Chapter 1792 Conspiracy against Li Cunxiao (Part 2)
Chapter 1790: Conspiracy against Li Cunxiao (Part 2)
The 70,000 army is not a small number. No matter how much Li Shimin covers it, the army will inevitably leave clues when it passes through the border. It is just that it has not been found so far, or the direction is wrong.
In fact, from the beginning, Yue Fei''s search direction was wrong. He felt that if Li Tang wanted to hide his traces, he would definitely retreat to Hanzhong or Shangyong, so he asked the spies to investigate in the directions of these two places, but in fact, the Tang army retreated to Wuguan.
The Qin army spies searched all the roads in Shangyong and Hanzhong, but still found no traces of the Tang army, leaving only one direction of Wuguan. As a result, they found traces of the large army march on the road leading to Wuguan.
Although the traces discovered by the Qin army spies were not obvious and there were also traces of being covered up, it also just shows that there must be a large army passing by.
Yue Fei was shocked when he learned about it. He never expected that the Tang army would retreat into Wuguan, but then there were more confusion and doubts. That is, what was the purpose of the Tang army retreating to Wuguan?
A strange look flashed in Liu Ye''s eyes, but he said with some uncertainty: "Did the Tang army have given up Nanxiang and are ready to concentrate their efforts to break through Hangu Pass?"
Before Yue Fei could speak, Qin Wu directly rejected: "How is this possible.
Hangu Pass has a much stronger defense than Nanxiangcheng. Not only has 20,000 elite guards, but General Li Cunxiao also takes charge.
Even if the Tang army dispatched 200,000 troops, it would not be possible to capture it within three months, but it only took half a month for the reinforcements from Luoyang to arrive at Hangu Pass.
If the Tang army had this ability, would it still fail in the city of Wuxiang? ”
As soon as this statement was made, all the generals present nodded in agreement.
What Qin Wu said is indeed reasonable. Regardless of Hangu Pass itself and the number of defenders, just talk about Li Cunxiao.
Since Xiang Yu''s death, Li Cunxiao defeated Li Yuanba openly. Now he is recognized as the world''s number one strong general. His name alone will make people feel at ease and uplift, which can discourage most people.
So, how could Hangu Pass, which is the world''s most powerful general, be defeated within half a month?
Any normal person would definitely think so, but in addition to normal people, there were wise men like Fang Xuanling and Liu Ye, who obviously would not think so.
In Fang Xuanling and Liu Ye''s eyes, whether Li Cunxiao''s strength or not has no direct and powerful relationship with whether Hangu Pass will fall, so how can you insist on something wrong?
"No, Hangu Pass is not without flaws."
A trace of solemnity flashed in Fang Xuanling''s eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "General Li Cunxiao is the biggest flaw in Hangu Pass."
As soon as this statement was made, most of the present frowned, including Yue Fei. Qin Wu even said in a cold voice: "Military advisor is careful. General Li Cunxiao has been guarding Hangu Pass for many years. I don''t know how many opportunities to make meritorious contributions, but he never complains. How could he betray his lord?"
Fang Xuanling was stunned and quickly explained: "The general misunderstood. General Li Cunxiao was loyal and naturally could not rebel. What I mean was that Li Tang had a conspiracy to target General Li Cunxiao, which may eventually lead to the fall of Hangu Pass."
"That''s it."
Qin Wu showed a sudden look and said embarrassedly: "Military advisor, you have spoken completely. Who wouldn''t misunderstand that he is so polite to his words?
Hey, this is not right. You should know that since General Li Cunxiao fought with the lord, he will definitely defeat the battle and will definitely win the battle. He has not yet lost a single battle.
What conspiracy can Li Tang make that General Li Cunxiao, who is on the defense, loses Hangu Pass within half a month, and even can''t wait for reinforcements? ”
"I''m going to ask Li Shimin now."
Fang Xuanling really wanted to answer Qin Wu, but unfortunately, he didn''t know what the Tang army''s conspiracy was, but he also had his own judgment.
"Since the traces of the Tang army were found in the direction of Wuguan, it proved that the target of the Tang army must be Hangu Pass. Although I don''t know what Li Tang''s conspiracy was, Li Tang must be sure to break through Hangu Pass, but only in this way can I explain why Li Tang abandoned Nanxiang and retreated to Wuguan."
At this time, Fang Xuanling seemed to remember something and suddenly changed his face. He asked anxiously: "Governor, how many days have passed since the Tang army withdrew?"
Yue Fei answered subconsciously, and then asked in confusion: "What''s wrong? Is there anything wrong with the military advisor?"
“Ten days?”
Fang Xuanling''s voice became louder and he murmured, "I have arrived in Tongguan for ten days after I walked into Wuguan."
Yue Fei suddenly changed his color and hurriedly said, "Hurry, Feige sent a letter to General Li Cunxiao, reminding him that Li Tang''s target might be Hangu Pass."
"this…"
The secret spy showed a hint of embarrassment and said, "Reported to the Grand Governor, the pigeons from Nanxiang can only go to Luoyang, but only Luoyang has pigeons from Hangu Pass."
"Then let''s send a letter to Luoyang."
Ordinary carrier pigeons can fly six or seven hundred kilometers a day, and after training, they can fly thousands of miles a day. Nanxiang is less than a thousand miles away from Luoyang. The Qin army''s military carrier pigeons can reach Luoyang in just one day.
Yue Fei watched the carrier pigeon flying towards Luoyang and murmured to himself, "You must catch up."
It was already late at night when the pigeon flew to Luoyang. Jia Xu didn''t expect Yue Fei to move so quickly. He sent a letter to Fei Ge just sent this morning, and there was a reply at night. This efficiency was too fast, right?
But after watching it, Jia Xu was scared into a cold sweat.
Fang Xuanling and Liu Ye couldn''t see what Li Tang''s conspiracy was. Can Jia Xu, who is good at conspiracy and tricks, still couldn''t see it?
As long as you find Li Cunxiao''s personality weakness, Jia Xu has a hundred ways to deceive Li Cunxiao or stir up Hangu Pass.
Generals without any weakness in character, Jia Xu only knows two of them so far, that is Bai Qi and Li Jing. Can Li Cunxiao compete with these two people? Obviously not.
In Jia Xu''s eyes, the reason why the pass is strong is that 40% lies in the level itself, but 60% lies in the generals guarding the pass.
A mediocre general guards the pass, even if he guards the world''s number one pass, he still cannot stop the enemy.
The good generals can still block the enemy even if there is no level, just a large camp.
Li Cunxiao is naturally a good general, but he has obvious personality weaknesses. Once it is really discovered and targeted, it will undoubtedly be a fatal crisis for the Hangu defenders.
"Hurry, Fei Ge immediately sent a letter to Li Cunxiao, tell him the news that Li Tang''s army was targeting Hangu Pass, and also tell him not to go out of the pass."
Jia Xu said with a serious expression. He had always been the same as Mount Tai collapsed before him, and he felt a sense of urgency and crisis in his heart.
Jia Xu sent out three batches of pigeons in a row, but he was still worried. He recruited all the generals led by Qin Jian overnight and said in a deep voice: "I have to forget the time, it is probably too late for Fei Ge to pass the letter.
If Hangu Pass is really broken and the west gate of Sizhou falls, the consequences will be unimaginable.
So, just in case, I decided to send troops overnight to rescue Hangu Pass. ”
