After leading 5,000 troops, Sun Qi did not pause for a moment and rushed directly to Tangguan.

At this time, the battle was still going on.

Xiang Ge had already received the news.

One day, when the troops were discussed, the general couldn't help but mention this matter, and said: "Xiang Shuai, Tangguan is behind the main side of our army, although it is a small pass, but the Liang army may march here, I heard that the king appointed Sun Qi as a general, only 5,000 soldiers are stationed, our side, is it to send some more soldiers and horses, be prepared." ”

"No need." Xiang Ge directly refused, and sneered: "Sun Qi, nobody, Ben Shuai has also heard about the court, he boasted about Haikou in front of the king, saying that he couldn't hold Tangguan, and cut off his head, when the time comes, see how he can get off the stage!" ”

As the commander of Huan State, Xiang Ge has a high position and a wide range of contacts, so of course he can know everything about the court at the first time.

And Sun Qi once said that his command was unfavorable, which made him a little uncomfortable.

is also a soldier person, if King Huan values Sun Qi, then Xiang Ge is undoubtedly jealous, in his opinion, Sun Qi is to elevate himself by belittling him.

Therefore, he was happy to see Sun Qi's defeat.

As for whether Tangguan is lost or not, Xiaoguan is not important at all.

Another partial general said: "But I heard that the last time the Liang army attacked Xishan, it was this Sun Qi who brought it up, which shows that it is somewhat prescient." ”

Hearing this, Xiang Ge's face couldn't help but change, because he didn't see Xue Wu's battle strategy at that time.

Just then, a soldier hurried in:

"Report ~~~~~"

"Marshal Xiang, Liang Jun is calling for battle!"

"How can it be!" Xiang Ge was furious when he heard this: "He Xue Wu really thinks that Ben Shuai is afraid that he will not succeed!?" ”

"Herald the Ministries! Get ready to meet the enemy! ”

On the other side, Tangguan.

After Sun arrived here, he first arranged the defense of the city pass, and then took a few commanders and began to personally survey the local terrain.

This is a small pass of a one-sided city defense, it is not a city, after entering the pass, and then dozens of miles can see the town, but between the town and the Tangguan, there is a huge village.

For generals, you must know the right time and place, and then add people.

In the history of ancient Chinese warfare, there are many examples of using the terrain to detour and win more with less.

After Sun Qi surveyed the nearby terrain, on this day, he also came to the entrance of the village.

He was wearing armor and led a few people, not far away, there was an old man who had just finished working and was carrying a hoe and preparing to return to the village, Sun Qi hurriedly stretched out his hand and called: "That old man——"

Hearing the shout, the old man turned around, first looked left and right, and then walked towards Sun Qi, and asked honestly, "The general called me?" ”

Seeing that the people in the village were simple, Sun Qi also had a smile on his face: "The war is approaching, why are you still working, you should retreat as soon as possible." ”

"Alas!" The old man sighed and said, "What can we little people, what can we do, wherever we escape, it's all to escape from the famine." ”

He is right, under the hegemony of the nations, perennial wars, wars are raging, people flee, starve to death on the way, I don't know how many!

Sun Qi no longer said more on this issue, but changed his words and asked again: "How big is your village?" ”

Hearing this, the old man didn't even think about it, and immediately replied: "This Niujiazhuang is divided into upper and lower villages, there are hundreds of households, the area is very large, it is located in a low area, and it is surrounded by mountains on three sides......

"Only the entrance of the village can enter?"

"Yes."

"That's good." After listening to his explanation, Sun Qi smiled, and then looked at the village not far away, and the surrounding terrain.

At that time, the people were suffering, and most of the villages were dilapidated thatched houses.

After reading it, he looked at the old man again, and said, "Thank you for telling me." ”

"Where does the general say, if there is nothing else to do, the villain will retire." The old man hurriedly said a word, and walked away with the hoe again.

After he left, a commander beside Sun Qi couldn't help it and began to say: "General, you have surveyed here many times, but this is the Guannei, we should be deployed in Tangguan and stick to the pass." ”

Sun Qi didn't answer this question, but still stared at the nearby terrain, and said quietly: "God really help me." ”

Hearing these inexplicable words, several commanders couldn't help but glance at each other.

"This ...... What does the general mean? "Some people are puzzled.

Sun Qi came back to his senses and glanced at him: "The first thing to do in the battle with the Liang army is to master their combat habits. ”

"Let's assume first, if Tangguan is lost, our army is defeated and retreats, after the Liang army enters the pass, what is the first thing they have to do?"

"This ......" the commanders hesitated.

Sun Qi continued: "They will definitely loot Niujiazhuang to replenish the military rations!" This is also the consistent combat habit of the Liang army! ”

"What does the general mean ......"

Sun Qi smiled indifferently: "In this case, then we will invite you into the urn, open the cloth bag, and then tie the mouth of the bag......"

Sun Qi counted three times in one step, and he had not yet defended the city, and had already made an assumption after the loss.

At the same time, we also began to set it up.

More than ten days later.

As he expected, on the main battlefield, Xiang Ge experienced a new defeat, losing more than 30,000 troops, and began to retreat sharply to the rear.

At this time, because of the victory in several battles, the generals of the Liang army were excited, and they had the posture of annexing Huan State in one go.

When the soldiers were discussed, they were all gearing up.

Xue Wu began his next strategic deployment, pointing at the military map with his sword and saying:

"Right now, the Huan army has been defeated, and most of the defense line has been destroyed by our army."

"At this time, the main force of our army should continue to press forward head-on, and at the same time, flank detour, in order to achieve the goal of cutting off the rear army of the Huan army."

"And to complete this tactical policy, Tangguan will become the first place to rush."

"Immediately, General Qu Ze, lead 50,000 troops, march from Tangguan, respond to the main force of our department, and divide the Huan army into two!"

"No!" When the Liang general named Qu Ze heard this, he immediately shook his fists, and then said indifferently:

"Xue Shuai, according to our army's report, there are not many defenders in Tangguan, 50,000 horses, you can take them away as soon as you go!"

Xue Wu glanced at him and said with slight displeasure: "The arrogant soldiers will be defeated!" It's a big no-no, don't you know!? ”

"This, yes! The last will be convicted. Qu Ze hurriedly lowered his head.

"Hurry up and prepare!"

"No!"

As soon as he gave the order, Liang Jun immediately moved.

While continuing to advance on the front, Qu Ze also led an army of 50,000 people, starry and night, and went straight to Tangguan!

Two days later.

"Report ~~~~"

"General, general, the Liang army is coming!"

The herald stammered, looking very flustered, because there were too few men stationed here.

Sun Qi had a calm expression, waved his hand and said: "I know, the Liang army is coming, it's not a matter of time or time, just defend the city." ”
