Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 229 Countermeasures 2
After getting a general understanding of the situation in Bingzhou, Gongsun Xu is not in a hurry now, like an ant on a hot pot, and now is not the time to be in a hurry. Anyway, the Black Mountain Army has invaded Bingzhou. Either drive them away or annihilate them. There are only two paths.

Since he doesn't know much about the situation of the Black Mountain Army in Jizhou, Gongsun Xu can't make a comprehensive arrangement now, but he still writes to Youzhou, hoping that his father, Gongsun Zan, can lead the army to help him trap this invading army first. At the same time, he sent an order to Guan Ping to keep this Black Mountain army near Yanmen.

Generally speaking, the current situation is not too bad. Yanmen has a high wall and a strong guard, Guan Ping is also young and promising. In addition, Guan Ping has [-] cavalry in his hands. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the Black Mountain Army for a while It's perfectly fine.

Guan Yu should have gone north by now, what Gongsun Xu has to do is to see if he can draw troops from his side to go back, otherwise, if he keeps procrastinating like this, the situation will only be more unfavorable for him.

Xi Zhicai watched Gongsun Xu make a series of measures, and his heart was very calm. Gongsun Xu was not frightened by the situation in front of him, and there was still room for maneuver.

"My lord, the situation is urgent now. Should we change the place for the Huns? I'm afraid the Huns will take some measures when they find out about such a commotion at Yanmen." Xi Zhicai immediately suggested.

The rest of the people nodded in agreement. Yanmen is the gateway from the grassland to the interior of Bingzhou. The appearance of more than [-] Black Mountain troops will definitely attract the attention of the Huns. Therefore, Gongsun Xu should settle the matter before the Huns take measures. These Montenegrin Army.

"Judging from the current situation, within ten days, the Xiongnu will know that the Black Mountain Army has invaded Yanmen. These days, according to the original plan, they will send cavalry to harass the Huns and see their reaction." Gongsun continued coldly. Said: "The recruits and cavalry should also attack appropriately. In addition, order the selection of the forward army. These days, the time interval between the attacks will be longer, so that they can recharge their batteries."

"The lord wants to return to the army?" Gao Shun asked.

"That's right, but I won't lead too many troops. [-] draft troops are enough. Leave this matter to Zilong. You have to make the illusion that the number of cavalry is reduced in name, and at the same time arrange for [-] draft troops to rest. In the past two days, if the situation in Bingzhou is really urgent, I must return to the army."

"If the lord leaves, the Huns will definitely know. If the Huns counterattack aggressively, what will happen to our army?" Gao Shun asked again.

"Massive counterattack? Hehe." Gongsun Xu sneered and said, "Then give him a little bit of suffering before he counterattacks. , there are still two military advisers and Zilong Hansheng in the camp, doesn't Zhengfang have the confidence to win?"

"Don't dare, it's just the Huns. I have a big camp, so I won't be afraid of the Huns. It's just that if the Lord leaves rashly, it will probably affect the morale of the army. If the morale drops at that time, it may not be good for the war." Gao Shun immediately explained.

"This is troublesome. Do you have any good suggestions?" Gongsun Xu looked at the crowd and asked.

Xi Zhicai said with a smile at this time: "There is no suggestion, but there is a solution."

Hearing that Xi Zhicai was still joking, Gongsun Xu also said with a smile: "Stop making trouble, talk about it quickly."

"Once the lord and the [-] selected vanguards leave, all the soldiers in the camp will know. We can spread the news that the lord envoy led an army to surprise the Huns' rear. The world calls the lord envoy General Hussars alive. I think this is the way to go." As soon as the news comes out, the soldiers will definitely not doubt it." Xi Zhicai replied with a smile.

"This method is good. Although it seems to have a lot of loopholes, it is in line with the military style of the lord. Besides, whether a surprise attack is not a surprise attack depends on how we say it." Zhao Yun also agrees with Xi Zhicai's suggestion.

After thinking for a while, Gongsun Xu said: "Well, for the time being, you can spread the news first, and take precautions for the soldiers, so that they will not disturb them when I am not in the barracks. The Xiongnu captives who took refuge in us will return to Wuyuan first, and I want to deal a head-on blow to the Huns."

"My lord wants to use these captive soldiers?" Zhao Yun asked in surprise.

"Yes, so far, we have selected more than 7000 soldiers from the Huns captives who sincerely joined us. These soldiers will definitely not be able to attack the Huns for the time being. In this case, why don't I take them back to destroy the Huns.

Moreover, it is not a problem for the Huns to stay in the big camp. It is time to make proper arrangements. Most of the rest of the Huns captives are also sent to Wuyuan, which just gives an illusion that I will leave. This matter must be done immediately , Inform Wuyuan to be ready to provide supplies. I will lead the army to go directly to Yanmen. Get it done early. "

Hearing that Gongsun Xu wanted to confuse the Huns, Jia Xu, who had been sitting there squinting his eyes as if he was going to sleep, suddenly said: "Could it be that the Lord envoy wants to lure the Huns to send troops, otherwise there is no need to make such a big show. Just now the Lord said If you want to deal a head-on blow to the Huns, it seems that the lord has a backhand."

"Hahaha, I can't hide anything from you, old fox. That's right. If you want the Huns to be honest, you must beat them again. Otherwise, if I leave, I will definitely be counterattacked by them. I will leave the camp within ten days. Now, let's figure it out, how can we lure the Huns into the bait."

While Gongsun Xu was busy trying to trap the Huns, Guan Yu had already arrived at the planned location to organize the military. What he had to do was to prevent the Black Mountain Army from going south. Little chance.

The court of Youzhou was connected to Jizhou Mu Hanfu's appeal letter and Bingzhou Mu Gongsun Xu's appeal letter. As the emperor, Liu Bian could no longer just sit idly by. Moreover, Gongsun Zan had repeatedly asked to send troops. If Bian still insists on not sending troops, it will be unreasonable.

Therefore, Liu Bian prepared Gongsun Zan to send troops, but Gongsun Zan had to reserve enough troops to defend You Beiping. The last time he attacked the Black Mountain Army, the entire You Beiping was almost wiped out, and Gongsun Zan had no choice. Xiang Yong, who led [-] cavalry and had not disbanded, went to deal with the Black Mountain Army first.

On the side of the Xiongnu camp, I don’t know who came to inquire about the news. It is said that Yanmen in Bingzhou is very critical now. There are hundreds of thousands of Black Mountain troops appearing near Yanmen, burning, killing and looting, and the whole Yanmen is about to be captured. up.

Then, some spies inquired that tens of thousands of cavalry had quietly left the camp of the Northern Xinjiang Army. The bold spies approached and found that it was the Northern Xinjiang Army commander Gongsun Xu and Gongsun Xu's most elite forward troops. They headed towards Wuyuan. set off.

Maybe it was because Gongsun Xu didn't do it secretly enough, or maybe it was because the military literacy of the Huns was not very low. Anyway, the news of Gongsun Xu's dispatch of troops back to aid Yanmen was known by the Huns. I saw the hope of defeating the Northern Xinjiang Army.

After rewarding the scouts who found out the news, Xu Bugudu immediately called his men to discuss countermeasures. First, everyone agreed to send people to contact the Black Mountain Army that attacked Yanmen. The army teamed up to attack Yanmen from front to back.

In any case, the news from Yanmen is still a rumor, Xu Bu Gudu must send someone to confirm it first, if the situation is true, it would be the best, if the situation is not right, then it is probably another trick of the Northern Xinjiang Army up.

Then, Xubuguduhou asked everyone how to deal with the fact that Gongsun Xu had led tens of thousands of cavalry to leave the camp. Almost everyone thought that this was their only chance to defeat the Northern Army, which was the most feared. It is their advanced weapons and fierce cavalry.

Now that even the Selected Front Army has been transferred away, the combat effectiveness of the Northern Border Army can be said to be greatly reduced. However, this news is not completely true.

In the next few days, the latest news continued to come in. On the Yanmen side, the Huns sent scouts to inquire about the news. When it was confirmed that there were indeed 10,000+ Montenegro troops attacking Yanmen, Xubuguduhou immediately sent people there To form an alliance with the Montenegro Army, to show his sincerity, Xu Bu Gudu Hou first sent people to send three thousand horses, hoping to join hands with the Montenegro Army.

At the same time, after confirming that the cavalry who harassed his side these days were no longer the elite frontier troops of the Northern Frontier Army, Hou Bugudu also confirmed that Gongsun Xu probably led the frontier troops to leave.The opportunity must not be missed, and it will never come again. Xu Bugudu felt that this was Changshengtian's care for him. Gongsun Xu did not expect such a thing as the Black Mountain Army, so he had to seize this opportunity.

In order to deceive people's eyes and ears, Xubugudu Hou sent people to deal with the Black Mountain Army who came to harass his camp, and at the same time assembled more than [-] elite troops. He was going to launch a surprise attack on the Northern Xinjiang Army. When preparing to dispatch troops, the Beijiang Army suddenly stopped all military activities, and all the soldiers and horses of the Beijiang Army were shrunk into the camp.

Now, Xu Buguduhou is even more sure that Gongsun Xu and the Xuanfeng Army have left. Those cavalry sent to harass them a few days ago are just a cover-up. The matter of mobilizing troops on his side may be inquired by the Northern Xinjiang Army. When it arrived, the Northern Xinjiang Army began to shrink its troops and prepare to defend the camp.

Now, Xubu Guduhou is really overjoyed. Gongsun Xu is not here, and the number of cavalry of the Northern Army has decreased so much. He must take advantage of the weakest time of the Northern Army to deal a severe blow. It is best to take advantage of this time. It is almost impossible to beat the northern army so hard that they can't lift their heads.

Anyway, it was already known by the Northern Xinjiang Army, and the Xiongnu no longer secretly dispatched troops. Hou Buguduhou immediately commanded the assembled [-] cavalry to attack the Northern Xinjiang Army camp. The Northern Army defeated them before they were ready, and he couldn't give the Northern Army a chance.

At the same time, on the Yanmen side, the Black Mountain Army was about to withdraw after several days of unsuccessful attacks on Yanmen. However, Guan Yu blocked their way to the south, and there was Gongsun Zan on the Youzhou side. Form an alliance, now, they have no other way out except to attack Yanmen with all their strength.
