After Guo Jia put forward the general strategy for breaking the game, all that remained was the specific deployment of troops and the sword soldiers one after another. No matter how high the strategy is, it is only a lip service, and whether it can be achieved and realized depends on thousands of lives.

Liu He estimated that Gongsun Zhan would not be able to get the news of his return to Youzhou with his troops for a while, and this blind spot could be used to make a big fuss.

Gongsun Zhan mobilized 30,000 elite troops from Qingzhou this time, crossed the Bohai Sea by sea, bypassed Lu Zhi of Jizhou, and after going ashore near Quanzhou, he went west to Zhuo County, cutting off the connection between Youzhou and Jizhou. Judging from Gongsun Zhan's series of decisive and accurate actions, there must be a master behind him to guide and plan, otherwise Gongsun Chan would not have been able to think of such a clever strategy to go and look at the three.

However, there is a saying that smart is mistaken by cleverness, when Gongsun Zhan first sent troops, he would never have imagined that Liu He would choose to break through from Yuan Shao's controlled Bingzhou to the north, and then return to Macheng from Monan by detour, so the more he goes deeper into the hinterland of Youzhou now, the closer he is to death, and there will be no way back to escape at that time!

Without further ado, Liu He didn't care about being tired all the way, and after the discussion was over, he began to adjust the deployment of troops on the western front of Youzhou overnight, and began to lay a net against Gongsun Zhan, who was advancing step by step.

Liu He adopted Guo Jia's suggestion and made a very bold decision, that is, to transfer all the main forces stationed in Gaoliu, Banshi and Beipingyi, and ordered Xu Rong, Xiahoulan and Han Heng to lead their troops to assemble in the vicinity of Zhuo County and Shanggu at the same time. In other words, Liu He was sending troops from the Western Front, which was already very struggling, to deal with Gongsun Zhan, so he was not afraid that the Western Front, which was empty of troops, would be broken through by Yuan Shaojun in one fell swoop?

Of course, Liu He will not ignore the safety of the Western Front, he is going to fight a time difference this time, taking advantage of Gongsun Zhan's ignorance to return to Youzhou, and Yan Liang and Wen Chou thought that they would inevitably strengthen the defense of the Western Front, and concentrated all their forces to take Gongsun Chan in one fell swoop!

Before Liu He returned to Youzhou, Yan Liang and Wen Chou gathered 50,000 troops. It was still impossible to break through Youzhou's western defense line, and now that Liu He led 10,000 elite cavalry to return to Youzhou from under their noses, Yan Liang and Wen Chou naturally thought that Liu He would deal with them next.

Because this time he was going to deal with Gongsun Zhan, and it was very likely that he would kill Gongsun Chan in one step, Liu He appointed Zhao Yun to replace Xu Rong as the supreme commander of the defense of the Western Front, and selected 4,000 Han soldiers from more than 9,000 Youzhou elite cavalry to allocate to him, allowing Zhao Yun to play freely.

When Liu He waved his division south, there were 5,000 Han cavalry and 5,000 Wuhuan cavalry among the 10,000 Youzhou cavalry, and later experienced several fierce battles. The 5,000 Han soldiers lost more than 1,200 people, and the 5,000 Wuhuan cavalry lost more than 1,400 people.

On the way back to the north, this cavalry experienced several battles, and although the losses were slight, there were still hundreds of cavalry buried in a foreign land, and now there were exactly 9,000 horsemen left. Among these 9,000 people, there are about 3,500 Wuhuan cavalry left. The rest were Han Chinese cavalry.

The Wuhuan people were killed very badly by Gongsun Zhan, but they were close and grateful to Liu Yu, who implemented the lenient policy, so Liu He dared to boldly use the Wuhuan cavalry to go south with him. Facts have proved that the Wuhuan people are the easiest to sinicize and control among the many nomads in the north. Historically. The eventual complete demise of the Wuhuan people was partly due to their annexation by other nomadic peoples, and on the other hand, it was also related to their two large-scale southward migrations to the Central Plains.

This time to deal with Gongsun Zhan, Liu He decided to let the Wuhuan cavalry take the lead. In this way, not only can some elite Han cavalry be retained, but also can allow the Wuhuan people to repay the hatred of Gongsun Zhan for bullying them at the beginning.

Zhao Yun was grateful for Liu He's arrangement, because he didn't have to face Gongsun Zan on the battlefield. If Liu He asked him to lead his troops to Dai County. Zhao Yun will definitely not refuse, but there will always be some awkwardness in his heart. Although Zhao Yun had already changed his ways, and it was Gongsun Chan who took the initiative to abandon him at the beginning, but let him personally result in Gongsun Chan, Zhao Yun was still a little unbearable.

Liu He didn't want Zhao Yun to bear the notoriety of killing the lord like Na Lu Bu, which was naturally a manifestation of cherishing Zhao Yun.

In addition to dispatching the main force from the western front to Daixian to intercept Gongsun Zhan, Liu He also prepared to rush to Jicheng in person, and sent troops from Jicheng and Guangyang at the same time to completely cut off Gongsun Zhan's retreat and prevent any small fish and shrimp under Gongsun Chan from escaping from Youzhou.

After writing several letters in one breath, the sky was already slightly bright, Liu He rubbed his eyes that were a little astringent, yawned, and walked out of the camp tent to the courtyard, but he was a little surprised to see his confidant Zhao Yunzheng standing silently under the eaves not far away.

"Zilong, why don't you sleep all night?" Liu He said with some reproach.

"The son didn't sleep, how can he sleep soundly as a subordinate."

"Is there anything you want to say to me alone?"

"I thought about it all night, and I still wanted to say something in my heart."

"Well, you say it, I'll listen carefully."

"Yun implores Gongzi to leave a queen for Gongsun Bogui in the future, and not to exterminate the Gongsun family in Liaoxi."

"Hey, I thought it was something! I don't have any other skills, and I still have a few points in my own measurements. There is a way that the crime is not as good as the family, Gongsun Chan has repeatedly offended me, and he has his own way to die, but these have nothing to do with his people, I only punish the first evil, and will definitely not harm his people. ”

"Thank you for your magnanimity."

"Although I didn't let you go to Daixian this time, the burden on your shoulders is not light at all, I have exhausted the main force, and I will leave you with some wounded soldiers and 4,000 cavalry, which is really difficult for you."

"Childe handed over the battle on the Western Front to me, you can rest assured, Yun will definitely ensure the safety of the Western Front, and will not let any side step into Daijun half a step!"

"Okay, with your words, I'm relieved."

On the morning of this day, Liu He left 4,000 cavalry for Zhao Yun, and left Macheng with his troops in a hurry. The generals who traveled with Liu He mainly included Zhang He, Xu Huang and Murong Ping, and the two people who were Zhao Zhao and Du Ji were left by Liu He to Zhao Yun. Strategists Guo Jia and Tian Chou accompanied Liu He and continued to assist Liu He in commanding the battle.

The rest of the scribes were not in a hurry to accompany Liu He, they would stay in Macheng for a few days to familiarize themselves with the operation of the Wuhuan Captain's Mansion, and then follow Cai Yong to Jicheng by car.

Liu He returned to Youzhou this time, although he didn't bring many reinforcements, but the talents he brought back were all capable and useful, as long as they were put in the right position, it was definitely better than tens of thousands of troops.

A day later, Xu Rong, who was guarding Takayanagi, met Zhao Yun, who had led an army to replace him.

Zhao Yun handed Liu He's handwritten letter to Xu Rong, and after reading it, Xu Rong said with emotion: "Childe is really a genius!" Unexpectedly walked out of such a wonderful line, Gongsun Chan and his ilk are so afraid compared to Gongzi and Gongzi! ”

Since Liu He intended to let Zhao Yun take over his role in guarding the Western Front, Xu Rong immediately handed over to Zhao Yun, and then led 7,000 infantry to Daixian.

Half a day later, Cheng Xu, who was guarding Beipingyi, received a letter from Liu He.

Knowing that Gongzi had returned to Youzhou safely, Cheng Xu was naturally overjoyed, he immediately called Han Heng over, let Han Heng read Liu He's letter in person, and then allocated 5,000 infantry to Han Heng, ordering him to rush to Daixian County to join Xu Rong's troops.

Half a day later, Xiahoulan, who was guarding Ban's, received a letter from Liu He.

Xiahoulan, who has always been introverted and calm, was very emotional when she learned that Liu He was about to launch a counterattack, and he said to Liu Fang: "We have been struggling here for months, and we have finally waited for Gongzi back, and this time it is finally our turn to make a move!" ”

Liu Fang was also very excited, he said: "Although General Xiahou led his troops to Dai County to help in the war, the Ban clan has me to stay, don't worry!" ”

Xiahoulan immediately reorganized his troops and horses, and led 5,000 foot soldiers to Dai County.

During the period when Xu Rong, Han Heng, and Xiahou Lan successively led their troops to Dai County, the assembly place, Zhao Yun led 4,000 cavalry out of Gaoliu City to the west into Yanmen County, Bingzhou, and fought against the defender Wen Chou under Baideng City.

Wen Chou, who had been a captive for more than half a year, had never fought with Zhao Yun, and was captured because the army was defeated and distracted, and he was smashed by a flying halberd from Tai Shici. Now that Wen Chou saw that a guy who looked a little like Tai Shici dared to come and shout, the anger in his heart could no longer be contained, so he led his army out of the city to fight Zhao Yun.

After Zhao Yun saw Wen Chou leading the army out of the city, he immediately ordered his cavalry to go and shoot, using the "Mangu Gang" tactic researched by Liu He, and the result was naturally to make Wen Chou angry half to death.

Wen Chou suffered a loss and hurriedly led the army back to Baideng, but Zhao Yun asked the soldiers to turn their horses' heads and follow behind Wen Chou's army to continue to release cold arrows and burst chrysanthemums.

Wen Chou was furious and ordered his troops to turn around and face the battle, but Zhao Yun took his soldiers to the east to avoid it, not giving Wen Chou a chance to engage in close combat.

After teasing Wen Chou a few times, the Yuan army that died under the bow and crossbow of the Youzhou cavalry actually suffered thousands of casualties, while the soldiers under Zhao Yun were unscathed.

Wen Chou, who suffered a big loss, felt that Zhao Yun was a despicable and shameless villain, so he sent a messenger to make an appointment to fight, proposing to fight with Zhao Yun in front of the battle.

Zhao Yun, who seemed to have never lost in the single-handed, smiled happily at Wen Chou's invitation and agreed to have a righteous and bright singles fight with Wen Chou in a flat place between Bai Deng and Gao Yanagi.

When Liu He led the army to Jicheng, Zhao Yun and Wen Chou's fight began as promised, and the unlucky Wen Chou had not yet displayed his whole body kung fu, and was knocked off his horse by Zhao Yun with a shot when he was more than 50 moves, and then became a prisoner again.

Wen Chou was captured, Zhao Yun took advantage of the victory to pursue the Yuan army out of the city, and hit Bai Deng City in one breath, and then left.

Wen Chou's deputy general, Han Qiong, claimed to be the nephew of Han Rong, the gun king of Hebei, and witnessed the process of Zhao Yun picking up Wen Chou, and after he fled back to Baideng City, he no longer dared to show off to others that he was a closed disciple who had obtained the true inheritance of Han Rong's marksmanship.

Zhao Yun didn't wait for the Daixian War to begin, so he severely demoralized the Yuan army on the Western Front, and captured a member of the Yuan army's generals, so Liu He no longer had any worries. (To be continued......)
