The four major passes in Guanzhong are Dongtong Pass, Nanwuguan, Xisan Pass and Beixiao Pass. As long as you keep these four levels, you can largely avoid the enemy's military threat to you.
Just like guarding the eight passes of Luoyang, the enemy will be helpless against Luoyang. If it weren't for the existence of Taihang Eight Passes, Luoyang Eight Passes and other great passes, Li Xiang would not have been able to attack Yongliang Prefecture so easily this time.
Not to mention the distance, if it were not for the strength of Hulao Pass, it would be impossible for Wei Qing's current troops to withstand the joint attack of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.
Therefore, Li Xiang must win the four levels in Guanzhong as soon as possible.
"Feng Yi listens to the order. You will immediately lead seven thousand cavalry to take over Wuguan."
"Chang Yuchun listens to the order. You will immediately lead five thousand cavalry to take over Sanguan."
"Dou Xian listens to the order. You will immediately lead three thousand cavalry to take over Tongguan!" Li Xiang said to the three generals in the tent.
The three generals Feng Yi, Chang Yuchun, and Dou Xian basically have a basic command value of 97 or 98 points. Such ability, if placed in any single dynasty, would definitely rank among the top.
Especially Chang Yuchun, in addition to being peerless in terms of command, he is also peerless in terms of force.
However, now in this chaotic era, even god-level commanders have been born in more than two hands, let alone these peerless commanders.
When it comes to god-level commanders, Li Xiang has the most among the forces under his command. And every time when choosing a general, if there is a god-level commander, you must choose a god-level commander. No matter what happens, you will choose a peerless peak-level commander.
Therefore, generals at the level of Feng Yi, Chang Yuchun, and Dou Xian are more embarrassed. It is precisely because of this that they have not yet shown their true abilities. Except for Feng Yi, who was born relatively early, the contributions made by others are very limited.
Considering this, Li Xiang gave this task that was almost free of credit to these three people.
"Lord, is Wuguan's only 7,000 troops a bit too small?" Bai Qi asked with some worry.
Tongguan aside, this is already meat in the bowl and no one can snatch it away. There is no big problem in dispersing the customs. Yizhou has its own troubles. Moreover, unless there is news that Yang Jian's defeat is certain, Liu Che will not easily reach out here even if it is to allow Yang Jian to deal with Li Xiang with peace of mind.
Now, although Yang Jian's defeat has been determined, according to the conditions of Yizhou's inquiry, when the news reaches Yizhou, and when Liu Che reacts, Chang Yuchun's cavalry will not know how long it has been since they arrived at Sanguan!
Now, the only one in trouble is Wuguan. Who can guarantee that Xiang Yan won't take Wuguan when he meets Xiang Yu!
"Don't worry, the Xiang clan will not challenge Wuguan!" Li Xiang chuckled.
Bai Qi looked at the problem from a military perspective, while Li Xiang looked at the problem from the relationship between Liu Xiang and Liu Xiang's forces. The results would naturally be different.
Now it was all the troops of the Xiang clan that came to trouble Li Xiang. Only Liu Yu came out from Jingbei to reassure both sides, but no troops were dispatched. It's not like Xiang Yan and Fan Zeng were so full that they had nothing to do. Taking Wuguan would only give them an advantage over the Liu family in northern Jingbei.
As for the three Liu brothers in northern Jingbei, if the second and third brothers were in charge, they would certainly have the courage to seize Wuguan. But Liu Biao, who was getting older, had better forget it. Yuan Shu was enough to involve all his thoughts.
Now, Yang Jian has reduced all his troops to Chang'an. Yang Jian now knows that it is probably impossible for him to defeat Li Xiang alone.
Instead of spreading out his troops and being defeated step by step by Li Xiang, Yang Jian chose to concentrate all his troops to defend Chang'an, hoping that he could hold on for a while longer and hope that during this period, the princes such as Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Xiang Yu could make a breakthrough. Li Xiang was forced to retreat.
In this case, the defense of Tongguan, Sanguan and Wuguan has become useless. Each checkpoint only has a few thousand miscellaneous soldiers at most, and there aren't even any decent generals. As long as Feng Yi, Chang Yuchun, and Dou Xian lead their troops past, the opponent will probably abandon the checkpoint and surrender. Bar!
"My lord, as I see below, we can start from the enemy's food and grass areas!" After Feng Yi, Chang Yuchun, and Dou Xian received the order and left, Wang Meng came out of the queue and said slowly.
"Grain and grass?" Hearing what Wang Meng said, Li Xiang was also a little confused. If the grain and grass in Chang'an City were burned, Chang'an would be easily broken.
But in this important granary, Yang Jian's guarding it was naturally a top priority. The power of the Floating Water House in Chang'an City is far from enough to do this.
"Jing Lue, Yang Jian must be very strict about the food and grass. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to attack his food and grass!" Li Xiang couldn't help but sigh slightly. At the same time, Li Xiang also expected Wang Meng to have a different opinion. After all, with Wang Meng's ability, the strategy proposed should not be so simple.
"Ding, Wang Meng's auxiliary skills are activated.
Wang Fu, rejuvenated the country and strengthened it, pacified the western frontier, wiped out Qianyan, and still worried about the country after death, Wang Meng's exclusive skills.
Effect 1: When making plans, intelligence increases by 1 to 4 points.
The second effect is that when personally leading the army in battle, one's own command will be improved by 1 to 4 points. When going out as a military advisor, the general's command will be improved by 1 to 2 points, and the general's intelligence will be improved by 1 to 2 points.
Effect three: when handling government affairs and governing the local area, politics will be improved by 1 to 4 points. When Wang Meng is appointed prime minister and trusted by the monarch, his own politics will be permanently +1.
Effect four: Before death, Wang Meng's four-dimensional attributes were temporarily greatly enhanced, and his plan was 100% accurate.
The fifth effect is that Zhuge Liang is the first person to surpass Zhuge Liang. When facing Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang's four dimensions are temporarily reduced to -1 and restored after the war.
As soon as Wang Meng's auxiliary skill is activated, intelligence +2, basic intelligence is 100, and current intelligence rises to 102. "
"Lord, if the people under Yang Jian's command do it, this trip may not be successful! Besides, if it is done by the people under Yang Jian's command, it doesn't matter even if the food and grass are not burned!" Wang Meng explained with a chuckle.
With a quick thought, Li Xiang understood what Wang Meng meant. Given Yang Jian's current situation, as long as he is promised huge profits, he may not be unable to sell off several of Yang Jian's generals.
With the help of these people and the cooperation of the floating house, the possibility of success is much greater.
Moreover, just as Wang Meng said, even if this operation fails, what does it matter? On the one hand, Li Xiang and the others did not pay much. On the other hand, his subordinates began to betray him. In this critical situation, Yang Jian was bound to become somewhat suspicious of his subordinates.
The emperor was already suspicious, and when disaster struck, it was normal for everyone to find a way out. If betrayal by his subordinates happens again, the suspicion in Yang Jian's heart will inevitably rise to the highest level.
Once there is distrust between the emperor and his ministers in Yang Jian, it will be much easier for Li Xiang to use whatever means he wants. By then, with Yang Jian having many internal problems, it will be much easier to conquer Chang'an.
Moreover, thinking of Wang Meng's suggestion, a candidate suddenly popped into Li Xiang's mind.
Yang Xuangan, this man created a rebellion against Emperor Sui Yang in his own era. When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty went to Goguryeo for the second time, he took the opportunity to rebel, which caused a great shock to the Sui Dynasty regime.
Li Xiang did not believe that Yang Xuangan had no ambition at all and was willing to be destroyed together with Yang Jian and the others. Therefore, in Li Xiang's view, it is still possible to send people to oppose Yang Xuangan.
Moreover, who is Yang Xuangan? He is Yang Su's son. If Yang Xuangan rebelled against Yang Jian, regardless of whether Yang Su was willing to follow him or not, it would be equivalent to breaking Yang Jian's arm.
Under Yang Jian's command, Yang Su was the most serious general and the one with the highest basic command value among the many generals. As for the other generals under Yang Su, such as Zhang Xutuo, Yang Lin, Yang Yichen and others are still a little behind Yang Su, it's just a matter of more or less problems!
Once Yang Jian loses Yang Su's help, it will undoubtedly remove a major obstacle for Li Xiang to successfully conquer Chang'an.
"Okay, hahaha, okay, Jing Lue's plan is indeed a brilliant one!" As soon as this plan came out, Li Xiang couldn't help but feel great!
