Chapter 1050: The Battle in the Shadows (Part I)

It was late in the night, the banquet was over, and everyone dispersed and returned to their lodgings.

They were all settled in many vacant houses near the Taishou Mansion in Langzhou, saying that they could take care of each other, and a few of them, because they had a friendship, simply lived together.

Sun Fei and the other three of them, who made Tang Feng quite concerned, stayed together, and lived in a mansion on the left side of the Taishou Mansion, it seemed that the three of them should be quite valued by Zhang Yanlang, and their natural status and treatment were higher than those of other Jianghu people.

At this time, the three of them entered the house, and did not immediately go back to their rooms to rest, but entered the central hall, and after closing the door to confirm that there was no seventh ear, they heard Guan Ning lower his voice with some anxiety: "Your Majesty, it is enough adventure for you to pretend to be a Jianghu guest with us in Langzhou, why did you say something like that just now, wouldn't it be ......?"

Sun Fei in front of him just smiled when he heard this, and then looked at Yan Zhen, who also had a worried face: "Yifei, you think so too?" ”

"There's really something wrong, once those people are related to Long's spies, the consequences are really hard to say." Yan Zhen also nodded and expressed his concerns.

Sun Fei laughed at this moment, his eyes flickering: "This is exactly what I want to see." Because otherwise, how can it be possible to lure out the spies hidden in the shadows? ”

That's right, this Sun Fei is the current Emperor Sun Ning of Dayue, and the two Guan Yan who are in the same room with him are Guan Zhenduo and Yan Yifei, who have changed their names. In order to hide people's eyes, the three of them each took each other's names, and after changing them, they had Sun Fei, Guan Ning and Yan Zhen.

And Sun Ning is so involved in danger and appears here as the emperor, naturally he also has his own plans and considerations. To put it simply, he was vaguely aware a few months ago that the enemy's real target would land on Sichuan and Shu.

The war in the Central Plains was in a stalemate, and the troops of Guanlong, who should have seized the opportunity to launch an offensive in the rear, actually quickly retracted back to Tongguan because the cavalry was blocked on the road, all these appearances were enough to make Sun Ning vigilant and aware of some conspiracy and calculation.

And Wen Liangyu's reminder gave him a clear conjecture - the enemy army was attacking in the Central Plains and withstanding the offensive of the Vietnamese army, and its purpose was to launch a sneak attack on the Dayue court from another direction.

Calculated carefully, apart from Sichuan and Shu, which already borders Guanlong, there is no other more suitable target for them.

Because of one of them, Sichuan and Shu have not had a major war for more than ten years, and the elite men and horses among them have been continuously transferred by the imperial court for the northern and southern conquests in these years, so it can be said that Sichuan and Shu at this time are the most paralyzed and weak times.

Even if there is an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain barrier between Sichuan and Shu, as long as Li Wannian's side uses troops properly, seizes the opportunity, and adds some means outside the battlefield, it is naturally enough to take an important place in eastern Sichuan like Langzhou.

Second, even if the imperial court reacts quickly enough and dispatches troops in time to protect themselves, as long as they take an area west of Sichuan and Shu and open up a passage that can calmly go north to Huguang and other places, it will be a big profit for them.

You must know that although the Dayue army in the Central Plains is strong now, it has also paid a lot of price, that is, the emptiness in the rear.

For this battle, the imperial court not only transferred more than seventy percent of the soldiers and horses in Jiangnan, Sichuan, Shu and other places, but also drew more than half of the soldiers and horses in the two lakes and two Huai.

Although these places are not undefended, if they are really attacked by a large army, the rear of the imperial court is bound to be in chaos. The two lakes and Jiangnan and other places are all rich and grain-heavy, and once they are attacked, the logistics cannot keep up, and the front-line army will suffer.

Therefore, at this juncture, Baochuan Shu is not only to protect the land of Longxing, but also to stabilize the rear of Baodayue.

Therefore, after figuring out the key points, Sun Ning did not dare to delay in Kaifeng any longer, and immediately set off to go straight to Sichuan and Shu. Because of the big stake, he didn't even go back to Jinling, or transfer other people from Jiangnan and other places, but only sent a message to Guan Zhenduo and Yan Yifei and other cronies, and only brought a small number of guards and so on, Pegasus entered Sichuan and Shu.

If you don't go back to Jinling, it is in order not to cause chaos in the rear, and not to send more soldiers and horses into Sichuan and Shu, in case your judgment is wrong, and you still need soldiers and horses to be stationed in various places. Otherwise, if the remaining troops and horses were really mobilized to go straight to Sichuan and Shu, and the enemy was killed from another position that he did not expect, the situation would not be easy to clean up.

Of course, now it seems that the worries behind it are superfluous, and the soldiers of Guanlong really plan to set off from Ganlong and attack Sichuan and Shu. Maybe now their vanguard team is not far from Langzhou, and it is about to appear in the most important throat in eastern Sichuan......

Of course, such a dangerous pass as Jiameng Pass is in the way, even if the enemy army comes more and more suddenly, Sun Ning is not too worried. But he knows more well that the gun is easy to dodge and the arrow is difficult to prevent, judging from Li Wannian's strategy this time, I am afraid that as early as a few months ago, they were already preparing for this battle, and all parts of Sichuan and Shu, especially the key Langzhou line, must have already hidden many Guan Long spies, waiting for a battle to seize the pass and break the city.

This is the reason why he came in disguise and changed his name, and on the other hand, in front of many people in the rivers and lakes, he directly said the speculation that the emperor was likely to come.

Because only in this way can these spies hidden in the shadows move, and in today's situation, the spies hidden in the shadows are much more tricky than the spies who are exposed when they move.

Under Sun Ning's explanation, Guan Yan and the others understood his painstaking efforts, but Guan Zhenduo was still a little worried: "Your Majesty, this is still too risky, even if you want to lead them to make a move, you don't have to talk about your own future here......

"Yes, for example, in the name of General Yanhu, it is enough to attract them to take action and expose their identities." Yan Yifei also agreed.

"You can only catch big fish if the bait is good enough." Sun Ning said with a determined face, "Let's see what they do next." We've all got it all arranged? ”

Seeing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, the two could only choose to accept it. After sighing, Guan Zhenduo nodded and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, these people are surrounded by eyeliner, as long as they take action, they can't escape the attention of Wuyisi." ”

"That's good. The enemy is strong and I am weak in this battle, if we want to defend Jiameng Pass and Langzhou, we must not make any mistakes or omissions, especially in this secret battle, let alone be sloppy! Sun Ning said, his eyes shining even brighter.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door, and under the slight change of expression and vigilance of the three people, there was a knock on the door: "Three adults, there is movement......
