In Yang Er's room on Wagang Mountain, there are reports from all over the world stacked on the table.

Since Lu Zhaolin led the army south, Yang Er had no staff to discuss, and all the latest information was only Yang Er's own secret thinking about the best way to deal with it. Although it is a one-man show, this is indeed the command center of the entire Jin army in Hedong. From here, orders were sent to the commanders of the marching forces.

Yang Er was always in deep thought on the map on the table, Wang Dai and the other women also knew that the current military situation was urgent and the form was complicated, so they didn't pester Yang Er anymore and continued to talk about the "Fengshen List" that had just begun, but gave Yang Er special care in life from time to time. The only people who accompanied Yang Er in the house were Luo Cheng and Zhong Jian, but they couldn't say anything about the current complicated situation, they could only watch Yang Er anxious and in a daze.

Judging from the information in hand, his people have been dispatched in place. The last section of the Yongji Canal in Jizhou has been connected to the Haihe River in Zhuo County, and the rest of the work is the finishing work of Li Chun to build a stone bridge and wharf in the Haihe River, so that Jizhou Muyu Culture can focus on leading troops south to prepare for the attack on Jinan's Tangbi.

Another military report from Jizhou is a good news for Wu Tianxi, Wu Tianxi led the Hejian army under the cooperation of the Weicheng general Su Dingfang, after using Su Dingfang's strategy, easily exterminated the last self-proclaimed Bohai King Li Zitong rebel force in Jizhou, but let Li Zitong and several subordinates flee to Liaodong by boat at the last moment, failing to achieve success.

Donglai Wangbo has also made preparations in accordance with the order, and more than 2,000 ships of various kinds have gathered in the Laizhou Bay Military Port in a short period of time, and they are successively sailing from the mouth of the Yellow River in Bohai Bay to the inland river, all the way east to Liyang City.

The 2,000 ships sent by Wang Bo were an important weight for Yang Er's war against the Central Plains against the kings this time. The flexibility and suddenness of the calm movement of one's own army are all in these 2,000 big boats. Ships in the Jiaozhou Bay Military Port are also gathering, and they are not allowed to go to sea in the near future, and they are in a state of being dispatched at any time. There are 100,000 elites of their southbound army stationed there, and whether they can achieve a sudden blow from behind the anti-kings depends on the 1,000 big ships moored in Jiaozhou Bay. Yang Er was satisfied with the work of Wang Bo and Liu Xuan.

The army that Yang Er is most concerned about is the Luzhou Chinese Army. The military newspaper said that Li Jing had already led the army into the reckless Zhongtiao Mountain, but what made Yang Er feel speechless was that the old prince Han Baohu also went with the army. The matters entrusted to Pei Shiju to handle the requisition and deployment of the Jin army on Taihang and Shaohuashan have been completed. Among them, 100,000 of the Shaohuashan Jin army have arrived at Tongguan nearby, so it seems that the total number of men and horses in Tongguan has reached 150,000, which is enough to resist the 550,000 troops of the rebel alliance mentioned in the intelligence.

Yang Er's eyes were fixed on Tongguan and Laohangu Pass. Between these two passes is the center of this Central Plains War, and a huge pocket array has already been placed here. Just waiting for the Central Plains anti-kings to lead the army into this pocket gradually.

Yang Er was looking at the map and was thinking in his mind, when suddenly, Liang Shitai entered the room and handed over a secret letter.

"My lord, this is the latest information sent by Lord Luoyang Qianhu Wang of the Military Intelligence Department."

"Oh?" After Yang Er listened to Liang Shitai's words, his spirits perked. I thought that after 2 days, new information finally came. I hurriedly took it and opened it and looked at it.

"Good! Shitai! This letter came at the right time. After speaking, Yang Er hurriedly checked the map again against the contents of the secret letter.

"Good! All right! You see, at present, the vanguard of the Central Plains anti-king Meng Haigong's 50,000 Caozhou army has passed the Laohangu Pass, and there are still about 3 days to go before they will arrive at the city of Tongguan. The other anti-king men and horses were marching in the canyon leading to Hangu Pass one after another. In this way, it seems that in a maximum of 3 days, all the 550,000 horses of the Central Plains anti-king can pass through Hangu Pass and enter the valley area between Hangu Pass and Tongguan. The 100,000 rebels who stayed in Luoyang are now led by Wang Shichong, the chief secretary Yang Gongqing, and the general Guo Shiheng. The defenders of Luokou City east of Luoyang remained unchanged, and were still guarded by 80,000 horses led by Guo Shizhu and Wang Renze. The surrounding Huazhou, Lujun, Caozhou, Bozhou and other places also took away most of the people, if my middle Pei Yun's army defeated Wang Shichong's men and horses left behind in Luoyang and Luokou, and captured these two cities, then it will be difficult for my army to have an opponent in front of it. Yang Er said excitedly to the three of them.

Luo Cheng and the other three were also happy when they heard it, and Luo Cheng was even more eager to try. Yang Er knew that now Luo Cheng's heart was full of thoughts of going to the front to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. Yang Er pretended not to see it and ignored Luo Cheng.

"Master, Master Li Taizhi's secret letter has been sent." While a few people were happy, Yang Yang, his henchman and guard, walked into the door, and handed the letter in his hand to Yang Er while talking.

"Huh! This Tang Bi is cautious enough, this time only let the generals Tang Long and Tang Xian take 50,000 horses and Wang Shichong and others to attack Tongguan. He still has nearly 300,000 heavy soldiers there, which is also a big lump. After Yang Er looked at Li Taizhi's information, he looked at the map and fell into deep thought.

Everyone didn't bother, they just kept this silence and looked at Yang Er quietly.

"Zhong Jian, send someone to bring a message to Wang De, and ask him to pay close attention to the movements of Wang Shichong's rebels, and if all the rebels pass through Hangu Pass, they will come and report immediately, and there will be no delay." Yang Er's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he commanded.

"Yes, brother Shi, junior brother will send someone to bring the message." Zhong Jian hurried out of the room.

"Yang Yang, this king ordered you to personally go to Weicheng, where you should be able to find Mr. Yu Wenhua and tell him that once my Donglai warship arrives in Liyang City, the army will immediately board the ship and cross the river to attack and advance in the direction of Jinan Mansion to destroy Tang Wall. As for Lu Guo! As long as he doesn't move the soldiers and horses there, let him go first. Remember? ”

"Yes, the little one will set off for Wei City." Yang Yang hurriedly turned around and left after hearing the order.

"550,000 rebels! Li Jing smuggled Pinglu to Hangu Pass to intercept only 100,000 people, and in the face of more than a dozen anti-kings and 550,000 horses like trapped beasts, can he block them? Yang Er then looked at the map, and said to himself, as if he was asking Luo Cheng and Liang Shitai, and as if he was saying to himself, this is also the only place where he feels that there are few soldiers.

"Big brother, although General Li Jing has the help of General Han, General Han is old after all! He still lacks a general, and he is willing to help him. After listening to Yang Er's self-talk, Luo Cheng suddenly felt that the opportunity he was waiting for had come, and hurriedly said to Yang Er, who was looking down at the picture.

"Oh?" After Yang Er heard Luo Cheng's words, he was shocked, looked up at Luo Cheng, and suddenly felt that what Luo Cheng said was reasonable. Li Jing's subordinates really lack a strong general who can calm the field, and they are all a group of young people who have just entered the battlefield in the martial arts, and it is really possible that their mentality will collapse first in the face of 550,000 rebels. If he can't stop the dozen or so anti-kings who retreated back, even if he takes Luoyang, he will face a big enemy. It is foreseeable how tragic the offensive and defensive battle of Hangu Pass will be.

"Good! Brother Wei promised you to immediately lead the headquarters of 3,000 white horses from to Liyang City, after arriving at Liyang City, remember that after the warship has crossed the Jizhou army, immediately lead the people of the headquarters to board the ship and go up the river with these 2,000 warships to Wenxian Ferry, first let the warship carry Pei Yun's Taihang Jin army on the middle road of Zezhou to cross the river, attack Luokou City, and tell Mr. Pei Yun and General Hua Gongyi that once they succeed, divide half of their troops to besiege Luoyang City, and the other half go south to sweep Caozhou, Songzhou and Bozhou. Brother Xian, you went to the Pinglu ferry in the east of our river again with all the warships, crossed the river with 100,000 horses and horses of Li Jingbu on my west road, and seized Hangu Pass. The virtuous brother can be the deputy general of General Li Jing, do you remember clearly? Yang Erbian pointed to the map and explained to Luo Cheng and said.

"Big brother, I underestimated my little brother, remember this." After speaking, Luo Cheng repeated Yang Er's words again, Yang Er saw that there was nothing wrong, put his mind at ease, and waved his hand to let him lead the troops to set off immediately without delay.

Luo Cheng looked excited, his face was ruddy and he was about to run out of the gate, when he heard Yang Er behind him add: "Let the soldiers bring more fire thunder arrows and sky-bombing grenades." ”

Luo Cheng didn't look back, just agreed, and ran to the bottom of the mountain Baimayi from the camp.

"Brother--- brother! Luo --- Luo Xiaogun ate --- ate --- Huan --- Huanxi worm, I haven't seen --- I haven't seen --- --- so high--- I've been happy. Luo Shixin, who happened to be here on patrol outside the house, happened to see Luo Cheng happily jumping down the mountain, so he entered the house and shouted. I also knew in my heart that this Luo Cheng must have begged for a good errand, and I couldn't help but envy in my heart.

"Luozi, it's just right. You go and catch up with Luo Cheng, just say that the eldest brother I ordered, you go together. Luo Zi, if the two armies are fighting, remember to protect Luo Cheng. As soon as Yang Eryi saw Luo Shixin, he suddenly thought of the story of Li Yuanba Hammer Town 18 Road Anti-King in Siming Mountain, if this errand was handed over to Luo Shixin, who also used a sledgehammer, I am afraid that it would not work with Luo Cheng to use a gun.

"Okay--- good! Don't worry--- brother. When the fight --- start --- come, I let Luo Xiao--- small gun stand --- stand behind me--- behind. Luo Shi was excited in his confidence, and he stammered even more, and finally after saying this, he turned around with a double hammer and flew to chase Luo Cheng.

"Lord, Luo Cheng and Luo Zi are gone, if someone sneaks up on Wagang again, there will be only one general! The safety of the lord ----," Liang Shitai couldn't help but worry.

"Huh! Rest assured, only Wang Shichong can come to Wagang, and now that he has gone to Tongguan, there will be no one around to attack Wagang. Yang Er said to Liang Shitai without worrying at all.

Liang Shitai was still a little worried when he heard this, nodded hesitantly, and looked at Zhong Jian on the side, because there were no other generals on the mountain now.

"Brother Shi, the younger brother is willing to assist General Liang Shitai to defend the Walled Wagang City together. This is the top of the mountain, which was originally safe, and there is a junior sister guarding the side of the younger brother, and the younger brother is dispensable here. Zhong Jian bowed his hand and asked.

"Okay, there will be Brother Lao temporarily as the deputy general of General Liang Shitai."

Yang Erjiang thought of everything he could think of, but he didn't know if there was anything missing, and after thinking about the map twice, he was relieved to make sure that there were no omissions.

Slowly walked out the door and went outside to breathe the scent of mountain air. The air in this era is exceptionally fresh, and it is refreshing to take a deep breath.

Near the mouth of the lower reaches of the Yellow River, a huge fleet of ships is heading upstream in an orderly manner. This fleet totaled 2,000 large and small warships, led by Lu Xingxing, the general of the naval division sent by Wang Bo, and the task he received was to rush to Liyang Chengdu to the south. Lu Xingxing was a sailor trainer, and this time, with Wang Bo's consent, he carried 10,000 officers and soldiers of his own sailor division with the ship. One is to protect the ships, and the other is to cooperate with the southbound army to fight in order to train the team.

After 5 days of sailing, this day came to the Liyang City Ferry under the watchful eye of the Jinan Army on the south bank.

The news that a fleet of ships entered the inland river had already reached the ears of Tang Bi, the king of Jinan, and the lower reaches of the Yellow River were originally controlled by Tang Bi, and Tang Bi had a rough idea of how many ships were on the river, and the huge fleet that suddenly entered the inland river from the sea made Tang Bi panic. On this day, he was discussing this matter with Gao Keren and several generals.

"That's the situation, Mr. Gao, this fleet must be the fleet of Wang Bo of Laizhou, at this time it will enter the inland river and go all the way to the west, this must be to Liyang. Now Yu Wenhua and his relatives led 350,000 Jizhou Jin troops to the south, and they must cross the river through the Liyang Ferry to fight a decisive battle with the prefecture. Tang Bi said to everyone in a little panic.

"Lord, I have 300,000 elite soldiers in Jinan, waiting for work, sticking to the city, and not afraid of his 350,000 to attack." General Chu De said sharply, obviously not taking the Jizhou Jin army in his eyes.

"Fujun, the only plan for today can only be held out city by city, and when the army of Tongguan breaks through Tongguan and attacks Chang'an, Yang Guangjun will retreat." Gao Keren said.

"In this way, I order the defenders of Puyang City to hold the throat leading to my Jinan Mansion. General Chu De can send 50,000 horses to aid Puyang, so that Lao Feng will have less pressure there. (Now Puyang City Taishou is Feng Deyi)

"Yes, my lord. The last general will send troops to aid Puyang City. After listening to the order, Chu De hurried out of the house and went to the barracks.

"Tang Jin, this government orders you to take 50,000 horses to Yuncheng to defend it."

"Yes, big brother." Tang Jin took the order and came out.

"With these two Xiongcheng as my Jinan barriers, the defenders have reached 100,000 each, and it must be difficult for Yu Culture to get benefits from me."

"Fujun, is there any news of Donglai Wang Bo? If there are any more soldiers from there, my Jinan will be in danger. Gao Keren suddenly thought of Wang Bo of Laizhou in the east, and couldn't help but hurriedly remind.

"It doesn't matter, Wang Bo's Donglai soldiers have always been weak in combat, and the garrison of Beihai County in this prefecture is not necessarily less than that of the Donglai army, so there is no risk. The government estimates that Puyang Laofeng can hold on for at least a month, and if Puyang is lost, Yuncheng can also hold on for another month. As long as Tongguan is broken, Yang Guang will inevitably return to the army to help Chang'an, and I Jinan will have no worries! ”

Just when Tangbi was deploying defenses, Lu Zhaolin, in Gaomi City, Donghai County, went south, and under the command of Lu Zhaolin and Xue Wanche, they rushed out of the city at night to Jiaozhou Bay. At this time, there were more than 1,000 warships waiting for Lu Zhaolin's 100,000 troops to board the military port in Jiaozhou Bay.

According to Yang Er's explanation to Lu Zhaolin before the war, it was precisely after the Jin army in Jizhou launched an attack on Tangbi in the south, the whole army boarded a ship and went south along the sea route into Langya County, landed from Rizhao City, Langya County, and went straight to the two cities of Dong'an and Xintai.
