But said that the Han army that was tackling the key problems lost its geographical advantage, so although it fought desperately, but there was no progress, but its own casualties were huge, and when it was helpless, it saw that the pass was on fire everywhere, shouting and killing shook the sky, and then saw the gate wide open, and immediately understood that the Wei army was attacked by someone, where was willing to miss such a good opportunity, and the team of people and horses shouted, and swarmed into the pass.

"Old General Zhang, Guan Yi is here, the old general can quickly grab the pass!"

Guan Yi slashed a rushing Wei soldier to the ground with a knife, raised his eyes and looked around, but saw that the Han army that broke into the pass had a clear banner, it was one of the four elites of the Han Dynasty, the Tiger Infantry Army, the first general, holding a spear, with a mighty posture and awe-inspiring momentum, before people arrived, it already made people feel a kind of suffocating depression, it was Zhang Yi, the general of the Han Left Cavalry. Guan Yi saw Zhang Yi and was overjoyed, since he was the vanguard, Jiang Wei's army must not be far from Qipanguan.

"General Zhang, Fu Yan is here!" When Fu Yi saw Zhang Yi, his heart was also ecstatic, and a crescent halberd blocked the invincible, rolling the three-foot range around him into a halberd shadow.

There was a sudden chaos in Qipanguan, Zhang Yi vaguely guessed that it should be Guan Yi's team that did the internal response, but he never thought that Fu Yi was still alive, and he appeared in Qipanguan at the same time as Guan Yi. At the beginning, the scout detective reported that Yang'an Pass had fallen, Jiang Shu had surrendered to the Wei army, Fu He had disappeared, and the Han army thought that he had died in battle. If it weren't for the tension of the war, the imperial court would have issued an edict at this time.

"Brothers, go in with me!" Zhang Yi was pleasantly surprised, this Qipanguan is steep and abnormal, it is really a critical place for a man to pass the pass, a thousand guards of the Wei army will block their three thousand soldiers and horses under the pass, since the two sides have been engaged, they have lost hundreds of people in less than half an hour, but the Qipanguan is still solid, although Zhang Yi is full of anger but helpless.

Now that there is suddenly such a good opportunity, where is Zhang Yi willing to let it go? The horse crashed in first, and the probe shot a Wei soldier in front of the horse poked him in the heart, and then with the strength of his wrist, he picked his corpse out and smashed it on several Wei soldiers who rushed over desperately, and the muffled screams were endless. This kind of momentum, where is it like the twilight of the ear? It's quite like Cao Cao's words: Lao Ji is in wait and has ambitions. The martyrs are in their twilight years, and their hearts are strong.

The Wei soldiers only had 1,000 men and horses, and the blood guard was not an opponent in a one-on-one confrontation, and now he also lost the main general Qiu Jian, and after Zhang Yi's brigade of Han troops swarmed into the pass, the whole line immediately collapsed, and the chaos was a mess. Although the general who fought against Zhuge Shang was also a brave general in a hundred battles, how could he be Zhuge Shang's opponent? The two fought for three rounds, and then they were slashed in the right arm by Zhuge Shang, and they lost their ability to resist under the severe pain, and they were pierced through the chest by a knife again, making Zhuge Shang's soul under the knife.

After Guan Yi casually eliminated a Wei soldier, he saw that the situation on the battlefield was already clear, in addition to the Hubu Army led by Zhang Yi, there was a steady stream of soldiers and horses coming in outside Guan, looking at the armor and clothing, but it was not the Wudang Flying Army under Guan Suo? I was thinking about it, and sure enough, I saw several generals hurrying to ride their horses, the first one, carrying a big knife, awe-inspiring and mighty, it was the third uncle Guan Suo, the two female generals around him, dressed in habitual clothes, charming charm, naturally "flower knife" Bao Sanniang and "Fire Phoenix" flower mane.

Guan Yi was greatly surprised, thinking that Jiang Wei knew that the Wudang Flying Army was good at mountain warfare, so he led the troops together with Zhang Yi and Guan Suo as the vanguard generals and took the lead in pursuing the Wei army.

After half an hour, except for those who escaped by taking advantage of the chaos, the remnants of the Wei army in the pass were basically wiped out, and those who resisted were hacked to death by the Han army. The overall situation was decided, and Zhang Yi immediately ordered the troops to clean up the battlefield and extinguish the remaining fires in the pass.

Guan Yi put the knife into the sheath, wiped a handful of sweat, and then hurriedly ran to Guan Suo to greet the three of them.

The officers and men of the Han army were all good at mountain warfare, but the defensive operations and offensive capabilities of each battalion were quite different. Since the formation of Guan Suo's Wudang Flying Army, it has inherited the combat characteristics of the flying army of that year, so this time Guan Suo and Zhang Yi led the pioneer seal, but the two have their own division of labor, chasing and covering up, with Guan Suo's Wudang Flying Army as the mainstay, tackling key problems and overcoming dangers, and taking the most elite Hubu Army of the Han Dynasty as the first.

Therefore, the Han army attacked Qipanguan overnight, with the Hubu Army as the front army, and Guan Suo and his two wives led 3,000 Wudang Fei troops as the rear army. When the Han army entered the pass, Guan Suo only said that it was Zhang Yi's front army that broke the gate, but who would have thought that Guan Yi took advantage of the situation to sneak attack behind the Wei army and joined forces with Zhang Yi, so he captured Qipan Pass.

"Okay, good, you have made meritorious contributions to the imperial court, and you deserve to be a good man of my Guan family!" Guan Suo never expected to see Guan Yi here, and he was extremely happy in his heart. After listening to Guan Yi's brief account of the sneak attack on Qipanguan, he laughed out loud and felt even more proud in his heart.

"By the way, why don't you see my fourth aunt?"

Bao Sanniang glanced at Guan Suo and sighed: "Since you left the Sword Pavilion, your fourth aunt has been talking about it every day, and she really took a lot of heart for you, but later she fell ill. ”

Guan Yi was taken aback, thinking of Guan Yinping's motherly voice, his heart suddenly went up and down, and he hurriedly said, "How is the fourth aunt now?" ”

The pheasant shook his tail lightly and said with a smile: "Child, you don't have to worry, your fourth aunt later heard that you burned Yang'an Pass and achieved great achievements, so she felt a lot less worried in her heart, and her death has gradually improved." After Zhong Hui withdrew from the army, your fourth aunt originally asked for an order to cover up and kill Wei Bing with us and others, but her illness improved, and she should not be overworked. Therefore, the general ordered her and your uncle Li to lead 3,000 troops to guard the Sword Pavilion, and then they will rest and recuperate. Come to think of it, there must be no big problem at this point. ”

Guan Suo gently patted Guan Yi's shoulder, his lips squirmed, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say a word. He understood Guan Yinping's worries, since this nephew led the troops to attack Yang'an Pass alone, why didn't he worry about him day and night? It's just that as a pioneer general of the Han Army, he is not as delicate as his daughter's family, so although he is worried in his heart, he never wants to show it. At this moment, when I saw Guan Yi at first glance and knew that he was intact, my heart seemed to have put down a big stone, and I knew that it would be superfluous to say anything.

Guan Yi nodded lightly, Guan Yinping's condition improved, naturally he couldn't be better. Besides, at present, the military situation is urgent, and even if you are worried and uneasy, you can only force yourself to suppress it in your heart, otherwise it will be a loss of the general situation if you delay the major national affairs. As soon as he thought of this, he immediately collected his mood, barely squeezed out a smile, and said: "I hope that the fourth aunt will recover soon, and my nephew is here to wish for it!" ”

"Who is I wishing you for? You wait, this time to capture the Qipan Pass, if you don't respond, the old man is afraid that he won't be able to take this pass, let the old man thank you first. A hearty laugh sounded behind him, Guan Yi turned his head, and saw the old general Zhang Yi striding towards the meteor, and it was indeed a dragon and a tiger, and the majesty was incomparable.

In the face of this high-ranking and powerful military veteran, Guan Yi didn't dare to have the slightest support, hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said respectfully: "This is all the work of the old generals and all the soldiers!" How can Guan Yi dare to claim credit? ”

Zhang Yi saw that he was extremely humble, without the slightest arrogance and complacency of young people, and even more appreciated it in his heart, and smiled at Guan Suo: "Respect is brave and strategic, meritorious but not arrogant, he is really a young hero, and he will be able to achieve a career in time, and the future is immeasurable." This is the blessing of the Guan family, and it is also the blessing of my Han! ”

Guan Suo laughed and said: "Old General Zhang praised it falsely, although this son has some minor skills, he still needs to be mentioned by the old general in the future!" ”

"How dare you ......" Although Zhang Yi is more than ten years older than Guan Suo, but in terms of seniority, he is the same generation as Guan Suo, the two are both important military ministers relied on by the Han court, and they have known each other for many years, so they naturally do not have the usual politeness when they speak.

Guan Suodao: "Right now, our army has won the Qipan Pass, so there is no danger in Hanzhong to stop it, and our army just took advantage of the situation to cover up the Wei army and capture Zhonghui alive." What does the old general think? ”

"What do you think?" Zhang Yi did not answer Guan Suo, but asked Guan Yi instead.

Guan Yi said with a smile: "The last general thinks that the third uncle's view is deeply in line with the art of war. I expected that Zhong Hui would inevitably have imagined that Qiu Jian would lose Qipanguan in just one hour, and the Wei army had lost all its grain and grass, and the soldiers had no heart to fight. ”

Zhang Yi nodded, pressed his sword back and forth a few steps, and said slowly: "What Jing Zhi said is quite reasonable. But the old man thought that although Zhong Hui retreated, there would be elite soldiers left. In my opinion, our army only needs to follow behind the Wei army, beating drums and shouting to disturb it, and the Wei army does not know the reality of our army, and there is a lack of food and grass, so it will not dare to stay and abandon Hanzhong. At that time, our army will be able to recover Hanzhong without spending a single soldier, isn't it beautiful? ”

Guan Suo sighed: "Sun Tzu said: The old general has won the samadhi of the army, and Guan admires it!" ”

Guan Yi thought about it for a while, and then understood what Zhang Yi meant. Sun Tzu's Art of War: "Ten is to encircle, five is to attack, multiple is to fight, the enemy can be divided, less can be defended, if not, it can be avoided", although the Han army won the Qipan Pass in just one hour, but after all, it did not damage the bones of the Wei army.

Although at this time, if the Han army had gone all out to cover up and kill the Wei army, the victory rate would be more than ninety, but the Wei army counted the soldiers and horses stationed in Hanzhong, there were 100,000 people, while the vanguard troops of Zhang Yi and Guan Suo were only 5,000 people, and the difference in strength was too great. Even if Jiang Wei's main force of the whole division was pulled up, there were only 30,000 people, less than one-third of the Wei army.

What's more, killing a thousand enemies will cause 800 self-losses, and 30,000 horses will encircle and annihilate 100,000 tigers and wolves, the consequences can be imagined, not to mention that there are more than 10,000 people and horses of Deng Ai stationed in Baishui Pass.

Guan Yi knew very well in his heart that although Li Qiu and Huang Chong had 20,000 Lin Wei in their hands, it was okay for them to stick to Muyuzui, but if it was a decisive battle, the two were definitely not Deng Ai's enemies. Taking a step back, even if he defeats the Wei army, it is estimated that it will be a miserable victory, which is not a cost-effective deal for a Han whose family background is far less than that of Cao Wei.

In this regard, Guan Yi ignored it.

Zhang Yi is a veteran figure in the Han army, and he knows the military and politics of the Han Dynasty well. It was not that he did not know that this was a great opportunity to encircle and annihilate the Wei army, but he was more aware of the disparity in strength between the Han, Wei, and Wu armies, so his suggestion was relatively more secure at this time.

Guan Yi calmed down from the joy of outwitting Qipanguan, and immediately became clear-eyed, originally he was still very strange, how Jiang Wei suddenly changed his previous style of acting, making Zhang Yi and Guan Suo the vanguard, but he led the main force to follow up, now it seems that Zhang Yi's suggestion should represent Jiang Wei's meaning, that is, Jiang Wei's plan at this time is to force the enemy to retreat, with the main purpose of recovering Hanzhong, rather than fighting to the death with the Wei army. Otherwise, with Jiang Wei's courage and consistent strategy, he would definitely not let go of the great opportunity to cover up and kill the Wei army when Zhonghui retreated on all fronts.

However, if this is the case, does it mean that Jiang Wei has completely overturned the original military defense strategy of "wrongly defending the encirclement and gathering troops in the valley"?

"Report to the ......" Guan Yi was groaning, and a Han army scout hurriedly ran over, saluted Zhang Yi, and said in a loud voice: "General Qiyu, the general has an order, after the two generals captured Qipanguan, they immediately divided their troops into two routes, and followed the Wei army all the way out of Ningqiang, Kuanchuan to Jinniuyi; All the way out of the Yinjia Mountain Road, disturbing Yang'an Pass, so that Qinggang could not take care of each other. The general repeatedly instructed the two generals to send more sentry cavalry to investigate on the road, so as not to fall into the enemy's ambush, and at the same time try not to engage the Wei army head-on, just beat the drum and shout along the way, bluff the flag, and frighten the Wei army. ”

Zhang Yi nodded and said, "Where is the general now?" ”

"It's less than thirty miles away from Qipanguan!"

Guan Suo said: "Since the general has an order, we just need to follow the order!" ”

Zhang Yi thought for a while and said, "You go back and report to the general, and the two of us are acting on orders." Please ask the general to come to this level as soon as possible, thinking that he will respond. ”

"No!" The scout answered, turned and sprang away.

Guan Yi no longer had any doubts at this time, Jiang Wei really had no intention of fighting hard with Wei Jun. But it's okay to do this, he and nearly a thousand men and horses under Fu Yan have persevered in the mountains and mountains for many days, and they are already exhausted, so they can take this opportunity to take a rest.
