All the generals in the camp were waiting for the commander's order, but Gao Shun looked at Lan Yuan with great interest, "What do Boyang have in mind?"
Lan Yuan clasped his fists and replied: "Before leaving, my father told me to follow the army and watch and think more. Everything in the Southern Expedition is subject to the general's arrangements, so the general will not dare to make unreasonable remarks."
Gao Shun smiled and said: "Sir, you are too cautious. Boyang previously dealt with the rebellion and resolved General Sha's dilemma by surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao. This was also revealed in the battle with Wu General Ding Feng. Why should you continue to hide your clumsiness? Sir, suppress Zhongling. It’s because he is too young. Now that you are seventeen years old, you are still the consort of the King of Hanzhong and can show off your skills.”
"Yes, yes, the major general knows how to use troops. I am convinced." Samoko agreed, showing his big white teeth, and said to himself that it was lucky that old man Yu Fan was following the boat, otherwise he would have been humiliated for following the army, because he mentioned Luling The battle in the south was inseparable from the fact that Yu Fan was captured by Lan Yuan and brought back to Guangzhou.
"A real man must do his duty." Gao Shun urged in a deep voice.
Lan Yuan first nodded and clasped his fists, then picked up a dead branch, squatted on the ground to paint, and analyzed: "Hengshan Mountain blocks the main route, but the mountain is not high, and the pass is not as steep as the Central Plains, so it is a feasible march plan. There are three methods. The first is to attack the pass from the front, the second is to go over the Hengshan Mountain to bypass the pass, and the last is to use a boat to bypass the pass from the sea. With the current strength of our army and the strong supply at sea, the nearby defenders cannot stop it. live."
"It coincides with what I thought. Which one does Boyang prefer?" Gao Shun asked.
"The three options have their own advantages and disadvantages, but they will all consume a lot of time. This goes against our idea of quick victory, so we have to find another way after the regular route." Lan Yuan frowned.
Gao Shun waved his hand and said, "Boyang doesn't need to be secretive. You can explain the pros and cons of these routes in detail and let the generals refer to them. By the way, tell me what you call the route."
Lan Yuan smiled and nodded in response, thinking that General Gao was definitely not taking things for granted. After hearing just a few words, he knew that he had an idea. He was indeed a brilliant commander.
Lan Yuan pointed at a thick line with a dead branch and said: "We need equipment to attack the pass from the front. It will take more than a month or two to temporarily cut down the wood to make siege equipment? We can only get ready-made ones from the ship, but this involves the second The problem is, there is no suitable place to land at the nearest beach. To unload the equipment, we need to walk fifty miles north, which would be too time-consuming."
Shamoko looked at Chu Qing with confusion on his face, "The scouting range of the reconnaissance camp is so wide? It even covers the seashore dozens of miles away?"
Chu Qing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "We haven't entered the territory of Rinan yet. There are not so many people in the reconnaissance camp, and General Gao has not ordered sentries to patrol the eastern seaboard."
"Then why?" Shamoko stared at Lan Yuan with wide eyes.
Lan Yuan replied: "Principal Yu's father was once the governor of Rinan. He lived in Rinan for several years when he was young. I have asked Principal Yu for advice before. He happened to be familiar with the area around Hengshan. The seaside to the east of Hengshan is too high. , to unload the siege equipment or take a boat to go around, we need to go back now."
"Ah? Didn't the young general tell you earlier?" Samoko frowned.
"General Sha, please be patient. Boyang must have his own ideas." Gao Shun stretched out his hand to interrupt.
Lan Yuan nodded affirmatively, "General Li has hundreds of ships. It will take several days to transport all ten thousand of us to Bijing Bay. This will expose the purpose and allow the Linyi defenders to arrive a few days earlier." Prepare."
"That means climbing over the mountain?" Chu Qing showed a confused expression.
"Although Hengshan is not high, the trees on the mountain are lush and the grass grows taller than people. The mountains are full of thorns and we need to clear the way. Our horses should be able to pass through, but the Guangzhou chariots transporting armored weapons cannot..." Lan Yuan Zhi shook his head.
Shamoko scratched his head and put forward his own idea: "This won't work, that won't work either. Let's just attack by force. I'll let the barbarians take advantage of the slack of the defenders at night and climb a few people to the top of the city. As long as the door is opened, these Xu Zhan's guards are still not chopping melons and vegetables?"
At this time, Gao Shun patted Lan Yuan on the shoulder, shook his head and said with a smile: "Boyang has a clever plan, please tell me quickly. You see, General Sha is so anxious..."
"Wei." Lan Yuan clasped his fists and nodded, then pointed to the chariot behind him and said, "I also thought it would be the most time-saving to enter from the front, and when entering Hengshan Pass, those chariots will come in handy..."
After Lan Yuan expressed his thoughts, Gao Shun, Chu Qing and others looked surprised. Shamoke jumped up and pointed at Lan Yuan and praised, "After all, after General Lan, your brain is better than mine." It’s so useful that those Cham people would never have thought of it.”
"Boyang's plan is indeed very clever. Chu Sima, you immediately send people to the seaside. Let General Li Yi take the lead and order the naval forces to approach the Bijing Bay port and attract the city's defenders to the coast to defend. Cooperate with our land route tomorrow. Capture Bijing City." Gao Shun immediately ordered the deployment.
"Wei." Chu Qing stood up, clasped his fists, turned and left without hesitation.
Lan Yuan then asked Ying: "Let the last general attack from the front?"
Gao Shun shook his head and refused: "Generals must be accustomed to commanding the overall situation. There will be dedicated people responsible for being the first to enter the battle. I will select dozens of veterans at a time. There will be no problems."
"General Gao, please wait a moment. I, the Wuxi Barbarian, have not caught up with the Jingzhou War before. Sir, I have promised to give more opportunities in the Southern Expedition. You can't forget me at the critical moment." Samokopai patted his chest to invite the fight. .
"Uh... how about half of the trapped troops and half of the Wuxi barbarians, with you as the vanguard?" Gao Shun and Shamoko started discussing.
Shamoko nodded fiercely, "That's interesting. You can rest assured that the trapped troops can order and prohibit them, and my Wuxi Barbarians are not bad at all. We will hide in the car for a while and we won't even fart."
"Hahaha, I believe you, go and get ready." Gao Shun smiled and waved.
"Wei." Samoko said loudly, clasping his fists.
The trapped troops once again all wore armor, and Gao Shun gathered the reconnaissance battalion and Wuximan's cavalry. The total number was about five or six hundred people. It should be enough to think about the surprise for a while.
With ten miles left, Gao Shun ordered his troops to stop their troops and slowly advance towards Hengshan Pass.
As the sun sank over the Annamite Mountains, the entire land suddenly lost its color.
In front of Hengshan Pass, a large convoy slowly approached not far away. Several soldiers wearing simple rattan armor immediately reported the abnormal situation to the general guarding the pass.
After a while, several generals wearing fine leather armor appeared on the tower.
Lin Yiguo had long since severed diplomatic relations with the Han Dynasty, and only allowed people-to-people exchanges and restricted commercial transportation.
The dozen or so vehicles in front of them were huge, and each was pulled by four mules and horses. If the mules and horses were not relatively small, the defenders would have suspected that they were chariots.
The opening and closing time of Hengshan Pass is based on the rise and fall of the sun. Strange cars and strange times. The defenders attach great importance to strange events.
