Chapter 1295: Yang Xuangan's Final Choice
Li Mi's face changed: "Big brother, this is not the time to brag and boast about Haikou, relying on thousands, tens of thousands of people who lack equipment and have no training, boatmen, even if they break some nearby states and counties and obtain some equipment, how can they succeed in storming the eastern capital?" ”
Yang Xuangan smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, Brother Mi, after you have finished talking about these three articles, I now have my own judgment, you listen to my analysis one by one, and finally decide together, how about it?" ”
Li Mi nodded: "Okay." The eldest brother, please speak, and the younger brother listens. ”
Yang Xuangan cleared his throat, looked at the ferry in the north, and said, "This first, the best policy you said is to take Zhuojun directly." Now the guard of Zhuo County is the general Li Jing, and the soldiers and horses guarding Zhuo County are seventy or eighty thousand, this is Yang Guang's rear base, tightly guarded, and there are many bandits in Hebei, it is not that no one has fought the idea of Zhuo County before, and they have been repelled and exterminated by Li Jing's army, so their combat readiness level is extremely high, even if we block the news, as long as we move, Zhuo County will know the news of our army in a day or two, according to what you said, if you advance by land and water, it will take at least four or five days to reach Zhuo County, and there is no suddenness at all, this road, there is no way. ”
Li Mi gritted his teeth: "Then we can mix in the transportation team, hide the troops in the boat, and go directly to Zhuojun by water, and when the time comes, we can also attack Zhuojun in one fell swoop." ”
Yang Xuangan shook his head: "Brother Mi, you are a dangerous move, and you have pinned all your hopes on this sneak attack, which is actually completely infeasible. Not to mention that if we want to raise troops, we can only recruit some men and boatmen, these people are untrained, how can tens of thousands of people be banned like elite soldiers? It's impossible not to show flaws. Besides. 10,000 people. Even if there are 100 people in each boat. It also takes a hundred big ships, and we only send more than ten transport ships to Zhuojun every day, so many more at once, Li Jing will not be suspicious? Besides, if the troop carrier is to be used, the draft will obviously be much deeper, and the speed will be slow, but I am afraid that we will encounter Li Jingyan's army before we reach the halfway point. When the time comes, the sneak attack will turn into a frontal battle, Brother Mi, what do you think we have a chance of winning? ”
Li Mi sighed: "Okay, maybe this plan is a bit risky, then let's talk about the second one, go straight to Guanzhong, I have carefully considered this plan, it is not risky, it is completely feasible, as long as we can hit the eastern capital." Daxing's soldiers and horses will come to the rescue, and we can sneak attack Tongguan when the time comes. I know that there is a forbidden road behind Tongguan, we can send someone to sneak over early, seize the pass, and then change into the uniform of the Sui army, pretend to be guarded, and wait for the troops in the pass to enter the Tongguan mountain road, on both sides of the hundreds of miles of mountain road, we are all over the ambush, rolling stones and trees, and the enemy army will not return the armor, big brother, what do you think? ”
Yang Xuan sighed: "Brother Mi, your style of play is not very good, at least it is not as good as taking the Eastern Capital directly." I won't discuss whether your method of seizing Tongguan and ambushing reinforcements can succeed, even if you succeed, is it our good thing to destroy this army? ”
Li Mi's face changed: "Big brother, what does this mean?" ”
Yang Xuan said with a straight face: "Our army is to win the support of the Guanlong family, so that those Guanlong children in Guanzhong sympathize with us and join us, instead of forming a mortal enmity with them, Daxing's garrison troops are the soldiers of Guanzhong, these people have been the family members of the Guanlong generals for many years, rooted in Guanlong, and now guarding Daxing's Xijing Guard Xuan, is its representative, if he hears the news of our army, he will indeed mobilize this army immediately as the secret brother said, Temporarily conscripted the children of the Guanlong family who stayed in Daxing to serve as middle and lower-level officers, and then killed Xiangdongdu. ”
"But if we wipe out this army through ambush warfare, the Tongguan Road is hundreds of miles, and we throw down rolling stones and trees, and we will only harvest dead people and corpses, and there will be no prisoners. This means that although we have killed tens of thousands of Guanzhong troops, we have also formed mortal enemies with the children of the Guanzhong family, as well as the families and relatives of those government soldiers. Do you really think that's a good thing? ”
Li Mi's forehead began to sweat: "It's impossible to fight without dying, even if you fight head-on, you can't fight and kill, big brother, at this critical time, you can't be a woman's kindness." ”
Yang Xuangan shook his head, and said: "This is not a woman's benevolence, but a very realistic choice, the people in Guanzhong are strong, maybe when Wei Xuan led the troops to go on the expedition, he didn't want to make a mortal enmity with us, just did his duty, fought on the ground, once the enemy army was defeated, he couldn't kill many people, but he could capture a large number of enemy soldiers, as long as he knew the benefits, he could let them be used by me." On the contrary, if all these people are killed in Tongguan Road, then these people's children, nephews and relatives will all hate us to the core, and even if the children of Guanlong near Daxing, the families of each family, and the brothers and nephews will be organized into tens of thousands of people, and they will fight to the death with us, do you really think that Guanzhong is so easy to get? Even if we fight hard, can we calmly recruit troops here and block the retaliation of Yang Guangjun's army? Brother Mi, this will be the loss of people's hearts. ”
Li Mi gritted his teeth: "Then don't set up an ambush in Tongguan, let them fight head-on, and after the fight, go straight to Guanzhong, how about it?" ”
Yang Xuan sighed: "Brother Mi, think about it, if these tens of thousands of Guanzhong troops are defeated and eaten by us, the strength of our army will be greatly increased, and the people of the world will see that we force the defenders of the eastern capital to dare not go out of the city, and the reinforcements of Daxing will be wiped out, and many families will fall to us, and even some people in the eastern capital will secretly think about opening the city and surrendering." ”
"When the time comes, we can kill two birds with one stone, not only eat the Guanzhong army, but also directly force the eastern capital to surrender in Kaecheng, do we need to go to Guanzhong in one more move and occupy that Daxing City? Since ancient times, it is difficult to get in, and it is not easy to come out, and it is really in Guanzhong, and there is also the possibility of directly sealing in the land of Sanfu, and not being able to go out of the Central Plains to compete for the world. ”
Li Mi sighed: "Big brother, you haven't thought that Daxing's reinforcements are behind our army, and the defenders of the eastern capital also have more than 100,000 people. ”
Yang Xuangan's eyes were bright, and he said proudly: "I'm not afraid of him coming, I'm afraid he won't come!" Under the eastern capital, I just want to make it the tomb of the Sui army! (To be continued.) )
