In Shangjun, exterior Shuofang metropolis on the South Financial institution of the river, 100000 Tang troops braved the extreme chilly and orderly got here to the river. 20000 cavalry troops have been cruising on each side of the military, and 50000 elite troopers of Yingyang camp surrounded the logistics camp composed of 10000 troopers and civilian males within the center, approaching the unfrozen river.

Tian Yu was main Gao Lan and Xu Huang to the river. Quickly they got here to the river. Trying on the thick ice on the river, Tian Yu turned to have a look at Xu Huang and stated, “Normal Xu, have you ever confirmed the thickness of the ice? Is it sure that the military and the provides shall be secure to cross the river? ”

Listening to the speech, Xu Huang instantly circled and gave a salute to Tian Yu, saying: “don’t be concerned, basic. I personally confirmed yesterday that the thickness of the ice is sufficient. In Shangjun lately, the ice thickness of the river is the thickest that I have never seen lately.”

“Effectively,” Tian Yu knew Xu Huang’s steadiness, so he didn’t hesitate any extra. He stated to the messenger beside him, “go on, the cavalry will cross the river first, and watch the Zhao military on the opposite facet. After confirming the protection, the remainder of the troopers will cross the river.”

At the moment, the northern a part of the nation had not modified. If atypical folks weren’t going to exit at the moment, it was the most effective time for the Tang military to cross the river. The 100000 troops, even males and horses, are wrapped in thick winter garments, however they aren’t afraid of the chilly. Furthermore, there isn’t any snow in lately, which is the fitting time for the troops to cross the river.

You must know that the winter garments of the 100000 troops of the Tang military have been despatched to Luoyang as early as final 12 months after Huangfu Chaobo returned. That is why the Tang military is so fearless. However Zhao’s military is totally different, not to mention the winter garments of 100000 troops. Now Zhang Liao, the overall of the northern expedition, is answerable for the troopers and horses of Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong and Dingxiang. Amongst his troopers and horses, there are solely 20000 troopers and horses with thick winter garments like Tang’s military. The remainder of the troopers principally keep within the barracks and exit as little as attainable in winter.

If the Tang military needs to cross the river once more after the spring is heat, it is going to be loads of hassle. Due to this fact, within the face of such a large-scale crossing of the river by the Tang military, though Zhang Liao supposed to cease it, he was additionally unable to return to heaven.

Nevertheless, Zhao was not unprepared. After he principally confirmed that the Tang military would ship troops final 12 months, Lv Bu fortunately handed over all of the troops of the 4 northern counties to Zhang Liao.

Later, with the permission of Lv Bu, Zhang Liao ordered the folks of Wuyuan and Wuyuan counties of Shuofang to maneuver to the clouds, and gathered all of the troops in every metropolis. Zhang Liao personally led 25000 infantry troops to garrison in Guangmu, the most effective metropolis within the two counties, whereas the opposite cities solely organized 3000 or 5000 troops, all of which have been primarily based on the elite of Zhao state After half a 12 months’s preparation, all of the troopers and horses in a number of counties are prepared for use.

Zhang Liao ordered to pick out 20000 of essentially the most elite troopers from Yunzhong and Dingxiang counties and provides them to Music Xian, commander of Yunzhong Duwei, to garrison in Fuyang Metropolis. The remainder of the troopers in these two counties got to Wang He, commander of Dingxiang Duwei, to be answerable for the protection of the 2 counties. Nevertheless, Wang he had fewer than 20000 troopers. In the event that they have been assigned to every metropolis, they might be crucial Greater than a thousand folks.

In at this time’s cities of Shuofang and Wuyuan, besides Guangmu and Fuyang, there are loads of meals and grass. In different cities, there are solely sufficient meals and grass for troopers to die for half a 12 months. Furthermore, solely a small variety of younger individuals are used as auxiliary troopers. The remainder of the atypical individuals are ordered by Zhang Liao to maneuver into the cloud.

Below Zhang Liao’s deliberate concession, the 100000 Tang military efficiently crossed the river. What they crossed the river with was sufficient meals and grass for a number of months. Tian Yu knew that after crossing the river, the military wouldn’t need to get meals and grass assist from Henan for at the very least one or two months. So this time, he merely took sufficient meals and grass for a number of months.

After the military crossed the river, Tian Yu did not instantly ship troops to Guangmu to battle towards Zhang Liao. As an alternative, he despatched his troops eastward to Xi’an and Yang. He needed to prepare the meals, grass and provides earlier than he might ship troops to Guangmu. Earlier than Zhang Liao’s military was solved, he couldn’t proceed to March eastward to assault Fuyang. So Zhang Liao was not in a rush, and he simply waited for the Tang military Take the initiative.

A couple of days later, tens of 1000’s of Tang troops crossed the river and arrived at Yangcheng of Xi’an. As time went on, 20000 cavalry gathered the fundamental info of Zhao military within the north of the river.

Below the Yang Metropolis of Xi’an, within the camp of the Tang military, trying on the intelligence in his hand, Tian Yu checked out FA Zheng and stated, “within the view of navy strategists, what does Zhao Jun need to do?”

FA Zheng is trying on the map of Bingzhou within the massive account, frowning and pondering rigorously. Simply as Tian Yu was about to rise up, he immediately seemed up and noticed that the Tang fashion on one facet needed to say nothing, so he stated, “basic Tang, what do you need to inform this basic? But it surely would not matter. ”

Listening to the speech, the Tang fashion shortly obtained up and stated, “report again to the overall. In keeping with the opinion of the overall, Zhao Jun imitated the observe of our military a couple of years in the past. My lord Oh, when Lord Xiaojiejie was in energy, he was attacked by the Xianbei military. At the moment, after a number of adults mentioned, they withdrew all of the folks within the area to town, after which strengthened the wall and cleared the sector… ”

After listening to this, Fazheng brightened his eyes after which sank his face. He stated, “basic Tang’s phrases remind me, and I believe Zhao’s military is greater than that. In any case, the knowledge despatched again within the second half of final 12 months exhibits that Zhao Guoguo moved the folks of the 2 counties on a big scale.””If it isn’t dangerous,” Fazheng stated in a deep voice, “it’s extremely seemingly that amongst all of the cities within the two counties, it is estimated that there are solely Zhao troopers and horses, and there are few atypical folks left.”

When Tian Yu heard the phrases, he responded and stated: “within the view of navy strategists, the state of Zhao needs to delay the battle. So long as the battle is delayed, a few of the princes on this planet shall be unable to restrain it. At the moment, our nation might want to battle on two and even three sides. At the moment, the disaster of the state of Zhao shall be solved.”

“That is proper. Now, we have to quiet down the military as quickly as attainable, after which clarify the distribution of Zhang Liao’s military, after which we are able to prepare the subsequent battle!” Fazheng stated that and seemed up at Tian Yu. In any case, he was the commander in chief of the three armed forces, and he was solely a navy adviser.

“Good,” Tian Yu rubbed to his ft, seemed on the generals within the tent and stated, “the military will relaxation all evening and assault Xi’an Yangcheng tomorrow.”

At this level, he turned to the general public and stated, “tomorrow’s battle shall be dominated by Normal Gao Lan and assisted by Tang fashion basic. Each generals needs to be acquainted with Xi’an Yangcheng, particularly basic Tang. I hope that tomorrow shall be an excellent one.”

Each of them have been overjoyed once they heard the speech. They checked out one another and walked to the middle of the tent shortly. They gave a salute and stated, “should you do not take the command, you possibly can relaxation assured. For those who do not wait, it is possible for you to to stay as much as your belief.”

Though the opposite generals have been unwilling, additionally they knew that there was nothing improper with Tian Yu’s transfer. Gao Lan, as the primary basic of the unique allied forces, had no downside in his skill. Tang Shi was initially the commander of Xi’an Yang, and nobody was extra acquainted with him.

This time, fifty thousand Yingyang troopers have been divided into three elements. Tian Yuqin led twenty thousand Chinese language troopers, Gao Lan and Xu Huang led fifteen thousand every, and the three generals of the Tang Dynasty led 5 thousand of them.

“The remainder of the generals, Normal Xu Huang and basic Ju Yan, raided the battle line for the Gaotang Dynasty. If they might not seize Xi’an Yang tomorrow, the 2 leaders would assault town sooner or later. The Chinese language military would keep on the camp, half of the cavalry would keep on the camp, and half of the cavalry could be scattered in 1000’s of individuals to observe the motion of the Zhao military.”

After listening to this, Gao Lan and Tang Shi modified their faces and stated to Tian Yu, “don’t be concerned, basic. Earlier than darkish tomorrow, the military can have dinner in Yangcheng, Xi’an.”

“That is good!” Tian Yu stated with a smile: “I’ll wait and see!”
