must have taken precautions against the fine work in the city, and if he wants to set fire, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky, so there is only one thing left to lure the enemy deeper, but Xue Rengui has already investigated, and the surrounding mountains and forests for more than ten miles have already been cut down by Zhang He, and there is no suitable place for ambush.
