Chapter 081: Dingjun Mountain
Just when Yang Ren was about to be trampled to death by the horse's hooves, Yang Ren suddenly rose with all his strength, jumped up from the ground, grabbed a Sichuan cavalry, stepped on the war horse, wrapped in the cavalry torrent, and continued to fight with Lei Tong.
Liu Zhang stood up from the handsome platform, pointed at Yang Ren, and said in surprise: "Who is this?" So loyal? ”
"When I get it, I'll find out when I ask." Zhang Ren took the spear from the soldier.
"Use a knife to kill chickens, wait a while, and Yan Yan will go back when he goes."
Yan Yan stepped on the war horse with a war knife, swooped down, and took Yang Ren directly, Yang Ren's martial arts were not high, he could only be regarded as average, and he was tired from fighting for a long time, and he didn't count with Yan Yan, and was slapped off the horse with a knife, Yan Yan stepped across the horse, and the knife edge was on Yang Ren's neck.
When the Hanzhong soldiers saw that the main man was about to be captured, their morale was suddenly discharged, and they all surrendered to the ground, Yan Yan tied Yang Ren to the mountain, Liu Zhang looked at Yang Ren who was covered in blood, and asked in a deep voice: "Warrior, who is your surname?" ”
"Your grandfather Yang Ren is also."
"If you speak disrespectfully, you will find death." It was so powerful that he was about to rush up with a sledgehammer, but Liu Zhang stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you are Yang Ren, the thief general who refused Yang Bai to enter the city and caused my Sichuan army to fail to capture the pass, and now you have no way out when you return to Hanzhong, are you willing to surrender?" ”
"If you want to kill or chop, listen to me, ask me to surrender, and dream." Yang Ren roared sharply, pulling the wound on his body, severe pain came, and his teeth were clenched.
Liu Zhang smiled slightly: "It seems that you are too seriously injured and delirious, when you are injured, the official will come to ask you again." ”
"Hahaha." The generals burst into laughter, Zhang Ren waved his hand to a few soldiers, and a few soldiers carried Yang Ren down to treat their injuries. Liu Zhang's words only made Yang Ren stunned, and then reacted, lying on the stretcher and shouting: "Liu Zhang's child, don't think that if you are a little favor, Yang will betray Shijun and be delusional......"
"Alright." Liu Zhang brushed away his smile and said to the generals in a deep voice: "Our army won the first battle, and the two passes of Tiandang and Baishui were captured, and more than 40,000 soldiers were killed and wounded, which can be described as a complete victory.
Now the Nanzheng garrison is less than 10,000 people, Dingjun Mountain is the gateway to Nanzheng, but it is not the only channel, there is a trail to bypass Dingjun Mountain and take Nanzheng directly, and the Hanzhong army has been extremely weak after the battle of Tiandang Baishui, it is impossible to divide troops to guard the trail, do you think our army should take Dingjun Mountain first, or directly attack Nanzheng? ”
Zhang Ren bowed and said: "My lord, the last general thinks that since Zhang Lu will deploy 10,000 troops to reinforce Dingjun Mountain when the army is weak, it shows that Dingjun Mountain is very important, Nanzheng and Dingjun Mountain are interdependent, if we directly attack Nanzheng, Dingjun Mountain will inevitably attack our side, and the future will be endless, so the last general thinks that Dingjun Mountain should be taken first, and then go down to Nanzheng." ”
The other generals felt that Zhang Ren was reasonable, and they echoed it.
"The Admiral disagrees with the Admiral." A veteran general stood up, it was Yan Yan who captured Yang Ren, "Lord, if our army has sufficient strength, it is naturally the best strategy to take Dingjun Mountain first, and then Nanzheng, but we captured Tiandang Baishui, although we lost 40,000 enemies, but our own casualties were also very heavy, and now there are less than 30,000 soldiers and horses left."
Dingjun Mountain is dangerous, and there are more than 10,000 defenders to guard, the so-called killing of 1,000 enemies and self-loss of 800, if we attack our army will definitely suffer heavy losses, what will be used to attack Nanzheng, so the last general thinks that Nanzheng should be taken first, and Dingjun Mountain can be overcome without a fight. ”
Liu Zhang nodded: "It all makes sense, filial piety, what do you think?" ”
Fa Zheng muttered: "Dingjun Mountain is abundant in grain and grass, the mountain is dangerous, and Nanzheng is not so easy to overcome, not to mention the city is high and deep, there is Zhang Lu's old nest, operating for several years, it is not easy to overcome, the most secure way is to garrison the periphery of Dingjun Mountain, cut off the grain road of Dingjun Mountain, and firmly guard the two passes of Baishui Tiandang, and confront Zhang Lu, our army currently has an advantage in military strength, geography has an advantage, Xichuan has an advantage in manpower and material resources, it does not take a year, Hanzhong can go down without a fight. ”
"A year? Joke, this official can't wait that long. "Although many battles are fought in a year or two, but in fact, the decisive victory is in a few days, in history Liu Bei took Hanzhong to confront more than a year, starting from burning Zhang He's antlers, it took less than a month to go down to Hanzhong.
Now Liu Zhang has spent a few months quelling the civil strife, and now if he confronts Hanzhong for a year, I am afraid that before he leaves Sichuan, Cao Cao will unify the north, and then 800,000 troops will go south...... Come on, you don't have to play it yourself.
"If the lord wants to fight quickly, then he has to look at the terrain of Dingjun Mountain first."
Liu Zhang said with a smile: "It seems that Wei Yan has brought a good atmosphere to the army, pragmatic, well, let's go and see what the so-called strange danger looks like." ”
Liu Zhang led an army of 20,000 to attack Dingjun Mountain along the Micang Road, attacking the city along the road, and the Hanzhong soldiers retreated all the way, until they stopped in front of the Dingjun Mountain, Wei Yan took the captives out of Jiameng Pass, and Leng Bao joined Liu Zhang with 7,000 soldiers and horses.
Liu Zhang had nearly 30,000 troops, and the combined strength of Junshan and Nanzheng was slightly lower than this number.
The Minjiang River, the E'e Shu Mountain, only Shu is talented, and the courage is high!
Dingjun Mountain smoke and clouds lingering, steep and majestic, strange and beautiful, Liu Zhang and the generals stepped on a cliff, looking at the evaporating mountain gas, Liu Zhang sighed: "Such handsome rivers and mountains, this official really does not want to pollute the bloody gas." ”
Fa Zheng said with a smile: "Today's soldiers' blood, tomorrow's rushing river, the lord Kuang supports the Han family, and pacifies the troubled times, is to return this great river and mountain clean, and when we take Hanzhong, won't Hanzhong be able to avoid war forever?" ”
"Hahaha, this is similar to Wishing you prosperity, it sounds comfortable." Liu Zhang laughed: "Then let's talk about it, how to settle on Junshan?" Or take Nanzheng without fighting Dingjun Mountain. ”
Fa Zheng looked at the faint Zhang Weishan camp in the distance and said: "The subordinate view of the Zhang Wei camp, all built in the leeward, now the weather in September, although it can avoid the cold wind, but the terrain is relatively low, the lord you see, Dingjun Shanxi, there is a high mountain, all around are dangerous roads, condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack, our army should be occupied overnight, when you can look down on Dingjun Mountain, Zhang Weizhi's virtual reality is in the palm of your hand. ”
Liu Zhang glanced in the direction of Fa Zheng's finger, shook his head again and again, and said: "No, the official won't go there, now the north wind is blowing, and the place is touching the water in the world, how cold it is, no, no, no, I won't go." ”
"The lord didn't mean it seriously, did he?"
Fa Zheng smiled, and the other generals also laughed, Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Just kidding, I just don't understand what is the use of filial piety and saying that Zhang Wei's camp is virtual and real, the army is dangerous, Zhang Wei's more than 10,000 soldiers are enough to guard, there is no empty direction, even if we observe the virtual reality, what can we do?" ”
Fa Zheng frowned and said: "The lord has said to the point, if it is a reckless person like Yang Bai who guards Dingjun Mountain, we occupy the opposite mountain, looking down on its emptiness and reality, we will inevitably come out of the camp to attack, we can take advantage of the situation to defeat it, but although Zhang Wei is full of courage, he is not lacking in calmness.
We occupy the opposite mountain, and now the strength of Hanzhong is at a disadvantage, Zhang Wei will not make any moves, as the lord said, we can't do anything, but even if Zhang Wei doesn't go out of the camp, can't we find someone to force him out of the camp? ”
"Who can force him out of the camp?"
"Zhang Lu Moushi, Yang Bai's brother Yang Song."
