After Lü Guang defeated Duan Gong, the Black Cloud Army took the initiative and continued to advance northward, crossing the muddy water, and Jiangyi surrendered without a fight.

At the same time, Murong Chui waved his army south, occupied Puzi, Beiqu, Pingyang and other cities, and took Xiangling with his hand, and there was an endless stream of surrenderers.

The Yan army was strong, but Lü Guang did not flinch, crossed the Fenshui under pressure, occupied Linfen, and fortified along the Fenshui.

On the ninth day of the seventh month, Yao Xiang's 23,000 Qiang cavalry arrived first, backed by Fenyin, and occupied Jiting.

Fenyin Sanxue fully supported Yao Xiang and dispatched 6,000 parts to assist Yao Xiang.

On July 11, Gao Yun led 20,000 foot horsemen to arrive and settle in Jiangyi.

Lü Guang, Yao Xiang, and Gao Yun relied on each other, lined up on both sides of the Fenshui River, formed a complete line of defense, and waited for Murong Chui's 50,000 Yan troops to move south.

At the same time, the Qin army in Pusaka was not to be outdone, and Deng Qiang led 8,000 men and horses to enter Xie County, which had the intention of deterring the Black Cloud Army from the flank.

However, the pace of the Qin army was limited to this, and even the empty Yi clan was not taken, just waiting to see what happened.

Fu Sheng newly succeeded to the throne, but his ass was not yet firmly seated, and he was busy cleaning up the inside, not very interested in what was happening outside.

Deng Qiang's advance was only the self-made initiative of Pusaka Qinjun.

Yao Xiang divided 5,000 people and settled in Jieshan to watch the movements of Deng Qiang's department.

The war clouds were dense on both sides of the Fenshui, and the large and small forces in Hedong either attached themselves to Murong Chui or surrendered to the Liang army, and there were not many people who waited and watched.

And the situation does not allow them to wait and see.

The two powerful forces of the northern kingdom wrestle here, and those who wait and see will be the first to be eliminated......

A group of cavalry advanced along the Fenshui from east to north.

Gao Yun took Su Quan, Liu Gaozhi, Zhuge Kan, Gao Heng and others to inspect the terrain of Fenshui.

"Wrong!" Gao Yun was holding the map on the horse, and suddenly spoke.

"What's wrong?" Su Quan and Liu Gaozhi came over, and the two almost became Gao Yun's right-hand men.

"The throat of Fenshui is not in Linfen, but in the Baibo Valley one hundred and fifty miles to the north!" Gao Yun put away the map and looked to the north.

The mountains are vast, the barren grass is vines, and the Fenshui comes out of it.

The two armies are fighting each other, and what they are fighting for is the terrain.

There is a cloud in the art of war: those who are good at fighting are strong with the land and win with the potential, such as those who turn the round stone in the valley of a thousand people, and the terrain is also!

Whoever occupies the geographical advantage, who has the military power and occupies the first opportunity.

From this point, Lu Guang is still a little worse than Gao Yun.

However, Lu Guang has been in the Black Cloud Army for less than two years, and he is only seventeen years old, and he can defeat Duan Gong with less and more, which is already quite good.

Gao Yun has always been a general that Li Yue focuses on cultivating, and he has followed Li Yue to study in Shangwutang and Jiangwutang for several years, and has experienced many actual battles, so he naturally has a slightly higher vision.

In the fifth year of Zhongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty (188 years), Guo Da led a Yellow Turban Army to take this as a base, and built a white wave fortress here, forming a world-famous white wave thief, gathering 100,000 people, uniting the Southern Xiongnu to attack Taiyuan in the north, going south to Hedong, deterring Luoyang, and defeating Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army in its heyday.

The Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty have gone, but the strategic value of Baibo Valley has not faded.

Not only did it not subside, but as Liang Yan competed for hegemony, this place became more and more important.

Advance can be attacked, retreated, defended, and can also be cultivated and raised, which is exactly the momentum of the ape arm in the art of war.

"Order, Su Quan and Liu Gaozhi immediately lead three thousand elite horsemen to capture this place!" Gao Yunle turned the horse's head.

The military situation is urgent, and whoever is one step faster will have a huge advantage.

"Obey!" The two of them bowed their hands at the same time, and then galloped south.

Gao Yun went down the Fen River to inspect the defense of various parts of Fenshui.

I saw that the camp was forested, the scouts were coming in and out, the Black Cloud soldiers drove the prisoners deep ditches and high bases, cut down trees and arranged antlers, everything was in order and not chaotic at all.

It was inevitable that he would dare to look at Lu Guang twice in his heart, "He is worthy of being the person favored by His Highness." ”

Just as he was about to enter the camp to see Lu Guang, the scout rushed from the north and brought back the latest news, "General Yu, the Yan army of four thousand rode out of Xiangling and went straight to Baibo Valley!" ”

Gao Yun could see the importance of Baibo Valley, and Murong Chui could naturally see it too.

"Do you know who the Lord will be?"

"Fu Yan."

Fu Yan followed Murong Chui to attack Ele, with great military achievements, and was the leading general of the Yan army.

"The first battle is a decisive battle, do your best, abandon your baggage, ride a donkey and a mule, and gallop to the aid of Baibo Valley!" Gao Yun sweated in his heart.

It's not that I don't believe in Su Quan and Liu Gaozhi, but this battle is too important to tolerate, and I don't want to disappoint King Liang, so I must go all out.

The opponent is Murong Chui, who has been famous for a long time and is one of the twin gems of Yan State.

No one dared to despise Murong Trai.

Only by defeating him head-on can Gao Yun complete his personal transformation and become the mainstay of Liang Guo!

This year, he had just crossed the threshold of twenty years old, and his heart was boiling, and it was Han Zhihuo who was going to get sick.

As long as the Yan army is blocked north of the Baibo Valley, the battle will be half won.

The terrain of Hedong and Bingzhou is in the same vein, with the Taihang Mountains in the east and the Luliang Mountains in the west, as if two long dragons are sandwiched by Fenshui.

The terrain will determine the outcome of this battle.

Binh Duong.

Murong Chui was also looking at the map, "Who is the commander of the enemy army?" ”

"It seems to be a young general surnamed Gao, the milk smell has not dried up, I heard that he has just turned twenty." The generals in the hall burst out laughing.

"Twenty dare to come and fight with our army? In addition to Li Yue, the Black Cloud Army is also Wang Meng, and Liang Guo can be said to be unpopular! ”

Everyone's expressions relaxed.

They have reason to be so confident, Yan Guo is a battlefield veteran by any person.

From Liaodong all the way to Middle-earth, he defeated countless opponents who were once strong, and surpassed Liang in terms of the quality and quantity of his generals.

But even so, they were still afraid to hear Wang Meng's name.

In the first battle of Julu, Wang Meng's 30,000 horses suppressed them to the death, and repeatedly repelled the Yan army, leaving them with a lot of psychological shadows.

As long as it wasn't Wang Meng, Murong Chui's pressure would not be so great, "Li Yue is quite unique in employing people, he dared to use the little-known Wang Meng back then, and today he dares to use this person as a general, there must be something strange!" Don't be careless! ”

Murong Chui may look down on Gao Yun, but he will never despise Li Yue.

Every time it can be unexpected.

The Black Cloud Army has experienced a lot of bloody battles, and it is impossible not to have generals, otherwise it would not be able to go today.

However, the name Gao Yun is really a little unfamiliar to them.

Although it should not be careless, the generals in the account will not think so.

"The main force of the Heiyun Army is only 20,000 people, and our army is 50,000 elites. Murong Chen said with confidence.

Murong Chui nodded, his gaze fell on the map again, the Baibo Valley sandwiched in the middle was extremely prominent, it was impossible for an excellent general to miss such an important choke point, "Baibo Valley cannot afford to be lost, you will ride seven thousand steps to help it, and my army will follow." ”

If you want to go south to conquer the entire territory of Hedong, Baibo Valley is the threshold that cannot be bypassed.

Of course, you can force yourself to go around, either from the east to Wangwu Mountain, where the terrain is complex, or from the west through Sanxue's old nest Fenyin.

For the Yan army, which is known for its cavalry, neither road is easy to walk.

11,000 men and horses in front and behind, in their opinion, enough to level the Baibo River Valley.

It's not that Murong Trai doesn't want to send more troops, but the weather is hot during this time, and the Yan army is all from Liaodong, who likes cold and is afraid of heat, and the soldiers are a little unaccustomed to the soil and water, and they need to cultivate.
