Seeing Zhao Daqi follow the crowd, Lang Lang said:
"Qu Kui, these three roads are all the best roads to Luoyang. The road led by the Great Sage Master is the only route from Hebei to Luoyang. It was the road that Guangwu took when he sent Deng Yu to Hanoi. One of the advantages of this road is
That is to say, the road is smooth, there is no pain of marching, and the Yellow River can be used to win food, so the military needs are not in danger. But the disadvantage is that we have to attack Wei County and Hanoi here. These two counties are the most powerful counties in the world. Wei has powerful soldiers and crossbows, and Hanoi has three rivers.
Knight, unparalleled in the world, this is not easy to fight.
The Shenshangshi Road in the middle road is the closest to Luoyang. It is the only way from Huaibei to Luoyang. From Yangzhai, you can go north along the Yingshui River and pass through Shenyuan Pass between the Song Mountains to reach Luoyang. But the most difficult part here is
There are twelve winding curves in the ground of Shenyuan Pass, which is also the reason why it is named Shenyuan Pass. Therefore, it can only be used as a side route and not as the main road.
Of course, there is another road that goes south to capture Lu County, passes through Sanya Road, and merges with Nanyang Taiping Road. The so-called Sanya Road starts from Nanyang Basin, goes north along the Kouzi Valley, a tributary of Baihe River, crosses the Funiu Mountain watershed, and then along the Hanhe River Valley
Arrive in Lushan County. This road passes through three passes of Baichong Mountain, Fenshuiling and Luyang Pass, hence the name "Three Crows Road". It has been a shortcut from Nanyang to the Central Plains since ancient times.
Join the South Route Army here, and then go north together, passing through Jishan Mountain and Waifangshan Pass, passing Guangcheng Pass, Taigu Pass, and Yique Pass along the way, and then you can enter Luoyang.
This road is easy to walk and has always been the only way from Jianghan to Luoyang. But there is only one difficulty, which is the Yique Pass, which is less than fifty miles away from Luoyang. This pass is located between two mountains, with Longmen on the left and Xiangshan on the right.
The stone wall stands steeply, looking like a bridge. The Yishui River is passing through it, which is the Yique Pass. This pass has always been the gateway to the south of Luoyang and a key point for the three kingdoms of Han, Qin and Chu.
Therefore, if the Taiping Road on the middle road can merge with the Taiping Road on the south road and pass the three passes, we can also drive straight to Luoyang. Therefore, if these two roads can form a group camp, plus us, the possibility of breaking the three passes is still very high."
After Zhao Da finished speaking, he sat down. After all, only a few people in the hall understood what he said, because the generals of the Taishan Army were basically from Qingyan, and they had never been to Zhao Da in their lives.
I mentioned these places, so I have no idea what Zhao Da said.
Those who understood Zhao Da's words, such as Guan Yu, Yang Mao and other staff, all nodded and agreed with Zhao Da's analysis.
In fact, it can also be seen from this incident that the civil and military divisions under Zhang Chong are still very divided. Why all the staff and scribes can have such an overall view is because these people have a tradition of studying abroad. Simply put, this is where these people go.
There are many, I have seen them everywhere.
The military officers under Zhang Chong were not as numerous as his staff. In fact, if Zhang Chong had not traveled all over the country in his previous life and loved to read maps, he would not have been able to understand what Zhao Da said. Because Zhang Chong in this life was farthest away.
Even if you walked from Jishui to Chengshi, you could have visited Xingyang Aocang, but a night banquet ended this corvee road and inadvertently opened up his road to heaven.
After Zhao Da finished speaking, one of his staff stood up and objected, that person was Gao Sheng.
Although Gao Sheng's surname is Gao, compared to Zhao Da, who is eight feet tall and tall, his appearance is a little more wretched. But as soon as his words came out, people knew what it meant to judge a person by his appearance and lose his son.
"Zhao Jun made a grand statement, which was a grand sight. The situation of mountains and rivers is only in the palm of your hand. But Zhao Jun only expected the situation of mountains and rivers, but did not expect the counterattack of the Han court. Qu Kui said which way is better, not just which way.
It's easy to walk, but I want to ask which road has the best chance of getting Luo.
Just as you said, if the two armies from the middle and southern roads of Taiping Road join forces and go north, follow the Ru River, break through the three passes, and enter Luoyang, but do you know that the Han Dynasty will also gather the largest force to block this road. So it seems that the south road is the most important.
It's easy to walk, but in fact it's the worst way to go. With the strength of the Han Dynasty's northern and southern armies, I don't think Ru Ying Huangjin can withstand it. On the contrary, if you go north and camp with the chief instructor in Ye County, at that time, if
If we can successfully capture Hanoi, we can advance or retreat.
Hanoi is the most powerful place in the world, with rich people and abundant resources. It guards Hebei and is the strategic transportation hub from Hedong to Luo. It is a battleground for military strategists of all ages. It controls the danger of Hulao in the south, leans on the Taihang solid in the north, has mountains and rivers inside and outside, and spans the Shanxi Province.
If Wei and Jin conquer it, their hegemony will be achieved; if Qin conquers it, the three Jins will have nothing to fear. When the Han Dynasty fights for the Central Plains, it will first settle in Hanoi. In this dynasty, Guangwu managed Hebei, using Hanoi and the river as a solid foundation, connecting Shangdang in the north and forcing Luoyang in the south.
Danger requires wealth and solidity. Order the enemy to guard it and entrust it to Xiao He.
According to Hanoi, if the Mengjin Pass can be broken, we can naturally drive into Luoyang in a long way, which is the advance. If we cannot break the Mengjin Pass, we can rely on the big river to confront the Han Dynasty. If we want to retreat, there are three ways to retreat.
Return to Hebei in the east and recover the story of Guangwu. Go north to Taiyuan, pass through Taihangxing, cross the foothills of Taihang Mountain, pass Changping and go up to Dang, and then you can reach Taiyuan. Taiyuan is located in the upper reaches of the Fen River and is a prosperous city. According to this, the hegemony of Jin can be established
. From the west, we can drive to the east of the river, cross Fenglingdu, enter Guanzhong, and become the hegemony of Qin.
As the saying goes, don't worry about victory, think about defeat first. Mengjinguan is the first strategic point between the north and the south. There are strong cities on its north bank, the central island, and the south bank. It cannot be broken at once. Therefore, the advantage of taking the northern route is that you can advance and retreat."
Zhang Chong understood Gao Sheng's words. He meant that the north road is more stable. Even if Luoyang cannot be conquered ahead, he can still go to Hebei, Taiyuan, and Guanzhong to separate the rule. Especially the Taiyuan road he mentioned, Zhang Chong is better than Gao Sheng.
We know better because in another three hundred years, whether it is Er Zhurong or Gao Huan, if they want to control the Luoyang court, they will set up their tyrants in Taiyuan, because once there is police in Luoyang, they will send troops from Jinyang, via Shangdang, Hanoi, and Henan.
Yang, if you drive long distance into Luo, you can arrive there in five days.
So Zhang Chong couldn't help but admire after hearing Gao Sheng's words:
"Gao Jun has thought well."
Gao Sheng smiled to himself, gathered his clothes and bowed, then sat down. In fact, Gao Sheng had his own small thoughts when he proposed to go north. If he went north, he would definitely go to Pingyuan County. When the time comes, Gao Sheng will go to his hometown with the army, and he will naturally have a grudge.
Revenge, complain if you have any grievances, and let the children of the Gao family see how successful he is now.
Gao Sheng didn't feel that he was pretending to be a public servant for personal gain. Instead, he believed that the truly smart ones always served public and private interests. Taking the north road is inherently better than taking the south road, isn't it?
Zhang Chong didn't know what Gao Sheng was thinking. He was also considering his words seriously, and there was indeed three points of truth. But Zhang Chong was still dissatisfied in his heart. Because he knew that in history, Hebei Taiping said goodbye and entered Hanoi, and even Wei Jun did not
Didn't get through.
At first, Zhang Jiao's army still had the advantage, but when Lu Zhi led the fifth school of the Northern Army and Youzhou's sudden cavalry to the south, Zhang Jiao's army's situation took a turn for the worse. In the end, Zhang Jiao's army was beaten and retreated to Guangzong until he died of illness.
And what Gao Sheng said is that everything is based on the fact that they can capture Hanoi. Now that they can't capture it, this strategy is much inferior.
Just when Zhang Chong was still looking to see if anyone had better suggestions, Tao An, who was the last to join the army, stood up and said something that Zhang Chong really deserves to think highly of him.
"Qu Kui, An has an immature idea and wants to discuss it with Qu Kui."
Encouraged by Zhang Chong, he said:
"There is a problem when going north to Hebei. It is not outside but inside. Has Qu Kuai ever thought that once we camp with the Taiping Dao regiment in Hebei, we will have to listen to the chief commander's orders. I heard that we are not very close to the Taiping Dao.
Hehe, if at that time they had deprived Qu Kui of his teaching position and incorporated the Taishan Army, then should we or should we not? If we should, that would be to put our lives in the hands of others. If we should not, then in the early stages of the uprising, we would be peaceful.
The Tao is divided, so why bother using the Tao of Peace to start trouble now?"
What Tao An said really stunned Zhang Chong. He really had never thought about this level. But if you think about it carefully, will what Tao An said become a reality? Based on Zhang Chong's experience in Taiping Road in the past four years.
From experience, Taiping Road is not a good place. There are many people who are fighting for power and profit, and the most important one is the great virtuous teacher. In Zhang Chong's opinion, he is a typical example of a young man who slays dragons and turns into an evil dragon.
What would Zhang Jiao's reaction be when he saw that Taishan's army was strong and powerful? If he looked at the bright side, Zhang Jiao would have driven Taishan's army as the vanguard and let them fight to the death with the main force of the Han court. In the end, their Taishan army was defeated. People still think that
It's for Zhang Chong's benefit, because this way he won't arouse suspicion among his superiors and subordinates, and since he has no more soldiers, his mind will be at peace. So if Zhang Jiao sees that Zhang Chong is a talented person and doesn't want Zhang Chong's life, he will do this. In the end
, Zhang Chong, who had no troops, naturally became a migrant worker on Taiping Road.
But if Zhang Jiao dislikes Zhang Chong and feels that Zhang Chong is rebellious, it will be even worse. Then he will not drive Zhang Chong to fight to the death with the Han court, but will promote Zhang Chong to a false position as the head teacher and hang him up high, etc.
The Taishan Army was defeated, and then one of them was killed directly, and Zhang Chong was solved.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chong shuddered. He looked at Tao An and couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, sometimes it is impossible to do without counselors. Although Zhang Chong is not short of resourcefulness, after all, a wise man will make a mistake after many considerations. And this mistake was because of him.
The impression of divine martial arts that has been formed on the subordinates for a long time and they will not subconsciously doubt it will naturally not be discovered.
And this mistake may cost Zhang Chong his life. Therefore, the role of a counselor who can think independently comes into play at this time, which is to check for his mistakes and fill in the gaps at this time.
Moreover, he also discovered the difference between Tao An, Zhao Da, and Gao Sheng. If Zhao Da only analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the three routes from a geographical perspective, then Gao Sheng further analyzed it from a military perspective, but what about Tao An? He was directly separated from the specific details.
, rising to political struggle, this is a political thinking. This Tao An is indeed a member of the party. He has a much deeper understanding of the cruelty of political struggle than they do, and he has even less illusions about political struggle.
Continuing to derive from Tao An's ideas, Zhang Chong can no longer camp with the Taiping Dao group and has to take charge of it on his own. But where should he attack? And if he really wants to take the initiative later, what should he do with the base he has laid?
What to do? Even where will this war end? Will Zhang Jiao die? Or will Zhang Chong capture Luoyang?
Zhang Chong asked all these questions to the counselors. Tao An was too young to join the Taishan Army, and he could not answer these questions. At this time, Zhang Chong's chief counselor, He Kui, stood up, and his strategy was directly related to this time.
The strategic conference of the Taishan Army came to an end.
It seems that He Kui has also learned bad things and knows that important people always speak last.
