"If we attack Qizhou from the northwest, we can indeed threaten the enemy's flanks, but our flanks will also be exposed to the enemy's front at Xiaoguan. At the same time, if the Hanzhong army cannot break through Xiegu and Sanguan, it will be difficult to quickly
They will join the army coming from the northwest, so they can be easily defeated one by one." Yang Su said decisively, obviously he did not fail to consider this possibility.
Jiang Yuanxun's white eyebrows trembled, and the old general made gestures on the sand table: "Liang Rui has been stationed in the Huaibei battlefield for a long time. This time Yang Jian transferred him to the northwest, obviously because he is familiar with the tactics of our Southern Dynasties. Again
In addition, Xiao Pass is strong and it will be impossible for us to directly break into the city for a while, so it would be risky to bypass Xiao Pass and attack Qizhou from Tianshui."
Yang Su and Jiang Yuanxun reached an agreement, but they undoubtedly made the battle of Xiegu more difficult. Even though the leadership team of Yu Yi, Cao Zhong and Xu Deyan in the northwest had experienced the temper of the previous battle with the Turks, they also wanted to
It doesn't seem that easy to grasp the timing on the battlefield so accurately to ensure that we can keep pace with the Hanzhong army.
What's more, Xu Deyan should have been stationed in Hanzhong. Now the person guarding Hanzhong is Nanchen veteran Chun Yuliang. The old general is old and can no longer stand up to the army. Therefore, if the war really starts, the army can only be led by the younger generation.
Niu Hong's is naturally a bit inferior in terms of weight, let alone forming a close cooperation with Northwest.
"Let Lu Guangda go north from Jiangling to Hanzhong." Li Xingchen said after thinking, "Teach Chen Zhishen back to Jiangling from Fuzhou."
Yang Su and Jiang Yuanxun glanced at each other subconsciously, savoring the reason for Li Xingchen's move.
Lu Guangda was Xiao Mohe's confidant. Before, Xiao Mohe was able to gain a foothold in Jiangling and even threaten Xiangyang. This was inseparable from Lu Guangda's fighting. Later, Li Xingchen defeated Xiangyang and went to the battle of Jiangling. He served as Xiao Mohe's right-hand man.
Chun Yuliang and Ren Zhong on both sides defected one after another, and only Lu Guangda persisted until the end. If his two sons had not trapped him and then surrendered, Lu Guangda might have accompanied Xiao Mohe to fight to the end.
It is precisely for this reason that Lu Shixiong and Lu Shizhen, two young men from the Lu family who have both made military exploits, were given the opportunity to go to the front line, while Lu Guangda could only stay in Jiangling. Obviously Li Xingchen did not treat him very well.
See.
However, the establishment of the Privy Council this time has undoubtedly once again weakened Xiao Mohe's power, and is also one of Li Xinchen's methods to support Yang Su in taking over to replace Xiao Mohe. Xiao Mohe obviously also felt this real threat, so before
Li Xingchen did not show a very positive attitude at the court meeting. Now Li Xingchen mobilized Lu Guangda to go to the Hanzhong front line. He was obviously trying to comfort Xiao Maha and the Nanchen generals who stood with Xiao Maha.
As for Chen Zhishen, Li Xinchen left Chen Zhishen in the southeast for two years just to polish his character. In any case, he was the first-class confidant under Li Xinchen. Now going to Jiangling is obviously the most powerful force that Li Xinchen transferred to Xiao Shilian.
.
To be really worried, Li Xingchen was worried about whether Xiao Shilian and Chen Zhishen, two daring guys, would bring down the sky.
This kind of mobilization is also to balance the conflicts between internal factions, and also to gradually mobilize the reserve forces of the Han Dynasty to the north. For Li Xingchen, it is naturally impossible to always suppress everyone and promote everyone, otherwise he will have to follow Yuwen's footsteps. And one
It is impossible for people to stay in one place forever. The movement of the entire officialdom of the Han Dynasty must be stable but not motionless. It is best if it flows like living water.
"Let the battle in Xiegu be put aside in advance." After completing the personnel transfer, Li Xingchen did not intend to make a direct decision on the remaining matters until he knew the situation clearly. He clicked on the map and said, "How should the battle in Xiegu be fought?
Let’s listen to the opinions from Hanzhong.”
Yang Su responded hurriedly.
"The top priority is to determine the strategy of Nanyang. Before summer, I hope that Nanyang can become the territory of our Han Dynasty." Li Xingchen added that the Xiegu area can wait until the Han Dynasty launches a large-scale attack later, but Nanyang
This isolated city hanging outside Wuguan was bound to be captured by Li Xingchen.
"Your Majesty, Commander Chen Yu in white robe is outside asking for an audience." Li Ping came over quickly.
Li Xingchen nodded slightly, gave Yang Su and others a few words, and then turned around and left.
"I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty." Yang Su, Jiang Yuanxun and others all handed over their hands.
Raising their heads again, the two people looked at each other subconsciously. Baipao had almost completely moved from Jiankang Mansion to Jiangbei, and the meaning was very obvious, that is, to deal with the enemies in the north with all his strength. Therefore, Chen Yu should have returned from Huaibei this time.
We are about to start presiding over the secret war against the north.
Overtly and covertly, this big net is spread out one after another
Yang Su herself even shuddered for Yang Jian.
"Who does he think he is?" Li Xingchen put down his tea cup and sneered.
Chen Yu brought news from Chang'an.
Previously, he was ordered to go to Huaibei to preside over the mutual trade between the north and the south. It was actually Tabata who was in charge of establishing contact with Yu Wenxian. But now Tabata and Cheng Feng have led people north, and they will establish a new one in Nanxiang, which is the closest to Guanzhong.
As a stronghold, Nanyang is obviously more suitable as the base camp for this operation. This is another reason why Li Xingchen is anxious to capture Nanyang. Therefore, the final communication of this matter has now become Chen Yu's task again.
The conditions put forward by Yuwen were very simple. The two sides cooperated with each other to get rid of Yang Jian, and then attacked Yuwen Xian from both sides to promote the unification of the north. After that, the two sides peacefully coexisted according to the boundaries of "Mian River and Huai River", and the Northern Dynasty paid tribute to the Han Dynasty as a thank you meeting.
Although the details have not been discussed yet, it should be roughly limited to these aspects.
This left Li Xingchen speechless.
Logically speaking, the Han's control areas in the direction of Jingzhou and the northwest have now exceeded this boundary. If Yuwen's conditions are followed, will the army in the northwest have to return to Hanzhong, and the army in Nanyang have to return to Xiangyang?
Isn't this wishful thinking?
Could it be that Yu Wen is out of his mind and thinks that he is still qualified to negotiate such terms with Li Xingchen under his current circumstances?
Obviously Chen Yu was also a little helpless. Yuwen was in the deep palace compound, and his eyes and ears were not so clear to begin with. In addition, many things had been exaggerated by Yang Jian, and their taste had already changed. Therefore, he made such a judgment.
It's also reasonable.
After all, the changes in the advantages and disadvantages of the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Dynasties were still seven or eight years ago for Yuwen, so perhaps in his opinion, Li Xingchen should feel satisfied that he could put forward such conditions to the Southern Dynasties.
"Yu Wen is a jobber, so does Yu Wen Shen Ju?" Li Xingchen snorted coldly.
Chen Yu hurriedly lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty, Yuwen Shenju specially sent someone to tell us that what Yuwen said are only preliminary conditions, and there is still room for negotiation."
