Chapter 1307: The Wrath of the Son of Heaven
And when making this decision, whether it was Han Baohu or Li Xinchen, they all took into account one problem, that is, the danger of "bearing the brunt".
Judging from the current situation in Guanzhong, Yang Jian can really be called embattled, especially when Yang Jian returned to Guanzhong from Puzhou, he seems to have given up his last chance to survive. Once the Xianbei cavalry of the governor of Bingzhou and Chen Wangyu Wenchun was pressed down from Jinyang, even if the Puzhou defenders were able to hold the city, they also lost the last chance to break through or expand their territory.
Puzhou has become an isolated city on the north bank of the Great River, not to mention that Tongguan, Wuguan and Fufeng are all enemies.
So now that Yang Jian wants to live, he can only choose the enemy with the greatest threat to break through as much as possible, at least this can also improve the morale of Chang'an City and boost the people's morale, and the enemy with the greatest threat is naturally the closest enemy to Chang'an City. Therefore, Li Xinchen has been trying to avoid becoming Yang Jian's primary target.
This is also why Han Baohu proposed such a dangerous roundabout tactic, and Li Xinchen did not object, because from a strategic point of view, this is not a bad thing, and it can effectively prevent Yang Jian from paying too much attention to this side.
Judging from the current situation, Li Yan has been guarding Fufeng for many years, and he is obviously ready to rely on Fufeng to hold on - this is also one of the reasons why Li Yan does not want to leave Fufeng and rashly go to the rescue of Qizhou, after all, he can pull the enemy to fight on the battlefield he is familiar with, so he naturally has no need to take risks, of course, in the end, political pressure still prevailed over tactical arrangements, and Li Yan lost 20,000 soldiers and horses.
But as long as the Han army did not attack Fufeng, Li Yan's Fufeng defense line was still impregnable, at least in terms of face.
Therefore, at present, Yang Jian's biggest threat still comes from Tongguan, which is also not far from Guanzhong. Because Fufeng can still be defended, but if Tongguan is breached, there will be Chang'an City behind it. Coupled with the contradictions and conflicts between Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian for a long time, a lot of hatred has accumulated between the two sides, so the priority of defeating Yu Wenxian is naturally ahead.
But Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian are in full swing, it doesn't mean that the Han army can only watch the excitement from the side, Li Xinchen's focus is more focused on Wuguan, as long as Wuguan can be won, even if the Northern Zhou can still organize a layer of defense in Shangluo, what is the use, the small city in Shangluo is not as good as Wuguan.
In the face of the powerful siege force of the Han Dynasty, Shangluo was just a layer of tissue paper.
"According to the battle report sent by the hussar general yesterday, now the people in Wuguan City are also fluctuating, and in the long run, it will take as little as ten days and as much as half a month, and it will definitely be possible to break through Wuguan." Yang Su hurriedly said, Xiao Shilian is Xiao Maha's son, in order to avoid suspicion, Xiao Mahe is naturally very smart not to get involved in this matter, so as not to embarrass everyone when he gets it.
Li Xinchen said coldly: "It's already mid-April now, and it will be May in half a month, won't it be June when you take Shangluo again?" ”
June is the summer harvest season, and the fact that this army of 70,000 or 80,000 people is outside will seriously affect the summer harvest in Xiangfan and other places, which are the source of soldiers. Of course, if the Han army can really take Shangluo, it can harvest the grain on the Wuguan Road nearby, which is backed by the Qinling Mountains and faces Weishui, which is also a well-known anointed place.
In the pre-Qin period, it was known as the land of 800 miles of merchants, and it was also the fief of the Shang monarch Shang Ying, and the Chu State had coveted this land for a long time, and was even turned around by Zhang Yi.
But after all, this place has experienced war, and if the time drags on for a long time, Yang Jian will also send troops to grab it, so Li Xinchen can't hope to get all the grain in the land of Shangyu, so this big war can't be delayed until June.
This is another reason why everyone is aware of the time constraints.
Food, this is the foundation of the conquest and even the national fortune.
Yang Su looked at Xiao Maha, His Majesty had already said such a thing, so the rest was not something that Yang Su could bear. Xiao Maha immediately took a breath: "Your Majesty, the minister will urgently inform the hussar general with eight hundred li and order him to take the Wuguan within five days." ”
"No, it doesn't matter if I take Wuguan in a few days, what I want is to take the entire Wuguan Dao before mid-May, and push the troops to Shangluo and point directly at Lantian!" Li Xinchen said decisively.
Xiao Maha and Yang Su should be at the same time.
And Li Xinchen's gaze then fell on Gu Yewang's body: "Gu Qing's family, it is important to ensure that the grain can be delivered in an orderly manner, and before June, I will end the battle of Guanzhong." ”
King Gu Ye immediately stood up: "The old minister will do his best." ”
Now that King Gu Ye has completely gone to the opposite side of the Jiangnan family, he has long had no choice but to follow Li Xinchen closely.
And Li Xinchen then looked around and said lightly: "I know that your ministers have worked hard for the rise of the Han Dynasty, and I am quite honored to have the help of your ministers. ”
"The ministers don't dare." Without a martial artist, I don't know why Li Xinchen suddenly said such a thing, and hurriedly replied humbly.
Li Xinchen's words changed: "But I have also heard some rumors, and I only hope that these rumors are coming out in order to provoke my Han monarchs and ministers, and they are not true." But I also hope that all of you can clean yourself, what I want is to open peace for all generations, and I will never regret it on this road, if any of the Qing family feels that there is any objection to this, although it can be raised, since I am determined to end this three hundred years of troubled times in China, I will not tolerate a little objection, but if anyone has the courage to do some small actions behind the scenes, don't blame me for being ruthless! Yin Jian is not far away, and you can do it yourself. ”
When Li Xinchen said this, the courtiers in the court suddenly changed their expressions, and some people were even secretly looking at Shen Jungao and several courtiers from Jiangnan families.
They hadn't heard this rumor, and His Majesty had just named people by name.
Shen Jungao's face was also red and white, for a long time he had been comforting himself like covering his ears and stealing the bell, thinking that Li Xingchen's attention was all in the north, and he would not notice this little action of himself, but now Li Xingchen was almost pointing to his nose and telling him, if you don't restrain a little, you have to be careful with your head.
Yin Jian is not far away, what is "Jian"?
Aren't they those heads on the Zhengdan ceremony?
Shen Jungao shuddered.
The glory of the Shen family is still the life of an individual······
Everything seems to be getting hard to trade-off.
Li Xinchen has already announced his retirement from the court, and the hundred officials slowly retired with a solemn expression, but Li Xinchen doesn't seem to want to stay longer, and he has already left before the hundred officials retreat.
His Majesty's anger is beyond words.
How can the wrath of the Son of Heaven not make people fearful?
