Yingchuan County, Yingchuan County City (no Xuchang).
Yingchuan County is located in the southeast of Henan County (where Dongdu is located), with Xiangcheng County or Xingyang County in between. The two counties block the road from Yingchuan to Henan County.
When the war drums at Hangu Pass shook the sky and the sky was stained with blood, Li Wang Wuxin personally led the Xinwu Guards all the way north and just arrived at Yingchuan County.
After the agreement with Li Tang, the Tang State took Luoyang Eight Pass as the boundary and did not continue to add troops to the southern counties and cities, which greatly increased the speed of the Li Army's Northern Expedition. Only then could Xinwuwei arrive at Yingchuan County so smoothly, otherwise the time would have been delayed for ten days
It takes half a month to arrive.
Of course, the Tang State no longer sent more troops outside the southern pass, but it also did not withdraw the Tang troops from various cities and places.
Obviously, Tang Wang Li Yuan also guessed Li Wang Wuxin's plan. He would rather the Tang army in the south die in battle than withdraw from the Tang army, so that the Li army could capture it without bloodshed. He even ordered the Tang army in various cities and places to defend the city and stronghold, just because he didn't want the Li army.
Arriving at Luoyang Baguan too soon.
After all, people's hearts are separated from each other. If King Li fails to keep his agreement and the two countries attack from both sides, the eastern capital of Luoyang, as the capital of heaven, will not be able to withstand it for long!
What Tang needs most now is time!
Yingchuan County City, City Lord's Mansion.
Wu Xin was quite satisfied with the current progress of the Northern Expedition and was no longer in a hurry to compete with the Sui army for time. After arriving at the county town, he led Xin's military guards to take the opportunity to rest.
"My king! Shadow Mansion and General Mengying are here to report..."
Wu Xin was staring at the military sandbox that encompassed the territories of the Tang, Wei, and Xia Kingdoms, and while he was pondering, Eunuch Hua reported in a low voice.
"Say!" Wu Xin replied without raising his head.
Looking at the overall situation, the Tang State now only has Henan County, Hedong County, Changping County and parts of Xiangcheng County, Xingyang County and other territories north of the Mother River. The most important reliance is Luoyang, the eastern capital, and the rest are not a concern!
As long as Li Guo can capture the Wei State, except for the eastern capital Luoyang, the territory south of the Mother River and outside the Pass (to the east and south of Hangu Pass) will basically fall into the hands of Li Guo. Apart from the eastern capital Luoyang, the Tang State will have nothing.
Important military areas can be relied upon!
"On the battlefield of Hangu Pass, King Xuanxiang, King Zhenwu and Yin Yao of the Sui Dynasty, each leading a bodyguard and a million troops, are storming Hangu Pass. The war has lasted for five days, and both sides have suffered heavy casualties..."
Father-in-law Hua was a little confused about Wu Xin's thoughts and carefully reported the report.
After a pause, he continued: "As of early this morning, the Tang army has been defeated and retreated into the pass. The wall to the west of Hangu Pass has been lost, and street fighting is ongoing! Hangu Pass will be lost in three days or half a month!"
"oh!"
Wu Xin's thick eyebrows were furrowed, but he still stared at the military sand table and responded calmly, as if he had just heard a small thing and it did not cause much psychological disturbance.
Hua Gonggong was startled and reminded again: "Today's generals of the Tang Dynasty, there are only four or five people left, including Li Xiaogong, Duan Zhixuan, and Li Daozong brothers. None of them are the opponents of King Xuanxiang, King Zhenwu or Yinyao. Now they are only relied on by Empress De.
The number of troops is holding on, and the situation is not good!"
"Yes!" Wu Xin replied calmly, still staring at the military sand table.
"..."
Father-in-law Hua opened his mouth. He was a little confused and didn't know what to say. After thinking about it, he bravely continued:
"General Mengying came to report that Concubine De was injured by a spell cast by King Xuanxiang. Fortunately, General Mengying and Xinwuwei fought to the rescue and were saved. If there were no more powerful generals who could withstand the two kings and one demon of the Sui army, or against the silver armor
With the addition of elite troops such as War Guards and Jingwu Armor Guards, it will be difficult to defend Hangu Pass!"
"Yeah?"
Wu Xin's eyes finally left the military sandbox and looked at Eunuch Hua. He paused, smiled and said, "I know!"
"Well……"
Father-in-law Hua was so stunned that he asked bravely: "Will our country support you? There is no need to be too obvious. Let the Gods and Demons Mansion be dispatched, and it should be able to suppress the vigor of the Sui army!"
"Support? Why support? How can we take this important matter of the country lightly? Since it is an agreement, we must abide by it!"
Wu Xin straightened his body and spoke solemnly and solemnly.
"Then Concubine De..." Eunuch Hua reminded hesitantly in confusion.
Of course Wu Xin responded without hesitation: "That was her choice, and Gu naturally had to respect her. Besides, didn't Tang Wang Li Yuan also have fierce generals such as Li Xiaogong, Duan Zhixuan, Li Daozong, as well as Tang Imperial Guards and Xuan Jia Jingqi?
Are we waiting for the elite, Shaolin Temple, Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, Chunyang Palace and other top forces? They are not in a hurry, why should we be in a hurry?"
"But if this continues, our country will lose the contract..." Mr. Hua was stunned for a moment and reminded him again.
Wu Xin looked at Eunuch Hua speechlessly and replied: "If you lose, you lose, what's the problem?! Gu didn't lead his army into the pass, let alone attack the eight passes of Luoyang, so he shouldn't have been prepared to lose the agreement.
?"
"..."
Hua Gonggong opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a moment.
All right!
Hua Gonggong was indeed defeated by Wu Xin. Previously, Hua Gonggong and many important ministers of Liguo were still worried that Liguo would lose their agreement. They were anxious and worried about this and could not sleep at night.
Who knew that King Li had been prepared to lose the agreement a long time ago, and he really did not support Empress Dowager De, and even refused to let the Gods and Demons Mansion take action, so what else could they say?!
"Master! If we don't support Concubine De, it will be difficult to defend Hangu Pass. What if the Eastern Capital falls into the hands of the Sui army?"
Uncle Hong, who had been silent all this time, knew what Eunuch Hua was worried about and couldn't help but ask.
"Isn't that right? We have to fight anyway, but who should we fight with? It's much better to snatch it from the Sui army than to snatch it from the Tang Dynasty and have to worry about the Sui army's surprise attack, right? Besides, it doesn't count as a violation of the agreement!"
Wu Xin shook his head speechlessly, glanced at Eunuch Hua and Uncle Hong with some disappointment, and explained helplessly.
After a pause, he continued: "You don't naively think that if Concubine De guards Hangu Pass, the whole country of Tang will really surrender, right?"
"Isn't this an agreement between the two countries? And it has spread all over the world. How dare the King of Tang go back on it?" Hong Bo asked matter-of-factly, his eyes widening.
If Tang King Li Yuan dares to go back on his word, let’s see if he can withstand Li Guo’s anger!
The Nine Immortals of the Li Kingdom are now the Ten Immortals (Empress Xiao is not included). Isn’t it just a good show?
"hehe……"
Wu Xin couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said:
"Why don't you dare? You can deny a personal agreement, let alone an agreement between countries! If the Tang Dynasty wants to violate important national affairs, there will be many excuses. Are you afraid that you can't find a reason for the world to agree?"
"Then the young master is going to make an appointment in person?" Uncle Hong's mind was in confusion and he didn't understand at all!
"I'm lucky to win, but I'll lose my life! No matter who hands Dongdu or Henan County falls into, our army will fight the same, so you don't need to pay too much attention, just do your own thing!"
The corner of Wu Xin's mouth twitched, but he decided not to explain in detail, and said calmly and calmly. After a pause, he took the initiative to change the topic:
"What's going on with the Kingdom of Wei now? The battle at Hangu Pass has begun. If Li Mi doesn't surrender within three days, he will launch a full-scale attack and destroy the Kingdom of Wei. Before the Eastern Capital falls, our army must capture the Kingdom of Wei and conquer the territory south of the Mother River!
"
Having said that, if Hua Gonggong and Hong Bo have the overall view of conquering the world, it would be too humiliating to keep them by their side!
