Obedient and obedient, as soon as Yang Guang spoke, Wang Shichong reacted, Yang Guang was still not at ease with Yang Su, and he was also suspicious of his plan, after all, if all the troops in his hands were handed over to Yang Su, it would be strange if Yang Guang did not mutter.

So a big stone in Wang Shichong's heart can be regarded as falling to the ground, it seems that Yang Guang has not found himself, and now he still regards himself as a confidant, maybe he can use this to fight for more space for himself in the future, of course, it is impossible to let Yang Guang really regard himself as a cronie, but he is not afraid of being used, he is afraid that you are useless, once he loses his use value, plus he knows a lot of Yang Guang's unsightly secrets, I am afraid that it is too late for him to raise troops, Yang Guang will attack himself.

So Wang Shichong thought about it pretending to be pretty, and said: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Yue Guo is a famous general in the world, and the analysis of the shape is also a whip into it, but the hearts of the people are separated from the belly, especially at this moment of alternating powers, it is better to be cautious, Weichen thinks that he can let the Duke of Yue Guo take five thousand Xiaoguo troops out of the customs first, but this time he can't let all his sons go with him, at most he can only bring Yang Xuangan alone, and the other sons and the families of Yue Guogong, as well as the families of the five thousand Xiaoguo soldiers, must be concentrated in the capital, Take good control zhì. ”

Yang Guang's brows furrowed: "Outside the king, you obviously don't trust Yue Guogong like this, he is just afraid that it is impossible not to see your intentions." ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Yue also needs to prove his loyalty to you, now that the King of Han has raised troops, the soldiers and horses from all over the world have not yet been recruited." Some powerful factions with heavy armies may take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. Therefore, His Majesty first has to see whether the coach of Yue Guogong is loyal and reliable. Yang Liang has already captured Puzhou, and now I don't know if he has entered Tongguan, so let Yue Guogong set off first with 5,000 Xiaoguo troops as he said, if he can repel the rebels and recapture Puzhou as he said, as long as he is loyal to the emperor, he will ride back to Daxing alone. Then to requisition the remaining troops, at this time the emperor can fully trust the Duke of Yue. ”

"On the contrary, if the front line of Yue Guogong cannot repel the army of the Han King and cannot capture Puzhou, then the emperor cannot hand over all the troops to the command of Yue Guogong, and it is advisable to let General Yu Wenshu be the commander."

Yang Guang said "oh": "Why is this?" The rebels' vanguard troops have tens of thousands of elites, and the Duke of Yue is only 5,000 Xiaoguo, and he wants to attack the city, and the fact that he can't defeat Puzhou doesn't mean that he is disloyal. ”

Wang Shichong said with a straight face: "That Qiu He made it clear just now that the enemy army is not a regular army with heavy iron armor. It is a group of swordsman rangers raised by Yang Liang, and these people are simply unable to compete with the Xiaoguo Iron Cavalry on the battlefield. It is probably that Yang Liang is also recruiting troops from Bingzhou now, so he just sent this lightly armed force to raid Puzhou and master the ferry, and Yue Guogong's troops are enough to clean up this enemy army. I am afraid that he will deliberately say that the enemy is outnumbered and come back to ask for more troops, and if you give him all 50,000 troops under his command, you may be in trouble. At that time, whether Yue Guogong turned back to attack Daxing, or took the opportunity to support his troops and self-respect, in an attempt to divide the territory, he would not be able to control it. ”

"If he recaptures Puzhou, it means that Yue Guogong is loyal, at this time, if he leaves the troops to guard Puzhou and returns alone, it will definitely require a large army to directly approach and annex the state, and the emperor can fully trust Yue Guogong at this time."

Yang Guang nodded with satisfaction: "Wang Yuanwai is really smart and has insight into people's hearts, so in your opinion, if the Duke of Yue Guo is willing to help me with all his might, how good is Yang Liang's rebellion this time?" How long will it take us to put out the rebellion? ”

Wang Shichong smiled: "Yang Liang is still too anxious this time, he sent a doorman to attack Puzhou without levying an army, and after taking it, he didn't take advantage of the situation to capture Tongguan, which has lost the only opportunity to attack Guanzhong, what His Majesty has to do now is to let Yue Guogong lead the troops to set off, in case Yang Liang has a capable person around him to speak and send a large army to attack Guanzhong regardless of a single qiē, things will become a little troublesome." ”

Wang Shichong said, while thinking about Yang Liang's next move, from his point of view, he didn't want Yang Liang to really fight for his life, that is a win or a loss is a hammer deal, not in line with his own idea of letting the world fight for a long time, so as to take the opportunity to take the opportunity to take charge of the army and stand on his own, if Yang Su can form a hold with Yang Liang in the Puzhou area, it is not easy for five thousand cavalry to capture the strong city of Puzhou, when Yang Su does not have a large army in his hands, he will slow down the speed of the march, and give Yang Liang's main force to capture the two states of Shuodai, If you are lucky, you can intercept Changsun Sheng, who is crossing the Turks, in the southern region of the Turks, and force him to join forces with Yang Liang.

Yang Guang's brows softened: "Wang Yuanwai, you said it very well, it's up to you, this time you work hard, follow Yue Guogong's troops first." It is up to you to be my eyes and ears to see the whole process of this counterinsurgency operation with your own eyes. ”

Wang Shichong was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Yang Guang to actually send himself to Yang Su's army, Rao is he was full of wisdom and calmness, and he was still stunned for a while, Yang Guang's voice sounded again: "Wang Yuanwai, is there anything wrong?" I know that you have not been promoted to an official position that matches your merits during the period of the emperor, and you have always asked for leave all these years, so you should be angry, but you can rest assured, here I must have clear rewards and punishments, and I will not bury you. ”

Wang Shichong hurriedly made a grateful look, knelt on the ground, and said: "The minister must be crushed to repay His Majesty's kindness!"

Yang Guang walked in front of Wang Shichong, bent down, and whispered in his ear: "Outside the prince, I know that you personally helped me solve the King of Fangling, and I will remember your loyalty." ”

The head of Puzhou City has been replaced with a Chinese character flag, and it is hunting and fluttering in the wind.

Under the banner, Pei Wen'an, who looked like he was in his forties, dressed in black and dressed in a gloomy face, was standing at the head of the city, staring at the clearly visible Pujin Bridge three miles outside the city.

Because Wang Hao is named as a Taiyuan Wang, he is an outsider, and he has no foundation in Bingzhou. Therefore, it was used boldly by Yang Liang with confidence. And this Pei Wenan is younger. The qualifications are still insufficient, and secondly, the Pei family's local power in Sanjin is too great, and they are also feared by Yang Liang, so he ranks his position below Wang Cheng as a deputy.

Pei Wen'an also knew this, so he didn't compete with that king, on the one hand, he was bent on making a battle plan, and on the other hand, he also used the Pei family's huge influence in the Sanjin region. Recruit ranger swordsmen as Yang Liang's disciples, and the more than 40,000 personal guards of the Han Palace's personal guards were summoned by Pei Wen'an.

Pei Wenan put forward a plan on the spot to prepare the more than 40,000 guests, and personally led more than 1,000 guests to set off, first letting more than 200 people set off in batches, more than 10 people in a team, dressed as merchants, rode to the four gates of Puzhou City, and then dismounted and entered the city separately.

There was already a pre-prepared armory in the city. As soon as these people entered the city, they got their weapons, and waited until the team that falsely claimed to be the palace maid of the Han Dynasty entered the city. The inside and outside should cooperate and directly kill the officers and soldiers defending the city, and most of the more than 200 swordsmen with high martial arts rushed to the assassination mansion and carried out the beheading operation, Qiu He and others were defeated and the city fell before they even had time to organize resistance.

Pei Wen'an was straddling one foot on the city plate at this time, the elbow of his right hand was propped up on the knee of that leg, and the palm of his hand was open, supporting his chin in a figure-eight gesture, contemplating.

Suddenly, he turned his head and said to a person beside him who was wrapped in a black cloak and only showed a pair of bright eyes: "Xuan Cheng, do you say that King Han can cross the river desperately?" ”

Since Wei Zheng was sent by Wang Shichong to connect with Pei Wen'an, he has been fighting with Pei Wen'an, and they are commensurate with each other, and this time the strategy of attacking Puzhou is also based on the fact that Wei Zheng bought a lot of master warriors hidden in the business in advance, and made a surprise attack on the assassination of Shifu, killing the city's Changshi and Sima, so as to paralyze the city defense and let Pei Wen'an capture the city in one fell swoop. His eyes sparkled: "Nine times out of ten, no, King Han is not that material, not as ruthless and decisive as your Brother Pei, in my opinion, there are only three ways to succeed." ”

Pei Wenan took his legs back and asked Wei Zheng solemnly: "Which three roads?" ”

Wei Zheng smiled "hehe", touched the beard under his chin, his eyes looked at the Pujin Bridge in the distance, but his mouth said: "The best strategy is naturally for the whole army to enter the customs, if you can really do this, then my lord will definitely try to respond, but unfortunately King Han is not this kind of person, so there is no need to discuss this." ”

Pei Wen'an was still a little unconvinced, and argued strongly: "This is not necessarily, since the King of Han has approved my plan for this soldier to raid Puzhou quickly, he will definitely lead the follow-up army over, if he sees such a good shape, how can he not wave his army into the pass?" ”

Wei Zheng sighed, shook his head, and said, "Wen'an, you actually know very well in your own heart that if King Han really had this intention, he should stand here now, instead of finding a reason to transfer troops and rubbing behind." ”

"If King Han personally leads the team, he can take these strong men to attack Tongguan now, and even if he is more decisive, he will not attack Puzhou, and directly use this trick to capture Tongguan, if he really does that, my lord can respond to you in Guanzhong now, it's a pity, it's a pity!"

Pei Wen'an was silent for a moment, he mentioned this plan to Yang Liang, but Yang Liang felt that it was too radical, and he vetoed this proposal, but asked Pei Wen'an to seize Puzhou first, and then decide whether to enter Guanzhong according to the situation.

Pei Wen'an was still a little unwilling, pointing to the Pujin Bridge and said: "The effect of this raid on Puzhou is very perfect, now the bridge is in my hands, enough for the forty thousand troops to pass in one day, although Qiu He ran away, but it will take two days for him to return to Daxing, plus Yang Guang will take time to transfer troops, we have enough time to take Tongguan." ”

Pei Wen'an turned his head and glanced in the direction behind him again, as if he could see the smoke and dust in the distance, and a hint of joy flashed on his face: "The latest report just now, the army of the Han King has left the city less than one hundred and fifty miles, and it will arrive tomorrow night at most." ”

Wei Zheng smiled and shook his head: "If King Han's army is here now, then there is still a bit of drama, but unfortunately, his subordinates don't have many cavalry, mixed with infantry and baggage, it would be good to arrive in two days." Wen'an, you still have to think about what you are going to do if the King of Han orders the bridge to be burned and retreated. ”

Pei Wen'an's eyes widened suddenly, and he shouted in surprise: "How is this possible?!" ”

The smile on Wei Zheng's face slowly faded, and a look of hatred for iron and steel appeared on his face: "This is precisely the greatest possibility." Don't forget who is with King Han now. Wang Fei and Xiao Maha are both masters who want to go south to Jiangnan when they find the slightest opportunity. They all want to be Han Shin! ”

Pei Wen'an suddenly looked like a deflated ball. He sat down on the opening between the battlements, and his voice became weak: "But their southward march to Jiangnan does not contradict my plan to seize Guanzhong!" ”

Wei Zheng shook his head: "The troops directly controlled by the King of Han are now only thirty or forty thousand people in the camp outside Jinyang City, except for the palace guards and dragoon guards. ”

"Your plan was problematic from the beginning, and now your raid on Puzhou is tactically successful. But strategically, it has also clearly set up a counter-flag. Now you don't have the name of righteousness, and it is too reluctant to rely on the banner of a Qing monarch to punish traitorous ministers. ”

"The King of Han himself is not a person with great ambitions, what he really hopes is to be able to keep the land of Northern Qi like this, and always be his King of Han, if he didn't know that Yang Guang would never tolerate his brother, he would not have raised troops this time, so his determination was not firm at the beginning, and he suffered from gains and losses, how could he directly attack Guanzhong and give it a go?"

Pei Wenan defended unconvinced: "But he still raised troops after all." And I also used this plan of mine, and now the big thing has been accomplished. What reason is there not to take advantage of the victory to pursue and enter the pass? ”

Wei Zheng smiled: "There are many reasons, first, what Wang Hao and Xiao Maha really want is to go down to the south of the Yangtze River, not to enter the Guanzhong, they will definitely keep telling the King of Han that the fighter plane has been lost, the Tongguan defenders have been prepared, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court will come soon, and they will not be able to achieve the intention of raiding Guanzhong." ”

"Second, Qiu He ran away, someone reported to Yang Guang, now that Yang Guang has known about the affairs of Puzhou, he will definitely spread the word to the world to discuss the King of Han, in this case, stabilizing his rear is fundamental."

"Third, what the real Han king should do now is either to send a partial division out of the south of the Yangtze River, or to make every effort to open up contact with the Turks in the north, as long as there is strong reinforcement from outside, many states and counties with a wait-and-see attitude will also fall to the side of the Han king. This is what I just said about the middle and bottom strategies. ”

"This fourth, that is, the king of Han is simply a soft-eared person, looking forward and backward, hesitating, as long as Wang Fei clearly understands the three reasons as I did just now, he will definitely order the pontoon bridge to be burned, and the army will return to Jinyang. Wen An, you have been following the King of Han for so many years, do you think for yourself whether he will listen to you or listen to what I just said? ”

Pei Wen'an still didn't give up, and said, "Wang Yan may not speak like you said. ”

Wei Zheng laughed: "You and Wang have known each other for many years, and they have been planning this time together, and you must know his ability very well, what I said, he will definitely pour it into the ears of King Han word for word, and even more." ”

"So Wen'an, if you receive a formal order from the King of Han to burn the bridge in a while, you must not hate Wang Yan, let alone because he hinders your plan, you will ruin his plan to march into Jiangnan, and you must help him persuade the King of Han to send troops through Jiangnan."

Pei Wenan snorted disdainfully: "He is bad for me, why should I do his good deeds?" ”

Wei Zheng's expression revealed a hint of resoluteness and ruthlessness, and he said decisively: "Because you are now grasshoppers on a rope, only if the King of Han does not fall, you can live, and the current situation is that his strategy of going down to the south of the Yangtze River is much more reliable and realistic than your entry into the customs, and it is basically the only possibility for you to succeed." ”

Pei Wen'an was stunned at first, and then laughed: "Xuancheng, are you dizzy?" You yourself said that Wang Cheng and Xiao Maha returned to Jiangnan because they wanted to be self-reliant and wanted to be Han Xin, so it is also the most reliable way to success? ”

Wei Zheng's eyes flashed with coldness: "Back then, Henkel didn't rely on Han Xin, how could he beat Xiang Yu in the front, why can he be defeated again and again after repeated defeats, isn't it because of the power that Han Xin developed behind Xiang Yu?" ”

"It is true that Wang Fei wants to stand on his own, but it is impossible to fight against the imperial court alone with the strength of Jiangnan, which he knows very well, so at least in the initial stage, he will be restrained by the king of Han."

Pei Wenan shook his head: "That's not good, raise this white-eyed wolf, it will be difficult to clean it up in the future, Han Xin was taken away by Han Gaozu into the barracks alone, Wang Fei is not such a person." ”

Wei Zheng said in a deep voice: "People must first solve their current difficulties before they can talk about the future, if you don't take this step now, then everyone can only end up in a group, and what will you talk about in the future." If the king of Han can really seize the world, he can also clean up the king's hair, and it will be a big deal to have another battle to destroy Chen in the south. ”

Pei Wenan suddenly waved his hand: "I won't talk to you about this first, Xuancheng, you have always said that Wang Yan's plan to go to the south of the Yangtze River and pass through the south of Chen's hometown is more reliable than my plan to enter the customs now, why?" Xuancheng, didn't you support this plan yourself? Could it be that just because you ran away from Qiuhe, it became unreliable? He thought about it and was still not convinced by this sentence, and he had to say why Wei Zheng had to say it. (To be continued......)
