Han Mo had been listening carefully to what the generals had said, and when Han Xuanling finished speaking, he finally asked, "Does Governor Han think that the Shannan Army will be the biggest enemy of our army this time?" ”

At this time, discussing military affairs, the two are naturally not commensurate with the relationship between uncle and nephew, and only commensurate with their official positions.

Han Xuanling said: "If you fight outside the Wei country, for example, if the Wei army attacks Qingguo, then the cavalry is naturally stronger." Qingguo has a large plain area, which is suitable for cavalry combat...... However, fighting on Wei soil, there were many areas that were not suitable for cavalry attacks. He pointed to the territory of Wei and said solemnly: "Half of the territory of Wei belongs to mountains and hills......!" He stepped forward and pointed to a place on the map with his finger: "Everyone, this is the Evil Yang Ridge of the Wei State, right?" ”

Qin Luo immediately said, "Governor Han, that is the Evil Yang Ridge. If our army marches forward from the south of Sanyang Ridge, then this Evil Yang Ridge is the biggest obstacle for our army to advance into the Wei army's Kyoto City. Although the Evil Yang Ridge is not as long and majestic as the Longshan Mountain Range of Qingguo, its land is more precipitous than the Longshan Mountain......! ”

Han Xuanling's expression was solemn, and he nodded: "Yes, Evil Yang Ridge is a roadblock in front of our army, and it is also the only way to enter Kyoto City. Although the Wei people retreated with the whole army, they must leave the army to guard in the Evil Yang Ridge, and the front and rear of the Evil Yang Ridge are large and small mountains, rugged and difficult to travel, and the Wei people have occupied a ...... advantageous advantage! At this point, he frowned and did not continue.

Tie Kui said to Han Mo: "General, the last general has already sent someone to inquire about the news. After the coalition army broke the Wei army and took the Tingshui Pass, the people in Kyoto City were already panicking. The emperor of Wei even issued a decree ordering troops from all over the country to gather in Wei County and fortify the periphery of Kyoto City, which was to defend Kyoto City to the death. The Wei army, which had more than 20,000 troops on the west bank of the Wumu River, was now fighting a bloody battle with the Northwest Army of Qingguo on the Wumu River. It's just that Xue Poye didn't completely evacuate his subordinates, he left troops to garrison in various dangerous areas along the way in Suiding County, and more than 4,000 people were also left in this evil yang ridge to garrison, pinching the dangerous areas. ”

Kong Fei immediately laughed and said, "Four thousand? That's not enough for us to stuff between our teeth. ”

Qin Luo immediately said: "General Kong, the terrain of the Evil Yang Ridge is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, one man is the pass, and ten thousand people are difficult to open." Although our army has a large number of troops, if we want to take the Evil Yang Ridge, we must pay a great price. ”

"The most important thing is the Shannan Army!" Han Xuanling was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Once the Shannan Army arrives for reinforcements before we take the Evil Yang Ridge, this battle will be even more difficult to fight. ”

Han Mo's expression also began to become grim.

The battle of the Nanyang Plain, of course, was a great defeat of the Wei army, and it took advantage of the situation to recover Nanyang Pass and take Tingshui Pass, but the difficulty of entering the Wei mainland to fight may not be easier than the previous two wars.

"What the Shannan Army is best at is mountain battles, dealing with the people of the Wind Country, they have been defeated repeatedly, which does not mean that they are really an incompetent army." Han Xuanling said solemnly: "Although my Yan army is brave and good at fighting, but on the matter, it is not suitable for mountain battles, if it is really against the southern army of Shangshan, whether it can really swallow them easily, it is also unknown." ”

Wan Qiqing looked at the map and stroked his beard and said, "What Governor Han said is extremely true. It's just that our army, both in terms of soldiers and logistical supplies, is superior to them in the current situation. If it is a fierce attack, even if the Shannan Army arrives, we will not be afraid of it! ”

"But we're not just going to take Evil Sun Ridge!" Tie Kui frowned and said, "If there is a lot of loss in the Evil Yang Ridge, then the strength of the army to enter Kyoto will definitely be greatly damaged. After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "The most important thing is that our enemy may not only be the Wei people......!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone understood in their hearts that in addition to Wei, Yan also had a potential strong enemy, and that was Qingguo, which was still an ally.

As long as the Wei State of Kyoto is captured, the next situation is self-evident, and the two countries of Yanqing will unexpectedly draw their swords against each other, and the war with the Wei people will lose one more point, which is equivalent to the battle with the Qing people One less strength.

"In other words, we must quickly take down the Evil Sun Ridge with the least amount of loss!" Han Mo said in a deep voice, looked at Tie Kui, and asked, "Chief Tie Bing, what is the movement of the Shannan Army now?" ”

"The last general has already sent people to keep an eye on the movement of the Shannan Army, but there has been no movement over there." Tie Kui said: "At this point, the last general feels a little strange. As Governor Han said, although everyone in the world said that Sima Haoyue was an incompetent general, in fact, this person was the most talented general in Wei besides Sima Qingtian. It is impossible for him not to be clear about the current situation, even ordinary people can think of transferring troops to choke Evil Yang Ling, with his talent, it is impossible not to think of this. It's just a few military reports from over there, and the Shannan Army has not moved......! ”

The generals all looked at each other, and they only felt that there was indeed something strange in the middle.

"How long will it take to get from the Shannan County station to the Evil Yang Ridge?" Han Mo touched his chin and asked.

"Shannan County is among the five counties of Wei State, it is the first county of mountains and forests, the roads are rugged, there are many lofty mountains and mountains, and the march is also very difficult, even if it is day and night, there is no ten days, it is impossible to reach." Tiekui Road.

"Ten days?" Han Mo slowly walked to the map, and Tie Kui had already pointed to Wei Jing and said, "General, this is the garrison of the Shannan Army!" ”

Han Mo nodded, stared at it for a long time, suddenly turned his head, and asked in a deep voice: "Everyone, you say, is it possible that this Sima Haoyue is secretly crossing Chen Cang?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and Han Xuanling immediately understood, and said: "The general is saying that the Shannan Army is not moving, and it is a maze of formations, in fact, ...... Have you already secretly transferred troops to reinforce Evil Yang Ridge? ”

Han Mo nodded and said, "Ben Jiang has never dealt with Sima Haoyue, but listening to your evaluation of him, he can bear the charges, let the world scold him, endure humiliation, and settle in the southern border of the mountain, such a character, it is really not simple." It was impossible for him not to understand that even if he held the border of Wei Feng and made the people of the Feng Kingdom dare not act rashly, but if the city of Kyoto fell, then what was the use of the Shannan Army even if he held the frontier? It is impossible for him not to understand the truth that the beast does not have hair. Therefore, we would have thought that it was impossible for him to remain still, and what we saw was perhaps just an illusion laid by him! ”

"What the general said, it is very likely." Tie Kui nodded and said: "Sima Haoyue secretly transferred troops and set up an ambush near the Evil Yang Ridge, so that our army only thought that there were only a few thousand defenders in the Evil Yang Ridge, and they were contemptible. When the big battle is in full swing, he will come out from the side, and our army is afraid that it will really be chaotic. ”

Han Xuanling looked at Han Mo, his eyes showed a slight smile, nodded slightly, and said, "It's very possible, we have to guard against it!" ”

"Emperor Wei sent an order for all Wei troops to assemble on the periphery of Kyoto City, is it possible for Sima Haoyue to go directly to Kyoto City to assemble regardless of the Evil Yang Ridge?" Kong Fei asked.

Han Xuanling shook his head and said, "If it were an ordinary general, he might be able to act on orders, but Sima Haoyue knew the stakes, and if it was possible, he would definitely set up heavy troops in the Evil Yang Ridge." ”

"If Sima Haoyue really secretly transferred troops, then has the Shannan Army arrived in Evil Yang Ridge now?"

"It's never easy to set up suspicions." Tie Kui said: "Before knowing for sure that our army is really going to attack the Wei country, Sima Haoyue still doesn't dare to easily transfer troops from the frontier. The last general thought that even if the troops were secretly transferred, the Shannan Army should be on its way at least for now! ”

Han Mo looked at the map and asked, "Do any of you know the terrain of Shannan County?" ”

Although the map roughly outlines the topography of the territory of Wei, what is indicated on it is mainly the location of the major city checkpoints, and the specific path is not very detailed.

Seeing that no one agreed, Han Mo thought about it, and asked people to pass on Zhu Xiaoyan.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as you said, if the Shannan Army really arrives, it will definitely pose a huge threat to our army, and if we want our army to get rid of this threat and take the Evil Yang Ridge as soon as possible, we must turn around and intercept the reinforcements of the Shannan Army." Han Mo said with a solemn expression: "Sima Haoyue has set up a secret march in the suspicious formation, why can't we return the favor with the other way and also have a secret march?" ”

The generals present were all understanding, as soon as Han Mo's words came out, everyone faintly guessed what Han Mo meant, Han Xuanling frowned, and asked: "Does the general want to send troops into Shannan County to intercept Sima Haoyue in Shannan County?" ”

Han Mo nodded and said, "That's exactly what it means." ”

Tie Kui immediately said solemnly: "General, this is a big dangerous move. Looking at Han Mo and said, "If you want to intercept Sima Haoyue, you must know where they are now, but since Sima Haoyue is secretly marching, it is not easy to find them easily." The Shannan army was steep in the mountains and the roads were rugged and difficult to navigate, so we sent troops to intercept them, and if we could not find their main force, we would have to wander among the mountains of Shannan County. And how many people should be sent to intercept the troops? There are too many people and horses, once they are discovered, they will definitely startle the snakes, Sima Haoyue is likely to choose another road to escape, they are a hundred times more familiar with the terrain of Shannan County than us, then the plan to intercept the Shannan army will inevitably fail. If there are too few people, it is possible to march secretly, but ...... If you really want to meet the Shannan army, how can you be their opponent? Moreover, after entering Shannan County, in order to avoid leaking the traces of the march, the logistical baggage will inevitably not be able to be supplied, and the army I will go to intercept will be even more in danger at that time. ”

When the generals heard this, they all nodded slightly.

Han Xuanling said with a serious expression: "What Chief Tie said is not unreasonable, it is really difficult to enter Shannan County or intercept the Shannan Army without showing his traces!" ”

Han Mo Zhengse said: "But if we can't stop the rescue of Shannan County, and wait for their reinforcements to Evil Yang Ridge, our army will definitely suffer heavy losses if they want to take Evil Yang Ridge." He thought for a while and said: "To go to Shannan County, you don't need too many people, but you have to be brave, the purpose is to find Sima Haoyue's traces at all costs, and intercept them outside the Evil Yang Ridge before our army takes the Evil Yang Ridge, as long as our army takes the Evil Yang Ridge, Sima Haoyue's men and horses will be lawless!" ”

At this moment, Zhu Xiaoyan's voice came from outside the tent: "The last general is ordered to come!" ”

Han Mo immediately said, "Come in!" ”

Zhu Xiaoyan had already changed his wind riding armor, and he was still wearing an iron mask.

When Han Mo saw Zhu Xiaoyan coming in, he beckoned Zhu Xiaoyan to step forward, pointed to Shannan County on the map and asked, "Are you familiar with the terrain here?" ”
