"Aye, Bingzhou will fight against the Xiongnu, and I will not be able to look east. If you miss this opportunity, it will be a difficult year for the clan!" Duan Ji Lujuan took a step forward and said anxiously.
The war between Bingzhou and the Xiongnu was a big event, and it soon spread throughout the North, and naturally it also reached the ears of Duan Ji and Lujuan. The battle against Pingzhou has now reached a stalemate. With Duan's help, Murong Ke easily repelled the coalition forces of Pingzhou and Yuwen, but seeing the loss, Cui Yu immediately retreated to the prefecture. After all, he is the prefect of Pingzhou. As long as he wants to hold on to the city, it is impossible for him to capture it easily, whether it is Murong or Duan. In this way, it has become an extremely difficult thing to get the spoils from Pingzhou.
The locust plague in Youzhou shows no sign of subsiding at all. If the pasture is eaten up, what will they use to herd horses and sheep? If you want to survive such a disaster year, you must have more battles. It is not enough to just divide up Yuwen's territory. The nearby Jizhou is the best goal.
The newly built new port along the coast of Jizhou has accumulated an unknown amount of grain and grass. It is said that there are countless grain ships and grain trucks sent out every day. If it wasn't for the fear of Bingzhou, they would have already led their troops to seize it.
And now is the long-awaited opportunity. Bingzhou had to face the Xiongnu army, and all the troops were pressed against Hedong. Because of this, Duan Ji and Lujuan rushed back to Youzhou in the night, hoping to persuade his father.
Duan Wuwuchen also knew that participating in the battle of Pingzhou was not worth the loss, but behind the harbour, stood the fierce tiger of Bingzhou, sending troops hastily, can it really be conquered? After pondering for a long time, he said: "Now the Ministry can only send 15,000 cavalry, can you win the harbor?"
Not to mention that most of Duan's troops are still stuck in Pingzhou, and some of the remaining troops must be left to guard against the cunning and greedy neighbor of Tuoba. There are not many cavalry soldiers that can be used.
Duan Ji Lujuan's eyes lit up, and he said loudly, "Enough! There are homeless people everywhere in Jizhou. If they attack, there may be civil strife immediately. Why can't you take Haixing?!"
How high is the city wall and how strong are the defenders in a mere harbour? Moreover, Haixing Port is very close to Youzhou, if the horses rush to attack, I am afraid that the opponent will not have time to defend. Grain and grass are second, and if they can capture the wealth hoarded in the city, it will be an innumerable huge profit. That arrow of revenge back then, he must get it back!
Seeing his son's answer so affirmatively, Duan Wuwuchen finally put that worry behind him: "Then you will lead the army and pacify Jizhou!"

"General, the pseudo-Han invaded Hedong in a big way, do you want to send troops to help?"
The news of the war also spread to Yuzhou. At this moment, Wang Dun is leading the army to clear the bandits in Yuzhou, and there are also 20,000 soldiers and horses. If troops were sent from Yuzhou to attack the fake Chinese, it might have an unexpected effect.
However, in the face of the commander's suggestion, Wang Dun just said coldly: "Has the imperial court ever ordered me to help?"
These words are not good, and the general will quickly shut his mouth.
Send troops to help Chi Hedong? Only when he was dazed, Wang Dun would act like this. The tiger in Bingzhou has already become a climate. Not to mention Sima Rui, even the elder brother who actually controls the government, will not let him give aid easily.
Can we stop the Xiongnu, will we lose Hedong, and what does it have to do with Yangzhou? Rather than repelling the Xiongnu, they hoped to see Bingzhou and the puppets fall into a hard battle and lose both.
With a cold snort, Wang Dun said, "Bingzhou has strong soldiers, and has fought against the Huns several times, so why should others worry about it? If you focus on attacking the city, you won't lose a good fighter!"
Whether Bingzhou lives or dies has nothing to do with him. Or Yuzhou in front of you is more important!

It is also the same as the army. From Chang'an to Hedong, it is much closer than the army from Jinyang. However, Liu Yao did not rashly advance, and kept walking and riding in parallel, and entered Hedong, only to order Qingqi to start, and to explore the truth.
And this step really gave him a head start.
"The enemy wants to go to Yanchi?" Liu Yao was overjoyed when he heard the news.
Hedong Yanchi is indeed an important target for the two armies to compete for. But in order to defend Yanchi, it would be too easy to underestimate the enemy by abandoning such a big city as Anyi!
You must know that Bingzhou soldiers and horses are the best at defending the city. If they stick to Anyi, even his 100,000 army will not be able to easily break the city. But going out of town to fight in the field is another matter.
"You can't let them enter Yanchi, send troops to intercept them immediately!" Liu Yao made a decisive decision and ordered.
Most of the mountains near the Salt Pond are not conducive to the deployment of cavalry. If you let the opponent enter the Yanchi, and form a horn with Anyi, you can easily contain his troops. But is the 50,000 elite riders brought by him just for viewing
Following Liu Yao's order, the cavalry came out. After all, the speed of the Qingqi was not comparable to that of the infantry, and the Bingzhou soldiers and horses were stopped before they approached Yanchi. However, the other party's reaction was very fast, and they set up a car array and camped on the spot.
Just leave people behind!
Liu Yao did not expect the cavalry to break through the enemy line, and immediately ordered to build a camp near the enemy camp. The terrain he chose was much more favorable than the temporary camp in Bingzhou. There are hills as a barrier to guard against sneak attacks, and the enemy can be seen from afar. There are also rivers for the army to drink, and there is no danger of water interruption. Call it foolproof.
In the face of the threat of 100,000 troops, how could Bingzhou's troops still have a chance to withdraw safely? Seeing that they could not return to Anyi, the other party also began to increase their troops. The camp was also thickened to the naked eye. It's just that even Liu Yao never thought that he would see the handsome flag in the enemy camp in front of him!
"The sick seedling went to battle?" Liu Yao suddenly stood up and laughed, "Good day!"
Liang Feng actually played. Did he find he was at a disadvantage and wanted to boost his morale? However, what Liu Yao hopes most is to be able to lure the lord of this state. The two armies faced each other, and it was a field battle, and their own troops were still superior to the enemy. Isn’t this the best time to defeat the enemy? !
"Send troops tomorrow, and explore the enemy camp!" A sharp light flashed in Liu Yao's eyes, and Bingzhou's troops and horses hurriedly set up camp, and their defenses must not be comprehensive. And their own food and grass is insufficient, what is most needed is a quick solution. We can't wait any longer, we must fight as soon as possible!
The Huns were ready to go, and in the camp opposite, there were also fierce troops.
"There are more puppet Han soldiers and less food, so there will be no delay. I'm afraid there will be a war in the next two days." Sitting beside the sand table, Zhang Bin said.
This time, the posture of adding troops to Yanchi was exactly the trap he set. If the Huns did not stop them, they would split their forces and attack the enemy. If they come to block it, it is even better. The two armies will naturally be able to put on a confrontational position, and their "forced to be blocked" attitude is enough to make the enemy take it lightly and facilitate subsequent arrangements.
Now, the confrontation situation has been formed, and the commander flag of the lord has been shown again. It's not hard to guess the enemy's reaction.
"There are many enemy cavalry, and once the battle begins, they will attack first. Careful arrangements must be made before the battle." Yi Yan said on the side.
This is also the most critical point after the war. It is not easy to deal with cavalry that is almost as strong as oneself in the field. However, dragging the enemy head-on is the key to subsequent strategies, and there is no room for loss!
"Although showing the enemy to be weak is a sure-fire strategy, it doesn't have to be too restrictive. Killing the opponent's morale is beneficial to the overall situation." Liang Feng would not know where the key to this battle was, but he had no intention of retreating. This sentence is murderous.
Hearing this command from the lord, all the generals in the tent were full of enthusiasm and clasped their fists.
Standing at the head of the crowd, Yi Yan's eyes were also full of sharpness. This battle is the first time the lord has participated in the battle. Victory alone is not enough, the victory must be neat and tidy, so that the enemy does not dare to commit light crimes!
Just look at tomorrow, can you kill a game first!
