The strongest, the fastest update of the last Three Kingdoms 2: Xingwei latest chapter!

"Yangpingguan?" Xiahou Xuan was taken aback, since he was the chief general of the Wei army, it was impossible for Xiahou Xuan not to study the geography of Shu, Yangping Pass is also called Yang'ankou, it is a gateway city from Hanzhong to Yinping Wudu, and it is a key place to go out of Hanzhong in the west, if Xingshi Mountain is the east gateway of Hanzhong, Yangping Pass is the west gateway of Hanzhong.

Is Yangpingguan important? Of course, it is crucial, but now that the Wei army has just taken Xingshi Mountain, Cao Liang suggested that Yangping Pass be taken directly, which is east and west, but it spans two or three hundred miles, and there are important cities such as Hancheng, Lecheng, and Nanzheng in the middle, Cao Liang's suggestion seems to have jumped out, and Xiahou Xuan feels a little unable to keep up with his rhythm.

"Yangping Pass is in the west of Hanzhong, at this time, it is not appropriate to take a detour to capture Yangping Pass?" Xiahou Xuan said suspiciously.

Cao Liang smiled slightly, the siege of the two cities of Hanle did not fight, the main army directly attacked Yangping Pass, this is not a method that Cao Liang came up with himself, but a successful example, twenty years later, when Zhong Hui attacked Shu, he used this method, not to conquer Hancheng Lecheng gold and other places point by point, but sent troops to besiege these fortresses, surrounded but not fighting, and limited the Shu army to the siege, the main army drove straight in, directly took Yangping Pass, and took the opportunity of Shu general Jiang Shu to surrender, conquered Yangping Pass in one fell swoop, and then marched into the Sword Pavilion, In the end, Deng Ai smuggled through Yinping, completed the final blow to the Shu Kingdom, and destroyed the Shu Kingdom.

Until after the fall of Shu, Hanzhong's Hancheng, Lecheng and gold have not been conquered, until the later lord Liu Chan surrendered and issued an edict to Hanzhong, Jiang Bin, Wang She, and Liu Yin, who held the siege of Hanzhong, opened the city and surrendered.

The reason why Zhong Hui did not fight the siege of the two cities of Hanle was because these city fortresses were too strong, and the soldiers were well fed, and the Wei army wanted to break the city, not only to pay a great price for casualties, but more importantly, it would delay a lot of time.

There is such a successful example in front of him, why not learn from Cao Liang, now the Wei army has broken through the Xingshi Mountain, the east of Hanzhong is already no danger to resist, Wang Ping's remaining troops, it is not easy to be able to hold Seoul Lecheng, and it is impossible to start a comprehensive showdown with the Wei army on the Hanzhong Plain.

Therefore, as long as Cao Liang can seize the opportunity, it is not impossible to replicate the success of Zhonghui.

As far as I know, the two cities of Hanle were built when Zhuge Liang was in charge, in order to strengthen the defense of Hanzhong, not only the city wall is solid, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the defense facilities are complete, a large number of grain and grass are stored, enough to support a year or two, if our army goes to attack the second city of Hanle step by step, it will inevitably be the trick of the Shu people, and wait until the reinforcements in Shu arrive, Our army will be in a dilemma. But if you can take Yangping Pass, you can go south to take the Sword Pavilion, and you can retreat to hold the gate of Hanzhong and block the reinforcements of the Shu army, which is a double win. ”

Xiahou Xuan listened to Cao Liang's explanation, and couldn't help nodding his head, and said: "Ziming's plan is really different from ordinary people, this plan is very good, but I don't know how to act?" ”

The reason why Zhong Hui was able to take Yangping Pass was entirely due to Jiang Shu's surrender, and if there was no Jiang Shu, whether he could take Yangping Pass was really a question.

Cao Liang didn't dare to pin his hopes on the guards of Yangping Pass, if this person was not a soft bone like Jiang Shu, but as loyal and unyielding as Fu Yan, it would not be easy to break through Yangping Pass.

Therefore, Cao Liang had to find another way, but since Cao Liang had already planned something, he had already thought about it in advance, and said confidently: "If you are surprised, you will not be prepared to attack it." ”

Xiahou Xuan said suspiciously: "How can I be surprised and unprepared?" ”

Cao Liang said: "This is simple, Brother Tai Chu can surround Hancheng Lecheng with great fanfare, and put on an offensive posture, so that the Shu people mistakenly think that the target of our army's attack is the second city of Hanle, far away from Yangping Pass hundreds of miles away, there will inevitably be some relaxation, I can lead the Yue cavalry battalion to go day and night, and attack Yangping Pass overnight, and take the defenders by surprise, if everything goes well, take Yangping Pass without a problem." However, if the Shu army is prepared and unable to sneak attack, Brother Tai Chu can leave a part of the army to besiege the second city of Hanle, and the main force will immediately advance westward and storm Yangping Pass. ”

Xiahou Xuan nodded and said: "This plan is very good, but there are only more than 700 cavalry in the Yue cavalry battalion, is it a little thin to sneak attack Yangping Pass with this force, why don't you transfer some cavalry from other battalions and gather three or two thousand people?" "Although most of the Wei army's attack on Shu this time is mainly infantry, it is not difficult to put together a cavalry team of three or two thousand people.

Cao Liang shook his head and said: "The soldiers are expensive but not many, although the number of Yue cavalry battalions is small, but they are capable and capable, and the pace is the same, if you join the cavalry of other battalions, it will drag on as a burden, and it is easy to leak secrets if there are many people, so I think that if Yangping Pass is unprepared, seven hundred cavalry in the Yue Cavalry Battalion is enough, and if Yangping Pass is prepared, two or three thousand people will go forward, and it will be useless." It is because we must be prepared with both hands, if the Yue cavalry camp cannot take the Yangping Pass, Brother Tai Chu must move westward as soon as possible, without delay. ”

On the battlefield, the situation is often ever-changing, Cao Liang wants to sneak attack, then it must be based on the premise that the guards of Yangping Pass will be paralyzed and negligent, if the guards of Yangping Pass will be shrewd and strong, and the matter has been prepared for a long time, then Cao Liang must be invulnerable.

Therefore, when Cao Liang planned the action, he had already made two sets of plans, and if the sneak attack was successful, if it was unsuccessful, he would immediately transfer to the second set of plans.

In the entire Hanzhong region, the strength of the Shu army is extremely limited, Wang Pingguang is the army stationed in Lecheng, Hancheng, has already occupied the majority of the strength of Hanzhong, Yangping Pass belongs to the rear pass, in the garrison level, it is naturally not as good as Xingshi, Hancheng, Lecheng these passes.

Therefore, Cao Liang concluded that the number of defenders of Yangping Pass should be relatively small, as long as the Yue Cavalry Battalion can unexpectedly attack the city of Yangping Pass, the probability of breaking the pass is still quite high.

Even if the defenders are on guard, no matter how dangerous Yangping Pass is, as long as the Shu army has no new reinforcements, will it be difficult for the Wei army's 100,000 troops to defeat a small Guancheng?
