In the first year of Jian'an, Liu Wei decided to send troops to attack Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shuwen was first transmitted to Guanzhong, and to the place where Wuguan often met spring. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Chang Yuchun stationed 30,000 soldiers in Wuguan, and the 30,000 soldiers and horses were already strong and strong every day, Chang Yuchun received Liu Wei's letter, and immediately summoned Gan Ning and other generals, and said excitedly: "We have been stationed in Wuguan for more than a year, and Your Majesty finally remembered us, and issued an edict ordering us to be the vanguard and raise troops to attack Wuguan!"

Chang Yuchun passed on the discussion of Yuan Yuanwen to the generals, and Gan Ning looked at it and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty issued a discussion for Yuan Yuan, this is a big move, this attack on Nanyang, I am afraid we are just the vanguard."

Chang Yuchun shook his head and said: "Nanyang is garrisoned by Hou Junji, with as many as 50,000 soldiers and horses, not to mention that Nanyang is the largest county in the world, and there were originally nearly 2.5 million people during the Shun Emperor period. Over the years, they have experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion and been plagued by Yuan Shu, but I am afraid that there are still more than one million people in Nanyang. Nanyang has a strong heritage, and a few soldiers and horses can't take it! ”

"Nanyang is strong, so what method do you use to attack the general?" Gan Ning asked in a deep voice.

"Although Nanyang is strong, it is a plain, a flat river, easy to defend and difficult to attack, I only need to transfer 3,000 cavalry from Chang'an, cut off their grain routes, raid and intrude, and ambush them with infantry."

"And Yuan Shu is tyrannical and unpopular with the people, we will go out to conquer Yuan Shu, we must be popular with the people, just treat the people well along the way, how can the people not eat pot pulp to meet our Han army?"

Chang Yuchun put forward two strategies, one was to take advantage of the terrain and dispatch cavalry from Chang'an into Nanyang, borrowing the advantage of cavalry over infantry, intercepting grain routes, raiding, invading, and luring the enemy. The second is to take advantage of the people's righteousness, treat the people well, let the people's hearts belong to the Han Dynasty, and fundamentally disintegrate Yuan Shu's rule.

Gan Ning nodded after hearing this, and immediately thought of something and said: "Although the general's strategy is good, this is a strategy for a protracted war, and it is a method of step-by-step. But in addition to Nanyang, Yuan Shu also has Huainan, Yuzhou, Yangzhou, if we can't attack Yuan Shu for a long time, Yuan Shu will send soldiers and horses to help, this method will not work. ”

"Hmph, does he dare? Our army attacked Yuan Shu, and it was the Son of Heaven's soldiers and horses who fought against him. Yuan Shu, he dares to compete with our army with great fanfare? If he dares, he will definitely be in the name of Yuan Shu's rebellion! Chang Yuchun sneered.

Gan Ning suddenly realized when he heard this: "I didn't expect that at this level, if Yuan Shu dares to send more troops and horses to fight against our army, it will be his own admission to the crime of anti-thief, and then His Majesty can summon the princes of the world to jointly attack him!"

"It is precisely for this reason that Your Majesty issued a letter to Yuan Yuan, ordered Chang'an and Luoyang to prepare grain and grass, and prepared 30,000 troops to stand by, which is to prepare for a protracted battle!" Chang Yuchun nodded.

The generals nodded and came to their senses, and Chang Yuchun ordered: "The order is to go down to 30,000 soldiers and horses to prepare for battle, and I will immediately repair the book to Chang'an and request that 3,000 cavalry be transferred over." But in advance, I want to take Nanxiang County, use Nanxiang as a base to attack Nanyang, and Gan Xingba, you have 800 elite headquarters, good at water warfare, you quickly lead them and the craftsmen who are good at shipbuilding in Wuguan, build boats and boats in Danshui, and prepare to cross the river! ”

"Yes!" Gan Ning gave his hand and said.

Wuguan north according to the precipitousness of Shaoxi Mountain, south of Wuguan River valley of the absolute stream, the Yangtze River has a stream named Xiangjiang, and Xiangjiang River divides into several tributaries, among which Danshui, Zhejiang water will be surrounded by the mountain range where Wuguan is located.

Zhejiang water is on the right, Danshui is on the left, but Wuguan can only go out of Nanyang, or from the east out of Zhejiang water, from the west out of Danshui. From Wuguan out of Wuguan mountain road dozens of miles is Zhejiang water. Zheshui is surrounded by the Wuguan Mountains, and to the east of Zheshui, there are many county towns in Nanyang. As for Danshui, it is close to Hanzhong. To the southwest of Danshui, there is the Shangyong area, which was the northeast gateway of Liu Bei's forces. Later, Meng Da descended to Wei, and the Shangyong area was also obtained by Wei.

Nanxiang County is located south of Danshui, which is an important town in the west of Nanyang County. Nanxiang County can be regarded as an important stronghold for attacking Nanyang.

"But general, if you cross the Danshui from the south to attack Nanxiang, won't the soldiers and horses from the east come out of Zheshui?" Gan Ning wondered.

"Out of Zhejiang water is directly facing Nanyang, there are too many counties in that area, if we take it step by step, we face too many resistance, too many variables, it will not work. Or attack east from Nanxiang, so that we will occupy much more territory. Chang Yuchun waved his hand.

Chang Yuchun immediately decided to come down, Wuguan soldiers and horses out of Danshui to attack Nanxiang, not waiting for a large amount of grain and grass to arrive, the next morning, Chang Yuchun led three thousand elite soldiers to go out in person, these three thousand soldiers and horses are all newly trained soldiers and horses, and the army is only one year. Chang Yuchun planned to use these 3,000 soldiers and horses to take Nanyang.

On the shore of Danshui, Gan Ning had already built the ships needed by 3,000 soldiers and horses, Chang Yuchun was very satisfied and smiled: "There are many waterways in Nanyang, and there are many places that need ships.

"The last general obeys!" Gan Ning surrendered his order.

Chang Yuchun only carried a few days of grain and grass, and after crossing the Danshui with light travel, he went straight to Nanxiang City. There are not many defenders of Nanxiang City, only less than 500 people, often meet the spring soldiers under the city, build a cloud ladder, under the leadership of the Chang Yuchun body, but a charge often meets the spring to capture Nanxiang and kill into the city.

Chang Yuchun intended to train his troops, so the 500 defenders died nearly 400 in battle, while the Han army suffered no more than 100 casualties. After taking Nanxiang, Chang Yuchun saw that the casualties were not large, so he left 300 people to defend the city, led the rest of the men and horses, and attacked Wudang County that night.

After taking Wudang County, Chang Yuchun stopped marching because other county towns were closely separated, but it was difficult to garrison. And in each county seat, most of them are the children of the family appointed by Yuan Shu, if Chang Yuchun is in a hurry and goes deep alone, then the county town seized by the rear will definitely be chaotic.

Therefore, Chang Yuchun waited for Liu Wei to send talents to accept the counties, and after everything was ready, he continued to march eastward. After taking the two counties, Chang Yuchun made people list and calm the people on the one hand, and urged people to urge grain, grass and soldiers on the other hand.

The people of the two counties, get the news that the Han sent troops to Nanyang, all of them are vying to celebrate, often meet the strict discipline of the spring army, and there is no offense against the people in autumn, and soon the people's hearts have changed.

Among the two counties, the soldiers and horses who were defeated and fled by Yuan Shu, as well as the family who were interested in Yuan Shu, also rushed to Wancheng to report the news to Hou Junji, who was stationed in Wancheng.

In the Wancheng County Yazhong, Hou Junji got the news and immediately summoned the generals to come to the meeting, and Hou Junji sat on the main seat. Hou Jun was dressed in armor, he was about thirty-five years old, his appearance was thin and he had three long beards under his chin, but he was majestic.

It's just that Hou Junji's face is slightly gloomy, and the tip of his nose is even more inverted, like an eagle's beak.

"General, the Son of Heaven sent troops to attack Nanyang, but how is it good now?"

His Royal Highness asked, it seems that Liu Wei's identity is very intimidating to these people. Liu Wei didn't come to attack them, and they were happy under Yuan Shu's command, but now when Liu Wei came, they panicked.

"Huh, what? Are you scared? Hou Junji's expression was cold, and his eyes looked around at the generals under his command like eagle eyes.

"We don't dare to ......" His Royal Highness will be Hou Junji look at it like this, and all of them are cold in their hearts, and they are all in a hurry.

"Don't forget, everything you have is given by the lord, no one likes the betrayer, I don't like it with the lord, you have also heard of Liu Wei's character, and he doesn't like the two-sided and three-knife wall grass!" Hou Junji sneered.

"The last general will not dare to wait!"

"Don't dare, forgive you and don't dare, you know my means. But you don't have to be afraid of the Son of Heaven, the lord sits in Huainan, the territory under his command is fertile for thousands of miles, tens of millions of people, hundreds of thousands of people with armor, can be called the world's largest prince, just the Son of Heaven, what are you afraid of? Hou Junji said confidently.

The generals listened to Hou Junji's words, and their panicked hearts were a little relieved, after all, they were happy under Yuan Shu, and if they were under Liu Wei, they would not be able to stand such strict military discipline.

"Does the general have a strategy to break the enemy? Or do you want to ask the Lord to send troops for support? Ichisho asked, looking up.

"There are only 30,000 soldiers and horses in Wuguan, and I have 50,000 soldiers and horses in Nanyang, so I need to ask the lord to increase his troops and support? What's more, once the lord sends more soldiers and horses, it is a protracted war, and the Son of Heaven issues a document to crusade against the lord, once this happens, it is to confirm the name of the lord's rebellion. When the time comes, Liu Wei ordered the princes of the world to join forces to attack the lord, can you afford this responsibility? ”

If you only fight in Nanyang, it can only be regarded as a small fight, and it doesn't matter. Once the matter is big, Yuan Shu has offended many people over the years, and the territory under his command is also eye-catching, and the princes of the world will not join forces to deal with him.

"Then what is the general's strategy to break the enemy?"

Hou Junji stroked his beard and said: "The Son of Heaven's attack on Nanyang can be regarded as the first battle against the princes of the world, we only need to hold Nanyang, break his sharpness, and then their soldiers and horses will be defeated." Let's repel the soldiers and horses of the Son of Heaven, and the princes of the world will also know the strength of the Son of Heaven, and they will not be afraid of the Son of Heaven. ”

At this point, Hou Junji said in a deep voice: "The Son of Heaven uses Chang Yuchun as the vanguard, it is rumored that this person has competed with Lu Bu for one hundred and ten rounds, and the battle is known for his bravery, who dares to send troops to stop him?"

The generals look at me, but I see that no one dares to come out of the ranks to ask for battle, and when they come to the name of the courage of spring, the two of them retreated. Second, this is a battle with the Son of Heaven, which is of great significance, can only win, cannot be defeated, and if they win, the scenery is naturally infinite, but if they are defeated, they will enter the endless abyss, and they can't afford this crime.

"You often call yourself brave, why are you cowardly and afraid to fight when you are needed today?" Hou Junji's eyes narrowed and he snorted coldly.

"The last general is willing to meet Chang Yuchun!"

"The last general is willing to go!"

was so provoked by Hou Junji, His Royal Highness had two people step out and surrender their hands to fight.
