Chapter 807： Target Liaoxi

In Ji County, Youzhou, a large number of food, grass, soldiers and horses were transported here.

It is not just the Youzhou Army. The generals of the Imperial Guard from Chutian have arrived one after another. The generals of the Youzhou Army, such as Cao Cao, Xu Rong, Xia Houyuan, have probably realized what will happen.

The Central Plains Army originally attacked and Youzhou Army defended, but now it’s replaced, the Central Plains Army defends, and Youzhou Army is responsible for attacking the Liaoxi Corridor.

"Our goal is the Liaoxi Corridor."

Chutian summoned the generals of the Youzhou Army and the generals of the Imperial Guard, including Xun You, Guo Jia, Sun Bin and other advisers.

In addition to this, there is also Geng Yan who has newly joined the Youzhou Army.

Chutian pointed his finger at the Liaoxi Corridor on the map.

The last time he captured Heluo, he completely suppressed Lao Qin's sphere of influence to the Guanzhong area, but this time, Chutian's goal was to seize the Liaoxi Corridor, suppress Mingguan's sphere of influence to Liaodong, step by step.

"The three tribes of the three Xianbei families and the three royal families of Wuhuan, these tribes will be the biggest obstacle to occupying the west of Liaoning. The last Youzhou battle, the three royal families of the three Xianbei and Wuhuan caused a lot of losses to me."

"Murong Xianbei's strength can even compete with Tiger and Leopard Cavalry."

"In addition to Murong Xianbei, Duan Xianbei and Yuwen Xianbei, there are also many generals. Each tribe is equivalent to one of our legions. The strength of the Wuhuan tribe is relatively poor, and the victory lies in its large number. Wuhuan is the largest tribe in western Liaoning."

Wei Qing explained the situation in western Liaoning to the arriving Chu Tian, ​​and at the same time reminded Geng Yan of the enemies he might encounter.

At present, there are 28 Yuntai generals, and there are two in Chutian, Feng Yi and Geng Yan. They are already the best among the 28 Yuntai generals.

"Try to arouse the contradictions of the three Xianbei tribes and make them fight inward."

Chutian knew that the three Xianbei tribes were at odds with each other, so he wanted to implement a divisive strategy to instigate the three tribes' internal fighting.

Guo Jia said: "The provocation of the three tribes has already been carried out. Yuwen Xianbei and Duan Xianbei were jealous of Murong Xianbei. After the tribes returned to Western Liaoning, small-scale conflicts broke out in order to fight for pastures, causing hundreds of casualties. If not Mingguan Trying to suppress a few tribes, may have begun internal fighting."

"It seems that Mingguan's control over the western region of Liaoning is stronger than expected."

Chutian was even more surprised that Xun You and Guo Jia had already provoke Murong, Yuwen, and Duan in secret.

There was constant friction between the three three Xianbei tribes, and cracks appeared in the Xianbei cavalry alliance.

"If you attack the Liaoxi Corridor, the Eastern Liaoning Army will come. The Eastern Liaoning Army is more brave and capable of fighting than the Western Liaoning Army. The King Ming personally leads the team. The Eastern Liaoning Army has about six or seven elite divisions, at the same level as the Lord's Guards."

Wei Qing reminded Chu Tian.

The Liaodong Army at Ming Pass is equivalent to the Imperial Guard of Chutian.

The last time the two Guards failed to break out in Youzhou, but it was meaningless. The Liaodong Army with Xu Da and Chang Yuchun was comparable to Chutian Guards.

"Occupy the Liaoxi Corridor, if the Liaodong Army can be severely damaged in this battle, then not only the Liaoxi Corridor, but also the entire Liaodong will be defeated. Therefore, the Liaodong Army is better to participate in the fight for the Liaoxi Corridor. Preparation for the battlefield."

Chutian had already prepared for a decisive battle with the Liaodong Army.

The Liaodong Army is the most powerful army outside the pass, even the Western Regions Protectorate may not be comparable to the Liaodong Army.

Mingguan itself is also a fierce general who dared to charge forward, so if you want to defeat Mingguan, you must use the most elite cavalry.

"On the west side of the Liaoning Corridor is Guzhu City, and to the east is Liucheng. Two fortresses block the entrances and exits of the Liaoxi Corridor. Therefore, it is necessary to capture Guzhu City and Liucheng to control the Liaoxi Corridor. The Ming king deployed in the two cities. A large number of soldiers and horses strengthened the city defense and built fortresses, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack."

Wei Qing continued to explain to everyone the difficulty of navigating the Liaoxi Corridor.

The biggest difficulty is that the Liaoxi Corridor is the sphere of influence of the Ming Pass, and the Youzhou Army is unfamiliar with the land and is passive. At the same time, the distance between Liaoxi and Liaodong is actually not short, which is equivalent to an expedition.

"No matter how difficult it is, we must take the Liaoxi Corridor and try to attack the Liaodong City to calm the last force outside the pass."

"Master, the initiative is in our hands, when should we start the offensive?"

Weiqing, Cao Cao, Zhou Yafu, Geng Yan and other generals did not look at Chu Tian. Since it was a battle to determine the ownership of the Han Empire, there must be time.

Last time in the Northern War, Chu Tian took the initiative to provoke the war, and this time is no exception.

The unification war of the Han Empire will break out sooner or later, and no one will accuse it of justice.

Chu Tian sternly said: "When the recruitment of 10,000 Youzhou Turks is completed, and the soldiers, horses, food and grass of each legion are in place, they will march into the Liaoxi Corridor. First take the Guzhu City and then the Liucheng, and try to push it to Liaodong City. If possible, then Capture Lone Bamboo City."

"Yes!"

Chutian heard everyone respond in unison. He was satisfied and thoughtful. He had a faintly uneasy premonition: "Bring me the information collected about the Xianbei tribe."

……

"The King Xia intends to attack Liaodong. It is estimated that the last time King Ming attacked Youzhou, he angered King Xia."

"To capture Liaodong, we must first take the west of Liaoning. The west of Liaoning is the foundation of our Murong Xianbei's life. It cannot be lost. Is it possible that we must defend the west of Liaoning for the King of Ming? If our Murong tribe really acts like this, not only will the King of Ming be in the arms, but our Murong tribe will also lost heavily."

"It's better to leave West Liaoning temporarily, avoid the main force of King Xia, and try to retake West Liaoning later."

At the meeting of the Murong Xianbei tribe, the generals of the Murong family talked about each other.

Youzhou mobilized troops, and the Sixth Department of Liaoxi immediately fell into a panic.

According to various signs, King Xia is likely to command the main cavalry to attack the west of Liaoning.

King Xia only captured Luoyang not long ago, and now he suddenly changed his military front and marched into western Liaoning, making the Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes who had little defenses been shocked.

The Xianbei Cavalry and Wuhuan Cavalry were planning their next entry, but this time before they were allowed to enter, the Youzhou Army and King Xia’s Guards, who had suffered a small loss not long ago, took the initiative to attack.

King Xia’s cavalry is quite terrifying, already above Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, and no one knows what strange abilities Chu Tian has gained from this epic battle.

Actually, Chu Tian really possessed a metaphysical characteristic.

"Everyone is quiet, brother, how should we act?"

Murong Ba stopped the noisy generals of the Murong Xianbei tribe. At this time, no matter how nervous it is, it will not help. He looks at a character he admires.

is also this person who has a military strategy that is not inferior to Guo Jia and Xun You. Therefore, when Murong Ba played against Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Army, he was basically not worried about being calculated by Xun You and Guo Jia.

The man said: "When the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, our Murong family should abandon the past, together with the Yuwen family and Duan family, and jointly resist the Xia army and reduce the loss of our Murong tribe. As for abandoning the western part of Liaoning, we cannot do it. Losing the western part of Liaoning is the only place in the eastern part of Liaoning. How will you contend with King Xia in the future? Only by teaming up with King Ming and making a desperate bet can you come back. UU Reading will then take advantage of the chaos to establish a kingdom belonging to Xianbei."

Murong Ba’s son Murong Lin said: “Not long ago, the Yuwen and Duan tribes fought with us for pasture in western Liaoning. At least a thousand people were killed and injured in each tribe. They have always been at odds with us. How can we easily abandon our previous suspicions and fight together? If one of the Yuwen tribe and Duan tribe treacherous, or escapes before the battle, our Murong tribe will be wiped out."

"Muronglin, if the people of the three tribes all have this idea, the tribes of Xianbei are not far from extinction. I have ordered the scouts to explore, compete for pastures and clashes, killing and wounding thousands of people, what seems to be the herdsmen of the three tribes. The argument is that Xia Jun’s counsellor secretly provokes the relationship between the three tribes and should not be fooled."

Murong Ba’s elder brother’s words fell, and the general Murong Xianbei present were all horrified and took a breath.

The adviser of the Xia Army has reached out to the west of Liaoning. If it weren't for the Murong tribe who also had talents comparable to imperial advisers, then the Murong tribe might have been calculated many times.

"Murongba and I plan to summon the Duan Clan Xianbei and Yuwen Xianbei to form the Xianbei Allied Forces. They cannot be separated or destroyed one by one, making them vulnerable."

"Duan Clan Xianbei and Yuwen Xianbei, will they come to participate in the coalition formed by Murong Xianbei?"

"Duan Piquan and Yuwen Yidou return, they should be more worried than us at this time. Last time they fought the Youzhou Army, the Duan and Yuwen families died and injured many soldiers and horses. They should already know the strength of the Youzhou Army, and Xia The king’s cavalry will only be stronger than Youzhou Army. They will gladly accept our proposal."
