There are countless dangerous crossings in the world, and even many of them are not known for their grandeur, but they have also left a strong mark in history because of one or two wars that can determine the general trend.

However, if it is said that the significance of determining the general trend can be achieved by relying on the barrier itself, there are really not many. Xiao Yuandong is still unclear about the details of the situation in this situation, but he can also hear that if Xie Yi's series of plans about Tongguan can be realized, then its significance is really immeasurable.

Therefore, when talking about this grand plan, many generals in the account, including Xie Yi, were full of excitement. Who wouldn't want to associate their name with a majestic fortress that can support the general trend and frame the world?

So when the meeting ended and the generals withdrew, and there were only two people left in the room, Xiao Yuandong frowned, and said after considering the wording: "Wuyi, there is no need to cover up between you and me, it seems that I have praised my achievements before, and it is just for fun in front of a group of bad friends." If you have any grievances because of this, we can all shut our doors......"

"Oh? Yuandong, do you think that I feel difficult because of my lack of merit, so I reluctantly make this grand plan? ”

Xie Yi said with a smile after hearing this.

"Isn't it? I really don't know what the two sides of Rossi are. But as you said, going through the Tongguan Pass is by no means a short effort. I don't believe that you don't know what the Metropolitan Governor is suffering from right now, our old Zhaowu people have followed each other to this day, and they are involved in each other's bone marrow, and they share glory and humiliation...... Alas, I won't hide it from you, the reason why the new army was formed this year is to make preparations for crossing the river one day! ”

Xiao Yuandong moved to the side when he said this, looked directly at Xie Yi and said: "I can also hear that you have a grand plan, the king of Qin built Zheng Qu, although he has ten thousand merits, but he is set in Jiangdong and seizes the day." If you really want to be stubborn here, I won't speak up to help you......"

When Xie Yi heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened, he clamped Xiao Yuandong's neck, knocked on his head and said angrily: "It turns out that you treat me as a fool who likes to make false achievements, and you want to rely on such a plan to compete with you and others?" I'll talk to you one more time, lest you call yourself a wise man because of that foolishness! ”

As he spoke, Xie Yi couldn't help but sigh and talk about the real predicament he was facing. Although there was no strong enemy in the Luoxi War, it was even more difficult to clean up because of the erosion of the situation for a long time, and the strong beam thieves were rampant in the mountains and wilderness like a chaotic bee, and they did not obey discipline at all.

Although there are eight passes around Heluo, these passes are only effective against the armed forces that have been formed. The terrain is overly complex like a beehive full of holes, and for those small bandits in this realm, there is simply no way to defend them, and they are allowed to enter and exit.

"The people in this realm are fierce, far from being benevolent and righteous. Even if it is temporarily annexed, the decree will be slightly centrifugated, and most of it will immediately collapse. What's more, there are still a group of fierce people on the flanks, and rumors confuse the public, making it even more difficult to attach favors. Although the king master has a magic sword hanging high, does he really want to slaughter the people? ”

When it comes to the erosion of the situation, the surrounding area of Heluo is even more serious than that of Hebei, the ruling heart of the country. Because although Hebei is under the strict control of the state, at least it can ensure that an authority is not lost, and no matter how strong the people are, they still have to subconsciously obey the power. Even if the power itself has changed, a new order can be established very quickly.

But Heluo is different, it can be said that since the Eight Kings Rebellion, the people have lived in an environment without authority, and it is not easy to bring them into the order again!

Therefore, the biggest problem in Heluo's current situation is not the threat from Guanzhong, Guanzhong seems to be boiling, but in fact it is chaotic and disorderly, even the peach leopard sat in Heluo before, and it can block the thieves in Guanzhong from going east. Now that Wang Shi is here, his strength is several times stronger than that of the peach leopard, and those forces in Guanzhong are not going to send troops, and once they send troops, they are killing themselves!

Heluo's own operation is enough to explain the current predicament. Since the end of the war last year, the reclaimed territories have begun to organize and rebuild, but only Heluo has made the slowest progress.

Once the food and farming tools were distributed, the people fled in droves, and the more they killed, the more they fled. Therefore, at present, for these people, they only dare to use them as hard labor under heavy prison, and they dare not distribute any resources at all.

Even if there is some cultivated land, most of them are operated by unarmored soldiers who have previously been awarded land for meritorious service. And when the harvest comes, the people who wander in the countryside rush out like locusts, which is very disturbing.

The folk customs of Heluo Land are different from those in the surrounding places, that is, there is no powerful country tycoon who can convince the public, and even if there are some dock walls, they are mostly maintained under the incursion of the chaotic people. In many places, as long as the local township elders and wealthy clans can be controlled, they will not be too chaotic in general, but this point has no effect at all around Heluo.

Especially in the middle of the sky, even if the local bandits are killed, it will not be long before the chaos people in Hedong, Hongnong, Shangluo and even Guanzhong will flock in. Ants kill elephants, this is the real dilemma that Heluo faces.

If Wang Shi just used Heluo as a springboard to enter Guanzhong and Hebei, these nostalgic troubles could be ignored for the time being, and the army concentrated on guarding the fortress, and those chaotic people did not dare to come to intrude without knowing whether they were alive or dead. However, in order to operate as the next place of foundation, we have to face these problems.

Xiao Yuandong was worried, how could Xie Yi not know that as the confrontation between the Jiangdong Center and the Jiangbei Wang Division became more and more severe, conflicts could break out at any time. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the Metropolitan Governor to devote a large amount of manpower and material resources to this situation, and it is necessary to obtain a relatively stable situation in the shortest possible time.

"Seeking to build Tongguan can at least have three effects. One is to stabilize the morale of our army, the second is to shock the small in the realm, and the third is to seduce the Guanzhong army. But whether to build or not, or when to build, is it up to me to decide? ”

At least so far, Xie Yi's department has been blocked under the plateau, and he has not even seen the face of Tongguan, even if there is such a plan, it cannot be implemented immediately.

Therefore, this plan is currently only a conceptual strategic weapon, as Xie Yi said, to give Luoxi Wang Shi an accurate strategic goal, instead of falling into an embarrassing confusion of advancing and not being able to advance, and retreating and not being able to retreat.

At the same time, it deters those wandering bandits in the realm, once there is no external military intrusion, the next step of Wang Shi will definitely be to vigorously purge the realm, and all those who make trouble will be killed! There is no doubt about this, and the previous opening of the Cuihan Ancient Road has demonstrated this determination.

In order to avoid being completely encircled in Guanzhong, they cannot sit idly by and watch the completion of Tongguan, and they will definitely obstruct it. Once the group is attacked, then the Lotsi King Division can occupy the home field advantage and engage in a large-scale battle, breaking the outstretched claws, instead of being trapped here and unable to advance or retreat.

After listening to Xie Yi's analysis, Xiao Yuandong was silent for a long time, and after a long while, he sighed: "Xie Er, you have changed, you are no longer pure, full of deceit!" ”

"And you still think I'm a fool for merit? I'm just too lazy to refute your boastful flamboyant gestures. Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements, their voices are not moving, and their strategies are self-contained. On the contrary, it is your kind of talent that is not good enough to choose mediocre choice, and you are keen to seek luck from the odds, which in my opinion, is really not worth mentioning. ”

When Xie Yi heard Xiao Yuandong's emotion, he couldn't help but stroke the short beard under his chin and laughed, and his mood became extremely refreshing. He himself suddenly discovered that a general like him in terms of responsibility did not have to be as knowledgeable as Xiao Yuandong.

"Brother Xian's high-minded argument really makes me ashamed. In fact, I don't want to be a good choice of strategy, but I have no choice but to make people by providence, and the great merit will always be forced against me, and there is no way to avoid it! ”

Xiao Yuandong laughed, but these words made Xie Yi, who had just improved his mood, suddenly darken his face again.

Xiao Yuandong didn't know what to do, and said with a smile: "Wuyi, you have a lot of clever calculations, but I can't do it." Now that I have joined your army, and there is a big move coming, I might as well do my best to help you succeed for the time being. ”

When Xie Yi heard this, he hated it even more, but after thinking about it, he had an idea, so he said: "Since this is the case, then I am also disrespectful." Our army has been trapped in recent days, and it will not be able to climb the plateau. The south plateau is more than 200 zhang high, and the big river is deeply cut into the plateau body, and there is only one narrow road feasible from the east to the east......"

Hangu Guguan itself is not a long place, and the reason why the army is trapped here is because Xie Yi said that it is difficult to climb the southern plateau. The river is so close that it can only be climbed by a narrow passage. And this passage was occupied by Guanzhong Shisheng first, and there were garrisons up and down, blocking Xie Yi's troops from outside.

Many of the prerequisites that Xie Yi discussed before are to open up this channel, and only by climbing the plateau will there be more possibilities. Even as long as this passage can be captured, even if the subsequent battle on the plateau is unfavorable, it can retreat here, and cooperate with the blockade of the waterway but the enemy is outside.

Previously, Xie Yi could not attack it after repeated strong attacks, so he could only retreat here, and then threw out a big plan to build Tongguan to shake the hearts of the defenders.

Therefore, during this period of time, Xie Yi's department has been feintting to attract the attention of Shi Sheng's headquarters, so that it is more convenient for the internal agents to infiltrate the customs defense and wait for the opportunity to launch.

"You have nothing to boast about, but your luck is so good that you are jealous. Since you want to be temporarily ordered by me, you will lead your troops to the feint attack today, and by the way, bring a few arrogant boys to meet the demeanor of the battle formation. ”

Speaking of this, Xie Yi had a headache again, that is, Shen Jin, Xie Wan and a few other restless boys, who thought that they were skilled in arching horses and underestimated the danger, and frequently asked for battles to make Xie Yi annoyed.

How can these safari training boys be able to cope with the real battle battle, if others are also down, but Shen Jin, this kid is among them, if he is really injured and broken, Xie Yi also feels that there is no way to explain to the metropolitan governor, so he can only perfunctory.

Xiao Yuandong's kid is really lucky, and luck is the only way to survive on the battlefield full of dangers, Xie Yi plans to let Xiao Yuandong take them to see the blood, have a correct understanding of the war, or retreat in the face of difficulties, even if they still have to persevere, they can accumulate some experience.

When Xiao Yuandong heard this, he also resisted from the bottom of his heart, they may have dreamed like these boys in previous years, but only after real training did they realize the cruelty and seriousness of war. He didn't bother to take care of a few unknown stakes on the battle array, but seeing that Xie Yi was also distressed, and he had also boasted of good luck before, it was not easy to refuse at this time, so he nodded after a little groaning.

At this time, in the auxiliary camp, Shen Jin and several other friends had already gathered together, and they were eager to arm the bows, swords, and armor they received, and discussed with great interest the tactical arrangements after they went to the battlefield.

At this time, the Chinese army heralded into the camp and informed them to reorganize their troops and prepare for battle. When the teenagers heard this order, they couldn't help but high-five, and the long-awaited thing was finally coming true. It's just that when the teenagers were cheering, Xie Wan looked thoughtful.

When everyone was about to return to the camp to gather their troops, Xie Wan opened his mouth to call them up, and said with a mysterious face: "The battles in recent days should be all feints, and the soldiers rarely beheaded when they return, and there is no fierce battle posture. Although we are eager to fight, we are really weak in strength, and if we only spend our strength in this kind of useless battle, we will be powerless in the real war in the future......"

When the young people heard this, their originally fiery hearts also cooled, and they were full of ardent fantasies about war, and they were even fearless in asking for a hero. But when they realized that their blood was not treated seriously, their mood inevitably fell again.

But even so, no one dares to disobey the Chinese army's summons, otherwise it is not a question of good or bad mood. Therefore, everyone hurried back to the camp to gather the sergeants of the headquarters, and then led the people to the assembly point.

But because there is no kind of supervision of heroic feelings, there is a laziness in the implementation of behavior, especially Shen Jin was tired just after completing the escort task, and even had no intention of rectifying the military posture, and hundreds of people behind him arrived at the assembly point loosely.

At this time, on the high platform, Xiao Yuandong had already changed into a military uniform and stood with a sword, and when he saw the teenagers attracting the crowd, his face had become carelessly good-looking.

After the order was completed, he jumped down from the high platform, and slowly walked past the queue led by the teenagers, his face was unpredictable, and only when he passed by Huan Huo and Wei Teng's troops, did he barely show a few hints of praise.

In the end, he summoned Shen Jin and a few others to the front, and said solemnly: "Have you ever learned the array?" ”

Xiao Yuandong, a popular general in the Governor's Mansion, Shen Jin and others naturally knew him, and now he was standing face to face, his expression was inevitably a little cramped, and when he heard this question, he was even more overwhelmed, and nodded busily and said: "Learned, learned......

"Since you have learned, it is very good, so as not to teach it again. Turning to face the headquarters, how many lashes do you think you should receive? ”

Soon, the loud whip sounded on the school field, and after each was punished, Shen Jin and a few others did not dare to complain, and put on the team to order the troops to rectify the military array. However, in this battle, they couldn't participate in it after all, and they had to stand on the school field for two hours in the training array.

Shen Jin and the others slacked off for a while, not to mention the disgraced faces, and suffered a meal of flesh and skin, watching Huan Huo and Wei Teng lead their respective subordinates to follow the team out, although they knew that this trip was just a feint, but their hearts were also full of envy and remorse.

The scorching afternoon sun was cast on the school field, and the sweat-soaked wounds after being whipped were even more painful. Two hours of standing in line is simply longer for these people than the suffering of the past few months.

Finally, as the sun set, a drum sounded on the side of the school field, and Shen Jin and the others collapsed directly on the school field, their hands and feet became sore and stiff, and they were unable to move at all.

Xie Wan had made a clever analysis before, but the result was that this consumption was much greater than playing a game, and the first thing the teenagers did when they recovered was to rush over and suppress him at the bottom, not to mention resentment, just to make a fuss to dispel the self-blame in their hearts.

At this moment, the drums in the big tent of the Chinese army suddenly sounded in unison, and then a large number of sergeants poured in, directly driving these exhausted teenagers and their men into a corner.

A full 3,000 soldiers gathered here, and the high-spirited military appearance made the teenagers forget their fatigue for a while, and then they were even more embarrassed, and finally realized the gap between themselves and the real front-line predators.

After the sergeants were assembled, Xie Yi climbed the high platform surrounded by dozens of pro-soldier generals, looked around the field, and then said in a deep voice: "The pass has been conquered, and the generals will immediately follow me for reinforcements. ”

After speaking, he walked down the high platform and turned over his horse and rushed out first, and the queue behind him followed neatly like a knife, but in half an hour, the entire school field was empty. No, there were a few stunned teenagers and hundreds of their people left.

"Brothers, can you listen to me...... Hurt me by mistake! ”

Although Xie Wan lowered his head, he could also feel the cold wind surging towards him in all directions, and the chill rushed directly from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and then he subconsciously hugged his head and ran away!
