Tiantang Splendid

Hearing Xiao Yu's analysis, Li Zhi suddenly realized, the previous panic and panic disappeared, and he looked excited: "Song Guogong is actually the prince's wife, if you are not so wise and insightful, this king almost missed a big deal! "

Is Hangu Pass important?

Both important and unimportant.It is important because Hangu Pass is the last barrier to the east of Tongguan. Once it falls, the navy and soldiers can reach Tongguan along both land and water. The two armies of Siwen are enough to besiege Tongguan and attack from both sides.

It is not important because Tongguan has become a deadly place, and even if Hangu Pass can be defended, it is just a lingering death, and defeat will only come sooner or later.If you want to survive from death, you can only fight back against Chang'an with one blow, put it to death and survive, so the gains and losses of Hangu Pass cannot really affect the victory or defeat...

But no matter what, as long as Qiu Xinggong guards Hangu Pass firmly, he can buy time for the main force as much as possible to complete the important task of counterattacking Chang'an.

So Li Zhi praised Xiao Yu, then turned to Yu Chigong, and asked, "The Duke of E is proficient in military affairs, and he was a famous commander at that time. The Duke of E is also fully responsible for the counterattack on Chang'an, but I don't know when we can raise troops?"

He couldn't wait.

Every day that passed, Li Chengqian's throne became more stable, and the sixteen generals who had been watching had gradually begun to attach themselves to the imperial power.If you want to break the situation, you can only launch troops to counterattack Chang'an this morning, and maybe some people will believe in the "legacy" in their hands and respond.

If he continues to wait, the situation will only become more and more unfavorable to him. When the morale of the troops gathered in Tongguan begins to slacken, there will be no chance...

Yu Chigong looked at the heavy rain outside the window, with a sad face: "This rain is too heavy, the road to Chang'an is full of mud, which is not conducive to the passage of the army. Although we have more than [-] troops now, there are too few elites. If we can't If you quickly hit the city of Chang'an, you will definitely be held back by the Chang'an army, and the prospects are not good."

At present, if these mobs in Tongguan want to counterattack Chang'an successfully, they can only "soldier with great speed". Taking advantage of Chang'an's negligence, they arrive at Chang'an with lightning speed, which triggers a chain reaction of troops stationed throughout Guanzhong.

Only by taking millet out of the fire and winning in chaos can there be such a chance of victory.

If the speed of the march is slowed down by the muddy road, and Chang'an can calmly mobilize troops to deal with it, it will undoubtedly lose...

Looking at the rain curtain outside the window, Xiao Yu sighed and said, "But now that the navy is rushing all the way along the canal, where is there enough time for us to wait? In my opinion, it's better to give it a go. It's up to the people to make things happen. sky."

Li Zhi looked hesitant and hesitant: "This... If there is no complete preparation, I am afraid that the winning rate will be too small, and it will not be as smooth as expected."

Yu Chigong shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "How can there be anything perfect in this world? Back then, the late Emperor led us to a bloody battle against the Xuanwu Sect, and there was no chance of winning. There was only one sentence, 'Put them all to death and then live', Your Highness If you don’t fight, how will you know who belongs to the destiny?”

Yin and Yang are changing, five stars are revolving, and everything in the family is changing all the time. How can even the ancient sages count the universe?If you don't do some things, you will never know the right answer.

Cui Xin got up, bowed to the ground, and said loudly: "There are more than ten thousand sons from Shandong family, and they are willing to die for His Highness!"

He finally understood that at this point, King Jin had almost no advantage at all, and the rebellion of the Zheng family in Xingyang completely cut off the road from Tongguan to the Shandong states. Not only did Tongguan become a dead place, but almost all Shandong, which has military strength, money and food, is already a paper window, with holes poked every time.

Instead of sitting still and waiting for the navy to calmly mobilize the army to level the entire Shandong, it is better to take a risk and win the risk.

Yu Chigong also got up, and knelt down on one knee: "You Houwei Siwan Erlang, willing to die for His Highness!"

Xiao Yu, Zhu Suiliang and others also stood up and saluted: "I wish to die for Your Highness!"

The Chinese warriors in the barracks would swear their allegiance loudly, and the sound came out of the door, and the nearby soldiers and guards heard it and echoed in unison: "I am willing to die for Your Highness!"

Farther away, whether it was in the barracks or at the city gate, all the soldiers shouted at the top of their voices: "I am willing to die for Your Highness!"

In the pouring rain, a sound broke through the rain curtain, went straight to Xiaohan, shook the four fields, and resounded through the city.

Morale is high.

Li Zhi felt that his blood was boiling all over his body, and the previous hesitation and fear disappeared under the rushing weather, his heart was filled with pride and ambition, he suddenly got up, his face was flushed, and he slapped the table in front of him fiercely , gritted his teeth, his handsome face twisted ferociously, and said loudly, "Okay!"

"Father wanted me to be the crown prince, and left an edict to pass on the throne. It's a pity that the heavens are jealous of talents, which caused my father to be murdered by rebels and die young, but this king will definitely carry on my father's will, carry on the past and open up the future, cut off traitors, and clarify the world! You are all the humerus of your father's trust in his lifetime. Since you will not forget your father's kindness, please follow this king. Don't be afraid of hardships, survive in death, live up to the righteousness in your heart, live up to the high expectations of the people, and never die regret!"

"No regrets!"

All the people in the barracks promised with a loud voice, and it seemed that they were all ready to sacrifice to save the world and save the world, and the momentum was heroic.

Immediately, everyone began to discuss the strategy of advancing troops.

Standing in front of the map, Yu Chigong was full of confidence because he had already prepared the manuscript: "At present, Cheng Chubi is stationed in Huayin, and Li Siwen is stationed in Zhengxian. It prevents us from going directly to Chang'an from Guangtong Canal, and we rely on and support each other like horns, trapping us in Tongguan. If we want to counterattack Chang'an with lightning speed, we must first solve these two armies. "

Draw a circle in Huayin and Zheng County with a pen, and continue: "The number of these two armies is about [-], not many, but they are both the elite of the Sixth Commander of the Eastern Palace. Leaders of the younger generation should never be ignored. General Mo suggested that General You Mo personally lead his elite troops to defeat Li Siwen's troops along the north bank of Guangtong Canal, and then continue westward across Guangtong Canal to the west of Zheng County to reach Li Siwen. At the rear of the Siwen Department, at the same time, organize boats to transport troops down the river, flanking front and back, and completely clearing away the obstacles to entering Chang'an."

"At that time, as long as we can reach Chang'an quickly, Guanzhong will definitely be shaken, and those who are watching will definitely respond! Before, they were afraid of the power of the Eastern Palace and had to watch the rebels steal the country. Now that His Highness raised his arms, how could they forget the late emperor? The majesty and kindness?"

"It's bound to happen!"

Morale was boosted.

Li Zhi's eyes were bright, and he was so excited that he couldn't contain himself.

These words sounded a bit "painting a big cake", and the ultimate success or failure would be pinned on those sixteen guard generals who were watching, and there were too many uncertainties.But Li Zhi knew in his heart that Qiu Xinggong and Yuwen Shiji sneaked into Chang'an one after another, and they had already convinced their targets. As long as his side could attack the city of Chang'an, the other side would definitely respond with troops.

With those two armies responding, what's the point of the East Palace Liu rate?
This battle must be won!
*****
After days of heavy rain, the water levels of various rivers in Guanzhong skyrocketed, and the Guangtong Canal connecting Chang'an and Tongguan was no exception.The water level soared and the flow was turbulent, which caused the various settings previously arranged to intercept the boats on the river to be washed away, and the two armies stationed in Huayin and Zheng counties had to brave the heavy rain to repair them.

Huayin and Zhengxian are adjacent to each other. Li Siwen and Cheng Chubi are one south and one north, and the distance is less than five miles. With the help of the terrain, they are like two nails firmly anchored here, blocking the two waterways from Tongguan to Chang'an. live.

With heavy responsibilities on their shoulders, the two are under a lot of pressure.

While the soldiers under his command repaired the noose on the river and added obstacles such as deer villages and horse rejection on the official road, Li Siwen crossed the Guangtong Canal by boat and came to the military camp where Cheng Chubi was.

The two of them were sitting in the barracks. It was raining heavily outside, and the rain curtain was deep and misty. Li Siwen tightened his cloak, feeling the chill of late autumn, watching Cheng Chubi boil water and pour tea, and asked with a smile: "Look at you The way of making tea is more like Erlang."

When there is nothing to do, Fang Jun loves to sit and drink tea the most, just like those old people, and Cheng Chubi, who imitated Fang Jun in everything, is also good at this now...

Cheng Chubi made tea, poured two cups, pushed one cup in front of Li Siwen, picked up the other cup, took a sip, and said calmly: "The military situation is urgent and the situation is unpredictable. We are ordered by the emperor to guard this place. Ensure the safety of the road to Chang'an, if you leave your post like this, if something happens, you will be punished with death."
