The Turks did not know that Li Chao, the marshal of the Northern Expedition of the Tang Dynasty and the chief general of the middle lane, did not go to Shuofang Lingzhou to replace Changsun Wuji, but directly brought ten thousand cavalry to Loufan Pass in Hedong.

He didn't know that Princess Pingyang Li Xiuning had already taken over as the governor of Lanzhou and brought 10,000 troops. In addition, the subordinates who were originally stationed and Li Jing retreated here, inside and outside Loufanguan City, the Tang army, Turkic cavalry, and local Hedong soldiers, totaling 50,000.

Fifty thousand soldiers were stationed in a Guancheng that had been reinforced for two years, as well as powerful generals like Li Chao, Yuchi Gong, and Qin Qiong. If the Turks knew about it, they would never come.

"If we let the Turks come in at the north entrance and block the north entrance after they pass, then the Huihe Valley, which is more than 20 miles long, will become a huge cage, and we can close the door and beat the dog."

A decisive battle with the Turkic cavalry in the field is a short-term attack on the enemy's strengths. No matter how inexperienced the generals would not do such stupid things. But if they become Turks and are trapped in this section of river valley, then no matter how many Turks have, it will be useless.

Because this section of river valley has mountains on both sides, and the width is only a little over the mile. In many places, only ten horses can be used in parallel. In this terrain, if the encounter battles are not fought but ambushing, the benefits of the Turkic cavalry are completely lost. On the contrary, relying on the terrain, even if the cavalry of the Tang army is less than the infantry, it can still gain the upper hand.

A Turkic general was puzzled, "Turi is also a long-standing battle formation. He will not easily lead the army to this valley. Everyone knows that in the river valley, the more cavalry there are, the less they cannot be used."

Li Chao smiled.

In normal circumstances, Tuli would certainly not rashly lead 100,000 cavalrymen in. However, Tuli could not come, so you can find some ways to let him come.

Qin Qiong, Niu Jinda, Luo Shixin, Shan Xiongxin, and Li Junxian were chatting with the original Wagang brothers. They knew very well what Li Chao's confidence was. Li Chao's plan did not tell Jie Li's old subordinates, but he did not hide it from them.

Although the plan was a bit risky, they also admitted that it was very feasible.

After patrolling the city, Li Chao was very satisfied with the city defense.

Li Xiuning, the governor of Lanzhou and the general manager of Lou Fan, is still very good at leading troops.

"Your Three Thousand Detachment of Women, don't let you. I think this Loufan Pass is also known as Phoenix City, but if you join your Detachment of Women, it's better to call this Loufan Pass in the future."

There was already a Niangzi Pass in the Tang Dynasty, which was a pass city in the Jingxing Pass from Taiyuan to Hebei. Because Li Xiuning led the Niangzi Pass there a few years ago, it was called Niangzi Pass.

"That's what I have to call Bei Niangzi locked up." Li Xiuning smiled.

Talking and laughing, he entered the General's Mansion in the inner city.

In the room, there were all generals who were trustworthy by Li Chao, including Yuchi Gong, Niu Jinda, Luo Shixin, Li Xiuning, Su Lie and other groups of generals. Li Chao did not call any of the Turkic generals. He did not trust these Turkic generals for the time being, and even Li Chao did not call some of Li Jing's generals.

It is of great importance, and you have to act carefully.

"You said, will Tuli be deceived?"

Yuchi Gong leaned on the chair, sitting with a big sword, and said disdainfully, "Tuli is just a fool, otherwise he would not have been played with by our Tang Dynasty, fighting with Jie Li to death, and making wedding clothes for others for nothing. This is also a guy who gets along with the profit. He is now furious by Li Jing, and he chases Mayi in anger. But I know that even if Tuli has 100,000 troops, he will not want to forcefully capture Mayi, which Li Jing guards. He can't capture Mayi, and he will not quickly seize Yanmen. Li Jing is building a strong wall and clearing the countryside in Daibei, and he can't drag Ye Hu to the south. Therefore, I bet that once he hears that Lou Fanguan has such an opportunity, he will definitely come."

"Oh, is that so much sudden profit you want to bet, you will definitely come?" Shan Xiongxin and Yuchi Gong were not very good at dealing with each other, and they were on the same side. Back then, Shan Xiongxin protected Wang Shichong, while Yuchi Gong followed Li Shimin, and the two of them had a big fight. In terms of ability, Shan Xiongxin had to send Yuchi Gong a little, but Shan Xiongxin was not very convinced.

"I bet on one hundred gold coins!" Yuchi Gong said proudly. One hundred gold coins are worth eight hundred stale.

"You have the nerve to speak up one hundred golds? If you want to bet, bet a little more. I bet a thousand golds. Sudden profits will definitely come. Black man, do you dare to accept it?"

Yuchi Gong was so angry that he turned red. He just wanted to call him to pick him up, but then he felt something was wrong. He said that a sudden loss would come. Why did Shan Xiongxin bet? He wanted to pick him up, wouldn't he bet that he wouldn't bet?

I almost fell for a fool. This single dick is so insidious.

"If Tuli really comes, we have to be able to lock him up, lock him up, and eat him down. General Yuchi, General Shan, I will give you two a task, each bringing 10,000 troops, leaving the north exit, and ambushing outside the entrance. When Tuli is in the entrance, you will block the north entrance. In any case, Tuli cannot escape again. Can you do it?"

Yuchi Gong stood up all of a sudden.

"Master, block the north entrance. Just give me this task to Yuchi Gong alone. Why call others? Anyway, I'm alone."

Shan Xiongxin sneered and stood up.

"The wind is gone and your tongue is flashing. You have to make a draft first if you brag. If you want me to say, block the north entrance, you should give me this task. There are not many you, and there are not many without you."

The two of them immediately met with big eyes, like two bulls.

Li Chao waved his hand with a smile, "Okay, you don't have to fight, and my decision will not change, so you two will go together. Don't have quarrels here, that's what the women do. You two are both powerful generals with thousands of enemies, the generals in the court, or the ones who can see the truth on the battlefield, go together. Then it depends on which of you two performs better on the battlefield. There is no second in literature and no first in martial arts, and you will perform well yourself."

When the two heard this, they stopped arguing and sat down, and they both secretly competed, wanting to compete on the battlefield to see who is better.

"General Luo Shixin and General Niu Jinda, you two will lead 5,000 subordinates to ambush the valley to the west. Li Junxian, General Wu Heita, you two will lead 5,000 subordinates to ambush the valley to the east."

"I will be stationed in Phoenix City with the eldest princess and General Su Lie."

Now, everything is ready, and there is no east wind.

I hope that Zhang Zhongjian and Ke Qing, the master and apprentice, will fool Tuli.

"Report!"

"Report to the Grand Marshal, Teacher Ke will come back and reply, and he will be outside the mansion."

When Li Chao heard this, he was overjoyed. Ke Qing was back and it was time to see the plan.

"I will go to welcome you in person."

Li Chao and the generals came out of the general's mansion, and Ke Qing was standing there, exhausted.

"How?" Li Chao asked impatiently.

"The big thing has been done!" Ke Qing replied with a smile.

"Where is the Vietnamese Marquis?"

"In order to win the trust of Tuli, Master took the initiative to stay in Tuli camp. But please rest assured, my master will have his own way to escape at that time!"
