Chapter 1171 Qin State Ancient Road
Huangfu Chaobo did not stay in Ye County for too long. The next day, he began his inspection in Wei County under the protection of Zhao Yun's 10,000 white horse followers.
The defense of Wei County is mainly in Wei County, Kuiqiu and Handan. Among them, Long Xiang's deputy general Zuo Xiao led a school of soldiers to guard Handan, while another deputy general Geng Wu led a school of soldiers to guard Wei County. These two This important town, together with Chuqiu between the two cities and Ye County behind it, formed a tight defense line.
The defenses of Wei County and Handan have been continuously strengthened over the years, so Huangfu Chaobo's inspection did not stop too much in these two cities, but left after a brief look.
Then the army went to Fukou Pass and the newly built Wuzhishan Pass in Sheguo. Today, Wuzhishan Pass has become a medium-sized pass. Standing on the pass tower, Huangfu Chaobo looked far into the distance. A winding mountain road continued in the valley. It extended to the mountains to the west. On the mountain road, there were only a few small caravans walking.
"Your Majesty, is this path the Fukouxing of the Eight Paths of Taihang?" Pang Tong stood next to Huangfu Chaobo and asked;
"Yes, this is Fukouxing, one of the Eight Lines of Taihang. From here to the west, you can reach Lu County in Shangdang." Huangfu Chaobo replied directly without looking back;
"Shangdang," Pang Tong murmured to himself: "Shangdang, does General Zilong know what the situation of Zhao's army to the west is now?"
"I have been sending people to Shangdang to investigate intelligence. After our army's Wuzhishan Pass was completed, Zhao Jun also began to renovate Dongyang Pass and blocked the exit to the west of Fukouxing. Dongyang Pass is less than fifty miles west of Wuzhishan Pass. It is also a medium-sized pass. According to the intelligence sent back, Zhao Jun sent 5,000 troops to garrison it. If the military advisor wants to attack Shangdang through Fukouxing, it will be very difficult," Zhao Yun answered seriously;
"Hey, that's what I said. It's more difficult to attack Zhao than Qin. Although there is Taihang Bajing, the other ends of Taihang and Baixing are blocked by the Zhao army. How can it be so easy to attack Zhao? "Pang Tong said with a smile; "On the east side of Hedong, the Zhao army has established a pass in Queshu Valley, which has also blocked the way for the army to go north. It will not be easy to invade Zhao!"
"If it was so easy, how could there be such a difficult battle at Changping between Qin and Zhao?..." Huangfu Chaobo said with a smile;
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Huangfu Chaobo's mind, but when he wanted to grasp the idea, he found that he couldn't remember what it was!
"The Battle of Changping?!" Pang Tong muttered;
"Huh?! The Battle of Changping! Bang..." Pang Tong suddenly struck with both palms: "That's right, it's the Battle of Changping. Since the Qin State was able to send troops from Hedong to launch the Battle of Changping, then why is the battle in Hedong now Can't the troops follow the route of Qin and attack Shangdang directly from Hedong? "
The rest of the people were also awakened by Pang Tong's words. Zhao Yun said: "Yes, we can definitely follow the route that the Qin army used to enter Shangdang, sneak into Shangdang territory, and catch Zhao State by surprise. However, after Changping, Hundreds of years have passed since the war. I wonder if the Qin Dao of that year can still be found? "
"Also, with Chen Gong's wisdom, it is impossible not to be on guard against Hedong. Chen Gong must be familiar with the battle of Changping, and Zhao should also be on guard against this."
"It doesn't matter, no matter what, you have to give it a try, come on," Huangfu Chaobo said decisively;
"Your Majesty!" A personal guard came in immediately.
"Immediately send an order to Hedong, ordering them to send people to find out this route immediately. Isn't Yang Feng in Hedong? They came out from Bai Bo's army.
There must be people who are familiar with this place. Let them send people to help. If they can really find this ancient road, they will have done a great job. "
The personal guard bowed and agreed, then turned and left the Guan Tower, went to the Shadow Guard garrison in the Guan, and gave orders to Hedong.
Huangfu Chaobo was inadvertently discovered a way to attack the State of Zhao. Although the feasibility of this way was only speculation, Huangfu Chaobo was very happy. You must know that several roads in the Kingdom of Tang and Zhao were blocked by dangerous passes, and the ancient Qin road from Hedong to Shangdang has been rarely mentioned by people for hundreds of years since the Han Dynasty. This means that this This road is likely to be ignored by Zhao Guo, so this is an opportunity for him.
Of course, even if Zhao Guo did not notice this road, it would not be easy to find hundreds of abandoned roads. However, since the Qin army could use it hundreds of years ago, then Huangfu Chaobo I have the confidence to let my army pass through here.
However, even if this ancient Qin road can be used, it will not be possible to launch an attack on Zhao in a short time. The time and place are favorable and the people are in the right place. If you only occupy the right place, the chance of success is too small. As a last resort, Huangfu Chaobo would not start a war so easily.
Zhao State is not strong, but it is relatively speaking. You must know that King Zhao Lu Bu is the best general in the world, and Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry is one of the few special units among the cavalry. Coupled with generals like Zhang Liao, Zhao State's The combat power is actually very strong, but the internal affairs are relatively poor, so the overall strength is weak. Although it is not as good as the Tang, Wei and Qi countries, it is comparable to the Wu and Yan countries, and is still a bit stronger than the Qin and Shu countries.
Therefore, Huangfu Chaobo will not easily go to war with Zhao before he is relatively sure. Of course, if the Qin Ancient Road is really available, then the Tang Army will definitely make a fuss about it.
After leaving Wuzhishan Pass, Huangfu Chaobo did not stay in Weijun for long, but went to Henei under the escort of Xianzhen Camp. Zhao Yun's Baima Yicong had all arrived, but the special forces of the other generals were still being selected and recruited, and Hua Xiong's Xiliang Iron Cavalry was an important force for the Tang army to advance westward into Guanzhong, so Huangfu Chaobo had to pay attention to him.
On March 8, Huangfu Chaobo and his party finally arrived at Huai County, the seat of Henei. When Huangfu Chaobo appeared in front of the Huai County prefectural government, Henei prefect Shu Shao and others were also shocked.
As the highest-ranking official among Yuan Yao's people who joined the Tang Kingdom, Shu Shao has fully adapted to the position of Henei prefect of the Tang Kingdom. During the period of taking over the post of Henei prefect, he quickly handled the government affairs of Henei properly.
"Your Majesty, a son of a rich family should not sit in the hall. How can Your Majesty inspect the counties with only a thousand guards? What if..." Shu Shao persuaded Huangfu Chaobo earnestly.
"Don't worry, Governor Shu. Although there are only a thousand people in the Xianzhen Camp, they are all capable of fighting ten enemies. When the Xianzhen Camp was just formed, Governor Shu witnessed it with his own eyes. Besides, I am inspecting the counties, not entering or leaving the enemy country. Is there any place in the territory of my Tang Kingdom that can gather tens of thousands of people?" Huangfu Chaobo said with a smile;
