Chapter 1262 Secret Rescue

The next morning, Li Ye listened to the report from Zhang Guangsheng, the deputy governor of Yunzhou, "According to His Highness's arrangement, I led 10,000 troops to lay an ambush at Juyong Pass. However, the Uighurs were very cunning and sent hundreds of sentry cavalry into the canyon to check.

They discovered the ambush."

It was Li Ye's decision to ambush the enemy in the Juyongguan Canyon. Taking advantage of the characteristics of the north and south passes of Juyongguan to set up an ambush, even if the enemy could not be completely wiped out, it could still severely damage the enemy. However, it was within Li Ye's acceptable range to be seen through by the enemy.

Inside, his ultimate goal is to force the Uighurs into Feihuxing, where is the final battlefield to annihilate the Uighurs.

Li Ye waved his hand and smiled and said: "Being seen through by the enemy is not a failure. Your mission is to block Juyong Pass and prevent the enemy from escaping from Juyong Pass. Being discovered by the enemy is also a kind of shock. From this point of view, your mission is also

Completely completed.”

"I feel ashamed of my humble position. The ambush is not in place!"

Li Ye smiled and said: "I named you to lead the troops to capture Juyong Pass for another purpose. You turn around and hand over the army to Deputy Commander Guo, then put on civilian uniform and serve as the governor of Youzhou."

"ah!"

Zhang Guangsheng was not prepared and was stunned.

Li Ye explained with a smile: "Logically, the appointment power of the governor lies with the Zhengshitang. The Zhengshitang appoints the governors of various states. I appoint various interview envoys or appeasement envoys. However, Youzhou is special and has been separated from the imperial court for too long. From Anlu

Since the Yuan Dynasty, the imperial court can no longer control Youzhou, and there are too many Hu people in Youzhou, which is difficult to manage. I have thought about it repeatedly and think you are the most suitable. You have been in Yunzhou for many years and are good at handling conflicts between Hu and Han, so I decided to let you serve as the governor of Youzhou.

The governor of the state and the Political Affairs Hall also agreed."

Zhang Guangsheng also reacted and quickly expressed his position: "In this humble position, I will do my best to govern Youzhou for His Highness and the imperial court."

Li Ye nodded, "The official appointment from the imperial court will be later, but from now on, you will be the governor of Youzhou."

Youzhou is currently under military control. Li Ye ordered Sima Zhao Zhen to take Zhang Guangsheng to hand over power, and gave him 500 soldiers to assist in public security.

At this time, a soldier came to report, "Deputy Commander Guo wants to see you!"

Li Ye nodded and smiled: "Invite him in!"

In the Battle of Juma River, Li Ye finally saw what it means to be old and spicy. Guo Ziyi dug two deep ditches along the enemy's pontoon bridge. It was a stroke of genius. Tens of thousands of Huihe and Fan Yang troops were trapped by the two deep ditches.

died.

After a moment, Guo Ziyi hurriedly walked in, cupped his fists and saluted, "See you, Your Highness!"

"Old General, please take a seat!"

Li Ye asked Guo Ziyi to sit down and asked with a smile: "What's the latest news?"

Guo Ziyi nodded, "Reporting to Your Highness, there are two latest news. The first news is from Yizhou. The Uighur army entered Feihuxing yesterday afternoon. Lei Wanchun led 15,000 soldiers also entered Feihuxing, cutting off

As for the retreat route of the Uighur army, Zhang Yun led 20,000 troops to block the Uighur army in the west."

Li Ye nodded. This was what he expected. They could not go through Juyong Pass, and the Uighur army could only go through Feihuxing.

"Then what?"

"The second piece of news is about Zhu Si. He is now in Jizhou, based in Yuyang County. News came from inside the other party. He now has 30,000 people under his command!"

Li Ye frowned, "How could there be 30,000 troops? He took 5,000 people to escape from Juma River, plus Youzhou evacuated 5,000 people, he should only have 10,000 troops in hand, and the other 20,000 people

Where did it come from?"

"Ten thousand people are the Goguryeo army, led by Wang Siyi, and the other ten thousand people are suspected of being Khitan coalition forces."

Li Ye thought for a moment, "What you said makes sense, but we are bound to win the final battle!"

Guo Ziyi said: "Let me go to Jizhou for the battle!"

Li Ye smiled and asked, "Do you have a plan?"

Guo Ziyi nodded, "To fight Jizhou, we must first capture Pingzhou and block the Liaoxi passage for the Khitans to go south. At the same time, Chen Bing threatened Jizhou so that it would not dare to save Pingzhou. After Pingzhou was pacified, Jizhou was attacked from three directions.

Zhu Si has no way to escape."

Li Ye walked a few steps with his hands behind his back: "The military is not difficult, but the more troublesome are the more than 200,000 Goguryeo people. What suggestions does the old general have?"

Guo Ziyi pondered for a moment and said: "I think it is better to cut off the Liaoxi passage first, and then deal with Zhu Si and the Goguryeo people. Without the intervention of the Khitan people, it will not be so troublesome."

Li Ye pondered for a moment and said: "What if we lure the Khitan army in and then annihilate it in one fell swoop?"

"Your Highness, you cannot start a battlefield in your own home, and with the support of the Khitan army, it will be much more difficult to annihilate the Zhu Si and Goguryeo armies."

Li Ye smiled slightly and said: "It seems you need a warship!"

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, you must send troops by sea to cut off the passage to western Liaoning!"

Li Ye nodded, "I will give you an army of 100,000, and I will support you with kerosene and firearms, and I will leave the rest of the battlefield to you to clean up!"

"In this humble position, I will definitely live up to His Highness's great trust!"

Li Ye then said slowly: "The armies of Zhu Si and the Goguryeo people did not keep prisoners of war, especially the Khitan people!"

"I humbly obey orders!"

After the 90,000-strong Uighur army entered Feihuxing, they did not dare to slow down and continued to march at a faster pace. At the third watch, the 90,000-strong army was finally exhausted and the horses could no longer walk. Dengli Khan had to order to rest in place.

The soldiers unloaded the burdens on their horses one after another, which contained copper coins, cloth and other wealth. Although the soldiers felt sorry for their horses, they came to the Central Plains just to plunder these valuables, so how could they throw them away.

In the busyness, Wang Baofu slowly walked through the crowd, checking the situation around him. Two Uighur soldiers followed him closely. Of course, the Uighurs wanted to prevent him from escaping.

But Wang Baofu knew very well that tonight was his last chance to escape. Once the Huihe army arrived in Feihu County tomorrow, they would find out that they had been deceived, and then he would realize that there was no chance.

Wang Baofu is indeed very familiar with Feihuxing. The place where the Huihe army currently rests is called Goat Cave. There are many large cracks here, some as wide as two feet and some as deep as several miles, but they are all dead ends.

Wang Baofu walked very slowly, but his eyes were fixed on the cliff. At this time, he suddenly noticed a flash of fire on a cliff.

He was overjoyed. This was a signal from his rescuer.

He quickly came to the foot of Huoguang Mountain Cliff, pointed to the crack in front and said to the two surveillance soldiers: "I'll go inside for a while, you guys wait outside!"

The two soldiers had expressionless faces. Wang Baofu also knew it was useless, so he pretended to take off his belt and walked towards the crack.

The crack was pitch black. Wang Baofu held up a torch and walked toward it, but he only took about twenty steps when two soldiers suddenly grabbed his shoulders and prevented him from going any further.

At this moment, two crossbow arrows hit the throats of two soldiers. The two soldiers covered their throats but could not scream and fell to the ground.

A ladder was thrown down from the cliff next to it. Wang Baofu quickly threw the torch on the ground, put it out with his feet, stretched out his hand to climb the ladder, stepped on it, and was slowly pulled up by the people above.
