Volume VI Respective Calculations] Chapter 328 The Parties Finally Know and the State is Strong -

A cavalry decisive battle outside Gaonu City finally came to an end, and less than 20,000 of the 40,000 Xiliang cavalry escaped alive in the vanguard of Zhao's army on the western route, and the generals Li Dao and Guo Yan were killed on the spot! [.No pop-up novel reading!]

As soon as the news spread, the army of the western route immediately camped on the spot, not daring to advance further to the north. Dong Zhuo lost two generals, and his heart ached like a knife, and the heavy losses of more than 20,000 jīng sharp cavalry made Dong Fatzi so angry that he couldn't eat a mouthful of food for three days.

Everyone says that the state is strong, and today we know that the state is strong. The reason why Huangfu Song, the commander of the Zhao coalition army on the western road, sent cavalry to pursue Zhao Xing was also to see what kind of combat power the Bingzhou cavalry was, but now that he got the desired result, he couldn't be happy.

Zhao Xing was so ruthless that he actually raised 5,000 heavy armored cavalry to burn such a kind of troops, and he raised them for ten years! Now Huangfu Song finally understood the reason why Zhao Xing had always maintained only 100,000 troops in Bingzhou, and there were 100,000 jīng soldiers to protect Bingzhou, so what was he afraid of?

The eldest son, Huangfu Jianshou, who fought with Huangfu Song, saw that his father was so cautious, so he asked: "Father, if the coalition army is newly defeated, our army will immediately set up camp, won't it seem afraid to merge with the state?"

Huangfu Song shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "Zhao Guochang left his soldiers and horses to intercept the vanguard of the coalition army in Gaonu, but he was afraid that he would be angry with us, so that our soldiers would go to fight with him with a grudge, and he would just fall into the battlefield arranged by his jīng heart, and I am afraid that it would not be a matter of 20,000 cavalry coming to fight a decisive battle with our side." ”

Huangfu Song's subordinate son Huangfu Li opened his mouth and said: "Even if we fight a decisive battle with it, we still have 130,000 troops, and the number of people has an absolute advantage, so what are we afraid of?"

"I don't know if you've ever heard of the battle of Qingniwa?" Huangfu Song patiently taught the two sons and nephews.

Seeing that his son and his son did not answer, Huangfu Song himself replied: "In the battle of Qingniwa, Zhao Guochang relied on less than 30,000 soldiers against 60,000 Xianbei troops, and wiped them out in a battle, although there is a suspicion of boasting and exaggeration, but it is by no means empty X-e wind, with the current situation of intrigue among the coalition forces, can the 130,000 army really be able to resist the counterattack of more than 50,000 soldiers of Zhao Guochang?"

So Huangfu Jianshou and Huangfu Li were speechless.

"The only way to do this is to wait for Taiwei Lu to lead the main force of the middle road to converge, and gather the two armies to win the battle!"

In the Qiang Army, Pang De and Ma Chao were discussing the gap between the Ma Jiajun and the Bingzhou cavalry.

"Meng Qi, now do you know that Zhao Guochang's fierce generals are like clouds?" Pang De asked the young and vigorous Ma Chao with a wicked smile on his face.

"Hmph, we haven't met on the battlefield yet, how can we be sure which is higher and which is lower!" Ma Chao replied a little unconvinced.

"Meng Qi don't be impatient, I say this, not to ridicule you for not being as strong as Zhao Guochang's fierce generals, but to remind you to be careful in the future, and to make every effort to kill thousands of enemies in the state, if you don't pay attention to it, you may miss your feet!" Pang De patiently enlightened Ma Chao.

"Thank you Brother Ling Ming for your kind reminder, Chao wrote it down. Ma Chao also respects this general who is loyal to his father, so he humbly thanked Pang De for his kind reminder.

"This time I came to meet the alliance, but it was just a move to cover people's eyes and ears, and when I came to meet with the Bingzhou army on the battlefield, Meng Qi must not fight with real swords and guns, so as not to harm Zhao Guochang. The state has always been kind to the Ma family, not to mention that when the plague was rampant, the state sent personnel to treat it. In the past few years, the state and Wuwei have been trading and transporting a lot of grain and horses, which has made the Huqiang School Governor's Mansion have the capital to look at Xiliang. If it weren't for the deep hatred involving the seizure of the family and the extermination of the clan, in the future, we would only need to stand by and confront the imperial court......" Pound still took the trouble to remind Ma Chao.

"If one day, the state intends to annex the world, how should the Ma family deal with themselves?" Ma Chao asked a question that everyone didn't want to mention, but it was very realistic.

"Let's talk about the coming day, now the Ma family is still based on self-preservation, and it is better not to fall into this pool of troubled waters. Pound said with some wistfulness.

Yan Yan, who only brought 10,000 Qingqiang soldiers to the alliance, and several lieutenants such as Wu Lan, Lei Tong, Meng Da and Zhang Yi were also discussing the consequences of the Gaonu War.

"Everyone says that the state is strong, but now we know that the state is not only strong, but it is simply strong and worrying. Yan Yan said with emotion.

"Lord Zhou Mu asked us to come to the alliance, just to give the new emperor a face, as long as we don't fight to the death with the state, sooner or later the alliance will end, and we will still return to Shuzhong with 10,000 brothers!" Wu Lan muttered a little. Living in Shuzhong with a warm climate all year round, Wu Lan suddenly came to this windy and sandy northland, Wu Lan was reluctant to stay for one more day.

"The state army is strong, and the Shu army is not weak. There are Yangping Pass, Baishui Pass, Jiange, Zitong and other Xiongguan in Yizhou blocking the road, who in the world can help it!" Lei Tong said indifferently.

"What General Lei said is true, we are also talented in Shuzhong, and there is no shortage of generals who can fight well, so they will not be bullied!" Zhang Yi agreed with Lei Tong's idea of being in a corner of peace.

"You boys, this kind of h-n account will also be said in my account, don't let the state pastor know, be careful of military law!" Yan Yan opened his mouth to scare a few of his subordinates.

Within a few days, the battle report of the Flying Tiger Army and the Blue Wolf Army in Gaonu Dapo West Road Coalition Army was known throughout Bingzhou, and the heads of Li Dao and Guo Yan were also sent to the base camp in Zhongyang. This was the first victory won by the two armies since the war, and it was naturally of great significance, not only greatly boosting the morale of the army, but also stabilizing the people's morale, and also severely damaging the morale of the enemy who dared to offend!

The news reached Kekiseki, and the soldiers lit fireworks to celebrate. Lu Zhi, who learned of the defeat of the Western Route Army, immediately ordered his troops and horses, leaving only Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, and Liu Yan to block in front of Jiguan, and personally led the troops to Beiqu of Hedong County, intending to cross the Yellow River from there to the west to join Huangfu Song, and fight to the death with Zhao Xing in Shangjun.

Since Zhu Jun personally commanded the army to attack the city and failed, both sides stopped for the time being, waiting for the news of the other two route armies. When the news that everyone was looking forward to reached Huguan, the soldiers also lit fireworks and celebrated, while Zhu Jun under the gate immediately gathered the crowd to raise the tent to discuss the military situation, preparing to ruthlessly break the battle that had no progress at present.

This time, Zhu Jun is ready to adopt the method of fighting a war of attrition, and orders all coalition forces to take turns to tackle key problems, and to close the pot to the pile with the number of people!

Yuan Shao and the southern army have all moved with the defenders of Jiguan, and now it is the turn of Gongsun Zhan, who came from the northeast to help in the war, to make a move, this is a military order that cannot be refused, Gongsun Chan had to grit his teeth and take it.

After receiving the order to attack Huguan, Gongsun Zhan immediately returned to the camp of his army and began to discuss strategies with his subordinates Tian Yu, Tian Chou, Xu Rong, and Murong Ping.

"There are only 10,000 soldiers on our side, and it is obviously difficult to reach the sky if you want to capture the Huguan, so it is better to use the trick to lose one or two generals guarding the pass, not only to keep the strength undamaged, but also to have a jiāo to treat the coalition army!"

"The state let (Tian Yuzi might as well elaborate, how to make the generals who guard the pass loss. Gongsun Chan was very interested in this suggestion of the military advisor Tian Yu, so he asked.

"General Murong's archery skills are superb, and he can take the enemy's head three hundred steps away, so why don't you ......arrange it like this," Tian Yu said his thoughts to everyone, attracting everyone's approval, so a plot against Zhao Yun, the master of Huguan, began to gradually approach Huguan under the arrangement of people with intentions.
