In Lulong County, Pingquan City, Gongsun Zan met Meng Yi, the prefect of Yanbei County, Tang Jun, who came from Chengde within the county office.

"Xiaguan Yanbei Prefect Meng Yi pays homage to Lord Yan Guo!"

"Meng Taishou exempted the ceremony! This time the Taishou came to Hiraizumi from Chengde, but what is the matter with Tang Gong?"

"Going back to Duke Yan, this time I came to see him at the order of my Patriarch. I have a few things to tell Duke Yan."

"But it doesn't matter!"

"Yes, one of them is to make Master Yan know that my Tang Jun had repelled the Xianbei army of the Suli tribe at noon yesterday. At present, the Suli army has withdrawn from the Yanbei territory and entered the grassland."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was E Ran, and Gongsun Zan was even more shocked. He patted the case in front of him a few times: "The Tang army has repelled the Xianbei army? There should be more than 100,000 troops in the Suli Department. Right? Tang Jun lost a lot?"

"Going back to Yanbei, our army lost more than 10,000 infantry, but the Xianbei army had less than 80,000 horses and returned to the grassland, but they were all soldiers and horses of Suli's cronies. The total army invaded Yanbei was about 200,000. Among them, more than 30,000 were killed in battle, and the remaining 20,000 soldiers and 50,000 civilians were captured by General Zhao Yun." Meng Yi replied with a bow, unable to conceal his inner happiness in his tone.

Gongsun Zan was taken aback and stood up from the seat, looking at Meng Yi with an expression of disbelief: "It really is!?"

"Don't dare to deceive Lord Yan Guo!" Meng Yi replied respectfully; after speaking, he told the story of the war at Gongsun Zan's request.

After Gongsun Zan heard this, he was speechless for a long while before he said, "Tang Guogong sent the prefect, but what else?"

"Going back to Lord Yan, the second purpose of coming here is to come under the order of my Patriarch. My Patriarch said publicly that he wanted to unite Lord Yan and General Xiaoqiang in the west of Liaoning, and the three would jointly send troops. Before the heavy snowfall this year, Drive out the main force of the Xianbei army in Lulong."

"Really?"

"There is absolutely no joking. My Patriarch's public remarks are the death of teeth. If Lulong County has lost, then Yanbei County will definitely not survive alone. Therefore, the military division has three joint troops to destroy the Xianbei army that sent Lulong as much as possible."

"Gong Tang really still values ​​love and righteousness as before. Please make it clear that the prefect, your military division's proposal, how do you want to unite?" Gongsun praised this, and quickly got up and asked Meng Yi;

Upon seeing this, Meng Yi explained Guo Jia's strategy carefully to Gongsunzan. After hearing this, Gongsun Zan immediately agreed. Instead, he fell into deep thought. He was a strong man. This time it was obvious that his troops were not dominant. In this way, in the subsequent battles The power of the master and slave is obvious at a glance, but for him, it is not too willing.

Guan Jing stood up and asked, "Why go from Yanbei to Chifeng instead of sending troops to the north from Pingquan? Isn't it more straightforward to dispatch troops?"

"Guo Junshi meant that since the people of Xianbei sent out a large army to attack, they took this opportunity to annihilate most of them in Lulong. If most of the Xianbei army is destroyed, I believe that it can protect Lulong and Yanbei for several years. Lu Long. Unlike Yanbei, the northern part of Lulong is a grassland. If the main force and rear camp of the Xianbei army cannot be defeated first, the main force will escape, and it will not be easy to send troops to pursue it."

"One more thing is," Meng Yi paused deliberately when he said this, then looked at the crowd, and slowly said after the army focused on his body, "Everyone knows this army. How many supplies, cattle, sheep, and horses did General Zhao Yun get in the Suli Barracks?"

"How much?" everyone asked;

"There are more than one hundred thousand cattle and sheep, five to six thousand horses, and the rest are countless!" Seeing that Gongsun Zan's people's taste had already been lifted, Meng Yi said;

"Oh my God!"

"More than 100,000 cattle and sheep!"

"Five to six thousand horses of all levels!"

Hearing this number, both the civil servants and the generals were shocked. The harvest alone was enough to restore the Yanjun cavalry to their former glory. What's more, there are a lot of other supplies, money and food in the Xianbei rear camp. Even if it is the next part, the gain is huge.

"How to distribute the battle?" Guan Jing asked quickly;

"According to the number of troops sent by each family and the proportion of battle losses after the war, of course, all the troops sent this time are cavalry, and all cavalry must be above intermediate." Meng Yi replied;

"Meng Taishou, please wait a moment, after I wait for a careful discussion, I can reply to the Taishou in a little while." Gongsun Zan saw the wink that Guan Jing gave him, and hurriedly said to Meng Yi;

"Xiaguan retire first!" After listening, Meng Yi hurriedly saluted Gongsun Zan, and then withdrew from the county government under the guidance of Gongsun Zan's personal soldiers.

After Meng Yi retreated, Gongsun Zan looked at the people in the hall and said, "How? Do you think Tang Jun's strategy is feasible?"

"Thanks to the lord, the next officer has carefully considered it. Tang Jun's strategy is indeed feasible! The next officer agrees that the lord and Tang Jun will jointly send troops!" As Gongsun Zan's chief counselor, Guan Jing must be the first to express his opinion.

The others also nodded. Gongsun praised: "Okay, don’t prepare early, set off as soon as possible. My view of the Tang Army’s meaning should be to get rid of Lu Long’s Xianbei dog before the heavy snow falls, so as not to change over time. There is indeed some disagreement with regard to the number of troops sent!" At this point, Gongsun Zan looked at the prefect of Liaoxi and said: "Single prefect, how many cavalry can be dispatched in western Liaoning? I mean the cavalry that meets the standard just mentioned by the monarch?"

Shan Jing thought about it silently, saying: "Five thousand, five thousand cavalry will be dispatched at the end, but the horse is still enough, and it should be six thousand short of it at present."

At present, there are 3,000 cavalrymen in western Liaoning. Among them, one thousand are soldiers with a single warp, and are equipped with one man and two horses, while the other two thousand cavalry are one man and one horse. Therefore, only one warrior has six thousand less horses.

Gongsun Zan also thought about it in his heart, saying: "Today there are 5,000 white horses in Pingquan City, 25,000 ordinary cavalry, and 5,000 more selected from the infantry, a total of 40,000 cavalry rushed to Yanbei County. Converge with the Tang Army. As for the few horses, you can borrow or buy them from the Tang Army first, and you must have them all."

"The lord is wise!" All the generals bowed in response;

Just after Gongsun Zan made the plan to send troops, that night, a team of messengers rushed to Yangle from Laoting and sent an invitation to send troops to the hands of Xiaoqiang, the actual controller of Yangle. Seeing Huangfu Chaobo’s letter, Xiaoqiang agreed to send troops without saying a word. However, in terms of the number of troops sent, he decided to send 20,000 troops. He personally commanded five thousand Wuhuan cavalry and 15,000 ordinary Wuhuan cavalry. As for the generals, in addition to Xian Yu Yinxian Yufu, there were also Nanlou and Loufan. As for the military and political affairs of the three cities of Yangle, Zhou Qiang was handed over to Yu Fan.
