Hongfu's forehead began to sweat, but she still smiled calmly: "Fan Zigai? He is just an old minister in the south of the Yangtze River, he has only been a civil official all his life, he has almost never led soldiers, and he has not been reused when he was the emperor, does he really have the ability to defend the eastern capital? ”

Wang Shichong shook his head and sighed: "Fan Zigai's ability is far stronger than you think, Red Whisk girl, the most dangerous thing is here, if even you think that this Fan Zigai is very easy to deal with, then Yang Xuangan must have the same opinion, if his own strength is not superior, and if he underestimates the enemy, it will be difficult to have a chance of winning." ”

Hongfu's eyes widened: "Is this Fan Zigai really so powerful?" So why do you have great skills, but you can't reuse them in the past? ”

Wang Shichong said coldly: "This Fan Zigai was born in the south of the Yangtze River, not the son of the Guanlong family, and his father was an official in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and later after the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty, he came out of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and even the Great Sui, it can be said that his background is very bad, and such a person is naturally rare to use." But his talent, is even Yang Su and Gao Ying are full of praise, Yang Guang last time in the expedition to Tuyuhun, once personally saw this Fan Zigai's ability to govern the army, plus he has no foundation, it is not easy to rebel, so this time this foundation is not enough to become Fan Zigai's advantage, Yang Guang can rest assured to leave him in the Eastern Capital, I think Yang Xuangan will suffer a big loss this time on this surnamed Fan. ”

The sweat on her red face became more and more, and her voice began to tremble slightly: "Wang, Wang Shichong, don't scare me, this Fan Zigai is really stronger than my father-in-law and Li Mi's talents?" I don't believe it! ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "Li Mi and Yang Xuangan are naturally extremely talented people, one is an invincible general in the world, and the other is a black-bellied and peerless strategist, it is said that these two join forces, and it is difficult to have someone in the world who can stop them." But the capital they had in their hands this time was too small, and Yang Guang did not leave the army for Yang Xuangan to dispatch at all. Except for the hundreds of Ding tribes of the Yang family, Yang Xuangan can be said to have nothing, and the only thing he can do is to find an excuse to frame someone for rebellion or overbearing. Organize the people and boatmen who were transferred in Liyang, and then take the opportunity to attack the surrounding states and counties, open the arsenal, and obtain weapons, only this way can organize tens of thousands of troops in a short period of time. ”

Hongfu's face was a little more normal: "Yes, this style of play is very good and reliable." Wang Shichong, in this way, do you think the lord is hopeful of raising troops? ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "If he doesn't fight the eastern capital, but abides by our agreement, he will break through several cangs along the way, it is best to go back to Luocang and Luokoucang, and then find a way to defeat the troops who came out to intercept the eastern capital, and make it look like he wants to capture the eastern capital." forced Fan Zigai to withdraw his troops to defend the city, and even forced the Sui Dynasty garrison in the Daxing area to go out of Tongguan to rescue the eastern capital. If you find a way to eat this reinforcement, then Guanzhong will be at your fingertips. ”

Wei Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Lord, are you so sure that the troops of Daxing City will definitely come out to rescue?" Aren't they afraid of being ambushed by Yang Xuangan on the way? ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "After all, the eastern capital is the capital of the Sui Dynasty, and it is far from being comparable to the capital of Daxing. If Daxing is attacked, then the soldiers and horses of the eastern capital may not move, but if the eastern capital is in danger, the garrison of Daxing will definitely go out. If Yang Xuangan and Li Mi had planned properly, they should have laid a dark line in Daxing when they started the army. As soon as the Sui Dynasty army left, these dark lines took the opportunity to raise troops and capture Daxing, so that Guanzhong was all Yang and Li! ”

When Wang Shichong said this, he turned his head to look at the silent red breeze, and said with a smile: "Has your father-in-law made such an arrangement?" Does he have an internal response in Guanzhong? ”

Hongfu bit her lip tightly, and her face was solemn: "No, at least in the past three or four years, my lord has been befriending the children of the family in the Eastern Capital, and the children of the old Guanlong nobles in Daxing have moved around very little." ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "As I thought, Yang Xuangan didn't have the heart to take the guan at all, and he aimed at the Eastern Capital from the beginning, otherwise, even if he went to join forces with Yang Su's old subordinates in the past, such as Li Zixiong, who were idle at home, it would not be like this." ”

Wei Zheng suddenly said: "My lord, is it possible for Yang Xuangan to really attack the eastern capital, and then inadvertently destroy the reinforcements in the direction of Guanzhong by attacking the city, he is also a famous general, once he feels that the eastern capital is heavily guarded and cannot be captured, and the main force in Guanzhong is lost, if it is already empty, will he simply turn around and take Guanzhong directly, even if there is no internal response, there is a great possibility of success." ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "This is his only possibility of success, if he can take Luokou and return to Luocang, open a warehouse and release grain, attract the tyranny of the Sui Dynasty forced cornered, for the thieves and bandits to join, there can be 100,000 troops in ten months, but I am afraid that after Yang Xuangan has strength, he will swell up, and feel that attacking Luoyang is not a problem, even if he destroys the reinforcements of Daxing, I am afraid that he will not let go of the eastern capital and go to Daxing." ”

Hongfu gritted his teeth: "Wang Shichong, is this all your judgment?" Are you so sure that even if my lord has 100,000 people, he can't beat Luoyang? ”

Wang Shichong nodded very seriously: "Yes, the defenders of Luoyang are the most elite, and the city defense of Luoyang City is extremely strong, and the defense equipment on the city is unimaginably sophisticated, only when Yang Xuangan personally sees the cannon flying stone, the eight-armed crossbow and other weapons to defend the city, will he know how ridiculous his thoughts are." It's just that I'm afraid that by that time, he won't have time to correct his mistakes. ”

Hongfu's eyes widened: "What cannon flying stone, eight-armed divine crossbow, why haven't I heard of it?" ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "This is a skilled craftsman who died of illness at the end of last year, and will be the chief eunuch Yu Wenkai, when he was building the Eastern Capital during his lifetime, according to an ancient mechanical scroll obtained by chance, the secret weapon created, the cannon flying stone is a particularly powerful trebuchet, which can throw ten catties of stones five hundred steps away, and the eight-armed crossbow is an eight-arm heavy crossbow machine that rotates on a continuous axis, shooting not a bow and arrow, but a spear as long as one and a half feet, like the spokes of a wheel, and the blade is like an axe, a hundred steps away, No matter how thick your shield is, it can be pierced with one blow. ”

Hongfu's face began to turn pale: "I have visited the city of the Eastern Capital many times, and I know all the defensive fortifications and war equipment clearly, but how come I have never seen such a powerful thing?" (To be continued.) )
