Now that the battle strategy was decided, Yue Qiong headed towards the city of Wei County.
The Jinzhou Army is now in Weixian County, and Yue Qiong's tent is set up on a school ground in the south of the county.
When they got to the tent, Yue Qiong asked, "Is there a letter from Ge Shangshu?"
Asked such a question, the lieutenant general beside him shook his head and said, "Not yet. Seven days ago, it was said that the follow-up food and grass were cut off. Now the army is in Yingzhou, and there has been no news since then."
When Yue Qiong heard this, his complexion darkened.
At that time, Yue Qiong was shocked when he learned that the Rong and Barbarian clans merged and invaded. He only thought that the national disaster would come down. At that time, he sent several military messages to Lin'an. The letter came quickly, but in fact the reinforcements did not arrive!
And they first stayed in Fengzhou for half a month, and then joined forces with Yan Chi to drive back the Rongman. Now a month is almost over, but Ge Yang's people have no news after arriving in Yingzhou. The more Yue Qiong thought about it, the angrier she became.
The general is outside, and the military order is not accepted, but similarly, the people in Lin'an City don't know that Rong Man's ruthlessness is bound to be bloody, and they have never seen the brothers around them who are not trampled by Rong Man's horseshoes. No matter how many wars there are in the northern border, Lin'an City is always prosperous and prosperous.
Thinking of these, Yue Qiong's heart sank to the bottom.
Although both Yan Chi and Zhao Shuhua have temporarily agreed to join forces with Yue Qiong, Yue Qiong understands that all this is temporary.
Just before he got to the handsome tent, he saw Yan Qi waiting at the door, and when he saw Yue Qiong came back, Yan Qi cupped his hands, "Master Hou, everything is settled?"
Yue Qiong nodded and entered the tent, Yan Qi followed, "How is it?"
Yue Qiong said, "After three days, we will lure the enemy. We will see how the Rongman responds. If we send troops to chase after us, we will surround and kill the pursuers. If there are too many pursuers, we will raid the main camp of the Rongman. Today we need Send spies to Luofengpo to investigate."
Having said that, Yan Qi smiled and said, "That's right, now that we have no numerical disadvantage, we can fight Rong Man head-on."
Yue Qiong nodded, "I hope everything goes well. If we can drive Rongman out of Canglong Mountain this time, not only the northern border, but even Shuoxi will be stable for many years."
Yan Qi frowned when he heard this, "Why is Hou Ye still thinking about Shuo Xi?"
Yue Qiong was drinking tea. Hearing this, he put down the teacup and said, "There are also Zhou people above Shuoxi. In front of foreign enemies, Zhou people are naturally one."
Yan Qi laughed and shook his head and didn't say much, "What Hou Ye said makes sense, since that's the case, I hope Hou Ye will win the next battle."
Yue Qiong responded with a smile and didn't say much. Seeing that Yan Qi was about to leave, Yue Qiong said, "Did your Highness receive a letter from Ge Yang?"
Yan Qi paused and shook her head, "No, it's Ge Yang's letter, shouldn't it be given to Lord Hou?"
Yue Qiong smiled, "It's nothing, it's just that they haven't heard from them since they arrived in Yingzhou. It's been many days. They said they were raising military rations in Yingzhou, but now they haven't sent any letters after many days. I don't know if they encountered something. situation."
Yan Qi's eyes flickered, and he said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, Weicang in Yingzhou sent out military rations once before, but now they can't get them out again. I'm afraid Ge Shangshu is just worrying about these things. Now that we have no worries about numbers, the most important thing is to fight the enemy well."
Yue Qiong was naturally not a person who would give up everything, so he nodded in agreement.
Yan Qi smiled and walked out of the big tent, feeling even better as soon as he got out of the tent.
Seeing that he was proud of himself, Lu Xiao went back to his tent and asked, "What is your Highness so happy about?"
Yan Qi laughed, "I'm afraid Ge Yang won't come to reinforce the north."
Lu Xiao raised his eyebrows, and Yan Qi said, "Father hates the queen very much, and he can't tolerate Yan Chi. I guess I know that Yan Chi has come to reinforce the north, so most of Ge Yang's people are going to go to the west. .”
Lu Xiao frowned, "Your Highness means..."
Yan Qi laughed loudly when he heard this, "Yan Chi is working hard here, the rear base camp is about to fall, you are not ridiculous."
Lu Xiao followed with a smile, not knowing what to say for a while.
Ever since he was besieged in Fengzhou for many days, Lu Xiao was somewhat grateful to Yan Chi for his reinforcements, but obviously, his master didn't think so.
"Then, Your Highness, we don't need to do anything, do we?"
When Yan Qi heard this, his eyes were quite meaningful, "Of course we have to do it! Although Ge Yang is going west, but if Yan Chi reacts and turns back, the outcome will be unknown. The best ending is to let Yan Chi They stay north forever."
…
Yan Chi went back to his own camp, first explained the battle strategy to the generals in detail, and then received Mr. Qi's letter. Mr. Qi said in his heart that everything is as usual in Shuoxi, so Yan Chi can just rest assured. He also said that the military rations and other supplies would definitely not go wrong, etc. Yan Chi saw it and felt at ease.
Shuoxi is his second homeland, and now it is the rear of the country. If something happens to Shuoxi, he must be unable to take care of it and fall into a passive position.
Thinking of this, Yan Chi frowned slightly. He also knew about the imperial court sending troops to reinforce him, and probably knew it better than Yue Qiong. did not arrive.
Yan Chi couldn't help calling Yu Qi over, and asked, "What happened to Wei County?"
Yu Qi hurriedly said, "No, today's alliance meeting, everything in the county is as usual, the last general even sent someone to the city to look at it, the Jinzhou army is well-trained and well-organized, although they are preparing for battle these days, they are still practicing, More than half of the generals in the battalion are old people brought out by the Marquis of Anyang, which is quite reassuring."
Only then did Yan Chi nod his head. He believed in Yue Qiong, but he didn't believe in the Northern Expedition army led by Yue Qiong. The balance of interests involved, even if Yue Qiong was the commander, he couldn't make full decisions. Therefore, he had to be on guard all the time. After a pause, Yan Chi continued He asked, "What's the news from Ge Yang?"
Hearing this, Yu Qi shook his head and said, "I set off more than half a month ago, but I encountered problems not long after I set off. The military rations given by Luozhou Weicang are all moldy rations that have been stored for many years. There is no way to eat them. The rations that had been prepared were reduced by half, so Ge Yang asked his troops to stop in Yingzhou, and asked people to continue to contact the court to collect rations. The state sent out military rations once, and now no matter whether it is Yingzhou City, Weicang, or the surrounding small towns, there is no surplus rations, so Ge Yang delayed it, and the news sent three days ago said that it was just raising money. 20,000 shi."
Yan Chi frowned immediately, "Ge Yang led an army of 70,000, but only had this little food, so he didn't dare to rush north."
Yu Qi nodded, "Then the imperial court transferred 50,000 shi of grain from Yuzhou and was about to send it to Yingzhou. At the latest, Ge Yang will not set off northward until four or five days later."
Yan Chi squinted his eyes, "Pay attention to Ge Yang's movement, he has been procrastinating like this, I'm afraid he wants us and the Beifu army to lose at the front line, and when he goes north in a few days, most of the Rongman has been consumed by us, At that time, it will be difficult to say who Ge Yang's target is."
Thinking of the possibility of Yan Chi's words, Yu Qi broke into a cold sweat with fright, nodded and said, "Yes, this subordinate must keep an eye on it."
After saying this, Yan Chi was slightly relieved, as long as he knew that Ge Yang was still in Yingzhou, he would have no worries for the time being.
Now that the battle strategy has been determined, Yan Chi will naturally not be careless. He trained soldiers for two days in a row, and did not rest until the third time. On the third day, Yan Chi personally took three Thousands of horses headed north to Luofengpo.
At the same time, Zhao Jing and Cheng Wei also headed north with 30,000 Beifu troops.
This time the Jinzhou army sent 30,000 troops to lure the enemy, while Yan Chi and Zhao Shuhua each sent 30,000 troops to attack the flanks. If all went well, they could wipe out all the chasing soldiers and barbarians.
At noon, before the Jinzhou army arrived at the main camp of the Rongman, a tiger general named Li Changyuan among the Jinzhou army called out in front of the formation!
This Li Changyuan is from Zhou, but by chance he took in a Rong man, so he knew a few words from the Rong people. So they sent troops to fight, and in this way, the trick of luring the enemy was completed.
After the bloodbath of Cangzhou, the morale of the Rongman army was high, and they felt that they were invincible in the world. However, when they arrived in Wuzhou, the fat they got flew away, and more than 20,000 people were lost. Wuzhou failed to return to Fengzhou, but they did not Thinking that the Shuoxi Army and the Jinzhou Army joined hands, and lost tens of thousands of horses one after another, and now they have been holding back their anger and waiting to send it out. When they learned that the Jinzhou Army had only arrived with 30,000 people, the commander waved his hand So he sent 50,000 horses out of the camp to pursue them!
Li Changyuan first commanded the battle with the Rongman. Seeing that the Rongman was gaining momentum, he immediately ordered to retreat. When the Rongman saw this, he naturally wanted to catch up with him to avenge his shame. After chasing him from Luofengpo to a place called Shiziling , I met the Shuoxi army ambushing on the ridge. The Shuoxi army is very good at fighting in the mountains, but the Rong people who fought in a moment retreated towards the east. At this moment, the Beifu army ambushed in the east forest came out. , and the Jinzhou army in front also turned around and fought back. At this moment, there were less than 40,000 troops, and they were instantly surrounded by 90,000 horses. This battle was fought from noon to dark. Tens of thousands of horses, although more than a thousand people fled, the three armies never chased after them. After clearing the battlefield, they quickly retreated to their respective camps.
In this battle, the Jinzhou army took the lead to lure the enemy, and suffered the most casualties. However, they were the main force, and their casualties were much better than fighting alone. The casualties were the fewest, and the Beifu army was also an elite trained by Zhao You, so there were not very heavy casualties. After the first battle, the three armies cooperated tacitly and won another big victory. They all showed joy.
After winning this battle, Yue Qiong did not dare to be careless. The soldiers and barbarians are all brave tribes. After losing another battle this time, he was afraid that they would counterattack immediately. Chi and Zhao Shuhua rushed to the second meeting.
During the first alliance meeting, Yan Qi seemed dismissive and did not participate. This second time, he seemed to have tasted the sweetness of the joint efforts of the three armies, and even asked to go with him. Enthusiasm, Yue Qiong is afraid that he still has doubts, but this time, Yue Qiong no longer has doubts, so naturally he is sure.
On the day of the second alliance, Qin Wan never followed Yan Chi, and when he arrived at the place of the alliance, he saw Yan Qi praised, "Yan Chi, you really deserve your reputation. Although the Jinzhou Army took the lead this time, your Shuoxi Army The second wave was the most beautiful. I have heard that you took the head of the barbarian leader with one arrow. They were in a state of chaos, so we broke up in one fell swoop. Yan Chi, fighting is nothing but experience. In addition, it also depends on talent, on this point, brother really envies you."
Yan Qi's enthusiasm, Yan Chi can only understand that the Shuoxi Army solved the Jinzhou Army's dilemma, so that he would not have to suffer defeat when joining the army.
Yan Chi responded casually, and the focus was on the next battle strategy. He didn't come here to help anyone, but to annihilate the barbarians. He was also very satisfied with the battle this time. , naturally has the same effect, but he also has his own selfishness, the same casualties, shared by the three armies, is better than his Shuoxi army alone.
After winning the big victory, Zhao Shuhua felt at ease, and Zhao You's condition improved a lot because of this victory.
He felt guilty because of the fall of Cangzhou, and now that the Beifu army killed one more barbarian, the guilt in his heart would be reduced.
When the mood is good, natural diseases can be cured faster.
In the big tent of the alliance, Yue Qiong said, "This time we lured the enemy, it was a strategy used by the Shuoxi army in Wuzhou. There was one thing and two, but we didn't repeat it. Moreover, Rongman suffered several losses in a row. I'm afraid We are going to take the initiative to attack. In these two days, there may be a fierce attack. The target is naturally the Jinzhou army, but... Weixian County, you also know that there is no solid outer city wall. If the barbarians come in, it will be us instead To suffer."
Yan Chi's face was careless, but Zhao Shuhua, Cheng Wei and the others frowned. Cheng Wei said, "Master, Wei County must not be able to attack the city. What do you mean, we want to fight the Rongman in the north of Wei County?"
Yue Qiong nodded, and Cheng Wei said, "The north of Kewei County is all plains. We can't lay an ambush. If we fight the Rong people head-on, we will suffer a lot."
Regardless of whether it was a knife fight or a hand-to-hand fight, the Rong people were so fierce that they could fight two against each other. When fighting on the plains, the Zhou people suffered first in terms of physique.
Yue Qiong also said, "I've thought of this too, but if you want to set up an ambush in Shiziling, it will be very difficult for the Rong Man to fall for it."
From Wei County to Luofengpo, only the mountains and valleys around Shiziling are good places to lay an ambush, but the last battle was in Shiziling, and now that the old trick is being used again, how can Rongman be easily fooled
After saying this, the scene became stalemate, no one spoke for a while, and the low-ranking generals were even more silent.
Suddenly, Yan Chi smiled, "Although Wei County has no outer city walls, the inside of the city is very complicated. Since we can't guard and fight, why don't we invite you into the urn?"
