- Chapter 373: Kill you by surprise
Danshui originates from Guanzhong, passes through Shangluo, Shangxian and Wuguan, enters Nanyang, passes through Danshui and Shunyang counties, and meets the Hanshui River in Junxian County. . .
When Cao Cao raided Nanyang, he also claimed to take this route and pretended to attack Xiangyang.
The attack on Wuguan coincided with the previous military meeting, and Tian Feng proposed the strategy to Yan Liang.
The reason why the former Fan Xiliang Army and Cao Army were able to successfully enter the Nanyang Basin many times was because Wuguan was always in their hands.
Now that Cao Cao has conquered Xiliang, it is a foregone conclusion. After taking over the two states of Yongliang, Cao Cao's strength will be greatly increased. At that time, his threat to Yan Liang will also increase dramatically.
At this time, Yan Liang had already decided on the strategy of destroying Wu, and was temporarily unable to fight Cao Cao.
With Cao Cao's heroic strategy, it is entirely possible to take advantage of Yan Liang's army to attack Wu and use Wuguan troops to enter Nanyang again.
Therefore, in order to completely eliminate the threat to Nanyang, Tian Feng suggested that Yan Liang take advantage of Cao Cao's army in Liangzhou to raid Wuguan and completely control the north gate of Nanyang Basin in his own hands.
If Wuguan is obtained, Yan Liang will be able to ensure the safety of Nanyang without much troops due to the danger of the pass, which means that the threat from Cao Cao will be reduced sharply.
Of course, Cao Cao was not stupid. When Nanyang was defeated and retreated to Guanzhong, he left Cao Hong with three thousand troops to garrison Wuguan.
A month ago, when Cao Cao heard that Yan Liang had withdrawn from the Central Plains, in order to prevent Yan Liang from taking the opportunity to attack Guanzhong, he transferred 8,000 troops from the Xiliang front line and returned to Chang'an City.
This means that if Yan Liang brazenly attacks Wuguan, Cao Hong's ability and the danger of Wuguan, with three thousand soldiers and horses, will be enough to block Yan Liang's first wave of fierce attacks.
As long as Yan Liang is blocked for a few days, Xiahou Cun, who is staying in Chang'an, will quickly send reinforcements to Wuguan. Cao Cao on the Xiliang front line will also quickly receive the news that Wuguan is attacked and lead his troops to return reinforcements in time.
Tian Feng proposed a general strategy for capturing Wuguan, but could not come up with a specific strategy on how to capture it. At this time, Xu Shu, who was good at military planning, was not around, so Yan Liang could only rely on Jia Xu.
Jia Xu did not live up to his expectations, so he immediately came up with this plan to attack three counties openly and secretly attack Wuguan.
In order to ensure the confidentiality of the plan, no one else knew the truth except Yan Liang and Jia Xu.
Prior to this, more than ten thousand soldiers, including Huang Zhong, and the soldiers and civilians of Jingzhou were all angry at the disobedience of the three Shangyong counties. Everyone thought that their lord led the army to go to the three counties. .
At this moment, when Jia Xu revealed Yan Liang's intention, the tiger of Changsha suddenly realized it.
"My lord, this plan is really"
Huang Zhong was so excited that he didn't know how to describe the shock in his heart.
Unconsciously, Huang Zhong's excited face revealed a bit of shame.
He was feeling ashamed because he had misunderstood Yan Liang before, mistakenly believing that his lord was arrogant because of victory, and had become blind and arrogant.
"I should have known earlier that my lord is the kind of person who becomes arrogant after a few victories. He will eventually fail to understand his thoughts. I am really ashamed of myself."
Huang Zhong sighed and apologized to Yan Liang.
Yan Liang is so generous. He didn't blame Huang Zhong before. Now that the truth is revealed, he won't blame him anymore.
He just laughed and said, "Old General, your loyal words and advice are all for my great cause. I am too late to be happy, so how can I blame you? However, Old General, if you really feel ashamed, then use force for me." Take it down as an apology to the general."
Seeing Yan Liang¡¯s magnanimity, Huang Zhong felt both admiration and excitement.
At that moment, Huang Zhong also smiled boldly, "My lord, please relax. I will show you my ability, Huang Hansheng, in attacking a city and building a stronghold."
Huang Zhong is good at fighting in the mountains, and good at attacking is his strength. This is also the most important reason why Yan Liang uses Huang Zhong as the vanguard in this expedition.
Seeing that Huang Zhong was full of pride and confidence, Yan Liang was even more confident.
That night, Yan Liang ordered the army to break camp and set off, taking the waterway north along Danshui at starry night and heading straight for Wuguan.
After more than 10,000 soldiers had eaten their fill, they originally thought they would rest for one night in Junxian County and then take a leisurely boat march tomorrow morning.
Who would have thought that as soon as they lay down, before they even had time to close their eyes, the order to break camp had already been conveyed.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the way, the officers and soldiers of the Yan Family Army, who have the qualities of an iron army, did not hesitate at all and immediately packed up and set off.
But after boarding the ship, more than ten thousand soldiers were surprised to find that his warship did not go westward along the Han River, but turned northward along the Dan River.
"Weren't we going to attack Shangyong County? Why did we go north instead of Danshui?"
More than ten thousand soldiers all harbored such suspicions, but no one explained to them.
In the next few days, Yan Liang also changed his pace of marching like a sightseeing tour. More than a hundred warships moved northward at full speed without stopping. All the food, drink and diarrhea of ??the soldiers of the three armies were taken care of on the ships. Along the way, they passed Shunyang, None of the Danshui counties stopped for even a quarter of an hour.
Three days later, the fleet crossed Danshui distance, and the vanguard was no more than fifty miles away from Wuguan.
The terrain of Danshui is already at the extension of the eastern end of the Qinling Mountains. The terrain is gradually rising, and the water is becoming more rapid and dangerous, making it no longer suitable for boating.
Therefore, Yan Liang ordered the entire army to abandon the ship and land ashore, and continued to march toward Wuguan in the northwest at a rapid march.
It was not until this time that the soldiers of the three armies, who had been confused for several days, understood their lord's true combat intention.
??????????????????????????????????It turns out that Yan Liang's grandiose claims in the past few days that he will attack Shangyong Three Counties were all based on suspicion, and the real purpose was to surprise Wuguan.
The doubts were all scattered, and the 10,000 Yan family army was healthy.
Previously, Cao Cao invaded Nanyang for no reason. Although the Jingzhou athletes, led by Yan Liang, defeated Cao's invasion, every soldier still harbored deep hatred for the enemy's invasion.
Now, it was finally their turn to launch a counterattack on Cao Jun's territory. How could the flames of revenge not burn wildly in the hearts of the soldiers.
With the excitement of blood, all the ten thousand generals were in high spirits, following their lord Yan Liang, and ran all the way towards Wuguan.
In addition to the main road, there are several small roads leading from Danshui to Wuguan.
In order to make a surprise attack on Cao Jun, Yan Liang, in addition to the previous trick of confusing the enemy, approached Wuguan at this time, and also deliberately chose a small road to avoid being detected by Cao Jun's reconnaissance cavalry on the road.
The path was much more rugged and difficult to navigate than the main road. Although the soldiers only carried three days of food and grass and traveled lightly, in order to attack the city, Yan Liang had to carry a large number of siege equipment such as ladders. These heavy equipment required the soldiers to Carry.
Even so, the 10,000 athletes were all high-spirited, sweating profusely, and out of breath from exhaustion, but no one complained.
After a day of marching on mountain roads, Yan Liang and his army finally saw Wuguan City in the evening.
On the hillside of Prancing Horse, Yan Liang, who was covered in sweat, looked up into the distance, but he saw that a few miles away, the majestic pass was bathing in the golden sunset.
The South Gate of Guanzhong, the Guancheng that Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, passed through when he defeated the Qin Dynasty, is now right in front of us.
On the road in front of Guancheng, caravans in twos and threes are still rushing to Wuguan, trying to cross the border before dark for retreat.
Although Cao Cao and Yan Liang are now in a state of semi-war, they both turn a blind eye to the private business transactions in each other's jurisdiction and adopt a policy of acquiescence.
Seeing that the caravans were coming and going as usual on the avenue, this meant that the defenders in Wuguan City were not aware of the incoming army and were prepared in advance. Yan Liang could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Now it seems that the troublesome strategy of attacking from east to west and the hard work of marching over mountains and ridges were finally in vain.
Behind them, the soldiers who were climbing up the hillside one after another saw the lax defense of Wuguan City. Their sweat-soaked faces were burning with excitement and murderous intent.
"Where is Huang Hansheng?" Yan Liang shouted sharply.
"The general is here." Huang Zhong responded with emotion as he rode forward.
Yan Liang pointed his sword and said loudly: "I order you to lead 7,000 vanguards and march directly to Wuguan. You must not retreat even half a step until the city is breached!"
Huang Zhong clasped his fists and said boldly: "Don't worry, my lord, if you don't break the martial arts pass, I will come to see you in the end."
After speaking with emotion, Huang Zhong turned his horse around and shouted to the soldiers behind him: Brothers, Wuguan is just ahead. If you are a man, go with me to kill the general and capture this pass for our lord - "
With loud shouts, Huang Zhong picked up his horse sword and rushed down the hillside.
Thousands of Yan family athletes, like beasts out of their cages, waved their weapons, carried ladders, and surged down.
Yan Liang looked at Wuguan from afar, and then looked at his own soldiers charging down all over the mountains and plains. A look of pride burned wildly on his sweat-stained face.
¡¡
Wuguan City.
In the lobby of the military mansion, there was a song?Shengping.
General Cao Hong, the Protector General, was playing with the jade cup in his hand, sipping fine wine and enjoying the singing and dancing of the dancers in front of the hall.
The generals present on the left and right were all drinking and having fun, living a leisurely and happy life.
But only Yilang Zhao Yan had a gloomy face, full of anxiety.
"General Zilian, this Wuguan is the southern gate that guards the central pass and resists Yan's army. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the general to have wine and dance here."
Zhao Yan couldn't help but said.
Cao Hong showed a bit of displeasure, and said with a flat mouth: "The imperial court sent Mr. Zhao to come for inspection. The general thought that Mr. Zhao had a hard journey, so he set up a small singing and dancing banquet to express his condolences. What Mr. Zhao said was a bit chilling. ¡±
Zhao Yan coughed a few times, cupped his hands and said, "This trip is for official business, so why dare you say it's hard work?" Yan just thought that recently he heard that Yan Liang had sent troops from Xiangyang, but the general seemed not to be vigilant here, so Yan just thought Somewhat worried.¡±
"Master Zhao is overly worried. My general's detailed operations have been proven. Yan Liang is leading his army to attack the three counties of Shangyong and has no intention of threatening Wuguan." Cao Hong said disapprovingly.
Zhao Yan¡¯s eyebrows softened a little, but he added: ¡°Even so, Yan Liang¡¯s tactics are very unpredictable, so please be careful, General Zi Lian.¡±
Cao Hong laughed and raised his glass: "Mr. Zhao, you are too cautious. Don't think so much. Have a few drinks with me."
Cao Hong raised the jade cup, waiting for the wine to pour into his throat.
At this moment, a pro-soldier rushed into the hall with a hurried look and shouted: "General Qi, something bad has happened. Yan Jun suddenly attacked the key!"
??????????????????????
The jade cup in Cao Hong's hand fell from his hand and shattered into pieces instantly. (To be continued. - Didn't finish reading?
