Chapter 82 The Changing Tide Each has his own thoughts

readx;

"Ahh A scream interrupted Zhao Feng's thoughts, and when he looked up, there was a person in front of him who had fallen into the deep valley. The screams of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info came from the bottom of the valley, and the end was extremely miserable, and people's scalps were numb when they heard it. Finally, with a dull "bang", everything came to naught.

Zhao Feng closed his eyes and mourned for this person for a moment, and then he still cheered up and commanded the army to move forward. When I walked the Yinpingguan plank road, this scene was already taken for granted. Now that I meet it again, I won't complain and sigh. After all, the Meridian Valley Road is still much safer than the Yinpingguan Plank Road.

Historically, Wei Yan proposed to take the Meridian Valley Road, intending to lead 10,000 people out of the valley and immediately attack Chang'an. Once he succeeds, Longyou will inevitably be shocked, so that after Zhuge Liang's troops leave Qishan, he can quickly pacify Longyou. From this point of view, the plan basically serves as a deterrent. Although the idea is very good, but with 10,000 people to sneak attack Chang'an Jiancheng, and hold it under the opponent's internal and external attacks, until Zhuge Liang comes to meet him, the chance of success is really slim. It is likely that Cao Jun didn't like him at all, and directly transferred troops from the Central Plains, and trapped these 10,000 people in Chang'an City.

Moreover, even if it is a surprise attack, the Meridian Valley Road is extremely difficult to walk, and it doesn't seem to be difficult to walk by yourself, but this is the Danyang elite soldiers and the Wuqian Flying Army, both of whom are elites who are accustomed to mountain roads, and they are also equipped with relatively complete climbing equipment. If it were replaced by ordinary soldiers, 10,000 people would come down, not to mention a thousand casualties. In this way, even if you enter the Guanzhong, it is extremely difficult to take Chang'an.

And the situation that Zhao Feng is facing now is much better than what Wei Yan is facing. First of all, Xiliang is still in the hands of his own people, even if Sima Yi wants to transfer troops to exterminate himself, unless he is ambushed at the valley mouth, otherwise the military horses that can be mobilized are quite limited, and he will not be afraid of him. In addition, the former of the Central Plains and Hebei is also in the hands of their own people, although the latter is in the hands of Lao Cao, but Lao Cao obviously does not listen to Sima Yi's transfer, so that the enemy in front of him is almost just an empty Guanzhong. In a word, the pressure he faced this time was much smaller than Wei Yan in history.

Of course, Rao is like this, and it is not easy to walk the Meridian Valley Road. In the four days that Zhao Feng has entered the valley, dozens of people have fallen off the cliff. Although the valley path is much stronger than the rotten boardwalks, the mossy stone trail is also more slippery than the boardwalk. Once one foot is unstable, it is basically a death. And all the Xiliang horses can only be blindfolded, and then carry heavy bags of dry food on their backs for the needs of the army. Just four or five days down, it was relatively smooth.

"General, it looks like it's going to rain this day!" It was Zhang Wei who had just looked up at the sky who spoke, Zhao Feng looked at it himself, and from the gap between the two mountains, it seemed that the blue line was really a lot darker. If it rains heavily, then he will have to suspend the march.

"Leave him alone, let's go first!" When Zhao Feng arrived at this point, he could only resign himself to fate, and ordered to continue to maintain the speed of the march. 10,000 people formed a long line in the Meridian Valley mountain road, and then slowly walked forward. If it goes well, it won't take a few days for them to shock the world.

Just when Zhao Feng led his more than 10,000 people to move forward in the Meridian Valley Mountain Road, Sima Yi, who was in Hanzhong, received the news of the fall of Wudu and Yinping and Tianshui. Han De was beheaded by Pang De, Meng Jian was captured, and Ma Chao and Tian Fengzheng waved their own troops to attack Sanguan.

"I didn't expect this horse to be so good, Meng Gongwei and 30,000 soldiers couldn't hold Longxi, but they really underestimated him." Sima Yi was already shocked into a cold sweat when he heard the news. If you think about it carefully, these places are easy to attack and difficult to defend, especially since Xiliang comes to attack, it is even more difficult to stop, and now if you lose it, you will lose it, it's no big deal. At present, there is a general Du Raid guarding the pass, which can be safe. I have been confronting Lu Xun here for more than 20 days, and I wanted to wait for him to run out of food and retreat, but now it seems that it is best to solve Lu Xun as soon as possible.

Picking up the latest military report sent by Tanma on the table, Sima Yi looked at it a few more times, and suddenly frowned unexpectedly. This military report said that the front army of Yan Yan and others was already more than 70 miles away from Chenggu two days ago. Sima Yi put down this military report and picked up the several military reports sent before, Sima Yi's brows furrowed even tighter. I didn't talk about anything else before, that is, how Yan Yan entered. Sima Yisuo picked up several recent military reports and looked at them, and finally came to a conclusion: Yan Yan was probably crawling all the way to Chenggu, because his marching speed was too slow, which was a little wrong. No matter how cautious Yan Yan is, he won't march so slowly. If it continues to be so slow, then before he attacks Chenggu, the military rations should be consumed.

Looking at the intelligence again, Sima Yi found that something was wrong, this army that invaded Hanzhong from the three eastern counties, the generals of the former army were the veteran Yan Yan and the general Wu Ban, Zhao Feng himself was in charge of the Chinese army, but Zhang Ren was in the rear army. The two strongest generals in Xichuan shrank in the rear, but pushed the veteran Yan Yan up to fight the vanguard, this battle was simply a spoof, and Sima Yi felt more and more wrong.

Carefully looked at the map and looked at it, and when he saw the Meridian Valley, Sima Yi also shuddered suddenly. "Could it be that Zhao Botao wants to take the Meridian Valley Road and march into Guanzhong?" Sima Yi muttered, and then ordered someone to find the Tanma who had just returned, and asked him what Zhao Feng was doing recently.

"Zhao Botao had already arrived in Shenling five days ago, but now he doesn't know where he is!" Tanma whispered. Sima Yi also knew that it was indeed difficult for some strongmen to know where Zhao Feng was now through Tanma. In addition, I am just speculating, and everything cannot be counted yet.

After settling down, Sima Yi personally wrote a letter and asked people to send it to Chang'an Zhong Xuan quickly, hoping to make preparations in time. But Sima Yi also knew in his heart that if Zhao Feng's soldiers really came out of the Meridian Valley, then it would be a little too late to inform Zhong Xuan now. His own carrier pigeons have not yet been trained and matured, at least not yet in Hanzhong.

After thinking about it, it is better to only repel Lu Xun first. Zhao Feng's troops sent to the Meridian Valley, where the roads were rugged, and the number of people who raided was bound to be limited. As long as you repel Lu Xun by yourself, and then lead the army back to Guanzhong, you can calmly wipe him out in one fell swoop. Thinking of this, Sima Yi also made up his mind, not waiting for him to run out of food and grass, or to repel Lu Xun first.

"Wang Shuang, you go to Lu Xun Village to call for battle!" Sima Yi still sent his most courageous general. Zhao Feng and Zhang Ren are not here, so no one should be able to compete with him. After Wang Shuang received the order, he led an army of 3,000 to call for battle in front of Lu Xun Village, asking Lu Xun to come out and fight to the death.

"Oh, Sima Yi took the initiative to call the battle?" Lu Xun was quite surprised when he heard this, and then he thought about it and smiled: "It seems that he is also afraid that I will drag him here, because he wants to repel me as soon as possible, and then return to the army to save Guanzhong!" ”

"General, the last general is willing to go to war and kill this person!" It was Chen Shi who took the initiative to ask for help, and Zhang Yi was also eager to try. This time, several of them were left behind as a feint, and there was basically no possibility of making great contributions. Now when the other party takes the initiative to challenge, if you don't face it again, it will really make the daylily cold.

"No hurry, no hurry!" Lu Xun's smile was still as gentle as ever, and then he explained in detail: "As long as we are undefeated, Sima Yi will definitely not dare to act rashly, and he can also buy more time for the general." Therefore, it is now better to stick to the camp! ”

"But general, blindly avoiding war is only afraid of bad morale!" Chen Shi frowned, but he heard Lu Xun continue: "I don't have much food and grass to wait, and I will have to withdraw in a few days." Sima Yi was anxious about Guanzhong, so once we retreated, he would lead the army to rescue Guanzhong. I deliberately showed weakness this time and did not fight, and Sima Yi thought I was just bluffing. After he retreats, I will lead the army to chase and kill, Sima Yi must not be on guard! ”

"Makes sense!" Chen Shi and Lu Xun have known each other for a long time, and they have always admired him for his resourcefulness. When Zhang Yi heard this, he frowned and asked: "General, you show weakness like this, what if Sima Yi ignores us and divides his troops to save Guanzhong?" ”

"If he dares to divide his troops, I will dare to attack his Dazhai!" Although Lu Xun kept laughing, there was a hint of murder in his words. At present, the two sides are facing each other, although Lu Xun's number is slightly smaller, but the Jinniu Road is not a dangerous place, as long as Sima Yi divides his troops a little bit, Lu Xun dares to wave his army to attack his Dazhai directly; It's less, and it's useless. In this way, Sima Yi was basically kidnapped here by Lu Xun. As long as Lu Xun doesn't leave, Sima Yi can't go either. These two can be called the most tolerant people in the entire Three Kingdoms, the last time they pinched Sima Yi was a preemptive victory, this time Lu Xun did not seek merit but no fault, but also made Sima Yi lose strategically.

Whether it is Lu Xun, Sima Yi, or even Zhao Feng, the founder and implementer of the entire plan, they are all busy now. Intentionally or unintentionally, everyone ignored the other big guy.

"Oh, Zhao Botao marched into Hanzhong from the three eastern counties?" Looking at the latest military report that had just been sent by Tanma in his hand, Cao Ying was a little surprised. After Jia Xu, Cao Zhen, Cao Pi and others beside him circulated it, it was Jia Xu who opened his mouth and said: "Lord, right now, in order to recapture Hanzhong, Zhao Botao and Sima Yi meet with the sword soldiers, and even connect Xiliang Ma Chao to attack, Sima Yi will inevitably arrange heavy troops to defend Hanzhong, and Guanzhong will inevitably be empty, why not take the opportunity to knock Yongsi?" ”

"I also have this intention, but Sima Yi is scheming, and he will inevitably arrange soldiers and horses as a garrison in Guanzhong. Therefore, I intend to advance both virtual and real, and send a partial division to attack Tongguan, and I will lead a large army to attack Hedong County, and then cross the Yellow River from Pubanjin and enter Guanzhong! Cao Ying quickly clapped his hands and said.

"It's just that the lord, now the people's livelihood in Hebei is very withered, and it is still not appropriate to send too many soldiers and horses this time!" Dasi Nong Xun You poured a little cold water on the time, Cao Ying knew that what Xun You said was also the truth, and he groaned for a while, and finally said: "In this way, let Xu Gongming lead an army of 20,000 as a partial division, go out of Hongnong to attack Tongguan, and I will lead an army of 80,000 to march into Hedong County from Shangdang." Gongda, Hebei only dispatched 80,000 horses, grain and grass should be enough! ”

"80,000 horses doesn't hurt!" Xun You nodded, and then went to arrange the grain and grass without mentioning it. In this way, Cao Ying's sideways intervention made things complicated.
