Chapter 309: The curtain opens
p
"Yanmen Pass is in the north, Shangdang is located in the southeast, and the two places are the two major passages to the outside world."
"If you take the two places, you can cut off the connection between Sanjin and the outside world, and the state will become the bag of Hexi."
"According to the previous plan, the army will be divided into two routes, north and south, and regain Yanmen Pass and Shangdang County as soon as possible."
"Shangdang has the saying of 'elbowing Jingluo and walking on Pujin, leaning on Taiyuan and crossing the river', the strategic location is extremely important, and it has always been a place for soldiers to fight."
"The mountains here are dangerous, the terrain is high, and there are three mountains that can lead to Hebei and the Central Plains."
"Xiyan rules the core area, and it is also in Shangdang County."
"Only by taking down the Shangdang can we completely destroy Xiyan and take all the three Jins."
After attacking Jinyang, Wei Shuo immediately gathered everyone to discuss the next course of action.
Not surprisingly, everyone unanimously agreed that they should quickly enter the party in the east, and form a north-south echo with the North Road Wang Zhenevil.
Just as everyone was discussing the military situation, the guard Kang Long suddenly broke in with a happy face.
"Dadu Hu, Master Zhang is here."
"What?! The dragon sparrow is coming? ”
Knowing that Zhang Teng was visiting, Wei Shuo couldn't help but be surprised.
According to common sense, Zhang Teng should be the eldest son, how could he suddenly run away from Lishi?
At present, in addition to caring about the progress of the war, Wei Shuo is most worried about Zhang Teng's safety.
I was afraid that after Murong Yong learned the news of Jinyang's loss, he would spread his anger on Zhang Teng, who had always advocated friendship with Hexi.
Previously, he considered sending someone to rescue Zhang Teng, but he did not implement it because he was worried that it would be too difficult to startle the snake.
I don't know how Zhang Teng fooled Murong Yong, and he actually got out and returned by himself.
"Quick, quick, get the dragon bird in."
Zhang Teng came back unexpectedly, so that Wei Shuo had to suspend the military discussion, and at the same time, it also made everyone realize that the situation was estimated to have changed again.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Teng met, he told everyone that now Murong Yong had learned of Hexi's intentions and made corresponding arrangements.
"Murong Yong learned in advance that the loss of Jinyang would greatly affect the Hexi Army's raid on the eldest son."
"It's no longer realistic to go back to what was planned, and major adjustments have to be made."
"The minister was worried that the lord had misjudged the situation, so he secretly came to report in the name of going north to Jinyang."
Wei Shuo didn't blame Zhang Teng for running away from his eldest son, he knew very well how dangerous it was to be in the enemy camp as an internal candidate.
Not to mention that Zhang Teng still has a large family behind him, in case he is exposed, he will not be the only one who is unlucky.
Zhang Teng closed his eyes and was silent for a moment, then suddenly sighed, and said helplessly: "It's all my fault for this!" ”
"If I hadn't taken the liberty of leaving my eldest son, I would have been able to delay a little time for the army to act."
"Hey, sir's words are wrong, this matter has nothing to do with the dragon sparrow."
"You are right to leave, wait a little later, once the Hexi Army launches an offensive, Murong Yong will definitely not let Mr. go."
"Besides, the dragon bird has great talents, Shuo longs for Mr. for a long time, and he should leave a useful body to serve, how can he risk killing his eldest son in vain?"
Wei Shuo's comfort made Zhang Teng move to tears, and he repeatedly said that he had died because he had done his best to protect the capital.
After appeasing Zhang Teng, Wei Shuo then discussed with everyone the plan to seize the Shangdang.
The general said loudly: "As the saying goes: One force will drop ten times, even if Murong Yong knows? ”
"With the intention of the last general, simply kill the eldest son directly with great fanfare, what Murong Yong will not Murong Yong, just catch and cut it directly."
Cui Hao frowned and said: "There are still four hundred miles away from the eldest son, regardless of the terrain, even if you ride lightly, it will take two or three days." ”
"Not to mention that he has to cross Huo Taishan (now Taiyue Mountain) along the way, and Murong Yong already knows the news of the Hexi raid, he will definitely make arrangements."
"In this way, the army has become tired after a long journey, and it is difficult to overcome the eldest son who has to face heavy guards."
"At that time, the army will be in a dilemma, and if it is not managed, it will be completely annihilated."
"Well, Bo Yuan is right, the army is indeed not suitable for rash attacks."
"In addition to the 30,000 horses on the North Road, there are only more than 20,000 people in Xihe at present, and a large number of follow-up people have not yet arrived in Bingzhou."
"Unless it's a sneak attack, people can't attack the eldest son at all with this point."
"Bo Yuan, you have always been resourceful, I don't know what to think, let's hear it."
Cui Hao got up and saluted Wei Shuo, and hesitated: "Lord, the last general still has some immature thoughts in his heart. ”
"It doesn't matter if it's mature or not, let's hear it first."
"No! In the end, it will be thought that in the current dispute over the merger of states, Hexi has a slight upper hand on the whole. ”
"The only downside is that the news leaked out too quickly, so that the army lost the opportunity to raid the eldest son."
"But in this extraordinary time, extraordinary things must be done."
"How?" Wei Shuo stared at Cui Hao and asked.
"You can distinguish between light and dark moves, one positive and one strange."
"Yes, naturally, the army is openly advancing towards the eldest son, and the competition along the way is the real strength."
"Unless Murong Yong abandons his eldest son and leaves, I am afraid that a bloody battle will not be avoided."
"However, according to the minister's speculation, Murong Yong is reluctant to withdraw without a fight."
"Therefore, if the lord still wants to take down the eldest son at the minimum cost, he has to rely on surprise soldiers to attack."
"How do you get out?"
"Select some elites, rush to the eldest son in advance, and try to infiltrate the eldest son city in batches."
"After entering the city, it is best if you can wait for the opportunity to control the city gate, and when the army arrives, you can directly open the city gate to welcome the army into the city."
"If the city gates are not easy to control, they can also spread rumors and provoke internal strife in the city."
"In short, their task is to hide in the shadows and cooperate with the army to take down the eldest son."
Hearing this, Wei Shuo was a little disappointed, but he also knew that it should be the safest and most feasible strategy at the moment.
In this battle for the annexation of states, although Hexi took the lead at the beginning, Murong Yong occupied the advantage of the home field after all, and it was not easy for Hexi to swallow Xiyan in one bite.
In addition, in view of the importance of the location of the state, it is not excluded that Yao Xing, Murong Chui, and Tuoba Jue will join forces to snipe Hexi, just like sniping Hou Yan at the beginning.
"The last general is willing to go to the eldest son in advance."
"The last general is willing, too."
"Most of the protectors will be handed over to the subordinates, and the general will definitely cut off Murong Yong's head."
"Most of the protectors are willing to go."
One after another, the generals asked for war, which shows that none of these people are afraid of war.
In their opinion, although it is difficult to bring the elite to the eldest son secretly, once successful, it will definitely become famous.
Especially for the new joiners Huan Zhen, Sima Xiuzhi, Kuai En, etc., they will have the most new gravitational force, and they urgently need combat exploits to gain a firm foothold.
Wei Shuo thought about it carefully, and thought that it was not easy to go to the eldest son, it was the key to the destruction of Xiyan, and it was full of dangers, and the quality of the generals was extremely high, and it was necessary to be both civil and military.
Originally, Tan Daoji was scheming and was the best person to carry out the secret mission this time.
It's a pity that the people are working under Wang Zhenwei right now, and they are hurrying north to seize Yanmen Pass.
Wei Shuo glanced at the generals in the room, and finally fell on Huan Zhen's body.
This person has successfully attacked Gangneung twice in history, and each time it was done in a desperate situation.
"Daoquan!"
"The end will be." Huan Zhen took a step forward excitedly, he didn't expect good things to fall on his head.
"If you were to be the eldest son, how many people do you think would be appropriate?"
Huan Zhen seems to be reckless, but in fact, he is as meticulous as a hair.
He thought for a moment and said, "Since there is a sneak attack, naturally you can't bring too many people, and the final general thinks that two hundred elites are enough." ”
"Now that the eldest son is probably under martial law, how are you going to sneak into the city?" Wei Shuo asked again.
"Pretend to be a businessman and infiltrate in batches."
"How do you take the gates after you sneak in?"
"This ...... I haven't seen the eldest son's city defense in detail, and the last general doesn't dare to say anything. ”
"However, the so-called sneak attack is just an unpreparedness! I believe that as long as the general sees the opportunity, he will be able to hit it with one blow. ”
"Okay, this time you'll be in charge of infiltrating the eldest son!"
"After you depart, the army will arrive at the eldest son in ten days, and I will send someone to get in touch with you at that time."
"Shuo hopes that before this, you must make all preparations, as long as you successfully win the eldest son, you should be the first credit in this battle."
"Please rest assured, the end will not disappoint you."
After the meeting, after some simple preparations, Huan Zhen led two hundred elite horses out of the camp and headed for the eldest son.
This time it was a long-distance march of 400 miles, and the 200 men were all one man and three horses, and in addition to the mounts, there was also a horse specially used to carry goods.
After all, since you want to pretend to be a merchant, you naturally have to have relevant goods, otherwise how can you deceive the enemy for inspection?
However, Wei Shuo will soon know that he is a little optimistic about the situation and underestimates the importance of the state.
