Chapter 1102: Wuhuan in Liaoxi Dispatch Troops to Lulong
Huangfu Chaobo was not very clear about the wars in other places at this time, and he had no intention to think about the wars elsewhere, because Zheng Xiong's battle report had been sent to him, and Su Li actually used Tangtougou Town to train troops. This matter had to attract Huangfu Chaobo's attention. After several days of fighting, Su Li's purpose was very clear, which was to use Tangtougou Town to let the Xianbei army practice how to attack the city. After his army became familiar with the method of attacking the city, After the method, it must be Tangtougou Pass and Longhua City. Suli's move has a great intention.
In Tangtougou Pass, Huangfu Chaobo looked at Guo Jia and Huang Xu and said, "So, Suli is eyeing Longhua City. Maybe Suli is the promoter of the Xianbei army's southern invasion."
"Yes, Su Li is well-known among the people outside the Great Wall, especially among the Xianbei people. He began to prosper during the Tanshihuai era of Xianbei. After Tanshihuai's death and the Helian era, he took advantage of King Xianbei's While Ting Wuxia was watching, he quickly rose up and became the largest group in Eastern Xianbei. If he hadn't suffered a big loss at the hands of his lord and General Baima, he might have really unified Eastern Xianbei and became Xianbei. A strong contender for the Royal Court," Guo Jia said thoughtfully;
Huang Xu also thought thoughtfully: "If this matter was all arranged by Su Li, then this person is indeed the enemy of our Han people. The biggest advantage of our Han army against the Hu people is the strength of the city and the strength of the armor. If the Xianbei people really learn how to attack the city under Su Li's arrangement, then the advantage of the Han people against the Hu people will be reduced by more than half. In this way, the Hu people will definitely become the enemy of my Han people. "
"It's just that at present, we don't have a good way to deal with it. Although Tangtougou Town is a strong city, it is too small and does not have many troops stationed at all. And if we give up so easily, it will be detrimental to the entire war. , It’s really a dilemma.” Huangfu Chaobo frowned;
After listening to Huangfu Chaobo's words, both of them shook their heads and said nothing. Indeed, in the current situation, although they knew that Suli was using Tangtougou Town to train troops, there was nothing they could do about it.
Several people have been thinking hard for a long time, but still have no solution. However, it is also a good thing to be able to use the city to consume some Xianbei people's troops and morale.
"Since we have nothing to do about Su Li's actions, what we can do now is to strengthen the defenses of Tangtougou Pass and Longhua City, in order to delay this pass and the city for a longer period of time, and wait for the development of the war in other places." Huangfu Chaobo finally said helplessly;
"Yes, Lord, there is one thing that we must start to prepare for, and that is to find out where the barracks of the Suli Army are. Based on a certain inference, the most likely locations of the barracks of the Suli Army are in Yisun Town and Siyonghe Town. One of the two places." As he spoke, Guo Jia walked slowly to the map and pointed at the two places: "The distance from these two places to Longhua is only more than a hundred miles, and this is a huge valley. It is just enough to accommodate the placement of the Xianbei barracks. Therefore, I suggested that my lord must start arranging people to find the location of Suli's rear camp. If we want to win this battle, we must make arrangements from this aspect."
"This is easy. You can reach the grassland all the way from Hutougou Pass to the north. Although this road is not wide, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses can still march. In the past few years, we have several We set out from here to the grassland for the first time, but each time, we arranged the exit of the grassland. If there is no problem, the exit should not have been discovered by the Xianbei people, because so far, there has been no abnormality in Hutougou Pass. Report the situation." After hearing Guo Jia's words, Huang Xu suddenly said from the side;
"Oh," Guo Jia said immediately after hearing this: "In this way, we can go around the back of Su Li's army from here. If it is really feasible, when General Zhao Yun's army arrives, we can go around from here to Su Li's army." Behind Li's army, he captured the rear camp in one fell swoop. In this way, Su Li's army had no choice but to be defeated. "
"Okay, Huang Xu, you immediately arrange one or two cavalry groups to set off from Hutou Gou Pass.
Take a detour to the grassland, find the rear camp of Suli's army, and then figure out their arrangement. "Huangfu Chaobo immediately ordered;
"Promise, I will make arrangements right away!" With that, Huang Xu saluted Huangfu Chaobo, then turned and left to make arrangements.
After Huang Xu left, Huangfu Chaobo discussed the war with the two of them for a while before continuing. Without him, a clever woman can't make a meal without rice. Now Huangfu Chaobo has not many problems with the defense force in his hands. If he goes to war, there will be Eighty-nine is a lost word.
In the battle in Longhua a few years ago, if it hadn't been for Gongsun Yue's 20,000 cavalry and tens of thousands of soldiers, the Longhua army led by Huang Xu would have had almost no chance of winning, let alone a full harvest in the end. Made a fortune.
Fortunately, more than 20,000 of the most elite Tang soldiers led by Zhao Yun are already on the road. It will only take about ten days to reach Yanbei. Qingzhou's tens of thousands of infantry have also been on their way for more than ten days. It is estimated that they will arrive in Yanbei in about ten days. They will be able to land at Leting in the next few days. Once these troops are in place, it will be time for the Tang army to switch from defense to offense. Moreover, hundreds of troops from Huyanda have now returned safely, which makes Huangfu Chaobo even more relieved.
On the tenth day after the start of Tangtougou Town, more than 20,000 elite Tang troops led by Zhao Yun finally arrived in Youbeiping. Almost at the same time, the 60,000 troops of Qingzhou also arrived in Leting and landed at Leting Port. With them, there were nearly 60,000 Qingzhou immigrants. According to Huangfu Chaobo's arrangement, these 60,000 people will become the subjects of Leting. Leting will recruit another 5,000 infantrymen based on these 60,000 people.
And a few days ago, what surprised everyone was that the Liaoxi Wuhuan suddenly sent troops to Lulong. The 40,000 troops set out from Liucheng and went directly westward, pointing to Jianping. Jianping City, which was caught off guard, only lasted for one day before it was captured by the Wuhuan army. Then the Wuhuan people left 5,000 people to guard the rear of their army, and more than 30,000 troops continued to advance into the hinterland of Lulong. In this way, the flank of Chifeng City was completely exposed to the front of the foreign army.
When the news reached Liaoxi, Gongsun Zan had just arrived at Lulong City with 30,000 cavalrymen. He was furious when he heard the news. He had never thought that his momentary negligence would lead to such serious consequences, but now he had no other choice. In desperation, he, who had originally disapproved of Le Ting's reinforcement of troops and dispatching troops to Liaodong, wrote to Le Ting and Huangfu Chaobo one after another, urging Le Ting to dispatch troops to Yangle in Liaoxi as soon as possible to threaten the retreat of the Wuhuan people. He also promised that after Le Ting captured Yangle and Liaodong, he would release Yangle into Liaodong.
