Ning Zhiyuan bowed slightly, and Chen Gong said: "Since Dong Lu fought evil, Lu Bu rebelled out of Chang'an, Dong Zhuo's strength has been greatly weakened, at that time he only had 200,000 horse infantry troops, feeling the lack of troops, Dong Zhuo recruited new soldiers in Guanzhong, and at the same time he used the prestige he gained in the Qiang people when he guarded the northwest for many years to recruit the Qiang people, as far as is known, Dong Zhuo has a total of 70,000 Han troops, 13,000 Qiang cavalry, so now, Dong Zhuo's total strength is about 280,000. The specific deployment is as follows: the main force in the north with 150,000 fighting with Ma Teng and Han Sui; About 20,000 people on the front line of Hangu were guarded against Lü Bu's attack, and it was judged that Lü Bu had no intention or ability to attack westward, and once the war was urgent, Dong Zhuo should be able to transfer about 10,000 troops from the front line of Hangu back to defend Chang'an; Chang'an contains Dong Zhuo's elite flying bear army, including a total of 30,000 people, at the same time, Dong Zhuo built a dock fort in Yixian County, two hundred and fifty miles west of Chang'an, which is seven zhang tall and thick, very strong, and there are five thousand elite soldiers stationed in the dock fort for a long time, once the situation is urgent, Dong Zhuo can retreat here, and the maximum garrison here can reach 40,000 to 50,000 people, and the dock fort has hoarded enough food for tens of thousands of troops for 30 years, Dong Zhuo's wealth from the Han Palace, the mausoleums of the emperors and queens of the past dynasties, Luoyang, and Guanzhong is also mostly collected here, and its value is immeasurable; There are about 30,000 garrisons in each county in Guanzhong, and the remaining 50,000 subordinates are in the north of the Qinling Mountains to prevent our army from entering Guanzhong. Among them, there are 20,000 garrisons at the entrance at the north end of Fu Luo Road, 15,000 at Meridian Road, 10,000 at Baochuan Road, and 5,000 at Chencang Road. The enemy army deployed heavy troops in Shiyang Pass, Sanguan and other dangerous passes that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Qinling Mountains are steep and difficult to cross, and it is difficult for our army to carry large siege equipment, and it is by no means easy to break through the enemy's blockade. Dong Zhuo also arranged a large number of elite cavalry and beacon towers between Chencang, Meixian, Wugong and other places, once the first line of defense was urgent, he rushed to help, and on the other hand, he lit a beacon fire to ask for help from Chang'an......"

Liu Zhang looked at the first-line three-dimensional sand table of the Qinling Mountains that had been made at the cost of countless efforts and the lives of countless scouts in front of him, and was silent. Previously, for the Qinling Mountains, which were familiar with the highways that could be crossed in only a few hours, it was difficult for him to understand why the current Qinling Mountains were like a moat between Guanzhong and Yizhou, and he could not understand why the attacking side dispatched several times the enemy's troops, but it was still difficult to pry open the defender's defensive line. Looking at this sand table, he had a hint of enlightenment, the sand table restored the situation of the Qinling Mountains as truly as possible, of course, this is after countless times of shrinking, but even so, looking at this small sand table, he still felt a trace of coolness rising from the soles of his feet, and his mind couldn't help but appear narrow valleys, cliffs, cliffs, and abysses...... And the mist-shrouded peaks and the heights to which the birds could not fly, he seemed to see his soldiers moving with difficulty, and the desperate wails of those who had lost their footings were heard from time to time on the road...... He seemed to see that the Qinling Mountain Range suddenly came back to life, and it turned into a hungry, ferocious beast, devouring the lives of his soldiers all the time!

After the shock, Liu Zhang calmed down, looked at the hanging map and troop markers, and said, "Gongtai, who is the commander of the Dong army in the Qinling defense line?" ”

"Back to the lord, Dong Jun worships Yang Feng as the general of Anxi, and is fully responsible for the front-line battle in Qinling, with Li Le as his deputy."

"Yang Feng? Didn't he go to Luoyang with Lu Bu? Liu Zhang asked curiously.

"My lord, Yang Feng and Lu Bu don't seem to have any friendship, and they didn't go to Luoyang together, on the contrary, Yang Feng is Li Dao's confidant and favorite general, after Li Dao and Guo Bi failed to invade Hanzhong, Dong Zhuo adopted a strategy of turning offense into defense for our army, and sent Li Dao and Guo Bi to the northwest to fight against Ma Teng and Han Sui. When Li Dao resigned, he recommended Yang Feng to Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo ordered Yang Feng to the north of the Qinling Mountains from his words, so that his position has not wavered! ”

Liu Zhang nodded, he also asked casually, because he remembered that in history, Yang Feng seemed to escort Emperor Xian back to Luoyang with Dong Cheng, and later competed with Cao Cao, but the army was defeated and lost his position, and he silently voted for Yuan Shu. Of course, under the flapping of his wings, a lot of history is different, and Yang Feng has not left but is just a drop in the ocean.

Liu Zhang asked again: "What is Yang Feng's personality and ability?" ”

For this reason, Yang Feng hopes to prove his worth to Li Dao with supreme military exploits, hoping to be trusted and reused by Li Dao, and one day be able to get ahead and respond fiercely to those who have despised him. Therefore, Yang Feng this person fights and is brave, he must be the first soldier in every battle, and he has won the trust of his subordinates, and under his strict training, his headquarters is well-trained and extremely powerful, of course, this is limited to 15,000 people in his headquarters, although the rest of the soldiers and horses are under his command, but Li Le and others, who are the predecessors of the Xiliang Army, are proud of their noble birth, and they look down on the boss of the Qinling defense line, and often disobey their yang and yin, and even ignore their military orders. Although Yang Feng hated these Xiliang arrogant generals very much, he didn't dare to confirm that once he moved these Xiliang generals, Dong Zhuo would not be able to tolerate him, if Dong Zhuo surrendered, would Li Dao do his best to protect him, so he never broke this situation. In general, Yang Feng is brave and unscrupulous, and his troops are fighting separately, although there are dangerous and narrow cities, but as long as they plan properly, it is not impossible for our army to enter Guanzhong! ”

Liu Zhang said again: "Is there a way to break the stalemate in the public station?" ”

Chen Gong replied: "Lord Yu, my subordinates have just arrived in Hanzhong, and they don't know much about the combat strength of our army......"

Liu Zhang interrupted Chen Gong's words and said: "Gongtai doesn't have to be modest, it's okay to be outspoken, now is the time when you need to work together, you can't cherish yourself!" ”

Chen Gong gave a salute and said, "That...... The palace is here to throw bricks and jade, please the lord and colleagues to correct. After speaking, Chen Gong waved his sleeves lightly, came to the map, took the thin bamboo branch placed next to the map, and everyone's eyes also followed Chen Gong's movement on the map.

Chen Gong pointed to the four red lines that meander from west to east on the map, and said: "There are four roads connecting the north and south in the Qinling Mountains, from west to east are Chencang Road, Bao Slope Road, Fu Luo Road, and Meridian Road, although the Meridian Road is flat, but the distance is the farthest, and it has to flow through several rivers, the rain is abundant at the moment, the river water is soaring, and it is very difficult to flow, the Shiyang Pass guard of the Meridian Pass will be surnamed Li Minghong, who is Li Le's nephew, there are 5,000 troops stationed in the pass, and another 10,000 troops are stationed around it to support at any time, if our army can not quickly conquer Shiyang Pass, As soon as the enemy reinforcements arrived, our troops were in danger of being blocked in the valley. Fu Luo Road is 450 miles long, the itinerary ranks last among the roads, but the road is the most precipitous, many sections of the two people on the line is difficult to go wrong, the war horse, the transport of supplies of the wooden ox and the horse action remains unchanged, the heavy siege equipment is even more difficult, Luo Yukou by Li Le's confidant general Ding Qiang led 5,000 soldiers and horses to garrison, Li Le led 15,000 troops to the town of Wugong County, can be a strong reinforcement. Bao slope road ancient called the Golden Bull Road, is the earliest digging to connect the plank road of the north and south of the Qinling Mountains, the whole journey of more than 500 miles, only longer than the Fu Road Road, the enemy army has 4,000 elite soldiers in the cloth with heavy troops at the mouth of the Xieyukou, the guard will be Yang Fengai will be Zhang Xian, Yang Fengqin led 6,000 elite soldiers to sit in Meixian County to dominate the overall situation, if the war is critical, Yang Feng can also ask for help from Yiwu, there are 5,000 Xiliang Jingcai stationed in Yiwu for a long time, and can reach Xieyukou at night and night, intercept our army. Chen Cangdao is the farthest journey, the terrain of the pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there are five thousand military horses of Yang Feng's headquarters stationed in the pass, the guard is Yang Feng's nephew Yang Qi, Yang Qi lost his father in his early years, raised by Yang Feng, the two are like father and son, Yang Qi loves Yang Feng very much, and he does not obey Yang Feng's orders, this time he was ordered to garrison the Sanguan, unless he dies in battle, otherwise he will never let our army easily enter the pass! ”

Xi Zhicai said: "Then according to the words of the public platform, wouldn't it be more difficult for our army to set foot in Guanzhong?" ”

Chen Gong said: "Judging from the situation, this is true, but our army is not without opportunities. According to the palace's opinion, Dong Zhuo believes that our army will not be reluctant to seek the near and far, and the most likely way to go is Fu Luo Road, so 20,000 heavy troops are arranged on Fu Luo Road, compared to Chen Cang Road, which is the farthest distance, but there are only 5,000 soldiers. Why don't we cater to Dong Zhuo's judgment and seize the time from now on to strengthen Fu Luo Dao......"

Xi Zhicai said: "Ming Xiu plank road, secretly cross Chen Cang? I'm afraid it's not easy for the enemy to fall for it! ”

Chen Gong said: "No, on the contrary, in the opinion of the palace, whether our army is cultivating openly or secretly, it is from Fu Luo Dao. ”

"This ...... Our army is building the Fu Luo Road with great fanfare, and the enemy army will inevitably be alert, and I am afraid that the suddenness of the attack will not be achieved! Full of pets.

Xun You's eyes lit up after thinking deeply, and he praised: "Clever plan! ”

Man Zhong looked at Xun You, and quickly reacted, and said: "What does Gongtai mean to make the enemy think that our army is trying to make a secret crossing of Chen Cang?" ordered him to divert his attention and forces to other places, and then our army suddenly appeared at Luoyukou......"

Chen Gong said: "The palace is exactly what it means, our army can repair Fu Luo Road with great fanfare, and at the same time send scouts to the front line of Sanguan to reconnoitre, but 'accidentally' was noticed by the defenders, so that Yang Qi must report to Yang Feng, Yang Feng is brave and unplanned, a little knowledge of the art of war, seeing that our army is repairing Fu Luo Road with great fanfare, but secretly sending scouts to reconnoiter and disperse the pass, it must think that our army wants to imitate Gaozu's plan to repair the plank road and secretly cross Chen Cang'. With Yang Feng's character of great joy, he will set up an ambush before the transfer of troops and disperse the pass to ambush our army. Although Li Lesu is at odds with him, but the military order is difficult to disobey, the enemy is current, if Li Le sits back and watches the fall of Sanguan and makes our army step into the pass, Li Lesu will be held accountable by Dong Zhuo, and he does not want to be questioned with Yang Feng, he must send troops to support and block our army in the lofty mountains and mountains of the Qinling Mountains. In this way, the strength of Luoyukou will be greatly reduced, and the enemy judges that our army will take the Chencang Road, and the defenders of Luoyukou will definitely be greatly wary, which is also conducive to our army's surprise attack! ”

Xun You said: "But it is difficult for the people and horses of Fu Luodao to travel, and it is even more difficult for the siege equipment to pass, even if our army goes lightly, there is no siege equipment, how to conquer Luoyukou?" ”

Chen Gong said: "In the opinion of the palace, it must be a night attack!" Gong has seen the training of the 1st Independent Infantry Brigade, under the strict training of the senior deputy commander, the 1st Independent Brigade is definitely the elite of the elite, and it lives up to the name of trapping, as long as the 1st Independent Brigade can use the cover of darkness to climb the city wall with flying claws and ghosts, and conquer Luoyukou with the advantage of the soldiers of the 1st Independent Brigade! ”

Xun You asked: "If the enemy is aware of the existence of the 1st Independent Brigade in advance, and the surprise attack turns into a strong attack, is our army still sure to conquer it quickly?" ”

"Gong doesn't dare to assert, but Gong believes that with the strong attack power of the First Independent Brigade, even if it is a strong attack, there is a great chance to break through Luoyukou, but after this war, the First Independent Brigade will be seriously reduced!"
