More than half a month ago.

The sixteen states of Yanyun - Shuozhou.

The British Duke Zhang Fu set up camp a hundred miles outside the city.

Inside the big tent.

Zhang Fu shouted from time to time:

"Where has Gu Yan been?!"

"Where are you?!"

However, no one in the tent could answer his question.

After a long time, a trusted general bowed and said: "Commander, we can't wait any longer, Yanmen can't afford to wait!"

"The commander-in-chief leads his army straight to Huanzhou. He only needs to leave 30,000 men for the last general, and he will surely be able to hold back the Shuozhou people!"

Zhang Fu frowned deeply and said: "There are one hundred thousand guards in Shuozhou. You can't stop them. Why hasn't Gu Yankai arrived yet?"

"If this guy misses something important and causes Yanmen to fall, I will never spare him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a bloody general broke into the tent and said with a smile:

"I'm coming!"

"Mr. British, I am not too late!"

The person coming is none other than Gu Yankai!

Zhang Fu was instantly excited, stepped down from his position, held one of his arms firmly, and asked:

"How many people did you bring?"

Gu Yankai smiled at first, and then when he came to the sand table, he saw the flag with the word "Gu" and placed it directly in front of Shuozhou City.

"Sixty thousand! Is it enough for the Shuozhou Liao thieves to drink a pot?"

Hearing the sound, Zhang Fu stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "That's enough! That's enough!"

After a pause, his expression suddenly froze, "Where is Yingzhou?"

Gu Yankai took a deep breath and bowed solemnly:

"Fortunately, the general has lived up to his command and fought three consecutive battles in Yingzhou. The main force of the Liao army in Yingzhou suffered heavy losses and has been holding them back!"

In an instant, the entire tent was silent.

Yingzhou also has a hundred thousand soldiers!

Capturing Yingzhou City is nothing more than a dream!

Therefore, the British Duke Zhang Fu's initial plan was to let Gu Yankai provoke the Liao army with cavalry, and then weaken Yingzhou's strength.

The Liao cavalry was the best in the world. When they saw the provocation of Zhou Dynasty with cavalry, they would definitely go out of the city to meet the enemy. Even if they did not go out of the city, they could still hold them back.

But I didn't expect that Gu Yankai not only held back Yingzhou, but also defeated its main force!

As expected of the founding queen!

"Without Zhang Shuai's ingenious plan, even ten Gu Yankai in Yingzhou would not be able to take advantage at all!"

Gu Yan bowed happily and sincerely.

It has been nearly a hundred years since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty.

For example, the British Duke Zhang Fu, Ningyuan Marquis Gu Yankai, and Xu Changzhi, a descendant of the Yongyi Marquis Mansion who is currently in Yanmen, are all empresses of the founding of the country.

Among the descendants of the founders of the country, the British Duke Zhang Fu, who was nearly fifty years old, was the most prestigious.

"General Gu, you're welcome. When this battle is over, you will be the second greatest contributor to this battle!"

Zhang Fu smiled and patted Gu Yankai's shoulder.

Hear the sound.

The latter wondered: "The Liao army only knows that Zhang Shuai and I each lead an army of 100,000."

"But they never expected that Zhang Shuai only had 50,000 soldiers here, and as for the main force, he was led by the last general."

"It's just that I don't know who will be the most important hero in this battle?"

Including Wei Yuan, and even most of the soldiers in the army, the general orders they received were that Zhang Fu and Gu Yankai would each lead an army of 100,000.

However, in fact, the army Zhang Fu asked Gu Yankai to lead amounted to 150,000!

Such concealment made Liao army coach Yelu Ren take it lightly!

Because if each leads an army of 100,000, Yingzhou and Shuozhou can still resist no matter how weak they are.

If the Zhou army directly attacks Huanzhou, the base camp of the Liao army.

Then, Shuo and Ying prefectures occupied by the Liao army will become horns with Huan prefecture and become invincible.

By then, as long as Yanmen is captured, the Liao army will definitely win this battle.

But what about now?

The main force of Yingzhou was damaged, and Gu Yankai came to Shuozhou without stopping, intending to hold back the Shuozhou defenders.

In this way, Zhang Fu can lead his own soldiers and use some of the troops left in Yingzhou with Gu Yan to encircle Huanzhou!

Layers of strategies, all the time, but if you are not careful, you will lose everything!

Only Zhang Fu, the leader of the nobles, dared to march and fight like this.

"As for who is the biggest contributor, you will know later!"

"Gu Yankai, this battle has just begun!"

"Leave the enemy troops in Shuozhou to you! Hold them back for me, the commander!"

"Send the order, the entire army must assemble and march into Huanzhou!"

Zhang Fu issued the order.

Gu Yankai nodded solemnly.

He boasts that he has experienced hundreds of battles, but he is still not as good as Zhang Fu in terms of commanding large armies in battle.

If he were to direct this battle, he would be able to do it steadily and steadily at best.

——

Three days later.

Zhang Fu personally led the army to attack Huanzhou.

Another day later, half of the 60,000 soldiers left in Yingzhou by Gu Yankai came to the outside of Huanzhou City to obey Zhang Fu's command.

In the battle of Yingzhou, the 150,000-strong army led by Gu Yankai suffered about 30,000 losses.

Preliminary estimates indicate that the casualties of the Liao soldiers in Yingzhou are as high as more than 47,000!

The main reason why he was able to achieve this level of results was that no one would have thought that he had 150,000 soldiers in his hands!

The moment Zhang Fu attacked Huanzhou City for the first time, Liao army commander Yelu Renxian was already panicking.

"Impossible! Where did Zhou Jun come from? Isn't Zhang Fu in Shuozhou?"

When he heard the city guards coming to report, Yelvren blurted out first, then came to the sand table, stared in the direction of Yingzhou, and said:

"The problem lies in Yingzhou! Didn't they say that they have left Gu Yankai in Yingzhou?"

As soon as these words came out, all the Liao generals fell silent.

Zhang Fu had formulated a whole strategy from the beginning, and relied on the information gap to take the lead step by step.

Moreover, he trusted Gu Yankai very much, and made a desperate bet, which made Yelu Renxian realize it later.

It is conceivable how difficult it is for the Liao army to deal with it.

"Send an order to defend Huanzhou to the death!"

"Order Ying and Shuozhou to rush to help!"

"Send a hundred scouts, at all costs, to inform Yelu Yixian to quickly take Yanmen!"

Yelv Renxian was a famous general, and he thought everything through in an instant, and he also understood that the key to victory was not in the three states of Yanyun.

But Yanmen!

As long as Yanmen was taken, the Zhou army would be attacked from all sides and could only withdraw from Yanyun.

If it failed, Zhang Fu would most likely take Huanzhou first, and at worst he would have more than enough to advance and retreat.

Because at this moment, the defenders of Huanzhou were only 50,000! ——

The Battle of Huanzhou lasted for the fourth day.

The battle of Ying and Shuozhou also started completely.

At this moment, Zhang Fu was in the military tent.

He was thinking about the overall situation.

According to Yelu Renxian's initial plan, Yixian led 50,000 soldiers to attack Yanmen;

Yingzhou, as the main base camp of the Liao army, was the rear base of the Liao army and had 100,000 soldiers;

Shuozhou was the closest to Yanmen and could support Yelu Yixian at any time. The garrison there was as many as 100,000!

As for his side, excluding Yanmen, the total number of troops attacking Huanzhou was only about 70,000 to 80,000.

Zhang Fu knew that it would be difficult to take Huanzhou!

But he had no choice!

"The Liao army is not good at defending the city, and their cavalry can only play an advantage in field battles!"

"If Ying and Shuozhou send reinforcements, then with Yelu Renxian's suspicious character, he will definitely think that I will take advantage of the lack of troops in the two states and turn around to attack the two states."

"In this case, in order to prevent the loss of Yanyunzhou City, Yelu Renxian will definitely abandon the defense of the city and engage in field battles with our army, hoping to delay me and wait for the reinforcements from the two states to arrive, and then annihilate me completely!"

"Then, the decisive battle will come!"

"Yuan'er, Yanmen, you must defend it for me!"

When Zhang Fu thought of this, he smashed his fist hard in the direction of 'Huanzhou' on the map.

Success or failure depends on this one move!
