Therefore, Gongsun Yan could already think at this moment that Li Jing's route was definitely to leave Shu from Hanzhong.
The more a general like Li Jing understands the importance of speed, the more valuable his troops are. If his reinforcements arrive one day late, the more likely the battle situation will change within this period of time.
Li Jing could not afford to take this kind of threat, nor could any general of the Jin army. Once there was a problem in the Luoyang base camp, it would be an irreparable loss for the entire Jin army.
And if Li Jing's marching route is really this one, in Gongsun Yan's opinion, they may not have no chance of turning around. At least, there is still a lot of room for turning around.
As long as the princes of the Central Plains can guard the important land of Nanxiang in Nanyang, they have every chance to block Li Jing's returning army at the gate of Yizhou.
And now Nanxiang is within the control of the Central Plains princes, and the Central Plains princes can definitely do this.
Now that Zhuge Liang has reversed the war situation in Xiangyang, the southern princes are no longer in power, and the pressure on the Jingbei battlefield has been greatly reduced. Although Zhu Yuanzhang sent his generals to support the Central Plains princes, but even so, at least Yue Fei is not in all directions now
, it’s all about the enemy. At least the south side can make him feel a little more stable!
However, due to the previous losses on the Jiangxia battlefield and Jiangling battlefield, Zhuge Liang no longer had too many troops to help Yue Fei. Especially in the Jiangling battle, the defeat of the Jin army also made their
Almost all the troops were lost.
On the battlefield of Nanyang, Yue Fei tried to stop Zhao Da in Xuzhou at every step, and at this time he had retreated to Wan County, the seat of Nanyang. Xian Zhen and Xie An had now retreated to Xinye after a small defeat.
Although most of Nanyang has been lost, Yue Fei used half of the troops on the battlefield in Jingbei to face the entire three Central Plains princes. This is already a pretty impressive result!
The idea put forward by Gongsun Yan is exactly what everyone wants. The princes of the Central Plains are full of talents, and each of them is a figure that cannot be underestimated. It is still possible to establish a defense line in Nanxiang to block Li Jing for a period of time.
And if Li Jing is forced to change his route and take the Yongzhou route, it will not be a bad thing for the coalition of princes. At least, within this period of time, they can still make a final effort.
However, it would take some effort to persuade the princes of the Central Plains to help them block Li Jing for a period of time!
Although the pressure on the Jingbei battlefield is also very high, everyone can foresee that the first target of Li Yuan's reinforcements is definitely Sizhou, not Jingbei.
Jingbei and Sizhou are not on the same level in terms of their importance to the Jin army.
Furthermore, ten thousand steps back, as long as Sizhou can be preserved, even if Jingbei is lost, it will be nothing. After all, after taking Yizhou, if they want to take back Jingbei again, they can start from
Troops were sent from multiple directions along the Yangtze River, Nanyang, Sizhou, and Yongzhou. This level of difficulty was definitely much easier than before!
Under these circumstances, it can be said that there is more than 90% certainty that Li Jing's reinforcements will regard the northern princes as their first target. Although blocking Li Jing's reinforcements will definitely be beneficial to the Central Plains princes, will the Central Plains princes
Use this to threaten the northern princes?
Everyone knows the answer without thinking, it is for sure! Especially the princes of the Central Plains, except for Zhao Kuangyin, when each one is poorer than the other, it is really an opportunity to catch the autumn wind and they will not let it go.
Therefore, if you want to arrange this matter properly, the northern princes will have to send a few capable generals to contact the central plains princes.
In this regard, Gongsun Yan came forward. He was born in a political family. In addition to being an all-rounder in all aspects, he was also good at talking and talking.
After discussing this issue, the next step is their most important issue, how to capture Luoyang!
Generally speaking, if you are attacking such a fortified city, your priority is to attack the city first and attack the heart first!
However, under Li Xiang's operations, these coalition forces have lost the foundation for attacking the heart!
The biggest unstable factor within Luoyang City is nothing more than the imperialists, but the last time the coalition suffered a loss at the hands of Li Xiang, their own losses were nothing.
Li Xiang's biggest gain in this battle is to take this opportunity to completely and completely destroy the imperialist forces, except for the luxuriant Hongnong Yang family, inside and out.
solved.
After Li Xiang revealed the news that the coalition forces were about to arrive, the morale of the Jin forces in Luoyang City was greatly boosted. Even the forces from aristocratic families who wanted to be the losers, after learning that the coalition forces were about to arrive, also
Don't dare to take that risk and act rashly.
Those aristocratic families in Chengdu city dared to attack Liu Che again and again. In addition to the impact of the battle between the Jin army and the Shu army, the biggest reason was that after they exposed the capitulation faction's ideas, it was impossible for Liu Che to allow them to survive until the Jin army.
The day the army arrived.
It's also a knife to extend one's head, and it's also a knife to shrink one's head. But anyone who is a little bit bloody will probably take the risk, and maybe he can find a way out.
Otherwise, no matter how capable he is, Meng Da, how could he easily persuade so many powerful families to join him in making trouble!
The strategy of attacking the heart is no longer feasible, but if we force a deadly attack! To be honest, the casualties that may occur by then will definitely make these coalition forces look pretty good!
"How about trying to drive the people to attack the city!" Fan Ju, a counselor in the Qin army, said thoughtfully after looking in the direction of Yuan Shao inadvertently.
"What a good idea. Most of the Jin troops in Luoyang City are from Sizhou. Many of the people in Sizhou have family members of Sizhou Jin soldiers. Driving the people to attack the city is very promising!" Liu Xuanchu, a counselor in Liu Bei's army, said.
After all, Liu Xuanchu had a basic intelligence of 94. After Fan Sui opened his mouth, he thought of this strategy to deal a blow to the Jin army. Moreover, he was also vaguely and directly aware of Fan Ju's other calculations.
Liu Xuanchu, a top-notch counselor, has already noticed it. Cui Hao and Yuan Xi, who are the top counselors, are even more aware of it, and they can see it more clearly.
But before they could signal Yuan Shao, Fan Sui continued to speak, "If this were not the case, it might be difficult to capture Luoyang quickly! Once Li Jing's army arrives, if our army is still unable to capture Luoyang, it will take a few years for the Jin army to improve.
Year, the world is so big, I’m afraid there will be no room for us and others!”
