197. Dispatch troops to Guanzhong
"I went to break with two armies, all the way to the 'positive' army and all the way to the 'strange' army. The women's battalion www.biquge.info was aggressive, and Lu Qiling attacked the wall between the southeast view gate and the wounded gate for the main army; The defense of the trapped camp was excellent, and General Gao Shun entered from the south-west Gate and turned into the Western Gate of Death. The enemy line collapsed without a fight. β
"As the name suggests, if you enter the door of death, how can you live?" Gao Shun wondered.
"It's called breaking and then standing. In this way, the enemy army in the southwest formation was restrained by General Gao's strange soldiers, and could not retreat to the south of the large array, and Cao Ren, who presided over the large formation in the center of the formation, could not retreat to the northwest corner of the large array, resulting in the entire large array could not operate normally to encircle the enemy, and the southeast large array attacked by Lu Qiling could not retreat to the formation to introduce Lu Qiling's army attacking the large array into the formation, and at the same time, the large array was vacant due south, and this array was in chaos. β
Gao Shun and Lu Qiling ordered the troops out of the city.
Xu Shu defended the city by himself, ordered Lu Xun to take a thousand soldiers out of the city, and saw Xu Shu's orders.
Lu Qiling led troops to attack the southeast wall, and at the right time, Gao Shun led his troops to enter from the gate of Hugh and went to the gate of death.
Cao Ren laughed when he saw it: "Look at my battle to kill the enemy general." β
Cao Ren commanded the three large formations of Dumen, Death, and Humen to encircle Gao Shun and block Gao Shun's camp in the passage of Death. Gao Shun only felt that all sides were full of shouting and pressing enemies, and he was surrounded in the big array, and he couldn't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest.
At this time, the small formation in the southeast corner attacked by Lu Qiling wanted to lead Lu Qiling's army to the formation to annihilate, but the small array was occupied by Cao Ren's small formation in the formation, and it was impossible to retreat for a while, and the wall of the formation was quickly broken by Lu Qiling.
Cao Ren instantly discovered the problem, and hurriedly commanded the southwest small formation to fill the transfer to the south, Nazhi was rigidly restrained by Gao Shun's trapped camp and could not retreat, the small formation in the northwest and due west positions could not retreat, and the Cao Ren small formation in the middle of the large array was trapped in the formation by his own soldiers, and he could not advance or retreat.
Lu Qiling advanced with a halberd, and the soldiers of the southeast small formation counterattacked the Cao Ren small formation in the center of the large array, and the surrounding areas did not collapse, and the formation collapsed first. In order to avoid trampling on each other, Cao Ren gritted his teeth and led a small array of soldiers to squeeze to the northwest gate to make room for the small southeast formation that led the army into the urn.
The northern line of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array was densely packed with four small formations, the northwest Death Gate was crowded with three small formations, there was no small formation on the south wall, and only the small formation due east did not move a bit.
"Kill!" Cao Ren just squeezed to the north of the formation, and Lu Xun in the north waved his army to kill, and the Cao Ren soldiers who were crowded together were instantly in chaos, desperately trying to restore the position of the eight gates, and the more they crowded, the more chaotic they became.
Cao Ren was defeated and retreated, Gao Shun waved his army to chase and kill, Cao's soldiers were scattered, Xu Shu was worried that Li Dian would answer Cao Ren, and was busy Mingjin to collect the troops and collect the rout.
Cao Ren was defeated again, and did not dare to cure Li Dian's crime, so the two discussed a strategy to break the enemy.
Li Dian said: "Gao Shun is good at fighting, Xu Shu is good at strategizing, we are entrusted with the prime minister's responsibility, we must not act rashly, if Xu Shu sends strange soldiers to attack Xiangcheng, we will die and will not be able to escape the blame, it is better to return to Xiangcheng." β
After the two discussed, they were worried that Wancheng would chase the soldiers, so they left the empty camp and led the troops back to Xiangcheng. The Wancheng grain road was opened again.
September 23 of the fourth year of Jian'an.
"I heard that the princes of Guanzhong were in turmoil, and they fought for the king, and they were the generals of the Son of Heaven, and they couldn't bear to attack each other.
Lu Bu ordered troops at the south entrance of Wuguan Road in the inner countryside and said in a high-sounding voice.
"The rice thief Zhang Lu has been entrenched in Hanzhong for more than ten years, and it is not a day to get rid of it. There are priorities, the princes of Jincheng gather to fight, and after a long time, there will be changes, who wants to be the pioneer? β
"The last general is willing to be the vanguard." Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Zhang Xiu, Ji Ling, Sun Guan and others will ask for battle.
Lu Bu analyzed the character of the generals under his command and decided to send Wei Yan on the expedition, Wei Yan's character dared to take risks, and the other generals were very cautious people.
"Wei Yan listened to the order, send you 10,000 horses, go around the south wall of Chang'an, and raid Huxian in the west of Chang'an, be sure to block the Meiwu Wu Xi Division, and maybe the Xiliang army commanded by Zhong Xuan counterattacked, if there is a mistake, come and see you."
Wu Xiben was Guo Yan's general, who was ordered by Guo Yan to burn the school house to coerce Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and then rebelled against Guo Yan in Yi County, and led the army to attack and kill Guo Yan, and obtained thousands of Guo Yan's men and horses, and then sent an envoy to Xuchang to serve Cao Cao. Cao Cao played Wu Xi as a captive general, and stationed troops in Yiwu to guard Chang'an.
Hewu is not a small county town, it is a fortress built by Dong Zhuo when he used hundreds of thousands of conscripts to build the fortress, Dong Zhuo originally thought that "if you succeed, you will live in the world, and if you don't succeed, you will be enough to prepare for old age" can show that the solidity of Yiwu can be explained, although it was destroyed by him Lu Bu, it is still difficult to conquer from the outside. Moreover, there is a gallop road built by Dong Zhuo, which is more than 260 miles long, and the cavalry can reach Chang'an from Hewu in half a day.
During this period during his attack on Chang'an, Wei Yan must block the enemy army coming from the west to prevent the enemy from attacking the Qingni Pass and cutting off the supply of LΓΌ Bu's army's food route, otherwise LΓΌ Bu can only roll out of the Guanzhong in a gray manner.
"The last general is willing to make a military order!" Wei Yan said confidently.
"Okay, just follow your word."
Waiting for Wei Yan to make a military order, Lu Bu said: "Hurry up and order the military horses, the Wuguan Road is too narrow, don't delay the speed of the march." β
"Where is Huang Zhong?"
"The last general!"
"You order 3,000 soldiers to attack Lantian County, be sure to capture Lantian County before our army arrives at Qingni Pass, Lantian County is the gateway to Chang'an to the south, the geographical location is very important, the county commander Wang Ling and his people are cunning and cunning, and the old general has to bother a lot."
"Why should the auxiliary general raise the morale of others and destroy his own prestige, the old man will definitely be able to capture him. If one person is lost, it is not a credit. β
"The old general's arrogance is undiminished, and he will be able to succeed immediately."
The rest of the generals stood by before their tents. Cao Ren's attack on Wancheng was defeated, and it was difficult to do anything in a short time, so he sent people to recruit Xu Shu, Lu Qiling, Lu Xun and others, who would have had another important task to entrust. β
The Wuguan Road was too narrow, and it would take at least three days for Wei Yan and Huang Zhong's men and horses to enter completely, and Lu Bu's rear army could only wait for the front army to go first.
Zhang Liao quickly sent troops to attack Tongguan, and before Duan Xuan could react, he captured the Xiongguan Pass in the world with lightning speed, Huayin and Weinan were shaken, and the news spread to Feng Yi, Gaoling and other places, and everyone in Guanzhong was in danger and was afraid of Lu Bu's murderous name.
On the one hand, he actively prepared for war and prepared to take measures with the strength of a county to take measures against Lu Bu's army at the Qingni Pass, and on the other hand, he urgently sent people to Jincheng to find Han Sui and Ma Tengcheng who were fighting to talk about the pros and cons, hoping that Zhong Xuan could wave the coalition army as soon as possible to help.
Finally approaching the goal step by step, Lu Bu was uneasy, and the success or failure of Guanzhong's trip was unpredictable. If he fails, where does he go from here?
