Chapter 227: Deception
Cangting was shocked by the battle.
Yin Hao's 30,000 forwards stationed in Shouchun retreated to Hefei again, temporarily avoiding Ran Wei's edge, which relieved Zhang Yu.
The army of the Yan Kingdom in western Liaoning also shrank in the Dragon City, not daring to move.
And the biggest impact was Fang Tou Fu Jian, and Liu Guo on the way north.
Liu Guo led 40,000 foot cavalry to retreat to Fanyang.
Fanyang is a good place, across the Yellow River from Puyang.
In the third year of Qin II, Qin general Zhang Han besieged Zhao Julu, Xiang Yu was ordered by Emperor Yi and Song Yi to lead troops to rescue Zhao, and went to Fanyang to sit and watch the success or failure, Xiang Yu killed Song Yi in the tent, and his army, crossed the Zhanghe River in the north, wrapped in grain for three days, broke the cauldron and sunk the boat, nine battles were desperate, defeated Zhang Han, and killed 200,000 Qin soldiers.
"Liu Guotun's troops are here, do you want to emulate the overlord and break the boat?" Cui Jin was slightly behind Li Yue by a horse's head.
"How can he be compared to an overlord? It's just a reservoir dog! Li Yue said with a smile.
This time, Chen left 15,000 Heiyun troops, plus 8,000 Yanzhou troops, and then requisitioned and transferred various southern armies, with a total strength of more than 35,000.
To the north, Fu Jian's Di army moved south, attacking from both sides.
After the Battle of Cangting, Ran Wei was in the middle of the day, and Fang Tou was restless, and took the initiative to urge Li Yue to raise troops.
Crossing the Yellow River, the prosperous solar calendar is vivid.
However, the land of Hebei is a bleak and barren land, it is the spring ploughing season, the fields are overgrown with barren grass, on both sides of the road, you can see rotting corpses everywhere, the stench is stinking.
Hebei has been fighting one after another, attacking and killing everywhere, and no one has cultivated with peace of mind.
"The Lord of Wei is brave and good at fighting, but there are millions of Hu people in Hebei, if you don't operate, I'm afraid it will be difficult to last long." Cui Jin sighed.
Although Ran Wei dealt a heavy blow to the Hu people in Hebei and let the Chinese people see the light of day again, Zhuhu settled in Hebei for thirty or forty years, after two generations, the foundation has been solid, and it is by no means something that can be slaughtered in one or two wars.
It's bound to be a long process.
"Let's see what Ran Min does next." Li Yue looked at the clear blue sky and thoughtfully.
The Battle of Cangting still did not change Ran Wei's strategic dilemma.
Ran Min's martial arts have reached their peak, and the next step is to test his cultural governance.
"Governor, there is a messenger in Fanyang!" The scout rode his horse to give a report.
All drew their swords, and Liu Guo sent a messenger at this time......
Cui Jin said: "I must have come to beg for mercy." ”
"He's not an honest man, so he won't be tied up."
In the battle of Liang and Qian, Liu Guo withdrew from Luoyang, preserved his strength, and threw the mess to Li Nong.
Shi Zun seized the throne, and he decisively abandoned Shi Shi, Liu, and Zhang Jackal, and threw himself into Shi Zun's command.
Now that Yecheng and Xiangguo are in battle, he is standing in line with Shiyi again, and he is in a hurry to attack Yecheng in the north.
It's a pity that the opponent he met was Ran Min, who did it with a knife, and the battle of Cangting, a quick knife cut through the chaos, and in less than 20 days before and after, the winner was divided......
made Liu Guo's wishful thinking come to naught.
A moment later, the envoy of Liu Guo came, although he was a Huns, but he spoke fluently in the northern Han dialect, "The governor and my family have always been harmonious, but why listen to his daily provocation, and the sword and soldiers meet each other?" ”
"Your Excellency misunderstood, this time the troops were not provoked by others, but the situation in Hebei was complicated, Liu Tingshi was trapped in Fanyang, and he lost his ground, so he came here to deliberately answer the assassin Shi to go south, so you don't need to be suspicious, quickly open the city gate." Li Yue opened his eyes and said nonsense.
Mi Jin next to him "fluttered" and laughed.
Li Yue glared at him, and the laughter stopped abruptly.
The Hun envoy pursed his lips, "Dudu...... Why bother me? ”
"I didn't lie to you, the Lord of Wei can fight Xiangguo, the general trend of Hebei has been decided, and he will soon go south, on both sides of the river, only I Yanzhou can wait for peace, a certain piece of kindness, you go back to show Liu Tingshi, and quickly follow me south." Li Yue's face was sincere and serious.
However, the black cloud generals and pro-soldiers around him were holding back their laughter.
The Hun envoy opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Li Yue waved his hand, "Prepare the horse quickly and send the messenger back." ”
After the people were taken away, there was a burst of laughter around.
Cui Jin also smiled.
Seeing that it was almost dark, Li Yue ordered to set up camp and wait for news from Fu Jian in the north.
Liu Guo's retreat to Fanyang was intended to rely on Weishui to avoid Ran Wei's soldiers, and at the same time to wait and see the situation in Hebei, Hebei is full of Hu people, and Xiangguo may not have a chance to make a comeback.
At that time, Fanyang's geographical advantages will be highlighted.
In the evening, the envoy of Liu Guo came again, "Fu Jian has a lot of people, has been running Fangtou for many years, has a lot of money and grain, and has a large number of people, my lord is willing to send out 3,000 war horses and invite the governor to fight Fu Jian's army together!" ”
Li Yue was stunned, Liu Guo still had a lot of fancy intestines, and it was one after another.
But from his standpoint, it's a good idea.
"Three thousand war horses want to betray their allies? Liu Tingshi still don't want to be so troublesome, it's better to go south with me. ”
"Five thousand! Five thousand war horses! The envoy stretched out five fingers and shook it, "The governor sent troops this time but came from profit, the two families have no deep hatred, and the money, food, and people of the head are far above the prosperous sun!" ”
Five thousand war horses is not a small number, it can be easily obtained, and it is impossible not to be moved.
However, after a little thought, I still dispelled this idea, Liu Guo is capricious and untrustworthy, and the Fu family is relatively credible, and the two sides have joined forces many times and have a basis for cooperation.
Moreover, even if he unites with Liu Guo, he may not be able to destroy Fu Jian.
A vicious battle, a three-way confrontation, all want others to be a sandpiper and a fisherman, and they will not die on the battlefield.
Liu Guo has war horses, come and go freely, the situation is not good, and the wind is tight.
He can only mess up in the wind, and it's not the first time he's done this kind of thing.
"Liu Tingshi's plan is very clever, first send five thousand war horses, and then I will wait for the long term!" Li Yue said with a smile.
What I am most afraid of at the moment is that Liu Guo retreats, and the Black Cloud Army does not have as many war horses as him, so it is difficult to catch up.
The messenger's eyes rolled, "I'll go back now, and tell my lord that the governor will wait for a while." ”
After saying that, he gave up.
"Liu Guo is cunning and cunning, don't be gullible." Cui Jin reminded.
Li Yue paced two steps under the flickering lights, strategically he could despise the enemy, but tactically he had to pay attention.
Liu Guo has risen again and again in this troubled world, and has his own set of survival skills.
Not to mention anything else, this person has an extremely keen sense of smell and has escaped defeat several times.
"Liu Guo flattered me, he must have the heart to plot me, our army came from afar, the soldiers are tired, he waits for work, maybe he will attack the camp tonight!" After connecting the front and back, Li Yue came to a conclusion.
If you have 40,000 riders in your hand, will you surrender so easily?
Absolutely not!
People have the intention of killing tigers, and tigers also have the intention of devouring people.
Cui Jin woke up like a dream, "Not bad! Liu Guo abandoned Luozhou and went north to fight, he must make up his mind, how can he easily surrender me? Five thousand war horses are not trivial, and they will never be given easily! ”
"Order, the whole army is on alert, the knife does not leave the hand, the armor does not leave the body, the Black Cloud Army is outside the camp, just waiting for the enemy to attack!" Li Yue took advantage of the situation to make deployments.
Whether the speculation is right or not, it's always right to be prepared.
