Chapter 1219: Jia Xu’s response
I have to say that with the blessing of the "Qiaoshu" skill, Wang Mang''s "deception magical skills are like being helped by gods, and they are simply fooling each one into each other.
Yuan Shu was actually afraid of Qin Hao in his heart, and was very afraid, but under Wang Mang''s deception and misleading, he forgot the fear of being dominated by Qin Hao.
Nowadays, Yuan Shu has been immersed in the fantasy that Wang Mang has organized for him, and is only thinking about taking advantage of the absence of the main force of the Qin army to take away the four counties of Sizhou and five counties of Jingbei from Qin Hao, and then replace Qin Hao as the overlord of the Central Plains, but he ignores the difficulty of Wang Mang''s plan.
The premise for Wang Mang''s success in this series of plans is to seize Guangcheng Pass, because only by capturing Guangcheng Pass can the Qin army in Jingbei prevent the entry of Sizhou from entering Sizhou, so that there is hope of completely capturing Sizhou.
Only when the Yuzhou army completely occupied Sizhou and blocked the connection between Jingbei and Bingzhou, can it be possible to occupy the six counties in Jingbei after making Jingbei an enclave.
As a powerful pass in the world, Guangcheng Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. In addition, it is so close to Nanyang. As long as you receive a little disturbance, reinforcements from Nanyang will be able to reach Guangcheng Pass within ten days, so it is definitely not an easy task to forcibly capture Guangcheng Pass.
Wang Mang naturally knew that Guangcheng Pass was not easy to fight, but in order to make Yuan Shu send troops with peace of mind, he deliberately said that it would reduce the difficulty of seizing Guangcheng Pass.
In addition, although Yique Pass has not been rebuilt, most of it has been rebuilt, and it has a certain level of defense. However, Wang Mang demoted Yique Pass, which has not been rebuilt, is worthless.
The reason why Wang Mang said this was that Yuan Shu sent troops to attack Sizhou first. He didn''t care how many people the Yuzhou army would die. As long as Yuan Shu sent troops, he could only grit his teeth and walk to the end.
Yuan Shu lost his wisdom under Wang Mang''s concealment, but there were still many sober people in the Yuzhou army. Yan Xiang and Lian Po both opposed Yuan Shu''s troops to attack.
Yan Xiang knew Yuan Shu''s temperament, so he persuaded him more tactfully, and Lian Po''s soldier naturally became much stronger.
Lian Po said bluntly that if Yuan Shu sent troops to attack the rear of his compatriots when the foreign race went south, he would be despised by the people of the world.
After hearing this, Yuan Shu''s face turned pale. If it weren''t for Lian Po''s expulsion of Li Mi and had just made great contributions, he would have put Lian Po in prison.
Wang Mang had long guessed that such a situation would be, so he took the initiative to stand up and fight against all officials of the Henan army. Several civil officials such as Yan Xiang were speechless and angry that Lian Po drew his sword in the court.
Seeing that the ministers were not opposed, Yuan Shu immediately decided to send troops to Sizhou. He was willing to be prepared to order Lian Po to lead the army, but Lian Po would rather be self-harmed and pretend to be injured than lead the army, so he had to let Zhao Kuangyin lead the army.
Yuan Shu sent Zhao Kuangyin to lead 100,000 troops to be responsible for the surprise attack on Guangcheng Pass. After taking Guangcheng Pass, he would personally lead 150,000 troops, gather 250,000 troops, and capture the four counties of Sizhou in one fell swoop.

Luoyang.
"Report...Yuan Shu''s troops were mobilized abnormally, and a large number of troops were mobilized to Runan..."
After taking the information from the Jinyiwei, Jia Xu frowned and said, "Don''t Yuan Shu want to take advantage of the empty Sizhou troops, right? He dares to do such a big ruthless thing in the world?"
What Yuan Shu didn''t know, and his plan had not been implemented, Jia Xu had already seen through the purpose of his about to march into Sizhou through Yuan''s army''s troops. Jia Xu naturally did not dare to be careless, and immediately summoned Qin Jian, Han Fei, Xun Yu, Tan Daoji and others to discuss ways to deal with Yuan Jun.
Jia Xu and Qin Jian were divided into the right and left positions, and everyone was led by them. After all, their identities were different. As military generals, Qin Jian regarded Jia Xu as the most respected, and all Jia Xu was the real controller of Sizhou.
As the meeting just began, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong and Xiong Kuohai rushed over again. Seeing that all the injuries of the three of them had recovered, Jia Xu nodded and agreed to agree to their participation in the next meeting.
"Everyone, Yuan Shu mobilized the army in Runan and had a bad intention."
After Jia Xu finished speaking, Han Fei said with an unhappy look: "Is Yuan Shu''s head squeezed by the door? His total strength in Yuzhou is only 300,000, and he can take out a maximum of 250,000 yuan to deal with our army. Although our army only has 50,000 troops in Sizhou, Jingbei still has 120,000 troops."
"Yes, our army has a total of 170,000 troops, and not only has a geographical advantage, but also has a strong city to defend. How could it be that Yuan Shu''s 250,000 troops could be defeated?" Xun Yu said.
"No matter whether Yuan Jun wants to start a war or not, we must be fully prepared."
At this point, Jia Xu looked at Tan Daoji and asked, "General Tan, you are responsible for the troops of the four counties of Sizhou. Let''s report on the troops of Sizhou first."
"No."
Tan Daoji stood out and said in a deep voice: "Among the four counties of Sizhou, Luoyang has 20,000 troops, 5,000 Hedong, 5,000 Henoi, 10,000 Hongnong Hangu Pass, 2,000 Hulao Pass, and 10,000 Yique Pass, totaling 52,000."
"Information shows that Yuan Shu mobilized no less than 100,000 troops. With such troops, if Yuan Shu really wants to go to war with our army, he will definitely choose Sizhou with relatively empty troops. If he attacks Sizhou, he must first attack Yique Pass and Guangcheng Pass."
At this time, Jia Xu looked at Xun Yu and asked, "Wenruo, how is Yique Pass rebuilt?"
"The project to rebuild Yique Pass has been completed 80% of the time. Although it has not been completely completed, it does not hinder the defense of the city."
Xun Yu replied in a deep voice, it was precisely because Yique Pass was about to be rebuilt that Xun Yu took down this important task and returned to Luoyang to report his duties at this time.
"There are 10,000 defenders and 40,000 Liang army prisoners of war in Yique Pass. Now the war is about to begin. It is no longer appropriate to continue to place prisoners of war in Yique Pass. Guan Sheng will immediately **** these 40,000 Liang army prisoners of war to Luoyang." Jia Xu said lightly.
After the war against Dong ended, the Qin army captured a total of 60,000 Liang army prisoners of war, and all used as coolies to build Yique Pass. It was not until he fought with Wang Mang for Hanoi that Ding Yanping was ordered to select 20,000 of them to reorganize them into the army, and now there are still 40,000 prisoners of war who are still working as coolies.
"The troops in Hulao Pass, Yique Pass and Guangcheng Pass are only enough, and they cannot be foolproof when facing foreign enemies, so they must increase their troops."
After saying that, Jia Xu discussed with everyone and decided to dispatch 4,000 troops from Hedong County, a total of 8,000 troops to Hulao Pass. In this way, Hulao Pass would have to have 10,000 defenders.
The troops in Hongnong County and Hangu Pass all need to be used to guard against the Liang army in Guanzhong. Although the Liang army is in an internal strife, you should know that the troops on the western front of Sizhou are not many, so the troops here will definitely not be able to be mobilized, and the only ones that continue to mobilize are the garrisons in Luoyang.
