Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 368 Don't go to Luoyang
On Jinping Mountain, Dong Xian frowned as he looked at the endless golden camp below the mountain.After a long time, he scolded: "Zhi Niang, the Jin army originally attacked Lushi County, what has it to do with me? They couldn't attack, so they came here to provoke me, it's really bad luck!"

Zhang Qi beside him said: "Lushi is surrounded by mountains on all sides, the road is difficult, but it is easier to go up the Luohe River. Didn't the Jin army come here? Don't worry, Shou'an has a dangerous terrain. It’s just a delusion to go here!”

Dong Xiandao: "My land here is small, my household registration is small, and there are naturally not many soldiers and horses. How can I compare with Wang Xiaolie in Dengzhou? The Jin army is coming to attack. I don't know how many people will be lost in this battle." Speaking of this, He sighed heavily, resentful.

Wang Yi on the other side said: "Meng Bangxiong of Yong'an is just a village rogue, who gathered thousands of people to claim the throne. When Liu Yu ascended the throne, he immediately raised his flag to respond, and now he is staying behind in Xijing. If our battle is difficult, we can also pretend to surrender. Liu Yu, first earn some money and food to use."

Dong Xian glanced at Wang Yi, and said coldly: "Who am I? How can I do the thing of admitting a thief and being my father!"

Wang Yidao: "A few days ago, Wang Xiaolie recruited Lu's to observe the past and discuss matters. The observation did not go, I was afraid that he would be upset. Now that the Jin army is attacking, if there is no strong reinforcement, it will be difficult to defend. The most powerful force in this area is Wang. Night hunting, observation made him sick again."

Dong Xian's face sank like water, and he didn't speak, just staring at the Jinjun camp at the foot of the mountain.

Zhang Qi said: "Yiyang is located between mountains and rivers, and the place where the Jin army is arrayed in front of the city is small, so why be afraid of them! Tomorrow I will go out of the city and have a battle with the Jin army, to see what they can do!"

Dong Xian sighed: "I'm not afraid of the Jin army, it's just that my troops are limited and I don't want to waste them here. Our army is stationed in the Luo River Valley, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if a hundred thousand Jin troops come, why should I be afraid! It's just that now that the Jin army has occupied Guanzhong, the officers and soldiers have fled, and many surrounding areas have become unowned. If you don't take advantage of this time, occupy some areas and expand your power, how can it be a man!"

After hearing this, Zhang Qi had no choice but to shut up and stop talking.

Since Dong Xian became the former commander of Zhai Xing's army, he must strive to be the first in every battle, and he has made countless contributions, which is why he has achieved today's status.However, Wang Xiaolie started with hundreds of people, occupied several states in a few years, and had tens of thousands of troops under him, which greatly stimulated Dong Xian.He clearly remembered that when he met Wang Xiaolie in Luoyang City a few years ago, that boyish but firm voice.

Wang Xiaolie is younger than him, started his career later than him, has fewer troops than him, and is no better at fighting than him.After a few years, how did you achieve what you are today?Dong Xian couldn't figure it out, nor was he convinced.In the eyes of Dong Xian, the defeat of the Song army in Fuping was a rare opportunity.A few years ago, didn't Wang Xiaolie follow Yang Jin's troops into the Xiangyang mansion, and then soared into the sky?As long as you occupy the territory, you have everything.

The wind blows with a biting coolness.The cold wind blew on the nearby pine trees, whimpering.The sun was hiding behind the clouds, and the sky looked gray.In the winter morning, the top of the mountain is freezing cold, only the Luo River below the mountain is covered with mist.

Wang Ruohai, Lu's county government office, roasted his hands on the fire, and said: "Wu Shu led the main force of the Jin army to leave Guozhou and go to Luoyang. I want to attack Dong Xian first, and go upstream along the Luo River to attack Lu." With the help of Luohe, it is much more convenient to transport food and grass there, suitable for large army operations. Dong Xian only has [-] soldiers and horses, and it is not easy to block Wushu."

Zhai Xing said: "Wu Shu went to Luoyang, the best way is to attack the rear. I am from Yiyang, Wang Zhenfu is from Ruzhou, and attack Luoyang!"

Li Yanxian nodded: "It's better to be like this. Dong Xian is our east barrier, if there is a mistake, Lu's will be difficult to defend."

Wang Xiaolie looked at the map on the table and didn't speak for a long time.If the battlefield is moved from Lushi to Luoyang, the geographical advantage will be lost.

After a long time, Li Yanxian asked: "Zhen Fu, you have tens of thousands of troops in Ruzhou. If you attack Luoyang, Wu Shu can't ignore it. In this way, Dong Xian's siege will be relieved, and the Lu family will be safe."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Lu's surroundings are surrounded by mountains, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. To defend here, one thousand of our soldiers can be used as ten thousand soldiers. If the battlefield is moved to Luoyang to fight against the Jin army, we will lose the advantage of the land first. Overall, Said that our current army is less than the Jin army, and the money and food are not rich. It can be said that we are using our own weaknesses to attack the other's strengths. This kind of thing is better not to be done unless it is absolutely necessary."

Wang Ruohai nodded: "What Zhenfu said is true. Niu Gao's [-] troops in Ruzhou have more than enough rules, but not enough to attack. The risk of abandoning the city and going to fight the Jin army is too great. If there is a loss, Ruzhou If not, the north of Dengzhou will be wide open."

Zhai Xing glanced at Li Yanxian, the two shook their heads and stopped talking.

The strength of the three is 6000 in Zhai Xingwu, and Li Yanxian is now less than [-], and the main force is Wang Xiaolie.Wang Xiaolie didn't want to fight like this, and the two of them had no choice.However, what Wang Xiaolie said was right, now is not the time for a decisive battle with the Jin army.Wushu's elite cavalry has been reduced by half, but the number of servants it brings has increased several times, making it even more difficult to deal with than it was a few months ago.

After a long time, Wang Xiaolie said: "If you want to save Dong Xian, it is better to attack Guozhou than Luoyang!"

Zhai Xing and Li Yanxian were stunned for a moment, and said together: "The road to Guozhou is difficult, and there are Jin troops blocking it, how can we attack?"

Wang Xiaolie pointed to the map and said: "The one guarding Guozhou now is Wei Yi, the new governor of Guozhou from the Jin Army. There are about 2000 people in Huoshan Pass, and about 5000 people in Guozhou. The rest are scattered around, robbing food and grass. These are either the officers and soldiers who fled from Fuping during World War I, or the idlers recruited by Wei Yi from Guanzhong, they can be said to be mobs. As long as our army arrives at the city of Guozhou, Guozhou will be at your fingertips!"

"Guozhou?" Li Yanxian walked quickly to the table, looked at the map, and frowned.

After a long time, Li Yanxian said: "From Guozhou to Lushi, there is only one way to go through Huoshan Pass. It is difficult for the Jin army to attack, but it is much easier to defend. It should not be easy for us to counterattack."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Wei Yi was originally an idler, and he usually caused disasters for the village. Since he was a local big family, no one paid attention to him. After joining the Jin army, he took thousands of people and became a general. This kind of person , I don’t believe his army has any fighting power. General Xuan will counterattack from Huoshan Pass, as long as the attack is fierce and the first battle is won, Wei Yi’s army is likely to collapse!”

Having said that, Wang Xiaolie straightened up and looked at everyone.He said: "When we captured Guozhou, Wushu must come back from Luoyang. At that time, we waited for work and fought with him. If the situation was unfavorable, we would just withdraw from Guozhou. The Jin army went to Luoyang in vain, waiting for him It should be spring when we come back. In this way, we not only defended the Lu family, but also dragged down the Jin army."

Li Yanxian slammed his hand: "It makes sense! There are too many uncontrollable things to attack Luoyang from Ruzhou and expand the war. If we attack Guozhou, everything is under control! After regaining Guozhou, let's see how the Jin army will do." !"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Now the Jin army Eriduo leads the troops towards Fengxiang, attacking in the direction of Qinzhou. Dutong Wanyanhuonu is heading towards Jingyuan and Lanzhou. Wushu leads the troops to defend the pass and attack us. If we capture Guozhou and isolate Wushu in Luoyang, it will definitely cause shock to the Jin army!"

After hearing this, several people couldn't help being shocked.What Wang Xiaolie said was right, the capture of Guozhou shocked Shaanxi, which is a great achievement.
