Chapter 397: Sending Troops

The army is out of the customs, and this news must be the most important.

Yu Wentai also knew that there were Rouran spies in the pass, so he asked the generals to strictly restrain their subordinates, and all arrangements such as training were as before, so that outsiders could not see any clues.

The soldiers waited to go out of the customs to kill the enemy, and they just endured it and endured it like this.

The detailed arrangements of the army were soon transmitted to Jiuquan, and Yuan Ke also felt that this matter was feasible after seeing Yuwentai's operational deployment, so he ordered Huaihua general Yan Bingchu to lead 30,000 troops out of the northeast of Jiuquan, and two days later advanced side by side with Hou Mo Chen Jingbu.

Because the Xuan Wu troops stationed on the front line had a natural disadvantage in numbers, Yuan Ke gave Yan Bingchu great freedom to lead the troops, and if the opportunity was right, he could directly join forces with Hou Mo and Chen Jing's troops without reporting.

Although the strength of the Wu Department is behind in the Eight Tents of Rouran, if it can be won in one fell swoop, the army's morale will be greatly boosted.

Yuan Ke, who is on the front line, is still busy with government affairs every day, precisely because he knows that as long as he slacks off for half a minute, the handling of court affairs will be delayed for a longer time, so he lives in seclusion every day and has little leisure time.

In addition to Zhou Haisheng, who was in charge of his safety, there was only one young eunuch named Dongwan.

Dongwan is also a hard-working person, and it was very accidental that Yuan Ke rescued him at the beginning.

Dongwan has no surname, only the name of his hometown, according to Dongwan's words, he is afraid that he will forget where his home is after a long time.

In fact, Yuan Ke didn't quite understand Dongwan's obsession, obviously that home had no warmth to him, but he still didn't want to forget it.

Yuan Ke spent the longest time with Dongwan on weekdays, and whenever he was short of dealing with government affairs, he would chat with Dongwan for a few words.

Dongwan has been by Yuan Ke's side for a long time, and there is no difference between the two of them, just like friends, they can say anything.

Although Yuan Ke is now an emperor, he doesn't have any emperor frame here in Dongwan, and the simple Dongwan actually still regards Yuan Ke as the high-spirited young noble son at the beginning.

chatting with Dongwan, such a simple calm is rare for Yuan Ke today.

In the morning, after receiving Yuwentai's excerpt, Yuan Ke immediately responded, and after that, he simply ate something and kept reviewing the excerpt.

It wasn't until noon that Yuan Ke felt a little tired, so he leaned back on the edge of the chair to rest for a while.

Yuan Ke wanted to call Dongwan in to add a cup of tea to himself, but before he could speak, Dongwan had already walked in from outside, still holding something in his hand.

Yuan Ke didn't care much about what he was holding, and when he saw Dongwan, he said, "Come and add a cup of tea to me, but I'm tired to death."

Hearing this, Dongwan quickly stepped forward two steps, and he said as he walked, "Your Majesty, here is an excerpt from Luoyang."

There are excerpts in the capital almost every day, so Yuan Ke is no longer surprised, he patted the table with his hand and signaled Dongwan to put the excerpts down.

Seeing this, Dongwan put down the fold in his hand and added tea to Yuan Ke.

After that, he said slowly: "Your Majesty, one of these two excerpts is from Lord Taiwei, and the other is from Lord Lu, and the messenger said that the two lords asked Your Majesty to receive the excerpts and read them earlier."

Hearing this, Yuan Ke opened his lightly closed eyes, his eyebrows lowered and glanced at the two folds he had just put down, and he immediately asked, "But what happened in the capital? Lord Taiwei, they can pay back their own folds for the first time."

Hearing this, Dongwan shook his head and said, "I don't know the specific matter, but it doesn't seem to matter if I look at the person who sent the letter."

When Yuan Ke heard this, he smiled and said, "It is definitely not a simple matter for the two of them to be able to write one letter each. That's it, I'll take two sips of tea and see."

After that, Yuan Ke took a few sips of tea before getting up, and it was a little bitter.

Tea is not something Yuan Ke likes, he still likes to drink sweet, but tea can improve him has to drink.

After that, Yuan Ke began to flip through the folds handed over by Yuan Shuang and Lu Wenmiao, while Dongwan waited quietly on the side.

Looking at Yuan Shuang's excerpt, Yuan Ke carefully read it and found that it was related to the border affairs of the southwest, and he didn't pay attention to this matter before, but at present, he was still careless in how he handled it at that time.

Yuan Shuang has listed all the specific matters concerning the formation of the Autumn Army, and there are all the details about the number of troops transferred from various counties at the beginning, the selection of the first batch of generals, the selection of generals for the unified army, and the cost of food and salary for the army.

Yuan Ke patiently flipped through it and didn't feel annoyed, he looked at it from top to bottom, especially in the selection and deployment of generals, which is the key. Yuan Shuang did not have any selfish intentions in this matter, and the group of generals selected had no background, but their abilities were outstanding.

After reading the whole article, Yuan Ke also felt that there was no problem, so he directly used the zhu pen to approve it.

The matter of the first excerpt was quite stable, so Yuan Ke did not have any burden before opening Lu Wenmiao's excerpt.

The excerpt of the imperial historian Lu Wenmiao is much simpler in terms of content, and there is nothing superfluous on it, just one sentence: Your Majesty, you should return to Beijing.

There is also a line of small words on the back, which says that the prime minister also means the same.

This is not the first time that Yuan Shuang has drunk Lu Wenmiao to urge Yuan Ke to return to Beijing, so when he saw this excerpt again, Yuan Ke was a little big.

He also knew that this was a real problem, but he was a little unwilling to make no progress so far.

In the first battle after he ascended the throne, Yuan Ke was high-spirited and wanted to force Rouran back to the desert and return the border to peace for at least ten years.

Such an idea is naturally good, but Luoyang still has a lot of government affairs waiting for him to deal with, and he can't do it and ignore Luoyang's affairs.

Yuan Ke was stunned for a long time after reading it, and then he put down the fold in his hand and did not approve it.

Dongwan, who was on the side, felt that the emperor seemed to be depressed, so he asked, "Your Majesty, don't you have anything to worry about, something happened in the capital?"

Yuan Ke smiled bitterly: "There is nothing wrong with the capital, but they have begun to urge me to return to Beijing again, and this time even Cui Gong has also expressed his position."

After Yuan Ke finished speaking, he didn't expect Dongwan to say directly: "Your Majesty, it's time for you to return to Beijing."

Yuan Ke was suddenly a little surprised when he heard this, he turned his head to look at Dongwan and smiled: "Dongwan, didn't you also receive a message from the two of them, so you should also persuade me together?"

Dongwan shook his head and smiled, "No. The slave thinks that Your Majesty has been in the border area for long enough, and it is safer to return to Beijing to deal with a large number of political affairs, and secondly, for your safety."

The focus of Dongwan's meaning is still the second half of the sentence.

It is not difficult to understand that Yuan Ke was in Jiuquan as the main general of Yuwentai, who had to ensure that Jiuquan City had enough defenders, which also limited the deployment of the army to a certain extent.

Thinking of this, Yuan Ke sighed, although he is an emperor, he can't help himself in front of some things.

Yuan Ke smiled bitterly and said, "Let's delay it for a few more days, at least wait for General Yuwen's dispatch to end this time."

Dongwan knew Yuan Ke's ambitions, so he didn't say anything after that, the emperor knew better than him in his heart, he didn't need to draw snakes.

Time flickered, and two days passed quietly.

On the eve of the army's departure, Yangguan, Yumen Pass and Jiuquan were quietly sealed down, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

The spies in the three places finally sensed the imminent movement of the Great Wei army at this moment, but the Wei army sealed the city in advance and made it impossible for them to transmit the news back to Beimangshan.

At this moment, after the news spread, Baturu ordered the three armies to raise their vigilance, and the scouts who dispersed should pay close attention to the movements of the Wei army.

Since you see the enemy as such, you must be fully prepared.

Tonight, Baturu also called a group of generals over, and Yu Jiulu Rongzhi, Yuan Zhen, Yan Lanzhou and others were impressively listed. Yu Jiulu Rongzhi has been busy with the affairs of the sword collector in recent days, so she didn't pay much attention to the confrontation between the two armies, but she did a brief understanding before coming tonight, and also realized that the decisive battle between Dawei and Rouran was about to begin.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, a group of people sat in two columns, and the seats of Yuan Zhen and Yan Lanzhou were also very high.

Baturu first briefly explained many reasons to the crowd, and also said what Dawei might do.

There are pros and cons to the fact that the Rouran army is now divided into three places, especially in the current situation

It is susceptible to bag clamping.

Therefore, Baturu decided that the Chinese army and horses should also gradually spread to the two wings, so as not to cause a situation where the other two places could not be taken into account.

Rouran's side is similar to Da Wei, and the long-term stalemate has long made them want to experience the feeling of fighting heartily, so everyone is excited when they know that the big war is coming.

In the account, it is said that Yuan Zhi and Yan Lanzhou must be the most familiar with the understanding of the Wei army, so Baturu asked Yuan Zhi about the possible combat deployment of Yuwentai, and Yuan Zhi also said what he thought.

The Wei army is powerful, and there is no fear in the face of Rouran's army, which is actually a point that Rouran needs to pay attention to.

The high morale of the army also greatly helped the battle situation, and the fearlessness of the Wei army was likely to greatly reduce the careful arrangement of everything.

A discussion until late at night, the most important thing is naturally the deployment of one's own side.

The specific matters and personnel arrangements Baturu have been clarified one by one, and the tasks have also been specifically arranged for everyone.

In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was still bright, the defenders of Yangguan and Yumen Pass were led by Yuwentai, Gao Huan and Hou Mo Chen Jing to go out of the pass in three teams.

Gao Huan and Hou Mo Chen Jing both led 10,000 troops, and went straight to their respective goals with light equipment.

The Chinese army led by Yu Wentai sent 20,000 troops, and the rest were stationed in the pass.

Gao Huan and Hou Mo Chen Jingbu were the focus of this operation, so the whereabouts of the two teams were extremely hidden.

On the other hand, the march of the Chinese army led by Yu Wentai was much more high-profile, so not long after dawn, the slow Chinese army was discovered by the Rouran scouts.

The slow movement of the Chinese army is Yuwentai's order, and he asked the rear army to pull up the momentum, and must see the scene of the military flag fluttering and dusty, Yuwentai wants to give the Rouran scouts a false impression, to make them think that there are a lot of troops.

Since the scouts didn't dare to get too close to the army, they were really deceived by Yuwentai's strategy.

The scouts sent back the news that Yuwentai, the general of the Great Wei, personally led a large army out of the pass and marched towards Beimangshan, and the number should be about 50,000.

When the news reached the camp, Baturu immediately mobilized the whole army, and he wanted to personally lead the troops to meet the old opponent for a while.

However, Baturu also has doubts in his heart, and it is obviously impossible for 50,000 people to want a decisive battle, so Baturu also wants to see what kind of medicine is sold in Yuwentai's gourd.

At the same time, Gao Huan and Hou Mo Chen Jing's troops were marching rapidly, especially Hou Mo Chen Jing, he thought that there was a high probability of eating the Wu troops in one fell swoop this time, so he had to seize the opportunity to be ashamed.

At the same time, Hou Mo and Chen Jing sent a message to Yan Bingchu, who also sent troops from Jiuquan.

Yan Bingchu is also a veteran, and he knows between the lines that Hou Mo Chen Jing wants to eat a bite.

And Yan Bingchu also has this intention, if the lonely soldiers don't dare to eat, then they will fight for so many years in vain.

And since it is beaten, it is necessary to beat Rouran at once.

Therefore, he made an appointment with Hou Mo Chen Jing, and Hou Mo Chen Jingbu marched to the northeast garrison, and the actions of the army would definitely be noticed by the Wu troops in the end. Yan Bingchu led the army to make a big circle from the east to the north, and finally went around to the rear of the Xuan Wu Department, and fought back and forth with Hou Mo and Chen Jing.

This is actually not a simple layout, Hou Mo Chen Jing and Yan Bingchu must cooperate precisely, not only to let Hou Mo Chen Jing be discovered first, but also to let Hou Mo Chen Jing focus on himself, which is a test of Hou Mo Chen Jing's ability.
