Chapter 223: The Beginning Is Unfavorable
Huang Zhong, Yan Yan, and Liu Feng failed to take Tiandang Mountain and returned to Jiameng Pass.
In a few days, Liu Bei's army arrived. Gather the crowd.
Huang Zhong and Yan Yan rescued Jiameng Pass, retreated to Cao Hong, and Liu Bei rewarded him.
Chen Shi, who came here, reported to Liu Bei, "Ma Mingge Road is blocked by Cao's army, and we are defeated and fled back here." ”
Liu Bei said indifferently: "As expected, this is just an attempt, and it doesn't hurt if it doesn't work." ”
Afterwards, Chen Shi stepped back and waited for orders.
Liu Bei also said: "Ma Chao has retreated to Yinping, it is reported that Cao Ang's army has entered the land of Hanzhong, and the enemy army is claimed to be 400,000. We have few soldiers, how can we meet the enemy? ”
Kong Ming said: "400,000, I'm afraid it's false." It must be Cao Jun's consistent strategy and bluff. However, there must be 200,000, plus the soldiers here in Hanzhong, there are probably more than 300,000. ”
Liu Bei heard this and nodded slightly, "How do you think our army will enter the army?" ”
Huang Quan said: "Cao's army took Hanzhong, took advantage of Hanzhong, and attacked the three counties in the north of Yizhou, Ba County, Badong County, and Pasir County. However, Pan Feng's army division and General Wei Yan took back Brazil and broke through Badong, and now they are approaching Hanzhong. ”
"Our army can advance to Yangping Pass, become an encirclement and fight, Cao's army is suffering from the enemy, Brazil is advancing and disturbing, and Hanzhong will definitely be taken."
Kong Mingyan: "It's useless, unless you win every battle, take Yangping Pass with one blow." Cao's army has a lot of soldiers and horses, Hanzhong has abundant grain and grass, and there are capable and brave generals. This method is not feasible, if you want to win, you can only destroy the grain land in Hanzhong first, and then fight the war. ”
Liu Bei said: "But our army can't afford to spend a long time, Jingzhou is in danger of Cao Sun's two armies, and after that, it will definitely be attacked in two places." In the previous war in Yizhou, the soldiers and civilians could not afford to consume it, so they still had to fight quickly. ”
Immediately ordered, "Gao Xiang! Ru's first army went to Yangping Pass to set up a village to investigate, and our army arrived later. ”
Yangpingguan
Gao Xiang led the troops and horses to march here, "This place is dangerous, occupies a high place, and can go down here." ”
was commanding to go up the mountain, and a group of Cao troops on the mountain rushed down, unstoppable. Gao Xiang immediately asked everyone to meet the enemy, "Rise up!" ”
The enemy general, commanding the Cao army, became a sword, and took advantage of the terrain to rush the cavalry. Liu Jun could not stop it, and broke through a line in Liu's army, and the enemy general killed Gao Xiang.
"Capture the thief and capture the king first!" The enemy stabbed and shot Gao Xianglai.
Gao Xiang swung his knife to engage in battle, and was ambushed at this time, and he couldn't stay for a long time, "Withdraw first!" ”
"Where to run!" The enemy general pursued Gao Xiang, Gao Xiang was chased and killed all the way, and Liu Jun was defeated and fled.
When the enemy general saw that Liu Jun had fled away, he no longer pursued. "Go back!"
On the Yangping Pass, Cao Ang and Pang Tong saw that they had set up an ambush and led the generals back.
"Wang Ping's victory is back."
The leading general Wang Ping went to the city to see the two, "Liu Jun has been defeated and retreated!" ”
Cao Angzhi praised, "What the general said is correct, but Liu Jun is here, and he is really the style of a general." ”
Pang Tong said: "You moved from Yizhou to Chang'an with Du Hao and Pu Hu, if it wasn't for the lord's recruitment, you would really bury the general." ”
Wang Ping said: "I make good use of the geographical situation, know the danger in Hanzhong, and now the country is in need, and I will definitely repay it." ”
Brazil
Shi Yue and the two of them held the county here, and when they learned that Cao's army had entered Hanzhong, they were quite worried, and the other party was coming to attack, and they were afraid that it would be difficult to defend. Brazil is broken, and then the enemy army will advance all the way, and they will not be able to hold Brazil, and they will definitely not be able to hold the rear. But it should be no problem, keep it for a year or two, and there will be Liaohua grain and grass support in the rear. You don't have to go deep into the dangerous places in Hanzhong and go to the battlefield in person. It was the right choice to come to Ba County to farm before.
"Report!" The soldier suddenly ran in.
Shi Yue was shocked, "The enemy army is coming?" Who leads? How many people? ”
The soldier reported: "Yan Yan Taishou led the troops here!" ”
Shi Yue was stunned, "Come to help?"
"Old General Yan! What happened? Shi Yue went out to meet him.
Yan Yan smiled and said, "I am ordered by the lord to come here to guard Brazil for the lord. ”
For? You're wrong, right? It should be "help". Shi Yue's eyes widened, as if he didn't understand.
Yan Yan said again: "The lord asked the military advisor to immediately lead Wei Yan to Jiameng Pass and assist Hanzhong." ”
"Strategist? Strategist? Yan Yan saw that the other party was motionless and did not respond, as if the whole person was frozen.
……
Shi Yue led his troops and horses to Jiameng Pass.
"Why am I going? I wasn't specified. Zhang He asked.
"Meet your new boss and get you a job." Shi Yue said with a pale face.
Zhang He couldn't understand what he said, and looked at Wei Yan with a puzzled expression, "What does the general mean?" ”
Wei Yan said indifferently: "If you don't understand, you don't have to think about it, you often talk nonsense." ”
Shi Yue said again: "I am a military advisor, don't call me a general, it was a long time ago...... "I am good in this Brazil, who is it?" Who called me? You are short of people! Why do you call me with such a high configuration!
Jia Meng Pass
Previously, Gao Xiang led the army first, was defeated and returned, fled all the way, and saw Liu Bei's army who had come. I will inform him of the situation.
Liu Bei listened to the words and discussed with the others, planning to return to Jiameng Pass first. "The enemy is defending, our army is attacking, if it is not broken, it will damage our army greatly. Or after returning to the customs, think about it in the long run. ”
Not long after, Shi Yue had already arrived here, leading Wei Yan and Zhang He to see Liu Bei and inform them of the previous incident.
After hearing this, Kong Ming ordered: "Drag this person down and behead him." ”
The knife and axe hand immediately surrounded Zhang He, and Shi Yue was terrified, "Why does Kong Ming want to kill him!" ”
Kong Ming said: "As a general of the army, if something happens, he will abandon the master." Three times or four times, this person can join our army today, and he can abandon our army one day. Just in case, cut it first. ”
Shi Yue explained: "It's not that, Jizhou voted for Yuan, that's ownerless." It was because he listened to me that he descended to Cao. Today's vote is my kind words to wake up, the lord can rest assured, I guarantee with my life, he will not vote again. ”
Liu Bei pondered: "If I behead him, everyone who comes to surrender will be in danger and hurt the name of our army." ”
When Kong Ming heard this, he had no choice but to say: "You can be loyal to the Lord, don't have different hearts, if you have different hearts, I will take your head." ”
Zhang He responded and retreated.
Shi Yue breathed a sigh of relief, you kid has really changed bosses too many times. Fortunately, I have a big face, and they are willing to give this face.
Liu Bei said again: "Now I invite the military division here to discuss how to attack Cao, and now the Cao army is surging and difficult to fight." ”
Shi Yue doesn't know how to fight, it's different from the history in the book. This time, we have more soldiers and enough food, and we will fight head-on, and as long as we lose one of the important passes, we will directly collapse completely.
During the discussion, the horse was in a hurry.
"The army of Cao Jun is marching towards Jiameng Pass!"
The faces of the people were stunned, they looked at each other, and they said to each other. Shi Yue pretended to be calm, his eyes glanced at everyone, and he saw Kong Ming's expression solemn, but there was anxiety in his eyes. After all, this time they are in the same door, and the two must know each other and know each other's abilities. His eyes noticed another person, Fa Zheng, who did not speak from beginning to end, and his expression did not change.
