Chapter 803: Du Ruhui of Fang Mou Du Xuan

After Li Shimin led the 150,000 army into Sizhou, the first thing he did was to take over the military power of the 150,000 army in Sizhou.

At the military and political meeting, Li Shimin looked at Yang Jian and asked with a serious face: "Uncle Yang, how is the current strength of Sizhou equipped?" ”

In this life, Li Yuan and Yang Jian are friends, and Li Shimin and Yang Guang are also good friends, and it is natural for Li Shimin to call Yang Jian an uncle.

Li Shimin, a nephew, restrained himself in turn, although Yang Jian was extremely dissatisfied in his heart, he did not show it, and replied after pondering for a while: "At present, there are 60,000 Tiger Prison Passes, 20,000 Yique Pass, Xuanyuan Pass, Guangcheng Pass, and Mengjin Pass, and 10,000 Luoyang Pass. ”

In fact, there is another pass after the Tiger Prison Pass, which is called Otani Pass.

Although Dagu Pass is not as good as Tiger Prison Pass, it is also one of the famous Xiongguan in the world.

At the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Bai Qi relied on the steepness of Dagu Pass to forcibly surrender the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops under Chen Youliang, and finally became famous in the first battle.

In the defection of prisoners of war, Dagu Pass was taken away by Yellow Turban prisoners of war, and then a piece of the city wall was hammered down by Li Yuanba.

At this time, Dong Zhuo also realized that in the continuous high-intensity offensive and defensive battles, the foundation of Dagu Pass had been very seriously damaged, and he could no longer bear the heavy responsibility of the gate of Sizhou.

The Tiger Prison Pass, which had not yet been rebuilt, was destroyed in the Second Battle of the Tiger Pass.

The two gates to the east of Sizhou were all destroyed in the war, and for Sizhou, the burden of rebuilding the two Xiongguan at one time was too great, but it was really impossible to rebuild them as a gateway.

After struggling for a long time, Yang resolutely decided to temporarily abandon Dagu Pass, and made every effort to build a tiger prison pass that defended more than the past, and after it was built, he concentrated manpower and material resources to rebuild Dagu Pass.

But who would have thought that after the reconstruction of the Tiger Prison Pass, Dagu Pass had just been completed, and Qin Hao organized an alliance to fight over.

At this time, there is only one pass left between Sizhou and Yanzhou.

The reason why the Dong coalition army concentrated on the sour jujube was not only because the sour jujube was the closest to the Tiger Prison Pass, but also because they only needed to break through the Tiger Prison to directly attack Luoyang.

If you attack Sizhou from the south, you will need to break through at least two Xiongguan in a row to attack Luoyang, so the casualties will definitely increase greatly, so of course you have to take the road of the Eastern Tiger Pass.

"Is there only 60,000 troops in the Tiger Prison Pass?"

A hint of color flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, and he said to himself in some surprise: "The strength of the princes' alliance army is as high as 550,000, so the strength may not be able to forcibly capture the tiger prison, why didn't Qin Hao attack the fortification before my reinforcements arrived?" ”

"The composition of the coalition formed by the thirty-six princes is too chaotic to form an effective combat force if it is not integrated."

After Yang Jian pondered for a while, he said as a matter of course: "Qin Hao probably wants to have stronger combat power after integration, and the loss of attacking the Tiger Prison will also be minimized." ”

"But after my 150,000 reinforcements arrived, it was even more difficult for the princes' coalition to capture the tiger prison? It is impossible for Qin Hao not to understand such an obvious truth. Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

"This ......"

Yang Jian was speechless when asked, and at the same time found that there was indeed something wrong with this.

Qin Hao's 14th army has won a hundred battles, and it is impossible not to understand that waiting for the 150,000 Liang army to arrive at sight-reading is an act of delaying combat effectiveness.

At this time, a middle-aged literati below smiled at Li Shimin and said, "Lord, if his subordinates are not mistaken, Qin Hao should have a deeper purpose in doing this." ”

"Oh?"

Li Shimin's eyes lit up suddenly, and he hurriedly said: "The military advisor also asks to come quickly." ”

Yang Jian was suddenly shocked in his heart, military advisor? This person is actually Li Shimin's military advisor? Li Shimin dared to set up a military division?

The military advisor is also the mastermind, who thinks and plans for the monarch.

In this era, the official position of a military advisor may not be the highest, but it means that one person is below and above ten thousand.

Dong Zhuo has Li Ru and Jia Xu, Qin Wen has drama Zhicai, Qin Hao has Liu Bowen, Fang Xuanling, etc......

Generally, except for the princes, small warlords are not qualified to set up military divisions, and although Li Shimin is a prince, after all, he is still under the command of Dong Zhuo, but he can set up a military division in a grand manner?

In this regard, Yang Jian just wants to say: the guts are really fat.

Anyway, Yang Jian didn't dare to do this, and if this caused Dong Zhuo's jealousy, then even if he didn't die, he would definitely shed his skin.

Thinking that Li Shimin was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Yang Jian was relieved.

Dong Zhuo's only son, Dong Li, died tragically at the hands of Xiang Yu during the first Battle of Tiger Prison Pass, and Dong Zhuo is now sowing seeds everywhere but has no harvest.

Dong Zhuo's age is not young, and someone must inherit this huge foundation, and the only ones who are qualified to inherit Dong Zhuo's foundation are those sons-in-law and nephews, and the one with the greatest possibility is Li Shimin.

Dong Zhuo will give Li Shimin such a big right, I am afraid that he is also cultivating Li Shimin as an heir, so how can he care about the trivial matter of Li Shimin establishing a military division?

As soon as he thought of this, Yang Jian was extremely unwilling in his heart, and he also wanted Yang Guanglai to inherit Dong Zhuo's foundation, so he did not hesitate to propose to Dong Zhuo with a cheeky face.

As long as Yang Guang also becomes Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, then he will have the opportunity to compete fairly with Li Shimin.

But who knew that Dong Zhuo's youngest daughter, Dong Xiaowan, disliked Yang Guang too much, and would rather die than marry Yang Guang, so Dong Zhuo loved his daughter and politely rejected Yang Jian.

Returning to business, Yang Jian looked at the other party carefully and asked, "Who is this gentleman?" ”

"In the lower Du Ruhui."

"It turned out to be Mr. Du, long admiration, long admiration." Yang Jian smiled, but there was a faint jealousy in his heart.

Because Yang Jian had heard of this name, he was very famous in the land of Guanxi, and he even refused Dong Zhuo's expedition, but he didn't expect to take refuge in Li Shimin.

Facing the enthusiastic Yang Jian, a hint of discoloration flashed in Du Ruhui's eyes, and then he looked at Li Shimin and said in a deep voice: "Lord, if it is not bad as expected by his subordinates, Qin Hao should have deliberately waited for the lord to come over." ”

"But why is that?" Li Shimin asked suspiciously.

Du Ruhan sneered and said lightly: "If our reinforcements do not arrive, our army's strength is far inferior to the enemy's, even if Qin Hao is the leader of the alliance, he can only let the coalition army attack Luoyang, after all, the casualties of such an attack will definitely be the smallest."

And if our reinforcements arrive, attacking the Tiger Prison Pass will fall into a war of attrition, and the casualties of the forced attack will be too great, and Qin Hao can also divide the troops openly and drive the coalition forces to attack other checkpoints. ”

Li Shimin's own intelligence is also extremely high, Du Ruhui gave a slight hint, and he immediately figured out the key.

"So ......"

Li Shimin's face became gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Qin Hao wants to borrow the power of the princes to capture the eight passes of Luoyang, so as to occupy the four counties of Sizhou." ”
