After eating and drinking, Tan Shihuai knelt down on the snow, holding a wooden branch, and started paddling on the snow. The three of them frowned and looked at the snow. Gradually, many county towns and fortresses appeared on the snow.
, passage, it is obvious that this is Tan Shihuai drawing the border map. The expressions of the three of them gradually became solemn. If he had not arrived in person, he would not have been able to draw such a detailed map.
This also shows the great achievements of this Xianbei king, of course, for them.
Tan Shihuai drew a rough outline of the frontier fortress, pointed to a place, and asked with a smile: "Qili Qiao, if I let Yi Zhuo join forces with you, can you capture this place and keep Zhang for me?"
Huan?" The two people quickly looked around and saw that this was the junction of Bingzhou and Liangzhou, and between Beidi County and Shangjun. This place was very close to Anding County, and Anding County was already close to the Han Dynasty.
An important county in Chang'an!
The two looked at the map in shock, and asked hesitantly: "But... attack Anping and capture Chang'an?" Tan Shihuai shook his head with some disdain and said: "The northwest is okay, if
As for marching to stabilize Chang'an, we don't know the terrain. If we are surrounded by Han troops from both sides, won't we all be buried there?"
"I want you to attack this place, not to capture it, but to keep Zhang Huan!"
"If our army attacks, Zhang Huan will definitely retreat to Beidi County and wait for the army's support. By then, the entire West City gate will be closed. If we are not good at fighting against the siege, what can we do? However, if you can attack
Zhang Huan will certainly not be able to sit still if he pretends to attack Anding, Chang'an, or even Hanoi here. Hahaha, when the time comes, he will send troops to fight you..."
Yili Qinhao suddenly understood, nodded and said: "Then, our army will press forward and surround Zhang Huan here, leaving him with no way to escape?"
Yi Zhuo laughed loudly and said, "When the time comes, Zhang Huan will not be here, and the entire Western Region will be like a lamb, ready for us to plunder!"
Tan Shihuai said coldly: "Xidi, you can get it at any time, but Zhang Huan has this chance to kill him. If anyone dares to lose the war because of selfishness, I will chop off his head!"
The three of them trembled, and they asked hesitantly, "If Zhang Huan sees our purpose and leads his troops to retreat and settle down, waiting for reinforcements, what should we do?"
Tan Shihuai shook his head and said: "Zhang Huan is the best warrior in the Han Dynasty. If he retreats to peace, won't he leave Xidi land in our hands? Even if he finds out, he will fight with you.
Those who are entangled, I don’t ask you to defeat this person, as long as you can keep him in the North, it will be your credit!"
Yi Zhuo seemed a little dissatisfied with Tan Shihuai's contempt for them. He frowned and said: "If I join forces with Yili Qinchu, we will have 20,000 cavalry!" Tan Shihuai nodded and said: "
Yes, 20,000 cavalry should be able to retain Zhang Huan without retreating before I arrive!"
Yi Zhuo still wanted to speak, but was held back by Yi Li's chin. He shook his head and stopped talking. Tan Shihuai said with a smile: "Since you want to kill him, you must use all your strength. You go first."
I will personally join forces with Sifu, and with 50,000 knights, I will keep Zhang Huan in the north forever!" Everyone promised, and Yi Zhuo and Yili Qinqiao set off immediately to summon the elite of the tribe.
After walking out of the royal court, Yi Zhuo said with some dissatisfaction: "It seems that our king is still a little old. Are there ten thousand cavalry under Zhang Huan's tent?" , said: "There are only more than four thousand horses."
"Hahaha, four thousand?? If that old man refuses to come out, we will plunder everywhere and bring the Han people to their city to kill them. Believe me, he will definitely come out. I always use this move in Youzhou If it can succeed, do you think those Han people are fools? For a few untouchables, they can open the city gate and a few hundred people come to attack tens of thousands of us, hahaha~~"
Yi Zhuo laughed loudly, looked at his friend with a complex look on his face, and said: "My brother, that's not a fool. If my leader could be like this, I wouldn't have been in exile for decades. ...." After he finished speaking, he turned around and left. Yi Zhuo looked at his back in astonishment and did not speak. He just went back and started to gather the tribesmen.
When Yi Zhuo gathered his elite troops, more than ten days had passed. He led his elite troops towards the west and joined forces with Yili Jiaochao in Boran City. For the battle, the soldiers were transferred here early. He didn't even need to mobilize before the battle. When the two troops were mixed together, there were nearly 30,000 elite soldiers.
There are only about 10,000 cavalrymen in Yili Qiong. These cavalry were beaten violently by Zhang Huan before and their morale is not high. However, Yi Zhuo actually brought more than 20,000 elites. Yi Zhuo was in Yili. Qi Li laughed loudly in front of him, pointing at his soldiers and showing off. Qili Qiu just looked at them for a moment, and then asked with some surprise: "Why did you bring the slaves here?"
He clearly saw a lot of slaves in chains among the many soldiers. Yi Zhuo said: "I told them that as long as they can win, they will get rid of their status as slaves. Haha, think about it, these are most of them." They are all Han Wuhuan slaves. Even if they cannot achieve military exploits, they can definitely give Zhang Huan a headache!"
Qili Qinhao thought for a moment and nodded.
They joined forces and practiced marching, volleying and other tactics as a whole. After practicing for a few days, they received an order from Tan Shihuai, asking them to spare Shuofang County with great fanfare and attack Beidi County. He also warned them to be careful. Zhang Huan ambushed them halfway, so he must be fully prepared.
After hearing the order, Yi Zhuo laughed loudly and said: "If Zhang Huan can attack us halfway, wouldn't he directly achieve his goal? My brother, let us march together!" Yili Qinhao nodded, and suddenly, Tens of thousands of troops were mobilized, kicking up thousands of miles of dust along the way, causing the surrounding Shuofang County scouts to turn pale with fright. They quickly reported that the entire Bingzhou County had locked its gates and prepared a defensive posture.
When the report arrived at the temple, the little fat man was also shocked and quickly summoned all the officials.
The court meeting started in a hurry, and all the officials even forgot to ask Wang Jiexin to cook, so they went straight into the main body. As for the military, the one who had the most say was naturally Duan Jiong, who had just returned. Seeing all the officials looking at him, Duan Jiao stood up slowly and said: "Xianbei has always attacked cautiously, taking advantage of others' unpreparedness. But now they are marching with such a big fanfare, I'm afraid they have a huge plot!"
He looked at Lu Zhi and others and said: "They should be planning to plot the entire Western Region. The leader is Yili Qiao. I recognize this person. This person has been causing trouble in the Western Regions for a long time, but due to the threat of the main force of the Han Dynasty, he has been unable to do so."
They have been coveting the march for a long time, and at this moment, they may be deliberately pretending to attack the Northern Territory. They want to divert Zhang Jun to leave Wuwei, cut off the connection between the Han Dynasty and the Western Territory, and plot the entire Western Region."
Hearing this, the officials suddenly felt relieved. They were previously worried that the Xianbei people would attack Anding or Chang'an. If their goal was the Western Regions, what if they gave it to them? Give up the Western Regions, or even give up Liangzhou.
, has been popular among officials for a long time!
"Your Majesty, the Western Region is a barren and barbarous land. It can be abandoned without any hesitation. Why worry??" An official slowly stood up and said with some emotion. Everyone nodded. Suddenly, a scroll of memorials suddenly flew from the top.
Go out and hit him hard in the face!!
"A dog that eats feces! It's a beast! Do you want to die??"
