My players are all actors

Chapter 301 Wonderful Conspiracy
After trying a few more times, Li Hongyun finally got the talent of "Skillful Bow and Horse".

This is the talent of the D-level golden enhanced version, and it is also the talent that can best make up for Li Hongyun's lack of personal combat power.

Of course, the statement of high EQ is "trying a few times", and the statement of low EQ is that he was beaten several times by King Qin.

Li Hongyun wanted to make a fuss around the fact that King Qin liked to personally bring a small number of cavalry to investigate. He wanted to try to ambush, or send some brave generals to chase and intercept, but all ended in failure.

because……

All the methods he could think of, those enemies of the King of Qin in history, naturally also thought of them.

Especially for the behemoth of East Turks, their cavalry can't get cheap when they meet King Qin's cavalry, not to mention Dou Jiande's cavalry is far inferior to East Turks.

In history, many people feel sorry for Dou Jiande, thinking that if he was not born in the early years of the Liang Dynasty, but in the end of the Liang Dynasty or other chaotic times, he might have become a hero of the generation.

And Hulaoguan's gift of heads from thousands of miles away also changed Dou Jiande's historical image from a hero who started in a reckless, courteous corporal, and achieved certain political and economic achievements, to a typical character who played a good hand and played poorly.

But in fact, Dou Jiande is not wronged.

Because if you want to talk about injustice, there is another East Turkic Jieli Khan who is even more injustice than him.

In short, Li Hongyun's attempt in this direction failed.

King Qin dared to lead dozens of cavalry into battle, not because he was blindly reckless or taking risks, but because he had calculated all risks.

In fact, there are quite a few people who imitated King Qin, such as his nephew King Huaiyang, who often imitated his behavior of leading dozens of cavalry to charge into battle.

In the battle of Hulaoguan, the king of Huaiyang County made great contributions in the process of defeating Dou Jiande. He rushed back and forth in the army several times, and finally even survived after being shot into a hedgehog.

However, if you play too much, you will get rid of it.

During the crusade against Liu Heita, the young Huaiyang County King played another charge and died in the wave.

The king of Qin was very sad when he heard about it, and said: "He often followed me to fight everywhere. Every time he saw me charge into battle, he was very envious and wanted to follow suit. That's why today's disaster happened!"

It can be seen that King Qin clearly saw the risks of his charge.He was not a brainless reckless man, he made such a decision precisely when he was sure that he would be able to escape unscathed.

One of the most important points is insight.

King Qin led dozens of cavalry to watch the opponent's situation, and he could accurately judge the opponent's strength. He would fight when he needed to fight, and retreat when he needed to retreat. Only when the two sides were in a stalemate, he would rush out to fight for his life.

Therefore, Li Hongyun laid down the ambush several times, but they were basically seen through. King Qin turned around and left before the ambush was encircled.

But when Li Hongyun was chasing after him, accidents would happen if he didn't pay attention.

After recognizing this point, Li Hongyun decided to change direction.

First of all, stick to the camp and strictly order the soldiers not to pursue the provocation of the King of Qin.

Of course, this caused a lot of opposition in the army, but it didn't matter, because Dou Jiande's prestige was very high at this time, and he could still suppress the group of people under him.

King Qin brought dozens of cavalry to explore the terrain, so let him investigate, it is better than sending thousands of cavalry out.

After ensuring safety, Li Hongyun immediately called the generals to discuss the matter.

"What do you think about the recent war, you can speak freely."

Li Hongyun glanced over the many generals under his command.

Especially Liu Heita, who he had paid attention to before, stayed for a while longer.

Soon, the generals began to express their thoughts.

Some generals were short-tempered at first glance, and suggested to attack Hulao Pass immediately, break through the city in one go, and break the siege of Luoyang.

Some generals believed that they should hold a stalemate for the time being, and then make a move after ascertaining the truth and reality.

Li Hongyun questioned each general from the perspective of the king of Qin after each general proposed a plan, but the result was that the other party was often speechless.

Obviously, neither of these methods works well.

A massive attack on Hulao Pass?
Hulao Pass is a majestic pass with a very prominent terrain.It is located in the gap between two high loess slopes, but Liang Jun couldn't hold on, and his combat effectiveness was very strong.

It is very difficult to chew hard.

If he could really gnaw it down, then in history, Dou Jiande would not hesitate for so long before doing it.

And a long-term confrontation and stalemate is obviously not acceptable.

Because judging from the situation at this time, Dou Jiande's side is the side with even tighter logistics.If it goes on, it will be beneficial to Liang Jun.

What's more, the city of Luoyang is already in danger. The city has been starving for a long time, and it may fall at any time.If Luoyang fell after waiting and waiting, wouldn't Dou Jiande's trip be in vain?
Not to mention that everyone in Dou Jiande's army at this time believed that it was impossible for a [-] army to fight against thousands of people, and it was impossible for them to lose.

Such a negative strategy may not be convincing to the public.

At this moment, a man who looked like a counselor spoke.

"I believe that our army should lead the army across the Yellow River to capture Heyang in Huaizhou, then cross the Taihang Mountains, enter Shangdang, and then cross Hukou and Pujin to take over the land east of the river.

"This is the best strategy, and it has three benefits: one is to enter the land of no one, and the master will be perfect; the other is to expand the land and get soldiers; the third is to relieve the siege of Luoyang by itself."

This time, Li Hongyun did not respond immediately.

Because he knows that a very important IF line in history is in front of him at this time.

This man who looks like a counselor is called Ling Jing, and his words are indeed recorded in the history books.

At that time, Dou Jiande's army came to Hulao Pass and saw that Hulao Pass was dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was difficult to take it in a hurry, so Ling Jing proposed such a strategy.

This strategy, in simple terms, is to give up Hulaoguan and stop fighting, and instead go to Zhiguanxing, one of the eight Xings of the Taihang, to fight Hedong.

Then, using Hedong as a springboard, they attacked Guanzhong and even approached Chang'an.

This style of play is quite elegant in besieging Wei and saving Zhao.

Many people in later generations sighed because of this, thinking that Dou Jiande lost the possibility of fighting for hegemony because he did not listen to Ling Jing's strategy.

But if you think about it carefully, you will find that this method...in fact, there are many problems.

If Li Hongyun hadn't realized the relevant content, then he might directly agree with what Ling Jing said at this time, and follow this method to resolutely implement it.

In history, Dou Jiande really wanted to follow this method, but Wang Shichong's two envoys were also in the army at that time, and they came to Dou Jiande to cry day and night, and they bribed Dou Jiande's generals to ask them to fight unanimously. It created an illusion for Dou Jiande that "our army's morale is high", which made him not adopt Ling Jing's method.

At this time, Li Hongyun finally saw more clearly than Dou Jiande did back then, after clearing away layers of fog based on many analyzes by later generations.

He looked at Ling Jing and asked, "This plan is very good. But I have three questions, sir, please answer them."

Ling Jing hurriedly said, "Naturally."

Li Hongyun continued to ask: "First, if you want to cross Taihang and enter the Shangdang, you have to go through Zheguanxing. The reason why Zheguanxing got its name is because it is extremely narrow and can only accommodate one military vehicle at most.

"That is to say, the terrain of Zhiguanxing is much more dangerous than Hulaoguan.

"If our army can't break through Hulao Pass, why should we be able to break through Zhiguan Pass?

"Secondly, the Liang army has taken Hanoi from Taihang first, including Heyang and Huaizhou. It is enough to show that King Qin has thought of this a long time ago. Therefore, the Liang army defenders in Hedong must be on guard, and it is impossible to be unprepared.

"It is absolutely impossible for us to hide our tracks with an army of [-]. Therefore, Liang Jun can also reinforce Hedong in time.

"So it's still the same question, if our army can't pass Hulao Pass, why should we be able to pass the pass?

"Thirdly, this road has to bypass the Taihang Mountains, which is much farther than the Weihan Ancient Road, and it also needs to pass through Zhiguanxing. How can the army's logistics be guaranteed? Even if it goes well, I'm afraid that when we arrive at Shangdang, Luoyang will already be there. was captured.

"As soon as Wang Shichong died, Liang Jun had all the land around Luoyang. If we go east and cut off our food roads or send troops to Hebei, what should we do?"

Ling Jing froze for a moment: "This..."

He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I think that King Qin is the only one who is really difficult to deal with Liang Jun. Although the terrain of Zhiguanxing is more dangerous, it is not King Qin who is guarding after all.

"As for Wang Shichong... Luoyang Fortified City, if you stick to it for more than a month, it will be fine."

Li Hongyun looked at Ling Jing, and Ling Jing also looked at Li Hongyun.

Obviously, Ling Jing's strategy at this time is hiding some information, which cannot be disclosed in front of everyone, but Ling Jing thinks that Dou Jiande should understand.

Li Hongyun looked at Liu Heita among the generals: "General Liu, what do you think?"

Liu Heitai was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect Dou Jiande to ask his opinion.

After all, his status in the Xia army was not high at this time.

However, since he had this opportunity, he would not let it go.

"The final general thinks that this plan is feasible. However, it may not be appropriate for an army of [-] to go to Guanxing.

"It's better to divide the troops."

As soon as he finished speaking, some generals immediately objected.

"Divide troops? This is a taboo for military strategists!

"My [-] troops are assembled, and it is time to fight the Liang army to decide the outcome. How can we divide the troops?"

Li Hongyun fell into thinking.

At first glance, Liu Heita's idea of ​​dividing the troops is really not very feasible.

The [-] troops were all chopped up by the King of Qin, and if some of them were divided, wouldn't they only lose even worse?

But after comprehensive consideration, perhaps dividing troops is the best choice.

After all, Liu Heita is not a person who does not know soldiers, and his suggestion must be reasonable.

Speaking of Liu Heita, he is also quite legendary.

When he was young, he was a gangster, idle about and not doing business, and Dou Jiande helped him a lot.So once they came and went, the two became inseparable.

Later, the world was in chaos, and Liu Heita and Dou Jiande were displaced, each attached to a different force.Later, when Dou Jiande raised an army, Liu Heita was under Wang Shichong's command. He felt that Wang Shichong had no future, so he ran away with his subordinates and took refuge in Dou Jiande.

In the next few battles, Liu Heita showed good military talent, which made Dou Jiande think highly of it.

But this kind of importance is obviously not to the extent that he can be regarded as his right-hand man.

After all, Liu Heitai didn't have many chances to lead troops to fight independently at that time. Although he had military talents, he had not fully revealed them.

In the battle of Hulaoguan, Dou Jiande was pierced by a wave, and after being captured alive, he was beheaded in the downtown area.

Beheading Dou Jiande was definitely one of the stupidest decisions Liang Gaozu made.In fact, Dou Jiande wanted to kill him, but he shouldn't kill him right away, let alone so blatantly when he was causing trouble.

At least they should send someone to appease the whole of Hebei, and then kill them secretly.

As a result, Dou Jiande's death made everyone in his old tribes in Hebei feel insecure and revolted.

It stands to reason that Dou Jiande's [-] troops have already been dispatched, and the world has basically been pacified. These old ministries should not be able to make waves.

However, they were very lucky to meet Liu Heita, a military genius who was almost invincible under King Qin in this troubled world.

And the process of Liu Heikai's election was also outrageous. At that time, Dou Jiande's former officials planned to raise troops to rebel, but they couldn't think of someone to be the first bird, and they probably didn't want to take this hot potato.After all, the success rate of the rebellion at this time is very low. Once it fails, the culprit will definitely die, but the rest of the people may have room to survive.

So, they found an old Taoist priest to tell the fortune, and the result of the fortune-telling was that Mrs. Liu should be happy.

This group of people searched for a long time, and first found Liu Ya, Dou Jiande's former subordinate, but Liu Ya was determined not to rebel against them, so this group of people killed Liu Ya, continued to search, and found Liu Heita.

It can be seen from this that although Liu Heikai and Dou Jiande were fellow villagers before, they did not have a high status in Dou Jiande's army, otherwise they would not have been approached because of fortune-telling.

Then, Liu Heita was very happy, so he raised his troops.

Just over two months after the Battle of Hulaoguan, Liu Heita led an army of more than 100 people, and captured Zhangnan, Weizhou and other places in just over a month, and Dou Jiande's old troops joined him one after another.

Seeing Liu Heita's rebellion intensified, Liang Chao certainly couldn't sit still.

The King of Huaiyang County, who followed the King of Qin to defeat Dou Jiande at Hulao Pass, led [-] troops, and joined forces with Li Yi, the governor of Youzhou, to crusade.

Then, in the case of the flying dragon riding face, it lost.

So Liang Gaozu recruited Li Xiaochang, Li Shiji and others to continue to besiege Liu Heita.

Then, he was hanged and beaten again.

Especially this Li Shiji, he was Li Ji, a famous general of the generation at that time, who made great contributions to the wars against Eastern Turks, Xue Yantuo, and Goguryeo.

As a result, he was beaten by Liu Heitai "only with his own body".

Of course, Li Shiji is still in his infancy at this time, and Liu Heitai has home court advantage in Hebei after all.But in any case, Liu Heita's strength can be seen.

As for where King Qin is...

In fact, Liang Gaozu didn't want to send King Qin to fight anymore.

Because after King Qin captured the two kings in the battle of Hulao Pass, he was already Tiance Admiral and could not be sealed.

So Liang Gaozu thought about it, saying that this military merit could no longer be given to King Qin.

As a result, Liu Heita slapped the face severely with the facts.

Without the King of Qin, your huge Liang Kingdom really wouldn't be able to fight!
As a last resort, Liang Gaozu used King Qin again.

In the process of pacifying Liu Heita, King Qin never found a good solution, and even lost the general Luo Shixin.In the end, the King of Qin fought steadily and pressed hard step by step, and only then relied on the powerful national power of the Liang Dynasty to consume Liu Heita to death.

Since after more than two months, Liu Heitai played such a terrifying performance of "I am invincible under the King of Qin", then his military talent at this time must be higher than that of everyone present.

Back to Ling Jing's proposal.

On the surface, this proposal is to encircle Wei and save Zhao, but it is not.

The three questions Li Hongyun asked were exactly the three dead ends of this proposal.

Ling Jing's route was not a new one, it was originally one of the three main routes into Guanzhong.

Since ancient times, there are three main roads to enter Guanzhong: the first is the North Henan Passage, which is the road that Ling Jing said to go through the Guanxing Road; the second is the Weihan Ancient Road, which is now from Hulao Pass to Luoyang, and then Enter through Hangu Pass and Tongguan from Luoyang; the third is Wuguan Road, that is, starting from Xiangyang, going through Wuguan, Shangluo, Lantian and then to Chang'an.

There are other routes, but they are too far away.

Among these three roads, Wuguan Road is absolutely impossible to walk, because Wuguan Road is the most steep, and even two horses cannot run side by side at the narrowest point.

And Zhiguan Xing is not too strong, the reason why it is called Zhiguan is precisely because it can only accommodate one military vehicle to pass by.

In comparison, Hulao Pass is considered the best route, after all, it is much wider than Zhi Pass and Wu Pass.

You can't beat Hulao Pass, so why go to Zhe Pass?
What's more, the road proposed by Ling Jing can't reach Luoyang at all.

This road has to take the Taihang Mountains to Shangdang, and then gradually take over half of Hedong from Shangdang, and finally go to Pujin to attack Chang'an.

Between Chang'an and Luoyang, there is an extremely long distance between Tongguan and Hanguguan.When Dou Jiande threatened Chang'an, the grass on Wang Shichong's grave was already ten feet high.

It is no wonder that Wang Shichong's envoys cried every day, because if Dou Jiande turned to fight Hedong, it would mean that Wang Shichong would undoubtedly die.

This is also an important reason why Dou Jiande did not choose this plan in the end.

So, would Ling Jing not understand these things?
Of course he understands.

So, on the surface, this is a plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and it sounds like saying: "We can't break through Hulao Pass, then we will attack Chang'an in a detour and let Liang Jun go back to rescue, so the siege of Luoyang can be solved. "

But in fact, this is saying: "Don't worry about Wang Shichong, he is dead! It's pointless for us to waste time here in Hulaoguan. If we can't beat him, it will be a waste of time. Why don't we take advantage of Wang Shichong's siege now?" Luoyang has attracted the main force of the Liang army, let's grab the territory in the east of the river!"

As for whether Hedong can grab it?

Afterwards analysis of this matter, although the success rate is not high, it does exist.

The success rate is not high because Liang Jun has already taken precautions, and he will definitely strictly defend the route of Zhiguan.With the army unable to deploy, the prospect of capturing Zhiguan is not very optimistic.

Moreover, once Dou Jiande withdraws, perhaps Wang Shichong will surrender soon, and he may not be able to hold Liang Jun for a long time.

However, after all, it is not the main force of the Liang army, let alone the invincible King Qin, who guards the river east.As for Dou Jiande going to fight Hedong, there may be a certain possibility of success.

Although this possibility is not high, but...

No matter how bad the result is, it can't be worse than the one hundred thousand army being defeated by King Qin in the first battle at Hulao Pass.

After comprehensive consideration, Li Hongyun said to Liu Heitai: "You personally choose [-] elite soldiers, as the commander-in-chief, go to Zhiguanxing to fight Hedong! If it goes well, you will threaten Pujindu and deter Chang'an.

"This king personally leads the army to confront King Qin at Hulao Pass!"
