Chen Kefu carefully watched the sand table, the south bank of the Yellow River is Henan, the west of the north bank is Hedong, the middle is blocked by Taihang Mountain, and the east is Hebei. At present, they are in Mengjin City, Heyang County, to the west of the north bank, and on the opposite bank is Mangdang Mountain to the north of Luoyang. Mangdang Mountain rises and falls in the north of Luoyang and borders the Yellow River in the south. During the Sui period, the Huiluo granary was established near the nearby mountain, and the Heyang granary was established on the north bank of the Yellow River at the foot of the mountain.

Mangdang Mountain was condescending, and after Li Mi took back to Luocang, he established Kim Yong City accordingly. Kim Yong Cheng was like a solid nail, stuck between Heyang on the north bank and Luoyang on the south bank, cutting Wang Shichong's Jianghuai army in Hedong and Luoyang City's soldiers and horses.

Not far from the east of the Yellow River, there is the mouth of the Yellow River of the Luoshui River, which runs through Luoyang City. Luoshui enters the estuary of the river is the largest granary of the Sui Dynasty, and the Luokou warehouse with 24 million stones of grain stored at the peak. Behind Luokou is the last gateway to the east of Luoyang, Baihua Valley. In front of him, it entered Xingyang, which is the strongest pass in the east of Luoyang, and the Bishui Tiger Pass. Further east of Hugao Pass is an important pass that controls the Yellow River and the canal, Jindi Pass.

If you want to take Luoyang, you must first take Xingyang, and if you want to take Xingyang, you must first take Jindi! This is the only way for soldiers to attack Luoyang from the east.

Li Mi's current base camp is in the city of Kim Yong Kim, on Mangdang Mountain, north of Luoyang, and the main force is arranged along the south bank of the Yellow River in Kim Yong Yong, Baihua Valley, Huiluocang, Tiger Prison, and Jindi. If Chen Kefu's sailors wanted to return safely to Jijun in Hebei, they had to pass through Li Mi's heavily fortified area.

They came suddenly. At that time, Li Mi had just taken Luokou and returned to Luo, and the soldiers and horses were all near Luoyang. Even if you have the heart to block it, you can't do anything about it. But now it's different, Chen Kefu's sailor fleet has been stationed in Mengjin for a long time, and the world knows it.

Li Mi's base camp Kim Yong Cheng and the Mengjin ferry where Chen Kefu was stationed are just across the river. For more than a month. Li Mi was afraid that Wang Shichong and Chen Kefu would directly join forces to attack Kim Yong's lair, so he mobilized heavy troops to deploy on the south bank. However, Mangdang Mountain occupies the natural terrain, Wang Shichong and Chen Kefu are not fools, and no one will go straight to Li Mi's lair.

However, now that Wang Shichong is poisoned, it is a little difficult for the Jianghuai Army to coordinate with Duan Da, Yuan Wendu and others who stayed in the eastern capital. Momentary confusion. At this time, Chen Kefu was about to return to Hebei, but Li Mi, who had already freed his hands, could let him go south so easily. Although he knew that the Hebei fleet was strong and strong, and the warships were tall, Li Mi was known as the one with the most soldiers and horses in the world.

The last thing he lacks is manpower, and he can easily mobilize 10.2 million horses to block Chen Pojun. With more than 100,000 or 200,000 people against 50,000 sailors, Li Mi had that confidence. Even if you can't kill Chen Pojun, even if you put all 200,000 people into it, as long as you can severely damage this water division, and even kill a few important generals, it is quite worthwhile.

So as early as when he decided to join forces with Wei Dao'er, Li Yuan, etc., he not only took out the most poisonous poison for Dou Hongxian, but also arranged a more ruthless move. With 100,000 soldiers and horses, they were stationed in Tiger Prison and Jindi, and then sent people to block the rivers in the two places. If Chen Pojun is poisoned, then the returning fleet will be more sure to eat it. If Chen Kefu had not been poisoned. and he shall keep him here with his men and horses.

Chen Kefu looked at the sand table, but quietly paid attention to Fang Xuanzao with his spare eyes.

Fang Xuanzao, who had just been frightened, was still pale, and stood on the side without saying a word. However, Chen Kefu noticed that although Fang Xuanzao lowered his head and didn't say a word, in fact, he peeked here from time to time. A pair of ears listened carefully to their deliberations.

Chen Kefu smiled slightly in his heart, he didn't forget this guy just now, but deliberately pretended to forget that he left him here. The plan he set in his heart, Guan Jian still had to rely on this old man Fang to complete it. Seeing that he had taken the bait, Chen Kefu couldn't help but smile in his heart. …,

Guo Xiaoke repeatedly looked at Li Mi's deployment written by Fang Xuanzao. patted his thigh and said, "Your Highness, I have an idea, since Li Mi is waiting in the Tiger Prison and Jindi area, why don't you do the opposite." ”

"What's the anti-law? We are sailors, and we can't let the soldiers carry the boat to divert the route, they are now waiting for the net on the Yellow River, can we still bypass it? Luo Shixin said suspiciously.

Guo Xiaoke held the pieces of paper in his hand and shook it gently, "If we don't get this information, of course it's another story, but now." He raised the information in his hand, "Of course, everything is fine." ”

"Say it quickly."

"It's just" Guo Xiaoke said to his lips, closed his mouth again, and turned his head to look at Fang Xuanzao, who was shrinking there.

Lu Shishen glanced at Fang Xuanzao in disgust, and said loudly, "You go out." ”

The two guards walked into the cabin, and Fang Xuanzao looked at Chen Kefu in horror.

Chen Kefu waved his hand, "There is no need to be like this, Lord Fang has now sincerely attached himself to the imperial court, and he is already a member of my imperial court." Besides, Master Fang told us all the important information, so why bother to guard against him. If Master Chen really has other thoughts, then we only need to send these papers to Master Li, and I think Li Mi will hate this leaker more than anyone else. ”

"King Chen, the little one will never dare to have two hearts again, please ask King Chen Mingjian. If the little one really has that different heart, let the sky thunder five thunders, ten thousand arrows pierce the heart, and it will not be a good death. Fang Xuanzao hurriedly swore.

"Okay, Master Fang is a smart person, and those who know the times are handsome. This king believes that how to choose, Master Fang should be brighter in his heart and know better than others. I won't say anything more about these words, and everyone will continue to discuss how to deal with Li Mi's interception. As for Master Fang, let's stay here for a closer look, in case there is anything missing, please provide more references. Chen Kefu said casually, as if he didn't put Fang Xuanzao in his eyes at all.

Fang Xuanzao hurriedly lowered his head and said yes, but under the eyes of the low hammer, there was an invisible resentful look.

With Chen Kefu's consent, Guo Xiaoke took the baton and walked to the sand table and drew a circle in front of the Tiger Prison.

"Li Mi doesn't know now, we already know his combat intentions. Therefore, he will still set up an ambush under the Tiger Prison as originally planned, and lay a second line of defense at Jindi Pass to prevent any fish from slipping through the net. Therefore, his main force must be in the Tiger Prison with the main and the Jindi as the second. Li Mi's operation was an ambush, so he did not dare to mobilize his troops and horses in Henan, Shannan and other places with great fanfare. Therefore, it must only be in Kim Yong City, outside Luoyang City, Baihua Valley, and even Luokoucang in Gongxian County, where Luoyang enters the mouth of the Yellow River. These were originally extremely important places to draw troops and horses. ”

Speaking of this, Guo Xiaoke smiled, his eyes full of mockery, "Although Li Mi is known as the one who has the most soldiers and horses today, most of his subordinates are rabble. Really tough. Most of them are old troops based on Wagangzhai, which is also the important point I mentioned above. When Li Mi arrived, he would draw troops and horses from various cities, and even if he drew 100,000 horses, the strength of each city would be greatly reduced. ”

"Didn't Li Mi send people to set up ambushes in the Tiger Prison and Jindi, then we will turn the bow of the boat directly at the mouth of the Luoshui River into the Yellow River and go straight into Luoshui. At that time, our army of 50,000 will break into Luoshui. Kill Li Mi by surprise. We will attack the Valley of Hundred Flowers along Luoshui, and as long as we take the Valley of Hundred Flowers, it will be equivalent to cutting off Li Mi's soldiers and horses besieging Luoyang and Jin Yong City on Mangdang Mountain to the west. Most of the soldiers and horses in the east of Luokou, Hujiao, Jindi, and even Xingyang and Dongjun will be cut off in the east of Luoyang. ”

Zhang Zhongjian held a few small flags and showed his offensive line on the sand table according to what Guo Xiaoke said. Lu Shishen looked at the lonely Jin Yong Cheng on Mangdang Mountain and grinned, "The soldiers and horses besieging Luoyang and Kim Yong Cheng were transferred by Li Miyi, and the number was greatly reduced. If we surround them in Luoyang again. At that time, we will fight with Yang Tong's more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Luoyang City, and we can fight Li Mi with a counterattack. Kim Yong Shing is located in the north of Luoyang, and if it is rumored that Wang Xuan, the son of Wang Shichong, should cross the river from Mengjin to attack, it will be difficult for Kim Yong Cheng to defend under the four breads. If that kid is in Kim Yong City by then, let's just catch him in one go, and see how he looks then. ”…,

Qin Qiong in the back reminded with some concern. "Your Highness, we only have 50,000 horses, and if we abandon our ships and land, we will not be able to carry large equipment and logistics food and grass. Even we don't even have many horses. Although there are 50,000 people, Yang Tong in Luoyang City has 100,000 people, and Wang Xuanying in Heyang also has more than 100,000 people. Even if Li Mi's soldiers and horses were transferred to the Tiger Prison, the soldiers and horses surrounding Luoyang and Kim Yong's soldiers and horses would add up to at least 300,000 people. If, when the time comes, they see that I am weak, and they want to swallow our army first, won't King Chen and I be in danger? ”

Chen Kefu waved his hand indifferently, "Uncle Bao is too worried, this plan is better than surprise." Ren Li is scheming, how could he have thought that this king would dare to counterattack his lair with 50,000 people? His troops and horses were all transferred to the Tiger Prison and other places to set up ambushes, it was when the west was empty, and when we waited for the killing to pass, how could he prevent it? What's more, the current enemy of Dongdu and Wang Xuanying is Li Mi, we go to relieve the siege of Dongdu, it is too late for them to thank them, how can they have the heart of revenge. This plan is very much in line with my heart, Li Mi is the hero of the world, and now Wang Shichong is dead, and Henan has no rival. If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of Li Mi in one fell swoop, it will be difficult to do so in the future. ”

Qin Shubao wanted to persuade him again, but Zhang Zhongjian over there had already quietly stepped on him. Chen Kefu's ordinary actions today, he has already understood a little. It must be related to Fang Xuanzao over there, and he has been cooperating with acting.

Chen Shubao has always been loyal, but he is not stupid. Zhang Zhongjian stepped on him, and he instantly understood. He bowed down and retreated.

At that moment, Chen Kefu decided to use Guo Xiaoke's plan on the spot, and he was not going to return to Hebei directly. Instead, he turned into Luokou when Luoshui entered the estuary, attacked the eastern capital, and killed Li Mi by surprise.

The generals gathered around this new combat goal, and each made their own suggestions, and did not avoid Fang Xuanzao, so they discussed directly. Moreover, several times on the way, Chen Kefu also asked him to come forward to discuss some of Li Mi's arrangements and generals, and finally simply asked him to discuss this offensive plan with his staff.

The group discussed it for most of the night, and it was not until the third watch that a complete raid battle plan was discussed. Chen Kefu asked Fang Xuanzao, a scribe, to put pen to paper and record the summary of this plan. After the end, Chen Kefu was happy and in a good mood. He also asked people to send wine and food, and drank with the generals, and even Fang Xuanzao also got this treatment. It wasn't until the third watch that Chen Kefu called two guards and asked them to arrange Fang Xuanzao on the comfortable battle ship Lingbo.

Chen Kefu, who was already drunk, had a knotted tongue, his face was flushed, and he was shaking when he walked, but after Fang Xuanzao went down for a long time, they all suddenly regained the clear look on their faces.

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, they couldn't help laughing, at first they were just smiling, but then Lu Shishen couldn't help it at first, while covering his stomach, he slapped the table with his hand and laughed. The Lingbo and the Anlan are far apart, so they don't have to worry about being listened to by Fang Xuanzao.

Zhang Zhongjian touched the beard on his face, and also forced a smile, "In the past, Zhou Lang played Jiang Gan, so that Cao Cao's water cutter Du Cai Mao and Zhang Yun cut off one of their arms. Today, His Highness is the same, scheming to lure Fang Xuanzao. It's just that after acting for a long time just now, it made Fang Xuanzao believe in our so-called surprise strategy. But right now, Fang Xuanzao is still among my water masters, so how can he return to Li Mi? ”

For what happened just now, most of them understood in their hearts, only Luo Shixin, who didn't like to use his brain, was a little foggy, and when he heard it at this time, he also patted his head to understand. "How does Your Highness know that this room of Xuanzao is not really descending?"

Chen Kefu smiled, "Fang Xuanzao's character is too poor. Such a person, even if he really descends, this king does not want to use him. It's better to use it as waste. This evening, I first beat and humiliated him in public on the embankment. Later, during the interrogation, I arranged for someone to beat him up again. He was afraid of death, so he kowtowed and begged for mercy. But in fact, this is waiting for the literati, and they have always been arrogant. I humiliated him several times today, and he already resented me in his heart. Besides, he has always been reused by Li Mi under Li Mi's account, and if he is thrown into my court, he will not have this reuse. In such a situation, if there is an opportunity, how can this person stay in our army with peace of mind. Therefore, today's little trick is just to make him a messenger. Li Mi has always been reused by him, and if it is the information he brought back, Li Mi'an has reason not to believe it. ”

When everyone heard this, they also felt justified. Fang Xuanzao was so unbearable before, if he really stayed, I was afraid that no one would look at him anymore. For such a person, no one sympathizes with him, but only laughs at His Highness's clever strategy.

As he was smiling, Chen Lei came in to report, saying that it was the woman who had been ordered by King Chen to be placed on the Zhenhai, and that there was an urgent matter to be passed on to His Royal Highness King Chen.

Hearing that Feng Wan was so late and had urgent things to look for, Chen Kefu thought for a while, but laughed out loud, "It's better to come early, it's better to come by coincidence, this king is also thinking about how to send Fang Xuanzao back, but unexpectedly, there is a ready-made one delivered to the door here." Hurry up and invite Miss Feng in! ”
