1058 Winning the Pass
There are countless dangerous passes in the world, and even many passes are not known for their majesticity, but they also left a brilliant mark in history because of one or two wars that can determine the general trend.
But there are not many people who can achieve the significance of deciding the general trend by relying on the barriers themselves. Xiao Yuandong is not clear about the details of this situation, but he can also hear that if Xie Yi's series of plans for Tongguan can be realized, then the significance is really unestimated.
So when talking about this grand plan, many generals and schools in the account, including Xie Yi, were full of excitement. Who wouldn't want to associate their name with a hero that can help the general trend and frame the world?
So when the meeting ended and the generals withdrew, and when they arrived in the room, Xiao Yuandong frowned and said with a careful speech: "Wuyi, you and me don't have to hide anything. Just like I had praised my achievements before, I was just having fun in front of a group of bad friends. If you have any grudges, we can all keep our doors..."
"Oh? Yuandong, do you think I'm suffering because I'm not getting my career, so I'm forced to do this plan?"
Xie Yi said with a smile after hearing this.
"Isn't it? I really don't know what the forces between Luoxi and Xi are. But as you said, managing Tongguan is not a short-term contribution. I don't believe you, don't know what the Grand Commander is currently disturbing. Our old Zhaowu people have been following us so far, and have been deeply involved in each other's bones, and have the same honor and disgrace... Alas, I don't hide it from you. The reason why we formed a new army this year is to make preparations for crossing the river one day!"
Xiao Yuandong said this and moved his seat near the side, looking at Xie Yi and said, "I can also hear that your plan is great. Although the King of Qin has made great achievements in building Zhengqu, he has to seize the day. If you really want to be stubborn here, I will not speak out to help you..."
When Xie Yi heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then widened his eyes, pinched Xiao Yuandong's neck, knocked on his forehead and said angrily: "It turns out that you treat me as a fool who likes false skills and reputation. You have to rely on such a plan to compete with you for the first time for your disgusting skills? I, forgot, I will talk to you more deeply, so that you will not think that you are wise again because of that foolish view!"
As he spoke, Xie Yi couldn't help but sigh and talked about the real dilemma he was facing. Although there was no strong enemy in the battle in Luoxi, the situation was decayed for a long time, so it became even more difficult to deal with. The powerful thieves were rampant like hornets in the mountains and did not discipline them at all.
Although there are eight passes around Heluo, these passes are only effective for established armed forces. The overly complex terrain is like a beehive full of holes. For the small bandits who are wandering in this area, they are simply unprepared and allowed to enter and exit.
"The people in this area are so strong that they are far from being benevolent and righteous. Even if they are temporarily surrendered, most of the government orders will be dispersed immediately. What's more, there are still evil people watching on the flanks, rumors confusing the public, making it even more difficult to support people. Although the king's swords are hanging high, would he really want to kill all the living people?"
Speaking of the corruption of the situation, Heluo is even more serious than Hebei's conscientious ruling of Jie Kingdom. Because even though Hebei is under the strict control of Jie Kingdom, it can at least ensure that an authority is not lost. No matter how strong the people are, they still have to subconsciously obey the power. Even if the power itself has been replaced, a new order can be established quickly.
But Heluo is not the case. It can be said that since the Eight Kings rebellion, the people lived in an environment without authority. It was not easy to incorporate them into order!
Therefore, the biggest trouble in the current situation in Heluo is not that it comes from the threat from Guanzhong. Guanzhong seems like a boiling soup, but in fact it is also disorderly and disorderly. Even Taobao was in charge of Heluo before, so that the thieves in Guanzhong could not advance eastward. Now that the king's army is under this position, its strength is more than several times stronger than Taobao. If those forces in Guanzhong do not go out of the army, they will be seeking death if they send troops!
The operation of Heluo itself is enough to illustrate the current dilemma. Since the end of the war last year, the regaining of territory began to organize reconstruction and reclamation, but Heluo has made the most slow progress here.
Once the grain planting tools are distributed, the livelihood people will flee in groups, and the more they will kill, the more they will escape. Therefore, for these livelihood people, they only dare to use them under heavy supervision as hard labor, and they dare not distribute any resources at all.
Even if there are some cultivated farmland, most of them are the unloading soldiers who have previously taught the fields. Moreover, whenever the harvest comes, the lively people who wander in the countryside will rush out like locusts, which is very disturbing.
The customs of the Heluo area are different from the other places, that is, there is no powerful village that can convince the public. Even if there are some dock walls, they are mostly maintained under the invasion of the chaotic people. As long as the local village elders and tyrants can be controlled, it will generally not be too chaotic, but this is completely ineffective around Heluo.
Especially in this situation, even if all local bandits were killed, the rioters would swarm in soon Hedong, Hongnong, Shangluo and even Guanzhong and other places. Ants erode the elephants to death, which is the real dilemma that Heluo faces.
If the king's army simply regards Heluo as a springboard for enterprising Guanzhong and Hebei, these troubles of the countryside can be ignored for the time being. The army concentrated on guarding the fortress, and the rioters dared not come to invade without knowing their lives. However, this place is to be used as the next foundation for business, so they have to face these troubles.
Why is Xie Yi not clear about what Xiao Yuandong is thinking? As the confrontation between the Jiangdong Central and the Jiangbei Kings Division becomes more and more serious, the conflict may break out at any time. Therefore, it is impossible for the Grand Commander to put a large amount of manpower and material resources into this situation, and it is necessary to obtain a relatively stable situation in the shortest time.
"At least three effects can be achieved when planning to build Tongguan. One is to stabilize our army's morale, the other is to shock the slutty in the country, and the other is to seduce the army from Guanzhong. But whether it is built or not, or when is it built, can I decide?"
At least so far, Xie Yi's troops have been blocked under the pond and have not even seen the face of Tongguan. Even if this plan is available, it will not be implemented immediately.
So this plan is currently just a conceptual strategic weapon, as Xie Yi said, giving the Luoxi King's Division an accurate strategic goal, rather than falling into an embarrassing confusion of advancing but not being able to advance or retreat but not being able to retreat.
At the same time, it is necessary to shock the robbers and bandits in the realm. Once there is no external military invasion, the next step of the king's army will be to vigorously eliminate the situation, and all those who cause trouble will be killed! There is no need to doubt this. The previous opening of the ancient road of the Kohan demonstrated this determination.
Also, they forced the rioters of Guanzhong to jump over the wall. In order to avoid being completely surrounded by Guanzhong, they could not sit idly by and watch the construction of Tongguan, and they would definitely impose obstacles. Once they led the crowd to attack, the Luoxi King's Division could gain the advantage of the home court and engage in a large-scale battle to break the protruding claws, rather than being trapped here and not being able to advance or retreat.
After listening to Xie Yi's analysis, Xiao Yuandong was silent for a long time. After a while, he sighed and said, "Xie Er, you have changed, you are no longer pure and have a lot of fraud!"
"Then do you think I am a fool who is greedy for merit and seeks to show off? I am just lazy to refute your self-proclaimed poses. Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements, and their voices are not moving, and their strategies are achieved. On the contrary, your choice of talent and mediocre ability is keen on pursuing wonders and seeking blessings. In my opinion, it is really not worth mentioning."
When Xie Yi heard Xiao Yuandong's feelings, he couldn't help but smile as he touched his short beard under his jaw, and his mood became extremely refreshed. He also suddenly realized that a general like him who was responsible did not need to be as knowledgeable as Xiao Yuandong, a disgusting person.
"My wise brother, Gao Lu, really makes me ashamed. In fact, I also want to be a good choice for fighting with my own strategy. I have no way to avoid it!"
Xiao Yuandong laughed, but these words made Xie Yi, who had just improved, suddenly turn black again.
Xiao Yuandong didn't know that it was time to stop, and smiled and said, "Wuyi, you have many clever ideas, but I'm not enough. Since you have entered your army and there is a big move, I might as well do my best to listen to you for the time being to help you succeed."
Xie Yi was even more hated when he heard this, but when he thought about it, he had an idea and said, "Since that's the case, I'm not respectful. Our army has been trapped recently and cannot climb the plateau. The southern plateau is more than 200 feet high, and the river is deep and the plateau is in the ground. Only a narrow road can be used to move from the east..."
Hangu Gu Gu Pass itself is not a place for a long garrison. The reason why the army is trapped here is because Xie Yi said that the southern plateau is difficult to climb. The river is closely adjacent to it, and only a narrow passage of more than meter can be climbed. This passage is first occupied by Shi Sheng from Guanzhong, with troops stationed above and below, blocking Xie Yi's troops from outside.
Many of the prerequisites that Xie Yi had discussed before were to open this passage. Only by climbing the steak plateau would there be more possibilities. Even as long as this passage can be captured, even if the subsequent battle on the plateau is unfavorable, he can retreat here, and cooperate with the blockade of the waterway, but he will be in the enemy outside.
Previously, Xie Yi could not attack after many powerful attacks, so he could only retreat here. Then he launched a major plan to build Tongguan to shake the morale of the defenders. With this, he contacted some powerful people on the plateau to serve as internal responses and agreed to launch a near future.
So during this period, Xie Yi's troops were constantly attacking to attract the attention of Shi Sheng's troops, so that internal responders could penetrate into the defense and wait for an opportunity to launch.
"Although you have nothing to praise, your luck is so good that it makes people jealous. Since you are going to accept my order for a while, you will lead your troops to come and take a few arrogant boys to see Zhan Ran Fengcai."
Speaking of this, Xie Yi had a headache, which was Shen Jin, Xie Wan and other restless boys. They thought they were skilled in bows and horses and underestimated the dangers, and frequently asked for battles made Xie Yi very upset.
How could these kids who were trained in the hunting battle be able to deal with the real battle formation? It would be fine if they were others. But Shen Jin was among them. If he was really injured, Xie Yi felt that he could not explain to the Grand Commander, so he could only do it perfunctorily.
Xiao Yuandong is really lucky, and luck is the only way to survive in the crisis-ridden battlefield. Xie Yi planned to let Xiao Yuandong take them to see the blood, have a correct understanding of the war, or retreat when they see difficulties, and even if they still have to persist, they can accumulate some experience.
When Xiao Yuandong heard this, he was also in a deep sense of resistance. In previous years, they had dreams like these boys, but only after real training did they realize the cruelty and seriousness of the war. He was too lazy to take care of a few playboys who did not know their interests in the battle formation, but seeing that Xie Yi was also very distressed, and he also boasted about good luck before, but now it was difficult to refuse, so he nodded after pondering for a moment.
At this time, in the auxiliary camp, Chen Jin and several other friends had already gathered together, and each of them was impatient to arm the bows, swords and armor they received, and enthusiastically discussed their tactical arrangements after they went to the battlefield.
At this moment, the Central Army sent troops to enter the camp and informed them to rectify their troops and prepare to participate in the battle. When the teenagers heard this order, they could not help but slam high five to congratulate them. The things they had been waiting for for a long time finally came true. However, when the teenagers cheered, Xie Wan looked thoughtful.
When everyone was about to return to the camp to summon the troops, Xie Wan called them and said mysteriously: "The battles in recent days should be all feint attacks. When the soldiers returned, they rarely beheaded and had no strong fighting posture. Although we are eager to fight, we are really weak in the soldiers. If we only spend our energy on such a meaningless battle, we will be powerless when the real battle comes to the future..."
When the teenagers heard this, their original passionate hearts were much cooler. They were full of passionate fantasies about war, and they were even fearless even if they wanted to be heroic. But when they realized that their passion could not be treated face to face, they were inevitably depressed again.
But even so, no one dared to respond to the order of the central army, otherwise it would not be a matter of good or bad mood. So everyone hurriedly returned to the camp to gather the soldiers in their ranks, and then led the crowd to the assembly point.
However, because there is no such heroic urge, the implementation of the behavior shows a sense of laziness. In particular, Shen Jin was exhausted just after completing the escort task, and even had no intention of rectifying the military posture. Hundreds of people behind him arrived at the meeting point loosely.
At this time, Xiao Yuandong had already changed into military uniform and stood with his sword. Seeing the young men attracting the crowd, his face became careless and beautiful.
After finishing the order, he jumped down from the platform and slowly walked past the queue led by the teenagers, with a look of unpredictable expression. Only when he passed by Huan Kuo and Wei Teng's troops did he barely show a few compliments.
In the end, he called Chen Jin and others to the front and said, "Have you learned the array?"
Chen Jin and others naturally knew Xiao Yuandong, who were popular in the Governor's Office, and stood opposite each other, with a hurried look on his face. He was even more at a loss when he heard this problem. He nodded quickly and said, "Learn, learn..."
"Since you have learned it, it's great, so as not to teach again. Everyone turns to face their own ranks. How many whips should you feel?"
Soon, a loud whip sounded on the school field. After each was punished, Chen Jin and others did not dare to complain and returned to the team to order the troops to rectify the military formation. However, they could not participate in this battle and had to train the array on the school field for two hours.
Chen Jin and others were lazy for a moment, not only in disgrace, but also suffered a tragedy. They looked at Huan Huo and Wei Teng and led their respective troops to follow the team to set off. Although they knew that this trip was just a feint, they were also full of envy and regret.
The scorching sun was projecting on the people in the school field in the afternoon, and the wound soaked in sweat after being whipped was even more painful. For these people, the two-hour team was even longer than the tortures in the past few months.
Finally, as the sun sets, a drum sounds on the side of the school ground, Chen Jin and others collapse directly on the school ground, their hands and feet become sore and stiff, and they are unable to move at all.
Xie Wan's previous clever analysis turned out to be much greater than a game. The first thing the boys did when they recovered was to rush over and press him to the bottom. There was no resentment, but they just had a fight to relieve their self-blame.
At this moment, the central army suddenly shouted in the tent of the tent, and then a large number of soldiers rushed in and drove the exhausted young men and their troops to a corner.
A total of three thousand soldiers gathered here. The high-spirited military posture made the young men forget their fatigue for a while, and then they became even more ashamed. Finally, they deeply realized the gap between themselves and the real front-line iron-blooded warriors.
After the soldiers gathered, Xie Yi climbed up to the platform surrounded by dozens of personal military generals, looking around the field for a week, and then said in a deep voice: "The Guan Dao Industry has been conquered, and the generals will immediately follow me to reinforce. Before the hour of the afternoon, you will reach the plateau!"
After saying that, he stepped down from the high platform and turned over and rushed out first. He followed him out in rows of knife-cutting rows behind him. In just half a quarter of an hour, the entire schoolyard was empty. No, there were still a few stunned teenagers and their hundreds of tribes left.
"A few wise brothers, can you listen to me... hurt me by accident!"
Although Xie Wan lowered his head, he could also feel the cold wind coming from all directions. The coldness rushed directly from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and then he subconsciously ran away with his head in his arms!
Chapter completed!
