In Jixian County, Youzhou, a large number of grain, grass, soldiers and horses are transported here.

Not only the Youzhou Army, but also the generals of the Janissary Army of Chutian have arrived one after another, and the generals of the Youzhou Army, such as Cao Cao, Xu Rong, and Xiahou Yuan, have probably realized what will happen.

Originally, the Central Plains Army was the main attack, and the Youzhou Army defended, but now it has been replaced, the Central Plains Army is on the defensive, and the Youzhou Army is responsible for attacking the Liaoxi Corridor.

"Our goal is the Liaoning West Corridor."

Chutian summoned all the generals of the Youzhou Army, as well as the generals of the Praetorian Guard, Xun You, Guo Jia, Sun Bin and other strategists were also among them.

In addition, there is also Geng Yi, who has newly joined the Youzhou Army.

Chu Tian's finger pointed to the Liaoxi Corridor on the map.

The last time he captured Heluo, he completely suppressed Lao Qin's sphere of influence to the Guanzhong region, and this time, Chutian's goal was to seize the Liaoxi Corridor and suppress the Mingguan's sphere of influence to Liaodong, step by step.

"The three major Xianbei families in western Liaoning, and the three royal tribes of Wuhuan, these tribes will be the biggest obstacle to the occupation of western Liaoning. In the last battle of Youzhou, the three major Xianbei and Wuhuan three kings caused a lot of losses to us and others. ”

"Murong Xianbei's strength can even compete with the tiger and leopard horse."

"In addition to Murong Xianbei, Duan's Xianbei, Yuwen Xianbei, and there are also many generals, each tribe is equivalent to one of our legions. The strength of the Wuhuan tribe is relatively poor, and the victory lies in the large number of people, and Wuhuan is the largest tribe in western Liaoning. ”

Wei Qing explained the situation in Liaoxi to the arriving Chu Tian, and at the same time reminded Geng Yi of the enemies he might encounter.

At present, there are 28 generals in Yuntai, and there are two in Chutian, Feng Yi and Geng Yi, who are already the best among the 28 generals of Yuntai.

"Try to cause contradictions between the three Xianbei tribes and make them infighting."

Chu Tian knew that the three Xianbei tribes were not in harmony with each other, so he wanted to implement a divisive plan and provoke the three tribes to fight among themselves.

Guo Jia said: "The provocation of the three major tribes has already been carried out, Yuwen Xianbei and Duan Xianbei are afraid of Murong Xianbei, and after the various tribes retreat to Liaoxi, in order to compete for pastures, skirmishes broke out, with hundreds of casualties. If it weren't for Mingguan's efforts to suppress several tribes, he might have already started infighting. ”

"It seems that Mingguan's control over the western Liaoxi tribe is even stronger than imagined."

Chu Tian was even more surprised that Xun You and Guo Jia had already secretly provoked Murong, Yuwen, and Duan.

There was constant friction between the three Xianbei tribes, and there was a rift in the Xianbei cavalry alliance.

"If the Liaoxi Corridor is attacked, the Liaodong Army will arrive. The Liaodong Army was more brave and good at fighting than the Liaoxi Army, and King Ming personally led the team. The Liaodong Army had about six or seven elite divisions under its jurisdiction, which were at the same level as the Lord's Praetorian Guard. ”

Wei Qing reminded Chu Tian.

The Liaodong Army in Mingguan is equivalent to the Praetorian Guard of Chutian.

Last time, the two Praetorian Guards failed to break out in Youzhou, but it was meaningless, and the Liaodong Army with Xu Da and Chang Yuchun was comparable to Chutian's Praetorian Army.

"Occupy the Liaoxi Corridor, if you can inflict heavy losses on the Liaodong Army in this battle, then it will not only be the Liaoxi Corridor that will be pacified, but also the entire Liaodong. Therefore, it is better for the Liaodong Army to participate in the battle for the Liaoxi Corridor. And you, be prepared to die on the battlefield. ”

Chu Tian had long been ready to fight to the death with the Liaodong Army.

The Liaodong Army is the strongest legion outside the Guan, and even the Western Regions Protectorate may not be able to compare with the Liaodong Army.

Mingguan itself is also a fierce general who dares to charge, so if you want to defeat Mingguan, you must come up with the most elite cavalry.

"On the west side of the Liaoning West Corridor is Guzhu City, and on the east side is Liucheng, two fortresses, blocking the entrance and exit of the Liaoning West Corridor. Therefore, it is necessary to capture Guzhu City and Liucheng in order to control the Western Liaoning Corridor. King Ming deployed a large number of soldiers and horses in the two cities to strengthen the city defenses and build fortresses, which were easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

Wei Qing continued to explain to everyone the difficulty of attacking the Liaoxi Corridor.

The biggest difficulty is because the Liaoxi Corridor is the sphere of influence of Mingguan, and the Youzhou army is unfamiliar with the place and is passive. At the same time, the distance between western and eastern Liaoxi is actually not short, which is equivalent to an expedition.

"No matter how difficult it is, we must take the Liaoxi Corridor and try to attack Liaodong City to pacify the last force outside the Guan."

"Lord, the initiative is in our hands, when should we start attacking?"

Wei Qing, Cao Cao, Zhou Yafu, Geng Yi and other generals did not look at Chutian, since it was a big war to determine the belonging of the Han Empire, then there must be time.

In the last Northern War, Chu Tian took the initiative to provoke a war, and this time was no exception.

The war of unification of the Han Empire will break out sooner or later, and no one will blame whether it is just or not.

Chu Tian Zhengse said: "After the recruitment of 10,000 Youzhou Turquoise is completed, and the soldiers, horses, and grass of each legion are in place, then march into the Liaoxi Corridor, first take Guzhu City, then take Liucheng, and try to push it to Liaodong City." If possible, capture Lonely Bamboo City. ”

"Yes!"

Chu Tian heard everyone respond in unison, satisfied and thoughtful, he had a faint uneasy premonition: "Submit to me the information you have collected about the Xianbei tribe." ”

……

"King Xia plans to attack Liaodong, and it is estimated that the last time King Ming attacked Youzhou, it angered King Xia."

"To capture Liaodong, we must first take Liaoxi. Liaoxi is the foundation of our Murong Xianbei's life, we can't lose it, is it possible, we want to defend Liaoxi for King Ming? If our Murong tribe really acts like this, not only will we be in the hands of King Ming, but our Murong tribe will also suffer heavy losses. ”

"It's better to leave Liaoxi for the time being, avoid the main force of King Xia, and try to recapture Liaoxi in the future."

At the meeting of the Murong Xianbei tribe, the generals of the Murong family were gossiping.

Youzhou mobilized troops, and the six departments of Liaoxi immediately fell into a panic.

According to various indications, it is very likely that the king of Xia will command the main cavalry to attack Liaoxi.

King Xia had only captured Luoyang not long ago, and now he suddenly changed his troops and marched into western Liaoxi, which surprised the Xianbei tribe and Wuhuan tribe who had little defense.

The Xianbei cavalry and Wuhuan cavalry were originally planning to enter the customs next time, but this time they did not wait for them to enter the customs, but the Youzhou army and the Praetorian Guards of King Xia, who had suffered a small loss not long ago, took the initiative to attack.

King Xia's cavalry was quite terrifying, already above Wei Qing and Huo Quai, and no one knew what strange abilities Chu Tian had obtained from this epic battle.

In fact, Chu Tian really possessed a metaphysical characteristic.

"Silence, brother, what shall we do?"

Murong Ba stopped the noisy generals of the Murong Xianbei tribe, no matter how nervous he was at this time, it was useless, he looked at a figure that he admired.

It is also this person who has a military strategy that is not inferior to Guo Jia and Xun You, so when Murong Ba faced Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Army, he basically didn't worry much about being calculated by Xun You and Guo Jia.

The man said: "When the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, our Murong family should abandon their previous suspicions with the Yuwen family and the Duan family, jointly resist the Xia army, and reduce the losses of our Murong tribe." As for giving up Liaoxi, you can't do it. Losing Liaoxi, there is only one place in Liaodong, how to compete with King Xia in the future? Only by joining forces with King Ming and making a desperate bet can it be possible to turn the tables around, and then take advantage of the chaos to establish a kingdom belonging to Xianbei. ”

Murong Lin, the son of Murong Ba, said: "Not long ago, the Yuwen tribe and the Duan tribe competed with us for pastures in western Liaoning, and each tribe suffered at least a thousand casualties. They have always been at odds with us, so how can we easily put aside our old animosities and fight together against the enemy? If any of the Yuwen tribe and the Duan tribe are treacherous or escape from the battle, our Murong tribe will be wiped out. ”

"Murong Lin, if the people of the three major tribes all think like this, the Xianbei tribes are not far from extinction. I have ordered scouts to investigate, fighting for pastures, killing and wounding thousands of people, it seems that the herdsmen of the three major tribes have a quarrel, but in fact, it is the strategists of the Xia army who are secretly stirring up the relationship between the three tribes, don't fall for it. ”

As soon as Murong Ba's brother's words fell, the Murong Xianbei generals present were all shocked and gasped.

The strategists of the Xia army have already extended their hands to Liaoxi, if it were not for the fact that the Murong tribe also has talents comparable to emperor-level strategists, then the Murong tribe may have been calculated many times.

"Murong Ba and I plan to summon the Duan clan Xianbei and Yuwen Xianbei to form a Xianbei coalition army, and we must not be separated, or broken one by one, and we are vulnerable."

"Duan Xianbei and Yuwen Xianbei, will they come to participate in the coalition formed by our Murong Xianbei?"

"Duan Piyan and Yuwen Yi Dougui, they should be more worried than us at this time. In the last battle with the Youzhou army, the Duan family and the Yuwen family suffered many casualties, they should already know the strength of the Youzhou army, and the cavalry of King Xia will only be stronger than the Youzhou army. They will gladly accept our offer. ”
