After Ning Emei left the yard, Xu Fengnian, who was slightly drunk, was cleaning up the end of the stone table. The two deputy commanders Zhou Kang and Chen Yunchui came together, with a heavy face. Xu Fengnian had a little premonition and signaled the two big bosses on the side army to sit down. Sure enough, Chen Yunchui told a bad news. Tian Heng, the chief general of the Youzhou cavalry, divided his troops into two groups, and asked the deputy general Yu Luandao to lead 20,000 cavalry to continue to detour to Hulukou. The veteran led tens of thousands of cavalry to stop the two Liaos from Beimang and Beimang. The veteran led tens of thousands of cavalry to stop the tide.

The iron hoof on the eastern line fought and retreated three times, and in the end only four thousand cavalry were left, all of whom died in Jitoupo, which was bordered by Youhe Prefectures. Yan Wenluan had to urgently draw out 16,000 elite infantrymen from Youbei to reinforce and consolidate the Helan Mountain defense line in the northeast of Youzhou. During this period, due to the uncontrollable troops of Cai Nan, the governor of the Lianghuai River, who decided to watch the fire across the bank, the entire Hezhou was useless. Wang Sui's cavalry was as if he had entered a deserted land and rushed straight to the east gate of Youzhou.

Chen Yunchui sighed and said, "Although I knew that the court was unreliable for a long time, Cai Nan, who held more than 100,000 heavy troops, was at least considered Gu Jiantang's right-hand man. In the end, he didn't even have the courage to fight a symbolic battle. He didn't know whether it was Cai Nan's own intention or whether the new strategic commander Han Lin's civil servant secretly received the instruction of Tai'an City."

Jin Queqiao Zhou Kang snorted coldly: "There is no difference. Cai Nan is a dog raised by Gu Jiantang outside. Gu Jiantang himself is so good. It is also a dog that Zhao family threw two Liaos. This time, he avoided fighting and gave Wang Sui a big Hezhou hand. It is estimated that Cai Nan and Han Lin have a tacit understanding. The court hopes that Beiliang people will die. Gu Jiantang wants to preserve their strength so that they can bargain with the Zhao family in the future. Now the real direct troops under the command of Gu are the Duoyan Jingqin pulled by Tang Tiexhuang. If Cai Nan is seriously injured, he will never return to Tai'an City in this life."

Xu Fengnian shook his head and said, "Actually, Cai Nan and Han Lin are angry. Both of them want to fight this battle, but Han Lin wants to fight immediately, while Cai Nan is waiting for Gu Jiantang's secret letter."

Chen Yunchui and Zhou Kang looked at each other. Zhou Kang was impatient and couldn't hide his words. He lowered his voice and asked curiously: "Prince, is this the spy obtained by Fushuifang?"

Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "I had dealt with Yin Maochun and Han Lin's son in the foot of Wudang Mountain, so I did a shameful deal. This time, Han Lin took the initiative to reveal the true intention of the capital center, which is to show sincerity with Beiliang."

Zhou Kang said in surprise: "This is strange. Could it be that the Zhao family's children and Gu's surname have both gotten their brains on the door panel? Why did they suddenly change their nature and become a Bodhisattva who is kind to others?"

Xu Fengnian said in one sentence, "Gu Jiantang wants to fight because of the situation. Not to mention the grudge between him and Wang Sui, the son-in-law of the East Yue, Wang Sui swayed and left the eastern front, and it was obvious that Gu Jiantang was old face. No matter how hard Gu Jiantang could tolerate it, he had to consider the leisurely words of the court and the country. The reason why Cai Nan took action later was to cooperate with the two Liao border troops to fight a big battle. Before that, Wang Sui would naturally fight with our Youzhou defenders for a while. Only then could he and Cai Nan reap the benefits of the fisherman. For Gu Jiantang, this opportunity was really great.

Once successful, the border situation between the two dynasties on both sides of the Liao Dynasty can instantly transform from a lasting confrontation with equal force to the advantage of the two dynasties. As for the court... Han Lin didn't say much, I could only figure out some implicit meaning. It seemed that someone proposed a very offensive strategy at the small dynasty meeting, using Jibei and Hezhou as bait to lure the enemy into depth. In order to complete the deployment, not only Cai Nan, but also the only remaining Lijiayanbao private army in Yuan Tingshan, and Han Fang, the newly rising deputy general of Jizhou, will all become chess pieces that cannot be controlled."

Zhou Kang said, "This is a rare big deal in Tai'an City. Prince, those old guys who are in corpse and eat in vain, like Zhao Wei and Yang Shenxing, shouldn't have this courage, right?"

Xu Fengnian hesitated for a moment, his face was dim and unclear, "Chen Wang, the attendant of the Zuo Sanqi, and Sun Yin, who had just left the Imperial College, changed from the side of King Zhao Xun of Jing'an, to a new owner, Lu Xu. It must be the plan of one of the three. However, after this strategy was proposed, without the nod of Qi Yanglong and Huan Wen, and without the consent of Zhao Youling and Yin Maochun, he was destined to be unable to leave Beijing to convey to Han Lin in the local area."

Zhou Kang said with a strange expression: "Why does it sound like our Beiliang has received a huge favor?"

Xu Fengnian joked: "You can't say that. Tai'an City is a naughty and willful little bastard. Suddenly one day I knew that I had taken into account the overall situation a little. Although it was still a matter of protecting my own interests, it would inevitably make the adults next to me feel unexpected."

After Chen Yun smiled, he said worriedly: "Wang Sui's army is approaching. Will it affect the Hulukou war?"

Xu Fengnian nodded and said, "Of course there is an impact, but Wang Sui still cannot change the overall situation. And maybe Wang Sui has no idea from beginning to end. Yang Yuanzan, Liu Gui, and Huang Songpu who have returned to the scene are all blocking stones for Wang Sui to take charge of the military power of Beimang. He can rush to Youzhou with foresight. It is already reasonable in the old woman and Taiping Ling. Look, as long as the Eastern Front of Beimang was dragged into the mud by Gu Jiantang, and the destruction of Yang Yuanzan's army, Wang Sui will stand out in an instant and become a powerful figure who is not inferior to Dong Zhuo. By that day, it will be the beginning of Wang Sui's real skills."

Chen Yunchui sighed: "It's not the time to lose Hutou City, but it's impossible. Liu Jinu has done a good job. To this point, it can only be seen who can survive the war."

In the established strategies of the older generation of Beiliang aides and military leaders, although it was early to imagine that Beimang would use the whole country to attack Beiliang, which one is the breakthrough point, except for the two battlefields of Lingzhou, Liuzhou and Youzhou, it is obviously more reasonable than Liangzhou, where the troops are strong, Dong Zhuo made two unexpected actions one after another. First, he pressed the border of the third line, which minimized the combat power advantage of the single Beiliang cavalry in a certain state, and the tactical intention of the Beiliang border army to move around and move through their own perfection and developed post roads. Then he personally took the central line army and spared no effort to attack Hutou City without any losses. At the critical period when the main elite cavalry outside Liangzhou Pass quietly rushed to Hulukou, he "coincidentally" captured Hutou City, which was originally expected to defend for another two to three months.

Xu Fengnian said calmly: "The battle between Beiliang and Beimang actually had two turning points. Once, the Fuling cavalry general Wei Liang attacked rashly, and both sides set up ambush. Looking back now, it was indeed Dong Zhuo's appetite at that time. Unfortunately, because of the Fuling cavalry's young master Qifulong Pass, both sides failed intent, and inadvertently allowed Beiliang to escape. The second turning point was that Dong Zhuo tried to use Liuzhou again as a breakthrough point, allowing tens of thousands of Dong family members to hide from the center line, but was stopped by Chu Lushan's eight thousand cavalry. I originally thought that the gourd mouth would become the third turning point for Beiliang to take the initiative..."

Xu Fengnian laughed at herself, "It seems meaningless to say this now."

Chen Yunchui said seriously: "The heads of nearly 200,000 Beimang barbarians, especially Yang Yuanzan! Prince, how can this be meaningless?!"

Xu Fengnian was silent for a moment and said slowly: "I had only said some empty words that boost morale in the meeting hall. Since you, Zhou Kang, came to the door on your own initiative, I will open the skylight and say something bright."

Zhou Kang said in disappointment: "If you want to beat or scold me, the prince is free. Today I can still walk into this yard. I am already satisfied without being turned away."

Xu Fengnian waved his hand and said, "In terms of the cavalry, there are currently 30,000 left cavalrymen gathered by you Zhou Kang outside Liangzhou Pass, Tiefutu of Qidang Kingdom and Baiyugu of Yuan Nanting, plus He Zhonghu's scattered 40,000 Right Cavalry, totaling more than 80,000. It can be said that most of the combat power of our Beiliang border cavalry is here. On the infantry side, let alone the troops that have entered Huaiyang Pass and Liuya Fuling Town, Gu Dazu still has 30,000, and the old general Chen also brought some Youzhou infantrymen.

It is not wrong for you, Zhou Kang, to retract the area of ​​the Chongzhong area, but Gu Dazu was worried that all the 30,000 left cavalry were consumed in the exchange of troops, and it is not wrong. Gu Dazu had a saying that hit the nail on the head. Now anyone or any army outside Liangzhou Pass can die. As long as the new city can be successfully built before the third year of Xiangfu, it will be considered as a place to die. Then, all the mobilization and attacks of Huaiyang Pass and Chongzhong as their respective offensive and defensive centers need to be carried out around this purpose."

Xu Fengnian poured a glass of wine, dipped his fingers into the wine in the cup, and quickly pointed at the stone table, "The first complete line of defense outside the Liangzhou Pass is based on Hutou City as the core. The two towns of Liuya Fuling on the rear are used as involvement, and then sit in Huaiyang Pass, which is surrounded by dangerous and passive Huaiyang Pass and the two towns of Chongzhong Qingyuan, which tend to defend. As the second small line of defense under the large framework, they form horns. Even if Hutou City falls, they will not lose all the whole market. Now without the flesh-thorned thorns, the Beimang army has formed a trend of spreading the entire line. At present, excluding the heavy tombs, not only Huaiyang Pass, but also Liuya Fuling and Qingyuan Towns have faced the siege of the Beimang infantry.

, In my opinion, the Fuling willow sprouts can be lost, and even Huaiyang Pass can't be defended. Only Qingyuan, the military town cannot fall. If Qingyuan, which is the west gate outside Liangzhou Pass, not only will He Zhonghu scattered 40,000 cavalrymen in various places have to shrink, but Dong Zhuo will also fight as much as he wants to fight Liuzhou. Therefore, Zhou Kang, you need to rush to Qingyuan to intercept Dong Zhuo's cavalry that has been diverted. Not only will it block its troops from driving south too smoothly, but it will also strive to eat this cavalry with more than 40,000 people in one breath. For this reason, I will let Yuan Nanting transfer half of the Baiyuwei to cooperate with you and form our military advantage on the local battlefield in the Qingyuan area."

Zhou Kang frowned and said, "In this way, the surname of Shigetsu is Gu..."

Zhou Kang suddenly noticed the strange look that Xu Feng was young and quickly changed his words: "Will the pressure from Commander Gu be too high? Only 6,000 Tiefutu and half of the Baiyuwei, the war in Chongzhong Jun Town was completely lost."

Xu Fengnian glanced at the Jin Partridge and said in a deep voice: "So this is the price of Gu Dazu being passively beaten with the heavy tomb infantry army as a turtle, so that you, Zhou Kang, can gallop on the battlefield in Qingyuan."

Zhou Kang silently said nothing.

Xu Fengnian reminded: "I, Beiliang, care so much about Qingyuan's gains and losses. Dong Zhuo can probably see whether Qingyuan will become a trap for Beimang's siege to attack aid. This requires your left cavalry to judge by yourself after arriving at the battlefield. At that time, I hope you can tolerate the military achievements of thousands or even tens of thousands of people. Once you fall into the blockade of the main force of the Beimang cavalry, you should know that no one has the ability to sprinkle beans into soldiers, and there is no way to transform you into 30,000 cavalry to join the Qingyuan battlefield. Moreover, after the left cavalry and half of the white-feathered guards were surrounded by Beimang, let alone Qingyuan, there is no need to defend the heavy tomb. I, Gu Dazu, and Old General Chen, can only retreat to He Zhonghu's army in one breath, and there is only a city behind you that has broken ground not long after it started."

Zhou Kang suddenly asked in a low voice: "In the battle of Qingyuan, the attempts of both the enemy and the two sides are still not hidden. I believe that with Dong Zhuo's eyes, the Beimang barbarians are very likely to surround and fight. At most, they didn't expect that not only were all 30,000 left cavalry under my command, but even the Bai Yu Guards would cooperate. Since that's the case, the prince, otherwise we might as well set the target directly as the Beimang ambush? I have confidence in our crossbowmen. On my own territory, I will definitely be able to accurately find the Beimang barbarians' backhand. Moreover, even if we meet on a narrow road, we need to fight each other, Dong Zhuo's crow railing is not enough! Prince, don't worry, I, Zhou Kang, promised that I, would never do it by my own temperament. Just listen to Gu Dazu's all fighting on the left cavalry, mainly to preserve troops."

Xu Fengnian shook his head without hesitation and said, "I just tried my best to prevent myself from being too passive in Qingyuan. It's not that I don't want to bet on the sand table with Dong Zhuo with pride and gamble on the sand table once, but that's not that Beimang can afford to bet and lose, and at the least, he can still lose again, but we can't even squander one chance."

Speaking of this, Xu Fengnian asked with a smile: "General Zhou, do you feel very frustrated when you are fatal toads and snakes are full?"

Zhou Kang laughed and said, "It's a bit cowardly, but at least he is an old soldier who has been struggling and struggling in the blood of the Spring and Autumn Period for many years. He knows the importance of it. But to be honest, after arriving in Beiliang, so many years have passed. If the prince hadn't arrived at the heavy tomb this time, Gu Dazu might not have been able to stop me."

Chen Yunchui, who had been speechless, thoughtfully said: "You really need to reflect on yourself. Prince, you have seen and heard about today's meeting hall with your own eyes. Except for Commander Gu, I'm afraid that even me, you can't stand this tone. Yes, in the past twenty years, our Beiliang border army has competed with the Beimang barbarians. Not to mention the war between hundreds of people, we have never lost once in the battlefield with more than ten thousand people. So this time, Hutou City was suddenly lost, which caused the results of the war that was about to be obtained at the Hulukou. We seemed to be a little confused all of a sudden. We couldn't get back this stubbornness, and we might suffer a big loss this time. Prince, it's not me, Chen Yunchui, you have come in time."

When Xu Fengnian sent Zhou Kang and Chen Yun to the gate of the courtyard, he said to Zhou Kang for no reason, "If Dong Zhuo had two or more large-scale ambushers in Qingyuan, your left cavalry might as well consider the west side when choosing the direction of retreat. If it really doesn't work, go around in a circle and return to the Chongzhong."

Zhou Kang was stunned on the spot, "West? Prince, you're not far from the west, but you're going to border the Liuzhou border?"

Xu Fengnian didn't say anything.

Zhou Kang's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked carefully: "Your Majesty is talking about the Liuzhou war, can we take it?"
Chapter completed!
