Three Kingdoms: Peak Summons

Chapter 1791 The conspiracy against Li Cunxiao (Part 1)

 Chapter 1789: Conspiracy against Li Cunxiao (Part 1)

 “Where have all the Tang troops gone?”

Yue Fei’s brows furrowed tightly, and his eyes were full of doubts.

Just before he was about to attack the Tang army, the Tang army suddenly retreated under the cover of night without knowing when, and its whereabouts were unknown.

This really made Yue Fei wonder if the Tang army had another conspiracy?

Li Shimin has four great military advisors under his command: Du Ruhui, Li Ru, Changsun Wuji, and Li Kui. The level of strategy is definitely far higher than that of Yue Fei, who has an intelligence of 93. However, Yue Fei is not without the help of his brain trust.

 Fang Xuanling and Liu Ye, two great wise men, were both under Yue Fei's command at this time.

In addition, Jia Xu from Luoyang also sent letters via flying pigeons to provide advice to Yue Fei on the front line.

Yue Fei's strategy to deal with the Tang army this time was proposed by Jia Xu of Luoyang, and was subsequently improved by Fang Xuanling and Liu Ye.

Therefore, the level of think tanks of both Qin and Tang Dynasties was actually about the same. However, because of Jia Xu's joining, the Qin army overtook the Tang army.

“Did the Tang army see through Lord Jia Xu’s plan?”

As soon as this idea came up, Yue Fei immediately rejected it.

If Li Shimin had really seen through Jia Xu's plan, he would not have led the army to retreat in such a hurry, but would have set up an ambush in advance and waited for Yue Fei to come.

 But Li Shimin did not do this, which shows that he was not aware of Jia Xu's plan, but had other plans, so he withdrew his troops at such a critical moment.

At this thought, Yue Fei couldn't help but secretly sigh that Li Shimin was lucky.

Yue Fei is absolutely sure that once the plan is completed, even if the Tang army is not completely wiped out, it will definitely be severely weakened, and naturally it will no longer be able to threaten Nanxiang.

 But what’s the result?

Yue Fei was just about to implement the plan, but Li Shimin ran away with his army in advance due to an unknown plan, and coincidentally escaped Jia Xu's plan.

Li Shimin didn't realize at all that he was being plotted by Jia Xu. If he had withdrawn a few days later, the casualties of the Tang army would have been really high, so this was a blessing in disguise for him.

"Captain Governor, the troops in Xiangyang are also very empty now. Could it be that the Tang army raided Xiangyang?" Qin Wu said.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone’s expressions changed.

Xiangyang is the administrative seat of Jingzhou. If it is attacked, the consequences will be disastrous.

Before Yue Fei could speak, Fang Xuanling stood up and replied: "No, the Tang army still has 70,000 troops. With such a large number of troops, it is impossible to avoid our army's ears and eyes and attack Xiangyang.

In addition, as long as Wuxiang is still in the hands of our army, Li Shimin will not be able to cross Wuxiang and attack other cities. Once the supply of food and grass is not available, he will collapse without fighting. "

"Where did the Tang army go?" Qin Wu asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Not only Yue Fei didn't know about this problem, but even Fang Xuanling and Liu Ye didn't know about it. The only thing that was certain was that the main force of the Tang army was no longer in Nanxiang.

“Grand Governor, what should we do now?”

Pei Xingjian stepped forward and asked: "Should we continue to take over Nanxiang? Or go south to support Jiangling?"

Yue Fei's brows furrowed even more tightly. If the Tang army was defeated, he would naturally dare to go south to support Jiangling with confidence. But now that the main force of the Tang army was undefeated and their whereabouts were unknown, how could he dare to leave Nanxiang with his army?

If the Tang army leaves and comes back, wouldn't Nanxiang City be in danger?

Yue Fei always had a bad premonition in his heart, so he said in a deep voice: "This time Li Tang retreated without any reason, there must be a bigger conspiracy, so let's not rush south first and find out the whereabouts of the Tang army."

Yue Fei also wanted to save Jiangling, but before he figured out Li Tang's movements, he really couldn't and didn't dare to leave Nanxiang. Now he could only pray secretly in his heart, hoping that Meng Gong could create a miracle.

“Immediately inform Master Jia Xu of the situation in Nanxiang via Feige.” Yue Fei ordered.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　)

 Luoyang, inside the Jia Mansion.

After receiving the letter from Yue Fei, Jia Xu also frowned.

He naturally knew that Li Tang withdrew his troops from Nanxiang for no reason and deliberately hid his whereabouts. There must be a bigger conspiracy, but what exactly was this conspiracy?

“Li Cunxiao is in charge of Hangu Pass, and Yue Fei is in charge of Nanxiang. Both places are as stable as Mount Tai.

Even if I want to conquer these two places, there is no other way except to conquer by force, and Li Tang simply cannot afford the cost of conquering by force.

Although Li Tang suddenly withdrew his troops this time, it was definitely to break the situation. But as long as Yue Fei stayed in Nanxiang, Li Shimin's conspiracy would be useless.

It is absolutely impossible for Yue Fei to leave Nanxiang based on this. It is impossible for Li Shimin not to know, so what is Li Shimin's intention in doing this? "

Even Jia Xu, who has an intelligence of 102 and is almost as clever as a demon, was a little confused for a while as to what the purpose of Li Shimin's move was.

This is of course not that Jia Xu is not smart enough, but that there is currently too little useful information, and even he cannot analyze much useful things.

After thinking hard to no avail, Jia Xu walked to the window, looked up at the sky, and said calmly: "Fei Ge sent a letter to Yue Fei, asking him to continue investigating the whereabouts of the Tang army. Don't act rashly until he finds out."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　)

 In the shadow outside the window, a swordsman in black immediately took the order and left.

In fact, Jia Xu didn't need to remind him. Yue Fei didn't dare to move lightly. After all, the 70,000 Tang army was a force that was enough to influence the situation of the battle. It would be too risky to take it easy without knowing the opponent's intention.

Although Jia Xu did not guess Li Shimin's intention, he took this matter seriously. He kept thinking about this issue in the next few days, and also discussed it with Han Fei, Di Renjie, Bao Zheng and other wise men.

"Li Shimin's move is really strange. If he thought that this would allow Yue Fei to leave Wuxiang and save Jiangling, he would be underestimating Governor Yue Fei." Han Fei said with a smile.

"Yes, but Li Shimin is not a short-term ruler. It is impossible that he does not know this truth. He must have a deeper plan for doing this. Maybe he has changed his target to attack Hangu Pass." Di Renjie said.

"Nanxiang has Governor Yue Fei in charge, which is already a fortress. Hangu Pass has General Li Cunxiao in charge, making it even more impregnable. Li Shimin hasn't even conquered Nanxiang yet, so how could he possibly breach the stronger Hangu Pass?" Bao Zheng said.

 The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

After hearing everyone's discussion, Jia Xu was moved in his heart.

Hangu Pass is stronger than Nanxiang City, so everyone subconsciously believes that Hangu Pass will definitely not be breached. After all, Hangu Pass is guarded by Li Cunxiao, the most powerful general in the world, and Li Shimin has not even breached Nanxiang City. , how could it be possible to attack Hangu Pass?

 But it would be a huge mistake to think so.

Although Li Tang failed to conquer Wuxiang, why couldn't he conquer Hangu?

Although the defense of Hangu Pass is strong, is this not the reason why it cannot be breached?

"Feige sent a letter to Yue Fei immediately, asking him to send spies to investigate the direction of Wuguan to see if there are any traces of a large Tang army marching." Jia Xu quickly ordered.

An unreasonable idea appeared in Jia Xu's mind. Although it was unreasonable, it was the only explanation at present, so he was eager to find out the reason.

In fact, Yue Fei found Wuguan by himself without Jia Xu's summons.

The roads leading to Hanzhong and Shangyong have been searched by spies sent by Yue Fei, but there is still no trace of the Tang army's march. Only the northwest direction of Wuguan has not been found.
