The so-called Jue Ying Hui is that the king of Chu Zhuang set up a banquet for his ministers, and the lights and candles were blown out by the wind on the way, and some people lost their temper after drinking, touched the hand of Xu Ji, the concubine of the king of Chu, and was torn off the helmet by Xu Ji.

Then Xu Ji went to the king of Chuzhuang to complain, saying that as long as he lit the lamp and candle, he would see who did not have a helmet and tassel, and he was a rude person.

But the king of Chuzhuang said: Why humiliate the people for the sake of the woman's festival?

So he ordered that everyone should be happy, and that the helmet must be removed in order to facilitate drinking.

After the ministers were exhausted, the lights and candles were lit again, and the matter was over.

Seven years later, the king of Chuzhuang attacked Zheng, and a minister was always in front, and he fought five battles and made five meritorious contributions.

After the victory, he did not want the reward of the king of Chuzhuang, and inquired about it, but the one who died on the night seven years ago also said that today's actions are all for the grace of not being punished.

Ma Yan naturally knew this allusion, and when he heard Li Sheng's words, his heart moved.

The ranks of death row prisoners, as the name suggests, are those who have betrayed the capital crime, and let them rush to the front every time they charge, which is a veritable life of nine deaths.

In Ma Yan's opinion, those soldiers are almost dead when they are included in the list of death row prisoners, and it is a good way to get them to repay their kindness and kill the enemy desperately.

It's just that in this way, it is inevitably suspected of being a loss of military law.

"Behead the evil with the correct military law, and help the evil person to beat thirty military sticks and put him on death row, General Liu, please go and appease that family."

Ma Tan pondered for a while, and finally came to a conclusion.

When Li Sheng heard this, his face changed slightly.

Liu Yin insisted, "General Ma, in such a matter, how can there be a saying that the first evil helps the evil?" These three people are all the first evil, and if they want to be killed, they will be killed together, so why show mercy? ”

"I have my own plans, do I still need you to teach me to be the commander of this army?"

Ma Yan said angrily, "Why don't you retreat quickly? ”

The scheming in his heart is naturally this Li Sheng.

Seeing him pleading like this, there must be some reason in it.

Single-handing out one of the most evil righteous military laws is enough to deter the whole army.

At this time, it is the time to employ people, and the remaining two can just give Li Sheng a favor.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Liu Yin's identity is already more sensitive, and Ma Jian is a person who is valued by the prime minister, and when he saw Ma Jian angrily scolding himself, he had to shut up at the moment.

Ma Jian felt that he had handled it properly, and he fell asleep with his head covered.

He didn't know that when this incident happened, the attitude of the people in Luoyang City towards the Han army became a little subtle.

After he led the army, another Han army came.

The people of Lüyang couldn't believe it this time, so they all packed up their things and absconded in the mountains.

Gao Xiang led 5,000 people to Luoyang, guarding the east gate of Longyou, and at the same time, he also had the meaning of responding to Ma Yan, which was regarded as the third line of defense given by Zhuge Liang to the Longshan Pass.

By this time, the Han offensive against Longyou had finally been completed.

In the west, Wei Yan was the main general, Chen Shi was the deputy general to attack Longxi County, the northwest was about Xingzhang Bao to guard the Liangzhou soldiers and horses, the southeast had Wu Yi as the main general, Wu Ban was the deputy general to attack Shangqi, and Zhuge Liang personally led the Chinese army to attack Jicheng.

In the northeast, there is Gao Xiang guarding the east gate of Longlong, there is Ma Tan in the street pavilion, and Feng Yong is attacking Longkou at the same time.

As long as there is a place in Longyou County or Jicheng that can be captured, the Han can draw out excess troops, and the situation in Longyou is almost settled.

Feng Yong led the army only one day earlier than Ma Tan, but when all the troops he led had passed through the street pavilion two days later, Ma Jian was able to lead the people to arrive on the third day.

I saw that the terrain here is flat and wide, there is a river passing through the north, the street pavilion is ruined and the small city stands in the middle, not far from the south, there is a high mountain that rises abruptly, and the mountains on the north and south sides are not connected, it seems extremely strange.

Ma Jian personally led people into the small city to inspect, and there were traces left by Feng Yongan's camp.

The broken bricks and tiles have been cleaned up, and the dangerous walls have been torn down, leaving only some solid foundations, and the holes dug during the erection of the piles can still be seen.

Ma Yan smiled and said, "This Feng Mingwen is just to stay for one night, and he will not hesitate to spend his efforts to repair this deserted city, which is really a bit redundant." ”

However, Liu Yin beside him said, "Feng Langjun strictly abides by the method of marching and setting up a village, but he is cautious. ”

When Ma Tan heard this, there was a trace of displeasure in his heart.

He knew that if Feng Yong's attack on the pass was successful, there would be basically no major incident here in Jieting, and the prime minister sent him over just in case, so he was a little contemptuous of this trip.

Now when I hear Liu Yin's words again, my heart arouses arrogance: This kind of method of establishing a village is just old-fashioned and stupid, what is the praise?

At that moment, he took the lead out of the city, and when he saw the abrupt rise of the mountain, his heart moved, and he asked people to lead his horse over and go up the mountain to inspect it.

When he walked to the mountain, he saw that the top of the mountain was flat and wide, and it was enough to arrange for ten thousand people to camp.

From the mountain, not only is everything under the view visible, but even the Guanlong Avenue from the east has been truncated by this mountain.

Looking to the west, the city of Luoyang behind is also under the cover of this mountain.

"The art of war is cloudy: under the high eye, the momentum is like splitting bamboo. You say, 'If a great army charges down from this mountain, who will stop it?' ”

Ma Tan pointed to the Guanlong Avenue in front of him and asked thoughtfully.

Liu Yin nodded and praised, "This mountain is indeed a godsend, and General Ma's vision is indeed unique." If you set up a village in the street pavilion, and then arrange a partial division on this mountain, and each other is a horn trend, Cao thief is several times more than me, and he can't pass. ”

Ma Tan smiled smugly.

Guanlong Avenue, along the Longshan Coiled up, the highest is Guanshan, also known as Longdi, Longban.

On the eastern slope of the top of Guanshan Mountain, there is a flat land that can accommodate more than 100 households.

Longguan was built here.

Along the Guanlong Avenue, the Later Han Dynasty had set up a lot of dock pavilions, after the Qianghu Rebellion in Liangzhou, the Qiang people set fire to Longguan, and the dock pavilions along the way were all destroyed.

After Cao Cao pacified the rebellion of Ma Chao in Liangzhou, in order to be able to alert Longguan on the eastern slope of Guanshan in advance, several dock pavilions were built in dangerous places.

There is still a chill in the night of Longyou in February, if you climb Longshan, the more you go up, the more severe the chill.

In a dock pavilion dozens of miles west of Guanshan, Cao Bing, who was holding a weapon, was awakened by freezing, he looked at the fire pond in the middle of the house, and saw that the fire inside had already been extinguished, leaving only a faint red light, and leaned over to put the branch carefully in, and also carefully blew the air.

"Did you kid oversleep again?"

There was a grunting scolding from behind him.

Cao Bing didn't answer the words of the people behind him, he knew that most of the night had only passed at this time, and his companions would not wake up at this time.

Seeing that the branches were burning again, he stood up, pushed the door and walked out, ready to go and drain the water that had been held down during the night.

The companions in the house were half-asleep and half-awake, feeling the warmth in the fire pit, and subconsciously leaned closer.

After a while, the door was vigorously pushed open with a "bang", and a cold wind swept in.

"What are you doing with such a big door?"

The man next to the fire pit cursed with his eyes half-open.

"Hurry up! The Han army is coming! ”

Someone shouted loudly.

There was a lot of footsteps in the house, and I don't know how many people rushed in.

"What? Where's it going? Why don't the people in front of them let off the beacon smoke? ”

"Attacked at night! It's too late to put it. Many of the brothers who escaped fell down the mountain during the night, and I was the only one who escaped overnight. ”

Someone hurriedly said, "Quick! Hurry up Beacon! ”

As soon as the person who was asleep heard this, he suddenly came to his senses.

"Is the news true? Which pavilion are you from? ”

The person who came took out the token, and after verifying it, the people in the pavilion rushed out with all hands and feet, and lit the wolf smoke that had been prepared a long time ago.

After a while, the Longguan night post on the top of Guan Mountain saw a fire burning in the west.

"Enemy attack!"

Night Sentry's heart tightened, and he shouted, "There is a fire under the mountain!" ”

The city soon began to get flustered.

"Discovered?"

Zhao Guang looked at the fire in front of him with some regret.

"Yes. There are still two docks that have not been unplugged, but it's a pity. ”

Guan Long, who was dressed differently from the sergeant, had a somewhat ashamed expression on his face.

"It doesn't matter, the army can come here so smoothly, you have already made a great contribution."

Zhao Guang did not hesitate to praise, "Go down and receive the reward." ”

After dawn, the Cao Jun sentry who stayed behind to investigate the situation looked at the army coming out of the morning mist, winding like a long snake, and his face couldn't help but turn pale.

Feng Yong gasped, the white mist spit out of his mouth did not dissipate for a long time, and the cold air was inhaled into his lungs, slightly painful.

Next to the gate, the river melts, whimpering down, and it is extremely clear.

Guanlong Avenue is called the Great Road, but in fact, it is just a road opened up by using the valley and the river valley.

Most of the stones paved on the road are made of local materials, from the rivers and mountains.

The horse's hooves stepped on the stones, occasionally sparking a spark.

Looking up, the undulating mountains are flickering far and near in the misty clouds.

Looking down, the forest sea is vast, and the dark clouds are wrapped around the mountainside, and I only feel that in the middle of it, the cold is even more penetrating to the skin.

It's really hard to cross.

Even the Nanxiang soldiers, when they arrived at this kind of terrain, began to appear to lack stamina.

Fortunately, most of the troops in Feng Yong's hands were from Nanzhongyi, and at this time, they showed their advantages more and more.

The survival of the last two dock pavilions of the Cao army won the most critical preparation time for Longguan on the top of Guan Mountain.

Longguan immediately sent men and horses to quickly run down the mountain, in order to pass the news of the Han army's attack to Cao Zhen, the general who was holding the Han army in Yicheng, as soon as possible.

A day later, Feng Yong led the Chinese army out of the valley, turned a corner, and suddenly saw a boxy fortress standing on the hillside in front of him, looking down on him like a tiger.

At the foot of the mountain there is a small stream that comes from the west and joins the river from the northwest, and you can see that the river is clearly turning to the east.

"Brother, it's not easy to camp here, there is no place where you can arrange all the troops, so you can only camp separately."

Zhao Guang, who arrived a day early, came over and said with some concern.

"It's okay, there is little flat land in this mountain, and it is most normal to be separated from each other."

Feng Yong nodded.

As he spoke, he looked at the Guancheng that was looking at his army and asked, "How is the situation in this Guancheng?" ”

"The city is east-west, each wall is about a mile long, there is an urn city in the east of the city, and there is only a city wall in the west of the city. On weekdays, there are only 1,000 people stationed there. ”

"However, according to the rangers, another group of Cao soldiers came from the bottom of the mountain a few days ago, and now I don't know how many people there are in the city."

Zhao Guang looked at Guan Cheng and said with some concern, "This pass is built on the top of Guan Mountain, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and I don't know how many lives it will take." ”

Guanlong Avenue here, east-west direction from Longguan through.

Only by entering Longguan can we continue to go east and go down the mountain.

Feng Yong looked at Guan Cheng on the flat ground on the hillside, and he was also a little anxious in his heart.

He stepped forward, wanting to see more clearly, but he didn't expect to pay attention, and stepped into the river, and the cold water made his heart move, and asked, "Where is the water source?" Where does the water source in the city come from? ”

In the original history, Ma Dazui was because he occupied the mountain, but did not occupy the water source, was surrounded by people, almost died of thirst, and could not rush down the mountain, which led to the chaos of the army's morale and returned with a fiasco.

When Feng Yong thought of this, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and he always felt as if he had forgotten something.

However, capturing the Longguan in front of him was the most urgent thing for him to plan, and Feng Yong quickly forced himself to calm down and think about how to break the pass.

This Longguan is built on the top of the mountain, even if it is a well, it is difficult to see the water layer, and the water source in the city depends on the mountain spring river water nine times out of ten.

If we can find out the water source in the city, maybe there will be a way.

Zhao Guang naturally didn't know what Feng Yong was thinking in his heart, he heard Feng Yong's question, his heart moved, but he didn't understand it for a while, and said a little apologetically, "How to draw water in the city, but the junior brother has not paid attention. ”

Feng Yong nodded, "It's okay, it's good that you can find out the general situation of it." When marching and fighting, only when you are in front of you and see with your own eyes can you know what the real situation is. ”

Feng Yong squinted at Guancheng and said, "The art of war is cloudy: a large city with few people, small and numerous, with little food and no firewood and water, is not a defensible city." How tall is this city? ”

"It's four feet." (The length of the Han Dynasty was shorter than that of later generations.) One zhang is more than two meters, less than three meters. If it is four zhang, it is about nine and a half meters. ）

Feng Yong listened and nodded.

"The city wall of four zhang, the bottom wall should be two zhang thick, and the head of the wall is one zhang wide, the four walls of this city are more than one mile long, so calculated, there will be no more than three thousand people in it at most."

"No matter how much water and food can be supplied, too many soldiers are crowded in such a small city, which will be very inconvenient." (The Han system is a little more than 400 meters.) ）

Zhao Guang was surprised when he heard this, "How can my brother know?" ”

"The art of war taught by the prime minister."

Feng Yong felt at this time that Zhuge Old Demon really deserved to be a character who entered the Martial Ancestral Hall, just such a military knowledge point, if he didn't tell himself, he was afraid that he would not be able to react for the rest of his life.

It really makes sense to spread a sentence of truth and a fake spread of 10,000 books.

Zhao Guang listened, and then remembered that the prime minister had personally sent a book to his brother and asked him to read it well, and he couldn't help but feel a little envious in his heart.

The prime minister treats his brother like a disciple.

I only heard Feng Yong pointing at Guancheng with a horsewhip again, "This pass was originally intended to cut off the connection between Longyou and Guanzhong, and it can be seen from the urn city in the east of the city and not in the west of the city. ”

"Coupled with the fact that the terrain is high in the west and low in the east, it is very beneficial to us. If the city is attacked from the east, it will be attacked from the back, but it will not be taken even if the blood is flowing like a river. However, attacking the city from the west, the terrain is higher, and as long as you are willing to exert your strength, you can conquer it sooner or later. ”

When Guanlong Avenue arrives here, it is all paved with cobblestones, which is convenient for walking, and there is no need to worry about bad road conditions.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also passed by here in a car, and then a thunderbolt came down from the sky, which shocked the dragon body of the Han Tianzi, so he named this pass the Great Earthquake Pass.

Of course, the point is not here, the point is that the east and west gates of the city can be driven.

"You go and make arrangements, and have someone send a message to the people in Guancheng, telling them: I will give them a day to think about it, and if it is surrendered before this time tomorrow, I will not embarrass them at all, and they can stay as long as they want."

"Except for weapons and armor, you can take away your own things, and you won't detain half a point."

"If it's more than a day, after breaking the customs, the tun chief and above will be killed."

"If it's more than two days, the team rate will be cut after breaking the level."

"If it is more than three days, even the chief will be cut after breaking the customs."

After this deadline, Zhang He may arrive at any time, and it is useless to cut any further.

Therefore, at this most critical juncture, we cannot talk about any mercy, and the psychological tactics will be sent first.

As for the later one, if it really breaks through, of course it won't be cut - how valuable is labor?

Nowadays, the source of labor in Nanzhong has been depleted, and there is an urgent need to open up new sources of labor.

The five places in the textile workshop were sold, and the Shuzhong family handed over the money and grain, and suddenly the news of the Northern Expedition came, and I don't know how many families were gritting their teeth and stabbing villains in secret.

After tying the villain, he has to ask for the blessing of the ghosts and gods in the sky, and the Han must succeed in the Northern Expedition - otherwise, where will the wool come from?

It feels so sour.

If you want to resume farming as soon as possible and open up pastures as soon as possible, how can you do it without labor?

Feng Langjun is still very conscientious, and now he is already planning for everyone.
