Huan Tan's words revealed important information. Feng Yi, the prefect of Yingchuan, is not in Yingchuan, but in Hanoi.

The two met and played chess a few days ago in Hanoi. Feng Yi also said that Huan Tan would go back early so that he could play another game. Where can Huan Tan go back when he returns? Of course it is Handan, of course, he still has to pass by Hanoi.

In this way, Feng Yi either changed his position to Hanoi, or passed by Hanoi, and went north to Handan to report to Liu Xiu.

However, from the route he took, it was not like going to Beijing to report his work, because from Yingchuan to Handan, you don’t have to pass through Hanoi, and it would be a bit far away from Hanoi. Then he must have gone to Hanoi specifically. This can almost be concluded that Feng Yi has stepped down from the prefect of Yingchuan and changed his post to Hanoi County.

When Liu Xiu had just become emperor, Feng Yi was appointed as General Mengjin, leading the troops of Wei County and Hanoi County, and used inferior forces to fight against Zhu Yu. Li Yi's army of 300,000 was the best, and the Luoyang troops could not be out of the city.

Feng Yi crossed the river from Hanoi several times to attack Luoyang, and was too familiar with this area. Liu Xiu had a good reason to change him to Hanoi. So what about Yingchuan? Who is the prefect of Yingchuan now? I don’t know yet.

This appointment is probably freshly released. Generally, for such a large transfer, the Han Intelligence Bureau will get the news as soon as possible and then send it back through secret channels. However, the news from the Han Intelligence Bureau has not arrived yet.

It was just a personnel transfer, but Liu Yu smelled a trace of danger and opportunity. He immediately summoned several generals from Luoyang to discuss.

General Liu Mao of the chariot and cavalry said: "Feng Gongsun is good at fighting. This year, our army tried to break through the Songshan defense line several times and marched into Yingchuan. He was blocked by him. He guarded the Songshan line very firmly, especially the Shuyuankou on the Shuyuan Mountain. The road is between Taishi Mountain and Shaoshi Mountain. There are twelve winding roads. It is almost back. The Shuyuankou is a key obstacle, and it is natural danger, so it is difficult to break through."

Although Liu Mao defeated Feng Yi in the Battle of Iluo, his victory was very dangerous. At that time, Feng Yi restrained Liu Mao head-on, and Cen Peng occupied Yiyang from a long distance and directly advanced to Luoyang. If it weren't for the series of thunderbolt chariots and caught Feng Yi off guard, the outcome of this battle would be unpredictable. With a slight deviation, it might have evolved into a classic battle where Feng Cen and the other two joined forces to fight Luoyang.

Later, Feng Yi defended Yingchuan and deployed heavy troops in the Guangchengze area south of Luoyang and the Qiyuankou Pass in the southeast, which not only ensured the safety of Cen Peng's rear attack on Nanyang, but also almost blocked the southern line of the Yiluo Plain, making Luoyang's radiation effect unable to be exerted.

Liu Mao sent troops several times to try to break through, but failed. Therefore, he recognized Feng Yi's military capabilities very well and had a high evaluation.

He said: "Such a good general is in a hurry to settle in Hanoi. Perhaps Mengjindu is the main attack direction of the enemy."

"No!" the emperor denied it flatly: "I don't think so. Feng Yi is probably here to maintain the defense line of the river, and the main attack direction of the pseudo-Han is definitely not here."

Liu Mao was stunned for a moment, not knowing why the emperor was so sure, but everyone had long been used to believing in the emperor, and he made the decision on the big strategy.

Liu Yu's judgment comes from the historical memory of his previous life. Emperor Jianwu Liu Xiu's use of Feng Yi has always been a deputy attacker. Although he is the only one, his role is mainly to ensure the military behavior of Liu Xiu's main army elsewhere.

Feng Yi is indeed a military genius. He always suppresses the opponent's army with his inferior forces. Needless to say, he is so powerful that 300,000 people were suppressed by him. Later, Deng Yu was defeated by Chang'an. Liu Xiu saw that Deng Yu was useless, and immediately regarded Feng Yi as the general of the Western Expedition and worked as a firefighter to clean up the mess. Feng Yi lived up to his expectations and maintained a partial division in Guanzhong. The more he fought, he became stronger and stronger. He won many battles against the Red Eyebrow Army, and made a small return to the situation. He guaranteed Liu Xiu's main force's clearance operation in Guandong.

Liu Yu believes that this time Liu Xiu still let Feng Yi stand alone and defended Luoyang to the south on the Yellow River line to cross the river, and his main force must have other plans.

The key is where Liu Xiu’s plan is.

Wang Hu said: "Does the pseudo-Han want to attack Luoyang from another place?"

This may exist.

The eastern part of Luoyang is the Henan area where Wuhan was built. It is separated from the Yiluo Plain by mountains. If you want to attack from east to west, you must pass through Hulao Pass, which is the situation of a strong attack. Hulao Pass is a powerful pass in the world. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is difficult to deploy a large army. If you want to attack from now on, how can you say it? It takes too much effort and may not be very effective. Everyone unanimously feels that this possibility is not great.

The southern part of Luoyang is Yingchuan County and Nanyang County. Now Cen Peng has been conquering Nanyang and fought fiercely with Deng Feng for many months. What is most worried about is that the Han army in Luoyang went south and cut off his retreat. Where can he have the energy to enter Luoyang from south to north?

Unless it is Liu Xiu who personally fought for Nanyang.

After discussion, the generals also found it unlikely.

There is a natural disaster this year, and Wuhan is in short supply. If Liu Xiu led his army to march south in person, the distance from Handan to Yingchuan and then to Nanyang is relatively long and the supply is inconvenient. The Cen Peng army can barely deal with the grain supply in Yingchuan, but if the Handan army is added, it will probably be too short.

In this way, you have to transport grain from Hebei or Hanoi. The supply line is relatively long. Those who have fought know that if the supply line increases by one mile, it will be more consumed by one mile. The food transporter will account for a large proportion of the food on the road, which is too wasteful. What's more, Liu Xiu wants to attack Luoyang, how could he go around a big circle and send troops from the south? Of course, he has to choose the nearest Hanoi County.

After a while, everyone finally reached an agreement. Liu Xiu probably would not fight directly with Emperor Jianshi, and his main attack was not Luoyang.

After confirming this, Liu Xiu's attack target was about to emerge.

Liu Yu had a serious face, knocked heavily on the map with his hands, and whispered: "What Liu Xiu wants must be in Hedong!"

The three counties of Hedong, Shangdang and Taiyuan are close to Hebei. Liu Xiu can quickly send troops and quickly replenish supplies. As long as he occupy Hedong, even if he touches the gate of Guanzhong, it is only a river separated from the ruling center of Jianshihan. If he crosses the Yellow River from the east to west and advances to Zuo Fengyi, he can reach Chang'an within a few days.

By then, Liu Yu would not be able to stay in Luoyang and would definitely return to Chang'an without stopping.

When Liu Xiu attacked Hedong, he not only had the shortest supply line and was convenient for sending troops, but also was a real rescue for attacking the enemy. It was a good move.

Liu Yu firmly believed that he had got the right answer, and immediately made arbitrary decision and made a strategic response.

Immediately sent someone to report to Hedong, Shangdang, Taiyuan and Yanmen counties, and ordered them to quickly increase their troops eastward, guard the checkpoints closely, and completely seal the eight passes of Taihang. The top priority was Jiguan from Henoi to Hedong, Tianjing Pass from Shangdang, and Jingxing from Taiyuan. We must send heavy troops to defend the dangers.

If the Taihang Mountains are broken, the areas east of the Yellow River in Jianshihan may all fall, and the Guanzhong area is not dangerous to defend, and it is completely exposed to Liu Xiu's military attack.

With the sharp use of the great magician, he will definitely attack Chang'an and use a black tiger to draw his heart. Not to mention occupying Chang'an, it will be a huge blow to the Jianshi court's economy.

Liu Yu ordered Guanzhong to run at high speed immediately and enter a state of combat readiness, and to strengthen the three counties of Hedong from soldiers, food and grass, etc. In order to unify the command, Liu Yu took the Grand Simashima with the general Tian Kuan, the North, and he was governor of Hedong, Shangdang and Taiyuan.

The messenger set out immediately and the fast horse relayed to deliver the order separately. In less than two days, the emperor's order would arrive in Chang'an and Hedong.

After arranging Hedong, Liu Yu felt a little relieved.

Liu Mao said: "Luoyang army gathers, and we must always do something. Your Majesty, I am willing to lead troops to the expedition and guide the surrounding areas."

Liu Yu smiled and said, "If Liu Xiu can't take Hedong, he will be in big trouble. We can deal with him slowly."

General Fenwei Mu Hong said anxiously: "Your Majesty, stop slowing down, I can't wait! I'm working here every day without working, I'm gaining weight!"

Everyone laughed. But Mu Hong pointed at the generals and said, "Why are you laughing at? Look at you, you are fatter than me!"

Liu Yu said: "I can't raise idle people, and your food will not be eaten in vain. You don't have to worry about being fat. I want to find the hardest place for you to make sure you lose weight!"

Mu Hong was energetic and patted his chest and said, "Leave the hardest to beat me, no one can compete with me!"

The emperor said, "I heard that the main road in Yiluo entered Yingchuan, there was a marble mouth stuck between the mountains and guarding it with danger and it was extremely difficult to attack. Do you dare to go?"

Mu Hong immediately became depressed and opened his mouth and didn't say anything.

He and Wang Hu suffered a great loss there. In the second half of the Yiluo War, they pursued the enemy and came to Mount Huayuan. Because Mu Hong underestimated the enemy and rashly entered the mountain, he was surrounded by the Yingchuan army and almost wiped out. Thanks to Wang Hu's desperate rescue, he was rescued out.

Mu Hong was a little psychologically ill-shadowed about it, and when he heard that Luoyuan Mountain had lost his temper.

The emperor said with a tense face: "What's wrong? I just said that it's the hardest, so I'll give up now? Okay! I won't be difficult for you. I'll choose an easy place for you later. As for the 来地... Wang Hu, go!"

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Mu Hong had already jumped up, "What's the big deal? Isn't it just a selves? I'll go!"

He has always been competitive and cannot withstand the emperor's aggressive trick. His face turned red and he screamed, and he insisted on hitting the selves.

The emperor said with a calm face: "You go there for a while and don't go there. Is it a joke to treat military and national affairs? I have ordered Wang Hu to go, and the decree has been issued. How can I change it?"

All the generals advised him, but Mu Hong seemed to have eaten the weight and insisted on going. He knelt on the ground with a pounce and begged: "Your Majesty, I am wrong! I shouldn't hesitate to go or not. I have fought a defeat there and was originally a little scared, but I thought, how can a man be afraid of defeat? If you lose in Luyuan Mountain, you must win back in Luyuan Mountain! That is why you deserve to be your Majesty's general! I beg your Majesty to give me another chance. As long as I go to Luyuan Mountain, you can do whatever you want!"

The emperor pondered for a while and said, "Since that's the case, I will give you another chance to go with Wang Hu."

Mu Hong kowtowed twice and said, "Thank you Your Majesty!"

"Don't rush to thank you first. I still have a condition. If you can't accept this condition, just don't go!"

"Your Majesty, let alone a condition, even a hundred people can agree!"

"There are no one hundred, only one! You can't make a quick move anymore. Everything can only be taken after you discuss it. But the final decision is with Wang Hu. In other words, you two, General Zhendong is the main general, you are the deputy general, and you have to be controlled by him."

Mu Hong said without hesitation: "In terms of credit, he is greater than me, in terms of official positions, he is higher than me, in terms of brothers, he has saved my life. No matter where he is, I should listen to Lao Wang!"

The emperor then smiled and pointed at him and said, "This kid speaks one by one, and seems to be quite reasonable. In fact, he is the most traitor! I have heard that last time, I almost took Wang Hu to bury him with you because of you. This time, if you dare to violate the military orders again, I will engage in your military law!"

Mu Hong said repeatedly that Wang Hu and Mu Hong, the side troops attacking Yingchuan, were the first to settle down.

Liu Mao said: "Your Majesty wants to attack Yingchuan, is it because he intends to Nanyang?"

The emperor said, "What the second brother said is that Luoyang and Nanyang are very close, but the Yingchuan soldiers have been separated in the middle. Our army has not been able to move south. Now our army gathers in Luoyang. If we can't take Nanyang, it's like Mu Hong said, our hundreds of thousands of troops are for a good meal? Yingchuan is the foundation of Cen Peng's army in Nanyang. If Yingchuan is taken down, Cen Peng will cut off the retreat and we will gather and annihilate it. If Cen Peng runs fast and withdraws back to Yingchuan, we will enter Nanyang and connect Luoyang, Nanyang and Hanzhong. Therefore, I want to send a partial army to Yingchuan and Nanyang."

"If Your Majesty sends a partial army to Yingchuan and Nanyang, where will the main force go?"

"Go east! Go out of Hulao Pass, follow the river to advance to Liangdi, and cut Jianwuhan into two sections from the middle!"

Everyone was very energetic. This strategic concept was too grand and too tempting. If they could fight from west to east and reach the point where the Yellow River entered the sea, they would not only take the fertile land of Qiliang, but also Yangzhou, which went south, was also disconnected from the Hebei area. Will it still be owned by Liu Xiu?

Liu Xiu made a move to the black tiger and Liu Yu cut it off in half with a move. The two emperors made their own moves. Who can laugh to the end?

General Choi Xiu, the general of the closing position, said a little disappointedly: "The Mengjin Crossing has become the most leisurely one."

"How can you be idle?" said the emperor: "Feng Yi in the north will not let you be idle."

Liu Mao said: "There are some military strategies, if there is nothing, it is nothing. According to my opinion, the Mengjin area needs to build large ships and put out the straits of crossing the river. First, to attract the enemy and reduce the pressure on Hedong Jiguan in Hanoi. Second, if Hanoi really has a chance, it can also turn virtual into real, really cross the river and sweep Hanoi. Third, it can prepare ships for the army to advance eastward, control the river waterway, and transport grain eastward."

The emperor said happily: "The King of Hejian is right. If you want to build large warships on the front line of the river, you will scare the other side to death. Put more catapults on the river bank. Feng Yi dares to cross the river to fight. First, ask how many stones his ship can get under!"
