The next day.
Young Master Liu took out 30,000 elite cavalry from Yunchong's Hu Ben Army and Rongwei Hou Cai Jun's army stationed in the north to supplement the damaged phalanx, and once again gathered 300,000 cavalry.
Forty percent of these 30,000 elite soldiers had followed Liu Dashao in the Western Expedition, and they were all elite soldiers and generals with superb cavalry skills.
Thirty thousand people were added, and Young Master Liu took the initiative to make them captains of ten, school captains and other leaders of the team.
After all, there is still no rule to avoid bringing in the old and bringing in the new.
The new army officers and soldiers gave enough respect to the veterans who suddenly joined.
After experiencing a bloody battle, although the recruits were still as unruly as ever, they no longer looked arrogant.
Facing the brothers who were talking and laughing yesterday but turned into corpses overnight, they have realized their shortcomings.
After careful consideration, Yunyang agreed to Liu Mingzhi's bold suggestion, leaving only 50,000 elite soldiers to guard the two cities of Yunzhou, and summoning 200,000 soldiers from the two prefectures to guard the city walls.
The rest of the troops went south and detoured, secretly sending troops towards the three cities of Jezhou, Yingzhou and Fuzhou.
The thirty-strong army regrouped, brought enough rations, and under the command of Young Master Liu, opened a mighty black line across the sky and rushed toward the northeast.
Liu Mingzhi was not worried about the food and grass for the war horses. In addition to the necessary food and grass, the war horses could have a good meal everywhere on the grassland.
A lone and in-depth running battle began quietly.
............
"Report to the Great Khan, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess's falcon message!"
Huyanjunyao has been sitting in front of the sand table for nearly two hours. Compared with the female bandit who was reclining on the seat in the past, the serious Huyanjunyao behaves elegantly, her pretty eyes are looking around, and she is a little more gentle. Virtuous.
The guard's voice made Huyan Yunyao come back to her senses. Her pretty eyes wandered towards the guard, with a little doubt in her beautiful eyes.
"Girl Lianlu's letter? Submit it."
"Please take a look, Khan."
Huyanjunyao took the letter and read it gently. Suddenly, Huyanjunyao's eyes turned cold, and the letter was held into a ball by her slender jade hands.
Hu Yanyu, Yan Yu, and the tribal leaders sitting around them instantly noticed the change in Huyan Yunyao's expression.
They looked at each other and looked at Hu Yanyu with doubt.
In the entire Huyan Royal Court, there is no one except Prince Huyanyu who dares to ask questions when he is sweating, thundering and feeling unhappy.
Princess Wanyan Yanyu sometimes had to run into trouble with the Great Khan.
Hu Yanyu felt the leaders' eyes looking at Hu Yanjunyao quietly: "Great Khan, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Huyan Yunyao glanced at the position of Du Lubu on the sand table with cold eyes.
"Yesterday, 300,000 Turkic cavalry approached the Dulu tribe. They threatened to join forces with the 200,000 tribesmen led by Ba Khan and four of them on my Khan's order. The leader of the troops was Hu Yanyu!"
"I?"
Hu Yanyu was confused and his eyes suddenly widened: "An enemy attack?"
"Obvious!"
"I hope Lianlu, Bahan and the four of them will be more alert, otherwise..."
Hu Yanyu bent down and looked at the map carefully: "Who could be impersonating me? Where did these three hundred thousand soldiers and horses come from?"
"If it comes from Ganzhou, Yunzhou, and Suzhou, there's no way they can't detect it!"
Huyan Yunyao's pink and white jade hands were clasped together tightly: "Dalong's 300,000 new army cavalry are led by Liu Mingzhi."
"That's right. Apart from him, with Yunyang and Nangong Ye's calm temperaments, they would never be able to make such a radical move."
"Only he would act so irrationally when using troops!"
"Could it be that he had already noticed Ben Khan's intention of garrisoning troops in Lubu, so he traveled a long distance to attack Lianlu and the others?"
Hu Yanyu sighed with a heavy face: "Khan, the reason is no longer important. I can only pray to the Wolf God to bless Lianlu and the others so that they can have their own destiny."
"We just received the message from the falcon now. It's too late for us to rush to help."
"Three hundred thousand dragon cavalry have been running wildly on our grassland for several days, and we didn't even notice any trouble."
"Is Liu Mingzhi too powerful, or we are too incompetent!"
Huyan Yunyao's lips parted slightly and she said quietly, "It's a perfect match."
"But the matter has come to this, I can only follow what the elder brother said and pray that Lianlu and the others will have their own destiny."
"Since Lian Lu sent a letter, it means that she has noticed something is wrong."
"If we can't beat him, we should have no problem retreating."
"My senior brother is not as familiar with the terrain on the grassland as our tribe. We have a good location, so we should..."
"Report! The eldest princess falcon sends a message!"
Huyanjunyao'e frowned slightly, feeling a little nervous and a little relaxed.
"Bring it!"
"yes."
After Huyan Yunyao read the contents of the letter, she stood up immediately, her wrists clearly trembling as she held the letter.
"One hundred and ten thousand, one hundred and ten thousand of our Turkic warriors were lost overnight!"
As soon as Huyanjunyao finished speaking, there was an uproar in the big tent. Everyone looked at Huyanjunyao or the letter in Huyanjunyao's hand with shocked expressions.
Hu Yanyu leaned heavily on the chair: "Before the war started, our Turks had already lost 110,000 troops. This... the Wolf God is not blessing us!"
Huyanjunyao stood for a long time, sat down heavily on the chair, threw the letter on the table, raised his hand and gently rubbed his temples, closed his eyes and pondered.
There was a moment of silence in the tent. The leaders of the various ministries were as silent as a cicada. They all held their breaths and sat in silence. No one dared to touch Yan Yunyao's bad luck at this time.
Yan Yu, who had beautiful eyes on the side, quietly picked up the letter and started reading it. After a moment, she put down the letter in her hand with an elusive look in her beautiful eyes.
I don't know how long it took, but Huyan Yunyao suddenly opened her pretty eyes and looked at Huyanyu.
"Is the day of the general attack tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow we will send troops to Shanhaiguan, and the day after tomorrow we will start beating drums to gather generals and attack the city in a big way."
Huyan Yunyao glanced at Yan Yu on one side: "Where are the soldiers and horses of the Jin Kingdom?"
"We have arrived thirty miles outside Shanhaiguan. Tomorrow twelve guards and horses, a total of 600,000 troops, will be able to reach Shanhaiguan."
"Wanyan Luoyue is the commander-in-chief, and Wanyan Chizha is the deputy commander-in-chief."
Huyan Yunyao glanced at the sand table: "Why are there only 600,000 soldiers and horses? Didn't it mean that the old woman also secretly trained 200,000 new soldiers?"
"It is said that they are also on the way. They should be able to join forces in less than three days. The authenticity needs to be verified!"
Huyan Yunyao nodded slightly and said in a low tone: "We still have 400,000 soldiers and horses, 200,000 soldiers and horses combined with the Jin Kingdom's main road army, and 100,000 soldiers and horses stationed at the eastern border. If we want to go deep into the hinterland of Dalong to fight guerrilla warfare, we only have to rely on the remaining troops. The difference between the 90,000 and 90,000 tribesmen is too great."
Hu Yanyu also frowned slightly and looked at Yan Yu aside.
Huyan Yunyao pondered for a moment and looked at Yan Yu on one side.
"Sister-in-law, this national war is related to the life and death of our royal court. Is it time for you to hand over the 200,000 cavalry from the thirteen divisions under your command?"
"Sister-in-law is a woman who understands justice well. She can't be confused about priorities!"
Yan Yu was startled, and her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly with a smile: "Sister-in-law can also lead the army on an expedition!"
The meaning behind Yan Yu's words has become clear!
Huyan Yunyao's pretty eyes gradually condensed: "This is the Huyan Royal Court, and this Khan is the Great Khan of Taichang!"
Yan Yu looked at Huyan Yunyao disapprovingly and stretched her plump chest.
"You can give it a try and see if the Huyan Royal Court will have internal troubles as soon as external troubles arise!"
Huyan Yunyao's expression changed and she was silent for a long time.
"Are you sure you want to go out on your own?"
"The order is correct, Yan Yu dare not disobey!"
"No jokes in the army!"
"A military order can be issued!"
