Chapter 111 I will win the first battle

The first thought in Wang Renze's mind at this time was to immediately send people to Hangu Pass to seize various passes. After a little calming and thinking about it, even if he could send troops in such a hasty way, even if he could defeat the Tang army, there would be no results.

Once the surprise attack fails, the Tang army will definitely give up the opportunity to attack this sneak attack. Wang Renze is very unwilling to accept it. His cousin Wang Xuanying has an average qualification. Among the entire Wang royal family, the only cousin Wang Renyi can be incomparable.

It was difficult to satisfy Wang Renze's desire to defend Hangu Pass and repel the Tang army.

Cui Binyou looked at Wang Renze with a thoughtful look and guessed that Wang Renze must have wanted to eat all the attacking Tang army in one bite. If the 20,000 stones of grain is calculated based on one month of consumption, it is enough for 20,000 people to eat. In other words, this army should not be less than 15,000 people, and it is very likely to be around 20,000 or 25,000 people.

Wang Renze thought it was very likely that this news was obtained through very secret information channels. The Tang army probably didn't know that he had actually known the news that the Tang army was dispatched. He had a plan and had a very high chance of winning. What's more, the geographical location of Hangu Pass was excellent. The Hangu Valley, which lasted more than 140 miles long, was full of excellent places for ambushing.

Even if there is no fight, there will be no Tang army that broke into Hangu Pass. On the other hand, the Tang army was not prepared at this time. Once they are ambushed, what else can they do besides surrender?

The most important thing is that once you can defeat the Tang army, you will definitely establish a supreme position and prestige in the Wang Zheng court. At that time, whether it is Wang Renyi or Wang Xuanying, what can you do to compete with me?

Cui Binyou said: "Donald Ming wants to wipe out the invading Tang Kou?"

Wang Renze nodded, and then Wang Renze told Cui Binyou about his plan to lead the Tang army into the trap. This is a chain of plans. Once the Tang army finds out that they have fallen into the trap, there are only three options: surrender, fight to the death or escape. No matter how the Tang army reacts, Wang Renze will take the initiative. What he actually expects most is the Tang army to escape.

There is a tactic he learned from Zhu Can, which is to drive away the defeated soldiers and let the soldiers in the alms disguised themselves as enemy defeated soldiers, mingle in the defeated soldiers, and flee to the enemy city. As long as the soldiers in the alms enter the enemy city, they can seize the city while the chaos is concerned.

If it goes well, he can also take the opportunity to seize Tongguan. Once Tongguan is lost, it will have a great impact on the situation in Guanzhong, Li Tang. Once Tongguan is lost, Guanzhong will have no danger to defend and fall into passive defense. He can also lead his army to the city of Chang'an at any time.

In addition, you can also take advantage of the opportunity when Li Tang could not react and seize Puzhou. Puzhou and Tongguan are across the river, which is also a bridgehead for Li Tang to connect with Hedong. As long as Puzhou is taken, the original passive strategic situation of the Wang Zheng court can turn it to death. Advance can be attacked from Mengjin, and retreat can isolate Guanzhong and Hedong. At that time, Li Tang will suffer three-sided attacks. Even if the territory is good, he will be struggling and exhausted.

...

In the dark night, the long team could not see at a glance. After Wang Renze received the news, he led his headquarters and Guo Qing's troops, a total of more than 10,000 troops along the Hangu Pass Canyon toward Tongguan.

Due to the narrow valley and the rugged road, Shan Xiongxin's troops were like a fire dragon, moving forward rapidly in the winding valley. Shan Xiongxin rode his horse at the forefront of the team. Shan Xiongxin was a rare brave general, but in the Romance of the Romance, Shan Xiongxin would rather die than surrender to Li Tang, mainly because Shan Xiongxin had a grudge against Li Tang.

This is actually a fictional plot. Shan Xiongxin would rather die than surrender to the Tang Dynasty because of the official atmosphere in the early Tang Dynasty. Unlike Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and Yuchi Gong, Shan Xiongxin was a truly poor family. However, in Li Tang, it was because the aristocratic family controlled the government and attached great importance to their background. Therefore, Shan Xiongxin was very clear that even if he surrendered to Li Tang, it would be difficult for him to obtain a high position like Luo Shixin, Qin Qiong, and Cheng Yaojin.

Another point is that Shan Xiongxin is like Guan Yu, who is very stupid and loyal. He came from a poor family. Wang Shichong married his daughter and appointed him as a general. He was kind to him as a charity, so he was like Guan Yu, who was crushed to Liu Bei to pieces.

Guanzhou General Manager Guo Qing followed Shan Xiongxin immediately after the excitement of Shan Xiongxin. Guo Qing looked very worried: "General, can we fight Li Tang? Now Tang is strong and Zheng is weak, Li Tang has many soldiers and a wide range of generals..."

"If you can fight or not, you will know only if you have fought!" Shan Xiongxin said disapprovingly: "Li Tang has many soldiers and generals. That's because Li Tang occupied a large territory, can collect more taxes, and can support a lot of soldiers. Your Majesty is ready to attack Zhu Can after the New Year. As long as we take down the fertile land of Jingxiang, our Zheng State can get twelve more states, collect millions of stones of grain, and support more than 100,000 troops. It's hard to say who belongs to the country at that time! But as long as we can seize Tongguan, we can win several months for Your Majesty. We will either send troops to Chang'an or Puzhou, and we will be invincible."

Guo Qing woke up from his dream and nodded repeatedly. "The general is still a master of talent, just like a national player, but it is just a one-on-one move, but there is a difference."

"This is all Bo Shi's plan, I just sit back and enjoy the success." Shan Xiongxin came from a poor family and had a low education, so he respected scholars very much. He said sincerely: "Cui Bo Shi is a national scholar!"

Guo Qing was amazed: "The general is brave and powerful, Bo Shi's strategy, and His Majesty has the help of the general and Mr. Bo Shi, great things can be accomplished."

Shan Xiongxin laughed and patted Guo Qing on the shoulder, looking proud.

Shan Xiongxin observed the Zheng army soldiers left and right and found that although the soldiers were very tired, they were very excited, and they talked dirty words all the way.

"The morale of the army is available!" Shan Xiongxin smacked his lips. "According to this, this general does not take Tongguan, Tongguan is mine. Although Li Tang has many talents and both civil and military talents, they cannot be used seriously. A hero like Chen Ying actually dismissed his official position, which is a huge loss."

When Guo Qing heard Chen Ying's name, he said with lingering fear: "Fortunately he was not valued, otherwise there would be no chance for us!"

Guo Qing didn't know, but in fact he was thinking too much.

...

When leaving Weizhou, snowflakes began to float in the sky. The soldiers carried them and felt the slight coolness of the snowflakes in the sky on their faces. The journey to the east was extremely difficult.

However, there were also older soldiers sighing: "Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest, and next year will be another good year!"

Another young soldier holding a shield said, "Have you heard that, Your Majesty has begun to promulgate the equal fields!"

“What is the same as the world?”

A man who looked like a lieutenant said, "It is just a distribution of land. Your Majesty said that middle-aged men and Ding men over 18 years old will each receive 80 mu of land and 20 mu of land for Yongye. Old men will be disabled and 40 mu of land for the lieutenant, and widows will be given 30 mu of land for the lieutenant. If these people are the heads of households, each of them will be given 20 mu of land for the lieutenant and 30 mu of land for the lieutenant."

The older soldier asked with anticipation: "Does anyone like us have a lot of land?"

"We have fought all over the world, how could there be no field part of ours?" The captain laughed loudly and said, "It's best to send troops now. After the war, we still have time to plow in spring. Next autumn, we will have everything!"

Chen Ying listened to the lowly comments of the soldiers around him, with a smile on his face. At this moment, Asunasmo pushed open the car door and got on the carriage and said to Chen Ying: "General, you have a rest first. It will take four hours to catch up with the large army! This time, the fat raised in the autumn will be lost."

Chen Ying smiled, wrapped his big down quilt on his body, and lay down to rest. At this time, it was useless to worry randomly. He fell asleep in a daze and woke up. It was already dark. In the dimly lit carriage, Ashinasmo was also snoring in a sheepskin robe. He lifted the curtain of the car door and looked at the snow-covered world outside. Chen should ask the guard guards who were guarding: "Where is this?"

"Just crossing the riverside" the guard replied.

"So fast." Chen Ying got out of the carriage and looked at the side of Hebin County. At this time, it was less than a hundred miles away from Tongguan.

On the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month of the second year of Wude, Chen Ying finally arrived outside Tongguan City in the evening. At this time, the Prince of the East Palace led the left and right guards, and the Prince of the East Palace led the four (guards) and the 18 Zhechong Mansions had arrived outside Tongguan City, and the battle camp had been set up. Chen Ying did not rest and took Ashinasmo to the central army's tent.

When Chen Ying arrived at the Central Army's tent, the generals were already on guard. In the center of the Central Army's tent was a huge sand table with a length of more than one meter wide, and Liu Tong was slowly inserting small flags on the sand table, which were replaced by red, green, blue and black colors.

"We'll pay homage to the general!"

"The generals are exempted from the gift!"

Chen Ying looked at the sand table without looking at the sand table, but looked at the generals present with sharp eyes: "How is the Beiwei Army training?"

Chen Ying looked at Wei Wenzhong. To be familiar with Chen Ying's combat tactics and training soldiers, it was Wei Wenzhong's most familiar with Chen Ying's method. It can be said that whether it is the Xun Mansion led by the Right Guard of the Eastern Palace, the Right Guard, or even the Dingyuan Army, it is the same. Chen Ying only came up with a pioneering opinion, and the specific person to execute it was Wei Wenzhong.

"Report to the general, it's great!" Wei Wenzhong said with a romance: "These soldiers, each of them are strong and have strong temperaments, are all rare elite soldiers."

"Learning is false, seeing is true!" Chen Ying waved his hand: "Let them gather and accept the review of this general!"

"The last general will receive the order!"

Chen Ying led the generals led by the left and right guards, and walked out of the central army in the tent. At this time, the troops standing outside the central army's tent were the Beiwei Army. Looking around, the formation was neat, with black flags, black helmets and black armor, like a black mountain, no matter the winds east, west, south, north, and slight silk remained motionless.

Although many new soldiers from the left and right guards of the East Palace had no practical experience, these Beiwei Army soldiers were at least two or three years old. Moreover, these soldiers were all tall and big, with murderous auras soaring into the sky, and their armored soldiers were soaring. Even Chen Ying looked at this scene and his heart was turbulent.

As a brand new force, the Beiwei Army has different equipment. In Chen Ying's eyes, the Beiwei Army is his direct reconnaissance regiment, his eyes, his ears, and his hands.

The cold wind as strong as a knife and the snow particles that were smashed down by small stones did not make them feel a little depressed.

Chen Ying said loudly: "Good soldiers are not trained, they are all sold out. You have received the most basic mountain war training. As for the effect, it needs to be tested in actual combat. Each of you is the most accompaniment of the Rong Clerk, but it is said that it is an army armed with the lieutenant. Is it worth it or it is a false appearance? Today we can see your performance!"

"Use me in the first battle, and I will win!" The soldiers of Beiwei Army shouted in unison: "Use me in the first battle, and I will win!"

"Slogans are useless. I will see your actual performance. Whether you can win a wife and a son or not, and whether you can shine on your lintel. Let's fight tonight." Chen Ying waved his hand and several guards carried the huge sand table to the soldiers of the Beiwei Army.

"Your combat missions have been arranged. The red represents the first regiment, the blue represents the second regiment, the green represents the third regiment, and the black represents the fourth regiment!" Chen Ying said: "Now we are familiar with the combat missions of each regiment for one hour to rest and prepare, and after one hour, we will immediately launch an attack!"

"Respect!"
