The strongest Luo Chengzhi swept the world

Chapter 527 Conspiring to Tongguan (Second update, please subscribe)

If there is no Xu Maogong here, Luo Cheng will naturally choose to make the decision alone.

After all, even if he asked Cheng Yaojin and others, it was impossible to come up with a definite method.

But Xu Maogong is different, as long as Luo Cheng asks for advice, he can basically come up with a countermeasure.

Although Xu Maogong may not have the same idea as Luo Cheng, but if he knows more about things, he will never go wrong.

If Xu Maogong's strategy is better, it would be great, saving Luo Cheng a lot of trouble.

So Luo Cheng didn't think too much, and said with a hearty smile: "If the military master has a countermeasure, it's okay to be frank. Luo Cheng is not a person who cares about every detail, and I hope the military master can enlighten me."

Xu Maogong knew that Luo Cheng was indeed sincerely asking, so he nodded and said: "Since the son wants to know what is in the heart of the humble official, let the humble official put it here for a while, how about we both write it in the palm of our hand?"

When Luo Cheng heard this, he suddenly burst out laughing. Unexpectedly, Xu Maogong came again.

But this is not a big problem, on the contrary, it makes it more interesting, Luo Cheng nodded in agreement, and said: "I never thought that the military division would be so interesting, so Luo Cheng will try it with the military division."

After saying that, Luo Cheng asked someone to fetch pen and ink, and wrote the countermeasures in his palm.

This is a bit like in the Three Kingdoms, Kong Ming and Zhou Yu's countermeasures are obviously much higher.

Not long after, both of them finished writing. Luo Cheng glanced at Xu Maogong, and said in a deep voice, "The countermeasures have been written in the palm of your hand. Later, Luo Cheng and the military division will open it together, and we will see the result."

Luo Cheng and Xu Maogong looked at each other, and spread their palms apart. Both of them had few handwritings. After comparison, they were unexpectedly the same, with only the word 'Tongguan' on them.

Seeing Tongguan in Luo Cheng's palm, Xu Maogong sighed and said: "Your Majesty is indeed talented and intelligent, and he is exactly what the humble official thought. The place where this breaks the game is Tongguan."

Luo Cheng smiled, and said: "The military adviser is very impressed. Since you and I have the same idea, let the military adviser explain in detail how to deal with it, so that we can win by surprise."

Regarding Luo Cheng's request, Xu Maogong naturally would not refuse. He nodded slightly and said: "The purpose of the prince is to push into Daxing City. Although Luoyang is its frontier position, it is not impossible to bypass it."

"After all, Luoyang City is different from Sishui Pass. It has a wide area, and the prince can lead troops to raid Tongguan. Tongguan is Daxing's last line of defense. Once Tongguan is breached, Daxing will have to face the enemy head-on."

Xu Maogong said confidently: "However, it is predictable that Li Yuan will not allow the prince to lead a surprise attack. Today's Tongguan must be heavily guarded, and it is not so easy to break through."

"According to the idea of ​​a humble position, if the son wants to raid Tongguan, he must first lead people to storm Luoyang City, in order to divert the enemy's attention, and send elite raids while the enemy is not on guard."

"As for attacking the city with elite soldiers, extraordinary soldiers can complete it. Only the Xiaolong army under the command of the son will surely be able to catch the enemy by surprise, and it will be no problem to win Tongguan when the time comes."

Xu Maogong talked eloquently, and Luo Cheng understood it.

Although these were said by Xu Maogong, they did coincide with Luo Cheng's thoughts.

Luo Cheng smiled and said: "What the military adviser said is exactly what Luo Cheng thought."

"Although Luoyang City can contain our army's advance, it cannot be foolproof. As long as Tongguan can be taken, Luoyang is meaningless. After all, once the defense line is opened, it will no longer be complete."

……

After retreating from Sishuiguan, Li Shimin led his troops to Luoyang.

After several days of marching like this, Li Shimin finally led his troops to Luoyang, and joined forces with Li Xiaogong's army that also retreated back.

Li Xiaogong was a little embarrassed when he saw Li Shimin.

If he hadn't led troops to support him, but instead had been ambushed by the Xiaolong Army, Sishui Pass might not have been breached so easily.

Strictly speaking, Li Xiaogong's behavior is the so-called doing bad things with good intentions.

Not to mention the failure to bring 10,000+ people to support, it even ruined the Sishui Pass.I don't know what expression and reaction Li Yuan will have after hearing the news.

The general who was selected quietly by himself eventually became a cheating teammate.

What angered the second general Yin Kaishan the most was that he led his troops out to respond, but Li Xiaogong still chose to retreat.

This behavior of selling teammates is too coquettish!
Fortunately, Li Shimin is a reasonable person, he understood the situation Li Xiaogong was in at that time.

It can only be said that Luo Cheng is scheming, but Li Xiaogong cannot be blamed.

Although Sishui Pass was lost, fortunately there was no problem in Luoyang City.

As long as Luoyang and Tongguan are still there, they can completely curb the enemy's advance.

These two points of defense acted like corners, forming Daxing's line of defense.

After gathering the army, Li Shimin clearly knew how much the loss in the battle of Sishuiguan was.

Of the 15 troops led by Li Xiaogong back then, only 10 returned.A total of [-] troops were buried under the charge of the Xiaolong army. This casualty ratio is already extremely high.

After all, Yao Ping did not lead the Xiaolong army to chase them to death, but just fought on the battlefield, causing such a huge loss, which is really unbelievable and unbelievable.

As for the 7 troops under Li Shimin's command, after repeated battles, the loss was lower than Li Xiaogong's. If they return to Luoyang, there are still [-] troops, which is really a fluke.

Counting the 22 troops in Luoyang City, Li Shimin now has [-] troops under his command. Although it is still not as large as the coalition forces, they are already capable of fighting.

However, Li Shimin will never be fooled again after suffering from the loss of Xiaolong Army.

Even if he has 20 soldiers under his command, the best choice is to stick to Luoyang City. If he has to go out and fight against it, Li Xiaogong is a lesson from the past, and he has a deep memory!

There are soldiers and horses, but the most important thing now is how to deal with the enemy army that is coming with a big victory.

Li Shimin summoned all the generals to discuss, and found Li Jing, this handsome young man with extraordinary conversation, which instantly attracted Li Shimin's attention.

After talking, Li Shimin quickly confirmed that this Li Jing was unusual.

It's a talent!

Faced with Li Shimin's many doubts, Li Jing quickly reminded that although their large army was stationed in Luoyang City, the enemy might still plot Tongguan, so they should send someone to warn the Tongguan defenders.

Li Shimin took it very seriously, and immediately sent someone to inform the Tongguan defenders to strengthen their vigilance, so as not to be taken advantage of by the enemy.

In addition to these, what the two talked about was naturally how to defend Luoyang City.

So Li Shimin and Li Jing started a discussion on the defense of the city and how to deal with emergencies.

After this conversation, Li Shimin was very happy.

It's really boring to discuss with rude people like Yin Kaishan and Duan Zhixuan.

If you want to discuss the strategy of using troops and marching, you still have to be with Li Jing.

Although he experienced a big defeat, Li Shimin quickly felt relieved when he found that Li Jing was such a genius who could make friends with him.
