Let’s talk about Liang Shiyan being beheaded in the chaos. The remnants of the Zhou army fled to Huagu. They wanted to go to the Longmen Ferry, but they chased after Qi Lianmeng. The Zhou army fled in scattered and Qi Lianmeng used light cavalry to catch up with Zhou soldiers along the way...

Most of the Zhou army had no intention of fighting, and the rest could not fight again. Most of them surrendered, and only a hundred remaining soldiers crossed the river and ran back to Yubi. At this point, Liang Shiyan's army had been wiped out.

When Wei Xiaokuan, who was in the jade bi, saw that there were only a few dozen left and described the embarrassed soldiers, his mood was unimaginable.

In fact, just when Yuwen Xian set out and Hu Luguang returned north temporarily, Wei Xiaokuan had already made the decision to go to war, that was, to cooperate with King Yuwen Xian of Qi to retake Xinxiang, Wanchun, Huagu and Longmen.

You should know that although Yu Wen Xian was nominally the supreme commander of the Southern Jin Dynasty War Zone, Wei Xiaokuan was undoubtedly the actual controller.

Jade Bi alone has 20,000 troops all year round, and this influence not only includes the number of troops... The Northern Zhou Dynasty's step-by-step encroachment on the border of Northern Qi was achieved with Jade Bi as the basic basis, and all the surrounding cities were guided by his horse.

In other words, even though Huluguang has always suppressed him, he actually retained a large part of his strength. When necessary, he can gather the scattered power and give Huluguang a heavy blow!

He is there, as long as he is in the Jade Bi, Qi Jun will definitely not dare to bypass Jade Bi under absolute high pressure, which is undoubtedly a way out!

It should be noted that although the terrain south of Yubi is relatively flat, it seems very simple to penetrate into the air. But when you go west, you must pass through a long valley. Yubi is on the side and actually maintains a very powerful military mobilization force. As long as the Qi army dares to break into the air, Wei Xiaokuan will have the ability to kill the Qi army.

This is precisely what Gao Huan is trying to take down the jade bi's follower regardless of everything.

The reason why Huluguang dared to break in and seize Fenglingdu and other important things was nothing more than that in recent years, the Lord Qi went to Fenzhou without any money, especially to Nanfen, which consumed huge manpower, material resources, and financial resources, and carried out military infrastructure, and suppressed the operational space and advantages of Yubi to a very small range... Therefore, in the face of Liu Yong and Huluguang's internal and external cooperation, Wei Xiaokuan had no choice but to do anything.

Then now the question is right in front of him. As soon as he decided to go out to attack Qi, the news that Liang Shiyan was annihilated by the entire system came. The original question of giving points suddenly seemed to have become a question of giving away.

This made Zhou Jun confused...

Through an extremely fast and fierce field battle, Huluguang once again proved the powerful combat power and mobility of the elite Northern Qi.

At this time, the most normal thinking of the commander standing opposite him should be how to avoid his attacks instead of taking the initiative to deliver food on his own. That is no different from seeking death.

In short, this was an extremely heavy blow to the confidence of the Zhou army.

The Fenzhou Army of Northern Qi was known as 100,000. Although its power was doubled, no one knew better than the Zhou army soldiers who had fought with the Qi army for several years on the Yubi line.

So the situation suddenly became clear. Almost all officers expressed disapproval of Wei Xiaokuan's dispatch of troops. Wei Xiaokuan still insisted on issuing military orders, ordering the entire army to gather in Xinxiang and walk straight along the Fenhe River to attack Pingyang...

Although some generals were trying hard to persuade, Wei Xiaokuan did not obey and still issued military orders and no one was allowed to refute them.

When the news was sent to Huluguang, Huluguang was a little surprised, but seemed to think it was reasonable. He waved his hand and asked the whistle to lie down, then looked around and took a breath and said:

"Wei Xiaokuan is anxious and wants to send all his troops to attack Pingyang. What do you think about this?"

What do you think? Of course I saw it like a psychopath!

The generals looked at each other and said:

"The last general really doesn't understand what Wei Xiaokuan is thinking. Not to mention that he only has a few people, even if he has an army of 50,000 or 100,000, he would not dare to fight with us here...

"It's not that the last general underestimates the enemy, the Zhou army's infantry and armor are still acceptable, but the cavalry is not as good as us. If we meet our army, we will definitely be defeated. Why do we have such a meaningless sacrifice?"

The generals agreed, Fenzhou has many basins, and the terrain is flat, which is conducive to cavalry warfare. If you, Wei Xiaokuan, have 40,000 or 50,000 people, you, would have really had some confidence to fight a battle, but there are only a few people, where is the advantage?

It's really puzzling!

Seeing that everyone had the same meaning, Huluguang waved his hand and said, "Wei Xiaokuan, an old turtle, has been smooth and cautious all his life, and he is not so sure. Will he attack me in all his might? I predict that he will have a chance to attack me!"

Huluguang thought for a moment, then patted the rhinoceros leather belt around his waist and said:

"...I think it is true that Wei Xiaokuan sent troops. It is also true that he wants to go north to take Pingyang!"

He held the knife up in the stunned eyes of everyone, "Since these are true and not pretending, he must have a backup plan. What do you think is his backup plan?"

"The governor means... Yuwen Xian?" Qi Lian, who was sitting on the side and looked like a bear, suddenly asked. As soon as he said that he felt something was wrong, he stopped talking.

Unexpectedly, Huluguang gave him an admiring look and said loudly:

"Yes, even Yuwen Xian can only be the reason, otherwise it really won't explain it. Wei Xiaokuan suddenly felt like this? This is simply unreasonable!

"...So I think Liang Shiyan is a cover, Fenshui Pass is a cover, and even Wei Xiaokuan is a cover. If I fight with Wei Xiaokuan, Yuwen Xian will definitely come to attack Pingyang!"

This is not just a speculation, but very likely. First of all, we must see Pingyang's strategic position. As early as when Emperor Xiaozhao Gao Yan was reigned, the famous Hebei scholar Lu Shuhu submitted a review of Pingxi Stories, which clearly stated:

The Northern Qi Dynasty had a rich country, a large number of soldiers, and a strong fortune. The Northern Zhou Dynasty was the opposite. From the perspective of national situation, the Northern Qi Dynasty had to defeat the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

However, the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi have been hurting each other on the border for more than ten years. The reason why they failed to defeat Northern Zhou is that Northern Qi abandoned their national power and used field wars to attack. The generals of Northern Zhou are often good at fighting and relying on geographical advantages, which often fails to make the Qi army's achievements. This is purely to sacrifice their strengths and make the shortcomings.

If you want to destroy Zhou, you will set up an important town in Pingyang and station with heavy troops, which will be opposite Puban. At that time, the Northern Qi will no longer be the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but the Northern Zhou Dynasty... The Northern Zhou has only two choices:

Either they station more heavy troops in southern Shanxi, or they give up southern Shanxi and allow the Northern Qi to gradually swallow up the southern Shanxi. Both of these are chronic deaths for the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

From the standpoint of Northern Zhou, I thought that Northern Qi would station heavy troops in such a dangerous place, constantly spy on Longmen and Puban. If I don’t make any military achievements, I would be very passive.

However, if troops are sent to fight, it is impossible to take it down unless a hundred thousand troops are in force, and the premise is that Guanzhong can ensure that food, grass and weapons are delivered in time.

The 100,000 army is not a small number. The journey back and forth is long, and supply will be extremely difficult... The Zhou army invited the battle, but the Qi army did not leave. As soon as the Zhou army retreated, the Qi army followed behind and harassed and attacked.

In such a few years, the power of the Northern Zhou Dynasty will inevitably be destroyed. At that time, it will be easy to attack Guanzhong.

Unfortunately, these remarks were not very marketable at the time, and in fact, they were not considered before. However, for a long time, the friction between Northern Qi and Northern Zhou has been on Luoyang, Hongnong, and every time the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi sent troops, they must start directly from Jinyang. As a strategic location in Jinzhong, Pingyang failed to play any role as a strategic fulcrum.

But since the Fenzhou War, the emperor issued an edict to build another military base that integrates defense, supply, support and attack on the basis of Pingyang. This undoubtedly put huge pressure on the Yellow River defense line in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and even the protection effect of jade bi on the Yellow River defense line will be greatly reduced.

Puban and Pingyang are only four hundred miles apart, and even in the hands of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, it is only temporary. Puban, Longmen, and Fenglingdu want to take these places, which is like taking a pill for Northern Qi.

The more Hu Luguang thought about it, the more he felt that this was very likely. He paced back and forth excitedly: "This makes everything understandable. Instead of being fooled by Yuwen Xian, going around in circles and asking Wei Xiaokuan to get a bargain, it would be better to go to Pingyang to wait for their own efforts and wait for them to die!"

The generals expressed their agreement, and Qi Lianmeng opened his mouth in the crowd. Thinking about it, there seemed to be no problem, so he swallowed the words again... and the army went east.

In less than a day, the whistle detective reported to see Wei Xiaokuan coming tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry, and flags covered the sun. It was already winter, and light snow fell in the sky... Huluguang formed a large formation and waited quietly. The flag of Wei Xiaokuan on the opposite side was gradually approaching, and the distance between the two sides was less than seven miles...
