Chapter 81: The Plan for Dividing the Troops

When Wei Ziyang heard that the war was going to be discussed, he couldn't help but look at Mei Jingting, and they both saw a bit of solemnity in each other's eyes, and they also frowned, waiting to hear the words of King Xiang.

In fact, in Wei Ziyang's heart, he couldn't help but be a little moved by King Xiang's approach, he had just taken over King Xiang's solicitation, and King Xiang could value him so much, and even this military affairs had to be discussed with him, so he also attached great importance to what he was going to say next.

King Naxiang paused, and then said slowly: "I have received the news that after Xiqin knew about my Great Wei's movements, he quickly transferred soldiers and horses from Pingjing to reinforce Nahangu Pass and Tongguan. ”

The boundary between the two passes is the junction line between Western Qin and Great Wei. Guanzhong region and the Central Plains region, since ancient times is separated by a long and narrow Hanguan ancient road, this ancient road is extremely long and narrow, comparable to a line of sky, called Hangu, the easternmost side of the Hanguan ancient road is Hangu Pass, and the westernmost is Tongguan, the two Xiongguan across the ancient road look at each other, echo each other, become the West Qin to resist the attack of Wei at the forefront of the fortifications. The two passes are towering beside the mountains and rivers, the momentum is magnificent, the sense of extreme vastness, if you look at these two Xiongguan from a distance, you can't help but be afraid, don't say to go to the pass to go down once, I'm afraid that you will be numb and weak on the spot, make people laugh and laugh.

If Wei wants to invade this Qin State, the first thing to do is to capture one of the two passes, so that he can enter the land of Guanzhong, if he can't even beat these two passes, don't say that he is attacking Qin, even a single hair of Qin State can't be hurt.

When Mei Jingting heard this, he arched his hand to King Xiang: "I don't know, what will this lord be?" ”

King Xiang smiled, and then said slowly: "Don't worry, the main general is not that Du Chong, but Yan Guang." ”

When Mei Jingting heard that it was not the "White Horse General" Du Chong, the heart hanging in his heart also fell, if Du Chong really came to guard the pass, it would be very difficult for him Dawei, but now I heard that it was not this Du Chong, but Yan Guang, and he was also relieved.

Wei Ziyang has heard of this Du Chong, Du Chong's nickname is "General White Horse", known as the pillar of Western Qin, and there is a "White Horse Army" under his command that is even more invincible, and the combat effectiveness can be said to be the only "Black Flag Army" of the original Great Wei Xiaokui, but he has never heard of this Yan Guang, and he is also very puzzled when he hears it suddenly.

King Xiang looked at Wei Ziyang with a puzzled look, and also smiled: "Ziyang doesn't know, this Yan Guang is a new young general who has emerged in Western Qin in recent years, and it is said that he is Du Chong's right-hand man, and he has a high prestige in the Western Qin army, although he is only thirty years old, he is already experienced in a hundred battles. ”

Hearing this, Mei Jingting pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "Xiqin is really trusting, this kind of war does not send Du Chong, but sends this Yan Guang." ”

When King Xiang heard this, he frowned, just looked at this Mei Jingting, and admonished: "Don't you want to underestimate this Yan Guang, which of the generals who can take charge alone is a general?" Since Yan Guang can be trusted by the Qin Emperor, he naturally has his ability, and he must not be careless. ”

Of course, Mei Jingting knew this truth, his face was straight, and he just hugged his fists and said: "Your Highness, rest assured, your subordinates will not underestimate the enemy." ”

King Xiang nodded, and then continued: "So I'm thinking, since this Yan Guang led the troops here, it must be necessary to hold the two passes, and it will be difficult for us to win the two passes from the hands of the Qin State." ”

Wei Ziyang listened to the conversation between Mei Jingting and King Xiang, and couldn't interject for a while, so he simply continued to listen.

Mei Jingting paused, and asked King Xiang: "Then I don't know, does Your Highness have a good plan?" ”

"There's only one thing I can come up with right now."

"What's the plan?" When Mei Jingting heard this, he was also interested, and couldn't help but be curious.

When King Xiang heard this, he smiled slightly, and slowly paced away, and said leisurely as he walked: "Feint plan." “

"Feint?" Listening to King Xiang's words, Mei Jingting was also a little puzzled, and wanted to hear what kind of medicine was sold in King Xiang's gourd.

King Xiang smiled: "To say that it is almost impossible to win two passes at the same time, Hangu Pass and Tong Pass are both Xiongguan passes in the world, only three thousand elite soldiers are guarded, you can resist the attack of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, plus the people of Qin are very familiar with the terrain, if our army insists on attacking the two passes, the loss will not be small." “

"So my idea is to send a team of soldiers and horses to attack a pass first, make the illusion of attacking that pass, and then send a force and horses to attack another pass, so that the two ways of dividing the troops, whether it is to attack the other side or this other side, it is the victory of my Great Wei, just win one level, then it is as easy as exploring the other level to get something."

Mei Jingting listened to King Xiang's words, his brows were also slightly furrowed, and he thought for a while and said: "Your Highness, this plan to divide the troops is indeed the best way, but if you want to succeed in the plan, there is a problem first. “

King Xiang looked at this Mei Jingting with a smile and asked, "What do you ask?" ”

Mei Jingting's face sank, and he said: "First of all, if you want to make a feint, then the army of the feint must have a large number of generals, so that you can make the appearance of attacking the pass and attract the attention of the people of Qin." If this is the case, then the soldiers and horses on the other side will inevitably end up with a poor army and few generals, which is a very dangerous situation for them. ”

When Wei Ziyang heard this, he also nodded secretly in his heart, indeed, if this feint is to be used, in order to confuse the people of the Qin State, then there will definitely be one group of people and horses with weaker strength and another group of people and horses with stronger strength, which is indeed very dangerous for those weak people and horses.

Whether that team of men and horses is attacking this Hangu Pass or that Tong Pass, it is very difficult, not to mention thousands of men and horses, or tens of thousands of horses, it is not easy to take two passes from the hands of the Qin State.

King Xiang obviously also thought of this, bowed his head slightly, and then said: "I have also thought of this problem, but now there is no other way than to divide the troops." ”

Of course, in fact, this is also wrong, if Wei is really not afraid of heavy losses, he can insist on attacking a pass, but in this case, there is no doubt that he will commit suicide slowly, let me ask, even if he can really attack a Xiongguan with a thousand injuries to the enemy and eight hundred self-losses, then what should I do in the next battle? It is unrealistic to transfer troops from Yecheng for thousands of miles, and if you don't transfer troops, the Qin army in the pass is not vegetarian, and I am afraid that after the Great Wei army enters the pass, there will be no return.

Mei Jingting also knew this, paused for a moment, and then said slowly: "It's not impossible to say that the division of troops is not impossible, but in the choice of these two people, we must be cautious." ”

"To feint that way, you need to be famous in the world, so that you can make the illusion of a strong attack, and on the other way, you must use obscure, but loyal and brave people, such people can take on this heavy responsibility."

Hearing this, King Xiang smiled, then turned his head and looked at Wei Ziyang who was standing quietly on the side with a pair of eyes, and said with a strange smile: "That's why I'm looking for Ziyang." ”

Wei Ziyang was originally listening to the conversation between the two, but when he suddenly heard King Xiang say himself, he was stunned, as if he suspected that he hadn't heard clearly.

Want me to come? Could it be that I should be the general of this other way?

Thinking of this, Wei Ziyang hurriedly replied: "This ....... This highness, Wei is afraid that he will not be able to take on this important responsibility. ”

"Why?" When King Xiang heard this, he said lightly.

Wei Ziyang's face was straight, and he said: "This person who is a general must be an experienced and strategic person, this ....... This Wei has no talent to lead troops, and he has never been on the battlefield, so it is probably inappropriate to suddenly take over the position of general, and besides, even if Wei wants to be a soldier, I am afraid that the soldiers below will not agree. ”

Na Xiang Wang listened to Wei Ziyang's eager explanation, smiled, and then patted Wei Ziyang's shoulder with a hand, and then said: "Ziyang doesn't have to be arrogant, with your talent, you will definitely be able to take on this important responsibility, besides, if you let other generals go, it will inevitably not make the Qin people vigilant, let you go, then the Qin people have never heard of your name, so it can paralyze them, and it is also very beneficial to our army, as for the generals who disagree, I will let Jingting be your deputy general." ”

Wei Ziyang heard this, looked at Mei Jingting, but saw that this Mei Jingting was also staring at him with a smile.

Could it be that these two people are playing tricks on themselves? Wei Ziyang thought speechlessly.
