After 10 years of sharpening my sword, I can finally wave

"It's so late," the emperor continued after sighing, "By the way, the Huns' vanguard...should have almost arrived in Youzhou."

"Return to Your Majesty," Song Dian continued after calculating in his mind, "According to the report from the front, if there is no accident, it should be just a few days."

"I hope these Huns don't make any more troubles for me," the Son of Heaven said with narrowed eyes, "After so long, I don't have the patience to continue to accompany them so much!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty," Song Dian on the side quickly comforted: "With Mr. Zheng here, even if the Huns want to continue playing tricks, with Mr. Zheng's ability, it is enough to correct the evil and make the Huns commit crimes obediently. Go ahead as planned.”

"...I hope." After a moment of silence, the emperor continued, "By the way, who is the leader of the Xiongnu vanguard army this time?"

"Return to Your Majesty, it's Qi Mixu, King Zuoguli of the Huns," Song Dian responded.

"And Mixu? I remember him. During the Yuanfeng period, he made trouble for me a lot," the emperor squinted his eyes and said, "But if I remember correctly, he seems to be a few years away from the end of heaven and man.

I didn't expect to go into battle again now.

It seems...the Huns are really no longer used, otherwise, they would never have used such a dying veteran to lead the army. "

"Your Majesty's words are true," Song Dian echoed and complimented, "The land in the northern part of the Great Wall is poor, far from being as outstanding as our Great Zhou Dynasty. And the Chanyus of the Xiongnu don't have the ability to know people and make good use of them like Your Majesty.

It is normal that no one is available now.

Even if it wasn't for the encumbrance of such unfaithful, unfilial, forgetful and righteous people like Bai Ni, with His Majesty's wisdom and martial arts, he would have already included this land outside the Great Wall as my Great Zhou territory.Thousands of miles of grasslands are all my pastures. "

"It's no use talking about it now."

Song Dian boasted shamelessly, but the emperor really accepted it.

But there is no other way, in his eyes, the appearance of the princes of these four towns was the biggest failure of the Great Zhou Taizu during his reign.Even if the situation in the world has collapsed to this point, the current emperor does not think that the root of this is actually on him.

"However, this is also good," the emperor continued: "A leading general who is about to die and will not be swayed by life and death will bring a lot of trouble to Bai Ni. It is not impossible to leave one of the generals."

"Understood, Your Majesty, this old slave will arrange it now," Song Dian continued.

The former head of the Imperial City Division and the Arch Guard Division was demoted and dismissed because of the queen's head, and was sent to serve in our army.

Put aside the Gongwei Division, here in the Imperial City Division, there are not many people who can be trusted by the emperor, and they must have enough strength and ability to hold the place and get things done.

So the emperor thought twice, and the hot potato still fell into Song Dian's hands.

That's why there is the word "arrangement".

"Arrangements are fine, but don't put the cart before the horse," the emperor reminded: "Be clear, winning or losing on the battlefield in Youzhou is not important. What matters is the battles in Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and the three auxiliary lands... absolutely Can't lose!"

"It's Your Majesty, this old slave will do his best to protect the states in the war."

That's right, the court's plan actually changed dramatically after the Xiongnu entered the customs and Lai stayed in Yanmen and Yumen for a long time.

After all, according to the previous vision of the imperial court.

He wanted to attack Youzhou by surprise.Then, with the momentum of a big victory, he swallowed, and even took Youzhou in one fell swoop.

However, the actions of the Xiongnu made the court's plan, dare not say it was in vain, it will be greatly discounted.

In this case, continuing to attack Youzhou is no longer the best choice.

Therefore, as the Huns became more and more excessive, the patience of the emperor was finally exhausted.After convening the confidants to discuss, there was a new plan.

That is, when all the eyes of the people in the world are attracted by the battle in Youzhou, the imperial court directly came to build the plank road in the open, and secretly kept Chencang.

The heavy troops secretly deployed on the border of Youji were secretly transferred to several other states and counties.

Afterwards, when the battle in Youzhou came together, these troops immediately took action.Sweep out the rebels entrenched in Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Sanfu, and restore these places to Qingming.

I have to admit that the imperial court's calculations are not bad.

In this way, the imperial court will be able to use the smallest cost to deal with the blood-sucking rebels entrenched in these states and hold back a lot of energy and troops of the imperial court.

Some of these states were separated from the areas controlled by the imperial court and brought back into the imperial court's control and taxation system.

At the same time, more energy and strength can be obtained.

This is also a heavy lesson for the treacherous Huns.

The court has withdrawn most of its troops, and the Xiongnu, who are alone, will bear more pressure from the Zhenbei Houfu, and the losses will be even greater!

But then again, this time the imperial court's plan is really strictly kept secret.

Before the plan was formally implemented, apart from the leading generals and a limited number of people, even Zheng Quan, the head of the big business department, a good-looking official of the first rank, did not know that the court had changed the plan.

The target was no longer Youzhou, but the rebels entrenched in several states in the hinterland of the Central Plains.

Alright, back to the book.

Not to mention the actions of the court.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Youzhou, Dai County, and Town Guard House.

"Report, report to the general. Now the Xiongnu vanguard 18 cavalry under the leadership of King Zuoguli and Mixu of the Xiongnu have arrived at Sanggan. It is estimated that they will arrive in Dai County in a day at most."

On the Youzhou side, it is natural that they don't know the true intention of the imperial court.Accompanied by hurried footsteps, a messenger quickly stepped into the door.

At the same time as submitting the news obtained by the former army's scouts, it was also reported to Liu Shangting, the highest military officer in the western theater of the Zhenbei Army and one of the four major guards under Zhenbei Hou's command.

"Have you arrived at Sanggan, haven't you? It's really fast enough!"

Liu Shang narrowed his eyes and took the military report from the summoner from his hands.After browsing the sand table in front of him, he said to himself: "18 cavalry...

it is good!

Then let this general do his best to be a landlord, and first meet the 18 cavalry for a while!Collect some interest.

As for the rest of the account... Let's make a pen, slowly, and make a clear calculation!

Come on, beat the drums... gather generals! "

Chapter 744 Night Attack

"Liu Shang! You have no guts, you despicable villain!"

The sun was setting, two hundred miles away from Dai County.

The Xiongnu Zuoguli King and Mixu looked at the Zhenbei army going away, and were so angry that they had no time to pay attention to their demeanor and manners.Using the worst words he could think of, he cursed loudly.

In fact, it’s no wonder that our Hun Zuoguli King is so indignant. It’s really too hateful for the cavalry of the Zhenbei Army headed by Liu Shang.

Since the rising of the red sun today, the Zhenbei Army Cavalry led by Liu Shang began to harass Qie Mixu's troops repeatedly.
