Chapter 33: Juyongguan (replaced) [1st Update]
Su Yunqing still failed to make it to the front line in the end, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who she was looking forward to, are said to have been solved by Lu Bu alone in the later battle with Lu Bu.
However, I have to say that Lu Bu's martial arts are indeed flying up, it is not wrong to say that he is a hanging B, Guan Yu Zhang Fei's level of martial arts generals is already considered top, at least as far as Su Yunqing knows, Guan Yu is called a martial saint by later generations.
Although Su Yunqing's history is indeed not good, she probably still knows what level Guan Yu is, regardless of whether the stories and rumors of later generations are reliable or not, at least one thing is very clear, to have such a high reputation in later generations, Guan Yu is indeed a very powerful and remarkable person.
As for Zhang Fei, don't talk about anything else, just talk about the force value, then at least it is on the same level as Guan Yu, right?
However, with such a strong combination of two top generals, Lu Bu overturned them all, and he didn't save any face.
Even Su Yunqing heard that if it weren't for the martial arts of these two people, which was indeed very good, and Gongsun Zan commanded the soldiers to cover in time, Lu Bu would even be able to cut these two people directly in front of the battle.
Originally, Su Yunqing was worried that Lu Bu would not be able to cope with it alone, so he sent Zhao Yun over, but Zhao Yun went with great expectations, and when he went, he became a crowd of onlookers eating melons, and came back again without doing anything_(:3γβ )_
"That Guan Yu Zhang Fei, is there really such a big gap with Feng Xian?"
You can't do it two-on-one, that's too cowardly, right?
Su Yunqing thought that he could still compete with Lu Bu.
Zhao Yun twitched the corners of his mouth: "Yes, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are indeed not Feng Xian's opponents. β
Speaking of this, Zhao Yun added: "Even so, these two are also rare heroes in the world." β
Su Yunqing sighed, extremely disappointed.
Xun You is very energetic: "Now that the entire territory of Daijun has entered the hands of the lord, the next step should be Shanggu County and Zhuo County." β
It's just that Xun You had to remind: "Lord, we fought fairly smoothly in Daijun, but it's hard to say later, although Gongsun Chan is old and faint, he is not a person without fighting spirit, and then we are afraid that we will be fiercely counterattacked by them." β
Sure enough, after the battle of Daijun, the two sides rested for more than ten days, and then Su Yunqing marched into the area of Pan County, and Gongsun Chan also unceremoniously gave a blow, until this moment, Su Yunqing finally saw the Gongsun Chan who crossed the border and did not dare to be the enemy of the Huns.
Although the previous White Horse Yicong was strong, its scale was only a few thousand people, and it could only be regarded as a small group of elites, which was naturally beautiful to decorate the faΓ§ade, and it was also quite powerful as a deterrent to force, but if it was to be used to influence a war, it would be a joke.
The war is still fought with basic strength, no matter how sharp the blade is, but if the blade is vulnerable, it is useless.
"It wasn't until this time that I reacted to do my best, Gongsun Zhan's delay card is a bit high."
Even so, Su Yunqing still laughed at Gongsun Zan unceremoniously at Xun You: "If he had had such momentum, then Daijun would not have lost it so quickly." β
Xun You shook his head: "Originally, I thought Gongsun Chan needed more time to wake up." β
Gongsun Chan inevitably lost his enterprising spirit when he was old, greedy for pleasure all day long, and lost all the momentum of his youth, but now, under the pressure of survival, Gongsun Chan once again showed his former demeanor, and the brave and warlike Gongsun Chan seemed to be back.
Half a month after the battle in Panxian, Su Yunqing marched into Zhuolu, and it was really difficult to fight here, but Gongsun Zhan only held on for more than a month, and retreated again without showing obvious defeats.
Gongsun Zhan's retreat directly lost most of Shanggu County to Su Yunqing, and many of them could be regarded as Gongsun Zhan's initiative to give up, after a fierce battle with Su Yunqing, Gongsun Chan chose to retreat based on the basic criterion of preserving his own vitality.
But Xun You looked at the map but only said one sentence: "Gongsun Zhan's move is to give the lord a war letter, he is provoking, it only depends on whether the lord dares to take it." β
Yes, Gongsun Zan retreated all the way to Juyong Pass, Juyong Pass can be regarded as one of the dangerous passes in the world that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there was a saying that there are nine stops in the world, Juyong Pass is one of them, Juyong Pass is built according to the terrain, the surrounding mountains are steep, unless Su Yunqing's Bingzhou army can fly, otherwise it can only pass through the gate.
Su Yunqing is not without military common sense, so listening to Xun You's words at this time, he is also very clear about Gongsun Zhan's intentions.
He's really writing a war book.
Gongsun Zhan gave up most of the land in Shanggu County and pulled the battle line to the area of Juyong Pass, which can be said to be a bold approach, even Su Yunqing thought that he did not dare to make such a decision lightly.
Just as Xun You said, Gongsun Zhan had already set up a position, and he only asked Su Yunqing one word.
I'm ready to fight, how dare you fight!
"What don't you dare!"
Su Yunqing knew the danger of Juyong Pass, but since Gongsun Zhan dared to issue such a battle letter, she would dare to accept it!
Gongsun Chan is not the only person with such courage in this world!
So after Gongsun Zhan fully retreated to Juyong Pass, Su Yunqing also ordered to march into Fuyang.
Although Su Yunqing's unhesitation to respond to this kind of thing seems to be bold enough, Xun You has to remind: "Does the lord know why Gongsun Zan wants to retreat to Juyong Pass?" Is it just for the sake of Juyongguan? β
No, if it was just to defend the land, Gongsun Chan would not do such a thing, Xun You knew very well that Gongsun Chan was not the kind of person who was content with the status quo, and he was not a person who kept the status quo, and all of Gongsun Chan's actions were based on the premise of winning victory.
"Juyong Pass is dangerous, and if you want to break through this pass, you need not only people but also time, it can be said that a large number of troops and siege materials and equipment, as well as long-term time are indispensable." Xun You reminded: "My lord, in less than a month, it should be the winter season, how can we ensure the logistics supply of these soldiers and horses?" How to attack such a dangerous pass in the world in the middle of ice and snow? β
In this era when there is no heating, how bad the winter in the north is, Su Yunqing is still very clear about it for so many years in Bingzhou, and the winter in Youzhou is not much better than the winter in Bingzhou, and the danger of storming Juyong Pass is different from others, and Su Yunqing can imagine how difficult it will be to fight such a battle in the cold winter in the north.
Not to mention, when the time comes, it will not only be a matter of attacking fortifications, but also how to ensure the logistical supply of the army is a bigger problem.
In the north, winter can be regarded as a very bad season, in such a season, in this very primitive era people push horses to transport logistics materials, how difficult it is to imagine, even if the state army is not afraid of such a season because of the environment of its own state, but not afraid and not losing combat effectiveness are two different things.
Not to mention that Su Yunqing is an expedition to do this, but Gongsun Zan himself guards Juyongguan and does not worry about everything, he is fully capable of waiting for work, and when Su Yunqing is worn to death by Juyongguan's natural danger and cold winter, Su Yunqing may not be able to resist it.
But if you don't fight......
"Am I going to retire?" Su Yunqing felt that this was unacceptable at all: "Even this retreat is not just a step back, it means that I have to give up all the land that is within the scope of Gongsun Zhan's attack." β
If you don't let it out, you can't hold it.
Su Yunqing felt that this was too unreliable!
Not to mention......
"I've known about this kind of thing for a long time, so why didn't anyone persuade me to stop first after I captured Daijun?"
After she lost a lot for Kamiya County, she told her that in fact, Shanggu County couldn't fight at all, and she couldn't hold it if she did, isn't this nonsense!
Su Yunqing felt that both Jia Xu and Xun You were smart people, and it was impossible for them not to see this, so why didn't they warn her what she would face if she continued to fight?
Even, the time to send troops was chosen by Jia Xu, and the target of Youzhou was also chosen by Jia Xu, Su Yunqing didn't believe that Jia Xu couldn't think of this.
Xun You also knew very well that Su Yunqing was not complaining or accusing when she asked this question, she was just confirming one thing.
"Actually, there's a way, right?"
"Yes."
If there is no way, whether it is Xun You or Jia Xu, I am afraid that they will persuade Su Yunqing to stop and wait for the next year to fight again.
