Chapter 245: Undying
Huan Wen must have considered this kind of problem, so after thinking about it for a while, he said: "If it is still in Henan, my father should attack it!" If he crosses the river and goes, I'm afraid he will have more than enough heart and not enough strength! "The general's words are reasonable! This is the old way to seek the country! That Yao Xiang is still south of the river and has not yet crossed the river. The general might as well send someone to find his hiding place, and then conquer it, and then return to the court victoriously! Li Xin nodded, agreeing with his idea, but still made a small suggestion.
"That Yao Xiang is cunning, I'm afraid it's not easy to find! If Han Tang has his whereabouts, he might as well tell one or two! Of course, Huan Wen also wanted to return victorious, and after looking at Li Xin in front of him, he naturally wanted to borrow some strength from him.
After all, no one in the world knows that Hedong is based by Li Xin, and Hanoi County, north of the Yellow River, although it was descended to the Yan State a few months ago, Yiguan is not far away. Especially in the Battle of Yiguan, the Huashan Army had just won, and the Yan Army retreated.
And Luoyang, where Yao Xiang is located, is actually on the south bank of Hanoi County. Once the Huashan army makes a move on the north bank, or if it is rumored to attack Yao Xiang, I am afraid that Yao Xiang will not dare to cross the river in a short time.
After all, the big river is not something that can be crossed casually, and if there is no ferry, Yao Xiang will not be able to go ashore unless he is alone.
However, there are two ferries near Luoyang that can cross the river, namely Xiao~Pingjin Pass and Mengjin Pass, where these two ferries are located, and it is not particularly far from the opposite Yiguan.
Yao Xiang, who has become a frightened bird, although he clearly knows that there is a Yan army attacking the party on the north bank, but compared to the Yan army, it is the Huashan army that is closer. In this way, he may not really have the courage to dare to cross the river.
When the time comes, one intercepts on the north bank, and the other pursues and searches on the south bank, so there is still a high probability that Yao Xiang will be found by himself! As long as Yao Xiang and others can be caught, isn't this another meritorious achievement of their own.
Of course, Li Xin knew what he meant, but it was too dangerous to go out of the pass. After all, in today's Hanoi County, there are many troops from the Yan Kingdom. Once there is no danger of a pass, if you fight on the plains, it will not be a matter that a small number of troops can decide.
Besides, if you fight for life and death on the north shore, you won't get any benefits, and the result is to achieve your Huan Wen's exploits, which is too cost-effective! Let's not talk about whether I can pass this level, even if the generals below know it, they may not do it.
"If Yao Xiang chooses to attack Hedong, he can be wiped out. If he crossed the river from a young age ~ Pingjin Pass and other places, there would be no way, after all, there were many Yan troops there. Li Xin tactfully rejected his proposal.
This is equivalent to telling the other party directly, it is okay to help easily, but it is not okay to help deliberately. Unless you create your own opportunity to come out, there is nothing you can do.
Huan Wen also knew that it was difficult for him to say this, so he didn't mention it again after seeing him refuse.
The two met outside Xin'an City for a while, and then went back to the city. In general, this meeting can be regarded as maintaining the relationship between the two. Huan Wen didn't want to set up the Huashan Army as an enemy at this time, and Li Xin had the same idea.
In this way, both sides deliberately ignored something, and this meeting was more like a personal relationship between the two.
After returning to Nanling Pass, Li Xin explained to Chen Kang, and immediately rushed to Shaancheng, and then crossed the river north from there and went directly to Dayang County.
Dayang County originally had a lot of soldiers and horses, and it was set up to deter Yang Qun before. Now that Yang Qun has surrendered, these soldiers and horses have taken advantage of the situation to be transferred to Shaanxi City to defend, so that both sides of this section of the Yellow River are basically under the control of the Huashan army.
After arriving in Dayang County, he followed the mountain trail all the way to the east, and rushed to meet Liu Xiaohai in the pass.
When he went to Yiguan, at this time, in a small village south of the Yellow River, not far west of Luoyang and on the bank of the Yellow River, Yao Xiang was leading his remaining soldiers and horses to hide here, planning his next move.
"I didn't expect that this battle would be lost! The army is six or seven out of ten, and the losses are heavy! Yao Xiang sat next to the fire, looked at the surrounding ministers and generals, and couldn't help but sigh.
Fortunately, it is not the first time that he has experienced failure, and everyone is the same. Therefore, although the will is a little depressed, it is not enough to say that there is no confidence at all.
"Huan Wen has a lot of soldiers and horses, and he is a person who has been in battle for a long time, so we lost this battle unjustly! The only way to do this is to come up with a way as soon as possible, otherwise, once Huan Wen chases here, I am afraid that we will not be able to resist it with only these horses in our hands. Quan Yi reminded.
"I don't know what you think, just say it and listen to it!" Of course, Yao Xiang knew this truth, so he motioned for everyone to make suggestions at this moment.
"In the end, we are now faced with very few choices! I am afraid that there is no other way than to cross the river to the north and join the Yan army there. Fortunately, we have surrendered to the Yan Kingdom before, so it can be regarded as the Yan Army! Auxiliary General Yao Lan suggested at this time.
"It's a good idea to cross the big river north, but now that we're here, we don't have boats, and we're in a hurry, I'm afraid it's not so easy. In my opinion, it is better for us to turn around and head south before Huan Wen can react, and go straight to Luhun County and other places from the west of Luoyang. It is the junction of the Huashan Army and the Huanwen forces, which should be advantageous to us! The left general, Wang Qinlu, suggested going south.
Now among them, there are more cavalry, and once they give full play to this mobility advantage, they may really let them escape. Luhun County is located more than 100 miles southwest of Luoyang County, and if you go further south, it is a major mountain.
Once they fled into this mountain, Huan Wen's army didn't even want to find them. And Huan Wen can't stay forever, as long as he leaves, when the time is ripe, Yao Xiang's army can be killed at any time.
I have to say, this proposal is still good. The problem is that for Yao Xiang, the mountains mean a remote place, and there is no benefit at all. For a person who is bent on dominating the world, leaving the people and being in a deserted place is simply self-defeating.
"No, it's too far to Luhun County, not to mention, you have to pass through several counties along the way. If these counties find out that we are passing through there, they will inevitably block our way south. Once we are blocked and Huan Wen catches up again, there will be no more physiology! Sure enough, this suggestion was vetoed, and the person who vetoed it was Yao Xiang himself.
"In my opinion, let's cross the river. Isn't the Yan army now under the leadership of Murong Qiang to join the party? Let's join them in the name of support. Once we take the Shangdang, we will take the opportunity to occupy the Shangdang counties. The land of the party, the four sides are dangerous, the roads are difficult to travel, and the land is fertile and there are many people, which is the foundation for the establishment of hegemony! Yao Chang suggested on the side.
"Yes, the battle for the land of Shangdang is fierce now, and Murong Qiang has been attacking for more than a month, but he has not been able to capture it. If we go, they will be welcomed. As long as we win the party, we will be able to restore our strength at that time. Moreover, after occupying the party, as long as it firmly guards the various passes, it will be able to form a country of its own. When the time comes, you can map and merge states to the north, enter the east of the Pingyang River to the west, and occupy the Central Plains to the east, and you can advance and retreat! Yao Chang's words simply hit Yao Xiang's heart.
"Yes, as long as we occupy Shangdang County, then we don't have to be besieged from all sides! As long as we can have a year and rely on the strength of the party, we will inevitably be able to grow stronger. A group of generals and advisers agreed at this time.
Instead of going to the mountains to endure hardships and cold, it is better to go to the familiar north!
"Okay, that's it! Everyone hurried out to search for boats for the purpose of crossing the river. In order to avoid being pursued by Huan Wen, we must cross the river as soon as possible! Seeing that everyone agreed, Yao Xiangdang even ordered action.
Huan Wen didn't know that Yao Xiang had already begun to prepare to cross the river, and at this time, he was still on the table to the imperial court to discuss the matter of moving the capital back to Luoyang. He has been playing this matter for a long time, but the court has never agreed.
Because the civil and military ministers did not want to return to this place, although their ancestral homes were mostly here. But since moving to Jiangzuo, it has been decades or even longer, and these clan lords have already had a lot of interests in Jiangzuo.
And once the capital is moved back to Luoyang, not to mention that they will have to face the threat of the Northern Yan State at any time, the main thing is that their interests in Jiangzuo will suffer great losses. In this way, how could a big clan gate valve like Wang Xie Yuchen agree.
The Jiangzuo Imperial Court was originally supported by the gate lords of the major scholar clans, and if the emperor of the Sima clan wanted to destroy their interests, he was afraid that he would have to be pulled off the horse, let alone Huan Wen.
Everyone is already accustomed to the state of a corner of peace, and the ideal of restoring the Central Plains and stabilizing the world is just the bloody concept of a few loyal people.
By the time the people sent out by Huan Wen~ found the traces of Yao Xiang and the others, the other party had already begun to cross the river. As a result, Huan Wen couldn't catch up with him, and watched Yao Xiang flee to Hanoi County.
There was no way, so he had to immediately send someone to inform Li Xin to see if Li Xin was willing to send troops to intercept him.
The letter was quickly sent to Yiguan, but now few people know that he is in Yiguan. And the news of Yao Xiang's crossing of the river, in fact, he knew it earlier than Huan Wen, after all, he had long expected that the other party would do this, so naturally he would not be unprepared at all.
It was precisely because he expected that Yao Xiang would not give up and wanted to recover his strength, so he would definitely cross the river to the north and go north, so he rushed to Yiguan.
