 Chapter 1792 The conspiracy against Li Cunxiao (Part 2)

 Chapter 1790: Conspiracy against Li Cunxiao (Part 2)

Seventy thousand troops is not a small number. No matter how hard Li Shimin conceals it, the army will definitely leave clues when passing through the border. However, it has not been found so far, or the direction is wrong.

In fact, Yue Fei's search direction was wrong from the beginning. He felt that if Li Tang wanted to hide his traces, he would definitely retreat to Hanzhong or Shangyong, so he asked the spies to explore in the direction of these two places, but in fact, the Tang army just went to Withdrew in the direction of Wuguan.

The spies of the Qin army searched all the roads in the directions of Shangyong and Hanzhong, but still found no trace of the Tang army. There was only one direction left in the direction of Wuguan. As a result, they found traces of the army marching on the road leading to Wuguan.

Although the traces discovered by the Qin Army spies were not obvious, and there were still traces of being covered up, it just showed that a large army must have passed by.

Yue Fei was shocked when he learned about it. He never expected that the Tang army would retreat to Wuguan, but he became more confused and confused. What was the purpose of the Tang army's retreat to Wuguan?

A strange look flashed in Liu Ye's eyes, but he said with some uncertainty: "Has the Tang army given up on Nanxiang and prepared to concentrate its efforts on attacking Hangu Pass?"

Before Yue Fei could speak, Qin Wu directly objected: "How is this possible?

The defense of Hangu Pass is much stronger than that of Nanxiang City. Not only is it guarded by 20,000 elite troops, but General Li Cunxiao is also personally on duty.

Even if the Tang army dispatched 200,000 troops, it would be impossible to capture it in less than three months, but it only took half a month for Luoyang's reinforcements to reach Hangu Pass.

If the Tang army had this ability, would they still defeat Wuxiang City? "

As soon as this was said, all the generals present nodded in agreement.

What Qin Wu said does make sense. Regardless of Hangu Pass itself and the number of defenders, let’s just talk about Li Cunxiao.

 Since Xiang Yu's fall, Li Cunxiao defeated Li Yuanba openly and openly, and is now recognized as the best general in the world. His name alone will make people feel at ease and exciting, and can make most people stay away.

So, how could Hangu Pass, which had the most powerful general in the world, be breached in half a month?

 Every normal person would definitely think so, but in addition to normal people present, there were also wise men like Fang Xuanling and Liu Ye, who obviously would not think so.

In the eyes of Fang Xuanling and Liu Ye, whether Li Cunxiao is strong or not has no direct relationship with whether Hangu Pass will fall, so how can we be sure of the possibility?

“No, Hangu Pass is not without flaws.”

A dignified look flashed in Fang Xuanling's eyes, and she said solemnly: "General Li Cunxiao is the biggest flaw in Hangu Pass."

As soon as these words came out, most of the people present, including Yue Fei, frowned, and Qin Wu said coldly: "The military advisor must be careful, General Li Cunxiao has been guarding Hangu Pass for many years, and he has missed many opportunities to make meritorious deeds, but he never How could he betray the lord without any complaints?"

Fang Xuanling was stunned and quickly explained: "The general has misunderstood. General Li Cunxiao is loyal and loyal, so it is naturally impossible for him to rebel. What I mean is that Li Tang has a conspiracy against General Li Cunxiao, which may eventually lead to the fall of Hangu Pass."

 “That’s it.”

Qin Wu showed a look of surprise and said sheepishly: "Military advisor, you have said it clearly. Who would not misunderstand someone who cherishes his words like gold?"

 Eh, this is not right. You must know that since General Li Cunxiao went to war with his lord, he must win every battle and he has not lost a single battle so far.

What kind of conspiracy could Li Tang have that would allow General Li Cunxiao, who was on the defensive, to lose Hangu Pass within half a month without even waiting for reinforcements? "

 “I have to ask Li Shimin.”

Fang Xuanling wanted to answer Qin Wu's question, but unfortunately, he didn't know what Tang Jun's conspiracy was, but he also had his own judgment.

"Since traces of the Tang army have been found in the direction of Wuguan, it proves that the target of the Tang army must be Hangu Pass. Although I don't know what Li Tang's conspiracy is, Li Tang is definitely sure of breaking through Hangu Pass, but there is only one way This can explain why Li Tang abandoned Nanxiang and retreated to Wuguan."

As he said this, Fang Xuanling's face suddenly changed as if he remembered something, and he asked anxiously: "Grand Governor, how many days have it been since the Tang army withdrew its troops?" "Ten days."

Yue Fei answered subconsciously, but then asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong? Military advisor?"

 “Ten days?”

Fang Xuanling's voice became louder and he murmured: "If you walk through Wuguan and enter Guanzhong, you will have arrived at Tongguan in ten days."

Yue Fei's expression suddenly changed and he said quickly: "Quick, hurry up and send a letter to General Li Cunxiao, reminding him that Li Tang's target may be Hangu Pass."

"this…"

The spy looked troubled and said: "To inform the Governor, the carrier pigeons from Nanxiang can only go to Luoyang, but the carrier pigeons that go to Hangu Pass can only be found in Luoyang."

“Then let Fei Ge send the letter to Luoyang.”

Ordinary carrier pigeons can fly six to seven hundred kilometers a day, and trained carrier pigeons can fly thousands of miles in one day. Nanxiang is less than a thousand miles away from Luoyang, and the military carrier pigeons of the Qin Army can reach Luoyang in less than a day.

Yue Fei watched the carrier pigeon fly towards Luoyang and murmured to himself: "We must catch up."

It was already late at night when the carrier pigeon flew to Luoyang. Jia Xu did not expect that Yue Fei would move so fast. He just sent the letter with the flying pigeon this morning and had a reply by the evening. This efficiency was too fast, right?

 But after reading it, Jia Xu was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat.

Fang Xuanling and Liu Ye couldn't see what Li Tang's conspiracy was. How could Jia Xu, who was good at using conspiracies and tricks, not see it?

As long as he finds Li Cunxiao's character weakness, Jia Xu has a hundred ways to deceive Li Cunxiao or provoke him out of Hangu Pass.

There are no generals with any character weakness. So far, Jia Xu only knows two, and that is Bai Qi and Li Jing. Can Li Cunxiao compare with these two people? Obviously not.

In Jia Xu’s eyes, 40% of the strength of Xiongguan lies in the pass itself, but 60% lies in the generals who guard the pass.

 Yong generals are guarding a pass. Even if they are guarding the best pass in the world, they still cannot stop the enemy.

 With a good general in defense, even if there are no checkpoints, just a large camp can still block the enemy.

Li Cunxiao is naturally a good general, but he has obvious character weaknesses. Once discovered and targeted, this will undoubtedly be a fatal crisis for the Hangu defenders.

“Quick, fly a pigeon to send a letter to Li Cunxiao immediately, telling him that Li Tang’s army is eyeing Hangu Pass, and also tell him not to go out to fight.”

Jia Xu said with a serious face. He had never changed his expression even when Mount Tai collapsed. At this time, he also felt a sense of urgency and crisis in his heart.

Jia Xu sent three batches of carrier pigeons, but he was still worried. He called the generals headed by Qin Jian overnight and said solemnly: "I have calculated the time. I am afraid it will be too late for the flying pigeons to deliver the message.

If Hangu Pass is really breached and the west gate of Sizhou falls, the consequences will be disastrous.

 So, just in case, I decided to send troops overnight to rescue Hangu Pass. "
