Chapter 95: Crazy Decision
Wei Yu sighed and said, "General, there is indeed no need to go to Huguan. ”
Gao Chu proposed: "General, military division, why don't you indirectly cross the Taihang Mountain." ”
"Indirect over the Taihang Mountain?" Xiang Zhuang and Wei Yi shook their heads with a wry smile at the same time, the steepness and danger of Taihang Mountain are far more than Dabie Mountain, the last time the Chu army was able to come out of Dabie Mountain, it was already a fluke, Xiang Zhuang didn't want to be in danger again, not to mention that it was already the end of May, and the mountains were already rampant with snakes and insects.
"General, why don't you ......," Wu Shi said softly, "Let's go around from Yandi, right?" ”
"It's too far to detour from Yandi, and it's more risky." Xiang Zhuang shook his head, and suddenly said in shock, "Strategist, let's not go to Huguan, go to Hangu Pass!" ”
"Huh? Go to Hangu Pass?! Wei Yudeng's expression moved slightly.
Wu Shi and Gao Chu have changed their faces greatly, and Hangu Pass is the first male pass in the world!
"That's right, Hangu Pass!" Xiang Zhuang nodded heavily and said viciously, "Attack Hangu Pass!" ”
From Xiang Zhuang's depressed tone, Wei Yi heard a faint determination, obviously, Xiang Zhuang said that he was not casually talking about attacking Hangu Pass, but he really had a decision, but Wei Yi thought about it, although this idea was crazy, but from the perspective of military tactics, it also had the advantage of being surprised and unprepared.
Of course, this is the only positive factor, but there are many negative factors.
First of all, Hangu Pass is close to Xianyang, and the Han army will definitely be heavily garrisoned; Secondly, Hangu Pass has Sanchuan County as a barrier, and Sanchuan County has Tiger Prison Pass as its gateway, and if the Chu army wants to attack Hangu Pass, it must first lay the Tiger Prison Pass; Again, Sanchuan County Shou Lu Ze is not a mediocre person, not so easy to deal with.
Finally, and most importantly, Hangu Pass is too steep!
How did the name Hanguguan come about? It's because it's locked in the valley, and it's as dangerous as a letter!
One husband is the pass, ten thousand people are not open, this famous allusion is born because of the Hangu Pass.
Under normal circumstances, if the Chu army wants to capture Hangu Pass, unless it has more than ten times the superior force and enough time, it will not even think about it.
It is precisely because of these unfavorable factors that Xiang Zhuang never thought of attacking Hangu Pass.
Even when the Chu army swept through Wei, Xiang Zhuang never thought about attacking Hangu Pass, because Xiang Zhuang knew that the possibility of success for the Chu army to attack Hangu Pass was very small! Let's not talk about whether we can survive the Tiger Prison Pass and Sanchuan County, even if the Chu army really kills the Hangu Pass, most of the final results will be a halberd and a sinking sand.
Wei Yi frowned, and said in a deep voice: "General, have you thought about it clearly?" ”
"Think it through." Xiang Zhuang said in a deep voice, "We have no choice but to take a risk!" ”
After that, Xiang Zhuang took out the map from his rag bag and spread it out in front of him, then pointed to Huguan and said: "Military advisor, Mr. Wu She, please see, Huguan is built in the westernmost part of the Huguan Grand Canyon, and its danger is no less than that of Hangu Pass, and the Han army will definitely send heavy troops!" The Korean army may not really defend it, and it will never let us go easily. ”
"Originally, we were able to hope for a sneak attack, but now that the Han army is guarding the east side of the canyon, a sneak attack is absolutely impossible, but if we attack strongly, even if we take Huguan, how many people will be left in our army?"
Wei Yu nodded silently, Huguan is dangerous, if the Chu army attacks, the chances of winning are indeed not high.
Xiang Zhuang said: "Moreover, even if our army has taken Huguan, we will cross the river to the west again, and the Han army in Guanzhong will definitely have received the news at that time, and it will definitely be tightly fortified in Hexi, that is to say, our army will fight another fierce battle, and after these two fierce battles, how many people will be left in our army?" Can it still form a threat to Guanzhong? ”
Wei Yu was silent, this is exactly what he was constantly worried about, the Chu army still had too few troops.
"So, it's better to attack Hangu Pass indirectly!" Xiang Zhuang Senran said, "Now, the risk of entering the customs through Huguan and Handi is not much different from the indirect entry from Hangu Pass, since this is the case, why not indirectly attack Hangu Pass?" ”
Speaking of this, Xiang Zhuang slammed his fist on the map again, and then said, "As long as Hangu Pass is taken, our army can rush to Xianyang in two days, at that time, Xiao He just wanted to mobilize troops from various counties and counties to defend Xianyang, and if Hangu Pass was taken, Xianyang would be in no danger to defend!" ”
Wu Shi said: "However, Hangu Pass is the gateway to Guanzhong, and there will definitely be heavy guards!" ”
Xiang Zhuang said: "Of course, Hangu Pass will be heavily guarded, but it is also close to Xianyang!" ”
Wu Shi thought for a while, and then said: "General, if our army wants to attack Hangu Pass, it must first pass through Sanchuan County, and Sanchuan County has Tiger Prison Pass as its gateway, if our army wants to attack Hangu Pass, wouldn't it be necessary to break the Tiger Prison Pass first?" ”
Wei Yu suddenly said: "That's not necessarily, our army is completely able to bypass the Tiger Prison Pass and enter Sanchuan County indirectly." ”
Wei Yu is very clear that the water surface of the river is very gentle from Nanpi to Pingyin and Heyong near Luoyang, and the boats can completely pass, but if they go upstream, the river will begin to become steep and turbulent, and the ships will not be able to pass, so it is still possible to bypass the Tiger Pass by water, and it is absolutely impossible to bypass the Hangu Pass.
Just when Xiang Zhuang thought that Wei Yu had agreed with his decision, Wei Yu suddenly said again: "However, Sanchuan County is guarded by Liu Bang's brother-in-law Lu Ze, general, Lu Ze is not easy to deal with!" ”
As early as when he swept Wei Di, Wei Yi had commented on Lu Ze.
Wei Yi believes that although Lu Ze does not have Xiao He's political talent, nor does he have Zhang Liang's strategy, and he is not as good as Han Xin's ability to use troops, but in terms of comprehensive ability in all aspects, none of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty can match Lu Ze!
Historically, because Empress Lu had usurped the Han Dynasty in reality, Sima Qian wrote history, in order to maintain the orthodoxy of Liu Han, to a large extent erased Lu Ze's merits and ability, Liu Bang said that when the emperor rewarded the ministers, the most deserving king was actually Lu Ze, but Liu Bang was worried that the rear party would endanger the imperial power, so he only gave Lu Ze a marquis.
"The military advisor is right, Lu Ze is indeed difficult to deal with, but ......" Xiang Zhuang gritted his teeth and said senran, "We have no choice, and now we can only risk death!" ”
Wei Yu sighed, shook his head, and said, "General, with all due respect, the odds of going to Hangu Pass are really slim. ”
Xiang Zhuang nodded, and said resolutely: "I know this, but it's still that sentence, even if I know that I will definitely die if I go, I still have to go, I, Xiang Zhuang, will never sit still, and I will never give up lightly until the end!" ”
"Okay." Wei Yu said solemnly, "Since the general's determination has been decided, the old man will not say anything more, and the old man should do his best to help the general break the Hangu Pass and capture Xianyang!" ”
Wu Shi also said: "General, for the sake of Da Chu, why don't you regret to die!" ”
"Thank you, sir!" Xiang Zhuang stretched out his hand and shook hands with Wei Yi and Wu Shi.
The decision was made, and Wei Yu quickly began to plan the tactics of a surprise attack on Hangu Pass, and immediately said: "General, from the perspective of the art of war, attacking Hangu Pass is also in line with the purpose of 'taking it by surprise and attacking it unprepared', but in order to truly realize this plan, it is necessary to smuggle the army from the waterway into Pingyin County, the hinterland of Sanchuan County!" ”
As he spoke, Wei Yu pointed to the Thorn Puyi in Zhao Di, and said: "The ship is ready-made, and it can send a partial division back to the dense forest east of Thorn Puyi, drag the boat hidden there along the north bank of the river to Ha Yong County in Hanoi County, and by the way, bring back the weapons and armor hidden in Thorn Puyi, and then cross the army from Heyong County to Pingyin County on the other bank." ”
Xiang Zhuang nodded, the river (Yellow River) in this era is not like the above-ground river above the surface in later generations, and the banks of the river are also densely forested, so as long as the Chu army goes out day and night and acts carefully, it is still completely possible to quietly tow the boat to Ha Yong County in Hanoi County, but the time will drag on a little longer, it may take five or six days or even longer.
Wei Yu said again: "The army crossed the river south and entered Pingyin County, and then we need to wait for the opportunity." ”
Xiang Zhuang thought that it was indeed necessary to wait for the opportunity to attack Hangu Pass, and the strong attack was just a forced choice, but this time was probably not so easy to wait, because the five hundred suspicious soldiers in the Yuzi period were likely to have been identified, and although Wei Yi's golden cicada plan to get out of the shell was clever, it was impossible to deceive Zhang Liang for too long.
While he was talking, Gongsun Sui came in again to report: "General, General Jing Qian asks to see." ”
"Jing Qian? Let him in. Xiang Zhuang frowned unconsciously, could it be that something happened again? Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but be depressed, Gao Chu just brought a bad news, and Jing Qianbei brought another bad news?
Jing Qian quickly walked in, saluted Xiang Zhuang, Wei Yu, and Wu She, and then said, "General, the last general has brought you someone." ”
"Alone?" Xiang Zhuang frowned and said, "Who?" ”
Jing Qian said: "General of the Great Wei and Dangjun Guard, Pang Yu." ”
"Pang Yu?" Xiang Zhuang turned his head sideways and exchanged glances with Wei Yu, and asked, "How did he get here?" ”
Jing Qian said: "Pang Yu said that he came to defect to the general, but after arriving in Zhao Di, I realized that we had returned to Qi Di, and when we were about to cross the river to chase, we were detained by Zhao Jun in Anyang County. ”
Xiang Zhuang said: "Then how did you meet Pang Yu?" ”
Jing Qian said: "More than 400 people led by the last general were also detained by Zhao Jun in Anyang, and at night, when the last general was about to sneak away with the soldiers, he didn't want to be recognized, fortunately, this person was Pang Yu, if Zhao Jun was eyeliner, it would be troublesome." After saying this, Jing Qian said again, "General, Pang Yu is outside, do you see him?" ”
Xiang Zhuang and Wei Yi looked at each other and smiled bitterly, Jing Qian's courage is brave, but his mind is a little simple.
Wu Shi couldn't help but complain about Jing Qian: "General Jing Qian, you are so confused, how can you be so gullible about Pang Yu?" ”
After saying this, Wu Shi said again: "In case Pang Yu has secretly defected to Liu Bang and become a spy of the Han army, if you rashly bring him to find the general, won't you leak the general's whereabouts of the general and our army to Liu Bang?" ”
"Huh? I hadn't thought about that. Jing Qian changed color and said, "I'm going to kill him!" ”
"Alright." Xiang Zhuang didn't have a good breath and said, "Pang Yu shouldn't be a spy, bring him in quickly." "######ps# lion22, crying Xiaozi, Ying Gong, book friend 091018194413675, and other book friends for their generous rewards, thank you very much.
