287 Northern Expedition 5

As soon as Handan was over, Lin Jianyue immediately summoned the main generals of the Guards, Xinyang Army and Rao Cavalry Army to Liyang to gather, and how Hebei would fight must be clear.

"At present, Liaodong is still in a big war, but the advantage is obvious, it is a matter of time before it wins, and they are the key to completely reach the capital of Hebei. What is our mission? It was the main force that covered the Liaodong Army, the Huaiyang Army and the Wuwei Army and contained Li Chongshan. How to contain it? Staying where you are is is not contained, and you must keep attacking. ”

"Where is the center of the attack? It is the first line of Zhending Mansion, Handan, Enzhou and Daimyofu. Since Li Chongshan hasn't left yet, it can be seen that he is also lucky, and he also wants to find our main force for a decisive battle, and everyone knows that when I go to Handan, I just give him a chance and force him to fight with me. ”

"Hebei concentrates so much military strength on the enemy and us, a head-on duel cannot be avoided, no matter how good the strategy is, it is necessary to annihilate the living forces in the end. Now Handan is in our hands, Batusu in order to avoid the Hedong army entering Hebei, will inevitably buy time to transfer troops to besiege, I did not go north, it is estimated that Li Chongshan will not take his cowardly Xue army to the south, Batusu army is insufficient, the Daimyo Mansion does not dare to move, but Dezhou will move, this is the opportunity. Champion general, in the east, you will command the Rao cavalry army and the Xinyang army, looking for opportunities to deal with the enemy army in Texas, but don't be reluctant, if you can fight, you will fight, if you can't fight, you will occupy the city all the way, Texas moves, fight Texas; If Texas does not move, it will hit Enzhou in the middle and cut off the retreat of the Daimyo's Mansion. And the guards have one goal, the daimyo's mansion moves you, and if he doesn't move, you don't move, just stare at him. ”

Lin Jianyue looked at the map again and said, "I estimate that after I arrive in Handan, the final decisive battle will likely be near the giant deer." Back then, Xiang Yu won more with less in Julu and completely defeated the Qin Dynasty, I think we also have such an opportunity in the same place to defeat Li Chongshan in one fell swoop and build a new dynasty! ”

Lin Jianyue has always disliked publicity, but this time is different, it can really be described as a big fanfare, just to tell Li Chongshan Batusu, I, Lin Jianyue, are here, it depends on whether you dare to come.

As Lin Jianyue expected, as soon as Batusu received the news of the loss of Handan, he immediately led the army south from Zhendingfu, and he couldn't wait, the loss of Handan represented the loss of Fukou Pass, and the passage from Hedong to Hebei was opened, if it didn't matter, as soon as the Hedong army arrived, it could only shrink the defense line to the north, or even withdraw from the Great Wall, so what's the point of holding on to Han for so long?

He didn't expect Lin Jianyue to be so bold and dare to go north with a light army, you must know that there are hundreds of thousands of main forces in Enzhou and Dezhou, the famous capital, so he is not afraid of the annihilation of the whole army? Due to the very tense situation at the Yanmen Pass in Jingcheng, it was not expected that the Hedong Army had entered Hebei for a while.

Zhending Mansion to Handan about 400 miles, Batusu rushed all the way south, just half of the way to Neiqiu County, he received more surprising news, Lin Jianyue also arrived in Handan, Batusu was puzzled, Lin Jianyue is so important, he actually arrived in Handan, he did not receive the news of Lin Jianyue's main force on the Yellow River, what is the situation?

When he arrived at the big city of Xingzhou, Batusu stopped, did not dare to continue the attack on Handan, but rushed to report to Li Chongshan for 800 miles, and then rushed back to Dadu in person.

Such a big news that even the sick Balsifu was carried to the Khan's palace.

"Your Majesty, when Lin Jianyue came to Handan in person, he must have a major plan and should not be ignored. At present, Liaodong has no winner or loser, and Lin Jianyue's military strength is not superior, why did he do this? Although Handan is western, there is Zhending Mansion in the north, Enzhou in the east, Daimyo Mansion in the south, and Taihang Mountain Range in the south, which is completely surrounded. Please forgive your majesty, the minister did not expect Lin Jianyue to dare to be so bold, resulting in the loss of Handan and the opening of the passage from Hedong to Hebei. ”

"Lin Jianyue was used to deception and sneak attacks before, but this time he was so public, it seemed that he felt that he had won the battle. I feel that this is a war letter to me, since this is the case, I will lead the cowardly Xue army to the south and fight a decisive battle! "Li Chongshan's ambition is unquenchable.

Batusu was shocked: "Most of the main forces must not be moved lightly, in case ...... Mo Han failed, and Lin Jianyue's army in Liaodong entered the pass, most of them were not guaranteed, and there was no way to retreat. ”

"A way out? Marshal Ba, I have long had no way out, and defeating Lin Jianyue is a way out! I deployed 60,000 or 70,000 troops on the front line of Yuguan in Yingzhou, even if Mohan's entire army was annihilated, and the enemy army in Liaodong was not so easy to break the Yuguan natural danger, not to mention that Mohan had not yet failed. I don't expect him to win, as long as I can hold off the enemy in Liaodong, I have sent him a letter, and I have strictly ordered him not to go out lightly, even if the opportunity is good. ”

Li Chongshan was depressed in his heart, such a good opportunity under the city of Kaizhou, but still did not achieve a big victory, could it be that the invincible Mongolian cavalry in the world has declined?

"But there is also the sea route, Your Majesty, once Lin Jianyue's troops land on the sea east of the capital, then ......"

"Marshal Ba, I can't take care of so much now, if you have to be afraid of everything, then what are you going to fight? Just run away. It's not that most of the capital didn't leave the defenders, even if most of them were lost, as long as they defeated Lin Jianyue or even killed Lin Jianyue, what could they not get back? When the army returned, it would not take much effort to destroy them. ”

Batusu sighed in his heart, he came back and brought the seriously ill Balsif, just to persuade His Majesty to take everyone to retreat gradually, and retreat while fighting! Now it's not time to take the plunge.

Lin Jianyue really caught him off guard, making him very passive strategically, and the opportunity to consume Lin Jianyue's strength to the greatest extent was gradually disappearing.

At the beginning, the purpose of Balsifu and Batusu staying in Han was also to make Lin Jianyue's strength greatly damaged, and he was unable to attack the grassland in the short term.

Seeing that Li Chongshan's mind has been decided, but Batusu still wants to fight again: "Your Majesty, Lin Jianyue has always been cunning, and the minister suspects that the main force of the Jinning army in Hedong has made a detour into Hebei, otherwise Lin Jianyue would not be so bold, and his subordinates will not agree, so we have no chance of winning quickly, once Liaodong or the sea ......"

Li Chongshan interrupted Batusu: "So what? My cowardly Xue army is the strongest in the world, and it is good that the Hedong army is coming, and it is just right to solve it together. Marshal Ba, there are some less important places in the Yellow River that should be given up and abandoned, concentrate military strength, and decide the world in one battle. ”

"Ahem, cough, cough......" A weak cough sounded, and Li Chongshan hurriedly walked to Balsif's side.

"Your Majesty... Next, I can die in Handi, and Batusu can also die here, but Your Majesty can't die! The cowardly Xue Jun can't be lost! Even later... Your Majesty may no longer be Your Majesty, and it doesn't matter, with Your Majesty's eloquence and strategy, there is a foundation for the cowardly Xue Army, and it is not without a chance to make a comeback in the future. I have discussed with Batusu, I will stay in Han with him to fight Lin Jianyue, Your Majesty will return to Mobei first, and I have already arranged it there. ”

Li Chongshan's heart was sour, and he immediately laughed out loud again: "How can I be such a greedy person who is afraid of death? If so, what face is there when the prairie sweats? And what face reigns in the world? What other face is the descendant of the Golden Family? Taifu rest assured, I have ordered the Eagle Catcher to contact Guanzhong, and then Guanzhong will send troops to attack Luoyang...... Taifu ...... Taifu! ”

It's a pity that Balsif couldn't answer him anymore, and his eyes didn't close, just staring at Li Chongshan.

Li Chongshan cried loudly.
