When Tang Meng saw Zhao Yun, he lowered his head and twisted a little, obviously because he didn't complete the task, and he looked embarrassed.

Zhao Yun didn't blame Tang Meng, but comforted and said: "You are allowed to attack the enemy camp at night, just to probe the depth of the enemy army, you can see the opportunity to retreat and bring the troops back, which is not bad." ”

Tang Meng said with trepidation: "General, it seems that the thief chief who came this time is not easy to deal with. After I took my brothers out of the north gate, I first walked more than ten miles to the north, and then walked more than ten miles to the east, and then approached the camp of the Xianbei people to the south, but before the distance that the arrows could shoot, thousands of Xianbei people rushed out, as if they had been waiting for us in the camp for a long time! ”

Zhao Yun instructed his two subordinates and said: "The Xianbei people are not all stupid, the leaders of various tribes, in order to lead their clansmen to survive in the harsh and harsh grassland, have developed a keen intuition of danger, although they have not learned advanced tactics of war, but they are like jackals who are good at seizing opportunities and cooperating with battles. Do not be arrogant and look down on these cunning and alert Xianbei people because of the victory of the last attack on the surrendered city. Past victories do not mean the present, let alone the future. ”

"No cunning jackal can fight a clever hunter! There are generals in Baishan City, and many Xianbei people are dead! It was rare for Chihu to say a philosophical sentence, but the latter sentence turned into Chiguoguo's sycophant.

Du Ji asked: "General, the Xianbei people are still gathering, how should we deal with it next?" ”

"If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. The more Xianbei people came this time. Next year, the smoother our army's eastward expedition to Liaodong will be! Zhao Yun said something that was a little incomprehensible.

Ma Cheng, Liu He's residence, is as warm as spring.

Because Liu He often came to Macheng to inspect and live for a period of time. Therefore, the city retains the mansion where he lived when he first came to Macheng, although it does not occupy a large area, but it has been renovated, and there are soldiers who are responsible for guarding and cleaning it in peacetime, which is a holy place in the minds of the entire Macheng military and civilians.

Guo Jia, Tian Chou, Xia Houlan, Liu Fang, Xu Miao and others sat opposite Liu He, while Liu He sat in the chair behind the desk. At this time, the room was quiet, and everyone was thinking intently.

Liu He carefully read the urgent report that Zhao Yun asked Kuaima to send back. He said, "It's getting more and more lively now! Although we expected that the Xianbei people in the east might collude with Kebineng, this time the old thief Suli was willing to let Cheng Lugui and Micah lead an army of 30,000 to respond to Kebineng, which is a big deal! I originally wanted to use White Mountain Castle as bait. Let's see if we can catch a fish or two, but this time there is a giant shark, tell me, what should I do? ”

Guo Jia seems to have expected it a long time ago. Immediately said: "If Su Li let Cheng Lugui and Micah lead the army directly south to attack Liaoxi County. It could cause us problems, because then we would have to fight on two fronts, east and west. Now that Cheng Lugui and Micah have gone to the Western Front to join in the fun with Kebi, then don't blame us for being polite, this time we must solve the 30,000 people in the eastern Xianbei! ”

"Let's talk about your specific idea, 30,000 Xianbei thieves are not 30,000 pigs, fight them on the grassland, and if they make a slight mistake, they can get away with it." Liu He motioned to Guo Jiaxiang to be more specific.

Guo Jia explained: "There are currently 10,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Baishan City. There are still 10,000 elites on standby on the Western Front, and the Youyan Army and the Zhenbei Army each have 3,000 cavalry. The Dragon and Tiger Guards who stayed in Jicheng had 4,000 light cavalry and 2,000 guard battalions, and if the 10,000 Xiao cavalry guards on standby and the cavalry of the remaining three armies were all gathered together, we would have a full 20,000 cavalry that could be maneuvered, and then add up to 10,000 soldiers and horses in Baishan City, that would be 30,000 cavalry. With 30,000 horsemen against 30,000 horsemen, we are at least seventy percent sure of victory, because there are no wise and brave generals like Zhao Zilong and Zhang Junyi among the Xianbei people! ”

Tian Chou questioned: "If the 10,000 Xiao cavalry guards and 3,000 Youyan troops stationed on the Western Front are transferred, the strength of the Western Front will be reduced from 40,000 to 27,000. Without the highly mobile cavalry roaming the 400-mile line of defense on the Western Front, how can we deal with the attack of Kobineng? ”

Xiahou Lan also said: "There are only six thousand troops left in Jicheng now, although Youzhou is stable and united, and Jicheng is not too threatening, but if the light cavalry under the four thousand Dragon and Tiger Guards is transferred out, and only two thousand soldiers of the Guards Battalion are used to defend Jicheng, is it too risky and radical?" ”

Guo Jia used a strategy, always taking one step and looking at three steps, and naturally knew that Tian Chou and Xiahou Lan were not having trouble with him, but that there were indeed hidden dangers in these aspects, so he said: "It seems that the two of you are not opposed to the proposal of sending troops to Baishan and annihilating Chenglugui and Micah's 30,000 Xianbei troops, what you are worried about is the safety of the Western Front and the safety of Jicheng after the cavalry of each army is transferred, right?" ”

Everyone nodded in unison, agreeing with Guo Jia's statement.

"During the period when the 13,000 cavalry on the western front was transferred, the Wuhuan tribe in the upper valley could provide 5,000 men and horses to temporarily replace them, and the main role was only to increase the momentum and make the enemy in the west unable to figure out the truth and reality. Sun Li is now leading 4,000 Dragon and Tiger Guard infantry to garrison Juyong Pass, and he can appoint Master Cheng to go to Juyong Pass to temporarily replace Sun Li, so that Sun Li can lead 2,000 infantry back to Jicheng, and there are 4,000 infantry in Jicheng to defend, which is enough to ensure safety. ”

After Sun Li returned to Jicheng, he immediately led four thousand light horsemen to Diping, Yuyang, to join Li Meng, the deputy general of the Zhenbei Army, and then crossed Baitan Mountain to the north, cruising around the big bend of the water, cutting off the back road of the Xianbei people to retreat eastward! After the support of Shanggu Wuhuan arrived on the western front, General Zhang He led 13,000 cavalry from Ningcheng to the north, avoiding Baishan City, and making a detour back to Baishan City 100 miles northeast of Baishan City, cutting off the retreat of the Xianbei people to the north. After the eastern and western armies entered the ambush area, Cheng Lugui and Micah put on their wings, and they couldn't escape the bright silver spear in General Zilong's hand! ”

Guo Jia really deserves to be the first think tank in front of Liu He's account, and the overall plan he said to encircle and annihilate Cheng Lugui and Micah has taken almost all factors into account, as long as the main generals who lead the team to the expedition are strictly implemented in accordance with his plan, it is only a matter of time before they win the victory.

Liu He looked at the large topographic map on the wall. Carefully recalling the plan proposed by Guo Jia just now, he added: "Fengxiao's plan can be implemented, but there are two points that need special attention. One. How to achieve the timely transmission of information between the eastern and western reinforcements and the defenders in Baishan City? If the troops of the three routes cannot be coordinated, it will be a taboo in the division of troops, and not only will it not have the effect of encirclement and annihilation, but it may be broken by the enemy army one by one. Second, after the defeat of the enemy's sailors, he broke through from the direction of Quang Ninh and directly crossed the White Mountain. Then the encirclement was highlighted. This time, if Cheng Lugui and Micah were blocked from retreating, would they jump over the wall and break into the territory of Upper Valley from the north of Baishan. And then escape from the direction of Yuyang? ”

After listening to Liu He's words, Guo Jia replied to himself: "If it were someone else, I was afraid that it would be difficult for the three-way troops to cooperate, but General Zilong and General Junyi had a lot of cooperation when they went to Chang'an with Gongzi. In addition, although the cavalry of each army has its own subordination. But they are all from the training regiment in Ningcheng, which was personally trained by General Zilong, so there is no problem that the soldiers do not know the generals and the generals do not know the soldiers. The Xianbei people in the east were not familiar with the terrain in the north and south of Baishan, and as long as the 7,000 horsemen who intercepted the enemy on the east road did not appear early, they would definitely go directly to the east when they retreated, and would not risk crossing Baishan to the south. It's just that Sun Li and Li Meng led 7,000 cavalry to intercept the Xianbei people who fled for their lives, and the troops were slightly weak. At the same time, the two are not familiar with each other, and how to cooperate is a problem......"

"This problem is easy to solve! Let Xu Rong go out in person. Sun Li followed as a lieutenant general, and the Zhenbei Army was guarded by Li Meng and Tian Yu. Liu He is best at employing people, so he immediately adjusted Guo Jia's plan.

"The East Route troops have Xu Rong personally out of the horse, so it is more secure. If necessary, even the infantry of the Zhenbei Army can be used to build a second interception line on the road where the Xianbei people retreated. Guo Jia completely agreed with Liu He's adjustment.

"General Zhang was originally in charge of the Ban clan to the Takayanagi line, if he led the army north, who would take over his mission?" Xu Miao asked coldly.

"Hiss......" Liu He felt a little toothache, not to mention, this is really a problem. The Western Front is now full of forces from all sides, and the total strength of Youzhou, Bingzhou and Xianbei people adds up to more than 100,000, and Zhang He was transferred from Jizhou to the Western Front to make up for the vacancy after Zhao Yun left. If Zhang He is also transferred, there will be one less general on the Western Front, just like a fence that has been sucked away by the force.

"After General Zhang left, General Xiahou and I went to Gaoliu, and Gongzi continued to sit in Macheng, which can ensure that the western front is safe." Guo Jia took the initiative to ask Ying, but this time he wanted to separate from Liu He.

Liu He thought that when he didn't have Guo Jia at the beginning, he could beat Ke Bineng's nose and face were swollen, and now that he has Guo Jia as a military advisor, although he is invincible and much easier, he doesn't necessarily have to tie Guo Jia to his side all the time. Liu He himself has been growing and improving over the years, if Liu He didn't have a few brushes, how could he check and fill in the gaps after Guo Jia finished talking about the strategy just now?

"Okay, that's it! Fengxiao, you immediately reply to Zilong, inform him of our ideas, and let him be ready to dispatch the three troops and horses at the same time; Zitai, immediately draft a plan for the transfer of troops and quickly distribute the relevant troops; Jingshan, you go with me to Juyong County, let's give the old patriarch of that building a New Year's greeting! Ziqi, you will start preparing the logistics and equipment supply of 13,000 cavalry to the north now, the task I gave you last time was done well, and this time make persistent efforts! Yuan Qing, as the person in charge of the Department of Internal Affairs, now you have to think about how to manage the reinforced Wuhuan cavalry after they come to the Western Front, don't let these bears break the rules, if there are too many guys who cut off their brains, I am afraid that the patriarch of Nalou will have opinions. ”

Liu He finished assigning tasks to his subordinates in one go, and he felt refreshed and very satisfied. After all these years of accumulation and development, Youzhou has finally reached the stage where it can send a large number of cavalry into the grassland to fight with the Xianbei people, as long as this battle is won, it will greatly deter the Xianbei people in the east, and at the same time clear the land obstacles for attacking Gongsun Du.

A few days later, Zhang He first received the military order, and after reading it carefully, he said to himself: "Youzhou, it's time for a big victory." This time I have to fight side by side with Zilong, it's really exciting! ”

Sun Li then also received the military order, and he said to Cheng Xu who came to replace him with some excitement: "Master Cheng, there is you here!" I have been guarding Juyong Pass for more than a year, but I can be suffocated, and this time I can finally fight a good fight! ”

Zhao Yun soon received a secret letter from Guo Jia, and smiled with satisfaction after reading it.

"Feng Xiao really saw my thoughts, as long as Cheng Lugui and Micah are solved this time, the situation will be completely opened, and Gongzi will be the real overlord of the north from now on! (To be continued......)
