Logically speaking, the journey from Hanzhong to Yongzhou through Tongguan and Hangu before entering Yongzhou was indeed much more difficult for the Jin army to enter Hanzhong.
The most critical part is the journey from Hanzhong to Yongzhou, which is the most time-consuming. The plank road is difficult to travel, and this section of the road is the most troublesome when the Jin army's reinforcements return.
It can only be said that it was fate. At this time, the horses from Liangzhou Racecourse were about to be transported to Yongzhou. Bai Qi immediately ordered someone to tell Li Jing, whose troops were about to arrive in Hanzhong, the news.
It was precisely because of the coincidental arrival of this batch of war horses that Li Jing finally came up with an idea. If this group of war horses had not arrived at this time, Li Jing might have been able to really find a way to get through Chi You's obstruction.
In this battle, the Jin army's soldiers and horses on all battlefields suffered heavy losses, and the same was true for the cavalry. After this battle is over, these horses will be sent to various armies for replenishment.
Among Yongzhou, you can go directly to Sizhou through Hangu Pass, and you can go to Jingbei via Wuguan and Lantian. It is relatively convenient to replenish the armies. Therefore, the horses from Liangzhou Racecourse were transported to Yongzhou. The purpose is to wait until the first time after the war and distribute them to various armies for replenishment.
Secondly, the war situation in Xizhou is still at a disadvantage, and it will also have a certain impact on the security of Liangzhou. Yongzhou is relatively safer than Liangzhou.
When Li Jing learned that these horses from Liangzhou were on their way to Yongzhou, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and exclaimed that he was lucky.
Originally he was worried about how to break through Chi You's obstruction after the army left Hanzhong, but after receiving the news from Bai Qi, Li Jing already knew that their fighter planes were coming, and he also understood what Bai Qi meant.
Great opportunity! God-given goodness!
Many times, in addition to personal ability, fighting also requires a little bit of luck! But this time it was Li Jing's luck that he happened to encounter such a thing.
Even if Li Jing's reinforcements arrived in Yongzhou, there was still a long way to go from Yongzhou to Sizhou. However, if you equip yourself with war horses as soon as you arrive at Yongzhou and run thousands of miles, Then, the time saved in this process will be countless.
The enemy didn't know that the war horses were being transported from Liangzhou to Yongzhou. If Li Jing had clearly taken the front line of Hanzhong, but secretly left some of his troops behind, secretly walked the plank road from Hanzhong to Yongzhou, and then rode the war horses from Yongzhou directly to Si. The state will definitely be able to catch the Northern Allied Forces off guard.
Although the army of the Jin army that defeated Shu was dominated by infantry, there was still some cavalry. However, the plank road is difficult to walk on. The cavalry can only walk step by step on the plank road. It is impossible for the horse to gallop. The speed of the cavalry here is not as fast as the speed of the infantry here. It can even be said that it is even worse. A big chunk.
What Li Jing and Bai Qi want to do now is to gather the cavalry from the army conquering Shu and let them dismount and walk across the plank road. After arriving in Yongzhou, those war horses can come in handy.
Judging from the time, it is impossible for a troop to reach Sizhou at this time, but it suddenly arrived at Sizhou at this time. Who among the coalition forces could have imagined? And if the other party doesn't expect it, they are destined to suffer!
No one could have predicted this completely unexpected situation, not even Bai Qi could have predicted it in this environment, and the same was true for Li Jing. It's the same if it's Han Xin. Even these god-level commanders are still humans, not gods.
As the commander-in-chief of the Conquest of Shu, Li Jing attracted the attention of all the Kanto princes. If he disappeared from the reinforcements, he might be able to hide it for a while, but he would never be able to hide it for the rest of his life.
Once something is noticed by the coalition forces, then such a good opportunity to attack them unprepared will probably be wasted. If Li Jing disappears from the sight of the coalition forces, the coalition forces will definitely be more vigilant. It will be difficult to think of something unexpected!
Therefore, Li Jing is the one who absolutely cannot carry out this task! In fact, not only Li Jing, but also the Jin army's governor-level or deputy governor-level officials should not appear!
Those who have reached this level are already well-known in the world. Even if the attention they receive is far less than that of Li Jing, it will not be less.
And for this mission, the best thing is a person who is strong enough, but relatively not well-known! After choosing and choosing, Li Jing finally set his sights on Li Cunxu, who was from the same clan.
With Li Cunxu's background and his ability, even if he has some minor flaws in his character, although it is difficult to climb to the position of chief governor, it is more than enough for him to be a deputy governor. With his ability, if If the opportunity comes, you can definitely achieve it.
However, Li Cunxu has not yet accumulated this share of credit. In the case where Li Xiang did not open the back door and specifically gave him a chance, it would still take some time for Li Cunxu to reach this point based on his personal ability alone. Without giving him a chance, the accumulation of this share of credit cannot be achieved in one or two battles.
Furthermore, Li Cunxu's father Li Keyong was already the deputy governor of Liangzhou. Both father and son held high positions. The most important thing was this high position of real power, and this real power also involved military power. Even if they are from the same clan, Li Xiang should avoid it as much as possible unless it is absolutely necessary.
On the other hand, when Li Keyong was able to climb to the position of deputy governor, it was not largely because of his merits, but because he was old enough, and there was a need for such a person at that time, and he It just happened to be the best choice at the time. Therefore, Li Keyong was able to climb to the position of deputy governor of Liangzhou so early.
Although Li Keyong enjoyed this position in advance, he will naturally have to make up for it later. Not only Li Keyong, but Li Cunxu also had to contribute to this.
Li Cunxu is not inconspicuous among the many generals of the Jin army, but his popularity is at least not comparable to those of the Grand Governor and Deputy Governor. In addition, his ability is sufficient, so he is perfect for carrying out this task. candidate.
From this, just when everyone thought that Li Jing was attacking Nanxiang with heavy troops, a cavalry force of 30,000 people quietly arrived in Sizhou at night and arrived outside Yuan Shao's military camp.
