Chapter 694: Dingjun Mountain!
Yangping Pass, the lobby of the military government. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the lobby, the wine and meat have been arranged, and a celebration banquet is underway.
This was the second time in two days that Zhang Ren had set up a celebration banquet to celebrate the repulsion of the Wei army's attack on Yangping Pass that day.
Since the Wei army invaded Shu, the Shu army was almost defeated in a hundred battles, and the battle of Yangping Pass, although the Wei army was killed and wounded less than 1,000 people, but for the Shu army, it was already a rare victory.
In particular, Zhang Ren, who was defeated by the hands of the potters again and again, lost his dignity, and now he was able to successfully repel the Wei army, and he was very relieved.
He even held a banquet, on the one hand, to celebrate, and on the other hand, he was also showing off to Li Yan and other young Zhuang factions to suppress the arrogance of the other party.
In the lobby, Zhang Ren drank one cup after another, and Yan Yan, Huang Quan and other civil and military personnel were also talking and laughing and drinking happily.
"In the battle the day before yesterday, the Wei army was just a tentative attack, and it seems a little early for General Zhang to celebrate so much." Li Yan on the side sneered.
"You don't understand that." Huang Quan hurriedly replied: "The purpose of General Zhang's celebration is to boost the officers and soldiers of the three armies, so that everyone can remember this victory and know that the Wei army is not invincible, this is General Zhang's real purpose." ”
Zhang Ren nodded again and again, mocked Li Yan and glanced at him coldly, snorted, and continued to drink.
In front of the hall, Li Yan and Fa Zheng glanced at each other, a hint of gloom flashed in their eyes, obviously dissatisfied with Zhang Ren's current "arrogant" attitude.
Just when the excitement was at the height of this banquet, a scout rushed into the lobby in a hurry, and exclaimed: "General Zhang, the defenders of Dingjun Mountain are in an urgent report, thousands of Wei troops suddenly killed from the southern trail to the foot of Dingjun Mountain, and captured our army camp in one fell swoop, and the five hundred defenders were wiped out!" ”
Bang!
A thunderbolt fell on his head, shattering all of Zhang Ren's complacency, and even shocking him to the point that he even dropped the wine glass in his hand.
In the hall, the Shu generals, who were already drunk and most of them were half-drunk, all trembled and woke up from their drunkenness in an instant.
After a moment of shock, Zhang Renteng jumped up, rushed down the stairs in a few steps, and snatched the silk book information in the scout's hand.
He eagerly swept it, and the white and black characters on it were clearly written, and sure enough, the potters sent Han Xin as a general, crossed the Yangping Pass from the Micang Mountain Trail, and attacked Dingjun Mountain.
Zhang Ren's face changed suddenly, his expression was panicked and angry, he tore apart the information in his hand in a few clicks, gritted his teeth and scolded: "No wonder the pottery thief has not moved in the past few days, it turns out that he actually used tricks and attacked my Dingjun Mountain, the Micang Mountain trail, even few people in my Shu Kingdom know, how did the pottery thief find it?" ”
The Shu generals on the left and right were all frightened and stunned, and they hadn't turned the corner for a while.
Fa Zheng was the first to come to his senses, and muttered, "Han Xin...... Han Shin ...... It's this Han Xin again, last time he smuggled into Yinping, and this time he attacked Dingjun Mountain, this person is really our nemesis......"
When Fa Zheng was amazed here, Zhang Ren was already annoyed and angry, and said hatefully: "Dingjun Mountain is the throat of Yangping Pass, and there is no room for loss, I will immediately raise a large army out of the pass and go to recapture Dingjun Mountain!" ”
Zhang Ren wanted to raise troops to seize Dingjun Mountain, and everyone also knew the importance of Dingjun Mountain, so naturally no one objected.
That Wang Ping stood up and persuaded: "General Zhang, you must be calm, the pottery thief must have resorted to this trick because he couldn't break my Yangping, and attacked my Dingjun Mountain, the purpose of which must be to lure our army to take the initiative to go out of the customs to fight. ”
Zhang Ren's expression moved, as if he understood something, but he frowned and said: "What you said is not unreasonable, but this Dingjun Mountain is a matter of great importance, if the Wei army goes west from Dingjun Mountain and directly captures Nanzheng, then what else do we have to defend this Yangping Pass, I must take back this mountain!" ”
Wang Ping groaned slightly, and said: "Although the pottery thief attacked Dingjun Mountain, but the Micang Mountain trail is extremely difficult to walk, I think this enemy army must come lightly, as long as the general quickly branch the king, order the counties east of Yangping Pass to close the city gates, and stick to no fight, even if this enemy army threatens Nanzheng to the east, it will be useless, and when he runs out of food and grass, he will naturally retreat without a fight." ”
Zhang Ren's expression moved, and he was silent, as if he was moving for Wang Ping.
At this time, Fa Zheng said: "What Wang Zijun said is certainly reasonable, but have you ever thought that our army is already demoralized, if you hear that the Wei army actually bypassed Yangping Pass and appeared in the rear of our Hanzhong, what kind of heavy blow will it be to the hearts of the people and the army, at that time, if the hearts of the people in the eastern cities are shaken, they will surrender directly to the enemy army in Kaecheng, so that they can gain a firm foothold in our rear, and when the enemy army is flanked by the east and west, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”
Fa Zheng's words immediately dispelled Zhang Ren's thoughts, he immediately took a few shots, and said decisively: "The general has made up his mind, and Dingjun Mountain must be saved, just take advantage of the situation to repel this Wei thief, and use a big victory to boost the morale of our army again." ”
"General Zhang is wise." Fa Zheng was busy patting his ass, and then said: "General Zhang is the commander of the three armies, and he can't go out in person, General Li was stationed in Hanzhong back then, and he knows a little about Dingjun Mountain, so I think it's appropriate to send him to lead the army to recapture Dingjun Mountain." ”
Zhang Ren didn't want to think about it, he wanted to agree when he opened his mouth.
At this time, Huang Quan's eyes rolled, and he suddenly realized something, and without waiting for Zhang Ren to agree, he preemptively said: "General Zhang, Quan was also an official in Hanzhong back then, and he also knows the terrain of Dingjun Mountain very well, so it is better for me to recapture Dingjun Mountain." ”
Zhang Ren saw that Huang Quan was also vying to lead the army into battle, and he was still secretly glancing at himself, and immediately understood Huang Quan's intentions.
This time to save Dingjun Mountain, it is impossible to recapture it without 5,000 soldiers and horses, which is equivalent to Zhang Ren to send nearly half of the troops, if Li Yan is sent to make a move, it is equivalent to handing over half of the military power at hand to Li Yan and their Shaozhuang faction.
Moreover, the loss of Dingjun Mountain was Zhang Ren's negligence, and the recapture of Dingjun Mountain became Li Yan's credit, and when the time came, this watch was sent to Nanzheng, what would Liu Zhang think when he saw it?
"Fortunately, Huang Quan reacted in time, that's right, this credit must not be given to Li Yan and them, and I will never hand over half of the soldiers and horses to them......"
Zhang Ren's eyes moved slightly, and he already realized in his heart, and immediately said: "This general still has to rely on General Li as his right arm, in case the pottery thieves take advantage of the situation to attack Yangping Pass and seize the task of returning the military mountain, so let General Huang go." ”
Li Yan was seen through his intentions, and his brows were secretly condensed, but he couldn't say anything.
Therefore, Zhang Ren immediately sent Huang Quan as the main general, Yan Yan and Wang Fu as the deputy generals, and led 5,000 soldiers and horses out of the eastern part of the country to recapture the Dingjun Mountain fortress.
……
A few days later, Dingjun Mountain.
In front of the mountain, the Wei camp is a big camp, and the Chinese army is a big tent.
In the big tent, Han Xin was looking at the movements of the enemy in Yangping Pass, and the details that were densely spread on the front line of the Guancheng had already sent the latest first-hand information to him.
"Well, as I expected, Zhang Ren really sent 5,000 soldiers and horses to come, General Wu, it seems that you and I are going to achieve miraculous feats again." Han Xin smiled slightly, and showed the information in his hand to Wu Yi.
In this surprise attack on Dingjun Mountain, the pottery merchant considered that Wu Yi had successfully assisted Han Xin in smuggling Yinping before, so he sent him as a general to continue to assist Han Xin, hoping that their pair would be able to make miraculous achievements again.
Wu Yi's face was filled with excitement, and after taking the information and looking at it a few times, he nodded again and again, but said: "The enemy army has indeed been lured out by us, but our army came lightly, and the dry food it carried was only seven days, and it was necessary to destroy this Shu army within seven days."
"Don't worry, I already have a plan to break the enemy, General Wu is waiting to be rewarded by the king with me." Han Xin smiled confidently, and his eyebrows showed the momentum of victory.
"General Han really has a clever plan, let's talk about it." Wu Yi became even more excited and couldn't wait to ask.
Han Xin was unhurried and explained his plan.
"Clever plan, really a clever plan, it seems that I, Wu Yi, am really lucky, following you General Han, I can make a great contribution, haha-" Wu Yi, who was excited, couldn't help laughing out loud.
In the big tent, there was a hearty laughter.
……
Six days later.
For six days, the Wei army did not move at all.
Huang Quan is not stupid, although he opposed Wang Ping's opinion, he remembered Wang Ping's judgment of the Wei army and knew that the Wei army did not have much food and grass.
Therefore, when he led his army to the front of Dingjun Mountain, he saw that the Wei army had two large camps in front of the mountain, east and west, and thought that he was horned, so he also fought-for-tat, and also got down two large camps, forming a confrontation with the Wei army.
It's just a confrontation, but he is not in a hurry to attack, he just thinks about consuming the Wei army's food and grass and retreating without a fight, at that time, he can recapture Dingjun Mountain without much effort.
"It's already the sixth day, I expect that the Wei army will only bring soldiers and horses for six or seven days at most, we only need to spend another day or two with them, and the Wei thieves will flee without a fight." Huang Quan judged confidently.
"General Huang, I think this Han Xin is a very powerful solution, he smuggled through Yinping a while ago, let our army abandon the Sword Pavilion, and was defeated by the Wei army, don't underestimate him." The veteran Yan Yan reminded from the side.
Huang Quan smiled disapprenously, "Old general, I think you are too worried, the enemy camp is confronting us in front of you, any of his actions can't escape our eyes, what tricks can that kid surnamed Han play." ”
Yan Yan was speechless for a while, thinking about what Huang Quan said seemed to make sense, but he just felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it for a while.
"Newspaper - Xiying Urgent Report!"
The scout suddenly rushed in and shouted: "General Huang, Lord Wang of Xiying has reported urgently, thousands of Wei troops suddenly came out of the camp and launched a rapid attack on our battalion, the enemy attack is too fierce, Lord Wang can no longer hold on, and sent someone to ask the general to send troops to rescue immediately." ”
The Wei army finally moved, and it stood still for six days, but at this time, it suddenly launched a fierce attack on Xiying!
Huang Quan didn't have time to think about it, and immediately said: "Old General Yan, you stay and guard the east camp, and I will lead two thousand soldiers and horses to save the west camp." ”
Yan Yan's expression moved, and he hurriedly said: "General Huang, you are the commander of the whole army, why don't you come to guard the camp, and I will save Lord Wang." ”
Huang Quan shook his head and said meaningfully: "I guess this may be that Han Xin is playing with the plan to attack the west, taking advantage of the division of our army to save the west camp, but he suddenly led the army to attack my east camp, I left General Yan to guard the east camp, it is precisely because General Yan Lao that your ability to defend the camp is far better than mine." ”
Huang Quan's judgment was not unreasonable, and Yan Yan couldn't think of anything wrong, so he no longer objected.
At that moment, Huang Quan did not dare to hesitate, and immediately led 2,000 soldiers and horses out of the camp to rescue the western camp, but left Yan Yan with 1,000 elite soldiers and continued to hold on to the eastern camp in case the Wei army took the opportunity to attack.
