Datang: Get Xiang Yu's divine power at the beginning

Chapter 52 The Rebel

"Hangu Pass." Li Chengdao muttered silently, because this pass really had a big impression on him.

As the place where Lao Tzu's Hua Hu passed, this Hangu Pass became a scenic spot in later generations.

And the current Hangu Pass is not the kind that can only be admired and commemorated by later generations, but a place that must be contested by military strategists.

It is the only way from Guanzhong to the Central Plains.From the Guanzhong Basin, follow the Weihe River into the Yellow River Valley, then follow the Hangu Pass to enter the Sanmenxia area, and finally leave the bank of the Yellow River, break through the Xiaoqinling Mountains and Xiaoshan Mountains to the south, and you can enter the road to Luoyang.

If such a Guanzhong portal is captured by himself, then it can be blocked from the east to support Li Shimin's reinforcements, and the entire Guanzhong will lose its connection with the Central Plains.

It's a good idea, but I'm afraid that my own troops are far from enough now, guarding such a pass, there will definitely not be a small number of soldiers.

"Your Highness, I have already inquired in detail. The guard of Hangu Pass was promoted by His Majesty the Emperor. He is not someone from Tiance Mansion or Li Shimin. There are 7000 people, but our strength is far from enough if we want to attack head-on, so if you can persuade this general, or let this general be used by us, then taking Hangu Pass will be a big deal. It's not impossible."

"In addition to Hangu Pass, the other three major gates in Guanzhong, Dashan Pass, has a passage from Sanguan to the south to Hanzhong area. This road is the famous Sanguan Road.

"Xiaoguan, located in the northwest of Guanzhong, is mainly used to deal with nomads from Longxi, Hexi and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Wuguan is built on a relatively flat highland among the canyons, with the steep Shaoxi Mountain in the north and dangerous points in the south.The circumference of Guancheng is 1.5 kilometers, and the city wall is built with earth, which is slightly square.One door is opened in the east and the west, and the volume hole is covered with bricks and stones.The terrain of Kansai is relatively flat, and only going out of the Kansai, it winds along the mountainside, with high cliffs and deep valleys, narrow and difficult to walk, so Wuguan was a battleground for ancient military strategists.

There is also Tongguan, which is also an extremely important pass. If we can win one of them, it will inevitably cause shocks in the pass. "

Feng Li's words were faintly excited.

"In my opinion, if we really want to make a move, the best choice is Hangu Pass." Huo Qubing said.

"If Guanzhong is shaken, then the best way is to cut off the connection between Guanzhong and the Central Plains, so that we can achieve our goal."

"I think the most unselectable target is Xiaoguan. Although he is also one of the gates in Guanzhong, it is aimed at the nomads in the west of Guanzhong. If we break through this gate, then we will surely score some troops to go Keep watch, and don't let those nomads come to my land to run wild."

"Dashan Pass leads to Hanzhong. The road to and from Hanzhong is inconvenient, and it has no strategic value for it. Although the land of Wuguan is connecting Guanzhong and Jiangnan, the distance is too far, so it is not too far away. Desirable.

Tongguan is a good target, but if you want to capture Tongguan, you must first attack Hangu Pass, so.I think that if we want to do something, Hangu Pass is the best choice. "

"Hearing everyone's discussion, it is true that Hangu Pass is more important to us, but if we only capture this city, even the people in the pass will not be able to understand the power of our Prince Anlu."

"General Feng's situation is very good, but you overlooked one place."

"Oh, His Highness said so, do you have a better goal?" Ma Chao asked curiously.

"I can't talk about a better goal. We just want to accomplish our established goal. We don't need to waste too much troops in this place, and if we can take him down, it will definitely cause a shock to the entire royal family surnamed Li."

"Where is your Highness pointing to?" Feng Li hesitated for a while, but he spoke directly.

"Longxi." Li Chengdao spit out these two words from his mouth.

"Longxi." Everyone repeated.

"Longxi, Longxi is the place where the ancestral hall of the Li Tang royal family is located. It is a place that all royal families with the surname Li can't forget, because it symbolizes the origin of the surname Li." Li Chengdao talked eloquently.

"However, compared to capturing a pass, if we can capture the land of Longxi, then we will have the directory of the Li ancestral hall at hand."

Li Chengdao smiled lightly.

"Didn't Li Shimin drive my father and my third uncle out of the Li family, so if I occupy Longxi, Li Shimin will naturally be erased from the catalog by me."

"At the same time, the land of Longxi is usually not important to the emperor, but if you suddenly lose it, then you will understand its importance, because the orthodox Li ancestral hall is in Longxi."

"Also, how many soldiers can guard Longxi? Even if Longxi is important, how many troops can a small city support? It just so happens that the number of soldiers under our command is not many. If the soldiers do such a big thing, the whole Guanzhong will definitely be shaken, because the ancestral hall of the royal family surnamed Li has been captured by someone."

"Your Highness, it is indeed a good idea to capture Longxi, but the problem is the consequences. Even if everything goes well and we can take Longxi safely, but for the legitimacy of the royal family, Your Highness, in everyone's mouth, has become a target." Those who are disrespectful to the law and who despise their elders."

"As a result, His Highness will become an out-and-out rebel in everyone's reputation. After all, only a rebellious person will capture his own ancestral hall."

"General Feng, I have thought about what you said. This is the pros and cons of one thing. If I do this, I will naturally get more infamy, but if I don't do this, although I don't have infamy, or Said, in the eyes of everyone, I am simply an unknown person, how can I attract their attention and discussion."

"Infamy is also a name. As long as I can be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, this infamy in me will sooner or later prove that I am different from others, because capable people are always different from others. Or , Successful people are different from ordinary people.”

"Your Highness is wise and ruined his reputation, but for us, it is indeed an extremely good thing."

"It's just that, Your Highness, you should think about it more, because etiquette, this matter is everything in the eyes of some people. If you really do such a thing now, they will really spare no effort to oppose it." you."

"I don't care, as long as I am strong enough, their opposition is actually not worth mentioning the harm to me, because powerful people don't care about the opposition of the ants under their feet."

"Your Highness, since we have a goal, the first problem we have to face is the lack of troops."

Although Li Chengdao had no doubts about what His Royal Highness said, if the soldiers His Highness spoke of did not appear, then all these plans were castles in the air.
