The third day of November, Anju, Songshan. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the morning, Li Fengyun led the northern expedition to select the Fengma army out of the pass, stepped on the snow, crossed the mountains and mountains, and marched towards the Luoma River.

Immediately afterwards, Ah Hui Chuan took Ah Hui to control the strings out of the customs and camped outside the customs.

Around noon, Han Shige and the alliance headquarters appeared under the pass under the front and rear of the Tiger Ben Army and the Fengyun Army, and in their rear, among the lofty mountains and mountains, the alliance's various armies, tens of thousands of tribes of the Ahui Department and thousands of carts carrying grain and grass were coming one after another, stretching for dozens of miles.

In the evening, the commanders of all armies were ordered to go to Guannei to participate in the military meeting of the headquarters.

The Northern Expedition has begun, and the army has left Songshan, which is the vast land on both sides of the weak Luoshui, and it is about to start a face-to-face fight with the Donghu species, so this military discussion must be about a series of specific attack strategies for the Northern Expedition, and the commanders of the armies are excited, and there are many discussions and speculations.

Han Shige was wearing a yellow uniform, with a serious expression and arrogant eyes, and slowly walked into the lobby and sat in the center, majestic.

The lobby was silent for a moment. The commanders of the armies had solemn expressions and sat upright.

Sima Yuan'an, military officer Li Mengwei, and superintendent Murong Zhili then walked into the lobby. Murong Zhili sat under Han Shige. Li Mengwei presided over the military meeting, courteously gave the general management of the army, and then asked Sima Yuan'an to give a detailed explanation of some specific arrangements of the northern expeditionary army after leaving the customs.

Yuan An walked to the map and talked about Songshan first.

Songshan is hundreds of miles in circumference, and the east and west are more than 200 miles, among which there are the Fox River and the Yin Liang River, which flow into the Luoma River from south to north. The Lok Ma River is at the northern foot of Songshan, originating from the flat pine forest, from west to east, and flowing into the Tofuchen Water. And in the north of the Lok Ma River, there is another river, parallel to the Lok Ma River, called the Zhuo Suo River, which also originates from the flat pine forest, from east to west, and also flows into the Lok Ma River.

In this way, there is a peculiar terrain, in a less than 30 miles long river section, the Fox River, the Yinliang River, the Luoma River, the Zhuosuo River, the four rivers meet according to this, and here is the Chifeng Jinkou, which is the only place to enter the vast plain on both sides of the weak Luoshui from Songshan.

Since Xianbei entered the Central Plains, Anzhou is the territory of the Middle Earth, and Songshan is the border between Anzhou and Donghu species, Songshan Pass is the checkpoint of the north and south, and Chifeng Jinkou is the place where the north and south are mutually marketed, belonging to the two areas, Donghu species, merchants, robbers, and fugitives frequently haunt, and the fish and dragons are mixed, but it also promotes the expansion of Jinkou, and over time, it also has a large scale.

In the process of unification of Middle Earth, Donghu is also divided into three parts of the world, Xi, Xi and Khitan three tribes stand, Songshan immediately became the border of Xi and Khitan, the two tribes have repeated conflicts, wars continue, Chifeng Jinkou immediately turned into ruins in the war, although now controlled by the Xi people, but only a ferry function, only stationed a team of outpost scouts.

After Yuan An introduced the terrain of Songshan and its northern foothills, he pointed to the Chifengjin Pass on the map and said loudly, "The base camp of the Northern Expedition is located here, and a bridge will be built on the frozen river in the near future to ensure that the grain and grass baggage are transported to the front line safely and in time." ”

Then Yuan An's fingers moved west along the Luoma River on the map, stopping at the confluence of the Luoma River and the Tuosuchen Water, "More than 100 miles away from the mouth of Chifeng Jinkou is Luoma City, and it is also the residence of the Eight Yaolai Divisions of the Khitan. The chief manager personally led the selection of the front army, and was killing and rushing to Luomacheng day and night, planning to surprise the enemy and attack the enemy, and the Khitans were caught off guard, and strive to go down with one drum and decide a battle. ”

"After that, the generals of the Northern Expedition army were divided into two routes, the eastern route was led by the Great Governor's Office to attack the Khitan, and the northern route was led by Xinyi Gong (Han Shige) to lead the main force and go north to attack the Khitan."

"After the general manager captured Macheng, he continued to march eastward and attacked the Khitan Changhan City. Changhan City is the capital of the strongest tribe of the Khitan, and it is also the center of the Khitan Dahe Alliance, which is about 250 miles away from Luoma City. After that, the general general led the army down the Tongra River, ran more than 300 miles, and directly killed the Khitan Diera Prefecture Python Niucheng, and did his best to inflict heavy damage on the Khitan. ”

"The north road takes the Ahui Department as the selection front, crosses the Zhuosuo River and the Cang'er River in the north, kills the Shaolang River, runs for more than 300 miles, and goes straight to the Wudan City, where the Khitan Yaoyuan Ministry is located."

"The Mukun Department is in charge of the command of the Division and the Su Branch, and then follows up to provide support."

"The alliance of Huben, Fengyun, Hussars, the second, third, and fourth armies, and the Anzhou army advanced accordingly and quickly headed north."

After Yuan An gave the specific order, the military discussion was coming to an end, and at this time it was Han Shige's turn to speak, thinking that he was going to do something to encourage mobilization, but Han Shige was concise and to the point, so he said a word.

"Tomorrow, the armies will march north."

The fourth day of November, Hebei, Gaoyang Palace.

The palace received an urgent report from Cui Hongsheng, the general of Zuo Wuwei, that Anzhou had defeated the Turkic army in the southeast Yaqi on the battlefield of the Ghost Fang on October 27, and informed him in detail of the course and initial results of the Battle of the Ghost Fang, as well as the impact of the battle on the situation in Anzhou and even the northeast.

And the outcome of the ghost battle also had an impact on the decision-making that the center had planned before. The greater the results of the battle in Anzhou, the more bargaining chips there are, and the more passive the Great Wall will be, so if the center wants to completely solve the Flying Fox rebels before the end of the year, it must speed up the resolution and not delay it, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

Cui Hongsheng recounted the negotiation process and the initial results in the urgent recital. Although his discordant plan was implemented, but because the nobles with Li Zixiong did not actually control Anzhou, the white thief monopolized the power and made a promise, so whether this plan can achieve the expected effect does not seem to be optimistic at present, and it is still necessary to find a way from its side, and the best way is to divide the Flying Fox rebels and force the Flying Fox rebels to take the initiative to go out, so even if Anzhou does not agree, but the wood has been completed, it is helpless.

Cui Hongsheng played the Holy Lord, after the victory of the ghost side, it is imperative for Anzhou to weaken Luoshui in the north, so Anzhou will inevitably be negative for the next negotiations, deliberately delay, waiting for the results of the northern expedition, once the northern expedition is victorious, Anzhou's asking price will inevitably increase, even if Anzhou agrees to the withdrawal of the Flying Fox rebels into Anzhou, the center will also pay a lot of price.

However, if the Northern Expedition fails, or if the results are effective and the expected goals are not achieved, Anju will fall into a serious crisis after the beginning of next year, and the situation will be unpredictable. Although he also has a judgment, thinking that in order to hold on to Anzhou, the White Thief and Li Zixiong had no choice but to compromise and withdraw the Flying Fox rebels into Anzhou to replenish their strength, but if the White Thief saw that he could not do anything and was in danger of annihilation, he resolutely gave up Anzhou, went south to the Great Wall, and turned to Youyan, then the situation would take a sharp turn and be out of control.

Therefore, in order to ensure the successful implementation of the central decision, ensure the stability of Youyan and the safety of the northern Xinjiang garrison, Cui Hongsheng decided to expel the Flying Fox rebels from the customs in the shortest possible time at any cost. In addition, he also implored the Holy Lord and the Center to think of other ways, only by leaving the Flying Fox rebels cornered and in a desperate situation, can the Flying Fox rebels take the initiative to take refuge.

The Holy Lord and Yu Shiji, Yu Wenshu, Lai Yuan, Zhao Cai and other cronies and important ministers saw Cui Hongsheng's meaning at a glance, this is to ask the Holy Lord to put pressure on the King of Qi who was ordered to patrol the border, and cut off the biggest "reliance" of the Flying Fox rebels stationed in Yanbei, otherwise the King of Qi will "pull the hind legs" behind his back, and cooperate with the rebels to confuse the situation in Yanbei, and even secretly appease the rebels to strengthen their own strength, then only rely on Cui Hongsheng to separate the Flying Fox rebels, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve the purpose of expulsion.

The Holy Lord was worried.

It is important to expel the Flying Fox rebels from the customs as soon as possible, but the Anzhou side has won successive battles and the results of the battle have continued to expand, and the request for return under this good momentum has made the Holy Lord keenly aware of a trace of hidden worries.

The Holy Lord realized that he and the center had despised Anzhou too much before, thinking that Anzhou was not strong, and that it was stuck in the "throat" by the support in the Great Wall, and was very passive, so he could only let it be slaughtered, but now it seems that this judgment is arbitrary and debatable.

Now Anzhou after defeating the Xi army, and non-stop, continuous fighting, in a short period of time again defeated the Turkic army in the southeast of the banner, has been based in Anzhou, and then Anzhou is not resting, not consolidating the results, but continuing to fight, the weak Luoshui in the north swept the Donghu species, which fully proves that the strength of Anzhou is very strong, the army has a certain scale, and it is not a vulnerable rabble at all.

Such a strong army marching north to weak Luoshui, if it firmly grasps the rare fighter in front of it and achieves the expected goal, then it will also have the power to counter Middle-earth.

The ownership of the Northeast directly affects and even determines the future direction of North-South relations, and the Northeast is important to Middle-earth and the desert as important. If Anzhou takes the Northeast, turns the passive into the active, and sells the Northeast at a good price, and whoever bids the highest price will sell it to whomever it wants, then Anzhou will be able to skillfully maneuver between the two strong men of Middle Earth and the Desert, and maximize the benefits from the left and right.

If the future situation unfolds according to this speculation, it will be unfavorable to Middle-earth, just like Cui Hongsheng said, once Anzhou won the northern expedition, the lion opened his mouth, and asked for a price, then Middle-earth will pay a lot of price, and it is even possible that the bamboo basket will be empty, because of the enmity with Anzhou and the Turks will be cheapened in vain.

The Holy Lord was keenly aware of the danger from Anzhou's "return" request, and Yu Shiji, Yu Wenshu and others also saw this foreseeable hidden danger from the series of victories in Anzhou.

Cui Hongsheng obviously saw it, but his status determined that he couldn't say it directly, and could only hint vaguely, so Cui Hongsheng was worried, and he wanted to drive the Flying Fox rebels out of the customs as quickly as possible at any cost, and even knew that he was implying that the Holy Lord was putting pressure on the King of Qi, and was suspected of provoking the feelings of father and son, but he still suggested vaguely, for no other reason, he was afraid that after Anzhou became stronger, he would sell himself to the Turks, so it would be terrible for the Flying Fox rebels to be stationed in Yanbei, once Anzhou and the Flying Fox rebels should be united, the Great Wall would fall, Youyan would be in chaos, and the northern Xinjiang would be in an emergency, Before the Great War broke out, Middle-earth was completely passive and lost ground.

The Holy Lord and the central ministers suddenly found themselves in a dilemma, and it was difficult to choose.
