Chapter 416: A two-pronged approach

The wind is surging, and the world has changed greatly.

Yang Chun led 50,000 Changce troops, from Yuting, and decided to fight Changxian in a war. Yang An led 50,000 Zhechong troops out of Sanshui Pass, joined forces with Jin Xin, defeated the defenders of Cangqiu, and advanced to the south bank of Weishui.

The Zhou army was prosperous, and the people of Shendu were panicked.

The 100,000 Liang troops from the Central Plains had already assembled in Hojing, temporarily stabilizing the turbulent situation in Yongzhou.

Now in Yongzhou, the number of Liang troops far exceeds that of the Zhou army, but the Zhou army has become a two-sided attack. If Cangqiu is breached, then hundreds of thousands of Zhou troops can go down the Weishui River and reach Haojing directly.

At this point, the Huan clan relatives who had previously suggested attacking Liangzhou and later suggested settling Jin Xin first had closed their mouths one after another, lest they get into trouble. It's just that among the huge Huan clan, there are not no people who are determined to dare to die.

"Your Majesty, the Great Liang River has reached a critical juncture. If Yongzhou is lost, my Liang will have the worry of losing the country. In today's situation, either his Yang family dies, or my Huan family dies, and there is no room for hesitation. ”

In the side hall of Hanzhang, Huan Zhong's face was dark, and he said solemnly.

"What does Uncle Zhong mean?"

"Your Majesty, there are still 100,000 northern troops in the Divine Capital, and Huan Zixiu still has 30,000 heavy armor under their command. The minister was willing to lead the army to Yongzhou in person and fight to the death with his Yang family. ”

Huan Qi sat on the throne, his hands on the table, gently rubbing the table. Hearing Huan Zhong's words, he was noncommittal.

"Uncle Zhong! At this time, the strength of our army in Yongzhou was far superior to that of the Shu army, and the attack was insufficient, but the defense was more than enough. If the 100,000 northern army is exhausted, then the gods are empty. Not long after I succeeded to the throne, people's hearts were still uneasy, so I had to guard against it! ”

"Your Majesty, the battle ahead is not in Cangqiu, but in Yangjueguan. If Yang Xian solves the danger of Yang Jue and collects the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, our army will be in danger. ”

"Your Majesty, General Huan Gong has arrived!"

The chamberlain quietly walked up and whispered beside Huan Qi.

"Biography!"

Huan Qi waved his hand, and Huan Gong hurriedly walked in, extremely eager. He was a general, but when he crossed the threshold, he almost stumbled and fell.

"Uncle Gong, why are you in such a hurry?"

Huan Gong's face was very gloomy, and he saluted Huan Qi, and before he even had time to say some polite words, he went straight in.

Yang Xian went to the Yang Pass alone, relieved the danger of the demon invasion, and forced the Demon Emperor to swear in front of the pass that he would never set foot in the Yang Pass again in this life. Now that the Liangzhou army is loyal to Yang Xian, he is rushing back with the Xiliang Iron Horse. With the speed of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, I am afraid that it will not take six or seven days to be able to rush from Yangjue Pass to Changxian. ”

"So fast!"

Huan Zhong's face changed and blurted out. He knew that he had lost his honor in front of the palace and was guilty, but Huan Qi's expression was quite calm.

"Your Majesty, we can't wait any longer."

Huan Qi waved his hand, facing the two generals who were a little panicked, and said calmly: "Yongzhou is a land of thousands of miles, more than 20 big cities, and more than 100 small cities. I have an army of nearly 300,000 people, defending city by city, and Yang Xian is not so easy to capture. At this time, the battle ahead is unclear, and it is too early to use the military strength of the Divine Capital at this time. ”

"Your Majesty, but that person is Yang Xian!"

Huan Zhong and the others still need to be persuaded, but Huan Qi has made up his mind.

"Under the edict, Cai Tong was named the king of Chu, Hou Tao was named the king of Wu, and Jingyun was the king of Yan, and these three princes must be stabilized at this time. As for Yang Xian, Cangqiu is lost, and our army can still use Haojing as a base to fight against the Shu army. Yang Xian can be regarded as having Wuwei's grain and grass armaments, but how many can there be in the bitter cold land of Liangzhou? But when the Shu army ran out of food and grass, it would naturally retreat. ”

"Your Ministers obey!"

Huan Zhong and Huan Gong glanced at each other and said helplessly. Hojing is one of the largest cities in the world, with thick walls, and most of Yongzhou's grain, grass and armaments are hoarded in it.

Huan Qi wanted to spend national strength with Yang Xian, but the Zhou army had already exhausted the land of Longshu, and the land was favorable and condescending.

Consuming national strength, I'm afraid it's not so easy!

Huan Zhong and Huan Gong retreated, and the side hall became very silent. Fang Yuting walked out from the side and arched his hand.

"Your Majesty!"

"It was I who was too anxious and didn't follow your advice to give Yang Xian a chance to come to such a situation."

Huan Qi sighed, completely losing the composure he had when facing Huan Zhong and Huan Gong just now, and his face was full of worry.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to be like this, it's Chang Yu who is gullible enough to believe Xu He, a capricious villain, that has such a situation."

"A wise man thinks a thousand times, and he will make a mistake. Chang Geng was foolish and calculating, but he didn't expect to be planted on a villain like Xu He, who forgot his righteousness. I don't understand, what price did Yang Xian offer Xu He to make him betray? ”

Huan Qi said this, and there was a bit of hatred in his tone. If Xu He was in front of him, Huan Qi would probably dismantle him on the spot.

"Huan Zhong and Huan Gong wanted to fight Yang Xian to the death, but what they didn't know was that when Huan Zishan's army was defeated, our army could no longer stop Yang Xian. It was a matter of time before Liangzhou was lost, and there was no point in taking the Pavilion or not, I just didn't expect Yang Xian to be able to deal with that Demon Emperor so quickly. Now it seems that all this is in his Yang Zizhan's plan, and he just wants to open up the situation for him through our hands. ”

"Your Majesty, Yang Xian's ambition is obvious. The whole army of Shu was dispatched, and I am afraid that it wants to take Yongzhou in one go. In order to fight against the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, it may be possible to use the Upper Rhino Cavalry. ”

Huan Qi shook his head, "Although Yang Jian has trained ten thousand horses, after all, the time is still short, how can he be the opponent of Xiliang Tieqi?" Let them play, just waste such a cavalry army in vain. At this point, I'm afraid there is only a two-pronged approach. ”

"What does Your Majesty mean?"

"Chang Yu sent a plan, but I hesitated. The Yongzhou front line can be guarded, but if it can't be held, I'm afraid that it can only be dangerous. ”

Huan Qi stretched out his hand, and Fang Yuting walked up to him. Huan Qi whispered in his ear, but Fang Yuting's face changed greatly.

"Your Majesty, this plan is too risky and there are too many variables. If you are not careful, Yongzhou will be lost. What's more, if Chang Yu has a different heart and turns the fake into the true, Yongzhou will really become Yang Xian's. ”

"It's a last resort. What's more, if our army can't stop Yang Xian on the battlefield, then I'm afraid there is only one way. ”

"Your Majesty! This plan is poisonous, if you win, you will be successful, and if you lose, my beam will lose half of the rivers and mountains. The minister has a word, the way of the emperor is upright, there are still 100,000 northern troops in the divine capital, and His Majesty will not lose to Yang Xian if he does his best, why use this strategy? ”

Huan Qi glanced at Fang Yuting, feeling a little unhappy in his heart, but he still pressed it.

"I am the lord of the world, ruling the Central Plains. Yang Xian lost, but he returned to Shudi. If I lose, then the entire beam will be his Yang Xian's. If it were you, would you bet like that? ”
