Chapter 351 Meet
Wei Yi walked to the large map hanging on the wall and stared at it for a long time.
To forge iron, you have to be tough yourself. If you now have the strength to defeat Linghuye's army head-on, why should you care about Li Dachui? If they were strong, how could people like Zhang Songlin and Wu De change their families?
“Guard Hedong County, control Tongguan, join forces with Zhang Quanyi, firmly control this area, and fight a protracted war with Linghuye. As long as we can survive until next spring plowing, Linghuye’s The offensive can no longer maintain its current intensity!" Wei Yidao.
Wei Zhengdao nodded.
As long as they survive until tomorrow's spring, the hundreds of thousands of young people mobilized by Linghuye must return home for spring plowing. Otherwise, you will miss farming for a while, and farming will miss you for a year.
Without these laborers to transport grain and grass, build bridges and pave roads, the army's combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
Moving forward, in the summer, the scorching heat will seriously weaken the morale of the soldiers. At this time, food and grass will also be at the most difficult time of the year, and Linghuye may not be able to survive.
But Chang'an has no worries about food.
Luoyang also has no worries about food.
The food stocks in these two places are enough to support the army for at least two to three years. Of course, this does not include ordinary people.
But as long as the front line blocks Linghuye's attack, there is still a lot of farmland around Chang'an that can be planted.
"Yongfengcang must be defended! We must not fall into Linghuye's hands." Wei Yi pointed to a dot on the map. For a military master like Ling Huye, the importance of Yongfengcang can be seen at a glance.
This is definitely a focus of the next battle.
Taking Yongfengcang will not only obtain a stable food supply, but also secure the channel for the Tongguan defenders to move westward to aid Chang'an.
"The inspection brigade of five thousand people will set off immediately to reinforce Yongfengcang." Just as Wei Zhengdao said this, he suddenly remembered that Wu De created the inspection brigade, and Wu De was now mixed with Li Dachui. What exactly is this inspection brigade? I really can’t tell whose it is.
The father and son looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
No matter from which aspect, it is impossible to bypass Li Dachui.
Chang'an can no longer mobilize more elite troops. After all, Chang'an is more important than Yongfengcang.
If Chang'an wants to hold on for a long time, it cannot do without the strong support of Shuzhong. As long as Shuzhong continues to send supplies to Chang'an, Chang'an will have more confidence to fight a protracted war with Linghuye.
"Linghuye's strength makes it impossible to launch an attack of the same scale on both Luoyang and Chang'an at the same time!" Wei Zhengdao thought: "So one part must be real and the other part false. In my opinion, Linghuye will definitely With Chang'an as the focus of the attack, Luoyang will definitely be weak."
"You want Zhang Quanyi to launch a large-scale attack on Luoyang, so that Linghuye has to distract him?" Wei Yi? Shaking his head and sighing: "Zhang Quanyi is in Luoyang now. He does have the strength, but the question is, is he willing? His current attitude is vague. I just hope he doesn't abandon us. As long as he doesn't turn to Linghuye, then It can contain a lot of Linghu Ye’s power!”
“So we have to persuade him to join us in the same boat!” Wei Zhengdao smiled and said, “Yesterday, He Bing and I discussed it. This is the conclusion reached. Perhaps, a prince can make Zhang Quanyi attracted. Think about it, a person who has been lonely since he was not even a Hansu family can be crowned king. "< br>
Wei Yi laughed: "Father, what you said makes me tempted. Let He Bing persuade Zhang Quanyi? At this time, He Bing is willing to leave Chang'an City? Didn't he say that he was still working hard some time ago? Do you want to control that inspection team?”
“I thought about it before, but I don’t think so now!” Wei Zhengdao shook his head and said: “The inspection team belongs to Wu De, but he may be able to take it over. If the inspection brigade is Li Dachui, can he snatch it over? Instead of working in vain in Chang'an, why not go to Luoyang and talk to Zhang Quanyi? They were all colleagues of Hei Bingtai before, and He Bing might also be Zhang Quanyi's boss. They can reach an agreement and become an alliance, so that they can compete with our Wei family.”
Wei Yi said calmly: "Now I hope they can negotiate a good cooperation. If Zhang Quanyi cooperates with us sincerely, Luoyang, Tongguan, and Chang'an will be connected together. As long as Linghuye is defeated once, the Guanlong Group will not collapse like it is now." Xiang Linghuye, and we have more room for maneuver."
"I hope he can succeed!"
"What kind of king is it for Zhang Quanyi?"
"King Lantian!" Wei Zhengdao said with a smile: "I have already asked craftsmen to carve the king's jade seal. I also brought the gold book and jade plate with me. As long as Zhang Quanyi nods, these things will belong to him. Yes, the imperial court will also issue an edict to the world."
"I'm afraid it will make many people jealous!"
"As long as they show their sincerity to the court, what does it matter to a mere prince?" "That's true!"
"How to deal with it in Shuzhong?"
"Pretend to be confused!" Wei Zhengdao sighed: "It's just that we have to reconsider the plan to move to Shuzhong."
There was a knock on the door outside the study, followed closely. The door was pushed open as soon as he reached it, and a woman walked in with a tigerish face.
The two men in the room stood up with smiles on their faces.
Wei Yi took two steps, supported the woman, and said, "Why is mother out? I was going to finish talking to father and then go to the back to say hello to you!"
< br>The woman snorted and said: "How long have you been back? You arrived in the afternoon. It's already dark now. If I don't come, you'll just stay for a while and then leave again, right?"
"How can I? I'm not a saint. I can't go through a house without entering, or go home without seeing my mother!" Wei Yi said with a genuine smile.
"We have prepared meals later. You haven't been back for several months. Today I will have a few drinks with your parents, and then I will stay at home. If you have anything to do, I will take care of it tomorrow!" The woman said.
"Mom, you have to eat, but it's probably not possible to live at home. Tonight I have to go to the Ordnance Department to find their chief, block him in the room at night, and then complete all the ordnance procedures that need to be carried out. Okay, I have to go back to Tongguan early tomorrow morning. The frontline military is very nervous now."
"You men, alas!" The woman sighed, but turned to look at Wei Zheng and said, "Today. In the afternoon, Miss Qingyun, Zhang Ruo's daughter, sent a maid over to say that she had just obtained a lot of high-quality furs from outside the customs. It was a rare good thing even in Chang'an. She had prepared a few for us, and they would be there tomorrow. Will send it over!"
"Zhang Qingyun?" the father and son said in unison.
"It's really a father and son!" The woman glanced at Wei Yi and said, "I remember my husband told me before that Zhang Ruo's daughter should be working for Li Dachui of the Beiting Protectorate. This woman, who had never been in contact with me before, suddenly sent someone to tell me about this matter. The real purpose was probably to see my husband and talk to him about something, so I agreed."
Zhang. Qingyun is Li Dachui's spokesperson in Chang'an. The Wei family and his son are very aware of this, but everyone pretended not to know before.
Now that Zhang Qingyun came to the door openly, he wanted to pierce this layer of window paper.
"It seems that Li Dachui already knows that this matter cannot be hidden from us, so he is ready to talk to us?" Wei Yi thought for a while and said.
"It should be like this!" Wei Zhengdao nodded and said: "This person has courage, planning, sincerity, and strength, but his strength is far outside the pass. In the middle of Shu, it is also because of people Cheng Shi, Zhang Songlin and Wu De are just his partners. I think he needs us to help hold Linghuye down, or let us fight Linghuye and both sides will lose. By then, he will be as good as the fisherman. Profit!"
"So, we can still cooperate with him!"
"Of course, but he needs to show his sincerity."
"Father, if there really comes a day, is it possible for Li Dachui to become the winner?" Wei Yi asked. "What are we going to do?"
"So what if we just help him succeed?" Wei Zhengdao spread his hands: "When did our Wei family ever think about sitting in that chair and becoming an emperor?"
"Since it's a negotiation, Li Dachui must show sincerity this time. Just relying on words won't do it!" Wei Yi said: "The inspection team must be controlled by him, so this time he can guard Yongfengcang. I can see his sincerity. If he really cooperates with us, he will have to help us defend Yongfeng warehouse. If he is half-hearted, then there is no need to say anything. Father, I will make a backup plan in case the inspection team fails to work. , I will also ensure that Yongfengcang is in our hands. At the same time, we can also ask him to send troops into the pass to threaten Hedong and Hexi. As long as the army outside the pass appears within Yangguan, Linghuye will have to retreat."
" You can ask him to guard Yongfengcang, but you can ask him to send troops to join forces with Linghu Yehuo, but he will definitely not do it now!" Wei Zhengdao shook his head and said: "Don't look at it now that he is the only one in the family outside the customs. In fact, every family has its own roots. He must not be able to spare any manpower now, and he is now an enemy of Linghuye. How about we fight to the death first? "
"Father, I will accompany you tomorrow? If you come together, I suspect that Li Dachui will come with this girl Zhang Qingyun."
"It's too grand for father and son to meet him together. You go and do your own business!" Wei Zhengdao shook his head: "I don't think Li Dachui will come tomorrow. What is his status now? He must think that coming to visit me will make me surrender. worth, so Zhang Qingyun will most likely just come as an outpost to agree on a time or place for both parties!"
"Is it such a big deal?" Wei Yi snorted dissatisfied.
"Now he has this capital, because he has time, capital, and can afford it, but we are in danger and need his help!"
