- Huang Quan, a familiar name.
Historically, when Liu Bei conquered Shu, Huang Quan was the most determined person to oppose it.
However, after Liu Zhang surrendered, Huang Quan still chose to surrender to Liu Bei, but later when Liu Bei was defeated in Yiling, he switched to Wei.
"Liu Zhang is a mediocre master. Even if Huang Quan is aware of Gutu Shu, Liu Zhang may not listen to his advice. Otherwise, how could Xiaozhi and these four thousand troops come to Jingzhou." Yan Liang did not. Tai put Huang Quan in his eyes.
Fazheng said: "My lord is unaware of this. Not long after he left Chengdu, he heard that Huang Quan had asked himself to be transferred to the post of Governor of Badong. It is obvious that he intended to guard against my lord."
Huang Quan, Governor of Badong!
Yan Liang¡¯s brows trembled slightly, this news somewhat surprised him.
The reason why he sent Yiji as an envoy to Yizhou and spent a long time to paralyze Liu Zhang was to unexpectedly attack Badong County and cross the dangerous Three Gorges.
Huang Quan, who now has doubts about himself, took the initiative to ask him to be the governor of Badong. If he defended Baidi City and took strict precautions, how could he take Badong County by surprise and successfully open the way to Shu.
At this time, Fazheng smiled and said: "You don't need to worry too much if you take the initiative. Huang Quan has some talents, but he is not able to carry the lord alone. As long as the lord's army can successfully enter Baidi City, It¡¯s nearby, just act accordingly.¡±
Fazheng¡¯s confident words quickly dispelled Yan Liang¡¯s concerns.
"Yes, even Zhou Yu, a resourceful man, is no match for my Yan Liang. You, a mere Huang Quan, want to block my progress. You are simply overestimating your capabilities."
Thinking of this, Yan Liang laughed and said proudly: "Xiao Zhi said it well. Huang Quan is just a fool. Isn't he suspicious of Gu? I will give him a big surprise."
Fazheng is also like two people who are stroking their beards and smiling, driving together, and they are confident.
¡¡
Fazheng brought four thousand soldiers and horses and two hundred carts of money and food, but Yan Liang was not in a hurry to set out to conquer Shu. He still needed to wait for a suitable external opportunity.
Yan Liang, who was stationed in Jiangling, sent an order to Wenpin to create the illusion that he was about to enter Shangyong from the direction of Wancheng, in order to cooperate with his plan to Liu Zhang.
On the other hand, Yan Liang's detailed work network in the north is paying close attention to the situation of the major princes in the north.
More than ten days later, news came from Hebei that the Yan army led by Yuan Tan, after besieging the city for several months, finally broke through Julu City, Yuan Shang's last settlement.
Yuan Shang, who was defeated, was unwilling to surrender to Yuan Tan and set fire to himself.
At this point, Yuan Shang's power was wiped out, and the only three remaining commanderies under his command, Zhao, Anping, and Guangping, heard that Yuan Shang was dead and surrendered to Yuan Tan one after another.
Yuan Tan, who controlled Youzhou, half of Bingzhou and half of Jizhou, became famous for a while.
However, just when Yuan Tan was getting carried away with his huge victory, Liu Bei, who had rested for a whole winter, suddenly led an army of 50,000 people, marched north from Yecheng, and launched a fierce attack on Yuan Tan.
Although Yuan Tan had just won a great victory, his Yan army had been in a state of combat since last year and had never had a day's rest. After defeating Yuan Shang, the soldiers of the three armies were extremely exhausted and completely exhausted physically and mentally. Relax.
Liu Bei chose to launch the attack at this time, and the timing was not bad.
With Xiliang cavalry general Zhang Xiu, who was good at commanding cavalry, as the vanguard, Liu Bei's army drove northward and defeated the exhausted Yuan Tan army in Handan, Quyang, Julu and other places, advancing northward like a broken bamboo.
Yuan Tan was defeated in the battle. The Julu and other counties he had just obtained from Yuan Shang fell to Liu Bei one after another. Yuan Tan, who had been defeated in consecutive battles, had to shrink his main force to Zhongshan Kingdom, Hejian County and Bohai County adjacent to Youzhou. A line of defense to resist Liu Bei's attack.
Obviously, Liu Bei dared to launch an attack on Yuan Tan. In all likelihood, he also detected that Yan Liang might use troops against Yizhou, and Cao Cao also showed signs of attacking Hanzhong, so he dared to go to war with Yuan Tan with confidence.
At this time, of Liu Bei's more than 100,000 troops, about 30,000 were deployed on the Luoyang front line, with generals Zhang Fei and Han Meng in charge to guard against Cao Cao. Guan Yu's Xuzhou Army also increased to about 20,000, regaining its strength, and Beware of Yanliang.
And Cao Cao in Chang'an City saw that Liu Bei on the Luoyang front line had already taken precautions. If he mobilized all his troops to attack, Liu Bei could quickly send troops from Hebei to rescue him.
So, Cao Cao decided to let Liu Bei and Yuan Tan fight to the death, and he would reap the benefits of the fishermen, while Cao Cao used Guo Jia's plan, determined to take Yizhou first, strengthen his own strength, and then move east.
And thisAt this time, Cao Cao seemed to have received the news, and learned that Liu Zhang planned to join forces with Yan Liang to attack Hanzhong. Under this situation, Cao Cao could not wait any longer, so soon after the spring came, in the name of pacifying the Di people in Wudu, he Sent troops from Chang'an and marched towards Hanzhong.
Liu Bei was restrained by Yuan Tan, and Cao Cao raised his troops to attack Hanzhong. This also meant that Yan Liang's territory in the north would be temporarily free from external threats.
Only at this time could Yan Liang boldly lead an expedition to Shu.
So, just a few days after receiving the news that Cao Cao was sending troops, Yan Liang sent a note to Liu Zhang and began to lead an army of 40,000 people up the river towards Badong County.
Forty thousand Yan troops took more than a hundred warships and marched westward along the Yangtze River, passing through Yiling, Zigui, Wuxian and other Yidu counties. After a few days, they successfully crossed the dangerous Three Gorges and arrived in the east of Baidi City.
This Baidi City is the seat of Badong County. Historically, it was changed to Yong'an after Liu Bei's defeat in Yiling.
At this time, Huang Quan, who was transferred to the post of Badong Governor, was leading 4,000 Shu troops to guard Baidi City.
As Fazheng said, Huang Quan was deeply suspicious of Yan Liang. When Yan Liang's army had not passed the Three Gorges, the commander in Baidi City sent back intelligence, saying that Baidi City was on full alert and that four thousand Shu The troops are well prepared and prepared as if facing a powerful enemy.
And when Yan Liang set up camp fifteen miles east of Baidi City, Huang Quan did not fulfill his duty as a landlord and did not send anyone to labor. Moreover, in broad daylight, the four gates of Baidi City were closed. As if guarding against thieves.
The Chinese military tent.
Yan Liang stood at the tent door, looking at the Baidi City towering on the riverside in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh: "Xiaozhi, it seems that it is as you said. Huang Quan's defense is really tight. It seems that he wants to take him by surprise. It¡¯s not easy to capture Baidi City.¡±
Fazheng said with a smile: "My lord's army has successfully passed through the Three Gorges, there is nothing to worry about. Once it comes, make sure it is safe. This Baidi City is not in a hurry to capture it all at once. It will be done slowly."
"I just want to figure it out slowly, but Prime Minister Cao won't give me time. I'm afraid Zhang Lu won't be able to withstand Prime Minister Cao for much longer."
Yan Liang, who is familiar with history, remembers that when Cao Cao defeated Zhang Lu in history, it only took more than a month, and the efficiency was so fast.
At this time, Yan Liang could not imitate Liu Bei in history. He spent a lot of time winning people's hearts and took Yizhou in three years.
Time waits for no one, Yan Liang is racing against Cao Cao.
At this time, Pang Tong stroked his beard and smiled, and said calmly: "It's just a Baidi City, how can we delay it for too long? Let's do this. My lord will write a letter and invite Huang Quan to come to meet and see how this famous scholar in Shu copes with it."
"Be polite first and then attack with force", this is Pang Tong's strategy.
At present, Yan Liang and Liu Zhang are joining forces in name. Liu Zhang is the host and Yan Liang is the guest. As the prefect of Badong County, Huang Quan will not take the initiative to welcome Yan Liang as a guest.
Now that Yan Liang, the host, has taken the initiative to host a banquet, it would be too rude for Huang Quan not to come.
So, Yan Liang posted a message, claiming that he would hold a banquet in the army to thank you, Huang Taishou, for your kind hospitality, and to invite Huang Taishou to come and talk about it.
That evening, a messenger flew away on horseback to Baidi City to deliver Yan Liang's post.
Before dark, the messenger flew back again and brought back Huang Quan's reply.
In the letter, Huang Quan respectfully thanked Yan Liang for his kind invitation, but politely declined Yan Liang's invitation on the grounds of physical discomfort.
Snapped!
Yan Liang patted the silk letter on the case and sneered: "I personally wrote a letter to invite you, but Huang Quan didn't even give me face. It seems that Baidi City must be attacked by force."
Now that the Three Gorges has been conquered, the Shu army is in danger of being lost. How can Yan Liang take Baidi City seriously?
At this time, Pang Tong said: "Shicai Tong secretly inspected the terrain of Baidi City. This city is built on the mountain and is extremely dangerous. If Huang Quan is really prepared, four thousand soldiers and horses will be enough to defend it for more than ten days. Then Liu Zhang suddenly realized that a large army would come to rescue us. If a large number of Shu soldiers were allowed to arrive at Baidi, the situation of conquering Shu would be unfavorable to us. "
Pang Tong did not agree with a strong attack.
Yan Liang didn't know the disadvantages of a strong attack, but now that Cao Cao has attacked Hanzhong, he wants to compete with Cao Cao for time. This Huang Quan doesn't take advantage of others, so spending time here is not an option.
At this time, Fazheng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly had a sly smile on his lips, "My lord, Zheng has a plan, so that Huang Quan can come uninvited."
¡¡
Three days later.
The night is already dark, at this timeHuang Quan, still wearing armor, patrolled the top of Baidi City.
More than ten miles away, there is Yan Liang's 40,000 army. These 40,000 troops make Huang Quan feel like a light on his back all the time, making him dare not relax at all.
It has been three days since the world-famous Yan Liang led his army into his county. For three days, Yan's army has remained stationary, showing no signs of planning to go north to Shangyong.
It seems that Yan Liang intends to stay at his doorstep and has no intention of leaving.
Yan Jun's abnormal signs made Huang Quan increasingly uneasy.
While I was deep in thought, I suddenly saw a horse galloping towards the east gate under the light of the fire at the top of the city.
Huang Quan tensed up and immediately became alert.
But he saw that horseman approaching the city and shouting: "Is Huang Gongheng there? I am Fa Zheng. Let me enter the city quickly."
In the middle of the night, Fazheng, as an envoy, suddenly rode alone from Yan Yingzai to Baidi City. Such behavior immediately made Huang Quan suspicious.
"So it's Fa Xiaozhi, why are you here late at night? Is there something important?" Huang Quan asked loudly instead of rushing to open the city gate.
Fazheng, who was under the city, looked anxious and shouted: "The situation is urgent. If Gongheng doesn't let me enter the city, disaster will come to Yizhou!"
Hearing this, Huang Quan's expression suddenly changed. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!) - Didn't finish reading?
