Chapter 474
"Jin Zhun is not acknowledged to be a Hun now. He claims to be the Jin clan of Xihe, and is a descendant of the Chu state in the Spring and Autumn Period." Liu Yu said with a chuckling.
When everyone heard this, they laughed.
"This Jin Zhun seems to be really going to draw a clear line with the Huns." Gongsun Sheng immediately understood Jin Zhun's intention.
"If Jin Zhun is really like this, then it is really useful. Your Majesty might as well give him a generous reward. Wouldn't it be a pleasure to change the Guanzhong land?" Xi Jian said immediately.
Liu Yu shook his head.
"It's probably a bit late. Jin Zhun claimed to be the King of Guanzhong in Chang'an, and even closed Tongguan, and sent people to Liu Yan's army to shout from the air." Liu Yu said.
"Screaming from the air?"
Everyone was puzzled when they heard this.
No one knows what Jin Zhun wanted to do this.
"Jin Zhun sent someone to shout, saying that he was killing the Hulu in Guanzhong, and asked us to send troops to Pingyang to restrain the Hulu Liu Yao's troops so that he could quell the unrest in Guanzhong."
After Liu Yu finished speaking, he thought Jin Zhun's behavior was ridiculous.
"Jin Zhun calls himself the King of Guanzhong? He is really a traitor, so he will not change his mind!" Gongsun Sheng said angrily.
The name of "King of Guanzhong" is not just the name of Guanzhong.
When the heroes destroyed Qin, they used the greatest promise of the throne of Guanzhong.
Later, when Liu Bei founded the country in Yizhou, he first regarded himself as the King of Hanzhong and then became emperor.
"This Jin Zhun calls himself the King of Guanzhong, and must have tried to replace Tuge Liu's family and occupy Guanzhong by himself. This kind of traitor should be eliminated with Liu Yao." Hua Xiu also felt that Jin Zhun had no value in use.
This traitor who frequently makes tricks is not controllable at all, and keeping it is always a disaster.
"Yes, I mean that too!"
Liu Fei looked at everyone and said.
"I'm summoning you to come here with the help of the country and work together to take Pingyang and attack Tongguan all the way, and completely wipe out the thieves and enemies of the Central Plains."
Everyone was a little surprised when they heard this.
"Your Majesty, if you only attack Pingyang, you should still have a great chance of victory, but if you attack Tongguan, you may not be able to succeed. If you consume national strength in vain, you will lose more than you gain." Gongsun Sheng felt a little embarrassed.
"Yes, Your Majesty, it's better to take Pingyang first and then enter Guanzhong from Henan, which is always better than to take it from Tongguan." Hua Xiu also said.
Everyone knows that Tongguan natural danger is difficult to capture, after all, it is based on the advantages of terrain, not a simple city.
Even if the city is destroyed, Yuanlong behind still has a high advantage.
Instead of doing this, it is better to capture the entire Bingzhou area, then look for the opportunity to cross the Yellow River, and then turn south.
In history, the Northern Wei Dynasty destroyed Hu Xia basically took this route.
However, this first requires the establishment of a stable logistics supply line on the west bank of the Yellow River, or the conquering local tribes such as Qiang, Hu Tiefu.
These Qiang and Hu and Tiefu tribes were not in charge of each other. If they defeated some of them, the rest would not be easily surrendered.
The most important thing is that these Qiang and Hu Tiefu are all very poor people, and it is difficult to support themselves and it is impossible to have the ability to supply tens of thousands of troops passing by.
"The chaos in Guanzhong is now a God-given opportunity."
"Jin Zhun, Liu Yao has been fighting in the internal struggles, and Tongguan has not changed hands yet. If he can advance along the water route, his dependence on Tongguan can be greatly reduced."
When everyone felt that the risk was too great, Xi Jian spoke up to support Liu Yu's idea.
"Water roads go hand in hand?" Gongsun Sheng frowned.
‘Yes, it’s just that the waterways are advanced together. The boats and boats enter the Wei River through the river, and then they can go directly to the hinterland of Guanzhong. The dangers of Tongguan can be spared.’ Xi Jian said.
"The navy ships are limited to carry and can only be used as surprise weapons. Once the battle lasts for a long time, how can we ensure the supply of food and grass? If we cannot open up the situation in Guanzhong, wouldn't we have to bury all the bones on the battlefield?" Hua Xiu immediately expressed his objection.
The Yellow River's water transport capacity is effective, and it is going upstream, so the scale of carrying troop troop of the Han army can only gradually increase.
However, in this way, the vanguard who arrived in Guanzhong early would be easily encircled and suppressed by the Hu army.
"So, if you use this method, not only should all troops and horses support each other, but you should also act quickly!"
Xi Jian seemed full of confidence and heard him continue.
‘Now Liu Yao and Jin Zhun are fighting endlessly, so they must have guessed that there are surprise troops attacking through water. As long as they can win the first battle, they can raise their flags and recruit heroes from Guanzhong. In that case, are you afraid that there will be no food and supplies?’
After hearing Xi Jian's words, everyone started to talk to each other in a low voice.
Liu Yu also felt a sudden enlightenment in his heart.
He just felt that Guanzhong was in chaos before, and it was an excellent opportunity.
But Tongguan natural barriers are there, and it is not so easy to take advantage of this opportunity quickly.
Now that Xi Jian said this, Liu Yu had 70% or 80% of his confidence.
"good!"
"This plan is very good. Now the Guanzhong Hu barbarians are fighting against each other. If we cannot take the opportunity to recover the Han family's old land, how can we see the world!"
Liu Yu immediately expressed his words to agree with Xi Jian's plan.
"How many soldiers can our army's boats transport?" Liu Yu asked Xun Sui next to him.
Xun Sui, who had just turned to the charge of military affairs, had already secretly remembered these things in his heart.
Now Liu Yu asked, which gave him the opportunity to show off.
"Your Majesty, the boats that can go upstream are now in Yanzhou. If they are only used to transport soldiers, they can transport 30,000 people!"
"If you carry the weapon and armor tent again, you can only transport 20,000 people and the weapon and armor tent."
"If you carry food and grass for another month, you can only transport 10,000 people at a time."
After hearing this number, Liu Yu was a little disappointed.
"Is there such a small amount of troops?"
"If you carry horses, wouldn't it be even less?"
Almost all the waterways of the Yellow River and Wei River pass through the Huns, and it is impossible to pass quietly.
Once it expands and logs in, it will soon face attacks from the Huns.
Therefore, there is no chance to use the navy's transport capabilities many times. The first battle is a life-and-death battle.
"This is the best situation. If the boats are damaged or the amount of weapons and supplies are excessive, the troops that can be transported will probably be even smaller." Gongsun Sheng said softly.
"Your Majesty, aren't there many boats in Qingzhou? Why not transfer them to use them?" Xun Sui said that he knew that there were many boats in Qingzhou as necessities connecting Liaodong and Pyongyang.
After hearing this, Liu Yu shook his head and said that this method did not work.
"The boats and boats in Qingzhou are basically sea boats. These boats are too deep to drip and have sharp bottoms. When traveling in the river, they are prone to falling into mud and sand and are easily unusable."
Although the severe drought disasters in recent years have improved slightly, the water levels in the rivers and Wei River areas are still not deep, so sea boats will definitely not dare to take risks.
"The so-called surprise soldiers are elite soldiers. Even if there are only 10,000 people, that should be enough!"
After thinking for a while, Xi Jian next to him felt that this capacity was enough.
"What's more, Jin Zhun and Liu Yao are fighting endlessly. It's impossible for many troops to block the attack!"
After listening to this, Liu Yu also felt that it was in line with his own opinion.
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger's son? The barbarians rampage in Guanzhong for several years. I don't believe that all the heroes in Guanzhong are rats and will definitely respond in groups."
"But ten thousand people are still a little short!"
"I think at least 20,000 troops will be transported to a surprise attack."
After hearing Liu Yu's words, Xun Sui and others were very surprised.
"Your Majesty, if you transport 20,000 soldiers, the food and grass you carry will be used in less than a few days."
After hearing this, Liu Yu immediately showed a hint of laughter.
"I have said that many heroes in Guanzhong are righteous men. Twenty thousand kings have arrived at their doorstep. They have served a few meals and are just a simple task. What kind of food and grass should I bring?"
"I've said it all,"
