Chapter 896 The Four Passes of Guanhe
The coalition forces sent troops, and Liu Wuzhou clearly only needed to send 30,000 troops, but he mobilized all the elite troops, and no less than 100,000 secretly headed to Pingliang, where the three kingdoms converged. Pingliang is a very sensitive place. Xiaoguan to the south is the western gate of Guanzhong.
If Liu Wuzhou is dedicated to the public, he is willing to use all his wealth to join the coalition and contribute to the coalition, that is, no one would believe. If he gathered troops in Pingliang, if he was not planning to join the coalition to attack Chen Kefu, then there would be only two possibilities left. One is to be planning to conspire to attack Li Gui from Longxi, or he would have to be planning to Guanzhong.
But as long as you carefully calculate it, you cannot guess Liu Wuzhou's conspiracy.
Longxi and Longyou are separated from the left and right of Longshan Mountain, and are both on the plateau in terms of terrain. But in fact, since Liu Wuzhou captured Longshang, the place he really urgently wanted to annex is actually Guanzhong, and then Hedong. Longyou and Hexi are just a boundary and are not the most urgent thing to compete for.
Considering that Liu Wuzhou had already formed an alliance with Liang Shidu and others before, and then secretly annexed his allies. After discussing with Xu Shiji and others, they all felt that Liu Wuzhou was afraid of making such a plan again. This time, the Allied Army sent troops, Yu Wencheng was the leader, Yu Wencheng was the vanguard and marshal of the coalition's capital, and Xu Jun was also the main force of the coalition, sending 50,000 troops.
After the Yuwen family was satisfied with Guanzhong, they had always been in power in Guanzhong and had not made any progress in several years. Although they had sent troops to Hedong and even marched into Hanzhong, they eventually returned in vain. Instead, they were once beaten by Xue Ju to Chang'an, and later, although the territory was stolen, the power was unable to leave Guanzhong for half a step.
Since Liu Wuzhou annexed Longshang, Liu Wuzhou, who received the help of the Turks, occupied the Longshang Plateau with excellent locality and excellent use of Guanzhong, and used his excellent subduction to Guanzhong, and pressed forward step by step. The Yuwen family was completely suppressed in Guanzhong.
Guanzhong is a strategic area, and it has always been a base. There are too many examples of Guanzhong being the world. Xue Ju and Liu Wuzhou from Erlong never gave up their plans to compete for Guanzhong. This time, the Eight Kingdom Alliance, Yu Wenhua and the secret alliance of the Four Kingdoms Alliance were to break this border situation, prepare to defeat Chen Kefu, the biggest enemy, and prepare to destroy the two confidants who were beside the bed.
However, since Yu Wenhua and he could think so, Liu Wuzhou would naturally not be much worse than him.
Yu Wenhe and the secret alliance with the four countries of Sui, Turks and Wu were preparing to divide the world. Of course, Liu Wuzhou, a guy who had always liked conspiracy, was not idle. When Xu State formed an alliance everywhere, he and Xue Ju secretly reached an alliance, that is, to divide the alliance of Guanzhong.
The two had already agreed to take advantage of this opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the main force of the Yuwen family to come out of Guanzhong, the two countries sent troops to Guanzhong, destroyed the Yuwen family, and divided the Guanzhong. After the completion of the matter, all the counties west of Chang'an and the counties west of the north were owned by Xue Ju, while the counties east of Chang'an and other counties were returned to Liu Wuzhou.
"What should I do now?" After obtaining this latest information, all the generals were a little surprised.
The original plan to send troops was that after crossing the river, the army took advantage of the suddenness of sending troops and killed them directly to the northwest. Captured the thief and captured the king and headed straight to Lingwu County, Liu Wuzhou's old nest. After capturing Liu Wuzhou, he could dismantle Liu Wuzhou's troops in Longshang. Then he went south to attack Xiaoguan. At that time, the troops were at the city of Xiaoguan. He could attack Xiqiu and Li Gui to the west, and directly threatened the Yuwen family in Chang'an to the east. When necessary, he could even cross the Yellow River, take the grassland directly, appear behind the Turks, and encircle the Turks from the flanks.
When the plan was to send troops, the plan made was to allow this army to threaten the countries of the Western Alliance, especially to the Yuwen family. Force the Western Alliance to be unable to send troops to Hedong according to the established plan. By then, the Western Alliance could not send troops as planned, and the Eastern Alliance would be likely to cancel the plan, and the entire plan of attacking the north and south would also fail.
In this way, the Chen army could calmly defeat the Turks first, and then turn around and defeat each country.
The situation has changed now, is it still going as planned?
Seeing the generals silent, Liu Guangshi was afraid that he would be cut by a knife. At this time, he hurriedly said: "Sir, the villain is willing to risk his life to sneak into Xiaoguan for his inner support."
"What did you say?" Xu Shiji frowned.
"Sir, Liu Wuzhou has now gone to Pingliang County a few days ago, and he asked Ma Wu to draw 3,000 troops from Shangxian to Pingliang. Originally, Ma Wu was planning to lead the troops today, but unexpectedly, all the generals were leading the troops. Ma Wu's official defense seals were small, so it would be better to pretend that Ma Wu led the troops to Pingliang. At that time, maybe he could take down the Xiaoguan Fortress without knowing it."
Hu Hai was moved in his heart and said to Chen Kedi: "Since Liu Wuzhou transferred all his troops to Pingliang, then the damn Liu Wuzhou may not be in Lingwu County at the moment. We will kill Lingwu thousands of miles away, and we will not be able to get Liu Wuzhou's people and will not be able to destroy his main force. Wouldn't it be idle? Since the Yuwen family and the coalition forces with Liu Wuzhou and others gathered in Xiaoguan, I think we might as well borrow the name of Ma Wu. At that time, we will just capture all the troops and horses of the Three Kingdoms in one fell swoop, and then take down Xiaoguan in one fell swoop."
"There are only 3,000 troops in Ma Wu, but we have 50,000 troops. How can we hide it? Why don't we just take advantage of Liu Wu and Zhou's troops to Pingliang, and we will directly attack the cities and break the counties and counties along the way. At that time, Guanzhong will inevitably be shocked, which will panic Liu Wu and Zhou, Xue Ju, Yu Wen and others. As long as we stand firm in this Longshang, Yu Wen and others will not dare to send troops to Hedong again." Su Lie put forward his own opinion.
At this time, Liu Shiguang had already regarded himself as a member of Chen Jun and plucked up his courage and said, "In the opinion of the young, you generals don't have to argue. It's better to divide the troops into two groups, pretend to be Ma Wu and lead three or five thousand cavalry to Pingliang. The whole way was left to capture cities and plunder and seize the county and counties of Longshang. In this way, if the plan was faked to be Ma Wu was successful, there would be a chance to capture Xiaoguan and even attack the coalition troops. Even if the plan was not successful, you could turn north to attack Liu Wuzhou's old nest Lingwu. Even if it was not good, wouldn't the remaining troops have the chance to capture the county and county of Longyou?"
Liu Shiguang's bold plan surprised Chen Kedi and others. This plan was indeed bold, and even surprised everyone.
If the matter is as true as the information obtained by the Chen army, the four northwest countries will gather in Xiaoguan, and that will be 100,000 troops. What's more, now everyone is 70% sure that Liu Wuzhou and Xue Ju are still secretly increasing troops near Xiaoguan, preparing to plot against Guanzhong.
In this way, the place near Xiaoguan will be the most soldiers in the northwest, and it is completely a powder barrel.
By then, there will definitely be no less than 200,000 soldiers and horses near Xiaoguan, not to mention that Xiaoguan is one of the four major fortresses in Guanzhong, the gateway to the northwest. It only takes three or five thousand people to travel thousands of miles to Xiaoguan, which seems to be a bit overestimating.
However, the more this happens, the more passionate aroused in Chen Kedi's heart suddenly.
What he thought in his heart was that if this trip was successful, it would be a great achievement. As long as things were successful, it would not only destroy the Allied forces of the four northern countries, but also damage various countries in one fell swoop.
Is it a risk or a steady move?
Chen Kedi turned to look at Xu Shiji, Hu Hai, Su Lie, Shan Xiongxin, Wang Jungu, and Huang Junhan generals.
But I saw a sense of heat in everyone's eyes, which was a passionate and passionate feeling.
With a smile in his heart, Chen Kedi couldn't help but laugh secretly.
Who are the people who followed him to fight this time? They are basically a group of people who can't do anything. Hu Hai, Xu Shiji, Su Lie and others are all madmen who dared to dispatch troops in the last Hedong War, which led to the emperor's support. Shan Xiongxin, Wang Junkuo, and Huang Junhan are all generals from Wagang at the time. Since surrendering to Dachen, they have not had many opportunities to make meritorious contributions. This time, they have the opportunity to go to fight with the army. They are all powerful generals on the battlefield, so they naturally understand the consequences of this plan. If they succeed, it will be a wonderful achievement.
The rest of the generals, such as Niu Jinda, Douluda, Xibian, Yang Qianan, etc., were all eager to try.
After thinking for a long time, Chen Kedi finally made up his mind and said, "Then Liu Shiguang and I will take five thousand brothers to pretend to be Ma Wu and take Ma Wu's banner and armor to Pingliang. General Hu Hai will lead the other brothers to stay. When the second group of brothers arrive, you will immediately attack the counties in Longshang."
Hearing this decision, Hu Hai frowned and said dissatisfied: "General, according to the information he has, Xiaoguan will have at least 200,000 troops. It is too risky to bring only 5,000 people. In my opinion, it is better to bring 10,000 people. Lao Hu and Liu Shiguang will take 5,000 people to pretend that Ma Wu's headquarters is in the Ming Dynasty, and the general will bring 5,000 people to hide in the dark. In this way, if you start fighting, you will have more chances of winning. Otherwise, if you travel thousands of miles to Pingliang, if you can't win a battle, it would be a waste of time. Anyway, there are 40,000 brothers behind, and then there are 50,000 troops led by two princes. With them, it is more than enough to sweep the Longshan Mountains."
Xu Shiji also nodded: "What General Hu said makes sense. Five thousand people are too risky, and ten thousand people are barely enough. According to the general, the general will stay and take charge of the command. It is better to do it by the general to go to Pingliang."
Su Lie and others also jumped out: "Let's do it for us. The general can take charge of the command, and then we will have to rely on the general's support."
Chen Kedi looked at the crowd asking for battle and smiled and said, "Everyone goes, the Commander Liu from the Engineering Battalion is left to wait for the troops behind. The important responsibility of the commander should be handed over to the Marshal, Chief Shi and Sima. Since this general is the vanguard general chosen by His Majesty, he will naturally lead the army to Pingliang. If you have different opinions, you can stay. How about it, do you have any objections?"
"No! We have no objection!" The generals present spoke in unison, all without objection.
Chen Kedi smiled softly: "Since there is no objection, then we will make a decision. I will send an order immediately. I will make dinner at the fourth day of tomorrow, and I will start at the fifth day of the day! I will go straight to Pingliang."
"Abide by the order!"
