Qin Huaiyu wanted to ask again, but Xiao Yannian turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile: "Go!" Take a look at the mountain beam. ”

He turned back and shouted to the soldiers: "Wait for me in the woods, I'll be back soon!" ”

He hurried towards the mountain, and Qin Huaiyu also turned over and dismounted, "Captain, wait for me!" ”

Two into one before one after the other to the mountain beam, the Sui and Tang dynasties of the Loess Plateau has not been cut down excessively, everywhere can be seen patches of dense forests, they are going to the mountain beam also has a lush forest, condescending, can see the situation of the golden lock pass more clearly.

Xiao Yannian stared for a moment, then turned back to Qin Huaiyu and smiled, "Did you find anything?" ”

Qin Huaiyu frowned, "It seems that the pass is not big?" ”

"The pass is indeed not big, and it can only accommodate 3,000 at most, but the problem is not here."

Xiao Yannian pointed to a mountain ridge that was curved like a snake close to the Golden Lock Pass: "That hill is only a dozen zhang high, if it is occupied and it throws arrows downward, or it is smashed with a boulder and burned with fire, do you say that this Golden Lock Pass can still be guarded?" ”

Qin Huaiyu looked at it for a while, and he found that there was also a wooden tower on the mountain, so he said, "It seems that there is already a garrison on the top of the mountain." ”

"It's just a watchtower, not a real garrison."

Xiao Yannian was worried that once they went back to report, the Tang army increased the garrison on the mountain, so that his information was wrong, he thought for a while and said: "Leave two brothers here to guard, and we will divide the troops into two routes, go back all the way to report, go all the way over the mountains, and continue to explore the intelligence to the south." ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Yannian patted Qin Huaiyu on the shoulder, "You bring two people back to report, and I will take the brothers to continue to explore the information in the south." ”

Qin Huaiyu bit his lip, "I'll go with Brother Xiao and let the others go back to report the news." ”

Xiao Yannian shook his head, "You always have to do things with Duli, you can't always follow me, go back to report the news, and then ask His Highness for orders to see what tasks His Highness can give you." ”

"I see, I'll go back."

Qin Huaiyu bowed and ran down the mountain, Xiao Yannian watched Qin Huaiyu turn over and get on the horse, and left with a few in, Xiao Yannian always had a trace of complicated emotions in his heart, Qin Huaiyu has a high-ranking father to rely on, and the future is immeasurable, but he can only rely on struggle, without a little support, alas! Men should be self-reliant!

Xiao Yannian lifted his nerves and looked farther south, wondering if he could go deep into the hinterland of Guanzhong......

At this time, the main battalion of 150,000 of the Sui army has moved south from Fushi County, Yan'an County to Luojiao County, Shangxian County, and the army is deployed in a field ten miles south of Luojiao County, located on the west bank of Luoshui, where the terrain is open, and the Sui army guard tower can be seen twenty miles away, plus the water source is sufficient, it is very suitable for camping.

The Sui army adopted the strategy of step-by-step camping, that is, every time it went south, it was necessary to formally build a camp, and the board wall structure was adopted to build a large camp like a copper wall and an iron wall, and the 150,000 army occupied an area of about 40 miles, and the large camp was so magnificent that it could not be seen at a glance.

Yang Yuanqing rushed to the Guannei Dao camp three years ago, according to his deployment, he will serve as the commander of this decisive battle, fully command the attack on Guanzhong in four directions, and he is also the commander of the main force of the Northern Front Army, Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin are the left and right deputy generals.

At this time, 120,000 stone of grain and 500,000 sheep had been transported in the main camp of the Sui army, and the grain was gradually sufficient, but how to fight Guanzhong still needed Yang Yuanqing's unified deployment.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, there was also a huge sand table two zhang wide and three zhang long, and several people had planted white flags marking the number of Tang troops on the sand table according to the information sent by scouts from all over the country.

Beside the sand table, Yang Yuanqing was discussing the offensive strategy of the Northern Front Battle with more than a dozen generals, and he pointed to Jingshui with a wooden pole: "Judging from the information we have so far, Li Shimin's main force is south of the shallow water plain in Beidi County and north of Xinping County, there are about 50,000 people, which is the last Jing Rui of the Tang Army, and there are 20,000 cavalry in these 50,000 troops, so to deal with this army, we must also use Jing Rui, and I will lead 80,000 Jing Rui to personally fight against Li Shimin." ”

Qin Qiong next to him frowned and said: "Your Highness, we have an army of 150,000, why did Your Highness only use 80,000 troops to fight against Li Shi**, is it a bit careless." ”

Yang Yuanqing smiled slightly, "The art of war is cloudy, the real is virtual, the virtual is real, I led 80,000 troops to attack the main force of the Tang Army in the name of the commander, it seems to be the main battlefield, but in fact, the real main battlefield should be in the east." ”

Yang Yuanqing pointed to the area of Tongguan and Pujin Pass with a wooden pole, "The Tang army in this area only has 30,000 troops to defend, which is very weak, and their only reliance is the danger of Tongguan and Pujin Pass, so we have to find a way to break the opponent's advantage, does General Qin understand what I mean?" ”

Qin Qiong thought for a while, and seemed to understand what Yang Yuanqing meant, "Your Highness is saying that we will also send an army to the south along Luoshui, enter Fengyi County, and kill Pujin Pass and Tongguan Pass?" ”

Yang Yuanqing smiled and nodded, "This is exactly what I mean, the reason why I said that the east is the main battlefield is that I am ready to throw 150,000 troops on the eastern front, defeat Li Shentong's 30,000 troops in a lightning battle, and take the lead in breaking through from the eastern front, so that Chang'an is in an emergency, and Li Shimin's northern front will not be able to confront me, and we will have the initiative in the war." ”

"Brilliant plan!"

Luo Shixin high-fived and exclaimed, "Your Highness is your own strength, and the weakness of attacking the other is the weakest point of the Tang army, and breaking through from the weakest point of the enemy army is the wisdom of the decisive battle." ”

"You're slapping your ass."

Yang Yuanqing smiled and knocked Luo Shixin with a wooden pole, and then said to the crowd: "This is actually the evil result of the Tang Army's factional line, Kanto has always been Li Jiancheng's territory, and was later taken over by Li Shentong, but Li Shentong and Li Shimin have deep contradictions because of Li Shenfu's death, Li Shentong has always believed that Li Shimin is unwilling to send troops to aid Huining County, resulting in Li Shenfu's tragic death."

Therefore, when Li Shimin deployed the army this time, although he sent 20,000 troops to the eastern front to help, the 20,000 troops were not his main force, but the troops temporarily recruited when I attacked Chang'an last year, and after several months of training, they could only barely form an army, so that the defense of the eastern front became very weak, and as long as we broke through the eastern front, the overall situation in Guanzhong would be decided. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Yuanqing's gaze turned to Qin Qiong, who understood what he meant and nodded.

"Good! General Qin led 50,000 troops, took the Luoshui Road, entered Fengyi County, and copied Li Shentong's back road. ”

Luo Shixin was a little anxious, "Your Highness, then hand over the 20,000 troops to me!" I'm going to play as a striker and attack Asahara. ”

Yang Yuanqing smiled, "I can use 20,000 troops for myself, but you are going to be the vanguard, and there is the opponent you are most looking forward to in the shallow water plain." ”

Luo Shixin understood what Yang Yuanqing meant, and his eyes suddenly lit up......

When night fell, the lights in the big tent of the Chinese army were bright, Yang Yuanqing stood in front of the sand table and pondered silently, he was the commander of the overall situation, he had to consider the overall battle, in the entire battle situation, the last to launch was the Western Front, the task of the Western Front was to block the way for the Tang Army to flee westward and prevent the Tang Army from escaping to Hehuang, so it didn't matter whether to take the Dasanguan or not.

The same is true on the southern front, the army on the southern front is also to block the Tang army's southern escape to Bashu, and the real offensive force is the 250,000 troops on the eastern and northern fronts.

His promise to Ziwei Pavilion was to end the campaign before the start of the summer harvest, there was still a month and a half before now, in fact, it was not difficult to attack Guanzhong, and it would not take too long, the key was to conquer Chang'an, which would take a long time.

While he was pondering, a personal soldier reported at the door: "Your Highness, Scout Qin Huaiyu will come back to deliver the letter." ”

Yang Yuanqing laughed, "Let him in!" ”

Yang Yuanqing has a little special care for Qin Huaiyu, not because he is Qin Qiong's son, but because of his eldest daughter Yang Bing, she seems to like this young general a little, he once heard Chuchen say that Bing'er embroidered two expedition charms, one is for himself, and the other seems to be given to this Qin Huaiyu.

In fact, Yang Yuanqing values Xiao Yannian more, Bi Jing is entrusted to him by Yuwen Chengdu, he hopes that his daughter will pay attention to Xiao Yannian, but his daughter's heart is not something he can decide, the thirteen-year-old girl is just the age when love is beginning to open, Xiao Yannian seems to be a little older to her, and fifteen-year-old Qin Huaiyu is just right.

After a while, Qin Huaiyu walked into the big tent quickly, knelt down on one knee and reported: "Scout Brigade Marshal Qin Huaiyu has the intelligence of the Tongguan Dao, His Highness." ”

After speaking, he presented a piece of information with both hands, although Yang Yuanqing took a little special care of him, he didn't show it, took the information and read it, and asked, "What about General Xiao?" ”

"Your Highness, General Xiao bypassed the Golden Lock Pass and continued southward, and ordered him to come and report the news."

After speaking, Qin Huaiyu plucked up the courage and said, "Can Your Highness give you another lowly task?" ”

Yang Yuanqing smiled slightly, "Your father is about to go south along the Luoshui Road, so you can go with him!" ”

Qin Huaiyu didn't want to fight his father, but he didn't dare to bargain, so he had to bow helplessly and retreat.

Yang Yuanqing read the information again, and then ordered: "Order Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin to come to see me." ”

After a while, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin walked into the big tent before and after, two into the one salute, Yang Yuanqing picked up the wooden pole, pointed to the golden lock pass of Tongguan Road: "I will give you 10,000 troops, you pretend to be 50,000 troops, and go all out to attack the golden lock pass, remember, after the pass is laid, the garrison will not advance, but it must be fanfare." ”

Cheng Biting Jin Yi grinned and said, "Does Your Highness want me to bluff and pretend to be the main force?" ”

Yang Yuanqing smiled and nodded, "That's exactly what it means!" ”

He then said to Qin Qiong: "General Qin, you lead 50,000 troops to set off tonight overnight, you have to be fast, you have to be hidden, after entering the pass, first of all, don't care about Pujin Pass, first occupy Guangtong Warehouse, and prevent the Tang army from transferring grain into Chang'an." ”

Qin Qiong nodded, "I understand, let's set off overnight tonight!" ”……

In the evening, Qin Qiong led an army of 50,000 to the southeast along the Luoshui River Valley, and at noon on the second day, the main force of the Sui army pulled out the camp and raised troops, and the troops were divided into two routes, one route was led by Cheng Yanjin 10,000 troops, with great fanfare and bluff, pretending to be an army of 50,000, and marching towards the golden lock pass on the Tongguan Road.

Yang Yuanqing and Luo Shixin led 80,000 Sui troops to slowly drive towards the shallow water plain, and Jia Runfu led 10,000 troops and 100,000 people to be responsible for logistics and grain transportation.
