Chapter 596: War Resumes in the North
Zhang Jun is the luckiest of the three of them, because he was the first to surrender to the past and was treated leniently, not only did he not lose his position, but he even moved inward, from the assassin history to the official of Zhongshu Province, although the rank dropped by two levels, but the importance of this new position can be imagined, and the opportunity to participate in some important decision-making political items is far higher than that of a assassin history, so Zhang Jun carefully held his tail and behaved honestly in Yecheng.

Hu Luguang participated in the battle meeting for the Khitan conquest as an important general under the command of Anzhou Assassin Shi, and Zhou Zhimin knew that his relationship with Emperor Gao Huan was extraordinary, otherwise how could Menxia Province personally order the son of Yanzhou Assassin Shi Hu Lujin to be transferred to Anzhou as a school captain. In addition, Gao Huan has been discussing the Northern Expedition to the Khitan with the officials of Zhongshu Province, so Zhou Zhimin first firmly grasped Hu Luguang, the future star, and this expedition was also his temporary intention to cater to the emperor's mind, wanting to give Hu Luguang a chance to make meritorious contributions.
Hu Lvguang's younger brother Hu Lvxian is still in Yanzhou at the moment as a military Sima is really lacking, it has been more than half a year since the last meeting with Gao Huan, during this time he and Hu Lvxian both grew up rapidly, at the beginning Zhou Zhimin gave him some tasks to suppress bandits and kill thieves, he completed them very well before he gradually let him participate in some military operations related to the Khitans, during which there were also victories and failures, after the baptism of war, Hu Lvguang at this moment has gradually become the same military general as his father, very powerful and talented.
The Khitan people bordering Anzhou have three tribes, namely Tianzhu, Niutou, and Xin'an. The three tribes gathered the rebels and the remnants of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Han and Hu lived in one place, wreaking havoc on the northern grasslands, and they even raided Miyun in Anzhou on a large scale and organized many times. Be yang. White sandalwood and other places have been damaged to varying degrees. This is also the reason why Zhou Zhimin launched an attack on these three tribes of the Khitan.
Among the three tribes, Niu Tou's strength is the strongest, and it is relatively far away from Anzhou, and the weakest Xin'an Department is the closest to them, so Zhou Zhimin hopes that Hu Luguang can lead the army to break through one by one and destroy all three tribes. Hu Luguang was different from what he thought, he wanted to directly bypass Xin'an and Tianzhu, directly attack the head of the cow, and destroy the strongest of their three tribes first, so that the remaining two tribes would naturally surrender without a fight, thus achieving the goal of winning a complete battle and reducing losses, because Hu Luguang knew that the Khitans were not his target, and the Turks behind them were opponents.
Zhou Zhimin doesn't know much about military affairs, and he doesn't want to have too much restraint on Hu Luguang, as long as it does not affect his official career and career, and does not threaten Anzhou, he can support it unconditionally, Hu Luguang also asked that Hu Luxian be transferred to him as an assistant.
Zhou Zhimin handed it over, and Gao Huan's side recovered very quickly, and immediately asked the subordinate province to order that Sima Hu Luxian from other departments in Yanzhou be transferred to Anzhou to fight together. For the rapid growth of his two sons, Hu Lujin is happy in his eyes, the so-called generals and generals, and Xiangmen and Xiangmen, his two sons can inherit the mantle and give full play to their own military talents, Hu Lujin is very pleased and supportive.
In Licheng County, Guangyang County, Anzhou, Hu Luguang is studying with his young generals how to hit Niu Head, because the camp from Li Cheng County to Niu Head needs to cross two rivers and several mountains, and the camp of the Tianzhu Department must pass in the middle, so theoretically this action is very risky and aggressive, and if you are not careful, you will be ambushed. Hu Luxian said at this time: "The general (Hu Luguang was awarded the position of general by Gao Huan) thinks that it is better for us to divide the troops, I will lead a small force to attack the Tianzhu Department and attract the attention of their three tribes, so that you can take the army to smash the Yellow Dragon, take advantage of the head of the ox and react, and directly destroy them, wouldn't it be better?" ā
This strategy is indeed feasible, because it can at least ensure that the fire points will not be all focused on Hu Luguang, and they can easily pass under the nose of the enemy without being ambushed. After all, the Khitan people are a grassland people, not as wise as the Han people, this unexpected way of marching and the purpose of the battle is difficult for them to see, Hu Lu Guang said loudly: "Hu Lu Sima said is reasonable, what do you think?" "Young people are always enthusiastic and impulsive together, and naturally they are supportive of this bold plan.
So Hu Luguang assigned Hu Luxian 2,000 men and horses, let him go out from the northeast of Anzhou to meet Ding Yuan Mountain into the Laoha River, and then all the way north to the camp of the Tianzhu Department, at the same time, Hu Luguang's army also set out from Licheng County at the same time to cross the paddock and turn east directly to the camp of Niu Tou, in the place where they are still more than 100 miles away from Niu Tou, the south of Tianzhu has come from the smoke of war, it seems that Hu Lvxian's first step of the plan has been successful, At this moment, it is estimated that even the people of Shin-Abe are paying attention to them.
The Khitan chieftain Duolong with the head of the ox is a shrewd and wise man, he led these tribesmen to swing between the Han and the Turks, the Turks are strong and he is attached to the Turks, the Han people are strong and he takes refuge in the Han people, and the stalemate on both sides is he himself in the middle of the mud to fight the autumn wind, so over the years his tribe has basically not suffered any blows, and there are no losses, some individual Khitans and small tribes in the vicinity Doudou were recovered and annexed by him, and gradually his troops grew from more than 3,000 people at the beginning to more than 20,000 people now, Become the most powerful tribe among the Khitans in this area.
Because it is far away from the border of the Han people, and it is at the junction of the grassland and the primeval forest, so he has a very good set of soldiers to escape, Duolong's combat style is to fight and run if he can't fight, so several Han army's clean-up operations have allowed him to escape, but this time the young Hu Luguang set his eyes on the old fox here, intending to annihilate his tribe in one fell swoop, at this moment Duolong is ignorant of the Han army's plan.
Hu Luxian's attack on the Tianzhu Department was only harassing, he didn't plan to really fight against these Khitans, the people of the Tianzhu Department didn't know the military plans of the Han people at this time, so the annoyed and angry Tianzhu Chieftain led his entire army to chase and kill Hu Luxian, Hu Luxian divided his own troops into three echelons, and alternately dealt with the pursuit of the enemy army, a bit like the meaning of the waves hitting the beach, the wave-style blocking method really had a miraculous effect, the army of the Tianzhu Department suffered heavy casualties, and every time they pursued, someone would block it, They set up a position, and these Han people ran away again.
This kind of attack made the chief of the Tianzhu Department very angry, he led his subordinates to fight and chase Hu Luxian, and even chased all the way through Dingyuan Mountain into Anzhou, which made Hu Luxian very satisfied, his goal had been achieved and it was very perfect to obtain an unexpected effect. At this time, even if the Tianzhu Department discovered Hu Luguang's men and horses, there was no way to come back to support Niu Tou. Sure enough, when Hu Luguang and his subordinates suddenly appeared in front of Duolong, the entire head of the cow was panicked, and Duolong did not expect that these Han people would return to their hometowns and attack them from the sky.
