Chapter 1790: Conspiracy Against Li Cunxiao (Part II)

The 70,000 army is not a small number, no matter how Li Shimin is trying to cover it up, the crossing of the army will inevitably set up clues, but the current position has not been found, or it is found in the wrong direction.

In fact, from the very beginning, Yue Fei's search direction was wrong, he felt that if Li Tang wanted to hide his traces, he would definitely retreat in the direction of Hanzhong or Shangyong, so he asked the spies to explore in the direction of the two places, but in fact, the Tang army retreated in the direction of Wuguan.

The Qin army spies searched all the roads in the direction of Shangyong and Hanzhong, but still found no trace of the Tang army, only one Wuguan direction remained, and as a result, they found traces of the march of the army on the road to Wuguan.

Although the traces found by the Qin army's spies were actually not obvious, and there were traces that were covered, they also happened to show that the army must have passed by.

Yue Fei was shocked when he learned about it, he didn't expect that the Tang army would retreat into Wuguan, but then there were more puzzles and doubts, that is, what was the purpose of the Tang army's retreat to Wuguan?

A hint of discoloration flashed in Liu Ye's eyes, but he said with some uncertainty: "Could it be that the Tang army has already given up Nanxiang and is ready to concentrate on breaking through Hangu Pass?" ”

Before Yue Fei could speak, Qin Wu directly vetoed: "How is this possible.

The defense of Hangu Pass is far stronger than that of Nanxiang City, not only has 20,000 elite guards, but also has General Li Cunxiao personally sitting in the town.

Even if the Tang army sent 200,000 troops, it would not be possible to capture it in less than three months, and it would only take half a month for Luoyang's reinforcements to arrive at Hangu Pass.

If Tang Jun had this ability, would he still be defeated under Wuxiang City? ”

As soon as these words came out, all the generals present nodded their heads in agreement.

What Qin Wu said is indeed reasonable, regardless of the number of Hangu Pass itself and the number of defenders, let's just talk about Li Cunxiao.

Since the fall of Xiang Yu, Li Cunxiao defeated Li Yuanba openly, and now he is recognized as the world's number one fierce general.

Therefore, how could Hangu Pass, which has the world's number one fierce general, be breached within half a month?

All normal people will definitely think so, but in addition to normal people present, there are also wise people like Fang Xuanling and Liu Ye, who obviously don't think so.

In the eyes of Fang Xuanling and Liu Ye, whether Li Cunxiao is strong or not has nothing to do with whether Hangu Pass will fall, so how can he be sure of it?

"No, Hangu Pass is not without flaws."

A hint of solemnity flashed in Fang Xuanling's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "General Li Cunxiao is the biggest flaw in Hangu Pass. ”

As soon as these words came out, most of the people present, including Yue Fei, frowned, and Qin Wu said in a cold voice: "The military advisor said cautiously, General Li Cunxiao has been guarding Hangu Pass for many years, and I don't know how many opportunities he has missed to make meritorious contributions, but he has never complained, how could he betray the lord." ”

Fang Xuanling was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly explained: "The general misunderstood, General Li Cunxiao is loyal, so it is naturally impossible to rebel, which means that Li Tang has a conspiracy against General Li Cunxiao, which may eventually lead to the fall of Hangu Pass." ”

"That's right."

Qin Wu showed a sudden expression, and said embarrassedly: "Strategist, you have said everything, who would not misunderstand such a word like gold?"

Hey, this is not right, you must know that since General Li Cunxiao fought with the lord, the battle must be defeated, and he has not lost a single battle so far.

What kind of conspiracy can Li Tang have that can make General Li Cunxiao, who is on the defensive, lose Hangu Pass within half a month, and he can't even wait for reinforcements? ”

"I'm going to ask Li Shimin."

Fang Xuanling wanted to answer for Qin Wu, but unfortunately, he didn't know what Tang Jun's conspiracy was, but he also had his own judgment.

"Since the traces of the Tang army have been found in the direction of Wuguan, it proves that the target of the Tang army must be Hangu Pass, although I don't know what Li Tang's conspiracy is, Li Tang must have the certainty of breaking through Hangu Pass, but only in this way can it be explained why Li Tang abandoned Nanxiang and retreated from Wuguan."

At this time, Fang Xuanling's face suddenly changed as if he remembered something, and he asked anxiously: "Metropolitan Governor, how many days have passed since the Tang army withdrew?" ”

"Ten days."

Yue Fei subconsciously replied, but then asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong with the military division? ”

"Ten days?"

Fang Xuanling's voice became louder, and he muttered: "Go to Wuguan and enter the customs, and you will already arrive at Tongguan in ten days." ”

Yue Fei suddenly changed color, and hurriedly said: "Quick, quickly fly the pigeon to send a letter to General Li Cunxiao, reminding him that Li Tang's target may be Hangu Pass." ”

"This ......"

The spy showed a look of embarrassment, and said: "Qiyu Metropolitan Governor, the carrier pigeons in Nanxiang can only go to Luoyang, but the carrier pigeons that go to Hanguguan are only available in Luoyang." ”

"Then fly the pigeon and pass the book to Luoyang."

Ordinary carrier pigeons can fly six or seven hundred kilometers a day, and after training, carrier pigeons can travel thousands of miles a day, while Nanxiang is less than a thousand miles away from Luoyang, and the military carrier pigeons of the Qin army can pass Luoyang in less than a day.

Yue Fei watched the carrier pigeon fly in the direction of Luoyang, and muttered to himself, "You must catch up." ”

It was already late at night when the carrier pigeon flew to Luoyang, but it scared the sleepy-eyed Jia Xu into a cold sweat.

Fang Xuanling and Liu Ye can't see what Li Tang's conspiracy is, can Jia Xu, who is good at conspiracy and trickery, still not be able to see it?

As long as Li Cunxiao's character weaknesses are found, Jia Xu has a hundred ways to deceive Li Cunxiao, or provoke Hanguguan.

There are no generals with the slightest character weakness, so far Jia Xu only knows two, that is, Bai Qi and Li Jing, can Li Cunxiao compare with these two people? Apparently not.

In Jia Xu's eyes, forty percent of the reason why Xiongguan is strong lies in the level itself, but sixty percent lies in the generals guarding the pass.

Yong will guard the pass, even if he is guarding the first pass in the world, he will not be able to stop the enemy.

A good general can defend, even if there is no level, with only a large battalion, he can still block the enemy.

Li Cunxiao is naturally a good general, but he has obvious character weaknesses, once it is really discovered and targeted, this will undoubtedly be a fatal crisis for the Hangu defenders.

"Quick, immediately fly the pigeon and pass the book to Li Cunxiao, tell him the news that Li Tang's army is targeting Hangu Pass, and let him not go out of the customs to fight."

Jia Xu said with a serious face, he has always been the same as Mount Tai collapsed, and at this time, there was also a sense of urgency and crisis in his heart.

Jia Xu sent three batches of carrier pigeons in a row, but he was still not at ease, and recruited the generals led by Qin Jian overnight, and said in a deep voice: "The old man has calculated the time, and the flying pigeon is probably too late."

In case Hangu Pass is really breached, if the west gate of Sizhou falls, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Therefore, just in case, the old man decided to send troops overnight to rescue Hangu Pass. ”
