Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After Gao Xingzhou received the notice from Yunzhou City, he immediately raised troops and notified the east and west armies at the same time. Du Chongwei was relieved when he heard that Gao Xingzhou was willing to march.  In Yanmen Pass, Shi Chonggui received the news and summoned the generals to discuss, but An Chongrong and Yao Yuanfu did not agree to send troops.

    Yao Yuanfu said: "This time, we are not going to fight the Khitan, but Tiance. Once we advance, Zhe De and other Fuzhou and Linzhou troops will return to the Khanxue Cavalry Regiment. Our Hedong soldiers have a relationship with the Khitan."  They have hatred, and are related to Fu and Lin. Once they go to war, the relatives will hate and the enemies will be happy. Under Yunzhou City, the Han people are fighting, and at the top of Yunzhou City, the Khitans are watching. Not only will the generals below not be happy, but the world will also suffer.  The hero laughs, the war may not go smoothly, and it will damage the reputation of those who stay behind, and will hinder their future. It is better to stand still and wait and see what happens next."

    Shi Chonggui is the adopted son of Shi Jingtang, and he is quite qualified to be crown prince, so he cherishes his wings and refuses to ruin his reputation.  He is different from Gao Xingzhou. Gao Xingzhou does not obey the commander's orders. Du Chongwei can use him to sacrifice the flag, but Shi Chonggui does not have this pressure.

    An Chongrong also said: "Your Majesty surrendered to the Khitan, which is a great shame and humiliation for the Han family! Now the Khitan wants to use us to defeat their invincible strategy, why should we work hard for others? Are we really the slaves of the Khitan?"  "

    Seeing that both generals were unwilling to take action, Shi Chonggui decided to stand still.

    Gao Xingzhou saw that there was no response at Yanmen Pass, but he had no choice. Among the three armies, he had the weakest political background. Even though he knew that others were pushing him into a pit of fire, he had no choice but to continue to advance. Soon after he arrived at the Sanggan River, he would have to cross the river.  .

    At this time, Zhe Deku had already entered Yingzhou City, and Gao Xingzhou's troops were eighty miles northwest of Yingzhou City.

    Gao Xingzhou's lieutenant general said to him: "There are Zhe Deku's troops in Yingzhou City. He is a man of Tiance. If we attack our army halfway, we will lose a lot of money. I heard that Zhe Deku's troops and horses are  Not much, Yingzhou is new and we are not well-defended, so it is better to attack Yingzhou City first and then cross the river."

    Gao Xingzhou's company was reluctant to fight with the Sweat and Blood Cavalry Regiment. How could he be willing to compromise at this time?  Said: "Zhe Deyi's men are all from Fu, Lin and Hedong. If we fight with him, we will first become enemies with the entire Hedong elders. An Chongrong himself doesn't want to be such an ugly man, so why should we stand up for him? Let's cross the river in batches.  , the front army crosses the river, and the rear army takes precautions."

    In Yingzhou City, the generals heard that the White Horse and Silver Spear Regiment was going to cross the river, so they all asked for orders to attack halfway across the river for a surprise attack.

    Zhao Pu said: "I see that the march of Gao Xing Zhou's troops is slow and not at all as majestic as the wind and fire as rumored by the White Horse and Silver Spear Regiment. This must be due to low morale. To fight against the Blood Cavalry Regiment with such morale, you will either die or commit suicide.  Take it as a shame! We have few soldiers, so we don¡¯t have to fight him now. Just let him pass and observe the situation. If there is a change, we will cut off their retreat and let the Sweat Blood Cavalry Regiment shut down and beat the dogs."

    Therefore, the White Horse and Silver Spear Regiment crossed the river safely, as if they were traveling in uninhabited territory.  Soon after arriving in Huairen County, Huairen County was also in the hands of Zhe De.  After listening to the order, the city gate was closed tightly and no one could get out.

    Huairen is just a small county town, and Gao Xingzhou did not enter Huairen. He camped outside the city that night, turned north the next day, and soon approached Yunzhou City.

    The situation in northern Shanxi at this time is really delicate:

    The Khitan occupied Yunzhou City and its northeastern counties, and the Tiance Tang Army from Chilechuan was stationed in the west of Yunzhou.  There was a vague intention of siege. Rebels from various places occupied other states and counties. Zhe Deqin controlled Yunzhou, Bai Chengfu and others controlled Shuozhou. The forces of various factions were intertwined.  However, Gao Xingzhou entered northern Shanxi from Yuzhou. He did not attack the city or plunder the land along the way. He did not kill as long as no one stopped him. The rebels from all over the place neither helped nor harassed him, and he was allowed to walk to the gate of Yunzhou without any change.  , Such a military form is truly rare in ancient and modern times.

    And Gao Xingzhou also knew what Du Zhongwei, Shi Chonggui and others meant, which was to wait to see him make a plan. If he succeeded, Du Zhongwei and Shi Chonggui would naturally jump in to receive the benefits. If things didn't go well, the only one who would bear the infamy would be  He, Gao Xingzhou himself, endured the humiliation, but his generals were not happy to fight, so their morale was very low.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    The Tiance Army had already formed a vague siege of Yunzhou City. All the strongholds in the northwest, due west, southwest and south of Yunzhou had been blocked. Seeing that Gao Xing was thoughtful, the Tiance Army did not directly block it and actually withdrew.  Exited the due south stronghold.

    Gao Huaide thought to himself: "There is so much lifelessness in our army, how can we fight?" He was a newborn calf and was not afraid of tigers. He actually rode out of the camp alone to see the actions of the Tang army. He took off his military uniform and only wore the clothes of a shepherd.  He put away his silver gun, wore the gray clothes worn by teenagers in northern Shanxi when they were out and about, rode a yellow gelding horse, and wandered along the outside of Yunzhou City.

    At this time, Yunzhou seemed to be besieging the city but it had not yet been besieged. There had been business travelers coming in and out, and various messengers coming in and out. The flow was complicated. Regardless of the Tang and Liao army horses, they did not take it seriously when they saw a young man wandering on horseback.One thing.

    The layout of the Tang army was to look at Yunzhou's surrounding formation in the northwest, due west, and southwest. The most important part of the army was due west. The young man Gao Huaide was so bold that he even wandered near the center of the Tang army!

    Look at him approaching the Chinese army camp. Two scouts ran out vigilantly. Gao Huaide looked tall and strong. From a distance, he looked like a big man. But up close, his face was so tender that you could squeeze water out of it, and there was still a little velvet on his mouth.  Huang Mao, two scouts approached and saw a boy from the Han family, and shouted: "Where did you come from, a kid from the Han family, wandering around here! Don't you know there's going to be a war here! Go home quickly!"

    Gao Huaide thought to himself: "At this time, come close, give them two swords, and then run away. They can't catch up with me, but plotting against others is not a hero." Then he pretended to be innocent and said: "Two uncles, I heard that there is sweat here.  A bloody BMW, I want to see a bloody BMW!"

    The two scouts looked at each other and laughed at the same time. They thought they were children from a nearby family. After hearing the name of the sweat-blooded BMW, they unexpectedly came to see the novelty without knowing the danger, because Gao Huaide's speech had a Yandi accent, without any nonsense.  , the two scouts knew they were not Khitans and did not want to be embarrassed. One of the scouts shouted: "Go home quickly! There is going to be a war here!"

    Gao Huaide said: "Uncle, are there really sweaty horses here? I have been riding horses all my life and I have never seen a sweaty horse. You are kind enough to let me have a look. Is the sweat they shed really red?"

    The two scouts laughed after hearing this. One of them said: "This kid is so funny. He is only a few years old and he has been talking about it for half his life!"

    Another said: "You damn kid, it's always like this."

    "There is sweat and blood in our military camp. Why don't we let him get close and have a look?"

    The other one said in shock: "What nonsense are you talking about! If the captain hears this, he will still want his head!" He waved his hand to Gao Huaide and said: "Go quickly, go quickly. They said there is going to be a war here, be careful where a cold arrow comes out and kill you.  life!"

    Gao Huaide raised the corner of his mouth. The two scouts looked at him as if he was a young man who didn't know the heights of the world.  Shaking his head and laughing at the same time.

    Gao Huaide went to the northwest of Yunzhou again. The farther northwest, the more serious the Tang army's formation became. Before Gao Huaide could get closer, scouts came out of the camp. Without saying a word, they fired a loud arrow as a warning!

    Gao Huaide did not dare to approach and wandered back along the same path.

    In the Tang military camp, Li Yiyin inspected the camps.  Just when he saw Gao Huaide wandering around the edge of the camp's firing range, Li Yiyin pointed and said, "What is that? How can I let him look at my camp!"

    It happened that the two scouts who had spoken to Gao Huaide were nearby and replied: "That's not a Khitan spy. He's an ignorant Han boy. He wandered around here and said he wanted to see the bloody horse. Let's drive him away."  Gone. Why are you still around now!"

    Li Yiyin took out the telescope - a telescope produced by the Tang army.  It is still a rare item and the quantity is still small.  It was not popular among the military. During the Luntai War, only generals close to the old Anxi tribe could have one. Now Li Yiyin also had to get one from Zhang Mai - Li Yiyin looked at it with a telescope, raised his hand and punched the scout in anger.  Said: "What a shameless thing! This little guy is riding a 'Telegu Dragon', how can he be an ordinary young man!"

    It turns out that the horse Gao Huaide is riding has a great background.  At first glance, it looks earthy. Gao Huaide deliberately made the horse covered with dust this time, but it is actually a famous Xiliang breed. It is characterized by yellow with white spots on the body, and white hairs on the horse's head that are distributed like a full moon.  .  The biggest feature is that no matter how fat it is, its ribs will always be exposed - hence the name Tougulong, which is a famous breed of horse. Legend has it that Qin Qiong's mount was it.

    Li Yiyin was a powerful party official and was familiar with famous horses in the northwest, so he saw through it at a glance and immediately sent a small team of cavalry out of camp to chase him.

    Gao Huaide was still wandering around when he suddenly started to tremble. He felt alarmed for no reason, just like a wild animal smelling danger. He looked around and saw that the gate of Tang Jun's stronghold was opening, and thought to himself: "This is not a good thing!" He was not in a hurry either.  He didn't panic, he just turned the horse's head and swayed away.

    The yellow gelding under his crotch looked from a distance as slow as a walk, without exerting any strength at all. However, the cavalry chasing him from the camp was getting farther and farther away. After chasing for seven or eight miles, it seemed that he could not catch up. The two scouts  Then he turned around and realized that the horse he was riding was indeed a famous horse. He secretly admired Li Yiyin for his extraordinary knowledge.

    Gao Huaide slipped back to the army. Gao Xingzhou was frightened when he heard that his son had left the camp alone to see the strength of the Tang army. He was afraid that his son would have an accident, but he saw Gao Huaide back.

    When Gao Xingzhou saw that his son had returned unharmed, he felt happy and cursed: "You are so ignorant. Heaven's plan is to fight a great army, and the army must be run strictly. How dare you go to see their camp! Your life is at stake!"

    Gao Huaide said: "The Bloody Cavalry Regiment has such a great reputation. I think their actions are only average. Only the northwest is heavily guarded. This is really strange. Could it be thatAre they going to attack Yunzhou from the northwest?  Dad, why don't you give me a team of men, and I'll charge into their ranks and test the truth.  If it succeeds, it will boost morale, and maybe we can bring back a few bloody horses.  "

    In fact, his yellow gelding may not be as good as the Sweat Horse in terms of steeds, but the reputation of the Sweat Horse in the past two years has been so great, and the characteristic of the horse sweating red is so legendary that as a horseman, the family cannot help but remember it.

    Gao Xingzhou shouted: "He is a master of hundreds of battles, how can he not be superior to others? Don't underestimate the enemy!"

    He had never participated in the Battle of Guanzhong. He had heard a lot about how powerful the Tiance Tang Army was, but he had never really seen it on the battlefield. Gao Huaide didn't believe it and raised his lips again.

    Gao Xingzhou did not conflict with the Tang army, so he stationed himself in the southeast of Yunzhou. He sent envoys to the city to hand over defense with the Khitan.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Xiao Haili received the news and came to see Yeluwu and said: "The Jin army sent people here and asked us to hand over the city defense to them."

    Yeluwu asked: "I asked them to take over Yunzhou City."

    Xiao Jali sneered: "The original agreement was that they would send troops to hold back Tiance for us, but now they haven't even fought a single battle, and they want our Yunzhou City? How lucky they have the nerve to speak up!"

    Han Deshu said from the side: "This is our agreement with Shi Jingtang. Shi Jingtang dare not make his true intentions public to the world. These generals in front of the formation may not know it carefully."

    The Khitan people hated and feared Zhang Mai and respected him at the same time, but they usually did not dare to call him by his first name when talking behind his back. Although Shi Jingtang ascended the throne and became emperor, people in the Liao Kingdom did not have any respect for him when talking about him behind his back.

    "Even so, we can't really give up Yunzhou City to them!" Xiao Jali said.

    Yeluwu asked: "Just tell the Jin army and let them relieve the siege of Yunzhou first. We will naturally take over the city defense."

    Xiao Juali smiled and said: "They only have more than 10,000 troops. How can they retreat from the tens of thousands of troops on the opposite side?"

    In fact, the elite members of the White Horse and Silver Spear Regiment only have a few coins, and the remaining six to seven thousand people are all auxiliary personnel.

    Yeluwu said: "That's their business, it has nothing to do with us!"

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    When the Liao army general heard the news, Gao Xingzhou was extremely depressed in the camp. He was confident that the combat effectiveness of the White Horse Silver Spear Regiment was not inferior to that of the Sweat Blood Cavalry Regiment, but after all, the opponent was famous and had more troops than himself, so he wanted to let him go.  Front impact.  That is to let him die!

    Gao Huaide shouted angrily: "When we were in Yingzhou, we were tricked into coming to Yunzhou, and when we came to Yunzhou, we were not allowed to enter the city! This is deceiving us! Dad, don't make any plans. Give me a team of men and I will capture the city."  !¡±

    Gao Xingzhou scolded: "You do not know the bounds of heaven and earth, you stinky boy, do you want to kill the whole family! Before setting off, your Majesty specially called our generals and gave them repeated orders. We are not allowed to have any conflict with the Khitans. If we go to attack today,  In Yunzhou, when the news reaches Luoyang, our entire Gao family will be executed!"

    Gao Huaide shrank his head when he heard that the whole family was copying and beheading, but he was very aggrieved and said: "Our Majesty, you are a coward in being an emperor, and we are also affected by it."

    Gao Xingzhou was so frightened that he quickly covered Gao Huaide's mouth and cursed: "Be careful what you say, or you will take your grandma and your mother's life!"

    He thought for a moment, felt sad again, and whispered to Gao Huaide: "Above the court. It's more dangerous than the battlefield. It's your mother's intention to bring you, a troublemaker, out this time. It's not to let you make meritorious deeds."  But if there is an unexpected disaster, don't worry about the elderly at home and escape by yourself. Nowadays, the border is in chaos. With your ability, it is not difficult to survive. It doesn't matter if you live in a green forest or find a ravine to hide. Don't  I won¡¯t be an official anymore.¡±

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Gao Xingzhou was forced to prepare for the invasion, while Yelu Wuzhi and Xiao Haili were also prepared: as long as the Tang and Jin Dynasties were on the verge of war, they would attack each other.

    Yelu Wuzhi counted the days and said: "As long as it takes a few more days, it will be too late for Xue Fu to rush to Linhuang Mansion at all costs! At that time, we will give Yunzhou this piece of meat to Shi Jingtang, and let Tiance and  Shi Jin¡¯s dog bites the dog and grabs the meat!¡±

    Xiao Shali smiled and said: "I really couldn't bear to leave Yunzhou, but it would be a pleasure to return to Youzhou and watch the Han people kill each other."

    Han Deshu thought to himself: "Will it be so smooth?"

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    In Huairen County, which is closest to Yunzhou, a battalion of troops also came at this time - it was Zhe Deqi who came in person, and he wanted to observe the situation closely.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Because Shi Jingtang firmly held down the frontline generals, Gao Xingzhou had no choice but to advance, and really approached Tiance's camp with troops and horses.He looked around at his soldiers, they were all good men trained by himself, and thought to himself: "This time we are fighting against the Sweat Blood Cavalry Regiment. I wonder how many of these men will be able to return alive after this battle! I was ordered by the military to  We are forced to go in, but all these men will follow me and die in vain."

    But it is strange to say that when the White Horse and Silver Spear Regiment took a step forward, the Sweat Blood Cavalry Regiment took a step back. Gao Xingzhou advanced step by step, while the other side retreated step by step and did not even join the attack!  In the end, Gao Xingzhou's entire army was stationed in the west of Yunzhou, and the Tang army was opposite him, and the two sides were out of reach.

    Gao Huaide laughed and said: "The bullshit sweat-blooded cavalry regiment really dare not fight with our army! The sweat-blooded cavalry can't meet white horses and silver spears! Even the northwest elite can't meet me, the man of Yanzhao! Dad, give me a man and a horse, I will  Go and teach Xue Fu a lesson!"

    Gao Xingzhou slapped him and cursed: "You are the one who called me Xue Fu! Although each has his own master, he is a good man who dared to attack the heart of the Khitan and almost caught the Khitan emperor! No matter how arrogant you are,  Show some respect in your words!"

    Half of Gao Huaide's face was swollen, but he didn't dare to reply.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    At this time, not only did Gao Xingzhou know something was wrong, but Xiao Juli in the city was also secretly wondering. Their Khitan Pi clan respected Tian Ce, but looked down on the Jin army. Xiao Juli said: "What the hell is Xue Fu doing!"

    Yelu Wuzhi felt uneasy in his heart.  Said: "We have been plotting for so long, don't let the Tang people plot again!"

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Not only the Khitans, but also Cao Yuanzhong noticed that something was wrong. He said to Cao Yanggong: "Xue Fu's troops retreated instead of advancing. This is wrong! Go out of the city and visit our army. See what Xue Fu is.  Intend!"

    Their uncles and nephews have special status. They are treated as honored guests by the Khitan, and they are one of their own when they return to the Tang military camp.  Yelvwuzhi also wanted to know the strength of the Tang army, so he sent people to escort Cao Yangong out of the city. At this time, the western defense line of Yunzhou was already under the control of the Jin army. If Cao Yangong wanted to return to the Tang camp, he first had to obtain Gao Xingzhou's consent.

    After Gao Xingzhou heard the news from Yelu House, he wanted to let him go. Gao Huaide was eager to try and said: "Dad, I will escort the envoy!" Gao Xingzhou knew that his son was not motivated by public motives, but this time he said: "Okay, you go.  . Be careful and don¡¯t lose your identity.¡±

    Gao Huaide changed into a soldier's uniform and an ordinary war horse, and escorted Cao Yangong all the way to Tangying.

    ??Tiancei advocates martial arts, from Yang Dingguo to Yang Yi, regardless of civil or military officials.  Everyone is ashamed of not being able to wield a sword and ride a horse. The Cao family in Shazhou was also a military commander.  By the time Cao Yuanzhong's generation was slowly becoming a literati, the entry of Tiance stimulated the Cao family's children to also worship martial arts. Therefore, even though Cao Yangong was a civilian, he could still use a sword to ride horses and kill enemies in battle. This  There were no guards around the envoy when he went out.  It was just that when he left the city, he was half-escorted and half-supervised by a Khitan from the Yelvuzhi sect. When he arrived at the Jin army, he was also "escorted" by Gao Huaide.

    Cao Yangong is also a young man, but he has traveled north and south in the past few years and has seen a lot.  His eyes were also trained. Although his mind was elsewhere at this time, Gao Huaide was flying around and did not know how to restrain himself. Cao Yangong still saw that this young man's spirit was different. He couldn't help but ask a few questions along the way. Gao Huaide smiled and said: "The little one is  He is from Changshan, his surname is Gao, so just call the younger one Xiao Gao."

    "Changshan people" Cao Yangong said: "That's Zhao Zilong's fellow villager in Changshan!"

    Gao Huaide chuckled and said: "I was born in Changshan, but my father was born in Youzhou, and my grandfather was a hero from Shandong. I don't know where he was from. Now Youzhou has been ceded to Khitan! I can be considered a Changshan person.  Bar."

    Cao Yangong smiled and said: "I like you kid, why don't you just follow me. I'll talk to your coach later. If you follow me, you'll have a chance to go to your hometown in Youzhou!"

    Gao Huaide chuckled and said, "Don't dare, my mother is still at home. If I follow you, my mother will suffer at home."

    Cao Yangong smiled softly, thinking about state affairs in his mind, and stopped paying attention to him.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    They arrived at the gate of the Tang Army's stronghold. After the announcement, they went straight into the military camp. The Khitan guard was stopped just before they entered the gate. Although Cao Yangong only spoke a few words to Gao Huaide, he felt that this young man was lovable. He also had a young mind and felt that he  It was awkward to go in and out without any followers, so he took Gao Huaide inside.

    On the road, we passed a row of horse pens, with tall horses on both sides, all of which were very impressive horses from the West!

    Gao Huaide's eyes turned red when he saw it, and he said: "Thisisn't this a bloody BMW?"

    Cao Yangong smiled and said: "You still have some eyes!" He came from Hexi. He had seen the sweaty horse so many times that he recognized it at a glance.

    Gao Huaide said: "Didn't I hear that Khan's bloody horse was sick?"

      Cao Yangong said: "The sick batch is being raised in Chilechuan. This batch is fine. Hey, why am I talking to you?"

    After entering the fourth door and arriving in front of a large tent, Cao Yangong said to Gao Huaide, "Don't run around, just wait here." He entered the tent. When he looked up after entering the tent, when he was about to salute, Xue Fu was not there, only Li Yiyin.  , he couldn't help but be startled and said: "Where is General Xue?"

    Li Yi smiled and said: "There is no need to hide it anymore. General Xue is not in the army. I am the one who makes the decision here!"

    Cao Yangong was shocked when he heard this. At this time, someone hurriedly came in and reported: "General, General Yixiu sent word that there is smoke coming from the north. It should be the beacon fire of the Khitan people!"

    Li Yi Yin said: "The time is really right!"

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    The left-behind mansion in Yunzhou City was now in chaos!

    Just now, Xiaoxiali and Yelu House received an urgent report at the same time!

    There is smoke coming from the north!

    That¡¯s the smoke coming from Yuanyangbo!

    If you go from the Chile River to the northeast and take the outer line of the Great Wall, the road will be desolate. If the army is moving, you will need to find a water source along the way.  The Sweat Cavalry and its attached troops amounted to forty-five thousand men, and two hundred thousand could be obtained for the horses.  Two hundred thousand horses cannot be fed by just getting a few springs. Water sources and forage along the way must be considered.

    Therefore, the Khitan people made a calculation: if Xue Fu wanted to go to Linhuang Mansion via the outer line of the Great Wall, from Chilechuan to the northeast, the first place he had to pass was the Yanlixia Lake - the forward of the Tang army had already arrived there, and the Khitan could not control it.  Then heading northeast, you will pass Baishui Lake.  Baishui Lake is located due north of Yunzhou. After leaving the Great Wall, it can be reached by galloping for a day and a night - of course, this is a distance that a single rider can run without any trouble, and it is impossible for an army to move so fast.

    Further northeast from Baishui Lake is Yuanyangbo. Yuanyangbo is located in the northwest of Yehuling, which is already under the jurisdiction of Youzhou.  Further northeast of Yuanyangbo, the water source gradually becomes abundant and the terrain opens up, crossing the Luanhe River.  You can approach Linhuang Mansion.

    There are no natural dangers in Baishui Lake and Yuanyangbo. They are easy to attack and difficult to defend. Directly stationed troops are vulnerable to attack. Therefore, the Khitan did not deploy heavy troops but set up beacon towers.  If the Tang army wanted to advance from the outside of the Great Wall, these two places were almost the only way to pass.

    According to the original plan of the Khitan military, as soon as the beacon fire at Baishui Lake is lit, Xiao Juali will immediately send troops from Yunzhou.  Attacking the flank of the Tang army, Yelushuo's ancient troops left Youzhou at the same time.  Being ready at Yuanyangbo means there is absolutely enough time.

    Xue Fu gained such a great reputation in the Battle of Guanzhong last year, so the Khitan senior officials evaluated the strength of the Blood Cavalry from Gaoli. They thought that neither Xiao Xiali nor Yelu Shuogu could stop Xue Fu in a frontal battle.  .  However, Xiao Juli's flank harassment could seriously slow down Xue Fu's progress. After arriving at Yuanyangbo, Xue Fu could defeat Yelu Shuogu.  At that time, there was no time to go to Linhuang Mansion to join forces with Yang Yi.

    Unexpectedly, in the past few months, northern Shanxi has been turbulent, and everyone's attention has been attracted by the events here. As a result, there was no warning in Baishui Lake, but a beacon suddenly came from Yuanyangbo!

    Xiao Shali said angrily: "How did they get there? Did they fly there? And his army is here. Who is there at Yuanyangbo! Could this beacon fire be wrong?"

    Yelu Wuzhi seemed to have thought of something and said, "Maybe they didn't go through Baishui Lake and went upstream along the Jin River."

    "The upper reaches of Jinhe River?"

    The upper reaches of the Jinhe River is the Yinshan Mountains. After climbing over the Yinshan Mountains and traveling from its northern foot, one can indeed bypass Baishui Lake and arrive at Yuanyangbo. The Yinshan Mountains are a precipitation dividing line in China. The south of the Yinshan Mountains has fertile water and grass, while the north is arid and desolate. There must be  Only a guide who knows the way can find some water supplies.

    "Tens of thousands of troops crossing the Yinshan Mountains? How much baggage will it take!"

    "It may not necessarily be an army of tens of thousands, but maybe thousands of light cavalry"

    Xiao Shali was stunned, "If there are only a few thousand Qingqi," Xiao Shali seemed to be relieved and said, "What's the use of going to Linhuang Mansion! Yang Yi has more than a hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and there are more troops in Beijing.  What is going on is a decisive battle involving an army of hundreds of thousands! Not to mention thousands of light cavalry, even adding or subtracting 10,000 or 20,000 people will not affect the overall situation! Only the tens of thousands of people in northern Shanxi can really have an impact.  .¡±

    "If we want to attack from the north and south and wipe out our Khitan clan, we will indeed have to have tens of thousands of troops go north, or even Zhang Mai's entire main force in Ganliang to go north." Yeluwu questioned: "But if we just join forces, then thousands of troops will have to go north."  Soldiers and horses are also useful! No, the important thing is not the thousands of soldiers and horses, it is Xue Fu! It is the Sweat and Blood Cavalry Regiment!"

    "The Sweat Blood Cavalry Regiment is still here!" Xiao Jali said.

    The sweaty BMWs are always under everyone¡¯s eyes!  There was still definite news coming a few days ago.

      "Perhaps the sweaty horses are still here." Yeluwu questioned: "But the sweaty horses are not the same as the sweaty cavalry regiment! In fact, we have all unknowingly fallen into a misunderstanding, thinking where the sweaty horses are.  , the Sweat Cavalry Regiment is right there, butdoes it really matter whether there is a Sweat Horse or not?"

    Xiao Shali was stunned when he heard: "A bloody horseisn't important?"

    "It's not unimportant, but the most important thing is the meeting between Yang and Xue!" Yeluwu asked: "The most important thing for Yang Yi and Ying Yang's army now may not be the reinforcements of tens of thousands of troops, but Xue Fu  The appearance of. Alas! We were wrong, we were all wrong! How wrong! As long as Xue Fu can see Yang Yi For the army on the expedition to Mobei, it means that the north and the south will join forces, then that lonely army will  The army hanging outside may become different!"

    Xiao Juali was stunned for a long time, then suddenly smashed the table with a punch and said angrily: "Tang people! Tang people! Such cunning Tang people! They deceived us again!"

    Yelu Wuzhi suddenly thought of Xue Fu. In his impression, that man did not look like a cunning person. From his clear eyes, Yelu Wuzhi could be sure that the man's mind was very pure.  .

    "Perhaps he never thought about entering Yunzhou from the beginning!"

    Yelvwuzhi never knew what Xue Fu had said to Zhe Deku Zhao Pu, but at this time he thought of it.

    Thinking about it now, when did Xue Fu get involved in the changes in northern Shanxi?  No!  there has never been!

    It¡¯s all Cao Yuanzhong, Zhe Deku and others who are causing trouble!

    Of course, Zhang Mai seems to be cooperating with Qinzhou.

    Even Luoyang is "cooperating" unintentionally!

    When everyone in the world focused on Yan Yun, and Zhang Mai even sent Fan Zhi to make diplomatic representations about Yan Yun's matter, everyone was unknowingly guided by public opinion, and they all felt more and more that Yan Yun was very important.  He put most of his thoughts and energy on this. Even Zhao Pu, Xue Fu had clearly told him at the beginning: "I will definitely not enter Yanyun. Northern Shanxi is now just a scabies disease.  Gains and losses are not important, Huangshui's side is the key to life and death!"

    As a result, as the situation developed, even Zhao Pu, one of his own, suspected that Xue Fu had changed his strategy.

    But has the man in Ping An City really been shaken by this?

    "Perhaps from the beginning, that man was simply thinking about how to go north to follow Yang Yi back. If tens of thousands of people couldn't pass, thousands of people would go. The most important thing is that he wants to go!"

    Thinking of Yang Yi and Xue Fu meeting at the Huangshui River, thinking of the red satin blood spear and the eagle flag that Xue Fu had been carrying

    What kind of morale will the Mobei expeditionary force have at that time!

    What will it be like in Shangjing City at that time!

    Some readers suggested that you should not give up your monthly pass.  Well, I didn¡¯t ask for a monthly ticket this month. As a result, when I was typing, I was really cold and cold, but not passionate enough.  Well, I will ask for a monthly ticket at the beginning of next month, if for no other reason than to give me more motivation to write.

    Thank you all for following me all the way, I will continue to work hard ^_^ (To be continued)
