On the first day of August in the 11th year of the Great Qi calendar, the Luoyang Guanqi army was divided into four ways to attack the Guanzhong through evolution. All the way to the army of 100,000 people, from Shaanzhou, the Yellow River, across the Guhan Valley Pass, take Hucheng, Ruxiang, and approach Tongguan. With it is the second waterway army, starting from Lingbao, thousands of sails are actually launched, directly approaching the direction of Fenglingdu, its goal is to trace Weishui, assist the army to attack Chang'an.

The third route army of 30,000 people went out of the Lu clan and attacked Luonan. The 55,000 people on the fourth road crossed Wuguan and Shangluo and approached Shangzhou. The goal of the two armies was to join forces in Shangzhou, knock on the pass in the south of Lantian, and open the gateway to the southeast of Changzhou.

The route chosen by Daqi was the route for Xiang Yu and Liu Bang to march into Guanzhong that year, and it was also the only route that Daqi could march on a large scale at present.

The reason why Guanzhong is known as the land of four stops, easy to defend and difficult to attack, is because there are four dangerous passes. At the same time, the Qinling Mountains in the south provide a natural guarantee for Guanzhong. The Great Qi attacked from east to west, and Tongguan and Yaoguan were the passes that had to be conquered. Whether or not these two dangers can be overcome is related to the success or failure of Daqi's use of troops this time.

At the same time, Dajin's 130,000-strong army, divided into three routes, crossed the Yellow River from Cizhou, Longmen, and Ronghe and entered Hexi. At the same time, part of the 80,000-strong army of Xie Zhou had arrived at Hezhong Fu on the east bank of the Yellow River and peeked into Guanzhong. Of course, another role of the sergeants along the way was to guard against the Qi army from crossing the Yellow River north and attacking Dajin's territory.

Suddenly, on the hundreds of miles of land along the "L" shape of the Yellow River in Guanzhong, the flames of war were raging, and the shouts shook the sky.

Unlike the dangers faced by the Qi army, the long Yellow River provided Dajin with several offensive locations. Daikin can send several, or even a dozen, of thousands of people to divide his troops across the river and harass him more. Although it is far from Chang'an, the center of Guanzhong, it is much less difficult.

Although Daqi and Dajin agreed on the time to launch an attack, however, the specific results of the battle still depend on their respective abilities. It is impossible for even the closest allies to reveal their battle plans to the other party, let alone the relationship between Daqi and Dajin. The Daqi naval army was much stronger than Dajin, but could only travel on the fixed route of the Yellow River and Weishui. According to the agreement, the Qi army could not set foot on the north bank, and the Jin army could not cross the border into the water.

On 6 August, Xiao Hui rushed from Luoyang to Shaanzhou, where he gathered in a temporary tent with Gao Dingshan, the governor of Luoyang Pass, Xiao Dingguo, the envoy of the left road of Shandong Pass, and Guan Bi, the envoy of the right route of Tokyo Pass.

In this attack on Guanzhong, Gao Dingshan was the commander of the expedition to the west. But everyone knows that it is the juniper who really controls all this. After all, the attacking army was not only the sergeants of Luoyang Pass, but also the Shandong Pass and Tokyo Pass each sent a team of soldiers and horses to assist in the attack. The two roads of the Qi army to the south of the pass were composed of the sergeants of these two passes. The sergeants of Luoyang Pass focused on attacking Tongguan. Of course, Shandong Pass and Tokyo Pass also allocated hundreds of warships to assist the naval attack.

Xiao Hui sat on the handsome chair in the middle, his pale face was like the white hair on his head, which made his blood-red eyes particularly conspicuous. The high cheekbones, narrow forehead, and thin chin make this mighty prince look like a ghost. Although the weather had just turned cold, he was already covered with a big coat on his body.

Beside him, a pretty maid was fiddling with something black. She cut off a thumb-sized piece from it and placed it on a small silver plate. Under the charcoal fire under the plate, the piece quickly softened. The maidservant first used a knife to cut it into small strips the thickness of several chopsticks, and then used tweezers to pick up one of them and carefully stuff it into the smoking pot. He also put some dried lotus leaf powder on top of it and lit it with fire.

Xiao Hui snatched the cigarette pouch, took a hard puff, and closed his eyes. After a long time, Xiao Hui slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath, and the blood-red color in his eyes immediately dimmed a little.

"How's that up ahead?" Xiao Juni's voice was hoarse with a terrible grinding sound, which sounded particularly harsh.

"The army of the middle lane has arrived in Ruxiang, and tomorrow it will be the latest chapter of the violent shield battle of the Tongguan online game. The navy is advancing to Fenglingdu, and tomorrow it will capture the mouth of the Wei River. The two armies in the south, all the way to Luonan City, the other road has surrounded Shangluo, the defenders are not much, the city can be conquered in a few days, according to the plan, five days later, the division can go up and down the city, and the army will take the pass in the west. Gao Dingshan sat on the chair and bowed his hand to the juniper. As the name suggests, the people of Gaoding Mountain are tall and mighty, with all their beards and hair, although they are over sixty years old, their waists are straight, and their bodies are like mountains.

Due to the long planning, everyone here is very familiar with the terrain. You don't need to look at the map, just say the name of the place, and you can understand everything in your mind.

"Is there any news from Daikin?" Xiao Hui turned his gaze to Duan Blade, who had just entered the account.

"The Jin army has crossed the Yellow River, one way has surrounded Hancheng, the other road has entered Haoyang, there is no news in the direction of Cizhou, I think it has crossed the river and marched towards Yichuan."

Xiao Hui frowned and said, "Isn't there any movement of the Jin Army on the South Road in Hezhong Mansion?" ”

"The 80,000 Jin army seems to have marched very slowly, and only a few of them reached Hedong City, but they did not cross the river. The army was also stationed in Jiezhou. ”

"The Jin people seem to be keeping the contract, and they don't mean to rob Chang'an with us." Gao Dingshan patted the armrest of the chair and said with satisfaction.

"These gold thieves are also interesting." Guan Biao laughed. Only Xiao Dingguo touched his bearded chin and didn't speak.

Xiao Hui noticed him, "General Xiao, what do you think?" ”

"Considering the humble position, there are 80,000 Jin troops on the South Road, which is quite a lot. And apart from the Yellow River, there are no dangers. With Tongguan pinned down by our army, it might have been easier for them to cross the river. Why didn't they move? Is it really afraid of causing us to misunderstand? I don't see it. ”

"Oh? Tell us what you think. ”

Xiao Dingguo stood up, walked to the map hanging next to him, and pointed to the terrain on the west bank of the Yellow River, "The direction of the Jin army's attack is Tongzhou and Danzhou in the north. There is Liangshan between Tongzhou and Danzhou, and the farther south, the flatter the terrain is, which is more conducive to the deployment of the Jin cavalry. The most advantageous direction of the Jin army's attack should be to cross the river from Hedong City and march to Chaoyi and Feng Yi. The second is the line of Haoyang and Chengcheng in the north. In contrast, the Cizhou direction was the most unfavorable for the march. However, isn't it puzzling that the Jin army has attacked on both sides of the northern route, and the southern army has not moved for a long time? ”

"What's so hard about that." Guan Bi said with a smile, "The goal of the Jin army is to occupy all the central areas north of the Wei River, and unlike us, it is to take Chang'an directly. Although the Jin army on the southern road is quite numerous, it is still inferior to our Daqi. In addition to not wanting to cause us to misunderstand, there is also the meaning of sitting on the profits. Watching us fight to the death with the Tanguts, they wanted to see jokes on the side. Don't you know, as long as Tongguan and Yaoguan conquer one, Chang'an will be in the palm of my Daqi. ”

"Yes, even if they successfully cross the river to attack, there is still a Luoshui in the west (check the map, Shaanxi and Henan each have a Luoshui, I don't know why this name is so popular), the Jin people can't do it, I don't know how much effort it will take to cross the Luoshui, and there will be my Daqi water army on the Wei River, they don't want to cross the river one step." Gaoding Mountain said proudly.

Xiao Dingguo didn't speak, but drew a circle on the upper part of the map, and clicked twice in the direction of Fangzhou and Ningzhou in the north.

Xiao Juni's eyes narrowed, pondered for a moment, and suddenly sat up straight from the chair.

Since the assassination incident, Song Zheng has been staying in the pavilion, in addition to reading, he is talking with Su Chan about some poems and songs, and listening to him play new songs. With beauties by his side, Song Zheng is not depressed.

Zujie mobilized five or six hundred men to search the Assassin's whereabouts, but found nothing. Although the assassin's archery skills were good, he was not a super archer like Zu Jie who could shoot two arrows or even three arrows with one bow, otherwise, Song Zheng was very likely to be injured.

Even so, Song Zheng was still a little afraid. The archer is aimed at himself, if it is against a woman like Su Chan who doesn't know kung fu, he will definitely succeed.

In the past few days, because the news of Song Zheng's assassination in Qu Zici spread, Ziguicheng had different opinions for a while, and even Dong Qianjun, the governor of Shuguan, was also alarmed and specially sent people to condole. Dong Qianjun is usually not in Zigui City, but in Yiling. When Song Zheng passed Yiling, he did not visit him. Although it is a major matter to send an envoy to Shu, it is enough to have Fan Zhitong to guide him, and Dong Qianjun, as the governor, has no need to deal with this kind of matter personally.

On August 6, the pavilion welcomed an unfamiliar guest, and Song Zheng was immediately summoned after receiving the post.

The name of the person is Wang Ruoxiong, who is under the command of the Right Division of the Prefecture, and he is also one of the cronies left by Yuan Rong when he served as the commander of the Dark Eagle on Jinghu Road. Before Song Zheng left Jiangning, Yuan Rong specifically mentioned this person. At the beginning, Yuan Rong was responsible for spying on the intelligence of Shu, and Wang Ruoxiong was Yuan Rong's important assistant, who once followed Yuan Rong to go deep into Kuizhou, Yun'an, and even Nanpu and Fuling.

Although Yuan Rong is no longer in charge of the intelligence of Shu, he has transformed and improved the intelligence points of Shu, and now, this group of forces is in the hands of Wang Ruoxiong. As far as Yuan Rong knew, although some of the intelligence points had been transferred to Zuo Si, some were still under Wang Ruoxiong's control.

Although the division of labor between the left and right divisions has been divided, it is not possible to transfer all of them to Liso in just a few months. Just like Zuo Si, in addition to controlling the intelligence in the army, he also secretly retains some local forces. After all, at the local level, the military and politics are sometimes not so clear-cut. Local officials are corrupt and may have something to do with the military. Similarly, the misdeeds of lieutenant generals and officers in the army also collude with local forces.

"Humble and greeting!" As soon as Wang Ruoxiong saw him, he fell to his knees.

"I have now left the Right Division, and the king does not have to be formal, you and I can just talk about each other."

"Don't dare, thank you, sir!" Wang Ruoxiong was not polite, and immediately stood up. Song Zheng looked up and down, and couldn't help nodding secretly. Wang Ruoxiong has an ordinary appearance, a medium build, and a slightly chubby face that looks a little honest. Such a person is indeed the most suitable for intelligence work. No one would have thought that he would be the one in charge of the right division of the state.

"The king came from Padang and had a hard journey." Song Zheng nodded in acknowledgment. Padang is a county, and Wang Ruoxiong's main post is the county lieutenant of Padang. It's just that in a large army garrison like Badong, Wang Ruoxiong, a county lieutenant, is inconspicuous.

"I just received a letter from Lord Yuan the day before the humiliation, and I came to Lord Song to obey my orders. In the middle, he heard the news of the assassination of the lord, and immediately came to pay a visit. Adults have a life, and they dare not resign! ”
