Chapter 141: Secretly crossing Chen Cang
"However, in order to have a greater certainty of landing, I am ready to do it again! Tomorrow, I will lead the army south out of Guanzhong and go to Wuguan to inspect! In this way, Yin Chi will inevitably think that we are aiming at Shangluo, and it is easier to rest assured, plus there is a river and natural danger, he will definitely regard it as a reliance! This is a good thing for us! Seeing that there were no doubts between the two, Li Xin continued.
"So when are we going to act? Although the east of the river is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the terrain is relatively flat, and if we want to run for a long distance, I am afraid we will have to have some cavalry to help! After thinking about it carefully, Liao Chuan added a little opinion.
"It's going to take two days before the operation, I have to let everyone know that I'm going to Wuguan, so that the other party won't be suspicious and relax his guard against us! As for the cavalry, I will allocate 300 horsemen to the battle. It's not a lot of people, but if it's used to intercept the enemy, it should be enough! Regarding his suggestion, Li Xin thought about it carefully before answering.
After the three of them discussed secretly in the county government for a long time, they quietly dispersed. Li Xin returned to Chang'an City at night, while Liu Xiaohai and Liao Chuan each began to quietly mobilize troops and horses to prepare for a big battle.
Early the next morning, Li Xin summoned Wang Meng and other important civil and military officers with great fanfare, and announced his intention to go south to Wuguan. Moreover, less than an hour after the news was announced, he set off directly with more than a thousand soldiers and horses!
Lined up in a long line, went out of Chang'an City, and went straight to Lantian County! In less than a day, he had already passed the pass, got out of the pass, and rushed straight to the direction of Wuguan in the southeast.
At this time, Li Xin was in the spotlight in Guanzhong, not to mention traveling with a large army. In this way, there are still some people in Guanzhong who have a heart, and they all began to pay attention to Li Xin's whereabouts! Then, find a way to inform the people behind the news.
Since the retreat of Huan Wen at the beginning, Shangluo County has not really formed a force! When Huan Wen left, although he wanted to restore Jiang Zuo's rule over these places, the army had been seriously damaged when he left the pass, how could he have this strength.
Originally, after Huan Wen left, Fu Qin's rule in these places would be restored, and historically, Fu Jian sent Zhao Ju to serve as the assassin of Luozhou. As a result, now because of the emergence of Li Xin, this period of history is completely gone.
When the Fu Qin court confronted the Huashan Army before, it was unable to take care of the affairs of Shangluo County, so it was just symbolically sent two officials over. But with the withdrawal of the Qin court from Guanzhong, these officials who were sent there also fled!
A few days ago, after Li Xin captured the entire Guanzhong, he assigned troops to guard the Quartet! This Wuguan is an important place, known as the south gate of Guanzhong, so naturally it cannot be neglected.
And He Feng, who is guarding the front line of Wuguan, only has a thousand people, but he is also a veteran of the battlefield, and he is good at defending the city, so there is no problem in handing it over to him.
The most important thing is that the line of Wuguan is facing the Jiangzuo court, and it is almost facing the army under Huan Wen. In other words, unless Huan Wen wants to start a war with Li Xin, he should not let his subordinates come to Wuguan to provoke for the time being.
And this time, the 1,000 soldiers and horses were nearly 1,000 wounded soldiers who had recovered in advance, and the purpose of the army's trip was real, and the purpose was to send over to enrich the defensive force of Wuguan. But what few people know is that just after the army arrived in Lantian County and just left the pass, Li Xin had already quietly returned.
The person who is now swaggering to Wuguan with the army is actually a personal soldier under Li Xin pretending to be one. Because he was wearing armor and his body was about the same size, no one noticed it at all. Li Xin took a few personal soldiers and quietly detoured through the city, and then went directly to the city of Xiayang County.
In the entire Xiayang County, only the county commander Lu Fang knew that Li Xin had arrived. And Li Xin also arranged the mobilization of troops and horses through him, and broke Liu Xiaohai and Liao Chuan's men and horses into pieces, and quietly gathered in the mountains north of Xiayang County to wait.
.......
Puban County, Hedong County, close to the crossing of the Yellow River, the terrain is flat and fertile, with the stretch of Zhongtiao Mountain as a barrier in the south and the surging river in the west! Although it is not the seat of the county, because of the history of the Guanzhong regime over the years, it is basically stationed in this place, so it is much more important than other counties.
For a long time, although this place has been a battleground for soldiers, it is still calm at these times! Basically, the war in the west and the Central Plains in the east has not burned here!
Ever since Yin Chi surrendered to Fu Jian and was appointed as the assassin of Bingzhou, he has been stationed in this Puban County. What I didn't expect was that less than two years later, the huge Fu Qin regime actually collapsed.
Such a rapid change made Yin Chi a little surprised, let alone other people.
Now, the new master of Guanzhong is the newly rising Huashan Army, and for him, the problem has arisen. The Huashan army can even drive Fu Qin out of Guanzhong, and if he deals with himself, he is afraid that it will be easier. The two places are on both sides of the river, and what Yin Chi is worried about now is when the Huashan army will hit his place.
Now, once again, it's time for him to choose. The last time he was faced with this choice, he chose to betray Yao Xiang and surrender to Fu Qin! And this time, he remembered his previous lord, and he wanted to take this opportunity to return to Yao Xiang's command!
"Have the people sent out to contact General Yao come back?" Standing on the upper floor of Puban County, with the surging Yellow River in the distance, Yin Chiji looked far away, as if he wanted to see the current situation of Guanzhong. After looking at it for a while, his eyes were sour, but he couldn't see anything, so he had to withdraw his gaze and ask an old servant who followed behind him.
"I haven't replied yet, after all, it's a long distance, and it's inconvenient to come and go! Let you be relieved for the time being, don't be anxious! The old servant hurriedly replied.
"It's not that I'm in a hurry, but time waits for no one! The situation in Guanzhong has changed abruptly, and the originally powerful Fu Qin, who would have thought that he would be defeated overnight! The wolf ambition of the Huashan Army, we were enemies with him in the past, and we have to worry that they may come to our side at any time! Yin Chi didn't understand this truth, but the problem was that this Hedong County was the foundation of his life, so he couldn't help but worry.
Although it is said that his title and official position are the history of the state assassination, but now that the Fu Qin court has gone to Longxi, what is the meaning of this official position. Not to mention, even if the Fu Qin Imperial Court still occupies the land of Guanzhong, it is impossible for him to really be in charge of the entire state! If he is the real assassin of the state, then he may not be afraid of the Huashan army.
"Yes, it is not unreasonable for you to be worried. However, the news I just received is that it is said that Li Xin of the Huashan Army has already gone south to Wuguan with a large army, and he should not have the energy to deal with us. Besides, he doesn't have many troops under his command, and he has to guard against the remnants of Longxi Fuqin, and he has to defend Wuguan and other important places, where is there enough manpower. Not to mention that there is a river danger, even if they want to come, it is impossible for them to have no movement at all! The old servant was relieved, although he was a servant, he was Yin Chi's confidant, and many times he acted as his adviser.
"Oh, then Li Xin really led the army south to Wuguan? When did it happen? Hearing this, Yin Chi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked.
"I just got the news not long ago, this morning, Li Xin summoned his generals to explain, and soon led the army to set off. The spies we sent out, I saw him out of the customs with his own eyes! As long as we are given some more time, if General Yao sends someone to answer, even if Li Xin really wants to call, he should not be afraid! ”
"You're right, as long as the Huashan Army doesn't do it, we will have enough time! However, there should be a response or something, and the counties were ordered to defend strictly, and they should not be taken lightly! Especially the army at the western ferry, be careful! Hearing this, Yin Chi finally relaxed a little, and after thinking for a while, he walked towards the head of the city, explaining as he spoke.
Just when Yin Chi was relieved because of the newly obtained news, Li Xin, who was in Xiayang County at this time, was waiting for the opportunity! He had already decided that the time to cross the river would be at night, so that the enemy would not be able to detect it. However, this is also a major test for the Huashan army.
"General, the army has been assembled in the mountains one after another, just waiting to cross the river." In the Ya of Xiayang County, Li Xin and Tu Qi, Liu Xiaohai and others were having their last meeting before the war.
"Very good, Lu County Order, have you found all the people you are looking for?" Nodding, Li Xin set his eyes on Lu Fang, who was in the last position, and asked.
"General Qiyu, I have already found the people who are familiar with the flow of the river, and gathered them in an empty house in the north of the city for the time being. When they're full, they're ready to go! Lu Fang hurriedly replied.
The waterway of the Yellow River is dangerous, especially in this part of the country, and there are few suitable landing sites, so a guide who is familiar with the local conditions is essential. Moreover, these people live by the river for many years, and even if they sail at night, there is basically no problem. In this way, the safety of the army can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.
"Well, then, the next question is how to get all these boats to the river! If one doesn't pay attention, the other party will notice our movements! Li Xin is quite satisfied with this, but there is one last headache.
"The boats we confiscated are still on the shore of Weishui. If you want to solve this problem, it shouldn't be too difficult! After dark tonight, someone can go and bring these boats over. If the army does it, it shouldn't be too difficult! Liu Xiaohai thought for a moment and proposed.
