Unparalleled Concubine

Li Yan hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "The general will obey!"

Li Shen sat in the study, lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally said: "A few days ago, Ye Ming was divided into two parts, and this part of the march was very hidden. The scout's behavior is quite suspicious."

"I need to know where this army has gone. You tell Chen Ping, no matter what the cost, help me find this small army that was sent out."

Li Yan was a little puzzled.

"Brother, no matter how they divide their troops, they will always have to go through Jianmen. What are they doing with all this energy to find them? Brother, do you think there are other intentions in this division of the Zhengxi Army?"

"I don't know what their intentions are."

General Zhu Guo closed his eyes again, and said slowly, "But Li Xin is gone."

"Li Xin who was supposed to be by Ye Ming's side is gone, so this small force is likely to be led by Li Xin."

"Li Xin is a man with too many variables. I have to know where he has gone and what he is going to do..."

Li Yan took a deep breath and lowered his head slowly.

"The end general will do it."

Chapter 502

Just when the two top generals in the world met, Li Xin had already headed north, along the control area of ​​the Jin Dynasty, bypassed Hanzhong, and was about to advance towards the ridge road.

Along the way, he walked very carefully.

In fact, it is impossible for an army of more than [-] people to completely hide their whereabouts. When tens of thousands of people march in a mighty manner, it is impossible to completely hide their whereabouts.

Even if Li Xin was careful to clean up the scouts along the way, the limit he could do was to blur his whereabouts as much as possible, so as not to let the enemy know exactly where he went.

But the general scope of activities, the Southwest more or less have some ideas.

Therefore, while Li Xin pays attention to cleaning the tail behind him, he sometimes deliberately makes some detours to interfere with the enemy's judgment.

Originally, when they cleaned up the scouts, their marching speed would have been much slower, and if they deliberately made some detours, the speed would have been even slower. They left Jingzhou for more than half a month and only traveled four to five hundred miles.

Li Xin was not in a hurry.

However, Ye Mao, the young father-in-law who was following him, was in a hurry. After camping for a day, the young father-in-law walked into Li Xin's tent and saw Li Xin who was looking at the map of southern Xinjiang with Zhao Jia. , the little father-in-law was a little angry, stepped forward two steps, clasped his fists and said: "General Li!"

Li Xin looked up at Ye Mao, then turned his gaze back on the map, finally pointed to a part of the map, and said to Zhao Jia unhurriedly: "Brother You'an, you can go to this place again." Ask someone to collect a more specific topographic map, and try to find out how these mountain roads enter the mountain."

When Deng Ai walked this Yinping ancient road, many of his men were killed and injured. Although his main force basically passed through smoothly, Li Xin's ability to lead troops was still worse than Deng Ai's, so he had to be fully prepared.

Zhao Jia nodded after hearing Li Xin's words, and said in a low voice, "Your subordinate will do it now."

As he said that, he looked up at the young master Ye Mao with an angry face, and then said with a smile: "The young master came a little earlier than Lord Hou expected."

With that said, he walked out of Li Xin's handsome tent.

After Zhao Jia left, there were no outsiders in the tent. Ye Mao was impatient, clasped his fists and said, "Uncle Li, my father is going to fight Hanzhong in two days!"

Li Xin didn't even raise his eyelids, and said calmly: "What you can know, I, the general, will naturally know it a long time ago. The fight against Hanzhong was something that Senior Brother Ye and I made up early in the morning. What's there to panic about?"

"But father is going to fight hard in Hanzhong, we can't do nothing!"

Ye Mao first glanced at Li Xin, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I have paid attention to the direction of our march during this time. We are heading northwest, and we are getting farther and farther away from the southern border!"

Most people in this era can't understand maps, and many people can't even recognize directions, but Ye Mao was born in the general family, so he naturally knows these most basic things.

Li Xin's face remained unchanged, and he said slowly: "With Senior Brother Ye's strength, it is not difficult to take down Hanzhong. What should we do? Why are you in a hurry?"

After getting along for a period of time, Li Xin has gradually figured out Ye Mao's temper. This little father-in-law is impatient, and he will do anything immediately when he thinks of it. He doesn't know how to write the word "thoughtful", but he still has the ability. Yes, he can handle ordinary things beautifully.

In short, there are general talents but no handsome talents.

This is also the reason why the Ye family father and son are very worried about him.

The young man is still a little afraid of Li Xin, not because of how powerful Li Xin is, but also because Li Xin has a very good relationship with his father and grandfather. As long as there is a light report, the young man will go home and be beaten .

After hearing Li Xin's words, he first glanced at Marquis Jing'an, and then smiled wryly, "Master Uncle always wants to tell me, where are we going?"

"Your father told you to listen to me."

Li Xin's face was serious, and he didn't answer the young man's question, but asked, "I asked you to clean up the tail behind you, how did you clean it up?"

The little father-in-law scratched his head, feeling a little helpless.

"Recently, there are not many tails behind. A battalion of cavalry can catch seven or eight people after patrolling behind them for a day. It's not interesting. I'll leave it to my subordinates to do it."

"Then just stay there."

Li Xin slowly closed his eyes.

"As soon as the Battle of Hanzhong starts, we will move faster."

……

The reason is very simple, now the southwest side is watching Li Xin's division. For half a month, Li Xin can cut off a lot of small tails behind him every day, so that he has to deliberately take a detour Interfering with the sight of the Pingnan Army.

However, if the battle of Hanzhong happened together, the Pingnan Army's attention would definitely be on Hanzhong. At that time, Li Xin would start to speed up his movements and enter the vicinity of Yinping as soon as possible.

At this time, the Hanzhong War has already kicked off.

Because Ye Ming's troops have nearly 10 people, and they have already reached the city of Hanzhong.

Hanzhong is the gateway to the southwest, and only by opening this gateway can one truly enter the southwest, so this is a war that has to be fought.

According to the rules, Master Wang has to read out the imperial edict when seeking rebellion. Now Ye Ming is under the command of the Imperial Army near the capital, and the one who is serious is the Master Wang who represents justice. Therefore, Ye Ming had someone read it out before the battle. The imperial edict denounced Hanzhong's treasonous behavior and demanded that Hanzhong General Meng Qi and Hanzhong Prefect Chen Sheng open the city gate and surrender.

Naturally, no one paid attention to him.

So, on the third day after Ye Ming came to Hanzhong, the general who had guarded Jimen Pass for more than ten years finally waved his hand fiercely and announced the siege.

It is naturally impossible to read the edict for two days. In fact, during these two days, Ye Ming's troops have been intensively building siege equipment, engineering vehicles, battering rams, etc. Made it.

Siege, in fact, has no technical content. Generally, there are three situations.

The first is to force it and start attacking the city directly. In this case, it is purely filling with human life, using human life to consume the supplies and equipment of the defending side of the city, and wait until the enemy runs out of ammunition and food, or our own side really has that kind The brave general who ascends first can break through the enemy city.

If you don't want to use this stupid method, it is better to besiege the city. This method is to use up supplies to consume the enemy. Usually, it only takes a year or so for the city to run out of food, and most of them will surrender the city.

The third is to surround the spot to fight for aid.

However, General Ye simply chose the first option. No matter what, the momentum of this first battle must be fought.

The method of siege is very simple. Attack on four walls at the same time, with 2000 people on each side, and then choose one of the walls to break through, and use a catapult to hit the city with a hammer to start a violent siege.
