Xue Changxiong led the officers and soldiers of the Hejian camp to dispatch troops from the Hejian base. They were fully equipped with clothes and armor, sufficient food and fodder, and banners were everywhere. Faced with such a spectacular scene of dispatching troops, Zhang Xing, Zhang Dalongtou, the leader of the deposed Dragon Gang's northern advance, immediately ordered to abandon the farther and more prominent Wubao strongholds he had just occupied and to shrink the defense first.

But just two days later, as new military information arrived, he further upgraded the corresponding strategic level. "How many troops have been sent from the Youzhou camp?" Zhang Xing was obviously surprised. "Who is the leader?"

"Eight thousand, mostly cavalry, directly followed the Hejian Army's baggage team." Even Xiong Bonan couldn't hide his tiredness. It was obvious that he tried his best to send back the message. "The general doesn't know, but Youzhou Luo Shu, the second lieutenant general in the camp, and Li Li, the first lieutenant general in the camp, are among them, and these two are the only ones who make the final decision."

In the huge barracks, Zhang Xing said nothing, turned around, put his hands on the desk behind him, and quickly began to analyze. Youzhou Camp is the military force in Hebei that is not weaker than, or even surpasses, Hejian Camp. It is an important strategic fulcrum for the Wei Dynasty to maintain the rule of Hebei, including the North... In fact, two years ago, After the turmoil, Youzhou Camp has been firmly in control of the surrounding states and counties of the Yanshan Mountains with the governor state Youzhou as the core. Its influence even extends all the way to the three counties of northern Shanxi and the two leaders and one guard of Beidi. From the control area, state The number of counties and military strength are very exaggerated.

In particular, Youzhou's cavalry, which is a mixture of local war horses, armor from the Central Plains, and soldiers from the Northern and Jin Dynasties, is known as the most brave in the world. They are often seen in every dynasty's turmoil. There are many records in the history books. The formation of iron cavalry, led by some practitioners, plays a role similar to strengthening the zhenqi army formation. It often has no miraculous effect when it rushes wildly.

However, there is no reason why Youzhou Xiaoying can easily expand in such troubled times.

The first and most core issue is that the localization force of Xuejian Youzhou Xiaoying is very weak. In the future, when the authority of the imperial court is still there, it can still be suppressed. But in the current situation, Luo Shu and his son, the manager of Guanlong background, can basically fully control it. Under that theory, it is an integrated military group... Shen Yan is not one of the representatives of the local forces, but he is only one.

The second one, and also an important reason why Li Ding had no serious enemies this time and was relaxed before hearing the news, is that Su Jingfang was a serious Hebei marching commander. From a legal point of view, he had no control over the Youzhou small camp troops.

The two sides were having a lot of trouble.

With me, the little leader has something to say about himself, but the problem is, how can that mean he entered an army of tens of thousands out of thin air?

Moreover, when Tishenyan saw the Hejian army rushing up the mountain like tigers, he was determined to avoid the battle. He only said that on the other side, in Wu'an County, Li Cheng also received the relevant military documents. He read them for a long time, but only in front of the case. Sitting there, showing no reaction.

Thinking about what he had learned, Li Ding felt relieved for a moment, and then turned around and said, "You are here to fight a smooth battle, and you will fight tooth and nail for Zhang Xing and his son. As long as you reveal your flaws, we will treat it as nothing if you come here..." Of course, if you want to deal with it with 17% energy."

"If I thought I could win, why would I come to beat you?" Shan Tonghaire laughed. "But that's of no use. Back then, the emperor thought he could defeat Dongyi, but ended up losing eight times."

"Father" came up behind him. Xue Wannian, who was holding a small fish, stood firm and seemed not to be ashamed, but Xue Wanbi got the chance to speak. "I just crossed the river and encountered a good omen! We were marching, and the soldiers broke through the ice to observe the gap in the thickness. No white fish jumped out! If I remember correctly, it should be the incident that the ancestor emperor experienced when he set off on the expedition!"

Everyone's expressions changed again, and they all praised Zhang Longtou for his proper arrangement. While talking and laughing, tens of thousands of troops entered Shaolu out of thin air.

Of course, the officers and soldiers also had to pay the price for the timing of sending troops at that time. The roads were muddy and they came from a long distance. The front line would be easy, but the soldiers would be very hard.

"Master..." Qu Tuda, who had returned from delivering the letter, seemed determined and asked directly from the side. "After that, Master did not say anything and said that there was doubt that Zhang Baye would be defeated in Hebei. Was that the time?"

"I'm hiding it from Duke Wei." Shen Yan was sincere at this time. "In that battle, you don't have much hope. After all, we are attacking, and the troops are smaller than you think. The Wei court does not have enough appeal to allow us to maintain a united front as much as possible to suppress it. But on the other hand,

If you make a mistake, just guess that you will gather together as a group and build a good defense. If the soldiers come to block the water and cover it with soil, you feel that the other party can take advantage... Your original intention is to hold on safely during the peak flood season and wait for the weather to get cold. The army will inevitably advance on its own, and taking advantage of the situation to achieve results is... it doesn't even matter if the results are achieved, because the army will only become stronger day by day, and there will only be one between Youzhou Xiaoying, Hejian Xiaoying, Taiyuan, and Dongdu. Be estranged day by day, and time is outside of you. "

Cao Shancheng immediately smiled bitterly: "Little leader Zhai is overthinking it. Su Jingfang did not send troops this time for the battle last winter. The slogan was to avenge Zhang Shiyu. If anyone pretends to surrender at this time... don't If you say you're pretending to surrender, then even if you're really surrendering, I'm afraid you'll be caught in person and beheaded in public."

"The problem is that since the official army does not have such a small cavalry, there are fewer tactics available. Even if we are willing to sacrifice our lives for Su Jingfang, we must change our response strategy." Cheng Zhili thought for a moment and reminded him seriously. .

Others mentioned it, Chen Bin was startled for a moment, and then his teeth became sour on the spot... In front of the Bai Emperor, the sky cracked, and the ancestor Emperor Xiliang

The great country of Mi'er marched on seven fronts, a distance of 14,000 miles, and almost inherited the great achievements of the White Emperor and unified the world. However, it only fell short of the success. The few Guanlong warriors... Why did they simply change the allusion of the White Emperor's southern expedition? ?

Therefore, Li Ding once thought that Youzhou Xiaoying would probably sit back and watch.

"Is it possible to send someone to pretend to surrender?" The little leader Zhai Qian came to ask curiously, but he couldn't help but look at Cao Shancheng and the others. Zhai Qian realized: "That would save trouble, just to worry about no one surrendering to the enemy." Everyone. Suddenly, the atmosphere became more relaxed.

Several small leaders around and Zhang Balang's confidant leaders were not relieved when they heard the conversation. Of course, there are also some weird strategies and arguments.

Cao Shancheng thought for a moment and then asked seriously: "The leader is talking about the soldiers of Wu'an County." "This..."

"It doesn't matter. Now that you have guessed it, there is nothing you can do to deal with me." Shen Yan said with a smile. "When Dou Lide passes by, let Niu Da send troops from Chanyuan to attack Jijun in front of me. Jijun is the key point, and Dou Lide will definitely turn back. As for Li Cheng, I am already far away. As long as I delay sending troops for a few days, You will miss the possible battle. You can send another letter and let me delay it for a while. If there are those two weak soldiers, Xue Changxiong only leads one county soldier and cannot fight alone. He can only rely on Shen Yan and his son. , let’s leave some countermeasures to describe that Qian Tang and I hate Zhang Xing and his son because of Zhang Shiyu’s incident. When the time comes, we will definitely have a rift. "

Qu Tuda nodded in conviction, discussed the matter again, and turned to ask about official matters: "In this case, do you, Wu'an County, want to send troops?" PS: Thank you to Master Zongyue Qianwai for the Eighth Alliance.

Qutuda thought for a while and still answered: "But in that case, it is still impossible for Shen Yan to lose in this battle." Hearing this, everyone became less and less calm.

"Su Jingfang is quite decent. It's fair to say he is mediocre. But the problem is that I always think that I am very powerful and everything is correct." At this point, Li Chenghuai laughed on the spot as if something suddenly occurred to him. "The saying of doing small things without cherishing one's own life, and forgetting one's righteousness when seeing great benefits may not be correct when evaluating me as a person, but it is quite appropriate when evaluating my military habits...

"What do you mean..." Li Cheng spoke fiercely. "If that guy Zhang Bata makes a mistake and plays it safe and steady, with my best political methods and personnel strategies, there will be someone in Hebei who can rival me... However, I don't think too much, and my brain is often cold, so I don't have the time. Even if you know the dangers, you will still behave in an unbelievable way, which will lead to your own flaw or even your own destruction. "

"Dragon head." At that moment, Jia Runshi spoke after a while. "You will be in charge of the Wang Yi (General Staff) Western Front.

After calculating the paperwork, Xiaojia felt that we should be careful to the west... There may be government reinforcements coming from the west, and they would be elite and capable reinforcements, estimated to number tens of thousands of people. "

Hearing this, no one nodded in conviction, but no one looked embarrassed. Obviously, a tough battle of that scale and the reputation of the Youzhou Cavalry still made people feel guilty.

You should have seen the event. It is not an official draft of "Shao Song". You wrote two chapters while studying. It is estimated that the final 20,000 words will be gone when the manuscript is submitted. I hope you will pay attention to it in the near future... I wrote it. I had the same feeling two chapters ago, I really admire these little double-opening ones.

God, because you always beat Zhao Jiu into Li Ding.

However, the more this happens, the more likely it is that Luo Shu and his son would allow Shen Yanye to interfere in Youzhou affairs and hand over such a small force. And Su Jingfang was destined to be willing. Even General Xue, who was clearly engaged in Guanlong's position in the essence of Hebei Province, chose to win over local forces outside the Youzhou Xiaoying in order to overthrow the Li family and his son.

Because military power has indeed declined.

"That's not what happened. Leaders, if you don't have any good strategies for attacking the enemy, you might as well talk to them face to face." Shen Yan seemed to have noticed the special expressions on these people's faces, so he just urged to pass the order while asking for military advice.

In fact, it is difficult to say that the two sides can spell out an absolute advantage or disadvantage from the right time and place.

However, before the atmosphere calmed down a bit, the ensuing discussion contained a lot of useless content... To put it bluntly, when the army was reorganizing outside the small camp in Ban County, the "Wang Yi" was no longer a staff officer, although it was a copycat and a tiger. , but that’s all. A few people are responsible for considering the weather, a few people are responsible for considering the geographical environment, and a few people are responsible for calculating the surrounding invincible situation. It can also be said that there are no obvious omissions.

"Shen Yanye is almost bound to come." Shen Yan thought about it for a while, but it was right to be honest. "Cao Lin would let that opportunity pass, and even Wu'an County could not withstand the pressure and send troops... In addition, Xue Changxiong of Qinghe County was even more of a die-hard. After that, he tried to persuade him to surrender and attacked his heart several times, but all responded. This time we will definitely send troops to help, and it is very likely that we will delay trying to integrate possible reinforcements on the western front, and follow our retreat route before crossing the river that day to strike a powerful blow outside Ban County. "

Wei Xuanding nodded: "That's the truth, avoid fighting and be cautious. That is also the result of the discussion in the family later." Qu Tuda was slightly stunned and immediately agreed. "What about Su Jingfang?" Qu Tuda sincerely asked for advice.

"Send troops." Li Cheng blurted out. "But we need to send troops now... we will send troops immediately as soon as the urging documents from Dongdu arrive." "Beside him, all the young generals praised him one after another. Even Long Jun and Xue Shi did not disgrace the scenery, they were just flattering. "Look, who can resist such a powerful soldier and a thunderous strike?" In Leshou County, Hejian County, on the north bank of Zhuozhang River, Shen Yanye was riding under his horse, looking to the right and left, and spoke boldly.

However, just when Qu Tuda was about to leave, Shen Yan, who had not closed his eyes to rest, suddenly opened his eyes: "You can delay going! Stand back and see how many troops have been sent out by the Youzhou Army. I didn’t use my strength...report it in time...you have to be careful at home."

Leaders such as Hao Yide and Fan Yuan immediately followed, and even Di Shitong, Sun Xunzhi, Zhuge Dewei and others also expressed their stance. There is no Shen Yan yet. At first, everyone thought that if they didn’t communicate with him privately, something bad would happen between the schools. But if it didn’t happen, then it wouldn’t matter.

Niu Da is not an unexpected Duizi at all. There must be Shen Yanye. Niu Da has learned to be a surprise soldier. The one who attacked him now is basically there... And the Youzhou mentioned later Zhang Xiaolong said that if he wanted to take the small battalion of cavalry seriously, he was actually forced to make the most conservative response and throw away the winter's gains.

The other leaders of the Eastern Territory also became less awe-inspiring. Shen Yan came back to his senses and smiled warmly, "Yes."

But when the laughter stopped, Cao Shancheng became solemn again, glanced at the many people in the barracks, and then declared boldly: "The Hebei Rebel Army is on the opposite side of Su Jingfang and others! Although they can fake surrender, they are willing to surrender in the face of war. Be a pioneer and fight to the death! "

There are very few crows under the head. It is more complicated than catching fish in the cold spring. After all, there is still the river.

"Yes, yes." Dajia panicked inexplicably. "You are really thinking about this. You are trying to say that before our army crossed the river last year, Dongdu sent Dou Lide to lead an army of 10,000 people to cross the river and set up camp outside Jijun's ferry... It's just that you won too slowly and we didn't come over. The troops should have returned to the Eastern Capital. At this time, they received an invitation from Hejian, saying that they would come... Is Taishou Li of Wu'an County a close friend of Longtou, and he will also come to fight you? "

As for Xue Changxiong leading troops to join Su Jingfang's team, is there anything he can do about it? "That's right..." Wang Shuyong thought about it for a while, and it was indeed the answer. "Does Su Jingfang really think he can win this time?" Shen Yanye understood. That's not to be a bystander. A drip is a bystander.

Although Wang Rengong is dead now, it is possible to change the chaotic situation of Youzhou Xiaoying internally and externally.

According to Bai Meisi's account, Jin later

In the chaos in the north, several people including Bai Hengqiu, Yingying Gongqiu from Taiyuan, Su Jingfang, the commander-in-chief of the Hebei march in Hejian, Luo Shu, the commander-in-chief of the small camp in Youzhou, Wang Rengong, the prefect of Yanmen in northern Shanxi, local heroes from Youzhou and Jin, and The mud-blood tribes from the Northland and the Witch Clan's territory have all been trying to suppress each other, making it difficult to tell the difference between you and your enemy.

"For example, when he deposed Li Li last year, he clearly had no firm footing before crossing the river and ran a long distance, so he was completely unable to fight. However, I was frightened by the battle in the plains and retreated directly, missing the best opportunity.

There was no sound in the barracks, except for the clerical officers and clerks who were recording. However, those words that seemed to have been unprepared for a long time were not heard yet.

Let some of the relaxed people look more relaxed afterwards.

Everyone laughed.

"Is the leader really confident?"

But they still came... Only seven people from the Long Army and the Xue family arrived together, but there was a general. This shows that we are not as divided as we appear on the surface, and there will still be internal strife and delay.

"That's natural." Li Ding replied to Rejing, as if he had something to answer. "I am passing on your military order to throw away all the strongholds including Leling and retreat to Ban County and Pingchang County. Hold the city on the right and left, with Douzigang at the back for defense... Raise a small base, There are more than 80 kilometers between the two cities of Pingchang in Ban County. The defense lines between the schools are sparse and connected... In addition, when the surrounding soldiers and horses retreated, they broke the roads and broke the bridges along the way. As far as the officers and soldiers are concerned, the so-called fighter aircraft only lasts for a few dozen days before and after the storm. If it can be delayed for one day, it will have no effect. "

At the beginning, the meeting naturally started with Zhang Xiaolong's remarks that justice is in you, your army is divided and united, and the official army seems weak, but in fact they are constraining each other internally and externally, so justice must prevail in the end.

Many young people turned pale.

"But until today, deposed Shenyan has been prepared. What kind of elites are the 70,000 tribesmen? With the strong city defense camp and more than 100,000 field soldiers, it is not enough to cope with the situation of all parties. Su Jingfang, because of a short Lingxun During the period, I thought I had gained something. I was fighting at all costs to attack. However, as everyone knows, the fighting opportunity is just a fighting opportunity. It is far more effective than catching a surprise attack or waiting for it to happen... You would like to see it. , It’s just a chance of ten days, if I attack, what will happen?"

And just when the army was finishing and marching proudly while the Zhuozhang River had not yet thawed, the Supervising Army Sima Chen Bin suddenly noticed that Wushu Cavalry was coming in the opposite direction of the retreat. The leaders were the Eighth Lang and Qi Lang of the Xue family who were the rear vanguard. , and they are not brothers Xue Wannian and Xue Wanbi, so they are not surprised.

Looking back at the current situation, the most advantageous thing about deposing Li Li is not the cold weather. The weather is getting warmer, and during the period from thin ice to melting ice, the north and south of the river are basically completely isolated from a military point of view.

However, few leaders still had doubts.

"Then let's talk about the opponent." Li Cheng said in a hurry. "You often say that guy knows how to fight, but compared with my political and personnel skills, it seems that he knows how to fight. In fact, I have no talent. I am especially good at grasping vital points and killing with one blow, including timely pursuit. , turn big victories into small victories, expand small results, and change the overall situation... Therefore, if I lose, I must lose at the hands of someone like you, or at least a military commander of the same level, but what about Shen Yanye? What can win against Zhang Ba?"

Of course, the Deposed Dragon Gang was more open-minded and talked a lot, but four out of ten of them still stayed at the small camp in Ban County to fight back.

The leaders dispersed, and Li Ding left the small and crowded barracks. He was left with only a few confidants and a few core members of the gang who had crossed the river. At this time, Chief Wei Xuanding, who had been silent since then, finally asked This sentence came out.
