Fan Yang also has the emperor's two royal guards, and there are also soldiers from the feudal domains outside Yanshan.

Luo Cheng laughed a few times.

"Pei Saburo and Lai Liulang did give me a great surprise, and if God doesn't take it, I will be blamed for it. I summoned the three festival commanders to get you ready, this time our Great Qin is going to fight again. ”

However, the next direction of the emperor's troops surprised the three marshals, because the emperor said that in Henan, he had awarded Luo Cunxiao as the commander-in-chief, Du Fuwei as the deputy general, and the four armies in Huainan, Shandong Province went all out to attack Henan, and stabilized Luoyang and Xingluocang, Hugao Pass and other important places.

At the same time, General Luo Cheng drove the expedition in person, he not only had to transfer the soldiers and horses of the three marshals, but also the soldiers and horses of the various domains, and in addition to leading the Praetorian Guards.

It's just that this time the emperor's target is not Dou Jiande in Hebei, but Taiyuan.

"Taiyuan?"

The three marshals exclaimed in unison.

No one thought that the emperor would let Dou Jiande in the south of Fan Yang not fight, but he would go to fight Taiyuan.

But the emperor had another meaning.

"Dou Jiande has not been able to take four counties from the south to Shandong, but he has greatly damaged his strength, and after losing the two counties of Zhao County in Xiangguo, his strength has now been greatly reduced, not to mention that after my Great Qin moved to Fanyang, Dou Jiande was sandwiched between my Fanyang and Shandong, and it has become a game of chess."

Luo Cheng asked people to take the sand table and pointed at the location of Taiyuan in Hedong.

"Hedong Metropolis, where it comes in!"

"Look at the terrain of the east of the river, especially the terrain of Taiyuan."

In front of a topographical sand table in the east of the river, the mountains and rivers in the east of the river are fully revealed. Although the sand table is small, it shows the terrain of the entire east of the river in this square inch.

In Luo Cheng's view, Hedong occupies a pivotal strategic position in the entire northern region.

"The situation in Hedong is the most solid. Guanzhong and outside, must be the first and Hedong. Cover it to the east, then it is too much of a barrier of behavior. In the west, the big river is the belt, in the north, the desert, the Yin Mountain is the outer shelter, and the hook and the wild goose gate are the internal risks, in the south, the first yang, the bottom pillar, the analysis of the city, the Wangwu mountains are the riverside and the staggered confrontation, and the south is Mengjin, Tongguan are all portals. ”

"If Fen and Hun linger on the right, and Zhang and Qin envelope on the left, then the original Xi can be perfused and the Cao Su can be transferred."

Zhu Shuai followed the emperor's fingers, listened to the emperor's words, and had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, it turned out that the terrain of the entire Hedong was indeed like this.

"You see, the more Linjin and Bolongmen are located, the more Guanzhong and Jingwei can be folded down."

"Out of the patio and under the pot pass, then Handan and the well are east, can't you only do what I want?"

"Therefore, if you want to dominate the world and set the Central Plains, you must take Hedong."

The terrain of the entire east of the river is a relatively closed terrain.

At the same time, he is condescending, whether it is Hebei in the east, Guanzhong in the west, or Henan in the south, Hedong is a high platform.

There is a dive on three sides.

However, there are mountains and rivers in the east of the river, which are barriers for him, so he can enter Yike and retreat to defend it.

It has a natural strategic advantage on three sides.

To the east of the east of the river, the Taihang Mountain stretches for thousands of miles, and only the eight mountains can pass through the Taihang, which is the natural eight dangerous passages.

To the west, there is the Yellow River natural danger, and there are only a few ferries that are easy to cross.

"If we can seize Hedong, then we can attack from three sides, or we can defend against danger."

If Taiyuan is taken, the entire Hedong will be almost under control.

Dou Jiande, who was sandwiched between Taihang and the sea and the Yellow River, completely became a trapped beast, with no way out but to sit and wait for death.

At this time, Luo Cheng was not only thinking about Hebei, but the overall situation in the entire north, and even the overall situation in the whole world.

If we want to unify the world, we must first pacify the north.

And to pacify the north, it's not just about taking Luoyang or Hebei.

Now it is not only necessary to seize Henan, but also to sweep Hebei, which is not a simple task for the Qin army today, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to complete it in a short time.

Until then, no one knows how many more accidents will happen.

Just as not long ago, Yun Dingxing, the Mo Nan Jiedu of Hetao, led his army to attach Li Yuan in Guanzhong, and the counties of Yulin, Wuyuan, and Lingwu all fell to Li Yuan's side at once.

This was a very unpleasant accident, and he made Li Yuan's Guanzhong north worry-free.

Now Li Yuan is fighting a decisive battle with Xue Rengao in Longyou, but the information that can be transmitted back from Guanzhong shows that after Xue Rengao succeeded to the throne, although he was brave and fierce, he was now entangled by Li Yuan and Li Shimin's father and son.

Xue Rengao went east to conquer Guanzhong, but now the 200,000 army was dragged by Li Shimin in the Jingwei area and stalemate. The experienced Luo Cheng could see at a glance that Xue Rengao was now riding a tiger and was unable to advance or retreat.

And if this stalemate continues, in the end, it will undoubtedly be Xue Rengao's first to collapse.

After all, even Luo Cheng didn't dare to say that he could supply 200,000 soldiers and horses, and he couldn't attack the enemy fortified city on the front line for a long time. Once the supply of grain and grass is insufficient, no matter how many soldiers Xue Rengao has, he will only have a faster result of defeat.

Once Li Shimin wins this battle, then Li Yuan in Guanzhong will no longer have any worries, and then destroy the Xue family and take Longyou, with the unique four-stopper advantage in Guanzhong, Li Yuan is bound to go east to compete for the world.

Now the central and southern parts of Hedong are controlled by Xiao Yu and Yang Yichen, and these two are under the orders of the Chang'an Imperial Court, once Li Yuan solves the Longyou Xue family, he will inevitably send troops to Hedong at that time, at that time, this Taiyuan is only afraid that it will fall under Li Yuan's control, and Luo Cheng will be more troublesome if he wants to take it again.

"Li Yuan?"

Liu Wuzhou did not expect that the emperor would not fight Dou Jiande but would fight Taiyuan first, and the final reason was to guard against Li Yuan in Guanzhong.

"What is the difference between Li Yuan and Li Mi, I think Li Yuan is not as good as Li Mi, Your Majesty values Li Yuan so much, is it too high for him?"

"As soon as Li Mibei's mountain is defeated, the army will dissipate, and there will be no resurrection. As for Li Yuan, he took the Xiaoguo Army all the way back to Guanzhong from Jiangdu, which was not just luck. Moreover, Li Yuan had already been defeated by Xue Ju once before, losing tens of thousands of soldiers, but as a result, did Li Yuan collapse? No, on the contrary, he soon sent troops to fight Xue again, and even this time, he resisted Xue Rengao to the death, and also put Xue Rengao in an extremely difficult situation, which fully shows that Li Yuan is not simple, no matter how much we attach importance to him, in fact, it is not too much. ”

"We must take advantage of the fact that Li Yuan's main force is still in a stalemate with Xue Rengao to defeat Hedong Taiyuan. As long as we take Taiyuan, we don't have to worry about Li Yuan in Guanzhong anymore. ”

"But, if you don't fight Dou Jiande, isn't it?"

"Dou Jiande is just a dry bone in the grave, don't pay attention to him, when we take Taiyuan, he will have no chance." Luo Cheng waved his hand.
