After dark, the Guanlong army, which had retreated ten miles according to the order, finally camped for more than ten miles in a fairly open area and really settled down.

At this moment, Li Wannian, who hadn't even taken care of his meal, received a spy report from the rear, which was the key intelligence sent by the secret spies in Langzhou before.

But unfortunately, because he was in a hurry to use troops and wanted to take Jiameng Pass by surprise, this information that came very quickly was still a step late.

After reading the above two pieces of information, Li Wannian's face changed again: "No wonder, the Wuyi Division of the Dayue Imperial Court is really powerful, and he actually delivered the news to Langzhou faster than I arranged, and let them make arrangements early." ”

Of course, what he cares more about now is the important piece of information that is not too big to grasp.

Looking at the name of "Sun Ning" on the top, Li Wannian's breathing couldn't help but be slightly shortened: "If I can really capture or kill him alive in this battle, then the power of the world may still fall into my hands......"

Thinking about this, he had the idea of taking even greater risks in order to complete his work. However, soon, his reason forcibly suppressed this idea again, not to mention that the authenticity of this matter needs to be further confirmed, even if Sun Ning really came to Sichuan and Shu this time, the follow-up battle still cannot be based on arresting or killing him as the main goal, otherwise the entire strategy will be completely overturned.

Li Wannian was a calm and wise person enough, and after a while, he had already settled down from this great temptation, and gave birth to a strategy that might be more secure.

"Come on, go and invite Jiang Chong over!" If he hadn't been able to decide whether to use that strategy before, now he has made up his mind.

After a while, the soldiers outside the tent came to report that someone asked to see him, but it was not Jiang Chong who he specially asked someone to invite, but Xie Yun, who had said that he had failed to surrender.

Regarding Xie Yun's request to see, Li Wannian only thought about it for a while, and then let him in.

After waiting for the other party to salute, he smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about the previous failure, I asked you to surrender, it was just a temptation, and I didn't have much hope." ”

"This is indeed the lack of ability of the subordinate officials, so they have the trust of the general." Xie Yun bowed down again, but when he got up again, he said with a straight face, "But the lower official came to see the general at this time, but not to ask for guilt." ”

"Oh? So what else do you think? ”

"Xia Guan thinks that if you want to break this Jiameng Pass, you must not just attack it by force like today. Otherwise, even if we are outnumbered, the constant casualties will damage the prestige of the general. And even if you win the Jiameng Pass, how should you fight the battle in the future? ”

"Well, let's talk about your solution." Li Wannian immediately looked at the other party and said.

"This is actually not a way to get off the ranks, but I heard a few words from Shen Junshi before."

As soon as he heard him say that this was the strategy of his most trusted military advisor Shen Bo, Li Wannian's spirit was even more uplifted: "What did the military advisor say at the beginning? ”

It is said that since four or five years ago, he finally brought Shenbo to Chang'an, and he naturally obeyed his words. Under Shenbo's continuous suggestions and suggestions, Li Wannian's power and influence in Guanlong have indeed expanded, and his reputation has become bigger and bigger.

This made him respect the old military advisor of the Pingtian Army even more.

If it weren't for Shenbo's frail health and inability to travel with the army on an expedition, he would have directly brought the other party to fight Sichuan and Shu this time.

"The military advisor had a very high opinion of the three passes of Sichuan and Shu at the beginning, thinking that none of them could be defeated by manpower. In the face of such a dangerous situation, it is most unwise to attack, and it is necessary to use more ingenious means and some tools. ”

After Xie Yun paused, he said: "Take the current Jiameng Pass as an example, its strength lies in standing against the mountain, and its weakness also lies in this. It's right on our side, and it's impregnable, but it's easy to break down if you can get around it from other mountain trails. It doesn't even take much longer, a few hundred people can take advantage of the night to attack the pass, and they can open the passage and let our army enter. ”

Li Wannian's eyes lit up, this was actually the strategy he had in mind now.

It's only because it will take a lot of time after all, that he thinks about attacking first, maybe he can go down in one go.

"What you said won my heart, and I won't hide it from you, I have seventy or eighty percent confidence in this strategy......" As Li Wannian revealed his plan, Xie Yun's face was not only surprised, but more admiration: "It turns out that the general has already planned, but the subordinate is too worried." ”

But then, he said: "But I don't know if there is another strategy, I don't know if the general has thought of it?" ”

"Huh? And the strategy? ”

"Yes, although it is not easy to grasp the strategy of detouring and attacking, it has a certain risk after all, and it must be prevented from being detected by the enemy. Therefore, the military advisor once said at the time that in fact, it is not impossible to break the level head-on, but it is necessary to use a stone thrower to destroy the foundation of this level. ”

Li Wannian's combat experience is quite rich, and when he heard this sentence, he quickly had a plan in his heart, and his eyes lit up: "Yes, this wall is so high, it must not be too stable below." As long as we put a little more effort into smashing it with boulders, even if we can't really break through, it will be enough to shake its military morale! ”

But then, he frowned again: "It's just that for a while, where are you going to find a lot of wood to build a powerful stone thrower?" ”

Defending the strong wall and clearing the field has always been a routine operation, and Jia Mengguan, which is the throat fortress of eastern Sichuan, is naturally no exception.

It can be said that, except for the mountains that extend on both sides of the junction, it is almost impossible to find any decent trees in a radius of dozens of miles around here, and there are no materials for this at all.

"The general doesn't have to worry, we have already brought something, and it will exist in the rear army." Xie Yun hurriedly smiled.

"Is that so?" Li Wannian was surprised, and then he understood, "This is also arranged by the military advisor, right?" ”

"Exactly, he said at the time that maybe we could use it."

"I'm really sorry for the military division." Li Wannian sighed heartily, and then clapped: "Just do what you say." I will use both strategies, and in addition to sending people to make a detour, I will use a stone thrower to tackle the problem head-on. Even if they don't really succeed in breaking down the wall, it's enough to distract them. ”

And in this way, you don't have to use that plan, it is indeed more secure than you originally thought, after all, the hole cards have to be kept until the end.

When Xie Yun left, Jiang Chong, who was summoned, followed him into the military tent.

This time, Li Wannian no longer went around in circles, and said directly: "Jiang Daxia, you have also seen today's battle, this Jiameng Pass is indeed difficult to break." So I would like to ask you and your brothers to climb over the mountain over there, and after the Sheephorn Road, which has not been walked for many years, and make a detour to this level, launch a sneak attack! ”
