Chu Huan was discussing a great plan with Pei Ji when he suddenly heard a report from outside: "Sign up to the King, General Wei is asking to see you!"

Chu Huan was a little surprised when he heard that Wei Tianqing had arrived. He knew that Wei Tianqing should be on the front line less than twenty miles away from Yanshan Mountain with Lang Wazi at this moment. Will return without permission.

When Wei Tianqing came in, he looked in a hurry. After meeting Chu Huan and Pei Ji, Chu Huan asked, "General Wei, how is the situation at Yanshan Mountain? Is there any movement?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, after the Liaodong cavalry retreated to the foot of Yanshan Mountain, they have not been seen going up the mountain." Wei Tianqing said: "It's just that someone knows their specific situation better than the general."

"What do you mean?"

Wei Tianqing showed a strange smile, and said softly, "Your Majesty, I brought you a present back." Without waiting for Chu Huan to say more, he turned around and shouted outside the courtyard, "Bring it here."

Soon, two tall and burly warriors pushed a man over. The man was wearing armor, but his head was covered with a black cloth covering his entire head, and his hands were tied behind his back.

Chu Huan frowned at first, but after looking at the armor a few times, his eyes showed surprise, but Wei Tianqing had already passed by, and raised his hand to take off the black cloth bag covering the man's head.

"Kou Ying?" Chu Huan was a little surprised when he saw the man's face clearly.

It was Kou Ying who was bound. It seemed that he had been covered by the black cloth bag for a long time. When the black cloth cover was taken off suddenly, he seemed not quite used to it. After blinking his eyes, Wei Tianqing had already said: "My lord, this person With dozens of people, we arrived at our camp in the middle of the night, and said that we wanted to see the king, but the general finally found out that this is the Liaodong army leader Kou Ying...!"

At this time, Kou Ying's eyes had adjusted, and his expression looked quite tired and haggard. When he saw Chu Huan clearly, he saw that Chu Huan had pulled out a dagger from his body and was walking towards him quickly.

Kou Ying felt a chill in her heart.

In the Huangling battle, the Liaodong Army suffered heavy losses, but the Northwest Army also suffered a lot of casualties. He was the general of Liaodong, and now he was tied up in front of Chu Huan. It seemed that Chu Huan wanted to kill himself.

He was very annoyed, and was about to speak, but Chu Huan had already turned around behind him, and with a quick strike, he cut the rope binding Kou Ying's hands with one blow, and then threw the dagger aside, before Kou Ying could react , had already cupped his hands to Kou Ying and said: "General Kou, the subordinates don't know how to handle things, they offended you so much, Chu Huan is here to apologize to you on their behalf." But it was a deep bow.

Such a person as Wei Tianqing immediately understood what Chu Huan was thinking, and he cupped his hands to Kou Ying and said, "General Kou, you are a fierce tiger. Previously, you could only restrain the tiger so as not to be hurt by the tiger. If you offend me, please forgive me."

He is indeed a person from the rivers and lakes, and this sentence is extremely appropriate. Not only did he easily step down, but it also gave Kou Ying a great deal of face.

Kou Ying has seen a lot of people's sophistication, so she naturally knows that Chu Huan is trying to buy people's hearts, but after all, the other party is the powerful Northwest Chu King, and now she looks like a bereaved dog. Chu Huan's doing this is also giving herself enough In order to save face, he hurriedly supported Chu Huan's arms, and sighed: "King Chu, I really dare not be a defeated general."

"General Kou is serious." Chu Huan took Kou Ying's arm very affectionately and sat down beside him, and then told Wei Tianqing: "General Wei, please go down and hold a banquet to welcome General Kou and the brothers.. ...!"

Wei Tianqing agreed, and was about to go down when Kou Ying hurriedly said, "Wait a minute!"

Chu Huan asked with a smile, "Does General Kou need anything else?"

Kou Ying hesitated for a moment, and finally leaned close to Chu Huan's ear, whispered something, Chu Huan's expression became serious, and he raised his head and asked Wei Tianqing: "General Wei, General Kou is here, does anyone else know? "

Wei Tianqing immediately said: "The last general didn't make it public, not many people know about it, and there are only three or four people who know the identity of General Kou."

"Immediately tell those who know about this matter, block all news, and don't let anyone know that General Kou has arrived at our place." Chu Huan said solemnly: "Also, send someone to prepare a residence and clothes for General Kou immediately. There must be no mistakes."

"The last will obey."

Then Chu Huan said to Kou Ying with a smile: "Don't worry, General Kou, everything will be done according to your instructions, and this matter will never be leaked to the outside world." General!"

With a smile on his face, Pei Ji cupped his hands slightly to Kou Ying. Kou Ying got up immediately and returned the courtesy, "Kou Ying has seen the general!"

"When the general comes, the Northwest Army is like a tiger with wings added. From then on, it can sweep the world." Pei Ji laughed.

"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it." Kou Ying smiled wryly: "In the battle of Huangling, the army was defeated, it is really...!"

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "General Kou doesn't need to say that. If General Kou didn't want to rescue the trapped soldiers and horses in Huangling, he wouldn't be able to take advantage of the geographical advantage. Otherwise, we don't know who will win and who will lose. , the smoke disappeared, from now on, I hope General Kou can help this king. Now the world is in turmoil, swords and soldiers are everywhere, and it is the people of the Li people who are suffering. The sooner the disputes in the world end, the sooner the people will be able to live and work in peace and contentment. With the help of the generals, this king believes that the world will soon be stable."

Kou Ying no longer had feelings for Chu Huan. She felt that although this young man was young, he was experienced and quick-witted. He was indeed a hero. No hesitation."

Both sides are smart people. Although Chu Huan guessed that Kou Ying had nowhere to go, he would go to him, but the two sides are united at this time, and what they give to each other is beneficial.

As Kou Ying expected, Chu Huan's conquest of Liaodong is the general trend, but the Northwest Army still doesn't know itself and the enemy in Liaodong. Now Kou Ying suddenly came to vote. He is a veteran of Liaodong and knows the situation of Liaodong very well. Under such circumstances, it can be said that it will be twice the result with half the effort to conquer Liaodong.

However, Chu Huan had already held Kou Ying's hand, laughed happily, and then said in a low voice: "General Kou is worried that if Mo Wuyi finds out his whereabouts, it will hurt your family?"

"Mo Wuyi is cruel and merciless, as long as he finds an excuse, he will not show mercy."

Chu Huan said solemnly: "General Kou, to calm the world and let the people settle down as soon as possible, we must rely on General Kou's help, but if General Kou is worried about his family, it will definitely be affected. This king always makes decisions quickly. There is a brother who is familiar with many heroes in the rivers and lakes, and there are many heroes in Liaodong. harm."

Kou Ying was naturally very concerned about his family members in Liaodong. One of the important reasons for going to Chu Huan was that he hoped that one day he could use Chu Huan's strength to rescue his family. However, he never thought that Chu Huan would be so straightforward As soon as they met, they offered to send someone to rescue their family members. Although they knew that Chu Huan was trying to win people's hearts, Kou Ying was very grateful and said in a trembling voice, "King Chu, this...! "

"General, Qiu Ruxue is still in Wuping Mansion, you can send someone to entrust this matter to him." Chu Huan looked at Pei Ji: "Tell Qiu Ruxue, as long as you can save General Kou's family, no matter how much it costs Silver is not a problem."

Pei Ji nodded and said, "The final general will immediately send someone to find Qiu Ruxue."

"Old general, you look very tired, and you should take a good rest for a while." Chu Huan said with a smile: "The general has already started to plan the conquest of Liaodong, and I will invite you to prepare together when the time comes."

Kou Ying immediately said: "Dare not to obey orders!"

The arrival of Kou Ying really cheered Chu Huan. Although Chu Huan also doubted whether Kou Ying's defection was sincere, but after analyzing it with Pei Ji, he felt that the defection of Kou Ying and others was not false. There is indeed no way out.

In the next few days, Kou Ying used concrete actions to prove that she had defected, and led Qi Sheng and other Liaodong generals who had defected, and began to draw a map of Liaodong.

Naturally, this is not a simple map. It not only fully outlines the terrain of Liaodong, but also shows the checkpoints, military camps, cities, and granaries in Liaodong. After explaining in detail, Chu Huan and Pei Ji's confidence increased greatly after receiving the information provided by Kou Ying.

In addition, although Kou Ying only brought dozens of people to vote, these people still have connections in Liaodong, and they have a very clear understanding of the situation in Liaodong. Chu Huan also knew from Kou Ying that even if Mo Wuyi won The control of Liaodong, but it is almost impossible to integrate the forces of Liaodong in a short period of time. Even many opposition forces in Liaodong did not dare to act rashly because of the prestige of Chilian Electricity, but once they learned that Chilian Electricity No, as long as they are persuaded and provoked, it is very likely that these forces will turn against each other.

Prior to this, Chu Huan and Pei Ji had already discussed two ways to attack Liaodong. One was to directly attack Yanshan and open up the northern line of the Yanshan passage, and the other was to go south to take the lead in attacking Hebei, and then bypass Fuhai to attack Liaodong.

Originally, the two paths had their own advantages and disadvantages, but the Liaodong information brought by Kou Ying made the strategy of the Northwest Army begin to lean towards the southern line.

For Chu Huan, to make the world peaceful, of course Liaodong must fight, but Tianmendao and Qingtianwang also have to fight.

Hebei is an important grain-producing area. It was the largest granary in the north during the Qin Empire era. Qingtian King is obviously different from Tianmen Dao. Although Tianmen Dao has a large number of people and great power, they plunder everywhere, only destroying but not producing. On the contrary, it is the Hebei area controlled by King Qingtian. King Qingtian regards Hebei as his base and has formed an independent system in Hebei. Although there are still many cases of looting the people, overall, the production of Hebei has not suffered seriously. In this war-torn era, it is still a big granary.

Being able to conquer Hebei means that if there is a huge granary, Chu Huan's strength will increase by leaps and bounds. Compared with the increasingly depleted grain in the Jinling warehouse, Chu Huan is more interested in Hebei, which can produce grain for a long time.

There is no doubt that the present is indeed an excellent opportunity to attack Hebei.

Judging from what Kou Ying learned, if the Northwest Army concentrates its forces to attack Liaodong from the northern line at this time, under the pressure of the Northwest Army, the upper and lower levels of Liaodong may actually be united, which will help Mo Wuyi more easily To control the situation in Liaodong, on the contrary, the Northwest Army did not give it to attack Liaodong. Mo Wuyi's prestige was not enough for him to quickly control Liaodong. In addition, the local forces in Liaodong have always had aversion to foreign forces like Mo Wuyi. The army temporarily gave Liaodong an environment that is not tight and not loose, which makes it easier for Liaodong to undergo sudden changes. During this period, various means such as bribery and differentiation can be used to plunge Liaodong into a greater crisis, thereby further weakening Liaodong. Strength.

On the other hand, if the Northwest Army attacks Liaodong with all its strength, once Liaodong is united, the Northwest Army will not be able to capture Liaodong in a short period of time. Not only will the Northwest Army severely deplete resources in Liaodong, but it will also give Qingtian King of Hebei a chance to cultivate and thrive. The Northwest Army mired in the quagmire of Liaodong may not have the energy to open up a second battlefield and turn around to deal with King Qingtian of Hebei, which would give King Qingtian the possibility of becoming bigger.

The southern line strategy can not only take the opportunity to attack the Qingtianwang forces in Hebei, but also take this opportunity to quickly digest Hujin Road. A large area of ​​Hujin Road is between Hebei and Hexi. On the front line, as long as the Northwest Army enters Hujin Road, it will not be difficult to digest Hujin and become a force in the Northwest system.

After waiting for a few days for the soldiers and horses who retreated to the foot of Yanshan Mountain, Mo Wuyi finally ordered these soldiers to mount the mountain, but before they went up the mountain, they were attacked by the Northwest Army.

Kou Ying was well aware of the situation in Liaodong, and it also made Chu Huan understand that the defeated soldiers at the foot of Yanshan Mountain had actually fallen into a desperate situation without food and water. Guessing that those defeated soldiers had reached the lowest point of physical fitness and energy, the Northwest Army suddenly launched a night attack. The Liaodong Army was caught off guard. There were countless casualties overnight. When they were about to fight to the death, the Northwest Army quickly withdrew After leaving the battlefield, it was precisely because of this night attack that Mo Wuyi immediately ordered these routs to go up the mountain.

In fact, the number of Liaodong cavalry who returned to Yanshan was no more than two or three thousand. They lost not only elite cavalry, but also countless horses.

Most of these war horses are produced in Liaodong, some of them are barbarian horses looted from the grasslands, and there are even a few Korean horses, but no matter what kind of horses, they can be incorporated into the war horses of the Liaodong Cavalry Army. One out of a hundred horses is at least a carefully selected horse, and a large number of these horses have also fallen into the hands of the Northwest Army.

Whether it was the Battle of Wuping Mansion or the Battle of Huangling, the Northwest Army was facing the enemy's cavalry corps. The results of the battle also benefited a lot. Adding up the two battles, the number of horses captured has reached [-] to [-]. Such a number is undoubtedly an astronomical figure for the Central Plains where horses are scarce.

In fact, after the Battle of Huangling, the Northwest Cavalry has become the well-deserved First Cavalry Corps of the Central Plains!
