Chapter Seventy-Seven: Target Luokoucang
"General, will it be too late for us to send troops at this time? And we brought all the foot soldiers, and when we arrived in Luoyang, it was estimated that the war would be over. Qin Qiong asked Li Jing suspiciously, Licheng is not far from Luoyang but not close, and after sending troops, it is estimated that there will be nothing for them to do when they arrive in Luoyang, so Qin Qiong has this question.
"What Uncle Bao said also makes sense, but you have to pay attention, who is Yang Xuangan? If he were an ordinary person, it would be okay, then he would definitely be defeated before we could meet him in a short battle, but is it that simple for Yang Xuangan? At least he's been planning for a long time, and he won't run out of retreats, so don't worry about us running out of soup to drink. Li Jing said.
"It's good to have a fight, I've been holding back for a long time, it's been some time since the last time I swept Zhen Baoche's thieves, and my hands have long been itchy." Cheng Yanjin was very excited when he heard that there was a fight.
"Don't worry, you're going to fight this battle." Li Jing said faintly, no, he was saying that this expedition against Yang Xuangan was still in the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty in the future, but Qin Qiong could still hear some of it.
"Yang Xuangan's defeat is doomed, not that the imperial army's army is too strong, but his strategy at the beginning is to force himself to die, you can choose which, you can't choose to capture Luoyang, it is best to choose to capture Zhuojun, in that case, you can block the imperial army outside the fortress, once the imperial army cannot suppress the rebellion in time, then maybe there will be chaos inside and outside the court, and the troubled times will come in advance." Li Jing continued, while Cheng Biting Jin looked puzzled, but Qin Qiong lowered his head and thought about what Li Jing said.
"Shubao, in your opinion, where will Yang Xuangan lead troops if he can't capture Luoyang?" Li Jing saw that Qin Qiong was silent and asked, because Qin Shubao was a relatively good military talent he had met, and he liked it very much, and Yang Jun also asked him to slowly cultivate Qin Shubao.
"According to the last general, if Yang Xuangan can't attack Luoyang for a long time, then it is very likely to go east or west." Qin Shubao thought for a while and replied.
"Oh~, how can you see it?"
"If I were Yang Xuangan, in Luoyang was frustrated, and the northern imperial army was approaching, I would definitely withdraw my troops, of course, the north can't go, and the south obviously won't work, the northern soldiers will be difficult to adapt to the southern climate in a short period of time, once the situation occurs, it will be self-defeating."
"Although there is resistance to the east and west, it is much better than the north and south, so the subordinates feel that Yang Xuangan is more likely to go to the west, and there is no danger to defend to the east, otherwise the general will not lead us to battle." Qin Shubao analyzed them one by one.
"Well, Shubao analyzed it well, and imagined the situation between himself and his opponent, which is completely correct and indispensable at this time, but you forget one thing, Yang Xuangan is not alone, and there are many people in other places who have also responded, for example, Liu Yuanjin, a native of Yuhang, and Han Xiangguo, who has 100,000 people and is attacking Xiangcheng, are the objects of Yang Xuangan's convergence, so those who are commanders should not only consider their own advantages and disadvantages, but also consider the advantages and disadvantages of their opponents, especially the control of news, Otherwise, the prince would not have spent so much energy to build an intelligence system, which is what the prince said in the book of soldiers that if he wants to win thousands of miles away, only the news is in his hands first. DID YOU KNOW? "Li Jingzun is kind and seductive.
"Yes, the last will remember!" Qin Shubao solemnly saluted Li Jing, Li Jing is teaching himself, that is something that can be met but not sought, how many generals can only be generals, and there are very few handsome. And Cheng Yanjin also bowed his head and pondered.
"Let's go, since Uncle Bao has analyzed it clearly, then there is no need for us to follow others and eat dust, the whole army will speed up and wait for Yang Xuangan in front!" Li Jing gave the order.
The 50,000-strong army marched at full speed, trying to give Yang Xuan a little gift on the way to defeat and retreat.
"Master, where are we going?" Luo Shixin asked Xiang Yang Xuan, how to go south, isn't Luoyang in the west?
"You'll know when you arrive, we won't encircle Yang Xuangan this time, it's boring to have too many people, I'll take you to another place, a very important place, as long as we take it down, it will definitely be a big help for us." Yang Yun said mysteriously.
"Don't be disappointed, although there may not be a war there, but as a commander who controls the overall situation, you should consider the overall situation, the gains and losses of one city and one place are not important, the important thing is the control of the overall situation, and the place we are going to will play a great role in controlling the overall situation in the future." Yang Jun saw that Luo Shixin was a little unhappy and said. That place has a great effect, once you get that place, it will reduce a big super power at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and that place is Luokoucang. Wagangzhai was not strong at the beginning, but later Yang Xuangan was defeated, and after Li Mi fled to Wagangzhai and offered Zhai Rang a plan to seize Luokoucang to help the victims, Wagangzhai's power became one of the super forces at the end of the Sui Dynasty, once with hundreds of thousands of troops, all of which came from the support of Luokoucang, and Yang Xuan also took advantage of the turmoil provoked by Yang Xuangan to take Luokoucang unconsciously.
"Master, are we all here?" Luo Shixin looked at the huge buildings on the hill not far away and said, this place is actually a granary, no wonder the master said that this place is very important, if it were me, I would definitely control this place firmly.
"yes, that's the place I'm talking about, how's it going, how does it feel?" Yang Jian asked, in fact, it was the first time he had seen a granary of such a scale, although it was written in the book that the grain in this granary could still support Li Shimin's Zhenguan Dynasty after being squandered by Wagangzhai, but if he didn't see it with his own eyes, he really didn't know its majesty!
"How much grain does it have to be in such a big granary?!"
"You wait here, I'll lead the guards to watch and see if you can enter it smoothly, if not, then you can only attack." After Yang Jian finished speaking, he led a hundred guards to the gate of Luokoucang on the hill.
"What people! Hold it! Granary heavy ground, trespassers, slash! As soon as Yang Jian arrived at the door of Luokou Cang, he heard a sound coming from the garrison above.
"Presumptuous! This king Qi Wang Yang Xuan, don't hurry up and invite the cangbu squire and the general to come out to meet! Yang Yan said sternly with a straight face.
"It turned out to be the prince, and I asked the prince to give a token to the little good communication." Hearing that it was a super man coming, the officers and soldiers guarding did not dare to slack off, whether it was true or not, it was none of their business, they just had to spread the word. As he spoke, he was going to put the hanging basket and ask for a token.
Without waiting for the soldier to put down the hanging basket, Yang Jian still put a token up the garrison and just threw it into the hanging basket that was about to be lowered. It was a token symbolizing the status of the prince, and although it was not a token of power, it was also a valuable anomaly.
"It's the King of Qi?" After a while, General Shoukura and Kurabe Shirou appeared on the garrison, and looked at a handsome person in front of the hundred horsemen below, and asked each other.
"That's right, it's this king!"
"Hurry up and open the door to greet the prince!" The general of the garrison opened his mouth and said, no matter what the purpose of this prince is here, but he only has more than 100 people, and he has 5,000 soldiers and horses, so don't worry about being bad for yourself!
As soon as Yang Jian drove into Luokoucang, but there were thousands of soldiers on both sides of the road, it seemed that the general guarding the warehouse was still very careful.
"Dare to ask the prince why he is here?"
"This king came to arrange the garrison work of the granary by the holy decree to prevent Yang Xuangan's rebels from attacking the granary." Yang Jun said.
"Oh, but the last general didn't receive this order, do you see, my lord?"
"What? Will this king lie to you? This king, the head of the Henan Road march, will he still worry about the position of your little warehouse guard? If it weren't for the oracle, this king wouldn't have bothered to come all the way from Licheng. Yang Jun pretended to be dissatisfied. Even if it's fake, Yang Jun has to say that it's true, more real than real gold!
