Compared to Hulao Pass, the situation at Xue Rengui's Hu Pass is much better!
Originally, Xue Rengui used 30,000 troops to fight against Gongsun Zan and Yuan Chonghuan's 80,000 troops. However, Xue Rengui attacked decisively and knocked out the opponent's vanguard in one fell swoop, which also reduced the opponent's strength to 60,000.
Wei Qing had fought several battles with generals in Hulao Pass, but Xue Rengui just defended in Hu Pass. After all, the strongest Ran Min on Xue Rengui's side was not Yuan Hong's opponent, so Xue Rengui would not be looking for trouble.
.
No matter how much provocation Yuan Chonghuan ordered people outside, Xue Rengui just ignored them. Anyway, if you have the ability, attack him, but if you want me to get out, there is no way!
Yuan Chonghuan tried to attack the key several times, but under the joint defense of Xue Rengui and Lian Po, Huguan was like a thorny hedgehog, and Yuan Chonghuan and Gongsun Zan were unable to do anything.
Moreover, Xue Rengui and Hou Yi were able to snipe each other, so even masters like Yuan Hong and Gong Sun Yang would not dare to enter the hiding range easily, let alone others.
"Fu Cunshen, I order you to lead 40,000 troops and support Hulao Pass in five days!" While thinking about the situation of merging the two places, Li Xiang was selecting suitable generals below.
Now Su Lie has been appointed as the governor of Liangzhou and has gone to take office. When he left, he also took a group of generals with him.
Of course, Yang Xuangan also became the deputy governor of Liangzhou as originally agreed. This was the condition for Li Xiang to agree to Yang Xuangan. Li Xiang would not make a mistake here. For the sake of Yang Xuangan, it was not worth Li Xiang's doing. After all,
If Li Xiang broke his trust with Yang Xuangan, and if this matter spread, who would be willing to take refuge in Li Xiang again.
Besides, Yang Xuangan's contribution is indeed not insignificant. After burning Yang Jian's grain and fodder, leading troops to create chaos in Chang'an, and opening the city gate, after all these achievements, it is not unacceptable to give him the position of deputy governor.
At the same time as Yang Xuangan, Li Keyong took up the position of deputy governor of Liangzhou. This was Li Xiang's precautionary measure. Su Lie was pressing down on him and Li Keyong was watching beside him, even though Li Xiang's loyalty to Yang Xuangan existed.
I am confused, but I am confident that nothing will happen to Yang Xuangan.
In addition, after the captured Sui generals surrender, especially those hard-core ones, Li Xiang plans to select a few more to join Su Lie's men. He believes that these Sui generals can also play a role for Yang Xuangan.
The role of checks and balances.
Bai Qi was also appointed as the governor of Yongzhou. However, although Bai Qi was still in Chang'an, Li Xiang did not intend to use Bai Qi this time.
As one of the main generals in this battle, Bai Qi's contribution was enough. Two of the three princes in Liangzhou were destroyed by Bai Qi. Even the attack on Chang'an also contributed a lot.
What's more, we can't just leave everything to those god-level commanders whenever there is a war. We have to give some opportunities to those below.
"The last general takes orders!" Knowing that his opportunity had come, Fu Cunxen suppressed the surprise in his heart and immediately stepped out of the queue to answer.
"Jia Fu, Kua Fu, Luo Ren, Zhao Yun, Luo Cheng, Li Guang, Ma Wu, and Ma Cheng temporarily join your command and accompany the army to support Hulao Pass!"
"The last general takes orders!" Several high-ranking officers and generals came out together and said.
"Guo Ziyi, you are the chief general, Ma Yuan, and Ju Yi are the deputy generals. With an order of 30,000 men, we will go out of the Yellow River to support Huguan. Ma Kui and Ma Xiong will temporarily come under your command to obey your orders!"
After Guo Ziyi was defeated at the hands of Yang Su and was demoted, he performed exceptionally well in the Battle of Chang'an and made considerable contributions. Especially the death of Yang Jian made him rise to the top.
"The last general takes command!"
It's not that Li Xiang doesn't want to send a divine general to Guo Ziyi, it's just that there is no suitable candidate for the time being.
Now in Chang'an, during the Battle of Chang'an, Li Xiang was surrounded by four great generals: Xing Tian, Jiang Song, Jia Fu, and Pei Yuanqing.
But now, among the four, Xing Tian wants to be by his side. Yang Jian has been in control of Guanzhong for many years, and Chang'an has just been captured. Who knows if there are any die-hards of Yang Jian in Chang'an City, in case the other party wants to
What kind of tricks are you playing to the death? Sometimes it’s better to be cautious!
As for Jia Fu, who was transferred to Fu Cunshen's side, he had no choice but to face many enemy generals in the direction of Hulao Pass. Pei Yuanqing was injured, and the side effects of his skills had not yet passed.
But he is still weak, so let him cultivate for a while!
As for the last Jiang Song, Li Xiang temporarily transferred him to Hezhou. Since the Battle of Yongliang, too many elite soldiers and generals were transferred from the direction of Binghe. As soon as the Battle of Chang'an ended, Li Xiang transferred Jiang Song there.
, so as not to cause any problems there.
Moreover, after the Battle of Chang'an, Li Xiang was finally able to devote himself to understanding the situation in the grassland. He could also stir things up when necessary. Li Xiang would not let any overlord of the grassland easily unify the grassland.
Just like the current situation, the grassland is distributed into several forces, which is better. If we can bring the grassland to complete the unification, then the threat of the grassland to the Central Plains will be too great!
Facing a unified grassland, it often requires a unified Central Plains regime to compete. With the current situation in which the Central Plains princes are fragmented, once the grassland is unified, it will be easy to be defeated by each other. At that time, the Central Plains can truly be defeated.
Trouble!
According to the intelligence obtained by Li Xiang, Temujin's offensive is now quite fierce. Even if East and West Xianbei join forces, they are no match for Temujin.
This time, Temujin ordered Murong Ke to lead a group of troops to defend Tuoba Tao in eastern Xianbei. Temujin himself led another group of troops to attack Yelu Abaoji in west Xianbei. Temujin
Try to use this tactic of defending from the east and attacking from the west to defeat one side as quickly as possible, and then turn around to deal with the other side.
Temujin's lineup this time was quite luxurious, including Muhuali, Gesuwen, Shatushe, Zhebie, Monlik, Subotai, Huoerchi, Yilugai, etc., and they won consecutive battles along the way.
So far, Yelu Abaoji has lost more than half of its pasture.
It was under this situation that Li Xiang wanted to intervene in the grassland affairs.
After all, Nurhachi is still recovering from the loss of vitality after the grassland war. In that battle, he was indeed beaten too badly. Before he recovers to a certain condition, the commander-in-chief will not easily intervene in Temujin's battle. If so
, Temujin destroyed Yelu Abaoji during this period, and then turned around and eliminated Tuoba Tao.
Then, when Temujin confronts Nurhaci again, no matter whether Nurhachi has recovered his strength at that time, he will definitely end up with a failure.
If this script is followed, Temujin can really unify the grasslands. Therefore, Li Xiang must find a way to add some traffic jams.
It so happened that among the female generals of the Yang family, there happened to be a princess from Western Xianbei. It was not difficult to use her to contact Yelu Abaoji. Li Xiang had already had some preliminary ideas before and handed them over to Zhang Yi for implementation.
Although the two sides fought several times during the Grassland War, each side also caused considerable damage to the other. Moreover, within Yelu Abaoji's power group, Wanyan Wu Qimai regarded Li Xiang as his mortal enemy. But as an adult
There are so many grudges and grudges in the human world, but tangible benefits are more attractive!
