After the meeting, Liu Xiu went to the Lanlin Palace, where Xin Linglu lived, and Heimao, Dahua, and Ermao also lived here.

As for the lion sent by Guishan, although it is also here in Lanlin Palace, after all, it was not raised by people since childhood, and it is wild and untamable, and it is still locked in a cage until now.

Seeing Liu Xiu coming, Dahua and Ermao were very excited and circled around him.

And Hei Mao, who is most often with Liu Xiu and runs with him every night, behaves very coldly, raises his head, looks at Liu Xiu, yawns, and continues to sleep.

The black hair's personality is more like a cat, when it is willing to be close to you, it will stick to your body, pester you and play with it, and when it doesn't want to be close to you, it will turn around and leave, without being emotional.

During this time, Xin Linglu has been living in the palace.

At first, it was a little restricted, but now that I have gradually adapted to it, I feel that living in the Lanlin Hall is indeed much more comfortable than when I lived in Tsukasa Mountain.

Seeing Liu Xiu coming, she asked in surprise, "Why does Brother Liu have time to come to me today?" ”

The war is approaching, the affairs are getting busier and busier, and it is difficult for Liu Xiu to find free time, and the number of times he comes to Lanlin Hall as a guest is getting less and less.

He smiled helplessly at Xin Linglu and said, "In the middle of this month, I will lead the army to Hanyang. ”

Xin Linglu was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly asked, "Brother Liu, are you going to fight?" ”

"Hmm!"

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Kui Huan is the trouble of my henchmen, if I can't eradicate it, I won't be able to sleep and eat." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the black hair lying there sleeping and said, "I plan to bring black hair with me on this expedition." ”

Xin Linglu sighed and didn't answer.

She doesn't like war, and she doesn't want Liu Xiu to participate in the war, and she doesn't want Liu Xiu to participate in the war with black hair.

After a while, she asked in a low voice, "Does Brother Liu have to fight this battle?" ”

Liu Xiu said: "Between the imperial court and the hustle and bustle, there will be a big battle sooner or later, and it is better to fight early than late."

"The longer it drags on, the more people die.

Some time ago, the people's daughter was robbed, and Ling Lu must have heard about it, if you can't defeat Kui Huan, such evil deeds will be more and more in the future, and I don't know how many innocent people will be implicated. ”

Xin Linglu sighed softly, was silent for a moment, and said, "Brother Liu takes care of Hei Mao, and he must also take care of himself. ”

Liu Xiu thought that borrowing black hair from Xin Linglu would cost her tongue, but she didn't expect her to agree to borrow black hair so quickly.

He asked, "Zero Lu is willing to lend me the black hair?" ”

Xin Linglu smiled and said: "I said before that what Brother Liu did must be right, since Brother Liu proposed to borrow black hair, there must be a reason to borrow black hair." ”

For Xin Linglu's trust, Liu Xiu was somewhat embarrassed.

Xin Linglu obviously hated war, but now he wants to borrow black hair to participate in the war, and he is somewhat reluctant to go.

He said: "Don't worry, when the war is over, I will definitely bring back the black hair intact!" ”

Xin Linglu said: "Brother Liu himself will return to Chang'an intact!" ”

Liu Xiu smiled at her, stood up, and rubbed the top of Xin Linglu's head.

Long story short, time flies, and it's mid-October.

Liu Xiu led an army of 20,000 troops, as the vanguard of the Han army, and marched to Wangxian.

Liu Xiu was accompanied not only by the arrival, but also by the Cho period and the sacrifice.

Choshi is a guard lieutenant, his duty is to protect the Son of Heaven, Liu Xiu is going to Hanyang to fight, Choshi has no reason not to follow.

As for the sacrifice, he repeatedly asked Liu Xiu to fight, and in the end, Liu Xiu still agreed to him.

After the Han army led by Liu Xiu arrived in Wangxian, the next thing they faced was still three mountains, Jiequan, Qinting, and Longguan.

In the first battle of Hanyang, the Han army led by Liu Xiu folded on these three mountains, and this time Liu Xiu led the army to Hanyang again, he did not want to fight Jiequan, nor did he want to fight Qinting and Longguan.

When discussing with Choshi, Saizun, and Laixi, Liu Xiu proposed a bold plan to open a road over the mountain, from the mountainous area between Jiequan and Qinting, through the past, and directly hit Luoyang.

Luoyang is located behind Jiequan, Qinting and Longguan, if the three points of Jiequan, Qinting and Longguan belong to the first line of defense, then Luoyang is located on the second line of defense, and it is also the core position.

If you don't hit Jiequan, Qinting, and Longguan, skip it directly, and go to Luoyang with a salary at the bottom of the kettle, this plan is also bold enough, which is equivalent to not having logistics supplies at all.

Regarding Liu Xiu's plan, the faces of the Cho period, the sacrifice, and the coming are all a little dignified.

Sai Zun said: "Your Majesty, is it too risky and radical to use such a method of warfare? ”

Choshi also believes that Liu Xiu's plan may not be feasible.

He said: "Skipping the three important places of Jiequan, Qinting, and Longguan, and directly attacking Luoyang, it is difficult for our army's grain and grass supply to keep up...... Too risky. ”

Liu Xiu rubbed his chin and said: "According to the information provided by Gongsun, Lüyang is an important hoarding place for the enemy, which not only hoards a large amount of grain and grass, but also hoards a large amount of armaments and baggage. ”

After a pause, he said: "In addition, our army can also use the materials hoarded by Luoyang as a supply for our own side!" ”

It sounds like Liu Xiu's plan is good, but it won't be so easy to do.

Lai She said: "Your Majesty, even if our army really surprises and captures the enemy's materials, it will inevitably attract a large number of enemy troops, so our army will be deeply encircled and it will be difficult to get out!" ”

Liu Xiu said: "If this is the case, if the main force of the enemy army is really attracted to Lüyang, our army can rely on the city defense of Lüyang to hold on for a period of time, during this period, the main force of our army can attack Lüyang, and our department should cooperate with the outside to fight to the death with the enemy!" ”

The shou, the festival, and the visit to each other sounded, and this plan seemed to be feasible.

The three of them didn't say anything more, and bowed to Liu Xiu in unison, saying, "Weichen listens to His Majesty's dispatch!" ”

No one of the generals objected, and Liu Xiu's plan was finalized.

The Han army rested in Wangxian for a day, and the next morning, the whole army set off, leaving Wangxian and entering the border of Hanyang.

The movements of Liu Xiu's Han army were clearly explored by Kui Huan.

They didn't know that Liu Xiu was in this Han army of 20,000 people, but they only knew that the main commander of this Han army would come to the Han army and pay tribute.

Upon learning of the entry of this Han army into Hanyang, the number of defenders in Jiequan, Qinting, and Longguan began to increase.

The defenders in all three places were ready to defend themselves against the enemy, but to their surprise, the Han army did not attack in a big way, as they expected, but disappeared inexplicably.

They didn't know where this Han army ran after entering Hanyang, and even the most elite spies did not find out the specific whereabouts of this Han army.

The news soon spread back to Shangti.

After hearing this, Kui Huan looked dazed, and an enemy army of 20,000 people disappeared after entering the Hanyang realm?

Is this too weird?

He asked the spies who came to report the news: "In the vicinity of Jiequan, Qinting, and Longguan, no trace of the enemy has been found?" ”

The spies nodded again and again, and said: "Back to the king, we have already checked the three places of Jiequan, Qinting, and Longguan, and have not found any trace of the enemy!" ”

Kui Huan blinked, looked at his subordinates on the left and right, and asked, "Do you know what tricks the thief army is playing, and where did they run away?" ”

No matter how many enemy troops there are, as long as you know where the enemy army is, you will be able to have a bottom in your heart.

But now the problem is that this enemy army, which only has 20,000 people, has disappeared under his nose, which makes Kui Huan's heart immediately hang.

The ministers under Kui Huan's command looked at each other, they didn't have more information than Kui Huan, and they also didn't know where the Han army had gone.

Wang Yuan frowned and said, "Your Majesty, could this be Liu Xiu'er's suspicious strategy?"

This army of thieves may not have entered Hanyang at all, but secretly hid, the purpose of which was to find out the movements of our army? ”

Of course, he can't rule out this possibility, but Kui Huan's heart is still hanging, and he muttered: "Liu Xiu's use of troops cannot be underestimated, he can't send a soldier and horse into Hanyang for no reason, this army must have a plan!" It's just ...... "What is Liu Xiu trying to do?"

What can a 20,000-strong army and horse do when it enters Hanyang?

Kui Huan is really incomprehensible.

Wang Meng answered: "Great King, do you want to send the soldiers and horses stationed in Shangqi to Jiequan, Qinting, and Longguan?" ”

Wang Yuan waved his hand and said, "It's not proper! The main force of our army, stationed in Shangqi, can not change to respond to all changes, rashly divide the troops, and let the enemy army grasp the deployment of our army, which is very unfavorable to our army! ”

Kui Huan also agreed with Wang Yuan's statement, he pondered for a long time, and said, "Keep exploring!" As long as this Han army is still in Hanyang, I must find out their whereabouts! ”

The Han army, which had confused Kui Huan and his ministers, was now in the mountains between Jiequan and Qinting.

This large mountainous area, as far as the eye can see, is a mountain forest that cannot be seen at a glance.

Liu Xiu thought that crossing this mountain forest, even if it was not easy, but it was not too difficult, but when he actually took action, he found that he thought it was simple, the forest was full of thorns and grass vines, and it was simply difficult to move an inch.
