74. Marching into Luoyang
"Dashuai!"
"This place is already in Shibata County!"
"If you go north from here to bypass the Yellow River and attack Luoyang, you must pass through the Mengjin Pass, which is built along the mountain range and river, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not easy to take!"
"Here to the west along the Yiluo River is the Yanshi, and the Tartars are stationed between the Yanshi and the Yiluo River with an elite army of thousands of people!"
"And the Tartars have built a dam in Yanshi, there is a lot of rain this year, and the water of the embankment has already been filled by Tartars, if we rashly attack Yanshi, I am afraid that the Tartars will dig up the water of the embankment, and then our army will suffer heavy losses, so it is probably not the best policy to capture Luoyang along the Yiluo River!"
"And to the southwest, is Songshan Mountain, between the main peak of Songshan Taimur Mountain and Shaomu Mountain, there is a Xuanyuan Pass, although it is a shortcut to Luoyang, but there are also Tartar guards, and there is a danger of nine songs, not suitable for attacking!"
"If you go further south, along the south of Songshan to the west, it is Taigu Pass, although Taigu Pass is easier to capture than other passes, but there is a Yique Pass in the direction of Luoyang, this pass is even easier to defend and difficult to attack, if you want to take it, the difficulty is not inferior to Mengjin Pass!"
"So we attack Henan Mansion this time, how do you think you plan to act?"
As soon as Xu Xian took the soldiers and went to the nearby to pay respects to the tomb of the first emperor of the Song Dynasty, he met Yue Lin and Han Yanzhi and other generals who came to inquire.
"Then, according to the analysis of several generals, if we want to attack Henan Mansion directly along the Yiluo River, it will not work?"
Xu Xian asked the generals.
"Yes!"
"It doesn't work!"
"It doesn't work!"
The generals used to respond together.
"But now we go south to detour back to capture the Xuanyuan Pass, Dagu Pass, and even Yique Pass you mentioned, which not only takes too long, but also adds to the hardships!"
"If you go north to attack Mengjin Pass, you have to cross the Yellow River twice, and in the end, you have to face the easy to defend and difficult to attack Mengjin Pass, and the risk is not small!"
"Well, let's go straight through the Beibi Mountain, what do you think?"
Xu Xian expressed his opinion.
"However, our army is numerous, and we are followed by a large number of vehicles transporting property, and it will not be easy to cross the northern part of the mountains!"
"Dashuai, I don't think this strategy is feasible!"
Han Yanzhi was the first to object.
"When I said crossing the Beibi Mountain, not all of them ...... together!"
"Do you understand?"
Xu Xian explained in detail the strategy he had carefully prepared one by one.
"This ...... That's fine, too! ”
"Okay, I, Yue Lin, am willing to lead the troops through the north!"
"I, Han Yanzhi, am willing to go and attack Yanshi!"
"I, Lu You, can attack Dagu Pass for you!"
"I, Yang Poyu, can attack Xuanyuan Pass for the commander!"
After listening to Xu Xian's plan, all the generals began to obey his orders.
Henan Mansion, Luoyang City.
"Report to General Belie!"
"Xu Xian has now divided his troops into three ways to attack our Luoyang!"
A general hurriedly came to report to the Jin soldier general Hebelie.
"Good!"
"The Song people are really here!"
"That's what I'm waiting for!"
"You give me a detailed report on the deployment of the Song army's attack!"
He Beilie seemed to be waiting for a fish to enter the net, and he was very excited.
"The Song army, this army ...... along the Yiluo River from Shibata!"
"This army is ...... roundabout!"
"This army ......!"
The generals will report one by one.
"Good...... Good! ”
"This Song army attacked our army in three ways, but it didn't attack Mengjin Pass!"
"It seems that Song Jun is afraid of fraud!"
"You order to go down and let the army from Jingzhao Mansion come to support me and give me to strictly guard Mengjin Pass!"
"The others are all deployed as before, don't act rashly!"
"If you meet Song Jun, report the situation immediately!"
He Belle commanded.
Southeast of Yanshi City, on the banks of the Yiluo River.
"General Harbour!"
"The Song army has reached the east bank of the Yiluo River, should we prepare to dig the embankment of the Luo River and flood them?"
"What's the hurry?"
"Although the Song army attacked us in three ways this time, there was no movement of the Song army in the north direction of Mengjin, so General Hebeilie thought that the Song army was just a suspicious soldier!"
"Even if there is a Song army on the east bank of the Yiluo River, don't panic, see how many of them there are!"
"But listening to the news of the spies, those Song troops are less than a thousand people, and it seems that they want to deliberately bluff!"
"Then I'll let people keep watching!"
"Okay, just keep an eye on it!"
"Otherwise, if something really happens to Yanshi, do you know that you are the first sin?"
"Why am I the first sin?"
"Isn't it you, the general, who is responsible for commanding the troops to guard the Yan Division?"
"Because you were born in Song Gou, and I was born in the Jurchen clan of Tang and Tang and Bohai, so you don't deserve to compare with me!"
"Got it?"
"Why don't you give me a good eye on your Song dogs?"
An official was talking with the general of the Jin Kingdom at this time, and then went out in a gloomy manner.
"What...... Target! ”
"You think you are a Tartar, you are powerful, when the emperor finished his face, he was admiring the Jurchen Han family!"
"Now you still scold me Song Dog, and I still scold you to death... What about the tartars! ”
"One, die... Tartars! ”
"What kind of chaos has you made in Henan now, and you are still so arrogant!"
"Die... Tartars! ”
The official walked angrily, muttering incessantly.
Suddenly, the officer felt like someone had been hit.
When I looked up, I found that I had actually collided with the spies who had reported the news before.
"What are you doing!"
"What are you going for?"
The officer immediately questioned the spy.
"Grandpa Guan!"
"I... Of course, I'm going to report to General Harbin! ”
"There's a new situation ahead!"
The spy said as he prepared to leave.
"You stop for Lao Tzu... Hold it! ”
"Shouldn't you report to this official?"
"How do you run to death... Tartar... Ha... The Thorn General has reported the news! ”
After the official drank the spy, he wanted to scold the Tartar general, but he held back.
"Because... Because General Harbin said that you can get ten times when you report to it, and if you report to your grandfather, you only give me five times, of course I chose to report to General Harbin Thorn! ”
The spy finished speaking and prepared immediately.
"You stop me... Hold it! ”
"I'll give you twenty!"
"Twenty runs, is it all right?"
The officer took out the money belt and stopped the spy again.
"Well... Good! ”
"Then I'll tell you grandpa!"
"This Song soldier is ...... in the Yiluo River!"
"They're ......!"
The spy recounted.
"What?"
"Song Bing actually secretly crossed Chen Cang?"
"Well... Good! ”
"I see!"
"You go back now, and keep an eye on those Song soldiers for me!"
"And the news will come to me immediately, or twenty times, you know?"
When the official heard the news from the spy, his face changed.
