Hearing Xi Chao's words, Huan Wen was silent. Of course, he understood that Li Xinhui could see his thoughts, after all, this kind of thing was not so profound.

"Murong Chui came down from Luoyang City after all, and this is nothing! After all, there are not many troops in Luoyang City, and the total is only 2,000 people. Everyone knew that it was impossible for them to stop Murong Trai's more than 10,000 horses. At this point, Li Xin shouldn't blame us! But what the general could have done right away, but he didn't do it for a long time, it would be obvious! Seeing his expression, Xi Chao continued.

"In your opinion, what should you do?" Huan Wen looked at him and said lightly.

"It depends on the general's thoughts! If it is only to support Luoyang City, then this soldier and horse will inevitably have to be sent, and it is better to send it early than late. But if you want to use this to weaken the strength of the Huashan Army, then you have to think about it! After all, if you are not careful, Luoyang City may really be lost! ”

"Yes! That's exactly what I'm worried about! It's especially important to have a good grasp of time! Sooner or later, it will give my father a headache! Huan Wen nodded, also a little helpless.

"Since this is so difficult, the general might as well think about it carefully, if it weren't for our help, would the Huashan Army definitely be defeated by Murong Chui?" Xi Chao pondered for a moment and said.

What he meant was actually to let Huan Wen think about this matter from a different angle, and not just look at the problem from his own standpoint. Otherwise, many things will lose their original appearance.

Hearing this, Huan Wen thought silently for a moment, and then said: "With Li Xin's strength, even if it is a time of fire everywhere, the Nanling Pass side will not necessarily be defeated by Murong Chui!" Although the current soldiers and horses of the Huashan Army are only 100,000, they are still distributed everywhere. But the strength of its generals and soldiers is indeed extraordinary! ”

"Yes, in that case, what else is the general worried about? Since the Huashan Army will not be defeated in the hands of Murong Chui, it doesn't matter if we want to save it or not! Moreover, if the trend is today, the momentum of the growth of the Huashan Army is unstoppable, does the general hope that there will be one more powerful enemy outside, or will he have a good friend? Huan Wen's analysis was quite objective, so Xi Chao said.

Although the words of respect for public opinion are reasonable, my father feels that this matter still needs to be slowed down! So be it! You go down first and get your soldiers and horses ready, and set off at any time! As for the timing, I still need to think about it! Huan Wen thought about it, but in the end he still didn't follow his advice.

"Alas! Anyway, since the general has already made up his mind, then his subordinates will do it! Hearing this, Xi Chao couldn't help but sigh in his heart and said.

With that, he turned and walked out.

Huan Wen is a person who is quite able to accept people's words a lot of the time, but sometimes he is very stubborn and can't move at all.

Xi Chao knew in his heart that he didn't listen to what he said, and he was now only thinking about weakening the strength of the Huashan Army, so that Li Xin had to rely on himself.

"Looking at that Li Xin, how can he be a person who is willing to live under the people! The general is just disgusted by doing this! Standing at the door of the mansion, Xi Chao looked back at Huan Wen's mansion for the first time, and couldn't help but shake his head lightly, muttering to himself.

Yuan County, west of Yiguan, is the base camp of the Yiguan Road. Because the road is difficult, all the materials are stored in the county seat of Yuanxian County in advance, and this is used as a transit place. In this way, the status of this county is naturally important.

Liu Xiaohai, as a general responsible for the defense of the two main roads of Yiguan and Taihang, usually stays in Yuan County.

Recently, after Murong Chui went south, the offensive in Yiguan and Wanzi Chengguan suddenly eased. There are only 6,000 soldiers and horses in these two places, and if you calculate it, there is no problem in blocking the road to the east of Yiguan and Bowl City!

But if the other party wants to knock down the two dangerous passes, it will be much more difficult. Therefore, the attacks on weekdays are basically not too intense, at least, compared to when Murong Chui was in charge himself, it is still far behind.

"There are two main things that called you over, one of which is that Murong Chui went south to attack Nanling Pass and Kip Shi Pass, I think you have already heard about it! In this matter, the Nanling guard told me that Chen Kang had already written to me! Because of this relationship, the pressure on Yiguan and Wanzichengguan has been relatively reduced! After receiving Li Xin's order, Liu Xiaohai convened several of his generals to discuss the matter.

"General, although the pressure on us here is lighter, the pressure on Hongnong County is greater. Speaking of which, it's not a good thing! A general spoke.

Everyone is Huashan Army, and the relationship between one and the same, is it a good thing that you are better than others?

"Not bad! So, that's the second thing I'm going to say! The general issued a military order, let us launch a counterattack here, and find a way to eat the 6,000 Yan army! In this way, it is just right to make Murong Trai gain more than he loses. If we do this, if we succeed, we can just deal with the Nanling Pass side and force Murong Trai to cross the river and return! Liu Xiaohai nodded, and then said.

"Since it's the general's order, let's obey it! It's just that how to do it, I don't know if the general has orders? Hearing this, several generals were a little moved, and hurriedly asked.

"What the general means is that it will be arranged by our side, and he only needs one result! As for how to do it, that's why I'm bringing you here. Let's think about how we can get rid of those enemies today! ”

Hearing this, the county government couldn't help but quiet down, and everyone began to ponder.

"General, why don't we go out at night, just like we did with Mu Yu Changqing?" After thinking for a while, one of the deputy staff generals proposed.

"No, we don't have a lot of people! If you really kill it, you will fight the enemy in an open place outside, and even if you win, you are afraid that you will lose a lot. Besides, I'm afraid the other party will guard against our move, right? After all, I only suffered a loss last year! As soon as this proposal came out, it was immediately rejected by everyone.

"That's right! We must fight this battle beautifully, otherwise, there will be no way to deter Murong Trai and achieve the goal of making him retreat! Liu Xiaohai obviously also thought it was inappropriate, and directly vetoed it.

"Why don't we use a trick to lure the enemy?" This plan was rejected, everyone thought about it for a while, and soon, the previous general proposed.

"Oh? Let's talk about it, how to lure the enemy? Liu Xiaohai became interested and hurriedly asked.

"General, the last general thinks that we can show the enemy weakness and put some soldiers and horses into the pass! Let's first arrange soldiers and horses to hold on to the west of the Kei Pass, and then ambush the army in the mountains and forests on both sides of the pass. After the Yan army enters the Yiguan, we will recapture the Yiguan, and when the time comes, we will cut off the head and tail, and wipe out all the 3,000 Yan troops to the west of the Yiguan. After the battle here is over, we will immediately move eastward and rush to the outside of the bowl city pass, and take advantage of its unpreparedness to solve the other way of soldiers and horses. I don't know what everyone thinks? ”

After hearing this plan, everyone couldn't help but ponder for a while.

"General, this plan should be feasible, as long as we can fully prepare in advance!" A deputy general nodded.

"Not bad! Those Yan troops have been unable to attack for a long time, and now they have suddenly taken the Yiguan, and they will inevitably advance with great joy, and it is very easy to fall into our trap. The only inconvenience is that we are running from Yiguan to Wanzichengguan, and the road is far away, and we are afraid that the enemy will be detected! The other deputy general thought for a moment and raised a little concern.

"Your worries are not unfounded! However, this strategy is a good strategy. Since we are going to eat each other's two armies, let's just change the way! The two places are not close to each other, these two enemy armies can be said to be independent, I think, we simply use the same strategy in Yiguan and Wanzichengguan! Liu Xiaohai pondered for a moment, and suddenly showed a smile and said.

"What does the general mean is to lure the enemy deep into the bowl city, introduce them into the bowl city pass and then annihilate them?" When the crowd heard it, they understood.

"Yes, there is Jiguan to the west of Yiguan, and there is Tianjing Pass to the north of Wanzichengguan! The other party has been unable to attack for a long time, and this is a good opportunity for us! The most important thing is that this approach allows us to eliminate the enemy army as quickly as possible and at the lowest cost. At that time, once the news comes out, I don't believe that Murong Trai is not in a hurry! Liu Xiaohai nodded and said slowly.

"The general is smart, if this plan succeeds, we will have nothing to do here for the time being!" Everyone was overjoyed and unanimously agreed with the idea.

"Okay, since everyone has no opinions, let's go down and prepare! This matter needs to be kept secret, and then I will arrange the person to carry it out, you can understand it in your heart, and you can't say too much to others! Liu Xiaohai stood up and said to everyone.

"The last general obeys!" Everyone answered in unison, and then they went out one after another.

After everyone left, Liu Xiaohai began to plan specific methods. After all, this strategy is easy to say, but it is not so easy to implement. One of the most critical points is to let all those Yan troops enter the ambush circle without any worries!

Otherwise, the other party will only come in a small part, or simply not be fooled, then the strategy will be useless.

In the next few days, Liu Xiaohai ran back and forth between Yiguan and Tianjing Pass, and arranged this matter.

On the surface, everything is normal in places such as Yiguan and Wanzi City, but only a few people like Liu Xiaohai know that things have slowly changed.
