·"Zhang Ye, you must always remember that people who are not of my race will have different minds..." Quick
"We must not only support Jamukha to rise to power and become the Great Khan of Luobei, but we must also guard against him, plant a nail for him within Luobei, create conflicts within Luobei, and prevent him from being able to act as he should within Luobei. Arm command!"
"It doesn't matter whether Jamukha knows about the fact that we rescued Nurjiang, because regardless of whether he knows or not, he will definitely pretend not to know for the sake of the overall situation!"
"It's not the end for him to become the Great Khan. Luo Bei is no longer the same Luo Bei he used to be. He has to face the powerful Kipchak Khanate. Jamukha knows that he needs us. At this time, only we can help him! "
Speaking of this, Gao Shen's expression became more and more determined. He pondered for a while and continued to say to Zhang Ye:
"When the Sarge Conference is over and Jamukha becomes the Great Khan, I will go to the Royal Court of Luobei to meet Jamukha!"
"Zhang Ye, please tell Nurjiang for me and tell him that I am going to the Royal Court of Luobei this time to mediate the relationship between him and Jamuhe. As long as he pleads guilty and acknowledges Jamuhe's position, I can make Jamuhe Forgive him for his crimes and let him continue to lead his tribe!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Zhizhi was shocked. After hesitating for a moment, he said to Gao Shen: Quickly
"High Commissioner, I have no problem telling Nurjiang, but can Jamuka agree?"
Gao Shen nodded confidently and said:
"As long as we exert enough pressure, I believe Jamuka will be willing to compromise..."
"Although the commander-in-chief had previously promised Jamukha that he would be willing to assist Luo Bei with a batch of supplies as long as he became the Great Khan of Luo Bei, the commander-in-chief specifically did not promise to assist him!"
"I will go to the Royal Court of Luobei next. On the one hand, I will congratulate Jamuchen on behalf of the commander-in-chief for becoming the Great Khan of Luobei. On the other hand, I will also go to discuss the specific list of aid to Luobei. The commander-in-chief gave me the discretion to assist. This is One of the bargaining chips for me and Jamuka to negotiate!"
"In addition, I have also talked with the Solon Ministry in the past few days. We have reached an important consensus on the unity and peace within Luobei. We all do not want to see another killing in Luobei. Luobei should unite to fight against the Kipchak Khanate. , at the Sargar meeting, Sauron’s Ministry will express their opinions to Jamukha!”
"The Sauron tribe is one of the important powerful factions in Luobei. Jamuka must listen to their opinions carefully. Coupled with Nurjiang's previous supporters, I believe Jamuka will seriously consider our proposal for peace and make a decision. A choice that is in line with Luo Bei’s interests!" Hurry up!
Gao Shen's words immediately made Zhang Ye's eyes light up, and he immediately said:
"High Commissioner, don't worry, I will do a good job for Nurjiang and make him grateful to our army!"
Hearing this answer, Gao Shen nodded with satisfaction. As Ye Mingsheng made changes to Luobei's policies, they, the diplomats of the Fengwu Army, would also use more means to win over the various forces within Luobei. , exacerbating the conflicts between them and making them more dependent on the Fengwu Army to complete the tasks assigned by the commander... ·

Pingyang, at the foot of Eryang Mountain
It was still the traditional routine of the Fengwu Army. After hundreds of heavy artillery blasted half a stick of incense, tens of thousands of Fengwu Army officers and soldiers launched a charge towards the mountain. quick
In the past half month, the Fengwu Army has successively captured the last two strongholds of the Forbidden Army on the outskirts of Pingyang City, Lanjiapo and Helong Town, and wiped out more than 10,000 enemy troops. The siege of Pingyang City has been completed and the siege can officially begin.
Pingyang City is a city built on a mountain. Next to the city is Eryang Mountain, so this also means that you can attack Pingyang City from a high position on Eryang Mountain.
And this also leads to the fact that if you want to capture Pingyang City, the simplest and most effective way is to capture Eryang Mountain. If you capture Eryang Mountain, Pingyang City will naturally not be able to defend it.
.
At the beginning, more than 10,000 infantry troops of the Third Army fought with the Forbidden Army seven times on Eryang Mountain. In the end, they were forced to abandon Eryang Mountain due to too many casualties. Then Pingyang City was captured only three days later.
Therefore, after completing the encirclement of Pingyang, Yuan Song made the capture of Eryang Mountain his primary goal. As long as he captured Eryang Mountain, the Fengwu Army's artillery could be set up on Eryang Mountain and bombard the city from a high position. The Imperial Guards could only be passively beaten and had no way of fighting back.
The importance of Eryang Mountain. The offensive Yuan Song knew it, and the defensive Yang Chongqing also knew it very well. Therefore, he arranged 35,000 people from his 65,000 forbidden troops to Eryang Mountain... ···············
In addition, he changed his style from Huangfengling, Lanjiapo, and Helong Town, and ordered the defenders to fight the Fengwu Army to the end without giving in at Eryang Mountain. quick
During the attack on Eryang Mountain, the Fengwu Army was able to capture some mountain passes during the day through superior artillery fire, but at night they were often attacked by the Forbidden Army at night, and some positions would change hands and be recaptured by the enemy. This also made Yuan Song feel Yang Chongqing's determination to resist.
Seeing that the Fengwu Army's offensive was repulsed by the enemy troops guarding the mountain peak, Yuan Song, with a serious expression, put down the telescope in his hand. Seeing this, the Eighth Division General Ye Tao, who was in charge of the offensive, said with some shame:
"Master Yuan is giving us a chance. This time I will personally lead the team and we will definitely take down this mountain!"
Feeling Ye Tao's determination to succeed or succeed in his words, Yuan Song turned his head and glanced at him, then shook his head and said:
"Ming Jin withdraws his troops. Let's go here today and let the soldiers have a good rest!"
Ye Tao said anxiously after hearing this:
"Master Yuan, give us another chance..." Quick
Yuan Song turned a deaf ear to Ye Tao's request and walked down the watchtower. Seeing that Yuan Song had made up his mind, Ye Tao, although very upset and helpless, could only obey the order and withdraw his troops.
As the horns of the Fengwu Army camp sounded to withdraw troops, cheers of victory suddenly sounded in the Forbidden Army camp on the hilltop. They used the most vicious language to mock the powerlessness of the Fengwu Army officers and soldiers, but before they could become more arrogant, At the meeting, the heavy artillery of the Fengwu Army roared again, turning the hilltop into a sea of fire with flesh and blood flying across it once again.
Seeing this scene, Ye Tao, who ordered the artillery attack, felt much less angry in his expression. Yuan Song just asked him to withdraw his troops at the expense of the money, but did not say to stop the attack on the mountain. The artillery attack could still teach these bastards a profound lesson!
At this time, Yuan Song had returned to the camp and began to think about countermeasures.
At this time, although the Fengwu Army had an absolute advantage in firepower compared to the Forbidden Army, Yang Chongqing also understood this, so the Forbidden Army did not waste any time in Eryang Mountain and built on some key mountain passes in Eryang Mountain. They built a lot of strong fortifications, especially for the artillery of the Fengwu Army, and they built a lot of bunkers.
When the Fengwu Army was shelling, the Forbidden Army soldiers hid in bunkers. When the bombardment was over and the Fengwu Army charged, the Forbidden Army soldiers came out of the bunkers to meet the enemy. Because of the existence of these bunkers, the Fengwu Army's artillery was in trouble during the attack. , the damage to the Forbidden Army soldiers was very limited...
With the lethality of the biggest killer artillery being limited, although the Fengwu Army has been advancing, the advancement speed is very slow and the casualties are also high. quick
To be honest, in the face of such a tough battle, the traditional method is to use several times the force to attack. Yang Chongqing used this method to capture Pingyang. He assembled nearly 100,000 of the main force of the Forbidden Army to attack the 3rd Division of the 3rd Division of the Fengwu Army in Pingyang. A battalion of infantry, with a strength gap of more than eight times between the two sides, allowed Yang Chongqing to capture Pingyang in half a month.
After a series of battles, the total enemy force in Pingyang is still about 60,000, and the Fengwu Army has about the same number. The artillery advantage is not ideal in front of the enemy's fortifications and bunkers, so Yuan Song is now also There is no good solution.
After thinking about it for a while, Yuan Song believed that in this situation, the most effective way was to mobilize troops from the rear. With the addition of fresh troops, the attack force could
The speed will be much faster.
But should it be drawn from the Ninth Division in Jinyang, the Tenth Division in Jinzhong, or part of both divisions?
Just when Yuan Song was thinking about this issue, his new captain Lin Musen walked in and reported:
"Sir, Zhang Baihu from the Coordination Office came to see you and said he had important information to report..."
Yuan Song's expression suddenly became serious when he heard the news, and then he nodded to Lin Musen, who immediately took the order and left. quick
Soon Zhang Xiaojie from the Coordination Office came to Yuan Song. After meeting Yuan Song, Zhang Xiaojie directly reported:
"Master Yuan, our Coordination Office has received intelligence that an Eagle Division deployed by the Kipchaks on the border of Yongliang is heading towards Yunbin. It is expected that they will launch an attack on Yunbin within the next five to ten days!"
Yuan Song was also very surprised when he heard the news. Although he knew that Zhang Xiaojie must be very confident if he dared to report to him, Yuan Song had to be more cautious because the matter was so important and he immediately asked:
"Zhang Xiaojie, how sure are you of this information?"
Zhang Xiaojie said without thinking after hearing this:
"Master Yuan, our Coordination Office has cross-corroborated this news through multiple channels. It is almost 100% certain that the Eagle Division of the Kipchak Khanate will go south to Yunhe!"
At this point, Zhang Xiaojie hesitated for a moment, but still said in a low voice: Hurry up.
"Master Yuan, there is news from Yi Jing that the Great Khan of the Kipchak Khanate, Esdogan, wrote a personal letter to our commander some time ago. His attitude was very arrogant and he made many rude demands. We were met with The commander severely criticized them, so according to the character of the Kipchaks, they must have become angry and went south to invade..."
After hearing what Zhang Xiaojie said, Yuan Song nodded slightly and no longer doubted the authenticity of the news. He pondered for a while and asked again:
"How many people are there in each of the opponent's Eagle Masters? What is the general's name? Where will they enter Yunbin?"
Zhang Xiaojie immediately said:
"The opponent's general is named Tairak. He used to be Estogan's personal guard. Estogan became the Great Khan of Kipchak and promoted him to the general of the Eagle Division. The Eagle Division under his command did not have many troops, only 10,000 The combat effectiveness of human beings is not particularly strong. As for the direction from which they will enter Yunbin, our command and control office is working hard to investigate!"
Hearing what Zhang Xiaojie said, Yuan Song nodded in approval and said:
"I know what happened, and the army will be ready. Your brothers in the Coordination Office have worked hard. If there is any new information, send it over immediately!" Hurry!
Zhang Xiaojie nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and then retreated, not daring to waste Yuan Song's time too much. After he left, Yuan Song came to the sand table in the tent.
Although Yuan Song was unexpectedly shocked by the news that the Kipchaks were involved in the Great Zhou Civil War, he also had new insights when looking at the situation on the sand table.
This attack on Pingyang, although he knew that this was a head-to-head battle between the two sides, and Yang Chongqing did not have much room to maneuver with surprise troops, but Yuan Song knew the probability of the Forbidden Army winning this war with the current situation of the Forbidden Army. Very young, a smart person like Yang Chongqing would not fail to understand this.
At this juncture when the Luo'an court was experiencing internal and external troubles and was in turmoil, the Luo'an court could no longer afford to lose...
In order to win this war, Yang Chongqing can only use strange moves. Therefore, Yuan Song firmly believes that Yang Chongqing will not be willing to fail. He must be hiding something secretly!
So Yuan Song has been thinking about Yang Chongqing's other tricks. Although he didn't expect it, Yuan Song also saved a trick and arranged the 9th Division in Jinyang and the 10th Division in Jinzhong. This is a precautionary measure, just in case!
But today Zhang Xiaojie's intelligence report solved Yuan Song's confusion. quick
It turned out that Yang Chongqing was waiting for the Kipchaks to appear!
Although I can’t believe that Yang Chongqing, the God of War of the Great Zhou Dynasty who killed countless Kipchaks, would secretly work with the Kipchaks.
However, Yuan Song couldn't help but not believe the facts before his eyes.
However, Yuan Song also had a doubt. Since they had already colluded with the Kipchaks, why not let the Kipchaks send more troops south to Yunbin?
For example, if a Tiger Division and several Eagle Divisions are mobilized with a force of 40,000 to 50,000 troops to go south, then the Fengwu Army in Pingyang will be attacked from both sides and defeated!
Now that an Eagle Division whose combat effectiveness is not particularly strong goes south, it will not have much effect. Even if the Fengwu Army operates properly, it is not impossible to eat up most of the Eagle Division's strength!
Although he was still a little confused, a plan to lure the snake out of its hole gradually took shape in Yuan Song's mind... ··
