The Turks didn't know that Li Chao, the marshal of the Northern Expedition of the Tang Dynasty and the chief general of the middle route, did not go to Shuofang Lingzhou to replace Changsun Wuji, but directly took 10,000 elite horsemen to Loufu Pass in Hedong. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He didn't know that Li Xiuning, the eldest princess of Pingyang, had already taken over as the governor of Lanzhou, and also brought 10,000 soldiers and horses, plus the subordinates who were originally stationed here and Li Jing's withdrawal, inside and outside the city, the Tang army, the Turkic cavalry, and the local Hedong soldiers and horses, adding up to 50,000.

50,000 soldiers and horses were stationed in a fortified fortress after two years, and there were fierce generals like Li Chao, Wei Chigong, and Qin Qiong, if the Turks knew, they would never come.

"If we let the Turks in the north entrance, and after they pass, we block the north entrance, then the more than 20 miles of the Hui River valley will become a huge cage, and we can come to close the door and beat the dogs."

A decisive battle with the Turkic cavalry in the field is the best way to attack the enemy in a short time, and no matter how inexperienced a general is, he will not do such a stupid thing. But if it turns out that the Turks are trapped in this valley, then the Turks will be useless no matter how many soldiers they have.

Because this valley is surrounded by high mountains on both sides, and the width is not more than a mile, and in many places, only ten horses can be accommodated. In this kind of terrain, if there is no encounter, but an ambush, then the advantage of the Turkic cavalry is completely lost, on the contrary, relying on the terrain, the Tang army can have the upper hand even if the cavalry is less than the infantry.

One of the Turkic generals wondered, "Turki is also a battle-hardened man, and he will not easily lead a large army to this valley." Everyone knows that in the river valley, the more cavalry there is, the more it cannot be used. ”

Li Chao smiled.

Under normal circumstances, Tuli would certainly not rush in with 100,000 cavalry. However, Tuli doesn't come, so you can find a way to let him come.

Qin Qiong and Niu Jinda, Luo Shixin, Shan Xiongxin, and Li Junxian, the original Wagang brothers, were chatting on the side, what Li Chao's confidence was, they knew very well. Li Chao's plan was not told to Jieli's old subordinates, but he did not hide it from them.

The plan was a bit risky, but they admit that it was feasible.

After inspecting the city, Li Chao was very satisfied with the city defense.

Li Xiuning, the governor of Lanzhou and the head of the marching army of Loufu, still has a very good set of skills in leading troops.

"Your three thousand women's army, don't let you shave your eyebrows. I think this building is annoying, also known as Phoenix, but with your women's army, it is better to call this building annoying pass in the future. ”

Datang already has a Niangzi Pass, which is a pass in the Jingcheng passage from Taiyuan to Hebei, because Li Xiuning led the Niangzi Army there in the early years, so it is called Niangzi Pass.

"Then you have to call the North Lady to close." Li Xiuning said with a smile.

Laughing, he entered the General's Mansion in the inner city.

In the room, there are Li Chao's trusted generals, Wei Chigong, Niu Jinda, Luo Shixin, Li Xiuning, Su Lie and other generals. Turkic general, Li Chao didn't call in. For the time being, he didn't trust these Turkic generals very much, and even some of Li Jing's generals were not called by Li Chao.

The stakes are high, and care has to be tacted.

"You say, will Turi be fooled?"

Wei Chigong leaned on the chair, sat with a golden knife, and said disdainfully, "Tuli is just a fool, otherwise he wouldn't have been toyed with by our Datang to this point, fight to the death with Jieli, and make wedding clothes for others in vain." This is also a guy who sees profits, he is now made angry by Li Jing, and he chased after Ma Yi in a rage, but I know that even if Tuli has 100,000 soldiers and horses, he will not want to take the Ma Yi guarded by Li Jing. He can't capture Mayi, and he doesn't want to take Yanmen quickly, and Li Jing is in Daibei to clear the wall, and he can't drag Tongye to protect the south, so I bet that once he hears that Lou Fuguan has such an opportunity, he will definitely come. ”

"Oh, yes, how much do you want to bet that Tuli will come?" Shan Xiongxin and Wei Chigong didn't deal with each other very well, and they sang opposite each other on the side, when Shan Xiongxin protected Wang Shichong, and Yu Chigong followed Li Shimin, the two also fought. In terms of ability, Shan Xiongxin wants to send Wei Chi Gong a little bit, but Shan Xiongxin has not been very convinced.

"I'll bet a hundred gold coins!" Wei Chigong said very proudly. One hundred gold coins, worth eight hundred.

"One hundred gold, are you embarrassed to speak? If you want to bet, bet a little more, I bet a thousand gold coins, Tuli will definitely come, big black, do you dare to take it? ”

Wei Chigong's black face was red with anger, and he was about to shout to pick it up, and then he felt that something was wrong, he said that Tuli would come, why did Shan Xiongxin gamble, he was going to take it, wouldn't it be his own bet that Tuli would not come?

I almost fell for it, this single second child is so insidious.

"If Tuli really comes, we have to be able to lock him up, lock him up, and eat him. General Wei Chi, General Shan, I will give the two of you a task, each with 10,000 horses, out of the north entrance, and set up an ambush outside the mouth. When the Turks enter the army, you will block the north entrance. No matter what, you can't let Tuli escape again, can you do that? ”

Yu Chigong stood up suddenly.

"Dashuai, block the north entrance, this task can be handed over to me Wei Chigong alone, why call others again, anyway, I am enough."

Shan Xiongxin sneered and stood up.

"Don't flash your tongue when the wind is strong, and you have to hit the draft first to brag. If you want me to say, block the north exit, this task is better left to me, there are not many with you, and there are not many without you. ”

The two of them immediately stared at each other, like two bulls.

Li Chao smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, you don't have to fight, and my decision will not be changed, just the two of you." Don't have a war of words here, that's what do. The two of you are fierce generals of 10,000 enemies, the great generals of the court, or it is better to see the real chapter on the battlefield, go together, and then it will be up to the two of you who performs better on the battlefield. ”

As soon as the two heard this, they stopped arguing at the moment, and sat down separately, secretly competing, to compete on the battlefield to see who was more powerful.

"General Luo Shixin and General Niu Jinda, your two generals each led 5,000 men and ambushed them in the valley to the west. Li Junxian and General Wu Heimin, the two of you each led 5,000 men and ambushed in the valley to the east. ”

"I'm stationed in Phoenix City with the eldest princess and General Su Lie."

Now, everything is ready, and the east wind is owed.

I hope that Zhang Zhongjian and Ke Qing's master and apprentice will fool Tuli.

"Report!"

"Report to the marshal, the head of Kejiao came back to return to his life, just outside the mansion."

Li Chao was overjoyed when he heard this, Ke Qing came back, and it was time for this plan to be clear.

"Ben Shuai personally went to greet him."

Li Chao led the generals out of the general's mansion, and Ke Qing was standing there, dusty.

"How?" Li Chao asked impatiently.

"Something has been done!" Ke Qing replied with a smile.

"What about the Hou of Vietnam?"

"In order to win the trust of Tuli, the master took the initiative to stay in the Tuli camp. But please rest assured, my master will have his own way to get out when the time comes! ”

"Okay, you master and apprentice, you should take the first credit!" Li Chao said with a big laugh.
