After Liu Yuan learned the news, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

The hidden danger is the most deadly, Wuhuan didn't move for a day, and Liu Yuan didn't feel at ease for a day. Now that it's moving, it's the face of it!

Ordering his generals to prepare for the expedition, Liu Yuan immediately returned to the Taishou Mansion and sent someone to call all the advisers to the study.

"Lord, Wuhuan moved?"

Guo Jia was holding this small wine jug in his hand, and there was still a hint of drunkenness on his face.

"I said Fengxiao, you can't drink less?" Liu Yuan glared at him and said, "Drink too much and hurt your body, be careful of dying young!" ”

"Hehe," Guo Jia smiled apologetically, "Thank you for your concern, Jia will pay attention in the future." ”

"You!" Liu Yuan shook his head helplessly, his face suddenly straightened, his eyes slowly swept over Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, and Chen Qun, and said in a heavy voice: "There was a report just now, and the Wuhuan cavalry has appeared in Panxi County!" ”

"How many?" Guo Jia was the first to ask.

"About fifty thousand." Liu Yuan's face was calm, but a cold light flashed in his eyes: "There are only fifteen thousand soldiers under my command who can fight, and it seems that it is not easy to win." ”

The four of them all nodded yes, but they all looked calm, as if they didn't have the slightest worry.

"As for the specific strategy and tactics, we still have to look at Pan Xi and understand the specific situation before we can determine it."

Liu Yuan looked at the four of them and said: "Now that Yuyang has just stabilized, there can be no internal chaos, and there can be chaos, so I decided that Gong and Yuan Hao will stay in Yuyang to be responsible for various affairs; Changwen and the personal guard battalion Qi Zhou and 2,000 soldiers were in charge of logistics in the rear; To go to the front, it is enough for me to bring filial piety. ”

The four of them saluted and received the order.

At this time, a guard sent a message that the four generals were ready. Liu Yuan immediately ordered someone to bring weapons to wear, bring mounts, and led Guo Jia, with Dian Wei and one hundred and thirty elite guards, stepping on the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, crossing the street, and looking outside Yuyang City.

Outside the city, under the stage, 15,000 soldiers were clearly distinguished, divided into three phalanxes, under the leadership of Xu Huang, Yan Liang, and Huang Chang, silently waiting for Liu Yuan's arrival. In the whole wilderness, there was only the sound of hunting and hunting with the north wind blowing the banner.

A moment later, Liu Yuan arrived, met the blazing eyes of all the generals and soldiers, and went up to the platform.

Due to the urgency of the situation, Liu Yuan was not verbose, and even ordered: "Where is Xu Huang?!" ”

"The last general!" Xu Huang dismounted, took two steps forward, knelt on one knee on the lookout, and bowed his hands.

"Order, Xu Huang led 5,000 cavalry to reach the territory of Panxi as quickly as possible, and find out the specific situation of the Wuhuan army for me!"

"Whoa!"

Xu Huang retreated, turned over and got on his horse, waved the big axe in his hand, and shouted: "Let's go!" ”

Suddenly, five thousand war horses moved, like a black torrent, the mountains roared and the tsunami, and like thunder descended into the world, shaking the entire Yuyang City trembling and wailing!

A trace of envy flashed in the eyes of Yan Liang and Huang Chang, but when they thought that their subordinates were not bad, they showed a hint of relief at the moment.

The cavalry gradually moved away, and under the leadership of Xu Huang, there was no distraction from beginning to end, and a trace of satisfaction flashed in Liu Yuan's eyes. Although it has not yet met the requirements in mind, this is only the result of training in ten days, and it is also worth being proud of who you put on it.

"Yan Liang, Huang Chang, go to Panxi with me."

"Whoa!"

After Liu Yuan finished speaking, he strode off the earth platform, turned over and got on the mount, and Guo Jiadianwei followed closely beside him.

"The army is out!" Liu Yuan shook the horsewhip and roared, taking the lead.

The soldiers raised the banner with a golden Liu character and a black python pattern and followed closely behind, followed by the archers and pikemen who started to jog and followed.

When they passed by the city gate, they saw many people gathered outside the city, and some even brought food and wine to see off the army.

However, it was said that Xu Huang led 5,000 cavalry to run wildly, but in just four hours, he had already reached the territory of Panxi. At this time, it was already dark, and people were sleepy and tired, Xu Huang found a treasure land surrounded by mountains and rivers, set up camp, and immediately sent scouts.

As the night wore on, a cold snap lifted the tent door, blowing the oil lamp in the tent to crumble. Xu Huang was draped, holding the flames in one hand and picking up the map in the other, and was studying it carefully.

"Report!"

"Come in."

A guard entered the door and arched his hand: "General, the scout cavalry has returned." ”

"Oh? So fast! Xu Huang put down the things in his hand, sat upright, and said, "Call the leader to come in." ”

After a while, the chief of the scout team entered the tent door, bowed his head on one knee, and said, "General, we have not traveled more than fifty miles along the path before we have found the tent of the enemy camp. The tent spread for more than ten miles, and there were probably 50,000 people! ”

"Fifty miles?" Xu Huang frowned and said, "Come forward and show me." ”

With the tips of the scout's fingers, Xu Huang's eyes were certain, and his brows slowly wrinkled deeper and deeper.

"This is the place!"

It was a small hill called Shilipo, and it was neither a good place for sneak attacks and ambushes, nor a good place to hide their tracks. Xu Huang frowned, but it was because this place was about the same distance from Panxi and Pinggu!

So, does Wuhuan want to attack Panxi or Pinggu? Or are you going to divide your troops and attack the two counties at the same time?

Xu Huang said in his heart: "In this way, without understanding the enemy's purpose, our army will fall into passivity and be led by the nose by Wu Huan!" "As it looks like now, no matter which county Wuhuan attacks, the Yuyang Army has to go to the rescue, and they are invisibly held by their noses. If Wuhuan divides his troops into two ways to attack two counties at the same time, and the number of Yuyang troops is far less than that of Wuhuan, it will appear even more passive!

At the moment, Xu Huang couldn't think of a good way, so he had to send scouts to pay close attention to the movements of the Wuhuan army, hoping to gain something. At the same time, Xu Huang sent another team of soldiers to report the situation to Liu Yuan.

Shilipo Wuhuan camp.

The king of the cliff sat in the high hall, and the leaders and leaders were divided into two sides, and Zhang Ju sat on the side of the king of the cliff.

"Lord Zhang, our army has already stationed troops here, I don't know what to do next?" King Qiao asked Zhang Judao sideways.

"Lord Crag, just wait with peace of mind." Zhang Ju said confidently: "I am afraid that I know the current situation of Yuyang better than the children of the Liu family, so adults don't have to worry about it at all." When I fled, the grain and grass in the entire Yuyang Mansion Treasury was only more than 200,000 stones, plus the income from the extermination of the family, at most 400,000 stones! Now that Xiao'er is exempt from all kinds of taxes in Yuyang, and after two months of consumption, I dare to conclude that even if the adults only surround him and not fight, they can drag him down! ”

"What's more, all the county soldiers in Yuyang are only forty or fifty thousand, of which there are 20,000 old and weak, 10,000 sick and disabled, and the most who can really go to the battlefield is only 20,000. Moreover, a large part of these 20,000 people have never been on the battlefield, and in the hands of the King of Cliffs, they must be vulnerable. ”

Listening to Zhang Ju's eloquent conversation, the smile on King Qiao's face became thicker and thicker.

The leaders under his command were almost already breathing, as if Yuyang County was in front of them, and Yuyang County was already in the bag.

"However," Zhang Ju looked at the King of Cliffs and hesitated, "Lord King of Cliffs still has to pay attention to a few people before he can do it." ”

King Qiao frowned and said, "Lord Zhang is talking about protecting the Wuhuan Captain's Mansion?" ”

"No, no, no," Zhang Ju shook his head and said: "Captain Hu Wuhuan has long been exhausted by you, my lord, even if it is the emperor's order, I am afraid that the straw bag will not dare to move." As for Youbeiping, it's worse than Yuyang, so don't worry about it at all. The people I am worried about are Liu Ji of the Assassin Shi and Liu Yan of Zhuojun. ”

"What Lord Zhang said, but the two relatives of the Han family?"

"Not bad!"

"Hmm" King Qiao frowned, thought for a moment and said, "I really have to guard against it." But when they get the news, I'm afraid Yuyang has already fallen into my hands, and it's too late to send troops by then, haha"

"What if the Liu family children go to borrow the rescuers early?" Zhang Ju asked rhetorically: "Maybe the people who borrowed troops are already halfway through the road now." ”

The face of the Cliff King, which had gradually regained its smile, sank again: "Even if those two want to rescue, I'm afraid it won't work out, right?!" This year, my Wuhuan departments frequently entered Youzhou to fight grass valleys, and even robbed many county government treasury, and these two counties may not be able to help if they want to help - there is not enough grain and grass! ”

"No!" Zhang Ju said categorically: "Does the King of Cliffs know the origin of Liu Yuan's child?" ”

"Didn't you say that the little boy spent money to buy an official! Liu Yuan, Liu Liu Yuan!? Could it be someone from the royal family? ”

"Not bad!" Zhang Judao: "He is not only a member of the royal family, but also has a good relationship with Liu Ji and Liu Yan. Even if Liu Ji and the others are reluctant to come to help because of the lack of food and grass, I am afraid they will have to come because of the dignity of the royal family! King Cliff Do you think, the three of them are all royalty, it is impossible to watch one of them being attacked by King Cliff and the two of them are indifferent, wouldn't they be blamed for saying it? Even the emperor who is far away in Luoyang, I'm afraid he can't spare them. ”

King Qiao listened to Zhang Ju's words, pondered for a moment, and felt that it did make sense, but at this time, the arrow had to be sent, so he said: "What is Master Zhang's plan?" ”

"I don't dare to be a clever plan, but there are a few subtotals." Zhang Judao: "First, the adults choose a county, attack casually, lead Liu Yuan's main force over, set up an ambush, and annihilate it all with one blow." Second, the troops were divided into two routes, attacking Pinggu and Panxi counties, dividing Liu Yuan's forces and annihilating them one by one. ”

"Actually, as long as the adults kill Liu Yuan, everything will be over." Zhang Ju said gloomily: "One is that Liu Yuan has just taken office and has no foundation in Yuyang, as long as he dies, Yuyang will be at his fingertips; Second, as long as the adults kill Liu Yuan before the arrival of Liu Ji and Liu Yan's army, then the two will definitely retreat, and the adults will sit in Yuyang County. ”

"Makes sense!" King Qiao nodded and smiled: "As for which strategy to use, let me think about it for one night first, and then make a decision tomorrow morning." ”

Liu Yuan led 10,000 troops by himself, and arrived at Qianping that night and stationed troops here. Then I received Xu Huang's letter, and I was embarrassed at the moment, so I called Guo Jia to discuss together.

The two sat in front of the oil lamp, Liu Yuan opened the map, studied it carefully, and still didn't have a clue, but he saw that Guo Jia was wandering, and he didn't care, and he knew that Guo Jia had a plan, and hurriedly asked: "What is Fengxiao's strategy, and teach me!" ”

"Hehe, why does the lord only focus on the battlefield? Don't you know that outside the battlefield, there is also the key to determining victory or defeat! Guo Jia said with a smile: "Can the lord remember where this war disaster came from?" ”

"Why don't you remember?!" Liu Yuan said: "Zhang Ju! ”

"Yes, Zhang Ju. Why was Zhang Ju so frustrated, and he actually colluded with foreign clans to attack the Taishou appointed by the imperial court? Avenge! ”

Guo Jia analyzed.

"In that case, why doesn't the lord work the Zhang family?"

"You mean"
