After trying a few more times, Li Hongyun finally acquired the talent of "Proficiency in Bow and Horse".
This is a D-level golden enhanced version of talent, and it is currently the talent that can best make up for Li Hongyun's lack of personal combat power.
Of course, high EQ means "having tried a few times", while low EQ means being beaten several times by the King of Qin.
Li Hongyun wanted to make a fuss about the fact that the King of Qin liked to personally bring a small number of cavalry to explore, and tried to ambush or send some brave generals to pursue and intercept, but all ended in failure.
because……
Naturally, all the enemies of King Qin in history have thought of the methods he could think of.
Especially for the behemoth Eastern Turks, their cavalry could not get any advantage when encountering King Qin's cavalry troops, not to mention that Dou Jiande's cavalry was far inferior to the Eastern Turks.
In history, many people felt sorry for Dou Jiande, thinking that if he had not been born in the early years of the Liang Dynasty, but in the late Liang Dynasty or other chaotic times, he might have become a hero.
The journey of sending people to death at Hulao Pass also changed Dou Jiande's historical image from a hero who started out in the rough, was polite and virtuous, and had certain achievements in politics and economy, to a typical figure who played a good hand of cards but failed.
But in fact, Dou Jiande was not unjust.
Because when it comes to injustice, there is another East Turk Jieli Khan who was even more unfair than him.
In short, Li Hongyun’s attempt failed.
The King of Qin dared to lead dozens of cavalry into the battle, not because he was blindly reckless or taking risks, but because he had calculated all the risks.
In fact, there were many people who imitated King Qin. For example, his nephew Prince Huaiyang often imitated his behavior of leading dozens of cavalry to charge into battle.
In the battle of Hulao Pass, the Huaiyang County Prince made great contributions in defeating Dou Jiande. He rushed back and forth in the military formation several times and even survived after being shot into a hedgehog.
However, if you play too much, you will lose it.
During the crusade against Liu Heitai, the young Prince of Huaiyang County made another charge into the battle, but ended up dead.
When the King of Qin heard about it, he was very sad and said: "He often follows me on expeditions here and there. Every time he sees me charging into battle, he is very envious and wants to imitate me. This is what has caused today's disaster!"
It can be seen that King Qin clearly saw the risks of his charge into battle. He was not a brainless man, he made such a decision precisely when he was sure that he could escape unscathed.
A very important point here is insight.
The King of Qin brought dozens of cavalry to see the opponent's situation and could accurately judge the opponent's strength. He would fight when it was time to fight and retreat when the time was right. Only when the two sides were in a stalemate would he rush out and fight for his life regardless of his own safety.
Therefore, Li Hongyun laid ambushes several times, but they were basically seen through. The King of Qin had already turned around and left before the ambush surrounded him.
But when Li Hongyun chases after him, something will happen if he is not careful.
After realizing this, Li Hongyun decided to change direction.
First of all, stick to the camp and strictly order the soldiers not to pursue them if they are provoked by the King of Qin.
Of course, this caused a lot of opposition in the army, but it didn't matter, because Dou Jiande had a high prestige at this time and could still suppress his group of people.
If the King of Qin brings dozens of cavalry to explore the terrain, it is better to let him explore the terrain than to send thousands of cavalry out.
After ensuring safety, Li Hongyun immediately summoned the generals to discuss matters.
"What do you think of the recent war? Feel free to speak freely."
Li Hongyun glanced at the many generals under his command.
Especially Liu Heitai, whom he had already paid attention to before, stayed for a while longer.
Soon, the generals began to state their own ideas.
Some generals looked impatient and suggested an immediate and massive attack on Hulao Pass, in order to break through the city and relieve the siege of Luoyang.
Some generals believe that there should be a stalemate for the time being, and they should ascertain the reality before taking action.
Li Hongyun, after each general proposed a plan, would question him from the perspective of King Qin, but the result was that the other general was often speechless.
Obviously, neither of these two methods works.
A massive attack on Hulao Pass?
Hulao Pass is a majestic pass with a very important terrain. It is located at the gap between two high loess slopes, but Liang Jun could not hold on and was very powerful in combat.
It's very difficult to chew hard.
If he could really bite him off, then Dou Jiande wouldn't have hesitated for so long before taking action.
And a long-term stalemate is obviously not feasible.
Because judging from the situation at this time, Dou Jiande's side is more logistically tight. If it continues, it will be beneficial to Liang Jun.
What's more, the city of Luoyang is already in danger. Everyone in the city has been starving for a long time and may fall at any time. If you wait and Luoyang falls, wouldn't Dou Jiande's trip be in vain?
Not to mention that at this time, everyone in Dou Jiande's army believed that it was impossible for the Flying Dragon Rider to lose when an army of 100,000 people fought against thousands of people. They came all the way to fight for the decisive battle, not to see the scenery at Hulao Pass.
Such a negative strategy may be difficult to convince the public.
At this moment, a man who looked like a counselor spoke.
"I believe that our army should lead the army across the Yellow River, capture Heyang in Huaizhou, then cross the Taihang Mountains, enter Shangdang, then take the Hukou and Pujin crossings, and then take over the land east of the river.
"This is the best strategy and has three benefits: firstly, entering an uninhabited territory and having a complete division; secondly, expanding the territory and gaining troops; thirdly, the siege of Luoyang will be relieved."
This time, Li Hongyun did not respond immediately.
Because he knew that a very important IF line in history was before him at this time.
This counselor-looking man was called Ling Jing, and his words were indeed recorded in history books.
At that time, Dou Jiande's army arrived at Hulao Pass and saw that the terrain of Hulao Pass was dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and difficult to capture in a hurry, so Ling Jing proposed such a strategy.
This strategy, to put it simply, is to abandon Hulao Pass and instead go to Zhiguanxing, one of the eight passes in Taihang, to attack Hedong.
Then, use Hedong as a springboard to attack Guanzhong, and even approach Chang'an.
This style of play has the style of besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao.
Many people in later generations lamented this, thinking that Dou Jiande lost the possibility of fighting for hegemony because he did not listen to Ling Jing's strategy.
But if you think about it carefully, you will find that this method... actually has many problems.
If Li Hongyun had not understood the relevant content, he might directly agree with what Ling Jing said at this time and resolutely implement this method.
In history, Dou Jiande did want to follow this method, but two of Wang Shichong's envoys were also in the army at that time. They went to Dou Jiande to cry day and night, and bribed Dou Jiande's generals to ask them to fight unanimously.
It created an illusion for Dou Jiande that "the morale of our army is at its peak", which made him not adopt Ling Jing's method.
At this time, based on many analyzes by later generations, Li Hongyun cleared away the layers of fog and finally saw things more clearly than Dou Jiande did back then.
He looked at Ling Jing and asked: "This is a very good plan. But I have three questions, sir. Please answer them."
Ling Jing hurriedly said: "Of course."
Li Hongyun continued to ask: "First, if you want to cross Taihang and join the Shangdang, you have to go through Zhiguanxing. The reason why Zhiguanxing got its name is because it is extremely narrow and can only accommodate one military vehicle at most.
"In other words, the terrain at Zhiguanxing is much more dangerous than Hulao Pass.
“If our army cannot conquer Hulao Pass, how can we conquer Zhi Pass?
"Second, Liang Jun has taken Hanoi, Heyang, and Huaizhou from Taihang first. It shows that the King of Qin has thought of this a long time ago. Therefore, the Liang Jun defenders in Hedong must be on guard and cannot be defenseless.
"With our 100,000-strong army, it is absolutely impossible to hide our traces. Therefore, Liang Jun can also reinforce Hedong in time.
“So the question remains, if our army can’t conquer Hulao Pass, why can we conquer Zhi Pass?
"Third, this road has to go around the Taihang Mountains, which is much farther than the Weihan Ancient Road, and it also passes through Zhiguanxing. How can we ensure the logistics of the army? Even if it goes well, I am afraid that by the time we arrive at Shangdang, Luoyang will have already
was captured.
"And once Wang Shichong dies, the Liang army will have all the land around Luoyang. If we go east to cut off our food routes or send troops to Hebei at this time, how should we respond?"
Ling Jing was stunned for a moment: "This..."
He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I believe that the only one who is really difficult to deal with the Liang army is the King of Qin. Although the terrain of Zhiguanxing is more dangerous, it is not the King of Qin who is guarding it after all.
"As for Wang Shichong... if we hold on to the fortified city of Luoyang for more than a month, there will be no problem."
Li Hongyun looked at Ling Jing, and Ling Jing also looked at Li Hongyun.
Obviously, Ling Jing's plan at this time hid some information. This information could not be stated clearly in front of everyone, but Ling Jing believed that Dou Jiande should understand.
Li Hongyun looked at Liu Heitai among the generals: "General Liu, what do you think?"
Liu Heitai was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect Dou Jiande to ask his opinion.
After all, his status in the Xia army at this time was not high.
However, now that he has this opportunity, he will naturally not let it go.
"The general believes that this plan is feasible. However, it may not be appropriate to send a hundred thousand troops to Zhiguanxing.
"It's better to divide the troops."
As soon as he finished speaking, some generals immediately objected.
"Division of troops? This is a taboo for military strategists!
"My 100,000-strong army has been assembled. It's time to fight Liang Jun to decide the outcome. How can we divide our troops?"
Li Hongyun fell into thinking.
At first glance, Liu Heitai's idea of dividing the troops is indeed not very feasible.
A hundred thousand troops have been cut down by King Qin. If we divide some of them, wouldn't we only lose even more miserably?
But after comprehensive consideration, perhaps dividing the troops is the best option.
After all, Liu Heitai is not an ignorant person, and his suggestions must be reasonable.
Speaking of Liu Heitai, he is also quite legendary.
When he was young, he was a gangster who was idle and did not do serious work, but Dou Jiande often helped him. As a result, the two of them had an irreversible friendship.
Later, the world was in chaos, and Liu Heitai and Dou Jiande were displaced, each attached to different forces. Later, when Dou Jiande raised his army, Liu Heitai was under Wang Shichong. He felt that Wang Shichong had no future, so he ran away with his subordinates and took refuge with Dou Jiande.
In several subsequent battles, Liu Heitai showed good military talents, which made Dou Jiande think highly of him.
But this kind of respect is obviously not enough to be regarded as his right-hand man.
After all, Liu Heitai did not have many opportunities to lead troops to fight independently at that time. Although he had military talents, he had not yet fully demonstrated them.
In the battle at Hulao Pass, Dou Jiande was penetrated by a wave, captured alive, and then beheaded in a busy city.
The beheading of Dou Jiande was definitely one of the stupidest decisions made by Liang Gaozu. In fact, Dou Jiande wanted to kill him, but he should not kill him immediately, let alone kill him so blatantly while making trouble.
You should at least send people to appease the entire Hebei area and then kill them secretly.
Therefore, Dou Jiande's death made everyone in his old tribe in Hebei feel in danger and started to rebel again.
It stands to reason that Dou Jiande's 100,000 troops have been sent away and the world has been basically pacified. These old troops should not be able to make any trouble.
However, they were very lucky to meet Liu Heitai - an almost unrivaled military genius under King Qin in this troubled time.
The process of Liu Heitai being elected was also outrageous. At that time, Dou Jiande's former ministers planned to raise troops to rebel, but they couldn't think of anyone to take the lead, and they probably didn't want to take on this hot potato. After all, the success rate of rebellion at this time was very low. Once
If it fails, the chief culprit will definitely die, but the rest may have room for survival.
So, they asked an old Taoist priest to tell their fortune, and the fortune-telling result was that Mrs. Liu would be lucky.
This group of people searched for a long time, and first found Dou Jiande's old subordinate Liu Ya. However, Liu Ya was determined not to rebel against them, so the group of people killed Liu Ya, continued to search, and found Liu Heitai.
It can be seen from this that although Liu Heitai and Dou Jiande were fellow villagers before, they did not have a high status in Dou Jiande's army, otherwise they would not have been approached for fortune telling.
Then Liu Heitai was very happy and raised troops.
Just over two months after the Battle of Hulao Pass, Liu Heitai raised troops with only more than a hundred people, and in just over a month they successively captured Zhangnan, Weizhou and other places, and Dou Jiande's old troops joined him one after another.
Seeing Liu Heitai's rebellion intensifying, of course the Liang Dynasty could not sit still.
The king of Huaiyang, who had followed the King of Qin to defeat Dou Jiande at Hulao Pass, led 50,000 troops and joined forces with Li Yi, the general manager of Youzhou, to attack him.
Then, with the flying dragon on his face, he lost.
So Liang Gaozu recruited Li Xiaochang, Li Shiji and others to continue besieging Liu Heita.
Then, he was hanged and beaten again.
Especially this Li Shiji, he was Li Ji, a famous general at that time. He made significant contributions to the wars of destroying the Eastern Turks, Xue Yantuo, and Goguryeo.
As a result, he was beaten by Liu Heitai and "only escaped with his own body".
Of course, Li Shiji was still in his infancy at this time, and Liu Heitai had the home court advantage in Hebei after all. But in any case, Liu Heitai's strength was evident.
As for where King Qin is...
In fact, Liang Gaozu did not want to send King Qin to fight again.
Because after the Battle of Hulao Pass, the King of Qin had already become a natural-strategic general by capturing two kings in one battle, and could not be sealed. If he performed further meritorious deeds, he would have posed a serious threat to the prince.
So Liang Gaozu thought about why he should not give this military merit to the King of Qin again.
As a result, Liu Heitai slapped him hard in the face with the facts.
Without King Qin, your huge Liang Kingdom would really have no one to fight against!
As a last resort, Liang Gaozu once again activated King Qin.
In the process of pacifying Liu Heita, the King of Qin never found a good way, and even lost his general Luo Shixin. In the end, the King of Qin fought steadily and pressed harder step by step, and relied on the strong national power of the Liang Dynasty to consume Liu Hei to death.
闼.
Since Liu Heitai showed this terrifying performance of "I am invincible under the King of Qin" more than two months later, then his military ability at this time must be higher than everyone present.
Back to Ling Jing’s proposal.
On the surface, this proposal was to encircle Wei and save Zhao, but in fact it was not.
The three questions Li Hongyun asked are exactly the three Achilles’ heel of this proposal.
Ling Jing's route is not a new one. It is one of the three main routes into Guanzhong.
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
Since ancient times, there have been three main roads into Guanzhong: the first is the North Henan Passage, which is the road that Ling Jing said took Zhiguanxing; the second is the Xiaohan Ancient Road, which is now from Hulao Pass to Luoyang, and then
From Luoyang, take Hangu Pass and Tongguan to enter; the third is Wuguan Road, which starts from Xiangyang and passes through Wuguan, Shangluo, Lantian and then to Chang'an.
Although there are other routes, they are too far.
Among these three roads, it is absolutely impossible to walk on Wuguan Road, because Wuguan Road is the most steep, and even two horses cannot run parallel to each other at the narrowest point.
And Zhiguanxing is not that strong. The reason why it is called Zhiguan is because it can only accommodate one military chariot passing through.
Comparatively speaking, Hulao Pass is already considered the best route to take. After all, it is much wider than Zhi Pass and Wuguan Pass.
If you can't defeat Hulao Pass, why should you attack Zhi Pass?
What's more, the road proposed by Ling Jing cannot reach Luoyang at all.
This road involves taking the Taihang Mountains to Shangdang, then gradually taking over most of Hedong from Shangdang, and finally taking Pujin to attack Chang'an.
There is a very long distance between Chang'an and Luoyang, such as Tongguan Pass and Hangu Pass. By the time Dou Jiande threatened Chang'an, the grass on Wang Shichong's grave was already ten feet high.
It's no wonder that Wang Shichong's envoys cried every day, because if Dou Jiande went to fight Hedong instead, it would mean that Wang Shichong would definitely die.
This is also an important reason why Dou Jiande did not choose this plan in the end.
So, wouldn’t Ling Jing understand this?
Of course he understands.
Therefore, on the surface, this is a plan to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao. It sounds like it is saying: "We can't take Hulao Pass, so we will take a detour to attack Chang'an and let Liang Jun go back to rescue, so the siege of Luoyang can be solved."
"
But in fact, this is saying: "Don't worry about Wang Shichong, he is already dead! There is no point in spending time here at Hulao Pass. If we can't defeat it, our trip will be in vain. It is better to take advantage of Wang Shichong's trap now."
Luoyang has attracted the main force of Liang Jun, let's go grab the territory in Hedong!"
As for whether Hedong can be captured or not?
After analysis of this matter, although the success rate is not high, it does exist.
The success rate is not high because Liang Jun has already taken precautions and will definitely strictly defend the Zhiguan route. With the army unable to deploy, the prospect of capturing Zhiguan is not very optimistic.
Moreover, once Dou Jiande withdraws, Wang Shichong may soon surrender, and he may not be able to hold off Liang Jun for a long time.
However, after all, those guarding Hedong were not the main force of the Liang Army, nor the invincible King of Qin. And Dou Jiande might have a certain possibility of success if he went to attack Hedong.
Although this possibility is not high, but...
No matter how bad the outcome is, it cannot be worse than the defeat of a hundred thousand troops by the King of Qin at Hulao Pass.
After comprehensive consideration, Li Hongyun said to Liu Heitai: "You personally select 30,000 elite soldiers as the commander-in-chief and go to Zhiguanxing to attack Hedong! If everything goes well, you can force Pujin to cross and frighten Chang'an.
"I personally led the army to confront the King of Qin at Hulao Pass!"
