"Come, please look at something." After returning to the Shatuo camp in Tiancheng Military City, Li Ke said to Guo Chongtao with a smile.

Li Siyuan and Li Sizhao in the camp led the way in front at this time, and Guo Chongtao entered the camp with Li Keyong and walked all the way inside. Along the way, he carefully observed, but saw that the camp of the Shatuo army was orderly and well-defended. The further you go, the more soldiers there are guarding, and almost all of them are black-clad and black-armored tooth soldiers. Although Guo Chongtao is also a member of the Raven Army now, he has just been transferred from Li Kexiu's account to Li Keyong's account, and he is not too familiar with the Shatuo Army.

However, seeing that this is heavily guarded, he also knows that he must be going to a secret place.

Sure enough, Li Keyong directly took Guo Chongtao to the Chinese army marshal's tent.

Since being transferred to Li Keyong's account, Guo Chongtao is the first time to come to Li Keyong's handsome account.

Li Ke nodded slightly, and Guo Chongtao followed with excitement. The tent is an important place for the whole army, and non-generals are not allowed to enter. He was valued by Li Keyong for his bravery, and he was awarded the rank of Captain of the Seventh Rank of Zhiguo, but he had not yet had the opportunity to enter such a military location. Rao is usually confident, but it is difficult to suppress the excitement in his heart at the moment, although he knows that this does not mean that he has the qualifications to participate in the high-level military meeting, but his heart is still full of excitement and excitement. For a while, Guo Chongtao's breathing became heavy.

Li Keyong felt Guo Chongtao's sudden heavy breathing behind him. I smiled to myself. A young general as arrogant as Guo Chongtao. But really came to this handsome account. It was still as excited as expected.

After entering the tent, Guo Chongtao's breathing became even more rapid, and he almost screamed.

In front of him was a huge sand table. At a glance, he could already see that the sand table was drawn in the east of the river and the north of the river.

Guo Chongtao walked quickly to the sand table, looking at the mountains, rivers and cities on the sand table with shock. This is a giant rice building that includes the entire Hedong and Hebei, Taihang Mountain, Yanshan Mountain, and Yinshan Mountain Range, and the entire sand table occupies a large tent that can accommodate nearly 30 people.

What shocked him the most was. On every city and pass in Hedong and Hebei, the identity of each army and the number of garrisons are marked with various small flags.

"This is drawn by Zheng Xianggong, the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, and draws on Li Jing's sand table tactics back then." Li Ke used a faint voice, but he couldn't hide his admiration for Li Jing and Zheng Congyan. This sand table was originally a commonly used thing in Li Jing's army, and later during the battle between the official army and Shatuo Daibei, Zheng Congyan, Yu Xuan and others also learned the art of this sand table. After the Hebei rebellion, Zheng Congyan exchanged the information he had before, plus the information obtained from the detailed investigation and control of the later station, and exchanged it. Pooled this big sand table.

Li Keyong, as the deputy envoy for the west of Hebei, also managed to get a pair from Zheng Congyan.

Guo Chongtao opened his mouth. I wanted to say something, but I was still immersed in shock and couldn't say anything. With such detailed information, it was easier to fight this battle.

"There are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the western camp, and the troops can be divided into three routes. All the way from here......" Guo Chongtao pointed to the front line of Datong and Fuzhou, "from Datong to attack Fuzhou, break the army and go straight to Youzhou." In addition, he went all the way out of Ulzhou, attacked Li Quanzhong in Dingzhou along the Flying Fox Road, recaptured the Yiwu army, and copied from the south of Youzhou. In addition, with all the way from Taiyuan out of the well, straight to Chengde, the four towns of Hebei rebels were cut off, and each was broken! Three-way attack, the traitor is too busy to take care of himself, and a battle can be decided. ”

"Three-way attack!" Rick smiled.

I praised Guo Chongtao a lot in my heart, the rebels have been in chaos for several months, and the imperial court has not launched a real offensive yet. The first is to mobilize troops and horses, the second is to raise food and wages, and the most important thing is that Zheng Congyan is preparing to attack Hebei on three ways as Guo Chongtao said.

According to Zheng Congyan and Yu Xuan's plan, Li Keyong, who had attacked Youzhou, will use the Shatuo army as the north road, attack Youzhou in the north of Ulzhou, attack the military capital pass, and go straight to Youzhou. Then Zheng Congyan led the Hedong Army, Yu Xuan led the Zhenwu Army, Tuoba Sigong Dangxiang Cavalry, and Hao Lianduo Tuyuhun Cavalry out of Jingcheng to attack the Chengde army, with the aim of cutting off Chengde and Wei Bo's army and preventing them from supporting Youzhou Town.

After the most lu, Xin Yan led the Datong army and the three cavalry of Sage, Anqing, and Qibi out of the Flying Fox Road, entered Li Quanzhong in Yizhou, defeated the weakest Li Quanzhong, and then attacked Youzhou with Li Ke in the north and south.

The core of the entire plan is Youzhou, as long as Youzhou and the Yiwu Army are broken first, the imperial court can come from the north, take advantage of the situation, and directly sweep away the German army and Wei Bo's army.

There were more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the west of the imperial court, but because of the topography, the imperial soldiers and horses in the east of the river fought against the rebels in Hebei across the Taihang Mountain, which was not suitable for large-scale decisive battles. It is precisely for this reason that Zheng Congyan made such a three-way offensive plan.

Li Keyong also studied it for a long time, and also thought that this was the best plan to attack the Hebei rebels at present.

Among the various arrangements, Li Keyong's Northern Route Army had the most difficult task, Youzhou Town set up four new states in the land of Fuzhou, and sent four generals to garrison according to the danger. If you want to hit Youzhou, you have to pull out the four states one by one, and then there is the most dangerous military capital in the northwest of Youzhou.

In the face of these dangerous passes, the cavalry of the Shatuo people did not have much advantage, and these terrains severely limited the use of cavalry. Only after breaking through the military capital pass, the endless Hebei Plain is the place where the cavalry is crisscrossed.

However, in the imagination of the imperial court and Zheng Congyan, although Youzhou is dangerous, there is no need to worry too much. Because there is still the northeast of Youzhou, there is also the imperial court, and Li Jing is unified on all four sides this time.

Li Jing occupies Ying, Ping, Ji, Tan Zhuzhou, and now occupies Shunzhou, and has directly controlled the Yanshan Mountain Range, approaching Youzhou for a hundred miles, and the north of Youzhou has no danger for Li Jing. With Li Jing here, Liu Yue will inevitably divide some troops and horses to defend Li Jing.

And if Li Jing can go one step further and attack Junduguan directly from behind, then the battle of attacking Youzhou will be even simpler.

However, Li Keyong is very jealous of Li Jing. He was slow to attack. In fact, he is also waiting to see Li Jing's attitude. If Li Jing captures Shunzhou, he will also attack Jundu Pass. Li Keyong instead had to consider whether he was going to fight Yanzhou and Li Jing.

Once a war begins, there will be many unexpected situations, and even if considerable preparations are made, sometimes the situation changes, and there are still not too many variables.

"The war starts, in fact, even if Li Jing does not move, there is no need to worry at all. Real swords and real guns, our Brother Daibei is the strongest. Li Jing. It's just that I like to take advantage of the opportunity to pick up cheap! Guo Chongtao looked at the layout on the sand table and said lightly, and the arrogant side of his heart was revealed.

More than 100,000 soldiers and horses were camped in the west, and they were indeed not afraid to deal with the four towns in Hebei.

Li Ke was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

Dare to say that Li Jing, who now supports the northeast, is famous all over the world and is respected as the first general in the world, and the king of Andong can only pick up cheap and can't fight tough battles, which does have great arrogance.

Guo Chongtao completely ignored his gaffe and continued his hubris.

"It doesn't matter if there is Li Jing in this battle or not. With 50,000 Daibei brothers in the hands of the commander, plus 20,000 cavalry reserves of Tatars and Kumoxi. Dealing with Liu Yue in Youzhou, he is not afraid at all. ”

Li Keyong chuckled, although he did not agree with Guo Chongtao's view that Li Jing could not fight a tough battle, and Liu Yue's Youzhou army was vulnerable. However, he still appreciates Guo Chongtao's momentum.

"When does Anshi think it's better for us to attack?" Li Siyuan on the side felt uncomfortable when he heard it, the Shatuo army was repeatedly defeated by Li Jing, if it was said that Li Jing would only pick up cheap and not fight a tough battle, then wouldn't his words say that their Shatuo army was even more unbearable?

"Immediately!"

"Immediately?"

"Exactly, the best time to attack is when the autumn is high and the horse is fat, and the bow and arrow are sharp, and it is the time when I am a thief and a thief. However, it is now the end of the year, and if it drags on any longer, the battle will be in the enemy's territory, and then the time, place, and people will all be in the enemy, and the wise will not take it. At this time, our army gathered and attacked, the thieves divided and defended, and the new soldiers gathered with great momentum. If it is delayed, the morale of the army will be reduced, and the rebels will have more time to prepare. Therefore, at this time, the troops were immediately dispatched, and our army could be full of energy, drive straight in, and win the battle in one battle. ”

Li Keyong praised in his heart, in fact, at this time, the deep winter is dry, the horse has no overnight grass, the cold winter is bitter cold, and the attack is even more unfavorable. In the spring, the situation is even worse. However, in the current situation, the logistical food and grass of the more than 100,000 troops is a big problem, and if it drags on all the time, not only will it be difficult to support the logistics, but also the morale will also be a problem. In addition, the longer the time drags on, the more prepared the rebels will be.

Therefore, it is more appropriate to fight early than to delay.

Li Keyong patted Guo Chongtao's shoulder and encouraged: "The man is famous and rich, but take it immediately, prepare well when the time comes, and don't miss the opportunity to make meritorious contributions!" ”

In Changping City, Li Jing was leisurely drinking tea in the temporary marshal's mansion, while Liu Rengong on one side was already a little restless. After entering Changping, he observed that the soldiers and horses in Changping City had no intention of leaving, and were even preparing to attack the capital of the army.

This discovery made it difficult for him to sleep.

I came to see Li Jing in a hurry today, and finally talked about the conditions of peace. Helplessly, as soon as Li Jing came up, he opened his mouth, and actually asked Lulongzhen to cede the military capital to the Northeast Army, as well as the four prefectures of Confucianism, Xin, and Wu, so that Li Jing would go and take it in person.

Liu Rengong's condition was that Li Jing withdraw from Changping and Shunzhou and return to the boundaries between the two sides last year.

The differences between the two sides are simply too great.

was at a stalemate, Fu Cun strode in, walked to Li Jing's side and said softly: "News from the Military Intelligence Bureau, just today, Li Keyong suddenly attacked Wuzhou, and has now broken through Huai'an City, and his troops have attacked Wuzhou City. ”

Hearing this news, Li Jing couldn't help frowning, it was not a good thing for Li Ke to kill him at this time. If Liu Yue is pressed again, I am afraid that under Liu Yue's two-sided defense, the four states outside the military capital may not be protected.

Let Li Keyong come to Youzhou, which is by no means a good thing for Li Jing.

Thinking of this, Li Jing began to take the initiative to retreat.

Although Liu Rengong didn't understand why Li Jing had such a big change after hearing his subordinates' words, he couldn't ask for it in his heart, so he hurriedly bargained at the moment.

In the end, Li Jing and Liu Rengong reached an agreement, and the four counties of Huairou, Liaoxi, Luxian, and Yongnu in Shunzhou occupied by Li Jing were controlled by Li Jing from then on, and Changping County was returned to Youzhou Town. But Li Jing did not return it unconditionally, and Youzhou Town would exchange it for Huichang County, south of Yongnu.

Originally, Li Jing wanted to extort Liu Yue with another sum of money, but looking at Liu Rengong's constipated appearance, he was also worried that it would change later, so he still forgot about it.

On the same day, Li Jing began to order the withdrawal of troops from Changping.

However, when leaving, Li Jing was not polite, and gave an order to take away more than 10,000 households and nearly 60,000 people in Changping City and the territory.

After Liu Rengong heard this, although he was very angry, he was helpless in the face of Li Jing's elite cavalry. What's more, when Li Jing attacked Wuzhou with Li Keyong and had already captured Huai'an City, Liu Rengong couldn't take care of these tens of thousands of people.

Liu Rengong hurriedly returned to Youzhou City with an agreement with Li Jing, and Li Jing spent five days before and after removing all the population of Changping County and sending troops into Huichang County. By this time, Li Keyong's Feng Guo Chongtao had already relied on his 3,000 elite cavalry to go down to Huai'an first, and then to Wuzhou City, and within seven or eight days, Wuzhou had already been captured and the entire Wuzhou Basin was occupied.

The front of the army is directed at New South Wales.

Liu Yue in Youzhou City saw that Li Jing had taken away the people in Changping City and occupied Huichang County, so he retreated back as promised.

At that moment, Liu Rengong's Dingba Capital and most of the Eighth Army behind the Mountain were immediately dispatched to Xinzhou for reinforcements.

Li Jing conscientiously abided by the agreement at this time, and accepted it when he saw it. did not take advantage of the fire to rob and attack Youzhou, but asked Liu Yue to draw troops and horses to go to Xinzhou to fight against Li Keyong. He took the 100,000 people who moved out from Changping and Huichang, and returned to Liaodong City from the Western Liaoning Corridor all the way.

In this attack, only 10,000 elite cavalry were dispatched, and the five counties of Liaoxi, Huairou, Luxian, Yongnu, and Huichang were taken, and a Shunzhou city was added. Moreover, the soldiers and horses stationed in Pingzhou were also dispatched to sweep the upper reaches of the Luan River, and brought this territory that was originally controlled by the Xi people into control and newly set it up as Jingzhou.

Shunzhou and Jingzhou were added, with a population of about 300,000, and Li Jing moved 100,000 of them back to Liaodong, and planned to move 200,000 Goguryeo people from Liaodong to the newly established Shun and Jing Prefectures, and then move 100,000 people to Liaodong. Through population replacement, the demographic structure of the two places will be changed and control will be enhanced.

Liu Yue did not disappoint Li Jing either, and after Li Jing returned to Liaodong, Liu Yue immediately went all out to reinforce Xinzhou.

Shatuo Army and Youzhou soldiers fought in Xinzhou City for more than ten days, more than 10,000 people were killed on both sides, and Xinzhou City was broken several times, but the Youzhou soldiers were still difficult to hold under the leadership of Liu Rengong.

Li Jing, who had just arrived in Liaodong City, heard the news and nodded with a smile. The more intense the fight between Li Keyong and Liu Yue, the happier he became! (To be continued......)
