At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 264 Gathering Generals for Planning
"promise."

Huang Sanxing took the two away excitedly.

"Tiger Maniac, beat the drum to gather the generals."

"Boom boom boom!"

After a moment, the huge sound of drums echoed on Shuiyun Mountain, spreading far away and lasting for a long time.

At noon, the Military and Political Department was taken over by Hu Chi and his personal guards. Lu Ju, Huluxu, Pan Yuanshao, Chen Gong, Gao Li, Zhao Muli, Qin Yuanba and other confidants were all elsewhere. Xiahou Qing, Guo Tu, and even Gu Yun who was far away in Shangdang were called back.

Among them are brave generals who charge into battle, kill generals and seize flags, as well as strategists who plan strategies and win battles thousands of miles away.

This is his current team, the team of the Pingxi General’s Mansion.

There was a huge map hanging on the wall, covering the Central Plains court, Northern Wei, Jizhou, Xiliang and the Western Regions.

The generals were on the right, the counselors were on the left, Xiao Han and the mistress Ning Xi sat in the first seat, and Miaoyu was in the first seat on the left. She stood up and unveiled the curtain of the space, and a huge and exquisite sand table appeared in front of everyone.

Every mountain, every river, every state, county, village and town are included in the sand table.

"Good stuff."

Lu Ju's eyes lit up.

This sand table covers the territories of Jizhou, Northern Wei and Xiliang states, and even the flags in the barracks and cities are clearly distinguished.

"Don't move, kid."

Just as Lu Ju was about to reach out his hand, Xiao Han slapped his hand away and said disdainfully: "This thing cost me countless efforts and financial resources to make, be careful."

"I will be careful."

Lu Ju scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

Xiao Han held a bamboo pole and pointed at the small town with the flag of Jubei City and said, "At this time, the main force of the Northern Wei army led by Helian Bobo is stationed there. There are 100,000 troops stationed outside Shuoyin City on the east front, and tens of thousands of troops are stationed in the direction of Zangcheng."

"Like a crab with two big claws sticking out."

“It really looks like it.”

Hu Luxu grinned.

"However, Helian Bobo's main force is stationed at the Northern Wei border in Jizhou, and the two states bordering our Xiliang are empty of troops."

"My Lord, I can lead the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry out of Xiliang and attack the two states of Northern Wei."

Hu Luxu asked for a fight.

"Stop."

Xiao Han raised his hand: "Let's listen to Mr. Guo first."

"Everyone."

Guo Tu stood up and said, "I just received news this morning that Jizhou's food and grass have been almost consumed, but Helian Bobo has taken the initiative to slow down the offensive."

Guo Tu collected the two Northern Wei flags and placed them outside the east and west sides of Jubei City. "He even withdrew his troops and moved closer to Jubei City."

"And according to the information sent back by Miss Miaoyu, it seems that the Northern Wei in Jizhou has made contact in secret."

"So the Marquis suspects that Xie Peiyao's entry into Xiliang in exchange for the Marquis's dispatch of troops is a bait, and its purpose is to lure the Marquis out of Xiliang."

Xiahou Qing stood up and moved the flags on the border of the two Liao territories forward towards Shangdang, and then moved the flags of the Northern Wei in Xihezhou towards Shangdang and Qimen Pass at night.

Inside the hall, everyone's expression changed color.

"The imperial court still has 100,000 troops in the Liao territory. If they go north, they will attack Shangdang together with the Northern Wei."

"And the 100,000-strong army of Jizhou in Shuoyin was divided into two groups. One group will join the Northern Wei army to encircle the Marquis, and the other group will go south to attack the five counties of Youzhou."

Xiahou Qing's tone was not quick. "Northern Wei Jizhou and the Central Plains court have joined forces to encircle and suppress Xiliang. Then Jizhou's 400,000 cavalry should be able to withdraw 300,000 to attack Qingyou Pass from Shuoyin, Changshan, and Qingzhou."

"Is the news accurate?"

Veins bulged on Zhao Muli's forehead.

"90% sure."

Miaoyu spoke.

"That would be difficult."

Qin Yuanba took over the conversation, his face solemn, looking at the sand table and said: "We currently have 200,000 cavalry on standby, plus the six guards of Xia Pi and Shang Dang, we can gather a maximum of 350,000 troops."

In addition to the three Shatuo guards, Shangdang added three more guards this year.

"But we are facing 300,000 cavalrymen, plus the 400,000 troops of the Northern Wei. If the 100,000 troops of the imperial court are also dispatched in the border of the two Liao territories, the force will be twice as much as ours."

"So in this battle, we will focus on defense on the east front and attack the west front. Since the Marquis of Zhenbei wants to overturn the table, I will play with him." Xiao Han narrowed his eyes: "Swallow the entire Jizhou in one breath."

"hiss"

The generals and staff in the hall all gasped in shock, and after being shocked, they all showed expressions of ecstasy.

Everyone present was brave and wise. They were not afraid of their lord's ambitions, but they were afraid of his lack of courage.

Obviously, the Xiliang Marquis in front of them was a person who had both ambition and courage...

In this adverse situation, he still wanted to swallow Jizhou in one gulp.

"My Lord, you don't need to worry about Shangdang."

Gu Yun stroked his beard and said, "No matter whether it is the Northern Wei army or the Liao cavalry, they can never cross Shangdang City."

"This time, I will withdraw all the main elite troops from the six guards of Shangdang to cooperate with the battle on the western front."

Xiao Han looked at him and said, "At most I can leave 40,000 people for you and Shi Qing."

"enough."

Gu Yun nodded: "With 40,000 Xiliang cavalry here, even if the king of heaven comes, I can stop him."

"Chen Gong, you lead 20,000 soldiers to station at Qimen Pass. This time, Qimen Pass is likely to be the main attack of the Northern Wei."

"Zhao Mule, you lead 20,000 black armored soldiers to guard Qingyou Pass."

"Lu Ju, you are in charge of the eastern front this time, and I only give you 100,000 troops. If you lose half an inch of land in the three counties, I will take your head. Do you dare?"

"no problem."

Lu Ju patted his chest and issued a military order.

"Next is the Eastern Front."

Guo Tu waved his fan and said, "The western front is mainly defensive, and the eastern front is mainly offensive. We have to face the Northern Wei and Jizhou armies at the same time."

"My Lord, why don't you leave the Eastern Front to General Liao Huan?"

he suggested.

"I also think he should be the leader."

Xiao Han smiled and nodded: "Mr. Xiahou and Yuan Shao will be in charge of Xiliang City, Ning Xi and Miaoyu will be in charge of Shuiyun Mountain, and the four of you will be in charge of the overall situation."

Mr. Guo and Liao Huan are partners on the East Line. ”

"Huluxu."

He began to call out orders.

Suddenly Luxu stepped out.

"You will lead 40,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and be ready to receive orders from Mr. Guo and Liao Huan at any time."

"Qin Yuanba."

"The end will be here."

"You will lead the Shen Ce Army and be stationed in the Xiliang Camp. You will be ready to receive orders from Mr. Guo at any time."

"If anyone disobeys, he will be executed immediately."

"I will obey my orders."

Qin Yuanba nodded.

"High courtesy"

"The end will be here."

"You will lead 10,000 Black Armored Soldiers and be ready to follow Mr. Guo's orders at any time. If you disobey, you will be executed immediately."

"promise."

"In addition, the cavalry of the Six Guards of Xia Pi and the Six Guards of Shang Dang are also under the command of Mr. Guo."

Xiao Han clasped his fists towards Guo Tu and said, "Thank you, Mr. Guo, for the battle on the eastern front this time."

Guo Tu bowed hurriedly and said, "My lord, you can't do this. This is what I should do."

"This war."

Xiao Han stood up and said with a smile: "I will be the bait. Shui Ling will lead 20,000 Tiger Guards and 20,000 Youzhou Cavalry out of Shuoyin to attract the attention of the Northern Wei and hold back the White-robed Soldier Immortal and Helian Bobo."
