- Yan Liang, raid Wuguan!
This news suddenly shocked Xiahou Dun and Xun Yu, the two pillars of the Cao family.
Although Xun Yu expected that Yan Liang might pretend to attack Shangyong Sanjun and actually attack Wuguan, he did not expect that Yan Liang's movements would be so fast, far beyond his own reaction speed.
After Xiahou Dun was shocked, he quickly regained his composure, "As expected, Wen Ruo was right about the matter. I didn't expect Yan Liang, a thief, to be so insidious and cunning. However, there are three thousand soldiers in Wuguan, and the city is dangerous, and With Zi Lian in charge, even if Yan Liang makes a surprise attack, he may not be able to win Wuguan."
Xiahou Dun seems to have great confidence in Cao Hong, the Cao brother.
"Although Zi Lian is brave, his character is a bit frivolous. Yesterday I received a letter from Zhao Yilang, reporting that Zi Lian had cultivated many dancers in Guancheng. I was afraid that Yan Liang would take advantage of him if he neglected to take precautions. ¡±
Unlike Xiahou Dun, Xun Yu showed considerable concern.
Xun Yu discussed the matter, and his evaluation of Cao Hong was quite ruthless. Xiahou Dun couldn't help but show displeasure when he heard Xun Yu say this about Cao Hong.
"Although Zilian has some flaws, he has experienced many battles and is both wise and brave. Wen Ruo's evaluation seems to be a little too underestimated." Xiahou Dun said.
"A thousand-mile embankment collapses in an ant nest. I'm afraid that Zi Lian's slight flaws will eventually turn into a big loss. After all, what he faces is not an enemy, but Yan Liang."
Xun Yu knew that Xiahou Dun was not happy to see him speak ill of Cao Hong, but he discussed the matter as it happened and still spoke out.
Xiahou Dun frowned, and his face became a little scary due to the loss of one eye, which became even more ferocious.
"Wen Ruo, I think you have"
When Xiahou Dun was about to defend Cao Hong, another new army hurried out.
"General, urgent news came from Shang County. Yan Liang's army captured Wuguan the day before yesterday. General Cao Zilian and Zhao Yilang were both captured by Yan Liang."
This is bad news. Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Xiahou Dun's face was instantly shocked.
He couldn¡¯t believe that one second he was trying his best to defend Cao Hong, and the next second, his Cao brother lost the south gate of Guanzhong. And he also became Yan Liang's prisoner.
Xiahou Dun¡¯s heart. It was like being hit hard by a heavy hammer, and I almost couldn't lift it up in one breath.
After being shocked, Xiahou Dun couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. He didn't dare to look Xun Yu in the face, so he just shouted and asked for details.
The pro-army then handed over the urgent report from Shang County, and reported in a trembling voice how Yan Liang defeated Wuguan as reported by the scouts.
I have read the detailed emergency report and listened to the pro-military narrative. Xun Yu couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that Yan Liang was not only cunning and cunning, but his army's ability to attack the city was also so strong. However, if Zi Lian had been more vigilant, he would not have lost the city so easily."
In Xun Yu's tone, he secretly complained about Cao Hong.
Xiahou Dun at this time. Naturally, he could no longer protect Cao Hong, but he became angry with shame, and his already ferocious expression became even more horrifyingly distorted.
Snapped!
With a violent slap on the case, Xiahou Dun jumped up and said angrily: "Yan Liang, the dog thief, dared to take advantage of the prime minister's expedition to attack me in Guancheng. It is really too much to bully people. Wen Ruo, you stay in Chang'an, I will lead the army immediately Go and take back Wuguan."
You can hear this. Xun Yu's expression suddenly changed, and a hint of worry suddenly appeared on his face.
He hurriedly said: "Since Yan Liang has conquered Wuguan, he has all the convenient land. Now there are not many soldiers and horses in Chang'an. Even if the general leads his army, he may not be able to recapture Wuguan with his existing troops. For the current plan, Why not send more troops to Shang County first, and then send people on flying horses to Liangzhou to report to the Prime Minister."
"Since Yan Liang has won Wuguan, what should he do if his subsequent army of Wuguan continues to enter the pass? No, I must take Wuguan back first." Xiahou Dun was in a hurry.
Xun Yu, however, had a calm face and said calmly: "Although Yan Liang has won Wuguan, if he wants to enter the Guanzhong Plain, he still needs to go through Shang County, Shangluo and Lantian counties. These three counties are all in dangerous terrain. With us, The current strength of the army is enough to resist even if Yan Liang leads the entire country. I think Yan Liang must know this first. Therefore, as I expected, Yan Liang sent troops this time just to get Wuguan and there was no attack. Guanzhong¡¯s intention.¡±
Although Xun Yu was very thorough in his analysis, Xiahou Dun was disturbed by the news that Cao Hong had been captured. He could not listen to a word of Xun Yu's analysis.
??We must also take back Wuguan, and we must not hinder the prime minister's plan to wipe out Liangzhou. "
At that moment, Xiahou Dun no longer hesitated and immediately ordered the mobilization of troops and horses, and he personally led them to attack Wuguan.
During Cao Cao's Western Expedition, Xiahou Dun had nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses left. The previous campaign had brought back 8,000 soldiers and horses from the front line, so Xiahou Dun had nearly 18,000 available troops.
Of the nearly 20,000 troops and horses, 3,000 were stationed at Tongguan, 2,000 at Pubanjin, and 3,000 at Wuguan. There were nearly 10,000 mobile troops left in Chang'an City.
Xiahou Dun left only two thousand soldiers and horses to guard Chang'an, and led eight thousand cavalry. He left the south of the city that day and rushed towards Wuguan.
? ######
Wuguan, Beicheng.
Yan Liang slowly walked along the line of the city wall, inspecting his soldiers to reinforce the city defense.
The role of Wuguan is mainly to defend Guanzhong against the threat from Nanyang. Therefore, the height and thickness of the walls of the North City are inferior to those of the South City.
In order to cope with the possible large-scale attack by Cao Jun in the near future, Yan Liang naturally had to seize the time to reinforce Beicheng.
"Lord, instead of reinforcing the city wall here, why don't we mobilize more reinforcements, assemble the army and rush into Guanzhong in one go, seizing the Chang'an city." Huang Zhong, who was following him, added.
Yan Liang only smiled faintly, "It's still hundreds of miles away from Wuguan to Chang'an City, and the terrain is quite rugged. Cao Jun only needs to deploy thousands of troops in Shang County, Shangluo, or Lantian, and our army can mobilize all its troops. We may not be able to break through it in a short time, and if we don't fight until Cao Cao leads the main force to come back for reinforcements, then we will face a decisive battle with Cao Cao. With his back to Chang'an and waiting for work, wouldn't we be completely behind? wind."
Yan Liang spoke eloquently, and soon Huang Zhong pointed it out.
Huang Zhong couldn't help but raise his hands and praise: "My lord is far-sighted and far-sighted. It is really beyond the reach of the general."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of scouts came in from the north, and a scout captain ran up to the top of the city and arrived in front of Yan Liang.
"My lord, Xiahou Dun led eight thousand cavalry and rode southward at starry night. The vanguard has passed Shang County and is heading towards Wuguan to kill."
Hearing that Xiahou Dun led his army to kill, the generals on the left and right changed their colors slightly.
Yan Liang was calm and composed, and only sneered: "Xiahou Dun served in the rear for Cao Cao. He has made no mistakes for many years. Now that he has lost Wuguan and damaged Cao Hong, he is furious."
At this time, Huang Zhong stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said with emotion: "My lord, since the enemy thieves dare to come, I will lead an army to attack. I will cut off the head of Xiahou Dun and offer it to my lord."
Huang Zhong was on a winning streak, his self-confidence had reached the highest level in his life, and he looked down upon Xiahou Dun.
Yan Liang, however, always kept a cool head. He did not get carried away by the victory because of his surprise attack on Wuguan.
"Xiahou Dun has extraordinary martial arts skills and is quite capable of using troops, which should not be underestimated. Moreover, our army is only going to seize Wuguan in this campaign. It goes against the purpose of this campaign to engage the enemy in close combat. The old general will accept this confidence and wait for the future. Wu Zhishi, it is never too late to work hard."
Hearing Yan Liang's calm words, Huang Zhong immediately restrained his fighting spirit, but said: "If our army does not take the initiative to attack, Cao's army will definitely attack the city with all its strength. The walls of the North City are short and thin. If we guard them, I¡¯m afraid it will be a fierce battle.¡±
"Don't worry, old general, I have a clever plan." A sly smile quietly appeared on the corner of Yan Liang's mouth.
So Yan Liang ordered the entire army to stand still, and only urged the soldiers to build the city wall day and night, waiting for Cao's army to attack.
¡¡
The next day, at dusk.
The setting sun shines in the west, coating the ancient city wall of Wuguan with a gentle golden edge.
Yan Liang stood at the top of the city with a long sword in his arms, looking far into the distance.
As far as the eye can see, billowing dust mist, like a sandstorm, is rolling in along the east bank of Danshui towards the North City of Wuguan. In the dust mist, flying flags and surging figures can be seen faintly.
On the front line of Beicheng, all 10,000 Yanjun soldiers were in place.
Facing the oncoming enemies, there was no trace of fear on the young faces. Some were just eager to kill the enemy and make achievements, and some were just full of passionate fighting spirit.
The enemy army came with fierce force, and in only a quarter of an hour, they had already reached a place outside the city.
When the dust and fog cleared, more than 8,000 elite Cao Jun cavalry showed their ferocious faces. Their dense armor almost reflected the cold sky, and the big banner of "Xiahou" was dancing wildly.
Although Cao's army rushed towards them, they formed a formation in an instant, and the army was in an orderly manner. There was no sign of a long-distance attack. Xiahou DunSure enough, he has the ability to run an army.
Just when Yan Liang secretly praised his opponent, rumble of war drums sounded outside the city, and Cao Cao's eight thousand troops had already launched an attack.
The trench-filling team, the sword and shield bearers, the crossbowmen, and the city climbing team, Cao Jun's troops were layered on top of each other and organized in an orderly manner. Amidst the thundering sound of war drums, they slowly advanced towards the north city of Wuguan.
In a moment, eight thousand Cao Cao's troops had advanced more than 200 steps in front of the city and were within the range of their crossbows.
"My lord, Cao's army has entered the firing range of our army, and we have ordered the arrows to be fired." Huang Zhong raised his hand and asked for instructions.
Yan Liang disagreed and said: "Our army's arrows are precious, how can we waste them easily? Come on, hang up that shield for me."
Huang Zhong didn¡¯t understand what Yan Liang meant and was confused for a moment, but then he suddenly realized.
?????????????????????? Several pro-soldiers came up to the city, and with a few efforts, a man who was tied up was hung in the center of the city gate.
The person who was hanged was the prisoner Cao Hong.
Outside the city, Xiahou Dun was full of confidence and urging his men to attack. When he suddenly saw Cao Hong being hung out, a look of infinite shock and anger suddenly appeared on his ferocious and confident face. (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
