The situation in northern Shanxi has fallen into a subtle change.
Yelvwuzhi was originally doing it with great enthusiasm for the strategy of pulling Shi Jin to defeat Heaven. When he saw that the Jin army was about to conflict with the Tang army, he was filled with the mentality of watching a joke.
But now, this enthusiasm and laughter are all gone. The reason why the Khitan lured the Jin army to go north was to let them attack Tiance and let the Jin army attack Tiance. The purpose was to delay the Sweat Blood Cavalry Regiment and prevent Tiance's northern and southern armies from joining forces.
But now Xue Fu is probably gone. It¡¯s like a golden cicada has shed its shell, and it¡¯s like pulling out the fuel from the bottom of the cauldron. The strategic purpose no longer exists. Is Gao Xingzhou a natural strategy? Who wins and who loses on both sides? What else does it matter?
"Should we raise troops to pursue him now?"
When several people were embarrassed, Han Kuangsi said.
"What's the use!"
Xiao Jali punched the pillar next to him!
"If the Sweat Blood Cavalry Regiment is a 50,000-strong army, our light cavalry can catch up quickly, but if they are also light cavalry, by the time we catch up to Yuanyangbo, they won't know where they went!"
And Yelvwuzi knew better that Tiance Tangjun had a kind of compressed noodle cake and compressed beef. After more than a dozen processes such as steaming, baking, peeling, folding, pressing, and antiseptic, it could be made into easy-to-carry meat cakes and noodle cakes. A large piece of compressed beef, a large piece of compressed flour cake, and a bag of tea. When you are hungry, just cut off a small piece of beef and a small piece of flour cake, and make a bowl of tea soup. Basically, you can eat meat and various kinds of soup. The trace elements are all present, enough to ensure the nutritional needs for marching and fighting.
Noodle cakes and meat patties are used both for military and civilian purposes. In order to ensure that the taste of civilian noodles and meat patties is not too compressed, the Khitan people once obtained some through trade, while military meat patties and meat patties are thicker than stones. Heavy. The Khitan also got some from the prisoners of the Tiance Army, but the Khitan couldn't get the recipe anyway.
Due to taste, cost and other reasons, this kind of compressed food cannot become the mainstream daily military ration. However, for a light cavalry raid, if one person and one horse are involved, three bags of supplies will be placed on the horse's hips of the light cavalry. It can also ensure that the soldiers and horses can travel a long distance. If there are two horses per person, one horse to ride and one horse to carry the load, the supply time will naturally be longer! If there are one person and three horses, there is guaranteed to be an empty horse for transfer.
Thinking of this, Yelu Wuzhi felt even more upset!
"If Xue Fu had the idea of ????doing this from the beginning, then it is almost inevitable that the sweat horse will not be used! No matter whether the sweat horse is sick or not!"
Yelu Wuzhi naturally knows that although the sweat horse is tall, powerful and precious. The endurance, explosive power, deterrence and bonus to soldiers' combat power are very powerful, but it is also troublesome to take care of them. What to feed, how to feed them, and even the living environment are very particular. Therefore, the bloody horse must be accompanied by baggage when going into battle. This is not the case with the Mobei horse. The Mobei horse is relatively short in stature, and its intimidation and explosive power are not at the same level as the sweat horse, but the horse is cheap and easy to live with. It has very low environmental and food requirements and good endurance. In frontal combat, the combat effectiveness of the unit knight cannot be greatly enhanced like the sweat horse, but it is a good choice to travel long distances and attack in a roundabout way.
"Why didn't I think of this! Why!"
In fact, he is considered the top wise man among the Khitan, but war is like this. Many decisions that seem to be taken for granted in hindsight are always unexpected before the answer is revealed.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
"Then what should we do now?" Han Deshu said.
??Inside the high-rise buildings in Yunzhou City. His mood is the most complicated. As a counselor with two legs, he has much more room for advancement and retreat than others. As for the local war in northern Shanxi, it seemed that the Khitan was in control of everything, so Han Deshu contributed most of his wisdom to the Khitan, leaving only a way for Tiance to retreat. But now that the situation has taken a turn for the worse, Han Deshu's thoughts have changed again.
Tiance is still awesome!
The more half-hearted a person is, the more he fears the strong! Seeing that Tiance Tang's army had gained the upper hand again without realizing it, Han Deshu wanted to hug his thigh again.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
"It is impossible to pursue a pursuit out of the city." Xiao Jali said, "And now that the Chile Chuan Tang Army and Gao Xing Zhou Jin Army are nearby, if he rushes out of the city to pursue a pursuit, there is no guarantee how they will react. Besides, if Xue Fu has already arrived at Yuanyang Bo, it will be faster to send troops from Youzhou than from our side!"
"Then now" Han Deshu said cautiously.
????????? Xiao Shali didn¡¯t answer and glanced at Yelu¡¯s house. In terms of military affairs in northern Shanxi, he was the highest official, but when it came to military and political offense and defense on a larger level, he had to listen to Yelu Wuzhi's opinions.
"For the time being, we must stand still." Yelvwu said: "First of all, the beacon fire to prevent Yuanyangbo is just a lure for the Tang army. Secondly, we have to wait for the attack from Youzhou."??Instructions. "
Having said this, Yelu Wuzhi was already sighing in his heart. If Xue Fu had indeed gone north, no matter how the battle to Beijing would develop in the future, at least his diplomacy and political strategy going south would have failed. But unlike Han Deshu's half-heartedness, Yelu Wuzhi thought more about the rise and fall of the entire Khitan clan than about honor and disgrace.
Confucius said that a city with ten families must be loyal and trustworthy. The prosperity of Khitan in the past few decades is inseparable from having such talented people in the clan.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
The beacon fire coming from the north shocked not only the Khitans in Yunzhou City, but also some senior officials in the Han army knew the meaning of the beacon fire.
When Han Deshu returned to his mansion, he heard Mo Baique asking for an audience. Mo Baique hurriedly came to see him and expressed his doubts.
"Your suspicion is correct." Han Deshu said: "It is indeed possible that the Tiance Army attacked Yuanyangbo in a roundabout way, and it is more likely that it has gone north now."
"They are going to make a surprise attack on Beijing!" Mo Baique felt inexplicable fear.
Different from Xiao Xiali's first reaction after hearing about this, "What use can thousands of people do to the decisive battle in Beijing?" Mo Baique was frightened by the Mo Dao Battle Ax Formation and was beaten by the sweat and blood in the Battle of Guanzhong. The cavalry regiment chases the scared man! Tiance's powerful sweat-blooded cavalry regiment is a symbol that is difficult to defeat for him. As for the number of people, it is secondary - how many people are there in the Modao Battle Ax Formation on the Huanma Highlands? How about containing hundreds of thousands of Khitans unable to make any progress and paying a heavy price?
This deep-seated fear of the Khitan-affiliated tribes is also one of the most worrying aspects of Yelu House, because once the Khan Blood Cavalry Regiment arrives at Shangjing City, it will not only cheer up the Tang Army, but also deal a blow to the morale of the Liao Army .
"It's not your turn to worry about going to Beijing." Han Deshu said.
It¡¯s not my turn to worry? Mo Baique couldn't help but complain - it would be weird if he didn't worry! If Shangjing falls. Even if Yan Yun's side plays well, there is no guarantee! Mo Baique couldn't help but feel his heart tremble when he thought of Yang Yi, who was said to be more famous than Xue Fu and Xi Sheng, leading an army of hundreds of thousands surging down.
Suddenly, he regretted not joining Bai Chengfu in rebelling against the Liao Dynasty.
"However, if you are still worried, I can show you a way out." Han Deshu said in a low voice.
"Please give me some advice, bachelor." Mo Baique hurriedly possessed him.
"In Yunzhou City, there is still a big man who can help the Tang Army!" Han Deshu said: "He is different from us. He has not received the news now. He may be worried. If you now"
Han Deshu stopped talking at this point.
"Bachelor meansCao?"
Han Deshu shut up.
Mo Baique was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, bachelor, for your advice."
When he was about to say goodbye, he suddenly remembered something and looked back at Han Deshu with extremely complicated eyes.
Han Deshu naturally knew what Mo Baique was thinking, but he didn't care. He wants to sell Tiance a good idea, but now he has to send someone to inform Cao Yuanzhong. If Yelu Household takes it, it will be impossible to clean it up. But if Mo Baique's people do it, no matter how it develops in the end, he There is still room for advancement and retreat.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
Cao Yangong hasn¡¯t returned yet, but Cao Yuanzhong has been keenly aware that the atmosphere in Yunzhou City has become strange. Even the post house, which was originally pretending to be relaxed, suddenly tightened its security and surveillance.
But what happened?
Cao Yuanzhong felt uneasy. At this moment, someone in the kitchen spread a "rumor"!
"There is a beacon coming from Yuanyangbo!"
Beacon fire?
Yuanyang Park!
Just two simple words. But Cao Yuanzhong has understood in his heart!
In the nearly half a year since last year, Tiance has spread spies in northern Shanxi. Naturally, he already knows that the Khitan has set up a warning beacon between Chilechuan and Linhuang Mansion - this is not something difficult to find out. After Cao Yuanzhong entered northern Shanxi, as the highest-ranking minister of Tiance in the region, all major news would eventually reach him.
As for the geographical location of Yuanyangbo. Cao Yuanzhong understands it better than anyone else!
"Xue Fu! You Dawanzi! You even hid it from me!"
At that moment, Cao Yuanzhong gritted his teeth!
He is angry! I'm not angry about anything else, I'm angry that I'm being used as a weapon by Xue Fu!
However, this anger only lasted for a short time, and Cao Yuanzhong regained his composure.
Of course he knows it very well. Xue Fu's strategic conception cannot be a temporary idea. It must be carried out over a long period of time.Since the arrangement was planned in advance, even if it was hidden from everyone, it would not be hidden from Zhang Mai.
¡°If Zhang Mai knew it but didn¡¯t tell himself, then Zhang Mai wanted to keep even himself in the dark!
In other words, it was not Xue Fu who used himself as a spearman, but Zhang Mai who used himself as a spearman!
"It's annoying!"
In an instant, Cao Yuanzhong thought that even though he had experienced so many things, his status in Zhang Mai's heart, not to mention being tied with Yang Yi, was inferior to Xue Fu - his political acumen, But his military acumen is even higher!
If it were someone like Wang Renyu, he would be so angry that he would resign on the spot and walk away to express his dissatisfaction; if it were someone like Guo Zhang, he would be like Zhang Mai If you don't trust yourself, you will be severely psychologically damaged, depressed and even unable to recover.
But Cao Yuanzhong was becoming an increasingly sophisticated political figure. His anger only lasted for less than a moment, and he regained his composure. He quickly thought about what kind of person Zhang Mai was.
"How could I be so confused and stupid before! I actually thought that I could compete with Yang Yi in the Northeast with my sharp tongue!"
However, when he thought about this, he did not think about it in an angry mood, but in this incident, he further understood Zhang Mai's temperament and his own situation.
He understands very well that although it is impossible to achieve achievements comparable to Yang Yi, the more favorable the military situation is to Tiance, the smoother his affairs will go.
What¡¯s more important is that Zhang Mai ¡°calculates¡± himself in this way. With his character, he must feel guilty about himself! The master is ashamed of his ministers. If the ministers are resentful, the master may become angry because of this, paving the way for the breakdown of the relationship between the king and his ministers. However, if the ministers are not worried or resentful and still act loyally, it will be different.
Zhang Mai feels guilty about this matter. In the future, he will compensate himself for other things - so in the short term, this is a bad thing, but in the long term, it is a rare political capital for himself and even the Cao family.
After thinking about this, Cao Yuanzhong not only calmed down, but even regained his motivation. After this incident, not only did he have a clearer control over the political situation within the Tiance court, but his temperament also improved to a higher level.
"Send a message to me and ask Yelu Wuzhi to come to the post house for a talk."
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
In Huairen County.
Zhe Deqin received a secret order from the Sweat Blood Cavalry Regiment!
Orders are passed down orally. No words left behind.
The secret order requires Zhe De to keep a low profile from today on, and all actions should be aimed at preserving Tiance's various military forces in northern Shanxi, and not to conflict with Khitan and Shi Jin for the time being.
Just when Zhe Deqin was puzzled by this secret order, another piece of news brought by the messenger made him give up all the urge to ask questions: "General Xue Fu has already gone north to Linhuang Mansion, and should have passed Yuanyangbo by now. , the army in Chilechuan is under the charge of General Li Yiyin. Also, the marshal may also go north and visit Chilechuan."
The messenger¡¯s words were emotionless. It made Zhe Deyi and Zhao Pu feel turbulent in their hearts. With their wisdom, they immediately understood the meaning behind the secret order:
Since Xue Fu has gone north and Zhang Mai is coming again, the focus of the entire international strategy at this stage will be on going to Beijing! If the battle at Shangjing is decisive, Yang Yi will inevitably lead his troops southward. At that time, Zhang Mai will advance eastward from Chilechuan. Two double attacks, the prestige is exciting to think about!
If there are more rebels in northern Shanxi at that time, if the Khitan has not left, they will be a turtle in the urn. Shi Jin's troops may not have the courage to challenge Zhang Mai and Yang Yi's coalition forces. It will be almost effortless to capture the entire northern Shanxi. !
And before that. It was unnecessary for Zhe De and the others to challenge the Liao and Jin armies with their weak forces.
"That's it." Zhe De sighed.
Zhao Pu was also sighing.
Xue Fu actually told him clearly at the beginning: "I will definitely not enter Yanyun. Northern Shanxi is just a scabies disease now. Gains and losses are not important. Huangshui is the key to life and death!"
Xue Fu told Zhao Pu at that time to let him enter northern Shanxi again, and told Zhe Deku: "No matter what Huairen chooses, he must cooperate with me in my major affairs. Gains and losses in northern Shanxi are irrelevant. Containing the Khitan soldiers and horses in Yunzhou is the most important thing." meritorious deeds."
The actions of Zhe Deqin and Zhao Pu during this period indeed played a role in diverting the Khitan's attention, but they were so deeply involved in the drama that they forgot Xue Fu's initial instructions - this was because they were too young, It's still due to lack of experience.
But in this incident, Zhao Pu also saw the characteristics of Xue Fu's mood.What I saw was not cunning, but innocence - a general who, having identified his target, could go straight to the point without hesitation.
"Let's respond to the state quickly! In case the Khitan and Shi Jin are so anxious to jump over the wall." Zhao Pu said to Zhe Deqi: "At the same time, the news must be spread. As long as the news is spread, the powerful powers in northern Shanxi will definitely wait and see. What we have to do now is, It¡¯s just dormant!¡±
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
In this struggle for balance between the Tang, Liao and Jin kingdoms in northern Shanxi, Shi Jin appeared to be the most passive.
When both Tang and Liao began to make new responses to the new situation, Gao Xingzhou was still unaware of the surrounding strategic changes! This is not Gao Xingzhou's own problem, but Shi Jin's failure to keep up with the entire diplomatic and espionage system, and Yelvwuzhi obviously does not intend to share the latest intelligence with Gao Xingzhou.
Before Gao Huaide came back, Gao Xingzhou had gradually discovered some of the shortcomings of Tiance's Tang army through scout tests again and again. If it was the Yelu house, it would be clear at this time why the Tang army had these defects, but Gao Xingzhou didn't know yet.
He said to the lieutenant: "Tiance originated from the northwest, and its foundation is shallow after all. Xue Fu is known as a famous general, but he also has some flaws in his marching and formation."
His evaluation was spot-on. This time Xue Fu left behind a group of sweat-blooded horses, but took away a regiment of 3,000 sweat-blooded cavalry. Each soldier was equipped with three horses, one-third of them were from Mobei, and one-third were from Mobei. One is a mixed breed, and one third is a party horse. If there are enough horses today, there will be no pressure to produce 9,000 war horses. Another characteristic of Xue Fu's Sweat and Blood Cavalry Regiment is that almost every cavalryman is proficient in equestrian skills. Taking care of the horses is a special skill, so it is no problem for one person to control three horses for marching.
After the three thousand core troops left, the main force of the army remaining in northern Shanxi became the Party Army. In addition, with the addition of a large number of auxiliary troops and the recently surrendered Chilechuan tribe, nearly half of the party elites were arranged in the northwest of Yunzhou, led by Li Yixiu, monitoring the north approach of Yunzhou City, so even if Li Yiyin followed Xue After complex arrangements and dispatching of troops and horses, the Tang army that entered the Great Wall inevitably showed flaws in its troop formation.
Gao Xingzhou did not know that the international situation had changed. He corroborated the information obtained by the scouts with the information brought by his son a few days ago, and immediately decided to march into the army. He was cautious but acted quickly. He carried out a small-scale night attack that night and burned down a camp of the Tang Army, causing considerable chaos to the Tang Army. The White Horse and Silver Spear Regiment won the victory. Everyone in the army was surprised and advocated. Take advantage of the victory and pursue it.
Gao Xingzhou did not expect victory to come so easily. Instead, I was a little worried that the Tang army was luring the enemy.
As a result, Li Yiyin reduced his troops and horses the next day and prepared to retreat to the Great Wall. At the same time, Cao Yangong was released.
Although Cao Yangong is not very old. But he still knew the seriousness and kept silent to Gao Huaide along the way. Therefore, Gao Huaide did not get any information from Cao Yangong. After returning to the army, he reported some internal situations in the Tang army to his father, and strongly encouraged his father to pursue him.
Gao Xingzhou then used the main force of his troops to chase Li Yiyin's tail. He was unable to retreat calmly, but he did not approach rashly. Instead, he sent a partial division of a thousand cavalry to the southeast to launch a surprise attack. Li Yiyin cut off the rear with Dangxiang's own troops. While fighting Gao Xingzhou in a battle of wits and courage, the thousands of cavalry rushed in from the southeast, causing chaos in the retreating Tang army. Gao Huaide even led more than ten cavalry to gallop among tens of thousands of people, as if they were in an uninhabited land! By the time Li Yiyin sent someone to help, Gao Huaide was already far away.
The Jin army won a complete victory in this battle. Although there were not many casualties, it disrupted the Tang army's position. What made Gao Huaide even more excited was that he actually captured more than 500 bloody horses in this battle. This was a huge undertaking. The achievement was more exciting to Gao Huaide than the beheading.
Thinking of defeating the Sweat Blood Cavalry, the White Horse Silver Spear Regiment was excited. Although Gao Xingzhou felt that the situation was strange, he could not help but be obsessed with the military spirit at this time. While reporting the victory to the rear, he continued to march. Although Li Yi Yin Jing After this defeat, he acted more cautiously and did not give Gao Xingzhou a chance to make a surprise attack. However, as he retreated step by step, Gao Xingzhou was forced out of the old site of the Great Wall!
Although Gao Xingzhou had always been suspicious, he couldn't help but get excited. He still restrained his subordinates and asked them to set up camp strictly and not to advance rashly to prevent the Tang army from cheating and making a surprise attack. However, he did not stop advancing.
At the same time, the good news spread to the south. In Yanmen Pass, An Chongrong heard that Gao Xingzhou had easily solved the siege of Yunzhou and even drove the Sweat Blood Cavalry Regiment out of the Great Wall. He couldn't help but be extremely surprised. Shi Chonggui was eager to try after hearing this, and he wanted to go outside the pass. To prevent being robbed of all the credit by the army in the middle.
Yao Yuanfu warned: "If you stay behind, if something goes wrong, there will be something strange! What kind of people are there in the Sweat and Blood Cavalry? They were the ones who beat the Khitan to a bloody head. Although Gao Xingzhou is known as a famous general , White Horse and Silver Spear are indeed the elite of our court. They may not lose if they fight against the Sweat Blood Cavalry, but it is absolutely impossible to say that they can win easily! ?There must be something wrong inside. "
"Although there may be problems," Shi Chonggui said: "But if Tiance is really a strong person from outside, and we continue to be so inflexible, I am afraid that the credit will be taken away by others. If we don't have credit, forget it, but if others have made great contributions, And we haven¡¯t even taken a step out of Yanmen Pass, so I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to explain it to my father at that time.¡±
"Stay behind. In fact, we don't have to rush for a while." An Chongrong said: "From Yanmen Pass to Yunzhou City, there is only Shuozhou and Yingzhou in the middle. Now we control half of Shuozhou, and Yingzhou's troops are not expected to come. Dare to intercept our army, set off from Yanmen and gallop with light cavalry, Yunzhou can be reached in a few days. We can wait and watch Gao Xingzhou's success or failure - if Gao Xingzhou succeeds, we only need to arrive before Du Chongwei Under Yunzhou City, the credit still belongs to us - after all, it is our duty to recover Yunzhou; if Tiance really has a treacherous plot, then we can ensure that nothing is lost."
Yao Yuanfu added: "In addition, there is another strategy. The Khitan has been unwilling to hand over northern Shanxi. It is because we have not fought a decisive battle with Tiance. Now that Gao Xingzhou has successfully entered the army, we can send envoys to Yunzhou to request Xiao Juli delivers the city. If Xiao Juli doesn't agree, we will make another plan. If Xiao Juli agrees, we can immediately send a light cavalry directly into Yunzhou. At that time, no matter how great Gao Xingzhou's contribution to the front line was, he could only They just made wedding clothes for us."
Shi Chonggui was overjoyed and adopted Yao Yuanfu¡¯s opinion. Immediately, while keeping his troops stationary, he sent envoys to Yunzhou.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
Not long after their envoys left the customs, Gao Xingzhou's envoy reporting the victory fell to Yizhou - this was the northeastern border between Shijin and Liao. Du Chongwei's east-route army had already arrived here. From Yizhou to the north, as long as they crossed If you cross the Ma River, you will enter the boundary of Youzhou.
Yizhou is not far from Yunzhou, as long as you pass Taihangxingkou.
After receiving the good news from Gao Xingzhou, Du Chongwei was not happy for a moment. But surprised.
"The surnamed Gao really solved the siege of Yunzhou and forced the Tiance Tang army to retreat?"
Not only him, but also Jing Yanguang and Fu Yanqing found it unbelievable, but what the envoy brought them was not just empty talk - there were fifty genuine and bloody horses as proof!
Others can be faked, even the head may be fake, but the bloody BMW cannot be faked, and there are as many as fifty horses in one breath!
The messenger said: "General Gao attacked the Tang army at night. He defeated Tiance. In that battle, he not only killed hundreds of enemies, but also beheaded a thousand people. He also captured more than 350 bloody horses. This is fifty of them. , the others are afraid of mishaps on the road, so they are temporarily staying in the army."
Du Zhongwei ordered people to fetch the sweat-blooded horses, and saw that the fifty horses were all extremely handsome - although these fifty horses were not the most purebred sweat-blooded horses. But the sweat that comes out is also red!
After verifying that the blood-stained horses were not false, Du Chongwei became overjoyed and summoned Jing Yanguang and Fu Yanqing to discuss it. Jing Yanguang said: "This victory came unexpectedly. If it hadn't been for these fifty sweat-blooded horses, I wouldn't have said anything. unbelievable."
Fu Yanqing said: "Things on the battlefield are dangerous and unpredictable. The white horse and silver spear were originally the elite of our court. I heard before that there was something wrong with Tiance's sweat-blooded horse. Maybe it was because Tiance had a gap in the Tang army, and Gao Xingzhou took advantage of the chaos. It¡¯s impossible to know how to attack it.¡±
Until now, even if Tiance is defeated, no one dares to underestimate the combat power of the Tang army.
Jing Yanguang added: "Before, the Khitan used the excuse that we did not have a battle with Tiance to keep delaying it. Now we are not only fighting with Tiance, but also achieving a great victory. Let's see what else the Khitan has to say. We have to send envoys again. , I want Yelu Shuogu to hand over the prefectures and counties as soon as possible!"
Fu Yanqing said: "Youzhou needs to send envoys, and Luoyang also needs to send a report, so that His Majesty will know how hard we have fought."
Du Chongwei said: "That's right!" He called Gao Xingzhou's envoy and said: "The White Horse Silver Spear Regiment is indeed well-deserved. If you go back and reply to General Gao, I will definitely report to Your Majesty and you will be rewarded! Tell General Gao to use his troops well." , I will send him more reinforcements." He also secretly ordered the envoy to ask Gao Xingzhou to send all the bloody horses over as soon as possible, "Not a single horse should be missing!"
They also sent envoys to Youzhou to urge Yelu Shuo to hand over Youzhou, and at the same time sent people to Luoyang to deliver a memorial, claiming to "behead 5,000 people and capture 250 bloody horses!"
However, just as the envoy set off, news came out from northern Shanxi that Du Chongwei wished he could grow wings and call the envoy back!
That news, like mushrooms after a rain, popped up from all the states and counties in northern Shanxi overnight: Xue Fu has gone north, and Zhang Mai is coming south!
The news was very concise, but it was like a wake-up call to Gao Xingzhou who had already chased him out of the Great Wall! Just a blink of an eye, white?The morale of the Silver Spear Regiment is like falling from a thousand-foot cloud to the ninth abyss!
It turns out that the Sweat and Blood Cavalry Regiment was not defeated by me!
Tiance retreated only because Xue Fu was not there at all!
Xue Fu is not here because he went north!
But that¡¯s not important. What¡¯s important is that Zhang Mai is coming!
At this time, Li Yiyin was still retreating, but Gao Xingzhou had no intention of attacking at all. At this time, anyone who is not a fool will know that the reason why Li Yiyin retreated was not because of defeat, but because they were waiting!
Waiting for Zhang Mai to go north, or even waiting for the Yingyang cavalry that defeated Mobei last year to sweep south!
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
It¡¯s the beginning of the month, please give me a monthly ticket.
Tomorrow¡¯s "Battle in Beijing Part One". (To be continued)
