Compared with Hulao Pass, the situation at Xue Rengui's Hu Pass is much better!
Originally, Xue Rengui used 30,000 troops to fight against Gongsun Zan and Yuan Chonghuan's 80,000 troops. However, Xue Rengui attacked decisively and knocked out the opponent's vanguard in one fell swoop, which also reduced the opponent's strength to 60,000.
Wei Qing had several battles with generals at Hulao Pass, but Xue Rengui just defended at Huguan. After all, Ran Min, the strongest person on Xue Rengui's side, was no match for Yuan Hong, so Xue Rengui would not be looking for trouble.
No matter how provocative Yuan Chonghuan ordered people outside, Xue Rengui just ignored them. Anyway, if you have the ability, you can attack me, but if you want me to get out, there is no way!
Yuan Chonghuan forced himself to attack the key several times, but under the joint defense of Xue Rengui and Lian Po, Huguan was like a thorny hedgehog, and Yuan Chonghuan and Gongsun Zan were unable to do anything.
Moreover, Xue Rengui and Hou Yi were able to snipe each other. Even masters like Yuan Hong and Gong Sunyang did not dare to enter the hiding range easily, let alone others.
"Fu Cunshen, I order you to lead 40,000 troops and support Hulao Pass in five days!" While thinking about the situation of merging the two places, Li Xiang was selecting suitable generals below.
Now Su Lie has been appointed as the governor of Liangzhou and has gone to take office. When he left, he also took a group of generals with him.
Of course, Yang Xuangan also appointed the deputy governor of Liangzhou as originally agreed. This is the condition for Li Xiang to agree to Yang Xuangan. Li Xiang will not make a mistake here. It is not worth it for Li Xiang to do this just for Yang Xuangan. After all, if Li Xiang broke his trust with Yang Xuangan, and if this matter spread, who would be willing to take refuge in Li Xiang again.
Besides, Yang Xuangan's contribution is indeed not small. Burning Yang Jian's food and grass, leading troops to create chaos in Chang'an, and opening the city gates, after this series of achievements, it is not unacceptable to give him the position of deputy governor.
At the same time as Yang Xuangan, Li Keyong took up the position of deputy governor of Liangzhou. This was Li Xiang's precautionary measure. Su Lie was pressing down on him and Li Keyong was watching beside him. Even though Li Xiang had doubts about Yang Xuangan's loyalty, he was confident that nothing would happen to Yang Xuangan.
In addition, after the captured Sui generals surrender, especially those hard-core ones, Li Xiang plans to select a few more to join Su Lie's men. He believes that these Sui generals can also play a role for Yang Xuangan. The role of checks and balances.
Bai Qi was also appointed governor of Yongzhou. However, although Bai Qi was still in Chang'an, Li Xiang did not intend to use Bai Qi this time.
As one of the main generals in this battle, Bai Qi's contribution was enough. Two of the three princes in Liangzhou were destroyed by Bai Qi. Even the attack on Chang'an also contributed a lot.
What's more, we can't just leave everything to those god-level commanders whenever there is a war. We have to give some opportunities to those below.
"General, take your orders!" Knowing that his chance had come, Fu Cunxen suppressed the surprise in his heart and immediately stepped out of the queue to answer.
"Jia Fu, Kua Fu, Luo Ren, Zhao Yun, Luo Cheng, Li Guang, Ma Wu, and Ma Cheng temporarily join your command and accompany the army to support Hulao Pass!"
"The last general takes orders!" Several senior officials and generals came out together.
"Guo Ziyi, you are the chief general, and Ma Yuan and Ju Yi are the deputy generals. You have ordered 30,000 men to go out of the Yellow River to support Huguan. Ma Kui and Ma Xiong will temporarily come under your command to obey your orders!"
After Guo Ziyi was defeated at the hands of Yang Su and was demoted, he performed exceptionally well in the Battle of Chang'an and made considerable contributions. Especially Yang Jian's death made him ascend to heaven.
"The last general takes command!"
It's not that Li Xiang doesn't want to send a general to Guo Ziyi, but there is no suitable candidate for the time being.
Now in Chang'an, during the Battle of Chang'an, Li Xiang was surrounded by four great generals: Xing Tian, Jiang Song, Jia Fu, and Pei Yuanqing.
But now, among these four people, Xing Tian wants to be by his side. Yang Jian has been in control of Guanzhong for many years, and Chang'an has just been captured. Who knows if there are any die-hard members of Yang Jian in Chang'an. In case the other party wants to play some trick that will kill them all, sometimes it's better to be cautious!
And Jia Fu was transferred to Fu Cunshen's side. There was no choice but to face many enemy generals in the direction of Hulao Pass. Pei Yuanqing is injured, and the side effects of his skills have not passed yet. His body is still weak, so let him train for a while!
As for the last Jiang Song, Li Xiang temporarily transferred him to Hezhou. Since the Battle of Yongliang, too many elite soldiers and generals have been transferred from the Binghe direction. As soon as the Battle of Chang'an ended, Li Xiang transferred Jiang Song there to avoid any problems there.
Moreover, after the Battle of Chang'an, Li Xiang could finally devote himself to understanding the situation in the grassland. He could also stir things up when necessary. Li Xiang would not let any overlord of the grassland easily unify the grassland.
Just like the current situation, the grassland is divided into several forces, which is better. We can bring the grassland to complete the reunification. Then the threat of the grassland to the Central Plains will be too great!
Facing a unified grassland, it often requires a unified Central Plains regime to compete. With the current situation in which all the princes in the Central Plains are fragmented, once the grasslands are unified, they will be easily defeated by each other. By that time, the Central Plains will be in real trouble!
According to the intelligence obtained by Li Xiang, Temujin's offensive is now quite fierce. Even if East and West Xianbei join forces, they are no match for Temujin.
This time, Temujin appointed Murong Ke as the main general and led a group of troops to defend Tuoba Tao in Eastern Xianbei. Temujin himself personally led another group of troops to attack Yelu Abaoji in Western Xianbei. Temujin tried to use this tactic of defending from the east and attacking from the west to defeat one of the parties as quickly as possible, and then turn around to deal with the other party.
Temujin's lineup this time was quite luxurious, including Muhuali, Gesuwen, Shatushe, Jebie, Monlik, Subotai, Huo'erchi, Yilugai, etc., and they won consecutive battles along the way. So far, Yelu Abaoji has lost more than half of its pasture.
It was under this situation that Li Xiang wanted to intervene in the grassland affairs.
After all, Nurhaci is still recovering from the loss of energy after the grassland war. In that battle, he was indeed beaten badly. Before he recovers to a certain state, Tong is afraid that he will not easily intervene in the battle situation on Temujin's side. If so, Temujin destroyed Yelu Abaoji during this period, and then turned around and eliminated Tuoba Tao.
Then, when Temujin confronts Nurhaci again, no matter whether Nurhachi has recovered his strength at that time, he will definitely end up with a failure.
If this script is followed, Temujin can truly unify the grasslands. Therefore, Li Xiang must find a way to add some congestion to the downstream.
Coincidentally, among the female generals of the Yang family, there happened to be a princess from Xi Xianbei. It was not difficult to use her to contact Yelu Abaoji. Li Xiang had some preliminary ideas before and handed them over to Zhang Yi for implementation.
Although the two sides fought several battles during the Grassland War, each also caused considerable damage to the other. Moreover, within Yelu Abaoji's power group, Wanyan Wu Qimai regarded Li Xiang as his mortal enemy. But there are so many grudges and grudges in the adult world. Real benefits are more attractive!
