Pujia Pass is close to Hanzhong, and it is the first pass from Hanzhong to Sichuan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoWhen Liu Bei was invited by Liu Zhang to enter Xichuan to resist Zhang Lu, he was at Pujia Pass. Liu Bei stayed in Pujiaguan for more than a year, during which time he was widely gracious, the people had a lot to rely on, and the soldiers and military rations were greatly improved.
Zhang Lu was also helpless about this, after all, Liu Bei had many generals and strategists. However, when Liu Bei and Liu Zhang fell out, they sent the main force to attack Liu Zhang's city, and there were only about 10,000 soldiers left in Pujia Pass, and the generals were only Huo Jun and Meng Da, who were rarely famous, so it was impossible for Zhang Lu to have no idea about Pujia Pass. In addition, at that time, Ma Chao came to Zhang Lu because of Cao Cao's defeat in battle, Ma Chao is a general, so Zhang Lu also has generals who can fight well, and it is natural to attack Pujia Pass and take the throat of Hanzhong.
Inside the Pujia Pass.
Pujia Pass has been besieged by the enemy for nearly 20 days, there are 7,000 Xiliang cavalry of Ma Chao in front, and 10,000 Xichuan soldiers of Fuban and Xiangcun in the back, but when Liu Bei left Pujia Pass, he left a large amount of military rations and defensive equipment in the pass, so the pressure of defense is not very great now. Another point is that Ma Chao led the Xiliang cavalry, which is very strong in field battles, but if you want to talk about siege, it will be hehe; As for the troops of Fuban and Xiangcun, although they are Xichuan soldiers and have some siege experience, these 10,000 soldiers are temporarily put together, and the siege equipment is insufficient, and the siege ability is barely good! It might be okay to let them attack ordinary checkpoints or cities, but it would be too difficult to attack Pujia Pass, which has a wide range of soldiers.
"General Huo Jun, the enemy has not come to attack the city in the past few days, and my hand is a little itchy. Haha," said General Munda .
"That's what General Meng Da said! Presumably, after the attack some time ago, the enemy knew that there would be no benefit from continuing to attack, so he would rest for a few days! Ha ha. Even these enemies also want to attack my Pujia Pass, which has a lot of soldiers and food, which is really wishful thinking. General Huo Jun said.
The two generals were in the council hall in Pujia Pass, discussing the military situation in the past few days, when a guard came to report that the soldiers at the head of the city had found that the army of Fu Jian and Xiang Cun seemed to have decreased a lot.
The two generals, Huo Jun and Meng Da, felt very strange when they heard the news, it is said that even if the enemy did not attack the city smoothly some time ago, it would not retreat! What's going on here?
Pujiaguan city wall.
After Huo Jun and Meng Da heard the news, they came to the city wall to observe together.
"Who noticed that the number of enemies was decreasing?" General Huo Jun asked.
This is a soldier walking from the side, judging by his outfit should be a Qu Chang, walked up to General Huo Jun and said, "It was the villain who found that the number of enemies had decreased. ”
"Oh. Tell me, how did you notice the decrease in the number of enemies? ”
"General Qiyu, the villain has been patrolling the city walls today. When patrolling in the morning, I saw the smoke rising from the cooking in the enemy barracks a few days ago, but when patrolling at noon today, the villain found that the smoke rising in the enemy barracks at noon was much less than in the morning, and the villain felt very strange at that time, and in the afternoon, the villain paid special attention to the amount of smoke raised, and found that it was indeed much less than before, at least more than half. So the villain hurriedly sent someone to inform the two generals. ”
After listening to this, the two generals, Huo Jun and Meng Da, felt that what this person said was very reasonable, but this alone was not enough. At that moment, General Huo Jun sent people to sneak into the enemy camp after dark to find out the news.
"What's your name?" General Huo Jun asked.
"General Qiyu, the villain's name is Wang Dazhuang, because he has some strength, so my parents gave me this name."
"Yes. Good. You can be a lieutenant by my side in the future! ”
After General Huo Jun said this, he and General Meng Da left, leaving Wang Dazhuang standing there, stunned, as if he didn't understand what it meant. At this time, someone from the soldier next to him came over, hammered him on the shoulder, and said, "You boy, you are developed." At this time, Wang Dazhuang woke up like a dream, raised his head, and smiled at this person.
"Wang Dazhuang, you must drink tonight, your kid has been promoted to a big official, I must slaughter you tonight." One of the soldiers said.
"Haha. Good. I'm in for a treat tonight, so let's not get drunk and go home. Wang Dazhuang said.
A certain mountain range in Xichuan.
Nishikawa is mountainous and the roads are narrow, making it a great place for ambushes.
"General Fuban, it's been a few hours since we came here, and your news is reliable or not. You know, we're taking a big risk by doing that. If the enemy knows that the number of soldiers in our barracks is very small, then our barracks will be in danger. General Xiang Cun, who was squatting on the ground, said.
"Don't worry, General Xiang Cun. My news is absolutely foolproof. You must know that the leader of this team is Liu Bei's military division, if we can defeat them, first of all, there will be no reinforcements from Pujia Pass, and then this is also a big blow to the morale of Liu Bei's army, so that our army can counterattack Liu Bei, and it will be just around the corner to recapture the former city. The general who was lying next to him said.
"But I still think it's too risky." General Xiang Cun said.
"Don't worry, General Xiang Cun. It's going to be fine. Besides, you also know that Pujia Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is almost impossible to attack Pujia Pass with our army alone. But if we can defeat Liu Bei's reinforcements, it will also be a great credit. General Fu Ban said.
At this time, a soldier came running from a distance, came to the two generals, and said, "Qi two generals, I found a force in front of me, numbering about 4,000 to 5,000 people. ”
Hearing this news, General Fuban smiled, it seems that the news is right! When General Xiang Cun heard the news, the look of doubt on his face also disappeared.
After a quarter of an hour, a troop came from the front and slowly walked into the sight of the two generals, Fu Zhi and Xiang Cun. When this army was halfway through, the general stood up and shouted, "Shoot the arrows!" ”
