Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 811 Emperor Qin wields a sword with the intention of King Tang

Fan Yang also had the emperor's two royal guards, and outside Yanshan, there were Hu soldiers from various feudal vassals.

Luo Cheng laughed a few times.

"Pei Sanlang and Lai Liulang really gave me a great surprise. If God does not take it, you will be blamed. I summoned the three commanders to get you ready. This time, our Great Qin will go to war again. "

However, the next direction of the emperor's troops surprised the three commanders, because the emperor said that in Henan, he had appointed Luo Cunxiao as the commander-in-chief and Du Fuwei as the deputy general. Xingluocang, Hulaoguan and other important places.

At the same time, Luo Cheng will lead the imperial conquest. He will not only transfer the soldiers and horses of the three generals, but also the soldiers and horses of the various feudal clans, and also lead the imperial guards.

It's just that the emperor's goal this time is not Dou Jiande in Hebei, but Taiyuan.

"Taiyuan?"

The three handsome men exclaimed almost in unison.

No one thought that the emperor would go to fight Taiyuan instead of fighting Dou Jiande in the south of Fan Yang.

But the emperor had other meanings.

"Dou Jiande couldn't take four counties since he went south to Shandong, which seriously hurt his strength. After losing the second county of Zhao County in Xiangguo, his strength is now greatly reduced. Not to mention that after my Great Qin moved its capital to Fanyang, Dou Jiande was sandwiched between Fanyang and Shandong. In the meantime, it has become a game of chess."

Luo Cheng asked someone to fetch the sand table, and pointed at the location of Taiyuan in the east of the river.

"Hedong Metropolis, where it can be used!"

"Look at the topography of the river east, especially the topography of Taiyuan."

In front of a terrain sand table in the east of the river, the mountains, rivers and rivers of the east are fully displayed.Although the sand table is small, it shows the topography of the entire River East in this square inch.

In Luo Cheng's view, Hedong is in a pivotal strategic position in the entire northern region.

"The situation in the east of the river is the most solid. From the center of the pass, it must first reach the east of the river. Because of its east, the Tai acts as a barrier. To the west, the big river is the belt, and to the north, the desert and Yinshan are the outer cover. , while Gouzhu and Yanmen are internal dangers, and in the south, the mountains of Shouyang, Dizhu, Xicheng, and Wangwu stand by the river, and in the south, Mengjin and Tongguan are all gates."

"Fen and Hui linger on the right, and Zhang and Qin envelop on the left, so the original Xie can be poured, and the Cao millet can be transferred."

Following the emperor's finger and listening to the emperor's words, the commanders suddenly felt enlightened. It turns out that the terrain of the whole river east is indeed like this.

"Look, the closer you are to Jin and Bolongmen, the more you can break down between Guanzhong, Jingwei and Weiwei."

"Out of Tianjing and down to Huguan, Handan and Jingxing will go to the east. Can't we just go where I want to go?"

"That's why if you want to fight for hegemony in the world and set the Central Plains, you must take the east of the river."

The terrain of the entire river east is a relatively closed terrain.

At the same time, he is condescending, whether it is facing Hebei in the east, Guanzhong in the west, or Henan in the south, Hedong is a platform that lives below.

There is a tendency to dive on three sides.

There are mountains and rivers blocking the east side of the river, which are his barriers, so that he can enter easily and retreat easily.

There are natural strategic advantages for all three sides.

To the east of Hedong, the Taihang Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, and only Baxing can pass through Taihang, which are eight natural and dangerous passes.

To the west, there is a natural danger of the Yellow River, and there are only a few ferries that are easy to cross.

"If we can seize Hedong, we can either attack from three sides or defend against danger."

If Taiyuan is taken down, the entire Hedong is almost under control.

Dou Jiande, who was sandwiched between Taihang, the sea and the Yellow River, completely became a trapped beast, with no way out, and could only sit and wait for death.

At this time, Luo Cheng was not only considering Hebei, but also the general situation in the whole north, and even the general situation in the whole world.

To unify the world, the north must be pacified first.

To pacify the north, it is not just about taking Luoyang or Hebei.

Now it is not an easy task for the current Qin army to seize Henan and wipe out Hebei, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to complete in a short time.

Before that, no one knows how many accidents will happen.

Just like not long ago, Yun Dingxing, the governor of Monan in Hetao, led his army to join Li Yuan in Guanzhong, and the counties of Yulin, Wuyuan, and Lingwu all fell to Li Yuan's side at once.

This was an extremely unpleasant accident, and he made Li Yuan's north of Guanzhong worry-free.

Now Li Yuan is fighting with all his strength against Xue Rengao from Longyou, but the information sent back from Guanzhong shows that after Xue Rengao succeeded to the throne, although his bravery has not diminished, now he is entangled by Li Yuan and Li Shimin and his son.

Xue Rengao marched east to Guanzhong, but now the 20 army was dragged by Li Shimin to a stalemate in the Jingbin area.Luo Cheng, who is rich in experience, can tell at a glance that Xue Rengao is now riding a tiger and has nowhere to go.

And if this stalemate continues, Xue Rengao will undoubtedly be the first to collapse in the end.

After all, even Luo Cheng would not dare to say that he could supply 20 soldiers and horses, and he would not be able to attack the enemy's fortified city on the front line for a long time.Once the supply of food and grass is insufficient, no matter how many Xue Rengao soldiers have, they will only lose faster.

Once Li Shimin wins this battle, then Li Yuan in Guanzhong will have no worries. At that time, the Xue family will be wiped out and Longyou will be captured. With Guanzhong's unique four-siege advantage, Li Yuan will surely go east to compete for the world.

Now the central and southern part of Hedong is controlled by Xiao Yu and Yang Yichen, and these two are under the orders of the Chang'an court. Once Li Yuan solves the Xue family in Longyou, he will definitely send troops to Hedong. At that time, this I'm afraid that Taiyuan will fall under Li Yuan's control, and if Luo Cheng wants to seize it, it will be even more troublesome.

"Li Yuan?"

Liu Wuzhou did not expect that the emperor would attack Taiyuan first instead of Dou Jiande, and the ultimate reason was to guard against Li Yuan in Guanzhong.

"What's the difference between Li Yuan and Li Mi? I think Li Yuan is not as good as Li Mi. Your Majesty thinks Li Yuan so highly. Doesn't he think too highly of him?"

"Once Li Mi was defeated in Beimang Mountain, his troops would dissipate and he would have no intention of recovering. As for Li Yuan, he was able to bring the Xiaoguo army all the way back to Guanzhong from Jiangjiang. Yu Xueju once lost tens of thousands of soldiers, but in the end, did Li Yuan collapse? No, on the contrary, he soon sent troops to fight Xue again, and even this time, he firmly resisted Xue Rengao and let Xue Rengao Falling into an extremely difficult situation, this fully shows that Li Yuan is not simple, no matter how much we value him, we can't overestimate him."

"We must take advantage of the fact that Li Yuan's main force is still in a stalemate with Xue Rengao, and take down Taiyuan in Hedong. As long as we capture Taiyuan, we don't have to worry about Li Yuan in Guanzhong anymore."

"But, let Dou Jiande not fight, isn't it good?"

"Dou Jiande is just a dead bone in the tomb. Don't pay attention to him. When we take Taiyuan, he will have no chance." Luo Cheng waved his hand.
