Chapter 157 Exploded Youzhou

But at this moment, there was an explosion in Youzhou. The Northern Huns finally took action, and the first move was Wang Zhao.

The situation in Youzhou in the north is getting worse and worse. The remnants of East Xianbei and Central Xianbei are suspected of completing the merger. With the help of the Northern Xiongnu, they annexed most of Karasuma's strength, and then entered Youzhou from Jundu Mountain. .

What's even more incredible is that the Northern Huns also sent people to contact Goryeo. Goryeo, which had already begun to retreat slowly, immediately began to counterattack.

The situation that had been gradually improving collapsed instantly, and Cao Shen was shocked when he learned the news.

Fortunately, the army led by Wei Qing came to Changping to defend in time. Xianbei had already approached the Youzhou administrative center. The two sides were only a hundred miles away. If Xianbei were allowed to break through, the entire territory of Youzhou would fall in an instant.

This made Cao Shen relieved. He was assured of Wei Qing's ability. With Wei Qing here, even if Changping's city defense capability was not strong, Xianbei would not be able to enter Youzhou.

However, Cao Shen knew very well that the reason why Xianbei had not attacked Changping was entirely because Xianbei had not yet completely digested the annexed Wuwan and other barbarian tribes.

Within a month at the latest, Xianbei will definitely clean up its internal reserves and build up strength, and head south to Youzhou again in one go.

He and Wei Qing were both to blame for actually taking advantage of Youzhou's empty defense to directly approach such a place.

They were preoccupied with dealing with the Korean army coming from the northeast, and completely ignored the wolf cubs on the grassland.

"Send an order to the reinforcements on the lord's side and ask them to rush to Changping immediately. There must be no mistakes in Changping!" Cao Shen took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down to start giving orders.

Changping Plain was originally Youzhou's defense line against the Hu people, but the city wall was not high. There was a lot of food and war materials stored in the city for a long time, and Xianbei must not be allowed to succeed.

Once it is defeated by Xianbei, Xianbei will have a solid basis for advancing and retreating. And once Changping is captured, the current territory of Youzhou will definitely be taken advantage of by the Hu people. Maybe most of Youzhou will be directly occupied by the Hu people.

When Guo Jia, who was on his way to Youzhou, received this information, he understood it instantly.

"Did the Northern Huns take action?" Guo Jia quickly picked up a piece of paper and activated his spiritual talent.

Guo Jia, the realm of literature and art: knowing destiny.

Military quality [Major]: Tactics S-, Usage A, Strategy A+.

Literary quality: Administration B, Agriculture C, Commerce C, Culture C, Public Security C
Spiritual talent: Spell: subjective judgment, affecting reality.When the probability of an event occurring is [-] in [-], one of the outcomes can be made inevitable (unintentional behavior).It can also be used proactively, but the more important the matter asserted, the greater the backlash.

After a long time, Guo Jia breathed a sigh of relief. He already knew the effect of his spiritual talent clearly. It seemed that the Northern Huns were really preparing to take action against Youzhou.

Judging from the report, Xianbei's maximum military strength this time is only 20, including surrendered troops from various tribes, and their combat effectiveness is worrying. Xianbei's main army has been severely damaged twice by their Youzhou border guards. The elite combat strength will probably not exceed [-].

It should be the Northern Huns who took action, but why did they only have such a small number of troops? It should be that the Northern Huns mixed some sand into Xianbei to serve as the backbone. At most, they sent a few elite troops to support like last time.

"Haha, people's hearts are not as strong as snakes swallowing elephants. It's probably just a few dragon generals. No matter how many there are, Xianbei is not stupid enough to see it." Guo Jia sneered.

As long as there was no massive invasion by the Northern Huns, it wouldn't be a problem, and it was Guo Jia's turn to take the credit. "Jundu Mountain... is such a good place!"

Based on the intelligence, Guo Jia quickly found a problem with Xianbei, which was Juyong Pass, the Jundu Mountain Pass that had been occupied by Xianbei.

As long as the Hu people are not stupid, they will never go anywhere else.

Juyong Pass has been opened, and the only remaining defense line in Youzhou is Changping. Once Changping falls, there will no longer be a barrier for Youzhou south of the Great Wall. Even if Cao Shen defeats the Goryeo army and returns to the dynasty, the entire Youzhou will almost become a human being. Purgatory.

Moreover, the layout of Youzhou is very reasonable. If the Hu people want to do whatever they want in Youzhou, they must occupy Changping.

First, Changping is just an ordinary city, but it is the grain reserve base of Juyongguan. A large amount of grain in Youzhou is stored here, ready to provide food security for the fight against the Hu people, and food is precisely the biggest temptation for the Hu people.

Second, Changping is not specially reinforced like the Great Wall and other big cities, so it is very difficult to attack Changping.

Third, if Xianbei has contact with Goryeo, breaking through Changping and cutting off the northern border will be almost a win-win situation for Xianbei and Goryeo, and the only loser is Youzhou.

In the past, Guo Jia might have been helpless and could only hold on. After all, he was not from Youzhou, and he was not even familiar with the terrain. The victory or defeat has nothing to do with him.

The wise man has always made extensions based on the existing information. Now it would be strange if the information he had at hand could help him deal with Xianbei.

But before setting off, he had already asked Liu Hua for a map of Youzhou. He was familiar with the various mountains, rivers and rivers in Youzhou.

Guo Jia, who had mastered the geographical environment, thought of a way to break the situation in just a moment. When Juyong Pass was opened, the influx of Hu people was unstoppable. But if Juyong Pass was sealed, wouldn't the Hu people become the turtles in the urn?

You must know that Juyongguan is not a single pass, it is a complete defense system composed of a set of gates, passes, walls, and mountains.

Therefore, in addition to being able to pass the Juyong Pass, they can completely cross the Liao River from Tianjin and counterattack Juyong Pass from the north of Juyong Pass, cutting off Xianbei's logistical supplies.

In less than a week, Xianbei's own internal problems will definitely break out. By that time, internal strife will spread everywhere, and the Hu people without food will definitely be in a mess, which can be easily eliminated.

In this way, Changping serves as a bait to fix all the barbarians around, so the destructive power of Xianbei entering Youzhou can be minimized. All that is left is to take away these barbarians in one wave, and then use these captives to rebuild Youzhou. And Northeast is the best.

"Let me think about it, what troops can be mobilized near Youzhou..."

"Wei Qing's legion has probably arrived in Changping. The other Youzhou legions have also made arrangements. It seems that only our support army can be mobilized. The Lord said that if there are any tasks, they can be handed over to Su Lie, Jia Fu, and Cen Peng. , I think my lord’s taste is not bad.”

Guo Jia immediately began to make arrangements. He was quite confident about this kind of war, which had already chosen the battlefield and was waiting for him to think of a solution. If it were the Northern Huns, he might still be worried.

But Xianbei, who had been mixed with sand by the Northern Huns, was nothing more than a group of ants whose strength had been strengthened. The rest for him was just waiting.

As long as Wei Qing is in place, everything else will be a matter of course. Compared to Xianbei, Guo Jia is actually more worried about Goryeo in the north.
