The dullness of the second year of Jiaping quickly passed, which is so uneventful, that is to say, although the Sima army and the Bingzhou army were swords, but except for some small fights in the local area, the two sides did not kick off the prelude to the decisive battle at all, and on the whole, the form of confrontation between the two sides was quite calm.

Moreover, in this small fight, only Lu Zhao, who attacked Weize Pass, worked harder, and the battle was slightly more intense, but due to the influence of the terrain, Lu Zhao's army was blocked on the front line of Weize Pass, and could not advance an inch.

Wei Ze Pass, is later known as the world's ninth pass of the Niangzi Pass, the terrain here is complex, the mountain is dangerous, it is the throat of Ji into the Jin Dynasty, Cao Liang sent Xian Hong to lead the left guard battalion to guard here, with the danger to guard, even if Lu Zhao has several times the strength of Zhan Hong, it is also helpless.

However, for the sake of prudence, Cao Liang also sent Liu Jing's right guard battalion to assist in the defense of Leping, cutting off the possibility of Lu Zhao copying the back road, forcing Lu Zhao to attack Weize Pass from the front.

In the face of such a dangerous pass, no matter how high Lu Zhao's fighting spirit is, it is pure fantasy to want to take it.

In fact, judging from Sima Yi's order, he did not require Lu Zhao to take Weize Pass, this attack on Weize Pass is more of a strategic containment, attracting the main force of the Bingzhou Army to the eastern front, Sima Yi's purpose has been achieved, apart from this, Sima Yi really didn't expect Lu Zhao to take Weize Pass and open up the passage into Jin.

But Lu Zhao didn't think so, he had led the army to attack Weize Pass twice before, and both times he was defeated here, losing his troops and losing an inch of land, which made Lu Zhao depressed.

It's just three things, this time Lu Zhao was ordered to attack Weize Pass again, and he secretly made up his mind to take Weize Pass at all costs, otherwise this successive defeats would make him, a dignified general of Zhenbei, lose face.

Therefore, Lu Zhao was still fully prepared for this attack, and Sima Yi did not make time restrictions for this attack, unlike the previous two times, not long after the battle began, the order to retreat followed, which made Lu Zhao a little confused.

This time Sima Yi did not have the requirements of the task, but there was no time limit, which completely gave Lu Zhao a platform to play, he gathered almost all the soldiers and horses in Jizhou, and did his best to kill from Jingcheng to Weize Pass, vowing to be ashamed.

But the danger of Wei Ze Pass is not covered, not to mention that this kind of throat has always been a place where soldiers must fight, no matter whether Sima Jun feints or takes hard, Cao Liang cannot neglect the defense of Wei Ze Pass.

Although he is not a famous general, he is still listed by Cao Liang as the number one candidate to guard Wei Ze Pass.

In fact, to fight this kind of defensive war, as long as you are not greedy and reckless, and you are not negligent, the victory is still quite large, and before leaving, you will get Cao Liang's face-to-face instruction, and after arriving at Wei Ze Pass, you will also implement Cao Liang's tactical arrangements to the letter, so the defense battle of Wei Ze Pass is still easy to fight.

Lu Zhao, who has been repeatedly defeated, will naturally have some impatience, but he will not easily retreat if he does not admit defeat, but instead increases the intensity of the attack.

The winter in the north is the most difficult time for the army to march and fight, and the state army is stationed in the city, the situation is better, Lu Zhao's army can not take the reed pass, can only camp in the wilderness, heavy snowfall, roads are blocked, grain transportation is difficult, many soldiers of the Sima army freeze and starve to death.

The subordinate lieutenant general persuaded Lu Zhao to withdraw his troops and wait until next year's spring when the flowers bloomed, and then attack again, but Lu Zhao resolutely did not let go, insisting that he would never retreat easily without receiving the order of Sima Taifu to withdraw his troops.

Somehow, Sima Yi did give the order to attack, but when the battle situation was unsustainable in winter, Sima Yi did not even give another order for Lu Zhao to retreat, as if such an army had been forgotten by him.

It stands to reason that at this time, Lu Zhao should personally write to Sima Yi, explain the difficulties he is currently encountering, and ask for his retirement.

But Lu Zhao didn't do this, all winter, he stuck to the Taihang Mountain, even when it was a difficult time of wind and snow, he didn't give up, and from time to time he continued to attack Weize Pass, in his opinion, the conditions of the two sides are equal, and the attack at this time can hit the morale of the Bingzhou army.

However, despite this, under the impermeable defense of Lianhong, Lu Zhao never found an opportunity to take advantage of, and the battle at Weize Pass dragged on in Jiaping for three years.

And in Yanmen County, the battle situation over there is more like child's play, except for the first time in Biqiu Jian's arrival in the state, the performance of the three cities has to be booked, and the rest of the confrontation seems to have entered the garbage time, Du Pre and Le Qi guard Yanmen Pass, which is comparable to the Weize Pass more important Yanbei Gateway, the terrain is dangerous, compared to the Weize Pass, there is no more.

In order to preserve his strength, of course, Biqiu Jian will not work hard to attack Yanmen Pass, all the battles are just perfunctory, to deal with errands, and never really exert strength, so in front of the dangerous Yanmen Pass, Biqiu Jian has no achievements It is also normal.

Of course, Biqiu Jian didn't think so, his first task now is to preserve his strength, there is no need to fight to the death with Cao Liang, not to mention, Cao Liang wrote a letter to him, and the two sides have reached a consensus on fighting a tacit battle, Cao Liang took the initiative to give up the three insignificant cities of Juyang, Wang Tao, and Yin Pavilion to give Biqiu Jian a record of fooling Sima Yi, and Cao Liang did not retreat at all when he held on to the Yanmen Pass.

After all, the importance of Yanmen Pass is not comparable to the small cities outside the Saiyang, Wang Tao, and Yin Pavilion, this is Cao Liang's bottom line, and it is never allowed to be easily offended, no matter whether Biqiu Jian really attacks or fakes, Cao Liang will not let him enter Yanmen.

Of course, this is also a big deal for Biqiu Jian, he and Lu Zhao attacked Yanmen Pass and Weize Pass at the same time, but they all returned in vain, but he also took three cities down, Lu Zhao's side was good, and there was no gain, so in comparison, his harvest was still greater than Lu Zhao's.

Biqiu Jian is still proud of this, the actual combat proves that he is not the last, he can't beat the Yanmen Pass, it can't be said that he doesn't do his best, it is completely limited by geographical conditions, just look at Lu Zhao, he can't win the Weize Pass after fighting so hard, and he has to take the Yanmen Gate, isn't it difficult for a strong man?
