Chapter 1120: Battle of You and Bing

Just after Zhao Yun persuaded the Xianbei Chulian and Qujin coalition forces to surrender, he began to make intensive defense arrangements. You know, from the beginning of the war to now, no force has been able to capture so many Xianbei prisoners, and the rest of the battlefields have basically suffered defeats.

At this time, Huangfu Chaobo was discussing the situation of the war with Guo Jia and Huang Xu. Now the Tang army has regained control of Tangtougou Town, and 5,000 Tang soldiers have entered the town early this morning. After a day of sorting and preparation, the town's defense capabilities have been restored. However, Huangfu Chaobo is not very happy. Now the Xianbei army has begun to retreat, but he still doesn't know what the situation is. He only has 2,000 guards who can be used as cavalry. Now they have all been sent out, but today is the second day, and there is still no result.

"Fengxiao, in your opinion, there should be no problem with Zilong, right?" Huangfu Chaobo looked at Guo Jia;

"My lord, don't worry. General Zhao Yun has 30,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry. They only need to defeat the rear camp of the Xianbei people and regain control of Sihe Yongzhen, and then they can enter the town for defense. The Xianbei people who have lost their food and supplies will definitely not be able to hold out for long. Now General Gao Shun has also led his troops to follow the Xianbei people. I believe that there will be news tomorrow at the latest." Guo Jia said calmly;

Huangfu Chaobo also knew that with Gao Shun's caution and the powerful combat power of the Xianzhen and Tiebi camps, even if they could not fight against the Xianbei army, no one would be able to escape, so there was no need for him to worry. But now that we have finally reached the final stage, we can't help but feel a little uneasy. Thinking of this, he changed the subject.

Now the news that Zhou Qiang had subdued the Wuhuan in Liaoxi and occupied the three cities of Jianping, Liucheng and Yangdong had spread. Gongsun Zan generously acknowledged Zhou Qiang's occupation of the three cities and recommended Zhou Wen as the fourth-rank right army general and Zhou Qiang as the fourth-rank general of conquering the enemy.

Zhou Qiang's subjugation of the Wuhuan eliminated the threat to the east of Lulong County and Liaoxi County, which was a good thing for Gongsun Zan, so he was happy to do this favor. There is a difference between recommending and directly appointing. Recommending means that the two of them belong to the court generals, while if Gongsun Zan directly appoints them, it means that the two of them are generals under his command, Duke of Yan. There is an essential difference between the two.

"What does Fengxiao think Xiaoqiang should do next? And how should our army arrange its actions later?" Huangfu Chaobo asked Guo Jia;

"With Mr. Zhongxiang's ability, he will definitely persuade General Xiaoqiang to reorganize the army this year and send troops to Liaodong next year. And our Tang army must quickly eliminate the remaining enemies in Yanbei County, and then send troops to Lulong as soon as possible to assist the Yan army in suppressing the invasion of the majority of Xianbei in Lulong." Guo Jia said with a serious face;

Now Gongsun Zan has been attacked everywhere, with small and medium-sized tribes in the four western counties of Youzhou rebelling internally and the invasion of the Xianbei army externally. It can be said that there are internal and external troubles. Although Lulong has barely defended Pingquan City, the area north of Pingquan has all fallen into the hands of the Xianbei people, and the Wangmen tribe in Chifeng City is now unknown.

Now although the foreign rebellion in the four western counties of Youzhou has been completely suppressed, Lulong County in the east and Shanggu County in the west are already in danger. The situation in Lulong was relatively stable, but the situation in Shanggu was even worse. After more than a month of attack, the army of Kobineng finally entered Shanggu.

Yan Gang was now in tears. His luck was really bad. He had just taken over Shanggu for less than a month when he encountered the invasion of the Xianbei army. Although he led his troops to fight desperately, he was unable to do so. In addition, the troops that could be drawn from other places were also limited. After more than a month of defense, Guangning and Ningxian were successively lost. Yan Gang had no choice but to lead the remaining troops to retreat to Juyang and Juyong while urgently sending people to Jicheng for rescue.

Once Shanggu County was lost, Lu Bu's army's Dai County was also affected. After Kobineng's troops entered Shanggu,

they split into two groups and began to plunder the two counties. In fact, relatively speaking, when Shanggu was attacked by the Xianbei, the Dai County of Lu Bu's army suffered the most damage. Shanggu was separated from Yuyang Zhuo County by mountains, but it was not separated from Dai County, so more than half of the Xianbei army went to Dai County to plunder.

Fortunately, Gongsun Zan reacted quickly. After receiving the warning from Yan Gang, he ordered Gongsun Xu in Jicheng to gather 10,000 infantrymen to prepare. After the news that Shanggu was broken by the Xianbei army came, Gongsun Xu immediately sent the 10,000 infantrymen to Juyongguan to strengthen the defense of Juyongguan, so that it could be mutually supported with Juyang and Juyong. In this way, the defense of the two cities and one pass was basically stabilized.

It was hard for Lu Bu's army. They almost faced the simultaneous attacks of Kobinen and Budugen at the same time. Even though Lu Bu was brave and the Bingzhou Wolf Riders were also strong soldiers, they could not beat four legs with two fists, and were beaten back by the two Xianbei armies. Just as Dai County was being plundered by Kebinen's troops, Yunzhong County was also invaded by Budugenbu. Wuquan, Beiyu and Yuanyang cities were successively captured. Yunzhong Prefect Qin Yi and Yunzhong Commandant Song Xian had no choice but to concentrate their forces to defend the county seat Yunzhong City, while allowing the Xianbei people to plunder everywhere in Yunzhong.

Lv Bu, who was attacked from both sides, had to adopt Chen Gong's plan and ordered Zhang Liao to lead 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry to station in Pingcheng, and together with Daijun Taishou Li Feng and Daijun Duwei Hou Cheng, guarded Ke Bineng's way to the west to Yanmen, and then led tens of thousands of troops into Yunzhong, preparing to drive Bu Dugen's tribe out of Bingzhou in Yunzhong first, and then turn back to the east to meet Ke Bineng.

And in Shuofang County and Wuyuan County further west, Huangfu Chaobo's several allies were also struggling to hold on. Although the Xianbei people were not good at attacking cities, they did not have many troops to mobilize in Shuofang or Wuyuan. After struggling for more than a month, the four important pass cities of Jilu Pass, Gaoque Pass, Wujia River City and Manyigu fell one after another, and Qianman's tribe and Putou successively invaded Shuofang County and Wuyuan County.

Fortunately, after a month of hard work, all the grain in the two counties was harvested and stored. Now, in the two counties, except for some scattered player territories, there is almost nothing to plunder, and all of it has been concentrated in a few cities. Therefore, Qianman who attacked Shuofang and Putou who attacked Wuyuan, after losing soldiers and generals, attacked Bingzhou, and the benefits they finally gained could not offset the losses of the two troops, which can be said to be a big loss.
