The huge temptation in front of him made Xu Sheng indeed a little moved.
But the caution in his heart reminded Xu Sheng that pie fell from the sky, but he was afraid that it would be either a trap or a trap.
"Tian Ji, you have been following General Wen Chang for a few years" This time it was Xu Sheng's turn to drink all the wine in the cup, and asked Tian Ji with a scrutinizing gaze.
Tian Ji suddenly looked annoyed, and asked rhetorically: "What does Xu Wenxiang mean Since General Wen Chang arrived in Jiangdong with His Majesty, Jinling was still a small county town called Moling at that time, and the last general served as the tun chief under Brother Wei, and I was much earlier than you and General Wen Chang."
Wei Yan got up and patted Tian Ji on the shoulder: "Brother doesn't have to be angry, Wen Xiang's character has always been cautious, and it doesn't hurt him to ask more."
After appeasing Tian Ji, Wei Yan turned to Xu Sheng and said, "Wen Xiang, Tian Ji has been with me for seven or eight years, and I was promoted from the head of the tun, and he is absolutely reliable."
This time the troops are out of the Yin Valley, and it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to attack Yecheng, it depends on whether Wen Xiang has the courage to do so."
Xu Sheng pinched his chin and groaned: "Your Majesty has repeatedly emphasized in the letter that the Tang army deliberately released the news of a sneak attack on Jinling, and its real intention was to attack Qingzhou, and strictly ordered us to form a unified corps with the Qingzhou county soldiers led by Lian Po and the Longju and Guo Huai who came to help to jointly resist the invasion of Tang Kou.
If you and I still send troops to attack Yecheng, I'm afraid that there will be suspicion of disobedience."
Wei Yan arched his hand and said: "There is a good saying, if you will not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarch, the battlefield will change rapidly, and the opportunity will be fleeting.
Cao Apu tried his best to attack Huainan last year, which caused Hebei to be empty, and a few days ago, Yue Fei was sent down Chen Liu and Xuchang, which made Cao Wei even confused.
And the path of Yin Valley is simply a great opportunity given to you and me by God, if you hesitate and miss the opportunity, it will be too late to regret it in the future."
"If we attack Yecheng, the Tang army will attack with all its might, but I am afraid that Qingzhou will not be protected" Xu Sheng clasped his arms in front of his chest, hesitating to send troops to attack Yecheng in Yin Valley.
Wei Yan sneered, and said with a slight complaint: "Isn't Your Majesty honest and honest, and even regard him as the reincarnation of a famous general of Zhao State, with Zheng Chenggong's 50,000 sailors, how can he carry the Tang army for a month and twenty days, and then the reinforcements of Long Ju and Guo Huai will enter Qingzhou." ” After a pause, Wei Yan continued to analyze: "What's more, as long as you and I take Yecheng and go straight to Cao Cao's lair, even if Qingzhou is lost, it will be more merit than fault." ” Xu Sheng still felt that it was inappropriate, shook his head and said: "If only the Tang army crosses the sea to attack, it will be fine, the Xiahou Yuan Corps has been stationed in the plains, eyeing Qingzhou.
As long as our army makes a slight move, the Cao army will definitely cross the river to attack, and it is still unknown whether it can take Yecheng, but there is a chance that Qingzhou will be lost.
Thinking about it, the last general felt that this was too risky."
Seeing that Xu Sheng had been singing the opposite, a touch of anger appeared on Wei Yan's face: "That's it, that's it, everyone has their own ambitions and can't be forced, since Xu Wenxiang doesn't dare to take risks and is willing to send people under the fence, then let's split up and use troops." ” "This general Wenchang, it's not that the last general is against you, it's really a matter of great importance, and there is no room for carelessness."
Seeing Wei Yan angry, Xu Sheng was also a little apologetic, but he still insisted on his position, "If General Wenchang has to give it a go, he can send a letter to Governor Li Jing, if the governor approves this plan, Xu Sheng is willing to send troops to Yin Valley with the general, although he will not give up."
Wei Yan took the case and reprimanded angrily: "I even violated the king's order, did I stupidly run to ask Li Jing Li Jing relied on breaking through the Tang capital and ascending to the throne, naturally I don't want anyone to repeat his trajectory, if Li Jing forcibly orders me to give up the plan to send troops to Yin Valley, wouldn't I lose this great opportunity in vain?"
Seeing Wei Yan turn his face, Xu Sheng could only sigh: "Maybe Xu Sheng is overly cautious, but I am sincere, all for the sake of the general, the people of Xuzhou, and the society of the Han Dynasty."
Wei Yan waved his hand and said: "Stop, the Tao is not the same, I am the main general, I will leave Licheng with 25,000 people overnight, go to Dong'a Youyin Valley to attack Yecheng, and leave 15,000 people to guard Qingzhou, it's not too much."
Xu Sheng once again admonished bitterly: "Even if General Wenchang can successfully approach the city of Yexian from the Yin Valley, but the current Yecheng is not what it used to be, it is the capital of Wei State, with the crown prince Cao Ang in charge, at least 20,000 troops are stationed, and the 25,000 soldiers and horses in the hands of the general can't take the city, if Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren return to the rescue, the general will fall into a heavy siege, and there is no possibility of success in using troops separately, please think twice."
Wei Yan sneered, and said with contempt: "You are greedy for life and afraid of death, don't make too many excuses if you don't have an enterprising heart, Cao Ang is just a child of anointing, he doesn't learn and has no skills, Cao Wei's army is exhausted, and the rest are old, weak, sick and disabled, even if there are 20,000, how can you be afraid of Han Xin's backwater formation in the past, and he can still break through the more than 200,000 Zhao army with 30,000 people, and I will attack the 20,000 old and weak defenders with 25,000 elite soldiers, and I will be able to break it with one drum and take Yecheng" Xu Sheng wanted to persuade again, but was pushed out of the conference hall by Tian Ji, Wang You and others: "Okay, you Xu Sheng, you have been growing up with other people's ambition to destroy your own prestige today, and you are just cowardly and afraid of death, but instead hinder others from making contributions, what are your intentions?"
Xu Sheng sighed helplessly, he could only leave with his sleeves flicked away, quickly returned to his residence, repaired the book and sent scouts to leave Licheng quickly, cross the Yellow River to Li Jing's camp in Zhangwu, Hebei, and inform Wei Yan of his plan to attack Yecheng from the Yin Valley, and ask Li Jing to make a decision.
In the evening, Wei Yan carefully selected 25,000 elite soldiers, ordered everyone to carry half a month's worth of dry food, traveled lightly, and left Licheng overnight to go west in the direction of Dong'e.
At this moment, Dong'e is at the junction of Han and Wei, and Jibei and Taishan counties east of Dong'e are included in the territory of the Eastern Han Dynasty, while Dongping and Dongjun to the west of Dong'e are under the control of Cao Wei.
Because of its location on the front line, small-scale wars have occurred from time to time, so most of the people have migrated elsewhere, and the fields in Dong'a are barren, the houses are abandoned, and the grass is half a man high, and the bones can often be seen on the roadside.
Wei Yan led his troops to leave Licheng, traveled day and night, and arrived at the bank of the Yellow River in the early morning of the next day.
Due to the dry weather this year, the width of the Yellow River in this area is only more than 300 zhang, and the shallowest water depth is only about 1 zhang.
Tian Jice galloped more than 20 miles upstream along the Yellow River to check the water potential, and then quickly returned and reported to Wei Yanyu: "General Qiyu, the water flow in the upper reaches is very stable, and the river can be crossed now." ” When Wei Yan left Licheng, he transported more than 30 small boats in a horse-drawn carriage, anyway, the river was only more than 300 zhang wide, and the team of 25,000 people could all cross the Yellow River in the middle of the night.
"Crossing the River" With Wei Yan's order, the soldiers of the Han army took advantage of the bright moonlight to lift more than 30 boats from the carriage and put them into the river, propping up the boats and starting to transport the soldiers to the opposite bank.
There are twenty or thirty people on one ship, and six or seven hundred people can be transported at one time.
The width of the river was only more than 300 zhang, and a round trip was only a cup of tea, and by the time the sky was bright, 25,000 Han troops had come to the north of the Yellow River safe and sound, and set foot on the territory of Cao Wei.
The Han army ate and drank enough in the reeds along the Yellow River, slept for two hours, and after the soldiers recovered their spirits, Wei Yan turned over his horse and ordered Tian Ji to lead the way in front of him, and went straight to the inaccessible valley.
An hour later, Tian Ji led the Han army to embark on this small road formed by the impact of the Yellow River's diversion, the river is about two zhang wide, and the reeds on both sides are thick, as high as more than one zhang.
The breeze blows, the reeds sway with the wind, like undulating waves, from time to time there is the sound of birds singing and apes, and the wind gusts, even if you are in the midst of thousands of troops, it will make people have goosebumps.
Feet are from the upper reaches of the Yellow River wrapped in the loess, fortunately this year in the north of the drought, the soil under the feet has been dry grinning, if in the rainy season, these loess sticky on the feet is difficult to shake off, and in this year of drought to avoid these headache troubles.
"Why is this road called Yin Valley" Wei Yan asked Tian Ji while riding his horse.
Tian Jizai immediately replied: "Back to the general's words, the riverbed of the Yellow River hangs high above the flat ground, and there is a small disaster every three or five years, and a major disaster every ten years.
The river is ruthless, or to the east or to the west, the river victims died under the flood countless people, after the river receded, this river accumulated a lot of white bones, so this road is full of yin qi, so it corresponds to the east of the Yang Valley, called the Yin Valley" Wei Yan looked around, and sure enough, he could see that there were bones on both sides of the valley road from time to time, although after the baptism of the years, they still maintained a state of struggle, which showed how fierce the flood was when it came.
Tian Ji rode his horse and whipped his horse, and walked side by side with Wei Yan: "General, this inaccessible trail starts from Dong'e in the east and reaches Wei County in the west, with a total length of more than 200 miles from east to west.
We have now cut into the valley road from a place of sixty miles, and we can reach Wei County about one hundred and forty or fifty miles to the west.
When we arrive in Wei County, there are only seventy or eighty miles left from Yecheng, and if everything goes well, it is expected that the army will be able to come to Yexian County in the evening of the day after tomorrow."
After listening to Tian Ji's introduction, Wei Yan couldn't help but feel excited, and laughed on the horse: "Soldiers, we are only more than two hundred miles away from Ye County, the capital of Wei at the moment, and everyone is working hard to take Yecheng."
Capture all Cao Wei's courtiers and Cao Apu's wives and children, and each will surely enjoy endless glory and wealth."

Under the encouragement of Wei Yan, the morale of the Han army was high, and if it had not been repeatedly asked not to make loud noises, they would have shouted in unison.
At the moment, one by one, his face flushed with excitement, and he accelerated his pace, as long as he won Yecheng, he could get a few acres of fertile land for a reward, if he was lucky enough to catch a few Cao Wei ministers, it would be a lifetime of endless glory and wealth t1706231537:
