Chapter 875: Everything is ready
"What the internal history says is extremely true, the rebels are building the plank road, I am afraid that they are deliberately tempting me, but in fact, there are other plans......"
As soon as Nei Shibao's voice fell, Li Si's son Li Yu got his father's eyes, and immediately went out, although their family did not know what the real main direction of the Northern Expeditionary Army was, but they also guessed that the plank road was probably a false shot.
Now that Nei Shibao has seen through the strategy of the Northern Expeditionary Army, the Li family simply muddied the waters, so Li Yu presented an urgent report:
"The lieutenant of Longxi County sent someone to report that a group of 10,000 rebels had gone west out of Nanzheng, marched westward along the upper reaches of the Han River, advancing by land and water, and was attacking Xiabian County (Chengxian County, Gansu) in Longxi County. He is afraid that he sees that Guanzhong is well defended, so if he wants to capture Longxi in one fell swoop, he still has to quickly send the lieutenant army over to help! Next, the Qishan Road will be taken, and the military front will be directed at Xixian! ”
"Xixian!?"
Now Hu Hai is a little unable to sit still, although he does not learn and has no skills, but he also knows that Xixian is the west of the city, which is the origin of the Qin Gong clan, and there is still a palace in the west there, and there is a temple of Qin Xianggong, and people have to be arranged to go back to worship every year.
"How can you teach the rebels to insult the temple of my ancestors, and quickly send people to support!"
"Your Majesty."
Nei Shibao spoke again: "The minister thinks that there is no need to send troops to Longxi. ”
Li Yudao: "Why did the internal history say this? If you lose Longyou, Guanzhong is also restless, for example, there is a tiger on the side couch, not to mention that there are temples of ancestors in the West Palace and West Dog Hill, how can you abandon it? ”
Nei Shi Bao said with a smile: "Li Yushi thinks too seriously, I was a county lieutenant in Longxi, and I know that the Qishan Road is false and real, although this road is flat and there are rivers, but the surrounding areas are all Rong Di Di Qiang, it is extremely difficult to walk, Cao Yun is not passable, even if it is transported by donkeys and horses, the loss along the way is as high as four-fifths, the rebels at most send thousands of people to take down the defense, there is the county lieutenant Yao Yin, the Longxi county soldiers are enough to resist the enemy, blocked outside the Qi Mountain, and the thieves will not be able to reach the West County." ”
"So I thought that on the other side of Qishan Road, there were also rebel suspects, so you don't have to pay attention to it."
Take 10,000 steps back, Longxi is far away from Guanzhong, and there is Longban apart, the army is difficult to cross, and the thieves take Longxi, and there is no way to directly enter Guanzhong, and at present, in the Hanzhong Provinces, the threat to Guanzhong is greater, but there is more than one......
"The rebels have always been cunning and like to use the art of fiction and reality, in my opinion, Qishan and Baoxian are just trying to mobilize our army. The real offensive direction of the rebels is only these two! The old way, the eclipse! ”
Hu Hai asked again: "Where is the north entrance of the old road?" ”
"Disperse."
"How far is it from Xianyang?"
Zhao Gao said: "Three hundred miles." ”
Hu Hai asked again: "What about the north entrance in the eclipse?" ”
"It is in the south of Du County (Qujiang Township, Yanta District, Xi'an City), which is less than 100 miles away from Xianyang."
"No...... Less than a hundred miles? Can you get to Zhangtai Palace in two days? ”
Hu Hai's face changed suddenly, after learning about this situation, he probably couldn't sleep at night, and he didn't care how Nei Shibao described the old road and the eclipse of the terrain.
"Do you need to talk about that?"
The wise and martial Emperor II slapped his thigh: "The lieutenant army is divided into two, 20,000 guards the Meridian Pass, and 10,000 guards the Scattered Pass!" ”
……
When the monarchs and ministers of Xianyang were discussing the strategy of defending against the enemy, Han Xin, the general of the Northern Expeditionary Army, was now at the south entrance of the old road: Fu County, Hanzhong County (Luoyang County, Shaanxi).
Fu County is a small town in the mountains, and the terrain here is too unfriendly to Han Xin, a young man from Huainan Water Town:
The circumference of the county seat is more than 500 steps, only the northwest gate is opened, and there is a warehouse outside, like a simple military fortress, surrounded by mountains, in Han Xin's view, the surrounding circle seems to be a towering wall with no gaps, which makes him breathless.
Although it has been several months since he entered Hanzhong, Han Xin still felt depressed, and couldn't help but secretly say: "Such a poor and remote place, which can't even garrison 10,000 people, has now become the hub of the Hanzhong Northern Expeditionary Army to launch the battle to enter the customs. ”
Just because, Fu County is the confluence of the Western Han River and the Jialing River.
The West Han River is the source of the Han River, along the river, along the river, there is a relatively wide channel, which can go straight from Hanzhong to Longxi, which is the Qishan Ancient Road. The south wall of the corridor is the South Qinling Mountains and the Minshan Mountains, and the north wall is the North Qinling Mountains. After the Qi Mountain, it is equivalent to going out of the mountainous area, and the road is open to Xixian County, the birthplace of the Qin people.
Previously, Lu Jia assessed the three roads into Hanzhong, because Lao Lu was not familiar with the Qishan Road in the remote land of Qiqiang, but he skipped it, and thanks to the Du Wei from Shu Land, Han Xin noticed it.
So Han Xin added the strange soldiers of Longxi in addition to the "Ming cutting plank road, disturbing the meridian, and darkening Chencang" proposed by Heifu, so that the Shu soldiers could attack and defend and make Qishan attack Xixian County.
But as Nei Shibao said, although the Qishan Road looks flat and there are rivers, they are all illusions. The topography of this area is quite complex, with the transition to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the west, the Loess Plateau in the north, and the Sichuan Basin in the south.
The so-called passage is simply a series of basins, valleys, valleys and hills with relatively low altitudes. This kind of terrain is barely enough for marching, but it is a complete nightmare for transporting heavy grain and grass. Not only is the road far away, but there are many forests to obstruct it, and it is impossible for the army to pass through the activities of Diqiang - think about it, if it is really so easy to walk, the ancestors of the Qin people may not have sacrificed several generations to try to expand eastward, and go south to Hanzhong to develop.
Therefore, Han Xin's real march road is still the old road, that is, Chencang Road, where there is Jialing Valley, which is the birthplace of the Jialing River.
In other words, if there were enough ships and slender men, the materials in Shuzhong could be transported directly from the Jialing River to Fuxian County without going around Hanzhong to help the Northern Expedition.
In this era, the four regions of Bashu, Hanzhong, Qishan and Longxi were completely connected, and the logistics were extremely smooth, so the road could also be marched.
What Han Xin didn't know was that more than 20 years later, a major earthquake would hit Fuxian County, completely changing the direction of the rivers here, blocking the Western Han River and the Han River, taking it by the Jialing River, and the old road was almost destroyed, making it difficult to march.
This has to be said to be Han Xin's luck, although he didn't know about it, he only looked at the military order sent by the Marquis of Wuzhong from Wuguan, which stated the attack time of the two armies of Wuguan and Hanzhong......
"June 15......"
Also, the puppet emperor guarded the Meridian Pass with 20,000 soldiers, and only guarded the confidential information of the Scattered Pass with 10,000 soldiers......
Han Xin closed the letter, his eyes were blazing, as if he could see through the layers of Nanshan Qinling, and saw the land and sea of Guanzhong, the great city of Xiongdu, which he had never been to before!
"Go and tell Wu Chen of the Eclipse Middle Dao, let's start!"
……
On the 10th day of the first month of June, at the base camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army, twenty miles outside Wuguan, Dongmen Leopard was asking Heifu for battle again.
"Pavilion Chief!"
The Dongmen Violent Tiger has been enduring it for a month: "Wancheng has been ordered to prepare 200,000 iron cluster arrows. ”
"The last batch of grain in Nanjun has been sent to the camp by the servant in a wooden ox and a horse."
"Han Xin of Hanzhong County is also ready to secretly cross Chen Cang."
"Luyang Pass, Yexian County, and Fangcheng have been fortified, and the bandits of the Six Nations will never dare to step into Nanyang for half a step!"
"Even the instruments made by the Ink Artist have been prepared and placed outside the city."
"Everything is ready, we must take advantage of the morale of the soldiers, and take the Wuguan in one go, once we don't attack for a long time, I am afraid that the old man will be weak, and then the puppet emperor will send more people to guard the pass, I am afraid it will be more difficult to capture the ......"
These days, Heifu has only asked Dongmen Leopard to lead people to test a few times, but they have all tasted it superficially, which makes Ah Leopard very unpleasant.
"yes, it's all ready...... Only the east wind is owed. ”
Heifu was unmoved, frowning, still staring at the military reports from all over the country, 100,000 troops, and 150,000 servants in the rear hundreds of miles to transport heavy grain and straw, a thousand things, but not easy to manage.
He didn't have the slightest idea of rushing to attack, so he tried and waited unhurriedly until two days later, when he waited for news.
"Junhou, Xu Fu has arrived in Danyang!"
Slapping the book in his hand, Heifu stood up and laughed:
"My 'east wind' has arrived!"
……
