Chapter 177: The Oath of Duty

Liu Zhang thought suspiciously, the First Independent Infantry Brigade was expanded from the original trapped camp, and the elite of the soldiers was second only to the First Independent Infantry Division and the Tiger Guard Division adapted from the British Army......

After a long time, Liu Zhang asked in a deep voice: "Shenzhi, if you are allowed to personally lead the First Independent Brigade, can you be sure to capture Luoyukou?" ”

Gao Shun strode forward and said categorically: "Lord Lord, as long as my independent First Brigade still exists, I will capture Luoyukou for Lord Gong!" ”

"Then think that from the launch of the attack to the capture of Luoyukou, how long will it take? Once the enemy reinforcements arrived, the 1st Independent Brigade was in a bad situation! ”

Gao Shun said: "Back to the lord, even if it is a strong attack, the last general will have the confidence to break through Luoyukou within one day!" The last general is not a mouthful, the last general of Luoyukou has long been familiar with the terrain, and the last general has already imitated a training base according to the terrain of Luoyukou, and our first independent brigade has been conducting targeted training in the base for a month, so the last general is confident that it will be broken through in one day! ”

"How are you going to deal with the siege machine? No matter how elite the 1st Independent Brigade is, it is impossible to fly over Luoyukou without siege equipment such as ladders, crashes, and wells. ”

"Back to the lord, according to reconnaissance, there is a bamboo forest not far south of Luoyukou, the bamboo is thick and tenacious, it can be cut down to make a simple ladder, it is convenient and fast, and hundreds of planes can be built in half a day. The wall of Xieyukou is only four zhang high, and the bamboo ladder can completely set up the wall and send our army into the pass! ”

Liu Zhang nodded, it seemed that Wei Yan and Chen Gong had done enough work, and everything had been taken into account, he looked at everyone and said, "Don't you have any other opinions?" ”

Everyone thought for a moment, the enemy army set up a turtle formation according to the Qin Mountains, and they had an empty army but nowhere to speak, and now this seemed to be the only way, and they agreed with Chen Gong's strategy.

Liu Zhang looked at Wei Yan, the commander of the First Field Legion: "Chief Wen, do you think it is feasible to take the public platform?" ”

Wei Yan hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed: "My lord, the last general has deduced with Shenzhi, Gongtai, etc., and the last general is foolish, and this seems to be the best way right now!" ”

Liu Zhang stood up and shouted, "The generals obey orders!" The reconnaissance units directly under the First Field Army Corps were ordered to go deep into the front line of Sanguan to investigate the enemy's situation, and the logistics support divisions of the First Field Army Corps and the Fourth Field Army Corps were ordered to seize the time to repair the Fu Luo Road. From today, the First Independence Brigade will be exempted from daily training, recuperate and be ready to go to the front at any time, while the rest of the troops will seize the time to train in mountain marching and combat matters. ”

"The last will be ordered!"

……

Soon, a construction army of 50,000 people, composed of the logistics support divisions of the 1st and 4th Field Corps and some civilian soldiers, under the protection of 10,000 infantry, vigorously began the project of repairing the Fu Luo Road.

Liu Zhang didn't intend to hide this news, and he couldn't hide it at all, more than ten days later, Li Le learned the news, but he didn't report it to Yang Feng, but reported it directly to Chang'an. As a result, he was scolded by Dong Zhuo, Li Le's careful thinking, how could he not know that Dong Zhuo did not prohibit his subordinates from fighting for power and profit, he thought that this was a good way to maintain the strong morale of the army, and it was also a wonderful way to prevent his subordinates from forming parties for personal gain, but if he did not prioritize the fight in the nest, this was not what he wanted to see. At present, Liu Zhang's Northern Expedition is imminent, and the Qinling defense line can be said to be related to the life and death of Dong Zhuojun, and Li Le has not forgotten the infighting when he needs to be in the same boat, which has touched Dong Zhuo's low line, after he scolded Li Le in Chang'an, he reprimanded Li Le in writing, and ordered him to absolutely obey Yang Feng's general orders, and fully assist Yang Feng to hold the Qinling defense line. With Li Le's understanding of Dong Zhuo, this is definitely not to scare him, it is really that Qinling is too important to allow the slightest mistake...... He immediately wrote to Yang Feng, reported the situation, and said that everything was subject to Yang Feng's orders.

Yang Feng got the news that Liu Zhangjun was vigorously repairing Fu Luo Road, and at this time Yang Qi reported that Liu Zhangjun's scouts had been found outside the pass, these scouts were well-trained, their whereabouts were secretive, and it was extremely difficult to detect, if it were not for Yang Qi to arrange a secret post in the mountains in advance, it would be impossible to find out the whereabouts of the other party.

Yang Feng compared the intelligence of the two and couldn't help laughing: "The carving insect is also a small skill!" On the one hand, he laughed at the fact that there was no one in Yizhou, and on the other hand, he sent soldiers from Luo Dao, Meridian Dao and Bao Shudao to prepare to give Liu Zhangjun a head-on attack, and he even went to Sanguan to prepare to personally command this ambush battle. At the same time, he reported the news to Chang'an, attaching his own views and decisions. Dong Zhuo called Li Ru to discuss after getting Yang Feng's report, Li Ru knew the ability of Liu Zhang's army strategists, in his opinion, the plan of the sons of Yingchuan would not be so superficial, and the real attack was definitely not Chen Cang, Liu Zhang did this to take the opportunity to mobilize the defenders, so that there were loopholes in the defense line, and then Liu Zhang would try to show the dagger. It's just that he can't judge where Liu Zhang really wants to attack, in his opinion, it is unlikely to be Fu Luo Dao, it should be one of the Meridian Dao and the Bao Slope Dao.

Li Ru was Dong Zhuo's most trusted person, he nodded in agreement with Li Ru's words, but he couldn't find Liu Zhang's target, so he had no way to prepare for it, so he immediately gave Yang Feng an order to let him strengthen the vigilance of Fu Luo Dao, Bao Chuan Dao and Meridian Dao, and at the same time fortify the troops and horses from all directions. Dong Zhuo, who knew how important the Qinling front line was to him, did not dare to be careless, so in order to prevent mistakes, he transferred 15,000 troops from Chang'an and was led by Zhang Ji to strengthen the Qinling defense line. Three years ago, Zhang Ji's crusade against Ma Teng and Han Sui was unsuccessful, and he was removed from his post and replaced by Li Dao and Guo Yan, while he himself returned to Chang'an to hang up a false post as a Zhendong general and has been idle at home. This time he was able to put on his armor again, Zhang Ji was very excited, and when he returned home, he took his nephew to the front line of Qinling with great momentum, but he didn't see a thoughtful and frowning brow in the team.

On the other hand, Yang Feng didn't care about it after getting the book, and he thought that Li Le deliberately made a stumbling block for himself in front of Dong Zhuo, and he became more and more dissatisfied with Li Le. Since the Yellow Turban Incident, Yang Feng has been fighting for nearly ten years, he knows how important the prestige of the main general is, if he changes the order every day, and orders the army to return to their respective defense areas, then he will be discredited, and if he has any general orders in the future, I am afraid that everyone will disobey the yang and the yin. However, Dong Zhuo's order had to be obeyed, and Yang Feng, who was convinced of his judgment of the direction of the attack, delayed for several days before he was extremely unwilling to issue the order to return to the station.

The Xiliang army from top to bottom did not realize that between the correspondence between Yang Feng and Dong Zhuo, Yang Feng deliberately delayed for a few days in order to save face before announcing the order to return to the garrison, and when the soldiers dragged their feet to return to the garrison, a lot of time was wasted, and Liu Zhang immediately issued the order for the 1st Infantry Independent Brigade to attack as soon as he learned that Yang Feng ordered the transfer of troops to support Chen Cang!

In 195 AD, in the second year of Han Xingping, on the ninth day of June in the autumn, the general of the Han Dynasty Che and the two states, Duyi Jing Erzhou Affairs, and Chengdu Hou Liu Zhang personally led 190,000 horse infantry troops, known as 300,000, in the south Zheng swore to go out, and the northern expedition of the Han thief Dong Zhuo, asked Dong Weiwen to convey the world, and called on people of insight in the world to participate in righteous deeds.

After the oath-taking meeting, Gao Shun personally went into battle and led 1,000 soldiers of the 1st Independent Infantry Brigade into the Qinling Mountains. Li Yan led the second echelon of the first infantry division, close behind!
