This time, Li Hongyun did not respond immediately.
Because he knew that a very important historical IF line was now laid before him.
The man who appeared to be a strategist was named Ling Jing, and his words were indeed recorded in the historical texts.
At that time, when Dou Jiande's army arrived at Hulaoguan Pass, they saw that the pass was treacherous and easy to defend but hard to attack, difficult to take in haste. This was when Ling Jing offered such a strategy.
The strategy, simply put, was to give up attacking Hulaoguan Pass and instead take one of the eight Taihang paths, Zhi Pass, to launch an attack on River East.
Then, use River East as a springboard to attack Guanzhong, and even press on toward Chang'an.
This tactic had quite the style of encircling Wei to save Zhao.
In later generations, many lamented this, believing that Dou Jiande lost the opportunity to vie for supremacy because he did not heed Ling Jing's strategy.
