It's a step too late!

This was the first reflex in Zhong Xuan's heart after seeing the urgent letter sent to him by Sima Yi quickly. www.biquge.info Just now, a reinforcement of 5,000 people led by Xia Houlan sent back to tell him that Pujin Pass and Tongguan had all been occupied by Liu Beijun, and his number was too small to recover the pass for the time being, so he had to send someone back to report to him first. At the same time, the emergency document sent to him by Sima Yi also arrived.

"Lord, lord, you probably didn't expect that Zhao Botao's soldiers came out of the Meridian Valley not for Chang'an, but for Pujin Pass and Tongguan!" Zhong Xuan sighed, if Zhao Feng really came to Chang'an, Zhong Xuan was not afraid, there were still four thousand defenders in the city, plus some private soldiers from the major wealthy families, and three or four thousand people could be gathered. With Chang'an Jiancheng, if these soldiers defend the city, if there is no internal response, Zhao Feng's ten thousand people can only look at the city and sigh. But he didn't expect Zhao Fengbing to come out of the Meridian Valley, he just made a big detour, ignored this ancient Han Dynasty, and then went directly to Tongguan and Pujin Pass.

Zhong Xuan thought about it left and right, and felt that with the strength he had on hand now, it was indeed a little difficult to send troops to rescue Pujin Pass or Tongguan, so he could only send troops to inform Sima Yi first, and then stick to Chang'an himself, and allocate grain and grass to supply Du Raid in Sanguan. Over there, Ma Chao also attacked quite hard.

And at this moment, before the Qingni Pass, Zhu Ran, Zhang Ren and Hao Zhao looked at the ruins of the camp that was still smoking, and they were also in a good mood. "General Zhu, if it weren't for your fire, I would have wanted to capture this green mud pass today, but I'm afraid it would be a little difficult!" Looking at the Guanzhong military camp that had been burned to a white ground, Hao Zhao smiled. It turned out that Zhu Ran was ordered to come to Zhang Ren and Hao Zhao to seize the Qingni Pass, and when he arrived, he found that the Qingni Pass was called the Pass, which was actually a camp set up in a dangerous place. Zhang Ren and Hao Zhao attacked from the bottom to the top, which was very inconvenient. But Zhu Ran came from the west, but he didn't have this problem. As soon as Zhu Ran saw that the enemy army was a camp, he ordered someone surnamed Suo to condescendingly throw something that ignited the fire, igniting the enemy's village, so that the Guanzhong army was in chaos, Zhang Ren and Hao Zhao took the opportunity to rush and kill, killing the enemy army and crushing the army.

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, if it weren't for the two of you to contain the enemy, how could I be so ghostly behind it!" Zhu Ran was more modest, and the three of them exchanged a few words of compliment, and Hao Zhao also asked, "General Zhang, I don't know what the next plan is?" ”

"General Zhao said that the next plan is to take advantage of the weakness of the troops in Guanzhong, and my 40,000 horses and horses will capture Chencang City and Xiegu Pass respectively. After taking these two passes, Sima Yi's army was completely trapped in Hanzhong! Zhang Ren explained. This move is not poisonous, and at present, Sima Yi in Hanzhong still has an army of seventy or eighty thousand, which is almost half of his net worth. If he is trapped and dies in Hanzhong, then Sima Yi will be under the attack of Xichuan and Guanzhong in the future, and it will be a matter of time before he is destroyed.

"This plan is very good, these places are now empty of garrisons, so let's do it, I am willing to lead an army of 10,000 to capture Chen Cangcheng and cut off Sima Yi's retreat!" Zhu Ran asked for advice first.

"I am willing to lead the army to take the Xiegu Pass, only five thousand military horses are needed!" Hao Zhao was not to be outdone, and followed closely behind. Zhang Ren looked at the two of them, but finally smiled dumbly and said: "Why are you so anxious, even if you want to go to these two places, you have to wait for us to get out of this martial arts road, and then divide our troops!" ”

"Hahahaha!" Zhu Ran and Hao Zhao couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, and they were a little amused at their eagerness. It's no wonder that they are not in a hurry, winning Guanzhong so quickly is definitely a great achievement, and no one will not be excited. Now that the whole plan is more than halfway implemented, it depends on whether the last few steps can be successful. At that moment, the three of them did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly led the army to various passes without mentioning it.

At this time, in Jinniu Road, Sima Yi looked at Lu Xun, who had already withdrawn, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then ordered the army to march out and return to Guanzhong quickly. At the same time, Guo Huai also sent someone to report, saying that Yan Yan Lao'er suddenly withdrew to the three eastern counties overnight, Guo Huai felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly sent someone to inform Sima Yi, and at the same time he led the army north to take the Xiegu Road to rescue Guanzhong.

"Boji is doing things properly, if not, Guanzhong will be closed!" Sima Yi said with some rejoicing. However, he didn't expect that the situation in Guanzhong would be so complicated now. Seeing that Guo Huai had already led the army back to Guanzhong, Sima Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, ordered the whole army to pull out, and slowly withdrew from Chencang Road to Guanzhong.

These valley roads from Hanzhong to Guanzhong, although the slope valley road is a little steep, but the road is closer; Chencang Road is slightly more convenient, but it is a bit of a detour. For the sake of safety, Sima Yi decided to take Chencang Road in order to take care of the dispersal of the pass. What he didn't expect was that it was this thought that ruined his last hope of saving the situation in Guanzhong.

When Sima Yi withdrew his troops, it was when Zhang Ren, Hao Zhao and others went out of Wuguan Road and entered Lantian County. Just when they were about to divide their troops, they suddenly received an urgent military information from Wang Ping of Tongguan, claiming that Cao Ying led the army to attack Guanzhong on a large scale, and the defenders of Pubanjin and Tongguan were insufficient, so they should send reinforcements to support as soon as possible. When Zhang Ren and others heard the news, this surprise was not trivial.

"I really didn't expect Cao Ying to intervene at this time, how can this be good!" Zhu Ran was already a little panicked when he heard this, and Hao Zhao's expression was also a little pale. After all, Zhang Ren is the first general in Xichuan, and he is still relatively calm at this time. After bowing his head and thinking for a long time, Zhang Ren raised his head and said: "Cao Ying will lead the army to attack must be violent, if he is allowed to attack Guanzhong, everything will be over!" At this time, Sima Yi's army was stranded in Hanzhong, and if it was allowed to return to Guanzhong, the strength of the army would inevitably be reversed. I'll wait for some ingenuity, and a month's hard work will be in vain! ”

"What is General Zhang's plan?" Hearing Zhang Ren say this, Hao Zhao just gave up, after all, Zhu Ran and him have known each other for a while, and knowing that he is talking like this, he must have a plan. Zhang Ren nodded, and then arranged in detail: "The purpose of my plan is to capture Guanzhong. Once Guanzhong falls into our hands, it is said that after Xichuan and Guanzhong attack Hanzhong, the fall of Sima Yi is inevitable. Therefore, Sima Yi and Cao Ying must be stopped no matter what. Tongguan is a dangerous pass, and a husband should be closed. The prince is good at defending the city, and the defenders of Tongguan have 5,000, and I will allocate 5,000 troops here to help in the war, and I will be able to defend it. ”

"Good!" Zhu Ran and Hao Zhao nodded and promised, at this time, someone needs to come out to make an idea, Zhang Ren arranged it like this, and everyone had a lot in their hearts.

Zhang Ren continued: "As for Sima Yi's army stranded in Hanzhong, the fierce battle in Longxi is in full swing right now, and if he wants to return to Guanzhong, he must take Xiegu Road or Chencang Road. I led an army of 10,000 to take Chen Cang, and you led an army of 8,000 to take Xiegu Pass, and the rest of the military horses were transferred to help General Zhao hold Pujin Pass, what do you think? ”

"The general's arrangement is very good, and now that Cao Ying has sent troops, he needs to inform the lord as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be very disadvantageous for us to wait for tens of thousands of horses and horses to start a war at the same time with Cao Ying and Sima Yi! Zhu Ran finally put forward some opinions, Zhang Ren had no choice, and hurriedly took out the carrier pigeon with the army to report to Liu Bei, asking him to transfer troops from Wuguan Road as soon as possible, and then help fight everywhere. As for the more than 40,000 people on his hand, according to the arrangement just now, Zhang Ren led his army to take the farthest Chencang, Zhu Ran went to take Xiegu Pass, and Hao Zhao personally led the rest of the people to support Tongguan and Pujin Pass at the same time.

And when Pujin was closed, Zhao Feng looked at the Yellow River in the east, and he was secretly happy in his heart. Just now, the soldier told him that the Yellow River has been frozen for dozens of days this winter, and if Cao Ying comes in winter, no matter how hard he tries, he will not be able to stop him from crossing the Yellow River. At that time, he was surrounded by 100,000 Cao troops in Pujin Pass, and as long as one person farted, he could smoke his 5,000 people to death.

Putting aside this somewhat spoofed idea in his mind, Zhao Feng also settled his mind and prepared to guard Pujin Pass. According to the latest Tanmalai newspaper, Cao Ying has captured most of Hedong County and is advancing rapidly here. Sima Yi's defenders in Hedong County were almost vulnerable, and they couldn't slow Cao Ying's pace much.

"Grandma's, I actually hope that Sima Yi's defenders will be stronger, isn't this too spoofed!" Zhao Feng smiled helplessly. Now this battle is also the most difficult moment in his life. Now the 5,000 people under his command are almost all Danyang elite soldiers. In history, Li Ling once used 5,000 Danyang elite soldiers to shake 100,000 Hun cavalry. Now that he is fighting to the death, it can be regarded as repeating the story of his ancestors. Besides, now that he can hold on to the pass, it is still much stronger than Li Ling's field battle.

"General, just now Captain Niu came to report that he has collected all the ships within twenty miles of the two sides of the strait. In addition, the ferry port has also burned down. Just when Zhao Feng was thinking about it, Zhang Wei rushed to report. Zhao Feng woke up in shock when he heard this, and immediately asked, "How long will Cao Ying arrive?" ”

"According to the report of the detective, Cao Ying had already arrived in Anyi last night. Tomorrow it will be an early march in the morning, and tomorrow it will be in the afternoon to the east of the river! Zhang Wei was not optimistic. Zhao Feng nodded, and then asked, "How are you doing what I want you to do?" ”

"It's all done, General, can this thing be useful?" Zhang Wei asked with some hesitation. At the moment of life and death, although Zhao Feng was still so calm and relaxed, he couldn't help but look a little worried.

"It's naturally useful, at least it can stop Cao for a while!" Zhao Feng said lightly. In this extraordinary period, he was always calm in front of the soldiers. Only when he is alone, there will be a trace of confusion or confusion on his face.

Compared with Zhao Feng's confusion and confusion, at this time east of the Yellow River, Prime Minister Cao Cheng was quite high-spirited, after the 80,000 army entered Hedong County, Cao Cheng showed no mercy to those who had betrayed him. After each city was destroyed, all men over the age of thirteen were slaughtered, under the age of thirteen were used as servitude, and all women were used as official slaves. The county orders of all counties were all executed by Ling Chi.

On this day, Anyi County was finally captured, and as long as the Yellow River was crossed tomorrow, it would be possible to attack Pujin Pass and enter the pass. Cao Ying knew that now that Sima Yi's main forces were attracted to Guanzhong, it might be a little difficult for Xu Huang to attack Tongguan, and it should not be a big problem for him to take Pujin Pass.

So in the city of Anyi, Cao Jun is a scene of singing and dancing, the soldiers who have just been rewarded are full of wine and food, and Cao Ying himself after a full meal, he is even more happy with a concubine who has just been captured by the Anyi County Order.

likes to play with other people's wives, this is a semi-open secret of Cao Ying within his group. However, just as he felt very comfortable, a sound of untimely footsteps sounded outside the tent. Through the curtain, Cao Ying heard Cheng Yu's voice.

"Zhongde, what's the matter?" Cao Ying asked, while continuing to fight, the bewitching woman under him was even more defeated by the mighty prime minister, and could only beg for mercy.

"Lord, I just visited the Malay newspaper, Pujin was closed, and I actually changed to Liu Beijun's banner! Looking across the river, it was Zhao Botao! Even through the curtain, Cao Ying could hear the surprise in Cheng Yu's words.

"Zhao Botao?" Cao Ying was also surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help but stop moving, and then a spirit shot out.
