Chapter 333: Towering Taixing

Go north to Taihang Mountain, it is difficult He Weiwei. ---------- Three Kingdoms. Cao Cao "Bitter Cold Travel"

It is said that Chen Long and Zhou Budo defended the whole army in Puyang, Guan Yu guarded the northern line of Puyang, and Chen Long guarded the western line of Puyang, and happened to meet Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao on the western front. Feng Xiao not only brought the general Gao Shun, but also brought the retrained multi-battle method trapping camp.

Chen Long was overjoyed, Gao Shun and Guo Jia came here, it can be said that they were sending charcoal in the snow, arranging their own troops, and the next action goal was more comfortable. Guo Jia pointed out that the fighting in Juancheng, Puyang, Dingtao and other places, the pressure may not be enough, and it may not make Cao Cao decide to withdraw his troops, and may accelerate the pace of Cao Cao's capture of Qingzhou, and Tai Shici's wish to rescue Kong Rong may be difficult to achieve.

Chen Long believed that it was not that there was not enough pressure on Cao Cao, but that Xun Wenruo, who was guarding the rear of Yanzhou, was determined to withstand the huge pressure himself, resist the invaders, and buy enough time for Cao Cao to capture Qingzhou and make sufficient backup.

Guo Jia and Zhou Budo listened to it, and they were both thoughtful, feeling that what the lord said made sense. Chen Long knew in his heart that although the two of them had superior intelligence, they didn't know as much about Xun Yu as they did.

Chen Long continued: "Now, my Puyang West Line has been connected with Juancheng through Baimajin. As soon as the warship left by Xu Huang arrives, we can cross the river at any time to join Tai Shici. It's just that who will defend this Puyang for the Lord in the future, so as to resist the joint counterattack of the famous generals Xu Huang and Yuan Shao? How many soldiers and horses are left?"

Zhou Budo said when he heard this: "Lord, that Guan Yu can be a general, why not let him guard Puyang as the main general?" The rest of the generals all went to the Central Plains to fight, Guo Jia and Gao Shun all pretended to be the generals of the Long family. ”

Chen Long said: "Guan Yu, both civil and military, is also a good general in the world." However, I understand his character better, and he values righteousness and affection, but he is arrogant, and he can be a general, but he cannot be handsome. Zhou Budo nodded silently, really strange in his heart, is the lord really so accurate in looking at people?

Guo Jia said: "Gao Shun can be the main general, enough to contain Guan Yu and resist Xu Huang." ”

Chen Long shook his head again and said: "Gao Shun's trapped camp is not on the defensive, I must take him to the Central Plains to fight Cao Cao in a decisive battle." After that, he sighed and said: "It would be good if the second brother was here, he would be able to contain Xu Huang, even if he and Yuan Shao's coalition forces were killed at the same time, I don't have to worry." "The second brother in Chen Long's mouth is naturally Huang Gai Huang Gongfu.

Zhou Budo said: "Why don't you cross the river and invite Zhang Yan to come?" Here the Montenegrin army will be able to work together against the enemy from the north. Chen Long's heart moved, and he nodded: "This proposal is good." ”

The meeting finally decided to cross the river and invite Zhang Yan to come to Puyang to defend the town, leaving Zhang Yan with 50,000 people, plus Guan Yu's 20,000 people, a total of 70,000 troops, and it would not be immediately defeated by Xu Huang. Moreover, Juancheng will leave some soldiers to guard it, and it will only take one day to cross the defense of Baimajin. In addition, Chen Long sent someone to Shangdang in the name of Zhang Yan and ordered the defending troops and the defeated army of Mengjin to reorganize the army as soon as possible and rebuild the Mengjin ferry.

Besides, the 25,000 White Tiger Army of Xu Huang and Manchu was still marching hard in the sheep intestine trails and canyons and ravines in the majestic Taihang Mountain, and the grain and grass were becoming more and more tight, as if they would never be able to walk out of the deep mountains that the ravines and ravines had returned. Xu Huang controlled the troops very strictly, and did not allow the army to plunder the people in the mountains, so he killed several squads that were looting because of hunger. Although discipline improved slightly, more and more wounded soldiers fell behind, and most of them deserted.

The Taihang Mountains, also known as the Five Elements Mountains, the Wangmu Mountains and the Nuwa Mountains, are important mountain ranges and geographical demarcation lines in eastern China. Located between Bingzhou and Jizhou, spanning Youzhou, Jizhou, Bingzhou, Yuzhou, the mountain range starts from Yuyang Xishan in the north, extends to Wangwu Mountain in the border area of Yuzhou and Bingzhou in the south, connects the plateau in the west, borders the plain in the east, and stretches for more than 400 kilometers. Its steepness, its majestic atmosphere, there is also the appearance of famous poems such as "going north to Taihang Mountain, difficult He Weiwei", and there are many trees and flowers that grow peculiar because of the terrain, which can be described as pleasing to the eye. There are huge rocks standing in the middle of the mountain, like a big general, there seems to be a husband when the pass, ten thousand people do not open the trend, between the two general mountains is often a deep ravine, look at the distance is very close, but to go around for half a day.

Trees, meadows, and even precious herbs on the rocks are everywhere, adding a lot of poetry to the steep and steep cliffs. Viewed from above, the clearly recognizable river meanders at the foot of the mountain, which is a beautiful word that is indescribably shocking.

Taihang Mountain is cut by Juma River, Hutuo River, Zhanghe River, Qin River, Dan River, etc., many horizontal valleys, locally called "陉", in ancient times there is "Taihang Eight Mountains" said, for the east-west traffic important channel. Shen Kuo, an outstanding scientist in the Northern Song Dynasty, saw that between the cliffs of Taihang Mountain, "the timid snail shells and stones are like bird eggs, and the stone walls are like belts", and pointed out after research: "This is the seashore of the past, and the east is now nearly a thousand miles away from the sea." ”

In terms of history, Taihang Mountain is a treasure of the Chinese nation. The situation of Taihang Mountain is precipitous, and it has always been regarded as a place where soldiers must fight. From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the beacon fire has been incessant for more than 2,000 years. In 650 B.C., Qi invaded Jin, entered Mengmen, and ascended to Taihang. Gong Qi Huan once hung the carriage and harnessed the horse. In 263 B.C., the Qin State attacked South Korea, "broke the danger of sheep intestines" in Taihang Mountain, and captured Han Xingyang in one fell swoop. In 204 B.C., Liu Bang was trapped between Xingyang and Chenggao, and he adopted Li Shiqi's suggestion to strangle the mouth of the flying fox in the north and guard the white horse in the south, and finally turned the crisis into safety, and later became a generation of emperors.

In the first year of the Eastern Han Dynasty (114 AD), Emperor An of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to charge troops at 36 places at the southern end of Taihang in order to prevent foreign enemies from invading Luoyang. Cao Cao besieged Linzhang, and Yuan Shang easily led his army east out of Taihang, but was defeated by Cao's army. In the nineteenth year of the Jin Dynasty (394 AD), Murong of Houyan entered the western Yan and the army was in the southwest of Linzhang. Murong Yong of Xiyan ordered all the men and horses to go to block the Taihang Pass, and Murong Chui led his troops to enter from Fukou and destroyed Xiyan. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Shimin and Dou Jiande competed, Li Shimin entered the tiger prison, so that Dou could not cross Taihang, Li took the opportunity to occupy Shangdang, and collected all the land east of the river. In the eighteenth year of Yuan to Yuan (1281 AD), Liu Futong led the rebel army to cross Taihang and burn the party. The Yuan generals Chahan Sticky Muer plugged Jingcheng and Du Taixing to stop the rebel army from developing northward.

Now Xu Huang and Man Chong are marching hard in this majestic Taihang, if they can't cross Taihang to reach Yecheng, I'm afraid that the whole army will starve to death in this deep mountain ravine.

Xu Huang and Man Zhong were helpless, so they had to let the troops go out to eat, and the army was everywhere, not only the prey in the mountains was empty, but even the war horses were eaten as military food. Xu Huang and Man Chong personally reconnoitred the terrain, and when they saw that the soldiers were all like vegetables, they didn't know how long they could carry it, so they were extremely anxious. On this day, Xu Huang personally raised troops to reconnoitre, and suddenly saw that at the end of the road ahead, the two mountains were facing each other like a mountain gate, and a mountain fort flashed in the middle. Xu Huang was overjoyed, and pointed to the bunker for his subordinates to see, but he was speechless for a while.
