Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2255 Capture four levels, lock the level?
Chapter 2251 : Win four levels, lock them in?
After Li Jing led his army to arrive in Chang'an, he did not launch the siege immediately. Instead, he observed Chang'an's defenses first, and then made corresponding arrangements, while waiting for the siege equipment from the rear to arrive at the front line.

After all, Chang'an is the largest city in Kansai. The city is high and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Moreover, there are many defenders and sufficient food and grass. Without adequate preparations, even an army of 15 cannot capture it.

At present, there are still nearly [-] defenders in Chang'an City. Although there are only [-] elites, the remaining [-] are county soldiers with weak combat capabilities, but they can undoubtedly exert stronger combat capabilities in the battle of defending the city. It is by no means so easy to capture Chang'an.

"Great governor, the last general, Lv Bu, pleaded guilty. If the last general failed to hold back Li Shimin and caused his main force to retreat to Chang'an, how could there be a hundred thousand troops in the city?"

"No, it's Huo's responsibility. General Fengxian only has [-] cavalry, and Huo has [-] cavalry, but still let Li Shimin withdraw from Wuzhangyuan. Huo is guilty."

Lu Bu and Huo Qubing blamed each other, and they both believed that it was their own fault for Li Shimin's escape to Chang'an. If they could hold Li Shimin back, Chang'an City would not be as difficult to fight with [-] less defenders.

"Okay, now is not the time to pursue responsibility. The top priority is to capture Chang'an City as soon as possible. There is still one month left before the founding ceremony, and we don't have much time left." Li Jing said with a serious face.

The generals looked at each other, showing serious expressions.

It is not an easy task for an army of 15 to capture Chang'an with [-] defenders within a month.

"Because of the governor's negligence, Sima Yi's trick to get rid of the golden cicada's shell, Baling County, which had been surrendered to the Qin Dynasty, was recaptured by Sima Yi, and the county magistrate was brutally wiped out."

Holding the ruler in his hand, Li Jing pointed at the cities on the topographical sand table in Guanzhong, and said unhurriedly: "At present, apart from Baling County, among the 38 counties in Guanzhong, Shang County, Shangluo County, Si County, Duling County, and Suyi Fourteen counties, including Yanxian, Yaxian, Anling, and Chongquan, have all returned to Qin.

In addition, the three passes of Wuguan, Xiaoguan, and Gaoguan, as well as important places such as Huanfenglingdu and Wuzhangyuan, have also entered the hands of my Great Qin.

As long as Chang'an can be captured, I believe that the cities in Guanzhong who are waiting and watching will not need to send troops to attack, and the message can be determined. "

A country's capital is the heart of a country. Once the flames of war reach the country's capital, it will be a major earthquake for the entire country, which will definitely cause turmoil in the foundation and people's hearts.

Although Luoyang is not yet the capital of the Qin State, it is the capital of the Han Dynasty established by Ying Hao. What happened after being surrounded by the Tang army?
The imperial party resolutely launched a coup, preparing to welcome the Tang army into Luoyang.

Qin Hai was obviously from the Qin family, but he betrayed his family and joined Li Tang.

Such cases, after the siege of Luoyang, are simply innumerable.

This is the consequence of the country being besieged, so no country will put the country in danger.

Chang'an is the heart of the Tang state. Now that 15 Qin soldiers are surrounding Chang'an, and directly pointing their knives at the heart of the Tang state, the impact will naturally be huge.

The encirclement of Chang'an by Li Jing's troops caused people's hearts to fluctuate greatly in the Tang Kingdom. Many people were already preparing their way out, and seven counties directly surrendered.

The two counties of Fufeng on the right: Yufu and Wugong

Four counties of Zuo Fengling: Yunyang, Meixu, Suyi, and Ya County

Jingzhaoyin County: Changling
After the three armies of the Qin army joined forces, just encircling Chang'an with soldiers, seven cities came to surrender, and 38 counties in Guanzhong have won fourteen of them.

Just imagine, if Chang'an is captured, how many of the remaining 24 counties will resist to the end?
You don't need to think about it, I'm afraid there are not many, after all, even Chang'an can't hold it, and they are short of soldiers and food, what's the point of holding it?

"Governor, there are still [-] troops in Chang'an City, and there is sufficient food and grass, enough to last for two years. The cost of storming Chang'an is too high, and the general thinks that Chang'an should not be stormed." Gongsun Xuanyuan said.

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Liao, Lu Bu and other generals all cast strange glances at Xuanyuan. After all, they just joined forces under the city of Chang'an, and the morale of the whole army was at its peak, but you, Xuanyuan, said that you can't attack Chang'an by force?Isn't this pouring cold water on one's own people?

Seeing this, Huo Qubing hurried forward to pull Xuanyuan back. After all, Xuanyuan is now his subordinate, and Xuanyuan's words also represent him to a certain extent.

"Oh?"

Li Jing looked at Xuanyuan, and asked with a faint smile, "I don't know what opinion General Xuanyuan has?"

Huo Qubing had no choice but to let go, and cast a self-seeking look at Xuanyuan, but Xuanyuan said seriously: "The four major gates in Guanzhong, the north and south gates were all opened up by our army.

As long as the two major gates of the east and the west are taken down, the entire Guanzhong can be completely sealed off, and the Tang army can catch the turtle in the urn.

Therefore, the last general thought that instead of storming Chang'an, it is better to take Tongguan and Dashanguan first, completely blockade the entire Guanzhong Plain, and then slowly process the Tang army in the pass. "

As soon as Xuanyuan's words came out, the whole hall fell into silence.

Although they don't think they can't attack Chang'an, the cost must be huge, after all there are still [-] defenders in the city.

But Xuanyuan's proposal undoubtedly opened a new door for everyone. After all, if Tongguan and Sanguan are captured first, the entire Guanzhong Plain will be completely sealed off, and the Tang army will also be completely isolated and infinite.

At that time, the Qin army will be able to drag the Tang army to death even if it is delayed, and maybe even force all the Tang army to surrender, so as to achieve the goal of catching turtles in the urn and surrendering the soldiers without fighting. Isn't it better.

Thinking of this moment, all the generals cast admiring glances at Xuanyuan, and thought to themselves: You are indeed the No. 1 general in Youzhou, and you really deserve your reputation.

Xuanyuan continued: "There are still [-] elite troops in the Hangu camp to the east of Tongguan, and we only need to divide [-] troops from Chang'an. Under the attack from both sides, Tongguan will definitely be captured.

As for the big Sanguan, there are some troubles.

If you want to win Sanguan, you must first go to Chencang, and Li Siyuan has already entered Chencang. "

The reason why Xuanyuan offered such an urgent plan to seize the four passes and seal off the pass was because of Li Siyuan.

After the battle at Wuzhangyuan, Li Shimin hastily ordered Li Siyuan to withdraw to Huaili, where Youfufeng ruled, and presided over the entire Youfufeng anti-Qin affairs without much thought.

Li Siyuan did the same thing in the beginning, honestly leading his army back to Huaili, it was this behavior that made Huo Qubing let him go.

From Huo Qubing's point of view, there is almost no danger to defend Huaili except for the city. Li Siyuan's retreat into Huaili is equivalent to finding a coffin for himself, so he ignored him and went after Li Shimin with all his strength.

Li Siyuan also saw that Huaili was not a place to guard for a long time, but he was worried that Huo Qubing would divide his troops to chase him, so he deliberately led the army to retreat to Huaili first to reduce Huo Qubing's attention to him. Halfway diverted and retreated to Chencang, and sent troops to take over the defense of Dashan Pass.
