Chapter 957 Preemptive Strike
Wen Boyan has rich experience in leading troops and understands the changes in the Tang Army.
In the battle of Wuding River, nearly 200,000 Turkic elites died in the icy river water, and countless grains and ordnance fell into the hands of the Tang army.
He didn't dare to despise Tang Jun anymore and despise Yang Yue.
The stakes are high and the impact is far-reaching, and we must fight steadily and steadily, step by step.
When he hesitated, Wen Boyan looked at Yan Xingjun and said in a loud voice: "General Yan, Yang Yue appointed Luo Shishang as the general manager of the Hebei Provincial March, controlling Youzhou, Jizhou, and Yingzhou. Duanmu Ye was appointed as the general manager of the Liaodong march, and garrisoned Dandong, Lerao, Pinglu, Silla, Bohai, Lin Kaiyue, and Yuan Yangge led the army to garrison Shencheng.
If the army plunders the wealth of the provinces in Hedong, after the money and grain, it still continues to go deeper, trying to attack the city of Chang'an, the Tang army of Qinwang everywhere will come from all directions, whether it can seize Chang'an is not guaranteed, but it is not impossible to guarantee the elite cavalry of the tribe."
He once deduced Yang Yue's deployment in detail in the northern border fortress, and appointed four marching commanders to sit in the north of the Tang Dynasty.
When one side is in trouble, all sides support.
At present, except for Zhang Xuanheng leading the army to the west, the defense of the northern Xinjiang of the Tang Dynasty is interlocking with each other.
Even though Zhang Xuanheng led the army to fight on the Western Front, the gap in Fengzhou, Zhang Shaoming, Luo Shishang, Lin Kaiyue, Yuan Yangge, and Guo Xiaoqi in Hexi, Li Yucheng could still easily block it.
This is more like a trap for hunting than a shortcut for Turkic horsemen to break into the Tang Dynasty.
It's a pity that Yan Xingjun always has a cut in his heart that can't be crossed.
In that year, he almost died in the chaos in Fengzhou, the battle of Wudinghe, hundreds of thousands of Turkic athletes were killed in battle, such a blood feud, do not report at this time, wait for when.
How can the dignity of the Turks be trampled on at will?
Without the slightest hesitation, he said loudly: "King Xian, King Guli, do you want to lead the army deep in the future, and the troops will come to Chang'an City, I will talk about it in the future, today, everyone is leading to come, you should take advantage of Zhang Shaoming's defenselessness, the reinforcements from Chang'an have not arrived, and the lightning should be quick to seize Fengzhou, Shengzhou, and the first line in the clouds, and take the lead in looting the wealth in the city of Guannei Road and Hedong Road."
Looting Datang's wealth?
At this point, King Zuo Xian, King Zuo Gu Li and Yan Xingjun have the same idea.
The two princes nodded slightly, and King Zuo Xian ordered: "General Yan, you lead an army of 100,000 elites to Yunzhong, and the city will be surrendered in the east, and this king and King Zuogu Li will lead the army to loot Fengzhou, Shengzhou, the west will be surrendered, and the city will be surrendered in the middle, everyone will fight quickly."
King Zuo Xian deliberately sent Yan Xingjun to Hedong Road, so that he could prevent Yan Xingjun from leading his army south after looting the wealth of the Tang Dynasty.
Second, in the east of Hedong Road, there are not only Khitan defenders, but also Luo Shishang, Duanmu Ye, Lin Kaiyue, Yuan Yangge and other Tang Dynasty warriors, which are extremely dangerous.
Once they looted the wealth of Guannei Province and Hedong Province, Luo Shishang and other generals would definitely lead their troops to help.
Since Yan Xingjun was holding back his anger, he could fight with Luo Shishang and several Tang Dynasty generals in Duanmu Ye.
"In the clouds, the city is surrendered to the east?"
Hearing this, Yan Xingjun looked at King Zuo Xian with stunned eyes, not believing that he had heard.
Ordered him to lead an army of 100,000 elite soldiers to Yunzhong, didn't King Zuo Xian know the location of Yunzhong County?
"King Xian..."
"What, General Yan, don't you want to, Yunzhong County is a relatively wealthy area in the north of Naihe East Road, with a lot of money, grain, and ordnance in storage, does General Yan still have any ideas?"
When Yan Xingjun was about to argue, King Zuo Xian took the initiative and asked unhappily.
For a moment, Yan Xingjun held back his anger and clenched his fists and said, "I don't have any ideas!"
He raised his horsewhip and shouted: "E Lei, you personally lead the vanguard and go to attack Yunzhong, Huo Dong, you lead your troops to capture the Dongshou Surrender City, and you will be stationed in Yunzhong within two days."
The iron riders came on a long journey, and they didn't carry much food or grass.
It all depends on this battle to plunder from the city of the Tang Dynasty, if the city cannot be broken for a long time, it will definitely affect the morale of the army.
What's more, there are too many dangers in attacking Yunzhong County, and Luo Shishang is always leading a large army to come, and he must fight quickly!
E Lei, Huo Dong hesitated slightly, hugged his fists and said: "The general can rest assured, the general will definitely live up to the general's high expectations at the end of this battle."
"Yes!" E Lei and Huo Dong both clenched their fists.
Riding his horse and turning around, he shouted to the soldiers under his tent: "Brothers, all go east, sack Yunzhong County, and receive the wealth and grain of the city in the east."
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
......
In the official road from Fengzhou to Datang, a fast horse galloped south.
From time to time, the messenger on horseback swung his whip and whipped it on the horse's buttocks, and rushed forward.
Last night, the Turks suddenly led a surprise attack on Fengzhou, the first line of Shengzhou, Guannei Road, and Hedong Road.
Zhang Shaoming personally dispatched the defenders everywhere to defend the city and resist the Turkic cavalry outside the city.
In addition, dozens of messengers were sent to Youzhou, Hexi Road and Chang'an, reporting the front-line military situation to the court, and Luo Shishang and Guo Xiaoqi for help.
At dusk, the messenger rode into the city and shouted: "Urgent, urgent, the Turkic general Yan Xingjun led his troops south and raided the city of Fengzhou, Shengzhou."
All the way through, pedestrians avoid.
Knowing that there was wolf smoke in the north again, the people turned their heads and ears, and they were angry that the Turks led their troops south!
The messenger rode his horse and hurriedly arrived at the military department's office, reported the military situation on the front line to Wolongsheng, and asked the other party to report to the emperor as soon as possible and send reinforcements to help.
Knowing the military situation in the northern border area, Wo Longsheng secretly scolded angrily: "This group of Ah Smack Pi, they are so impatient!"
Since the court learned of the internal situation of the Turks, the emperor has mobilized the southern Daoming, Ye Qinghu led the army to Fengzhou, and Shengzhou was deployed on the front line.
The army has just set off from the two places, and I am afraid that it has not yet arrived in Fengzhou and Shengzhou, and the Turkic iron cavalry has appeared in the north of the Tang Dynasty.
As a result, Guannei Road, north of Hedong Road, was only blocked by 50,000 elites led by Zhang Shaoming.
If the number of Turks is small, it is fine, but if the Turkic heavy army goes south, the two provinces of Guannei and Hedong will be very threatening.
Wo Longsheng stared at the messenger and asked, "At present, how many Turks are there in the north?"
When the messenger was about to report, Wolong said in a hurry: "Forget it, you and this official will go to the palace immediately and personally tell the emperor about the front-line battle."
In this battle, Wo Longsheng did not support it, but he did not expect that Yi Ran was really as the emperor expected, and he was impatient to send a large army south, wanting to loot the wealth of the Tang Dynasty.
In the past, there was no suitable excuse for the Tang army to conquer the Turks, and today the Turkic iron cavalry first invaded the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty will have enough reasons to mobilize elite divisions from all over the country to inflict heavy losses on the Turkic Iron Cavalry.
Even completely annihilating the other party, the Tang army broke into the steppe, uprooted the Turks, and eradicated the Turkic threat to the Tang Dynasty.
After the coachman prepared the carriage, Wo Longsheng took the messenger and rode in the carriage and hurried to the palace.
He must discuss this matter with Yang Yue as soon as possible and deploy as soon as possible, so as to relieve the pressure in the north.
