Chapter 1202

On the one hand, Zhao yunhuaxiong and Zhao yunhuaxiong were ordered to gather nearly 30000 cavalry troops, and then sent 10000 soldiers and 10000 guards from Wei County, with a total of 50000 troops approaching Julu County. At the same time, they sent people to contact the Heishan army, and urged Zhang Yan to lead the troops to attack Zhongshan state.

On the other hand, Huangfu Chaobo ordered Yanbei county to mobilize 15000 cavalry, led by Huang Xu himself. He also asked Xiaoqiang to mobilize 10000 cavalry from Liaodong vassal state, led by Tatton, and then to gather 15000 cavalry from Lulong County, Liaoxi County, youbeiping county and Yuyang County of Yan army, with a total of 40000 cavalry from the three armies. He hoped to catch up with Gongsun Zan before his defeat They should arrive at the army and then withdraw to Zhuo county.

Of course, this was only the response of the Tang army. Whether gongsunzan could be saved or not depends on whether gongsunzan was lucky. The war of the Tang army was on the verge of breaking out.

In the mountains more than 20 miles west of Gaoping pass, Tian Yu and his 25000 troops arrived here yesterday afternoon. At this time, 25000 troops had set up barracks in the valley, quietly making the final preparations. Among them, as a pioneer, one thousand iron eagles have set out first and quietly controlled these scattered villages from the camp to the outside of Gaoping pass. More than 100 shadow guard experts led by Shi a have sneaked into Gaoping pass in the past few days. As soon as the army arrives, they can open the gate and seize Gaoping pass. Gao Ping closed the door of the party and opened it to the Tang army.

In the Tang army camp, Tian Yu didn't go to sleep immediately after gathering the generals for discussion. Instead, after inspecting the whole camp again, he stood on the watchtower at the east gate of the camp, looking at the black sky in the East, speechless for a long time. At this time, Tian Yu's thoughts have fallen into the memory. In the first year of Chuping, he was rescued from Xianbei people, and was recruited by an alien Taishou. Then he stayed on the new territory outside the Great Wall for several years, and the others were transferred back to the Central Plains as a battalion commander. Now nine years have passed.

In nine years, Tian Yu has grown from a little boy to a veteran general. In the past few years in Hedong, although his Yingyang army has never participated in the war, he has been using the bandits in Hedong to hone his army. He believes that opportunities will always be left to those who are prepared. Now opportunities finally appear in the future In front of my own eyes.

Today, although Tian Yu only leads 25000 troops to fight, it is the crux of the war. If he can successfully enter the Shangdang, he will be the first to win. If there is any mistake, no, there will be no mistake

Tian Yu thought that this battle was just the starting point of his own development. There will be more and bigger battles waiting for him in the future. One day, Tian Yu will become the first Marquis and Baron of the Tian family of yongnu.

For a long time, Tian Yu only heard the sound of walking behind him. Just as he looked back, he heard the voice of the pro general behind him saying: "general Lu, I'll see you!"

Tian Yu knew that it was Lu Zhong, the chief General of tieyingruishi, his deputy general. Sure enough, Lu Zhong's voice came from behind: "excuse me, is general Tian in front?"

"Yes, general, that's what I'm going to tell you!"

"No, I'll go myself!" Then he turned to his own guard and said, "you stay here."

"No!" In a moment, Lu Zhong had come to the back of Tian Yu: "I have never seen general Tian!"

"General Lu is so polite!" Tian Yu returned a salute to Lu Zhong. Although he was a battalion commander, in the military system of the Tang army, a general of the Jin Wei army was at the same level as the other battalion commanders. Therefore, there was no difference between him and Lu Zhong in terms of level. They were all four grade generals, but Lu Zhong was a king's minister, and he was the commander of the whole army in this war, so there was no difference between them It's kind of complicated.

"I don't know what happened when the general came to the general?"

"At the end of the day, I got the news from the soldiers that all the villages along the way had been under the control of our army, so I specially came to report it to the general!"

"Well, tomorrow we can act according to the original plan. The army will eat at three o'clock, leave at four o'clock, and arrive just outside Gaoping pass at five o'clock. Take a rest outside Gaoping pass, and wait for the time when the gate will open. The cavalry will be the vanguard to fight for the pass. General Lu will lead the Iron Eagle soldiers to catch up quickly, and wipe out the enemy in the pass Chen within the occupation of Gaoping pass, and then the army will command the East, quickly fight for the county seat Tian Yu was overjoyed and said, "don't worry, general, you will live up to your expectations!" Lu Zhong took the lead in boxing

At this time, Gaoping pass, although the sky has been completely dark down, but there are still lights in the pass did not go out. Gaoping pass, originally a medium-sized pass, has always been the Western barrier of Shangdang county. In the Yellow turban rebellion, a large number of bandits also appeared in Shangdang county. Later, they were calmed down by the government and the army, and the remaining bandits fled to the surrounding mountains. Only after so many years of idleness, Gaoping pass was reopened.

However, the Shangdang Taishou only sent 1000 soldiers and horses to garrison Gaoping pass. After more than ten years, Gaoping pass has been safe and sound, so the defense is even more lax. Up to now, the number of 1000 soldiers and horses is no more than 600, and now there are all kinds of merchants in Gaoping pass, just like a small town with thousands of people.In a small courtyard near Guanxi gate, a few months ago, a family recently moved in. It is said that when the yellow scarf thieves started a riot more than ten years ago, a merchant left from the western city of Xi. Seeing that Gaoping gate is like a small town now, he found Duwei, the guard general of guanxi gate, and spent thousands of money to buy the courtyard. Duwei was happy to sell the deserted courtyard It costs thousands of money. Anyway, there are many small courtyards like this in the pass.

If someone sees the situation in the yard, they will be shocked. Now there are more than 100 big men in black in the yard. It's true that Shi a and his subordinates have entered Gaoping pass in succession these days. It's time to rush for the pass tomorrow morning, so all the staff have arrived in the yard this evening.

This courtyard is located in the north of xiguanmen, not directly close to the main road, but in the back of about 100 steps. In the courtyard, Shi a looked at the people: "you guys, tomorrow is the day when the army will seize the pass. The general has already contacted the army outside the city. General Tian has led the army to 20 miles away. So tomorrow morning, when the gate inside the pass is opened, the army will appear outside the pass. At that time, what we have to do is to raid the soldiers guarding the pass to buy time for the cavalry to raid into the pass 。”

"Don't worry, general. We can't compete with them in terms of marching and fighting. But if we assassinate and disturb, and delay time, we are good at it!" One of them said with a smile;

"yes, the general can rest assured!" The rest of the people also said, "OK, everyone have a good rest. Tomorrow morning, we will go out in groups and lurk until the gate is closed. When there is an army outside the gate, we will seize the gate!" Shia nodded and ordered the crowd;
