In the west of Jizhou, in the land of Zhongmu, between the lofty mountains and mountains of Taihang Mountain, a group of people and horses are walking between the mountain roads. Taihang Mountain traverses the north and south, chokes off traffic, only Taihang Eight Mountains can be passed, but among these eight mountains, not all of them can pass through the army, it is more convenient, that is, the military capital, Jingcheng, Fukou Cheng, the rest are like what flying fox or something, just look at the name to know how difficult the mountain is.

In the mountainous area, the natural temperature has dropped a lot, in Jizhou or autumn, into the mountain, it is already a scene of wind and frost sword, and even on the top of some mountains, you can already see some snow, the biting mountain is whistling between the stone walls of the valley, and I want to scrape the stones.

Taihang is in Hanoi, and the military capital is close to Youzhou, although it is okay to say that Fukou is okay, but it is a little farther away from Yecheng, and for the sake of concealment, Gao Gan did not take people and horses to go to Fukou, but walked to Baicheng, also known as Mengmen, which is the section that passes through the sheep intestine road.

Although this section is the most dangerous, it is the shortest from Yecheng, and then out of the sheep intestine road, it is Huguan Changye, if it is overcome, it is to pry open the door of Shangdang Taiyuan.

This team of men and horses in the mountain road winding, only about four or five thousand people, but pull out a long one, and some people who transport grain and grass are still outside the mountain, and did not follow up, even so, the length of the marching procession, breathtaking, if you are in the middle of it, you can only see more than 100 people around you, and the head and tail of the brigade are not visible.

On weekdays, the ordinary march, the army did not move the grain and grass first, this time it was not mixed with the burden to move forward, but completely by the main soldiers in the advance of the mountain, and the militia auxiliary soldiers were constantly transporting grain and grass to the mountain in the rear. After all, the more people who enter the mountain, the greater the amount of grain and grass needed, and those people and auxiliary soldiers are not strong in combat effectiveness, even if they enter the mountain in advance, in case they encounter the opponent's resistance, not only can they not play any role, but they will cause a big deal.

Therefore, on the main pawns entering the mountain, this time not only need to bring their own blades and armor, but also need to carry some dry meat, grain and grass, etc., to press these soldiers, just like mules and horses, climbing on the mountain road with hands and feet, and moving forward step by step.

The war horse was also tired and exhaled a long white breath, struggling to climb on the mountain road. The war horse was also exhausted, and even with the assistance of manpower, its hooves slipped from time to time, and it was full of dangers.

In front of the team, there was already a steep mountain halfway up, and the mountain path was carved out of the air by the cliff wall. The width is only about the width of a horse-drawn carriage, and it is generally a road opened up by small-scale merchants who only seek wealth and wealth, regardless of life and death, that is, those merchants who travel to and from the border and sell tea and horses. But even if they are businessmen who are accustomed to dangerous roads, taking such mountain roads belong to fighting for their lives with God, not to mention these Jizhou soldiers who have been wandering on the plains for most of their lives and have never climbed such mountain roads.

I believe that the vast majority of people in the Han Dynasty did not know that some people had a fear of heights, and these people with fear of heights were no different from ordinary people when they were on the flat ground, jumping and eating, drinking, and Lazar were all the same, but once they were at a certain height, these people with fear of heights began to beat faster, their faces turned pale, and their hands and feet trembled......

The point is that these people who are afraid of heights do not have any uniform external characteristics, tall and short, strong and thin bodies may all be afraid of heights, and these guys who tremble when they stand on a high place have further slowed down the speed of the entire queue, and they are so anxious that they jump to their feet.

Even so, both men and war horses are moving forward cautiously, and there are still dangers from time to time, and as they walk, they hear a few short exclamations in the middle of the team, accompanied by a war horse slipping under its hooves, falling from the mountain road with a long neighing scream, rolling and falling down the mountain stream. A Jizhou soldier was also taken down, almost fell down the cliff, fortunately on the side of the mountain road, pulled a clump of grass vines, to stop the fall, after being pulled up by several other soldiers, all of them looked pale than the pile of snow on the tip of the mountain.

There was a muffled sound.

Then the screams ceased, and only a few echoes collided back and forth between the mountain walls, fading away.

After a moment of silence, the shouts and shouts of the junior sergeants who led the team resounded, and the brigade, which had no head or tail, slowly began to squirm again, moving forward step by step.

On a stone platform on the mountain road, Gao Gan and a group of generals, under the protection of their personal guards, were wrapped in a big coat, looking down at the long and rugged queue under their feet.

Gao Gan is a native of Chen Liu, and his ancestors have also produced a lot of celebrities, and he has a good reputation, so he has a marriage with the Yuan family, and if the generations are counted, Gao Gan is still Yuan Shao's nephew. This time, he planned to occupy the land of Shangdang Taiyuan, Yuan Shao also declared in public before parting that the table of Gao Gan is the history of the state assassin, of course, whether this history of the state can fall from the table seal to the ground, it depends on the Gao Gan himself.

The battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan was all stolen by Ju Yi, if it weren't for Yuan Shao's intention to balance, Ju Yi would not have been able to knock his nostrils to the sky now. Under Juyi, it was a battle between Lu Bu and the Black Mountain thieves, and the three hundred cavalry broke 10,000 people, which made people's blood boil, but it was a pity that the people of Jizhou could not tolerate Lu Bu......

However, it is precisely because of these small actions made by the Jizhou people behind their backs that Yuan Shao is now unwilling to put all the bets on the Jizhou people, so he has the action of Gao Gan leading an army alone and leaving the left to merge with the state.

Gao Gan thinks that although he can't reach the level of a famous general through the ages, he is at least different from those reckless men like Yan Liangwen Chou, and now Yan Liangwen Chou has won a lot of merits in the battles of Youzhou and Gongsun Zan in the north, how can Gao Gan feel open-minded?

After all, I want these guys to know how powerful they are!

Huguan is a city and a pass, so Gao Gan did not hesitate to take this sheep intestine road in order to avoid Huguan! You only need to take Huguan County, then the Huguan Pass to the south of it will become a tree without roots and a source of water!

And once the pot is taken, the party, and Taiyuan will be within the range of Bingfeng......

………………………………

Don't look at the big city, there will be more soldiers, it seems that it should be better to defend, but in many cases on the contrary, big cities are often easy to attack and difficult to defend, because the city is large, the soldiers who need to arrange defense need more, and the troops are slightly worse, which means that there will be a big flaw in the city defense.

Moreover, the big cities are often not in dangerous places, but most of them are located in places with convenient transportation, otherwise the population size of the city cannot be formed, and there must be many villages and towns around, just like the satellite cities of later generations, dependent on the big cities to survive. Therefore, once the city is besieged and fought, the attacker can even choose to loot these villages around the city, which can more or less support part of the army's consumption, and the materials of these surrounding villages will be relatively sufficient, at least you can collect enough wood and so on to build siege equipment or something.

At the same time, the population consumption in the big city is also very large, and the logistics of food and grass is a huge problem......

Therefore, in these respects, a small but strong fortress built in a dangerous terrain is better avoided than a large city, and a small city can be used without a large number of soldiers. The terrain is steep, and there is not much money around, so it is difficult for the enemy's army to be trapped on the periphery for a long time, and the siege equipment cannot be put on the ground, and only a certain amount of food and military resources need to be stored to provide long-term support for the small defenders.

If Huguan Pass is a dangerous pass, then Anyi City can be regarded as a big city.

For so many years, Hedong has not suffered any large-scale military disasters, even the Xiongnu and Baibo, in fact, because of various reasons, are all in the periphery, and have not been to the vicinity of Anyi, so the city of Anyi is indeed like its name during this period of time, and it is indeed comfortable enough.

But now it is different, when the queue of the general of Zhengxi left Pingyang and slowly headed south, Wei's in Anyi got a letter......

The old lady of the Wei family stood on the wall of Anyi, silently looking at the north, and only exhaled a long breath for a long time, which turned into a piece of white gas in the autumn cold, just like the current prospect of the Wei family, illusory and slim.

Wei Kai stood behind Mrs. Wei, and said half-loudly: "According to the itinerary, it should have arrived in Linfen......

Pingyang goes down along the Fen River, it is Linfen, after Linfen, it is Wenxi County, and after Wenxi, it is Anyi......

"Linfen ......" Wei Kai paused and said, "Biqiu led the troops to the north, and they looted a lot, and it may be difficult to defend it...... When the conscription of the western army arrives, most of them will surrender to ......"

Before, Yang Biao sent Biqiu Xing to Pingyang with his soldiers, and everyone thought that this time it must be the Yang family's victory, but they didn't expect that the general of Zhengxi, Fei Qian, would turn things around, which immediately made Wei's embarrassment.

Linfen, when Biqiu Xing went north, it was used as the supply base closest to the frontier, whether it was soldiers or people, as well as grain and grass materials, etc., they were all strong either to take the initiative to send to Biqiu Xing's army, or Biqiu Xing ordered to mobilize and recruit, so Biqiu Xing was defeated, and even Linfen did not have many county soldiers and materials to defend.

Therefore, when the soldiers marching south, Linfen, who bore the brunt of the expedition, did not want to burn the jade, so there was only one way left to surrender.

Old Lady Wei half-turned her head, glanced at Wei Kai coldly, and said, "Kai'er, are you afraid?" ”

"......" Wei Kai was silent, not daring to say no, let alone saying yes.

Wei Kai this person, spent far more effort on the scriptures and words than other aspects, on calligraphy, on scriptures, essays, are all first-class, especially calligraphy, work seals and grass, all of them are refined, and even in Hedong, some people are willing to travel long distances to admire it, just to ask for a pair of words.

But no matter how many literary achievements there are, they can't be temporarily converted into experience in the art of war, and when he heard that the army was coming, even if he repeatedly cheered himself up, and at the same time demanded that he must not show cowardice, Wei Kai was somewhat apprehensive.

Old lady Wei is old and refined, how could she not see what Wei Kai is thinking, sighed slightly, turned to the north again, and said slowly: "Kai'er, the more critical the moment, the more you can't mess up your own position...... If we are in chaos, we will definitely be doomed for so long......"

Although Mrs. Wei said that he now enjoys glory and wealth, but after all, he also grew up with the Hu people of the Xiongnu and Qiang people Xianbei to stir up the northern land, and at that time the northern land was still heroic and righteous, and also followed the army of the Han Dynasty to fight the Hu people in the bitter cold land, so the battle formation he had seen was much stronger than Wei Kai, who basically grew up in a honeypot.

Old lady Wei was silent for a moment, and then spoke, or to himself, as if to comfort Wei Kai: "This time there is no way to retreat, there is only one battle!" Expedition to the southwest, through Linfen, Wenxi, the battle line is long, if you leave the troops, the troops will be scattered, if you don't leave the troops, hehe...... Therefore, the outcome is not yet known! ”

Old lady Wei knocked the cane in his hand on the city wall, and said sharply: "When you go into battle to fight when you are young, is Zheng Xiyan here?" This is the foundation of the Wei family's ancestors, how can they give it up? The heroic spirit of the ancestors is on top, and you should win it in one fell swoop! Old Lady Wei said passionately, and the surrounding Wei private soldiers were also encouraged, and they raised their arms and shouted loudly, and their momentum was not much worse.

"Taigong has taught a lesson!" Wei Kai arched his hand and said, "When the foundation of the Wei family is the most important, we will defeat the west and conquer the city!" ”

Old Lady Wei signaled, let the surrounding guards go out a little, and after getting out of the way for a while, he said in a low voice: "Kai'er has this will, and she is very relieved...... However, Kyle has a strategy, so let's talk about it......"

"This ......" Wei Kai's eyes widened, and he blinked his eyelids a few times, unable to say anything.

"......" Old Lady Wei glared at Wei Kai, sighed, and didn't say anything more, and said directly, "...... The first thing is to clear the wilderness! Move the people and things in the north of Anyi, and then burn them......"

"Huh?" Wei Kai was stunned for a moment and said, "Taigong, this is close to the time of the autumn harvest, burn ...... Incinerate? Wouldn't it be a pity ......"

"It's a pity?" Old lady Wei couldn't wait to use the cane in his hand to hit Wei Kai, who had extraordinary literary attainments but some elm bumps in military affairs, "If the soldiers of the expedition to the west come to the city, will the Zhuang He outside the city be harvested by us or will it fall into the hands of the expedition to the west?" Even if there is no harvest this autumn, it is better than its rivals! ”

"......" Wei Kai was silent for a long time before nodding.

"Second, someone has been sent to contact Yang Gong, this matter should be widely publicized to reassure people's ......," Old Lady Wei continued, if it weren't for the fact that he was too old to run around, and he also needed to erect Wei Kai's image, he could have done these things himself......

"Kai made a note of ......," Wei Kai said, nodding.

"Third, to contact with all ethnic groups in Hedong, you need to know that the skin will not be attached to the hair!" Old Lady Wei gritted his teeth and said, "Give up the original Wei industry in exchange for the help of all the clans in Hedong!" The cavalry of the expedition to the west is strong, but how can the cavalry attack the city? In the past, Hu Manwan rode on the side, didn't he also return with a feather? When the conscription soldiers are tired of the city, it will be our chance to win! ”

The wind howled, swept over the city, pushing the dark clouds on the horizon one by one, as if a great army was pressing the border.

It is the mountain rain that is coming, and the wind is all over the city!
