Wei Chenliang's wishful thinking is also in the past.

In fact, it was nothing more than letting Qin Shaoyou take care of one thing and lose the other.

Although he didn't have the courage to compete with Qin Shaoyou, he had the intention of taking advantage of the fire to rob.

Qin Shaoyou and the two Fang Jing and Wang Fangyi want to discuss this issue.

This situation continues, obviously puts Qin Shaoyou in a passive position, fighting on both sides, it is extremely unwise, and now the attitudes of the princes of all parties are ambiguous, obviously waiting to see the direction of the wind, now Qin Shaoyou and the imperial court have completely turned against each other, so next, has caused a lot of harm to many merchants, after all, Hangu Pass has been blocked, the original trade in Guanzhong has been cut off, and other Wei towns, for the merchants of Shence Mansion, also showed an unwelcome posture, in this case, want to relieve this pressure. Qin Shaoyou was needed to destroy the enemy in at least one direction.

But if you want to destroy it, it is not easy to say.

At present, although Qin Shaoyou has more than 200,000 elite soldiers, but more than 30 states and more than 100 counties, how can they not leave troops and horses, now it is a troubled time, and the princes around who have not expressed their stance don't look honest now, but once Qin Shaoyou evacuates all the garrisons in various places, who knows if they will take advantage of the fire to rob?

Therefore, the soldiers and horses stationed in various places need at least about 80,000, and the real ones that can be drawn out are only 150,000, and the number of 150,000 is mainly in the direction of defense, and it is Hangu Pass, otherwise the official army of the imperial court will go out of Hangu Pass and launch an attack on Luoyang, and at that time, the entire Luoyang will be completely exposed to the noses of the officials and soldiers, even if it can be defeated in the end, but the result is ...... It must not be good, and the losses are particularly heavy.

The entire metropolis of Luoyang is no more than other places, the general siege and defense battles. It is nothing more than that as soon as the besiegers arrive, the other side closes the city gates, holds on for a few months, and then counterattacks as soon as the reinforcements arrive.

As for Luoyang, there used to be a city wall. But now the walls have been torn down, and there is no basic protection. In fact...... Even if there is a city wall, Qin Shaoyou will never play this kind of battle, the reason is very simple, although the original Luoyang city wall is very large, but because of the development of Luoyang, the population is now close to one million, and the people living in the city are only two hundred or seventy eighty thousand. A large number of workshops and people live outside the city, if Luoyang also plays the trick of closing the city gate and holding on, this means that seventy percent of the people outside the city have been completely abandoned by Qin Shaoyou, and the tens of thousands of large and small workshops built over the years have also been destroyed. Luoyang, a giant city, can't afford such consumption at all. The only way is to keep the enemy out of a hundred miles, otherwise...... Even if he held the city and defeated the official army, for Qin Shaoyou, the loss was particularly heavy.

In the face of the provocation of the coalition forces of the Webster princes. Qin Shaoyou could not divide his troops, so he could only have most of his troops and horses on the front line of Hangu Pass, and the officers and troops who were ready to give the pass a head-on attack, but if he did not send troops to help the south, the coalition army would become more and more rampant. In a few short days, their strength had increased from 100,000 to 130,000.

It seems that some people have seen through the reason for Qin Shaoyou's lack of troops, knowing that they can't fight on both sides, and also knowing that the Wei family is doing this, if the war continues to drag on, on the one hand, the army will press the border, making Qin Shaoyou's main force unable to move, on the other hand, it will be countless units of soldiers and horses of the coalition army entering the territory, burning, killing and looting, if this continues, Qin Shaoyou will only be dragged to death, so ...... Many people's attitudes have also changed somewhat, at least the neighboring princes have become greedy.

Everyone is not stupid, now Qin Shaoyou is at a disadvantage, once he has a decline, His Royal Highness the King of Wei is a rich and rival country, doesn't it just give everyone a chance to pick up cheap, these princes, but few of them are moral, they are all realistic people.

Fang Jing and Wang Fangyi actually understood the current situation, so Fang Jing said: "Your Highness, it really can't be done, so I have to order the Shence army to go south directly, and the rest of the men and horses will stay on the front line of Hangu Pass, and I am willing to lead the Shence army to break the enemy of the Wei family's coalition army, and I want to see, how long will they be rampant?" ”

Qin Shaoyou glanced at Wang Fangyi, but Wang Fangyi frowned: "Once the Shence Army attacks, even if the combat strength of the Shence Army is not low, and the hundreds of thousands of Wei family troops are not opponents, but don't forget, they may not be able to fight a decisive battle with the Shence Army, if they are strong and clear, and do not fight a decisive battle with the Shence Army, how will the Shence Army respond?" ”

This is the truth, although the Shence Army is strong, but it is precisely because the combat power is so strong that it is famous, and Wei Chenliang is not a fool, will he still be able to fight a decisive battle with the Shence Army in the wilderness. If more than 100,000 people were to clear the wall and defend it, although the Shence Army had sharp weapons such as artillery, it might not be able to achieve a quick victory. And the remaining 100,000 and 5 military camps, although the training has already taken shape, but the vast majority, after all, is still a new soldier, once the Shence army is dragged in Shenwei Town, the imperial court soldiers and horses in Hangu Pass will be several times larger than the five military camps, when the time comes, the outcome is unpredictable, Qin Shaoyou can't afford to take this risk.

Fang Jing couldn't help muttering: "Even so, what are you afraid of, don't you think it was the same when dealing with Wei Hongmin?" ”

Qin Shaoyou smiled: "That's different, Wei Hongmin is because he underestimated the enemy, and he hasn't really seen the power of the Shence army, so he dares to fight a decisive battle with the Shence army in the wilderness, and when the decisive battle is defeated, and then retreat into the city in a hurry, the military spirit has already been lost, at that time, the Shence army can fight a battle." But now the Wei family will never be able to underestimate the enemy anymore, so it is almost impossible to seek a decisive battle. And the Shence army poured out, although the five military camps were also full of soldiers, but they were not necessarily fighting against the imperial forbidden army several times their own, but they were not ten percent sure, and any negligence would ruin Luoyang, so ...... You can't take that risk, and it seems that the plan now can only ......"

Qin Shaoyou turned his eyes, smiled, and said, "Storm Hangu Pass, don't pay attention to Wei Chenliang anymore, everything is ...... They are all based on breaking the Hangu Pass, as long as the Hangu Pass is taken, the next ...... is to send Chang'an, at that time, no matter how much Wei Chenliang harasses him, it will be useless. ”

Hearing this, Fang Jing had no choice but to say: "Hangu Pass is different from other places, the pass there is too thick, and the artillery at the moment is only afraid that it will not collapse the city wall." ”

"Then keep bombing, with gunpowder, with artillery, with all possible means. All in all, go all out and don't give them any chance to relax. ”

Fang Jing sighed in his heart, but he felt that this method was not good, Hangu Pass was built in the middle of the mountains, precisely because the terrain there was dangerous. This is why the checkpoint was set up there, facing the pass of Luoyang, it was not a wilderness, which meant that the large army could not be deployed at all, and the military horses besieging the city could not exert all their strength, which is why the Wei family regarded this place as the top priority to guard Chang'an. Although it is not enough to be a husband and wife, at least it ...... With this Xiongguan, if the defenders do not make fatal mistakes, there is no year and a half of hard work, even if there are millions of male soldiers, don't think about having any hope of breaking through.

Wang Fangyi's eyes flickered when he saw Qin Shao lobbying here, as if he had other intentions. He was calmer than Fang Jing, after all, Fang Jing used to be in the Flying Cavalry Army. After that, he trained the Shence Army, and the brave is brave, but the Shence Army is like a sharp sword, sharp enough, but not stable enough. And Wang Fangyi has always been in charge of the east and west. He knew that Qin Shaoyou had other plans, so he hurriedly said: "Since Your Highness has a life, the five military camps are willing to do their best to break through." ”

Qin Shaoyou nodded. smiled at him: "It's okay, let the five military battalions go to practice first, the soldiers are all fought, no blood, no blood is shed, no crawl out of the sea of corpses and blood, why become an elite soldier in a hundred battles, let the Shence army suppress the formation, and the five military battalions will attack." ”

After the discussion, Qin Shaoyou's mood seemed to be better, he sat down slowly, let the two of them drink tea, and he suddenly said: "Governor Fangdu, Governor Wangdu, have you ever heard of some rumors outside?" ”

Fang Jing and Wang Fangyi couldn't help but glance at each other.

There are a lot of rumors today, and the streets are full of all kinds of rumors. As for which rumor Qin Shaoyou was talking about, they guessed a little clue, but they were hesitating whether to take the initiative to break it.

However, Wang Fangyi smiled: "Your Highness, the gossip outside has nothing to do with the lowly one, the lowly has served His Highness, and he only admits this dead reason in his heart, and the other things, the lowly has no heart to take care of it, and it has nothing to do with the lowly." ”

Fang Jing also came to his senses, presumably what His Highness wanted to say was that it was rumored that Qin Shaoyou had the intention of plotting Jiuding, and he wanted to be the Son of Heaven, of course, this kind of rumor has been there for a long time, but recently, because of Qin Shaoyou's crusade against Wei, this has become rampant, where does Fang Jing dare to slacken: "What Wang Dudu said is right, we are rough people, and I don't understand other truths, I only know what His Highness says, what we do." ”

Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but smile bitterly, these two guys, most of them thought they were testing their loyalty, but in fact, they were ...... I just wanted to have a casual chat with them.

As for the rumors such as this outside, they must have been released by the imperial court, Qin Shaoyou used this method to deal with the Wei family at the beginning, and he didn't expect the Wei family to treat them in the same way.

But...... Qin Shaoyou was not worried about this.

Chang'an and Luoyang are different, just like the Wei family, the Wei family was originally dependent on the imperial power, to put it bluntly, they are leeches, they rely on sucking the blood of the Li family to survive, once there are rumors outside, they have the intention of plotting for a big position, then opposition and suspicion will appear, because those people, how can they be willing to surrender to the Wei family?

But what about Luoyang, here, it has become its own system, the vast majority of the people here have benefited from Qin Shaoyou's new policy to survive, the people who have gained benefits here, or rentiers, vested interests, all in all, these people in power have relied on Qin Shaoyou's system to start, they are independent of the existence of those wealthy families and gate valves in Chang'an, they and Qin Shaoyou are really prosperous and lossy, even if there are such rumors, maybe, there are still people who are happy and not necessarily.

This is the difference between Qin Shaoyou and Wei's, Chang'an, leaving Wei's, the interests of the wealthy family and the gate lords and civil and military officials, naturally someone will protect them, and those who don't have the surname Wei have the surname Zhang and the surname Wang, and the Wei family can't be replaced; And in Luoyang, if you leave Qin Shaoyou, you may have to change the sky, and those who are at ease now may be eaten alive by life.

This is the source of Qin Shaoyou's self-confidence, anyone who enters Qin Shaoyou's system will naturally become a member of this system and play their role well, and once they become this role, then their life and death, honor and disgrace are closely related to Qin Shaoyou. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Hangu Guanli is now a rumor.

Countless military horses have been pulled over, and Wei Xuanzhen, the servant who stayed here, was also worried for a while after hearing that Qin Shaoyou openly rebelled, he came here to supervise the army, but this overseer didn't know anything about military affairs, but that son-in-law Zhang Jin knew a little more, so he had to ask Zhang Jin about everything.

Zhang Jin is quite optimistic about the current situation, and explained the current general situation to Wei Xuanzhen, Wei Xuanzhen breathed a sigh of relief, it turns out that the current Qin Shaoyou is already difficult to take care of each other, which is easy to do, this is also difficult for the Wei family to arrange and operate for so many years, in order to prevent Qin Shaoyou, on the one hand, a large number of elite soldiers were stationed in Hangu Pass, and the fortifications and protection of Hangu Pass were strengthened. That Qin Shaoyou claims to have 300,000 elite soldiers, but in fact, it is only in the early 200,000s, coupled with the scattered troops, in addition to barely confronting the imperial army in Hangu Pass, it is difficult to draw any soldiers and horses, Wei Chenliang is said to be very arrogant and domineering now, and repeatedly let a small group of military horses harass Qin Shaoyou, slowly consuming Qin Shaoyou's strength, which ...... It's a good idea.

Seemingly...... Time is on the Wei family's side, so ...... Now all you need to do is keep Hangu Pass, and things will be easy.

Thinking of this, Wei Xuanzhen's spirit was shocked, he saw that Qin Shaoyou was not in a hurry to attack, so he confirmed his guess even more, so his life returned to the way it was before, and he was still at ease.
