The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Xu Chu sent a herald to report the news of the capture of Sanguan to Wei Yan behind him, which was supposed to be sent overnight, but the plank road was sinister and abnormal, and it was still necessary to cheer up twelve points of spirit to walk during the day, and if he wanted to pass at night, it was basically no different from looking for death, so the herald was not sent until dawn.

After the herald left, Xu Chu ordered the soldiers to eat and eat the war food, and then began to clear the remnants of the enemy, no one expected that the process of clearing the remnants of the enemy was unimaginably smooth.

It turned out that the rule of the Xiliang army had long been unpopular, when the people of Guanzhong won the enemy Yizhou army to conquer Sanguan, they all clapped their hands and applauded, they took the initiative to contact the Tiger Guard soldiers, dug out the hidden defenders one by one, and even spontaneously shot to capture the remnants of the enemy, and they were captured, none of them were handed over to the Tiger Guards alive, and they were all "entertained" to death by the angry people, and some extreme people even appeared to eat their flesh raw......

Later, some of the hidden enemy troops actually took the initiative to run out and find the Tiger Guard soldiers to surrender, when the Tiger Guard soldiers asked them the reason, they were a little crying and laughing, it turned out that they were afraid of falling into the hands of the people, once they fell into the hands of the people, it was ten deaths, and surrendered to the Tiger Guards, at least life is still very secure!

In only half a day, one of the most difficult errands in the street fighting, clearing out the remnants of the enemy, won a complete victory.

After counting, more than 1,700 people were killed and about 2,000 enemies were captured in this battle. No, all these 100 or so people died at the hands of the people!

The price paid by the Tiger Guards was negligible, with 235 dead and wounded, of which 107 were killed in battle, 48 were seriously wounded, and the rest were lightly wounded.

In the evening, Wei Yan got the news that Sanguan had been conquered, and he immediately repaired a letter to report to Liu Zhang, and at the same time asked for credit for Xu Chu, Dian Wei and all the soldiers of the Tiger Guard.

"General, I heard that Sanguan has been conquered?" Wei Yan, who was writing at the desk, was interrupted by a loud shout, and when he raised his head, he saw Zhang Fei rushing into the handsome tent in a hurry, and the sentence just now was naturally what he said.

"Yes!" Wei Yan nodded.

Zhang Fei slapped his thigh fiercely and said, "It is worthy of the Tiger Guards, I won Sanguan so quickly, if my Seventh Division goes up, I'm afraid it won't be so easy...... I haven't been able to distinguish myself from Lao Hei and Lao Idiot for a long time, and after this battle, I was trampled under their feet! "Speaking of the back, it feels quite sour.

Wei Yan said: "Yide doesn't have to be arrogant, the Tiger Guard Army is the main guard, and the soldiers are all selected from the best divisions and brigades, gathering the elite of the whole army, and the combat power is above the rest of the divisions!" But there are still people from the Seventh Division of Yide in the Tiger Guard, right? Speaking of which, the Seventh Division is also one of the in-laws of the Tiger Guard! ”

"Haha, yes, yes, the general's words are reasonable...... In the competition with the Tiger Guards, my 7th Division is much worse, this is the general trend, there is nothing to say. But even when it comes to fighting alone, among the four tiger generals of the Tiger Guard, I am only a little higher than Zhou Cang's two black faces (in the eyes of Zhang Fei and others, Dian Wei is a big black face, and Zhou Cang, who is also a general of the Tiger Guard, has become a second black face), and the big black face, the idiot, and the Wu Ming who can't make a fart with a stick are all between the two, the problem is that I can't find such a master in my seventh division, and I am a little depressed every time I see those four guys, you said that if these four guys do it together, I will be unlucky, right? ”

"The Tiger Guards have the heavy responsibility of protecting the lord, so they are naturally Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but when the two armies face each other, in the face of thousands of troops, the role of individual martial arts is minimal...... Sun Bin has disabled legs, and an ordinary soldier can easily kill him, but why was he able to defeat the powerful Wei army in the battles of Guiling and Maling, and even forced the invincible Pang Juan to commit suicide? is all because of Sun Bin's resourcefulness and resourcefulness, and he has no last resort, so he has achieved 10,000 enemies with a mere remnant...... This time, Sanguan was able to fight down, and it did not rely on the personal bravery of the two generals, Xu and Dian...... In this battle of Sanguan, the two generals Xu and Dian first lured some of the enemy troops out of the pass by luring the snake out of the pass, and after eliminating this group of enemy troops, the two generals Xu and Dian used the excuse to delay the time, until the defenders changed shifts, and only after the sky was dark did they pretend to be the Xiliang army to take the opportunity to seize the pass, don't look at this small delay, that is the key to the success or failure of this battle. After the change of the defenders, the two sides are not very familiar with each other, and it is not easy to be recognized if they are approaching in disguise, and the cover of the night can minimize the probability of being recognized, so as to win the scattered pass in one fell swoop! ”

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "The general's words are reasonable, if Xiao He, Zhang Liang, and Han Xin talk about martial arts, they are far from being comparable to Huang Peng, let alone the Chu overlord, but Emperor Gaozu does not mention Huang and Peng, and respects these three people as the three heroes of Hanxing, as for the invincible Chu overlord in the world, he was defeated under the wall, and finally ended up with Wujiang killing himself, which shows that strategy is really the way to win!" ”

……

The next day, Wei Yan led the main force of the 9th, 7th, 12th, and 15th Divisions to Sanguan one after another.

Wei Yan did not give the order to attack easily, and the army trekked hard between the mountains for more than ten days, and his physical strength was seriously insufficient, and he needed to replenish it. After sending a large number of spies in the direction of Chen Cang, he gave only two orders to the 100,000-strong army, eat and sleep!

In the previous battle, Xu Chu and Dian Wei sealed the north and south gates of Sanguan in time, and did not let an enemy escape from the pass. If Xu Chu and Dian Wei let even one enemy escape, he would definitely ignore fatigue and approach Chen Cang in line with the principle of high military speed, and then sweep through the entire hinterland of Guanzhong.

When the sun rose the next day, the commander of the 15th Division, Yonghong, led his troops straight to Chencang, and at the same time left Li Dian's cavalry independent first brigade, his task was to use the high mobility of the cavalry to assist Yonghong to surround Chencang, so that the defending enemy had no way to ask for help, and then rushed to attack Yulu and Wangxian.

After crossing the Weishui, Li Dian waved his hand, and thousands of cavalry of the First Brigade immediately roared straight to Chencang.

Chencang is bordered by Qinling in the south, Longshan in the north, Weishui in the west, and Qishan in the east, the location is unique, easy to defend and difficult to attack, in history, Hao Zhao blocked Zhuge Liang's 100,000 army with thousands of soldiers, Wei Yan wants to attack, it is not easy. Fortunately, there is a big loophole in Dong Zhuojun's defense now, that is, he is top-heavy! Dong Zhuo put a large number of troops on the front line, thus ignoring the defense in depth. Of course, there are advantages to this, because if heavy troops are deployed on the front line, it will be possible to "keep the enemy out of the country," but if the enemy forces break through the front-line positions, it will be difficult to resist the enemy's deep penetration in a limited way because of the lack of troops in the rear. Chen Cang also faced the same problem, according to pre-war intelligence, Dong Zhuo deployed a total of 5,000 elite soldiers in Chen Cang Road, of which about 1,000 were transferred to martial arts, and the remaining about 5,000 elite soldiers were all deployed in Sanguan, Chen Cang only had a small number of county soldiers stationed, these county soldiers usually levy taxes, bully and bully the common people, that is called a majestic and majestic, but let them fight with the well-trained Yizhou army, forget it, there is no comparison at all!

It only took half an hour for Li Dian to close all the passages for Chen Cang to ask for help. Chen Cang County ordered Wu Qin to be called up by the county from the concubine's room and trembled on the city wall, only glanced out, and then fainted, fortunately the county Cheng reacted in time to pull him, otherwise he might have fallen to his death in this county order.

The county commander ordered the trembling county soldiers to close the city gate, and helped Wu Qin back to the county office.

Wu Qin just fainted from being frightened, and woke up after applying a wet towel to his face.

"Has the enemy retreated?" The first thing he did when he woke up was to ask the county Cheng about the movements of the Yizhou army.

The county snorted secretly, it was clear that they were here to attack the city, how could they retreat without a fight? But he still had to answer the words of the county order: "Back to my lordship, the enemy army is besieging the city, how can you leave easily!" ”

Wu Qin scolded: "Bastard Yang Qi, incompetent, always boasted of reading military books in the past, his subordinates were sharp, and he was what kind of enemy he was, he always relied on the strong army, and Yang Feng's support, he didn't have less money, who knew that when the day was going to be critical, he couldn't stand up to the bullshit, and he was solved without knowing it, and he knew that the money and grain were sent to beggars, and it was better to feed the dogs than to spoil him!" ”

The county said: "Although Yang Qi's department has been transferred by him, there are still nearly 4,000 people, and Sanguan is a place where one man is the one and the enemy is invincible, how can it be easily taken down?" Maybe Sanguan is still in his hands, did he send someone to ask him for help? ”

"Fart, if Sanguan is still in his hands, will the soldiers and horses outside the city fly from the sky? How else to say he's a piece of shit? Thousands of soldiers and horses were stationed in Sanguan, and they were solved so silently, even if they were fed thousands of dogs, they had to bark a few times when they were dying, so that the owner knew that there were guests in the house who were uninvited, right? ”

The county man nodded: "Your Excellency ......"

"Report ......," someone shouted outside the door.

"Come in!" Wu Qin knew that there would be no good news, so he said coldly.

A pawn almost ran in and said, "Go back to the big ...... My lord...... A large group of enemy infantry came from outside the city, and look...... It seems that there are tens of thousands of people, and the ...... who are all over the mountains are obviously overly frightened, and they can't speak.

"What?" Wu Qin grabbed the pawn's collar and said, "Did you see clearly?" ”

"Back to ...... Back to the ...... The people, the villain saw it clearly, and the brothers on the city wall also saw it......"

"Let's go down!" Wu Qin sat down weakly and said dejectedly.

"Yes!"

"Originally, I thought that the other party was cavalry, and the siege was powerless, and I wanted to send people out of the city at night to ask for help from Xiangye, but the clinker of the other side infantry came so quickly, and the enemy would attack the city in a blink of an eye, do you have a clever plan to retreat from the enemy?" Wu Qin said to the county.

The county worshipped and said: "Back to my lordship, there are only 600 soldiers and horses in the county, and the enemy army is as many as tens of thousands, and the difference in strength is huge......

"Alas, the county also knows that it will be difficult for you to come up with a solution......"

"My lord, there are no soldiers available in the city, and the destruction of the city is a foregone conclusion, and my subordinates think that now is not the time to think about how to repel the enemy army, but to think about how to save your life! If the adults don't make a decision, once the city is broken, the adults are afraid of being imprisoned! ”

"This county also knows, but if we surrender to the enemy, if the prime minister investigates it in the future, you and I will have no luck!"

"Back to my lord, if you make a decision early, you don't have to wait until later, you will be killed right now! Moreover, the villain Guan Yizhou Mu is clear and clear, and the people under his rule live and work in peace and contentment, and the people are rich and rich, and Lord Liu has won the hearts of the people and will become a great tool in the future. Xiangye's personality is arrogant, brutal and arrogant, the people are evil, not the capital of the master, and sooner or later he will die. This time, Liu Zhoumu made a large-scale northern expedition, and there was a great tendency to pacify Guanzhong. Now that the pass has been lost, Chen Cang is not guaranteed, Liu Zhoumu's army is a foregone conclusion, if it is combined with the main force of martial arts, it is easy to defeat the main force of Xiangye, the adult is not as good as early to vote, but also to ensure the health of the house, if Liu Zhoumu is reused, the marquis is not compensated! ”

Seeing Wu Qin, the county Cheng frowned and began to think, and said: "The so-called gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, and now the failure of the prime minister is a foregone conclusion. If the adult is delayed for half a moment, it will be too late to enter the city by Liu Zhoumu's army, and the adult will be accused of the party of Xiangye, if the good luck may be able to save his life, if the luck is not good, he will be guilty and full of doors, so please make a decision as soon as possible! ”

Wu Qin patted the table violently and said, "I have decided, Kaicheng welcomes the righteous master into the city, you go with me to greet the righteous master, and ask Liu Zhoumu for his guilt!" ”

"Your Excellency is wise!" The county man praised.
