Chapter 602 Luo Cheng's Madness
Luo Cheng only carries a light cavalry to serve the king, so he is extremely fast all the way.
Especially his cavalry, without baggage, everyone had two horses, each with a bag of sheepskin floss and two bags of fried rice, and some fine feed for horses to eat. Then every night when passing by the city along the way, they took the grass from the city to feed the horses, and the people rested under the city.
This does not require camping or transporting supplies. It can also be rotated by two horses, so that they can march at a speed of 200 miles a day.
Pass Linyu Pass and arrive at Zhuo County.
When he arrived at the city of Zhuo County, he learned that the head of Fanyang Prefecture Xue Shixiong had led his troops to go south to meet with Hebei pacification envoy Li Jing. At this time, there were only 4,000 infantry left in the former Zhuo County, which had been renamed Fanyang Prefecture, and were preparing to escort the baggage south.
It doesn't matter that Luo Cheng didn't see Xue Shixiong. After Fan Yang quickly took some supplies and rested, he decided to continue moving westward.
"Going west? Not going south?"
"Wouldn't we go to Jingxing, and not go to Taiyuan to meet Xue Shuai Li Shuai and his army to support the king?"
"We won't go to Taiyuan." Luo Cheng shook his head.
"Then are we going to Feigu Xing?"
The prefect of Liucheng Qu Tutong said worriedly, "But now the 41 cities in Yanmen and 39 cities have been trapped. Among them, Lingqiu City has also fallen into the hands of the Turks. If we go to Feiguxing, we will be blocked."
Luo Cheng nodded.
"It's true, so I neither plan to go to Jingxing nor Feiguxing. We go to Junduxing, go out of Jundu Pass, and go to Mayi along the Sanggan River."
"Go to Mayi? Is the general trying to get around the Turks?"
Many generals were amazed by Luo Cheng's bold plan, but they only had 12,000 cavalry, and even if they added the 8,000 cavalry of the Khitan and the Xi people, they would only be 20,000.
Twenty thousand cavalry circled behind the Turks, and it was afraid that there would be no great threat to Shibi, who was 300,000 cavalry.
"Master, the Turks have now completely occupied the Yanmen and Mayi counties. I want to remind the Master that Xixing Pass is now in the hands of the Turks." Duan Dada, deputy envoy of the Jiedushi.
Xixing Pass is the most important dangerous pass connecting Mayi and Yanmen. Even Xixing Pass is the real Yanmen Pass. The Yanmen where the emperor is surrounded is actually just the Yanmen County City.
Xixing Pass is very dangerous and guards a narrow valley passage.
The Turks occupied Xixing Pass. If Luo Cheng walked around to Mayi, Xixing Pass, which was a man who could not open ten thousand men, was unlikely to have the effect of raiding or threatening the Turks from behind.
If they are blocked by Xixing Pass at that time, they will be in vain.
Luo Cheng smiled at Duan Da.
Although this Duan Lao, although he is a veteran and confidant of the emperor, is far from being in war. Even Zhang Jincheng can't handle it, how can he understand his plan?
"Get the map."
The sheepskin map was spread out, and Luo Cheng first clicked at their current location Jicheng, then moved northwest, and walked out of Zhuojun along the Sanggan River to reach the most important Daoguan City, Junduguan.
Jundu Pass, also known as Jimen Pass, was also called Juyong Pass in later generations.
This is an important channel connecting Hedong and the north of the Pass.
After leaving Jundu Pass, he walked northwest along the Huailai Basin to the next generation Zhangjiakou, then turned southwest, and along the inner road of the Great Wall, all the way to Yunnei.
This is the Datong period in later generations. When Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang was surrounded by the Huns on Baideng Mountain, it was here. This place has always been an important town in the north. The Northern Wei Dynasty established by the Xianbei people once established its capital here.
"From the Great Wall from the clouds, heading north, passing Qifubo."
Duan Da followed Luo Cheng's finger route and looked at it for a long time, and the more he looked, the more surprised he became.
"Is the general going to Yanmen, but going out of the frontier instead?"
However, the appeaser Feng Lun saw Luo Cheng's intention, "Is the general trying to surround Wei and save Zhao and attack the Turkic Khan Court?"
The Turkic Khan's Khan had always been in the north of the desert before, but after the Qimin Khan surrendered, he was placed in the south of the desert by the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, since then, the Khan's Khan has been placed in the south of the desert south of Yinshan.
Although after Shibi Khan ascended the throne, the Turks in the eastern region became stronger and stronger, and Shibi also sent a patrol to the northern desert every year, the Khanate was still in the southern desert.
Its location is on the edge of Baidao at the foot of Yinshan Mountain in the south of the Mo. It was one of the six towns during the Northern Wei Dynasty. In later generations, this place was Hohhot.
A beautiful land in the south of the desert, with abundant water and grass, herds of cattle and sheep, and a good place to see cattle and sheep when the wind blows the grass low.
Although the Hetao land in the west was from the Sui Dynasty, the Mayi region in the south was also from the Sui Dynasty.
But the southern part of the desert outside the Great Wall of Mayi was from the Turks.
Even the Turks set up the Khanate here.
Luo Cheng's fingers were a little heavy in the Turkic Khan Courtyard.
"This is the Turkic Khan Court. This Khan Court was not built by the soldiers and civilians of the Great Sui Dynasty back then. Qimin and Shibi have always lived in the territory where our Great Sui Dynasty settled them, and lived in the city built for them by our Great Sui Dynasty. Now they betrayed the Great Sui Dynasty and planned to rob the Holy Lord?"
"This kind of thing cannot be tolerated, and we must teach you a lesson."
Duan Da interrupted Luo Cheng, "But now that His Majesty is trapped in Yanmen, he is in danger. Shouldn't we rush to Yanmen?"
Luo Cheng snorted.
"If the soldiers and horses go to Yanmen to serve the king, the nearest ones are like the soldiers from Taiyuan, the soldiers from Hebei, the soldiers from Fanyang, the farthest ones are like the soldiers from Xijing and Dongdu, and we are also coming. If we don't go there, it won't change much, but if we go to the Turkic Khan Court, it will be completely different."
"Now the Turkic Khan Court in the south of the Mori are empty. Shibi led 300,000 cavalry south. There are no people in the south of the Mori. Most of the young and strong men have gone south. Now there are only some people left behind, more of them are elderly, women, children, and countless cattle and sheep. So if we pass by 20,000 people, we can copy Shibi's hometown in one fell swoop. At that time, we can not only teach Shibi a lesson, but also force Shibi to retreat from Yanmen."
Qu Tutong, the prefect of Liucheng County, nodded.
This veteran general who has never been close to Luo Cheng among the counties outside the pass said, "I agree with Luo Shuai's plan. It is better to go out of the army to attack the Khanate in the south of the Mo area than to go to Taiyuan."
Duan Da was still hesitating there.
Qin Qiong, Luo Cunxiao, Xue Wanche, Cheng Yaojin, Pei Xingyan and other cavalry generals finally couldn't help but feel excited.
"Damn it, let them dare to go south to surrounded Yanmen. This time we will copy his lair and destroy his Khanate."
Cheng Yaojin laughed and said, "I was not in the battle of Luo Shuai capturing the Gaoyuan battle in Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo, and I, old Cheng, could finally catch the Khanate of the Turks. I am happy to catch the Khans. Then I will definitely catch a few Turkic Khan's daughters to make the bed and fold the quilts to see what's different from the Goguryeo concubine."
All the generals were bold and agreed with Luo Cheng's adventure plan.
