No one dared to say anything. Fan Zigai also changed his face. He was secretly glad that Yang Xuangan didn't do this. But after thinking about it for a while, Fan Zigai said loudly: "This is impossible. Linyu Pass is far away from Dongdu."

It's so far away from Liyang, and it's impossible for Yang Xuangan's rebels to capture Linyu Pass!"

"If Fan stays behind, there are no absolutes in the world." Pei Hongce sneered and said: "Yang Xuangan's rebels fought from Liyang to Dongdu, and the team has grown to more than 50,000 people. If Yang Shun sent troops from Liyang to the north and arrived at Linyu Pass, from

How many rebellious people there are, can Fan Liusou dare to imagine?"

"Besides, if you ask Fan to stay behind, don't forget that all the elite troops from Jiyou have already entered the Liao Dynasty. No army can contain and block Yang Ni's march northward as effectively as the Dongdu army. Wang Bo, Sun Anzu, Gao Shida and Dou Jiande, etc.

The rebels are also entrenched on the northward march of Yang Xuangan's rebels and have never been wiped out. They are natural allies with Yang Ni. If they join forces with Yang Ni, how terrible the consequences will be. How can Fan Liubei dare to imagine it?"

There were gasps all over the hall, and everyone in the civil and military circles of Dongdu was dumbfounded. They never thought that Yang Xuangan could kill Emperor Sui Yang directly! Fan Zigai's old face was full of stubborn wrinkles, and his expression finally changed completely.

, I felt a little lucky in my heart, and said to myself: "Fortunately, fortunately the traitor Yang Xuangan didn't think of this! Otherwise, His Majesty would be worried!"

"We can't let Yang Ni go north!" Yang Tong, the king of Yue who was almost a puppet, spoke, and screamed in a child's voice with emotion: "We can't let Yang Ni cut off the emperor's food route back. Those barbarians from Turkic Goryeo will kill him\u72

2000

37 Master!”

"Your Highness, King of Yue, please rest assured." Fan Zigai hurriedly comforted Yang Tong: "I have already sent twelve messengers to take four different roads to Liaodong to warn the emperor. The emperor must be prepared after hearing the alarm.

Yang Xuangan's rebels have been attracted by us to the east capital city again. Even if they turn around and attack Linyu Pass, it will be too late."

"Fan stayed behind. I'm sorry to say that there are no absolutes in the world. If Yang Xuangan's rebels turn around now, it may not be too late." Pei Hongce said calmly: "The last military information we received from Liaodong is that His Majesty has personally led an army to invade Goguryeo and is approaching.

We don’t know the current war situation in the capital city of Goguryeo. Even if His Majesty receives the alarm, he will still encounter the situation of retreating from the battle.

There are dangers such as pursuit and harassment by soldiers and enemies. Suppose that Yang Xuangan's rebels secretly communicated with Goguryeo and asked Goguryeo Bangzi to use all their strength to contain and delay His Majesty's withdrawal. They even secretly colluded with the Turkic Khitan to let these foreign barbarians also contain His Majesty.

If Yang Ni turns around at the speed of the army’s retreat, not only will it be too late, but he may even have plenty of time!”

"If the traitor Yang Xuangan dares to do this, I will definitely kill all nine of his tribes!" Fan Zigai roared angrily, "No matter what the cost, we must contain Yang Ni under the walls of the Eastern Capital City to buy time for His Majesty's army to turn around before the battle!

"Yang Tong and all the civil and military officials of Dongdu all nodded their heads, unanimously deciding that Yang Xuangan's rebels must be contained now.

"Old man, you don't dare to force me to go out of the city to win the battle now, do you?" Pei Hongce sneered in his heart, and then said loudly: "Fan stayed behind, this is Yang Xuangan's traitor's best strategy, Yang Ni has a middle strategy, and he will do the same to him.

I, the Sui Dynasty, will do great harm to the world!"

"What is Yang Ni's strategy?" Fan Zigai asked quickly.

"Attack Daxing, hold Tongguan and defend, and share the world with me in the Sui Dynasty!" Pei Hongce said fiercely: "There are dangerous mountains and rivers in Guanzhong, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is connected to the Turks in the north and Gaochang in the west. If Yang Xuangan's rebels take advantage of the garrison in Guanzhong,

Not yet ready machine

Yes, he will attack Tongguan Daxing at full speed. Once he succeeds, it will be extremely difficult for our Sui army to recapture Guanzhong. Even if we finally recapture Guanzhong, we don’t know how much time it will take and how much money and food it will cost!

"

Glancing at Fan Zigai and his colleagues in the palace who were listening attentively, Pei Hongce added: "Perhaps Fan Liushou and all of you feel that the number of defenders in Guanzhong is three times that of Dongdu, and Yang Ni's attack on Guanzhong will not be as difficult as a sneak attack.

Linyu Pass is much easier, but I can tell you now, if you think so, you are totally wrong! Yang Niben's attack on Guanzhong was actually ten times easier than conquering Dongdu!"

"Why?" Fan Zigai asked quickly.

"Yang Ni has deep roots in Guanzhong." Pei Hongce replied: "Yang Xuangan inherited Yang Su's official title and also inherited Yang Su's position as head of the family. When Yang Su, the Duke of Chu, conquered the north and south, he unified the army in Guanzhong.

, in Guanzhong

There are countless old troops in the army. Once these people defect on the battlefield, the consequences will be disastrous! Moreover, Yang Xuangan's rebels are rushing to attack Guanzhong, and he can always collude with Turkic Gaochang as foreign aid, so the possibility of conquering Guanzhong will definitely increase!"

Looking at Fan Zigai and others with horrified faces, Pei Hongce said coldly: "Ten thousand steps back, even if Yang Xuangan's sneak attack on Guanzhong fails, as long as Yang Ni hits Tongguan, he will make me, Sui Hongnong, go to Luo."

Two counties and seven other counties were affected by the war.

, hundreds of thousands of people are in ruins! If Yang Ni invades Tongguan again, all parts of Guanzhong will be undefendable. How many Sui counties and counties will be affected by the war, and how many people in Guanzhong will be poisoned by the thieves?

Do you dare to imagine it?!"

After Pei Hongce finished speaking, the hall was completely silent again. Everyone was dumbfounded by Pei Hongce's bold guess and analysis. They did not dare to imagine the consequences of Yang Xuangan's rebels attacking Guanzhong. The sick Youwuwei General Huangfu

He simply stood up and said loudly: "Master Pei is right. The Yang family has deep roots in Guanzhong, and there are many old troops in the Guanzhong army. We must prevent Yang Ni from colluding with these old Yang Su troops to bring disaster to Guanzhong."

!”

"I think so too." Pei Hongce muttered in his heart, and then said loudly: "Yang Xuangan's traitor's next strategy is to attack the eastern capital city! Yang Ni's sudden rebellion can certainly be used as a pre-emptive strike.

21b2

The effect of people, but if he wants to continue to grow, he must feed war with war, continue to attack, and continue to grow his troops! Attacking a strong city like Dongdu head-on when the army first rises is the worst of the worst!"

"My lords, please think about it. If we hold on to the city of Dongdu and contain Yang Ni's rebels under the city, what will be the effect?" Pei Hongce continued to confuse: "First of all, the war only affects one part of Dongdu.

It will not spread and harm more people in counties and counties!"

"Second point, the Eastern Capital is at the foot of the world, the most virtuous area. There is no treacherous bandit around who can respond to Yang Ni's rebellion, which puts Yang Ni into the dilemma of fighting alone!"

"The third point is that the Eastern Capital is the convergence of water and land roads in the world. As long as we contain Yang Ni for a period of time, the soldiers of King Qin from all over the country will arrive in an endless stream and surround Yang Ni heavily.

It’s hard to escape with wings against your back! By then, our Eastern Capital defenders will attack from inside and outside with the reinforcements, and defeat the rebels. Wouldn’t it be easy?”

Looking at Fan Zigai and others who had been fooled, Master Pei Hongce had a solemn expression and said loudly: "So, I am willing to lead the army out of the city to fight against the rebels, but for the sake of our family, country, and the world, for the sake of the great

The Sui Dynasty's eternal plan, Xiaguan's battle can only be defeated again, never won! Because once Xiaguan wins, Yang Xuangan's rebels will find it difficult to capture the Eastern Capital, so they are likely to turn around and go away, and they will attack me in the Sui Dynasty.

Jiangshan will cause more harm!"

Speaking of this, Pei Hongce sighed and said: "Although I don't understand why the traitor Yang Xuangan had water in his head and came to attack Jiancheng, the eastern capital, in the early stages of the rebellion? But in order to make this traitor make mistakes again and again

Go down, in order to prevent the rebellion of this traitor from continuing to expand, and for the sake of the family and the country of the Sui Dynasty, Xiaguan is willing to sacrifice his own reputation and be defeated again in front of Yang Ni, making Yang Ni feel that the Eastern Capital can be defeated.

Keep making mistakes!"

After saying his heartfelt words with a solemn face, Pei Hongce knelt down on one knee to Fan Zigai, cupped his hands and said: "Fan Liu is here, please give the order to send out troops. I don't want 3,000 troops, just give me 1,000 old and weak soldiers. Anyway, I'm here."

The officer is preparing to be defeated, so it would be better to sacrifice less precious lives of some soldiers."

Pei Hongce has already spoken to this point. Will Fan Zigai force Pei Hongce to go out of the city to fight? Officials from Dongdu who had previously opposed leaving the city to fight also advised him: "Sir, Lord Pei is right.

Ah, the most important thing we should do right now is to contain Yang Xuangan’s rebels, prevent them from running into chaos, buy time for the army to return to reinforcements, and avoid going out to fight in the city and sacrificing the lives of soldiers in vain. It is better to hold on to the city.”

"Master Fan, please think twice." Huangfu Wuyi, the only person who could influence Fan Zigai's decision-making, also said: "Master Pei's strategic analysis is reasonable and reasonable. Our most correct approach now should be to contain the Yang rebels and suppress the Yang rebels.

If you drag yourself into a siege and fight hard, there is no need to leave the city to fight. If you lose, your soldiers will be sacrificed in vain. If you win, the consequences will be even more unpredictable."

After being successfully deceived by Chen Yingliang last time, Fan Zigai lowered his arrogant white head for the second time, nodded, and said: "That makes sense. We can't go out of the city to fight. We can only hold on to the city and contain Yang Ni's rebels first.

.”

After finally changing his stubborn mind, Fan Zigai thought for a moment and told Pei Hongce: "Master Pei, you don't have to leave the city. Let's do this. General Huangfu is not in good health, so you can supervise the most important Shangchun Gate on his behalf."

, but remember, the city gate is as long as the people are there, but the city gate is lost..."

"I will cut myself to apologize!" Pei Hongce replied loudly - defending the city is much easier than fighting in the field.

Fan Zigai nodded, waved his hand and said, "Go ahead. From now on, I will provide you with food and accommodation at Shangchunmen. Also, in the future, you will have to express more opinions on the military. Your analysis is very reasonable."

Under the admiring eyes of his colleagues, he walked out of the imperial city as if he had won a great victory. As soon as he came out of Duanmen, the first thing he saw was his newly acquired nephew Chen Yingliang waiting outside the door to greet him. Pei Hongce's

The smile on his face will inevitably become even happier, stop

Chen Yingliang stopped and knelt down to salute, took his nephew's hand and said with a smile: "My dear nephew, you are really a treasure gifted by God to my uncle! Come on, follow your uncle to Shangchunmen. If you have any good ideas or strategies in the future, I will definitely tell you."
