Chapter 376: The Smoke Ignites in Yizhou (I)
Cao Jun finally entered Hanzhong City without any problems. There were no surprises and 'waves'.
And Gao Shun finally failed to fulfill his promise to let Zhang Lu continue to be in charge of the Five Dou Mi Sect. Instead, a team of soldiers was sent directly. Escort it to Xuchang.
In this regard. Zhang Lu didn't look angry. Instead, he calmly got into the carriage to Xuchang. Maybe on this result. He had expected it.
Take Hanzhong. The next thing is to face the whole of Yizhou.
Didn't spend troops in Hanzhong. It can be said that it is an extremely good result. But even so. I want to conquer the whole territory of Yizhou. That's still not easy.
The first step to Yizhou. It's Jia Meng Pass.
If Yangpingguan is the 'door' household in Hanzhong. Then Jia Mengguan is the 'door' household of Yizhou.
Jiameng Pass and Jiange Pass are the two major barriers in Yizhou. If you can win these two levels. Then Chengdu is close at hand.
But I want to overcome these two barriers. But it takes a lot of effort. On the degree of robustness. These two passes are not as good as the world's first tiger prison pass. But when it comes to the steep terrain. That's definitely a lot better than the Tiger Prison Pass.
The difficulty of Shu Road. It's not just empty words.
An army of fifteen thousand men. Try to conquer either of these two passes. I'm afraid it's all out of my power.
"Take advantage of the fact that the Yizhou army is not fully prepared at this moment. How about a surprise attack." At the time of the military discussion. Gao Shun proposed.
"Jia Meng Pass is a dangerous pass. It's not something that can be easily taken down by surprise attack. Once the surprise attack is unsuccessful. will immediately fall into a war of attrition. Our army is not numerous. Try to avoid casualties. Once in a war of attrition. It's a terrible situation." Advice for surprise attacks. Lu Xun disagreed.
Sima Yi nodded. It means to echo Lu Xun.
"So what do we do next?" Gao Shun asked.
The two military advisors heard this. are lost in thought. After a while. Sima Yi was the first to speak.
"The Yizhou army and our army flanked Zhang Lu at the same time. Our army has entered Hanzhong. At this time, the Yizhou army was almost not far south of Hanzhong. Foolishness is snuggled up. It is better to invite the generals of the Yizhou army into Hanzhong. Then take advantage of it. Grab and kill in one fell swoop. At that time, the Yizhou army will be leaderless. It will become a plate of loose sand. Our army took advantage of the situation to kill. Then before the news gets back to Yizhou. Put on the armor of the Yizhou Army. Trick Jia Mengguan." Sima Yi said the plan he had in mind.
"But the Yizhou general. It would be so simple to trust me and wait. Enter Hanzhong?" Gao Shun asked. That sounds like a good plan. But the generals of the Yizhou army will enter Hanzhong without doubt.
"Now our army and Yizhou are in alliance. The Yizhou army didn't know what our army wanted to attack Shu. The defense against our army is not deep. What's more, Hanzhong is also extremely important to Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang allied with us in order to fight against Zhang Lu. But he certainly doesn't want Hanzhong to fall into our hands. This must be known to the generals of the Yizhou Army. We are on the grounds of discussing the ownership of Hanzhong. Invite each other into town. It will agree." Sima Yi is quite 'confident'. It seems that he is very confident in his plan.
Gao Shun set his sights on Lu Xun. Lu Xun nodded. It seems that he thought of it with Sima Yi.
Of course. This kind of style. It can also lead to a number of other consequences. Originally, Cao '' and Zhang Song agreed. Take Hanzhong. Before attacking Yizhou. Zhang Song will be notified in advance. Let him manage to 'pull' away. Then wave the army to attack. If you act according to Sima Yi's strategy. It must be the time to not inform Zhang Song. Wait until the news of the fall of Jiamengguan reaches back to Chengdu. Liu Zhang will inevitably know Cao's ambition to annex Yizhou. At that time, Zhang Song, who was in charge of contacting Cao 'Cao', would definitely be killed by Liu Zhang, who was furious.
But does all this have anything to do with Gao Shun? Gao Shun originally looked at Zhang Song very unpleasantly. It's not bad to be able to kill the other party with Liu Zhang's hand.
Or rather. Zhang Song was killed by Liu Zhang. That's Cao's original idea. To know about the so-called fighters. It's ever-changing. Inform Zhang Song to attack Yizhou again. That's going to be a 'waste' of how much opportunity and time it takes. Cao's ''' heart and 'mind' are not very broad. Zhang Song ridiculed him so many times. How can Cao '' be tolerated. Kill him by Liu Zhang's hand. I'm afraid that's Cao's real intention.
................................
Next. Yizhou army generals Yang Huai and Gao Pei accepted Gao Shun's invitation. Brought a hundred guards into Hanzhong City.
But Gao Shun suddenly became troubled after they entered the city. Ordered the sergeants to besiege it. A hundred guards don't play a protective role at all. All of them died in battle. And Yang Huai and Gao Pei. was also easily killed by Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong.
Two will be killed later. Gao Shun immediately set up an army. Kill the Yizhou army south of Hanzhong City.
Although the Yizhou army, which had lost the general of the unified army, was much superior to the Cao army in numbers. But there is no desire to fight. In addition, Cao Jun's side are all 'elite' soldiers. Therefore, the situation on the battlefield is that Cao's army is unilaterally slaughtered.
Ultimately. Cao's army used only a few hundred casualties. almost annihilated this Yizhou army.
Of course. With tens of thousands of people in the Yizhou army, it is impossible for every soldier to be killed. There will inevitably be a small number of defeated soldiers who flee. Before they go back to Yizhou to spread the word. Try your best to win the Jiameng Pass as quickly as possible.
Gao Shun immediately ordered the Cao soldiers to strip their armor from the corpse of the Yizhou army. After changing your armor. The whole army immediately attacked the Jiameng Pass.
