Chapter 395: Parting Ways
When Guan Ping entered Jianmen Pass, the Shu army in Guannei was 50,000 and was caught off guard. Many Shu soldiers hurriedly ran out of the camp tents, and then they were not killed by Guan Ping, but also "co-opted" by Wu Fang; There are not a few people who surrender on their knees.
These soldiers of the Shu army are just patchwork and improvised, not only are they not elite, but they are not even as good as the Tuntian soldiers!
When Guan Yu led the army into the Sword Gate Pass, the battle in the Sword Gate Pass was almost over.
After all, Guan Ping's thousand elite horsemen are elite, rushing left and right in the Jianmen Pass, unstoppable. Even Pang Xi and the thousands of people who were temporarily organized were killed and scattered by Guan Ping, and Pang Xi himself was beheaded by Guan Ping.
Wu Fang is also very powerful, with his headquarters, constantly "absorbing" the rebels.
When the entire Jianmen Pass was in chaos, Wu Fang, his own person, was still convinced by many soldiers of the Shu army.
Therefore, Wu Fang's recovery of the soldiers of the Shu army went relatively smoothly.
It's just that when Wu Fang took the tens of thousands of soldiers who had been "co-opted" to ask Guan Yu, who had just entered the customs, to surrender, many of these Shu soldiers who had just trusted Wu Fang were stunned. It was not until this moment that a few people knew that the gate of this sword gate was opened by their general Wu Fang!
However, the general trend has gone, the wood has been completed, and resistance is naturally impossible.
"Father, the Sword Gate Pass has been flattened!" Guan Ping rode his horse to Guan Yu and reported.
Guan Ping, who was covered in blood, looked a little embarrassed.
In fact, this is all other people's blood, and the embarrassment is only a fight just now, which is why he has the current embarrassment.
At this time, Zhou Cang and Wu Fang also came over.
"The last general, Wu Fang, meet General Guan!" When he saw Guan Yu, Wu Fang hurriedly dismounted to meet him.
Guan Yu is a fierce general who is also known today, not to mention that he is an unknown Wu Fang, even if his uncle Wu Yi is in front of him, he will not dare to take it in front of Guan Yu. What's more, now, as generals, they are in a weak position.
"General Wu has worked hard, this time he was able to win the Jianmen Pass without damage, and General Wu should be the first to take the lead. When the lord is driving, this general will ask the lord for merit for General Wu! Guan Yu praised and drew another cake for Wu Fang.
Regardless of Wu Fang's ability, he can let Guan Yu win the Sword Gate Pass without losing his soldiers, this is Wu Fang's credit. Praise Wu Fang for a sentence or two and don't want money, even if you ask the eldest brother for credit, it should be.
As for how the eldest brother will arrange this Wu Fang in the future, it depends on whether he Wu Fang has real talent and hard work.
You don't see, the Yang Bai brothers who surrendered from Zhang Lu's command at the beginning are only leading the army at this time.
……
Wu Fang didn't know Guan Yu's thoughts, but when he heard Guan Yu's praise and asked for credit, Wu Fang was happy in his heart, and his joy was overflowing, and he felt that he Wu Fang had finally done the most correct thing today!
"General Guan has won the award."
"As the old saying goes: A good bird chooses a tree to perch, and a virtuous minister chooses the lord to serve. Uncle Liu Huang is the current emperor's uncle, his name of benevolence and righteousness, no one in the world knows, although the last general is not a good bird and a virtuous minister, but he is also willing to attach the tail wing of the emperor's uncle, for Uncle Liu Huang's work of dogs and horses! ”
Wu Fang arched his hand and smiled.
At this time, Fa Zheng also came over.
Just now, Fa Zheng was the Sword Gate Pass that entered with Guan Yu. It's just that after entering the Jianmen Pass, Fa Zheng immediately took a group of soldiers and horses straight to the treasury of the Guannei Prefecture, and he was in a hurry to reorganize those surrendered troops on the spot.
Because Fa Zheng knows that Guan Yu's army is the vanguard, it needs to be expensive and fast, and if they take Jianmen Pass today, they will continue to march to Zitong tomorrow, and there will not be too much time left for them to reorganize and surrender troops and count materials at Jianmen Pass.
And these things are what Fa Zheng is best at!
"General Guan, the surrendered troops have been absorbed, and there are about 50,000 soldiers and horses."
"100,000 stones of grain and grass in the Guan, which is enough to support the consumption of the army for half a month."
Fa Zhengyu reported.
In this battle of taking the sword gate, because Wu Fang, one of the guards, quietly opened the city gate, and the Hanzhong army suddenly attacked in the early morning, the battle damage of both the enemy and us was not much. The Shu army stationed at Jianmen Pass was already in the early 50,000s, and now after removing some slight battle damage, there are still 50,000 left.
The 50,000 Shu army surrendered, plus Guan Yu's vanguard, this is the 70,000 army.
Whether the surrender can be used or not depends on the situation. If you fight a good fight, let alone use troops, even a group of rabble can be used. If you fight in adversity, the surrender of troops will naturally be useless.
Now, the Hanzhong army's counterattack on Hanzhong is naturally a tailwind.
Therefore, in Fazheng's plan, the 50,000 surrendered troops collected and surrendered are actually worthwhile.
After all, an army of 70,000 can be called 100,000. When the Hanzhong army counterattacked Sichuan and Shu, its vanguard army had 100,000 people, if this news spread, it was likely that there would be no need to fight, and it would scare those rats in Shu to open the city and surrender!
……
Integrating 50,000 troops into the vanguard army, Guan Yu also had similar thoughts.
It's just that at the same time that this idea came out, Guan Yu also had a little concern. Their vanguard army is all cavalry, and Guan Yu is naturally clear about the intention of the military division's arrangement: the soldiers are fast and fast, and they are naturally the best cavalry!
Most of the 50,000 Shu soldiers stationed at Jianmen Pass were infantry troops, and they were a patchwork rabble. With such a group of surrendered troops, it is inevitable to attack the city or something, not to mention it, to drag down the pace of the whole army!
"Today, the whole army rests for a day at Jianmen Pass, and early tomorrow morning, General Ben will lead 20,000 light cavalry to go first. Mr. and the two generals Wu Fang and Wu Lan led the 50,000 infantry army to follow! Guan Yu thought for a while, and then ordered.
In fact, at this time, Guan Yu should still have a confidant to guard the Sword Gate.
After all, Jianmen Pass is the gateway to Shuzhong, once Jianmen Pass changes hands again, and their vanguard army enters Shu again, it is very likely that they will be locked up in Shu and become a turtle in the urn, just like Wu Yi and their 200,000 Shu troops invaded the territory of Hanzhong.
However, Guan Yu didn't leave anyone to guard the Sword Gate!
……
In other words, in Shu now, even if you want to use the trick to close the door to fight dogs and catch turtles in urns, you still have soldiers and horses in Shudi, right?
First folded 200,000 elites in Hanzhong, and now folded 50,000 rabbles in Jianmen Pass, the entire Shu land, except for the 350,000 soldiers and horses guarding the Southern Barbarians, I am afraid that I will not be able to gather 10,000 troops again!
Besides, even if he, Guan Yu, the pioneer, was shut down and locked up in Shudi, what would it be?
For the Hanzhong Army, the loss is only 20,000 encounters, and it is far from the point of breaking the muscles and bones! Moreover, the lord and the military advisor personally led the army, and then they could enter Shu in half a month at most.
Therefore, in the current situation, if you want to beat him Guan Yu in Shudi, this will not work!
