Chapter 1348 Hao Zhao Offers Advice
"Three Kingdoms Online Game: Princes Struggle for Hegemony ()"
In Shangdang and Nie County, Huangfu Chaobo currently lives in the best mansion in the city. However, at this time, Huangfu Chaobo is gathering a group of generals to discuss matters. Although he received the pigeon message sent back by Zhang Yan, he was not very clear about the specific situation of Zhang Yan's army, so Huangfu Chaobo did not give orders to Zhang Yan easily. Instead, he waited for Zhang Fang to arrive and to understand the situation of the battle in detail. Make a decision.
Now Zhang Fang has arrived in Nie County after several days of sleepless driving.
Huangfu Chaobo didn't care about Zhang Fang's hard work of traveling for days, so he immediately summoned the generals to discuss the matter and learn more about the specific situation of Changshan Kingdom's war.
After spending more than half an hour, Zhang Fang finally gave Huangfu Chaobo a detailed report on the entire battle.
"Your Majesty, I have not told you the entire battle situation exactly as it is. Before setting off, my father once said that he was willing to bear the consequences of Zhending's mistakes. He hoped that your Majesty could give him a chance so that he could put it into practice. Merit over crime, regain the true destiny for your Majesty." Zhang Fang knelt in the hall and cautiously asked Huangfu Chaobo;
Huangfu Chaobo coughed lightly: "The failure in this battle is not the fault of General Zhang Yan alone, so you don't have to worry about it. Moreover, now Wei Guo knows that General Zhang Yan has surrendered to me and wants to recapture it." It is not easy to truly conquer the cities, so since this matter has been revealed, Captain Zhang does not have to worry. "
"As for the arrangements for the follow-up war, I am also considering it. You can retreat and rest first. After I decide, there will be arrangements." Huangfu Chaobo was about to wave his hand for Zhang Fang to retreat and rest. At this moment, a voice Suddenly it sounded.
"Wait!"
Huangfu Chaobo raised his head and looked to the side, only to see Guo Jia standing up and walking towards Zhang Fang: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen already has some ideas in his mind about the arrangements for the follow-up war, and he wants to ask Principal Zhang about some questions. Lieutenant, please give me your permission!"
"allow!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Guo Jia saluted Huangfu Chaobo, then looked at Zhang Fang and said, "Colonel Zhang, how many troops and horses can Zhang Pingnan gather around him now?"
"Go back to Mr. Guo!" Although Zhang Fang has never met Guo Jia, he often heard Zhang Yan's explanations about the people around Huangfu Chaobo. Combined with Guo Jia's appearance, he immediately guessed who it was and hurriedly asked Guo Jiaxing After a salute, he replied respectfully;
"According to the king's previous arrangement, the Black Mountain Camp originally had a total of 25,000 people from five schools with four steps and one cavalry. Among them, there is one school each in Jingxing City and Tumenguan, and the other three schools are all stationed in Zhending City under the command of my father. In addition, there are still 15,000 county soldiers in Zhending City. After the battle that night, the army successfully retreated to Tumen Pass with less than 10,000 soldiers and horses. "
"What do Captain Zhang mean? There are still 20,000 soldiers in the Black Mountain Camp now?" Guo Jia asked;
"good!"
"Except for the fighting troops, how many more fighting troops can General Pingnan recruit?" Guo Jia asked again;
"This..." Zhang Fang pondered for a moment, thinking about how to deal with it. He accidentally looked up and saw Huangfu Chaobo looking at him with a smile. Suddenly, he remembered his father's instructions before he set off, Let yourself tell everything you know without hiding anything.
Thinking of this, Zhang Fang was shocked and quickly knelt on the ground and said to Huangfu Chaobo: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. The Pingnan Army was originally a bandit. Although according to Your Majesty's order, the best men were selected from among them to form the Black Mountain Battalion. Later, The army of the prefecture and state was also organized according to the court system. However, because they are originally from the mountains and fields and are unruly and unruly, among the eliminated personnel, if they are re-selected, they can still form about 20,000 soldiers capable of fighting. "
After saying that, Zhang Fang looked up at Huangfu Chaobo who was on the throne and found that he didn't have much surprised expression. He knew in his heart that the court probably already knew this and was just asking Guo Jia.
In fact, Zhang Fang's guess was not wrong. In the past few days, Huangfu Chaobo and Guo Jia had discussed many times. Regarding the changes in Changshan Kingdom,
The two people finally thought of an opportunity to turn bad things into good things. There was only one way: to gather an army and attack Taiyuan from Leping while Zhao was still unprepared, so that the hidden chess piece of the Black Mountain Army could play a role. Although no big fish were caught, if we could take the opportunity to pacify Bingzhou, the arrangements made by Tang State in recent years would not be wasted.
It is precisely because of this that Guo Jia asked Zhang Fang, and its purpose was to eliminate Zhang Yan's dissatisfaction. Although Huangfu Chaobo was not too worried that Zhang Yan would betray him, he would feel more reassured if he could confirm it. Some.
Hearing this, Guo Jia turned to look at Huangfu Chaobo: "Your Majesty, in this case, I suggest that your Majesty send an order to General Pingnan to recruit more than 20,000 people and replace the 20,000 soldiers with the soldiers from the counties and cities in each city. With an additional 15,000 troops, we are preparing to send troops to Taiyuan from Leping."
"Of course, in addition to the more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, Wei Chen also suggested that General Zhao Yun lead the white horse Yi Cong and the cavalry to join this army. In this way, the army will have 50,000 to 60,000 horse and infantry. "If they advance from Leping to Taiyuan County, I believe that even if Lu Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry comes back to support them, they will be able to protect themselves."
Guo Jia's words made everyone in the hall brighten up. Now the battle at the South Pass has temporarily stopped. After more than half a month of attack, the Tang army still has not been able to capture the South Pass, which shows how dangerous the South Pass is. Another point is that according to the news from Taiyuan, Chen Gong and Wei Xu have begun to rebuild a new pass at the north entrance of the valley road where the South Pass is located.
If the pass in the north is repaired, after the Tang army captures the South Pass, they will have to pass through the dozens of miles long valley road to rush to the north and attack another pass. In this way, who knows when they can enter Taiyuan County.
"Your Majesty, I think this is a great move." Huangfu Jianshou stepped out of the line and said;
The other generals also nodded in agreement. When Huangfu Chaobo was about to speak, he found that the young generals who were arranged to listen were eager to try, and Hao Zhao seemed to be hesitant to speak, so he asked: "Bodao, do you have any opinions?"
Hao Zhao saw that Huangfu Chaobo pointed at him, his face paused, hesitated for a moment, and said: "What the military advisor said is very true. I was thinking that if Lu Bu knew that our army had entered the Taiyuan Basin, he would definitely return from Yunzhong. We can first release the envoys from Jinyang for help, and after the envoys all go north, we can arrange the army to choose a dangerous place to set up an ambush. With a deliberate plan, we may be able to capture and kill Lu Bu in one fell swoop. If this is true, the pacification of Bingzhou is just around the corner."
