Chapter 656

Going Against the Way

Chen Kefu looked at the sand table carefully. The south bank of the Yellow River was Henan, the west bank was Hedong, the middle was Taihang Mountains blocked, and the east was Hebei.



com//《》 full text txt download Currently they are in Mengjin City, Heyang County, west of the north bank, and opposite to them is Mangdang Mountain in the north of Luoyang. Mangdang Mountain undulates in the north of Luoyang and is facing the Yellow River in the south. During the Sui Dynasty, Huiluo granary was established near the nearby mountains, and Heyang Gang was established on the north bank of the Yellow River at the foot of the mountain.

Mangdang Mountain is high above. After Li Mi took back to Luocang, he established Jinyong City based on this. Jinyong City is like a solid nail, stuck between Heyang on the north bank and Luoyang on the south bank, cutting Wang Shichong's Jianghuai army in Hedong and Luoyang on the east bank.

Not far from the east along the Yellow River, it is the Luoshui River that runs through Luoyang City and enters the Yellow River mouth. The Luoshui River enters the river mouth is the largest granary of the Sui Dynasty. At the highest, it was Luokou Warehouse with 24 million stones of grain storage. Behind Luokou is the last gateway to the east of Luoyang, Baihua Valley. In front of him, it enters Xingyang, which is the most solid pass to the east of Luoyang, and the Sishui Hulao Pass. Further east of Hulao Pass is an important pass that controls the Yellow River and the canal, Jindi Pass.

If you want to take Luoyang, you must first take Xingyang. If you want to take Xingyang, you must first take Jindi! This is the only way for military strategists to attack Luoyang from the east.

Li Mi's current base camp is in Jinyong City in Mangdang Mountain to the north of Luoyang. The main force is arranged along the south bank of the Yellow River in Jinyong, Baihua Valley, Huiluo, Hulao, and Jindi. If Chen Kefu's navy wants to return to Ji County, Hebei safely, he must pass through Li Mi's heavy army defense zone.

When they came, Li Mi had just taken Luokou and returned to Luoyang. His troops were all near Luoyang. Even if he wanted to stop him, he was powerless. But now it is different. Chen Kefu's naval fleet has been stationed in Mengjin for a long time, and everyone in the world knows it.

Li Mi's base camp Jinyong City and the Mengjin Ferry where Chen Kefu was stationed were just across the river. For more than a month, Li Mi was afraid that Wang Shichong and Chen Kefu would join forces to attack Jinyong's nest and mobilized heavy troops to arrange defense on the south bank. However, Mangdang Mountain occupies the natural terrain, and neither Wang Shichong nor Chen Kefu is fools, and no one will go straight to Li Mi's nest.

However, Wang Shichong was poisoned to death, and the Jianghuai Army and Duan Da, Yuan Wendu and others who were left behind in the Dongdu were a little difficult to coordinate and were in chaos. At this time, Chen Kefu was about to return to Hebei, and how could Li Mi, who had already made a free hand, let him go south so easily? Although he knew that the Hebei fleet was strong and the warships were tall, Li Mi was known as the one with the most soldiers in the world.

What he lacks the most is manpower. He can mobilize 100,000 and 200,000 people to block Chen Pojun and use more than 100,000 to deal with the 50,000 naval commander. Li Mi has the confidence. Even if he can't kill Chen Pojun, even if he can get all 200,000 people in, as long as he can severely damage this navy or even kill a few important generals, it will be quite worth it.

So as early as when he decided to join forces with Wei Daoer, Li Yuan and others, he not only took out the most poisonous poison to Dou Hongshi, but also arranged a more ruthless rear move. He stationed in Hulao and Jindi with 100,000 troops, and sent people to block the two rivers. If Chen Pojun was poisoned to death, the more confident the return fleet would be to eat it. ""Advertisement txt download" If Chen Kefu was not poisoned to death, he would also use his troops to force him to stay here.

While looking at the sand table, Chen Kefu quietly followed Fang Xuanzao with his own light.

Fang Xuanzao, who had just calmed down, was still pale in color, and stood on the side with his waist and said nothing. However, Chen Kefu noticed that although Fang Xuanzao lowered his head and said nothing, in fact, he occasionally glanced at this side, and his ears were listening carefully to their discussion.

Chen Kefu smiled slightly in his heart. He didn't forget this guy just now, but deliberately pretended to forget him and left him here. The plan he set in his heart had to be completed by this old man Fang. Seeing that he had taken the bait, Chen Kefu couldn't help but smile in his heart.

Guo Xiaoke repeatedly looked at Li Mi's deployment written by Fang Xuanzao, and slapped his thigh and said, "Your Highness, I have an idea. Since Li Mi is in Hulao and Jindi, why don't you do the opposite?"

"How to oppose the Dharma? We are navy masters, and we can't let the soldiers carry the boats and change the route. They are now on the Yellow River to wait for us. Can we still circumvent it?" Luo Shixin said in confusion.

Guo Xiaoke held the pieces of paper in his hand and shook gently, "If we didn't get this information, of course it would be another matter, but now." He raised the information in his hand, "Of course there is no problem with everything."

"Speak quickly."

"Just..." Guo Xiaoke spoke to his mouth, then shut up again, turned to look at Fang Xuanzao who was huddling there.

Lu Shishen glanced at Fang Xuanzao in disgust and shouted, "You go out."

Two guards walked into the cabin, and Fang Xuanzao looked at Chen Kefu in fear.

Chen Kefu waved his hand, "No need to do this. Now that Lord Fang has sincerely submitted to the court, he is already a member of my court. Besides, Lord Fang has told us all such important information, why should he be careful of him? If Lord Chen really has other thoughts, we just need to send these papers to Master Li, and I believe Li Mi will hate this leaker more than anyone else."

"King Chen, I will never dare to have another intention. Please ask King Chen to Mingjian. If the little one really has that strange intention, let the sky thunder be blown by five thunders, and thousands of arrows pierce the heart, and you will not die well." Fang Xuanzao swears urgently.

"Okay, Lord Fang is a smart person, and only those who know the times are heroes. I believe that if you choose, Lord Fang should be brighter and clearer than others. I won't say more about these words, so we should continue to discuss how to deal with Li Mi's interception. As for Lord Fang, let's stay here to discuss details. If there are any omissions, please provide more references." Chen Kefu said carelessly, as if he didn't take Fang Xuanzao seriously.

Fang Xuanzao quickly lowered his head and said yes, but under the eyes of the low hammer, there was an invisible resentment.

With Chen Kefu's consent, Guo Xiaoke walked to the sand table with his baton and drew a circle in front of Hulao Pass.

"Li Mi doesn't know now that we already know his intention to fight, so he will still set up a large army ambush in Hulao as planned and lay a second line of defense at Jindi Pass to prevent any fish that leaked the net. Therefore, his main force must be in Hulao with the main and Jindi is the second. Li Mi's operation was an ambush, so he did not dare to mobilize his troops in Henan, Shannan and other places with great fanfare. Therefore, he must be able to draw troops in Jinyong City, outside Luoyang City, Baihua Valley, and even Luokou Cang, Gongxian County where Luoyang enters the mouth of the Yellow River. These were originally extremely important places."

Speaking of this, Guo Xiaoke smiled, his eyes full of mockery, "Although Li Mi claimed to have the most soldiers today, most of his subordinates were mobs. The truly powerful ones were mostly old troops dominated by Wagang Village, which was exactly the important points I mentioned above. By then, Li Mi pulled troops from each city, and even if he drew 100,000 troops, the troops in each city would be greatly reduced."

"Didn't Li Mi send people to set up ambush in Hulao and Jindi? Then we will turn the bow of the ship directly at the mouth of the Luoshui River and go straight to the Luoshui River. At that time, our 50,000 troops will break into Luoshui and kill Li Mi off guard. We will attack Baihua Valley directly along the Luoshui River. As long as we take Baihua Valley, it will be like cutting off Li Mi's troops besieging Luoyang and Jinyong City in Mangdang Mountain to the west. Most of the troops and horses in Luokou, Hulao, Jindi, and Xingyang, Dongjun will be cut off on the east side of Luoyang."

Zhang Zhongjian held a few small flags and showed his attack route on the sand table as Guo Xiaoke said. Lu Shishen looked at the lonely Jinyong City on Mangdang Mountain and grinned, "The soldiers besieged Luoyang and Jinyong City were greatly reduced by Li Mi. If we surrounded them in Luoyang, then we would join more than 100,000 troops from Yang Tong in Luoyang City, and we could fight against Li Mi. Jinyong City lives north of Luoyang. If we send another message to Wang Xuan, the son of Wang Shichong, to cross the river from Mengjin, it will be difficult to protect Jinyong City. If Li Mi is in Jinyong City, we will just catch him in anger and see how he looks like he will."

Qin Qiong behind him reminded with some concern, "Your Highness, we only have 50,000 troops. If we abandon the ship and land, we will not be able to carry large equipment and logistics food and grass. We even don't even have many war horses. Although there are 50,000 people, Yang Tong in Luoyang City has 100,000 people, and Wang Xuanying in Heyang has more than 100,000 people. Even if Li Mi's soldiers were drawn to Hulao, the total number of soldiers and horses surrounding Luoyang and Jin Yong's soldiers would be at least 300,000. If they see that I am weak, they want to swallow our army first. Wouldn't it be dangerous for King Chen and us?"

Chen Kefu waved his hand indifferently, "Shubao is worried too much, and this plan is to win by surprise. No matter how much Li Mi makes sense, how could he think that I dare to counterattack his lair with 50,000 people? His troops were all transferred to Hulao and other places to set up an ambush. It was when the west was empty. How could he prevent it? What's more, the current enemy of Dongdu and Wang Xuanying is Li Mi. We go to break the siege of Dongdu. They are still grateful, so how could they feel kind to repay hatred? This plan is very consistent with my heart. Li Mi is a hero of the world. Now that Wang Shichong is dead, there is no more enemy in Henan. If we don't take this opportunity and eliminate Li Mi in one fell swoop, it will be difficult to plan in the future."

Qin Shubao wanted to persuade him again, but Zhang Zhongjian there had quietly stepped on him. Chen Kefu's usual actions today had already understood a little. It must be related to Fang Xuanzao there, so he has been cooperating in acting.

Chen Shubao was just always loyal, but he was not stupid. Zhang Zhongjian stepped on him and he immediately understood. He bowed and retreated.

At that moment, Chen Kefu decided to use Guo Xiaoke's plan on the spot, and did not go back to Hebei directly by then. Instead, he turned into Luokou at the mouth of the river, attacked the Dongdu directly, and caught Li Mi off guard.

The generals surrounded this new combat target and made their own suggestions. Without avoiding Fang Xuanzao, they directly discussed. Moreover, several times along the way, Chen Kefu asked him to come forward to discuss some of Li Mi's arrangements and military generals, and finally asked him to consult with the staff to discuss the offensive plan.

The group discussed it all over the middle of the night, and it was not until the third day that they discussed a complete raid plan. Chen Kefu asked Fang Xuanzao, a scholar, to write and summarize the plan. After that, Chen Kefu was so happy that he was in a good mood. He also sent some wine and dishes to drink with the generals, and even Fang Xuanzao received this treatment. It was not until the third day that Chen Kefu called two guards and asked them to arrange Fang Xuanzao on the comfortable battleship Lingbo.

Chen Kefu and others, who were already drunk, had their tongues tied up, their faces flushed, and they were shaking their way through the road. After Fang Xuanzao went down for a long time, they all suddenly regained the clear expression on their faces.

Everyone looked at me and I saw you and they couldn't help laughing. At first, they just smiled. Later, Lu Shishen couldn't help it. While covering his stomach, he slapped the table with his hands and laughed loudly. The Lingbo and Anlan were separated by Xuyuan, so there was no need to worry about Fang Xuanzao's hearing it.

Zhang Zhongjian touched the bearded man on his face and held back his smile, "In the past, Zhou Lang played Jiang Gan, and asked Cao Cao to kill Cai Mao, the governor of the navy, and Zhang Yun, and cut off his arm. Today, the same is true for His Highness, and he tricked Fang Xuanzao. He just acted for a long time, which made Fang Xuanzao believe what we called a surprise attack strategy. But Fang Xuanzao is still among my navy, how can he get back to Li Mi?"

Most of the things I knew just now were in my heart, but Luo Shixin, who didn't like to use his brain, was a little confused. When he heard this, he patted his head and understood. "How can your Highness know that Fang Xuanzao is not really surrendering?"

Chen Kefu smiled, "Fang Xuanzao is of a bad character. Even if he really surrenders, I don't want to use him. It would be better to use it for waste. This evening, I first beat him in public on the river embankment and humiliated him. Later, during the interrogation, I arranged for someone to beat him. He was afraid of death, so he kowtowed and asked for mercy. But in fact, the literati who was waiting for the birth of a life has always been arrogant. I humiliated him several times today, and he had already resented me in my heart. Besides, he has always been valued by Li Mi under Li Mi's account. If he surrendered to my court, he would not have such use. In this case, if he had the chance, how could this person stay in our army with peace of mind. Therefore, today he used a little trick just to make him a messenger. Li Mi has always used it with him. If it was the information he brought back, Li Mian would have the reason to disbelief."

When everyone heard this, they suddenly felt reasonable. Fang Xuanzao was so unbearable to show that if he really stayed, I was afraid that no one would look down on him anymore. No one sympathized with such a person, but just laughed at his highness's clever strategy.

As he was laughing, Chen Lei came in to report that it was the woman who had previously ordered the placement of the Zhenhai No. 1, and said that there was an urgent matter to be reported to His Highness Chen.

When Chen Kefu heard that Feng Hua was so late, he had an urgent matter to come and find him. He laughed and said, "It's better to come early, it's better to be a coincidence. I am also thinking about how to send Fang Xuanzao back, but unexpectedly, there is a ready-made one here. Please come in!"
