Nearly ten days.
Dingzhou, Dingdongguan.
Dongfang held a piece of information in high esteem and closed his eyes for a long time. As he had always worried, a big disaster had finally occurred on Huang Daochong's side.
But after the war gradually became clear, the only good thing was that Chang Sheng in the snowy winter could not rush back early with the tens of thousands of people transferred from Dawan Pass.
"My lord, we have started guarding the gate." Dongfang Jing covered up his sadness and spoke calmly.
"Send an order, except for the 30,000 people in Dingbeiguan, all other troops in Dingzhou should be gathered."
"Little military advisor, are you preparing to attack Dayuan Pass... It's snowy winter now."
"Of course I know that it is snowy winter now. But right now, it is already the best opportunity. Changsheng in Kezhou, despite the eyes of many people, finally completed a big plan. If he waits for him to return to Lizhou, he can take charge again , it will be difficult to attack Dayuan Pass again."
Dongfang breathed a sigh of relief, "The intelligence I have collected recently, Chen Zhong, do you know how many troops have been mobilized at Dawan Pass?"
"Military advisor, how many are there?"
"At least fifty thousand people."
Chen Zhong looked shocked, "So many?"
"If Chang Sheng wants to set up a killing situation, then, in addition to the Tibetan army at the beginning, he also needs to constantly mobilize the nearby Lizhou troops to block the snake road and attack Qingfeng. In addition, he also needs a reinforcement force to rush to Chenshui Pass. Reinforcements from the north.”
"Military advisor, wouldn't this move to win the battle be taking a risk?"
"At the beginning, his plan was perfect. After killing Qingfeng and the lord, he led his army and quickly returned from Chenshui Pass. But he did not expect that the lord broke through successfully, and I, Qingfeng of Western Shu... ...A lot of layouts were also made in Chenshui Pass. Now, the lord is defending Chenshui Pass. If Chang Sheng wants to lead the army back to Lizhou, there are only two ways. One is to break through Chenshui Pass and go directly north . The second is to give up attacking Chenshui Pass and brave the snowy winter and long road to bypass Lizhou from the northwest."
"According to his temperament and considering his morale, he will definitely choose to attack Chenshui Pass. But I understand that my lord is not just holding on, but is probably preparing to mobilize troops in the direction of Jiangnan. "
Dongfang breathed a sigh of respect.
"That's why I said there was a chance to seize Lizhou. But what I meant was not to knock down the gate directly, but to induce people to leave the city."
"Will Shentu Guan leave Dayuan Pass?"
"If it were anyone else, maybe not, not even his clan brother Shentu. But if Chang Sheng is trapped in Jiangnan, he will rescue him. But before that, I still need to do a scene, Force Dayuan Pass and then divide the army. Don't forget that Beiyu has a strong military force. I guess that the King of Beiyu, after learning that Chang Sheng was trapped in Kezhouhou, was already starting to send troops to Lizhou. Still. In that case, what I have to do is grab some time."
Chen Zhong finally understood, his face full of determination.
"If there is any military affairs, please give orders from the military advisor! A certain Chen Zhong is willing to accompany the military advisor to conquer Lizhou and live up to Mr. Qingfeng's wishes!"
"Don't worry, I still need some preparations."
Dongfang Jing's face finally showed a hint of murderous aura.
…
For more than ten days, Beiyu's army did not get any advantage in front of Chenshui Pass. In other words, he suffered a lot.
"Military advisor, I can't figure out why there are so many defensive supplies in Chenshui Pass!" Yan Pi walked back angrily.
"Qingfeng's layout. But I can't figure out the provisions and baggage." Chang Sheng frowned, "Until now, I think he is a strange person. Maybe he had considered Chen Shui earlier. It's garrisoned."
Only for this reason can Chang Sheng convince himself. Otherwise, King Xu Shu's tens of thousands of people would not be able to hold on without food, grass and baggage.
"It's been more than ten days." Chang Sheng's voice became hoarse in the face of the howling wind and snow. He is not worried about the issue of food and grass. Earlier, because they had to block the snake road and garrison them, a lot of them were mobilized before winter came. But being trapped in Jiangnan, there are many long-term solutions after all.
"Military advisor, if we don't give up attacking Chenshui Pass and return to Lizhou from the northwest..."
"Yan Pi, do you know why I insist on tackling this problem?"
"Why the military advisor?"
Chang Sheng's tone was bitter, "Because I know that it will definitely be too late to go back from there. Only by capturing Chenshui Pass can we return to Lizhou as quickly as possible."
"What's too late..."
"The lame man." Chang Sheng closed his eyes, "The lame man is good at assessing the situation. After he sees the situation in Kezhou clearly, he will judge how many troops are still stationed in Dayuan Pass in Lizhou, and then make a plan to knock the pass."
"Military advisor, this is not right. My lord will send people to Dawan Pass."
"This is natural. But lame people always have to compete for time. And I am always victorious now, so I am competing for time."
Chang Sheng raised his head again and looked at Chen Shuiguan in front of him. Killed two snakes with one rod, only one was killed. But the other one turned into a giant python and blocked in front of him.
…
After Chen Shui closed the door, Xu Mu, who was wearing thick armor, had a cold expression on his face. If possible, he would only wish to be here to trap and kill Chang Sheng.
But no matter what, Chen Shuiguan's side is still at a disadvantage. But Chang Sheng still wanted to take a shortcut back to Lizhou, which was basically impossible.
Unless, in this snowy winter, we can pass through the garrison of more than 10,000 people with abundant supplies of food, grass and baggage. What's more, Fan Lu is also gathering troops in the south of the Yangtze River to prepare for reinforcements.
It is true that he is not a murder weapon.
But the real killer weapon is in the direction of Dingzhou. Dongfang Jing, who is good at sizing up the situation, might take advantage of his constant victory to make a big fuss and then surprise Lizhou Dayuan Pass.
A large part of the credit for all this layout was left by Lao Huang. Without Lao Huang, the war in Kezhou would have already gone to Beiyu.
Holding the handwritten letter left by his old friend, Xu Mu couldn't help but feel heavy in his heart.
In the handwriting, in addition to some important things explained, there are also various secret places where food is buried, even salt and iron. This former friend bet all his treasures on the Western Shu side.
Even……
Xu Mu lowered his head and closed his eyes, his heart suddenly filled with panic.
After one general's achievements, thousands of bones withered, and in this world, two old friends and old friends left him like withering in the wind.
In the vast 70-mile graveyard outside Chengdu, two additional ancestral temples should be erected to inform heaven, earth and the people.
One is Yuncheng General Ma Yi.
Secondly, before you obtain the country, you cannot sign your name... and call it "Mr. Qingfeng".
