In this campaign, Wen Yuan withdrew the four divisions of Qianzhao, Zhang Nan, Jiao Touch, and Su You to accompany him, that is, the four sergeants of the Battle of Montenegro a year ago did not participate.

The four sergeants, adding up to a total of 7,000 people, together with Wen Yuan's 3,000 new troops, 1,000 light cavalry, and 300 Xuanyingwei, a total of 11,300 people, Zhang Nan, Jiao Touch, and Su You each had 2,000 soldiers, and because of the new commander, Wen Yuan only allocated him 1,000 veterans.

Among the 11,000 people, veterans account for about half, and the other half are auxiliary soldiers who have just been transferred from all over the country, and these auxiliary soldiers are busy farming and practicing in their spare time, although they are not as elite as veterans, but they have two or three months of training every year, so that they can quickly integrate into the ranks.

Before the expedition, first slaughtered pigs and sheep, put down the wine and incense case to sue the heavens and the earth, and then sacrificed the flag with blood, and after these ceremonies, Wen Yuan walked to the front desk, raised his right hand high, the rumbling drum suddenly stopped, the school field was silent, and the needle drop could be heard.

"Brethren!" Wen Yuan first asked in a deep voice: "Can any of you tell me, who are you?" ”

The soldiers on and off the stage couldn't help but be stunned, today's lord asked such a simple and profound question at the beginning? A lot of recruits, I can't help you look at me, I'll look at you!

"Hugh has to talk to each other!" opened his jaw and shouted, the military judge's expression was indifferent, and he stepped forward to split his head and cover his face with a burst of military sticks!

Wen Yuan's face did not change, and he continued: "Since no one said it, then let me tell you!" We are Han Chinese! It is the descendants of the Han Dynasty who have been inherited by me for thousands of years! ”

The expressions of the soldiers were suddenly solemn, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty has continuously won victories in the wars against foreign races, as a Han people, this strong national pride has been deeply integrated into the blood of the Han people.

Wen Yuan said again: "Then let me ask you again, who are we going to crusade against this expedition?" ”

Many soldiers suddenly showed a strong battle intent in their eyes, and shouted loudly: "Huns! ”

Wen Yuan nodded with satisfaction, raised his hand to stop the shouting of the sergeants in the audience, and said: "Very good, since you know, there must be no need for me to bother to boost morale, but I still have to say one more thing, the Huns have been at war with my Han for more than 400 years, and thousands of my Han compatriots have died tragically at the hands of the Huns, and there is a deep hatred in the sea of blood!" Keep it in your hearts! ”

The anger of the soldiers has been stirred up by Wen Yuan's two understatements, and they all raised their arms and shouted, "Kill all the Huns!" Kill all the Huns! ”

Wen Yuan and the other voices in the school field gradually fell silent, and they stopped talking nonsense, waved their big hands and pointed to the west, shouting: "Very good!" The army is out! ”

The horses marched out of the camp in a procession and slowly marched westward.

The Yu Fu Luo Department of this expedition is now stationed in Gaodu, Hunshi, Yang'a County, because Taihang Mountain will be Hebei and two states to attack, if you want to attack, there are only three roads, the first is to go west, often mountain, cross the Great Wall, enter Jinyang, and then go south, the journey is nearly thousands of miles.

Not to mention that the road is too far, the terrain is steep, and the march is difficult, although Sun Jin has revealed his deference to himself before, but along the way, he has to pass through the territory of Changshan Zhang Yan and Bingzhou Assassin Shi and Duliao General Geng Zhi, these two are not easy.

Geng Zhi is the new feudal official of Dong Zhuo after the death of Ding Yuan, the assassin of Bingzhou, and is absolutely loyal to Dong Zhuo, and now he controls most of the area of Bingzhou, with more than 20,000 soldiers.

Wen Yuan belonged to the Kwantung camp of Dong Dong, and if he traveled a long distance from his jurisdiction to transfer supplies, he would definitely be blocked by his struggle, which was tantamount to falling into his own death!

As for Zhang Yan, needless to say, this force is entrenched in the Taihang Mountains, with millions of people under its jurisdiction and more than 100,000 troops, and the two states of Hebei are all within his scope of activity, not to mention that the counties of Changshan and Zhongshan have a faint tendency to fall to the giant deer recently, I am afraid that Zhang Yan will not be very polite to Wenyuan.

Therefore, if the army passes through this place, there will be no place to die!

The second road is Wen Cong along the Taihang Mountain south, through Zhao County, into Hanoi, detour to the south of Shangdang to attack Gaodu, Hyunshi, Yang'a three places, originally this road is the most flat, extremely suitable for marching, there is no detour can directly attack the Yufu Luo army stationed in the three places.

But on the way forward, it is inevitable to pass through the territory of Yuan Shao and Yu Poison and other black mountain thieves, not to mention whether Yuan Shao will do it, just say that at this time, Yu Poison and they are looting all over Wei County and Dong County, if they hear that a large number of officers and soldiers are passing by in their hometown, they will inevitably lead troops back to rescue, and then they will not fight with Wen Yuan, let the army pass, and as long as the grain road is cut off, Wen Yuan will always have the ability to reach the sky and cannot save the defeat!

Neither of these roads could be chosen, and Wen Yuan could only retreat and choose the safest but probably the worst route to march.

Pass through Zhao County, break the Huguan, and attack directly at Yufuluo after crossing Taihang Mountain!

The reason why it is said to be the most secure, because Zhao County borders on Julu, from Julu to Huguan, it is only more than 300 miles before and after, and it is convenient to replenish grain and grass, and it is not easy to be intercepted. (No way, it's too difficult, there are too many forces around us.) ）

As long as the Huguan is broken, Wenyuan will use this as a breakthrough to enter the territory of Bingzhou, take Huguan as a stronghold, go south to crusade against Yufuluo, and go north to attack the pro-Dong Zhuo Geng Zhi army, and at that time, Wenyuan can completely grasp the opportunity on the battlefield.

However, although there are not many difficulties on this road, the only difficulty is likely to be fatal!

That's the kettle off! One of the world's most famous Xiongguan since ancient times!

Huguan, the first year of Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty (206 years ago), the beginning of Huguan County, belongs to Shangdang County, there is Baigu Mountain (now known as Laoding Mountain) in the north, there are Shuanglong Mountain in the south, the two mountains are sandwiched, the middle is empty, the mountain is shaped like a pot, and the mouth of the pot is passed, and the name Huguan, Cao Cao went north to Taihang from then on during the Three Kingdoms period, leaving the eternal sorrow of "the sheep intestine plate is bent, and the wheel destroys the ...... for it", from which it can be known that the precipitousness of Huguan is one of the main roads that cross the Taihang Mountain.

According to the previous careful exploration, there are 1,000 Geng Zhi guards here, although there are few people, but the hand is a husband as a pass, and the world is a Xiongguan that cannot be opened, although Wen Yuan is several times the guard, he is also uncertain about whether he can break the pot pass.

So along the way, Wen Yuan didn't listen to Guo Jia and Tian Feng to ask for advice.

However, I haven't seen it on the spot, and the two military advisors have nothing to do, and Wen Yuan can only be patient and lead the army to Huguan.

The soldiers marched for several days, the terrain gradually became steep, the road was also rugged and difficult to walk, Rao is the giant deer army is long in the march, one day down, but only able to walk twenty miles, so deep into the Taihang Mountains after dozens of miles, finally on the third day of the army, the army caught up with the front army that built a bridge all the way to open the road.
