Zhang Yang, the word Zhizhi uncle, is a native of Yunzhong County, Bingzhou.

I don't know if it's because of the low level of education in Liangji Erzhou, or if it's easy to feed a random person.

Zhang Yang's table word and Li Dao's table word can be described as evenly matched, and some fight.

Li Dao's words are childish, giving people a natural and cute feeling;

The flamboyant cousin Uncle is simply a strengthened version of 'natural cuteness', does it mean that he is a cute 'uncle'?

When Zhang Yang occupied Shangdang County and served as the Taishou, he was indeed worthy of his 'great' expression.

Stupid enough, cute enough, stupid enough.

Although Zhang Yang was born as a martial artist, his personality is very generous.

Generosity is an excellent quality, but the degree of openness and generosity is outrageous, to the point of cowardice.

Tolerance is not cowardice, and here it gets the most imperfect explanation – tolerance to cowardice.

It is said that one of Zhang Yang's subordinates once conspired with others to rebel, and someone secretly told Zhang Yang about it.

When dealing with rebellion, there is generally no negotiation, and you can kill it; If you can't kill them for some reason, try to keep them away from the center of power.

But Zhang Yang, the cute 'big uncle', used a method that no one else had used - crying and criticizing his subordinates and understanding them, reasoning with reason, and influencing others.

People are going to rebel, what do you want the army to do if you are useful?

Of course, Zhang Yang, the cute 'big uncle', doesn't know this truth.

Then there was no then, Zhang Yang acted as if nothing had happened, and still let his subordinates lead the troops.

It was this style of being very indulgent to his subordinates and unprincipled to dominate his subordinates that was known to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who were close to the flamboyant territory.

These two heroes must treat such an 'outstanding' character and take advantage of the fire to rob.

As a result, Yang Chou, the Zhonglang general under Zhang Yang, became the spokesperson of Cao Cao's forces;

Zhonglang will be solid and become the spokesperson of Yuan Shao's forces, although Yuan Shao is the 'big brother' on the surface, but when it is time to do it, there is no ambiguity. This is something that the 'little brother' didn't learn.

......

After receiving Han Cheng's order, Huang Zhong, who was in Taiyuan County, immediately gathered 10,000 troops and hurried to Huguan.

Although Huang Zhong has an impatient personality, he has been in the army for many years and is still very cautious about strategic places like Huguan.

The first reason why Huguan is so important is that Huguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Huguan is like a link, tightly connected with Jizhou.

However, the topography of Huguan is high in the east and low in the west, and the state is in the west and Jizhou is in the east.

If the pot is in Zhang Yang's hands, it will not be a big problem, because Zhang Yang's troops are not good, even if he leads the army to attack, he is not the opponent of the Fenwu army.

But if Huguan was controlled by Yuan Shao, who was strong and strong, the situation would be very different.

According to the advantages of geographical location, Yuan Shaofang was condescending, and only needed to station 5,000 troops in Huguan, and Han Cheng had to station at least 10,000 troops under the pass to defend on the side of Bingzhou.

And if Han Cheng wants to take Huguan, he needs at least 20,000 troops.

The second reason is the importance of the position of the kettle close.

Han Cheng went south to Shangdang County this time, and he will inevitably include Shangdang County in the territory.

If Huang Zhong takes Huguan, Jizhou can be attacked, retreated, and defended; If Yuan Shao took it, it would be like a sword hanging from Han Cheng's waist, which could attack at any time and disrupt Han Cheng's deployment.

Therefore, the strategic location of Huguan is extremely important to Han Cheng.

When Huang Zhong's army arrived at Huguan, a detachment of the intelligence battalion came to pray:

"There are a total of 5,000 men and horses in Huguan, and the guards will be Zhonglang and will be solid.

This stubborn, born as a black mountain thief, experienced in a hundred battles, once led people to attack Yanzhou, but was defeated by Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao, so he took refuge in Zhang Yang. ”

The infiltration of the intelligence battalion into all forces is not complete, and it is not easy to get information of this level.

After listening to the advice of the intelligence battalion, Huang Zhong faintly felt in his heart that this might be a tough battle.

As the main general, if you can win the pot pass with the least loss, you will never attack the pass.

Huang Zhong had a plan, selected two hundred elite soldiers under his command, disguised as the caravan of the Taiyuan Wang clan, and wanted to mix into the pass through wealth, and then take the Huguan with the outside and the inside.

However, after many wars, this person had already sent a scout horse fifty miles away from Huguan, and knew the news of the arrival of Huang Zhong's army early, so he issued a customs closure order, strictly prohibiting any caravan from entering and leaving.

Huang Zhong saw that his soldiers returned in vain, so he knew that this plan would not work, so he had to lead a large army to storm Huguan.

......

Kettle off

Huang Zhongce immediately stepped forward and shouted loudly at the Guannei: "Zhenggu, Zhang Yang is dead, we are ordered by Han Cheng, the governor of the state, to take over Huguan." ”

Huang Zhong's move first spread the rumor that Zhang Yang was dead, which disintegrated the loyalty of the soldiers under Zheng Gu;

Then he waved the banner of 'righteousness' and told the soldiers in the city that our move was on the orders of the governor and was justified.

Zheng Gu followed Zhang Yang's men, and heard of the name of Huang Zhong, the number one general under Han Cheng, and knew that the comer was not good.

After listening to Huang Zhong's words, Zheng Gu understood what Huang Zhong meant, and shouted loudly to the city:

"Don't lie to us, my family is too guarded by Lord Zhang Yang to lead an army of 15,000 to defend Changzi County, how can it be so easy to break?

If my family is too guarded to die, can you show us his head? As long as you can take it out, I will immediately offer the pot off.

Besides, we are all ordinary people in Shangdang County, and we only know that we are too flamboyant, and we don't know any state pastor Han Cheng. ”

When Huang Zhong heard that he was so nonsense, he was quite unreasonable.

Suddenly became angry, and shouted angrily: "You only have 5,000 soldiers and horses, but we have 10,000 horses, you will lose this battle, it is better to surrender as soon as possible, I can still let you go home and farm." ”

After Huang Zhong said this, the soldiers in the city exchanged their heads and whispered.

Seeing this situation, he knew that it was not good, so he shouted loudly: "Our Taishou has already asked Jizhou Mu Yuan Shao for help, and I believe that the 30,000 troops in Jizhou will arrive at Huguan in a few days." ”

The words of the firm made the soldiers in the Huguan who were about to move because of Huang Zhong's words instantly settle down.

After many wars, his head is very smart, otherwise he would have died on the battlefield.

Although he served as a lieutenant general under Zhang Yang, he knew that Zhang Yang's indecisive character would be difficult to achieve great things, so he had already secretly taken refuge in Yuan Shao in private.

It is precisely for this reason that he gave up the opportunity to lead an army of 10,000 to defend Hanoi County, but chose to lead 5,000 soldiers to guard Huguan.

He knew in his heart: "As long as you hold the important transportation place of Huguan, no matter what happens in Shangdang County, you will have great value to Yuan Shao." ”

Huang Zhong under the city heard that Yuan Shao's army would not arrive in the future, and he became even more anxious, knowing that it would be useless to continue, so he ordered: "The whole army will attack." ”

The terrain of Huguan is high in the east and low in the west, and the 5,000 soldiers of the Fenwu Army are on the west side, in a state of attacking from above, and they are attacking Huguan with their heads up.

Standing on the wall of Huguan, he looked at the Fenwu army attacking with his head up, and said proudly in his heart: "Hmph! With such a topography, you Fenwu Army also want to take Huguan? It's just a dream. ”

After a cup of tea, the attacking Fenwu soldiers lost at least 300 people, but not a single one of them was able to storm the city wall.

Huang Zhong was distressed, so he could only secretly say in his heart: "This can't be done, the soldier's attack is not strong enough, and it can't cause effective damage to the pass." ”

At this time, Huang Zhong couldn't care about the preciousness of the Vermilion Bird Army, and shouted loudly to the Vermilion Bird Army: "The Vermilion Bird Army listens to the order, and a thousand people are in a wave, and the whole army attacks and suppresses the city head with bows and arrows." ”

After receiving Huang Zhong's order to attack, the Suzaku Army slowly stepped forward in a group of 1,000 people to attack the echelon, and stopped when it was about one hundred and thirty steps away from the city.

As he watched the arrival of the Suzaku Army, he saw that everyone was holding a big bow and carrying many arrows behind him, so he knew that this was the enemy's archers who had stepped forward.

Seeing that the Suzaku Army suddenly stopped, he said in a solid heart:

"What is this for? At such a distance, even if you shoot arrows condescendingly at the head of the city, when the bow and arrow reach the Fenwu army, you will have no strength and accuracy. ”

When he was thinking about it, he saw the soldiers of the Suzaku Army under the city stretching their bows and arrows, and shooting arrows at the head of the city.

The Vermilion Bird Army is the original strongbow battalion, each soldier is not only proficient in archery, but also has extraordinary arm strength, a distance of one hundred and fifty paces, let alone one hundred and thirty steps.

When Su Gu saw the Vermilion Bird Army release arrows, he laughed in his heart:

"Hmph, this Huang Zhong is just in name. It is said that it is because of the relationship of Master Han Cheng that he became famous in the Fenwu Army, and when I saw it today, it was nothing more than that.

In this place of Huguan, we are condescending, from top to bottom; They raised their heads and attacked from the bottom up, and they dared to shoot at us, which was really a way to die. ”

He said to his six hundred archers, "Shoot them all." ”

If he knew that this group of archers was the "strong bow battalion" that defeated the elite Youzhou Xianbei army head-on on the grassland, he would not dare to hold it up like this.

But the words have been spoken, and the result can only be resigned to fate.

Han Cheng's nearly 100,000 Fenwu army selected 8,000 good archers, and after some teaching by the 'Arrow God' Huang Zhong, archery skills are not ordinary people.

The 1,000 Suzaku soldiers who were the first to shoot arrows at the city took the lead in killing or wounding the archers on the city wall with just one round of arrows.

He was shocked, and said in his heart: "The archers in this county are too powerful, just one salvo shot and injured nearly two hundred archers on our side?" ”

Hurriedly commanded the archers: "Get down and dodge the bows and arrows." ”

Although he reacted quickly, he was still a beat slower, and another round of arrows struck, and the archers on the city wall suffered more than 200 casualties again.

Looking at the casualties, he had to lie on the city wall, dodging the bows and arrows fired from below.

Huang Zhong saw that the head of Huguan City had been suppressed by the Vermilion Bird Army, so he said to the soldiers of the Fenwu Army: "Go to the city, attack!" ”

This siege was not as heavy as the first siege.

The soldiers in the city did not dare to show their heads, and after a short time, they were attacked by the Fenwu army.

As the number of soldiers of the Fenwu Army in the upper city increased, the Suzaku Army under the city also stopped firing arrows.
