Zhang Liang speculated.
The northern army would definitely use Yingbu.
Their battle tactics and marching route would definitely be imitated by Wuqi.
Wu Qi was once the general of Wei State. He was ordered by Marquis Wen of Wei to attack Qin State and did not go to Hangu Pass.
He had crossed the Yellow River to enter Qin and conquered more than ten cities along the way, causing Qin to be in a sorry state.
Zhang Liang said," The Yellow River seems to have a large area to attack, but there are very few ferry ports available. There is no need to defend hundreds of miles of the river. As long as we set up defenses in Wangcheng County to the west of the Yellow River, we can hold the main ferry in one fell swoop. Once the enemy appears, we can attack halfway across.”
"If we can make use of the natural barrier of the Yellow River and deploy warships to ambush them in advance, the enemy soldiers will definitely be at a loss. They will be trapped between the Yellow River and the Luo River, and we can completely encircle and suppress them in one fell swoop.”
“……”
Ying Lin thought about it.
This was indeed waiting for fatigue.
It's a good plan to hit the enemy with a little trick.
At this moment, Ziying said,"Great Qin is unable to find enough warships in a short period of time.”
"Don't worry."
"Zhen came to find a ship."
"How are we going to fight Liu Ji's south army?”
Zhang Liang pointed at the map of Hanzhong and said,"First, we must determine how the enemy soldiers will enter Qin."”
"Hanzhong County has four ancient roads that lead to Qin. They are Chencang Road, Baoxie Road, Tangluo Road, and Ziwu Road.”
"Chencang Road is a waterway, so we have to use a transport ship. Liu Ji didn't have time to prepare, so he couldn't sneak in.”
"The Bao Xie Road takes the longest time to dig, has the largest scale, and is the easiest to walk. However, it has the longest distance and the most time. The enemy is alone and deep in. If we take this road, our rations will be tight, and it will be difficult to replenish them.”
"The Tangluo Road is the shortest and the fastest to enter Qin. However, it has only been opened for a short time. The mountain is extremely steep and it is not easy for the baggage to pass through. The risk of marching is very high and the possibility is very low.”
"I think the Meridian Path is the most likely.”
“……”
Ziying raised his own question." Compared to the other three roads, the Ziwu Road is not an official road. The road is also rugged and difficult to walk on. The difficulty is not inferior to the Luo Road. Why are you so sure that the enemy will choose this road?”
Zhang Liang did not speak.
Ying Lin explained,
"The key to a surprise army lies in the word 'strange'.”
"The essence of strangeness sometimes lies in the word gambling.”
" A truly outstanding commander will always take the enemy by surprise and launch an attack in the most seemingly impossible way.”
"The Ziwu Valley is less than a hundred miles away from Xianyang, but the battle ended in the shortest time possible. Because the official road is incomplete, there are few people passing through, so the defense of the pass is not strong. If I were Liu Ji, I would also use Ziwu Valley to attack Xianyang when I don't have enough food.”
Zhang Liang said," That's right. Your Majesty, you can divide your forces to defend Ziwu Pass and Du City. Not only can you effectively resist Ziwu Valley's surprise attack, but you can also buy time to defend Xianyang when you encounter other unexpected situations. It's a foolproof plan!"”
Ying Lin nodded.
Zhang Liang's analysis was very thorough.
The defense plan was almost perfect.
Planning in the tent, winning thousands of miles away.
This was the evaluation of Zhang Liang in the history books. He lived up to his reputation as the Sage of Conspiracy.
Fan Zeng's plan had yet to be implemented, but Zhang Liang had predicted every step, predicted all the variables, and gave a response plan at the same time. With such a counselor, it really saved a lot of effort.
The problem was…
Guanzhong is short of generals.
It would probably be difficult to set up a perfect defense.
Ying Lin took out the 5,000 soldiers of Sheng Pass.
In addition to the seven to eight thousand new recruits that had just been recruited recently.
A portion was placed at the Ziwu Pass to defend against Liu Bang's sneak attack.
The other part was placed in Du City, which was more than ten miles north of Ziwu Pass. If Ziwu Pass was broken through, or if there was a one in ten thousand chance that the enemy would come out through Baoxie Road or Tangluo Road, Du City would be able to react in time to buy time for Xianyang.
In the end.
Zhang Liang reminded again.
"Even if we can defend against the two surprise troops, Xiang Yu's main force will still be there.”
"When Fan Zeng learns that the two surprise troops have failed, he will definitely ask Xiang Yu to attack Hangu Pass at all costs.”
"Because of the difference in strength between the enemy and us, it is very difficult to defeat the main force led by Xiang Yu. We must find a way to deal with the biggest weakness of the alliance army. Only in this way can they be completely defeated.”
What was the greatest weakness of the rebel army? Food!
This point.
Ying Lin already had a countermeasure.
Zhang Liang could roughly guess.
The Qin soldiers did not have the ability to fight outside.
Therefore, if they wanted to get rid of Xiang Yu's provisions, they could only rely on the enemy's rear.
Judging from His Majesty's situation these few days, he must have a spy in the enemy's ranks.
As for how he did it, Zhang Liang did not know. Seeing that the Emperor was full of confidence, he did not ask much.
That night.
He found Lu Ren.
He gave several important tasks.
Feng Xuan's request to directly contact Zhang Han was approved.
Ying Lin also ordered the Black Ice Platform to focus on a few people.
For example, Han Xin.
For example, Chen Ping.
To be able to come into contact with these people.
He reported immediately.
…………
The next day.
Everything was ready.
Ying Lin personally led the emperor to attack.
He rode on the fat ball that he had not ridden for many days.
The giant panda was almost depressed from being cooped up in the palace all day.
Now that it could go out and fight, it was naturally very excited.
Ying Lin did not have many troops.
Only the Dragon Guards and the white horse followed.
Because there were too few people, the difficulty was quite high.
Ying Bu was not an ordinary general.
He was Xiang Yu's number one warrior!
The combat strength of the troops he led was extremely strong!
He had once defeated the Great Wall Army at the Julu battlefield!
Fortunately, Zheng He's warship was of great use in this battle. It had an unexpected effect.
Not long after.
Ying Lin arrived at the battlefield.
He looked at the vast Yellow River.
The river seemed calm, but it was actually turbulent.
The Emperor of Great Qin had personally gone to war, which meant that this war had entered a substantial stage of confrontation. It would quickly escalate, and Ying Lin wanted to see what other tricks Xiang Yu would play next!
Official confrontation.
It only started now!
