Transmigrated into the book to become the villain prince, the son of the plane to destroy

King Xiao Huang of Qin attacked Chang'an in one fell swoop before the reinforcements arrived, shocking the whole world.

We must know that Chang'an is not only an important town in Guanzhong, but also the western capital of Daning.

Just when the eyes of the whole world were focused on Guanzhong, wanting to see how the prince Xiao Jie led the army to fight back against the rebels and take back Chang'an, Xiao Jie made an unexpected move——

He sent General Zhou Yan of the Right Jinwu Guard to lead [-] Right Jinwu Guards to garrison Guangtongcang, sent champion general Wu Ji to lead [-] troops from the Eastern Palace to garrison Pujin Pass, and he himself commanded [-] troops to guard Tong Pass, and the three armies guarded each other. In one place, there was no intention of continuing to march towards Guanzhong and recapture Chang'an from the rebels.

The news spread to the court in Luoyang, and soon someone saw the subtleties.

You know, Daning has a large population, but the distribution is very uneven, especially a large number of people are concentrated in the Sizhou area where the capital Luoyang is located and the Guanzhong area where the western capital Chang'an is located. However, the grain produced in Sizhou and Guanzhong is limited, which is far from enough The people of Sizhou and Guanzhong.

In order to solve the problem of food shortage in Sizhou and Guanzhong during the Ning Dynasty, Taizu Ning built the Heyang warehouse near Luoyang, the capital city, and the Guangtong warehouse near Chang'an during his reign. Both granaries were built on the banks of the Yellow River. The grain from other prefectures and counties was transported to Heyang warehouse and Guangtong warehouse through the Yellow River water transport, and supplied to the people in Sizhou and Guanzhong respectively.

Therefore, it can be said that the people in Guanzhong, especially in Chang'an, basically have to rely on the grain hoarded in Guangtong warehouse to eat. Now that the rebels have captured Luoyang, there are 10,000+ more mouths out of thin air, even if there is more grain hoarded in Chang'an city , and sooner or later there will be a day of sitting and eating.

And Tongguan and Pujinguan respectively control the two most important crossings on the Yellow River, Fenglingdu and Pujindu. As long as the imperial army can hold Tongguan and Pujinguan, the rebels will not be able to advance eastward at all.

Since ancient times, no matter who rebelled against the imperial court, the most important thing is to make a quick decision, and only by capturing the capital quickly can there be a chance of success.

Because raising troops to rebel against the imperial court is a great injustice in the eyes of the people in the world. In fact, everyone in the rebel army, from the generals to the soldiers, has been under a lot of pressure, because everyone knows that no matter whether they actively participate in the rebellion or are under pressure Coerced by others, once the rebellion fails, not only will they themselves die, but their family members and even their clansmen may not survive.

Because of this, once the rebel army can't attack the capital for a long time, the longer the delay, the more likely the morale of the army will be turbulent. Once the turmoil reaches a certain critical point, the morale will inevitably collapse. At that time, there will be no need for the imperial army to fight over. It's messed up.

Even if there are people of insight in the Luoyang court who can see this clearly, Xiao Huang himself is a player in the situation, how could he not know the intention of Xiao Jie's arrangement?

His original plan was to attack Chang'an with lightning speed, then block the news, and then take advantage of the fact that the reinforcements from Luoyang did not know about it, and crush them in one fell swoop. In this way, no one can stop him from marching into Luoyang.

In order to realize this plan, he even risked the life of his most trusted lieutenant, Wang Sheng.

He didn't expect that Qin Huan would break out of the siege and report to Zhou Yan and Wu Ji. As a result, the reinforcements along the way did not continue to die in Chang'an City, but retreated to Tongguan.

What he didn't even expect was that Xiao Jie, who arrived later, had no intention of retaking Chang'an. He sent Zhou Yan to rush ahead of them and stationed in Guangtong warehouse, cutting off the food supply of Chang'an City.

There are only three choices in front of him now.

One is to send troops to capture Guangtong Cang as soon as possible, because only by capturing Guangtong Cang, his army will have enough food to confront Xiao Jie's army, otherwise the food hoarded in the city alone will not be enough for their 10,000+ army and Chang'an dozens How long does it take for the common people to eat? Once the food and grass are insufficient, the morale of the army will be in chaos. At that time, there is no need for Xiao Jie to take action, and their Liangzhou army will be defeated by themselves.

However, Guangtongcang was an important place to supply food in Guanzhong, and its city defenses were not inferior to Chang'an. It was not easy to capture it. Now that there were [-] Jinwu Guards stationed there, it was even more difficult to capture it.

Moreover, Guangtong Cang was very close to Tongguan. Once he sent troops to attack Guangtong Cang, Xiao Jie would send troops from Tongguan to cut off their retreat at any time. When he and Zhou Yan attacked back and forth, it would be difficult for the Liangzhou Army to resist.

And once they send troops to attack Guangtongcang, Wu Ji of Pujin Pass will attack and retake Chang'an at any time. After all, no one in the world knows how good he is at running.

The second is to stick to Chang'an and confront Xiao Jie, because as long as it takes another month or so, the Yellow River will freeze. At that time, he can bypass Pujin Pass and Tongguan Pass and cross the Yellow River to go straight to Luoyang.

But Xiao Huang knew that this move was absolutely unfeasible, not to mention the lack of food in the Guangtong warehouse, would the food in the city be enough to sustain his 10,000+ army for more than a month, if only the 10,000+ army was huddled in the city of Chang'an for more than a month , The soldiers are under so much pressure every day, sooner or later there will be big troubles.

The third is to evacuate Chang'an City and return to Liangzhou.But Xiao Huang knew that this move was even more unfeasible. It would be a great injustice for him to use his son against his father and the local government against the imperial court. If he faced the encirclement and suppression of the imperial army and retreated to Liangzhou without a fight, the soldiers below would How to look at him, maybe before the army has withdrawn to Liangzhou, the arrogant soldiers below will mutiny, and at any time they will take advantage of their own unpreparedness and use their heads to ask the court for credit in exchange for the court's understanding and forgiveness.

All three options lead to a dead end, and Xiao Huang is also at a loss for a while, there is nothing he can do.

The most helpless thing in the world is that you can see through your opponent's plot at a glance, but you can't think of any countermeasures at all.

But Xiao Huang has never been a person who gives up easily. Since he has chosen to go to this point, he must let his father and the people in the world know that they have misjudged him. .

Now in this head-to-head confrontation and duel with Xiao Jie, he can only win but not lose.

Xiao Huang forced himself to calm down, his eyes fixed on the huge map hanging in front of him, his gaze gradually left Guangtong warehouse, Tongguan, Pujin Pass, crossed the border of Daning, and finally settled in the depths of the desert.

The secret conversation between him and Heliantao by the lake that night appeared in his mind, and a sneer suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Now that there is civil strife in the Central Plains, he believes that it is very difficult for He Liantao not to be moved by it. Although he also knows that the Dihu people are also in civil strife, he knows that He Liantao will never let go of this golden opportunity, and he will definitely think about it. Find a way to end the civil strife in Dihu, and lead troops south as soon as possible to get a share of the pie.

As long as the Dihu people send troops, the time will come for them to break the situation.
