Chapter 559: Kettle Off!

"Where is Yan Liang!" Su Zhe shouted.

"The end will be."

Su Zhe pointed to Wen County: "This duke ordered you to take a team of people and horses to Wen County as soon as possible, arrest Sima Yi and his family, and not let any of them go to this duke." ”

Yan Liang received the order, although he didn't understand the intention of Su Zhe's order, he didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately led the army forward.

"Did Duke Chu arrest the Sima family with the intention of recruiting them?" Wen Chou asked tentatively.

"Recruit them? Lao Tzu's brain is broken, so he wants to conquer Sima Yi and dig his own grave......"

Su Zhe sneered in his heart, and said lightly: "You are wrong, I don't want to use them, I want to destroy them." ”

Wen Chou's expression was awe-inspiring, his eyes were surprised and frightened, as if he didn't expect Su Zhe to make such a move.

"Ziqin has something to say." Su Zhe's eyes were sharp, and he could naturally see that he had something on his mind.

"Ahem, with all due respect, the Sima clan has been living in seclusion since the chaos of the world, Yuan Shao has conquered several times, and no one from the Sima clan has come out, so the family that has never had a conflict with the Duke of Chu, but the Duke of Chu wants to destroy them, and the general is a little bit unclear."

Wen Chou is also a straight person, and frankly expressed his opinion.

"You don't understand, Sima Yi is not a fuel-efficient lamp, you are only blinded by his forbearance, he can fool others, but he can't fool me Su Zhe."

Su Zhe's tone was playful, and the corners of his mouth raised a touch of sarcasm.

Of course, he would not tell Wen Chou that he was familiar with history, knew how insidious and deep Sima Yi was, and how disgusting the Sima clan was.

Sima Yi in history, trusted by Emperor Wei Ming, did not hesitate to betray the Cao family, launched the Gaopingling Rebellion, and jumped from a loyal minister to a powerful minister who monopolized the courtiers.

Then, the two good sons Sima Shi and Sima Zhao left behind, one abolished Cao Fang and set up a new emperor, and the other simply killed the emperor directly, what he did was unprecedented.

And Sima Yan, the Jin Wu Emperor after them, although he had the merit of leveling Wu, he also sealed the clan and planted the seeds of the rebellion of the Eight Kings.

After that, the kings of the Sima family fought to the death, and did not hesitate to lead Hu people like the Xiongnu and Xianbei into the Central Plains to fight for them.

As a result, they lifted a stone to shoot themselves in the foot, and they were defeated one after another, but they gave Zhuhu the opportunity to rise, and finally caused the tragedy of Wuhu Chaohua, and the entire Beihua entered the darkest period in history.

Su Zhe knew the ins and outs of this period of history, how could he let Sima Yi go.

Such a hidden danger is naturally strangled in the cradle, no matter how harmless you are now pretending to be human-animal harmless, I will slaughter you first.

Su Zhe then told the army to stop for the time being, and waited for Yan Liang's bloody return.

More than an hour later, Yan Liang went and returned, but he did not bring back the rolling head that Su Zhe expected.

"Duke Chu, when the last general went to Wen County, I learned that Sima Yi had left with his clan a few days ago, and it was said that he went north to Shangdang County."

This cunning old fox, he slipped away quite quickly.

Su Zhe was scolding his mother in his heart.

After thinking about it, Sima Yi's best skill is to judge the situation and assess the situation, and his self-protection ability is stronger than Jia Xu's old poisonous scorpion.

With Sima Yi's resourcefulness, it should be able to see Su Zhe's suppression of the clan, and in order to protect himself, it is reasonable to choose to flee the clan.

However, seeing that he fled to Shangdang with his family, in this situation, could it be that he wanted to defect to Dong Zhuo?

At that time, Dong Zhuo abolished the young emperor, killed the minister, burned Luoyang, and was besieged by the Kwantung coalition army represented by Yuan Shao and other family representatives, but he was the public enemy of the family.

Sima Yi, as a member of the clan, is now willing to defect to Dong Zhuo, the former public enemy of the clan, in order to avoid him Su Zhe, which is really ironic.

"Sure enough, there are no eternal enemies in the world, only eternal interests, Dong Zhuo, you have been looking forward to it for so many years, and finally expect that a family member will take the initiative to wear a pair of pants with you, you should be very relieved......"

Su Zhe's eyes were filled with sarcasm.

"Duke Chu, then Sima Yi fled to the party, it should be to defect to Dong Zhuo, so what should we do now?" Yan Liang asked.

"If you can escape, the monk can't escape the temple, and after the duke destroys Dong Zhuo, he will destroy his Sima clan together."

Su Zhe snorted disdainfully, and raised his whip to point to the north: "Order the army, change the route to the north, and go straight to Huguan!" ”

Under the order, the 170,000-foot cavalry army immediately diverted to the north, crossed the Taihang Mountain from Tianjing Pass, entered Shangdang County, and advanced to the important town of Huguan.

Shangdang County, south of the Taihang Mountain and Wangwu Mountain, lies east and west, forming a natural boundary with Hanoi County.

In the west direction of the county, there is another Zhongtiao Mountain lying in the north and south, forming a boundary with Hedong County.

The north and east of it are blocked by the main vein of Taihang Mountain, and the Taiyuan County Basin, where Jinyang is located, and Jizhou also form a natural barrier.

Such a terrain surrounded by mountains has made Shangdang County form a condescending, but also superficial terrain of mountains and rivers, which has been easy to defend and difficult to attack since ancient times, and is a battleground for soldiers.

However, just like Shudi, the Qinling Mountains are more precipitous than the Taihang Mountains, but in the lofty mountains, there are still many valley roads, which can barely penetrate the inside and outside.

The same is true in Shangdang County, where one of the smoothest roads is the Taihang Road from north to south.

This trail starts from Hanoi County, then passes through Tianjing Pass in the north and enters Taihang Mountain, then passes through Gaodu City, Hyun Castle, and finally arrives at Huguan.

It is said to be a road, but in fact, it is only relatively speaking, this Taihang Road is narrow, less than five steps wide, winding and circling, rugged, and several times more difficult to walk than the avenue on the plain.

However, Su Zhe and his soldiers have even walked the ancient road of Lu Longsai, where thousands of mountains and birds fly away and thousands of paths and people disappear, and it is nothing to walk through the Taixing Trail again.

The 170,000 army entered the Taihang Mountain, opened the road in the mountains, built bridges in the water, and drove straight all the way.

Dong Zhuo, feeling the number of soldiers and horses, and the disadvantage of not being good at city defense warfare, withdrew most of his troops to Huguan and made every effort to defend the most critical city in Shangdang County.

Therefore, the Soviet army went north, without a single soldier, it easily took Gaodu and other cities along the way, and at the beginning of the spring, the soldiers reached Huguan City.

In view of the fact that the early spring is approaching, in order not to affect the spring ploughing and not to fall into the spring cement mud, Su Zhe's army first launched a large-scale attack as soon as he approached Huguan.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Soviet soldiers after a full meal launched a fierce attack on Huguan City.

On the front line of the towering Guancheng, hundreds of cloud ladders were densely packed, and countless Soviet troops rushed to climb the cloud ladders, and the sound of killing rose like thunder, resounding through the Taihang Valley.

The Soviet soldiers were storming the city, and Su Zhe immediately closed the city, presiding over the overall situation while observing the situation at this pot.

I saw that there is Baigu Mountain in the north of this pot Guancheng, and there is Shuangyou Mountain in the south, the two mountains are towering into the clouds, and a pot-shaped gap is formed in the middle, and the Guancheng is built on such a terrain, no wonder it is named Huguan.

And Su Zhe is attacking the section of the city wall east of Huguan, which is less than one hundred and fifty steps long, and the terrain is too narrow, although his army is numerous, it cannot be deployed, and he cannot give full play to the advantage of troops.

The siege was in a stalemate.
