Chapter 298(2/2)
But after comprehensive consideration, perhaps the best choice is to divide the troops.
After all, Liu Heita is not a soldier-free person, and the suggestions he made must make sense.
Speaking of Liu Heita, he is also quite legendary.
When he was young, he was a gangster and was idle and did not do serious business, and Dou Jiande helped him a lot. So after a while, the two of them became in love.
Later, the world was in chaos, and Liu Heita and Dou Jiande were displaced and each depended on different forces. Later, when Dou Jiande raised his army, Liu Heita was under Wang Shichong's subordinates. He felt that Wang Shichong had no future, so he led his subordinates to escape and surrendered to Dou Jiande.
In the following several battles, Liu Heita showed good military talents, which made Dou Jiande highly valued.
But this kind of emphasis is obviously not enough to be regarded as his right-hand man.
After all, Liu Heita did not have many opportunities to lead troops independently to fight wars at that time. Although he had military talents, it had not been fully revealed.
In the battle at Hulao Pass, Dou Jiande was penetrated and captured alive, and was beheaded in a downtown area.
The beheading of Dou Jiande was definitely one of the stupidest decisions made by Emperor Gaozu of Liang. In fact, Dou Jiande wanted to kill, but he shouldn't be killed immediately, and he shouldn't be killing so blatantly.
At least someone should be sent to pacify the entire Hebei area and then secretly kill it.
Therefore, Dou Jiande's death made all his old subordinates in Hebei feel threatened and then raised an army to resist.
Logically speaking, Dou Jiande's 100,000 troops have been sent, and the world has been basically pacified. These old subordinates should not be able to make any mistakes.
However, they were very lucky to meet Liu Heita, a military genius who could almost be said to be an unrivaled military genius under the King of Qin in this chaotic era.
The process of Liu Heita being elected was also outrageous. Dou Jiande's old minister planned to rebel, but he couldn't think of someone to be the first to be the first, and he might not want to take over this hot potato. After all, the success rate of rebellion at this time is very low. Once the failure, the evil will definitely die, but the rest of the people may have room for survival.
So they found an old Taoist priest to tell fortunes, and the result of the fortune-telling was that Liu Dangxing.
After searching for a long time, the group of people first found Dou Jiande's old subordinate Liu Ya. As a result, Liu Ya refused to rebel with them, so the group killed Liu Ya, continued to search, and found Liu Heita.
From this we can see that although Liu Heita and Dou Jiande were fellow villagers before, they did not have a high status in Dou Jiande's army, otherwise they would not have been recruited because of fortune telling.
Then, Liu Heita was very happy and started an army.
Just over two months after the Battle of Hulao Pass, Liu Heita brought up a army with only more than 100 people, and in more than a month they successively captured Zhangnan, Weizhou and other places. Dou Jiande's former subordinates surrendered one after another.
Seeing that Liu Heita's rebellion became more and more intense, the Liang Dynasty could not sit still.
The Prince of Huaiyang, who had followed the King of Qin to defeat Dou Jiande at Hulao Pass, led 50,000 troops to join forces with the Youzhou General Manager Li Yi to attack.
Then, with the flying dragon riding his face, he lost.
So Emperor Gaozu of Liang recruited Li Xiaochang, Li Shiji and others continued to besiege Liu Heita.
Then, he was beaten again.
Especially Li Shiji, he was Li Ji, a famous general at that time. The wars in the destruction of the Eastern Turks, Xueyantuo and Goguryeo all made significant contributions.
As a result, Liu Heita was beaten to "only save himself."
Of course, Li Shiji was still in his childhood at this time, and Liu Heita had a home advantage in Hebei after all. But no matter what, Liu Heita's strength can be seen.
As for where the King of Qin is...
In fact, Emperor Gaozu of Liang didn’t want to send the King of Qin to fight anymore.
Because after the Battle of Hulao Pass, the King of Qin captured the two kings in one battle and was already General Tiance, and there was no title to be a title. If he made another contribution, it would pose a serious threat to the prince.
So Emperor Gaozu of Liang thought about it and said that he could not give this military merit to the King of Qin again.
As a result, Liu Heita slapped the truth in the face.
Without the King of Qin, there would be nothing you can fight in such a huge Liang Kingdom!
As a last resort, Emperor Gaozu of Liang once again activated the King of Qin.
In the process of pacifying Liu Heita, the King of Qin never found a good solution, and even lost the general Luo Shixin. In the end, the King of Qin took steady steps and pressed forward step by step, and then he used the powerful national strength of the Liang Dynasty to kill Liu Heita.
Since Liu Heita showed this horrific performance of "I am invincible under the King of Qin", his military talent must be higher than everyone present at this time.
Return to Ling Jing's proposal.
On the surface, this proposal was to surround Wei and save Zhao, but in fact it was not.
The three questions Li Hongyun asked are exactly the three fatal points of this proposal.
Ling Jing’s route is not a different approach. This is one of the three most important routes to enter Guanzhong.
"I Have a Volume of Ghosts and Gods"
Since ancient times, there are three main roads to enter Guanzhong: the first is the northern Henan passage, which is the road to walk through the Zhuguanxing mentioned by Ling Jing; the second is the ancient road of Xuhan, which is now from Hulao Pass to Luoyang, then from Luoyang to Hangu Pass and Tongguan; the third is the Wuguan Road, which is to start from Xiangyang through Wuguan, Shangluo, Lantian and then to Chang'an.
Although there are other routes, they are too far away.
Among these three roads, it is absolutely impossible to walk on the Wuguan Road, because Wuguan is the most steep, and even two horses cannot go in parallel at the narrowest point.
The reason why Zangguan Xing is not very strong is that it is called Zangguan because it can only accommodate a chariot.
In comparison, Hulao Pass is already the best way to set. After all, it is much wider than Zhuo Pass and Wu Pass.
If you can’t even get down to Hulao Pass, why should you get down to the pass?
What's more, the road proposed by Ling Jing can't reach Luoyang at all.
This road requires going from Taihang Mountain to Shangdang, then gradually taking half of Hedong from Shangdang, and finally going to Pujin to attack Chang'an.
There was a very long distance between Chang'an and Luoyang, such as Tongguan and Hangu Pass. By the time Dou Jiande threatened Chang'an, Wang Shichong's grave had already grown ten feet high.
No wonder Wang Shichong's envoy cried every day, because if Dou Jiande turned to attack Hedong, it would mean that Wang Shichong would undoubtedly die.
This is also an important reason why Dou Jiande did not choose this plan in the end.
So, will Ling Jing not understand these?
Of course he understands it too.
So, on the surface, this is a plan to surround Wei and save Zhao, which sounds like saying: "We can't defeat Hulao Pass, so we will go around and attack Chang'an and let Liang army go back to rescue, so the siege of Luoyang can be untied."
But in fact, this is saying: "Don't worry about Wang Shichong, he is dead! It's meaningless to waste our time here in Hulao Pass. If you can't fight, you'll be in vain. Why not take advantage of Wang Shichong's trapping Luoyang and attract the main force of the Liang army, let's go and grab the territory of Hedong!"
As for whether Hedong can get it?
Although this incident is not successful after-analysis, it does exist.
The success rate is not high because the Liang army is already prepared and will definitely defend the route of Zangguan. When the army cannot be deployed, the prospect of capturing Zangguan is not very optimistic.
Moreover, once Dou Jiande retreated, perhaps Wang Shichong would surrender soon, and he might not be able to hold Liang Jun back for a long time.
However, the guardians of Hedong were not the main force of the Liang army, and there was no invincible King of Qin. Dou Jiande might have a certain possibility of success when he went to fight Hedong.
Although this possibility is not high,...
No matter how bad the result is, it is impossible to be worse than the defeat of the 100,000 army at Hulao Pass by the King of Qin in the battle.
After considering it comprehensively, Li Hongyun said to Liu Heita: "You personally select 30,000 elite soldiers, as the commander, and go to Guanxing to fight Hedong! If it goes well, you will threaten Pujin Ferry and shock Chang'an.
