Section 277 Next Steps
"Shouldn't we immediately send troops to Chuzhong County and take Yangping Pass?"
Listening to Cheng Lian's question, and looking at his face again, Jin Jue understood that this guy must have been in the battle of Nanzheng City at night, and he didn't have a good time, and now he must be impatient to attack Yangping Pass.
"Hehehe, General Cheng, next, there is a battle to fight, but the opponent you are about to encounter is not Zhang Lu or the defenders of Yangping Pass." Jin Jue replied with a smile.
"How is this possible, son, you failed to capture Zhang Lu himself, how can Yangpingguan be willing to surrender to you?" Cheng Lian asked in surprise when he heard this.
He heard it, Jin Jue seemed to be very sure that he would take Yangping Pass without spending a single soldier.
"Whether it succeeds or not, General Cheng can wait and see!" Jin Jue smiled and did not continue to argue with him on this matter, but ordered: "In this way, General Cheng, you return to the blockade line now, let Shen Tan and Shen Yi brothers continue to maintain the blockade line, and you immediately lead the troops and horses of your headquarters to attack Chuyang County." Once you take this county, you can bring their brother to this county. Next, you can recruit as many soldiers as you can. ”
Hearing this, Cheng Lian shook his head again and again, and said dissatisfiedly: "Childe, do you plan to let me take this little person to attack Yangping Pass?" This can't be done, at the very least, you have to give me these 10,000 people! ”
Jin Jue shook his head and explained in detail: "Who said that I was going to let you attack Yangping Pass? General Cheng, you can listen well, next, this son will give you a simple, but extremely difficult task. You must have known by now that from Hanzhong County to Bashu, there are two well-known passages - Micang Road and Jinniu Road.
Now, Wei Yan and Yang Ren are going to compete for the Golden Bull Dao. Once they led their army into Sanba and succeeded in persuading some of the Ban Yu tribes, it would inevitably put great military pressure on Liu Zhang's army. Liu Zhang will inevitably transfer some troops from Shu County to reinforce Sanba, and may even negotiate peace with Zhang Lu, if they join forces, the pressure on Wei Yan and Yang Ren will be great.
Therefore, not to mention that you brought back 10,000 people, I also plan to ask Yang Ang to recruit another 10,000 people in the city and personally lead the army to Sanba. At this time, Shu County's defense may be slack. Therefore, General Cheng, after you take Chuyang County and collect enough manpower, you can take this opportunity to surprise attack the Great Sword Pass and open up the Golden Bull Road to Shu County.
If you succeed, General Cheng, this son will be sure to completely take the entire Yizhou within a year. Of course, before you send out your troops, Ben Gongzi must make it clear that this sneak attack is just a tentative battle. Therefore, you don't need to bring too many soldiers into the battle this sneak attack. The terrain of Dajian Pass is extremely dangerous, and it is not inferior to Yangping Pass at all.
Moreover, the deployment situation at this time at Dajian Pass is likely to be the opposite of what this son expected. Perhaps, after Sanba is threatened by our army, Liu Zhang will not only increase his troops to Sanba, but also increase his troops to Dajian Pass to prevent our army from sneaking attack.
How, General Cheng, if you are afraid, after taking Chuyang County, you can just stay in the city obediently, and there is no need to take such risks. After all, even I felt that this was too risky. ”
When Cheng Lian heard this, he stared at the two bull's eyes, stared at Jin Jue's face, looked at the other party's face, and asked in surprise: "Childe, are you sure that this strategy didn't let me take the initiative to send him to death?" ”
"Nonsense, didn't Ben Gongzi say it? If you are afraid of death and don't want to go, you can stay in the county town of Chuyang. This plan from this son is just a temptation, and he is testing the defense of the Great Sword Pass, not testing you again. Besides, the Golden Bull Road is narrow, and if you send a large army, it will expose the army in advance. Forget it, just assume that Ben Gongzi was talking to the air just now, and you should just not hear it. When Jin Jue heard this, he waved his hand without curiosity, turned around and prepared to leave.
"But, Childe, the 2,000 men under my command are really too few, and according to estimates, the defenders there in Chuyang County are only 5,000 at most, and they are all not specially trained. I'm afraid it won't be possible! Cheng Lian was a little moved when he heard Jin Jue's slightly agitated words, but he still made a final effort and pleaded.
Jin Jue understood as soon as he heard it, this guy fell in love with the 1,000 people under Fu Tong, if these 1,000 people were merged into Cheng Lian's command, even if Cheng Lian didn't take away all the defenders in Weiyang County, even if he didn't recruit soldiers in Weiyang County, he was half sure of taking the Dajian Pass and completely opening up the passage from Hanzhong County to Shuzhong.
After Cheng Lian finished speaking, he looked at Jin Jue with a blank eye, Jin Jue pondered for a long time, and then finally nodded and replied: "Okay, this son will order Fu Tong to assign manpower to you." However, this son once again advises you, General Cheng, this sneak attack on Dajian Pass is just a tentative move, once you find that the city is well guarded, don't choose to continue to fight hard.
After all, these 3,000 people are the elite soldiers we have carefully selected and trained with all our might, and they are not comparable to these Hanzhong troops. In addition, when you sneak attack the city, you can hand it over to the middle-level officers in your army, and if you go into battle in person without the orders of your son, your lieutenant will have the right to immediately remove your military power. Did you hear me? ”
The 5,000 soldiers brought by Jin Jue from Luoyang County were originally from the Yellow Turban Army and had some combat experience, and after a winter and two months of hard training in Shangyong County, they did not dare to call it the most elite army in the world, but if these 5,000 people were placed in the entire Yizhou, they would definitely be the elite of the elite. What's more, each of them is equipped with the most offensive individual weapon of this era - the Golden Arm Crossbow.
"I know, I know, but please rest assured. Cheng is not stupid, if it is placed on flat ground, except for Wen Hou, I dare to put it against anyone, but in the ghost place of Yizhou, there are more mountains than people, I am tired of being crooked, so I went to attack the city in person? Cheng Lian was overjoyed when he heard this, and he patted his chest vigorously and promised loudly.
In fact, Cheng Lian really thought so, if it was placed in the city on flat ground, he would dare to join the Xiandeng army shirtless, but if it was placed in a mountain city or a dangerous pass, he would not take risks.
So, after Cheng Lian and Fu Tong handed over, they immediately left Nanzheng City with 3,000 elite soldiers.
