Chapter 144 Passing Tongguan, Thinking of the Old Man

Tongguan.

The mighty army passed through the water gate by boat, and they could feel the waves rising and falling under their feet, and the mountains and rivers on both sides rushed towards them.

"The mountains and rivers are like clusters, the waves are like anger, and the Tongguan Road inside and outside the mountains and rivers" is not a shallow and weak text, it is like a carefully drawn picture scroll, which vividly imprints the scene in front of you.

Compared with Hangu Pass, although the mountains and rivers on both sides are not so dangerous, the road to pass is not so long and narrow.

But the gate of Tongguan is a water gate.

This is its uniqueness, borrowing the danger of the Yellow River to make it stronger.

However, in the Han Dynasty, the flow of the Yellow River flowing through Tongguan was not very large, and it was far from the effect of containing the enemy as in later generations. Even if the water gate of Tongguan took shape, it was still just an ordinary pass.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Chen Luo let out a breath of fresh air slowly as the river wind blew.

"Jiang Ning, are you feeling touched, or are you thinking about something?" Xiang Yu came over from behind Chen Luo, and asked curiously, the journey for several days was quite boring.

Although he had proclaimed himself the King of Chu in Pengcheng, he was not counted as being proclaimed in the hands of the Han Dynasty. In name only, it was politically incorrect.

Therefore, Xiang Yu went back to Guanzhong with Liu Bang first, where he was formally conferred with many heroes and the Liu clan, and then took Yu Ji to his side and brought him back to Chu.

Of course, Xiang Yu's personal safety is still guaranteed.

Even though he only brought 30 soldiers with him this time, the [-] soldiers in Chu have not yet disbanded, and the Xiang family's children basically stayed there.

If something happened to Xiang Yu by Liu Bang's side, the Chu people would riot and the world would be restored to chaos in an instant.

Chen Luo turned his head to the side, with a little emotion: "Brother Yu, what do you think of this water gate in Tongguan? Can it become a great pass in the world?"

"Huh?" Xiang Yu was stunned.

He has been idle for more than half a month, and he didn't worry about military-related matters. When he suddenly discussed this topic, he was a little unresponsive.

This is like the students after the college entrance examination in later generations, often only need half a summer vacation, they can forget all the knowledge left.

Thinking hard for a moment, Xiang Yu observed the water gate in front of him with scrutiny, narrowing his eyes slightly.

After a while, he said in a deep voice: "If Xianyang is the capital, then Tongguan is indeed the last place that can be guarded, but it is absolutely impossible to use it to play the role of Hangu Pass."

This is a matter of experience.

In the past, Hangu Pass was "one man guards the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it". The Qin State rejected ten times the enemy from outside the pass, and finally ruled the world in the Warring States Period after the end of the dispute.

Compared with the "old predecessors", this young Tongguan did not show such outstanding talent.

Xiang Yu added: "At the end of the day, it's because Tongguan is too close to Xianyang. If someone really hits here, will there be reinforcements from outside?

How can this Tongguan be changed for another year or so if the final outcome is changed?

It's just delaying the time of extinction and making a fearless resistance. "

Chen Luo nodded thoughtfully.

What Xiang Yu talked about belongs to the most common situation.

After all, if the enemy army really hit the gate of the capital, there might be beacon fires everywhere outside, and there would be no army of King Qin.

It's just that the battle of Tongguan in history, which was related to the fate of the country, really did not conform to the basic principles of general wars. When the rebels reached Tongguan and approached Chang'an, the people of the world did not support the rebels, and even their lairs kept showing rebels.

Under such circumstances, Tongguan was quite strong, blocking tens of thousands of rebels out.

However, at that time, the emperor came to use micro-manipulation and forced brother Shuhan to go out to fight, but he was defeated and collapsed, and the old general's original qualifications to enter the martial arts temple as a priest were directly defeated.

Chen Luo shook his head: "However, I still want to refute Brother Yu's point of view."

"Oh? What's Jiang Ning's explanation?" Xiang Yu asked with interest, not annoyed because Chen Luo didn't agree with his point of view.

"Let's sit down and talk." Chen Luo wiped the deck lightly, and sat cross-legged leisurely, "Brother Yu, if the water gate at Tongguan is completely built, if you knock on it, then the land attack will be forced to divide into two routes, and the water attack will require a large number of ships."

"Well, yes." Xiang Yu nodded, "But this is not a problem. The terrain in front of Tongguan is still quite open. Even if it is divided into two routes and advances side by side, the offensive will not weaken much. After one round of attack, the pressure on Tongguan will not be less than that of Linzi City."

Chen Luo gestured on the wooden board with his fingers, simulating the Yellow River, "Brother Yu, if the water volume of the Yellow River flowing through the city gate of Tongguan increases, large areas of flat land outside the city gate will be submerged, and how strong will Tongguan be?

Brother Yu, if you think about it carefully, the land road you attack from the outside will be even narrower and longer than the road outside Hangu Pass, and you can't even line up two or three trebuchets at the same time.

And if you want to send soldiers to erect ladders, the defenders in Tongguan only need to guard a small section of the city wall, and they can easily keep you out.

In this way, I'm afraid Brother Yu will be in trouble. "

The reason why he did not mention attacking from the waterway is not to ignore it.

But if the land attack is blocked, it is basically impossible to find another way to open the situation from the water.

Even in the fall of Constantinople, which made Jingluo furious, the Turkish army had a clear advantage in strength, and they attacked from land, smashed the city wall, and sent troops into the city.

As for the sea on the east side, the Turkish army only implemented a blockade strategy to keep the reinforcements out.

Suddenly, Xiang Yu frowned, obviously realizing that Chen Luo had indeed created a problem for himself.

Siege warfare is indeed his shortcoming. If he scored [-] points in field battles, then he would score around [-] points in siege warfare.

"Well... If this is the case, then our army will block Tongguan, force the defenders to run out of ammunition and food, and finally break down the city wall bit by bit, and we can win the final victory." He thought for a while, and then proposed a new plan.

However, if this situation really happened, Chen Luo suspected that Xiang Yu would not want to use the lives of Chu soldiers to collapse the city wall.

So he turned against the army: "Brother Yu's words are wrong. After Tongguan is the Guanzhong Plain, how can there be a shortage of food?
What's more, if the water volume of the Yellow River increases, it will be a breeze to transport grain from Hanzhong to this place.

If you want to smash this Tongguan, you may have to die [-] to [-] soldiers.

It's just that before reaching such a heavy loss, it may be very difficult for ordinary generals to even command the army forward. "

Chen Luo was using a trick to refute the method of brute force to break through from the perspective of military morale.

Even if Xiang Yu was actually able to control the soldiers from mutiny, he did not make a decisive definition, and he did not use too absolute terms, not to mention that according to the standard of ordinary generals, if the siege loses [-] soldiers, the army will definitely mutiny.

Xiang Yu rubbed his chin: "According to Jiang Ning's prediction, then Tongguan will not be breached in a short time.

But going back to the original idea, a dynasty was beaten to the gate of the capital, so I am afraid that there is not much left.

Then I will block you in this Tongguan, what will happen if it takes a year and a half?
Not to mention that I can also take a detour from the north, or go further south from Wuguan, these are other ways.

If I can't get through Tongguan, then I will attack from other places, and the problem will be solved. "

The situation where he said this was also a trick in the debate, but Chen Luo couldn't refute it.

After all, if the situation in the early stage of the Anshi Rebellion in history was completely presented, and the strength of Tongguan was increased to Datang, then Xiang Yu would probably give himself a supercilious look.

This kind of situation where the tethered dog is commanding on the city wall, you use it to discuss with me?
Are you here to amuse me?
Then he punched Chen Luo so that a soy sauce shop opened in the face, salty, sour, and spicy all rolled out.

To avoid being in the shape of Zhenguanxi, Chen Luo scratched his head and chose to end the topic: "I am just imagining this, and now the world is peaceful, so why would I go to war lightly.

What's more, the change of mountains and rivers takes a hundred years as a unit. If the Yellow River in the Tongguan area wants to increase to the level I just mentioned, it may not be possible within 300 years.

Brother Yu, you will never see such a war happen in your lifetime. "

Xiang Yu glanced at him: "What do you mean I can't see such a war happen? It's as if you can see it. After 300 years, I'm afraid your grandson's grandson won't be able to see that scene."

Chen Luo coughed, looked at the sky leisurely and said: "Brother Yu split half of the earth with me, and I will teach you the supreme longevity method, and you will live for two thousand or three thousand years."

He thought he had shown a sad expression, melancholy eyes, and a lonely posture.

Full of immortal temperament!
But from Xiang Yu's point of view, he felt that he was committing a crime.

"Get out..." Halfway through the scolding, Xiang Yu suddenly asked, "Jiang Ning, do you want to crack the earth to seal the king? If that's the case, then I will find time to discuss with the King of Han and see whether you can be sealed in Qi or Zhao. But I think Qi is better and closer to me, but what about Zhao..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Luo hurriedly ended his performance as the immortal, and interrupted: "Stop, stop, brother Yu, don't bother, I don't mean that, you can just collect taxes as a feudal marquis, it's too much trouble to be a king."

If you follow Xiang Yu's method, you will become the king of Qi.

Looking at the land of Chu and Qi, I'm afraid Liu Bang won't be able to get a good night's sleep at night.

At this time, Chen Luo's head was covered with a faint shadow, because the boat he was riding happened to pass through the gate of Tongguan City, the boat swayed for a while, passed through the gate, and suddenly became enlightened again.

The sudden bright sunlight made Chen Luo narrow his eyes slightly, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyes were already wide open.

"Not far ahead is Chang... Xianyang, where time hasn't come back." Chen Luo sighed with emotion, secretly stroked the sachet in his arms, thinking of the old man he hadn't seen for a long time.

Well, it's Prime Minister Xiao at the rear.
