Chapter 412: Looking down on Guanzhong
As Jiang Wei led the villagers to attach themselves to the Han army, even if a letter was sent to Jicheng, the lord Bo Yin Xian and Gong Cao Liangxu were his friends, and when the Han army was approaching the city, they surrendered the city.
Subsequently, Liu Bei once again thought that the two of them had the merit of dedicating the city, and Yin Xian was the commander of Tianshui County, Liang Xu, etc., and Jiang Wei, who was attached, was young but excellent in martial arts, and knew how to use soldiers.
So far, it has lasted for about half a month, and the three counties of Longyou have been pacified.
The plan has been decided.
Emperor Liu Bei of the Han Dynasty sent the hussar general Ma Chao to lead 5,000 Xiliang knights to continue to conquer the counties along the west with his own prestige and befriend the hearts of the Qiang people, and then personally led the main force of 40,000 to ride eastward.
All the way to Kema's, Jingyang and other cities, across the Jingshui has been north, and is close to the stable town of Linjing.
In this Northern Expedition, Liu Bei's environment was far stronger than Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition in the original history.
During Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, the older generation of civil and military people were almost all lost, such as Ma Mengqi, who had an incomparable advantage over Liangzhou, died of illness, which led to the response of the three counties, but they still needed to spend energy to stabilize the land west of Longshan and continue to bother to attack Longxi and Hexi.
Like now, Liu Bei only needs to send Ma Chao to solve Hexi's worries!
It is precisely because of this that Zhuge Liang in the original history could not immediately lead the main force eastward, so he had no choice but to send a partial army to garrison the choke point Street Pavilion to resist the large-scale attack of the Wei army.
The most critical point is that Liu Bei of the Northern Expedition is the Shu Han Dynasty in Jingyi Erzhou and has been recuperating for several years, and he has already had enough soldiers and food, complete armor, and led the peak civil and military lineup to go all out on the Northern Expedition.
But Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition in the original history was a weak Northern Expedition in a state with heavy losses and rebellions.
The situation between the two is completely different!
……
At this time, when they reached the city of Linjing, the Han army also encountered severe resistance.
Since the response of the three counties, Ma Zun and other Taishou led the old troops to gather and annex Guo Huai, and considering the strength of the Han army, Guo Huai also took the initiative to lead the people to retreat and stationed in Linjing to build a defense line to resist the enemy.
Linjing is an important town of stability, if the city once broken, then the northern defense line of Guanzhong will collapse in its entirety, and the Han army can take Chang'an directly along the Jingshui, and there will be no hindrance along the way.
What's more, if Fengyi County is occupied, it can completely connect the two banks of the Yellow River through Xiayang Port.
At that time, the Han army once again dispatched the partial army into Jin, and the situation in the western part of the Wei army was critical!
Merely.
Guo Huai had already built a stable defensive line, and although the Han army had besieged the city for several days, it could not pull it out.
At this time, it was also learned through the wire report that the Wei general Zhang He had personally led more than 10,000 people to the west to join Guo Huai.
After getting this situation, Liu Bei discussed with the advisers, decided to suspend the siege, and led the people to retreat more than 30 miles to form a confrontation with Linjing.
In the big tent.
"Wen Chang, our army is now unable to conquer Linjing in a short period of time and the enemy general Zhang He has led the crowd to help, and now after the discussion between me and Xiaozhi, I am afraid that you can only cross the river from the Qianghu region in the north to attack the land of Sanjin."
"It's just that if you can't conquer Linjing, then you will inevitably fight alone, and you will not be prepared to help."
"In such a situation, you can still dare to act according to orders?"
For a while, Liu Bei looked at Wei Yan with old eyes and said straightforwardly.
Hearing this, Wei Yan laughed and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister is ordered!" ”
Now that the order has been handed down, Wei Yan personally selected the elite and led more than 10,000 people to take advantage of the night to cross the river along the border of Qianghu.
Three days later.
Zhanghe's department went west along Weishui and had reached the outskirts of Linjing.
However, he did not settle in the city, but stationed troops in the southwest of Linjing, forming a distant echo with it.
Camps.
"Filial piety, Zhang He has followed the Cao thief to fight for many years, he has good military achievements, and he also has generals, this time he will coordinate his troops as a roadblock for my army to advance eastward, how is this good?"
As soon as the words fell, Fa Zheng on the side thought hard, and said in a half-loud voice: "Today's plan, I'm afraid that the only way to defeat the enemy's main force is to fight with the Wei army." ”
After he said that, Liu Bei immediately understood what he meant, so he looked back at the generals and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, now the puppet Wei general Zhang He is stationed opposite our army, I don't know who is willing to lead the vanguard to take the lead in charging into battle to defeat the enemy army?" ”
As soon as these words fell, Huang Zhong, who was already over seventy years old, with white hair and a white beard, was still energetic and shouted: "Your Majesty, please also allow me to be the vanguard general, and the last general will definitely cut Zhang He for the army and clear an obstacle for the eastward march." ”
Huang Zhong's request for battle was immediately shocked.
Originally, Liu Bei considered that Huang Zhong was already seventy years old, the sword had no eyes on the battlefield, and the danger was unpredictable, so he planned to let him care for the elderly at home, but he couldn't stand Huang Zhong's bitter pleading before approving him to join the army.
Now that Huang Zhong asked for battle, Liu Bei's pupils suddenly shrank, and he hurriedly waved his hand to stop it: "Han Sheng, how is this possible?" You are already seventy years old, and the battlefield is extremely dangerous, and the blessings and misfortunes are unpredictable. ”
"It's definitely not going to work."
As soon as these words fell, Liu Bei put on his face with a resolute look.
But Huang Zhong is often this temper, insisting on surrendering his hands to fight: "Your Majesty, the difference in this statement, in ancient times, Lian Po was over seventy years old and could still have the heart to serve Zhao Guo and eat, and now Zhong is similar to his age, my Han division has suffered resistance, how can I retreat?" ”
"I hope Your Majesty's approval will let the last general go into battle to kill the enemy."
In the last words, Huang Zhong even pleaded with tears in his eyes.
"Han Sheng, don't say it, you are old, how can I watch you in danger?"
Liu Bei said with a sad look on his face.
At this moment, both the monarch and the minister were moved, and the courtiers were willing to share the worries of the country, but the monarch was concerned about his life.
The generals from the side were also gradually moved by it.
After half a ring, Zhao Yun stepped forward and said, "Brother Han Sheng, you are old, this battle is still from Yun." ”
After that, he didn't wait for Huang Zhong to react, and immediately hugged his fists and asked to fight.
Seeing this, Liu Bei hurriedly responded: "Okay! Zilong bravely crowned the three armies, and his courage is known to the world, and this battle is led by you as the vanguard, and our army will definitely be able to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. ”
In just a few words, the position of the vanguard commander began to be established.
Seeing this, Huang Zhong suddenly became anxious, and even pleaded sharply, but was tightly suppressed by Liu Bei.
……
Just when the situation of the two sides under Linjing City was tense, Zhang Fei in the direction of Yixian County also led the crowd to abuse the Quartet and disturb the places in Guanzhong.
At this moment, Cao Zhen, the general of Wei Zhengxi, also actively led the army to fight, rectified the armor, deterred Zhang Fei's subordinates on the one hand, and assembled on standby on the other hand, ready to assist Zhang He and Guo Huai at any time to completely defeat the Shu army.
The Wei army has now taken a defensive position on the western front and is waiting for an opportunity.
Wait for another time when you can counterattack.
