Deng Ai in the other world, not to mention walking this road for several months, and because he had to climb over the extremely dangerous terrain of Motianling, the army he led barely bypassed the Jianmen Pass and arrived at Fu County, and nearly half of the men and horses had been lost.

The reason why someone told Ye Ming that this road could be walked was because most of the people who told him were mountain people, these people grew up in the mountains, and all the rugged trails were like walking on the ground, but for those who had not walked the mountain road, this was an extremely difficult road.

What's more, if you pass through the Yinping Ancient Road, you can achieve the kind of effect of Deng Ai, Li Xin gritted his teeth and waited for people to leave, the problem is that the Pingnan army has plenty of troops, they can defend Sword Pavilion and Jincheng at the same time, Li Shen is not the Adou who surrendered the city, even if Li Xin goes through a lot of hardships and touches the city of Jincheng, he may not be able to take Jincheng.

As soon as he thought of this, before he could say anything, Ye Ming on the other side spoke.

"Even if Li Shen defends Jianmen Pass, he still has the strength to estimate Jincheng, Chang'an, even if you pass through here, it is estimated that there is no way to succeed, what Brother Wei means is that when you cross this road and reach the vicinity of Fu County, you will begin to pretend to be the main force to interfere with Li Shen's sight, and when the time comes, as long as the Pingnan Army of Jianmen Pass retreats, Brother Wei will have a chance to take Jianmen Pass."

"As soon as the Jianmen Pass is broken, there will be no obstacle to Jincheng, and with the foundation of the Pingnan Army, it will support a year and a half at most, and the situation in the southwest will basically be settled at that time."

The Marquis of Jing'an secretly scolded his mother in his heart.

It turned out that I didn't want to be Deng Ai, but I wanted to be a target!

However, Ye Ming's proposal is still very pertinent, with the difficulty of Jianmen Pass, Ye Ming must leave at least more than 100,000 people, that is to say, the people who give Li Xin are at most forty or fifty thousand people, and he will have to pass through the long Yinping Ancient Road, even if Li Xin crosses the Yinping Ancient Road to Jincheng City, it is unlikely that he will be able to enter Jincheng, but as long as he can attract the defenders of Jianmen Pass and give Ye Ming the opportunity to take Jianmen Pass, this matter will be completed.

It's just that Ye Ming didn't expect one thing, that is, Li Xin was in the Sword Gate Pass, and there was still a small force.

Li Xin lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, and then spoke: "Senior brother, when are you going to start this plan?" ”

"There's no rush right now."

Ye Ming sighed slowly, and said: "It's the middle of summer as soon as it comes, according to what those mountain people said, there are no people in the mountains in this season, and it is basically impossible to pass through this place. ”

"During this period of time, I will write to Your Majesty again for the brotherhood, and Your Majesty is anxious, so he should not refuse."

Li Xin blinked his eyes and said, "Senior brother wants to go to the Sword Gate Gate, I'm afraid it's not enough." ”

"It should be enough."

Ye Ming said slowly: "At that time, Chang'an, you will still take those three Zhichong Mansions to try to enter Shu from Yinping, and there are five Zhichong Mansions on my brother's side, plus 20,000 Jingzhou soldiers, and this time my brother is the chief of the marching army, you can recruit soldiers on the spot, as long as the imperial court has always supported us to conquer the southwest, it will be enough no matter what." ”

This is the domineering of being a general in this era.

The army of this era, in addition to the elite of the forbidden army and the Pingnan army, is generally not a standing army, and some people of appropriate age will be forcibly caught in the barracks to be the head soldier when they reach their age, and they will be pulled to the battlefield with a knife, and they are not even able to form a formation, and the overall combat effectiveness is very limited.

However, miscellaneous soldiers also have the advantage of miscellaneous soldiers, that is, for generals, the lives of these miscellaneous soldiers are not valuable, even if their death can make a little space for the elite, the main general will not hesitate to sacrifice them.

Frankly, cannon fodder.

Of course, among these cannon fodder, there will also be a group of people who have survived, and because of their military exploits, they have successfully entered the elite.

This is what Ye Ming meant by conscription, as long as the resources in the rear of the imperial court continued, he could always recruit troops on the spot, grinding the Pingnan army to death and dragging them to death at Jianmen Pass.

Li Xin hesitated for a long time, and finally slowly lowered his head.

"Senior Brother Ye thinks this plan is very sure?"

Ye Shaobao shook his head: "Because no one could lead troops through this mountain road before, so what kind of situation is it is not clear now, this kind of dangerous thing should not be let Chang'an you do it personally, let a commander take it, but the surprise attack on Jincheng, if it succeeds, it is a splashing credit, and this credit belongs to Chang'an." ”

Speaking of this, Ye Ming said in a low voice: "Of course, if you don't want to go to Chang'an, it is understandable to be a brother, after all, you have just gotten married and have no heirs." ”

Li Xin glanced at Ye Ming silently.

"Senior brother means, if I don't want to go, let Ye Mao go?"

Ye Shaobao nodded and said: "Whether you go to Chang'an or not, Mao'er is going to go, if you go to Chang'an, you can also take care of him, if he goes alone, can he take these three folds and let go of them, he may not even be able to successfully pass through." ”

To put it bluntly, let yourself bring that fat nephew with you.

Li Xin lowered his head and thought for a long time, but finally nodded and agreed with Ye Ming's statement.

He is not from a war background, and he cannot be regarded as a complete military general, so for these marches and wars, Li Xin only learned some laymen from Ye Sheng, but the Marquis of Jing'an has one thing that is particularly good, that is, he never messes around, and he has to listen to the professional if he should listen to the professional.

When it comes to fighting, Ye Ming, who has been immersed in the military for most of his life, really hasn't been afraid of anyone, so Li Xin chooses to believe this senior brother.

Anyway, he didn't want to do that.

The two of them discussed in the study for a whole night, and it was not until the next day when the rooster crowed that Li Xin got up lazily from his chair and stretched his waist.

"Senior brother, I'll get here here today, my little brother can't stand it anymore."

"When the senior brother is about to do it, he is informing Li Xin, and Li Xin has an unshirkable responsibility."

Ye Ming was quite emotional, and said to Ye Mao, who was waiting outside: "Don't peek, I've been so sneaky all my life, won't I see what I want to see openly?" ”

"Chang'an, he didn't sleep all night last night, you send one for your father."

Ye Mao in the capital can be regarded as a little overlord in Kyoto, and the bad things in the capital have not left him behind, even his grandfather Ye Sheng sometimes can't control him, but in front of his old father Ye Ming, Ye Mao is like a wilted chicken, and he doesn't dare to breathe.

He suspiciously sent Li Xin out of the door.

"Uncle Li, what did my father tell you?"

Li Xin shook his head and glanced at Ye Mao.

"Your father, he said you were ......"
