Great Sui God of War, great strength at the beginning!

Chapter 269 Before Arriving in Taiyuan, Cut It in Half

"Let's see, if Liu Heita wants to abandon Wuyang County and go to Taiyuan, where is the best place for them to go?"

Xu Maogong stood up and walked to the center of the big tent, with one hand behind his back and a goose feather fan in the other, quite like Wuhou in the late Han Dynasty.

"If you go from Wuyang County to Taiyuan, in the eyes of the general, you will go to Shangdang County, or Wu'an County, or Xindu County. These three roads are closer."

Yuwen Chengdu looked at the map and said firmly.

"That's right, Liu Heita still has an army of [-], and there are many generals, but we only have an army of [-] and cavalry less than [-]. If the troops are divided into three groups, they may be eaten by them instead!"

Xue Rengui frowned slightly. Now he can be sure that Liu Heita and others must go through these three routes to withdraw their troops, but which route to take is open to discussion.

"That's right, it is impossible for us to divide our troops into three groups. After all, Liu Heita's army is not a defeated army, nor is it a fleeing army. If we divide our troops into three groups, we will also suffer great casualties. This is not appropriate!"

Xu Maogong waved his fan, also agreeing with Xue Rengui's words.

"What do the military advisers think? Which way will they go?"

Pei Yuanqing was impatient, he couldn't understand what these people said, so he just sat aside, anyway, he only knew how to fight, and only knew how to obey the command of the army.

"Hahaha, what does the marshal think?"

Xu Maogong did not continue to speak, but instead looked at Xue Rengui who was coming.

Xue Rengui is only in his early 20s now, and he is the pillar of Dawu, and he is the most powerful general after Wang Chen. In the Dawu army, apart from Wang Chen, Xue Rengui is the most popular when it comes to appeal.

Xu Maogong also wanted Xue Rengui to make more judgments.

"It seems that you are going to test me, military advisor." Xue Rengui naturally knew what Xu Maogong meant, but he was not restrained. Instead, he expressed his gratitude to Xu Maogong.

"From my point of view, we don't want any of these three paths!"

All the generals and counselors in the tent were taken aback, except for Xu Maogong who nodded with a smile, while Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui frowned slightly in thought.

"Let's see, why do we need to guess which of the three roads they are taking? We can directly bypass the three counties of Shangdang, Wu'an, and Xindu, and get here!" Xue Rengui pointed directly at Xiangyang, which is below Taiyuan County. country county.

"Xiangguo County is one of the gates of Taiyuan, and it is the place where Liu Heitai and the others must pass. Moreover, since Liu Heitai and the others are fleeing, and most of them are infantry, they move slowly, and the supplies and food must not be enough. Maybe they brought too much, so they must be here, which is the supply of Xiangguo County!
"So, Xiangguo County is the only way for them to pass. We only need to ambush before Xiangguo County, and we will surely catch them by surprise. Moreover, His Majesty will definitely go to Taiyuan to fight Li Shimin for the last time. We can also fight with Li Shimin." Your Majesty, gather together and encircle Taiyuan City!"

"Clap clap clap!"

"Okay! What a plan to kill two birds with one stone, the general's plan is really powerful!"

Xu Maogong clapped his hands again and again, and couldn't help but nod in applause.

The other generals and counselors also nodded in agreement again and again.

"Hey, I'm afraid the military division has thought of it a long time ago, so don't praise me anymore, I also thought about it for a long time."

Xue Rengui smiled and waved his hands, extremely modest.

Xue Rengui deserved the title of Little Wang Chen in the Wu Dynasty. His martial arts and tactics, and his command of troops have reached a very high level!

Yuwen Chengdu also had to admire Xue Rengui, Xue Rengui's force was comparable to his own, but in this strategizing, his ability to win thousands of miles away made him fly a few Shenwu Streets.

"But there is still a problem. We only have [-] cavalry. How can we bypass these three counties and go to Xiangguo County? Moreover, the defenses in Xiangguo County must be very strong. , where is the best place for us to ambush, and what's more, if Li Shimin sends troops to respond, we will become the turtles in the urn instead!"

Du Ruhui raised the difficulty of this strategy, which also made everyone present fall into deep thought again.

Fang Xuanling immediately stood up and said.

"Actually, it's not difficult. If Liu Heitai wants to withdraw his troops to Bingzhou, he must give Li Shimin a break. Otherwise, they will send messengers to Bingzhou Taiyuan through Xiangguo County, so we can make a fuss about it! "

"Speak in detail!" Xue Rengui was overjoyed. This is the benefit of having many wise men in court. After brainstorming, would you still be afraid that there will be no good strategy?

"Report to the general, Liu Heita will definitely send messengers to Taiyuan City in these two days, then we only need to send a few good men to guard outside Xiangguo County in advance, kill their messengers, make them blind and deaf, and what's more... , I know the news that although Shangdang County is called Li Shimin's territory, in fact, Li Shimin doesn't pay much attention to it. We can go straight in from the side of Shangdang County and go to Xiangguo County, fifty miles outside Xiangguo County. Mountain ambush!"

"Xiangshan Mountain's terrain is not high, but there are many vegetation, suitable for ambushes, and it is far away from Xiangguo County, so it will not attract the attention of Xiangguo County!"

Fang Xuanling also stayed in Taiyuan for a while, so he naturally knew some things about Taiyuan and the cities next to Taiyuan, which happened to come in handy now.

"Good! Very good! So good!"

Xu Mao smiled happily. In this way, the plan has been decided, and half of Liu Heita's army must die before they reach Taiyuan City!
"Then who should be dispatched to destroy their messengers?"

Xue Rengui grasped the point and looked at the generals in the tent.

"Tell the general that the last general Pei Yuanqing is willing to stop Liu Heita's messenger!"

Pei Yuanqing ran out quickly and punched Xue Rengui. This was a good opportunity to fight, and he was determined not to let it go.

Xue Rengui hadn't spoken yet, but Xu Maogong had already started shaking his head.

"Military division, it was indeed Yuan Qing's fault last time. This time, Yuan Qing will never make a mistake again. Military division, just give it a chance!"

Seeing Xu Maogong shaking his head repeatedly, Pei Yuanqing ran to Xu Maogong's side in a hurry, making everyone laugh in a hurry.

Pei Yuanqing didn't care about their ridicule, as long as there was a battle, everything else was just floating clouds.

"Don't shake the old man, this normal body will be shaken apart by you!"

Xu Maogong said helplessly, and then said to Xue Rengui.

"Pei Yuanqing, with high martial arts skills, is indeed a good candidate." Pei Yuanqing was overjoyed and was about to thank him, but Xu Maogong continued:

"But Pei Yuanqing can't go alone. I can't help him with his temper. I have to find someone to go with him!"

Pei Yuanqing curled his lips, but he really had nothing to say. His last impulse not only almost killed himself, but also almost killed the five thousand cavalry in his hand. It doesn't matter if he dies, the five thousand Qingqi who killed him will follow him If you die, that is an unforgivable crime.

"How about this, Fang Xuanling, do you dare to have a run with Pei Yuanqing!"

Don't think that Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are frail scholars, they have learned the six arts of a gentleman, riding and archery are quite good, especially Fang Xuanling, who is still in his prime, still likes riding and archery.

"Why don't you dare? It's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to control Mr. Pei, hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

Everyone laughed, no one in Dawu knew, the third son of the Pei family was a stunned young man, except for Wang Chen and his sister, who could control him?
Pei Yuanqing also touched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Well, Pei Yuanqing, you must listen to Mr. Fang this time. Fang Shilang, this is the gold medal bestowed by His Majesty. Seeing this is like seeing Your Majesty. I guarantee that Pei Yuanqing will be obedient!"

Xu Maogong took out a gold medal and handed it to Fang Xuanling very quickly. Fang Xuanling put away the gold medal without even looking at it.

"Don't worry, military commander. If Pei Yuanqing is disobedient and the gold medal can't control him, then I will go to His Majesty to enroll him! Hahaha!"

Pei Yuanqing curled his lips very depressed, now he really didn't dare to be disobedient, Pei Yuanqing always obeyed Wang Chen's words, who said that Wang Chen had taught Pei Yuanqing three times!

"It's not too late. The two of you bring a few good soldiers in the army, hurry up and go directly to Xiangguo County, and ambush the messenger in Xiangshan. Don't let Liu Heitai and Li Shimin get in touch. Your mission will be completed. This time Afterwards, this general will definitely ask His Majesty for your credit!"

"Thank you, General!"

Both of them clasped their fists together, and then walked out of the tent, took ten days' rations and a few elite soldiers and headed towards Fang Xuanling's route to Xiangguo County.

"Now, it's up to us. If there are nearly [-] cavalry, it's a bit too much. It's not easy to enter Xiangguo County from Shangdang."

After seeing Pei Yuanqing and Pei Yuanqing leave, Xue Rengui continued.

"It's really a problem."

Xu Maogong also nodded slightly.

"I don't think it's difficult. We have 8000 cavalry, but we don't need to dispatch all of them. We only need [-] elite cavalry to go around from the east of Shangdang, but it will take a certain amount of time, and the other [-] cavalry is Buy us time and attention."

Du Ruhui stood up and said.

"Huh?" Xue Rengui and Xu Maogong were both in deep thought.

"feasible!"

Xu Maogong nodded after thinking about it.

"Okay, Yuwen Chengdu!"

"The end is here!"

Yuwen Chengdu looked at him and immediately stood up and responded.

"This time, you can take eight thousand Qingqi and wait for the opportunity in Wuyang County. Wuyang County withdraws, immediately launch a general attack, and harass Liu Heitai's retreat from behind. You don't need to confront them head-on!"

Xue Rengui immediately ordered that Yuwen Chengdu was about to receive the order, but Mr. Xu Maogong said:
"Although it's not a real fight, but, Prince Yuwen, you must act like you will fight to the death with them, so that they will be afraid!"

Yu Wencheng was taken aback for a moment, and after rolling his eyes, he apologized and saluted the two of them again.

"Well, now that it's here, there shouldn't be anything missing."

Xue Rengui and a group of people stood around the map, thinking about what was missing.

"I know where else to add!"

Suddenly, a voice came, and everyone looked over, it was a young general who hadn't spoken much.

"Oh? You seem to be Zhao Ju, the younger brother of Zhao Peng, right?"

Xue Rengui looked at the young general and asked uncertainly.

"Returning to the general, the last general is the one, and the elder brother has no descendants, so my younger brother takes the title of elder brother."

"Well, then tell me, where else can I add something."

Xu Maogong nodded slightly. Although Zhao Peng sacrificed his life for the country and made great contributions, he is a great hero who followed the emperor, but this does not mean that Zhao Peng's younger brother has that ability. just work.

"If you go back to the general, if you go back to the military division, I think we can immediately send a messenger and a fast horse to communicate with His Majesty. Please cooperate with us and move the battlefield to Xiangguo County first, and fight Li Shimin first." A big somersault!"

Zhao Ju's words made everyone nod repeatedly, especially Xue Rengui, who looked at the young general who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and also showed joyful eyes. Zhao Peng and Xue Rengui had a good relationship, and Xue Rengui naturally hoped that Zhao Peng would have someone to succeed him.

"Okay, you deserve credit for offering advice. After this battle, this general will definitely ask for credit from His Majesty for you."

"Thank you, General!"

Zhao Ju immediately knelt down and cupped his fists.

"Eight hundred miles, hurry up, pass this letter to His Majesty, remember, you must hand it to Your Majesty!"

Xue Rengui wrote quickly, and immediately wrote the secret letter, and then handed it to a Jinyi guard who walked into the big tent, and solemnly ordered.

"Don't worry, the general, the letter is there, and the letter will not flow out when the person is gone!"

Jin Yiwei said in a very serious voice.

"Okay, without further ado, let's go!"

"Okay, everything is ready now, it's just a matter of Liu Heita and others retreating, everyone, should we help them?"

"Hahaha!"

"Alright, General, the last general only needs three thousand soldiers!"

"General, the last general requests to fight!"

"Hey!" Xue Rengui stood in the front, raised his right hand, and stopped everyone's pleas.

"This time, this general will personally fight against Liu Heita. This general wants him to know that Liu Heita knows that this time, they have no chance of defeating our Great Wu Dynasty!"

"Follow orders!!!"

Everyone immediately clasped their fists and accepted the order.

...the top of Mount Tai...

Mount Tai, known as the first of the five mountains, is the emperor of the mountains.

At this moment, above Mount Tai, there are two figures at the top of Mount Tai.

"Did you see that, the final battle has already started ahead of schedule, two years earlier than the old man imagined!"

The person who spoke was wearing a purple Taoist robe, with a fairy-like demeanor, he was the real Ziyang.

"Unexpectedly, I once calculated that the last person to contend for world hegemony should not be an outlier like Wang Chen. It should be Li Shimin who ended this troubled world forcefully. Now, it is beyond my expectation!"

The person sitting in front of Master Ziyang was also wearing a purple Taoist robe. If Yu Wencheng was here, he would definitely know this person, his master Master Ziyun.

"It's changed, the sky has changed, have you seen it? Taoism is declining, and Buddhism is booming! Why? Taoism was created by Lao Tzu and the sage, and it is the orthodoxy of Kyushu, but it was handed over to Buddhism by "he". To be honest , The old man refuses to accept it!"

Master Ziyun's temper was obviously not that good, and he directly expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Brother, be careful, he can hear you."

Master Ziyang shook his head slightly, and pointed to the sky.

"Then let him send me to hell and let me not be reincarnated. He can hand over the orthodoxy of Kyushu to others, so he still cares about us?"

Ziyun's beard flew up in anger, and his tone was very dissatisfied.

"Well, maybe this is fate. We are just ants in their eyes. They are not benevolent, and we are just dogs."

Master Ziyang showed a helpless expression for the first time, and spread his hands.

"No, those old guys, wise and wise, colluded with the Buddhist sect, and wanted to get a share of the pie. I disdain to be with them. A group of traitors in Taoist robes. If the Taoist saints know what they are doing, they must be driven out of their wits!"

"That's it, brother, I've done everything I can, now, we can only see what Wang Chen does, he, maybe he can do it!"

Master Ziyang stood up, brought Master Ziyun a cup of tea, and said with a smile.

The two were not talking, the huge Mount Tai was extremely oppressive, and thunder and lightning suddenly appeared in the originally clear sky.
