Chapter 1343

Hearing the speech, Guo Jia went to the map and looked at it carefully for a long time. Then he looked up at Huangfu Chaobo and said, "king, if General Huang's army has time, it should be able to intercept Cao Xing's army before it arrives in the clouds..."

Just at this time, the guard outside the door was reporting to him, "my Lord! Send someone outside the city to report that the cavalry of general Pingbei has arrived. General Pingbei has entered the city and is coming here. "

"Here comes Zilong!" Huangfu Chaobo was overjoyed at the news, so he quickly got up and looked out.

Soon, a heroic figure appeared in the public's sight. Seeing that Huangfu Chao was broad, many people saw his own direction. Zhao Yun speeded up his pace, quickly entered the house and bowed to Huangfu Chao: "I didn't kowtow Zhao Yun to my king!"

Huangfu chaobo'an sat on the throne, accepted Zhao Yun's worship, immediately got up, quickly walked up to him, held him with both hands, and said with a smile, "Zilong has worked hard. What's the morale of the soldiers?"

"King Hui, after this period of training, the army has completely recovered to the level before the war with the Zhao army. According to the king's instructions, now there are 5000 elite Yicong and 10000 ordinary Yicong. When Jieshi fights against Bingzhou Langqi, he will not lose face to the king." Zhao Yun said solemnly;

"well, if you have Zilong's words, you can feel relieved."

Zhao Yun's words have greatly increased the confidence of the Tang army. There is no way. Who can make Lv Bu too strong? The Tang army and Lv Bu's cavalry have fought several times, but none of them achieved the result of close balance with their superior forces. It's really that Lv Bu and his Bingzhou wolf cavalry are too strong.

Fortunately, although Lv Bu is strong, Zhao's strength is too weak compared with Tang's. After several wars, the damaged cavalry of Bingzhou wolf riding is not so easy to replenish. Therefore, the cavalry of Tang army can be replenished soon after each loss. However, Lv Bu's Bingzhou wolf riding is getting less and less. According to the news from shadow guard, now Bingzhou wolf riding is very weak Wolf riding is no more than 15000, less than 20000 troops.

After two days' rest in Shangdang, the army set out again and headed for Nei County in the north. This time, in addition to more than 30000 close guards, as well as 15000 Baima Yicong of Zhao Yun, 25000 Hujie troops of Shangdang and 20000 County soldiers and Minfu, there were nearly 100000 troops heading for Nanguan in the northwest of Nei county.

Almost at the same time, on the grassland hundreds of miles north of Shangdang, tens of thousands of cavalry troops appeared in the sky more than a month ago, starting from Yanbei county.

Huang Xu's army consists of 50000 people, one with two horses and more than 100000 horses. In addition to the 20000 cavalry and 10000 soldiers in Yanbei County, there are also 20000 wuheng cavalry under the command of xianyufu henanlou, a minister of Liaodong.

Fifty thousand troops and one hundred thousand horses, like a raging wave, came in the direction of tanhanshan. In the army, Huang Xu's face is tired, and his armor is even more covered with ice.

Gently reined the horse, the horse slowly slowed down. Several generals nearby saw that, and all of them quickly lowered their horses. A general came forward and said, "general, what can I do for you?"

Huang Xu wiped off the water stains on his face: "Xianyu general, where is this place?"

General Xian Yufu, who is called general Xian Yu, is under Xiaoqiang. As the number one general under Youzhou mu, he should be most familiar with the situation in the north of Youzhou.

Sure enough, after hearing Huang Xu's question, Xian Yufu immediately stood up, looked around and said to Huang Xu, "general, if there is no mistake, our army has arrived near the tanhanshan mountain!"

"Not bad!" Another general nearby also replied: "general, I have never been to tanhanshan several times. Now the army should not be more than 20 li away from tanhanshan."

It was Nanlou who answered. If they were not familiar with the situation outside the Great Wall during the March, Huang Xu's 50000 troops would certainly have suffered a heavy loss. Rao is so. The heavy snow also caused nearly 10% loss of 50000 troops, and the war horses suffered a lot.

Seeing that the two men were so sure, Huang Xu was also relieved: "OK, pass the order, the army will continue to move forward. After arriving at tanhanshan, the army will rest for two days, and then enter the territory of Yanmen."

"No!"

Soon, the torrent continued to surge southwest.

It was getting dark, and the army finally arrived at the northern foot of Tanhan mountain. The so-called tanhanshan mountain, also known as Daqingshan Mountain in the south of Shangyi County, belongs to a section of Yinshan Mountain range. It has always been a holy land of exotic people on the grassland. Only after Lv Bu came to power in Bingzhou, he once thoroughly cleaned the area in the north of Bingzhou, so there were no more exotic cavalry on tanhanshan mountain.

After the army arrived at tanhanshan, Huang Xu was also relieved. Rao was very tired after more than a month's snowing. What's more, along the way, they encountered two blizzards. Fortunately, xianyufu and Nanlou were familiar with the terrain, so that they found a place to avoid the blizzard.

Even so, the army lost thousands of troops. Fortunately, the economic strength of the Tang army was strong. Not only the protection of 50000 soldiers was well done, but the 100000 horses were all set out with enough refined food. Otherwise, when his army arrived at tanhanshan, it would not be a 12% problem.Tens of thousands of troops had a full rest in tanhanshan for two days. At Huang Xu's command, they set out again to Yanmen county.

Yanmen County, Pingcheng, more than 30000 Zhao troops under the leadership of Pingnan general Cao Xing, just entered the city.

Looking at the more than 30000 soldiers and horses entering the city, Cao Xing was still dissatisfied, but it was not as good as when he had just left Jinyang. When he left Jinyang, he had only more than 10000 soldiers and the 1000 Bingzhou wolf cavalry that Lv Bu had specially sent to him. With the army going all the way north, he took over more than 10000 soldiers in Yanmen. So along the way, Cao Xing marched, On the one hand, he broke up his two thousand bodyguards and put them into the army to reorganize the 30000 troops. Now when he arrived in Pingcheng, the 30000 troops were barely able to make it.

Cao Xing believes that when he leads his troops to Xianyang, these soldiers and horses will not be able to fight head-on with the Tang army in the field, but there should be no problem in participating in the defense task. Cao Xing believes that only after a few wars, these 30000 soldiers will grow into the elite of the Zhao state. Of course, it is estimated that the best result is to have 10000 soldiers left in the end, but Cao Xing is not No, that's how elite come from?
