Wei Chenliang's wishful thinking was just as good as he could be.

In fact, it was just to make Qin Shaoyou lose sight of one thing.

Although he did not have the courage to compete with Qin Shaoyou, he had the intention to take advantage of the situation.

This is the issue that Qin Shaoyou and the two Fang Jings and Wang Fangyi want to discuss.

If this situation continues, Qin Shaoyou is obviously in a passive position. It is extremely unwise to fight on both sides. Now the attitudes of the princes of all parties are ambiguous, and they are obviously watching the wind. Now Qin Shaoyou and the court have completely turned against each other, so it has caused a lot of harm to many merchants. After all, Hangu Pass has been blocked, and the trade with Guanzhong has been cut off. Moreover, other Wei family towns have also shown an unwelcome attitude towards the merchants of Shence Mansion. In this case, if you want to alleviate this pressure, you need to at least eliminate the enemies in one direction.

But it is not easy to eliminate it.

Although Qin Shaoyou has more than 200,000 elite soldiers, but more than 30 prefectures and more than 100 counties, how could it be that there are no troops left? It is now in a chaotic world. The princes around him who have not expressed their opinions are honest now, but once Qin Shaoyou takes time to garrison all the troops in various places, who knows whether they will take advantage of the situation?

Therefore, the troops stationed in various places need at least 80,000, and the ones that can be drawn are only 150,000. The main defense direction of these 150,000 is Hangu Pass. Otherwise, the imperial government army would leave Hangu Pass and launch an attack on Luoyang. At that time, the entire Luoyang would be completely exposed to the eyes of the government army. Even if it could be defeated in the end, the result would be... not very good, and the losses would be particularly heavy.

The entire metropolis of Luoyang is no better than other places. The general siege and defense battles are nothing more than the attacker who arrives, the opponent closes the city gate and holds it for a few months, and once the reinforcements arrive, then counterattack.

As for Luoyang, there were city walls in the past, but now the city walls have been demolished and there is no basic protection. In fact... even if there is a city wall, Qin Shaoyou would never play such a battle. The reason is very simple. Although the original Luoyang city wall is very large, the population is now close to one million due to the development of Luoyang. The people living in the city are only 270,000 to 80,000, and a large number of workshops and populations live outside the city. If Luoyang also plays the trick of closing the city gate to hold on, this means that 70% of the people outside the city have been completely abandoned by Qin Shaoyou, and the thousands of workshops of all sizes and big and small that have been built over the years have been destroyed. The giant city of Luoyang cannot afford such consumption at all. The only way is to resist the enemy a hundred miles away. Otherwise... even if you defend the city and defeat the official army, the losses will be particularly significant for Qin Shaoyou.

Faced with the provocation of the Wei princes coalition forces, Qin Shaoyou could not divide his troops, so he could only hold most of his troops on the front line of Hangu Pass. The officials who were ready to give the pass were at the front line of Hangu Pass at any time, but if they did not send troops to the south, the coalition forces would become more and more rampant. In just a few days, their troops had increased from 100,000 to 130,000.

It seems that some people have seen through the reason for Qin Shaoyou's insufficient troops, know that they cannot fight on both sides, and know that the Wei family does this. If the war continues to be delayed, on the one hand, the army will be in a dilemma, making Qin Shaoyou's main force unable to move. On the other hand, countless troops from the coalition forces entered the territory, burned, killed, and robbed. If this continues, Qin Shaoyou will only be dragged to death. Therefore... the attitudes of many people have also changed, and at least the nearby princes have become greedy.

Everyone is not stupid. Now Qin Shaoyou is at a disadvantage. Once he shows up, His Highness the King of Wei is rich and can match the country. Wouldn't it just give everyone a chance to get a bargain? There are not many of these princes who are moral and are all realistic people.

Fang Jing and Wang Fangyi actually understood the current situation, so Fang Jing said: "Your Highness, it's really impossible, so you have to order the Shen Ce Army to go south directly. The rest of the troops will stay at the front line of Hangu Pass. I am willing to lead the Shen Ce Army to defeat the enemy of the Wei family coalition forces, and see when they will be rampant?"

Qin Shaoyou glanced at Wang Fangyi, but Wang Fangyi frowned: "Once the Shen Ce Army attacked, even if the Shen Ce Army had a low combat power, more than 100,000 Wei family troops were not opponents, but don't forget that they might not have a decisive battle with the Shen Ce Army. If they were to stand firm and clear the world and did not fight with the Shen Ce Army, how would the Shen Ce Army deal with it?"

This is the truth. Although the Shence Army has strong combat power, it is precisely because of its strong combat power that it is so famous that Wei Chenliang is not a fool. Will he still fight the Shence Army in the wilderness? If more than 100,000 people are firmly in the walls and clear the fields and defend, the Shence Army may not be able to win quickly. Although the remaining 100,000 military camps have already been trained, the vast majority are still new recruits after all. Once the Shence Army is dragged in Shenwei Town, the imperial troops at Hangu Pass will be several times more than the Five Military Camps. At that time, the victory or defeat will be unpredictable, and Qin Shaoyou will not be able to take this risk.

Fang Jing couldn't help but mutter: "Even if that's the case, what are you afraid of? Isn't that the same when dealing with Wei Hongmin?"

Qin Shaoyou smiled: "That's different. Wei Hongmin was because he underestimated the enemy and had never really seen the power of the Shen Ce Army. Therefore, he dared to fight against the Shen Ce Army in the wilderness. When he was defeated and retreated into the city in a hurry, his morale had long been lost. At that time, the Shen Ce Army could only fight in one battle. However, the Wei family now could never underestimate the enemy anymore, so it was almost impossible to seek a decisive battle. The Shen Ce Army came out in full swing. Although the Five Army camps were also well-trained and had enough food, they might not be able to fight against the imperial guards several times their own, but they were not sure of being in the battle against any negligence. Luoyang would be destroyed, so... they must not take this risk. Now the plan seems to be... "

Qin Shaoyou's eyes turned, he smiled, and said, "Attacking Hangu Pass, there is no need to pay attention to Wei Chenliang anymore. Everything... is mainly about breaking Hangu Pass. As long as you take Hangu Pass, then... it will be sent to Chang'an. At that time, no matter how Wei Chenliang harasses it, it will be useless."

After hearing this, Fang Jing had to say, "Hangu Pass is different from other places. The pass there is too heavy. The artillery at present is afraid that it will not collapse the city wall."

"Then keep slapping, using gunpowder, cannons, and using all possible methods. In short, attack with all your might and do not give them any chance to relax."

Fang Jing sighed in his heart, but felt that this method was not good. Hangu Pass was built in a mountainous mountain ridge. It was precisely because of the dangerous terrain that there was a level set up there, facing the Luoyang Pass. It was not a wilderness, which meant that the large army could not be deployed at all, and the troops and horses that attacked the city could not exert all their strength. This is why the Wei family regarded this place as the top priority for guarding Chang'an. Although it was not enough to be a one-man pass, at least... With this majestic pass, if the defenders did not make fatal mistakes, if there was no one-man making a fatal mistake, even if there were a million soldiers, there would be no hope of breaking the pass.

When Wang Fangyi saw Qin Shaoyou talk about this, his eyes flashed, as if he had other intentions. He was more calm than Fang Jing. After all, Fang Jing used to be in the Flying Cavalry Army, and then he practiced the Shen Ce Army. If he was brave, he would be brave. However, the Shen Ce Army was like a sharp sword, very sharp, but not steady enough. Wang Fangyi has always been on his own, fighting east and west, with a bit of a general as stable as Mount Tai. He knew that Qin Shaoyou had other plans. So he hurriedly said: "Since your highness has his life, the Five Military Camps are willing to do their best to break the pass."

Qin Shaoyou nodded and smiled at him: "Okay. Let the Five Military Camps practice first. The soldiers are all shot out, without bleeding or crawling out of the sea of ​​blood. Why do you become an elite soldier of a hundred battles? Let the Shence Army fight to suppress the formation. The Five Military Camps are the main attack."

After discussing, Qin Shaoyou seemed to be feeling better. He slowly sat down and asked the two to have tea. He suddenly said, "Governor Fang, Governor Wang, have you ever heard of some rumors outside?"

Fang Jing and Wang Fangyi couldn't help but look at each other.

There are many rumors nowadays, and there are all kinds of rumors all over the streets. What kind of news will not be there? As for which rumors Qin Shaoyou was talking about, they guessed a little clue, but they were hesitating whether to take the initiative to provoke them.

Wang Fangyi smiled, "Your Highness, the rumors outside have nothing to do with humbleness. Since humbleness serves your Highness, he only recognizes this deadly reason in his heart. He has no intention of caring about other things, and has nothing to do with humbleness."

Fang Jing also woke up. I believe what Your Highness wants to say is that it is rumored that Qin Shaoyou had the intention to plot against the Nine Cauldrons and wanted to be the emperor. Of course, this kind of rumors have long been there, but recently, because Qin Shaoyou attacked Wei, it became rampant. Fang Jing dared not neglect: "Governor Wang said it well. We are rough people. We don't understand other principles. We only know what Your Highness said and what we do."

Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but smile bitterly. These two guys probably thought they were testing their loyalty, but in fact they... just wanted to chat with them casually.

As for the rumors like this outside, it must have been released by the court's detailed work. Qin Shaoyou used this method to deal with the Wei family. Unexpectedly, the Wei family would treat the other person with their own methods.

However... Qin Shaoyou is not worried about this.

Chang'an is different from Luoyang. Just like the Wei family, the Wei family was born to rely on imperial power. To put it bluntly, they are lees and survive by sucking the blood of the Li family. Once there are rumors outside and they have the intention to plan for a throne, then opposition and suspicion will appear, because how could those people willingly surrender to the Wei family?

However, Luoyang has its own system here. Most of the people here benefit from Qin Shaoyou's new policy survival. People who gain benefits, or those who eat or vested interests, have all started their own business with Qin Shaoyou's system. They are independent of the wealthy families and clans in Chang'an. They and Qin Shaoyou are truly prosperous and both prosperous and lose. Even if there are such rumors, it is not certain that there are still people who are happy.

This is the difference between Qin Shaoyou and Wei family. In Chang'an, people will naturally protect the interests of the Wei family, the wealthy family, the family and civil and military officials. Without Wei, there will be people with the surname Zhang and Wang. The Wei family cannot be replaced. In Luoyang, if Qin Shaoyou is gone, the weather may change. Those who live a free and easy life may be eaten alive.

This is the source of Qin Shaoyou's confidence. Anyone who enters Qin Shaoyou's system will naturally become a member of this system and plays his own role. Once he becomes this role, their life, death, honor and disgrace will be closely related to Qin Shaoyou.…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

There is now a tide in Hangu Pass.

Countless military horses had already arrived, and Wei Xuanzhen, the attendant who stayed here, was worried for a long time after hearing Qin Shaoyou's open rebellion. He came here to supervise the army, but this supervisor knew nothing about military affairs. However, the son-in-law Zhang Jin knew a little, so he had to ask Zhang Jin for everything.

Zhang Jin was quite optimistic about the current situation and explained the general situation to Wei Xuanzhen. Wei Xuanzhen then breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Qin Shaoyou was already hard to take care of each other, so it was easy to deal with. It was also difficult for the Wei family's arrangement and management years. In order to prevent Qin Shaoyou, in order to prevent Qin Shaoyou, he stationed a large number of elite soldiers in Hangu Pass and strengthened the fortifications and protection of Hangu Pass. In addition to the several Wei princes arranged in Xuzhou, they have now achieved results. Qin Shaoyou claimed to have 300,000 elite soldiers, but in fact they were only just over 200,000. In addition, the troops were dispersed. In addition, it was difficult to draw any troops besides barely confronting the imperial army in Hangu Pass. Wei Chenliang is said to be very arrogant and domineering now. He repeatedly asked small groups of military horses to harass Qin Shaoyou and slowly consume Qin Shaoyou's strength. This... is a good idea.

It seems...time is on the Wei family's side, so... now you only need to keep Hangu Pass, and things will be easier.

After figuring this out, Wei Xuanzhen was shocked. Seeing that Qin Shaoyou was not in a hurry to attack, he further confirmed his guess, and thus his life returned to his former appearance and was still at ease.
