East of Chang'an, Xinfeng and Sui army camps, the camps that stretched for several miles showed a huge scale of troops. What is strange is that the Sui army did not launch a large-scale offensive on Chang'an to the west.

King Yang Guang of Jin walked into the big tent where he lived angrily. In the military discussion just now, he saw what was shirked and what was lying with his eyes open.

The generals of each department did not work hard, saying that they wanted to attack Chang'an, but they all returned "lost". He did not actually lead the troops to fight, but after a glance from a distance, he knew that there must be something strange about it.

The generals had their own worries, so they didn't take the attack on Chang'an seriously. The soldiers who went to fight were all lazy and didn't even take the archery seriously, but they just deal with it.

"A bastard, one day, I will definitely clear you and others!"

Yang Guang was angry, but he had no choice but to do anything. Fortunately, he brought the Bingzhou army with him this time, otherwise these generals would become more and more unscrupulous.

Aristocratic families, powerful people, children, disciples and former officials are all in the army. These people are loyal to their respective families rather than the court. At the critical moment, the soldiers in their hands are slightly more reliable.

Although Yang Guang was young, it did not mean that he was a fool. Many generals were slacking off and might have had contact with Chang'an City in private. Zhou Jun must have promised many benefits, so these people were watching from the wall.

Therefore, his Bingzhou army had to fight against the Zhou army, but also had to be wary of some people turning against each other. The seemingly large-scale official army was actually full of crises. Everyone had their own thoughts and were guarding against each other.

It’s a pity that I brought too few Bingzhou troops!

Some people have ulterior motives, so Yang Guang naturally would not do it. With the help of Chief General Yu Qingze, he cut off several generals who avoided the war to serve as a warning. The situation changed slightly, but if he wanted to establish his authority, he had to kill some, which required strong troops as a backing.

During the battle, the Bingzhou army had to be supervised, and the central army had to be guarded to prevent some people from selling him. This would result in the Bingzhou army's military's strength being insufficient, so it was necessary to give in vain.

With coaxing and deceiving, Yang Guang made various benefits, while killing people, he almost put his posture to the lowest point and "seeking" those generals, and putting the overall situation first and driving the Zhou army out of Chang'an as soon as possible.

If my father and mother were still there, how could he be in such a situation!

Thinking of this, Yang Guang couldn't help but feel sad. In just over a month, the Sui Kingdom had earth-shaking changes. As long as you are not careful, your corpse will be gone.

Success and failure of Xiao He. The establishment of the Sui Kingdom was relied on the support of the Guanzhong family, but now, these family members may become gravediggers of the Sui Kingdom.

In the past, those people could support his father ascending the throne and becoming emperor, but now, these people can also betray him in exchange for family wealth. The most hateful thing is that they clearly know that the other party has such a mind, but they can do nothing.

Today, the beheaded are all secondary generals. Those leaders from aristocratic families cannot move. Most of these people are swaying around the bush and bringing their ties. It is inevitable that they will be in a mess, so Yang Guang has to endure no matter how unwilling he is.

Chief Yu Qing was looking for a meeting outside. Yang Guang was anxious when he saw the only important minister who could rely on, and his anxiety was slightly relieved: "Shi Yu, what's the situation?"

"Your Highness, don't worry. Your Highness has reiterated the military discipline. Next time you go to battle, you will advance by beating the drum and retreat by roaring the gold. Those who are lazy will be punished as a matter of affair with the enemy and will be killed without mercy."

"Will that..."

"So what? Since I was thinking about the opposite side, it was the enemy of the official army. Instead of wasting time as he wasted, it would be better to pick the pustule through!"

"So what's going on to attack Chang'an?"

"The official has already formulated a strategy, please check it out..."

The Zhou army occupied Chang'an, and the Sui army was the east, north and west of Chang'an. King Yang Guang of Jin now led his army to Xinfeng, east of Chang'an, and was the main force.

The Xianyang County garrison confronted the Zhou army in the north across the Wei River, which was the flank of the army; the west of Chang'an was the defenders of the army, which was considered to be a hindering Zhou army in the city.

If the Sui army in Xinfeng wants to attack Chang'an, it needs to take down Baqiao, and Bashui Post is the place where the two armies fight. The battle that broke out during this period revolved around Bashui Post.

The Zhou army in Chang'an guards Baqiao, and they can get support from the defenders in Lantian. Lantian and Xinfeng are just across a mountain range, Xinfeng is in the north and Lantian is in the south.

Lantian was also the retreat route of the Zhou army in Chang'an. Yu Qingze meant that he would rescue him if he attacked him. He divided his troops to attack Lantian, which would hinder Lantian's defenders so that he could not reinforce Baqiao.

"Attack Lantian, you either walk from the official road of Baqiaoyi to the west of the mountain or walk on the Yushan path on the eastern foot of the mountain. Is the Zhou army already deployed defenses?"

"Yes, but our army has a lot of troops. If we divide our troops and walk on the Yushan Road, the Zhou army must also divide our troops to guard the pass. In this way, the opponent will have fewer troops to reinforce the Ba Bridge in Chang'an."

"Didn't our army have already had troops stationed on Yushan Road before? Did they use these troops to attack Lantian?"

"The lower officials have already allocated troops. The Yushan Road is not a feint attack. If the troops can come to Lantian City, it will be of great benefit to the battle situation."

"I'm going to attack Li Sima, are you back after you have any news?"

"About the days, there should be a war, but the mountain roads are tortuous, and it will take time for the news to come. However, even if Li Sima fails to succeed and set up a village in Laojunyu, he can still divide the strength of the Zhou army. The opponent's strength will be diluted without realizing it."

Yang Guang looked at the map and felt that what Yu Qingze said was very reasonable. He had no actual experience in leading the army and was thankful that he had the opponent's staff. Otherwise, he was really helpless. Since Jinyang sent troops, Yu Qingze has planned it. One of the strategies was to attack Shangluo, the prefecture of Shangzhou.

Sima Li Che, the general manager, led his troops to set out first, walked from Huashan County to Wengyu into Qinling Mountains, and went south to Laojun Valley to attack Shangluo. If the Wuguan Road was successfully cut off, the Zhou army would be done.

Even if he failed, he would be able to defend against Zhou army from Wengyu and seize the retreat of his side. Even if Jiyang was lost, the Huashan County garrison blocked Wengyu and several nearby valleys, and the other party could not get out.

"There are many valleys on the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains. What if the Zhou army came out of a certain valley?"

"There is a saying in the art of war. Anyone who fights will win with the right combination and will win with the strange..."

Yu Qing began to explain his experience in using troops. The right way is to combine righteousness and strangeness. If you just use strangeness, you will always fall into the bottom of the way. The Qinling Mountains are stretched and there are many valleys and cannot be defended. But what can the Zhou army even emerge from a certain valley?

There are only a few valleys that are convenient for marching, but even so, it is rugged and difficult to walk. Not to mention other paths, you need to send surprise troops to attack. If you think of it, then the troops will not be able to increase.

If you walk a small road and cross mountains and ridges, don’t think about the carriage for transporting grain, you can only carry dry food with you.

Everyone can carry limited dry food, and even after crossing the Qinling Mountains, they have been consumed. They can plunder food by ramming the village, but the other party is unlikely to have horses and move slowly. The official army can quickly surround it by mobilizing cavalry.

"Your Highness, the other party controls Lantian and Wuguan. If you want to send surprise troops into Guanzhong, it may only be in Lantian, Huashan County and Tongguan. Even if some surprise troops leave the mountain, it will be impossible not to be discovered by surrounding villages. At that time, the troops stationed in various places can surround them and kill them, so don't worry."

Yang Guang nodded when he heard this, and Yu Qing was right. Even if the Zhou army crossed the Qinling Mountains and entered Guanzhong, unless they were walking in the remote mountains and forests, they would definitely not be able to escape the villagers along the way.

Unless one is seen killing one, the news will inevitably leak, and it will be easy for garrisons from all over the country to deal with it.

"Your Highness, the decisive battle is coming. To prevent accidents, please do not easily meet the generals alone. After all, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs. If someone takes risks, it will be too late to regret it."

"I know that there will be a hard time in military affairs."

Yang Guang can only rely on Yu Qingze now. This person's ability is no less than Gao Feng. He feels that just like Gao Feng's father, now it is the time when he needs to rely on the other party, so he is fully responsible for military affairs.
