Liu Fengjun, who gathered in the area of Ye County, had a total of about 70,000 people.

The previous logging and building houses in the Tongguan camp was just a suspicious tactic.

Instead of tents, wooden huts can show the enemy in the castle a sense of protracted fighting, and on the other hand, when night falls, wooden huts can effectively hide the situation inside.

Because, in the seemingly dense wooden house, in fact, it has long been empty.

Liu Feng's 70,000 people were actually mixed in with the people transporting grain, and they escaped Liu Bei's scouts and meticulous work, and returned to Nanyang with a swagger.

Now, Liu Feng followed the last batch of 5,000 grain transportation teams and successfully arrived in Yecheng, and all the troops had been assembled, so it was naturally the time for the strategy to be launched.

This is Jia Xu's real strategy, as Fa Zheng expected, it is indeed the sound of the east and the west, but it is not Hanzhong, but Wuguan.

In the evening of the same day, Liu Feng took the veteran Yan Yan and led an army of 20,000 as the vanguard, and his own 30,000 soldiers and horses as the Chinese army, and ordered Zhang Wei and Ma Zhong to lead 20,000 soldiers as the rear army.

After three days of rapid marching, Yan Yan's 20,000 vanguards, and the garrison Yu Danshui Wen Ping and his 20,000 Nanyang troops, according to Liu Feng's order, Yan Yan's troops only after half a day of rest, in the early morning of the next day, more than 50,000 people of the two armies, preemptively launched an attack on Wuguan.

Two days later, follow-up troops arrived one after another, with nearly 100,000 troops, launching an unprecedented onslaught on Wuguan with an overwhelming advantage.

Between Nanyang County and Guanzhong Jingzhaoyin, it is connected by a Danshui River that is hundreds of miles long, and there are mostly mountains and mountains on both sides of the river.

This Wuguan is located on the north bank of Danshui, Guancheng is built on a relatively flat plateau between the canyons, the north is dependent on the high Shaoxi Mountain, the south is dangerous, and the east and west open a door.

The terrain of this Guanxi is relatively flat, only out of the Guandong line, to a section of Nanyang County, stretching the mountainside and winding through, the cliff is high and the valley is deep, narrow and difficult to walk. This pass is with Hangu Pass, Xiao Pass and Dasan Pass, and is called the four stops of Qin.

Although Wuguan is dangerous, it is obviously not an order of magnitude compared with Tongguan.

The military commander of the front line of Wuguan is Li Yan, Liu Bei allocated nearly 10,000 troops to him, Li Yan is indeed a little capable, with 10,000 people before, he easily withstood the attack of 50,000 soldiers and horses.

It's just that Jia Xu's plan to attack the east and the west made Liu Bei misjudge Liu Feng's intentions, so not long ago, nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses were dispatched from Wuguan to the valleys of the Qinling Mountains.

This means that at present, the number of troops on the front line of Wuguan is only more than 5,000, while Liu Feng's offensive soldiers and horses are 100,000.

Twenty to one ratio, absolute advantage.

An army of 100,000, with 20,000 as a team, launched a fierce attack on Wuguan City day and night.

Liu Feng has already made up his mind, even if he costs human lives, he will exhaust the defenders of Wuguan.

The onslaught lasted less than two days, and Liu Feng paid the price of more than 10,000 people, while Li Yan's losses were only less than 2,000.

Although it was only two thousand, it was already very fatal for Li Yan, who was overstretched.

Li Yan, who was anxious, could only support himself hard while sending people to Tongguan to ask Liu Bei for help.

On the third day of the battle, Liu Fengjun suddenly stopped attacking.

Li Yan at the head of the city breathed a sigh of relief, in the past three days, he had almost only slept for less than three hours, and at this time, he, like all the soldiers, was extremely tired.

Just as Li Yan was about to take advantage of this opportunity to seize the precious time to take a rest, he saw a lone rider outside the pass.

The man, not wearing armor or carrying a weapon, rode his horse and stepped on the corpses all over the place, and after a few moments, he stood in front of the moat.

When Li Yan saw the person's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but feel a slight shock in his heart.

"Han Pingxi General Meng Da, I came to meet the old man."

In front of Zhuma Pass, the person who spoke loudly was Meng Da.

In the era of Liu Zhang, Meng Da, Li Yan, Fa Zheng and others all belonged to the Dongzhou Group, and they were very kind to each other and like-minded.

Unfortunately, Fa Zheng and Li Yan followed Liu Bei, and Meng Da surrendered to Liu Feng in Yidu, and since then they have belonged to two camps.

Liu Feng knew that Meng Da and Li Yan were old friends, and Li Yan had a "case record" of betraying Liu Zhang back then, so Liu Feng considered using Meng Da's relationship to persuade Li Yan to surrender before sending troops to Wuguan.

After two days of onslaught, Liu Feng believed that he had given Li Yan enough deterrent pressure, and now was the time to use both soft and hard to use Meng Da's move.

Li Yan saw that it was Meng Da, and he knew why this old friend came, so he pondered for a while, and still ordered Meng Da to be allowed to enter the customs.

The drawbridge was lowered, the city gate was wide open, and Meng Da rode in slowly.

Li Yan didn't pretend to be a scene of "each for his master", greeted this old friend in person with a smile on his face, and joined hands to enter his own big tent.

"Zhengfang, you and I have been friends for many years, we are sincere to each other, and I don't beat around the bush, this time I came to see you, but I was entrusted by the Duke of Song to persuade you to return to the court."

Before the two guests and hosts could sit down, Meng Da went straight to the point and made clear his intentions.

Li Yan wiped the blood from his face with wet wipes, and he was not surprised by Meng Da's frank and outspoken words.

After drinking a sip of water, the person was a little relieved from exhaustion, Li Yan smiled bitterly, and sighed: "At the beginning, you conspired with Xiaozhi to welcome the king of Guanzhong into Sichuan, and you never called me first, so that I was forced to surrender the king of Guanzhong in a hurry. Later, you made your own decision and surrendered to Song Gong, which almost put me and Xiaozhi into a situation of no return, and now Zidu you have come to persuade me to surrender to Song Gong, I am really a little afraid of you. ”

Li Yan's tone seemed to be a little complaining.

Meng Da said calmly: "The so-called world is unpredictable, Guan Yu was destroyed back then, Jingzhou has been lost, and Liu Xuande's army is far away in Yizhou, if I don't surrender to Song Gong, I'm afraid it will be a piece of loess at this moment." I only remember that Xiaozhi once told us that those who know the times are handsome, and don't you also think so. ”

Li Yan said: "A good person who knows the times is Junjie, then, Zidu firmly believes that the Song Guild is the final victor." ”

Meng Da stood up, pointed to the direction outside the gate, and said loudly: "Fang Jin Song Gong, there are two out of three parts of the world, the fierce generals under his command are like clouds, there are countless wise and resourceful people, and the hearts of the people want to be attached, the time, the place, and the people have all been held in hand, the general trend has been decided, I don't believe that with your knowledge, you will see clearly." ”

Meng Da's words really pierced Li Yan's heart, and his expression clearly changed.

"I am a general, and now I am the official to the general of Pingxi, you don't see it, such as Wenpin, Gan Ning, Xu Shu and other generals, all of them are in a prominent position, and Song Gonglixian uses the art of energy, which can be seen. With your talent, if you can return to Song Gong, I dare to guarantee that your official position will not be under me. ”

Meng Da was tempting each other, and he dared to swear such a promise, obviously he had already received Liu Feng's approval before.

"This matter is very important, I have to think about it, and ask Zidu to tell Song Gong and allow me a few more days." Li Yan's heart moved, but he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

At this time, Meng Da's expression suddenly became solemn, he looked directly at Li Yan, and said coldly: "Liu Bei heard that Wuguan was lost, how could he not send troops to come, Song Gong said, whether the main side is fighting or surrendering, there must be an answer before the afternoon." ”

According to Liu Feng's estimate, most of the letters for help sent by Li Yan at this time have already been sent to Liu Bei, and a large number of reinforcements should already be on the way to Wuguan at this moment, and they will arrive within two days at most, so he naturally won't give Li Yan too much time to think about it.

Li Yan looked at Meng Da and said silently: "What if I refuse to submit?" ”

Meng Da did not hesitate, and immediately replied: "As soon as the afternoon passes, if you have not replied, the 100,000 army will immediately attack the city, and the Song Guild will raze Wuguan City to the ground." ”

Meng Da's naked threat is not alarmist, with Liu Feng's current strength, he is fully capable of doing it.

It was said that it had risen high, and it was less than an hour before noon, and there was not much time left for Li Yan to think about it.

This celebrity from Nanyang is anxiously pacing in his tent, suffering from the most important decision of his life.

Meng Da didn't provoke him anymore, but sat there on his knees, tasting the tea with a casual expression.

Everything that should be said has been said, Li Yan is a wise man, there is no need to talk about superfluous truths, everything will be decided by himself.

Time was passing minute by minute, and more than half an hour had passed in the blink of an eye, and the pro-army outside had come to report that the enemy army, which had already retreated, began to slowly march towards the city again, and the momentum was even more powerful than the previous wave of attacks.

At this time, Meng Da stood up, looked at the old friend calmly, and said lightly: "Zhengfang, it's time to make a decision, whether it is life or death, it's just in your thoughts." ”

Li Yan stopped his anxious footsteps, he came to the tent door, looked at the gloomy clouds in the sky, was silent for a long time, and he let out a long breath.

######此时的刘封, he is draped all over his body, riding his horse in the endless army.

Although he had some confidence in Meng Dabao, he did not pin his hopes entirely on it, and he was ready to use the vast sea of people to submerge Wuguan City.

It was past noon, and just as he was about to give up the means of peace and order the use of force, the flag was finally raised on the city of Wuguan.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The city was opened, and the 3,000 remnants of the army defending the city drove out of the city in an orderly manner, and Li Yan followed Meng Da and rode alone to meet Liu Feng.

Liu Feng was overjoyed, turned over and dismounted to help Li Yan who was lying in front of him, stroked his shoulder and said: "Zhengfang, this time to sweep away Liu Bei and dominate the world, this merit belongs to you." ”

Liu Feng, who was excited, named Li Yan as the general of the expedition to the north on the spot, and ordered him to command 5,000 troops as the vanguard, marching west from Wuguan to the hinterland of Guanzhong.
