Chapter 950: Westward Advance to Chang'an (4)

Chen Kefu shook his hand: "I will do this battle in person, and the generals don't need to say much."

"He Ruodong, you led 500 foot soldiers with more banners and horns, camped under Tongguan, built more camps, and planted more flags. Practice loudly every day, and light more torches at night, so that Tongguan Jing Wuheng can't figure out your reality and dare not go down the mountain. ”

"Command!"

"Out of the dust, you take 5,000 female soldiers to garrison Feng Yi, and replace He Ruohuailiang with 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard Yongfeng. Remember, your mission is to defend Feng Yi City, you don't have to fight the enemy out of the city, just defend the city. The three cities of Fengyi, Pujin, and Yongfeng are each other's horns, and each of the three cities has 5,000 soldiers and horses, and you each defend your own city. If one side encounters the enemy, the other two cities can send troops to support. ”

Zhang Chuchen, He Ruohuailiang, and Li Yaowang received the order together.

"Zhang Zhongjian, Zhang Jin, Xiao Shilian, He Ruolong, Chang Zhongxing, Ma Ning, and Chen Lei will listen to the order, and you will each lead a total of 30,000 horses from your headquarters to secretly go to Fufeng and disperse the pass tonight. This time, we besieged the city to send reinforcements, as long as we defeated Yang Yin's reinforcements first, then with Yu Wenwen's temperament, I am afraid that it will be a matter of time before I surrender. Chen Kefu said loudly, the battle has reached this point, and there is only one more dangerous move.

"What about Chang'an? In case Yu Wenhua finds out that the main force of our army is not there, will he take the opportunity to attack Yongfeng, or Feng Yi? ”

"Don't pay attention to Chang'an, General He Ruohuailiang only needs to lead 5,000 to garrison Yongfengcang, and everything will be as usual. Yongfeng is not far from Chang'an City, just like a thorn stuck in Yu Wenhua and his throat, as long as this army of soldiers and horses is there, with the current 10,000 soldiers and horses in Chang'an, he will never dare to go out of the city to fight. "Chen Kefu knows a lot about Yu Wenhua, if he puts these 5,000 soldiers under Chang'an City, maybe Yu Wenhua may make a tentative attack. But if he stays in Yongfeng, which is not far away, Yu Wenhua will never risk sending troops here.

"By the way, I also gave Chen Shuming and Chen Kedi an order, so that they must drag Yuwen Chengdu. Don't rush to fight with Yuwen Chengdu. Just hold him back. Once Yuwen Chengdu returns to the division desperately, he will be hit hard at that time. Changwu is not close to Chang'an, if Yuwen Chengdu dares to fight to return to Chang'an, then let him go back all the way to the bloody future. ”

That night, in addition to the few soldiers and horses left as cover, Chen Kefu led 30,000 soldiers and horses. Among them, 8,000 cavalry were light cavalry, 1,000 heavy cavalry, and 20,000 horsemen were cavalry. It was really dark, and 30,000 horses went west along the Weishui River.

Yongfeng Cangcheng is 600 miles away from Sanguan.

Chen Jun walked day and night. The daily march is one hundred and fifty miles, but fortunately, Guanzhong has long been empty, and the Yuwen family has previously dispatched troops and horses to Xiaoguan. Later, he sent soldiers and horses to Changwu, and not long ago, he transferred a batch to Yongfeng. Two days ago, the last bit of the township regiment civil defense of the counties and counties near the Beijing Division was transferred to the Beijing garrison.

Along the way, the people of various cities already knew that the emperor of the Chen Dynasty had personally conquered Guanzhong, and even heard that Chang'an was besieged. As a result, almost all the people in the counties and counties fled into the towns, and in the countryside and villages, they often did not see a single person for dozens of miles.

Fufu-gun. Chencang County.

A battle had just ended, and the 30,000 Chen army, who had traveled 600 miles all the way, had marched here in four days, and they were also sleepy and lacking horses. See it here. When Chen Kefu sent people to find out that there were only 1,000 garrisons in Chencang City, he simply ordered a sneak attack on Chen Cangcheng. In the face of the prepared Chen army, the Chen Cang defenders were not prepared at all. They couldn't have imagined it. How could Chen Jun, who was supposed to be besieging Chang'an, appear here at this moment.

After a little resistance, it only took a moment for Chen Cangcheng to fall. Chen's army entered the city, but it was also orderly, and there was no confusion among the various departments searching for grain and grass, cleaning the battlefield, and interrogating prisoners. In less than two hours, Chen Cangcheng not only regained his calm, but also prepared hot water for bathing, hot meals, and fine horse food.

After taking a hot bath, Chen Kefu also suddenly felt refreshed. Just after eating a few bites of food, Zhang Jin was already outside urgently asking to see him.

"Your Majesty, military emergency. Yang Jun has promised to raise troops to ask for help Yu Wenhua and. He has raised 200,000 troops in Shuzhong, known as 500,000 troops. At present, Pei Renji and his son, who are staying in Hanzhong, led 100,000 soldiers and horses as the vanguard army, and they are coming straight to Sanguan, which is only a day away from Sanguan. "These days, Zhang Jin has already ordered secret agents from all over Guanzhong, Hanzhong, and Shuzhong to make every effort to find out the movements of soldiers and horses in various places.

However, the mountains and rivers of Hanshu are dangerous, the roads are difficult, and it is not convenient to disseminate information. When the news of Pei Renji's father and son sending troops was received, Pei Renji's soldiers and horses over there were already not far from Sanguan.

"Where's Yang Jun?" Chen Kefu asked.

Yang Jun is still in Chengdu, and it is said that he has already mobilized all his troops and horses, ready to come to the aid of the country. At present, Pei Renji's 100,000 soldiers and horses are the vanguard, and he is in Chengdu with Dong Chun, Yang Yichen, Tu Wanxu, and the four marshals of Yujuluo have gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses. Judging by the way they looked, they were going to fight with all their might. In addition, Shen Luoyan of Jianghan heard that he had also gathered 50,000 horses and horses, preparing to enter the customs with Yang Xuan. ”

"Hmph, Yang Jun is a drunkard, and he doesn't mean to drink. He has just taken Shuzhong, and he already has a solid foundation. If it is just to send troops to rescue Yu Wenhua, it is enough to have 100,000 horses and horses for Pei Renji. But look at him, not only did he take out the last 100,000 people in Shu, but he also continued to recruit troops, and even pulled Shen Luoyan up. It seems that this kid actually didn't have any good intentions, and it was fake to rescue Yu Wenhua, it seems that he wanted to take the opportunity to enter the main pass. If you enter the Guanzhong, it will be difficult to ask him to leave. This kid took Hanzhong, Bazhong, and Shuzhong. Now he is thinking about Chang'an, and he is ready to use Chang'an as his base camp. ”

Zhang Zhongjian, who had just arrived, also nodded, "Your Majesty is right, this Yang Xuan has Ba Han Shu, and Shen Luoyan of Jianghan in the south is not an enemy at all." He wants to take the fire and seize the pass, and this plan is very good. If we let him enter the pass, with his soldiers and horses, I am afraid that the troops in our hands will not be able to compete with him. Once he swallows the Yuwen clan's Guanzhong, he will be able to plunder the west of the Longyou River at that time, completely occupy the southwest and northwest, and have the capital to confront us for a long time. If that's the case, then this battle of reunification will inevitably have external branches. Da Chen's desire to dominate the world is inevitably far away. The minister thinks that now we should immediately attack Sanguan and block Pei Renji. In addition, the imperial court immediately ordered General Lu Shishen in Jiangling to lead his troops out of Badong and make a gesture of attacking Bashu in order to contain some of Yang Hui's troops and horses. ”

Chen Kefu nodded, glaring at Zhang Zhongjian with encouragement.

Chang Zhongxing worried: "This matter is easy to say, but it is difficult to operate. Pei Renji has 100,000 soldiers and horses, and we only have 30,000. And at present, Sanguan is still in the hands of the Yuwen clan, and Pei Jun's forward can arrive in less than a day. If we fail to take Sanguan before the arrival of Pei's army, we will be surrounded on all sides. ”

Chen Kefu thought for a while and said: "Yu Wenhua is now trapped in Chang'an, hundreds of miles away from us, although he can know that Yang Yong will come to the rescue, he definitely doesn't dare to take the risk of taking the initiative to send troops out of the city." As for Pei Renji, although he has 100,000 soldiers and horses, I estimate that it is good to have 30% of the elite. The Sanguan garrison is only 5,000, although there is not much time, but as long as we arrange it properly, we can still take Sanguan before Pei Renji arrives.

The generals listened to the order, and Ma Ning, He Ruolong, and Chen Lei immediately set off with the cavalry to Sanguan. Marshal Zhang Zhongjian then led the foot soldiers to follow, and we will take the Sanguan in one fell swoop! ”

Chen Jun, who had just rested for less than half a day, set off again.

The mountain road was dangerous, and Chen Kefu had to give the order to dismount.

"Your Majesty, it's dark and the road is dangerous, it's better to rest for a while and wait for dawn before marching." Chen Lei persuaded.

"No, the march must be stepped up. Bae In-ki's striker could arrive at Sanguan at any time. He is different from us, we have to attack and take the pass when we get to Sanguan. And once Pei Renji arrived, they could enter the customs immediately. Once they occupy Sanguan, this side will be the Guanzhong Plain. At that time, Pei Renji's employment pile can also pile us to death. Chen Kefu shook his way and led the horse to walk quickly.

Ma Ning rushed forward: "Your Majesty, there are only two hours away from Sanguan. My Xiliang cavalry is good at dangerous roads, and the minister asked for orders to lead 3,000 light cavalry to take the first step and go to attack Sanguan. ”

"Is there any news of Pei Jun?"

"Their strikers arrived fifty miles outside Sanguan yesterday evening, but they didn't enter the customs overnight, they camped in Sanguan." Zhang Jin said immediately.

Chen Kefu was overjoyed when he heard this: "God really helps me, Pei Jun doesn't know that we have arrived, so he is unwilling to rush overnight, but chooses to camp outside the customs, this is really a great opportunity for us." We must take the Sanguan tonight, otherwise we will be in trouble as soon as Pei Jun arrives in the morning. Ma Ning, you immediately take five thousand Xiliang cavalry first. ”

"Your Majesty, then there won't be many people around you."

"Don't worry about me, I'll be there later, go quickly. Win the Sanguan, I will give all the soldiers a higher level, a heavy reward! ”

Ma Ning roared, led five thousand Xiliang cavalry to turn over and get on their horses, and galloped away in the dark night. Looking at the team in the distance, Chen Kefu's heart was also full of nervousness. Although he didn't believe that Yang Jian really had an army of 200,000, he didn't believe in the number of 500,000. But if Pei Jun is allowed to occupy the Sanguan first, it will be difficult to recapture such a dangerous pass.

With a nervous mood, Chen Kefu marched all the way, and when he finally arrived under the pass, Ma Ning was already waiting in front of the pass.

"Chen Maning and his brothers are fortunate to have lived up to His Majesty's expectations. The Dasan Pass has been completely taken, and the 5,000 defenders in the pass have been killed, except for more than 700 people killed in the battle, and the rest have been captured. Our troops have paid more than 500 casualties and have completely controlled the dispersal of the pass. ”

"Good!" Chen Kefu was overjoyed when he heard this, and personally dismounted to help Ma Ning: "Okay, good, General Ma, please get up, be the first meritorious, and reward him for his merit after the war." ”

Looking at the Sanguan Guancheng in the mountains, Chen Kefu couldn't help but feel a sense of relief in his heart. finally won Sanguan before Bae Renji's striker, and he was much more confident in the battle ahead.

In the dim sky, a touch of fish belly white was finally revealed, and a round of red sun jumped out in the mountains in the east, and the red light was full of red light!
