After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Since Sikong Tong adopted Sikong Yuehu's big plan to sneak attack Hanzhong, he specifically told Yingshu: "Put everything down in advance, go to Xinsu Mansion more often, and discuss with Shiro to complete the plan. Alas, Emperor Xiu, I have to let you go this time." You took a big risk. I still don’t know how to mention this to your grandfather, let alone how to speak to your father. But I can only hope in you, not only to keep my own safety, but also to ensure your safety. We also want to ensure that Shenyuan returns to Henan safely. You should listen more to the affairs of the Royal Court of the Northern Han Dynasty. I have already told Shiro that no matter what the secret is, as long as it is helpful to the plan, I can tell you as much as possible."

This is a big deal.

Although Jiang Mo, the envoy of the Northern Han Dynasty, may still be on his way to Baling, whether he will ask the emperor to envoy the capital of Han Dynasty is only based on speculation. However, we do not want to fight an uncertain battle. We have already formulated a battle plan, so we must first prepare for the battle. The plan is perfect.

On this day, Sikong Yuehu pointed at the map and explained the topography in detail.

"Bashan and Hanzhong are separated by Bashan. Currently, it is not possible to go from Bashu to Hanzhong by water. You can only take the plank road. The plank road in Shu is rugged. Therefore, although Jiang Mo entered Bashu via the Shu road this time, if the emperor is on an envoy, he will certainly not go there. Shu Road. Do you know why Jiang Mo took the Shu Road through Jianmen to Yizhou, and then to Jiangzhou before taking a boat to Jiankang?"

"Is this Jialing Water?" Ying Shu asked.

"Do you still know about Jialing Water?"

"After reading Jiangzhou County Chronicles, I know that Jiangzhou is located at the confluence of the Jialing Waterway and the Yangtze River Waterway."

Sikong Yuehu smiled.

Yingshu didn't see his smile at all. She looked eastward along the Jialing River. She frowned and thought for a long time before saying: "The waterway from Jiangzhou can reach Jingzhou directly, and conversely, the waterway from Jingzhou can only reach Jiangzhou. It stands to reason that Bei Zhao If you want to invade south, you don't necessarily have to conquer Xiangyang. As long as you capture Jiangzhou, you can also use Jiangzhou as a stronghold to build warships and train naval forces, and then directly along the Yangtze River, posing a threat to Jiankang.

However, if Northern Zhao does not destroy Northern Han first and wants to seize Jiangzhou, it can only attack from Jingzhou. It has to cross Jiangguan, which is not Di Yi's specialty. It can be said that attacking Jiangzhou from the east is more difficult than directly attacking Jiangzhou. Siege Xiangyang. "

"The analysis is correct."

"But for the Northern Han Dynasty, it was difficult for them to break through Hangu Pass. Of course, they could not devour Northern Zhao and then besiege Xiangyang. If they wanted to bypass Northern Zhao, they could still go out of Wuguan and attack Jingxiang. But they To mobilize the army, we must withdraw the troops from Lianzhu Mountain without losing Tongguan. Then we can seize Hanzhong, and even advance to Chang'an, cutting off the Northern Han army's retreat. It is impossible for them to choose such a risky strategy.

As far as the Northern Han Dynasty was concerned, if they intended to invade the south, they could only proceed step by step. They sent troops from Hanzhong to capture Bashu first. Depending on the natural dangers, they built ships and trained naval forces in Jiangzhou, and then marched eastward.

I understand that Jiang Mo did not go directly to Jiankang via the waterway from Hanzhong this time. He wanted to observe the terrain relationship of the Shu Road. "

Ying Shu raised her eyes and finally saw Sikong Yuehu's smile.

"The analysis is correct. If the emperor is on an envoy, he must go directly to Hanzhong via the Han River, then land, and then turn to the Baoxie Road to reach Chang'an. Do you know why you can't go directly to Chang'an via Wuguan?"

Ying Shu found the location of Wuguan on the map.

"Although Xiangyang and Jingzhou are now under the jurisdiction of our court, they cannot easily mobilize the garrison, and Wancheng is now occupied by Northern Zhao. If the imperial army takes the Wuguan land road, it is likely to be pursued by the Wancheng garrison. The only way is from the Han River to Hanzhong, and then taking the land route to Chang'an is the safest route."

"There is no direct waterway from Hanzhong to Chang'an, so when you evacuate from Chang'an, you can only take the Baoxie Road. The difficulty is that you must escape from Northern Han before we launch a military operation to capture Hanzhong."

If they couldn't escape, they would be hostages in the hands of the Northern Han Dynasty.

"I have a question. Since the waterway can go directly from Xiangyang to Hanzhong, why doesn't His Highness just recapture Hanzhong through the waterway?"

Sikong Yuehu said: "It is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice."

Yingshu understood: "Insufficient troops?"

"The garrisons in Xiangyang, Jingzhou and other places cannot be easily mobilized, and the Chinese army must defend the capital, and at the same time, be ready to support important towns. Although the Northern Han Dynasty has no navy, even if our army can land in Hanzhong via the waterway, , the water battle will turn into a land battle. If Hanzhong cannot be captured immediately, it will be attacked by the heavy troops from Lianzhu Mountain. Even if they win by chance, the casualties will be very heavy, and Hanzhong will not be lost.

And even if we can destroy the Northern Han Dynasty first, we will definitely face the invasion of the Northern Han Dynasty soldiers from Hangu Pass. Our chances of winning are very slim. Therefore, in this military operation, I only hope to capture Hanzhong and keep the Northern Han Dynasty. They became our barrier, blocking Northern Zhao from advancing westward. "

Yingshu was convinced.

"As for how to ensure that the palace prince and you escape from Chang'an safely, the current plan is just on paper. Everything will have to wait until Jiang Mo's delegation arrives in Jiankang before we can figure it out. However, I still hope that the female historian will believe me. If your safety is not guaranteed, , I will not order the use of troops.

The envoy ship of our dynasty can only dock in Hanzhong. At least the emperor and you must board the envoy ship and leave the waters of Hanzhong before I order the troops to leave Shuzhou to attack Hanzhong. This is why I must not hand over the main battle power this time. One of the reasons given to He Zhi. "

Yingshu could only say: "Thank you for your thorough plan, Your Highness."

"There's no need to thank me."

Sikong Yuehu walked away a few steps, filled a cup of tea, and drank it slowly. Seeing Yingshu still circling around the huge map, he couldn't help but smile again: "In the past few days, my father will make more choices for the emperor." There are a few martial maids, but although the martial maids are good at it, they may not be careful about things. The female history of the middle school should be more careful and give them some training. I will also rush to draw the topography of Chang'an City. Whether it is the palace prince and the You must have an impression of the history of middle-aged women and military maids."

As soon as he said this, he was interrupted by Yu Yu.

In order to prevent others from disturbing others, Yu Yu personally "protected" at the entrance of Xinsu Jun's academy today, and stopped Baoqin back several times when he saw someone with ulterior motives. But now, he has no choice but to disturb the "tryst" between his master and the middle-aged girl Shi. .

Military operations are top secrets. Even for a confidant like Yu, Sikong Yuehu did not disclose it. Yu Yu didn't know the reason why His Highness the Fourth Prince had suddenly had frequent contacts with the middle-aged girl Shi recently, so he would inevitably think wrongly, but he could only think about it. Think about it - eunuchs must have the conduct of eunuchs. No matter who the master will marry as his concubine, whether he favors the concubine or concubine, it is not the eunuch's turn to dictate. He only needs to know who has the right to enter. In the academy, it is enough for anyone who belongs to the idle class.

Of course, you must also know that if something cannot be delayed, it must be reported in time.

"Your Highness, there was a big commotion in front of the street gate of Yong'an Qizhai today. Qi Lang was going to announce his divorce in public. He Nvjun and Zhang Shaojun left in a rage. Before Yongan Qi could send the divorce letter and Zhang Shaojun's dowry back to the Zhang family, , Zhang Youjun actually gathered more than a hundred private guards armed with weapons to cause trouble, but Qi Sima was still able to put them down, and turned all the trouble-making private guards to the Jiankang government office."

Yingshu was very cold. This incident also happened in her previous life.

Sikong Yuehu was even colder: "Qi Sima knows what's appropriate. Although he can directly kill the criminals who break into the house, it will not intensify the conflict. It's just a wife. There is no need to cause a river of blood. .”

He seemed to hear the woman's very low laughter, but when he looked over, he didn't see the smile.

"It's just... uh..."

"No need to hesitate, just say it."

"Today Wang Shaojun went to Gu'anli first and met His Highness Sixth Highness. The conversation with His Highness Sixth was not heard. However, Wang Shaojun later defended Zhang Shaojun and asked for his own humiliation in front of the street gate of Yong'anqi. Then he returned Went straight to He's house."
