Chapter 386 Huang Xu sent troops to take Keigu, and Deng Ai was ambushed by the parrot pigeon

Let's say that Huang Xu and Jiang Wei led the army out of Chang'an and entered the Xiegu Pass.

It turned out that Jiang Wei received the order and immediately went to Chang'an.

From Huang Xu's mouth, Jiang Wei learned about Deng Ai's situation, so he told Huang Xu: "Deng Ai is familiar with the terrain and is very good at using soldiers. After several defeats, there is no doubt that its troops are insufficient! If it is helped by brute soldiers, the consequences will be unimaginable! A certain knew that he sent troops to the valley, and did not use the three Cao brothers. Cao Ren's three sons are all utilitarian people, and they will definitely find a way to punish Deng Ai! ”

"Isn't there a plan for the enemy?" Huang Xu heard something from his words, so he asked.

"Not bad! I suggest that now we should do our best to prepare the soldiers and horses of Chang'an, go out of the Xiegu Pass, take the road to the Kei Valley, and approach Hanzhong. Jiang Wei said decisively.

Jiang Wei is going to take the ramp and approach Hanzhong City.

Praise slope road, one of the six roads into the river. It is also known as Shiniu Road and Jinniu Road, which crosses the mountain road of the Qinling Mountains. From the mouth of the valley in the north, go up along the two rivers of Baoxie, run through the two valleys of Baoxie and get the name, and reach the mouth of Baogu in the south, it is one of the main roads of Qinchuan and Bashu, the road is flat, and the march is accessible.

The slope is the earliest, largest and longest in history. The plank road was built in the Warring States Fan Li Xiang Qin period. In the eleventh year of King Qin Huiwen, Qin sent Zhang Yi and Sima to attack Shu, and the army passed through this road. Therefore, the original valley road was dug into a plank road that could pass through a large group of soldiers and horses and baggage.

Since then, the plank road has always been a necessary way for soldiers to compete and economic and cultural exchanges.

There is a record in the historical records: the plank road is thousands of miles, and everything is all-encompassing, and only the oblique hub is praised.

At that time, it was already a business and travel connection, faintly exhibited, the crown and belt were staggered, and the rich material resources of Xichuan were continuously transported to Guanzhong, and the developed cultural exchanges in the Sanfu area spread to Xichuan, and developed the economic and trade and cultural exchanges between the north and the south.

Bao Shute Road is a valley road formed by the two river valleys of the Weishui tributary Xishui and the Baohe River, a tributary of the Han River, and is a typical road route along the river. The mouth of the valley is in the south of Meixian County, and the mouth of the valley is in the north of Baocheng in Hanzhong, so it is also called the valley road.

Baogu and Xiegu are both based on Wulipo in Taibai County as their birthplace. Baogu first from Wulipo to the west, to the south of Zuitou Town, Taibai County, through Baiyun, Wangjiayuan to Liuba County, and through the pear garden, Madao, Qingqiao post to Hanzhong City, and then to the south to Baoyi Pu, the general shop out of the valley mouth Dahedong store.

The upper reaches of the Bao River are called the Hongya River, to the mouth of the river is changed to the Taibai River, to the Liuchuan River is also called the Xianan River, to the Wuguanyi is also called the Beizhan River, and to the horse road below is called the Bao River.

The inclined valley first goes east from Wulipo, to the north of Lao Yeling in the east of Taochuan, passes through the parrot pigeon, and reaches the exit of Xieyuguan.

The two valleys pass through the ten thousand mountains, the business travelers follow the valley, and there is no great hardship of climbing, from the slope valley to the source of the five-mile slope, only a relatively gentle slope, just enter the upper source of the Bao River. Go south along the Baohe River Valley, pass through Taibai County and Liuba County, and arrive at Hanzhong without turning over the mountain.

Now there are only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, and counting the 20,000 brought out by Deng Ai, it is only 30,000!

Jiang Wei wanted to take this opportunity to capture Hanzhong in one fell swoop and seize the road to Sichuan.

Otherwise, when the barbarian army arrives here, once the mountain battle begins, the soldiers under his command will inevitably be at a disadvantage!

Those brutes are used to the mountains!

Therefore, Jiang Wei can't wait to go on the expedition.

After listening to what Jiang Wei said, Huang Xu said: "Since this is the case, the military advisor will arrange it!" ”

Seeing that Huang Xu handed over power to himself, Jiang Wei was not polite, and immediately said: "Please send the three armies immediately, cook early, and set off in the afternoon!" ”

"Good!" Huang Xu immediately arranged for the three armies to have a meal and prepare to go on the expedition.

In the afternoon, Huang Xu boarded the platform and sent the generals to the battle.

Jiang Wei, the general of the military division, led 10,000 troops and horses as the front.

Zong Cheng, the general of the wolf's teeth, led 3,000 soldiers and horses to escort grain and grass for the rear.

He and the generals did their best to raise the Chang'an army and sent troops to the valley pass.

After arriving at the valley, Jiang Wei learned that Zhang Hu had repelled Deng Ai's vanguard soldiers and horses according to the plan, and captured more than 3,000 people.

After praising everyone a few words, Jiang Wei said to Zhang Hu and the others: "Deng Ai's soldiers and horses still have two hundred miles according to this, and there is a certain strategy, you are willing to help?" ”

"The general commands." Zhang Hu agreed.

"Which general is willing to lead troops to meet the enemy and meet Deng Ai's subordinates." Jiang Wei asked.

Hao Fang, the general of the cavalry, stepped forward and ordered: "The last general is willing to go." ”

Jiang Wei instructed: "A certain Xu Rutuntian soldiers of 5,000 people, chased and killed along the inclined water, saw Deng Ai's soldiers and horses fighting and retreating, and led them into the ambush circle." ”

"No!" Hao Fang took the order and left.

Jiang Wei then asked: "There is a place name parrot pigeon mouth thirty miles away, and the terrain is steep. There are 3,000 ambush soldiers, I don't know which general is willing to lead the troops there? ”

Zhang Cunyan said: "The last general is willing to go." ”

"You lead a thousand elite crossbowmen and two thousand sword and shield soldiers, hurry to the mouth of the parrot pigeon, prepare the boulder rolling wood there, let Guo Hao release the soldiers and horses, wait for the enemy to enter the ambush circle, cut off the enemy with the boulder rolling log, and then order the crossbowmen to shoot the ambushed enemy!"

"No!" Zhang Cun led the plan and left.

The two left one after another, and Jiang Wei said to the generals again: "You guys pack up immediately, and I will wait for the soldiers and horses to come out later, and there will be no return for Deng Ai today!" ”

"No!" The generals responded in unison.

Let's talk about Deng Ai.

When the soldiers and horses marched to the pear orchard in Liuba County, he saw that the direction of Wangjiayuan was dusty and noisy.

Looking closely, he noticed a troop of soldiers and horses rushing in the dust.

Without waiting for someone to be inquired, the army came near.

The leader dismounted, ran to his horse, fell to his knees with a "poof", and shouted: "Governor, the end will be guilty!" ”

He fixed his eyes and saw that it was his pioneer officer Meng Jian.

Looking up again, he saw that there were definitely more than 3,000 soldiers and horses behind Meng Jian, and seeing that everyone's armor was crooked, he couldn't help but wonder a little in his heart, so he asked, "What happened to Meng Xianxian?" ”

Meng Jian replied: "The last general was halfway through the march and met General Xiahou Xian. He led thousands of remnants of the army, and he wanted to return to the building, but when he saw that we wanted to take the valley, he had to go with him. He relied on the strength of the soldiers under his command and strengthened the power of the last general. Under its coercion, the last general had to press the rear formation. Who knows, he was so happy with his achievements, rashly entered the army, and mistakenly fell into Zhang Hu's conspiracy. The last general fought desperately to lead these soldiers to escape from the encirclement! ”

"Even? There is such a thing! Deng Ai was skeptical, and thought that the two armies were fighting, and it was a plan to employ people, so he said, "In this case, this battle is not your sin!" Return to the team! ”

Seeing that Deng Ai was not to blame, Meng Jian hurriedly thanked him, then got up, sorted out his armor, and returned to the team.

After a little tidying up those soldiers, Deng Ai made Hu Zhao and Hu Yu father and son lead 5,000 soldiers and horses as the front, and led the army as the central army, and Sima Wang and Sima Huang brothers led 2,000 soldiers and horses to escort the rear to carry heavy grain and grass.

The army set off again.

On the way, Deng Ai asked Meng Jian: "Did Zhang Hu send troops to pursue you and others?" ”

"Nope! The last general was defeated and fled, with only more than 1,000 soldiers around him. After closing on the way, the last general gathered more than 4,000 soldiers! If Zhang Hu sent troops to chase and kill, how could the last general do this? Meng Jian replied.

"Do you remember the battle that day?" Deng Ai asked again.

Meng Jian then recounted the situation at that time.

After hearing this, Deng Ai couldn't help but sigh and said, "It seems that this Zhang Hu is extraordinary!" Your defeat is understandable. In the past, a certain had several relationships with his father Zhang Liao, and this son had the style of his father! ”

After speaking, the horse moved forward and said no more.

The soldiers and horses entered the boundary of Zuitou Town, Taibai County.

Suddenly, a soldier rushed to the front to report: "Report! General Qiyu, the enemy soldiers and horses have been found in front! ”

"How many people? Who commands the army? Deng Ai asked.

"Commanded by Hao Fang, the general of the Han Dynasty, there are about 5,000 people!"

"Five thousand? It seems that it is either to search for you and others, or to send vanguard soldiers and horses sent by Zhang Hu! Deng Ai smiled at Meng Jian, and then ordered the soldiers to report the news, "Inform General Hu to meet the enemy!" ”

"No!" The soldier took the order and left.

Let's say that Hu summoned a sentry horse in front of him to block the way, and came to the front of the formation with a knife and a horse, and asked loudly: "Who is on the other side, blocking a certain way!" ”

Seeing that the enemy army was in formation, Hao Fang smiled, rode to the front of the formation, and replied: "Hao Fang, the general of the Han Dynasty, is also." On the orders of the Son of Heaven, come to crusade against the rebellious ministers! Thou shalt not dismount and surrender quickly! ”

"Don't be ashamed! Look at the head of so-and-so! Hu Zhao shouted and swung his knife to kill him.

Hao Fang sneered, swung his knife to meet him, and fought with him.

Hu Yu in front of that battle was worried that his father would lose, so he also killed him with a sword.

Hao Fang secretly applauded in his heart, and shouted in his mouth: "Cao Jun is shameless, he bullies the few, and if he is not invincible, he will withdraw!" After finishing his words, he made a false move, turned his horse and fled.

The father and son of the Hu family were willing to let go and chased after them closely.

Seeing the two chasing after him, Hao Fang quickly hung the knife on the victory hook, took off the iron bow, and shot the arrow.

"Oops!" sounded, but saw that Hu Yu couldn't dodge, and was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, so he didn't fall off the horse.

Seeing that his son was injured, Hu Zhao's eyes were red, he raised his knife and shouted: "Sons, kill me!" ”

Five thousand soldiers screamed and rushed forward.

When the Han army saw Hao Fang's defeat, they had already begun to flee for their lives.

In this way, you chased after me, like a see-saw, and Hao Fang brought them into the mouth of the parrot pigeon.

The Hu father and son in front of them have already penetrated into the mouth of the parrot pigeon.

Deng Ai was afraid that they would lose, so he led the army into a hurry.

Just when the army almost entered the mouth of the parrot pigeon, suddenly, "all the ......" three cannon sounds, and countless boulders and crossbeams rolled off the mouth of the parrot pigeon, blocking the entrance tightly.

Deng Ai was speechless when he heard this, and shouted: "Oops! It's not good, it's a trick! ”

Okay! As soon as these words came out, the soldiers were all panicked!

At this moment, thousands of feathered arrows in the air came like locusts flying locusts.

Deng Ai and the others hurriedly raised their blades to block.

But those soldiers were suffering, and in an instant, I don't know how many people were hit by arrows!

Immediately afterwards, there were bursts of shouting and killing sounds from the direction of Xiegu Pass!

The front soldiers and horses seem to have engaged the enemy.

Deng Ai shouted loudly, commanding the soldiers to form a formation to resist the rain of arrows, and asked the deputy generals Wen Sheng and Meng Jian to go to the mouth of the parrot to find a way to move the boulder.

was blindly beaten, and the soldiers under Deng Ai suffered many casualties!

Soon, Hu Zhao retreated with the defeated soldiers.

"General, the enemy is coming fiercely. The last general can't resist it, and my son is already dead! As he spoke, Hu Zhao burst into tears. Losing a child in old age, is it not painful?

Deng Ai comforted Hu Zhao a few words, and then personally led his troops forward to resist the Han army.

Unexpectedly met Jiang Wei, Deng Ai pointed at the gun and said, "Boyo, don't come unharmed?" ”

"Shizai, don't say goodbye to the years, I don't want you and me to meet each other like this! But you speak a lot more clearly! Jiang Wei said with a smile, "But I don't know, why did this prince get out?" ”

was said to stutter, Deng Ai made trouble, but he was very helpless.

But when Jiang Wei said it, he didn't feel annoyed: "Your plan really caused me a lot of losses!" However, some free escape! ”
