Chapter 2707: The inside story of the Qin-Sui-Sui Luoyang Treaty, Zhang Liang’s layout two years in advance


    Chapter 2704: The inside story of the Qin-Sui-Sui Treaty, Zhang Liang''s layout two years in advance


    Yuzhong and Heguan are the two gates in the southeast of Jincheng County. Among them, Heguan was captured by Gongsun Xuanyuan when the Qin Dynasty captured the three counties in Longxi.


    The reason why it fell into the hands of the Sui Kingdom later was naturally impossible to conquer the Sui army, but the Qin Dynasty took the initiative to give it to the Sui Kingdom.


    At that time, the Qin army destroyed Li Tang and attacked Liangzhou with the momentum of victory. After the Sui Kingdom suffered some losses, it chose to cede the land and seek peace in fear.


    Seeing that Sui State had admitted its conscience, the Qin Dynasty naturally spoke out loudly and directly asked that the Sui State ced half of the two counties.


    Although Yang Guang was cowardly, he was not stupid. Except for the two and a half counties that the Qin Dynasty wanted, the rest were mostly the essence of the Sui Kingdom. If it was ceased, wouldn’t it be equivalent to cutting off one’s own arms?


    Although the Sui State agreed to cede land, it was impossible to cede so much land. So the two countries fell into a long negotiation for three days and finally ceded the two and half counties, talking about the ten counties in the eastern part of Wuwei County.


    The ten counties in the eastern part of Wuwei County are flat and there is almost no danger to defend. If the Qin army really fights, the Sui State will not be able to defend it, so the ceasing of these ten counties is still within the scope of the Sui State.


    But after all, there were ten counties with a population of hundreds of thousands. If they were ceased directly, the Sui State would still be a little unacceptable, so they put forward a condition: the Sui State agreed to cede the ten counties in the eastern part of Wuwei County, but the Qin Dynasty had to be exchanged with Heguan.


    Heguan is a county name, not a checkpoint. Although it is just a small town with a population of over 10,000, its geographical location is extremely important.


    Heguan is located at the junction of Longxi and Jincheng. It is both the western gate of Longxi and the southern gate of Jincheng County.


    If Heguan is in the hands of the Sui Kingdom, the defense line in the southern part of Jincheng will be perfected, so that the Sui Kingdom will feel safe when facing the Qin Dynasty.


    The ten counties in eastern Wuwei who may lose their spare ribs at any time in exchange for the Nandamenhe Pass of Jincheng to improve the national defense line of the Sui State?


    The Sui country felt that although this transaction was lost, it was only a small loss and was still within the scope of tolerance.


    And if you cede ten counties, you will get one county, and you will go and go back, then it will not be cede land, but changing land. It will be nice to say it out, and you can get over the top and bottom.


    But after all, Heguan is still in the hands of Daqin, and Daqin has always only entered and not exited.


    If you want to make land cede compensation to exchange land with Daqin, the nature is completely different, and the difficulty of the negotiation can be imagined.


    At that time, most people within the Qin Dynasty had objections. It was not that the ten counties in the eastern part of Wuwei County with a population of hundreds of thousands, which were not as valuable as Heguan, which had a population of more than ten thousand, but that they could not easily start this.


    And your Sui Kingdom is a defeated country, and it is the right to cede land and pay compensation. What qualifications do you have to exchange land with my Daqin?


    Seeing that the Qin Dynasty was so arrogant and completely regarded the Sui Kingdom as a defeated country, the Sui Kingdom ambassador Cheng Gongying had no hope of changing the land, and even made plans to break the negotiations, but unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed without any signs.


    Qin Emperor Ying Hao wanted to end the war as soon as possible, so Qiangang made arbitrary decision and agreed to the conditions of the Sui Kingdom, but also put forward a condition, that is, the matter of changing land cannot be directly written into the treaty, and the Heguan Pass was not given by the Qin Dynasty, but the Qin general neglected and accidentally allowed the Sui army to take away the Heguan.


    In Cheng Gongying''s view, Ying Hao would propose this condition because he did not want to change the nature of the negotiation. After all, if it was not a change of land, the Sui Kingdom would be cede the land, and naturally it would be a defeated country.


    But Cheng Gongying did not hesitate much about this and agreed very decisively. After all, although Sui State lost face, the benefits were indeed taken.


    But Cheng Gongying didn''t know that the king and minister of the Qin Dynasty were already trapping the Sui Kingdom.


    The proposal to cede Heguan was proposed by Zhang Liang to Ying Hao. He felt that Heguan was not very useful in the hands of the Qin Dynasty. After all, the Sui Kingdom did not dare to take the initiative to attack Qin, but it was crucial in the hands of the Sui Kingdom and was related to the lifeline of Jincheng.


    It can be imagined that if the Sui Kingdom cannot get Heguan, it will definitely not feel safe at all. In panic, it will definitely devote all its energy to guard against the Great Qin, which will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of the Great Qin''s expedition to the West.


    Therefore, only when Heguan is in the hands of the Sui Kingdom, can the Sui Kingdom feel safe, and only in this way can the Sui Kingdom reduce its vigilance against the Qin Dynasty through other means, so as to seek opportunities in the future to catch Sui Kingdom off guard.


    As for whether Heguan is in the hands of the Sui Kingdom, will it become an obstacle to the Qin Dynasty''s destruction of the Sui Kingdom?


    Zhang Liang doesn’t think so.


    Heguan is just a small city. Although it occupies a good geographical location, no matter how Yang Guang strengthens it, his defense cannot reach the defense of the world''s heroic pass.


    Li Tang was in danger of Tongguan, but he was destroyed by the Qin Dynasty.


    Shu Han had the danger of Yangping Pass, but Hanzhong was taken away by the Qin Dynasty.


    Even these worldly heroic passes cannot stop the Qin army. How can a mere Heguan stop the pace of unification of the Qin Dynasty?


    I have to say that Zhang Liang, who has intelligence 103, has a very accurate and long-term vision. He has already planned to destroy the Sui Dynasty two years ago. All Li Jing''s plan for this Western Expedition is based on the extension of Zhang Liang''s cede to He Pass.


    As Zhang Liang expected, after Heguan fell into the hands of the Sui Kingdom, it only brought a little sense of security, which did not play much role in national defense. Under Li Mu''s design, it was broken with only a thousand cavalry, and instead became a poison to confuse and paralyze the Sui Kingdom.


    However, at that time, Zhang Liang''s remarks were still very bold and controversial, but Ying Hao still chose to believe Zhang Liang.


    In this way, the Qin and Sui countries successfully signed the "Treaty of Luoyang". Although the Sui countries lost the ten counties in the eastern part of Wuwei, they were exchanged for Heguan and improved the southern defense line of Jincheng, which was considered a loss and gain.


    The day before the official signing of the Treaty of Luoyang, due to the "negligence" of the Heguan Guard of the Qin Dynasty, Heguan City was seized by the Sui State, but this incident did not affect the signing of the contract.


    After Yang Guang returned to Heguan, he immediately sent heavy troops to Heguan and renovated Heguan without stopping.


    In the Heguan period, the number of defenders alone reached 20,000, nearly twice the total population.


    After two years of expansion and reinforcement, the defense of Heguan has been greatly improved. Even if it faces a strong attack of ten times the enemy, it can last for ten days and half a month. This is why Yang Guang later reduced the number of defenders in Heguan. If there was this reaction time, Daxing would send reinforcements to support him.


    But Yang Guang did not expect Li Jing to use Li Mu, the surrendered general, as the chief general of the army.


    Li Mu was so familiar with the terrain of Heguan. Not only did he perfectly avoid the Sui army''s post, but he also sent the Black Ice Platform masters to cross the mountains and bypass the Heguan, setting up an ambush on the road that he must pass to ask for help to prevent the information from Heguan from being transmitted back to Daxing.


    As for why Sima Xin didn’t use Fei Ge to pass on letters and letters, but instead used the more troublesome and time-consuming Fei Qi to deliver letters? Of course, this is not that there are no carrier pigeons in Heguan City, but that Daqin has special means to intercept carrier pigeons.


    There is a department specializing in raising birds in Daqin Hei Bing Taichung. In addition to raising pigeons to transmit messages, this department also specializes in raising falcons that intercept pigeons, and the number is no less.


    On the day when the Heguan attacked, Sima Xin saw more than a dozen falcons hovering in the sky. She knew that even if the carrier pigeon was released, she could not escape the hunt of the Qin falcons, so she sent a flying cavalry to report the news. .


    But what Sima Xin could never imagine was that Li Mu even thought of this and set up an ambush in advance to intercept the flying cavalry, so there was no news of the fall of Heguan in Daxing City.


    Of course, whether it is collected or not, it has nothing to do with Sima Xin. He has surrendered to the Qin army, and not receiving it will be more beneficial to him. After all, his family is still in Daxing City.


    The fact that he was able to hand over such an important place in Heguan to guard Sima Xin shows Yang Guang''s trust and importance to Sima Xin.


    If he knew that Sima Xin was so greedy and afraid of death, even ignored the life and death of his parents, wife and children, and surrendered to the Qin army easily, Yang Guang would definitely kill all his family to sacrifice to the flag.


    So, Sima Xin wants Li Mu to quickly attack Daxing, so that his parents, wife and children can be rescued.


    Sima Xin surrendered and helped Li Mu say that he surrendered Cao Ju. With the help of these two people, most of the defenders in Heguan surrendered directly, and a small number of those who escaped died from the ambush of Qin Shuang and Nie Feng.


    Li Mu easily occupied Heguan with thousands of cavalry, and the news has not been revealed yet, so he was ready to use this to plan his next march route.


    Although Heguan is broken, it is not unobstructed to enter Daxing. There are three mountains and five villages. If you fight one by one, it will take a month to go no matter how smooth it is.


    Li Mu issued a military order to Li Jing. He only had ten days, and now there were only nine days left, so naturally it was impossible to be so tedious.


    Li Mu naturally had plans for this, but now he can''t use it. Because of Sima Xin and Cao Ju, he already had a better new plan.


    The main army in the rear arrived at Heguan in just one day, and at the same time, nearly a hundred Sui army sentries were drawn out.


    Just as Li Mu was about to continue his march towards Daxing, news came that Huluguang had captured Yuzhong City, which shocked Li Mu and others.


    Although Huluguang used longer than Li Mu, Huyuzhong could be a big city in Liangzhou, and its defense was stronger than Heguan. The defenders reached 5,000, and the difficulty of capturing was obviously much greater than that of Heguan.


    But even so, Yuzhong City only lasted for two days, and under Huluguang''s plan, it was easily captured by the Qin army.


    After a brief shock, Li Mu felt that this was justified. After all, the army had more troops than him, and the generals had stronger plastic surgery than him. It would be strange if he could not defeat Yuzhong.


    Although Li Mu and Huluguang were able to break through whether it was Heguan or Yuzhong, and Li Jing''s strategy of letting the Sui army relax its vigilance against the Qin Dynasty was the key, their own strategies were also extremely critical.


    Now Huluguang has broken through Yuzhong, but the confidentiality measures are not as good as Li Mu. However, there is no need to continue to keep it confidential once Yuzhong is broken.


    Yang Guang will soon learn that the Qin army was invading and that he had broken Yuzhong, but he still didn''t know that Heguan was also lost. This gave Li Mu a lot of room for operation. If it was well operated, it would not take ten days, and he might even arrive in Daxing City in front of Li Jing.


    This is also the main reason why Li Jing sent a letter to tell Li Mu that he did not want Li Mu to die under his military order because of the timeout.


    "Governor, thank you."


    After Li Mu thanked him in his heart, he decisively ordered the army to set out, while Sima Xin and Cao Ju had already led their troops to the camp.


    As long as there are three mountains and five villages, Li Mujun will no longer have any obstacles to Daxing City.


    At the same time, in Daxing City, the Sui Palace.


    King Yang Guang of Sui also received the news that the Qin army suddenly sent troops to attack Yuzhong. After half a day of fierce battle, the defending general Dong Yi was killed by Yuwen Chengdu, and Yuzhong City was subsequently captured by the Qin army.


    The Sui court was completely in anger and could not believe that the Qin Dynasty had not yet taken over the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming, and had dared to fight on both sides to send troops to Sui. .


    Is this because the Qin Dynasty is too arrogant and does not take the Sui Kingdom seriously at all?


    Or is the Qin Dynasty still hiding its power, and even if it fights against the four countries one by one, is it still confident that it can win?


    Or do you want to take advantage of the Sui army’s expedition to the west?


    Most people in the Sui Kingdom think it is the latter, but in fact the first two are the first two.


    The two portals of Heguan and Yuzhong, which Yang Guang has been working hard and vigorously building, have not even been able to stop the Qin army from three days. What qualifications are there to be taken seriously by the Qin army?


    Yang Guang didn''t know that Heguan had fallen, so he was just a little panicked at this time. If he knew, he would probably have a burst of mentality.


    "The Qin Dynasty fought undeclaredly and invaded our Great Sui Kingdom for no reason. It was like a bandit. The Prime Minister immediately issued a document to denounce the inhumane behavior of the Qin Dynasty." Yang Guang said angrily.


    Gao Yang thought in his heart that the day had finally come, but on the surface he took the order with a calm face and said, "No."
