Chapter 416: Zhang Liang's uneasiness

Xiang Yu trusted Shan Xiongxin, which does not mean that Zhang Liang will believe it.

Zhang Liang is now the number two person in the Southern Route Army, holding the command of the 100,000-strong army in Yuzhou, and his views also play a decisive role.

At this time, Zhang Liang's brows were tightly furrowed, he rarely showed such an expression, he had guessed whether Shan Xiongxin had responded by deception, but the current situation was beyond his expectations.

"Isn't Shan Xiongxin a fraud? But really take refuge? ”

Zhang Liang thought about it and didn't find any flaws, after all, what kind of fraud needs to reach this point? Even at the ......

"Forget it, let's see if Shan Xiongxin can complete the plan, if it really can, just believe him." Zhang conscience said secretly.

On the other side, Xiang Yu continued to talk to Ji Bu, and gave orders without even asking Zhang Liang about many things.

In the face of Xiang Yu's attitude of directly ignoring himself, although Zhang Liangzhi was very dissatisfied, his face did not show the slightest, if he clashed with Xiang Yu at this time, he would only benefit from the Han army.

"What? Not only were the equipment defending the city completely destroyed in Yique Pass, but even the grain depot was burned down again? ”

Xiang Yu's voice unconsciously became louder, and Zhang Liang's brows furrowed again.

"Qin Hao gave a death order, as soon as the city gate was broken, the Han army immediately burned all the supplies, and it was too late for the general to stop it." Jibu explained.

"This bastard." Xiang Yu gritted his teeth and scolded.

Zhang Liang's expression couldn't help but become a little serious, because he had already vaguely guessed Qin Hao's intentions.

Xiang Yu's 200,000 elites marched from Luoyang to Yique Pass, and the grain depots of all the cities along the way had been burned, and not only could not collect grain from the people of Sizhou, but had to consume grain and grass to relieve the people of Sizhou, which also made the logistics pressure of the Yellow Turban very great.

Is this an attempt to bring down our army by dragging it down? But Qin Hao, you can't wait for this day. Zhang conscience said secretly.

Seeing that Xiang Yu had been ignoring himself, Zhang Liang had no choice but to brush up his sense of existence, so he said to Xiang Yu: "General, the current guard of Xuanyuan Pass, Su Lie, is a difficult opponent, and Zhang Liang and Xu Huang are assisted by three good generals, should our army take Xuanyuan Pass and consider going south to Guangcheng Pass?" ”

Qin Hao has 100,000 troops in his hands, and Yique Pass, Xuanyuan Pass and Guangcheng Pass each have 10,000 defenders, so the total number of soldiers and horses in Qin Hao's hands is actually 130,000.

After returning to Yique Pass, for the follow-up plan, Qin Hao deliberately carried out a large-scale deployment of troops.

Qin Hao deliberately placed the main army camp in the middle of the three passes, which in the eyes of outsiders, as long as the troops in any pass were insufficient, the main force in the middle could support them, which also cleared the problem of the number of defenders of Yique Pass.

Xuanyuan Pass is the only checkpoint to increase troops, and the candidate for the guard general was also replaced by Qin Hao with Su Dingfang, and three of the five good generals were assisted, which can be said to be foolproof.

Xiang Yu had just formulated a strategy to go south, but in an instant, Zhang Liang stood up against it, Xiang Yu already had an opinion on Zhang Liang, and when he saw this, he was naturally very unhappy, and said to Zhang Liang with an indifferent face:

"It's because Su Dingfang is not easy to deal with, so this general will let Xuanyuan Pass go for the time being. As long as Guangcheng Pass is taken, Xuanyuan Pass will become a lonely city, as long as the food in the pass is exhausted, the soldiers can take Xuanyuan Pass without blood, so why should the generals let the soldiers make senseless sacrifices. ”

In the information of the Yellow Turban, there are 20,000 defenders in Xuanyuan Pass, and all the equipment to defend the city is complete, and there are some good guards to guard it, which is obviously not a good bone to gnaw.

And the reason why Xiang Yu will let it go for the time being is only because Xuanyuan Pass does not have much threat.

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhang Liang's eyes, he didn't expect Xiang Yu to see it so thoroughly.

Although there is not the slightest loophole in what Xiang Yu said, Zhang Liang is always faintly uneasy in his heart, but he can't say what it is.

"General, for the sake of prudence, it is better to take Xuanyuan Pass first, in case our army and the Han army face off, it will be very troublesome for this part of the Han army to come and make trouble."

Xiang Yu obviously didn't take Zhang Liang's admonition to heart, what he was thinking about now was to go to Guangchengguan and see if Shan Xiongxin's plan could be realized.

"Long-winded." Xiang Yu looked impatient, and said, "I, Xiang Yu, will never let my soldiers consume it senselessly. ”

"But ......"

"No, don't forget, I'm the commander."

Seeing that Xiang Yu was so stubborn, Zhang Liang didn't know how to persuade him again, so he had to comfort himself in his heart.

If everything really goes well on Guangcheng's side, maybe everything will end here.

…………

Xiang Yu's 200,000 Yellow Turban elites only repaired at Yique Pass for three days, and when the grain and grass and garrison troops in the rear arrived, they were handed over immediately, and then the whole army continued to march south to Guangcheng Pass.

Zhang Jiao of Luoyang also knew the importance of Yique Pass, so the army that came to garrison had a full 30,000 troops.

Of course, their task is not only to ensure that Yique Pass is not lost, but also to force the 20,000 Han troops in Xuanyuan Pass to surrender when the food in Xuanyuan Pass is exhausted.

Guangchengguan was the first line of defense in the south of Sizhou, but now it has become the last line of defense for the Han to protect Jingzhou.

Once Guangchengguan falls, Xiang Yu can respond to the Yuzhou Yellow Turban to attack Nanyang on both sides, and then drive straight into Jingzhou.

The 200,000-strong army marched to Guangcheng Pass, and without the usual challenge, it began a three-day continuous siege.

The Yellow Turban's intention to take Guangcheng Pass did not seem to be urgent, and the siege battle was carried out in an orderly manner under the command of Xiang Yu, and Yue Fei naturally met the battle calmly.

After three days of siege, the losses of both sides were still within the bearable range.

"Ding Dong, under the command of Yue Fei's defense of the city, kill 15,000 enemy troops, lose 5,000 yourself, and reward the host with 10,000 war points, which have been automatically exchanged for 100 summon points for the host, and the host currently has a total of 1,850 summon points."

Looking at the dense army of yellow turbans under the city tower, Qin Hao couldn't help but sigh, and said in his heart: This day is finally coming.

Xiang Yu slowly drove to the front of the city and shouted to Qin Hao on the city tower: "Qin Hao, now that most of the world has been captured by my Yellow Turban Army, and the Han Dynasty can't even defend Luoyang, the capital of the country, why do you continue to do that mantis arm as a car?" ”

"I, Qin Hao, are watching from this Guangcheng Pass, and see if you Xiang Yu can crush my mantis arm." Qin Hao responded unceremoniously.

Xiang Yu's eyes were slightly cold, and he said in his heart: I don't know how to lift, I will have you look good later.

Xiang Yu didn't think much either, it was obviously impossible to succeed, but he continued to persuade Qin Hao to surrender, and Qin Hao naturally would not be moved by Xiang Yu's words, so he shouted and shouted that the two sides were actually torn apart from the air.

The main general scolded each other like a shrew, this scene is rare, and the soldiers on both sides are also eating melons, and the masses don't think it's a big deal, and they look lively with interest.
