Dajin royal family

Chapter 616

Liang Guojun and his ministers did not receive news of Chen Guo's change, but soon after, they received news from the frontline troops delivering food to Xu Guo.

Nanyang County and Juyang County fell, and Luyang Pass was captured by the Northern Jin army. They had lost the channel to deliver grain to Xu.

In other words, with the fall of Luyang Pass, Liang Guo and Xu Guo have been completely cut off, and it has become a luxury to support Xu Guo.In the long run, Xu Guo has been surrounded by the Northern Jin Dynasty.

At this point, Xiao Tong and his ministers had a complete understanding of what the Northern Jin Dynasty had planned so far.Cut off the connection between Xu Guo and Liang Guo, and trapped Xu Guo to death in Henan County.

"Jiang Chengxiao decided that Xu Guo's food and grass would be unsustainable, so he sent soldiers and horses to capture Luyang Pass, just to make it impossible for us to support Xu Guo, so that we can defeat others without fighting." Cen Zhenben said with a sad face: "At present, there are three Chen soldiers in the Northern Jin Dynasty, Tongguan, Sishuiguan, and Luyangguan. Xu Guo has lost the channel for our support and can only fight alone. The minister guessed that Jiang Chengxiao was planning to trap Xu Guo to death. Xu Guo ran out of food and grass, causing turmoil, and then took Luoyang in one fell swoop."

Xiao Tong's face was gloomy and ugly. They guessed again and again, but they all guessed wrong.At first, I felt that the Northern Jin Dynasty wanted to attack the east and attack the west, attacking the state of Xu and moving the state of Liang secretly, but later found that something was wrong.Then he guessed whether the Northern Jin Dynasty had secretly formed an alliance with Chen Guo, but the result was wrong again.

Up to now, the Northern Jin Dynasty took Luyang Pass by surprise, and they lost contact with Luoyang.

"Where did the Northern Jin army at Luyang Pass come from?" Xiao Tong was puzzled and said, "It stands to reason that the Northern Jin army gathered at Sishui Pass and Tong Pass, so where did the troops come from and deployed at Luyang Pass?" ?”

Zhang Xuan pondered for a while and guessed: "If I guess correctly, one of the Sishui Pass and Tong Pass must be fake."

"Fake?" Xiao Tong stared at Zhang Xuan, "What do you mean?"

Zhang Xuan explained: "First of all, what can be confirmed is that the number of soldiers and horses that can be used in the Northern Jin Dynasty is about 30. If according to the information Xu Guo told us, there are hundreds of thousands of troops at Tongguan and Sishui Pass, then Luyang Pass will appear. The Northern Jin Army is somewhat unreasonable."

"According to the information sent earlier, there are at least [-] Northern Jin troops at Luyang Pass, which means that there must be a place between Tongguan and Sishui Pass that does not have as many Northern Jin soldiers as expected. According to previous information, Tongguan has repeatedly Sending troops to attack Guan Township has returned in vain, and I suspect that there should not be hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in Tongguan."

"The [-] Northern Jin troops that appeared at Luyang Pass were most likely transferred from Tongguan, and went south from Wuguan to enter Nanyang directly. Because Yu Wenshu had already been dispatched to defend against Tongguan and Sishui Pass, so This time the Northern Jin army was able to take Luyang Pass in one fell swoop, without any hindrance."

Xiao Tong gritted his teeth and said, "That means we were all played by Jiang Chengxiao."

Cen Zhenben and Zhang Xuan remained silent, feeling powerless from the bottom of their hearts.

They all guessed that the best route for the Northern Jin Dynasty to attack Xu State was to march through Tongguan, but no one thought that Jiang Chengxiao would play tricks on them again. all of them.

Previously, the northern Jin army at Sishuiguan had launched a fierce offensive. They thought it was a bait, and it was to involve Xu's troops and relieve the main force of Tongguan from attacking.But in fact, there is no main force in Tongguan. Jiang Chengxiao's main purpose is to focus all their attention on Tongguan, so that a surprise army can take down Luyang Pass, and completely cut off the connection between Xu Guo and Liang Guo.

It can be said that it was the Northern Jin Dynasty who wanted to invade Henan County.

But now Xu Guo must get through Luyang Pass, reconnect with Liang Guo, and then obtain food and grass supplies.

Offensive and defensive transformation!

After this series of operations, Xiao Tong and his ministers felt a chill from the bottom of their hearts.They had no way of guessing the strategic goal of the Northern Jin Dynasty at all, and walked into the trap set up by the Northern Jin Dynasty step by step invisibly, unable to extricate themselves.

"What if I send troops to attack Luyang Pass?" Xiao Tong said.

He has a deep sense of crisis now, and this feeling of being out of control is too bad.According to the plan of the Northern Jin Dynasty, Xu Guo will definitely collapse without attacking.

Xu Guo was defeated, who will resist the Northern Jin Dynasty for Liang Guo?

Cen Zhenben shook his head, "You can give it a try, but I don't recommend aggressive attacks."

"Why?"

"Your Majesty, Jiang Chengxiao made such an arrangement. He must have thought that at this time, I would attack Luyang Pass and support Xu Guo. How could he not have arranged a second mover? If my guess is correct, once I send troops to the court, Li of Badong County will The pharmacist will definitely take action."

Xiao Tong paused, he forgot about Li Yaoshi.

"Then what should we do now, wait for Xu Guo to collapse?" Xiao Tong's face was extremely ugly, his fists were clenched tightly, and his nails turned white.

Cen, Zhen and Ben fell silent.

Xiao Tong said: "Now Yu Wenshu must also know the strategy of the Northern Jin Dynasty. If he dispatches the army to go south to Luyang Pass, will he have a chance to recapture Luyang Pass?"

Zhang Xuan said conservatively: "I don't like such an action, but this is the only way."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Tong frowned, what time is this, and he still speaks in such a secret way that people can guess.

Zhang Xuan explained: "Your Majesty, if the Northern Jin Dynasty is delayed for one more day, Xu Guo's food and grass will be consumed for one more day. Luyang Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Only by attacking it ten times can it be taken in a short time. But the problem is If the army is sent south, what will happen to Sishui Pass and Tong Pass?"

"There are [-] troops from the Northern Jin Dynasty at Sishuiguan, and [-] troops at Tongguan. How can Yu Wenshu dispatch the army to the south to resist the attack of the Northern Jin army on the frontal battlefield?"

After Zhang Xuan finished speaking, Xiao Tong's face turned pale.

After all the calculations, it turns out that Xu Guo's situation is over.

Tongguan, Sishuiguan, and Luyangguan, the three passes, completely blocked the way out for Xu Guo.If Xu Guo didn't fight, he could only be slowly consumed to death.If you fight, there is little hope.

Is this your plan, my good nephew.

Xiao Tong's heart was cold, such an enemy really made people feel powerless.

"But if we don't fight, we will be next." Xiao Tong's eyes twitched.

Cen Zhenben and Zhang Xuan naturally knew the stakes. Xu Guo fell, how could Liang Guo resist the Northern Jin Dynasty?

"Your Majesty, let's send troops and try to attack Luyang Pass. This road must be opened, otherwise Xu Guo is in danger." Zhang Xuan suggested.

Cen Zhenben said: "In addition, I suggest that Your Majesty keep a close eye on Li Yaoshi in Badong County, in case he takes the opportunity to attack Nan County."

Xiao Tong nodded, at this time there was no way out, he had to fight.

If there is no fight, Xu Guo will be gone, and Liang Guo will also be finished.

Henan County, Luoyang.

Yu Wenshu is naturally not a fool for what Liang Guojun and his ministers have seen through.

Ever since the news of the fall of Luyang Pass came, Yu Wenshu's brain seemed to have been hit by a heavy hammer, and the sound of 'buzzing' echoed in his mind.

How could this be?
Isn't the main force of the Northern Jin Dynasty in Tongguan?
Aren't they going to march through Tongguan?
Why did it appear in Nanyang County, and why did it take down Luyang Pass in Juyang County?

All of these, gathered on the "Map of the Central Plains", Yu Wenshu saw that he was surrounded by the Northern Jin Dynasty.

Completely rounded.

There is a big river in the north, Tongguan in the west, Sishuiguan in the east, and Luyangguan in the south.

He was actually surrounded by the Northern Jin Dynasty!

This is simply ridiculous, who is beating whom?
Who is going to break into Henan County?
In a blink of an eye, it turned out that he was about to break out.

He knew very well that if he did not have Liang Guo's food and grass support, the food and grass of the 40 army would not be able to last for too long.

In other words, he must get through Luyang Pass and regain contact with Liang Guo.

Otherwise, it will be against the evil bird's will, and his wish will be destroyed by itself.

"What a vicious bird!" Yu Wenshu slapped the desk, his eyes were blood red.

At this time, he yelled: "Send a message to Taiyuan, what's going on with them, why don't they know anything about Luyang Pass!"

He was going crazy, obviously the news said that the Northern Jin Dynasty's heavy troops were stationed at Tongguan, but it was Luyangguan that actually did the work.

He felt cheated.

"Yes." The servant trembled and left quickly.

At this moment, Xu Yixin and Ge Qiu both rushed to the Imperial Study Room after receiving the news.

"You two lovers, what should we do now?" Yu Wenshu's voice was very low, and his momentum was no longer as domineering as before.

Xu Yixin and Ge Qiu already knew the ins and outs of the matter on the way here, but at this moment, they didn't know what to do.

"Your Majesty, now we should find a way to recapture Luyang Pass and reconnect with Liang Guo. This is the top priority." Xu Yixin said.

"How many soldiers and horses do you think should be sent there?"

Ge Qiu said: "This matter cannot be dragged on. The sooner we regain Luyang Pass, our crisis will be alleviated."

The unspoken meaning is that the more the better.

Yu Wenshu understood, this is similar to what he thought, Luyang Pass cannot be lost.If the three armies do not have food and grass supplies, that is the most terrible thing.
