Chapter 430: Meridian Valley

"Next, there is the last road, which is also the most important and the most precipitous, and the most magical one for hundreds of thousands of years!" Lin Feng stretched out his arm and pointed to a valley mouth closest to the southern end of Chang'an City, and explained in a deep voice: "This is it, Meridian Valley!" If you can pass through the Meridian Valley, you will only be less than a hundred miles away from Chang'an City! ”

"Master Hou! It's simply impossible! Li Jian suddenly exclaimed, and retorted with a surprised face: "There are still tens of thousands of defenders in Chang'an City!" If we want to pass through the Meridian Valley, it is simply impossible for our army to mobilize troops on a large scale! Even if it can be done, the Meridian Valley has to cross the Qinling Mountains, the terrain is steep, and the climate is harsh, which is really not conducive to large-scale use of troops! ”

"Of course! I naturally understand this! Lin Feng nodded slightly, but he looked disapproving, chuckled and looked at Li Jian and asked, "Chess moves riskily, and the sword goes sideways!" Presumably General Li also understands this truth, right?! ”

"But, it's completely different!" Li Jian froze for a moment, and continued to shake his head to express his reluctance to agree.

"Moreover, I didn't say anything about using troops on a large scale in Meridian Valley!" Seeing that the other party was still stubborn, Lin Feng smiled slightly, and continued to ask with a chuckle: "In addition, General Li should understand better that the soldiers are good but not too many!" ”

"Uhhh Li Jian didn't have anything to refute at this time, but he still didn't agree with Lin Feng's point of view too much, he just shook his head slowly on the side, but he didn't say any suspicious reasons for rebuttal for a long time.

"Kaede! This trick is too risky! Seeing that the two were no longer arguing, Uncle Li Huang, who had pondered for a moment, slowly shook his head, and said in a deep voice that he did not agree with it either: "I don't quite agree with the battle plan of sending troops to Meridian Valley!" It's too dangerous after all! That's the lives of thousands of soldiers! I disagree! ”

"Daddy! Don't be in a hurry to oppose it! Before Lin Feng could explain, Li Xiaofeng, a militant on the side, couldn't hold back, the failure to catch up with the Armageddon last time had become a recent heart disease for Li Xiaofeng, and every night he even slept and dreamed, thinking about when he could personally experience an ancient battle. Li Xiaofeng has also been studying this plan with Lin Feng for nearly a month, how could he be vetoed by his father for such a good chance to fight, and suddenly jumped to his feet and shouted at Lin Feng: "Brother-in-law! Don't sell it! Hurry up and tell my dad about our plan, so that the old man can understand it better! ”

"Don't worry, don't worry! Look at your urgency! Uncle Huang didn't say that it would definitely not work! Lin Feng smiled at the other party and waved his hand, then turned his head to look at Uncle Li Huang, and explained with a patient smile: "Uncle Huang, Wei Yan, the general next to Zhuge Wuhou during the Three Kingdoms period, you should know very well!" And Wei Yan's original surprise attack on the Meridian Valley, although Zhuge Wuhou strongly opposed it at the time, but after the later ending, it can be seen that in fact, if Wei Yan's plan at that time was implemented, I am afraid that the final outcome would have changed! And the situation faced by Zhuge Wuhou at that time was actually very similar to what we are now! However, if you count the strength of both sides, we are several times higher than the Shu army at that time! ”

"Master Hou, what you said is indeed good! However, Li also has some different views, and the stakes are very high, so he said it directly, and I hope that Hou Ye will not be surprised! Li Jian pondered for a while, and then put forward his opinion: "But Master Hou, you must know that there are eighty miles of land just to spare Chang'an City!" During the Anshi Rebellion more than 100 years ago, it took two or three hundred thousand troops to surround Chang'an City alone! Even if we can reach the city of Chang'an, where will we have hundreds of thousands of troops to attack the city? Moreover, even if the elite soldiers attacked as the Hou Ye said, even if we took Chang'an City, how could we hold it? Just those eighty miles of city wall, thousands of people are afraid that they will be exhausted to death just running the city wall! ”

"Excellent! Well said! Lin Feng nodded and smiled in agreement, but he changed his words and replied with a smile: "Actually, I didn't say that I wanted to take Chang'an City at all, I just pointed to Chang'an!" ”

"Huh?!" As soon as these words came out, except for the generals of the Feng family army who had already learned the news in advance, the rest of the people were shocked, and they were puzzled in their hearts, since they didn't fight Chang'an, why did they have to send troops to Meridian Valley?

It seemed that everyone had expected such a reaction, Lin Feng just smiled and said nothing, and waited until everyone stopped talking about each other before Lin Feng explained to Uncle Li: "Uncle Huang, of the four roads that are connected to Chang'an, only Chen Cangdao is in the hands of Pseudo-Qi, and the other three, according to my estimate, can only be said to be in the hands of Pseudo-Qi in name, but the actual ownership is up to us!" ”

"Well, you go on!" Uncle Li Huang considered Lin Feng's words in his heart, and slowly nodded to continue.

"Uncle Huang, generals! Actually, my plan is very simple to say! Come and see! Lin Feng beckoned to everyone, took the lead in approaching the sand table, gestured a few times on it, and said seriously: "Everyone has seen it just now, from west to east, there are Chencang Road, Baoxie Valley, Fu Luo Road, and Meridian Valley, and these four ancient roads are all north and south openings, running through!" And now, our ** and the rebels of the pseudo-Qi are actually at the south entrance of Chencang Road, that is, out of the scattered pass outside Chencang Road! The Meridian Valley is the easternmost of the four ancient roads, and the Zigukou of the south entrance is the closest to Chang'an! ”

"If our army can suddenly reach the city of Chang'an, the puppet Qi rebels will definitely panic! At that time, Huang Chao, who is stationed on the front line in Fengzhou, will definitely not sit idly by and watch the fire break out in the rear, and will definitely raise troops to help! After that, Lin Feng paused slightly, and after seeing everyone nodding their heads one after another to show their understanding, he continued to point to the sand table and analyze: "Although the pseudo-Qi has defended the north entrance of the four ancient roads, but in addition to Chen Cang, I have thought that the north entrance of the Bao Xiegu Valley, the north entrance of the Fu Luo Road, and the north entrance of the Meridian Valley, the defense will not be too tight, plus these ancient roads have not been repaired in time in recent years, presumably the rebels of the pseudo-Qi will not expect us to suddenly attack from here!" As long as our army can divide a few elites and attack them unprepared, we will be able to easily take three passes and reach the north of the Qinling Mountains! ”

The plan that Lin Feng said, if it was a few years ago, no one would have agreed to it, because at that time, these ancient roads were still in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, and the imperial court would repair them regularly every year, and it would be trivial to pass hundreds of thousands of troops, and there would definitely be heavy troops to defend them strictly.

Moreover, in recent years, in fact, whether it is the pseudo-Qi or the Tang Dynasty, they have put their minds on several ancient roads, but both sides have set up defenses at the north and south passes, so after a few back and forth, plus both sides are unwilling to spend a lot of money to repair the ancient roads, these ancient roads have gradually been completely destroyed, and even the people who originally lived in the mountains near the ancient roads have returned to the Qinling Mountains to live a savage-like life, although the days are a little harder, at least they can not be affected by the war and lose their lives.

What's more, according to some refugees who fled all the way from near Chang'an to the south of the Qinling Mountains, due to the mismanagement and wanton plundering of the puppet Qi regime, ordinary people could not eat a full meal near Chang'an, so it was better to go to the mountains to find some wild fruits to satisfy their hunger!
