In Hanzhong, Wei Gao, the commander of the Northern Expedition, also got the news that the Chang'an garrison was going east to Tongzhou, but he was not excited, but a little confused, wasn't Zhu Zhu's army afraid that the Southern Tang army would take the opportunity to enter Guanzhong and seize Chang'an?

This is really a bit unreasonable, he doesn't believe that 50,000 troops gathered in Hanzhong, and the Son of Heaven appointed himself as the generalissimo of the Northern Expedition in Chengdu, such a big motive, Zhu Jun would not know?

It is unreasonable to know that there is a tiger in ambush in the south, but to empty the nest.

In the big tent, Wei Gao was discussing with Deputy Marshal Li Yuanliang, who was also a veteran, and he agreed with Wei Gao's doubts.

"Wei Shuai is right, if the enemy army leaves 5,000 troops to guard Chang'an, this is reasonable, but Zhu Jinqing takes all the troops away, isn't he afraid that Guo Song will send a cavalry to occupy Chang'an in a roundabout way?

Wei Gao took a few steps and said: "But there is also a possibility, Zhu Jinqing made a mistake, we all know that he is a simple-minded, brave and unscrupulous person, if he makes this mistake, it is normal, in fact, Liu Sigu is in Guanzhong, he will definitely not make this unreasonable move, even if he lures us to Chang'an, he will leave three thousand troops to guard Chang'an, instead of withdrawing all, but let us doubt." ”

Li Yuanliang hesitated and said: "Wei Shuai means that this kind of unreasonable will be true." ”

Wei Gao nodded, "If the enemy army is deliberately tempting the enemy, it will definitely not leave this flaw for us to doubt." ”

Li Yuanliang was also puzzled, Wei Gao was also reasonable, such an obvious lure to the enemy was really not done by a strategist.

Wei Gao and Li Yuanliang both made the same directional mistake, they didn't expect that Chang'an's arrangement was not aimed at them, but at Li Shi, the son of heaven, if 5,000 to 10,000 troops were left to guard Chang'an, Li Shi would hesitate instead, and he had to put a big bargain in front of Li Shi, so that Li Shi was eager to pay, otherwise the seller would wake up or be bought by others first, and this bargain would not be available.

At this time, the soldiers reported outside the tent: "Tian Jian Jun is here!" ”

Li Zheng would not let Wei Gao lead the army alone, and he had to set up a supervising army, so Song Chaofeng recommended Tian Wenxiu as a supervising army.

Without waiting for Wei Gao to speak, Tian Wenxiu walked quickly away from the big tent with more than a dozen henchmen, and he broke in directly.

Tian Wenxiu has already been whitewashed, and now all the evidence of him and the Yuan family has been destroyed, and the insider has also been killed, Tian Wenxiu hugged Song Chaofeng's thigh and became Song Chaofeng's henchman, under Song Chaofeng's repeated indoctrination, Li Shi, the son of heaven, finally recognized the report written by Tian Wenxiu when he was a prisoner in Hexi, Guo Song does have the heart of self-reliance, isn't it proved now?

Tian Wenxiu regained Li Shi's trust and served as the supervisor of the Jiannan Army, Tian Wenxiu had been the supervisor of the Jiannan Army for two years, and this time the 30,000 Jiannan Army was ordered to be transferred to Hanzhong, and Tian Wenxiu also followed and served as the commander of the entire Northern Expeditionary Army.

Tian Xiuwen is no longer the young eunuch who served as the supervisor for the first time, he now has the trust of the Son of Heaven, the backstage of Song Chaofeng, and the experience of serving as a supervisor for many times, he is already very sophisticated, knows how to do things, watch more and talk less, if he must participate, then he must get enough power to ensure the authority of the prison army.

Wei Gao was also really a little afraid of this prison army, Tian Wenxiu curled up beside him like a snake, didn't say anything, and looked at everything coldly, which made Wei Gao feel a kind of uneasiness in his heart that he couldn't understand the details of the other party, this uneasiness accumulated day by day, and after two years of accumulation, it formed an inexplicable fear.

Wei Gao smiled, "It's rare to see the prison army in the big tent of the Chinese army!" ”

Tian Xiuwen asked lightly: "The two marshals are discussing the plan of going north to Guanzhong?" ”

"What does Tian Jianjun have any suggestions?"

"Our family has no suggestion, let's urge Wei Shuai to send troops and seize Guanzhong on the order of the Son of Heaven, Wei Shuai will not receive an edict from the Son of Heaven!"

"This ....."

Wei Gao glanced at the table, and the edict of the Son of Heaven was placed on the table, so he had to reluctantly say: "This marshal is discussing the plan for the march with Vice Marshal Li." ”

"Then when can we decide, can we send troops between dawn?" Tian Wenxiu asked aggressively.

Li Yuanliang couldn't help but say: "We feel that there is something strange about the other party, and we are worried that this is a trap, so we don't dare to send troops easily." ”

Tian Wenxiu nodded, and said secretly in his heart, "It seems that the Son of Heaven is not wrong, these two people did not take the Son of Heaven's edict in their eyes at all, so the Son of Heaven gave himself the Son of Heaven's gold medal monk Fang Sword." ’

Tian Wenxiu said unhurriedly: "Since Wei Shuai has received an edict from the Son of Heaven, he should immediately send troops, as for what traps the other party has, it can be avoided in the dispatch plan, and it cannot be used as an excuse to disobey the holy will." ”

"Tian Jian Jun, I must be responsible for the safety of 50,000 soldiers!"

"Marshal Wei!"

Tian Wenxiu shouted sharply: "Please be cautious, the army is the army of the Son of Heaven, not the army of your Wei family, if you disobey the order, this prison army has the right to kill you!" ”

He turned around and shouted, "The order of the Son of Heaven!" ”

The eunuch behind him stepped forward, and in the tray was a gold medal and a Shang Fang sword, Tian Wenxiu raised the gold medal and said: "The gold medal of the Son of Heaven is here, Wei Gao still kneels?" ”

The gold medal of the Son of Heaven is engraved with the words 'If you see my face', when you see the gold medal, if you see the Son of Heaven himself, Wei Gao and Li Yuanliang had no choice but to kneel.

Tian Wenxiu picked up the sword of Shang Fang Tianzi and said slowly: "This is Shang Fang Tianzi sword, specializing in killing Wenchen disloyalty, military generals are not ministers, this prison army is ordered by the Son of Heaven to urge the army to march north, and specially ordered Marshal Wei Gao to march north before dawn to send troops to Chang'an, if it disobeys the holy will, this prison army will be killed with Shang Fang Tianzi sword." ”

Wei Gao was so helpless that he had to agree: "Weichen obeys the order of the Son of Heaven!" ”

........

At the fifth watch, Wei Gao ordered Shi Guoyao, the governor of Hanzhong Jiedu, to lead 8,000 troops to garrison Hanzhong, and he and Li Yuanliang led more than 40,000 troops to leave the Hanzhong camp and march towards Chang'an.

Yangquan Town, Tongzhou, is eighty miles away from Tongzhou Road, which is the only way for the northern army to go south to Tongzhou and kill Chang'an, and Zhu Jinqing's 30,000 troops set up camp here.

The Great Tent consisted of hundreds of large tents, surrounded by barracks, and sentries watched from the watchtowers.

At night, under the cover of night, 30,000 troops quietly left the camp under the leadership of the main general Zhu Jinqing, marched quickly in the direction of Chang'an, and soon disappeared into the night.

The battalion was still there, and the sentinels were still patrolling, but there were only 1,000 people active in the battalion, maintaining the illusion that 30,000 troops were stationed in the same state.

The 30,000 troops did not return according to the same route, they marched day and night, and two days later, the army arrived at the Wei River north of Guangtongcang, at this time, the Wei River was full of boats, which were arranged in advance, and they came from Chang'an, where they received 30,000 troops to cross the river.

The troops continued to board the boats, and the large ships loaded with soldiers sailed towards the other side of the Wei River.

On the shore, Deputy General Zhang Xiaolong whispered to Zhu Jinqing: "If the other party has cavalry, it is likely to arrive in Chang'an before us, and it is recommended that it is better to send cavalry to Chang'an first." ”

Zhu Jinqing shook his head and said: "Father's order is very clear, requiring us to completely obey the orders of the military division, how could the military division not think of the enemy's cavalry problem, he must have a countermeasure, we should not act without authorization, as long as we march according to the deployment of the military division." ”

"But ......"

As soon as Zhang Xiaolong said two words, Zhu Jinqing turned around and stared at him sternly, "There is nothing, I am the main general, I obey the arrangement of the military advisor, you obey my orders, you are not allowed to think nonsense, you dare to act without authorization, if you break a big thing, I will not spare it!." ”

Zhang Xiaolong didn't dare to say anything, Zhu Jinqing snorted heavily, and urged the horse to run towards the Wei River.

Zhang Xiaolong looked at his back and walked away, and couldn't help but sigh lowly, although Zhu Jinqing was simple-minded, he was very obedient, and even he had to strictly follow Liu Sigu's orders, this time the Tang army was more than lucky.

Why is the Son of Heaven so impatient, he still has to jump into it even though it is a trap, is it really as rumored in the government and the opposition, and he has become more and more mediocre after the reset?

Zhang Xiaolong's original intention was that a cavalry appeared in Chang'an, so that Chang'an's intelligence spies could wake up and immediately send a message to the Southern Tang Army to be cautious, but Zhu Jinqing was not fooled and insisted on abiding by the arrangement of the military adviser Liu Sigu.

Zhang Xiaolong is not a spy placed in the Zhu army in the Southern Tang Dynasty, he is just more inclined to the Tang Dynasty, loyal to the Northern Tang Dynasty Emperor Li Wei, after Li was abolished, Zhu Zhu ascended the throne, Zhang Xiaolong had the idea of going, he wanted to go to Chengdu, but he was afraid that the son of heaven Li Shi would not believe in himself and wanted to throw himself into Taiyuan, but he had no chance, and his 5,000 troops could not be taken away.

Just when he was in a dilemma, Liu Sigu suddenly sent an order from Lantian Pass, asking Chang'an's 30,000 troops to feign withdrawal from Chang'an, making the illusion of going to Tongzhou to meet the Jin army, and luring the Southern Tang army to the north.

Judging by the results so far, it seems that the strategy has succeeded.

Zhang Xiaolong hesitated for a moment, then recruited a confidant soldier, whispered a few words to him, the soldier nodded, quietly left the team, and galloped away in the direction of Chang'an on horseback.

An army of 30,000 crossed the Wei River and continued its march southwest........
