A map of Luzhou was spread out in front of everyone, and everyone's eyes were on Gongsun Changming, especially Tian Lingzi and Li Hai. In the previous military operations, it was basically up to the three-person group of Gongsun Changming, Liu Ruyan, and Tuhu to decide how to go and how to fight, even if Li Hai was now leading the 5,000 reorganized Shence Army, he did not squeeze into this circle. Therefore, the two of them also felt that this time Liu Ruyan brought the two of them to participate in the military meeting.

It's okay to find Li Hai, after all, he now has a team in his hands, but Tian Lingzi has nothing except for dozens of generals.

"Everybody, they thought we were going to run." Gongsun Changming looked at everyone with a smile and said, "But they all guessed wrong, if it was just a flight, why did we need to maintain such a large army?" It seems that there are many people, but in fact, the goal is also bigger. We're pretty much surrounded on all sides now, aren't we? ”

Li Hai couldn't help but nodded.

"Now behind us, there are more and more pursuers from Weizhou, according to intelligence, Zhu Youzhen has basically evacuated the troops in Weizhou and other places, and it seems that he is unwilling to put us to death." Gongsun Changming said: "And the opponent's judgment is that we must flee in the direction of Changzhi and Tunliu, because that side is close to Hedong, and Han Qi's main force is not far from these two places, so ah, in Changzhi, Tunliu, Tian Yue's department is arranged with heavy troops, among which in Changzhi, Tian Ping will bring 10,000 troops to station, just waiting for us to run into it!" ”

"It's not that you can't fight!" Li Haidao: "Now our troops are not less than them, if we fight with Han Shuai back and forth, we still have a great chance of winning." ”

"It can't be said that there is no chance of winning, but it is also easy to make a pot of raw rice, if we can't fight down, but are entangled by our hands, Zhu Youzhen pounced, but it will be trouble." Gongsun Changming said.

"Mr. Gongsun, just say it directly, what should I do?" Tian Lingzi was a little impatient and a little uneasy, he was very familiar with some of Gongsun Changming's routines, once he started to pave the way for a long speech, what happened next would inevitably be extremely dangerous.

Sure enough, Gongsun Changming said: "We have received the order of the marshal, so we will not go in the direction of Changzhi Tunliu, but go to take the Huguan." ”

Tian Lingzi couldn't help but be stunned, and Li Hai also looked at Gongsun Changming a little sluggishly.

Huguan is a dangerous terrain and is the gateway to Luzhou, but the question is, what is the role of them in taking Huguan? The Luzhou Tianping in front was heavily stationed, and when Zhu Youzhen in the rear came up, everyone became the turtle in Wengzhong, and when the time came, there was no place to run.

"What are you doing when you take the pot?" Li Hai asked: "Could it be that after we take the Huguan, where will we hold on and wait for help?" ”

Gongsun Changming laughed: "General Li really has the posture of a bright general, in a word." After taking the pot pass, we are going to hold on to where we are. ”

Tian Lingzi was shocked when he heard this: "Gongsun, are you joking with Your Majesty's safety?" At that time, the pot will become a place of death, and it will become a prison? Luzhou Tian Yue, Weizhou Zhu Youzhen, one on both sides, we can't escape. ”

"Why run away!" Gongsun Changming smiled contemptuously: "We are in Huguan, and then Huguan will be like a magnet, attracting more and more enemies to attack, hahaha, as long as we are strong enough to hold Huguan, the enemy's fate will not be good." In the service, this is a strategic decision that Li Shuai and Han Shuai discussed together that has a bearing on the overall situation, and we must solve the enemy in Luzhou in one fell swoop. ”

"You, you dare to use His Majesty the Emperor as bait?" Tian Lingzi said tremblingly.

"Aren't the handsome mothers, children, and wives here?" Gongsun Changming said sharply: "His Majesty the dignified Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, how can he appear in front of the people who support him like a refugee, like a flower child, at this time, His Majesty the Emperor should stand up bravely and let his dazzling light illuminate the entire Luzhou, the more conspicuous we are here, the more beneficial it will be to the overall situation." ”

Hearing this, Li Hai already understood that it was impossible to change this matter. Now that General Li and Han Shuai have made a decision together, it is a foregone conclusion. He looked down at Huguan and said, "General Gongsun, the location of Huguan is dangerous, as long as there is enough grain and grass, it is no problem to guard him for a few months." Now our department plus Qianniuwei, there are tens of thousands of people, and there are enough people. But now I wonder how we can fight the Huguan with 3,000 people stationed? We can hold the kettle pass, and of course the enemy can hold it. ”

"Now that we have made this plan, we will naturally be able to win the pot pass!" Gongsun Changming said: "General Li doesn't need to doubt this. ”

"In that case, I don't have any doubts, just obey the military orders." Li Hai nodded.

Gongsun Changming said: "Okay, since that's the case, I'll start arranging military affairs." Tian Shizhong. ”

Tian Zizhong was a little unguarded, and he raised his head in surprise when he heard this: "Ah, is there anything else about me?" ”

"Of course, you have to stabilize His Majesty the Emperor, you don't have to let His Majesty the Emperor know about this matter first, and then tell Your Majesty about it after we take the Huguan." Gongsun Changming said.

"Understood." Hearing that he was just going to coax the emperor, Tian Lingzi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Madame led 600 elites from the headquarters, Tu Hu led 200 people from the headquarters, General Li, you dispatched 200 elites who are absolutely trustworthy, and went with Madame to raid Huguan." Gongsun Changming continued.

"A thousand?" Li Hai's eyes narrowed.

"Chen Bing, Chu Sheng took two thousand thousand Niu Wei, first dragged behind the rear army in a broken attitude, and then turned to the direction of Huguan after dark."

"I, the lieutenant general, led the large army still in the direction of Changzhi and Tunliu to confuse the enemy." Gongsun Changming said with a smile: "When you take the Huguan, we will come back." The whole army was stationed in Huguan. ”

There is Baigu Mountain in the north of Huguan, there is Shuanglong Mountain in the south, the two mountains confront each other, the middle partition is broken, the mountain shape resembles a pot, and the mouth of the pot is the pass, so it is named Huguan. Its steepness is naturally self-evident, which is why Li Hai changed color when he heard Gongsun Changming say that he was going to attack Huguan.

There are thousands of people stationed here, and if they want to lay the mouth of the pot, there is basically no other way than to fill it with human lives. Even if there are several times the strength of the defenders, I am afraid that it will be difficult to take the Huguan. For them now, once they can't take it, the enemy army who heard the news will block them here, but there is really no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground.

But Gongsun Changming is confident.

This kind of self-confidence is not only based on the opponent's misjudgment of their strategic objectives, but also on the fact that the current Zhaoyi region itself is full of problems.

Wei Bo annexed Zhaoyi, and also integrated the Zhaoyi army of the original Xue brothers, but with the death of Tian Chenghei and the entry of the Xuanwu forces, the Zhaoyi people naturally had their own ideas, and the contradictions between them and the Tian family also faintly appeared. More importantly, although this army founded by Xue Song, the king of Yanping County, has passed for many years, there are still many people in the army who are truly loyal to the Xue family.

The lord of Huguan will be Tian Ji, a member of the Tian clan. But the deputy general is a Zhaoyi veteran Su Qun. Of the 3,000 troops in Huguan, Wei Bobing accounted for two-thirds and Zhaoyi accounted for one-third.

At this moment, Su Qun was standing at the head of the city, looking at Tian Ji who was leading two thousand Wei Bo soldiers to leave Huguan, with a smile on his face, he kept waving his hand to Tian Ji. As a veteran with gray hair and beard, Su Qun partnered with Tian Ji, did not fight or grab, everything was based on Tian Ji, and the two got along very well.

Tian Ji looked back and saw the veteran above the city, and also smiled and waved. At this time, if he knew who the knife-wielding soldier standing beside Su Qun was, he was afraid that he would be so frightened that a cold sweat would ooze from his back.

That person was Xue Ping.

"Childe, how do you know that Tian Ji will definitely leave Huguan?" Su Qun wiped his white beard, looked at Xue Ping, and said.

"Because they're going to besiege His Majesty the Emperor!" Xue Ping smiled and said, "Zhu Youzhen has given such a stern order, and the Tian brothers also have their own plans, of course they will spare no effort to take down His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"Is there any difference?"

"Absolutely." Xue Ping said with a smile: "The Zhu family wants to kill the emperor, but now they don't want to live, and the Tian brothers, on the contrary, they want to capture the emperor alive, and then they can live in strange goods." ”

"What about our Xue Clan?" Su Qun then asked.

"Xue?" A wry smile appeared on Xue Ping's face: "The Xue family's opinion doesn't matter now, no one cares what they think. ”

"But Zhaoyi was originally ours." Su Qun said indignantly.

"So what? Without strength, everything is in vain. Xue Ping said: "But Tian Ji is gone, but he will never come back." This pot off, from now on, is yours. ”

"No, it's yours, Childe. Childe, what do we do next? Su Qun asked.

"Tonight, you will mobilize your people and wipe out all the people left in the pass by Tian Ji, don't let anyone get away!" Xue Ping said. "Hold the pot firmly in your hand, three or four at most, and important people will arrive here, Su Qun, have you ever thought about being able to meet the emperor in your life?"

Su Qun laughed and said, "Childe said that he was joking, I have a little tooth ......."

Speaking of this, Su Qun's smile froze suddenly: "You, are you saying that the emperor will come here?" ”

Xue Ping smiled and said: "Huguan, you are about to become famous in the world, and your Su Qun's name will also spread all over the world." Old Su Qun, when the dust of this battle settles, you will have to run in time. Maybe I can fight a big general in the future, Hou Ye or something. ”
