Chapter 1216: Tianmu Mountain

Huang Gai said: "Among the mountains, the bow and arrow come first. Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Our army has another cavalry force, and Li Yi will never dare to chase the emperor regardless of us! ”

"That's true." Lu Xun followed and said, "The governor of Pontus will allocate all the arrows to you. ”

Jiang Gan asked again: "What if Li Yi divides his troops and continues to chase?" To hold on is to lose meaning. ”

Lu Xun sneered: "Tianmu Mountain is active and wide, in order to prevent you from entering the army from other places to sweep the rear, Li Yi will definitely not divide the troops." What's more, Li Yi divided his troops and his combat effectiveness decreased sharply, and the emperor was not afraid of him here. In addition, if Shanyue was bribed, someone naturally went to deal with Li Yi. ”

Jiang Gan also felt that this was a feasible plan, so he bowed and said: "Wechen must do his best to drag Li Yi, hoping that the emperor can buy those Shanyue people, and in the future, Wechen can hide in the mountains of Tianmu Mountain, and then contribute to the emperor." ”

Sun Quan got up, patted his chest and promised: "Aiqing, don't worry, when I pass through Tianmu Mountain, I will send the Metropolitan Governor to personally find the commanders of all parties in Shanyue. ”

Shanyue was the collective name of the armed forces of the Yue people in the Jiangnan area at that time. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, at the beginning of the Yellow Turban, the world was in turmoil, there were Pan Lin, Peng Qi, Peng Shi, Fei Zhan, Zu Lang, Yan Baihu, Jin Qi, Mao Gan, Huang Chao and many other local separatist forces, because of social turmoil, or did not accept the king's rent and occupied the mountain as the king, which was collectively called Shanyue.

The Book of Jin once called the process of Wang Rui, a general of the Western Jin Dynasty, destroying Eastern Wu, "Wang Jun's Southern Expedition...... The soldiers have no bloody blades, and the more they are in ruins. "The Book of Jin and Emperor Wu" refers to Eastern Wu as Yangyue. It can be seen that the reason for the name of Shanyue may only be the regional name of the bandit. The word Yamagoe also often appears together with bandits, mountain people, etc. This also explains why the Shanyue forces have no connection with each other, and they are numerous, and they appear from time to time.

During the Three Kingdoms, the distribution range of Shanyue reached the sea in the east, the Xiangjiang River in the west, the Yangtze River in the north, and Jiaozhou in the south, which was equivalent to some mountainous areas of Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Fujian and other provinces in later generations.

Danyang County is the center of activity in Sangoe.

Since the second year of Yuanfeng of the Western Han Dynasty (111 B.C.), the counties and Jianye in southern Anhui have always been the jurisdiction of Danyang County. Yi and She two counties in the south of southern Anhui, the mountains and rivers are dangerous, the north resists the Yangtze River, can be far away from the northern enemy, connects Sanwu in the east, connects Yuzhang in the south, can pass through the east of Zhejiang, is the hub of communication between Jiangdong and various places in the south, and its strategic position is very important; Wuhu, an important town along the Yangtze River in southern Anhui, reaches the Central Plains in the north, and reaches Jingxiang in the west. Shanyue is extremely active in Danyang, Xuancheng, Jing, Lingyang, Shi'an, Yi, and Shezhuwei counties in the heart of this hinterland.

In order to consolidate the power and plunder the labor force and soldiers, Sun Quan dispatched generals to pacify Shanyue from the time he took power. In the eighth year of Jian'an, Sun Quan went west to conquer Huangzu, and when he was about to break the city, Shanyue revived, seriously threatening Sun Wu's rear and forcing Sun Quan to withdraw his troops. After Sun Quan retreated eastward, he sent LΓΌ Fanping to Poyang; Ling Cao begged for Le'an; Zhoutai territorial sea dusk; Huang Gai, Chen Wu, Ding Feng, Lu Meng and others served as county magistrates in the areas with the most frequent activities in Shanyue, and they leveled Shanyue in various places.

In the first year of Huanglong, at the beginning of Eastern Wu, Lu Xun suggested that Sun Quan should overcome the enemy and settle the chaos, and the mountains were more and more deeply blocked, and the henchmen were not at peace, and it was difficult to go far. So Sun Quan ordered Lu Xun to conquer Shanyue in the three counties of Huiji, Danyang, and Xindu, and take the captured people as soldiers, and those who lost them as civilian households, and tens of thousands of soldiers.

Although Sun Wu won several battles against Shanyue, he did not shake the foundation of Shanyue. Especially in the mountains of Tianmu Mountain, Xianxialing, Jiuyi Mountain and other mountains at the junction of Fujian, Zhejiang, Anhui and Jiangxi provinces in later generations, the power of Shanyue is still very strong.

Before this, Shanyue had always been a big problem for Dongwu, but on the way to escape now, Shanyue has become Sun Quan's hope.

………………

Emperor Wude Li Yi led 30,000 iron cavalry and 3,000 special forces to search for traces of Sun Quan and his party along the road, and chased them all the way.

Although the cavalry of the Tang army marched fast, Sun Quan and his party set off three days before all, so it was not until Sun Quan and his party escaped from Tianmu Mountain that the Tang army caught up.

The Tang army camp, the central imperial tent, Li Yi frowned, stared at the sand table in front of him, and asked Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, who were with the army: "The enemy is stationed in the mountains, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, obviously to delay time. Or can the troops be divided, what do the two Aiqing think? ”

Pang Tong shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this Tianmu Mountain is a hundred miles in circumference, and the area is extensive. The enemy was stationed here just to drag the emperor's soldiers and horses. But if the emperor abandons it, their persistence will lose its meaning and will be transferred. ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Tianmu Mountain is active and wide, and it can't be guarded by dividing troops. In addition, if the troops were divided, even if they caught up with Sun Quan, it would be difficult to pose a mortal threat. ”

Li Yi was a little annoyed, he naturally knew what Sun Quan's kid had in mind. He left 20,000 horses in this Tianmu Mountain, and he was clearly holding on and waiting for himself to attack. If you go to attack, it will have no effect if there are fewer people and horses, and if there are more people, the force of pursuit will not be enough. Therefore, it is not possible to divide the troops.

On the premise that he could not divide the troops, he continued to lead his troops to pursue and rescued the people who were held hostage by Sun Quan, but because of the appearance of the enemy in the rear, the place was raging, and the people suffered great casualties, it would be the same as not being rescued.

However, Sun Quan is now holding a large number of ordinary people, the marching speed is slow, and his side is full of cavalry. If he destroys these enemy soldiers left in Tianmu Mountain in the shortest possible time, maybe there is still a possibility of catching up with Sun Quan. In particular, he also arranged for Xie Xuan's troops and horses to go to Yuhang to intercept Sun Quan, presumably with Xie Xuan's more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, he should be able to block Sun Quan.

So, Li Yi made a decision, sent troops to Tianmu Mountain, and pulled out this thorn in the eye and thorn in the flesh.

………………

Li Yi led the army to the north of Tianmu Mountain.

The environment of the Three Kingdoms era was good, there was no haze, and it was more than ten miles away. I saw that this Tianmu Mountain is very tall, with peaks and peaks inside, strange peaks protruding, and clouds and mountains covered with fog.

Qingliang Peak, the main peak of Tianmu Mountain, is more than 20 kilometers long from east to west, and more than 10 kilometers from north to south. The mountain slopes from southeast to northwest, and the highest point is nearly 1,800 meters above sea level.

Li Yi led the army to the north mountain pass, and saw that on the high slope one mile wide, the Dongwu camp blocked the entrance. On the one hand, he ordered the army to set up camp, and on the other hand, he led 10,000 cavalry to inspect the camp of Dongwu.

This side has just lined up the formation, only to hear a drum in the Dongwu Village, two thousand cavalry rushed out.

This cavalry was created by Sun Quan, and it is also elite.

The two sides faced Fang Yuan, and under the sunset, the spirit of slaughter was soaring.

Jiang Gan turned his horse left and right in front of the battle, connected the silver spear in his hand, and shouted: "Where is the puppet emperor Li Yi!" ”

The banner door of the Tang Army's battle array was wide open, and Li Yixuan, dressed in Xuanjia and armor, walked out with an overlord gun in his hand. The four generals of Dian Wei, Li Cunxiao, Gao Chong, and Zhang He will escort them, and Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong will accompany them.

"Li Yi, you ......" Jiang Gan's eyes were angry, if his eyes could kill, he would definitely not mind killing Li Yi ten thousand times.

Li Yi and his horses stopped, and he saw that the slope was narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the inside was even steeper. Since ancient times, the brave have won when they meet on the narrow road, and to become a brave, morale must be high. Defeat the morale of the enemy, boost the morale of your own side, and only on the battlefield where the enemy occupies the terrain can our side achieve victory.

So Li Yi's brain moved, and the overlord gun in his hand pointed directly at Jiang Gan, and said angrily: "Shameless child! ”

Jiang Gan's words were interrupted, he was taken aback, and said what is the situation, Sun Quan who you beat here is about to run away from Yizhou, are you still so angry?

He also glared angrily and exclaimed, "Li Yi, what do you want?" ”

Li Yi pointed the overlord gun in his hand at Jiang Gan, and reprimanded angrily: "Jiang Ziyi, I trust you so much, invite you to sleep on your feet, and allow you to be the assassin of Yangzhou......"

Jiang Gan was shocked when he heard this, his mouth opened, and the handsome face of this white jade turned black.

The accompanying Dongwu soldiers didn't know such a thing at all, and couldn't help but whisper: "What's the situation?" Emperor Wude allowed the deputy governor of Yangzhou to assassinate the history?! Is the vice-governor going to surrender? ”

"Several generals, the deputy governor is going to surrender, quickly order him to be captured!"

Lu Su and the three of them said in their hearts that Jiang Ziyi, this stupid fool, is a bad thing, it is better not to want this Laoshizi Yangzhou assassin history, if you Jiang Ziyi was generous and righteous at the beginning, now there is nothing to do, and we are naturally still guarding the Yangtze River defense line.

However, now it's too late to say anything, and he still needs to help Jiang Gan suppress this matter, Huang Gai's face was pale, and he angrily reprimanded the soldiers around him: "Fart, this is Emperor Wude's nonsense!" ”

The three of Lu Su suppressed the commotion of the troops, but Li Yi's words continued, he pointed at Jiang Gan's nose and scolded: "You took my Yangzhou assassination history, and if you don't do serious things, forget it, you also defected to the enemy and betrayed the country, and once again took refuge in Eastern Wu." In this world, how come there is such a despicable and shameless villain as you! ”

Jiang Gan's black face turned purple, and the whispers of the soldiers behind him made him even more embarrassed, and he shouted angrily: "The Governor of Bendu has not defected to the enemy and betrayed the country, and the Governor of Bendu has always been a courtier of Eastern Wu!" ”

Li Yi sneered: "Then why did you take my Yangzhou Assassin Official Seal?" ”

"This ......" Jiang Gan was speechless for a while.

Seeing this, the morale of the soldiers of Eastern Wu plummeted by fifty percent. On the other hand, on the Tang Army's side, they were all filled with righteous indignation, saying that Jiang Gan was really shameless, and he took the benefits but did not do anything.

Since ancient times, morale is the most important, and if the morale of one side cannot be restored, the other side will have a great advantage.

Li Yi raised his spear, stopped his own voice, and said loudly: "Jiang Gan, I will give you another chance." As long as you lead the whole army to surrender, the position of Yangzhou Assassin is still yours, how about it? ”

He connected Lu Su and the three of them and said, "There are three more, I will allow you to be equal to the position of assassin!" ”

The three armies of Eastern Wu immediately covered the four Jiang Gan with those terrifying eyes, and said in their hearts that they should not really surrender, that is the position of the state assassin.
