Liu Yi's 30,000 troops are stationed in Shangyong, his mission this time is Tongguan and Hangu Pass, cut off the support of the Cao army at the same time, but also to block the retreat of the Cao army in the Guanzhong area, so the choice of timing is very important, and the siege should also be fast, the two checkpoints, about 370 miles apart, but also in a short period of time to capture down, if not captured in time, even if it is a failure.

30,000 soldiers and horses, the number is not much, but it is also suitable for a sneak attack.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Liu Yi walked out while thinking about how to send troops this time and what timing to choose.

"How is Bo Yuan going to fight?" Pang Tong won the position of the main military division, and he was quite complacent, so he came to Liu Yi's side and patted Liu Yi on the shoulder.

"I didn't think about it, this Tongguan and Hangu Pass gather three hundred and seventy miles, from Shangyong to Wuguan you have to go to Nanyang first, this is not delayed, but it is easy to conquer one level, it is not so easy to conquer two levels in a short time, this first attack does not seem to be right, I am a lone army!" Liu Yi shook his head and sighed.

"You, wait a while before moving the troops, when the time comes, the soldiers and horses in the Hongnong area will probably be transferred to Guanzhong, you will lead the army to kill at that time, although these two places are Xiongguan, but at this moment they are in the hinterland of Cao Wei, and the precautions should not be too tight." Pang Tong said with a smile.

"So the timing is very important." Liu Yi nodded and smiled: "Don't worry, I have measure, I have been fighting for so many years, if I meet a strong general, I may not be able to, but if I am just two unknown people, I still have some confidence." ”

Pang Tong nodded, and was about to speak, but suddenly heard Li Yan speak in the back: "Congratulations to Mohou." ”

"Yo, square!" Liu Yi looked at Li Yan and said with a smile: "This logistics still needs to be cooperated!" ”

"It's a matter of duty." Li Yan said with a smile: "Yan wishes Mohou a successful victory in this battle. ”

"But to play the corners, this battle mainly depends on them to play, and if you close it, the momentum of my Han Sanxing will be!" Liu Yi smiled and nodded.

"Yes!" Li Yan also saluted Pang Tong and said with a smile: "I need to count the materials as soon as possible, so that there is nothing missing on the front line, so I will leave first!" ”

"Walk slowly!" Liu Yi and Pang Tong nodded and watched Li Yan leave quickly.

"Why is this man walking silently?" When Liu Yi saw Li Yan walking away, he looked at Pang Tong with a smile and said, "It's scary." ”

"This person, his mind is not right!" Pang Tong shook his head: "Although talented, but ......"

"There are many people with mixed mouths, don't talk about the rights and wrongs of others!" Liu Yi looked around and shook his head, Li Yan's heart is not right, he naturally knows it, but this kind of place is not suitable for talking about people's strengths and weaknesses.

Pang Tong nodded, looked at Liu Yi and said, "You have always been kind to others, but this person's heart is sometimes not so simple." ”

"You know that, too!" Liu Yi looked at Pang Tong and smiled: "That's still messing around!" ”

"Get down to business!" Pang Tong glared.

"Okay, let's get down to business!" Liu Yi nodded and said: "This time, Cao Wei has a lot of troops in the Guanlong area, according to the news from the front, the generals Zhang He and Xu Huang are all in this area, and Cao Zhen is also a very capable figure among the Cao family's clansmen, which should not be underestimated." ”

Judging from the current intelligence, the Cao army has at least 100,000 soldiers and horses in the pass to defend all sides, although Liu Bei has 200,000 troops in the pass, but Cao Wei occupies the defensive, although it is said that the preparation is insufficient, but the 100,000 army still has to be faced, and when the other party reacts, it is the time for the real decisive battle, at this point, the significance of Liu Yi's occupation of Tongguan and Hangu Pass is quite important.

"And where are you going to go first?" Pang Tong asked with a smile.

"Hangu Pass, Hongnong is also ours, there is here, Luoyang, Hedong take the easy also, if there is spare strength in this battle, these two places should also be fought!" Liu Yi said with a smile.

"Bo Yuan is really good at decisiveness!" Pang Tong smiled and nodded, Liu Yi's thoughts were similar to him, although Liu Yi's army was a lone army, but in fact, it could not be regarded as a complete lone army, there was support from the direction of Shangyong behind him, Guan Yu would also contain Luoyang's soldiers and horses, the 70,000 army was not a decoration, and Cao Wei could not turn a blind eye.

It would be much easier to only target Hangu Pass without considering both levels, and then slowly plot against Tongguan and the entire Hongnong County.

"I'm going to go on an expedition tomorrow, and I'll call Kong Ming, Yide, and Uncle Zhi to drink a practice wine with them in a while?" Liu Yi said with a smile.

"It's fine, but Your Majesty should have prepared a banquet there." Pang Tong smacked his lips.

Because of the reason that the troops will be sent tomorrow, this time, Liu Bei set the banquet at noon, and after everyone had a good meal, they would rest for a night, and each would send troops early tomorrow morning.

Liu Yi suddenly felt that something was wrong, Zhang Fei and Pang Tong were two drunkards together, this is the rhythm of bad things.

"You two bring this!" When the banquet was about to end, Liu Yi suddenly took out two jade ornaments and handed them to Pang Tong and Zhang Feidao.

"What is it?" Pang Tong and Zhang Fei took the jade ornament handed by Liu Yi in their hands and looked at it.

"Sobering up can keep you from getting drunk in a thousand cups!" Liu Yi explained with a smile, in fact, in addition to sobering up, bringing this thing also has the effect of quitting alcohol, Liu Yi didn't say, after all, these two people are addicted to alcohol, and they really told them that they were afraid that they would not be happy.

"Bo Yuan has a heart!" Zhang Fei grabbed Liu Yi's neck and said with a smile, the heavy smell of wine came to his face.

Liu Yi tilted his head slightly, he regretted establishing the wine cellar a little, and now Liu Bei's wine here has a lot more degrees than before.

"Bring it on!" Liu Yi hid in disgust.

Seeing this, Zhang Fei smiled, hung the jade ornament around his neck, instantly sobered up a lot, looked at Liu Yi and said, "It really works." ”

Liu Bei was amazed and smiled: "What Bo Yuan has done is really ingenious. ”

This is Liu Yi's housekeeping skills, these courtiers know a little bit, and they are not surprised, but they look at Zhang Fei with some envy, what Liu Yi did, it can't be bought with money, not to mention a piece of jade ornament, Liu Yi made wood carving accessories in his early years, and now it is also a treasure that cannot be changed outside, as for what Liu Yi does now, only Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Pang Tong, who have a good relationship with Liu Yi can enjoy it.

"If this battle is closed, will Chang'an City be rebuilt?" A minister asked, smiling through wine.

"The battle hasn't been fought yet, don't be too ambitious, and you have to ask Your Majesty whether you should ask me about this matter." Liu Yi didn't answer, rebuilding Erdu, Liu Yi definitely wanted to take over such a project, but this is a pit, Liu Yi has no right to decide, so Liu Bei has to decide, this goods came to ask himself, isn't it intentional to block people?

Liu Yi decided to write this down in his small notebook, and he had to be on guard in the future.

This banquet was still quite happy, because of the relationship between tomorrow's expedition, Liu Bei ended the banquet early in the afternoon, let everyone go back to rest, and the generals were sent to the barracks to rest again, and the troops will be sent early tomorrow morning.

Now the news of Shuzhong is not known to outsiders, they have a surprise advantage, Liu Yi and Zhuge Liang and others estimate that the initial battle should be quite smooth, but in the end it depends on whether it can break through the obstacles of the Cao army and enter Guanzhong, only by occupying Chang'an and defeating the main force of the Cao army, this Northern Expedition to Guanzhong can be regarded as a real victory.

Liu Yi was not in a hurry to leave, his troops were stationed in Shangyong, Liu Feng did not come this time, he was waiting for Liu Yi to meet in Shangyong, so Liu Yi would rest in Nanzheng for one night, and early tomorrow morning, take Guan Ping and Pang De on the road, Meng Da was already in Shangyong at this time.

In this battle, in order to maximize their own advantages, Pang Tong, Huang Zhong, and Chen Zhi all brought Liu Yi's disciples with them, in order to make it more convenient when they set up camp.

Liu Yi's side is to bring his disciple Zhou Huai in Yunnan with him, if he wants to divide the troops at that time, although Zhou Huai's current level is not high, he can also come in handy.

Early the next morning, Guan Ping and Pang De came to report to Liu Yi, and the three of them each took their guards to the rail car and hit the road.

"Ling Ming doesn't have to be so restrained!" Looking at Pang De with a serious face, Liu Yi smiled and said: "I deeply admired Ling Ming when he moved to Xiliang with the townsman. ”

"Don't dare, Mo Hou is serious." Pound said solemnly.

"This battle can be regarded as revenge for General Ma Teng, but it's a pity, General Ma was also a loyal person back then!" Liu Yi found some common topics, he had to rely on these subordinates to fight the war, and the relationship had to be good, so that they were willing to do things for themselves.

Driven by Liu Yi, Pang De's words gradually increased, from Nanzheng to Shangyong, only two tracks were built that year, one went and one returned, this time in order to fight, the two tracks were all stopped, only for the transportation of soldiers, horses, grain and grass, the speed was not slow, Liu Yi and others hurried overnight, and the guards took turns to step on the pedal, and rushed to Shangyong that night.

"Sir, I haven't seen you for a long time!" When Liu Feng took Meng Da out to greet him, if Liu Feng hadn't taken the initiative to say hello, Liu Yi couldn't believe that this was Liu Feng he knew.

Although when I saw Liu Feng again, Liu Feng was also very fat, but at least he was still a sturdy fat man, but this goodbye, the heroic young man in the past is now almost fat into a ball.

Looking at Liu Feng in front of him, Liu Yi estimated that this product must be about 300 catties now, right?

The flesh on his face is so squeezed that his eyes are about to squint into a slit, Guan Yu squints, it is a murderous aura, Liu Feng is like this, it is estimated that he has opened his eyes to the maximum.

With every step, you can see that the flesh on the other person's face trembles like a wave, and the cheeks are drooping downward, and it is difficult to see the original outline anymore.

"What's the problem?" Liu Yi patted Liu Feng's shoulder, feeling the fluctuation of the meat wave, and there was something indescribable in his heart.

"I don't want to do that." Liu Feng sighed and shook his head: "It's just that when you get there, you can't stop at all, and if you walk a few steps, you will feel hungry." ”

At first, it was to hide people's eyes, but now, it has become a habit......
