Chapter Ninety-Nine: Yuan Jun's Surprise Attack
Huguan, inside the city, the council chamber.
April day, the future solar calendar is almost June.
The heavy pressure and the hot weather all made Gao Yuan feel out of breath.
"Lord, lord!" With the shout, Sima Yi and Zhao Yun entered the conference hall.
Gao Yuan's heart tightened, wiped his sweat and said, "Zhongda, Zilong, what's the matter?" ”
Zhao Yun said: "Lord, today I went with the military division to survey the camp of the Yuan army. ”
Gao Yuan was very pleased when he heard this, and he appointed Sima Yi as his military advisor, but Sima Yi did not bring a victory, but this was because it was Sima Yi's first battle. However, after Sima Yi joined, Gao Yuan already clearly felt that the military and politics were much easier.
In fact, Gao Yuan, who came in later generations, has not yet fully grasped the details of military affairs and government affairs in this period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it is difficult for him to explain clearly the official positions at all levels. Fortunately, Sima Yi's talent is genuine, when Sima Yi joins, Gao Yuan can grasp the general direction, and the details are all done by Sima Yi.
"Did you find anything?" He asked.
Sima Yi arched his hand and said: "My lord, I didn't find a large number of cavalry in the camp of the Yuan army, and there were only about 2,000 cavalry. ”
Gao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it, "It's not as good as cavalry." "For him, it is a great thing that Yuan Shao does not have cavalry, at least if he really can't hold the defensive line, he can withdraw safely.
Zhao Yun said anxiously: "The military advisor has analyzed, it is impossible for Yuan Shao not to bring cavalry, and his cavalry must have been sent to other places." In all likelihood, a surprise detour will strike me and the state. ”
Gao Yuan's face changed drastically, and on a hot day, he suddenly felt cold, and suddenly got up, "Surprise attack!" He hurriedly spread out the military map, "Surprise attack!" It is impossible for cavalry to enter the mountains, and crossing the river must be aware ....... ”
When Gao Yuan's hand pointed to the "Juyong Pass" in the northwest of Shanggu County, Sima Yi's fingers also arrived.
Juyong Pass: It is the famous ancient Guan City along the Great Wall of Jingbei, the canyon terrain where the Guancheng is located is dangerous, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Yan State wants to control this mouth, when it is called "Juyong Stop", it has been quite large-scale in the Han Dynasty.
This pass was in the hands of Yuan Shao, along with the Great Wall, to guard against the grassland.
The two glanced at each other, and Gao Yuan exclaimed: "Yuan Shao wants to go around the entire Taihang Mountain and cut from the grassland to the north of my state!" ”
If it is an infantry, it is enough to choke for half a year, and there is no surprise attack effect at all. On the contrary, they will drag themselves down because of logistics. But the cavalry is different, a half-moon rush is enough. There are mountains, rivers and grasslands along the way, and there is no need to bring horse material.
"At least 10,000 cavalry ...... in a roundabout." Sima Yi calculated the strength intelligence of Yuan Shao's forces and made a conservative estimate.
"Ten thousand cavalry!" Gao Yuan suddenly softened on the collapse, just the 100,000 Yuan troops in front of the pass, he was already unable to resist, plus 10,000 cavalry troops rushed to the rear, this battle was no longer necessary.
Suddenly, Gao Yuan felt embattled, this is the power of the old princes, and he, a newcomer, can't resist it.
Gao Yuan's eyes were confused, and when he saw Sima Yi, who was quite calm in front of him, he hurriedly said, "Zhongda! Can there be a break on both sides? Gao Yuan already felt embattled, and could only hope for Sima Yi, who was not under Zhuge Liang.
Sticking to it is Sima Yi's strength, and every Wolong is guarded to death by him.
Sure enough, Sima Yi lived up to his lofty expectations, he already had a proposition, saying: "The lord doesn't need to worry too much, the cavalry of the Yuan army is very likely to come from the grassland, but we also have the geographical advantage of the Yanmen Pass of the Great Wall." ”
"The Great Wall! Yanmen Pass! Gao Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and said in his heart that it was right, this Great Wall was built to resist the nomadic cavalry. Since Yuan Shao came from the grassland, it can be regarded as a nomadic cavalry.
This is Sima Yi's first battle as a military advisor, and he gradually became excited, and then said: "There are two ways to enter the hinterland of Bingzhou, one is Yanmen Pass, and if your subordinates want to come, Yuan Jun will definitely not go." ”
Gao Yuan's eyes widened when he heard this, his mouth suddenly became O-shaped, and his heart said that Yuan Jun would not leave, so how could I resist? It's not dead!
When he was puzzled, Sima Yi smiled and said: "Lord, Yuan Jun will definitely take into account the ease of defending and difficult to attack Yanmen Pass, so he must go to the lowland between Wutai Mountain and Heng Mountain." ”
Sima Yi pointed to the map, and as he narrated, Gao Yuan could also vividly sketch a ribbon of lowland between the two mountains in his mind. Because Heng Mountain and Wutai Mountain are both broken block mountains, very steep, it has become a huge traffic barrier in the north of Shanxi, so this belt-like lowland between the two mountains has become the most convenient passage into Shanxi in the north.
However, Gao Yuan soon faced the dilemma of having few soldiers.
Sima Yi said: "You can send 3,000 cavalry troops and select good generals to resist Yuan's army." ”
"What about the enemy in front of the gate?" Gao Yuan said worriedly.
Sima Yi affirmed: "If Yuan Jun has not been out for the past few days, he must be waiting for news from the strange soldiers. Or only feint ....... In fact, Sima Yi was also very worried about Yuan Shao's army in front of the pass, although he had formulated a set of effective strategies to deal with surprise attacks, but when it came to the battle in front of the pass, he could only make a desperate bet.
It's better to fail head-on than to be stolen from your hometown, so Gao Yuan also made a decision.
At the subsequent military meeting, Gao Yuan got up and loudly named Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun to go to the northern part of Bingzhou, "The success or failure of our army in this battle depends on the four generals Wen Yuan, Zilong, Zhou Cang, and Pei Yuanshao." ”
"I am willing to serve the Lord and serve the dead!" Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and others stood up and bowed.
Sima Yi couldn't help nodding when he saw that the monarch and ministers were extremely imposing, fearless of life and death. On the one hand, he admired Gao Yuan's decisiveness in times of crisis, and on the other hand, he was very optimistic about the combination of Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun. "If it is an ordinary general, it is difficult to win more with less, but Wen Yuan and Zilong led the army, plus Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao helped, and the victory was very large."
Immediately after, Gao Yuan sent an order to Jinyang, ordering Tian Yu to lead a small number of garrisons to go to Yanmen Pass, and give Yuan Jun the appearance of heavy guards at Yanmen Pass. He also ordered Yan Rou in Hanoi to pay close attention to Cao's movements.
With Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao leading 3,000 soldiers and horses to leave, Gao Yuan's garrison at Huguan was only 2,000 people left.
In the next few days, Yuan Shao began to launch an offensive, but Gao Yuan resisted with all his might, and made the illusion that the whole army was here. And Yuan Shao just feintmed, waiting for news from Chun Yuqiong. At this point, Gao Yuan also faced great pressure, and almost lost several times. Fortunately, he took the lead, Xu Huang and Yu Ban worked hard, and the three armies died, and Sima Yi, the leader of the stubborn battle, repeatedly designed, so he stubbornly defended it.
During this period, Sima Yi continued to encourage Gao Yuan, Yuan Shao was obviously in a state of feint, he must be waiting for the news of the surprise attack, and he only needed to defeat Yuan Shao's cavalry to win the victory. In fact, he knew in his heart that if he really defeated the surprise attack of the Yuan cavalry, Yuan Shao would definitely attack Huguan frantically, and Huguan would definitely not be able to defend it.
The situation is extremely unfavorable for Gao Yuan.
However, Sima Yi did not say that what the whole army needs now is confidence, and he has also worked hard to open a road to the world for Gao Yuan.
The others also tried their best, but in this adversity, everyone was tightly united around Gao Yuan, fighting desperately for the future!
Five days later, Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun led three thousand wolf riders to the lowlands between Wutai Mountain and Heng Mountain. With the return of the Tanma, they received the news that Yuan Jun had come day and night.
"The military advisor is a god!" Zhao Yun couldn't help but sigh.
"In this battle, we must defeat the Yuan army that attacked us, and we must not live up to the expectations of the lord for us." Zhang Liao said.
The next day, Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun found the only uplifted highland in the lowlands.
This piece of highland is called Pingxingling, and it guards the lowland passage between the two mountains.
