The generals discussed Song Jingang's combat plan overnight and finally agreed to use a large army to siege Fan Yang, who had a small force, so as to lure Liu Wuzhou to send troops to rescue from Yicheng, and then surround the site to attack the reinforcements, and use the main force to intercept Liu Wuzhou's reinforcements, forcing him to accept the decisive battle. Then he took advantage of the grassland cavalry field battle and won the decisive battle.

This tactic is very capable of exerting, and Li Chongjiu's cavalry's advantages. The plan is just a matter of paper talk. In order to prepare for this decisive battle, Li Chongjiu stepped up training of the 10,000 grassland cavalry, and on the other hand, he sent a large number of detailed intelligence to spy on the terrain of Yixian and Fanyang. Where can we use troops, where can we ambush, and where to fight to the decisive battle, we ordered a detailed map.

However, 10,000 cavalry ate and chewed horses every day, which is a large expense. Not to mention people, the hay eaten by war horses every day is an astronomical figure. When Li Chongjiu was trying to find a solution for this problem, he gave me a hint. After hearing this, Ying Hefu laughed and obviously didn't take it seriously.

It turns out that every Hu people on the grassland has several professions, usually hunters, herdsmen, soldiers, and of course robbers in the ancestral industry. The Han people call their behavior Kou Zhuo, while the Xi people call themselves the Grass Valley. The word Grass Valley is very vivid, because the herdsmen have to shoot hay everywhere in autumn to store it for sheep and horses to spend the winter. Of course, Li Chongjiu would not let the Hu cavalry fight on his territory. He would serve as the prefect to govern Shanggu County in the future. He would rob his people now, and even if he came to power, he would never be popular with the people.

Therefore, Li Chongjiu temporarily moved the cavalry to Yanmen County. The imperial court originally set up a horse shepherd in the border counties here. Later, because the Turks surrounded Emperor Yang of Sui in Fenyang Palace, the horse shepherd in the horse shepherd was abandoned. Although there were no war horses, the ranch was still there. Li Chongjiu simply stationed the 10,000 cavalry in Yanmen, and while practicing, he fed the local area.

On one day in October, the snow first fell, and the people of Shanggu County all changed into winter clothes to prepare for the winter. However, such heavy snow first fell, the Hu people on the grassland were not very cold. Not to mention the white and black disasters on the grassland, but only the strong wind on the grassland is now much colder than the Central Plains. Rouran, when the Turks were strong, they took advantage of the autumn and winter times to invade the Han area south every year, one to beat grass valleys and the other to avoid the cold winter on the grassland. Sometimes the Yellow River freezes, and the grassland cavalry can even cross the river through the ice, and then return to the grassland when it is spring.

The ground was covered with snow, and the grass tip had not been wiped out, but a thin layer was just a thin layer. Suddenly, the ground trembled, and the snow pit was broken by the horse's hooves. The Hu cavalry holding a horn bow in the Shanggu area and crossing the arrow bags leaped from west to east like a torrent, and smoke rolled towards Fanyang.

Now, there are tens of thousands of troops on all sides of Fanyang County, which are far behind and left. The guards of Fanyang City are surrounded by countless hairs and left and right sides. Xunxiang saw countless people under the city with their hair and left-sided lapels and their bodies are wrapped in leather. Many people are not afraid of the cold and put out their right arms and undresses and pull out the horn bows on their horses. This is naturally for the convenience of pulling arrows with their right hand. This shows the bravery of the enemy. The Hu cavalry on all sides of the city are fully deployed and set up a formation. Each cavalry is at least more than three horses. The white air exhaled by the war horses rises to the air. The city is like a layer of white mist, covering the face of the Hu people on the horse.

When we met, we were shocked. Fan Yang was in the mainland, which was not as strong as the border cities, not to mention a big city like Ji County and Jinyang. With this low city and a mere three thousand defenders, we could resist the Hu army for a few days.

"General, our lonely city will definitely not be able to withstand so many Hu cavalry. The general is willing to risk his life to lead more than a dozen cavalry out of the siege and report to General Liu!"

"No need," Xunxiang waved his hand, a few blue veins on his forehead jumped out, and shouted, "This place is only sixty miles away from Yi County. General Liu must have known it for a long time. We are waiting for reinforcements with peace of mind."

The scene before a great battle came in the Liuwu Zhou army camp in Yi County.

Liu Wuzhou wore heavy armor and followed a row of guards into the big tent. He stood up to welcome the generals and pressed his hand: "Sit!"

The armor sounded clanging, and the generals sat in pairs on a long table. Liu Wuzhou walked to the main seat and said, "There are already aware of Fan Yang's surroundings. Fan Yang City has a small army. If the troops are not sent to rescue quickly, the city will be destroyed!"

Before Liu Wuzhou finished speaking, the first general stood up and said, "Report to the general, according to the spy's return, the enemy has not yet attacked the city. Are you going to see it? The last general is worried that this is the enemy's yin* our army will go to rescue and set up an ambush in the middle."

Liu Wuzhou laughed and said, "You said it's right. In my opinion, the same is true. The Hu cavalry is good at fighting in the field and short of siege. If they have no absolute advantage, they will not attack my strengths with their own shortcomings. There will be ambush on the road. However, since our army knows that the enemy's strategy is not like this, what else can we fear?"

After hearing what Liu Wuzhou said, all the generals slapped the table and laughed.

A mountain thirty miles away from Fanyang, under the white turtle and yellow axe, was the ceremonial guard of Khan Li Chongjiu. After Li Chongjiu carried his hands, he stood firm on the top of the mountain. The white turtle made of Bai Baoniu's hair was fluttering in the wind.

"Report!" A soldier dragged his long voice to Li Chongjiu and said, "Report to Khan, Liu Wuzhou led an army of 10,000 out of the barracks and is now coming to this place."

"Oh," Li Chongjiu turned around and asked, "How is the enemy distributed? How fast?"

The soldier said: "Liu Wuzhou personally led the army to move slowly behind him, and led by four thousand armored troops and walked forward quickly. In this way, he could resist the city of Fanyang in one day."

Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "Order all troops to ambush on the mountain road, and do not send troops without waiting for my order."

After the soldier retreated, Li Chongjiu waited patiently for the news. It took less than a long time to receive news that Liu Wuzhou entered his ambush circle.

"Report!"

Another spy came to report that Li Chongjiu saw that the other party looked panicked. It was obvious that Liu Wuzhou was not trapped. He only heard the spy say tremblingly: "Our army ambushed in Quezi Valley was suddenly set on fire by Liu Wuzhou's army, and the army of Etuo was besieged in the valley."

After hearing this, Li Chongjiu knew that his intention was discovered by Liu Wuzhou, and he thought that it was true that Liu Wuzhou and Xue Shixiong were all cunning.
