Taihang Mountain is known for its steep and majestic wonders, especially from Hanoi to Shangdang, it is completely a back attack, the sheep intestine trail winds and circles between the mountains and mountains, just like the road to the clouds, look at the steep cliffs around you, the strange rocks are craggy, the ditches are deep, a little careless, fall down, that is the body is broken, there is no corpse dead.

Hu Fen looked at such a steep road, he couldn't help frowning, and said to Chen Tai: "This road is so difficult, if the state army sets up an ambush on the halfway, our army will be in danger." ”

Chen Tai had walked this road before, but he didn't think so: "Yangjizaka is known for its steepness and narrowness, if the Bingzhou army is ambushed in front, it is indeed difficult for our army to pass, but there is no need to worry that the enemy will come to pursue, even if it cannot advance, but there is no problem in retreating to protect itself." ”

With the terrain of Yangjisaka, it is probably more suitable to fight a blocking battle, as long as a small number of troops are sent to guard the dangerous place, it will be more difficult for Sima Jun to pass than to ascend to the sky.

However, in the same way, it is also very difficult for the Bingzhou army to pursue, and the narrow road cannot be deployed at all, so Chen Tai thinks that the enemy's ambush is not terrible, at most it can only prevent them from advancing, and will not cause them substantial damage, even if it is on the way back, the most loss is a small part of the rearguard force, and the large army can still return according to the original way, unless the Bingzhou army can ambush at both ends of the Yangjizaka at the same time, but this is obviously impossible.

It is estimated that this is probably because Sima Yi is worried, so he did not choose to let the main army go to Yangjiban, if the Bingzhou army blocked this road, it would be useless to send more troops.

Now that Sima Shi led the main force to attack Shimen Pass, presumably the defense focus of the Bingzhou Army will also be concentrated in the area of Shimen Pass, so it must be negligent to guard against Yangjiban, at this time Sima Jun sent a partial division to launch a surprise attack from Yangjiban, and the chance of success is still very large.

Sima Jun couldn't camp at night, so Chen Tai simply ordered the team to only take a short rest and rush overnight, although it is said that it is more risky to rush to the night road between the mountains and mountains, many sections of the road are close to the cliffs, often stepping on the air, it is likely to fall to pieces, but in order to get out of the sheep intestine as soon as possible, Chen Tai had to take risks, after all, the longer the delay on this road, the greater the possibility of being blocked by the state army, so the speed of the soldiers is the last word, Chen Tai rushed overnight, just to buy time.

However, what Chen Tai didn't know was that Cao Liang had already been very clear about any of Sima Jun's moves, and after the withdrawal of the Bingzhou army from Hanoi, some scout agents stayed, disguised themselves, and secretly lurked, sending a steady stream of information from Hanoi to Shangdang.

These scouts are equivalent to Cao Liang's eyes left in Hanoi, always watching Sima Jun's every move, and transmitting information to Shangdang in a timely manner, so Chen Tai still thinks that he is doing something unaware, but as everyone knows, all their actions have long been known to Cao Liang, even the number of their troops, the names of the leaders, the time and route of action, are all clearly grasped by Cao Liang.

However, Sima Jun did not know anything about the movements of the Bingzhou Army, and the information of the two sides was not equal, so naturally the outcome of this battle had already been doomed.

Cao Liang attached great importance to intelligence work, and when the scouts of this era were still at the level of reconnaissance within a radius of several tens of miles, Cao Liang had already organized and built his own independent military intelligence network, which now covered almost all areas from Luoyang to Bingzhou, and any move of Sima Jun in Hanoi could no longer escape the surveillance of this intelligence network.

The news that Chen Taihu Fen led his army to march from Yangjisaka, even before they left, Cao Liang had already received definite news, and if Cao Liang wanted to stop them halfway, it would be a simple matter.

However, in order to obtain greater results, Cao Liang must use the means of luring the enemy to go deeper, after all, it is meaningless to block the enemy, only by annihilating the enemy and destroying Sima Yi's living force can he win the war.

Chen Tai and Hu Fen naturally didn't know anything about this, they traveled all the way, and they were secretly glad that they had not encountered the Bingzhou army, seeing that they were getting closer and closer to getting out of the Yangjiban, Chen Tai and Hu Fen were very happy, thinking that as long as they got out of the Yangjiban, it was already half of the success, and then, they would attack the targets in the rear of the Bingzhou army according to the original plan, cut off the road before Gaodu and Huguan, and create conditions for the encirclement and annihilation of the Bingzhou army in the Gaodu area.

After a little more than a day of trekking, Hu Fen finally saw that the path as thin as a sheep's intestine no longer extended forward, and after turning over the last mountain, an open field appeared in front of him, and he could vaguely see the appearance of a castle.

"Is there Bowl City in front of you?" Hu Fen walked to Yangjiban for the first time, and he was not too familiar with the situation in this area, but he heard that at the end of Yangjiban, there is a smaller mountain city called Wanzi City, which probably refers to that, right?

Chen Tai nodded slightly and said, "Yes, that's Bowl City, we finally came out!" Chen Tai's words were also quite emotional, Yangjiban is a very difficult mountain road, and it is indeed not easy to forcibly march and advance along the way.

However, Chen Tai is still more cautious, although he has arrived at the bowl city, but no one knows whether the bowl city is stationed with the army of the state, if Cao Liang has the heart to guard the sheep intestine mountain, the bowl city is undoubtedly the best and last chance, if the heavy troops are guarding the bowl city, there is still a chance to block them in the sheep intestine mountain.

Chen Tai immediately sent a small team of men and horses to check the situation, and soon he got a reply, saying that there was no trace of the Bingzhou army in Bowl City, except for a few businesses doing business, Bowl City was almost equivalent to an empty city.

Chen Tai couldn't help but be overjoyed, he had walked through the sheep intestines before, and he had also passed through the bowl city, in the past, the bowl city was left behind with a small number of troops, checking the past travels, but I didn't expect that after Cao Liang took charge of the state, even at least these people were withdrawn, which is really a good thing.

In fact, such a team of dozens of people, Chen Tai didn't pay attention to it at all, he just sent people over, just to prepare to annihilate the forces defending the city in one fell swoop, take down the bowl city, and let Sima Jun have a foothold and a place to breathe.

Unexpectedly, the final result was bloodless, which was really a bit unexpected for Chen Tai.
