Chapter 130 Confrontation of Strategies The arrival of Liu Han gave the Han army in Liangzhou a shot in the arm.
"Prefect Huangfu, let's talk about the situation in the North first."
"Here."
Huangfu Song couldn't understand why Liu Han's army arrived so quickly.
Logically speaking, it would take at least three to five days from the time the order was sent to the assembly of the entire army to the departure of the army. After that, it would take ten days for the army to march from Jinyang to Fuping. However, this man only spent ten days in total, and the army was ready. Having arrived at Fuping, it can be said that the troops are extremely fast.
"The arrival of the Xianbei people this time is very strange. Although they are coming with force, only a small number of people, estimated to be more than [-] people, have entered the three counties of Wuwei, Beidi and Anding. Most of the rest are stationed north of Beishan (Helan Mountain) , there is no intention to invade the South.
The real troublemakers in the interior are the Qiang people who live in the interior. The Qiang people are causing trouble in the four counties of Jincheng, Longxi, Wudu, and Hanyang. "
"Ah"
Huangfu Song couldn't see it, but Liu Han could see something. The Qiang people were in rebellion because someone was secretly instigating the relationship between the Han and Qiang people. Although the chaos was chaotic, it was still within control. It felt like the thunder was loud and the rain was small.
What gives the Qiang people confidence is the Xianbei army heading north of Beishan. If the Xianbei people retreat, the Qiang people's rebellion will calm down. However, if the Xianbei people attack Youfufeng, the Qiang people will get angry. Pour oil.
Everyone is waiting.
The Xianbei people are waiting for him to come over, the Qiang people are waiting for the war between Han and Xianbei, and the ghosts in the court are waiting for the outcome of the war, and no one has good intentions.
"Report!!!"
While they were talking, a scout horse suddenly arrived, "Report to the eunuch, the scouts from Lian County came to report that a large number of Xianbei cavalry suddenly appeared in Lingwu Valley, preparing to go south towards Fuping."
Everyone walked to the map and found the location of Lingwu Valley.
"I'm really aggrieved. He Lian is willing to wait for me in the north for ten days."
Liu Han's meaning was very clear. The reason why Xianbei's army had not moved yet and only sent a small group of cavalry to harass was that he was waiting for the Bingzhou army to arrive.
"Wenhe, the Xianbei people have become smarter and know how to use their brains."
At this time, Jia Xu looked a little pale. After all, he was a scribe. He could not bear the ten days of continuous march.
"Lord, our army has just arrived. We are tired and out of horses. It is not appropriate to engage in battle at this time."
All the generals agreed that what Mr. Wen He said was reasonable.
"How many troops are stationed in Fuping?"
"General, there are four thousand troops stationed in Fuping, men who can fight a hundred battles."
It doesn't matter whether Liu Han fights against him or not. What Liu Han cares about is Lingwu Valley. If he can block the entrance of the valley, his retreat will be cut off. However, Liu Han doesn't think that He Lian will not leave people there. After all, He Lian has a brain.
"The whole army is camped outside the city and will rest for the time being."
"Here!"
The tension of the war made Huangfusong dare not slack off, but what made him even more strange was that he seemed to be involved in a conspiracy, which made him feel uneasy.
# The fact was just as Liu Han expected. When He Lian heard that Liu Han's army had arrived in Fuping, he was shocked. He did not expect Liu Han to arrive so quickly.
So he ordered the army to break camp and move southward. When passing through Lingwu Valley, if Xu You hadn't reminded him, Helian would not have let people go here.
"Chanyu must not forget that Shanyu was trapped at Yanmen Pass first. If the Han army took advantage of Shanyu's unpreparedness and sent an elite to build fortifications here, it would be in danger if the war ended in a stalemate."
He Lian broke into a cold sweat after hearing this. According to Erlang who came back, Liu Han's son first asked the army to hold off his father, and when the army ran out of food, he blocked Yanmen Pass and was defeated.
"Shamo Han, I order you to lead four thousand troops to stay in Lingwu Valley and guard the entrance of the valley for me to prevent the Han army from sneaking up and cutting off my army's retreat!"
"Follow your orders!" This time when going south, Helian was also well prepared. He had prepared two months' worth of army food and fodder alone, which was enough to hold a stalemate with the Han army. There is also a blood feud, so I feel relieved to leave this matter to him.
Looking at this Han traitor, He Lian felt more and more that the Han people could not be trusted, and he felt more and more that this person must be killed when the battle was over.
"This Han man must be watched day and night."
He Lian already had a plan in mind.
# In the Northern Hemisphere, winter nights are getting earlier and longer.
The sun is setting in the west and the sky is getting a vast piece of loess, following Liu Han's order, the soldiers began to set up camp busily.
Different from ordinary recruitment, the Bingzhou Army was more disciplined. Everyone knew their own tasks, divided labor and cooperated in an orderly manner. The soldiers quickly unfolded their marching tents and fixed the tents to the ground with the same time, they used shovels to dig out a shallow channel so that there would be enough water available the next morning.
At the same time, wooden walls were erected outside the camp, a lookout tower was built, horses were placed, the gate was raised, and sergeants were assigned to patrol and guard.
Night, as scheduled.
Liu Han shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers and lived in the camp outside the lit a bonfire around the tent, and the firelight flickered and danced in the night, adding a sense of security to the camp.
The soldiers spread hay on the ground as beds. They were tired from many days of marching. Although there were 5000 people, a considerable part of them were new troops who had not been on the battlefield. The next battle was a test of their psychology. It is also a test of nearly a year of some of them had seen blood, it was incomparable to the scene that followed.
Therefore, many people are filled with expectations and worries about tomorrow.
Liu Han's tent had been set up a long time ago, and the six people he brought now, Jia Xu, Duan Jue, Zhang He, Gao Shun, Cheng Pu, and Wang Rou, were also discussing matters in the tent.
"He Lian has capable people around him who are smart."
Everyone remained silent on this matter. This was not a political game that they could touch.
"If I were from Xianbei, what would I do tonight?"
Liu Han's words made everyone's hearts skip a beat.
# "Assault camp?"
"Yes, Great Chanyu, this is a God-given opportunity."
Following Xu You's direction, He Lian saw bonfires dotting the Han army's camp.
"At this moment, the Han army has just arrived in Fuping. After a day's work, the men and horses must be exhausted. The Han army must have neglected to take precautions tonight. It is an excellent opportunity to attack the camp."
He Lian looked in the direction of the Han army, and then looked at the army behind him. He thought it was true!
My side had rested for a few days, and the whole army was full of energy. On the other hand, the Han army was short of men and horses at the moment. If the Han army was allowed to rest for a night to recover, it would definitely be an evenly matched battle tomorrow.
At this moment, He Lian suddenly fell in love with this scheming Han Chinese. What a wonderful thing it is to use strategies on Han people! "Command the whole army, tonight I will lead all, no, half of the army, to attack the Han camp at midnight!"
# Raid the camp!
If they are enemies, they will definitely attack the camp tonight before they have a firm foothold.
"Tonight, all soldiers will not disarm or unsaddle their horses. If someone attacks the camp, let them in and we will close the door and beat the dogs!"
"Here!"
The generals were in a hurry and went down to make arrangements.
Liu Han looked at the north, "He Lian, please don't let me down tonight."
