    Fight and rush to the party, go straight to Huguan!  ?

    Zhou Cang was stunned for a moment. Surprise suddenly appeared on his dark face.  .

    "It turns out that His Majesty is retreating in order to advance, and he has another clever plan." Zhou Cang looked at Yan Liang in amazement.

    Yan Liang raised the corners of his mouth slightly and smiled without saying a word.

    This strategy was proposed by Xu Shu. He pretended to retreat to hide his true purpose, and took advantage of the situation to move his troops southward into Hanoi County. From there, he went north to Taihang and took Shangdang County directly.

    The area under the jurisdiction of Shangdang County is roughly equivalent to the area south of Heshun and Yudu counties in Shanxi today and east of the Qin River Basin.

    The county is blocked by the Taihang Mountains in the east, making communication with Jizhou quite difficult.

    To the south of Shangdang County are Taihang and Wanglayer Mountains, which form an obstacle to communication with neighboring counties in Sizhou.

    As for its southwest, it is blocked by Zhongtiao Mountain, which makes it difficult to reach southern Shanxi. In the north, there are Taihang and Taiyue peaks, so communication with central Shanxi is also very difficult.

    This county has a high terrain and steep peaks, like a fortress. It overlooks Hebei and Henan. The territory is rugged and mountainous, with ravines and deep obstacles. It is a relatively easy-to-read regional system.

    Shangdang County has an important strategic position. Since the Warring States Period, it has become a position that various countries compete for. The three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Qin all used their troops to compete fiercely for this county.

    In terms of the degree of danger, Shangdang is second to none among the counties in Bingzhou.

    Precisely for this reason, although Sima Yi occupied this county, he did not station heavy troops here, because he believed that Yan Liang would never choose such a difficult nut to attack as the main direction.

    Yan Liang wanted to give Sima Yi a surprise, and in the name of withdrawing his troops, he took over this seemingly unconquerable county.

    If he can capture Shangdang County by surprise, he can send his army to the north, bypass the passes in southern Shanxi, and go straight to the southeast of Jinyang City.

    At that time, Sima Yi¡¯s anus was exploded, let¡¯s see how long he can last.

    Soldiers are more valuable than speed. Yan Liang's army pretended to retreat to the Yellow River, quickly turned back north and entered Hanoi County, led 80,000 infantry troops to advance lightly, and rushed to Shangdang County.

    Although Shangdang County is in its own system, it is not completely disconnected from the outside world. Since ancient times, it has been connected with the outside world through the narrow channels in the mountains.

    Among them, the most important passage is called Taihangxing.

    This trail starts from Changzi County, goes south along the Zhuozhuo Zhang Valley to Xuushi City, follows the Baishui River Valley to Gaodu City, and then passes south through Tianjing Pass to enter Hanoi County.

    Yan Liang¡¯s surprise attack on Shangdang was through Taihangxing.

    Although the Taihang Pass is only a hundred miles long, its widest point is less than four steps, winding and winding, shaped like a sheep intestine. It is naturally extremely difficult for ordinary soldiers to walk.

    However, the main force brought by Yan Liang on this trip were mostly soldiers from Yizhou.

    The road to Shu is difficult to climb to the sky. These Shu soldiers are best at fighting in the mountains. For them, the narrow path is not as smooth as walking on flat ground, but it is not difficult either.

    Veteran general Zhang Ren led the most elite Han Chinese mountain infantry to serve as the vanguard. He opened roads along the mountains and built bridges when encountering water, paving a smooth road for Hou Xu's army.

    Just as Yan Liang expected, Sima Yi was unprepared for Yan Liang's true intentions, and his raiding army was invincible along the way.

    Going north from Hanoi, there were very few troops stationed in Tianjingguan, Gaodu City, and Xuushi City along the way, and the defenders were fully prepared. Facing the Chu army, which was like divine soldiers descending from the sky, they either collapsed at the wind or surrendered in Kaicheng.

    The Chu army passed through Taihangxing with almost no effort. The troops entered the hinterland of Shangdang and headed towards Huguan City, the seat of Shangdang County.

    Shangdang County is governed by Huguan.

    In Guancheng, Wang Ling, Sima Yi's confidant and favorite general, was sitting around the stove in the county mansion, drinking fine wine, singing songs, and watching the beauties dancing with their sleeves and shadowing in front of the hall.

    There were wars everywhere in the Jin Kingdom, and all the generals were fighting hard, but only Shangdang County, which Wang Ling guarded, enjoyed a rare peace.

    Although Wang Ling only had five thousand soldiers, he was confident that the Chu army would never invade Shangdang. At this moment, he could enjoy a comfortable life while others were trapped by the war.

    After finishing the glass of wine, Wang Ling smacked his lips, his slightly smoked face already showing a bit of drunkenness.

    "I heard that the Chu thief has retreated. After all, this Yan thief is a humble man. How can he be the opponent of the emperor from a famous family? Humph, a poor family is a poor family after all. How can he compete with my noble family"

    Wang Ling's mood became better and better as he read the information sent by Jin Nan, and his pride in being born into a noble family became stronger and stronger.

    "Report~~" an urgent soundThe sound of the bell interrupted Wang Ling's good mood.

    Wang Ling glared at the sergeant below him in displeasure and said flatly, "Why are you yelling and yelling to disrupt my general's elegance?"

    As he spoke, Wang Ling swallowed another glass of wine.

    "General, there is an urgent report from the south. The Chu army suddenly entered our Shangdang from Taihangxing. All the cities in Gaodu surrendered without a fight. The Chu army's forward is heading towards Huguan."

    ¡°Pfft¡ª¡± The warm wine that Wang Ling had just put into his throat spat out when he opened his mouth, choking him and causing him to cough.

    After coughing for a long time, Wang Ling finally regained his breath. His face was full of shock, and he shouted in a trembling voice: "How is it possible? Didn't Yan Thief return to Luoyang? How could he break into my Shangdang County?"

    The sergeant was at a loss, and of course it was impossible to know why.

    Wang Ling is not stupid. After he asked the question in surprise, his mind turned around and he suddenly realized.

    It suddenly dawned on him that Yan Liang's retreat was just a false move, in order to use the excuse of retreat to retreat to the Hanoi line openly without Sima Yi's suspicion.

    Then, Yan Liangcai took advantage of the Jin State's failure to prepare the situation in time, crossed Taihangjing with a light army, and unexpectedly killed him at the foot of Huguan City.

    After thinking about all this, Wang Ling was shocked and stunned for a moment. The previous pride and sarcasm towards Yan Liang disappeared in the blink of an eye.

    "This handsome thief is so cunning in his tactics. Is he a human or a devil?" Wang Ling was so shocked that he became confused.

    After a long while, Wang Ling came to his senses and had to quickly order the entire army to be on alert and strictly guard Huguan. At the same time, he sent Pegasus to the north and reported to Sima Yi.

    And when Wang Ling's messenger had just left the city for less than a day, the vanguard army led by Zhang Ren went up to the eldest son to fight in front of Huguan City.

    Two days later, 80,000 infantry troops led by Yan Liang arrived and marched down the stronghold from all directions to surround Huguan City.

    ¡­¡­

    Thirty miles southwest of Jinyang, Dalingcheng.

    After confirming that the Chu army had retreated, Sima Yi completely relaxed his mind and led the main force of the Jin army back north to Jinyang.

    When they retreated to Daling City that day, Sima Yi was in a good mood, so he ordered the army to stay. He held a banquet in the imperial tent to celebrate his success in resisting the enemy in advance.

    "This time the Yan bandits have retreated, why don't Your Majesty lead us out of Bingzhou and capture Youyan in one fell swoop?" Ke Bineng shouted boldly.

    Sima Yi smiled slightly: "It is inevitable to capture Youyan and all of Hebei. However, there is no chaos in Yan Zei's country and Youzhou's rule is still stable. It is not the time for us to act rashly."

    "The Yan thief is violent, despises the family, and does not rely on talents. I predict that the people in his country have already boiled with dissatisfaction, and sooner or later there will be a great chaos. At that time, we can unite with Goguryeo, attack from the east, capture Youyan first, and then go to Hebei to wipe out the world.  It¡¯s time to wait.¡±

    Jia Kui was a little drunk and talked eloquently, outlining his future ambitions.

    Although Sima Yi felt that Jia Kui's strategy was a bit exaggerated, he was slightly drunk and felt happy when he heard it and couldn't help laughing.

    In the royal tent, the kings and ministers of Jin were enjoying themselves in a happy and relaxed atmosphere. It seemed that they had completely forgotten the embarrassment they felt when they were forced by the Chu army.

    When the atmosphere of the banquet was getting intense, the tent curtain was raised, and the sergeant who entered brought the cold wind into the tent, causing everyone to shiver.

    "Your Majesty, I have come from Shangdang to ask for help on the orders of General Wang." The travel-worn messenger fell to the ground and announced.

    "I asked Wang Yanyun to guard the party because I gave him the credit for guarding the country. What's the point of him complaining?" Sima Yi, who was cold-hearted, complained a little unhappily.

    "Your Majesty, the Chu thief Yan Liang led his army to break into Shangdang and attacked the city and fell to the ground. General Wang has insufficient troops and horses to stop the enemy. Please send reinforcements to rescue him."

    There was a sudden crow in the royal tent.

    Including Sima Yi, the faces of every Jin king and minister were frozen in a moment of astonishment.

    The temperature of the originally warm tent suddenly dropped to the bottom.

    Bangdang~~

    I don¡¯t know whose hand the wine glass fell to the ground, and the shattering sound also woke up the shocked Jin Dynasty monarchs and ministers from their stupor.

    There was an uproar!

    "How is it possible? Yan Thief has retired. How could he appear in Shangdang County?"

    "That's right. Could it be that Wang Yanyun made a false alarm? Maybe it's just the bandits causing trouble."

    "It is a serious crime to lie about military intelligence."

    ¡­¡­

    None of the ministers under his command believed this astonishing fact. They all shouted and found reasons to comfort themselves.

    Snapped!

      Sima Yi slammed the table, which shocked the noisy ministers. The ministers all closed their mouths and looked at Sima Yi tremblingly.

    Sima Yi's face was as gloomy as a haze, he secretly clenched his fists, and said bitterly: "We have all fallen into that Yan thief's annihilation plan. His return to the south is just a disguise. It is true that he secretly raided the Shangdang from Hanoi. Damn, this Yan thief  It¡¯s really a cunning plan, even I fell into his trap!¡±

    Sima Yi is worthy of being the most resourceful person in the Jin Kingdom. When the officials were still deceiving themselves, he already figured out the reason in the blink of an eye.

    There was a lot of "hypothesis" among the ministers. After listening to Sima Yi's words, they suddenly realized and believed this cruel and shocking fact.

    "Your Majesty, the terrain of Shangdang is very dangerous. If there is any mistake, the Yan thieves can bypass my defense line directly south and penetrate directly to the back of Jinyang City." Jia Kui shouted in shock.

    "How could I not know the important surname of Shangdang? Why do you need to remind him?" Sima Yi glared at him, seeming to blame him for talking nonsense, and also seemed to blame him for not seeing through Yan Liang's plan and sharing the worries for himself.

    Jia Kui looked ashamed and lowered his head slightly, embarrassed to say anything again.

    "Yan Thief, Yan Thief, I didn't expect that I would fall into your trap after all my efforts. I won't let you take down the Shangdang easily, never!" Sima Yi gritted his teeth and swore secretly.  To be continued.  )
