But in order to take the second step well, everyone would rather wait a little longer.

"After we take Xiaoguan, the northwest departments enter the pass, they can suppress the right Fufeng, and the hussar general can oppress Lantian, the two armies form a diagonal, in fact, the west and south sides of Chang'an are already our offensive category, and the corresponding Yu Wenxian took Tongguan and Pusaka, and also occupied the position of attacking Chang'an from the north and east." Yang Su said thoughtfully, "Now that the three directions of east, west and south have actually been determined, the key is in the north. ”

"You mean snatching Kabasaka?" Li Xinchen raised his eyebrows.

Once the Han army was able to take Pusaka, it would mean that Yu Wenxian's road from Hebei to Guanzhong was blocked again, and it occupied the lead in attacking Chang'an from the northwest. At the same time, it also means that the entire north side of Chang'an will be exposed to Li Xinchen's troops, and only Tongguan due east is left for Yu Wenxian.

"That's right, after taking Xiao Pass, we will go straight to Pusaka." Yang Su said in a deep voice, "But after taking Pusaka, we can't completely block the roads in the north, and with the total number of troops in the northwest and Hanzhong now, it should be difficult to do this." ”

Li Xinchen bowed slightly, the original plan was to lead the northwest army into Xiao Pass, so that he could achieve an absolute advantage over Li Yan. However, if the troops are divided to attack Pusaka, the entire front will be forced to lengthen again, and it means that the original strength advantage will not be so obvious, and the Han army will still fight against Yang Jian's main force concentrated on the long defensive line, which is definitely a taboo for soldiers.

The offensive and defensive battle in Guanzhong, which is now in full swing, has undoubtedly proved this point. In order to guard the important places in the pass, Yang Jian had to scatter his troops, and the consequence of this was naturally that it was difficult to concentrate his forces at all, and he could only be broken by each one. But as Yang Jian gradually shrinks the defensive line, there will be more and more soldiers and horses in his hands, and the situation of being broken by each one is likely to be reversed at that time.

"We only need Kasaka, and we still empty the roads in the north." Li Xinchen said in a deep voice, "Circumference three is missing one, give Yang Jian a chance to escape." ”

"But that means we have to go it alone." Jiang Yuanxun, an old general standing next to him, couldn't help but speak, "And how many soldiers and horses to send and how much food to carry is not a simple question in itself." ”

"What the old general said is very true." Shi Tangzhong, the new governor of Taiwei Mansion, also chimed in. Tang Zhong is the eldest son of the Tang clan in Kaixian County, and he is also the leader of the Tang clan in Xiajiang and even in the Bashu family, Li Xinchen promoted him to the position of the governor of the Taiwei Mansion, one is naturally to prevent Yang Su from being too popular and becoming the target of the public, and the other is also to balance the power in the Taiwei Mansion, so as not to have opinions on the military side of the Bashu family being completely monopolized by the two factions in Jiangnan and the north.

Yang Su's ideas have always been imaginative, in fact, they are somewhat similar to Li Xinchen at the beginning, but Li Xinchen also found a problem, that is, Yang Su has always done everything to achieve his goals, and this means that he often needs to use dangerous tactics, this time he proposed to go deep into Pusaka with a lone army and seize this strategic location, even if the food can't keep up, it is actually not impossible.

There are many ways to raise food for large armies, and it is often even more important to get food on the spot than to transport it over long distances. At the beginning, Zhuge Liang came out of Qishan, and the reason why he chose Qishan instead of going straight to Guanzhong was because he took a fancy to the grain in Tianshui and other northwest counties.

Especially if the Han army enters Xiaoguan and kills directly to Pusaka, it is exactly June and July, and the grain in Guanzhong is also harvested, and even if it is taken locally, it can support the army. What's more, as long as Yang Jian is not determined to cut off the grain channel, will the grain really not be able to be transported at all?

Li Xinchen rubbed his chin lightly, to be honest, from his personal point of view, Yang Su's strategy is certainly feasible, because this is Li Xinchen's own style of marching and fighting. But······

Jiang Yuanxun seemed to see Li Xinchen's hesitation, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there is almost no suspense in the battle of Guanzhong to this point, is it still necessary to take dangerous moves, if we fail what kind of losses we have to bear, the old minister thinks that it is the most important thing to think about, and there should be no need to take this risk for the Han." ”

Li Xinchen bowed slightly, as the king of a country, he is no longer the original commander of the lone army, everything naturally cannot be ignored as always, how to win steadily is what Li Xinchen should pay attention to. Although taking Pusaka can seize the strategic points in the northwest first, will it directly face the conflict with Yu Wenxian, and will it cause the army that goes deep into Pusaka to become a lone army, and if this army is trapped, how to rescue?

Would Yang Jian really watch Li Xinchen directly send such an army to Pusaka? You must know that Pusaka can be said to be the only fortress that Yang Jian can still control now.

Yu Wenxian, won't Yu Wenxian pay attention to Pusaka after taking Tongguan? Once he takes Pusaka, he will be able to attack Puzhou on both sides and completely solve this nail that Yang Jian planted on the north bank of the Dahe River and the south side of Jinyang.

At that time, the three parties may fight in Pusaka, and it is very likely to trigger a conflict between Li Xinchen and Yu Wenxian in advance.

"Don't move Pusaka first, if Xiao Shilian and Han Baohu can judge that Pusaka can take it, then it's not too late for us to make a decision." Li Xinchen said decisively. Coming to this position, he also has to admit that in many cases, the things he needs to think about are far more than just tactical, but also at the entire strategic level.

Tactically this is a great strategy, but not necessarily strategically.

Yang Su didn't look very disappointed, when Jiang Yuanxun, who represented the Jiangnan faction, and Tang Zhong, who represented the Bashu faction, both disagreed, he didn't really want to stick to his decision. After all, the strength of the northern family in the Han court is still weak, and Yang Su, as the leader of this, the most important thing is to keep Taoguang and wait for the opportunity, he also knows that he can't blatantly contradict Jiang Yuanxun and them, which will only exchange for the two factions of Jiangnan and Bashu to jointly suppress the northern family.

This is what Yang Su doesn't want to see, and it's what their weak body can't resist now.

"The top priority is to rectify the various departments in Guanzhong, and then it is conceivable that we will fight resolutely around Chang'an and Yang, and then there will be a battle with Yu Wenxian." Li Xinchen changed the topic, he didn't want to and didn't need to deepen the estrangement between several factions at this time, now was the time for everyone to work together.
