Chapter 206
In just a few days, the soldiers and horses in the pass continued to assemble to Luoyang City, and then drove to the Tiger Pass, hundreds of thousands of troops hoarded on the road from Luoyang to the Tiger Pass, which seemed very crowded. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
When Chen Xun saw the steady stream of soldiers and horses coming out of the pass, he couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.
This may be the biggest battle he commanded in his life, and it may also be the last battle in his life, the Hexi Army, the Wuwei Army, the Tianshui Army, and the Anding Army that was forcibly transferred by Chen Xun and originally belonged to the Liangzhou princes, 400,000 troops are gathering in Luoyang City, which is almost all the foundation of Chen Xun in Guanzhong, except for some necessary garrison soldiers and horses, this is already all the energy that can burst out.
Chen Xun brought Sima Yi, Fa Yan and Fa Zheng with him on this expedition, and this time Chen Xun promoted Fa Zheng to join the army, making Fa Zheng another high-level of Chen Xun Group. And Li Ru was left in Chang'an by Chen Xun, guarding the rear, under Li Ru's planning, the militia in Guanzhong is gathering frantically, according to Chen Xun's estimate, the militia in Guanzhong can help him at least replenish 50,000 to 80,000 troops.
"I also know that it doesn't seem worth it. In fact, with the current situation in Guanzhong, in just a few years, we will be able to have enough strength to easily recapture Luoyang. But now, we're going to fight a close battle! Deter the young people in Guanzhong, let the people of the world see who is the first prince in the world, no one can take my Chen Xun's territory, and no one dares to watch my home in Guanzhong. Chen Xun's words seemed to be ridiculous, like what a faint monarch had done, but his words made the generals in the tent can't help but boil their blood.
"We are willing to die for the Lord." It was Zhang Xiu who spoke first, and as Zhang Xiu's words fell, more generals shouted one after another, I am willing to die for the Lord.
Looking at the generals under his command who were boiling with fighting spirit, Sima Yi beside Chen Xun couldn't help frowning, he was a strategist, of course he thought more, if this battle was won, with the current situation in Guanzhong, it would not be possible to advance eastward, but if it failed, then Cao Cao's army would drive straight in, and then they could still escape there? Liangzhou? Or Hexi.
Chen Xun walked to Sima Yi's ear and said softly: "Cao Cao wants to fight for face, and we have to fight for an opportunity, in the end, we are the most at the loss of this war, if we win this battle, we can go out of Chang'an and attack the land of Xichuan in Hanzhong, if we lose, maybe our hard work in the past few years will come to naught, and those princes will turn into hungry wolves to encroach on our only remaining territory, such as Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, Liu Zhang in Xichuan, and ...... When Tian Yu of Bingzhou said his last name, Chen Xun couldn't help but pause, although Tian Yu said that Tian Yu is his ally now, but once he no longer has the strength to protect himself, then his ally will also become an enemy. ”
"Lord, since you ......" Sima Yi looked at Chen Xun, his face full of puzzlement.
Chen Xun smiled slightly; "This battle is a battle that determines the fortune of the world, we need time to develop, for this time, we must have a war, if we do not fight, with the soldiers and horses of Cao Cao's territory, we will have the strength to unify the world after a few years, even if we have the strength to resist Cao Cao, but only by virtue of the grain and grass in Guanzhong, the military government is afraid that it is difficult to maintain, and Guanzhong will inevitably be defeated after a few years. You must know that now although we have taken Hexi and other places, but those Qianghu people are not subject to naturalization, in the past five to ten years, they are only a burden to us in addition to the troops, and we want to let them really play their due role for at least twenty years, and in these twenty years, Cao Cao will not allow us to become bigger. ”
When Sima Yi heard this, he also knew that Chen Xun was talking about this truth, so he had to bow his hand to Chen Xun; "My subordinates are willing to die for the Lord."
......
Chen Xun himself did not come to the Tiger Prison Pass. He handed over all the military affairs of the Tiger Prison Pass to Wei Yan, although the Tiger Prison Pass is a male pass, but wanting to garrison 400,000 troops is tantamount to a fool's dream.
Wei Yan led 50,000 troops to garrison the Tiger Pass, and Chen Xun, the defense of Luoyang City, was handed over to Gao Shun, and he himself now suddenly headed north from the road of the Tiger Pass, assembled at Mengjin, and prepared to take Liyang through the Yellow River crossing and take Jizhou.
looked at Chen Xun, who suddenly divided his troops. Cao Cao couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
"It's really bold, and I dare to divide my troops when the troops are not as good as mine." Cao Cao ignored the soldiers and horses that were still gathered, and led the 300,000 troops of the Yanzhou base camp to Liyang.
When Cao Cao divided his troops, the soldiers and horses stationed in the Tiger Prison Pass suddenly came out and attacked Yangcheng in Yanzhou, Wei Yan wielded a big sword and took Yangcheng bloodlessly, but when Wei Yan entered Yangcheng, he found that there was some dangerous smell in the air.
Hundreds of rockets shot down from the sky, igniting the roof of Yangcheng, it turned out that before Wei Yan broke the city, Yangcheng had already prepared an ambush, just waiting for Wei Yan to enter the city.
"Wei Yanxiu is leaving, and Xiahou is still coming." Xiahou Shang, the son of Xiahou Yuan, led a large army to kill from all directions, so frightened that Wei Yan slapped his horse and left.
Wei Yan fought and retreated, bringing heavy casualties to the soldiers and horses.
Xiahou Shang's soldiers and horses did not chase deeply, but they were ambushed by Guanzhong soldiers on their way, and the leader of the troops was Changshan Zhao Zilong, who had the courage of ten thousand people.
Xiahou Shang was defeated, and Zhao Yun took advantage of the victory to pursue Yangcheng and held Yangcheng in his hands again, but the next day, Cao Cao's army surrounded Yangcheng and was impassable, and Zhao Yun had no choice but to lead his troops to break through and return to the Tiger Prison.
The current Tiger Prison Pass can be said to be full of seats, but it is not Wei Yan, the main general of the Tiger Prison Pass, who sits in the first place, but Chen Xun. It turned out that Chen Xun's dispatch of troops to attack Liyang was a pretense, and its purpose was to let Cao Cao divide his troops, but now judging from Cao Cao's ease of taking back Yangcheng, Cao Cao was not fooled, and his soldiers and horses were also pretending to rescue Liyang.
"Zilong and the generals obey the order, and tomorrow I will go to Yangcheng with me to meet Cao Mengde."
In the early morning, with a little dewdrop, the soldiers of Guanzhong followed Chen Xun out to Yangcheng, and this time Chen Xun took all the cavalry, so he arrived at the city of Yangcheng in just half a day. “
Above the city, a short and sturdy man looked at the cavalry under the city and couldn't help but secretly shout a good word.
"Cao Mengde, dare to go down to the city to fight." Chen Xun's spear was pointed directly at Cao Cao at the head of the city, and his face was full of provocation.
Hearing this, Cao Cao's color immediately changed, and it was okay to say that it was okay to single-handedly beat a boy like Yuan Shao, but to beat a fierce general like Chen Xun was to find death.
"Lord, I am willing to go down to the city to fight Chen Xun." Dian Wei knew Cao Cao's difficulties, and immediately asked for battle.
Cao Cao praised Dian Wei, and then asked him to go down to the city to fight Chen Xun, which could also indirectly lower Chen Xun's level, which made Cao Cao feel a little complacent.
