Chapter 1188

Huangfu Chaobo didn't stay in Yingxi County for long. On the third day, he continued to go south under the protection of the guards and went to Runan County for inspection. When they arrived at Pingyu, the center of Runan, Shi A's information from Shangdang was also sent to Huangfu Chaobo through Luoyang.

Raising the pigeon letter in his hand, Huangfu Chaobo said to Guo Jia with a smile: "I didn't expect that Master Lu Bu would know the player strategy now? The cavalry first sent troops to drive out the Xianbei people outside the Great Wall, and the soldiers quietly gathered in the clouds, and then used them to attack Wuyuan and Shuofang when they returned. "

Guo Jia took the pigeon letter and looked at it again. Then he handed it to Pang Tong and said with a smile, "in this way, we must speed up the training of crossbow soldiers. Lv Bu's army will attack Wuyuan. If all the people of Wuyuan can delay a little longer, Lv Bu will have to send troops from Shangdang's Taiyuan counties for support. In this way, our opportunity will come."

"That's right, so the longer Wuyuan delays, the better. The longer the delay, the more soldiers Lu Bu is likely to mobilize." Pang Tong nodded and said;

"one more thing," Guo Jia said suddenly, "the Lord must remind Bingzhou that when the Lvbu army comes back from the grassland, the cavalry will directly bypass the Yinshan Mountain to the north of Wuyuan and Shuofang. Once upon a time, the Xianbei Army invaded the south. If the Lvbu army is allowed to invade the two counties, they will probably spend two or three months It won't hold

After hearing this, Huangfu Chaobo was horrified and said, "yes, I would have ignored it if I hadn't been reminded by filial piety. But there are other things to pay attention to? "

Two people are shaking their heads: "no, just need to tell them, for Zhao's attack need to be careful, can't have half of luck."

"Don't worry, they will be like this. General Zhang Liao of Zhao army is a famous general in the world. If they dare to take it lightly, the two counties will not be protected."

With that, Huangfu Chaobo connected Zhao Zilong to have a communication. He told him the information he received and Guo Jia's conjecture one by one. Although Zhao Zilong knew that Lv Bu couldn't let them go easily, he didn't expect that since he would be ready to solve the two counties so soon, they chatted for a while before hanging up the communication.

After the communication with Huangfu Chaobo, Zhao Zilong immediately contacted Xiake, Lao Du and Xiao jiejie and told them the news that Huangfu Chaobo had told him. All of them were calm. Fortunately, everyone was ready, so they soon reacted. Moreover, it took three or five months for Lu Bu to send troops to sweep the grassland. All his people have been strengthening the defense of the passes and important cities in the two counties.

What's more, the huge number of crossbows brought back from the end of last year have all been equipped to soldiers. After half a year's training, these crossbow soldiers are ready for war. I believe they will be more skilled in a few months.

After several people finished their correspondence, Wuyuan and Shuofang began to prepare for the war more actively.

……

In the early stage, Huangfu Chaobo didn't have the time and energy to take care of them, and he also needed Zhao Zilong to attract LV Bujun's attention, so as to create conditions for him to move the army to merge with Zhou. Of course, it also depends on which side of Bingzhou and Guanzhong first appeared, so as to determine the direction of Tang army's attack.

If there is an accident in Guanzhong first, then the Tang army will certainly command Guanzhong first, but if there is a fighter in Bingzhou first, then it will certainly command the army to the north. This is the relationship between forces. Although the Tang army and the people in Bingzhou were allies, Huangfu Chaobo had to make some choices in front of the interests of the Tang state.

After staying in Pingyu for two days, Huangfu Chaobo continued to go south. Runan was an important town in Yuzhou, so Huangfu Chaobo always arranged Huang Zhong to lead 40000 soldiers to guard it as the backup of Qiaojun and Lujiang. If Qiaojun or Lujiang had any difference, Runan's 40000 soldiers could support the two counties at any time.

In addition, Huang Zhong was originally the commander of Shenwu army. He had five battalions under the jurisdiction of four counties in Yuzhou and one county in Yangzhou.

A few days later, the 7000 guards, who joined 5000 Turkistan cavalry, escorted Huangfu Chaobo and two military divisions across the huaishui River and entered the boundary of Lujiang River. If we say that Huangfu Chaobo only focused on those important passes or cities in Sizhou and Yuzhou counties, then Huangfu Chaobo is going to make a round of careful inspection of the counties one by one for the newly attached places like Lujiang River.

The main purpose of this is to send troops to the north or west in peace of mind in the future. The so-called "resisting the outside" needs to settle the inside first. If the inside is unstable, how can it expand to the outside?

Xinxi City, the southernmost part of Runan County, was originally occupied by Huangfu Chaobo's army. Now it comes to the Bank of huaishui river again. The original temporary floating bridge has been reinforced by craftsmen and has become a fixed bridge. According to the request of Zuo Chengzu, the governor of Lujiang River, in the next few years, this bridge will be built into a more solid iron cable bridge or cable bridge Shidun bridge.

After crossing the huaishui River, Huangfu Chaobo traveled from geyang, Xiyang and Qisi, then all the way down the huaishui River to Anfeng City, which is adjacent to Jiujiang river. Then he went all the way south from Anfeng, and passed Lu'an and Longshu to Lushu county.Ten miles to the north of Shuxian County, a group of Lujiang officials led by Zuo Chengzu, the governor of Lujiang, and a group of generals of Xuanwu camp led by Kong Xin are all here. They are quietly looking to the north. It's may now. Although the weather is not too hot, a group of civil and military officers and generals who have been standing in the sun for more than an hour have already been sweating. A group of generals are fine, and they have been in the army all the year round Wu's life made them happy with this situation, but all the civil servants complained.

However, even so, none of the people here dare to show a trace of impatience, because they are waiting for their king.

It was not until the middle of the time that several riders from the North came rushing. They ran to Zuo Chengzu, turned over and dismounted, and reported: "I tell you, my Lord, the king's army has been ten miles away, and there are more than ten thousand cavalry. It will take about half an hour to get here."

When they heard this, they were all in high spirits. They didn't need Zuo Chengzu's orders. They all stood up straight and arranged their robes. Then they stood in two rows, waiting for Wang Jia who was coming to the north.

A little half an hour later, a few miles to the north, the dust was rising all over the sky, and it was approaching them quickly in this direction. Soon, nearly ten thousand cavalry appeared in the public's sight.
