Chapter Seventy-Six: Overnight Stay at Jiangyouguan

"So, the torrent rushing under the Phoenix Wing Mountain and the Eagle's Beak Rock is Fushui?" Liu Yongju drew inferences and asked.

Wu Yi replied: "Yes, this is the upper reaches of Fushui!" ”

Fushui, Deng Ai went down the river, and the water from the sky was descended.

Thinking of Deng Ai, Liu Yong's determination to choose a surprise attack on Tongguan was even firmer.

In fact, in the early stage of the Shu Han Dynasty, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang stationed heavy troops here, stifling the natural danger of the Fujiang River, so that the Wei army did not dare to rashly invade Sichuan. After Zhuge Liang's death, the defense of Jiangyouguan gradually relaxed, which gave Deng Aike an opportunity.

"Ai Ai" did the first year of junior high school, why can't I do fifteen.

If he Deng Ai can make dangerous moves and achieve the plan of destroying Shu, I will be able to make Wei Yan out of the Meridian Valley and attack Tongguan by surprise. Don't forget, Tongguan is a Xiongguan facing the east to defend against the Kwantung attack, how could the defenders of Tongguan expect that the Han army would suddenly appear behind them to seize the pass!

"Then Yi Ziyuan (Wu Yi) estimates, how far are we from Jiangyou Pass?"

"Less than a mile!" Wu Yi blurted out, his expression full of certainty.

"Good!" Liu Yong smiled and said, "Tonight, let's stay at Jiangyouguan overnight!" ”

It was night, the moon was in the sky, and the lonely starry sky was full of stars

On the wall of the north side of Jiangyou Pass, the torches are bright

Liu Yong stood at the head of the pass, by the flash of the stars, at a glance the Jiangyou Pass is dangerous, surrounded by mountains and mountains, and the pass is deeply embedded in the dangerous peaks and cliffs, straight into the sky. The river is turbulent, the turbidity waves are rolling, and the danger of choking the river is choke.

The generals stood solemnly behind Liu Yong, and Ma Bingzheng, the governor of Jiangyou Pass, shook his finger at the reckless landscape outside the pass, and carefully introduced the geography of Jiangyou Pass to Liu Yong.

"Jiangyouguan is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the terrain is dangerous. There are Fengyi Mountain and Eagle Beak Rock in the northwest to confront each other, and there are Confucius Rock and Jiangang Ridge in the southeast to stand side by side, the cliff is towering, and it is unclimbable. There is also the Fujiang River flowing between the cliffs and steep walls. Surrounded by four mountains in the depths of Jiangyou Pass, it is the throat of Shuzhong leading to Longdi, and has always been a place for soldiers to fight. ”

(Although the two counties of Yinping and Wudu belong to Yizhou, most of their county jurisdictions belong to Longdi, that is, in the current Gansu Province)

Under the cold moonlight, the grass and trees on the steep and continuous mountain ridges are forested, and the turbulent and tumbling rapids are mixed with the white light of the stars, and the Guan Qiang standing in the gap reflects the cold glow.

Liu Yong was immersed in the scene, and suddenly gave birth to a sense of humility of how small human beings are in heaven and earth.

Standing for a long time, he sighed leisurely: "A husband should be closed, and the ancients will not deceive me!" ”

After sighing, Liu Yong asked Ma Bingdao: "Who is Qing's father?" ”

Jiangyou Guan, Shubei Famous Pass, Guan Du Wei's rank is higher than a thousand stones, Ma Bing's ability to do Jiangyou Guan Du Wei must have some ability or background.

Ma Bing arched his hand and replied: "The father of the minister's family is good, and the words are often in season. ”

Hearing Ma Bingyan, Liu Yong suddenly turned around and said in shock: "Father Qing followed the ancestor of Lie to conquer Wu, and unfortunately died in state affairs, after Qing Zhonglie,!" ”

Ma Bing is actually the son of the white-eyed Ma Liang and the nephew of Ma Yan!

"My father can't help Emperor Zhaolie to pacify the Wu people, and the minister is ashamed!" Ma Bing covered his face with his sleeves, and his hunched waist bent deeper.

Liu Yong stepped forward and helped Ma Bing with both hands, and said sincerely: "All the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition are doing their best!" ”

lost Jingzhou, lost the hometown of the Jingzhou ministers and soldiers, from the monarchs and even the soldiers to the quick success. The battle of Wu is really a bad debt that I don't want to turn over.

Changing the topic, Liu Yong asked again: "As the commander of Jiangyou Pass, how many soldiers does Qing command?" ”

"The ministers are under the control of General Anxi, the Governor of Guangwu, and General Liaohua, the leader of the left army, and he commands 2,000 people from other parts of the Left Army, and is stationed at Jiangyouguan."

"So Jiangyou Pass belongs to the Liaohua Defense Zone?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. The Left Army was responsible for the war in the northwest of Yizhou, taking into account the defense of Wenshan, Yinping, and Wudu counties. ”

"Then how far is Guangwu County, where Liaohua is stationed, from me?"

"If you don't march in a hurry, Your Majesty only has half a month left to lead the army to Guangwu County, Yinping County!" Ma Bing obviously did not have a corpse vegetarian meal, and was quite familiar with the geographical environment of the area where he was stationed.

Liu Yong's march was to recover the two counties of Yinping and Wudu, but it did not mean that the tentacles of Shu Han's power were completely cut off outside Yinping and Wudu, in fact, Shu Han's western defense was established in the south of Yinping and Wudu. For example, the main force of Liaohua's left army was stationed in Guangwu County, Yinping County, and Yangping Pass in Hanzhong was also located in Wudu County.

"Well, Qing is very suitable!" Liu Yong stroked his palms and praised that as far as Jiangyou Guan's generals were concerned, Ma Bing's performance was very qualified.

Under the twilight of the pouring clouds, even if the stars were shining, the visibility was only three meters away, and Liu Yong's sharp gaze pierced the northeast.

It goes deep into Longdi and is the station of Liaohua, the governor of Guangwu.

In the romance, Lao Luo asked Liao Hua to appear as a yellow turban general, and admired the second master's high righteousness and loyalty on the way to pass five levels and kill six generals, and defected to his command.

In fact, Liao Hua, a native of Zhonglu County, Xiangyang County, Jingzhou, has been a member of the Liao family for generations.

Liu Yong can understand Lao Luo's portrayal of Liao Hua as more than loyal and not brave enough. Liao Hua is naturally not as good as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xiahoudun, Zhang Liao, these first-class generals, but the posture of the Chinese is not exaggerated.

Liu Yong has always held the view that all kinds of people of all kinds are useful, and that qualified superiors should be hired according to each other, so as to give full play to the maximum effect of talents.

Liao Hua is a diehard party of Liu Han comparable to Zhao Yun.

In his early years, Liao Hua became the head of Guan Yu's shogunate, and after Guan Yu's demise, Liao Hua became a prisoner of the Wu army.

But Liao Yuanjian was in Wu Ying's heart in Han, so he made a trick to death, and after deceiving the Wu people, Liao Hua took his mother to the west day and night and went to Shu Han.

When the cheap father saw him, he was full of joy, and he had no doubt that he worshiped him as the Taishou of Yidu County, and later served as the governor of other departments, and followed the army to attack Wu.

These two things can show Liao Hua's loyalty and are worthy of trust!

It is precisely because of Liao Hua's loyalty and reliability that after his short-lived brother ascended the throne, he served as the governor of Liao Hua and Guangwu, and he was relieved to hand over the left army to him as commander, responsible for the defense of central and northwest Shu. Anyway, the Wei army in Longxi couldn't shrink, and only Qiang Xiyi in the northwest of Yizhou got up from time to time to make a fuss, and the defensive pressure was not great.

There is no need for Liao Hua to have the ability to cry ghosts and gods, but he needs to be absolutely loyal to the commander of the left army!

So it turned out that in history, from the early years of Jianxing, Liao Hua first served as the prime minister's mansion to join the army, and then released the governor of Guangwu and led Yinping County to guard. He has been guarding the northwest gate of Yizhou and being a strong backing for Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition until the death of Marquis Wu.

When Wei Yan, Ma Dai, Wu Yi, Gao Xiang, and Wang Ping made great achievements in Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition one after another, and were named county marquis and township marquis, and people were praising their brilliant military exploits, Liao Hua, who had long been the commander of the military region, still had no reputation and no achievements.

He was willing to be lonely and silently dedicated, until the eve of the destruction of Shu Han.

Liu Yong is a traverser, a prophet, knowing that Liao Hua is not a first-class general, and he only likes the posture of a person, but he still can't help but feel close to him in his heart, and it is better to be loyal............
