Chapter 253: The War Resumes
Since Yuan Shao got Yongliang, he has become an old man with a big heart. I felt that the world should be surnamed Yuan.
"Liu Zhang's gatekeeper dog, Liu Biao's incompetent generation, and Jiangdong's blue-eyed children, are not afraid." Yuan Shao said so in Tianshui at the time.
"Be careful of Gao Mengyan'......." Tian Feng reminded him so.
Yuan Shao's face trembled for a while, but at this moment, Yuan Shao was already an old man with a million armor and thousands of generals. Although he can't fight, his men can. He felt that Kyushu could win a war against one state with his eyes closed.
However, Yuan Shao also had his own unique opinions, so he put forward a plan, "Xiliang's 50,000 iron cavalry will be mine, and there will be 50,000 cavalry troops in the headquarters, 100,000 cavalry will go first, and 100,000 infantry will advance later." Although there is a danger of Huguan and the Yellow River, in the northwest, there is only a small Yanmen Pass. Thinking of my 200,000 troops, it is easy to capture Yanmen. If you capture Yanmen, you will be able to attack the hinterland at any time, and you will open the gap in the annexation of the state. What do you think? ”
Tian Feng pondered for a moment and felt that this plan was feasible. As for the Yellow River, since Gao Yuan vigorously developed the water army, the transportation of grain and grass after this pass is a big problem. He said: "What the lord said is very true, and more importantly, the population around Yanmen Pass is sparse, and Gao Mengyan will not be supported by the people. ”
Yuan Shao laughed when he heard this, and when this came to his heart, he hated it: "These flat-headed ordinary people know that they rebelled with Gao Yuan. Yanmen Pass seems to be a lofty pastoral area, and the number of people is less than one-tenth of that in the mainland. Without the support of the people, lofty is nothing. If our army goes here, it will definitely be able to win a great victory. ”
Yuan Shao suddenly said: "Order immediately, Yan Liang from Luoyang, Yuan Xi from Huguan." Three, launch an offensive against Gao Yuan! ”
Tian Feng was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "The lord can't, you must know, in the Taihang Mountain, there is also a Zhao Yun ......." ”
When Yuan Shao heard this, he remembered. In his own hinterland, there is also a damn anti-Yuan base area. This base is like a "tumor", although it can't cost Yuan Shao's life, but it involves too much of his energy. If you don't pay attention, you will have a lot of pain.
Therefore, Yuan Shao felt that it was better to wait until there was a substantial breakthrough before carrying out plans such as encirclement. In order not to succeed in the encirclement, but was attacked by Gao Yuan in Jizhou and other places. Therefore. Instead of ordering a joint attack on the mainland, he instructed his son to be careful about the garrison. Gao Yuanjun will make trouble in the village, it can't be the climate, as long as the city is guarded.
In this regard, Yuan Shao formulated a battle plan to attack Yanmen Pass, leaving Wen Chou in Chang'an and sitting in the Yongliang area. There are also generals Liang Xing, Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, and Li Kan assisted.
And Yuan Shao raised 200,000 soldiers and entered the Qiang land.
The Qiang were terrified. King Qiang Midang hurriedly sent people to Shun, and sent cattle and sheep and horses.
This made Yuan Shao very happy, and said in his heart that my Tianwei is here, and it is just around the corner to subdue the world.
On the other hand. After Gao Yuan got the news that Yuan Shao sent troops to Yanmen, he left Zhang Liao, Sima Yi, Xu Shu and others to watch the house. led an army of 100,000 to Yanmen to resist the enemy.
With Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Chu, Ma Chao, Pang De, Ma Dai, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Zhang, Xiahou Ba and other generals, and with Guo Jia and Jia Xu as military advisors.
The march matters. Looking at these generals and strategists of themselves, if they couldn't still see Ma Chao and Ma Dai, they would have thought that they were Cao Cao in a trance. The heart said that the world is really impermanent, there is everything, and now it all follows me.
Gao Yuan is still a little happy, and he said in his heart that if he can't win the world, he will be sorry for this lineup.
Therefore, although Gao Yuan only has 100,000 people, it is really imposing.
In addition, Gao Yuan ordered Zhao Yun in Changshan County to resist Yuan's base area, and immediately attacked behind enemy lines in all directions, containing Yuan Shao's forces in the north. This made Yuan Shao unable to attack from many sides.
In the early summer of 205, Gao Yuan led an army of 100,000 and entered Yanmen Pass. In summer, the temperature on this grassland is just neither hot nor cold.
In the Guancheng meeting hall, the guard general Tian Yu made a report.
Due to Gao Yuan's timely arrival, the 30,000 pioneers of Yuan's army had just arrived yesterday, and the follow-up soldiers and horses were on their way.
When I climbed the city to check it out, I saw countless tents and horses on the endless prairie, and the enemy force was very strong. Moreover, because it was in the grassland and it was summer, the enemy did not need to carry forage at all, which greatly reduced the logistical pressure of Yuan's army.
Gao Yuan couldn't help asking: "What is the attitude of the Huns on the grassland?" ”
Tian Yu hurriedly said: "All the departments are on guard against the Yuan army, and the leaders of all the departments have sent news, but wherever the lord is useful to them, he will definitely come to help." ”
Gao Yuan was very relieved and said, "It's not in vain to take care of them for so many years." ”
Three days later, Yuan Shao's troops arrived one after another, and for a time, 200,000 troops gathered on the grassland outside Yanmen Pass. As far as the eye can see, hundreds of thousands of tents stretch out, and in the far distance, they have been connected to heaven and earth.
Yuan Jun's big tent.
Yuan Shao frowned and asked Zhang Hedao, "Why didn't you attack the city?" ”
Zhang He hurriedly said: "My lord, Gao Mengyan's 100,000 army entered Yanmen first, and the last general was afraid that he would make a mistake, so he set up an earthen wall camp and waited for the lord to come to make a decision." ”
Yuan Shao was surprised: "My cavalry crossed from the grassland, and Gao Mengyan was in the interior, so he came faster than my cavalry?" ”
Tian Feng said: "My lord, Gao Mengyan has a prestige in the grassland, and it is inevitable that someone will report the news. ”
Yuan Shao suddenly got up and walked out of the big tent, and everyone didn't know so they hurriedly followed. Yuan Shao stood on the vast prairie, he felt very open-minded, this head is also a lot better, he looked at the Yanmen not far away, haha smiled and said: "This pass is much worse than the pot pass, prepare today, and enter the Yanmen in the future." ”
This Yanmen Pass, there is a saying that "the world is nine stops, and the Yanmen is the head", but that is hundreds of years later. During this period, Yanmen Pass, because it was in the hands of the Xiongnu for many years, it was inevitable that it would be dilapidated. It didn't take long to be in Gao Yuan's hands, and Gao Yuan's center of gravity was on the Huguan defense line, so it was indeed not as strong as Huguan.
By the next day.
Yuan Shao found Han Sui and said, "Wenyue, it is said that Xiliang warriors are brave and good at fighting. That Gao Mengyan will never be only in the Yanmen, and when he can fight, he will have to see the majesty of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. ”
Han Sui was resigned, and said, "I will definitely not let Yuan Gong down." ”
So, Yuan Shao raised 100,000 cavalry and went to Yanmen Pass, the 100,000 army, regardless of whether it was the headquarters or the Xiliang cavalry, were all commanders of Zhang He, Jiang Yiqu, Lu Xiang, and Lu Weikuang.
And Han Sui and his old generals Zhang Heng, Cheng Yi, Yang Qiu, Yan Xing, Cheng Gongying and others who surrendered were all generals of Zhang He and others.
However, the stars shine in a row.
Subsequently, he closed Gao Yuan and led the wolf cavalry of the state to arrive. As soon as the formation was set up here, Ma Chao and the others saw Han Sui and the others, since they were on Yuan Shao's side, needless to say, they must have surrendered.
Pang De was furious, and pointed at the knife: "General Ma treats you well, but I didn't expect that before the bones were cold, you surrendered to the enemy, it seems that you and other unrighteous people are not my Xiliang man!" (To be continued......)
