Chapter 523 An Old Friend Meets an Old Friend With a Fist in the Back

"My lord, are you going to attack Heyang Pass tonight?"

In the camp on the south bank of the Yellow River, Li Bi asked He Bayue who was meditating.Even after attacking Heyang Pass for two days, they failed to win.The old problems that have not been resolved are still bothering Li Bi.

The pontoon bridge at Heyang Pass is too narrow, no matter how many troops attack, there will always be a few people fighting.The defenders can use this to even out the difference in numbers between the two warring parties.

In addition, Gao Huanjun was forced to the point of jumping, which aroused hemorrhage instead, and Li Bi was very aggrieved these two days.

The river bridge is narrow, and there is no place for any strategy of war, and the superiority of troops cannot be turned into victory. They can only rely on piles of heads to fight for physical strength, consuming the physical strength and lives of the defenders.Li Bikong has a whole body of martial arts that he can't use.

Obviously, if the Heyang Pass cannot be attacked from the north and the south, it is impossible for Gao Huan's soldiers who have been driven to a desperate situation to succumb.In order to attack Heyang Pass, a pontoon bridge must be erected on the Yellow River to cross the Yellow River to gain a foothold on the north bank.

But not far to the north of Heyang Pass is Beizhong City. From the top of the city, you can monitor every move on this pontoon bridge.

Therefore, when He Bayue erected the pontoon bridge, the other party might not respond to it. Once they crossed the river, they would definitely encounter the reinforcements of Gao Huan's army in Beizhongcheng, and it would be another decisive battle.

He Bayue didn't want to forcefully cross the Yellow River before he was fully prepared, and then made the mistakes Gao Huan made before, leading to a reversal of offense and defense.

Before ordering Li Bi to attack Heyang Pass, it was only in the attitude of "trying it out", and he really didn't expect that a random attack would be able to take down this crucial place that determines the overall situation of the war.

Now that Li Bi asked this question, it was obvious that he didn't want to fight like this anymore.

"Pay close attention to the situation at Heyang Pass tonight, prevent the enemy from leaving the pass and attack the camp, and suspend the attack on Heqiao."

He Bayue ordered in a deep voice.

"Here, the last general will go to arm the defense."

Li Bi took the order to go, this was exactly the answer he needed, there was nothing wrong with it.

In fact, there is an important flaw in this order, that is, Gao Huan's troops, in addition to going out of the city to attack, can also choose to escape!But neither He Bayue nor Li Bi felt that Gao Huan's men would retreat.

In fact, Gao Huan couldn't run anywhere.Heyang Pass and Beizhong City are a two-in-one defense system. If one is lost, the other will be lost soon.

And this vital point guarding the gap in the northwest of Luoyang is lost, Gao Huan, who has already suffered a disastrous defeat, will face unprecedented difficulties!Thinking of himself and others, He Bayue thought it was impossible for Gao Huan to retreat at this time.

If he retreats, it will be no less than Cao Cao's retreat to Xudu during the Battle of Guandu, where he will fight Yuan Shaojun decisively!
This is a terrible thing, and it will cause an avalanche of the strategic situation. He Bayue doesn't think Gao Huan has the courage to do so.

"My lord, General Wei asked to see me, saying that I have a plan to defeat the enemy and I want to offer it to my lord."

A soldier came over and reported loudly.

Again?Didn't you get enough of the limelight last time?
Li Bi, who was just about to get out of the tent, turned back and stood next to He Bayue calmly, as if he was very interested in listening to Wei Xiaokuan's "high theory".

Wei Xiaokuan has the fault of "being good at being a teacher". Although Liu Yishou also has this fault, the difference in the status of the two of them in the army makes others have completely different perceptions of them.

The generals under Liu Yishou all thought that their lord was resourceful, and it was easy to fight under his command, and many things had already been arranged.It is very comfortable to work with this kind of master, less worry and safe.

In fact, the more warlords know how to fight, the more they are loved by their subordinates. This has been the case since ancient times.

Liu Yu, Li Er, Zhu Yuanzhang and others are all big bosses who like to go to the front line to command in person, and they often give advice to their subordinates on the art of war and act arbitrarily.

But Wei Xiaokuan was just a wage earner, he would leapfrog his superiors to raise opinions from time to time, and often questioned He Bayue's decision-making, but afterwards proved his opinion to be correct. This feeling is a bit like Tian Feng in Yuan Shao's camp back then.

You are lofty, you are great, you are the only one who knows how to fight, right?Do you still want to move a horse to teach me how to fight now?

Many people under He Bayue's command thought so, and some of them had the same muscles and brains as Da Xiwu, but they didn't have the tolerance that Da Xiwu possessed.

Wen Wu first and Wu Wu second, Wei Xiaokuan unconsciously offended a large group of generals under He Bayue's command.If only you can do it, does that mean that no one else can do it?
This is especially fatal, that's why He Bayue let Wei Xiaokuan guard Luoyang.

Can such an appointment be credited?Sure can.

Does He Bayue trust Wei Xiaokuan very much?Isn't it enough to let him guard the granary?

But He Bayue also understood what He Bayue wanted to express.

I know you have a lot of ideas, but the army is a whole, so you should be honest and don't be too jumpy, and don't just point out how to fight.

But I don't know if Wei Xiaokuan's emotional intelligence is too low, or he didn't realize it at all. This uncle left Luoyang's military affairs again and came to the front line to "teach" He Bayue how to fight.

He Bayue was obviously upset, but he really couldn't hit him.

Anyone can put on Wei Xiaokuan's face, even sarcasm.Only He Bayue can't do it, because he is the master and not a subordinate.

"Xiaokuan, what are you doing on the front line when you're not guarding the granary in Luoyang? You're dereliction of duty."

As soon as they met, He Bayue said half-jokingly.

"My lord, we wasted money with Gao Huan at Heyang Pass, because we fell for Gao Huan's plan to race horses. He is already taking the first-class horses for our first-class horses. Soon Gao Huan will withdraw to Hanoi and lead us to attack.

The north of Hanoi County is mountainous with complex terrain.He will exchange our high-grade horses with our medium-grade horses there, and when we are exhausted and exhausted, he will exchange our medium-grade horses with our low-grade horses to force us to retreat. "

Wei Xiaokuan said excitedly, but others were confused!
Li Bi teased unceremoniously: "General Wei, we are all vulgar people, we don't understand you high-class horses and low-class horses, please explain clearly."

Although he was sarcastic, he was right.Wei Xiaokuan was still immersed in his own thinking, and did not turn it into words that others could understand.

"To put it simply, Gao Huan wants to run away, but he won't run back to Yecheng. He wants to repair in Hanoi County and pull us to the outside line to fight! Once we enter Hanoi County, the food supply will increase a lot. At that time, Gao Huan's army can cut off our food road.

If we ignore the situation in Hanoi County and directly attack Fangtou or Yecheng eastward, then they will harass us from behind, or even raid Luoyang.

In short, when the time comes, our soldiers and horses will be full of flaws everywhere, and the general will not know which link will go wrong. It should be said that every link will go wrong. "

Wei Xiaokuan said very seriously.

In the past, they were able to win Gao Huan by waiting for work, because the grain and grass in Luoyang could be supplied to the army on Mount Mang, and they could ensure that the nearby Heyang Pass would not run out of food.Because the food road is extremely short, there is no possibility of Gao Huan's army robbing food.

But once He Bayue's troops hit the outside line, the defect of insufficient troops will continue to magnify, and the security of the food road will be further highlighted.

Do you need soldiers and horses to maintain the food road?
Do you need soldiers and horses to guard Beizhongcheng and Heyang Pass?
Do you need soldiers and horses to guard Luoyang?
People are needed everywhere, and the troops will naturally be dispersed!If Gao Huan sent elite soldiers to attack everywhere, who would care?
Although what Wei Xiaokuan said is only a possibility, this possibility cannot be ignored.

"Then what do you think?"

He Bayue asked calmly, as if he didn't take Wei Xiaokuan's statement seriously.

"My lord, Gao Huan's anger is not exhausted, and the risk of attacking Yecheng is very high, so it is better to plan it slowly.

On the other hand, now that the plan to seize Luoyang has been realized, it is time to manage Luoyang well.

We want to transform Luoyang into a fortress with deep ditch and barriers, so that Gao Huan can't give up here, and can't get it.Then let him continue bloodletting in Luoyang.

In this way, ten years later, we can calmly send troops to attack Yecheng. "

The more Wei Xiaokuan talked, the more excited he became.

"What kind of deep ditch barrier method?"

He Bayue frowned and asked.

"The people of Luoyang migrated to Hongnong, and the scribes who maintained the operation of the imperial court in Jinyong City were transferred to Guanzhong for resettlement. While stationing in Luoyang, we expanded Luoyang's defense facilities with Jinyong City as the core, and then..."

Before Wei Xiaokuan finished speaking, He Bayue waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to say anything more.

"Winning Luoyang was a preparation for moving the capital. It is the general trend to return to the imperial capital and win people's hearts. How can we use the old capital as a chamber pot?"

Regardless of whether what Wei Xiaokuan said is very effective in the military, but his starting point in politics is completely different from his own!It is impossible for He Bayue to accept his suggestion and really build Luoyang into a battlefield full of trenches.

Now that the roots are gone, Wei Xiaokuan's suggestion has become rootless duckweed, and there is no need to discuss it.

"Hebei is rich, if you give Gao Huan time to recover, the next time you deal with it, it will not be as easy as before. So what you have to plan is how we can hit Yecheng as soon as possible! What you just said, There is no point of reference."

He Bayue flatly refused.

Wei Xiaokuan felt dejected, if it was just to make a suggestion, why did he come to the front line from Yongjin City?Isn't it because these things are not clearly explained in the letter.

He and He Bayue couldn't agree on the key issue of how to deal with Luoyang City.Wei Xiaokuan felt that Luoyang had been abolished as an imperial capital, and it could only be rebuilt and revived after the world was completely unified.

The place where they are based is still Guanzhong, and it has been Guanzhong for a long time.

He Bayue's idea of ​​"restoring the old capital" is completely unacceptable. Luoyang should be a battlefield that attracts Gao Huan's main force.

"But you still talk about how to march into Yecheng if we capture Heyang Pass and Beizhong City."

He Bayue might also feel that his tone was too serious, so he couldn't help avoiding the topic just now.

"My lord, there is no way. Gao Huan will definitely drag the battlefield to Hanoi County, which will put us in a dilemma. If we want to attack Yecheng, we must take the Fangtou line. It is better to take a detour from the south bank of the Yellow River and take Baimadu."

Wei Xiaokuan frowned slightly and said.

"That Dudu Liu of the Liang Kingdom is not easy to dismiss, why don't you lead your troops to drive him back to Lianghuai?"

Seeing Wei Xiaokuan run the train with his mouth full, Li Bi couldn't help ridiculing him.

It's easy to say, you can do it!

Wei Xiaokuan definitely wouldn't go, because he knew he was asking for trouble.At present, no matter what, he can't fight Liu Yishou, otherwise he will be out of Guanzhong for nothing this time!

"Okay, okay, stop arguing."

He Bayue waved his hand, signaling for both of them to calm down.

"General Li will make some repairs today and prepare to attack the pontoon bridge tomorrow. General Wei should go back to Luoyang to defend the city, pay attention to contact the aristocratic families in Luoyang city.

As for the construction of the pontoon bridge, I will take care of it myself.Tomorrow, the three armies will cross the river and fight Gao Huan's army in Beizhong City.

Let that be the case, no more arguing. "

He Bayue made the final decision, tomorrow will be a decisive battle on the north bank of the Yellow River!
"My lord, in this case, later..."

Wei Xiaokuan wanted to say more, but when he saw He Bayue looking at him with an unfriendly expression, he immediately shut up.

"Here, the general will go back to Luoyang to inspect the granary."

Wei Xiaokuan bowed his hands in salute, and then left the tent.

……

On the bank of Suoshui near Xingyang, Liu Yishou was sitting on a big rock to fish.Gao Ling sat beside him, also holding a fishing rod, concentrating on fishing, looking very serious.

"Oh, I took the bait, I took the bait, it's so heavy!"

Gao Ling's fishing rod made a sharp bend, as if he had caught a big fish.

Liu Yishou quickly got up and grabbed the fishing rod, and suddenly felt as if a big rock was tied to the end of the fishing rod.

The two struggled to lift the fish, and it turned out to be a big golden carp.

As long as an adult's calf!
"This fish is about to become a spirit, let it live."

Liu Yishou smiled and said to Gao Ling.

"Oh, okay."

Gao Ling was obviously a little unhappy, but she still listened to Liu Yishou's persuasion.After all, she now knows that Liu Yishou is her father Gao Huan's great enemy!

Or it would be more appropriate to call it an endless enemy.

She didn't dare to disobey Liu Yishou's demands, even though Liu Yishou usually didn't have any demands on her.

The two put the big golden carp back into the cable water, and the fish slapped its tail aggressively, causing water to splash and wet Gao Ling's dress.

"Go back to the city and take a shower and change your clothes. I have something to tell you later."

Liu Yishou nodded to Gao Ling and said.

After the latter bid farewell and left, Yang Xiuzhi came over and suggested to Liu Yishou in a low voice: "My lord, it's not your business alone, it's an attitude. Many people are watching The attitude of the lord."

"Actually, I was thinking, how about marrying her to you? Anyway, you haven't married a wife yet. Gao Huan's prostitute is worthy of you, right?"

Liu Yishou asked with a half-smile.

"Could it be that my lord is trying to force my subordinates to rebel? If you marry Gao Ling, then your subordinates might as well commit suicide. My lord, stop joking."

Yang Xiuzhi sighed, Liu Yishou threw Gao Ling out, but he didn't dare to catch it, the Gao family is not the Yuan family after all.If it was Yuan's sister, he would not refuse.

At this moment, Yang Zhong came over and reported: "Master, the granary in Luoyang City has been found, and it is in Luoyang Palace."

The person who came up with the idea of ​​using the abandoned imperial palace as a granary must not have taken Wei Guo seriously in his bones, at least he didn't take the former imperial capital seriously.

"In this way, you and Ma Buddha read them and lead a thousand death squads to go out to Luoyang to burn the granary, and I will not go."

Liu Yishou waved his hand, as if he had no interest in going with him at all.

"My lord, if you are here, your morale will be high."

Yang Zhong couldn't help but suggested.

"If I am here, if something happens to you, you will have to rack your brains to protect me, and you will not be able to concentrate on completing the task.

If I am not here, you will only think about burning the granary.So I'd better not go. "

Liu Yishou talked eloquently and made some truths.

However, Yang Zhong felt that what he said was an alternative way of saying that "a gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall, and a rich man does not sit in a hall".

"Understood, this subordinate will make arrangements now." Yang Zhong turned to leave, but was stopped by Liu Yishou.

"Don't worry, it's okay to find out the military situation before going. It's okay to be two days late, and it will be bad if the fever is early."

"Understood, please rest assured, my lord."

Yang Zhong bowed his hands and bowed, then went to the direction of the camp outside the city.
