Chapter 781
Whether to enter the army from the pass of Yinshan Mountain or from the high tower of Yangshan Mountain, everyone has their own reasons, and no unanimous answer has been discussed.

At this time, Ji Chuan said: "Your Majesty, our army can't cross the desert when we attack the Turks this time, and it's also difficult to enter and stay for a long time, so we must win in one battle. I think that if we attack the Turks in an orderly manner, Jieli may flee to Mobei. I The army now does not have the strength that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went to Mobei."

What Ji Chuan said made sense. Right now Li Chongjiu is gathering an army, and the food consumption is dozens of times. If Jieli doesn't fight head-on, and goes around in circles with Zhao Jun in the mountains and deserts, as long as Li Chongjiu returns without success, he will lose.Or Xieli could be more ruthless and give up the power in Monan directly, risking most of the cattle and sheep being frozen to death, and move Khan Ting to Mobei.Then Li Chongjiu can only look at the vast desert and sigh, and there is nothing he can do about it.

Think about when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty destroyed the Xiongnu, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing sent 50 cavalry troops out of Mobei to fight the Xiongnu decisively, and used [-] people as logistics supplies for [-] cavalry.This is why Himekawa said that fighting outside the fortress is different from fighting in the Central Plains. You can't enter and stay for a long time, because the logistics supply can't keep up.

But now Zhao Jun still has an advantage over the time when Huo Wei was the second general, and half of the grassland tribes are on his side.

Li Chongjiu said immediately: "What you say makes sense, but today is different. In the past, we were not familiar with the terrain of the grassland, and logistics supplies had to be transported thousands of miles away. Today, our army has more than [-] troops, and there are fifteen or six cavalry. Besides, with the help of Tuli Khan, we are well aware of the current situation of Turks."

Zhang Xuansu said: "Your Majesty is wise. I think that today is different from the Han-Hungarian War. Although the grasslands are vast, it is not like the Central Plains guarding the city. Our army already has the advantage of cavalry and is familiar with the terrain. However, I think it is vast. In the grasslands and deserts, it is not easy to search for the main force of Xieli, so it is better to send a group of people to cross the pass of Yinshan Mountain, and the other way to go through the high gate of Yangshan Mountain, and the two groups will attack together."

After Zhang Xuansu finished speaking, Li Chongjiu nodded appreciatively, and Yu Shinan also echoed: "When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attacked the Xiongnu, he sent troops to count the routes, divided them into a joint attack, and found the main force of the Huns to fight decisively. If the troops were concentrated all the way, it would probably be useless. And back. If we want to attack the Turks, it is also the best strategy to divide our troops."

The audience proposed to divide the troops, Li Chongjiu nodded immediately, and when he was about to announce the order, someone outside the tent reported: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty, hurry up and report, General Yu Chigong has captured Xiangcheng and wiped out the Turkic General Kang Sumi's troops." More than five thousand people."

Li Chongjiu was overjoyed when he heard that Xiangcheng was Shengle City of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the northern capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, where Tuobagui founded the Xianbei Northern Wei Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, General Yuchigong not only broke through Xiangcheng, but also met Princess Yicheng, Zhang Changxun, and Yuan Junzhang when they marched north. Twenty thousand came to reinforce the northern Han army in Xiangcheng. They were persuaded by General Yuchigong and decided to lead the army Surrender, together with more than [-] Han returnees from the north, they have now arrived at the Chilechuan Grassland together!"

On the vast grassland, Princess Yicheng, Zhang Changxun, and Yuan Junzhang knelt down in front of Li Chongjiu's horse.

Li Chongjiu laughed loudly, jumped off his horse and said, "I have been looking forward to you three for a long time."

Princess Yicheng calmly said: "At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and the people had to leave their homes, or were plundered by the Turks to the outside of the Great Wall. Counting more than ten years, there are as many as one million Han people in the north, who have been bullied and concubine. And the common people, looking forward to His Majesty's teacher is like looking forward to nectar, and we can return to our homeland in this life, it is really the presence of His Majesty's teacher."

Li Chongjiu immediately said: "Your Highness, what are you talking about? We are family members. The Han people outside the Great Wall are our compatriots. We are connected by flesh and blood. How can I see our compatriots being bullied by other races outside. Get up quickly."

Zhang Changxun and Yuan Junzhang were relieved to hear what Li Chongjiu said.Li Chongjiu said that he did not pursue the matter of their serving the Turks in the first place.

Princess Yicheng said: "Khan, if you want to defeat the Turks, you must break through the Jieli Khan Court. Jieli is very cunning. After learning that His Majesty sent troops, he led the army back. It seems that he is going to Tieshan Khan Court. Going forward, if Xieli arrives at Tieshan, he can move Khan Court to Mobei at any time, then it will be as difficult as going to heaven to defeat Xieli again."

Yuan Junzhang said immediately: "Your Majesty, we have been outside the Great Wall for many years, and we are well aware of the Turkic situation. We are willing to lead the way for Your Majesty to eliminate the Turks."

Li Chongjiu immediately said: "I have long wanted to pursue Jieli, and I have decided to divide my troops into two groups, one way from the pass of Yinshan Mountain to cross the White Road, and attack Tieshan Mountain; the other way to attack through the Gaoque of Yangshan Mountain, which one in your opinion can be the main force? "

Zhang Changxun said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, Jieli is reluctant to leave Monan and return to Mobei. Otherwise, now that winter is approaching, he will at least freeze to death most of his cattle, sheep and horses. Shan and our army are planning a decisive battle. If they lose, Jieli must flee westward and join Murong Fuyun, king of Tuyuhun, or Qu Wentai, king of Gaochang. If our army should use the main force to leave the pass of Yinshan Mountain, and use light cavalry to detour all the way to Yangshan Gao Que, it is to cut off Jieli's way back to the west."

Li Chongjiu heard the words and said: "With Zhang Aiqing here, why worry about the undefeated Turks! In this case, I ordered Yu Chigong, Zhang Changxun, and Tudiji to lead [-] cavalry of the Han army, [-] cavalry of the Han army attached to the north, [-] cavalry of the Mohe army in the west, and [-] cavalry of the Han army in the west. Enter Daoyang Mountain, detour to the left side of Tieshan Mountain, and I will lead the main force northward to attack the Yinshan Pass."

After hearing this, all the generals took orders together.

The main force of more than [-] troops moved forward immediately, Li Chongjiu was worried that Xieli would escape, so he immediately ordered Xue Wanche to lead [-] elite cavalry of the Han army to advance ahead, forming the first formation.

Yinghefu led the [-]-room Dexi cavalry to follow Xue Wanche as the second formation.

Turkic cavalry with [-] Turkic cavalry as support, the third formation.

The three armies advanced one by one and headed towards the Yinshan Pass.

The army passed through the flat Cilechuan Plain and finally came to the foot of Yinshan Mountain.Yinshan stands majestically, and there is a section of the ancient Great Wall that surrounds the foot of Yinshan Mountain, like the skirt of a woman's skirt.This ancient Great Wall was repaired at the foot of Yinshan Mountain when King Zhao Wuling broke Linhu and Loufan. It was the former Great Wall of Zhao.

Across the Great Wall, you can see a stone road made of white stones. The land beside the stone road is as white as lime, winding along the mouth of the big valley to the top of the valley.It is very conspicuous from a distance, and can be clearly seen even after several miles.

Yuan Junzhang said to Li Chongjiu: "The mountain ridge at the top of the valley is called Baidao Ridge. The southern slope of Yinshan Mountain is steep, while the northern slope is relatively gentle. It will be easy to cross the mountain ridge road. Below is the end point of Baidao Mountain, Wuchuan Town."
