Chapter 2704: The inside story of the Qin, Sui and Luoyang Treaty, Zhang Liang's layout two years in advance
Yuzhong and Heguan are the two gates in the southeast of Jincheng County, among which Heguan was captured by Gongsun Xuanyuan when the Great Qin captured the three counties of Longxi.

The reason why it later fell into the hands of the Sui State was naturally impossible for the Sui army to attack it by force, but Daqin voluntarily surrendered it to the Sui State.

At that time, the Qin army just wiped out Li Tang and invaded Liangzhou with the momentum of a great victory. After Sui suffered a little loss, he chose to cede the land for peace in fear.

When Da Qin saw that the Sui State had given up, it was natural that the lion opened his mouth and directly demanded that the Sui State cede two and a half counties.

Although Yang Guang was intimidated, he was not stupid. Except for the two and a half counties that Daqin wanted, most of them were the essence of the Sui Kingdom.

Although the Sui State agreed to cede land, it was impossible to cede so much land, so the two countries fell into three days of long negotiations, and finally cede two and a half counties, talking about ten counties in the east of Wuwei County.

The ten counties in the eastern part of Wuwei County, with a flat plain, are almost impossible to defend. If the Qin army really came over, the Sui Kingdom would not be able to defend it, so ceding these ten counties is still within the scope of the Sui Kingdom.

But after all, it is a whole ten counties with a population of several 10. It is still difficult for the Sui State to accept the direct cession, so it puts forward a condition: the Sui State agrees to cede the ten counties in the east of Wuwei County, but Daqin must To exchange for Heguan.

Heguan is the name of a county, not a checkpoint. Although it is only a small town with a population of over [-], its geographical location is extremely important.

Heguan is located at the junction of Longxi and Jincheng. It is not only the west gate of Longxi, but also the south gate of Jincheng County.

In the heyday of Heguan, the number of defenders alone reached [-], nearly twice the total population.

Just when Li Mu was about to continue marching towards Daxing, news came that Hu Luguang had captured Yuzhong City, which also shocked Li Mu and other generals.

After Yang Guang returned to Heguan, he immediately sent heavy troops to Heguan, and continued to reform Heguan.

But Yang Guang never thought that Li Jing would use Li Mu as the general of the First Route Army.

But Heguan is still in the hands of Daqin after all, and Daqin has always been able to enter and exit.

If you want to change the land cession and compensation into an exchange of land with Daqin, the nature is completely different, and the difficulty of negotiation can be imagined.

Although the river pass is broken, it is not unimpeded to enter Daxing. There are still three mountains and five villages.

But what Sima Xin never imagined was that Li Mu even thought of this, and set up an ambush to intercept the flying cavalry in advance, so Daxing City never received the news of the fall of Heguan.

The court of the Sui Kingdom completely exploded. They couldn't believe that Da Qin dared to fight against Sui on two fronts before he had conquered the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming. .

Qin Huang Ying Hao wanted to end the war as soon as possible, so Gan Gang was arbitrarily determined and directly agreed to Sui's conditions, but he also put forward a condition, that is, the land exchange cannot be directly written into the treaty, and Heguan is not Daqin It was because of the negligence of the Great Qin guard that the Sui army took Heguan away.

Seeing that the whole Qin Dynasty was so arrogant and completely slaughtered the Sui Kingdom as a defeated country, Cheng Gongying, the ambassador of the Sui Kingdom, had already given up hope of exchanging land, and even made plans to break up the negotiation, but he did not expect that the situation would suddenly happen without any warning. The peak turns.

In the Daqin Black Ice Terrace, there is a department that specializes in raising birds. In addition to raising pigeons that carry messages, this department also specializes in raising falcons that intercept carrier pigeons, and there are not a few of them.

The proposal of agreeing to cede Heguan was proposed by Zhang Liang to Ying Hao. He felt that Heguan was not very useful in the hands of Daqin. After all, the Sui Kingdom did not dare to take the initiative to attack Qin. The lifeblood of Jincheng.

After a short period of shock, Li Mu felt that this was justified. After all, that army had more troops than him, and the generals had plastic surgery better than him. It would be strange if they could not defeat Yuzhong.

The day before the "Luoyang Treaty" was formally signed, due to the "negligence" of the guard of Daqinhe Pass, Heguan City was seized by the Sui State, but this incident did not affect the signing of the contract.

But even so, Yuzhong City only persisted for two days, and under Hu Luguang's plan, it was easily breached by Qin Jun.

Moreover, ceding ten counties and exchanging for one county, if you go and return, then it is not ceding the land, but exchanging the land.

Li Tang embraced the danger of Tongguan, but he was not wiped out by Daqin.

The main army in the rear reached Heguan in just one day, and pulled out nearly a hundred Sui army sentry posts along the way.

Sima Xin surrendered and helped Li Mu say that Cao Jiu was surrendered. With the help of these two men, most of the defenders at Heguan surrendered directly, and a small number of those who escaped died because of Qin Shuang and Nie Feng. ambush.

If the river pass is in the hands of Sui State, then the defense line in the south of Jincheng will be complete, so that Sui State will feel safe facing the Great Qin.

In this way, the Qin and Sui countries successfully signed the "Treaty of Luoyang". Although the Sui State lost the land of ten counties in the east of Wuwei, it gained Heguan and improved the southern defense line of Jincheng.

Li Mu naturally had a plan for this, but now it is no longer needed, because of Sima Xin and Cao Jiu, he already has a better new plan.

Therefore, only when the Heguan is in the hands of the Sui State can the Sui State feel safe, and only in this way can the Sui State be less wary of the Great Qin through other means, so as to seek opportunities in the future so that the Sui State can be caught off guard.

Even these great passes in the world can't stop the Qin army, how can a mere Heguan stop the unification of Great Qin?

As for why Sima Xin didn't use flying pigeons to send letters, but the more troublesome and time-consuming flying ride?This is of course not that there are no carrier pigeons in Heguan City, but that Daqin has special means to intercept carrier pigeons.

However, at that time, Zhang Liang's remarks were very bold and controversial, but Ying Hao still chose to believe in Zhang Liang.

Yang Guang, king of the Sui Dynasty, also received the news that the Qin army suddenly sent troops to attack Yuzhong, and after half a day of fierce fighting between the two sides, the guard Dong Yi was killed by Yuwen Chengdu, and then Yuzhong City was also captured by the Qin army.

At that time, most people in Daqin opposed it. It was not that the ten counties in the eastern part of Wuwei County with a population of several 10 were not as valuable as Heguan, which had a population of more than [-], but that it could not be easily started.

In exchange for Heguan, the southern gate of Jincheng, in exchange for ten counties in the eastern part of Wuwei, which may be lost at any time, so as to improve the defense line of the Sui Kingdom?
Inside Sui Kingdom felt that although the deal was a loss, it was only a small loss, and it was still within the acceptable range.

Just as Zhang Liang expected, after Heguan fell into the hands of the Sui State, it only brought a little sense of security, and did not play much role in national defense. It has also become a poison that confuses and paralyzes the Sui State.

Is this because Great Qin is too arrogant and doesn't take Sui Kingdom seriously?
Or is Da Qin still hiding his strength, even if he singled out the four countries at the same time, he is still sure of winning?
Or do you want to take advantage of the Sui army's westward expedition?
Most people in the Sui Kingdom thought it was the latter, but it was actually the former two.

Although Li Mu and Hu Luguang were able to break through Heguan or Yuzhong, and Li Jing's strategy of letting the Sui army relax their guard against Daqin was the key, but their own strategy was also crucial.

Li Mu easily occupied the Heguan with a thousand riders, and since the news had not been revealed yet, he planned to use this to plan the next marching route.

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief."

On the day when Heguan was attacked, Sima Xin saw more than a dozen falcons circling in the sky, and knew that even if he sent out carrier pigeons, he would not be able to escape the capture of the Daqin Falcons, so he sent flying cavalry to report the news. .

It has to be said that Zhang Liang, with an IQ of 103, still has a very forward-looking and long-term vision. As early as two years ago, he had already planned for the destruction of the Sui Dynasty, and Li Jing's entire plan for this western expedition was based on Zhang Liang's cession of the river. Off extension.

Li Mu is very familiar with the terrain of the Heguan. Not only did he avoid the Sui army's sentries perfectly, but he also sent experts from the Black Ice Platform to climb over the mountain to bypass the Heguan, and set up an ambush on the only way for help to stop the Heguan Guan's information was sent back to Daxing.

At the same time, Daxing City, inside the Sui Palace.

It is conceivable that if the Sui Kingdom did not get the Heguan, it would definitely have no sense of security. Under the constant anxiety, it would definitely devote all its energy to defending against the Great Qin, and this would undoubtedly increase the difficulty of the Great Qin's westward expedition.

If he knew that Sima Xin was so greedy for life and afraid of death, that he surrendered to the Qin army so easily, regardless of the life and death of his parents, wife and children, Yang Guang would definitely kill his whole family to sacrifice the flag.

Although Hu Luguang took longer than Li Mu, Hu Yuzhong was a big city in Liangzhou, its defense was stronger than Heguan, and the defenders even reached [-]. It was obviously much more difficult to capture than Heguan.

Moreover, your Sui Kingdom is a defeated country, and the land cession and indemnity should be paid. What qualifications do you have to exchange land with me, Daqin?

In Cheng Gongying's view, Ying Hao raised this condition because he didn't want to change the nature of the negotiation. After all, if it wasn't a land exchange, the Sui Kingdom would be a land cession, and naturally it would be a defeated country.

Of course, whether it was confiscated or not, it has nothing to do with Sima Xin. He has already surrendered to the Qin army, and it would be more beneficial for him not to receive it. After all, his family is still in Daxing City as a hostage.

The Shu Han has the danger of Yangping Pass, but Hanzhong was not taken away by the Great Qin.

But Cheng Gongying didn't hesitate much about this, and agreed very decisively. After all, although Sui Guo lost face, the benefits were indeed in his hands.

And after two years of expansion and reinforcement, the defense of Heguan has also been greatly improved. Even in the face of a ten times the enemy's strong attack, it can last for ten days and a half months.

This is why Yang Guang later reduced the number of defenders at Heguan, because with this reaction time, it was enough for Daxing to send reinforcements to support.

After Li Mu thanked him in his heart, he decisively ordered the army to move out, while Sima Xin and Cao Jiu had already led the army to the fraudulent camp.

Heguan is just a small city. Although it occupies a favorable location, no matter how Yang Guang strengthens it, the defense power cannot reach the defense power of Tianxia Xiongguan.

As for the Heguan being in the hands of the Sui State, will it become an obstacle for the Great Qin to destroy the Sui?

Now Hu Luguang has broken through Yuzhong, but the secrecy measures are not as good as Li Mu's, but once Yuzhong is broken, there is no need to continue to keep it secret.

Yang Guang will soon learn that the Qin army has invaded and captured Yuzhong, but he still doesn't know that Heguan has also fallen. This gives Li Mu a lot of room for manipulation. In less than ten days, and it is possible to arrive in Daxing City ahead of Li Jing.

But Cheng Gongying didn't know that the king and ministers of the Qin Dynasty were already playing tricks on the Sui State here.

This is also the main reason why Li Jing specially sent a letter to tell Li Mu the news. He didn't want Li Mu to die under the military order he made because of overtime.

As long as the three mountains and five villages are in sight, there will be no obstacles for Li Mujun to reach Daxing City.

Li Mu issued a military order to Li Jing, he only had ten days, and now there are only nine days left, so naturally it is impossible to go on like this.

So, now Sima Xin wished that Li Mu would invade Daxing as soon as possible, so that his parents, wife and children could be rescued.

Zhang Liang didn't think so.

The fact that such an important place as Heguan can be handed over to Sima Xin to guard it shows Yang Guang's trust and importance to Sima Xin.

The two gates of Heguan and Yuzhong, which Yang Guang has been working hard and vigorously building, even failed to block the Qin army for three days. What qualifications do they have to be regarded by Daqin?

Yang Guang still doesn't know that Heguan has also fallen, so he is just a little panicked at this moment. If he knows, his mentality will explode.

"Da Qin fought without declaring, and invaded our Great Sui Kingdom for no reason. It's like a grassroots bandit. The prime minister immediately issued a document denouncing Da Qin's senseless behavior." Yang Guang said angrily.

Gao Jiong thought in his heart that this day finally came, but on the surface he accepted the order with a calm face: "No."
