After throwing down the military order "Anyone who dares to speak out and fight again will be killed", Li Hongyun began to retreat with his army.
Liu Heitai was flattered and selected 30,000 elite troops in the army, and divided his troops to the direction of Zhiguanxing, intending to cross the Taihang Mountains and enter the Hedong area to open a second battlefield there.
If Liu Heitai can display his established level of "I am invincible under the King of Qin" in this battle, conquer Zhiguanxing in a short period of time, and stir up chaos in Hedong, then even if he cannot defeat Pujin Ferry, he will not be able to threaten Chang'an City.
, Liang Jun must also be shocked.
At that time, it will have a great positive impact on the frontal battlefield.
However, in the eyes of the generals, this operation of dividing the troops was obviously unwise.
After all, the King of Qin only had 3,500 people guarding Hulao Pass. At this time, most generals were not thinking about how to attack Hulao Pass, but how to fight the main force of Liang's army after taking Hulao Pass.
The problem.
After all, in their view, as long as the Xia army launched a fierce attack on Hulao Pass, King Qin would have to retreat sooner or later.
When they arrived at Luoyang City, they had to fight with tens of thousands of Liang troops besieging Luoyang City.
Therefore, they naturally do not want to divide their troops.
There are only 100,000 people in total, and 30,000 are allotted at once, or 30,000 elites. No matter how you look at it, this seems to be an operation that completely ignores the main force's decisive battle later.
What's more, Liu Heitai is not a particularly convincing candidate for many generals. This arrangement is more like Dou Jiande forcibly promoting his fellow countrymen to make him younger.
What made them even more unacceptable was that after Liu Heitai left, Dou Jiande ordered the Xia army to guard the camp, and at the same time strictly ordered the grain transport teams to be more vigilant and not to be robbed by Liang Jun's powerful cavalry.
In this way, the two sides continued to confront each other.
Many Xia army generals found it incredible.
We are tens of thousands of people fighting thousands of people! If we confront Liang Jun, we will suffer a big loss!
Every day there are generals asking for battle.
It wasn't until Li Hongyun became angry and said, "Anyone who dares to speak out about war will be killed immediately" did he suppress this group of people.
Of course, Li Hongyun was also unhappy about this.
In addition to the all-pervasive pressure from the powerful King of Qin, this unhappiness also has a very important aspect: there are really not many reliable generals under his command!
In addition to Liu Heitai, who can definitely take charge of his own role after opening the God's perspective, there is also Su Dingfang, a god general who can be called SSR.
But at this time, Su Dingfang was still relatively young after all. It would be seven or eight years before he truly came to prominence, and it would be another twenty years before he could truly stand out on his own.
Therefore, compared to Liu Heitai, who can be entrusted with important tasks immediately, there is a question mark as to whether Su Dingfang can be used as a big thigh at this time.
Although there may seem to be many other generals, none of them include lakes.
For example, General Zhang Qingte seems to be a very reliable person, but in history, the team responsible for transporting grain and grass was very loosely guarded. As a result, the King of Qin sent Wang Junkuo to lead more than a thousand light cavalry and robbed a large amount of grain and grass.
By the way, Zhang Qingte was also captured.
Another example is General Wang Wan, who seemed to be a top-notch general. Dou Jiande also gave him Emperor Yang's green horse. As a result, when Wang Wan brought 300 cavalry to Hulao Pass to ask for a battle, he was stopped by Yu Chi.
De and his two followers captured him alive, and even sent his horse away.
These are the ones who have left their names in the history books. Those who have not left their names are even less trustworthy!
These generals have deceived at least two of Dou Jiande.
The first time was when Ling Jing proposed the strategy of entering Hedong via Zhiguanxing. Many generals were bribed by Wang Shichong's envoys. Not only did they describe Ling Jing's suggestion as the words of a scholar, but they all showed righteous indignation and resolutely asked for war.
, which made Dou Jiande mistakenly believe that his side's morale was high, and Honey was confident that he would fight to the death at Hulao Pass.
The second time was before the actual decision to launch a general attack on Hulao Pass. That night, King Qin received the intelligence and mastered the news.
Obviously, among the high-ranking generals in the army, there was King Qin's meticulous work.
However, there is no specific name in the history books. At this time, it is probably impossible for Li Hongyun to find out the details.
How can anyone trust such a group of people?
In fact, in history, Dou Jiande had lost again and again before the decisive battle.
First, the King of Qin brought dozens of cavalry to explore the enemy's situation. Thousands of cavalry from the Xia army pursued them, but they were ambushed and suffered heavy losses;
Later, the King of Qin captured the team transporting grain and grass. The guard was loose, and Wang Junkuo led a thousand cavalry and robbed a large amount of grain and grass;
In the end, Dou Jiande spent more than a month at Hulao Pass before finally deciding to attack the city on a large scale.
The continuous accumulation of various small mistakes made Dou Jiande gradually irritable and mentally collapsed, which also laid the groundwork for his subsequent collapse.
And Li Hongyun's idea is very simple: I will hang up and wait for Liu Heita!
Anyway, Dou Jiande originally spent more than a month under Hulao Pass before starting to attack the city. In other words, Wang Shichong could still starve in Luoyang City for at least two months.
Now that Liang Jun has made up his mind that he can't stick to it, why should I bother?
I also guard my own food path and use it up.
Anyway, the outcome depends on Liu Heitai's victory over Zhi Guanxing.
…
At the same time, Hulao Pass.
"Your Highness the King of Qin, the latest military report!"
King Qin took the military report, scanned it quickly, and then just frowned.
This was the first time he encountered such an unpredictable and difficult situation.
Liu Heitai led 30,000 elite soldiers to march north to attack Huaizhou. Naturally, they could not hide it from Liang Jun's sentinels.
From their movements, it is not difficult to judge that the purpose of this trip is to go to Hedong and capture Shangdang.
As for whether after capturing Shangdang, it is difficult to determine whether to attack the entire territory of Hedong, or whether to attack Pujindu directly to the west and threaten Chang'an.
If Dou Jiande took away all the 100,000 troops and went to Zhi Guanxing, then the King of Qin would definitely burst into laughter.
Because, since he could confront Dou Jiande at Hulao Pass, he could naturally choose the opportunity to steal from behind, rob the grain road, etc. while Dou Jiande was attacking Zhi Guanxing.
After all, the King of Qin did not need to personally garrison Hulao Pass, he could just go out and wander around.
But now, Dou Jiande only sent 30,000 partial troops to attack Zhiguanxing, while the remaining 70,000 troops were still staring at Hulao Pass.
Then, King Qin could not go out or even leave.
Because he was convinced that he was the only one who could defend Hulao Pass. It would be difficult for anyone else to defend Dou Jiande's main force for a long time, let alone defeat Dou Jiande and capture him alive.
Although King Qin has not read the future script, it is obvious that his strategic goal from the beginning was not just to defend Hulao Pass. His goal was to "kill two birds with one stone". This was reflected in his decision to send 3,500 cavalry to Hulao Pass.
When he was imprisoned, he made it very clear to the generals.
Therefore, if Dou Jiande's main force does not leave, he cannot leave.
"Divide your troops to attack Hedong...
"It's an unexpectedly tricky choice..."
King Qin was not afraid that Dou Jiande would fight with him at Hulao Pass.
Because in his opinion, he actually has a great chance of winning in the Hulao Pass battle.
Although there is a huge disparity in military strength, the 3,500 men he leads are all elite members of the Xuanjia Army. As long as they hold on to the fortified city and consume the enemy's energy, they can defeat it in one battle.
The initiative lies entirely in Liang Jun's hands.
But Dou Jiande's division of troops created factors beyond his control.
After all, no matter how powerful the King of Qin is, he cannot remotely command the Liang army on the east side of Hedong. If the Liang army on the other side is not strong enough and cannot defend Zhi Guanxing, then there will really be some trouble.
He was not worried that this amazing force could really attack Chang'an with great force, but if Hedong was lost, it would be very difficult to get it back in the future.
By then, Liang Jun's process of unifying the country will probably be delayed for several years.
But at this time he could do nothing, neither to rescue Hedong nor to leave Hulao Pass to attack Dou Jiande's tightly defended army camp.
We can only wait patiently here for the decisive battle to come.
…
In the game, due to Li Hongyun's long-term hang-up behavior, the entire historical slice began to move at an extremely fast speed.
Li Hongyun did almost nothing every day. He just stood still and ordered Su Dingfang to wait for the generals he absolutely trusted to escort the grain and grass, protect the grain roads, detect Liang Jun's movements, and then wait.
Five days, ten days, a month...
Time passed day by day, and finally, the military reports from Liu Heitai were delivered one after another.
Huaizhou and other places obviously did not pose much hindrance to Liu Heitai. This powerful general showed his strong military talents. Under the attack of 30,000 elites, the small number of Liang troops stationed in these places were quickly defeated.
scattered.
However, Zhi Guanxing was indeed easy to defend but difficult to attack, which created a lot of trouble for Liu Heita.
A fierce battle broke out here at Zhiguanxing for more than ten days, but in the end, Liu Heitai succeeded in capturing Zhiguanxing and continued to advance towards the Shangdang.
Obviously, Liang Jun was careless.
Liang Jun at Hulao Pass saw clearly that Liu Heitai and his 30,000 soldiers left Dou Jiande's army and headed north.
But it would take a long time for this information to be transmitted from Hulao Pass back to Chang'an and then all the way to Liang Jun in Hedong.
Moreover, Chang'an probably did not pay special attention to this information and did not really reinforce Hedong on a large scale.
It is certainly reasonable to make this judgment, which is based on three considerations.
First, the main force of Liang Jun was already besieging Luoyang City, and the King of Qin also took a great risk to send 3,500 elite troops to defend Hulao Pass. Under this situation, Liang Jun once again assembled an army to support Hedong.
It's quite difficult in itself.
Second, Liu Heitai was still an unknown person at this time, and he only took away 30,000 Xia troops, so everyone's perspective was still focused on Dou Jiande's main army. No one thought that Liu Heitai was anything special.
The military geniuses in Chang'an obviously believed that the defenders in Hedong were enough to cope with it.
Third, after all, the terrain of Zhiguanxing is dangerous, and the defenders have an advantage.
All these factors combined make it difficult for Chang'an to make the decision to dispatch a large number of troops to Hedong for defense in a short period of time even if they have learned the news.
And Li Hongyun used his God's perspective to extract Liu Heitai's SSR, coupled with Binggui's quick time difference, finally allowed his plan to attack Hedong to go smoothly!
Finally, after crossing Zhiguanxing, Liu Heitai's progress began to get out of hand.
After conquering Shangdang, he continued to advance westward. There were no dangerous passes along the way that could stop the Xia army he led.
After taking over a large area east of the river, the only obstacle ahead is the Pujin Ferry.
After crossing Pujin Ferry, Chang'an is right in front of you.
Or even if we don't attack Chang'an, we continue to fight north. After taking over the entire land of Hedong, Hebei and Hedong can be connected together.
In this way, the two places can be integrated, and at the same time, Chang'an can always be threatened through Pujin, giving it a condescending advantage.
At that time, even if Xia Jun failed to capture Hulao Pass and Liang Jun captured Luoyang, this result would be difficult for Liang Jun to accept.
Seeing Liu Heitai's military report, Li Hongyun couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"good!
“It actually happened!”
Li Hongyun was very excited.
The success rate of this plan is not high, and it can even be said to be a complete gamble on luck. But obviously, he is a European emperor, and he won the bet again this time.
Li Hongyun was convinced that the King of Qin must have received this military report.
Thinking of this, he ordered to summon the generals.
"Send the order and go out to battle tomorrow to capture Hulao Pass!"
