"Da Danyu, the child asks to go to Xiangping!" Murong Han pleaded loudly.

"No, you stay in Great Thorn City, this time Ben Shan Yu will go in person! This is a lifetime of Yu Rongma, this time I want to see if the Jin army has the ability to swallow my 100,000 elite horses! Murong Diao said proudly.

"Ahh Father Khan, or son! Murong Han hurriedly persuaded. After all, Murong Diao is the big single of the Murong tribe, and his importance is self-evident. If something goes wrong, maybe the whole tribe will collapse because of it.

"Needless to say, there will be no problem with this single battle. On the contrary, Han'er, you stay in the Great Thorn City, but you must be careful to prevent the Jin army from sneaking up on my troops when they are empty! Murong Diao insisted.

It only took one day for the envoy sent by Murong Diao to rush to Duan Xianbei, and after seeing Duan Wu Muchen, he presented Murong Diao's handwritten letter. In the letter, Murong Diao explained in detail the importance of this battle to Duan Wu Muchen, who was shocked when he learned that Murong Diao was preparing to fight to the death with the Jin army in Xiangping.

However, this time, Duan Wu Muchen decisively abandoned the dirt between him and Murong Xianbei in the past, and he personally assured the envoy that Duan Bu would never sit idly by. He will send 20,000 elites to Xiangping to participate in the war, and at the same time, in order to convince the Yuwen tribe, he offers to act as a lobbyist in the middle. I hope that this time I can gather the forces of the three families and fight a decisive battle with the Jin army in Xiangping!

Sure enough, under the lobbying of the other two Xianbei, Yuwen Mogui was also rare to be wise. If it weren't for the excessive pressure he was under, he really wanted to send 30,000 elites to support the Murong tribe, but even so, Yuwen Mogui still sent 5,000 elite cavalry to Xiangping with Duan Bu.

It seems that under the pressure of the Jin army. More and more Xianbei people realized that the split Xianbei people were no match for the Han people at all, and it was under these circumstances that the three Xianbei people abandoned their previous suspicions and united to fight to the death against the Jin army.

Xianbei people deserve to be the largest force in Liaodong, and now the total strength of the three Xianbei troops in Xiangping has reached 60,000, plus the original 20,000 defenders of Xiangping, so that the total strength of the Xianbei people has risen to 80,000. With such a large scale of troops and the Jin army, it should be enough for Murong Diao. After all, there were only 30,000 or 40,000 Jin troops in the entire Liaodong Peninsula.

The Great Thorn City and Xiangping were separated by hundreds of kilometers, even if the cavalry marched on a large scale. It will also take several days. And such a large cavalry sortie. It was already discovered by the spies of the Jin army, and immediately reported the matter to Tao Kan, who was in charge of the command of the Jin army's east road.

At the same time, a large number of Xianbei cavalry began to secretly sail to Xiangping, and on the morning of 22 May, Murong Xianbei's main force arrived on the west bank of Liaoshui. Because it is necessary to wait for the arrival of the other two soldiers. They didn't march too fast. Even so, they were able to reach the city of Xiangping in three days.

A day later, the other two Xianbei tribes arrived at Murong Diao's camp one after another, and this time it was Duan Wenyang who came on behalf of the two tribes. It is the younger brother of Duan Piyan, who is only in his twenties this year, and is one of the more courageous people in the Duan Xianbei. Duan Wumuchen was able to send him, which showed that the other party really attached great importance to this battle.

In Murong Diao's marching tent, Murong Diao, Duan Wenyang, Qiyanlou and other Xianbei talents gathered together, ready to discuss the next battle plan.

"Seven Difficult Towers, you first tell me where the Jin army is at this time, according to the speed of the Jin army, the other party should be almost to Xiangping at this time." Murong Diao sat down and asked about his long history.

"Qi Da Danyu, the Tao Kan Department in the east has already passed the martial arts, and it is expected to arrive in Xiangping City tomorrow morning, and it is estimated that it will launch an attack at noon. As for the Jin army in the south, due to the large amount of logistics they carried, the speed of their movement was relatively slow, and it would take them at least five days to reach Xiangping. ”

"In other words, if we launch an ambush on the Tao Kanbu two days later, we will only have two to three days. If they can't eliminate the other party within this time, the reinforcements of the Jin army will arrive quickly. However, although Tao Kan left some troops south of Mazishui, his main force was still there, with a total strength of no less than 20,000 troops. Murong Diao said.

"That's right! We really only have two to three days, and if we remove other factors, we can actually use only two days to fight the Jin army. It is not easy to destroy 21,000 Jin troops in such a short period of time! Qiyanlou replied in a serious tone.

"Hey, if it's going to be difficult, it's difficult! As long as the 20,000 Jin troops can be knocked out, it will definitely deal a heavy blow to the morale of the Jin army, thereby delaying the Jin army's attempt to plot against Liaodong. After all, since the start of the war, the Jin army has won successive battles, if we can break the myth of the Jin army's invincibility in one fell swoop, even if we completely fight out, it will be worth it! Duan Wenyang frowned and made his own suggestion.

"Good nephew! Isn't it just 20,000 Jin troops, it's not a big deal, this time we will fight with the Jin army! Murong Diao also said ruthlessly, saying that he walked to the map and pointed to the east bank of Liaoshui and said: "Everyone, please see, Xiangping is located on the east bank of Liaoshui, and the terrain under the city is flat, which is conducive to our cavalry fighting. This battle is just the right time to play our advantage in cavalry, and we must destroy the Tao Kan at all costs! ”

"Yes!" All the Xianbei generals replied loudly, everyone had a heavy look on their faces, obviously everyone knew the importance of this battle.

Soon the three Xianbei tribes joined up and moved again, they crossed the Liaoshui upstream, and secretly hid twenty miles west of Xiangping City, preparing to ambush the approaching Jin army after a temporary rest.

In order to ensure that the Jin army could be completely annihilated, Murong Diao divided the cavalry force into two, as long as the Jin army arrived, one of the cavalry was responsible for holding the Jin army's butt to prevent the Jin army from escaping, and the other cavalry army was cut off after the Jin army's rear road was cut off, and the defenders in the city jointly besieged and killed the Jin army.

"Da Danyu, after solving the 20,000 Jin troops, there will not be many Jin troops left in the entire Liaodong region. Especially in the eastern part of Liaodong, we can completely recover a large area of land in the eastern part of Liaoshui and the northern part of Mazishui! Qiyanlou said with some excitement. In the entire eastern part of Liaodong, there were only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under the command of Tao Kan, and in addition to dealing with Goguryeo, which was still breathing, there were only 20,000 to 30,000 horses that could be invested in Liaodong County.

"Long history, it's not that simple. Don't forget that there are still more than 10,000 Jin troops in the southern part of the Liaodong Peninsula, and they will definitely not sit idly by once they learn of Tao Kan's ambush. Even the Jin army with other regions will increase the intensity of the attack, and besides, our losses after this battle will not be small, and it is estimated that it is a bit impossible to completely recover the entire Liaodong Peninsula! Murong Diao analyzed very calmly.

"Da Danyu, is our strength a little weak in this battle? You must know that the battle loss ratio between the Huns and the Jin army in Bingzhou is as high as thirty to one! Qiyanlou asked with some concern.

"As far as the defeated soldiers of the Huns are concerned, how can we be brave and brave Xianbei? Besides, if 60,000 Xianbei elite cavalry can't defeat 20,000 Jin troops, do you think it will be useful to send more people over? Don't we need to defend elsewhere? We can sacrifice these 60,000 cavalry for a little respite, and we can't afford any more. Murong Diao said helplessly.

Hearing this, the Seven Tribulation Towers also nodded involuntarily, Murong Xianbei already did not have many troops, if he really dared to transfer all the main forces to Liaodong County, I am afraid that other places would definitely not be able to keep it. With the strength of the Youzhou Jin army, it is estimated that it will be able to take all the lost territory without much effort.

"Da Danyu, our army scouts have found the traces of the Jin army, and the other party does not seem to have discovered our movements yet, they are rapidly advancing towards Xiangping, and they are expected to arrive in Xiangping tomorrow!" A Xianbei herald came in and reported.

"Okay, order the generals to get ready for battle!" Murong Diao immediately ordered, he looked at the endless grassland and thought about his thoughts, Tao Kanjun finally came, and this place in Xiangping would become his burial place.

In Xiangping South, a neat Jin army was marching towards Xiangping in an orderly manner, and Tao Kan was riding on a tall horse, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth. He can basically guess one or two about the movements of the Xianbei people, and after receiving the intelligence from the secret agent of the Military Intelligence Agency, Tao Kan guessed that Murong Diao had hit him with the abacus.

It's not that Tao Kan looks down on Xianbei people, just with Xianbei's strength, don't think about being able to move him if he doesn't have more than 100,000 troops. In the past few years, Tao Kan has been stationed on the Samhan Peninsula and has worked hard to understand Xianbei and Goguryeo, which is why he has been able to win every battle since the start of the war.

Now Goguryeo has been weakened under the attack of the Jin army from the north and south, and recently the emperor Sima Shu also clearly rejected Goguryeo's proposal for peace. As the overall situation of Goguryeo was decided, Tao Kan's goal was aimed at the Xianbei people in Liaodong.

When he deduced that the Xianbei people were planning to ambush the Jin army, he immediately used himself as bait and prepared to plan a decisive battle with the Xianbei people under Xiangping City. Strive to eliminate most of the mobile forces of the Xianbei people in a war, as long as this battle can be won, not only Xiangping is at your fingertips, I am afraid that the entire Liaodong Kingdom will fall into the hands of the Jin army.

"Lord Qiqi, the Military Intelligence Agency has reported that the Xianbei people have all been in place as planned, it seems that we are going to fight a battle this time!" Just as Tao Kan was thinking about his thoughts, the army member walked in and interrupted him with an urgent report.

"Well, according to the speed of the Xianbei cavalry, it's almost time to arrive. Pass the order down and get everyone ready for battle! Tao Kan ordered calmly.

"My lord, don't we really need reinforcements this time? Murong Diao is not simple! To be honest, joining the army didn't quite agree with Tao Kan using himself as bait, but the other party insisted on doing so, and he was powerless to change.

"No, too many troop movements may be detected by Murong Diao, and against 60,000 Hu cavalry, 20,000 Xiang troops are enough!"

For this battle, Tao Kan is extremely confident, on the one hand, he is confident in the combat effectiveness of the Jin army, and on the other hand, he is confident in himself. After so many years of military career, coupled with his own talent, Tao Kan's military literacy has improved rapidly, although he is not as theoretical as an officer from a professional class, but his actual combat experience is definitely comparable to any famous general today!
