Chapter 344 Heading straight to Chang'an
Chang Lei's sword in his hand danced like a whirlwind. The hundreds of Chang family servants who originally followed him as the first to ascend are still with him, but there are only about thirty of them. , but they firmly occupied a territory on top of the city. Seeing the siege vehicle clanking close to the city wall, and countless soldiers climbing up quickly along the siege vehicle, Chang Lei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you for your hard work, General Chang. Please take a rest and leave the rest to me!" Linghu Shili passed by Chang Lei with a knife in hand and smiled and cupped his hands at him: "General Chang, take it seriously. Mighty!"
Looking at the other person's leaving figure, Chang Lei was so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas fell to the ground, but there was nothing he could do.
Now that he is in an awkward position among Linghu's army, he has to use his merits again and again to resolve the gossip and groundless suspicions at the beginning of every battle.
But even so, he is now being gradually marginalized in the entire Linghu clan system.
Linghuye trusted him as always, but others did not have Linghuye's broad-mindedness.
His former friends are also alienating him.
Chang Lei became very angry when he talked about these bad things.
When the army entered the pass, he led some of the Chang family's elite troops first, leaving his father and eldest brother behind.
But the result was that his father and eldest brother abandoned Linghu and themselves without hesitation and turned to Li Dachui.
Although the final result seemed to prove that his father's approach of hedging his bets was not wrong, Chang Lei still felt uncomfortable!
For this kind of thing, can't you ventilate yourself beforehand?
After all, I am also your biological son!
Sitting in a pool of blood and breathing heavily, a general came over with a bloody knife, sat next to him, and handed him a water bag.
"More than forty brothers died, and more than twenty others were seriously injured. It will take several months to recover!" the family general reported.
Chang Lei nodded, there was nothing that could be done about it. They had been blocked in Huoyi by the imperial army for nearly a month. In order to conquer this place, everyone worked hard.
After taking Huoyi, the road will be wide for Linghu’s army.
Chang'an is close at hand.
Maybe in the end, your side is the right one.
Seeing that the city gate was finally opened by Linghu Shili's men, and the troops outside the city swarmed in, Chang Lei stood up with his sword in hand, "Go back, we have captured this place, you can have a good rest for a while!"
A few days later, in the meeting hall.
When everyone filed into the meeting hall, Linghuye was holding an inkstone in one hand and a wolf hao in the other, drawing a map of Chang'an and nearby Luoyang on the wall.
When the last person stepped into the lobby, Linghuye just happened to put the final touch. He looked at the splendid country he had written. He turned around, smiled and said to everyone: "The army has been fighting continuously. After a few months, we have captured Huoyi, and we can take a good rest for a while. However, we cannot rest while the soldiers are resting. We have called everyone here today to discuss what to do next!”
"Of course we will only obey the commander-in-chief's lead. We will do whatever the commander-in-chief says!" Wang De said with a loud smile and cupped his hands.
Since Linghu's army entered the pass, Wang De has become more well-behaved.
In fact, he has always been very well-behaved.
Compared with Wan Feng who was slaughtered by Linghuye, Wang De's original greatest ambition was to be transferred from Linghuye's subordinates and become an official elsewhere. For this reason, he would collect the All the money was dedicated to Wei Zhengdao.
Unfortunately, Wei Zhengdao accepted the money and nothing was done.
And now, Linghuye's public slogan is to clean up the emperor and punish the traitors.
Who is this traitor?
Self-explanatory, of course it is Wei Zhengdao.
Now there is no king, not even the prince, so the only slogan left is to punish traitors and sycophants.
Linghuye would naturally not recognize the puppet emperor Wei Zhengdaoli.
Due to his close relationship with Wei Zhengdao in the past, Wang De was always on tenterhooks, fearing that Linghuye would use him as a sacrifice at some point, so now his mouth is basically as if it has been wiped with honey. It was Ling Huye who said it, and he couldn't help but praise it.
After listening to Wang De's words, Linghuye smiled: "We have brainstormed and we have found the right way. Let's all talk about it!"
For this guy, Linghuye really has no intention of killing him now. .
If it weren’t for the incident outside the customs and Chang Jian and Chen Liang’s betrayal, Wang De’s head would have been gone long ago. But now, the fact that this man is alive can be regarded as a signal to the outside world.
I am tolerant.
But this guy is just a person now, and it is impossible to expect him to come up with ideas.
Even if he has an idea, he won't be the one who stands out. His eyes swept across the people under the tent, and finally fell on Chang Lei.
His subordinates, Li Guohua, is currently in Luoyang, and Linghu Zhishu has gone to Shuzhong. Most of his generals are warriors with well-developed limbs and simple minds, so Chang Lei is quite smart and intelligent. experience.
"Commander, after capturing Huoyi, we actually have two options. The first option is to attack Chang'an directly. The second option is to send troops eastward and capture Hedong County, and then fight with General Li Guohua. Let’s meet and go to Luoyang first!” Chang Lei said.
Linghuye nodded.
"In your opinion, which line should we take?"
"According to what my subordinates see, we should directly cross the Yellow River and attack Chang'an!" Chang Lei answered simply and neatly.
“My subordinates object!” Linghu Shili said loudly.
Linghuye glanced at him calmly and said, "Reason?"
"Tongguan." Linghu Shili said loudly: "If we attack Chang'an directly, Tongguan is There is a large army stationed there. When the time comes to attack, won’t we be attacked from both sides?”
Chang Lei glanced at Linghu Shili and said coldly: "As long as we occupy Yongfengcang, we can firmly control Tongguan! Commander, your troops are very fast. As long as Chang'an is captured, Guanzhong's message can be decided, and At that time, Hedong County and Tongguan had no choice but to surrender to the commander. "
"Once we capture Chang'an, we will become the target of public criticism!" Wang De said cautiously! He glanced at Linghuye and said: "Besides, Chang'an is the home base of the Wei family. It has been in business for many years. It will be difficult to capture it in a short time!"
"Is Luoyang easy to fight?" Chang Lei Sneered: "Zhang Quanyi occupies Luoyang, owns Liyang Cang and Luokou Cang, and there is no shortage of food. To the east, the Chen family of Qi County and the Qin family of Donghai are eyeing them. Even if we take Hedong County and join forces with General Li Guohua, we still have to fight these forces Why bother fighting in Henan?"
Ling Huye looked back at the map behind him with a smile and said: "What you mean is, concentrate all your efforts to capture Chang'an, and then use Chang'an's The terrain, just sit and watch the heroes from the Central Plains fight?"
"That's right!" Chang Lei bowed and said: "If the heroes from the Central Plains want to compete with us, they must do so to a large extent. To capture Luoyang, Zhang Quanyi in Luoyang would have to be attacked from all sides. He Zudao, this troublemaker, had completely robbed Luoyang, leaving only Luokoucang and Liyangcang behind. Zhang Quanyi wants to fight with us. Let the people of Hebei fight to the death with Zhang Quanyi! In the end, maybe the commander-in-chief can win Luoyang without fighting!"
Linghuye laughed: "As expected of the Chang family Qilin'er, this plan won my heart."
Linghuye settled the plate with one word, but everyone looked at Chang Lei with eyes like Something strange.
Because Ling Huye's words seemed to be a compliment. The problem is that the Chang family has already defected to Li Dachui and Xiao Changche, and Chang Lei is considered an abandoned guy.
Chang Lei bowed and retreated, closing his mouth tightly again.
Linghu Ye pointed at the map with his empty hand and said: "What Chang Lei said is exactly what I think. The army will go straight into Chang'an and capture the enemy's henchmen. After taking Chang'an, we will have Hedong and Hexi as the fundamentals. Send troops to wipe out the small forces in Longyou and northern Shaanxi, consolidate while recuperating, and then wait for opportunities to act!”
"The handsome man is wise!" Everyone in the room sang praises.
“Chang Lei!” Linghu Ye said.
"The end is here!"
"You came up with the idea, so you will be the vanguard. As soon as the rest period is over and the Yellow River freezes, we will cross the Yellow River from Longkou and go straight to Chang'an! "
"I will obey the order!" Chang Lei felt bitter, and he asked himself to be the vanguard. Is this the end of the elite power in his hands? Although Linghuye replenished his strength in time, the problem was that the elites he brought from the Chang clan were too small to fight!
"Linghu Shili!"
"The general is here!" Linghu Shili didn't panic at all, because over the years, he had been scolded by Linghu Ye for a long time and had lost his temper, and he didn't care anymore. Compared with his brother Linghu Zhishu, he is just a child who gets scolded.
"Take your troops and send out troops immediately, and seize Yongfengcang for me with lightning speed!" Linghuye said: "Then station on the spot."
"Okay. "Na!" Linghu Zhishu was happy, as he was indeed one of his own family. Yongfengcang was rich and had endless food. This good thing would eventually fall on his own family.
The decision has been made, but Li Guohua still needs to be informed.
If the main force does not capture Hedong County, the pressure on Luoyang will increase. He not only has to deal with Zhang Quanyi, but also the heroes of the Central Plains.
This is also the reason why Linghuye let Li Guohua lead the way alone.
Under Linghuye, the one who can really stand on his own is Li Guohua.
Thinking about Li An Dachui and Xiao Changche, Linghu Zhizhi couldn't help but feel a little sad. If he could have taken these two people under his command, he would probably be sitting alone in Chang'an City now!
Shaking his head vigorously, Linghuye drove this delusion out of his mind.
Now, not only can these two people not help me, they will also become my biggest obstacle in competing for the world.
At present, the forces outside the pass are growing steadily. Li Dachui, a real troublemaker, has come to cause trouble inside the pass. I wonder what is going on in Shuzhong?
If Shuzhong falls into the hands of Li Dachui, it will be troublesome!
Li Shen and Tang Yin can’t be so useless, right?
