The general who transported the food nodded. Now that we are all here, there is no chance to regret.
Later, Bi Zaiyu once again summoned him and several generals under Zhong Yan's command, and then ordered again, "I will repeat your respective tasks."
"I've already talked about the internal conditions of this pass before, so we don't need to say more."
"The defenders in the pass will normally be divided into three parts.
Part of them are patrolling soldiers and horses. After entering, there are about one or two hundred soldiers guarding the entrance, and about a thousand people guarding the walls on the left and right sides.
In addition, there is the main camp about a mile away from the front, where the remaining nearly three thousand soldiers and horses are stationed."
"About a mile after passing through the main camp, there is the exit in the other direction of the pass, but there are only a few hundred soldiers and horses guarding this side."
"According to our plan, after entering, we will directly pass through the entire pass. Our entire grain transport team will also spread for about three miles. In other words, the last team to enter the pass will arrive at the opposite exit."
"Our front-line team is composed of Ku Laosi, Xue Tuo's 1,000 people, and 5,000 civilians. You go directly out of the customs and turn to Guyang Pass to deliver food and grass!"
"Our actions here cannot be hidden from Guyang Pass for long, so the most important task for you to leave the pass first is to intercept the defeated soldiers fleeing in that direction, and make sure not to let anyone leave.
Until General Zhong Yan arrives with the follow-up troops, then you will go directly to Guyang Pass, and also pretend to pass the pass in the name of delivering food and lure the follow-up troops to enter."
"You only have one chance. Once you fail, Guyang Pass will be alerted, and we will not be able to capture Guyang Pass in a short time."
"If Guyang Pass cannot be captured, not only the soldiers and horses of the Black Mountain Weifu Army Division can enter the pass at any time, but the soldiers and horses in front of them also have a final retreat."
"General, don't worry!"
Yan Laosi and Xue Tuo responded.
"The following troops are Kou Yang's three hundred men. Your task is to capture and hold the exit.
The party members do not have many troops at the exit, so this is not difficult for you."
"After that, I will personally lead a thousand people to block the entrance of the opponent's camp! And completely block the soldiers and horses in their camp."
"At the end of the team are Qu Hongda, Yu Wenbin, Zhang Jitong and you guys."
"You only have seven hundred soldiers and horses. Qu Hongda and Yu Wenbin will help Zhang Jitong control the portal first. When the soldiers and horses on their wall react, Zhang Jitong will guard the portal and respond to General Zhong Yan. Qu Hongda and you two will each lead three
Hundreds of soldiers and horses blocked other patrolling soldiers and horses directly on the city wall."
"Everyone takes Zhang Jitong's ringing arrow as a signal. As soon as all of you have entered the pass and are ready, you will fire the ringing arrow immediately.
After the other troops and horses heard the sound of arrows, they all took action at the same time."
"General Zhong Yan is about ten miles behind us. We have to hold on for at least a quarter to two quarters of an hour! Okay, let's get ready!"
"Come to General Liba, although this general's scheme against you is not bright, it is still your master! It seems that this general has accepted your kindness.
This is my token. You bring some of your people directly behind the team. It would be best if you win this battle. Of course, I will fulfill my previous promise."
"But if you lose, you can escape directly, and then everyone will settle down with their destiny!"
There are hundreds of soldiers and horses here to transport food, but Bi Zaiyu dare not use them. If any one of them shows his weakness or turns back, it will be even more troublesome.
It's better to give Liba a hope, so that even if he doesn't help, he will never hold him back.
Xiang Liba looked at Bi Zaiyu with a complicated expression, "You Song people are indeed different! The Central Plains has outstanding people. The Tang Dynasty was so powerful back then, and my ancestors were also generals of the Tang Dynasty.
Perhaps, after all the hardships you Song people have gone through, you will eventually restore the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty!"
Bi Zaiyu didn't say much, he just raised his hands and said, "Go to General Liba, take care!"
The mighty team kept moving forward. When they reached the pass, Xiang Liba shouted towards the pass, "I am going to Liba and leading the grain transport team into the pass. I also ask the brothers guarding the pass to let them go."
After a while, the pass opened, and a small group of soldiers and horses rushed out of the pass.
"It turns out that General Xiang Liba has arrived, and I thought you should also come in the next two days."
The leader said.
The man waved his hand towards the back, and the gate opened wide. Xiang Liba chatted with the man on the side, and let his transportation team slowly enter the gate.
"Where did the Song and Jin prisoners come from in your team?"
The man looked at the grain transport team and asked curiously.
Xiang Liba smiled and said, "They came from the south. As you know, last time I went back, most of the strong men I captured died, so Shangguan selected some strong ones for me from the prisoners from the south.
Mix in my team.
You also know that this road goes south through the desert, and thousands of people will not die on this journey?"
"That's true!"
The man said sympathetically that even though they were a team transporting food from the rear, the mortality rate was still not low.
"I would say it is more successful with Commander Zhang Hua in the south. Before, I heard that nearly two areas have been captured!"
"What kind of person is Commander-in-Chief Zhang Hua?"
Xiang Liba said with admiration, "Although he is not old, in my opinion, among the generals in our court, few of them can compare to General Zhang Hua."
Although the war between Fengxiang Mansion and Lintao Mansion has ended, Zhang Hua has obviously blocked the news.
This is not difficult for him. He took away all his trusted soldiers and horses. After leaving the Jin Kingdom from Jingyuguan, he stopped temporarily. Whether it was the messengers or the food and grass teams who came later,
They were all temporarily detained by his troops! But he quietly returned to Xiping Mansion, plotting the next matter with Ren Dejing and others.
So don't say that people like Xiang Liba who are thousands of miles away don't understand the situation in the south. Even the Daxia court in Xingqing Mansion doesn't know.
Apart from Zhang Hua's close confidants, only a few people such as Ren Dejing and Li Renyou really knew the inside story.
"Let's go, let's enter the customs too!"
This man said to Qi Liba.
Xiang Liba said, "You go in first. After all, many of these are newcomers. It feels more secure for me to keep an eye on them personally. I will go talk to you when all the subsequent food and grass are in."
"Haha, no wonder they say you are cautious when going to Liba. It is indeed true.
Well, I'll go to the front to make arrangements first, so that we don't have to clash with each other."
After half an hour, all the grain transport teams finally entered the pass!
Xiang Liba led some people to follow Qu Hongda, Yu Wenbin and others also entered the pass...
