Chapter 41: Emergency Military Intelligence
In the Dasan Pass, Deng Yulong came to the side of the Tiance Army.
When the general arrived, except for the seriously wounded (who were treated by military doctors), the rest of the personnel lined up.
Han Xin said loudly: "Report to the general, the last general led the soldiers of the Tiance Army to complete the task you assigned. ”
The operation was a great success, and the officers and men could hardly hide their excitement.
"Brothers, you have done a good job tonight, worthy of the title of the elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty, and the military exploits you have made will be recorded in the merit book, and after you win Guanzhong, you will be rewarded for your meritorious deeds."
In the future, the Tiance Army will definitely be expanded, and many people here will be promoted.
The officers and men cheered and their emotions were high.
Han Xin reported to Deng Yulong the specific course of the battle, the whole process was a bit thrilling, the battle was quite fierce, the reason why he was able to defeat the enemy army was first because of the strict training in recent months, and secondly, because of Han Xin's appropriate on-the-spot command.
After listening to the report, Deng Yulong patted Han Xin on the shoulder: "Work hard, the future is limitless." ”
After the occupation of Dasanguan, the Han army continued to be busy, some people were in charge of centralized detention and care, some were responsible for treating the wounded, some were responsible for counting the materials in the warehouse, and some were responsible for lighting fires and cooking.
Deng Yulong inspected Dasanguan again, there was food for 2,000 people to eat for several months, weapons and equipment were not bad, all of which were trophies.
In the end, Deng Yulong ordered people to bring in the highest-ranking people in the army, and through the mouths of these people, he learned some information about Zhang Han.
Including who the defenders of Chen Cang are, the approximate number of defenders, and so on.
After various verifications, the information that Deng Yulong was able to find out about this period in modern times, and then corroborated it with what he learned in this time and space, is generally consistent, which is an advantage that no one in this time and space can match.

At the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, a few kilometers away from Dasanguan, countless torches illuminate this place.
"Let's all do it together and go to Dasanguan as soon as possible!"
Liu Bang personally commanded his subordinates to open up the road, not only the original opening team of the infant and the merchant, but also other soldiers came to help, even if they didn't have so many tools, they could always play some role.
The first battle of the Northern Expedition was victorious, and the officers and men of the Han Dynasty were happy and energetic.
In addition, the men were busy making a fire and cooking, and everyone was eating dry food to satisfy their hunger these days, and they could finally have a good meal.

In the Dasan Pass, there is a council hall here, which is the place where the guards convene their subordinates to discuss matters.
General Deng Yulong, officers of the rank of Sima and above, gathered together, and there were more than a dozen of them.
Du Tong said: "Report to the general, the personnel count is complete." Our side suffered 225 killed and 180 wounded, of which 154 were killed, 41 were seriously wounded, and 47 were slightly wounded. Yongwang's army originally had 2,000 defenders, with 1,155 dead and 264 seriously wounded. ”
Deng Yulong said: "The first battle was a complete victory, and after capturing Guanzhong, the King of Han will reward his merits." The soldiers have behaved very well tonight, everyone has worked hard, and it will take a few hours for the main force to arrive, so everyone has a good meal and rests. ”
The meal has been prepared, Deng Yulong and his subordinates have eaten a lot, they have been eating dry food for the past few days, and now they are eating hot meals, which is delicious.
Before setting out on the expedition, Deng Yulong had a detailed battle plan for the capture of Guanzhong.
If none of the enemy escapes from the defenders of Dasanguan, this is the best case, and Deng Yulong will have the corresponding next move; This operation allowed Yao Tong to escape, and Deng Yulong had another set of response plans, which could only be carried out after the arrival of the main force, so he would have a good rest first.
As a general, Deng Yulong's best residence was left for him, and the house where Yao Tong lived was re-packed and won the first battle, allowing him to relax and rest.

Chencang City, located more than 20 kilometers northeast of Dasanguan, belongs to the edge of the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains.
Sending troops from Chencang Road, in addition to capturing the Dasan Pass, must also take Chencang City, in order to be regarded as opening the door to Guanzhong.
It was just dawn, and the soldiers defending the city were on duty as usual, when they saw a man and a horse running towards him.
"Who is this! Rushed to Chencang overnight! ”
"Looks like it's a general!"
"Coming alone, is it something that happened?"
The soldiers on the ramparts were talking, strange about it.
The general quickly came to the front of the tower, took out his token and said loudly: "I am Yao Tong, the general of the Dasan Pass, and I have an urgent military situation to report to the general." ”
After the city defenders confirmed Yao Tong's identity, they opened the city gate and let him into the city.
Chen Cangcheng guarded the general's mansion, Zhang Zhi was still asleep, and a hurried knock on the door woke him up.
"General Zhang, General Yao from Dasanguan came alone and said that there was an urgent military situation to report to you."
Zhang Zhi was taken aback. Under normal circumstances, if there is any military situation, Yao Tong will send someone to report it, but he is the only one who came, it may be that something happened in Dasanguan.
Could it be that the Han army attacked Dasanguan? Zhang Zhi thought about it unlikely, how could the Han army appear out of thin air.
Zhang Zhi didn't dare to delay, hurriedly got dressed, and came out of the hall to see Yao Tong, who was in the dust.
