Although Wuguan is not majestic, but it is like an iron gate born between the mountains, with its indifferent image silently blocking every trampler, since ancient times, this is the place where soldiers must fight, and Wuguan has never disappointed his owner,

Trying to make a hole in this place, unless you have ten times as many troops—

And absolute perseverance!

Since the Han army took Xinye, the Wei army stationed in Nanxiang had no danger to defend, and was forced to give up most of the land and retreat to Funiu Mountain in Sizhou.

Cao Pi, of course, would not sit idly by and watch the Han army attack Chang'an, and when he was not sure of recapturing Xinye, he increased his forces to Wancheng while ordering Cao Zhen, who had just broken the Qiang-Hu coalition army, to send people to strengthen the city defense of Wuguan.

Cao Zhen sent Fei Yao, who had just established meritorious service on the battlefield, to be responsible for the city defense of Wuguan, and instructed Wuguan to be the foundation of Chang'an, and it must be strictly guarded and beware of the Shu army.

Fei Yao was also a cautious person, he felt that it was really a very dangerous thing to let the Han army attack Wuguan, so he set up three more outposts in the southeast of Wuguan, strictly checked the merchants who came and went, and once he found the traces of the Han army, he immediately prevented all merchants from entering the customs, and lit a beacon fire to warn Wuguan.

In this way, as long as the Han army attacks, Wuguan will have enough time to complete the war preparations, and with the strength of Wuguan, the Han army can only use human lives to attack even if it arrives in the city.

Strategy is a good strategy, and Fei Yao is also a cautious person, but he never expected that the opponent would make him a famous player like him a little incomprehensible.

After the Wei army withdrew from Nanxiang, Guan Ping immediately ordered Shen Tan and Meng Da to enter and maintain absolute suppression of Wuguan in the north and Wancheng in the east.

Meng Da also gained trust because of his betrayal of Laimin, and the total strength of the two had expanded to 20,000, and they soon launched one attack after another on Wuguan.

Uh, if it's an offense......

Shen Tan's every attack is huge, he seems to have learned Zhao Hao's tactics of playing mediocre times, when he sent troops, gongs and drums were noisy and red flags were displayed, and only a hundred people could make a posture of thousands of troops.

Seeing the surging army outside, several sentry posts set up by Fei Yao immediately began to light beacons to report the news, and the Wuguan was also immediately sealed to remain on alert at any time.

But they soon found that Shen Tan's attack was thunderous and rainy, and he basically retreated quickly after going around in a circle, not only did the legendary artifact Xiangyang Cannon that broke through Xiangyang not show up, but Shen Tan did not even command his subordinates to launch even one strong attack.

He saw that the outposts were in a hurry, lit the beacon fire, and hurried away, as shameless as a child who loved to watch pranks.

He can be so shameless, Fei Yao can't stand it, Shen Tan has always been ghostly, the front line of Wuguan is always in a tense state, whether to do business or not is secondary, but he has been doing this, and a group of soldiers are physically and mentally exhausted.

If Shen Tan had been playing like this, Fei Yao would have been really desperate, but as the heat became stronger day by day, he actually heard a good news for the first time.

Liu Bei is dead?

Liu Bei is dead!

At first, the news came from a merchant who came to Wuguan, but Wuguan always closed the customs at every turn, and Fei Yao's intelligence source was also cut off, so he had to exclude a group of people to go outside to investigate.

The result of the investigation was that the Shu army was really messy, and they didn't even bother to engage in daily harassment, and began to retreat and hold the checkpoint in Nanxiang.

Could it be that Liu Bei is really dead?

Fei Yao felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, he knew what Liu Bei meant to the Han army, that was their soul and cornerstone, without Liu Bei's banner with great appeal, the Han army would definitely fall into a dormant state for a while, and would definitely not launch a large-scale military battle.

After all, this kind of thing must be connected with the follow-up military action, once the Wuguan is attacked, it means that the Han army's military operation against Chang'an will be officially launched-

That would definitely involve a large-scale movement of more troops, which would require a stable court and decision-making to promote.

However, the cautious Fei Yao still did not relax his vigilance easily, he opened the Wuguan and released some business travelers, mixed with many spies of the Wei army, and began to slowly approach Nanxiang and Xinye.

"Hey, is Liu Bei really dead?"

Fei Yao was diligent and inquisitive, and wrote a letter to Cao Zhen, who was stationed in Chang'an.

Cao Zhen is in the prime of life, his dark face is angular, his long beard is as shiny as a steel needle, he sits in front of the desk, carefully reads Fei Yao's letter, and his face has shown a little joy.

He has been on the battlefield for a long time and has a keen sense of smell, and he quickly judged that Liu Bei might really be hanging.

Sitting at the bottom of Cao Zhen is the sick-faced Liangzhou assassin Zhang Ji, the two have just cooperated in the Western Regions to break the Qiang Hu, Cao Zhen is very serious about this brave and resourceful literati, read the letter again, and said respectfully:

"Dare to ask Zhang Gong's opinion?"

Zhang Ji pondered carefully for a moment, and said with difficulty: "I have long heard that Liu Bei was angry after Zhang Fei's death, and he was already seriously ill in the White Emperor, even if he died, it is not impossible.

However, Zhao Hao is scheming, and he can't speculate with common sense, General Wen Lie's attack on Shiting is this trick, and the more now, the more we must vigorously strengthen the defense of Wuguan City, so that Zhao Hao has nothing to do. ”

Cao Zhen nodded vigorously and said, "Back then, when Jia returned to the expedition, Guangwu once said that with you, what troubles are there." It is a blessing to have such a great talent as Zhang Gong in our army. ”

Zhang Ji coughed vigorously a few times and sighed: "Don't dare, you can't dare, you can only do your best, and I hope not to disgrace the Son of Heaven!" ”

He straightened up and said, "Speaking of Zhao Hao, Zidan, what do you think of this person?" ”

Cao Zhen, who had a big beard, had sharp eyes, and when he heard Zhao Hao's name, he couldn't help but straighten up and said, "Zhao Hao, who has a lot of tricks in his life, is really a strong enemy of my Great Wei."

If I fight against him, I will not be able to defeat him. ”

Zhang Ji smiled and said: "Although Zhao Hao is strong, he is just a ** mortal, I have made people probe all his battles, and I have a little experience, I don't know if Zidan is willing to listen to me." ”

Cao Zhenxin said that if there is a fart, you will let it go, the literati are really eventful, but on the surface, he still pretended to be overjoyed, and said:

"Zidan, please ask Zhang Gong to solve your doubts."

Zhang felt very embarrassed, coughed a few times, took out a booklet from his arms, slowly spread it out, and read word by word:

"Zhao Hao was originally just a junior general under Guan Yu, who didn't understand the method of battle formation, and was only good at scheming.

The attack on Xiangyang was the first battle in his life, first using Xiangyang artillery to create momentum, luring Lu Chang to open the city, supplemented by a strong army to attack, and conquering Xiangyang Jiancheng overnight - but Lu Chang had few soldiers, which was not his fault. ”

"The second battle was the battle of Xiakou, which was unexpected, and the soldiers were few and defenseless, so they were forced to ask Jiangdong to come to help.

And Wu Kou thought that Zhao Hao had few soldiers, so he fell into Zhao Hao's hub, and the naval army was lost in the first battle, so that Zhao Hao could calmly cross the river and occupy Xiakou. ”

"The third battle, is the battle of guarding Xiakou, this person is not a gentleman, after entering the city, the wall clears the wilderness, collects grain, cuts off the Yangtze River with a lone army, Wu Kou repeatedly attacked and could not get, and was forced to withdraw the army.

However, after investigating his plan, he framed and spread rumors, saying that there were internal ghosts in Wu Kou's army, and he attacked early, and first beheaded General Wu Kou before he could win. ”

"When attacking Shangyong, he pretended to be Liu Bei's commander, so that Xu Huang and Xiahou Shang sat on the army and did not dare to come out, and the city encountered the Mengda Rebellion, so the army collapsed......"

Zhang Ji coughed repeatedly, his face was excited, and his haggard face was stuffy and red.

In other words, Zhao Hao's best use is the method of demagogy.

Although his backering army is strong, there has never been a precedent for large-scale frontal battles with people, and whenever he uses troops, this person must first bluff, frame loyalty, mobilize troops, and set up ambushes.

Then, when the time is ripe, suddenly make a sudden move, find out where the enemy army is, and win in one go! ”

Cao Zhen gasped, he thought for a moment, and couldn't help nodding vigorously: "What Zhang Gong said is extremely true, in the battle of Shiting, this thief also conspired with Eastern Wu first, led Wenlie into the encirclement, cut off the way back, and messed up his mind, so he sent troops to fight Wenlie. ”

"So...... Before, Taiwei Jia used a strange plan, wanting to take advantage of Zhao Hao's eastern expedition to concentrate his forces to eliminate him, which was the right way!

In my opinion, Zhao Hao's use of troops is not according to common sense, and as soon as Liu Bei dies, he may launch a sneak attack while our army is unprepared.

As long as our army can strictly defend its position, trust each other, and never be provoked by Zhao Hao, the defense will be safe.

When Zhao Hao's skills are exhausted, I will take the road to attack Zhao Hao's place with elite soldiers and cut off his lifeline, and then Zhao Hao will not be able to show his ability even if he has a thousand skills. ”

Cao Zhen slapped his thigh excitedly and said: "Wonderful, really wonderful, then, I'll go and tell Fei Yao that you must strictly guard against it, don't be careless, and don't send troops to fight in the field!" ”

Zhang Ji nodded lightly, his pale face was still flushed,

Zhao Hao, Zhao Hao, even if you are the first general in the world, I Zhang also have the ability to keep you out of Guanzhong.

It's a pity.

He coughed a few more times, and a heavy exhaustion enveloped his body.

I don't know how long it can last, I hope this old bone can still come in handy.

Cao Zhen stood up excitedly, paced back and forth in the military tent with his hands behind his back, and calculated:

"If it is really as Zhang Gong said, this battle is a battle of life and death for my Great Wei, and the enemy should not be underestimated, why don't I play the Son of Heaven and mobilize the army of Guanzhong to Wuguan to prevent Zhao Haogou from jumping off the wall in a hurry?"

"This is not necessary, if Zhao Hao sees that we are heavily defended and cannot mobilize our Wuguan troops for a while, he will naturally ......"

Before Zhang finished speaking, a herald hurriedly ran in and put a letter on Cao Zhen's case.

Cao Zhen opened it casually, his eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle slowly, he looked up and down for a long time, and said suspiciously: "How can this be?" ”

"What did Fei Yao say again?"

"Now it has been ascertained that Liu Bei really died of illness, and before his death, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhao Hao, and Li Yan assisted the government, and established Liu Chan as the puppet emperor, and now several people have returned to Chengdu together to support the coffin!"

"This ......"

Zhang Ji hurriedly took the letter, only to see that it was conclusive, saying that Zhao Hao had indeed gone back.

He is now an auxiliary minister, and his status is prominent, like a firefly in the night, and it is still difficult to make a mistake about this bit of information from the Wei army.

Moreover, as an auxiliary minister, he has not been to Chengdu yet, so he must go there early in order to establish his own team and foundation in the court, otherwise he will be alone in the field, and he will not be allowed to knead.

Zhang Ji and Cao Zhen never imagined that Zhao Hao could actually mix with the auxiliary minister, and they were in a daze for a while, but Zhang Ji reacted first and muttered:

"It suddenly occurred to me that if Zhao Hao took the opportunity to attack, he would not necessarily have to go to Wuguan."

"How so?"

"Wuguan is too obvious, and Shen Tan has attacked several times before, and our army is heavily defended, this may be Zhao Hao's suspicious strategy, he is likely to ......

That's right, the sound of the east and the west, attract our main forces in Wuguan, and then lead the army to attack Chen Cang, just like what happened to Han Xin back then!
