Chapter 587 Huo Zhu leads the army

Huo Zhu shook his head at Meng Gongzuo, and said: "The emperor didn't stipulate which city we should capture, anyway, we just need to win a battle..."

Meng Gong made a listen, then glanced at Wu Tu and the others, and then looked at the map for a long time.

On the map, across the border from Daizhou are Taiyuan Mansion and Zhending Mansion.

Taiyuan Mansion is guarded by the army of An Dynasty, theoretically speaking, it is not so easy to fight.On the other side of Zhending Mansion, Anchao's defense is relatively weak, but there is still a city between Daizhou and Zhending Mansion.

Huo Zhu pointed at the city between Daizhou and Zhending Mansion and said, "This is it. The location of this city is too important. It is located between Taiyuan and Zhending Mansion!"

"Military Master, don't do it!" Seeing Huo Zhu pointing at the city, Meng Gongzuo hurriedly said: "This city is called Dingxiang, and it was the place where Xiao Mo asked me to wait for the retreat. Now General Haer is still in Xiao Mo Xiao Mo said that if our army attacks this city, he will kill General Haer!"

It is well known that Meng Gongzuo and the five tiger generals are brothers and sisters, so it is no wonder that Meng Gongzuo's face changed when he saw Huo Zhu about to make up his mind!
Huo Zhu laughed, and said to Meng Gongzuo: "General Meng, if Xiao Mo wants to kill General Haer, I'm afraid he won't have to wait until now. With Xiao Mo's character, if he is creditable, General Haer should have already done so. Return Daliao to me, so General Meng doesn't have to worry!"

Huo Zhu's words seemed to have some truth, so Meng Gongzuo asked, "What does the military advisor mean?"

"Our attack on Dingxiang is the ultimate goal. Xiao Mo shouldn't be aware of it from the very beginning..." Huo Zhu thought for a while, and then said to Meng Gong: "General Meng, you lead a hundred thousand cavalry to circle around the plain Go to Tianya Mountain and lie in ambush in the woods. General Wu Tu, Dingxiang is now an empty city. Our military division will give you [-] light cavalry. Go around Dingxiang, and then lie in ambush in the woods next to Xinzhou. Come out and cut off the An army's back route. The other two generals, together with our military division, will charge forward and attack in the name of charge, and when the time comes, we will advance in three directions at the same time, and we will surely kill Xiao Mo by surprise!"

Meng Gongzuo nodded when he heard the words, and then said: "Don't worry, the military advisor, the subordinates will definitely live up to the entrustment of the military advisor!"

Huo Zhu nodded, then turned to Wu Tu and said, "Wu Tu, remember to send someone to check first, and don't let your people's whereabouts be revealed!"

Wu Tu nodded, and then took the token to count the troops.

The next day, spies came to report that Huo Zhu, a former army staff officer and governor of the Privy Council of the Liao Kingdom, personally led 20 Liao troops to attack Xinzhou.

Hearing this news, Xiao Mo immediately called Li Zhun, Liu Yuzhi, and all the generals to the camp where the matter was discussed.

Xiao Mo asked Li Zhun: "The Liao Kingdom claims to have an army of 50, why is it that less than half of them came this time?"

Li Zhun said: "In the art of war, what is true is what is false, and what is false is what is true. The answer to this question, I am afraid that Ziheng must know the answer to this question, right?"

Xiao Mo was not angry when he was defeated by Li Zhun, and then he smiled and said to everyone: "Huo Zhu is a complete womanizer. Only 50 of the 20 troops came. I don’t believe it either, but this time we want to fight out, even if the Liao army has an ambush, we still have to fight out!”

There is an ambush and you have to drill in?
The generals didn't understand, Xiao Mo explained: "It's rare for the Liao army to come out in full force. This is an opportunity, an opportunity to defeat them! So we must seize this opportunity. Next... how to fight, Everyone can share their opinions..."

Everyone looked at each other, and then fell into deep thought.

On the other hand, the memorial of Yelu Aluhan also arrived in Xijing.

In the memorial, Yelu Aluhan claimed that he had been ill recently. Fortunately, he knew that the former army staff officer, Mr. Huo, was loyal and courageous, and personally led an army of 40 to march south. He also praised Huo Zhu in the memorial.

This memorial fell into the hands of Yelu Hongji, and then into the hands of Zhang Xiaojie and Xiao Tianzuo.

In front of Yelu Hongji, Zhang Xiaojie and Xiao Tianzuo naturally didn't dare to make small movements, so they had to make eye contact.

The expressions of both of them were a bit ugly. Judging from the words in the memorial, it seemed that Yelu Aluhan and Huo Zhu had a very close relationship.

Could it be that Huo Zhu betrayed us?

Otherwise, why didn't Huo Zhu let Yelu Aluhan lead the troops, and wanted to deal with Xiao Mo's bad luck by himself?
Zhang Xiaojie and Xiao Tianzuo were worried about whether Huo Zhu would take refuge in Yelu Aluhan, while Yelu Hongji was worried about whether Huo Zhu could defeat Xiao Mo.

Yelu Hongji asked Zhang Xiaojie: "Zhang Aiqing, according to Aiqing, what are Huo Aiqing's chances of winning this battle?"

Zhang Xiaojie said: "Back to the emperor, Mr. Huo is the governor of the Privy Council, and he is a new official, so he has a strong momentum, so this battle depends on the veterans, it is really hard to say who will win and who will lose!"

Hearing Zhang Xiaojie's words, Xiao Tianzuo snorted coldly.

Of course Xiao Tianzuo didn't sneer at Zhang Xiaojie, he was brooding over the matter of Huo Zhu leading the army.

Hearing Zhang Xiaojie's words, Yelu Hongji's face softened a little, and then let Zhang Xiaojie and Xiao Tianzuo leave Xingyuan.

Except for those in Xingyuan, Xiao Tianzuo immediately went into a rage: "Master Zhang, Huo Zhu is really unreliable. In this way, all our plans will be messed up by him!"

Zhang Xiaojie also let out a long sigh, and then said: "This fool, I don't know why he actually helped this old thief, Yelu Aluhan, Huo Zhu misunderstood me..."

"Hmph!" Xiao Tianzuo said: "I think Huo Zhu is looking for death by himself, Xiao Mo has not lost any battles so far, others don't know how much he weighs in Huo Zhu, but I, Xiao Tianzuo, know it very well. He is a man of paper and has no experience in front of the battle, so relying on him to defeat Xiao Mo? Hehe...it's ridiculous!"

Hearing Xiao Tianzuo's words, Zhang Xiaojie's expression changed, and he said: "Tianzuo, I'm afraid you and I have to make preparations in advance, in case Huo Zhu is defeated, when the old thief Yelu Aluhan bites us back! "

Xiao Tianzuo nodded and said: "My lord, I'll go to the Privy Council to keep an eye on it. As for your lord..."

Zhang Xiaojie said: "I have my own calculations, and besides, Meier has been in the Huo Mansion for so long, I, the adoptive father, should also visit..."

Hearing Zhang Xiaojie's words, Xiao Tianzuo chuckled, and then said: "If that's the case, I will be your escort..."

Zhang Xiaojie smiled slightly at Xiao Tianzuo, and then the two came to Huo Zhu's house together.

Huo Zhu is an orphan, his parents died early, his wife was married when Huo Zhu had not yet made a fortune, and Huo Zhu also had three concubines.Huo Zhu is lustful, but he knows how to keep a low profile, so he doesn't have many wives and concubines.

Before Meier came to Huo Mansion, Huo Zhu only had one wife and two concubines. In this era, it is very rare for an official to have one wife and two concubines!
