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

Xiao Huang's complexion changed slightly: "Why did you say that?"

Wei Tao did not answer Xiao Huang's question directly, but asked instead: "Your Highness, if you were Dihu Khan Heliantao, would you like to share the world equally with others, or would you like to monopolize the Central Plains alone."

Xiao Huang's complexion suddenly changed when he heard the words, he seemed to realize something, but he just gritted his teeth and didn't speak.

Wei Tao had a panoramic view of the changes in Xiao Huang's expression, and continued: "If I were He Liantao, I would never go south at this time, but choose to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, regardless of who the imperial court or Liangzhou army will be in the future. Whoever wins, the result will be that one side will be wiped out, and one side will suffer heavy casualties. At that time, the Dihu people will move south and sweep the Central Plains and flatten Daning without any effort."

Xiao Huang didn't speak, just paced back and forth in the room, thinking about Wei Tao's words in his mind, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

He had to admit that this possibility existed, and the probability was not small, because if he were Heliantao, he would be more inclined to make such a decision.

At this moment, he felt that he had really made a mistake. He shouldn't have pinned all his hopes on He Liantao and the Dihu people. After procrastinating for so long, his military morale was now a little unstable.

At this time, he couldn't help but feel powerless again. If he had never made such a mistake before, he didn't know why. Ever since he faced Xiao Jie's repeated setbacks in the past two years, there was always a feeling There is a sense of powerlessness, and from time to time, the key to the problem will be missed.

He couldn't help turning his eyes to Wei Tao, although this person has just come to join him, but he has extraordinary knowledge and has a grudge with Xiao Jie, so he can be of great use.

Thinking of this, he stopped hesitating and asked, "What should I do in your opinion now?"

Wei Tao seemed to have been thinking about it for a long time. He looked at the map and his face was a little dark. "Your Highness, you have also seen the current situation in the city. The hearts of the people are turbulent, and the morale of the army is turbulent. If we continue to delay, there will be chaos."

Xiao Huang didn't speak, but stared at the map, waiting for Wei Tao to continue.

Wei Tao drew an arc between Chang'an and Luoyang with a folding fan, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, for the present plan, we can only send our troops to the east immediately, try every means to break through the blockade of the imperial government and the army, and come to Sizhou. If His Highness can successfully capture Luoyang, great things will come true."

Xiao Huang secretly sighed in his heart, the Dihu people couldn't wait for a long time, he never thought of sending his troops eastward immediately, but the defense line of Pujin Pass-Tongguan-Guangtong warehouse built by Xiao Jie is so tight, and they are horns of each other. They can support each other at any time, but they have no way of saying what to do, and they don't know where to break through. Once the breakthrough fails, the situation will become more passive.

But he thought that since Wei Tao suggested that he send troops eastward as soon as possible, he might have a good plan in his mind, so he lifted his spirits and said immediately: "I don't want to send troops to Luoyang as soon as possible, but it's not easy to say, the enemy's defense is so tight, I don't know how to proceed." Where is the break."

Wei Tao did not refuse, and directly pointed to a certain place on the map with his folding fan, and said lightly: "This is the best breakthrough."

Xiao Huang looked along his folding fan, this place is Pujin Pass, the champion general Wu Ji led [-] soldiers from the Eastern Palace to guard it, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Because among the three important places, although Pujin Pass is the farthest from Chang'an and has the least troops, the attack on Pujin Pass needs to pass through Tongguan and Guangtong Cang, and also needs to pass through a long corridor by the Yellow River. It was Tongguan's defenders who cut off the back and attacked back and forth, and the situation would be even more unfavorable.

What's more, the guard Wu Ji is an extraordinary talent for using soldiers. Although Xiao Huang has never had any dealings with him, he has heard about him to some extent. When confronting him, he dare not say that he is fully confident. Can handle him.

It's just that Xiao Huang didn't say anything, because he knew that since Wei Tao made such a statement, he must have his reasons, and he wanted to hear his opinion.

Seeing that Xiao Huang didn't respond to his words, Wei Tao continued to elaborate one by one: "There are three reasons for attacking Pujin Pass."

"First, Pujin Pass has the weakest troops, and the pass is far less steep than Tongguan. Our army has the best chance of winning Pujin Pass."

"Secondly, it is true that Wu Ji at Pujin Pass is a prodigy in using soldiers, but he is young and energetic after all. Besides, a good attacker may not be good at defending. Your Highness still has a chance of winning against him."

"Thirdly, once you break through Pujin Pass, you can enter the east of the river, and the east of the river is rich, so the Liangzhou army can get a lot of supplies, so as to quickly restore morale and stabilize the morale of the army, and it is bound to go down to Luoyang."

Xiao Huang's face was still solemn. In fact, he had thought about all three points Wei Tao said, but he still had a layer of worries. What he was most worried about was that once he attacked Pujin Pass, Xiao Jie and Zhou Yan would cut off his retreat at any time. If it is not good for him to attack Pujin Pass, it will be difficult for him to withdraw to Chang'an by then.

Wei Tao seemed to see Xiao Huang's doubts at a glance, and he couldn't help but smiled and said, "Is your Highness worried that the defenders of Tongguan and Guangtongcang will cut off your retreat?"

Xiao Huang nodded, he had already talked about this point, and he had nothing to hide.

Wei Tao smiled lightly, then pointed his folding fan at Tongguan, then at Pujinguan, and said: "How difficult is this matter? Your Highness might as well make a move to attack the west, leave 1 people to stick to Chang'an, and then send 3 people from each side to attack Tongguan with great fanfare. And Guangtong Cang, so that the defenders of Tongguan and Guangtong Cang did not dare to act rashly. As long as the two defenders were dragged, His Highness would personally lead the remaining 7 troops to attack Pujin Pass, and [-] against [-] troops. , must pass this level!"

"Ten thousand steps back, even if His Highness can't attack Pujin Pass, as long as there are two armies holding back the defenders of Tongguan and Guangtong Cang, His Highness can still calmly withdraw to Chang'an and make other plans."

"In any case, taking the risk of attacking Pujin Pass is better than staying in the small city of Chang'an and not moving forward. If this continues, the soldiers will be in chaos sooner or later."

Xiao Huang still didn't speak, but his eyes kept wandering between Chang'an, Guangtongcang, Tongguan and Pujinguan, he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

He had thought of Wei Tao's strategy before, but he always felt that it was too risky to divide the army into four groups. If any problem occurred in any of them, it might lead to the final defeat, so he was more inclined to wait for He Liantao. Lead the troops south to break the deadlock.

But now listening to Wei Tao's analysis together, he also felt that there was a high probability that the Dihu people would not come to help him, and he could only think of other ways.

Since even Wei Tao suggested that he divide his troops into four groups and attack the west, he had to carefully consider the feasibility and success rate of this strategy.

While he was still hesitating, a soldier rushed in and told him that soldiers from two different battalions in the south of the city fought violently and even turned swords against each other because they were fighting for property. In the end, both sides suffered casualties.

After hearing this, Xiao Huang felt extremely irritable for a while, he didn't know how many times this was the internal strife in the Liangzhou Army in the past few days, he couldn't control it at all, and he couldn't get over it.

He glanced at Wei Tao, and his words couldn't help echoing in his mind, "Anyway, it's better to take the risk of attacking Pujin Pass than to stay in the small Chang'an City and stop moving forward. Sooner or later we will be in chaos", Xiao Huang finally made up his mind.

"Sir, come with me to Pujin Pass."

Xiao Huang took a deep look at Wei Tao, his gaze was somewhat meaningful.

Wei Tao knew that Xiao Huang still couldn't fully trust him, so he put himself by his side, but he didn't show any abnormality on his face, he just nodded happily and said, "I am willing to serve Your Highness."

But at the same time, he still muttered something silently in his heart.

Tai Shizheng, don't let me down.
