The map spread out, and countless pairs of eyes pounced. Everyone was calm, and looked at Yuwentai as a very saying.

Yuwentai's eyes were blazing, starting from the opposite bank of Pu Hanjin, first pulling west to Feng Yicheng, and then all the way to the south, you will see (north) Luoshui crossing. If you go further south, it is a small plain between Luoshui and Weihe, called Xu Yuan. Continue south from Xu Yuan, then you will arrive at a peculiar place called Shayuan on the north bank of the Wei River. Cross the Wei River from Shayuan South, that is, to Weinan County, where along the Wei River all the way to the west, about 300 miles, to Chang'an.

No matter where Pei Guo wants to retreat, in short, he can't get out of this route.

Yu Wentai looked at the west of Tongguan and the south bank of the Wei River on the map, which was where he stood at the moment. If it is said that the Huazhou army has already set off, then the easiest way to join it is to go straight west along the Wei River. When he walked for about 100 miles, the place where the routes of the two armies converged was Shayuan!

Yu Wentai's eyes did not leave the map, and his mouth was silent, for a long time. Everyone couldn't guess what he was going to do, they were all puzzled, and there was a person who was in a hurry, rubbing his hands next to him again and again, and even stomped his feet, and kept muttering: "It's not good for the prime minister to rub it down any longer, and if you don't move your body, the danger of the river will really be gone." ”

"I kind of get it." Yu Wentai finally looked away from the map and opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't say anything to the generals in the field, but he was asking the envoy of Huazhou: "Your envoy wants to go south to join me, but did you say where you want to retreat to stay temporarily?" ”

The envoy hurriedly replied: "Pei Yuanjun didn't say where it was, but he said it first, saying that he was determined not to defend Huazhou, but he would never retreat far to Chang'an." Pei Yuanjun said, where to retreat in the end, where to meet with the prime minister, it is all up to the prime minister to decide! ”

"Sure enough!" Yu Wentai's face actually bloomed with a smile at this time, and he said: "I'll just say, Xiaokuan, the first bold person in the world, how can he be afraid of that high thief?" ”

When the generals heard this, they became more and more confused, and looked at Yuwentai one by one in a daze, feeling very anxious. He Batsheng couldn't help but exclaim: "I said black otter, don't play dumb riddles, okay?" If you have something to say, say it quickly. ”

Yu Jin guessed a little, and said with a smile: "If you want me to say, Xiaokuan's plan, most of them are still in one place with the prime minister, just as Chengxing (Da Xiwu table) said, it is good to use strength in one place." ”

"Isn't that nonsense? Who doesn't know this? He Batshengqi said: "I abandoned Hengnong and retreated to Guanzhong, originally to go to Huazhou to join forces with him Pei Xiaokuan. In this case, why don't you defend the west bank of the river together, but retreat west and avoid south? This saw that the thief was about to cross the river... Don't forget, that's a huge crowd of 200,000. If there is no natural danger in hand, with a total of less than 30,000 men and horses in our two armies, how can we win the battle head-on? ”

All the generals felt that what He Batsheng said was reasonable, and they all pressed Yuwentai to ask: "Prime Minister!" Go north or retreat west, you should hurry up and get an idea! ”

"Retreat west!" Yuwentai's voice was like thunder, and the two words were categorical.

Everyone was shocked, and when they were about to compete for advice, they heard Yu Wentai already tell the story: "This time, the total number of soldiers who can fight in my Guanzhong is less than 30,000, even if they defend along the river, most of them will fall into a bitter battle." But the wheels of the thieves are coming, and under the hard support of our army, the chance of retreating from the enemy does not seem to be high. In this case, it is better to simply let the thief cross the river. The high thief saw that I abandoned Hengnong first, and then lost the first line of the river, and even the whole Huazhou was gone, hehe, I expected that he would have the heart of underestimating the enemy, and at that time, our army would have an opportunity to take advantage of. ”

"Even so, the East Thieves are 200,000 after all, and once they enter the Guanzhong, the consequences are unpredictable." The generals still have doubts.

Yuwentai laughed: "In ancient times, when was there a scene where 200,000 people were crowded together to fight? Even the heavenly immortals, that can't take care of it. The thief is eager for revenge, and once he crosses the river, he will definitely advance lightly. The thieves do not know the terrain of my pass, and at that time, I should gather the whole army and lie in ambush at the important place and attack it head-on. But after breaking the front of the Eastern Thief, I expect that the rest of the army will be chaotic, and our army only needs to chase and kill with the tail rank, and the Eastern Thief will not say 200,000, so he will double again, so what is there to fear? ”

Yu Jin timely interface: "In the past, there was the Qin King Fu Jian, who had great martial arts, unified the north, and raised millions of people to attack the Jin in the south. And the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom in front of them were only 80,000 people. As a result, in the next battle of Shouyang City, only because of the defeat of the Qin army's front army, it led to the destruction of millions of troops, and in the end, even Fu Jian himself died for it. Therefore, there is a historical mirror to learn from the prime minister's plan, and all the gentlemen should not doubt it, and work together to fight bravely! ”

I see! The generals suddenly realized that they only hated reading too few books on weekdays.

Hou Mo Chen Chong shook his head and muttered to himself: "I have also read the story of Fu Jian's defeat in the Southern Expedition, why didn't I think of this stubble at this time?" Hey, I'm not as good as the prime minister, not as good as Yu Sijing, and even worse than Xiaokuan Agan. ”

He Batsheng was actually a little unconvinced in his heart, but seeing that Yu Wentai had already made up his mind, and the generals were also obedient, he had no choice but to give up, but secretly thought: That's it, and let the thief come over! But with a horse lance in my hand, I will never teach the thief to cross the Wei River in the south!

At that moment, Yuwentai ordered the whole army to throw themselves west, and after traveling a hundred miles, they crossed the Wei River north by a bridge and arrived at Shayuan. He also summoned the envoy of Huazhou, gave an explanation, and asked Pei Guo to lead his troops south to meet in Shayuan.

The messenger took the command and departed.

。。。。。。

Shayuan, also known as Shahai, is connected to Xuyuan in the north, the Weihe River in the south, the vast Weibei Plain in the west, and the Weiqu in the east. In the land of Guanzhong, both sides of the Wei River are plains and vast fields, full of greenery, but this sand garden has a peculiar landform, although it is not an inch of grass, but it is a continuous sand dune. It is eighty miles from east to west, thirty miles from north to south, the outer convex sand and grass are mixed, and the middle concave is the valley, and the whole territory is wind-blown and sandy, and it cannot be cultivated.

On the 24th of the leap month, Yuwentai's department crossed the Wei River north and entered Shayuan.

Yuwentai ordered the pontoon bridge behind him to be burned to show the heart of "breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, so that the east thief will not invade Chang'an in the south". Having said that, the baggage and logistics are left on the south bank, and the ships can carry them and can be sent to the front line at any time.
