Within the Yiguan, the original group of soldiers who had fought for a long time had already been rotated back, and now there are another group of soldiers stationed here. However, Liu Xiaohai and some other generals did not leave and were still ordered to garrison here. Liu Xiaohai was quite surprised by Li Xin's arrival, because he had not informed himself in advance, and now there seemed to be nothing that Li Xin needed to rush over in person. It wasn't until Huan Wen's letter arrived that he knew about Yao Xiang.

"General, do we really want to help Huan Wen solve Yao Xiang's gang?" Li Xin didn't avoid him, so he also knew the content of the letter, so he couldn't help but ask at this time.

"We're not helping him, we're helping ourselves! Yao Xiang's group of people really want to find a way to solve it. Otherwise, he'll be like a fly, buzzing in your ears all the time. Usually that's fine, but if one day this fly grows up, he wants to eat us! I can't allow that to happen, so take precautions! Li Xin shook his head and said lightly.

Liu Xiaohai didn't know why a Yao Xiang would be so valued by Li Xin, at least, judging from Yao Xiang's situation over the years, he was not a person with much ability. On the contrary, in Liu Xiaohai's opinion, compared with Li Xin, he is far behind.

"Then let's take advantage of the fact that he crosses the river and has an unstable foothold, and leads a team of men and horses to kill them and completely wipe them out?"

"No, if we do that, not to mention whether we can achieve our goal, even if we go out of the pass, I'm afraid it will not be easy. After all, although the Yan army is attacking the party outside, it will definitely not be unguarded against us. If we really go out of the pass, I'm afraid that we haven't found Yao Xiang yet, so we will have to fight the Yan army first. Under the current situation, I don't want to have a big conflict with Yan State! After all, our strength is much worse after all! Li Xin shook his head and said.

"Then according to the general's intentions, how should Yiguan cooperate here?" Liu Xiaohai was a little confused, he knew that since Li Xin came here, it would naturally not be for no reason. But don't send troops to the pass, then I really can't think of anything I can help.

"It's been a while since the Yan army attacked Shangdang, right? Do you think Feng Yang can still persevere? Li Xin did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

"The war on the Shangdang side was almost about the same time as the Yan army attacking my pass. If you calculate the time, it has been more than a month now, almost two months. Judging from the situation during this period of time, that Feng Yang defended quite well, and Murong Qiang attacked for so long, but he couldn't get in! Liu Xiaohai didn't know what he meant, but he still replied honestly.

"Yes! It's been almost two months, and the Yan army can't attack the party at all! If Murong Jun wasn't in a hurry, he wouldn't have sent Situ Murong Ping to replace Murong Qiang! Now, Murong Qiang garrisoned the north of Yewang County, attacked Wanzi Chengguan, and tried in vain to take Tianjing Pass in one fell swoop, and then entered Shangdang County from the south. And Murong Ping personally led an army of 20,000 to the west from Linshu County, wanting to capture Hongti Pass and then take Huguan. In this way, if the two armies are successful, the east and south of Shangdang will be lost, and Feng Yang will have no chance at all! Li Xin nodded and analyzed.

Historically, the Yan army attacked the party not this year, but next year. But now, with the change of the situation in the land east of the river, this chain reaction has also begun to appear.

Except for those places that are too far away from the Huashan Army and will not be affected too much, this world has basically begun to deviate from the original history to a greater or lesser extent.

Especially those people or forces who have direct interests in the Huashan Army, their life trajectories have begun to slowly shift. The most obvious ones are Wang Meng and Fu Jian!

At the beginning, Murong Qiang attacked Shangdang from Yewang County, Hanoi County, where there was a bowl city pass. This pass is so small that it has its name, and it looks like a bowl.

Although there are not many troops stationed here, it is a vital place. It is not easy for the prefectures and counties such as the Jiyu Division to the east of Shangdang to enter the Shangdang area. This is especially true in this era of backward productivity.

Generally speaking, if you enter from the south of Shangdang, you will go north from Yewang County, which is later Qinyang City, first pass through Wanzichengguan in the south, and then go north-west, and after crossing the mountains, you will arrive at Tianjing Pass.

After passing the Tianjing Pass, it entered the boundary of Shangdang County, which at this time belonged to Gaodu County of Shangdang County, that is, the area of Jincheng City in later generations. The distance is relatively short, so it is of course the most convenient way to cross from here.

Once you enter the Shangdang from here, you will be faced with almost all flat basins, and for the army, the speed of the march will be faster. In particular, it is suitable for large corps operations, and the advantage of numbers can be fully brought into play.

As for entering from the east, it means taking the line of Huguan. This road, compared to the south, the distance is longer, you have to pass the Hongti Pass first, and then pass the Huguan Pass, you can enter the Changzhi Basin.

Although the distance is longer, if you enter from here, after leaving Huguan, it will be the richest area in the Shangdang area. Especially not far from Anmin City, where Feng Yang is now, it can be said to be a direct access to the vital place.

Of course, there are still some ancient roads from the north that can enter Shangdang, and even enter Taiyuan and other places. But those places are relatively not so advantageous for the operation of the army. Moreover, it is also the focus of Feng Yang's defense, and Yan Jun is not stupid enough to go directly to the battle.

Murong Ping was originally appointed by Murong Jun as the general of Zhennan, and he was also the position of Situ, so he was trusted and reused. In the past, he was sent to Luoshui to guard the town, and he supervised the military of Qin Yongyiliang and other ten states, and his power was not great.

And Murong Qiang was originally the forward governor, and this battle has not come to a result for a long time, which naturally makes Murong Jun unhappy. It is said that he also ordered him to be reprimanded, and only then did he order Murong Ping to personally lead his troops to attack the Shangdang.

The place of Shangdang is too important, so it is impossible for Murong Jun to withdraw his troops directly because of a single defeat like attacking Yiguan. For him, taking Shangdang would allow him to defend himself against possible enemies in the west to attack the Central Plains, and even threaten his capital.

Moreover, if he himself won the party, the expansion of his territory was one thing. At the same time, it can be used as a springboard, and then plot against the middle of Taiyuan Hedongguan, that is the most important thing.

"Judging from the end of the future, Feng Yang should also know this, so he has been guarding it tightly. Whether it is Wanzi Chengguan or Hongti Pass, they are both dangerous places, and it is not easy for Yan Guo to take them. If you really want to worry, I'm afraid you still have to worry about whether Zhang Ping in the north will take the opportunity to make a move, or Feng Yang and them will make a mess by themselves! In that case, Yan Guo will have an opportunity! Liu Xiaohai pondered for a moment before he said.

"Yes! No matter how strong the pass is, it is always the easiest to break from the inside! We have to be prepared, once Feng Yang can't support it, we must immediately enter the party and take this place into our hands. Otherwise, the Yan army will occupy the party, which will be very disadvantageous to us! Li Xin nodded.

"But what does this have to do with Yao Xiang? The general actually came for him personally! Liu Xiaohai understands all of this, but he still has doubts.

"Hehe, you say, we can all see the importance of the place of the party, so will Yao Xiang's group not see it? If the party is okay and the surroundings are peaceful, I'm afraid he won't have any ideas. But judging from the current situation, the party is in chaos, if he doesn't want to get some benefits from it, then it's not Yao Xiang! Hearing this, Li Xin couldn't help but smile and said.

"The general's meaning is that he will fight the party! However, isn't this a land grabber with Yan Guo? Liu Xiaohai understood a little and couldn't help but be surprised.

"You forgot? The current Yao Xiang is still nominally a courtier of the Yan Kingdom! If he goes to help fight the party, it will be a legitimate thing. To the north of the river is the land of the Central Plains, except for the west of Shangdang, the rest of the places are the plains of the Pingchuan, where the Yan Kingdom is powerful. No matter how ambitious Yao Xiang is, he will not be stupid enough to grab these places at this time. And for him, under the current situation, it is a place of stinging, which is just used to slowly recover his strength, in order to ~ advance! ”

Hearing this explanation, Liu Xiaohai completely understood Li Xin's thoughts. He clearly planned to wait for the rabbit, and when Yao Xiang really went to fight the party, he would take the opportunity to send troops to deal with them.

It's just that if you really want to do this, it's still the same sentence, and it's not a good way to send troops from Yiguan. After all, he still has to face the counterattack of the Yan army.

"Yao Xiang went north to attack Shangdang, and he must start from the nearest place, that is, Wanzi Chengguan. The place further north is the important land of Yan Kingdom, and it is impossible for him to go there, otherwise, he will basically fall into a net. Once he is forcibly relieved of his military power by Murong Jun, I am afraid that he will have to be an honest Beijing official in Jicheng! That's our chance. Yiguan here, soon I will mobilize another 1,000 soldiers and horses to come, and when our army enters the land of Shangdang, the big war breaks out, you will see the opportunity, after copying the enemy army from Yiguan, take the bowl of Chengguan first, and cut off their retreat! After a pause, Li Xin said to him.

"The last general understands that the general is planning to catch turtles in an urn, first put this group of people in it, and then completely wipe them out! However, if we enter the party, I'm afraid it will arouse Feng Yang's suspicions, right? Hearing this, Liu Xiaohai finally understood the role of his own people, but he was a little worried.

"That's nature, so, we have to let Feng Yang invite us in!" Hearing this, Li Xin couldn't help but smile slightly and said. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Eastern Jin Dynasty Tang Wang's Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
