From Puban Ferry to Tongguan, it is only a distance of dozens of miles, and it will not take a day for the foot soldiers to march in a hurry. Vertices are updated the fastest

Ge Liang and his entourage are now traveling lightly, and they arrived at Tongguan that night.

Deng Zhi was already asleep, he felt bored, he was deceived by Wei Yan, saying that it was much more meaningful to ask him to come to Tongguan and threaten Luoyang together than to ambush Sima Yi in Huaili, but as soon as he arrived at Tongguan, Wei Yan not only took away his own men and horses and Ma Chao's cavalry, but also took away 2,000 of the 5,000 men and horses that originally belonged to his command.

Wei Yan said very well, holding the Tong Pass can lock Cao Zhen and them in the pass, so that they can't go back, and can prevent the enemy from coming to the rescue from Luoyang. The stakes are high here. Such an important task is entrusted to you Deng Zhi, you must guard this place.

said so important, but only left him 3,000 men and horses, saying that as long as he couldn't hold on, 3,000 men and horses were enough to guard a small Tong Pass, you know, Huo Jun's 500 people guarded Jiameng Pass, all of them guarded for a year, and finally beat 10,000 enemies away, and also beheaded the enemy's main general, you Deng Zhi is so powerful, the attack surface of Tongguan is small, 3,000 people and horses, it is no problem to defend it for ten years or eight years.

"Then will you stay here for ten or eight years?" Deng Zhi asked Wei Yan rhetorically.

"How can you disobey the arrangement, is it you or me?" As soon as Wei Yan saw that people didn't listen to him, he was about to turn his face and use his official position to oppress people.

"I'm not a Hanzhong official. I'm not in your hands! Deng Zhi was unceremonious and immediately stepped up.

In Huaili, you said that you would go to Luoyang together, but as soon as you deceived you, you immediately turned your face.

Wei Yan still had to press him: "I only ask you, is it you or me?" ”

Deng Zhi didn't eat this, and his voice was very high: "I'm under the control of Da Sima, not you." Is it you an official, or a big Sima official? ”

"That's what Da Sima said, this time out, all the people and horses in Hanzhong will be deployed by me! If you don't believe him, you go and ask him? Wei Yan also took Ge Liang out to oppress people.

Deng Zhi rolled his eyes in anger, but he couldn't, so he had to take a step back: "Although they are all deployed by you, my people and horses are familiar with me, you can't break them up." ”

"Look at your stinginess." Wei Yan moved out another big official, "The hussar generals all believe in me, and they give me 2,000 cavalry for nothing, and they don't frown." I just borrowed 2,000 infantry from you, and you felt like you had your heart cut off, and I didn't want to give it back to you. ”

Deng Zhi and Ma Chao occupied Huaili City, and they happened to be reminded at this moment, so they immediately shouted again: "I was in Huaili, and I obviously heard the hussar general say that the two thousand cavalry were just the Wudang Feijun who escorted the prisoners and picked you up. As soon as the Wudang Flying Army arrived at Tongguan, those cavalry should immediately return to him! ”

Wei Yan's eyes widened, and he hurriedly reached out to cover his big mouth, how could he forget that they had met? Then he hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover Deng Zhi's mouth: "You be quiet!" I'm afraid those people don't know. If you call it like that again, do you want to go to Luoyang? It's all infantry, what if you need to get ahead of the curve along the way? It's not that you don't know, that Ma Chao is because there are so many horses, so Da Sima let him take the lead in Guanzhong. We are all from Chencang Road, and we can't lose to them! ”

Deng Zhi hurriedly avoided Wei Yan's claws, what is this? In a blink of an eye, he said that he and I came all the way, and Ma Chao became someone else again.

That's right, I brought his 4,000 foot soldiers with him. He wanted to take the lead and throw half of his foot soldiers to me, but now that he wants to fight a tough battle with more soldiers, he immediately pulls back and pulls my men away.

I'm here to help him escort his sergeants!

Wei Yan still felt aggrieved: "Don't you know? Hundreds of his horses were stolen by me and given to him for free. Now I'm going back to my own horse and use it, and you're going to blame me. ”

Deng Zhi had heard about this, and he didn't argue with him anymore, anyway, those cavalry were not mine.

"You said that we are all the way, so let's go to Luoyang together. If you go like this, you will already have more than 10,000 cavalry, and you will always have to divide your troops. Deng Zhi's tone softened.

Wei Yan gave him a face full of pain: "I'm just worried about this." In terms of ability, I want you to help, and it will definitely be easy to go straight to Luoyang. But now this Tongguan is also very important. Now there are tens of thousands of troops in Guanzhong and Cao Zhen and Sima Yi that have not been wiped out. If you change to an ordinary person to guard Tongguan, in case he loses Tongguan, Cao Zhen and they will pursue from behind, and Cao Pi in front will send a large army to block it, then wouldn't the two of us be caught in the front and back, and we won't come back? ”

"That's right!" Deng Zhi nodded again and again, "This is too dangerous to go deep into the enemy territory." As a general of Zhenbei, you have a high position, and if there is an accident, it will be terrible. Although you may be brave and risky to spare your life, if we lose such a large general, it will have a great impact on the morale of the army. In my opinion, it is better for a petty officer like me to go, even if he dies, there will be no loss to the general situation of our army. ”

"No, no, no." Wei Yan shook his head repeatedly, "How can I keep the comfort to myself and throw the danger to others?" I'll go for it. You just guard Tongguan and wait to encircle and suppress Cao Zhen and them with Da Sima. ”

Anyway, from any point of view, it has to be him Wei Yan, and Deng Zhi has to guard Tongguan.

Deng Zhi could only accept it, looking at the impassioned look that people said.

"Okay, okay, you go, you go." Deng Zhi shook his head helplessly, too lazy to argue with this kind of person, and wasted his saliva.

Wei Yan said that Tongguan is important, and it does make sense, if Cao Zhen rushes back in time, he will definitely come to snatch Tongguan.

With 3,000 men and horses, keep it for ten years and eight years?

"That's right!" Wei Yan happily patted Deng Zhi on the shoulder, "Everyone cooperate well, just like killing them in Wudu, and make new contributions!" ”

Deng Zhi had a straight face: "Be careful along the way, Luoyang is not as well guarded as Guanzhong." This way passed, and the road in front of Hangu Pass was narrow and difficult to walk. One husband is a pass, and ten thousand people are not open. You don't want to force your way out and attack at any cost. I think that although Guanzhong will definitely be occupied by us, it is not time to take Luoyang. ”

Isn't it time to try it to know! Wei Yan couldn't wait, so he rushed out immediately, and wanted to gather the generals to set off immediately.

Deng Zhi looked at Wei Yan's back, pursed his lips, and reached out to dust his shoulder, as if Wei Yan had slapped his clothes dirty.

There are only 3,000 people, and Deng Zhi is stationed in Tongguan with peace of mind. With such a few people, there is really no way to act rashly, you must know that Sima Yi and Cao Zhen are tens of thousands of horses in Guanzhong.

When will they come to Tongguan to attack the key battles?
