Peerless Pirates

On the first day of August in the eleventh year of the Qi Dynasty, the Qi army at Luoyang Pass divided into four groups and attacked Guanzhong across the Evolution. One hundred thousand troops along the way left from Shaanzhou and traveled along the Yellow River. They crossed the ancient Hangu Pass and took Hucheng, Nuxiang, and

To force Tongguan. Cooperating with it is the second waterway army. Starting from Lingbao, thousands of sails are sailing, and they are approaching the direction of Fenglingdu. Their goal is to go up the Wei River and assist the army to attack Chang'an.

The third army, 30,000 men, left Lu and attacked Luonan. The fourth army, 55,000 men, crossed Wuguan and went up to Luo, approaching Shangzhou. The goal of the two armies was to join forces in Shangzhou and attack south of Lantian.

The Aoguan Pass opens the gateway to the southeast of Changchun.

The march route Da Qi chose was the route that Xiang Yu and Liu Bang marched to Guanzhong. This is also the only route Da Qi can march on a large scale.

The reason why Guanzhong is called the land of four fortresses, easy to defend but difficult to attack, is because it is defended by four major dangerous passes. At the same time, the Qinling Mountains in the south provide natural protection for Guanzhong. When Da Qi attacks from east to west, Tongguan and Aoguan are necessary

The passes to be conquered. Whether these two dangerous passes can be conquered is related to the success or failure of Da Qi's military use this time.

At the same time, Dajin's 130,000-strong army was divided into three groups, crossing the Yellow River from Cizhou, Longmen, and Ronghe, and entering Hexi. At the same time, part of Jiezhou's 80,000-strong army had arrived at Hezhong Prefecture on the east bank of the Yellow River, peeking into Guanzhong

Of course, another role of the sergeants on this route is to prevent the Qi army from crossing the Yellow River north and attacking the territory of Dajin.

In an instant, hundreds of miles of land in the "L" shape of Guanzhong along the Yellow River were filled with flames of war and loud shouts.

Different from the dangerous passes faced by the Qi army, the long Yellow River provided Daijin with multiple attack locations. Daijin could send several or even dozens of thousands-man teams to divide the troops across the river and harass more. Although it is far away from Guanzhong

The center of Chang'an is far away, but the difficulty is much smaller.

Although Daqi and Dajin have agreed on a time to launch an attack, the specific results will depend on their respective abilities. Even the closest allies cannot disclose their battle plans to each other, let alone Daqi and Dajin.

The relationship between the Qi Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty was much stronger than that of the Jin Dynasty, but it could only travel along the fixed route of the Yellow River and the Wei River. According to the agreement, the Qi army could not set foot on the north bank, and the Jin army could not cross the border and enter the water.

On August 6, Pang Hui rushed to Shaanzhou from Luoyang, and gathered at the temporary tent with Gao Dingshan, the governor of Luoyang Pass, Xiao Dingguo, the military envoy of the left Guan Road in Shandong, Guan Piao, the military envoy of the right road in Tokyo Guan, and others.

middle.

In this attack on Guanzhong, Gao Dingshan was the commander-in-chief of the Western Campaign. But everyone knew that it was Pang Hui who was really in charge of all this. After all, the attacking army was not only composed of sergeants from Luoyang Pass. Shandong Pass and Tokyo Pass each sent a group of soldiers.

horse envoy

, to assist in the capture. The Qi army's two routes from the south advancing towards the Yong Pass were composed of sergeants from these two passes. The sergeants from Luoyang Pass focused on attacking Tong Pass. Of course, Shandong Pass and Tokyo Pass also allocated hundreds of warships.

Assist the naval attack.

Pang Hui sat on the handsome chair in the middle. His face was as pale as the white hair on his head, which made his blood-red eyes stand out. His high cheekbones, narrow forehead, and thin chin made this man stand out.

This powerful prince looked like a ghost. Although the weather had just turned cold, he was already wearing a large cloak.

Next to him, a pretty maidservant was playing with a piece of black stuff. She cut off a thumb-sized piece from it and placed it on a small silver plate. Under the charcoal fire under the plate, the piece

Things change quickly

Soft. The maid first used a knife to cut it into several small strips as thick as chopsticks, then picked up one of them with tweezers and carefully stuffed it into the smoking pot. She also placed some dried lotus leaf powder on top and used

Fire ignites.

Pang Hui grabbed the tobacco bag, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes. After a long time, Pang Hui slowly opened his eyes and took a long breath. The blood-red color in his eyes immediately dimmed. a bit.

"How's the situation ahead?" Pang Hui's voice was hoarse and had a horrifying friction sound, which sounded particularly harsh.

"The army from the middle route has arrived in Luxiang, and tomorrow it will reach Tongguan. The latest chapter of the online game's Rampage Shield Battle. The navy has arrived at Fenglingdu and will capture the mouth of the Weihe River tomorrow. The two armies from the south have arrived at the gate of Luonan City, and the other has already Surrounding Shangluo, there are not many defenders, and the city will be captured in a few days. According to the plan, in five days, we can unite under the upper city of Luo City, and join forces to take Aoguan from the west." Gaodingshan sat on a chair and reported to Pang Hui. The people of Gaodingshan are as their name suggests. He is tall and powerful, with long beard and hair. Although he is over sixty years old, his back is straight and his body is like a mountain.

Due to long-term planning, everyone here is very familiar with the terrain. There is no need to look at the map, just name the place, and all aspects of the situation will be clear to you.

"Is there any news from Daijin?" Pang Hui turned his attention to Duan Ren, who had just entered the tent.

"The Jin army has crossed the Yellow River, surrounded Hancheng along the way, and entered Heyang on the other side. There is no news from the direction of Cizhou. It seems that they have crossed the river and are heading for Yichuan."

Pang Hui frowned and said, "Is there no movement from the Jin Army on the South Road of Hezhong Prefecture?"

"The 80,000 Jin army seems to be marching very slowly. Only a small number of them reached Hedong City, but did not cross the river. The large army is still stationed in Jiezhou."

"It seems that the Jin people have kept their promise and have no intention of stealing Chang'an from us." Gao Dingshan patted the armrest of his chair and said with satisfaction.

"These gold thieves are quite interesting." Guan Piao laughed. Only Xiao Dingguo touched his unshaven chin and said nothing.

Pang Hui noticed him, "General Xiao, what do you think?"

"Considering my humble position, there are 80,000 Jin troops on the South Road, which is a lot of people. Besides, there are no dangers except the Yellow River. With Tongguan being restrained by our army, it may be easier for them to cross the river. Why are they not making any movement? ?Are you really afraid of causing us to misunderstand? I don’t think so.”

"Oh? Tell me what you think."

Xiao Dingguo stood up, walked to the map hanging next to him, pointed to the terrain on the west bank of the Yellow River, and said, "The Jin army's attack direction is Tongzhou and Danzhou in the north. Tongzhou and Danzhou are separated by Liangshan, and the farther south you go, , the flatter the terrain is, the more conducive it is for the Jin Army's cavalry to deploy. The most advantageous attack direction for the Jin Army should be to cross the river from Hedong City and march towards Chaoyi and Feng Yi. The second is the Heyang and Chengcheng lines in the north. In comparison, Downstairs, the direction of Cizhou is the most unfavorable for marching. However, the two armies of the Jin Army from the north have attacked, and the southern arm has not moved yet. Isn't it puzzling?"

"What's so difficult to understand?" Guan Piao said with a smile, "The goal of the Jin army is to occupy all the Guanzhong areas north of the Wei River, unlike us, which is to take Chang'an directly. Although the Jin army on the south road has a large number of people, it is still inferior. In addition to not wanting to cause us to misunderstand, they also wanted to reap the benefits. Watching us fight to the death with the Xixia people, they wanted to laugh. Don't you know that as long as Tongguan and Aoguan are conquered, Chang'an will be It’s in the palm of my hand, Da Qi.”

"Yes, even if they successfully cross the river to attack, there is still a Luoshui River to the west (check the map, Shaanxi and Henan each have a Luoshui River, I don't know why this name is so popular). The Jin people's naval forces are not good, and I don't know how much it will cost to cross the Luoshui River. Kung Fu, and there will be our large Qi naval force on the Wei River, and they will never even think of crossing the river." Gaodingshan said proudly.

Xiao Dingguo did not speak, but drew a circle on the upper half of the map and clicked twice in the direction of Fangzhou and Ningzhou in the north.

Pang Hui squinted his eyes, thought for a moment, and sat upright from the chair.

Since the assassination incident, Song Zheng has been staying in the hotel. In addition to reading, he also talked about some poems and songs with Su Chan and listened to her playing newly composed music. With the beauty accompanying him, Song Zheng was not depressed.

Zu Jie mobilized five to six hundred people to search for the assassin's whereabouts, but found nothing in the end. Although the assassin's archery skills were good, he was not a superb archer like Zu Jie who could shoot two or even three arrows with one bow. Otherwise, Song Zheng is very likely to be injured.

Even so, Song Zheng was still a little scared. The archer was aiming at himself. If he was targeting a woman like Su Chan who didn't know kung fu, he would definitely succeed.

In the past few days, as the news of Song Zheng's assassination in Quzi Temple spread, Zigui City was abuzz with opinions. Even Dong Qianjun, the governor of Shuguan, was alarmed and sent people to express condolences. Dong Qianjun is not usually in Zigui City, but in Yi. Ling. When Song Zheng passed through Yiling, he did not visit him. Although sending an envoy to Shu was a major event, it only needed Fan Zhitong to guide him. As the governor, Dong Qianjun did not need to handle such a matter personally.

On August 6, Guanyi received an unexpected guest. Song Zheng immediately summoned him after receiving the invitation.

The visitor's name is Wang Ruoxiong, the commander of Guizhou Yousi. He is also one of Yuan Rong's confidantes left behind when he served as the commander-in-chief of Jinghu Road Dark Eagle. Before Song Zheng left Jiangning, Yuan Rong specifically mentioned this person. Yuan Rong was responsible for spying on Shu. Wang Ruoxiong was an important assistant to Yuan Rong in terms of national intelligence. He once followed Yuan Rong to Kuizhou, Yun'an, and even Nanpu and Fuling.

Although Yuan Rong is no longer in charge of Shu's intelligence, she has transformed and improved Shu's intelligence points. Now, these forces are in the hands of Wang Ruoxiong. As far as Yuan Rong knows, although some intelligence points have been transferred to Zuo Si, there are still some Some are under the control of Wang Ruoxiong.

Although Zuo Si and You Si have divided their work, it is impossible to transfer them all to Lisuo in just a few months. Just like Zuo Si, in addition to controlling military intelligence, it also secretly retains some local power. After all, in various places, , military and political affairs are sometimes not so clear-cut. Corruption by local officials may have something to do with the military. Similarly, unruly generals in the military may also collude with local forces.

"I pay my respects to you, sir!" Wang Ruoxiong knelt down as soon as he saw him.

"I have left Yousi now. Commander Wang, there is no need to be formal. We can just treat each other as equals."

"I dare not take this humble position, thank you sir!" Wang Ruoxiong did not show any politeness and stood up immediately. Song Zheng looked up and down and couldn't help but nodded secretly. Wang Ruoxiong had an ordinary appearance, a medium build, and a slightly chubby face. He has a simple and honest look. Such a person is indeed the most suitable for intelligence work. No one would have thought that he would be the person in charge of Guizhou Yousi.

"Commander Wang came from Badong, it's been a hard journey." Song Zheng nodded in greeting. Badong is a county, and Wang Ruoxiong's official position is Badong County Lieutenant. However, in a place like Badong where a large army is stationed, Wang Ruoxiong, a county lieutenant, is not very eye-catching.

"I just received a letter from Mr. Yuan the day before yesterday, and I came to Mr. Song to take orders from you. In the meantime, I heard the news about your assassination, and I came to see you immediately. As long as you have a destiny, you must not dare to resign from your humble position!"
