One day in April of the twelfth year of Tianfu's reign, the weather was sunny, and it seemed that the summer wind could be smelled in the air. However, the land was full of wars, and the people were displaced and could not find a place to live safely.
The trend of big countries taking the opportunity to annex small countries around them has become a veritable melee in the Central Plains. As an excellent soldier, you have to learn how to keep yourself alive in this situation!
Kang Long finally selected and led a group of soldiers to join Cao Bin, and then led them to capture the base of the Later Han Dynasty, Hedong! Today, the Shenwu Army has more than 40,000 soldiers, and this number is still rising.
In fact, through the development of the past six months, and the war has started again, more people have chosen to flee or join the army and pick up guns and ammunition. The Shenwu Army already has more than 45,000 soldiers who can fight.
The number of standing armies has reached a surprising level.
Kang Long could finally take a long breath.
He took more than a dozen members of the Mad Wolf Special Forces and slept and ate in the open. The conditions were also very difficult. However, because they had received special training, they were accustomed to it, so they arrived at the designated destination smoothly.
place, waiting for the arrival of his people.
A few days later, Cao Bin finally led a small group of soldiers from the special operations corps to arrive here. After reuniting, he led Kang Long and others to leave quickly without stopping.
As Kang Long walked, he asked Cao Bin about the recent war situation. Cao Bin told him in great detail. After listening to Cao Bin's report, Kang Long lowered his head and pondered.
After thinking for a while, Kang Long seemed to have thought of something, and kept walking in front of the huge sand table in the tent, thinking.
This big tent is the central tent of the Shenwu Army. Ever since the big sand table was made by Kang Long, the Shenwu Army has begun to train specialized surveying talents.
This large sand table was drawn by the brothers of the special operations team who were responsible for collecting intelligence and exploring the terrain, and then it was made into a sand table by specialized talents.
Kang Long looked at the Hedong area surrounded by mountains on the sand table. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was an excellent foundation for development. No wonder in history, the Later Han Dynasty perished not long after Liu Chengyou became emperor, but the Hedong area was
Liu Hao's brother Liu Chong occupied the area and soon established the Northern Han Dynasty here.
Kang Long pointed to the passes on the sand table and around the Hedong area and asked Cao Bin: "Guohua, how should we solve these passes?"
Cao Bin seemed to have planned it for a long time. After hearing this, he stood in front of Kang Long, pointed at the sand table and said: "My lord, this is a typical place with complex terrain but hidden dangers. Many of the founding emperors of the past dynasties have
It gathered momentum on the fertile land of Hedong and then soared into the sky. I think it is right for us to take it. Although the Hedong Army is much stronger than us now and may counterattack at any time,
But as long as we take these four passes as a basis, we will have favorable conditions for advancing, attacking, retreating and defending."
Kang Long nodded. He also thought of this, but he didn't say anything. He continued to lower his head and ponder. After a long while, he said: "Theoretically, this is true, but in reality, none of the four passes is so easy to fight.
.The Hedong Army stationed at these passes are all elites. Many of them have experienced countless battles and finally survived. They are familiar with various tactics, even our special tactics, in their
It may not work there either.”
Cao Bin seemed to have thought of these problems a long time ago, so as soon as Kang Long finished speaking, he laughed and said as if he had a plan in mind: "My lord, my subordinate has studied the terrain of the Hedong area in detail and found a very interesting
Phenomenon. In the Hedong area, there is Taihang Mountain as a barrier to the east, the high and steep terrain at the end of the great wilderness as a support to the west, the Wumeng Plateau as a barrier to the north, and the Zhuolang River natural barrier to the south. Lord, please take a look at the tunnel that connects Hedong with the outside world.
They are regarded as male passes with steep terrain, but this is from the outside. Internally, these four male passes can no longer be called male passes. As long as you seize the opportunity, you can easily capture them."
The more Cao Bin said, the more excited he became, and he seemed to be elated for a moment. However, Kang Long also understood what he meant, and he let go of his worries. Cao Bin was indeed right, there are great passes on all sides of the river east of the river.
To me it can be called a heroic pass, but internally it is just a pass that can be broken through in an instant.
They have now successfully entered the hinterland of Hedong from a hidden Taihang Ancient Road in the Taihang Mountains near Huangzeguan, and successfully captured half of Liaozhou. Such a great situation, coupled with the current military strength of Taiyuan Prefecture in Hedong
It was empty. Among the passes on all sides, there were Yanmen Pass and Zijin Pass in the north, Pianguan Pass in the west, Daoma Pass, Shiling Pass in the east, and Mengjing Pass in the south. Because there were all the parties watching, they had no time to send troops to return reinforcements.
Therefore, if Taiyuan Prefecture is captured at this time, Liu Zhiyuan in Kyoto will definitely feel panic.
Of course, how to destroy Hedong's power in one fell swoop and prevent Liu Zhiyuan from returning to his army still needs to be carefully considered.
Cao Bin saw that Kang Long's face was calm and calm, and there seemed to be no worry at all. He couldn't help but stop his excited words and asked: "My lord, is there a good plan?"
Kang Long nodded and said, "I can't even call it a good strategy. If I say it's a bad move, it's more appropriate."
Cao Bin laughed when he heard what he said was interesting, and said: "My lord, you are so humble. Since ancient times, all the strange plots can be said to be bad moves. From now on, my subordinates have also tried to solve the problem of Hedong.
It is a good strategy for counterattack, so I have been worried about it, and I hope that the lord can clear up the confusion for his subordinates!"
Kang Long thought for a while, with a bastard-like smile on his face, and said: "Guohua, tell me what Liu Hao is most afraid of at this time? What is he most worried about?"
Cao Bin was stunned and said: "What is Liu Hao most afraid of? Of course he is afraid of losing his hometown, Taiyuan Mansion. As for what he is most worried about, my subordinates really don't know."
"Yes, what Liu Hao fears most at this time is losing his home base of Taiyuan. Therefore, the garrison guards at the passes on all sides exceed 5,000, especially Yanmen Pass in the north and Mengjing Pass in the south, with over 10,000 defenders. Naturally, he is the most
He was afraid that at this time, Daliao would suddenly unite and send troops to attack Yanmen Pass. The south was now the place where the Fourth Battle was fought, and it was also the place where he must pass when returning to the army. In addition to the horse infantry stationed with 15,000 troops,
In addition, Hedong has trained a navy regiment of 5,000 men over the years. There are hundreds of large and small warships, which can be said to be able to move thousands of Japanese troops back and forth on the Zhuolang River in a short time. However, Liu
Hao has always valued reputation the most, otherwise he would not have been so reserved until now before sending troops to capture Kyoto, and now he is arguing with individuals from the Confucian sect about how to distribute the ownership of several states in the Central Plains. Therefore, at this moment, Liu Hao
What worries him the most is that people in the world will scold him for being an unworthy emperor. If the Daomen had not surrendered to Hedong this time, Liu Hao would definitely not have dared to send troops. You probably don't know that Murong Yan, who is in the heart of this Daomen,
But he keeps the real jade seal passed down from the country."
Kang Long said calmly, with a hint of a smile on his face, an unpredictable expression that made it impossible to grasp what he was thinking when he spoke.
Cao Bin lowered his head and thought, but his heart was shocked at the same time. The young boy who seemed straightforward and generous half a year ago, but a little green, now has the magnanimity that an emperor should have. This is what he wants to see.
, but also what he was afraid to see.
There was silence in the tent for a while. Kang Long turned to look at Cao Bin and saw that he was pretending to lower his head in thought, but his face was uncertain. After thinking about it, he suddenly realized why Cao Bin suddenly became silent.
Kang Long stood up, walked to Cao Bin, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a confident yet friendly tone: "Guohua, my Kang Long will never change, even if I am on a board with tens of millions of people, I will never change."
The supreme position that people admire is still the same as before. Work hard and you will get what you want."
Cao Bin was shaken again, his eyes were moved, and he knelt down to Kang Long and said loudly: "My lord, Cao Bin is willing to follow the lord to the death, and is willing to be a pawn of the lord to help the lord complete his grand hegemony!"
"Haha! Okay! Come on, get up!" Kang Long helped Cao Bin up with both hands, pulled him to the sand table, and said, "Guohua, come and see, how to deploy it if we want to capture Hedong?"
Cao Bin thought about the original plan, sorted out his thoughts, and then said confidently: "Master, as long as we divide our troops into four groups, we don't have to worry about the troops in the east and north passes returning to the army for the time being.
, Therefore, as long as we send a group of troops to occupy this Tumen Valley and cut off the two main routes from the northeast that must pass when returning to the army. The side pass in the west has always been the key pass in Hedong's defense against Yinchuan and Wumeng. According to Langyan
The team sent back news that the Yinchuan Xixia Kingdom and the Wumeng Kingdom were ready to make a move. They had sent troops one after another and were heading towards Pianguan. There seemed to be movement in Ten Thousand Horses City in the Great Wasteland. According to the battle report of the Wolf Eyes Team,
They seemed to have sent a force of five thousand people, driving nearly ten thousand horses towards Pianguan. The leader was Zhong Wanshan, the chief steward of Wanma City. Zhong Wanshan seemed to have brought the elite of Wanma Hall of Wanma City this time.
They were all brought out, and there were probably more than a hundred Xuan Gong masters accompanying them. Therefore, Pianguan cannot be saved at all this time. However, if we want to control Hedong, we must unite with Ten Thousand Horses City to repel the intruders from Xixia and Wumeng.
Ma. This way, we must send heavy troops. My lord, my subordinates have sent members of the special team to Shazhou Island a few days ago to pick up the special operations commander of the Shenwu Army, Ma Benlei.
I will punish you for arbitrarily mobilizing Master Ma!"
Cao Bin was talking about punishment, but there was no expression of wrongdoing on his face. Kang Long smiled and scolded: "Guohua, when did you learn this nonsense? Besides, I'm not here.
You can find an expression of confession on your face. Okay, okay, let's continue talking. It would be really difficult to handle this matter without Ben Lei."
Cao Bin then continued with a smile: "The other group of people went to Mengjinguan. The main purpose is to contain them so that they can't look at each other. Our navy, which has been trained for many days, also set off from Sanhekou a few days ago. At this time
I'm afraid they have already joined up with Lu Xing in Tokyo. As long as they show up in Kyoto and head west, I'm afraid we won't need to attack Mengjin, and Liu Hao won't be able to sit still."
