Chapter 1349: Making a Plan

"Pa bang..."

As soon as Hao Zhao finished speaking, Guo Jia clapped his hands and praised him.

"North of Jinyang are Langmeng and Yu County. As far as Jia knows, although Yu County is called a county, it is actually more appropriately called a pass. Ten miles south of the county seat is a pass called Shiling Pass, which is If our army controls the key point between the two cities, we will be able to capture Lu Bu in one fell swoop when he returns." Guo Jia said with a smile;

"What the military advisor said is true," Shi A said out loud: "Shiling Pass is indeed a good place for an ambush. When A was traveling with his master, he stayed here for many days. Although the pass is now dilapidated, The main body of the pass still exists. The pass passes right through the middle of the pass. The pass is about several miles long. If Lu Bu leads his army back, he can be surrounded in the pass and captured in one fell swoop. "

Hao Zhao said again: "Your Majesty, there is still a plan before the general. If we want to lure Lu Bu to lead his troops back south quickly, when our army leaves Leping, we can hide the whereabouts of the cavalry and only let Zhao Jun see a large number of infantry. This way As a result, the people who stayed behind in Jinyang could give the illusion that they were marching only with infantry and no cavalry. After Jinyang's messenger for help left, they quickly captured Langmeng and Shiling Pass to complete the campaign of beating dogs at the gates. potential.”

"Yes, this plan is very clever." Guo Jiadao: "If Lu Bu gets the news that the Black Mountain Army has only infantry troops to attack the Taiyuan Basin, he will definitely lead an emergency return. This will be more beneficial to the strategy of encircling and annihilating Lu Bu."

"Your Majesty," Huangfu Jianshou also said, "In this case, in addition to General Zhao Yun, General Dian Wei can also accompany him for safety reasons. After all, Lu Bu is famous for his strength..."

Huangfu Chaobo nodded: "Brother, what you said makes sense."

"Zhao Yun and Dian Wei obey orders!"

"We will be here!"

When the two heard the sound, they quickly came out of the queue and responded with clasped fists;

"I order you two, with Zhao Yun as the commander-in-chief and Dian Wei as the deputy, to lead a total of 30,000 cavalrymen including white horse Yi Cong and sudden cavalry, to Leping, join the 30,000 infantry under the command of General Pingjun, march west from Leping, and send troops to Taiyuan."

"The general has not received the order, but he must go all out to live up to the king's trust." The two men responded in unison;

Huangfu Chaobo nodded, then turned to look at Shi A: "Immediately send an order to Zhang Yan, instructing him to leave no less than 10,000 soldiers to defend Tumen Pass, and to gather no less than 30,000 infantry, and listen to Zhao Yun The two generals mobilized and sent troops to Taiyuan together. At the same time, they told him that the food and grass needed for the army to send troops would be temporarily taken care of by Leping and Jingxing, and Shangdang would soon mobilize the food and grass to go north. "

"No!" Shi A bowed and responded;

Although the distance from Nie County to Leping is only more than 500 miles, there are steep mountains all the way, and the roads are basically difficult for the army to walk. If it weren't for the fact that Leping direction has been arranging for people to move to Shangdang in recent years, the roads The situation has improved a lot, so Zhang Fang cannot rush from Tumen Pass to Nie County in three or four days.

If a real large army went to Leping, it would take less than half a month to twenty days to arrive. Therefore, Huangfu Chaobo only arranged for Zhao Yun to lead 30,000 cavalry and travel lightly, and it would only take about five or six days to arrive at Leping. , and at this time, Zhang Yan can also use these three or four days to gather troops and horses to prepare food and fodder. When Zhao Yun's army arrives, they will be able to send out troops together.

"Do you have any other suggestions?"

"Your Majesty!" Hao Zhao stepped forward again: "We request that we come together to fight!"

Seeing Hao Zhao's invitation to fight, Huangfuli, Zhou Xun and Zhang Xiong looked at each other and said, "Your Majesty, the generals are waiting to invite you to fight!"

Huangfu Chaobo was about to refuse, but Guo Jia suddenly came out and said: "Your Majesty, I think that General Pingnan needs to recruit tens of thousands more troops this time. After the previous raid by the Wei army, Pingnan's army has already suffered a lot of losses. With the increase in troops and horses this time, it is estimated that the generals may not be able to arrange them all properly for a while. It happens that the four young generals also need experience, so it is better to let one of them lead a school. I believe that with General Zhao Yun in charge, everything will be fine. "

Huangfu Chaobo was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak when he suddenly thought of Guo Jia's intention. The drunkard's intention was not to drink, and this was the best opportunity to intervene in Zhang Yan's troops.

Although Huangfu Chaobo believed that Zhang Yan would not betray easily, among the entire Tang army, only the Pingnan Army was special. If there was a chance to truly control the Pingnan Army, Huangfu Chaobo would not refuse.

Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo nodded and said: "Since you have asked to fight, I will help you. You can go out with General Zhao Yun. The four of you will each lead a school of infantry to go with you. Everything will follow General Zhao Yun's arrangements. There will be no error!"

When the four of them heard this, they were all overjoyed. They looked at each other and smiled, and hurriedly stepped forward to receive the order: "I have not received the order yet."

"Okay, please retreat. The army will set off for Leping in an hour."

"No!" After hearing this, several people took the order and left.

After a few people left, Huangfu Chaobo looked at Zhang Fang again and said: "Ai Qing, you have worked hard all the way, and then you can follow Gu Dajun to send troops to Taiyuan!"

Zhang Fang thought for a while, then seemed to have figured out something, and stepped forward and said: "Thank you for your grace, but I also want to ask for a battle. I will go to Taiyuan with General Zhao. I hope your Majesty will do it!"

Huangfu Chaobo was stunned for a moment, but he immediately realized that Zhang Fang must have received some instructions from Zhang Yan, so that was why he acted like this. However, since Zhang Yan is so knowledgeable, Huangfu Chaobo cannot be too stingy.

"Okay, in that case, you can go out with the army with the four of them. You can also lead a school of troops and go to Zhao Yun to obey orders. If you can make great achievements in Taiyuan this time, I will not refuse the reward."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. Zhang Fang will definitely live up to your trust." Zhang Fang was overjoyed and bowed;

It is said that the army traveled lightly, but with 30,000 cavalrymen and Dian Wei's 1,000 flying halberd soldiers, the camp was still busy for half a day to prepare all the supplies for the army's travel. Afterwards, Zhao Yun led the generals to leave Nie County and headed northeast to Leping. The messenger who ordered Zhang Yan to prepare food and soldiers had already set off in advance.

Five days later, the army finally arrived in the south of Shangai City. This was the fastest speed that Zhao Yun and his men could go. There was no way. The road was too difficult to travel. In the past two years, the Black Mountain Army had always had people taking this road to enter Shangdang, and then slowly stepped out a barely passable road. If the army carried food and supplies, it would take at least ten days and half a month to take these more than 500 mountain roads.

Outside Shangai City, Zhang Yan, who had already received the news, had led people to wait for Zhao Yun's army.

Seeing tens of thousands of cavalry approaching slowly like a dark cloud, even though Qing Niu Jiao and Zhang Baiqi were veterans of many battles, they were overwhelmed by this momentum. Now they understand why Zhang Yan did not hesitate to follow the king's order to reorganize the army a few days ago. Tang is worthy of being the number one vassal in the world. These 30,000 cavalry alone are enough to completely destroy the Black Mountain Army.
