Chapter 1,274: Attacking the Tang Alliance
Huangfu Chaobo looked at a few people and said: "My dear friends, once Zhao Guo pacifies the north, it will have no worries. You can be sure that King Zhao will next target Yan Guo or Gu, so as to In your opinion, what should we do now?"
"If Zhao Jun goes south, there are only two ways to go to Shangdang and Hedong. Now the population of Shangdang has reached nearly 300,000, and the people's sentiment has basically recovered. Therefore, please order General Dianjun and Captain Shangdang to send Shangdang to Shangdang as soon as possible. The troops and horses have been replenished in place, and training has been stepped up to prepare for the invasion of Zhao Jun," Guo Jiadao;
"Does Tianyu's army need to return to Hedong? Or continue to attack Shangjun?" Huangfu Chaobo asked;
"In my opinion, it doesn't have to be like this. Even if Lu Bu's army goes south, it won't be that easy. It just requires the king to order the expansion of Yingyang's army in Hedong and strengthen the defenses in the north. And if Tian Yu's army can Capturing Shangjun will pose a threat to Zhao's flanks."
"In this case, I immediately ordered Hanoi and Shangdang to increase their troops and strengthen their defense." Huangfu Chaobo said after hearing this; then he carefully discussed with several people the intelligence of the surrounding princes, but they did not see it. Nothing unusual, but Huangfu Chaobo always felt that something was wrong, but he could never find anything wrong, and finally had to give up.ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм
Before he could continue to delve into the matter, the chamberlain came to report, and Kong Rong, the minister of Honglu Temple, came to report that the Qin envoy had arrived in Luoyang and was currently placed in the Honglu Temple Post House, and had submitted his credentials. , requesting your Majesty to see you.
As early as half a month ago, Qin had secretly sent an envoy to Luoyang, saying that Qin was willing to form an alliance with Tang. Now it was the envoy who came to discuss the alliance.
In fact, for Guanzhong, the Tang State initially hoped to pacify it first, and then set its sights on Hebei and Bingzhou. However, Zhao State suddenly started a war on two fronts, and Wei State sent troops to Yan State, which made Huangfu Chaobo's idea come true. changed. At the beginning, the kings and ministers of the Tang Dynasty had a dispute over whether to pacify Guanzhong first or attack and annex Hebei first. However, Huangfu Chaobo considered that it would be easier to pacify Guanzhong than to attack and annex Hebei, so he decided on the strategy of first west and then east. Now it seems that, He felt that he needed to make an adjustment. Therefore, Huangfu Chaobo agreed to the request of the two families to form an alliance with each other, so the Qin State sent people to Luoyang to discuss the alliance.
…
Wei State, Bohai County, Nanpi City, Wei Palace, Wei King Yuan Shao sits majestically on the throne, with a group of confidants sitting next to him in two rows in the palace.
"My lords, I have summoned you all this time to confirm the progress of the war." Seeing that all his close advisers had arrived, Yuan Shao said slowly, "Master Xu, how is the war in Zhuo County now? "
"Back to your Majesty, now the soldiers and horses from Zhongshan and Hejian counties have begun to attack Zhuoxian County, and reinforcements from Yan State have also arrived on the north bank of Taoshui. According to intelligence, King Yan is preparing to send additional troops and horses to support." A man with a three-stroke mustache Xu You came out and responded; New 81 Chinese website is the fastest updated computer version:
"How is the situation with King Zhao?" Yuan Shao nodded and asked instead;
"The news came back from Daijun that King Zhao has handed over the task of conquering Shuofang to Zhang Liao, the general of the Zhao army. At present, King Zhao has personally led 15,000 Bingzhou wolf cavalry towards Daijun to attack Shanggu. General Cao Xing of the Zhao army has also led his cavalry to Daijun. After the two armies join together, they can go south to join my king's army. "
"Okay, in this way, we are no longer afraid of the Tang Army's cavalry, and now Hua Xiong of the Tang Army has led 10,000 Xiliang cavalry to attack Shangjun.
As a result, now only Zhao Yun's 10,000 white-horse Yicon and thousands of ordinary cavalry are left in Wei County. Where are the two generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou and your two armies now? "Yuan Shao nodded with satisfaction, then looked at the two generals beside him and said;
Hearing the words, the two men hurriedly marched out of the queue. Yan Liang replied in a buzzing voice: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. After several days of marching day and night, the army has arrived at the predetermined position in the early morning of the day before yesterday. It only needs the King's order to launch an attack." "
"The general is already in place here!" Wen Chou also replied;
"How is the situation in the south?"
This time it was Xunkan, the minister of Honglu Temple, who came out to answer: "Back to your Majesty, the armies of King Qi and King Wu in the south are already in place. However, the relationship between the two families is not harmonious, and coupled with the restraint of the Langya Army, the strength of the two families has been reduced. Not much. The King of Qi promised to send 80,000 to 100,000 troops, while the King of Wu only had 50,000 to 60,000 troops. However, both armies are well prepared, and we, the Wei Dynasty, need to send troops first."
"Hmph... two families of rats..." Yuan Shao snorted unhappily when he heard this. However, he had no choice but to think that after he defeated the Tang army, he would definitely make the two families look good.
…
Huangfu Chaobo and everyone in the Tang Army didn't know that an alliance surrounding the Tang Army had revealed its sharp claws towards them.
In fact, at the beginning, the people of the Wei State had no intention of targeting the Tang State. In the eyes of Wei's monarchs and ministers, the first thing they had to do was to destroy the Yan State, seize the horse breeding base in Youzhou, and then turn around to deal with the Tang Army and the Tang State. Zhao State.
However, last year, after the State of Zhao was raided by the State of Tang and lost its Shangdang, Chen Gong thought hard for nearly half a month and finally came up with this plan to attack the east and west. After that, he personally rushed to Nanpi, the capital of the King of Wei, to persuade the State of Wei to help with the feint. , to contain the Yan army's troops.
It was also because of the Tang's successful surprise attack on Shangdang that the people of Wei were wary of the Tang. Chen Gong's move reminded the people of Wei. Under the reminder of the prime minister Guo Tu, the king and ministers of Wei discussed for nearly three days and finally decided on a strategy.
Later, under the leadership of Wei, Wei, Zhao, Qi, and Wu secretly formed an alliance to attack the Tang. The purpose was that the four alliances attacked the Tang army together, weakened the Tang to the maximum extent, and then destroyed it.
In order not to alarm the Tang, the Qi army also specially deployed a large number of troops in the three counties of Beihai, Donghai and Pengcheng after the beginning of spring, making a gesture to fight against the Langya army, but only half of these troops were elite, and the rest were newly recruited soldiers. These troops were deployed here, and although the attack was slightly insufficient, the defense was no problem.
At the same time, the most elite 80,000 troops of Qi had quietly gathered at the border between Tang and Qi, ready to launch an attack on the Tang at any time.
As for the State of Wu, because Jiangdong also needed a large army to defend against the severe cold in the south and Liu Yao in the west, and it did not trust the State of Qi in the north, a lot of troops were tied down in several directions, and in the end only 50,000 elite troops could be dispatched.
