Chapter 71 - Unbearable Restlessness

"What big brother? Are you going to lead troops on an expedition?"

Zhuge Kan's face froze in shock and his mouth opened wide. Just last night, Xu Zongwen had just ordered Zheng Lue and Shen Yu to lead a vanguard army of 6,000 troops to attack Linqiu City. Now early in the morning, Xu Zongwen sent Zhuge

Kan, Tian Luo and Zhang Gui called over and told them to prepare their troops for battle immediately. This time Xu Zongwen would personally take action!

"Brother, your injury seems to have just healed. The raid on Yanzhou was nearly a thousand miles, and the journey was bumpy. I'm afraid your body won't be able to hold on!" Zhang Gui, the youngest, said worriedly.

Linzi is indeed nearly a thousand miles away from Linqiu, and is separated by three counties. If we encounter the enemy, we will inevitably have to take a long detour in order to avoid being discovered. I am afraid that the actual marching distance will be much longer than a thousand miles.

"Who said we were going to Yanzhou? Who said we were going to attack Linqiu? Didn't Shen Yu and Zheng Lue already attack Linqiu?"

To everyone's surprise, Xu Zongwen's goal this time was not the nearest Yanzhou, Xu Zongwen's goal was Luoyang!

"Luoyang is far away from Sizhou, 1,500 miles away from Linzi, and across the entire Yanzhou. Is it really feasible to attack Luoyang?" Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads. They all thought that Xu Zongwen's plan was too risky and was definitely not feasible!

But what everyone couldn't imagine was that this time, both Pei Qing and Xi Jian unexpectedly supported Xu Zongwen's adventure.

Pei Qing's reason is very good: "Zhang Chong, the governor of Yanzhou, has led 30,000 elite troops of Yanzhou to raid Suiyang. As a result, the 50,000 Beifu soldiers outside Suiyang City were defeated and retreated into the city. At this time, Yanzhou was empty, and Zhang Chong gathered all the remaining troops.

Stationed in Fenggao, thinking that only

How naive it is that Taishan County alone can stop our Northern Expedition army! In other words, we bypass Mount Tai and go straight to Lu County, from Yuzhou via Gaoping, and from Jiyin County to the north to capture Puyang, all the way to the west, from the Yellow River waterway

Raid on Luoyang..."

Luoyang was garrisoned by Pingyuan Gong Fuhui, and more than half of his 50,000 troops were allocated to the town army general Mao Dang. Mao Dang led the three-party coalition forces of Luoyang, Yecheng, and Taiyuan in the Yongqiu area of ​​Chenliu County and the vanguard of the Jin Dynasty's Northern Expeditionary Army Zhonglu County.

Huan Yi, Xie Yan and others are at a stalemate, and the battle is fierce. They will not be able to return to Luoyang for a while, which means that Luoyang's defense force is greatly insufficient!

"Shen Yu and Zheng Lue's attack on Linqiu will definitely attract support from the Fenggao defenders in the direction of Mount Tai. You can tell Zhu Shijun to take the opportunity to capture Fenggao and attack Mount Tai. Our army will covertly move south from Yuzhou to the north to Puyang. Along the way, we can

Pretending to attack the counties in Yanzhou also gave Mao Dang in the direction of Yongqiu the illusion that our army was reinforcements, and attracted Mao Dang to divide his troops.

In order to reduce the pressure on the Jin army in Yongqiu, our army rushed straight to Luoyang and caught Fu Hui by surprise. Luoyang suddenly shook Chang'an. We took the opportunity to go south to join Xie Cheqi and block Maodang in Chenliu. In this way, Qin's army in the Central Plains

If the whole army is wiped out, then the situation is over. At that time, we will march to Luoyang again and wait for the merger, whether it is Hebei or Yongzhou, it is up to me!"

Xi Jian also suggested that Xu Zongwen bypass Mount Tai, go north from Yuzhou to attack Puyang, capture the Yellow River waterway, and go west to capture Luoyang.

In the original history, there was no such battle between Mao Dang and Huan Yi and Xie Yan. General Mao Dang died at the hands of Murong's Thousand Mile Horse Murong Feng, and now he replaces Mao Dang.

The one who died was his third brother Pingxi General Shi Yue.

"Do you think what these two gentlemen said is very reasonable?" Xu Zongwen asked Zhuge Kan and others, twirling his short beard that had begun to sprout.

Everyone has been under Xu Zongwen's hands for more than a day or two. Since Xu Zongwen called them here early in the morning, they all understand that Xu Zongwen has already made a decision. At this moment, he is just testing their minds and checking his knowledge.

Extraordinary, worthy of a great responsibility.

Zhuge Kan replied loudly: "The march route proposed by the two gentlemen is very hidden, and Shen Yu and Zheng Lue have attracted the attention of Yanzhou. It will not be a problem for us to bypass Mount Tai and go south to Yuzhou. We just pass through the counties of Yanzhou and reach Puyang.

The Qin State passes through too much territory, and the whereabouts of the army cannot be concealed. Is there any risk of being exposed?"

In fact, Xi Jian has already mentioned Zhuge Kan's concerns. Xi Jian believes that instead of hiding his tracks when heading north from Yuzhou, he should do the opposite, swaggering through the counties, knocking on the mountains to shock the tigers, and giving Zhang Chong who was besieging Suiyang some strength.

The pressure made him dare not fight to the death with the cavalry general Xie Xuan!

After Xu Zongwen explained it again, Zhuge Kan got the idea, got rid of his doubts, and applauded the surprise attack on Luoyang.

"Brother, why don't you directly join forces with Xie Cheqi and Yingwai to defeat Zhang Chong, then go all the way north to relieve the siege of Yongqiu? More than two thousand troops attacked Luoyang, and there were countless changes in the middle. Whether they can succeed is not yet known. Join the Central Route Army.

Wouldn't it be safer to go north and capture Luoyang together?" Tian Luo couldn't help but raise an objection.

It is a fact that Xie Xuan asked Linzi for help, and there is nothing wrong with Tian Luo's method. The biggest problem is that they do not understand Xu Zongwen's true intention?

As a qualified soldier of later generations, influenced by the feelings of family and country, he wanted to maintain the unity of the country. This kind of mood was not something that people in the Jin Dynasty could understand.

Xu Zongwen understands the trend of history. He knows that the Central Plains will undergo great changes in the future. Murong Chuihui will rise in Hebei, and the Yan State (Later Yan) will also successfully revive. After the Qin State, the north will be like a stage, and people of all ethnic groups will come up to perform their skills. How about you?

After I sang, I came on stage and it was chaotic for who knows how many years?

Who is suffering? The common people, or the few Han people in the first place!

Xu Zongwen's idea was to capture Luoyang quickly and quickly, and cooperate with Xie Xuan's central army to connect Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Sizhou to jointly fight against Murong Chui, who was about to form a stronghold.

Eat the fat meat of the Central Plains in your mouth first, recharge your batteries, and then go to the hard bones of Murongchui in Hebei Province to obtain the greatest benefits for the Jin Dynasty's Northern Expedition, and at the same time rescue the people who have been trapped in the brutal rule of the Hu people for more than 60 years.

Han people!

As for Chang'an, his abilities are limited and he is really beyond his reach. Let's just watch Murong Hong, Murong Chong and the others and fight Fu Jian first. Don't worry.

There is no need to save Xie Xuan. Just bluff behind Zhang Chong's back and scare him. As long as Zhang Chong is suspicious, there will inevitably be gaps. Who is Xie Xuan?

Xie Xuan was at a disadvantage for a while, but it doesn't mean he has no ability! Without ability, Xie Xuan could launch the Battle of Luojian and lead the Beifu Army to defeat Qin's two to three hundred thousand army?

During the Battle of Feishui, Xie Shi was in charge of the central army, and it was Xie Xuan who really contributed.

If even Zhang Chong can't be solved, then Xu Zongwen doesn't think it's necessary to save Xie Xuan or not!

Mao wanted to confront Huan Yi and Xie Yan with an army of 100,000 men. Yongqiu, Luoyang, and even most of Sizhou were empty in the rear. If he didn't take advantage of his illness to kill him, why should he confront Mao head on?

Doesn't exist.

As long as Xu Zongwen captures Luoyang, the stalemate battle situation in the Central Plains will immediately change. The balance of victory will tilt towards the Jin army. Xie Xuan will defeat Zhang Chong and Mao Dang will retreat from Yongqiu. It is inevitable!
