"At that time, our army will only need to defeat the Longxi Army that we have lured over.”
"Although we didn't wipe out the entire Longxi Army, we can at least deal them a heavy blow.”
Fang Xuanling stroked his beard.
"Right. If the Longxi Army believes the false news, they will only send out more troops because they will fight with the Sui Army.”
Zhangsun Wuji echoed.
Thus, if they destroyed the Longxi Army led by Xue Rengao, the enemy's overall strength would decline, laying the foundation for entering the Hexi Corridor.
"Does anyone have any objections?"
Cao Feng glanced at everyone.
"We have no objections."
Li Cunxiao and Li Jing expressed their opinions one after another.
"In that case, let's confirm this matter.”
Cao Feng immediately decided.
"Yes."
All the civil and military officials responded.
"If we want to ambush them in advance, we still need to determine the Longxi Army's route.”
Cao Feng narrowed his eyes.
"Duke Han, there are only two routes for the Longxi Army. One is from An Yi Pass, and the other is from Great Zhen Pass.”
Li Jing pointed at the map and said.
"From what I can see, the possibility of them choosing to go through An Yi Pass is very high.”
Li Jing rested his chin on his hand and thought for a moment before continuing.
"What do you mean?"
Li Cunxiao asked in confusion.
Fang Xuanling and Zhangsun Wuji scanned the map, seemingly having already guessed the reason for their earlier statement.
"Because An Yi Pass is relatively close to Chencang, and if they break in from An Yi Pass, it will be easier for them to cut into Chencang.”
Li Jing explained.
"That's right. Considering the distance and strategic significance, Anyi Pass is the best choice for the Longxi Army.”
Fang Xuanling agreed.
"Not bad."
Cao Feng replied indifferently.
"Duke Han, this subordinate has a plan."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhangsun Wuji said meaningfully.
"Speak."
Li Jing, who was about to speak, stopped. Cao Feng also signaled with his eyes for him to continue.
"Our army can give up Anyi Pass and allow the Longxi Army to enter. Our army can ambush them at Mount Coiling Dragon.”
"This place is the only place we must pass after passing through Anyi Pass. The terrain is high and there are many natural rolling stones.”
Zhangsun Wuji suggested.
"That's right, Brother Wuji has the same thoughts as us.”
Li Jing and Fang Xuanling also expressed their opinions.
"This subordinate agrees."
Li Cunxiao could already tell that this Coiling Dragon Mountain was the best place for an ambush.
"Alright, then let's give up Anyi Pass and wait for the Longxi Army at Mount Coiling Dragon.”
Cao Feng didn't hesitate anymore and decided on his plan.
"Yes."
The civil and military officials replied in unison.
'Ding…side quest released.'
"Ding…side quest. Defeat the Longxi Army led by Xue Rengao and open up a path into the Hexi Corridor.”
The system notifications rang out one after another.
"That's exactly what I want."
The corners of Cao Feng's mouth curled up slightly.
After the basic plan was determined, it was time to act according to the plan.
Fang Xuanling and the others first released the news that Fufeng County was being attacked by the Sui army. The situation was very serious, and Tang Bi and Li Hongzhi were almost unable to stop it.
Then, Li Jing led the Han soldiers and headed straight for Mount Panlong, arriving at the ambush site ahead of time.
Because the terrain around the Coiling Dragon Mountain was not suitable for cavalry to fight, they could only send out Han soldiers.
"Report!"
The news spread quickly, and within a few hours, it reached Longxi, where Xue Rengao was stationed.
"Ta Ta…"
At this moment, footsteps sounded.
"Young Master."
Soon after, Zong Luohou, who was helping the young master guard, jogged in.
"What is it?"
Seeing Zong Luohou come, Xue Rengao continued drinking.
"I heard that Fufeng County is being attacked by the Sui army. The battle between the two armies is very intense.”
Zong Luohou was panting.
It was very obvious. It wasn't hard to know that the first thing he did when he heard the news was to look for the young master.
"Really?"
Hearing this, Xue Rengao's eyes lit up.
"Really!"
Zong Luohou nodded heavily. This news had spread everywhere, so it shouldn't be fake.
"Haha, if that's the case, this is the best opportunity for our army to take down Fufeng County.”
Xue Rengao's eyes shone brightly. Yes, he was tempted.
Once they took down Fufeng County, they would have made a great contribution. This would not be good for the future development of Longxi Army.
His father would definitely be happy about this. In the future, Xue Rengao would naturally be put in an important position and even directly inherit his father's business.
"Young Master, what do you think?"
Zong Luohou noticed that the young master was thinking of something and asked.
"Needless to say, how can we let go of such a good opportunity?”
Xue Rengao immediately stood up.
When two tigers fought, one would be injured. Even if the Sui army won, they would not be strong.
Regardless of whether the two armies were still attacking or defending, or whether the outcome had already been decided, none of them had the energy to resist their attacks.
"Yes."
Zong Luohou replied excitedly.
"If we set off from Anyi Pass, we can reach Chencang faster by using this place, and we can also catch the enemy off guard.”
Xue Rengao squinted at the map and confirmed the route.
"Yes."
Zong Luohou replied.
"Mobilize 35,000 troops and prepare to go out.”
Xue Rengao continued.
"This…"
Zong Luohou was stunned.
The entire Longxi had only forty thousand soldiers, and ninety percent of them had been drawn out at once. This was indeed a bit too much.
"After all, we might have to fight the Sui army this time. We have to bring more troops to ensure that nothing goes wrong.”
Xue Rengao explained.
"This subordinate will obey."
Zong Luohou didn't hesitate.
With that, he turned and left, beginning to mobilize the troops of Longxi and Tianshui.
"Let's go!"
Xue Rengao also put on his armor to prepare for the expedition. After the army gathered, he directly gave the order to march.
The army marched towards Anyi Pass.
During the march, Xue Rengao was full of joy and his mood was extremely happy.
"If we take down Fufeng County this time, we can then take Daxing City.”
He thought happily in his heart. That was Daxing City, the ancient capital of a thousand years.
Daxing City was originally called Chang 'an and was indeed the capital of many dynasties.
"Hurry up."
Thinking of this, Xue Rengao couldn't help but urge.
The Longxi Army immediately sped up their march in order to reach Anyi Pass faster.
Longxi was not too far away from An Yi Pass, and the army quickly arrived.
At this moment, there were almost no soldiers defending Anyi Pass.
"Strange, why isn't there a heavy guard here?”
Zong Luohou was puzzled.
"What's so strange about that? Fufeng County is in a life-and-death situation, so Li Hongzhi will naturally mobilize all his troops.”
Xue Rengao did not think so.
"Young Master is right."
Zong Luohou thought that the young master's words made sense.
"Giddyup!"
Xue Rengao didn't say anything more and directly led the army into Anyi Pass.
After resting for a while at Anyi Pass, the army rushed towards Chencang without stopping.
