Jiexiu Guannan, the camp of the Zhou army. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhang Yuan stood outside the camp, looking at the dangerous pass standing in the mountains from afar, and said with emotion: "The danger of Taihang is really not inferior to Zhaoling, this Yuan Shang's sphere of influence is the same as Yizhou, all of them are mountains and rivers on the surface, easy to defend and difficult to attack." ”

In the past few days, Zhang Yuan has deeply realized the danger of Yuan Shang's sphere of influence.

Although his army to the north was as large as 80,000, since he marched north along Hedong County, his soldiers and horses could only march along the narrow roads on both sides of the Fenshui River, and along the way they had to storm one Vietnamese pass after another.

After ten days of marching, after paying thousands of casualties, his soldiers were killed in front of the Jiexiu Pass.

That is to say, in ten days, his army only advanced more than eighty miles north.

After that, there are several fortified cities, each of which is built on the mountain, and the city wall is built of mountain stones, so strong that even the thunder cannon can't break it.

If he attacks all the way, he is afraid that in less than a year and a half, his army will not want to kill Yueyang.

What gave Zhang Yuan the most headache was the grain and grass.

Yuan Shang's sphere of influence is treacherous, the mountain roads are already difficult to travel, and the grain and grass are difficult to transport, if it is delayed until the beginning of spring next year, as soon as the rain falls, the rugged mountain roads will become muddy, and it will be even more difficult to walk.

At the same time, the transportation of grain and grass could not keep up, and the attack was not eye-catching, so Zhang Yuan had no choice but to retreat.

Zhang Yuan had to say that he could underestimate Yuan Shang, but he couldn't underestimate the terrain and danger of Yuan Shang's sphere of influence.

"Report," the rebuke rushed to the court, "King Zhou, General Lan Yu has just sent news that Cao Cao has transferred 10,000 soldiers and horses back to Shiguan, and the pressure on Hangu Pass has been reduced a lot, so he asks the king not to worry anymore."

Hearing the news, Zhang Yuan perked up and looked at Li Si, "Li Si, it seems that your plan to kill two birds with one stone has already laid down a bird." ”

"The pressure on Hanguguan has been reduced, and the play we played to Yuan Shang should almost end, and it's time to implement the second bird." A smirk crossed Lees' eyes.

At this time, Li Cunxiao, who was unaware of the situation next to him, said: "Although the pressure of Hangu Pass has been reduced, although we can attack Yuan Shang with all our might, but this thief has obviously been prepared, and all the checkpoints south of Yueyang are reinforced with mountains and stones, and our heavenly thunder artillery cannot be blasted. ”

"What else can you do if you don't attack, I think you can only attack hard." Li Dingguo scratched his head and shouted.

Zhang Yuan and Li Si glanced at each other, and a hint of knowing smirk appeared in the eyes of the two ministers at the same time.

"Since you can't open the road to Yueyang City head-on, why don't you change your thinking and take a detour." Li Si smiled meaningfully.

"Roundabout." Li Cunxiao and Li Dingguo looked dazed, and they couldn't guess Li Siyan's mystery for a while.

Zhang Yuan had already smiled and said: "If you can't attack head-on, if this king doesn't attack, you will order the whole army to pull out the camp and go south, and then let the wind go to this king, let us divert to Pusaka and attack Guanzhong with the main army." ”

Diversion Guanzhong.

Li Cunxiao and other generals were shocked, and they didn't want Zhang Yuan to suddenly change their strategy, so they temporarily decided to tackle key problems.

If you don't defend the terrain of Yuan Shang's sphere of influence in front of you, since there is nothing you can do, it may not be wise to change your strategy to tackle key problems.

Li Cunxiao's generals did not dare to question it, and immediately went to convey the order.

The next day, the Zhou army, which was located directly south of Jiexiu Pass, began to retreat slowly, and nearly 80,000 Zhou troops retreated along Fen one after another, and within a few days they retreated to Anyi, the administrative office of Hedong.

At the same time, the fine work of touching the dragon also released rumors, saying that Zhang Yuan had decided to attack Guanzhong and change the first to destroy Zhao first.

As soon as the Zhou army withdrew, the news quickly spread to the Jiexiu Pass.

Yuan Shang and his ministers, more than 10,000 low-spirited Vietnamese troops, heard the news of the retreat of the Zhou army, and they were all relieved and relieved.

"Zhang Yuan must have seen that my Yuan Shang's sphere of influence was dangerous, and he was finally forced to retreat." Yuan Shang looked at the information in his hand, and also breathed a sigh of relief, and praised Sima Yi: "Zhongda, thanks to your strategy, you can help this prince turn the crisis into safety." ”

Sima Yi had a somewhat confident smile on his mouth, as if he was proud of his strategic success, he stroked his short beard slightly, and his whole body gradually filled with a bit of pride.

Although he was a little proud, he didn't dare to underestimate Zhang Yuan too much, and said: "Although Zhang Yuan retreated, this thief is very deceitful, Yi is only afraid that he is just pretending to retreat and go to attack the fortifications, but he wants to take advantage of our slack to give us a surprise attack. ”

Yuan Shang was convinced of Sima Yi at this time, so he naturally obeyed his words, and did not dare to relax at the moment, still patrolling the city day and night, and sent a rebuke to strictly investigate the movements of the Zhou army.

A few days later, the information that came back one after another finally dispelled Yuan Shang's worries.

Intelligence claimed that a large amount of grain and grass sent to Jiexiu had been diverted to the front line of Pusaka, and Xiao Maha's front soldiers and horses were also cutting wood and building rafts to prepare for crossing the river.

All indications are that Zhang Yuan has given up attacking his nephew and is determined to use troops against Zhao.

Yuan Shang could finally breathe a sigh of relief, thinking about sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and when Zhang Yuan was defeated by the other princes of the Four Roads, it would not be too late to send troops to get a piece of the pie.

Outside the city of Anyi.

The 80,000 battalions were all out of the camp, and the formation was over, just waiting to be pulled.

Li Cunxiao rode his horse and said: "King Zhou, the army has been assembled, just wait for the king of Zhou to give an order, and the soldiers will kill Puban and take Guanzhong." ”

"Who said that this king is going to take Guanzhong." Zhang Yuan's young face raised a cold smirk.

Li Cunxiao was stunned for a moment, wasn't the strategy set in Jiexiu the previous time because Yuan Shang's sphere of influence was difficult to attack, so he changed his strategy, crossed the river from Pubanjin to the west, and went to attack Guanzhong, what did King Zhou mean by this.

Just when Li Cunxiao was at a loss, Zhang Yuan had already turned over and mounted his horse, pointed to the east, and shouted heroically: "Pass on the edict of the king, the whole army will return to Hanoi County in the east, and according to the original plan, take Huguan with me in the north,"

...

Back to Hanoi. Attack the pot level.

Li Cunxiao's figure was shocked. Suddenly stunned.

Thoughts raced. The look is like a tide. I was stunned for a moment. Li Cunxiao's confused face. Suddenly, a deep shock erupted.

The enlightened Li Cunxiao. said excitedly: "It turns out that the king's attack on Guanzhong is just a suspicious plan. The real purpose was to make Yuan Shang unguarded. Attacking Yuan Shang's sphere of influence from the direction of Huguan, the king's strategy really made the last general admire. ”

Zhang Yuan laughed.

This is a strategy. It is the second bird in Lisi's plan to kill two birds with one stone.

This Sang Dang district is located in the north of Hanoi district. There is Taihang Mountain in the east. There is Ran Dashan in the west. It is only connected to Hanoi to the south. It is bordered by Taiyuan County to the north.
