Chapter 1278

Huangfu Chaobo looked at several people and said, "Dear Qing, once the state of Zhao is pacified in the north, there will be no looking back. You can be sure that the next king of Zhao will aim at the state of Yan or Gu. In your opinion, we should deal with it now?"

"If Zhao Jun is going south, there are only two ways: Shangdang and Hedong. Now Shangdang's population has reached nearly 300000, and people's hearts have basically recovered. So please order Dianjun general and captains of Shangdang to replenish Shangdang's troops as soon as possible, and at the same time, step up training to prepare for Zhao's invasion." Guo Jiadao;

"does the army of Tian Yu need to return to Hedong? Or continue to attack Shangjun? " Huang Fu Chao Bo asked after him;

"in my opinion, it doesn't have to be like this. It's not so easy for Lv Bu's army to go south. It just needs the king's order to expand the Yingyang army in Hedong and strengthen the defense in the north. And if the army of Tian Yu can capture Shangjun, it will be a threat to Zhao's flank. "

"In this way, gubian ordered Hanoi and Shangdang to increase their troops and strengthen their defense." After hearing the words, Huangfu Chaobo made a detour. Later, he discussed with several people the intelligence of the surrounding princes, but they didn't see anything unusual. However, Huangfu Chaobo always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find anything wrong. Finally, he had to give up.

If he doesn't want to go further into the matter, his entourage will come to report, and Kong Rong, the Minister of Honglu temple, will report. The envoys of the state of Qin have arrived in Luoyang, and have been placed in the post house of Honglu temple, and have submitted the letters of state, asking for your opinion.

As early as half a month ago, the state of Qin had secretly sent an emissary to Luoyang, saying that the state of Qin was willing to make an alliance with the state of Tang. Now it is the emissary who comes to discuss the alliance.

In fact, for Guanzhong, the idea of Tang state was to calm it down first, and then focus on Hebei and Bingzhou. However, the sudden war between Zhao state and Yan state, coupled with Wei state's sending troops, changed Huangfu's idea of Chaobo. At the beginning, the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty had a dispute over whether to level the central plain first or to attack and merge with Hebei first. However, Huangfu Chaobo considered that it was easier to level the central plain than to attack and merge with Hebei, so he decided the strategy of "west before East". Now it seems that he felt it necessary to make an adjustment. Therefore, Huangfu Chaobo agreed to the request of alliance between the two families, so the state of Qin sent people to Luoyang to discuss the alliance.

……

In the kingdom of Wei, Bohai County, Nanpi City, the palace of the king of Wei, Yuan Shao, the king of Wei, sat on the throne, and his advisers were divided into two columns.

"You are invited here to confirm the progress of the war." Seeing that all the advisers had arrived, Yuan Shao said slowly, "Mr. Xu, what's the matter with Zhuo county now?"

"King Hui, now the soldiers and horses of Zhongshan and Hejian have begun to attack Zhuoxian, and the reinforcements of Yan have arrived at the North Bank of Taoshui. According to the intelligence, the king of Yan is ready to send more troops and horses to support." Xu you came out with a little moustache and replied,

"what's the situation with King Zhao?" Yuan Shao nodded and asked;

"according to the news from Daijun, the king of Zhao has entrusted the task of attacking Shuofang to Zhao General Zhang Liao. At present, the king of Zhao has personally led 15000 Bingzhou wolves to Daijun, and Zhao general Cao Xing, who has attacked Shanggu, has also led his cavalry to Daijun. After the two armies join up, they can go down to the South with our king The army converged. "

"Well, in this way, we won't be afraid of the cavalry of the Tang army. Now Huaxiong of the Tang army has led 10000 Xiliang cavalry to attack Shangjun. In this way, there are only 10000 white horses and thousands of ordinary cavalry left in Weijun. General Yan Liang and general Wen Chou, where are your two armies now? " Yuan Shao nodded his head with satisfaction, then looked at the two generals beside him;

after hearing the words, they rushed out, and Yan Liang hummed back: "don't worry, your majesty. After several days of ambush and nocturnal travel, the army has arrived at the predetermined position in the early morning of the day before yesterday. Just wait for your Majesty's order to launch an attack."

"The end general is in place!" Wen Chou also replied;

"what's the situation in the south?"

This time, Xun Kan, the Minister of Honglu temple, came out to answer: "King Hui, the armies of the king of Qi and the king of Wu in the South have already been in place. However, the relationship between the two families is not harmonious, and the Langya army has restrained them, so the troops of the two families are not many. The king of Qi promised to send eight to ten thousand troops, while the king of Wu had only fifty to sixty thousand. However, the two armies are all ready. We need our great Wei to send troops before we are willing to move. "

"Hum The two mice generation.... " Yuan Shao snorted two times when he heard the speech. However, he had no choice but thought that after he defeated the Tang army, he would make the two families look good.

……

Huangfu Chaobo and the Tang army did not know that an alliance around the Tang army had shown sharp claws to themselves.

As a matter of fact, at the beginning of the Wei Kingdom, they didn't have any idea about the Tang kingdom. In the view of the monarchs and ministers of the Wei Kingdom, the first thing they had to do was to destroy the Yan Kingdom and seize the horse breeding base in Youzhou, and then turn back to deal with the Tang army and Zhao kingdom.

However, after Zhao was raided by the state of Tang last year and lost Shangdang, Chen Gong thought about it for nearly half a month. Finally, he thought of this series of tactics, and went to Nanpi, the capital of the state of Wei, to persuade the state of Wei to help feint and contain the forces of Yan army.It was also because the Tang Dynasty raided the upper party successfully, which made the whole state of Wei fear the Tang Dynasty. Just as Chen Gong's move reminded all the people of the state of Wei, under the reminder of Guo Tu, the Prime Minister of the state of Wei, the monarchs and ministers of the state of Wei discussed for nearly three days, and finally made a plan.

Then, under the leadership of Wei, Wei, Zhao, Qi and Wu secretly formed an alliance to attack Tang Dynasty. The purpose was to attack the Tang army, weaken the Tang kingdom to the maximum extent, and then destroy it.

In order not to disturb the state of Tang, the army of Qi specially deployed a large number of troops in Beihai, Donghai and Pengcheng after the Spring Festival, and made a gesture to compete with the army of Langya. Only half of these troops were elite, and the rest were recruits just recruited. Although these troops were deployed here, their attack was slightly insufficient, but their defense was not a problem.

At the same time, the most elite army of Qi has quietly gathered at the junction of Tang and Qi, ready to attack Tang at any time.

As for the state of Wu, because Jiangdong also needed a large army to defend against the cold in the South and Liu Yao in the west, and the North could not trust the state of Qi, many troops were restrained in several directions, and only 50000 elite troops could be deployed in the end.
