Chapter 506: Dilemma

Liu Yi's days became idle after occupying the first line of Hangu Pass, and every day Zhou Huai led the craftsmen to constantly improve the defense system in this area, and the defense of the entire front line of Hangu Pass was constantly strengthened.

After the reinforcements of the Wei army arrived, Liu Yi acted more carefully, Sima Yi's name is not too familiar in the Han Dynasty at the moment, but for Liu Yi, it is like thunder, when he meets Sima Yi, he must be careful and careful, don't be yin.

"Teacher!" On this day, Liu Yi was making a wooden bird while looking at the sand table, thinking about how he should go next, and Zhou Huai suddenly walked in from outside the door.

"Coming back?" Liu Yi nodded, and then found that Zhou Huai's expression was wrong, so he stopped the carving in his hand and sat up straight: "Something?" ”

"Big deal!" Zhou Huai nodded and said, "Guan Junhou is trapped!" ”

"Huh?" Liu Yi looked at Zhou Huai suspiciously, how could Guan Yu be trapped.

"Cao's army raided Yangrenju and cut off General Guan's retreat, Cao Xiu personally led an army of 50,000 to threaten Yique Pass, so that General Guan did not dare to move, General Mi Fang led the army to capture Yangrenju, but was ambushed by the Wei army and lost a lot of soldiers and horses." Zhou Huai bowed and said, "Right now, General Guan is out of food. ”

"Yang people gathering?" Liu Yi stood up and looked at the sand table, the position of the Yang people gathering was stuck in Rushui, no matter which way the grain and grass were transported, it had to pass through the Yang people's gathering, this time, it was equivalent to cutting off Guan Yu's back road, Liu Yi looked at Zhou Huai: "There are a lot of Wei troops gathered by the Yang people?" ”

Mi Fang's ability to fight still exists, and with the current equipment of the Han army, it can defeat the thousands of men and horses that Mi Fang carried, even if it is an ambush, there are a lot of men and horses on the other side.

"There are 30,000 of them!" Zhou Huai nodded, and was about to say something, when there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.

"Mohou!" Guan Ping walked in quickly, and the moment he saw Liu Yi, he didn't say a word, and directly pushed Jin Shan and fell to the ground like a jade pillar.

"I already know about the affairs of the prince, and I am discussing countermeasures, and it is just right to come to the frank place, discuss together, don't be like this, the prince is in trouble, I can't sit idly by!" Liu Yi stood up a little helplessly and helped Guan Ping up.

"Thank you, Mohou!" Guan Ping's eyes were a little red, and he stood up silently and looked at Liu Yi and said, "The last general is restless at the moment, I'm afraid it's ......."

"Okay, you listen, An Ming, you go and gather the generals to discuss the matter." Liu Yi nodded and looked at Zhou Huaidao.

"Whoa!"

Soon, Yu Ban and Meng Da were recruited, and Pang De was now guarding at Xinguan, and it was impossible to rush over.

"What do you think?" Liu Yi briefly introduced the situation, looked at the generals and asked.

Meng Da frowned and said: "According to the news from the detective report, the Wei army has 100,000 troops in Luoyang at the moment, but at this time, the battle in Guanzhong is not conducive to the Wei army, and it is time to attack Yique Pass, but Cao Xiu trapped the prince, and the last general thinks that Cao Jun's move is not for the prince, but for the Mohou, as long as the Mohou does not move, they will not easily hurt the monarch!" The last general thinks that when the army does not move! ”

In fact, Sima Yi's move is clearly to lure Liu Yi out, this is not difficult to guess, but the problem is that even if he knows this, Liu Yi cannot be indifferent, the grain road is cut off, even if the Wei army does not take the initiative to attack, once the grain and grass are exhausted, the first thing Yique Pass will face is mutiny, and Guan Yu is also dangerous.

And Guan Yu's influence, if he dies in Yique Pass, it will be too much to shake the country's foundation, but the blow to morale will definitely be there, and it is not small, not to mention the relationship between Liu Bei and Guan Yu.

Meng Da's idea makes sense, but it is only considered from the battlefield, but war is not just as simple as marching and fighting, Guan Yu and Liu Yi can't not save it, the question is how to save it?

"It's impossible for the prince not to save it!" Liu Yi shook his head and said: "At the moment, the Cao army does not dare to attack the key problems, but if it takes the initiative to attack, then the Cao army will have ambushes in this area, and the current problem of the prince and the prince is that the grain route is cut off...... Mengda! ”

"The last general!" Meng Da bowed.

"You go to Xinguan, replace Pound, I will see him tomorrow!" Liu Yi looked at Meng Dadao.

This time he may have to go against his own ideas and take the initiative to attack, Liu Yi's side, Guan Ping, Meng Da, Pang De, and Yu Ban are all good generals, but if you talk about attacking, among the four, Pang De is the first to be promoted, and Liu Yi is ready to transfer Pang De over.

"Whoa!" Meng Da nodded, took Liu Yi's arrow, bowed to Liu Yi, and turned to leave.

"Tanzhi!" Liu Yi looked at Guan Ping.

"The last general!" Guan Ping said solemnly.

"Try to get in touch with the prince and see how much time is it enough for the grain and grass in Yique Pass?" Liu Yi said in a deep voice, Guan Yu has 40,000 troops stationed in Yique Pass, these soldiers and horses, the daily need is an astonishing number, even if Liu Yi can send grain and grass to Yique Pass, it can't support much, the grain and grass on his side can't support the consumption of 70,000 troops, Guan Yu can still last a few days, which is very important.

"Whoa!" Guan Ping nodded.

"There are many scouts, I want to know how Luoyang's city defense is now, how many soldiers and horses are there? The more scouts, the better. Liu Yi said in a deep voice.

If you save it directly, it is unlikely, since Cao Jun has set up this plan, he will not let him easily connect with Guan Yu, Luoyang is not ready to take it in Liu Yi, but the other party has put on such a big battle, Luoyang's troops are empty, but it is also an opportunity, if Luoyang can be captured and Cao Pi's military food supply is cut off, then Guan Yu will naturally be fine, the problem is that Sima Yi will not be able to calculate this step? What Liu Yi is most worried about is that Sima Yi is digging a pit for himself here.

This time, Cao Wei stationed more soldiers and horses in Luoyang, Liu Yi estimated that there were more than 100,000, and Sima Yi was also a figure known for his prudence, and he would not leave such a big flaw to himself.

The reason why he did this was that Liu Yi was gambling, betting that Sima Yi had calculated that he would surround Wei to save Zhao, and then set up an ambush based on this, otherwise he would be sorry for Sima Yi's name, as for the next step, it still depends on Sima Yi's reaction, and now he doesn't even know that Sima Yi is there.

Guan Ping took the order and left, leaving only Liu Yi and Yu Ban in the tent.

"Wen Zhi!" Liu Yi looked at the sand table for a long time, and suddenly asked: "If you are a Wei general, if you calculate that I will attack Luoyang, where will you set up an ambush?" ”

"This ......" Yu Ban frowned and thought for a moment, then pointed to the sand table and said: "Gucheng and Yangqu are the only way to go to Luoyang, but the land of Yangqu is flat and open, and it is not suitable for ambush. ”

Liu Yi heard this, silently looked at the sand table, Gucheng is located in the downstream of the valley water, and another river intersects here, the terrain is low, from Hanguguan to Luoyang, there is a large section of valley road, the terrain is not open until Gucheng, whether Liu Yi is going to Luoyang, or directly to Yique Pass, this road must be taken.

Yu Ban saw Liu Yi frowning and thinking hard, and thought for a while: "Mohou, in fact, there is another road, which can go straight to Yique Pass. ”

"Oh?" When Liu Yi heard this, his eyes lit up and he looked at Yu Ban.

"There is a and, from the north of Luhun Mountain, it is Yishui, which can lead to Nanyang, but the road is tortuous, full of hills, some people have walked before, but it is not easy to walk, but if our army sends grain and grass to the prince, you can go to Yishui, but this can only solve the urgent need for a while." Yu Ban said in a deep voice.

After all, Liu Yi's grain and grass are not abundant.

"It's enough, what Yique Pass lacks now is morale and military spirit, as long as there is a batch of grain and grass that can be transported over, it can stabilize the army's heart, and the 40,000 army of the prince will live!" Liu Yi said with a smile, since Cao Jun's goal is himself, he can't move lightly, but if Guan Yu's side can exert his strength, the situation will be very different, no matter what, first send the first batch of grain and grass to Guan Yu along Yishui.

……

"The prince, the last general is incompetent!" Mi Fang returned to Yique Pass with a disgraced face, and when she saw Guan Yu, she knelt on the ground in shame.

"It's not your fault for this." Guan Yu sighed, if this had been placed ten years ago, Guan Yu might have punished Mi Fang severely, but now...... Maybe it's because of his age, coupled with the precipitation of the past ten years, although his temperament is still arrogant, but now Guan Yu is beginning to be considerate of people and can look at problems more rationally.

Yi Yuan sat under Guan Yu's hand, frowned and thought about this matter: "Junhou, then Cao Jun cut off my grain this time, I'm afraid it is not for Junhou. ”

"Oh?" Guan Yu looked at Yi nationality.

"When it was to lure Mohou to attack, at this time, the Wei army should first break through the Hangu Pass to support the battle situation in Guanzhong, then Cao Xiu has no reason to hold on to the Junhou, I am afraid that he wants to use this to transfer out the Hangu Pass defenders!" Yi Yuan analyzed seriously.

"How could Bo Yuan's wisdom not be able to see it?" Guan Yu wasn't too worried about this, it was impossible for Liu Yi not to see what Yi and he could see.

"But Mohou had to be saved!" Izu sighed.

Guan Yu was stunned, and then suddenly realized that whether it was a personal relationship or a relationship with Liu Bei, Liu Yi could not really sit idly by, his two sons were all disciples of Liu Yi.

"Zifang!" Guan Yu looked at Mi Fang.

"The last general!" Mi Fang hurriedly bowed and said.

"How is the garrison of the Wei army where the Yang people gather?" Guan Yu has already moved his mind, and personally led the army to attack the Yang people, as for Yique Pass, even if he loses it, he can fight back and fight head-on, and now Guan Yu is really not afraid of anyone.

"The garrison is quite strict, not only set up a large number of antlers outside the battalion, but also set up beacon towers along the way, traps, the last general led the army has not yet approached, it is convenient to attack with catapults, and the rear has killed a group of men and horses, the last general can not stop it, can only retreat." Mi Fang smiled bitterly, this Wei army is like a hedgehog, it seems that it didn't think about taking the initiative to attack at all, and when he went, he was still arranging traps, it seemed that he was preparing to defend until they died.

Guan Yu was silent for a moment and said: "I should personally raise 20,000 troops to break the enemy, and wait for a good life to guard Guancheng!" ”

No matter what, you have to give it a try, otherwise you will be trapped here, and you will even have to affect Liu Yi, which is something Guan Yu never wants to see.
