Tongguan and Pubanjin were not attacked by Cao's army, and Zhang He's Wuguan was the first to welcome 100,000 Cao troops.

Xiahou Yuan was the main general, and Li Dian and Le Jin were the pioneers of the left and right, and they never stopped attacking the city from the beginning.

At dawn and sunset, the troops were withdrawn, and for three days and three nights, the offensive continued unabated.

"General Zhang, should we go out and raid at night, if it goes on like this, this pass will be smashed by Cao's army sooner or later." Some subordinate generals proposed to Zhang He.

"We have a total of 10,000 soldiers, and more than 2,000 have been killed in the past two days, just this little force, go out and send it to Cao Jun to plug his teeth?"

"However, if you always defend like this, it's not a solution, Cao Jun's way of playing is to fight with us in numbers, and this martial pass will be broken sooner or later."

"It's not that I don't want to find a way, it's that there is really no way to think about it, how cunning are Cao Cao, Xiahou Yuan and others? I dare say that at the very least, there are tens of thousands of people hiding in the shadows, waiting for us to sneak out of the customs and sneak attack. ”

Zhang He looked at the group of generals who were a little discouraged and said, "When have you ever seen the Ninth Army lose?" Cheer up. ”

"Yes!" The generals cheered up.

"Don't worry, our current situation, the soldiers of the first battalion left in Chang'an City by the Special Operations Department have already come to see it, and they will definitely report back to Chang'an, do you think the main guild let us die here in vain? Go ahead and guard your place. ”

Zhang He was not wrong, the day after the Wuguan Guard Battle began, Wang Yi, who stayed in Chang'an, got the news.

In Chang'an City, in addition to Wang Yi, there are ministers such as Guo Jia, Wei Zhen and Jia Xu, as well as Lu Su, Lu Meng and Liu Ba.

"Wang Yi, give me a regimental guard, and I will go to Wuguan to destroy that fool in Xiahou Yuan." Lu Meng was the first to jump out and took the initiative to ask for battle.

"No, most of the families of the soldiers of the Ninth Army are in Chang'an City, and none of the guards in Chang'an City can be moved." Wang Yi said very resolutely.

"Wuguan is about to be lost, what family members do you care?" Lu Meng was a little unconvinced.

"Lu Meng, you remember, the soldiers are fighting on the front line, their families, we must protect them, as long as my king is here, there will be no trouble in Chang'an City, unless they step on my corpse and crawl in."

Wang Yi, who had a good face, raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes in front of everyone for the first time, which was very majestic, and Lu Meng pouted and said no more.

"Wang Yi, do you want someone to go to Chen Cang to tell the lord?" Wei Zhen was first-class in governance and advanced in theory, but when he encountered military affairs, he was blind.

"No, the lord is now facing 500,000 Xiliang coalition troops in Chencang, don't distract him, Guo Jia, what do you think?"

"I remember the first time the lord led his troops out of the city to help Cao Cao defeat Zhang Xiao's remnants of the Yellow Turbans, he once took down Zhang Xiao's Shouzhang garrisoned by tens of thousands of people with 1,000 people, and tens of thousands of Cao troops, what are you afraid of?"

"Cao Cao asked Xiahou Yuan to lead the army to attack Wuguan, it was definitely just a pretense, even if he Xiahou Yuan captured Wuguan, it would still be a lofty mountain to the west, Cao Cao would not be stupid enough to attack Wuguan without taking Tongguan." Lu Su followed Guo Jia and said.

Wang Yi stopped talking, took out a small map of Wuguan and looked at it there carefully, for a long time, and looked at Wei Zhen.

"Wei Zhen, you are Chen Liuren, and Cao Cao's subordinates should be familiar with each other, how will Xiahou Yuan be?"

"For the generals to fight bravely, with a strong personality, but not heavy on strategy, his subordinates like to jokingly call him General Baidi."

"General White Ground? Okay, then I'll have a good time with you, General Baidi, come here, go to Qi County quickly, let Xu Shu lead the army back, and tell him that Gan Ning and the others have entered Liangzhou, and there is no need to defend there. ”

"Guo Jia, Lu Su, you two come here."

Wang Yi took the map and explained what he thought to Guo Jia and Lu Su, and Guo Jia and Lu Su had no objection.

"Okay, you two, who is going to partner with Xu Shu?"

"I'll go, Guo Jia and Cao Cao's subordinate Xun Yu are fellow villagers, and they were once valued by Cao Cao, this time it should be Guo Jia who let Cao Jun go once as a return gift." Lu Su said with a smile.

"It's good to let Cao Jun go once, okay, Lu Su, I won't fight with you this time." Guo Jia and Lu Su looked at each other and smiled.

"Why don't you let me go?" Lu Meng began to mumble again.

"When can you figure out why you won't let you go this time, and when will you let you lead." Wang Yi touched the top of Lu Meng's head like a big sister.

"Hmph, men and women don't kiss." Lu Meng craned his neck and avoided his head, which immediately caused a burst of laughter from the audience.

"Everyone, I'll go to pick up Xu Shu on the road, and there will be a period later, waiting for my good news." Lu Su raised his head and left, finally able to show his hand in front of so many masters.

Wuguan was attacked by Cao's army, and Huo Jun of Tongguan also knew.

But this news did not come from Zhang He and Wang Yi, but from a few traveling merchants.

These traveling merchants originally wanted to go out of Tongguan to Hongnong County, but Tongguan had already closed and had to stay in Huayin.

Soon, the news that Wuguan had been violently attacked by hundreds of thousands of Cao troops for three days and three nights flew all over Huayin City.

At this time, Liu Xiongming also came to Huayin with Sun Shangxiang to help Huo Jun garrison Tongguan and Pubanjin.

"Huo Jun, Wuguan was attacked by Cao's army, and there was no movement on our side, did Cao Cao want to capture Guanzhong from Wuguan?"

"Liu Xiongming, you know the terrain of Guanzhong best, if it were you, would you choose to attack Wuguan or Tongguan?"

"Of course, it is Tongguan, as soon as you enter Tongguan, you can go straight to the hinterland of Guanzhong, but after attacking Wuguan, there are still hundreds of miles of Qinling." Liu Xiongming said without hesitation.

"That's right, Wuguan is definitely a cover for Cao Jun, come here, those traveling merchants who came to pass through Hongnong County today will go and secretly arrest one of them."

Soon, a traveling merchant was secretly arrested.

Huo Jun didn't say anything, and after making sure that You Shang was not carrying poison on him, he directly ordered his subordinates to cut off one of his calves.

"Say it yourself, give you a good time, don't say it, slowly remove your meat and feed it to the beasts, and I will let people find out your nine clans and destroy them all."

You Shang was still hesitating, Huo Jun waved the sword in his hand, cut off a piece of flesh directly on his bare arm, threw it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.

"I say, I say!" The spirit of the traveling merchant completely collapsed, and he jumped out like fried beans about what he knew.

It turned out that they were businessmen who bought rare treasures everywhere for a living, and they had long been bought by Cao Cao to help Cao Jun find out the news in Guanzhong.

This time, their task was to spread the news that Wuguan was attacked by hundreds of thousands of Cao troops in Huayin, luring the Huayin defenders to relax their vigilance, and even gallop south to help Wuguan.

"If it happens, how do you contact Cao Jun?"

"We know that there is a mountain road out of Tongguan, although it is difficult to walk, but for traveling merchants like us who walk around, be careful, you can still climb over."

"How many Cao troops are there in Wuguan?"

"I really don't know this, I only know that Cao Jun is indeed already attacking Wuguan."

Huo Jun decided to keep the life of the traveling merchant for the time being.

"Liu Xiongming, it's up to you, I'll give you a company of people, take this traveling merchant to the path he said, if you see someone who wants to go out, don't stop it."

"Understood!"

Liu Xiongming took nearly 100 people and left Huayin with a burlap bag carrying the traveling merchants, and Sun Shangxiang, who got the news, also followed.

(Night attack, cloth cover enemy soldiers to attack, Wang Yi let Gan Ning cut off the horse to save grain and grass)
