Yinshan Mountain starts from the north of Hetao in the west, and reaches Youzhou Dai County in the east, stretching for thousands of miles.

There are two ways to go south from Mobei to Hetao, one is to go south from Manyi Valley through Yinshan Mountain to Hetao, and the other is to cross the river from Yunzhong Pass to the south. The Yinshan Mountains are disconnected here, so it is easier to walk, but the river begins to narrow from the territory of Wuyuan, and even in the dry season in spring, the shallowest part of the river is five feet deep, and the cavalry cannot ride across the river at all.

Unless you continue to detain the pass from the clouds to the south to the West River, cross the river from Caisangjin and enter the Hetao in the west.

However, this road is a bit far, and there are too many variables to cross the Great Wall.

If the Xianbei people just want to go south to plunder, they can naturally grab a lot of money in Yunzhong, Dingxiang, and Yanmen. If the Xianbei people wanted to go south to the Hetao to find Luo Zheng for revenge, they could only cross the Yin Mountain and cross the river from Wuyuan to the south.

Of course, there is another road, that is, from the desert to Beidi County in Liangzhou, and then from Lingzhou to the north to Shuofang, of course, this road is even farther, at least two thousand miles of detour, consumption is a big problem, Xianbei people absolutely can't afford it.

At the northern foot of Yin Mountain, at the entrance of Manyi Valley.

Three thousand wolf cavalry soldiers were strong, and the soldiers were shining, surrounding a mountain.

On the top of the mountain, Luo Zheng stood on horseback, Jia Xu, Fa Zheng, Cheng Ying and other advisers and Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, Yan Xing and other generals also crossed the horse, and were looking at the surrounding terrain to see where they could set up camp and block the Xianbei cavalry.

*

On the steppe as far as the eye can see, the blue sky stretches to the end of the sky.

Looking into the distance, it always makes people open-minded and have a desperate desire to conquer.

This is the entrance to the Manyi Valley, and the earthen col is trumpet-shaped and opens out to both sides. On the right is a series of hills, and on the left is a dense forest that stretches for dozens of miles. It stretched all the way to the valley, wanting to stop the Xianbei cavalry. And only here.

Luo Zheng pointed to a hill behind him and said, "How about going down here?" ”

Jia Xu nodded first: "The mouth of the valley is shrinking here, the Libu soldiers are fortified and not conducive to the cavalry charge, the hill on the left and the dense forest on the right can effectively prevent the Xianbei cavalry from attacking from both wings, and our cavalry can also ambush in the dense forest on the right!" ”

Gao Shun said: "You can set up two camps in the front and back, dig more pits and ravines in the front camp, and lay down antlers, so as to cause a large number of casualties to the Xianbei cavalry as much as possible." When the front camp cannot be defended, retreat to the rear camp. Hold it back with heavy crossbowmen. ”

Luo Zheng thought about it for a while, and then said categorically: "Good, according to Peping's opinion." ”

Liaoxi, as fat as the West Gate.

The earth-shattering drums of war were mixed with the shouts of killing and screams, so that no other sound could be heard between heaven and earth.

Since the tens of thousands of elites under his command were lost, Gongsun Chan was no longer as strong as it used to be, and Yuan Shao had never been defeated in the past two years, and he was defeated in successive battles, and was captured by Yuan Shao after the right Beiping. fled all the way to Sunxi, dying and struggling.

A mile away, in front of the Jizhou army, the flag was unfurled. There are many goldo.

Yuan Shao rode a jujube red war horse, wearing armor and a red cloak. Red and refreshed. Witnessing the heroic soldiers attacking the city, I only felt pride. I couldn't help but want to look up to the sky and howl twice.

There are only more than a thousand remnants in the fat city, and they can be broken overnight.

As long as Feiru is attacked, there will be no place for Gongsun Chan in Youzhou.

As long as Gongsun Chan is killed, the pacification of the four states of Hebei will be just around the corner.

The only one who is like a fish in the throat is the Black Mountain Thief. When Gongsun Chan is destroyed, he will try his best to break the Black Mountain Bandits, otherwise there will be such an uncontrolled group of bandits entrenched in the territory, how can they raise troops south to the Central Plains with confidence.

Just as he was thinking about it, the strategist Xu Yu suddenly urged the horse to gallop over.

"Lord, it's not good!"

Xu You's face was solemn, and he said quickly: "The Black Mountain thief has come down the mountain." ”

"What?"

Yuan Shao almost didn't fall off the horse when he heard this, his angry hair stood up, and he said angrily: "The Black Mountain thief has come down the mountain at this time? ”

"Exactly!"

Xu Yu said in a condensed voice: "This must be done by Gongsun Zhan, please make a quick decision!" ”

Yuan Shao almost vomited blood, seeing that Gongsun Zhan was about to be destroyed, but he was about to fall short.

Damn Black Mountain thieves, when Gongsun Chan is destroyed, he must kill all these thieves before he can vent his hatred.

Tian Feng hurriedly said: "Lord, the city of Fat Ru is about to break, Gongsun Zan is difficult to fly, but General Ju Yi is ordered to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to continue to attack Feiru, and the Lord Duke will personally lead the army back to Jizhou to meet the Montenegrin army." ”

Yuan Shao's spirits perked up, and after a little thought, he said categorically: "Good, just according to Yuan Hao's words!" ”

At the northern foot of Yin Mountain, the mouth of the valley is full of Yi, the flag is flying, and the iron armor is forested.

20,000 Xiliang elite infantry set up camp on the open land at the mouth of the valley, and the soldiers of the three armies sharpened their swords.

The camp is divided into two camps before and after, the middle is separated by more than 200 steps, the inside and outside of the camp are densely covered with flags, tens of thousands of flags of various colors cover the sky and the sun, even if you stand on a high place, you can't see the situation in the barracks at all.

On a high tower in the back camp, Luo Zheng, accompanied by a group of civil and military personnel, was observing the surroundings.

With the continuous escalation of military scale and the continuous evolution of tactics, Luo Zheng, the sovereign, rarely personally led the army to fight in large-scale wars, and only needed to do a good job of centering and letting the soldiers and horses perform their duties.

As for the decisive battle of the troops, charging and killing the enemy, it is good to have Gao Shun, Zhao Yun, Yan Xing and other generals to do it.

If Luo Zheng runs to the front of the battle to command again, it will be putting the cart before the horse, and the generals such as Gao Shun and Zhao Yun will definitely be restrained, not only will it not be conducive to the battle of the army, but it will only be a bad thing.

Amid hurried footsteps, a messenger hurried up the tower.

"Lord!"

The messenger knelt on the ground and said, "The scout has reported that the Xianbei cavalry is camped fifty miles away!" ”

Luo Zheng said 'um', waved his hand and said, "Explore again!" ”

"Yes!"

The messenger answered quickly, got up and ran down the tower.

Jia Xu said: "Lord, it's getting late now, and the Xianbei people shouldn't attack." ”

Luo Zheng nodded and said, "Then go back to the camp, and fight a decisive battle early tomorrow morning!" ”

It's night, Xianbei camp.

Putou, the king of Xianbei, convened all the leaders to discuss the matter of entering the army.

After Tan Shikui's death, his son and Lian succeeded him. Helian was incompetent and incompetent, not enough to unify his people, and the three Xianbei divisions were divided. Jian'an died in three years, his son Qianman was young, and his brother Putou stood on behalf of him, and he commanded the Xianbei people in the central part of the country.

Unexpectedly, just in time for Luo Zheng Najiaxu's proposal, he set up a desperate poison plan to spread the plague to Mobei.

Although only 200,000 people died, the Xianbei population was very small, far less than the Han people, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled could only waste food when they lived, and it was just a matter of dying, but many children also died.

The living conditions in Mobei are extremely harsh, the population is very small, one is the frequent wars, the second is that the survival rate of young children is too low, every five children born, it is good to survive two, so the child can be said to be the hope of Xianbei people.

There are more than 20,000 dead children in Xianbei in the central part of the country, which is an endless blood feud.

And who did this, it is naturally not difficult to guess. Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao have been busy killing each other, so naturally they don't have the time to harm the Xianbei people, and there is only one Luo Zheng left who borders the desert.

Originally, the Xianbei people were not sure, but Luo Zheng swept the Hetao, and the Xianbei people were immediately convinced.

counted and counted, except for Luo Zheng, no one had the merit to provoke the Xianbei people with that guts. Last winter, Luo Zheng even ordered people to set fire to the prairie, causing heavy losses to the Xianbei people and boiling public resentment.

Not long after the new establishment of Putou, many old ministers of Helian were not very convinced, and after all, they were only on their behalf, in name, when Qianman's nursing baby grew up, the position of the king still had to be handed over to Qianman.

grabbed the power in his hand, so he was willing to hand it over.

It happened that Luo Zheng set fire to the prairie again, causing heavy losses to the Xianbei people, and not avenging this revenge was not enough for the people to be angry, Putou wanted to urgently need a victory and military exploits to consolidate his power, so he simply led this hatred to Luo Zheng and gathered all the troops to send troops.

Otherwise, there is not enough reason, and it is not so easy to gather the troops and horses together.

If this dispatch of troops can win a big battle, no one will object to sitting on the throne of the king.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Putou looked around at the tribal leaders under the tent, and said in a deep voice: "Tell me about the situation of the Han army." ”

His younger brother Bu Dugen said: "The Han army has set up camp at the mouth of the Manyi Valley, and if our army wants to enter the Hetao, we must first solve the Han army in the Manyi Valley, otherwise the Han army will be blocked there, and our army will not be able to pass." ”

The general Fu Luo Han said: "Luo Zheng's traitor only has 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses at most, and we have 60,000 cavalry, and it is not easy to level the camp of the Han people." As long as the troops are sent tomorrow, they will kill the Han people without leaving a piece of armor. ”

Several adults, Tuoba Liwei, Kebineng, and Budugen did not speak.

Pu Tou asked, "How many soldiers and horses does the Han army have?" ”

Bu Dugen said: "The Han army is too cunning, and it is full of banners at the mouth of the Manyi Valley, and nothing can be seen in the camp, and I don't know how many soldiers and horses there are." However, according to my estimates, the Han army will not exceed 40,000 at most. ”

Fu Luo Han said: "How dare you guarantee that the Han army will not exceed 40,000? ”

Bu Dugen said: "Luo Zheng's soldiers and horses have not been many, and they are only thirty or forty thousand. I heard that last year, Luo Zheng ordered an increase of 50,000 soldiers and horses, but it has only been a few months, and it is definitely impossible to be so fast, so the Han army should not exceed 40,000. ”

Kebineng also nodded and said: "Yes, although Luo Zheng has a lot of soldiers and horses, but the soldiers and horses of the Han people have to garrison the city to guard against their enemies, it is impossible to transfer all of them to Hetao, and there are already a lot of thirty or forty thousand soldiers and horses." ”

Pumen looked at Tuoba Liwei, who had not spoken, and asked, "Tuoba Liwei, what do you think?" ”

Tuoba Li said slightly: "The Han people are very cunning, and our Da Xianbei warriors are not afraid of fighting to the death with the Han people, but we are afraid that the Han people will use some conspiracies and tricks to make our warriors die in vain." I don't think I can be careless, I will march tomorrow, send 5,000 cavalry first, launch a tentative attack on the Han army's camp, see the reality of the Han army, and then make the next step. ”

Putou pondered for a while and said, "Okay, just do what Tuoba Liwei said." (To be continued......) R1292
