The battle ended, and Luo Cheng went directly back to the big tent.

Except for those who cleaned up the battlefield and collected the corpses, all the anti-kings also went back to rest.

But Luo Cheng is still not idle, although this battle is over, it is not over.

As he had said before, the battle was just a temptation.

What to do next is the real question.

Luo Cheng was not ready to burn his brain alone, he directly invited Xu Maogong to the big tent.

At such a time, he wanted to hear the thoughts of this Wagangzhai military division.

This clever boss in the romance also showed considerable strength in Wagangzhai.

Luo Cheng asked him for advice, and there might be unexpected effects.

Outside the big tent, Yao Ping was stationed with the Snapdragon Army, and Luo Cheng was discussing with Xu Maogong in the tent.

"What do you think of today's battle?"

Luo Cheng smiled indifferently and asked Xu Maogong.

When Xu Maogong heard this, he nodded lightly, and said unhurriedly: "In my humble opinion, there are not many people in Bishui Pass now, but with generals like Li Yuanba, if you want to attack, I'm afraid it will not be easy." ”

Luo Cheng agreed, and said: "What Daochang Xu said is true, according to today's battle situation, the defenders in the city are limited, but with Li Yuanba in charge, if you want to forcibly break through, I am afraid you will have to pay a lot of price." ”

After a short silence, Luo Cheng turned his gaze to Xu Maogong, and asked: "If you want to enter the army, Bishui Pass is the first barrier, I don't know if Xu Daochang can crack it."

This is to the point, Xu Maogong's brows tightened, and Fang Cai replied: "The Tiger Prison Pass occupies a dangerous place, and it has always been a place for soldiers to fight, and now Li Shimin is holding on to it, which is indeed difficult to break." ”

Although Xu Maogong said it tactfully, Luo Cheng still heard the hidden meaning, and he smiled: "In this way, Daoist Xu does have a way to break through the barrier and ask Daoist to teach me." ”

Luo Cheng asked sincerely, how could Xu Maogong not say it, so he brushed his thoughts and said in a deep voice: "Li Shimin occupies the checkpoint, if he forcibly breaks the checkpoint, he will definitely have to pay a big price." ”

"Now that it is difficult to start in Bishui Pass, the prince can start from the outside, and the news that the alliance of kings wants to enter Daxing, Li Yuan must have known that he will never sit still, and will definitely send a large army to support."

When Xu Maogong said this, he glanced up at Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng suddenly came to his senses and said: "Does Xu Daochang mean to let Luo Cheng start with reinforcements and lure the Guanzhong army to attack, so as to turn the passive into the active, and then break through the Bishui Pass?"

Xu Maogong nodded slightly, but he didn't say anything, but Luo Cheng had already received a positive answer.

Luo Cheng said to himself: "Since Li Shimin is now in charge of Bishui Pass, then I will send people to bypass Bishui Pass and ambush Li Yuan's reinforcements, which will inevitably lead the defenders of Guanzhong, Xu Daochang is really powerful." ”

Although Luo Cheng was not out of options, Xu Maogong's idea was still very unexpected for Luo Cheng. After all, once this plan is completed, it will not take much effort to take the Bishui Pass.

With this water locked here, even if Luo Cheng can continue to lead his troops to attack, he will be subject to many constraints. After all, when the time comes, Bishui Pass is the rear, once the grain and grass are cut off, or troops are sent to raid, it will be very troublesome.

It is necessary to use troops step by step, and at the same time as attacking, the trouble in the rear must be solved, so as to ensure the safety of the march and not be cut off from the rear road.

While Luo Cheng was planning to break through, Li Yuan had already sent 200,000 troops from Daxing to kill in the direction of Luoyang.

Of these 200,000 horses, the main general Li Xiaogong is Li Yuan's cousin and is quite talented.

The army moved forward, and Li Xiaogong found Li Jing.

From Li Yuan's mouth, Li Xiaogong learned that Li Jing was indeed extremely talented, and he was from his own family, which added a lot of favorability.

Since the dispatch of the army, the two have had a good conversation.

At this moment, the army is about to arrive in Luoyang, and Li Xiaogong specially brought Li Jing to inquire about the use of troops.

It's not that Li Xiaogong is unassertive, but with brainstorming, he can always avoid omissions.

"The scout just returned the news, there are only a thousand men and horses in Luoyang City, and the rest of the army has already defended the enemy army at Bishui Pass, what do you think about this, pharmacist" Li Xiaogong looked at Li Jing and asked.

Li Jingzi pharmacist, thought for a while and said: "The second prince is really a genius, and he uses a large army to hold the Bishui Pass, so that the enemy army does not dare to enter Luoyang, and he can also protect the rear. ”

Li Xiaogong nodded and said: "Bishui Pass has been an important place for soldiers since ancient times, and holding Bishui Pass can indeed hinder the enemy's offensive, but I don't know what the situation of Bishui Pass is now."

After pondering for a while, Li Xiaogong looked at Li Jing and asked: "According to the current situation, as long as we ensure that the Bishui Pass is not lost, and Luoyang and Daxing are worry-free, we don't need to go to Luoyang, and go straight to the Bishui Gate." ”

Li Jing shook his head and said, "Otherwise, Bishui Pass is certainly easy to defend and difficult to attack, but once an accident happens, we have no other defense, and I'm afraid that Luoyang City will also be lost." ”

"We do want to lead our troops to Bishui Pass, but I think that the general will leave some soldiers and horses to stabilize the defense of Luoyang, so as not to give the enemy an opportunity." Li Jing Zhengse added.

When Li Xiaogong heard this, he felt that there was still some truth, so he bowed his head and said: "That's it, let's leave 50,000 people to sit in Luoyang to avoid accidents, and 250,000 people will not be able to guard a Bishui Pass?"

Li Xiaogong is full of confidence, even if the enemy army is tens of millions of people, but in front of Bishui Pass, it is not very useful.

After all, there are only those people who can fight directly on the field, and there are 250,000 people in Bishui Pass, which is enough to defend them airtightly.

If Luoyang was their base, Li Xiaogong would naturally have to leave more soldiers and horses to garrison to avoid being raided.

But for them, Luoyang is just a barrier, and the importance of Bishui Pass is still above it. Defending the Bishui Pass is to choke the lifeblood of the enemy's advance.

The two have discussed that Li Xiaogong will leave 50,000 people to garrison Luoyang City, and he and Li Jing will lead 150,000 horses to kill and go to Bishui Pass.

Now that there is no news from Li Shimin, there must have been no accident in Bishui Pass. As long as the enemy army does not break through the Bishui Pass, then everything is easy to say, and the strategy can be achieved.

If there were only 100,000 soldiers and horses of Li Shimin, the enemy would have a chance to forcibly break through the Bishui Pass. But at this moment, he commanded an army of 150,000 to help, but it was not so simple.

Li Xiaogong and the others led the army forward, but they never expected that there was a conspiracy waiting for them ahead.

Even Li Jing's intelligence never thought that Luo Cheng would send troops to bypass Bishui Pass to ambush their 150,000-strong army.

With the water in front of him, Luo Cheng naturally couldn't send too many people over, not even ordinary soldiers.

But Luo Cheng still has the Snapdragon Army under his command, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, even if he is ambushed, he may not be able to defeat Li Xiaogong's 150,000 army.

But tens of thousands of Snapdragon troops were ambushed, and the result was very different.
