Chapter 18: Sneak Attack on Yang'an Pass (2)

The team had just left the pass, but saw Zhuge Shang rushing towards him with a rotten silver spear in his hand, and shouted: "Why did the general leave the last general? ”

"This ......" Guan Yi saw Zhuge Shang's stupid face, he had already guessed his thoughts, and he laughed secretly in his heart, but he hesitated and said: "This time the troops are different from the usual, and the slightest carelessness will be a catastrophe." The little general's golden body, how can he be in danger lightly? Guan Mou was entrusted by General Wei, and he didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest, so he still asked the little general to wait in the pass, and Guan Mou would go back when he went! ”

Guan Yi said slowly, but the afterglow in his eyes was always paying attention to Zhuge Shang's face, and seeing that after he heard his words, his expression changed continuously, and his heart was even more amused. This is exactly the result that Guan Yi wants, he has long seen that Zhuge Shang is not satisfied with him, but it is only because of Zhuge Zhan's reasons, so he has to follow him by his side.

This time he sent troops to attack the grain and grass of the Wei army in Yang'an, Guan Yi deliberately did not bring Zhuge Shang, but deliberately let him know his movements, the purpose of which was to deliberately make Zhuge Shang feel that he despised him, so as to stimulate his arrogance.

Sure enough, Zhuge Shang said with a calm face: "Why does the general despise the last general so much? The last general has been strictly ordered by his father to follow the general, and he has already put life and death out of his body, even if he goes up to the sword mountain and goes down to the sea of fire, he will never frown, and he is not afraid of hardships and dangers? Please allow the general to go with the army! ”

"This trip is indeed full of dangers, and the little general must not insist on ......"

"If the general is not allowed, the last general will kneel and die here!" After Zhuge Shang finished speaking, he lifted his knee pad armor and fell to the ground heavily, seemingly not stopping until he reached his goal.

Guan Yi smiled secretly in his heart, seeing that Zhuge was still temperamental, he was also happy to accept it when he saw it, stretched out his hand to help his arm, and sighed: "The little general is loyal and courageous, which is admirable!" Since the general insisted on going, how could Guan Yi dare not obey? I have ordered the Huhu to lead a hundred blood guards and guide the officer to open the way first, so I also asked the general to lead a hundred men and horses to respond, and do everything according to the order, how about it? ”

"The last general obeys!" Zhuge Shang was overjoyed when he saw that Guan Yi promised to go with the army, and he didn't care whether Guan Yi put himself as a forward or a rear, as long as Guan Yi didn't regret it.

Guan Yi settled Zhuge Shang and immediately ordered the whole army to set off.

Let's say that Ehu led a hundred blood guards to open the road first, and Yu Lu was extremely careful. Although he is honest, he has been following Guan Yi for a long time, and he has been well versed in the essentials of the former army's spying and exploration, so Guan Yi makes him the most suitable for the former army.

After the team left the Sword Pavilion Pass, they immediately changed to the west trail and entered the lofty mountains. According to the guide, this trail leads directly to the Luban Gorge of the Bailongjiang River from the Jiange Pass, but due to the steepness and abnormality along the way, it has always been inaccessible, and the local villagers around the Jiange Pass are only known by a few hunters.

Because it was a mountain march, the five hundred blood guards all abandoned their iron-armored horses when they left the Sword Pavilion, along with their usual side-worn blades, and only wore protective cowhide soft armor, carrying horse swords and Zhuge crossbows on foot. Although Guan Yi and others were mentally prepared to cross the mountains and mountains, they really realized when the team entered the mountains, saying that it was a mountain road, but in fact it was just a mountain path that Orion had stepped on over the years.

Although the mountain road is difficult and difficult to walk, the five hundred blood guards trained by Guan Yi are all the elite of the elite, and their physical endurance is far from being comparable to that of ordinary sergeants, so no one complained about it along the way, and no one was left behind, which made Guan Yi quite gratified.

After seeing the five watches, the east gradually revealed a glimmer of dawn, and in the mist, it didn't take long to see a round of red sun slowly climbing up the horizon, shrouding the heavens and the earth in ten thousand golden rays. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking into the distance, but seeing the ancient trees towering in the mountains, the red leaves are everywhere, the natural scenery is pure and beautiful, and it is peaceful and quiet, but where is the urgency of war and the atmosphere of slaughter?

After being so hungry and thirsty, he finally arrived at the dangerous Luban Gorge on the Bailongjiang River five days later. Luban Gorge is the most important place of Ma Ming Pavilion plank road, the water of Bailongjiang River flows through here, but see the waves crashing on the shore, the sound is like a horse hissing, the momentum is magnificent, the peaks on both sides of the canyon are stacked, the wall is like a knife cut, the mountain is extended, the highest place can reach several zhang, the name of Ma Ming Pavilion is derived from this, it is really the dangerous pass of "one husband is a pass, ten thousand people are not open".

Guan Yi had already learned when he was in the Sword Pavilion that after the Wei army captured Ma Ming Pavilion, Zhong Hui stationed 3,000 soldiers and horses here to prevent the Han army from sneaking up and cutting off his own back road, so the Ma Ming Pavilion plank road was obviously impassable.

Because this attack on Yang'an Pass is related to the overall success or failure, Guan Yi did not dare to delay, and ordered the blood guard to cross the Bailong River overnight at a place where the water flow is gentle fifty miles upstream of Luban Gorge, and enter the dense forest in the mountains on the opposite bank overnight.

Yang'an Pass, also known as Guantou, stands on the bank of Langshui, south of Jigong Mountain, north of Yinping Mountain, guards the throat of Hanzhong leading to Shu, the momentum is majestic, it is the key point of the communication between Shu and Hanzhong. After Guan Yi explored the terrain, he immediately camped the camp halfway up Yinping Mountain, and ordered the brigade to seize the time to rest and recuperate, and prepare for battle. Fortunately, this group of blood guards are all hundreds of generals, and they marched hard in the barren mountains and mountains along the way, and although their physical strength was exhausted, they had basically recovered after a day of rest.

At sunset the next day, Guan Yi summoned Chen Lie, Zhuge Shang and others to discuss the matter of attacking Yang'an Pass.

Unexpectedly, before the meeting began, a scout hurried in and reported that a troop of about thirty or forty men had been found in the jungle of Beishan, all dressed as Han soldiers. The scouts knew that it had been half a year since the fall of Yang'an Pass, and under normal circumstances, there could be no Han soldiers and horses in the hinterland of the Wei army's grain and grass, so they did not dare to determine the authenticity, so they came to report to Guan Yi for his decision.

This news surprised Guan Yi, Yinping Mountain has a unique topography, standing on the mountainside and overlooking the entire Yang'an Pass, what happened to the Han army that the scout said, and actually chose the camp on Yinping Mountain? Thinking in his heart, he didn't dare to delay, so he immediately terminated the meeting, let Chen Lie and Zhuge Shang guard the camp, and he and Ehu led eighteen horsemen to guard the blood, and rushed over to find out under the leadership of the scout.

Chen Lie knew that Guan Yi was brave and invincible, and the eighteen cavalry blood guards were also first-class players in a hundred, with the protection of the Ehu and the eighteen cavalry blood guards, even if they couldn't defeat the other party when they were suddenly in danger, it was not difficult to get out, and they were not dissuaded.

The camp of the Guan Yi brigade is located in the west of Yinping Mountain, and it is the north of Yinping Mountain when it turns the mountain, and it is the work of a stick of incense. The blood guard scout was good at stealth spying, and before he came back to report the news, he had already observed the surrounding geographical situation clearly, and Guan Yi and his party under his leadership quietly avoided the other party's second sentry post and quietly approached the other party's camp.

But I saw that on a depression under the soil slope where hundreds of men and horses could be tuned, seven or eight simple camp tents were set up around it with linen cloth and tree branches, and a large number of horses made of wood were arranged at the edge of the depression, and several sergeants were on duty with halberds.

Guan Yi glanced at the tattered Han army armor on the sergeants, and was sure that none of them were dressed as Wei soldiers, and when he was thinking about why this group of men and horses was hiding in the mountains, he saw one of the tents opened, and several Han generals strode out. Among them, the Han general who walked in the front, about thirty-five or sixteen years old, although his hair and beard were messy and his face was haggard, but seeing his strong body, resolute eyes, and his own terrifying majesty between Gu Pan, Guan Yi saw it really, this Han general was the governor of Guanzhong who he was suspenseful about day and night.

Guan Yi's joy was not trivial, as early as when Jiang Youshu was in Jiangyoushu, he heard that the scouts reported that Fu Yan's body had not been found among the Han troops who died in the battle of Yang'an Pass. At that time, Guan Yi was surprised and happy in his heart, and only hoped that Fu Jiji would have a natural appearance and not die in the chaos. Seeing him in the jungle of Yinping Mountain now, how could he not be ecstatic?

Looking at this situation, it must be that Fu Tong highlighted the encirclement of the Wei army after the fall of Yang'an Pass, gathered the defeated troops and hid in Yinping Mountain to wait for the situation. It's just that it is the cold winter season right now, the wind and frost are tight, and these thirty or forty people are short of food and clothing, how do they survive these days?

Guan Yi shook his head and stood up, he couldn't figure it out, so he had to ask Fu Yi for an answer.
