Chapter 104: Tiger Prison Pass (2)
"Rush back to Sanchuan County?" Wu She's deliberate omission really attracted Chen Xuan's attention, and at that moment Chen Xuan asked, "Mr. is saying that the general is in Sanchuan County?" ”
"Uh, this ......" Wu Shi looked around, seeming a little embarrassed.
Chen Feng hurriedly retreated, and then asked in a low voice, "Sir, is the general really in Sanchuan County?" ”
Wu Shi hesitated for a moment, and finally told the truth: "Okay, don't hide it from the general, the general has indeed arrived in Sanchuan County now, if nothing else, he should have captured Luoyang by now, and then he will attack Hangu Pass, and attack Xianyang to smash Liu Bang's old nest." ”
Of course, Wu Shi is talking nonsense, he is not sure whether the Chu army can have crossed the river four times and entered Sanchuan County, as for the capture of Luoyang, it is even more nonsense, the purpose is nothing more than to fool Chen Feng and deceive his tens of thousands of troops to attack the Tiger Prison Pass, once Chen Xian's army captures the Tiger Prison Pass, it can become the barrier of Sanchuan County and indirectly assist the Chu army to attack Hangu Pass!
At first, Wu Shi didn't think of this, but he only thought of it under Kui Che's prompting.
"What? The generals have already captured Luoyang?! Chen Feng was really shocked when he heard this.
Although Chen Feng has been trapped in Aocang City recently, his contact with the outside world has not been severed, because there are many heroes in the rivers and lakes among his customers, these people secretly went out of the city to find out the news, although they didn't know the whole truth, but they also inquired about Liu Bang's pursuit of the Chu army.
As far as Chen Feng knew, Xiang Zhuang's Chu army had clearly been trapped in Qi by Liu Bang and Han Xin, why did they suddenly appear in Sanchuan County again? also captured Luoyang, and then he will steal Lu Ze's Guan Fang Yin Xin to deceive Kaihan Guguan? If this is the case, wouldn't this Zhuang and Wei Yu even deceive Zhang Liang and Chen Ping?
"How?" Wu Shi said indifferently, "Don't you believe it, general?" ”
"No, no, no, of course not." Chen Feng hurriedly said, "In this case, the last general will lead the army to break the Tiger Prison Pass and rush to Sanchuan County to meet the general!" ”
Almost instantly, Chen Feng made a decision - to go to Sanchuan County!
Of course, Chen Xian's decision to go to Sanchuan County is definitely not to defect to Xiangzhuang, in reality, Chen Xuan now has an army of 30,000, and Xiangzhuang is probably still only five or six thousand people, right? If the two armies really converge, whoever is in charge will have to be carefully calculated, even if Chen Feng didn't think about overpowering Xiang Zhuang, at least he should be on an equal footing, right?
As for the Tiger Prison Pass, Chen Xuan didn't take it too seriously, how could a small pass with two or three thousand defenders be able to stop his 30,000 army?
In reality, the Tiger Prison Pass became the world's Xiongguan after the Eastern Han Dynasty, because the Eastern Han Dynasty set the capital Luoyang, in order to protect Luoyang, the Han Dynasty repeatedly strengthened and heightened the wall of the Tiger Pass, so that the Tiger Prison Pass became the strongest Xiongguan in the world, but at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Tiger Prison Pass was just the most ordinary pass.
Luoyang, the county guard.
The Chu army searched the entire mansion, but did not find Lu Ze's seal letter, it seems that Lu Ze did not leave his seal in Luoyang, but brought it to the army, this is a bit unexpected by Xiang Zhuang, without Lu Ze's seal letter, if you want to deceive the letter of Hanguguan, it is simply wishful thinking.
Xiang Zhuang sighed and asked Wei Yu, "Military Division, can you open and close the door with the surface of Lu Chan?" ”
Lu Chan is the son-in-law who opened the gate of the county guard mansion and surrendered just now, and he is also the second son of Lu Ze, the county guard of Sanchuan.
"It's impossible." Wei Yu shook his head and said, "The guard general of Hangu Pass Gu Feng, the old man has also heard of it a little, this person is upright, not afraid of the powerful, and he is even more cautious in the use of soldiers, and he is quite valued by Liu Bang, so he will be appointed as the guard general of Hangu Pass!" The general used Lu Chan's superficial deception, but he was afraid that it would backfire. ”
Xiang Zhuang clapped his fist and said hatefully: "So, you can only attack?" ”
If you want to storm Hangu Pass, you must have a cloud ladder, and I don't know if there is one in the Luoyang arsenal.
When Xiang Zhuang turned around and instructed Huan Chu, the former army general, he said: "Huan Chu, immediately lead the troops to seal the arsenal in Luoyang, and then send troops to the street, I don't care what method you use, be sure to arrest all the blacksmiths, carpenters, and weaponsmiths in Luoyang City before it gets dark today, go quickly!" ”
Xiang Zhuang is also just in case, in case there is no ladder in the arsenal, then it must be made as soon as possible.
As for blacksmiths and weaponsmiths, they can also make some weapons by the way, especially ring knives and javelins, and the Chu army is now in urgent need of a large number of ring knives and javelins to strengthen their force.
"No!" Huan Chu suddenly agreed and took the order.
Xiang Zhuang said to Captain Gao Chu of Nufeng: "Gao Chu, the task of blockading Luoyang City will be handed over to the Nufeng Battalion...... Lawfully kill on sight! ”
"No!" Gao Chu agreed with a bang, and then immediately received the order.
Xiang Zhuang turned around and asked Gongsun Sui, "Is there still no news from Mr. Wu She's side?" ”
Xiang Zhuang is not only worried that Wei Yu's discordant plan can not be fully successful, but also worried about the safety of Wu She, now the debater under his account can be Wu She, if something really happens, it will be irretrievable loss, don't look at the current Wu She's little effect on the Chu army, but in the future, the princes from all walks of life will form a separatist trend, Wu Shi will become an indispensable talent.
In the future, the cooperation between the Chu State and the vassal states will not be able to be less involved in martial arts?
"Nope." Gongsun then shook his head and said, "However, the villain has already sent eighteen dead soldiers to meet him, and he has also prepared ten small boats on the south bank of the river, and the news should be transmitted back soon." ”
"Eighteen dead men are too few." Xiang Zhuang shook his head, and suddenly looked back at Jing Qian and Pang Yudao, "In this way, you will immediately lead five hundred light soldiers to leave the city, bypass the Tiger Prison Pass from the waterway, and go to Aocang to respond!" Remember, your task is to meet Wu She, and don't fight the Liang army and the Han army unless you have to. ”
"No!" Jing Qian and Pang Yu suddenly agreed and took the order.
Seeing Jing Qian and Pang Yu go away, Wei Yu persuaded Xiang Zhuang and said: "The general doesn't have to worry too much, Mr. Wu She's eloquence is outstanding, and most of them have already succeeded now, otherwise, how could Lu Ze transfer troops from Luoyang to Tiger Pass?" As for the success, with Mr. Wu She's ability, it is not difficult to find an opportunity to get out. ”
Xiang Zhuang nodded and muttered, "I hope so." ”
In addition, Jing Qian and Pang Yu led 500 light troops out of Luoyang and rushed eastward along the gallop road, and by the evening, they had already marched more than 100 miles to the east, and they were less than 10 miles away from the Tiger Prison Pass.
Pang Yu persuaded Jing Qian: "General, you can't go any further. ”
Further on, it is about to enter the warning category of the Tiger Pass, the Tiger Pass is heavily garrisoned, and there is also a beacon lookout on the remaining veins of Songshan Mountain in the tight ridge pass, if the Chu army goes further, it will be discovered.
Jing Qian nodded, and immediately left the gallop with five hundred light soldiers and turned into the bank of the river a few miles away.
In a hidden river bay, the scout team found ten small boats prepared by Gongsun Sui, Jing Qian and Pang Yu were about to cross the river in batches, and when they bypassed the Tiger Prison Pass by water, a small boat suddenly appeared on the river in front of them.
As soon as Jing Qian waved his hand, the five hundred light soldiers drew their long swords one after another and quickly disappeared into the artemisia grass.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the small boat had already docked, and then six hungry people in tattered clothes jumped off the boat, and Jing Qian, who was hidden in the dark, recognized the hungry man in front of him, who was Wu She's entourage of the dead soldier Dunzi, and immediately put his sword back into the sheath, and came out from the shadows, shouting: "Dunzi, have you brought back the news of Mr. ”
"I've seen General Jing." Dunzi hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Mr. has news." ”
After saying this, Dunzi said again: "Mr. has also escaped from the Liang camp, and on the way, he also met the Great Wei general Chen Fan who broke through from Aocang, and now, Mr. has persuaded Chen Feng to lead the army to defect to the general, and now Chen Feng is attacking the Tiger Prison Pass, and Mr. is also in Chen Feng's army, and the special villain rushed back to report the news to the general." ”
Jing Qian said: "The general is in Luoyang, you should go quickly." ”
Dunzi waved to Jing Qian, and slowly went with the five dead soldiers.
When Jing Qian Zhengyu ordered to cross the river, Pang Yu suddenly pulled his sleeve and said in a low voice: "General, now that Chen Xuan's army is attacking the Tiger Prison Pass, the attention of the defenders must be focused on the East Pass of the Tiger Prison, it is better to take advantage of the darkness to quietly go to the West Pass, and then suddenly launch an attack, the defenders are caught off guard, and it is likely to be successfully attacked by us!" ”
Jing Qian frowned and said, "But the military order given to us by the general is not allowed to fight with the Han army easily?" ”
Pang Yu said anxiously: "Sun Tzu said: The general is outside, and the orders are not subject to the superiors, and the soldiers should be improvisable outside!" ”
Jing Qian was still a little hesitant, although he also knew that if he went to stab the tiger prison now, he had a great chance of succeeding, but the problem was that the general was very strict in governing the army, and the consequences of disobedience were very severe.
Pang Yu became more and more anxious: "Please give the general an order, and all the consequences will be borne by the last general!" ”
"Birds!" Jing Qian waved his hand and said coldly, "Lao Tzu is the official captain who is trapped in the camp, how can he let you take responsibility for a right captain?" After saying this, Jing Qian looked back at a few Sima and Junhou behind him, and shouted, "Listen to the damn listen, take your people and go with Lao Tzu to stab the defenders of the Tiger Prison Pass!" ”
"No!" Several Sima and military marquis suddenly agreed and turned around one after another.
In less than an instant, the five hundred light soldiers left the riverbank, turned back onto the gallop road, and quietly marched to the Tiger Prison Pass ten miles away under the cover of night.
Outside the Tiger Prison Pass, Chen Xuan's army has already begun to attack.
In the afternoon, Chen Xuan's army had already driven to the outside of the Tiger Prison Pass, but there was no cloud ladder, so it did not attack the city immediately, but cut down trees and nailed a simple cloud ladder before starting to attack the city.
The front army was all middle-aged and sick men over 40 years old, led by Hou Chang, the rear army was young people under the age of 20, led by Zhang Chun, and the middle army was between the prime of life between 20 and 40 years old, under the command of Chen Xian.
The first to be sent to the battlefield by Chen Feng was Hou Chang's former army.
The front army was the first to go to the battlefield, with two purposes, one is to consume the sharp energy of the defenders, and the other is to paralyze the will of the defenders.
