Li Cunba asked Guo Chongtao, let's just go back, what are we going to do?

Guo Chongtao said, this is my plan, I am asking Wang Yan to withdraw his troops first, and after Wang Yan withdraws his troops, I want to give him a surprise attack. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Cunba said: "Okay, this is a good idea. ”

Of course, Guo Chongtao was reluctant to withdraw from the army. He discussed it with Li Siyuan, Li Siyuan was fighting Xing Zhou over there, he was fighting Xishu here, Li Siyuan wanted to win a big victory over there, he wanted nothing here, and he also felt that he couldn't get over his face.

In addition, Guo Chongtao also wants to take Xishu in one fell swoop and unify the whole country as soon as possible.

As mentioned in the analysis of the strength of various countries, the seven southern countries account for four-ninths of the country's territory and population, Li Tang accounts for five-ninths of the country's territory and population, and the Western Shu of the seven southern countries accounts for one-ninth of the country's territory and population. If Li Tang took over one-ninth of the territory and population of Xishu, it would be Li Tang accounting for six-ninths of the country's territory and population, and the six southern countries except Xishu accounting for three-ninths of the country's territory and population. At that time, it will be easy for Li Tang to destroy the six southern countries.

That's why Guo Chongtao wants to destroy Xishu so much.

Let's talk about Wang Yan.

After Dai Rong went back, he told Wang Yan about his meeting with Guo Chongtao this time.

After Wang Yan heard this, he was very happy.

At this time, Wang Yan was ready to withdraw his troops.

At this time, a man named Ling Shouren spoke.

Ling Shouren is a brother of Ling Yiren's own family, the prime minister of Western Shu.

Ling Shouren said: "Your Majesty, do you say that Guo Chongtao can be trustworthy? What if he retires and comes back? Our withdrawal is not the same as his withdrawal. His side is all easy to walk on the plains, and it is easy for him to come back after he retires. It's hard to walk on the mountain roads here. If we want to come back after we retire, it will be even more difficult to walk up the mountain! ”

Wang Yan said: "Guo Chongtao is such a big prime minister, doesn't he know how to speak and doesn't count?" Really, does it matter if Prime Minister Li Tang is so big can speak? ”

When Ling Shouren saw Wang Yan say this, he stopped talking: What if Wang Yan's guess was right? There are also benefits to retiring from the army. Withdrawing from the army is to let these soldiers develop agriculture after retiring from the army, so that the country will be rich and the people will be strong. What if something bad happens to me?

Ling Shouren thought: It seems that Wang Yan has decided to withdraw from the army, I just say it, it's useless. I can only make trouble for the emperor again.

Ling Shouren thought of that, so he didn't say much.

Wang Yan decided to retire.

******

Wang Yan wants to withdraw from the army, and there is a certain reason.

Wang Yan wanted to let some soldiers open up some wasteland to develop his national strength after retiring from the army. It's spring, and it's time to open up the land and farm the land. Xishu is a small country, and Xishu cannot withstand a long-term war. If you want to fight a long war, you have to spend a lot of military salaries. If you need military salaries, you have to ask for them from the common people, if you want less from the people, you can't do enough, and if you want too much from the people, if you don't make a good scene, it will cause a peasant uprising. For this, Wang Yan has also thought about it repeatedly.

Wang Yanbing retreated twenty miles.

******

A few days later, Wang Yan heard that Guo Chongtao had retreated another twenty miles, and he had retreated another twenty miles with his troops.

A few days later, Wang Yan and Guo Chongtao both retreated to a hundred miles away.

Wang Yan saw that Guo Chongtao had indeed retired, so he began to arrange his next step.

Wang Yan asked some soldiers to open up the wasteland and farm.

Wang Yan's 100,000 soldiers were delegated to 50,000.

This shows that small countries need to be careful about their lives. If a big country like Li Tang comes out with 200,000 horses, the pressure on the people in their country is not great, and if a small country like Xishu comes out with 100,000 horses, the pressure on the people in his country is very great.

Wang Yan sent 50,000 of his 100,000 horses, and he stationed the remaining 50,000 horses in a place called Fengweipo.

Wang Yan didn't dare to delegate all the men and horses, and he didn't dare to leave the other people too far from the Sword Gate Pass, because Guo Chongtao's men and horses were not far from the Sword Gate Pass, and he was not very at ease with Guo Chongtao.

Wang Yanjue didn't expect that something really happened at Jianmen Pass.

******

Let's talk about Guo Chongtao.

After Guo Chongtao heard the news that Wang Yan had disbanded part of the troops after Wang Yan retired from the army, he laughed "ha", "ha".

Guo Chongtao immediately ordered the account to be raised.

Guo Chongtao was promoted.

Guo Chongtao picked up the first big order: "Li Roughba listens to the order!" ”

"In!"

Li Cunba stepped forward.

Guo Chongtao ordered: "Li Cunba, I will give you 10,000 iron horses, and order you to rush to Jianmen Pass and fight Jianmen Pass!" ”

"Order!"

Guo Chongtao also instructed: "In order to speed up the march, you don't need to bring a large amount of grain and grass, you just need to bring some dry food." ”

Li Cunba agreed: "Yes." ”

Li Cunba agreed, and he went out.

Guo Chongtao picked up the second order: "Li Cunxiao listens to the order!" ”

"In!"

Li Cunxiao also stood up.

Guo Chongtao ordered: "I will give you 10,000 soldiers, and order you to rush to Jianmen Pass to support General Li Cunba!" ”

Li Cunxiao agreed: "Yes." ”

Guo Chongtao instructed again: "You also have to bring some grain and grass to support General Li Cunba." ”

Li Cunxiao said: "Yes." ”

Li Cunxiao also agreed and went out.

Guo Chongtao picked up the third order: "Kong Lian listens to the order!" ”

"In!"

Kong Lian also stepped forward.

Guo Chongtao ordered: "Kong Lian, I will give you 10,000 soldiers and order you to rush to Jianmen Pass to support the two generals Li Cunba and Li Cunxiao." ”

"Yes."

Kong Lian agreed, and he also went.

After Guo Chongtao sent away Li Cunba, Li Cunxiao, and Kong Lian, he also led the remaining 70,000 horses to raise troops.

******

Let's talk about Li Cunba first.

Li Cunba is the first to go all the way.

Li Cunba led 10,000 horses and rushed towards Jianmen Pass.

Li Cunba's first man was to move forward lightly, and his men and horses walked very fast.

The so-called light packing means that you don't bring anything except for some necessary items.

They brought only some dry food and water.

Their horses can go on as much as they fly.

The book is brief, and Li Cunba's men and horses went to the sword gate and closed.

After Li Cunba's men and horses arrived at the Sword Gate Pass, he attacked the switch.

******

Now it is De Feixiong who is under the sword gate in Xishu.

How did Wang Yan let Defeixiong be subject to the sword gate?

When Wang Yan left, he also thought about it, who should guard the sword gate? Let Han Tao? No way. Han Tao's martial arts are the best, Han Tao is also handsome enough, and he also wants Han Tao to train people. Let Dai Rong? Wang Yan has become suspicious of Dai Rong these days, he saw that Dai Rong and Guo Chongtao were a little eyebrows, and he was afraid that Dai Rong would betray him at that time. He had no choice but to let De Feixiong guard the sword gate.

When Wang Yan made this decision, Ling Shouren also persuaded Wang Yan.

Ling Shouren said: "Your Majesty, De Feixiong is a careless person, and he lacks brains when he encounters problems, can he guard the Sword Gate?" ”

Wang Yan said: "Didn't Guo Chongtao agree to make peace? ”

Ling Shouren said: "Guo Chongtao is sinister and cunning, he is the one who agrees to make peace, and we can't let it go." ”

Wang Yan said: "Could it be that Prime Minister Li Tang of Guo Chongtao is not discredited?" ”

Seeing that Wang Yan was so persistent, Ling Shouren didn't say anything more.

Wang Yan insisted on letting De Feixiong guard the sword gate, and he made a big mistake.
