Yang Chong actually didn't think about anything, he had been waiting for the results of Kou Jiuheng and Tianjian's investigation, and the people sent by the center and Chang'an were like leeks, cutting a stubble and a stubble would emerge; In this kind of era, the common people are simple, the scholars are exquisite, and the righteousness of the imperial court still has a role, and Yang Chong cannot easily give up this layer of protection, unless he is desperate.

Yang Chong did not wait for Chang'an's anger, but waited for the greetings of Yang Yu, the acting king, Yang Yu repeatedly explained in the letter that the blocking of the trade route was due to the rebels, Yang Chong immediately wrote a letter, saying that if necessary, he could send troops to Yan'an and Fufeng, and even Hedong, to share Chang'an's worries; Chang'an and Jiangdu all sent Jiamian to Yang Chong to be optimistic about Hexi and the Western Regions. Yang Guang appointed Qu Tutong as the ambassador of the Guannei to arrest, sent the troops in the Guanzhong to discuss Liu Jia, and Fan Zigai went north again to reinforce Wuduan.

Although Yang Chong did not send troops, but the degree of busyness and tension is no less than that of sending troops, it is the credit of Jing Pantuo to enter Jiangxian County again to kill Chai Baochang, he is a native of Jiangxian County, and once led nearly 10,000 people to Hexi, according to Jiang Duo's arrangement, in the Jiangxian area hidden nearly 100 people. After succeeding this time, in fact, Yang Chong no longer has a backup in Jiangxian, and the situation at the moment is completely dependent on themselves.

The only change in favor of Wudu'er is Fufeng, Li Hong himself has an old relationship with Tang Bi, and he is the uncle of Mrs. Ling Jing, who immediately sent an envoy to contact him after raising the army, and needed war horses and iron weapons, or sent reinforcements, and the messenger was Li Xiyu's cousin Li Zhang. Li Zhang's words actually mean the same thing, Li Hong is supported by the Li family in Longxi, there is no shortage of money, and he can trade with Hexi.

Ling Jing came up with a strategy, let the army of Wuduan'er enter Fufeng, assist Li Hong to harass Guanzhong, and wait for the opportunity to cooperate with Hexi to attack Guanlong, Yang Chong disagreed: "I don't want to kill Li Hong in the future, the cooperation between the two armies seems to be huge, but in fact, when they are weak, they contain each other, and when they are strong, they have their own plans." ”

Fang Xuanling, who had just arrived in Zhangye, suggested: "Let Wuduan'er retreat from Hedong to Beidi County, specifically attack Anding County, fight side by side with Li Hong, and send people to contact when necessary." ”

Seeing that Yang Chong was silent, Yang asked, "Chief, do you want to withdraw Wudu'er to Hexi?" ”

Yang Chong thought for a while and said, "To be honest, I can't make up my mind, so let's take you to meet someone." ”

Yang Chong wanted to travel, and the governor's office immediately got busy, and the four of them spent more than an hour arranging the things at hand, and then took the guards out of Zhangye and ran four hundred miles to Jiuquan. Accompanied by Ye Heilong, when they came to Yujuluo's residence, Fang Xuanling and the three of them had already heard about it, but they were still shocked at this moment.

Yang Chong looked busy like a fly without a head, as if he wanted to do everything, but under this cover, how many things Yang Chong was still hiding from himself; Yu Wenkai, Kong Yingda, Wu Duan'er, Yu Xuan, and Yu Juluo, all of them are important members of the imperial court or influential figures, and Yang Chong has already made arrangements one by one. Yu Juluo obviously knew the intention of the four of them, and only asked one question: "Who is the blue-faced general under Wu Duan'er?" ”

"Han Shimo." Yang Chong confided in the answer: "After he was arrested, Peng Moyun pretended to be a businessman and stayed behind, discussed with Han Shige, paid money every day for the caretaker to eat and drink, and found an opportunity to escape after five days, so he went to Luliang Mountain. Jiang Duo was afraid that all kinds of immortals had many eyes and ears in Hexi, so he asked Han Shige to stay in the army to help Wu Du'er, and the bronze mask was my idea, so that he could hide his identity. ”

No wonder Yang Chong is not in a hurry to recall Sikong Xing and other big people in Hexi, there are Yu Juluo and Han Shige, and Yang Chong is not short of generals. Yu Juluo smiled and said: "Yang Chong, it's not easy, you have the strength to win a thousand miles, but you can still resist the impulse in your heart, Yang Xuangan and Xiang Haiming are not comparable to you." You're here to ask where you're going? Why don't you let them fight out of the Great Wall, go straight into the Hetao, and then send 5,000 troops from Helan Mountain to conquer, set up a village in Shizui Mountain, control Huaiyuan City, Tongwan City, and peep into the two counties of Lingwu and Diaoyin. ”

Hetao generally refers to the east of Helan Mountain, west of Luliang Mountain, south of Yinshan Mountain, and north of the Great Wall. Lingwu County governs Huile County, Lingle, Hongjing, Huaiyuan, Lingwu, Mingsha, Feng'an six counties, Diaoyin County and other eleven counties, which are the northwest border of the Great Sui. Shizui Mountain is named after the confluence of Helan Mountains and the Yellow River, and it is only two or three hundred miles away from Huaiyuan City.

Yang Chong thought about it for a long time and said: "Then take Huaiyuan City first, Huaiyuan City will be reduced from a county to a county in the summer, the original guard Li Duan will be transferred away, and the newly transferred guard will be called Lin Xingcan, and cooperate with Li Yuan to cut off the road to Hexi." I wonder if General Yu is familiar with this person? ”

Yu Juluo smiled and said: "Lin Xing Cang is brave in battle, but he is by no means Han Shige's opponent, all you need to do is prepare food and equipment, and you can't destroy Huaiyuan City." Li Yuan sent Lin Xingcang to attack Zong Luohu's cavalry, so he could first let some of the cavalry swim to attract Lin Xingcang's attention, and then let Han Shige pretend to be the Taiyuan Sui army and attack Huaiyuan City. Then let Wudu'er's army repair in Huaiyuan City for a few days, or simply replace part of the army, and ride south to Liupan Mountain to capture Xiaoguan. ”

The eyes of Fang Xuanling and others lit up, what is the plug in the south of the Yangtze River, the Yellow River in the east, the Yumen in the west, the Xiaoguan in the south, and the desert in the north. Although Xiao Pass is known as the Xiongguan in the north of Guanzhong, in fact, it has been abolished since the Northern Wei Dynasty, now it is located in Pingliang County, Lingpinggao, Baiquan, Moting, and other four counties, as long as it occupies the old city of the Han Dynasty, relying on the mountains and the Great Wall, you can overlook Pingliang County and Beidi County.

Ling Jing added: "If we empty Huaiyuan City, I don't know if Li Yuan dares to take it back. ”

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Whether it is moved or not, Li Yuan can't send people, who knows if Wuduan'er will attack the city again, our army can occupy Huaiyuan City in the name of counterinsurgency, and slowly negotiate with Li Yuan to delay time, until Han Shige and Wuduan'er gain a firm foothold in Liupan Mountain." ”

Yang Chong's mood instantly improved, and he ordered Ling Jing reservedly: "Send someone to inform Wuwei'er immediately, and by the way, bring the seal engraved by Yu Jianzi for later use." ”

Ling Jing agreed, and Yang Chong had already arranged for someone to collect the official seals of officials and soldiers in Chang'an, Jincheng, Taiyuan and other places. After every victory, Wu Duan'er would send a large number of official documents back, and Ling Jing would select the official seals of the army and the government according to his needs, and Yu Jianzi would lead people to imitate them; With Yu Jianzi's craftsmanship, it is almost engraved vividly, covered on paper, even Ling Jing can't distinguish it, and now it's time to use the seal.
