Zhang Xuan and Fang Xuanling quickly glanced at each other, Fang Xuanling smiled unhurriedly: "The Turkic army is alone in the south, the supply is insufficient, as long as we seize the Lou Fu Pass, cut off their retreat, and camp heavy troops in the Mouse Bird Valley, so that the Turkic army can not go south and the south of the state, when they run out of military food, and they can't get supplies, they will definitely be in chaos without a fight, then it is time for us to completely annihilate the Turkic army, if we don't completely cripple the Turkic army, they will come again next time, won't we never have peace."

Wei Zheng nodded silently, and said for a while: "Your Highness is reasonable, this is our best chance, I will go back and tell my lord of my family about His Highness's thoughts." ”

Zhang Xuan said: "The next is the consultation on some details, which will be discussed by Fang Junshi and Mr. Specifically, I will not participate, if there is any doubt, although Mr. said bluntly, it is related to the common interests of the two countries, and I believe that both of us have sincerity." ”

Wei Zheng hurriedly got up to thank him, Zhang Xuan said two more words, and then turned to leave.

Fang Xuanling invited Wei Zheng to sit down again, and said with a smile: "Let's start with the deployment of troops on both sides!" ”

........

Zhang Xuan returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, still standing in front of the sand table and pondering, although he was very clear about Wei Zheng's statement, but he also knew in his heart that if they did not take practical and effective measures, they would probably lose the opportunity to completely annihilate the Turkic army, the reason why Chuluo Khan has not retreated now is because he has not yet received the news of the annihilation of the Zihe garrison, he has received a message from the flying eagle, and the Turks rely on war horses to gallop, the news will not be so fast.

The only way Zhang Xuan thought of was to take the initiative to attack before the main Turkic force got the news, and then let the Tang army cooperate with the battle and pay the price to exterminate the 100,000 Turkic army, but Zhang Xuan was worried about Li Jiancheng's scheming, Li Jiancheng was likely to wait for the Sui army and the Turkic army to lose both, and then he would come out to pick up the benefits of the fisherman, use the Turks to weaken the Northern Sui army, and then use the Northern Sui army to severely damage the Turks, the best of both worlds, will Li Jiancheng let it go?

Zhang Xuan was silent for a while, and at this time, a personal soldier said in a low voice: "Your Highness, General Wei asked to see him, and he said that there is something important." ”

Jang Hyun nodded, "Let him in!" ”

After a while, Wei Wentong hurriedly walked into the big tent, bowed and saluted: "There is a plan for the humble post to be dedicated to the marshal." ”

"What strategy?"

"About the capture of Lou Fu Pass!"

Zhang Xuan's spirits perked up, this is what he is most distressed about, does Wei Wentong really have a way?

"Keep talking!" Zhang Xuan hurriedly said.

Wei Wentong walked to the sand table, picked up the wooden pole and pointed to both sides of Lou Fu Pass, "Dashuai, Lou Fu Pass is actually a branch line of the Great Wall, the mountains on both sides are towering mountains and the continuous Great Wall, and the humble position can lead an army of 3,000 people up the mountain, just like the Turkic army broke through Zihe Pass, and along the Great Wall to kill Lou Fan Pass." ”

Zhang Xuan pondered and said: "Actually, I have considered this method, but Lou Fu Pass is different from Zihe Pass, there are cliffs on both sides of Lou Fu Pass, and the cliffs like knives are as high as more than ten zhang, how can you go down?" ”

"The lowly can use the soft ladder, the speed is just as fast, the lowly duty has done experiments, with three soft ladders, three thousand soldiers only need a stick of incense time to climb down, in the night action, can do thunder attack."

"But there's a patrol down there, how do you solve it? The Turkic army counterattacked much faster than a stick of incense. ”

"This is the key, the lowly has done something when evacuating Lou Fu Pass, I will send a scout team to infiltrate Lou Fu Pass in advance, kill the sentinels and patrol posts in the west of the city, and control the opening and closing of the north and south city gates at the same time."

Zhang Xuan paced back and forth in the camp with his hands, he still felt that the risk was too great, the Turkic army sent 50,000 troops to control Lou Fu Pass, where is it so easy to get it, even if it is lucky, how to hold it?

Wei Wentong saw that the coach was silent, and he knew that the coach didn't believe in his plan, and he was a little anxious.

"Marshal Qiyu, the humble position is very aware of the defense of the Turkic army in Lou Fan Pass, there are 10,000 troops stationed in the south of Guancheng, and 30,000 troops in the north of Guancheng, but these two armies are not stationed under Guancheng, but more than ten miles away from Lou Fu Pass, as long as they destroy the alarm beacon in time, they will not even know that Lou Fu Pass has been captured."

Speaking of this, Wei Wentong took out a thick volume of battle plans from his arms and presented it to Zhang Xuan: "The humble post has been planned for a long time, and all the details have been considered, I implore Your Highness to agree!" ”

Zhang Xuan took the thick volume of the plan, and was a little surprised in his heart, it turned out that Wei Wentong had been preparing for a long time, and it seemed that the loss of Lou Fuguan made Wei Wentong breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "Let me see!" Ok or no, give you a clear answer by noon. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Wei Wentong bowed and slowly retreated, Zhang Xuan opened the plan and read it carefully.......

Half an hour later, Zhang Xuan was still in front of the sand table to discuss the feasibility of Wei Wentong's plan, at this time, Fang Xuanling opened the curtain and walked in, Zhang Xuan temporarily put down the report and asked with a smile: "Is Wei Zheng gone?" ”

Fang Xuanling nodded, "We have communicated in detail, and he has to rush back to report to Li Jiancheng immediately." ”

"Do you think Li Jiancheng has the sincerity to cooperate?"

Fang Xuanling sighed and said, "Wei Zheng also clearly told me that Li Jiancheng prefers the Turkic army to retreat without a fight, but Weichen feels ...... There is no sincerity on the Chang'an side. ”

"You mean Li Yuan?"

Fang Xuanling nodded, "Of course Wei Zheng won't tell me, but he inadvertently missed a sentence, Li Jiancheng and Chang'an don't agree on the same opinion, then I'm thinking, Li Jiancheng is inclined to the Turks to take the initiative to withdraw their troops, does Li Yuan want Li Jiancheng to actively cooperate with us and annihilate the Turkic army in Taiyuan County?" It is absolutely impossible, then there is a possibility, Li Jiancheng only wants how to keep the state, but Li Yuan is thinking about taking advantage of the defeat of the Turkic army and the Turkic army, sending a large army to annihilate our two armies together, which should be the disagreement between Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan. ”

"The military advisor is right, when we went on an expedition to Goguryeo, Li Yuan was thinking about stabbing us in the back, and when we intercepted Yu Wenhua, he did the same, in the hearts of this person, we are more threatening to him than anyone else, and when we were fighting with the Turks, he gave us a knife from the back, and he did it completely, but he finally sued for peace with the Turks."

"Your Highness, the heart of defense is indispensable!"

Zhang Xuan took a few steps with his hands, rather than letting the Turkic army retreat north to the steppe like this, it was better to take a risk, judging from Wei Wentong's detailed plan, he had at least a thirty percent chance of success.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan ordered again: "Quickly let General Wei come to see me!" ”

..........

The west of Lou Fu Pass belongs to the north line of the Luliang Mountain Range, and the east belongs to the remaining veins of Taihang Mountain, the two major mountain systems converge here, there are high mountains and steep mountains everywhere, the cliffs are precipitous, the terrain is very dangerous, and Lou Fan Pass is just a valley road gap, and it is also the edge of the mountain fault, so the terrain from Lou Fu Pass to the south is sharply reduced, from the south to the north, Lou Fan Pass is located in a high place, and it is very difficult to attack it from the south.

And both sides of Lou Fu Pass are also mountains, and it is a cliff, the Great Wall suddenly breaks here, in fact, there is no Great Wall to the east of Lou Fu Pass, it is actually the end of the branch line of the Great Wall in the west.

Wei Wentong's plan is to hang down the pass from the Great Wall in the west, which is also because the cliff in the west is short, only 11 zhang high, while the cliff in the east is more than 30 zhang high, which is completely unrealistic.

Of course, the Turkic army also guarded against the possibility of the Sui army entering the pass from the western Great Wall, so a sentry tower was built under the western cliff, and several soldiers stared at the western cliff day and night, and immediately sounded the alarm once there was an abnormality, and at the same time, there were more than a dozen soldiers patrolling this section at night to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Therefore, without internal response, it was basically impossible for the Sui army to break through from the western cliff into Guancheng.

However, the Turkic army stationed heavy troops in the north and south of Lou Fan Pass, and made Lou Fan Pass a big pass, and the army killed from the north had to defeat the defense of 30,000 people, and the same was true for the south, the army killed from the south had to break through the defense of 10,000 people, so the garrison of the pass itself was not much, only two or three thousand people.

That night, an elite scout army of more than 100 people, under the leadership of Wang Xuanjing, crossed the western mountain and quietly arrived at the north of Loufu Pass under the cover of night, which is what the infantry can do but the cavalry can't.

Wang Xuanjing is Wei Chigong's favorite general, temporarily seconded to Wei Wentong, he is the same as Wei Wentong, because of the loss of Lou Fu Pass and held his breath, bent on recapturing Lou Fu Pass, he and Wei Wentong tacitly cooperated, one led the army down the cliff, and the other infiltrated the city as an internal response.

The Sui soldiers walked quickly through the woods on the hillside, and in front of them was a white boulder, about ten years long, quite like a stone fish half buried in the earth.

The soldiers all knew this boulder, and they stopped their steps, and they came out of the woods in front, Wang Xuanjing climbed the boulder to look ahead, and fifty steps in front was the northwest corner of Lou Fu Pass. (To be continued.) )
