Chapter 842

But it is said that Wu Yunzhao and Yu Chigong fought for a whole day, and at sunset they were finally exhausted and fled into the city in defeat.

Yuchi Gong was also out of breath at the moment, Zhang Shigui didn't wait for Yu Chi Gong's scolding to hurt morale, and let the soldiers shoot arrows towards Guan Xia.For a moment, the arrows flew like flying, Yu Chigong hurriedly waved the Zhangba stainless steel horse lance, and retreated while blocking the rain of arrows.

Back in the formation, Zhang Shigui still ordered the soldiers to shoot arrows, keeping Yu Chigong a hundred paces away.

Yu Chigong was also exhausted at the moment, he didn't have the strength to shout, so he could only order to retreat, planning to come to challenge in the future.

Inside Baitan Pass, Zhang Shigui and Cheng Yaojin also hurriedly came down from the pass to see Wu Yunzhao.Wu Yunzhao turned over and got off his horse, staggered and almost fell, the soldiers around him hurriedly supported him.Zhang Shigui walked over quickly, and said with concern: "What's the matter, doesn't it matter?"

Wu Yunzhao turned pale, shook his head weakly and said: "It's okay, it's just that the physical strength is exhausted."

"I saw you were tired at noon, thanks to your support until now!" Cheng Yaojin stepped forward to support Wu Yunzhao, sighing.

"It's a pity that I couldn't last longer, so that morale was demoralized." Wu Yunzhao said regretfully.

"It's nothing. His Majesty ordered me to wait to guard the gate. We have more soldiers and horses. Guarding the gate is easy. Morale is not that important." Zhang Shigui shook his head and said in relief.

Several people supported Wu Yunzhao to go back to rest, while Zhang Shigui was very distressed about how to clarify the misunderstanding with Yu Chigong.

At this time, in the direction of Pinggu, Liu Bian gathered together with Wenwu under his command, and took a hundred Jinyiwei households to report the matter to Liu Bian.

"Is everything clear?" Liu Bian asked Jin Yiwei.

Jin Yiwei clapped his hands and replied: "Yes, two days ago, Xu Ping, where Liu Bei was, did indeed mobilize troops. The soldiers and horses went north, and there were only a thousand people. Because of the small number of people, I did not pay attention to them. But after they came back, But he was sent to Liaodong by Liu Bei."

"Do you know who the leader is?" Liu Bian continued to ask.

"It's Li Keyong's third son, Li Cunmao."

"Li Cunmao!" Liu Bian tapped his fingers on the table, the melody fluctuated from fast to slow.

"Go down first!" Liu Bian waved his hand after a while.

"This is Liu Bei's clumsy plan. The cavalry that is now attacking Baitan Pass should be the Xuanjia Jingqi who has been fighting against Mongolia all year round. Since the big man has signed a peace treaty with Mongolia, you didn't pay attention to Xuanjia Jingqi and let Liu Bei He seized the opportunity. Liu Bei sent his soldiers and horses to pretend to be our army, and had conflicts with the Xuanjia elite cavalry, so he used this elite to attack the northern part of Yuyang, confusing the public."

Holding Zhang Shigui's letter in his hand, combined with the news from Jin Yiwei from Liu Bei, Liu Bian quickly analyzed the general course of the matter.

Wei Xiaokuan, Guo Jia and other counselors also deeply agreed, and nodded in agreement with Liu Bian's speculation.

"It's a clumsy plan, but it worked. Don't we also focus on this army now? At the same time, we also sent three generals. Liu Bei successfully borrowed other forces to hold us back." .” Ju Shou sighed.

"If Yu Chigong was directly implanted under your command, I would consider myself unlucky, but now you use Yu Chigong to deal with me, then I'm sorry, Yuchigong will belong to me!" Liu Bian thought to himself.

Seeing Liu Bian pondering, Xue Rengui cupped his hands and said: "You Zhang and Wu are two generals guarding Baitan. It must be as stable as Mount Tai. Your Majesty doesn't need to worry about it."

Liu Bian smiled slightly, and said: "Baitan Guanzhen is naturally relieved, but Xuanjia Jingqi is a rare elite cavalry, and has been fighting against the Mongols all year round. He is quite familiar with Mongolian warfare, and Yu Chigong is also a rare one. If the Xuanjia Jingqi continues to be used, the two armies will only see constant friction, so that even if there is no hatred, it will become a deep hatred..."

Xue Rengui wondered: "Could it be that Your Majesty wants to subdue this cavalry?"

"That's right, Xuanjia elite cavalry is very rare, and they are very familiar with Mongolian warfare methods. If they are subdued, it will be much easier to fight against Mongolia in the future."

Xue Rengui pondered: "If we want to subdue this cavalry, we must defeat them. But the key point is that they have directly arrived at the Baitan pass, and our army cannot send troops to fight or set up an ambush. In this way, we can only give up Baitan and retreat. Only when you go inside the gate can you use tactics to strike it."

"As the old saying goes, if you don't want your children to be tied to wolves, if you can subdue this cavalry, why care about the gains and losses of a city or a place? General Xue, if you give up Baitan, how can you defeat this cavalry?" Liu Bian asked.

Xue Rengui walked up to the map, pointed to the map and said: "Your Majesty, look down, Baitanguan is the border of Yuyang, the periphery of Yanshan Mountain. Below it is the second county town of Juxi and Luping. When you reach Luoping, it is the outside of Yanshan Mountain. The terrain is flat, and we can only use our forces on a large scale to defeat them only if we retreat to the rough terrain."

Liu Bian nodded, five thousand cavalry was not a minority, not to mention the Xuanjia fine cavalry, which could only be defeated with the help of the terrain and superior forces.

Liu Bian murmured and said: "Our soldiers and horses here cannot be used, otherwise Liu Bei will be aware of it and tell Xuanjia Jingqi that the success will fall short. In this way, we will mobilize [-] cavalry from Shanggu Yuwen Chengdu, and [-] soldiers from Zhuojun Lejin. Lu Ping is on standby. General Xue, how long will it take to mobilize these troops?"

Xue Rengui said without hesitation: "General Yuwen's cavalry is scattered on the plains of Shanggu and Daijun. The cavalry closest to Luping is stationed in Juyong County of Shanggu. After passing Juyongguan, if the speed is fast, it can reach Luping in a day. .Including the report, it will take two days. And the [-] soldiers and horses in Zhuo County are on standby at any time, and they can reach Luping in three days."

"Send people to notify now, dispatch troops and horses, and gather in Junping within three days. At the same time, notify Baitan Zhang Shigui, let him come to the south!" Liu Bian ordered.

"No, the end general will send someone to report!" Xue Rengui bowed his hands and accepted the order.

That night, three groups of messengers left, one went to Juyong to mobilize cavalry, one went to Zhuo County to mobilize infantry, and one went to Baitan to inform Zhang Shigui.

In Yuwen Chengdu, Le Jin was naturally excited when he heard the news. It is natural for generals to be warlike.But Zhang Shigui was at a loss when he got the news.

Inside Baitan Pass, Zhang Shigui looked down at Wu Yunzhao and Cheng Yaojin, and said helplessly: "I didn't expect that the joke that day turned out to be a prophecy. Your Majesty intends to subdue the Xuanjia elite cavalry, and let me feign defeat and retreat to Luping. Your Majesty has deployed heavy troops in the Luping area to ambush the Xuanjia elite cavalry."

"Oh, it's good to have you, why are you so sad?" Cheng Yaojin was very excited when he heard it, and was quite puzzled by Zhang Shigui's sad face.

Zhang Shigui's eyes widened: "What you said is easy. Our army guards the Baitan Pass and occupies a geographical advantage. No matter what happens, the Xuanjia Jingqi will not take the pass, but how do you want me to fake defeat? If it is not true, Yuchi If Gong doesn't lead his troops to chase after me, won't I spoil His Majesty's important affairs?"
