Chapter 867 Eight Pass Cities
Hearing Shang Ruyi’s words, Yu Wenye said nothing more, but his eyes slowly narrowed with a smile.
Shang Ruyi knew that he had guessed correctly.
So he said: "Speak quickly!"
Yu Wenye smiled and then said: "He didn't go for Shen Tutai, so Shen Tutai didn't mess with him, but he still sent I went to inquire about it and found that Xiao Yuansui led an army of 50,000 people to march eastward and lingered near Hejian County. "
"Hejian County?"
Shang Ruyi frowned, made a mental calculation, and said: "Neither he nor Liang Shide's power had reached Hejian County before. Now he has led 50,000 troops there. , do you want to capture that place?”
Yu Wenye nodded: "It seems so."
Shang Ruyi immediately wanted to say something more, but stopped after thinking about it, just stared at him and asked: "What else?"
“What else?”
"Stop pretending, I just saw it. Shen Tutai wrote a long letter. How could he say such a thing? Besides, when he occupied the Song and Xu states, he didn't just need to stabilize these two places. Right?"
Hearing her ask, the smile in Yu Wenye's eyes deepened.
He no longer tried to keep things secret, and said slowly and leisurely: "In addition to the whereabouts of Xiao Yuansui, he also spent some effort during this period to find out about Liang Shide's troops and arrangements near Luoyang."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Shang Ruyi was a little surprised. You know, the reason why Jiang Chongen was able to lure Yu Wenyuan to Longmendu before and almost succeeded was because he presented half of Luoyang's city defense map and lied that he still had the remaining half; later it was revealed that he was He was captured back to Chang'an and thrown into Dali Temple. He died after being tortured in order to get some precise information.
But they also calculated in their minds that with Liang Shide's shrewdness, he might use Jiang Chongen to set up this trap, but it was unlikely that he would really let that idiot master such an important matter. If it were leaked, Luoyang would be in danger.
But now, Shen Tutai took the initiative to do this.
With a pair of information on both sides, it is easier to tell which ones are true and which ones are false.
Shang Ruyi asked hurriedly: "Did he find out anything?"
Yu Wenye nodded and suddenly looked down at Shang Ruyi's arms. It turned out that the little Yuanzi he had just picked up was I was probably a little tired at that time, so I fell asleep in my swaddling clothes. He suddenly smiled and reached out to take his plump son from his wife's arms.
Shang Ruyi whispered: "What are you doing?"
"It's okay, this kid is asleep and won't wake up."
As expected, the kid jolted when he was carried over. Mariko frowned slightly, but still didn't wake up. She just slapped her mouth and fell asleep again. Yu Wenye smiled and held the swaddling clothes in his arms. He waited until the boy was completely asleep, then stretched out his hand and tapped his nose: "For example, this is Luoyang."
Shang Ruyi was frightened and kept saying : "Take it easy!"
Yu Wenye didn't listen, and slid his fingers to the child's fleshy little chin, saying: "This is Yique Pass, and Liang Shide stationed thirty thousand troops here. ”
Shang Ruyi frowned.
She has not forgotten that Yu Wenye took her back to Chang'an from Jiangdu, along the Yishui road. At that time, Liang Shide did not send a large army to chase them out of many considerations, but he had to guard against this road. , and Longmen is the gateway to the south of Luoyang. With 30,000 troops stationed here, he can completely prevent attacks from the south. As she thought to herself, Yu Wenye's hand had already slid up her son's chin to the left cheek, and continued: "This is Dagu Pass, with a garrison of 20,000; this is Sheyuan Pass, with a garrison of 20,000; here is..."< br>
Finally, moved to the left ear: "This is Hulao Pass, with fifty thousand troops stationed."
Hulao Pass, which Yu Wenye mentioned before, if Yu Wencheng can defeat this march, This place was a pass that would impress him.
Shang Ruyi's gaze rested solemnly on his son's fleshy earlobe, and then looked at the places that Yu Wenye had just pointed out on his face, such as Yique Pass, Shenyuan Pass, Dagu Pass, etc. These are The most important eight cities in ancient times. It can be seen that Liang Shide was very strategic. He sent more troops and horses according to priority to these critical passes, and surrounded the entire Luoyang City like an iron barrel.
This battle is indeed difficult to fight.
But——
She calculated in her mind and suddenly looked up at Yu Wenye: "How many defenders are there in Luoyang?"
Yu Wenye just told her After a rough estimate, Liang Shide found that the total number of troops stationed in Luoyang and other places, such as Huiluocang, which is closer to Luoyang City and smaller than Xingluocang, was nearly 100,000. Two hundred thousand.
When Liang Shide captured the Eastern Capital, he commanded more than 100,000 troops. In recent years, Xiao Yuansui led the Wanggangzhai tribe to join, and then successively recovered several rebel armies near Luoyang. Recently, the remnants of Wang Shaoqiu's troops joined them, and their strength A big increase, but no matter how it is enhanced, it will not exceed 300,000 at most.
And he has nearly 200,000 troops stationed in various places, and Xiao Yuansui took away another 50,000. Then wouldn’t Luoyang——
Yu Wenye said: "I It is estimated that the number of defenders in Luoyang City will not exceed 30,000!"
Shang Ruyi took a deep breath.
The entire city of Luoyang has no more than 30,000 defenders. In other words, Liang Shide deployed heavy troops on the outside. First, the outside defense line is strong, making it difficult for any team that wants to attack Luoyang. is controlled outside the eight passes; secondly, even if there are People can break through one of the passes and get close to Luoyang City, but Luoyang City is well-defended and cannot be broken in an instant. As long as he immediately issues military orders and mobilizes the defenders of other passes to return to defend Luoyang, then the attack on Luoyang will be impossible. Instead, the team will become a turtle in a urn.
In this way, anyone who wants to attack Luoyang must weigh his own combat power and the strength of the opponent.
This can be considered a foolproof plan.
Shang Ruyi said: "Liang Shide is indeed a master."
Yu Wenye also stared at his son's peaceful sleeping face and said lightly: "If he is not a master, he is not worthy of such a position. At that time, we had a confrontation."
Shang Ruyi looked at him: "Then what can you do?"
Since Yu Wenye was sure that Yu Wencheng could not even break Hulao Pass, and had also made up his mind to send troops by himself in the future, he must have his own plans and strategies for using troops.
Shang Ruyi said: "King Qi cannot break Hulao, is there any way for you to get closer to Luoyang?"
"..."
Yu Wenye did not answer her immediately, Instead, he raised the corners of his lips slightly, looked at her for a while with a half-smile, and said: "Give me the money first, and then we can collect the number of three thousand people."
