Hu Cai said: "General, the opportunity is rare, please send troops quickly."

Mrs. Guo turned her eyes to Li Le and asked, "Li Le, what about your opinion?"

Li Ledao: "General, the emperor gave a secret edict to order our army to take advantage of the situation to attack Hetao. It was just a strategy to drive tigers and swallow wolves. Its purpose was nothing more than two. You either use Ma Yue to get rid of the general or use Ma Yue to get rid of Ma Yue. No matter who wins in the end, it will be beneficial to the court."

Guo Tai said: "In other words, our army shouldn't attack?"

"No." Li Le shook his head and said, "If Ma Yue did not send troops to attack Bingzhou, our army would probably suffer a loss in the northern expedition. But now Ma Yue's army is out, and the rear is empty. If the general leads his army to attack suddenly, he will be able to pacify Hetao in one fell swoop! Ma Yue will be in chaos when he hears the news. With Ding Yuan's ability, he will be able to follow and pursue, and then Ma Yue will be defeated."

Hu Cai said: "In this way, our army can easily occupy Hetao. The emperor must fulfill his promise, issue an edict to reset Shuozhou, and then entrust the general to be the governor of Shuozhou. Otherwise, he can start all the horse-striking army and cross the inner Great Wall and hit the three auxiliary guards of the capital."

Li Ledao: "If the general is unwilling to surrender to others, he will have a battle with the horse butcher sooner or later. It is better to fight early than to fight late."

Hu Cai said: "Please make a decision by the general."

Guo Tai’s eyes flashed, and after a while, he began to slap the table and said in a deep voice: "My intention has been decided, and we will raise an army in three days!"

Meiji, Guotu’s big tent.

"Huh?" Gao Shun said solemnly, "The whole army sets out and sets an ambush at the water source two hundred miles north of Kucha City!"

"Not bad!" Guo Tu said in a deep voice, "This battle is a big attack on Ding Yuan, and it is a real thing to lose Qin Hu without any hesitation, and it is a real thing to wrap the people of the county into the Hetao!"

Gao Shun hit the juncture and said, "This is the fate."

Guo Tu said: "The lord took Hetao himself, first destroyed the Xiongnu, then pacified the Yuezhi, and slaughtered Hu Yuandun Juyan. After that, Dong Zhuo and other four armies offered to attack the lord. It can be said that the Han people who originally lived in Hetao all avoided Shangjun. Nine out of ten houses were empty, and one hundred were not left."

Gao Shun said: "Yes."

Guo Tu said, "The main focus of the people is the population. The population is large and the money and food are strong. Only when the money and food are strong can the army and horses sweep the world. Although the lord now owns Hetao and has a fertile land of thousands of miles, he can rule only 50,000 people, and most of them are women and children. How can he accomplish things?"

Gao Shun said: "But, Mr. Guo really dares to send troops?"

"Of course Mr. Guo didn't dare, so the lord had to raise his courage for him and mobilize troops to act as a large-scale attack on Ding Yuan. In fact, in addition to the general's 800-stalking camp, the lord's elite army was indeed dispatched!" Guo Tu said this, his eyes were cold and he said in a voice, "What's more, there is another more important reason that prompted Mr. Guo to send troops."

"Hmm?" Gao Shunning said, "A more important factor?"

Guo Tu said: "If you are a person, you will have greed, and Guo Tai is no exception! According to the news sent back by the secret spies lurking in Luoyang, the emperor has secretly ordered Guo Tai to attack Hetao in the north. As long as Guo Tai can capture Hetao, the court will reset Shuozhou and grant Guo Tai the governor of Shuozhou. The general thinks that Guo Tai can resist such temptation?"

Gao Shun nodded silently, thought for a moment and said with concern: "But Guo Tai has more than 20,000 elite cavalry soldiers, and the last general has only 800 elite soldiers. Including Wuhuan's young and strong men, there are only three or four thousand. The difference in the strength of the two armies is too great. Even if you use a surprise attack strategy, it is probably difficult to defeat Guo Tai's Qin Hu army."

Guo Tu smiled and said, "Don't worry, General Xu Chu's 10,000 cavalry will be rushed back to Meiji soon."

Gao Shun said in a deep voice: "Hmm? General Xu Chu's 10,000 cavalry!"

"Report~~" As soon as Gao Shun finished speaking, a junior school walked into the tent and said loudly, "General Xu Chu led two thousand iron cavalry, and Yuezhi had returned to Meiji from nine thousand cavalry."

"General, look," Guo Tu laughed, "Isn't General Xu Chu back now, hahaha."

Lishi, the Han army camp.

"It's really a mistake." Jia Xu said annoyed, "I didn't expect that the emperor actually transferred 6,000 elite soldiers."

"As the saying goes, a wise man will have a mistake, and there is no need to worry about Wenhe." Ma Yue said, "However, our army's combat plan needs to be adjusted accordingly."

"What the lord said is very true." Jia Xu nodded, "Originally, he hoped to use these 8,000 elite soldiers to deal with Ding Yuan and Han Fu's army in Taiyuan County for ten days and half a month. Now there are only 2,000 elite soldiers left. This plan must be cancelled. The suspect soldiers set up in the West Mountain can be hidden for a while, but they cannot be hidden for too long. In a few days, the veteran Ding Yuan will see the trick."

Ma Yue frowned and said, "If Taiyuan can attract Ding Yuan and Han Fu's army, Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang will be able to drive at least 30,000 people from Yanmen and Shangdang counties to cross the river. Now it seems that this goal cannot be achieved at all! The two cavalrymen must retreat immediately, especially Zhou Cang, which has been penetrated into Shangdang for hundreds of miles. If Ding Yuan comes to his senses, he may be cut off by the Bingzhou army!"

Jia Xu said: "It is indeed a pity that we cannot abduct tens of thousands of people from Bingzhou, but the real goal of our army is Qin Hu. As long as we can annex Qin Hu in one fell swoop, the lord can get at least 100,000 people from Shangjun! Compared with the prefectures and counties in the Central Plains, this 100,000 population is of little importance, but it is of great significance to the lord."

"Well." Ma Yue said immediately, "Come."

Two personal soldiers responded and jumped in front of them solemnly.

Ma Yue said: "Quick horse notify Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang to return to Meiji immediately, and there must be no mistakes. Then he will send a command to Ju Tu, asking him to lead the scout camp to seize the Wild Bison Ferry, and the general led the army to arrive later."

Jinyang, the meeting hall of the Bingzhou Governor's Office.

Zhang He clasped his fists and said loudly: "The last general Zhang He, at the order of Lord Han, led 5,000 light cavalry to help the battle. Lord Han and the prefect of Bohai, Yuan Shao, personally led an army of 20,000 and then arrived."

Ding Yuan said: "Thank you for your hard work, let's go to the seat."

"Sir Xie."

"Report~~"

Zhang He thanked Ding Yuan. As soon as he entered the seat, a small school hurried in and knelt down and reported urgently: "Sir, Yanmen urgently."

"speak."

"Pei Yuanshao led 5,000 cavalry to stay at the Yanmen border for three days and suddenly withdrew early this morning."

"Oh?" Ding Yuan frowned, "Pei Yuanshao withdrew his troops?"

Lu Bu on the side echoed: "This must be handled properly by his adoptive father. In addition, the reinforcements from Jizhou arrived in time. Seeing that there was no way to take advantage of the situation, Ma Butcher Ma had to withdraw his troops back to Hetao in shame, haha."

"Report~~"

Before Lu Bu finished speaking, a junior school rushed in and knelt down and reported urgently: "Shangdang reported urgently!"

"speak."

"Zhou Cang's troops surrounded Huguan, but they were not as good as siege, but suddenly withdrew last night."

"What?" Ding Yuan's brows became more and more tight, and he said in a narrow voice, "Zhou Cang has also withdrawn his troops!"

Zhang He, who was standing on the solemn side, couldn't help but ask: "Have Ma Yuejun ever robbed Yanmen and the people of Shangdang?"

Both primary schools shook their heads and said, "No, Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cangjun arrived in Yanmen and Shangdang, and did not violate the people."
