Chapter 259: Building the Pass

Listening to Jia Xu's inquiry, Hu Zhenyin's eyes became cold: "The wounded soldiers stayed in Luoyang, pretending to be a big camp, deceiving the world, Li Dao Guo Yan led 20,000 cavalry to detour to Nanyang to attack Wuguan, after General Niu was killed, a certain collection of foot soldiers, there are 40,000 or 50,000, but in the past two days, a lot has been lost in the mountains, but now with the addition of Wenhe soldiers and horses, just go west, you can break Chang'an in one fell swoop and avenge Dong Gong!" ”

Speaking of this, Hu Zhen paused, and couldn't help but say: "Dong Gong was killed, if it weren't for Wen He's clever plan, I would wait for a break, this time to break through Chang'an, Wen He should remember the first credit!" ”

"What a merit for this life-saving plan." Jia Xu's voice was still flat: "If it weren't for Wang Yun being in power, if he wanted to punish all the people of Liangzhou, we would have returned to my hometown to live in seclusion, so why wouldn't this be the case." ”

Hu Zhen said hatefully: "Wang Yun is narrow-minded, Cai Zhonglang was killed just by Dong Gong's weapon, not to mention us, as Wen He said, if we abandon the army and return to our hometown, I am afraid that Wang Yun will order a pavilion chief to kill us in a short time." ”

Jia Xu's eyes moved slightly, and said: "This time I led the crowd to the west, to attack Chang'an, to avenge Dong Gong, if it can be done, our safety can be guaranteed, we should serve the country to conquer the world, if not, then return to Liangzhou, there is also a way to retreat." ”

As the world is, as the supreme ruler, a careless attitude and behavior will often cause panic among those below. Wang Yun insisted on killing Cai Yong, which made the people of Liangzhou panic, even if he was wise and calm like Jia Xu, he also had a great fear of Wang Yun, and he could only take risks when life and death were in his hands.

Or Jia Xu's move may not be wrong, the court battle is extremely dangerous, if Jia Xu and others are really captured, under the influence of the Yuan family's forces, Wang Yun may not be able to kill these Dong Zhuo generals.

After sunset. A large number of torches were lit in the southeast of Huayin County, and nearly 10,000 Qiang Hu soldiers had gathered here at this time. After dinner, the Qiang soldiers rested in the camp.

And on the Qinling Trail. The Qianghu soldiers were still pouring out, and in the trail, the torches were like a long dragon, winding deep into the Qinling Mountains.

In the big tent, Hu Zhen was still discussing with Jia Xu secretly.

"Wenhe." After Hu Zhen was full, under the firelight, he looked energetic: "It is estimated that all the soldiers and horses in the mountains will not be able to leave the mountain until dawn, I will wait for tomorrow at noon, can I?" ”

Jia Xu shook his head. Said: "The soldiers are fast, now the soldiers and horses out of the mountain have exceeded 10,000, and the time can be more than 20,000, the 20,000 soldiers and horses plus the Huayin soldiers and horses, there are 30,000, have eaten, rest for two hours, order the troops at the time, and dispatch at the time." Take advantage of the night to break the Song wing first, collect his soldiers and horses, and when there are 50,000, hurry to the west. Don't hesitate. As for the rest of the soldiers in the mountains, they can eat and rest, and then they can come. ”

Hu Zhen's eyes lit up: "Wenhe's plan is wonderful." When attacking Song Yi, Erection Confucianism can be guarded. It's sure to be broken in one fell swoop! ”

Jia Xu said: "Song Yi's subordinates are mostly the old department of Dong Gong, and the general plays the banner. ordered the soldiers to shout, when they can mess up the morale of the army, they will get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Hu Zhen nodded again and again, but suddenly thought of something, his face was a little ugly, and said: "Wenhe, now that the soldiers and horses of Hedong occupy Shaanxi County and Mianchi, what should we do if the soldiers and horses of Hedong take the opportunity to attack from behind?" ”

Thinking of the Hedong soldiers and horses encountered in Mianchi a few days ago, it still makes Hu Zhen shudder, and the Qiang Hu soldiers under him are also elite, but compared with the Hedong soldiers and horses, it is like a vicious dog than a tiger, the difference is too far, not only the combat effectiveness, but also the problem of military appearance, the Hedong soldiers and horses are strict and slaughtered, so that Hu Zhen can't help but think of the legendary Warring States Qin soldiers, strict discipline, action is like one, everywhere passed, invincible.

Against these soldiers again, Hu Zhen did not have any confidence.

Hearing Hu Zhen mention the soldiers in Shaanxi County and the Mianchi River, Jia Xu's face remained unchanged, and he said: "The Hedong side has taken precautions, built a pass in Taolinsai, and closed Huayin, so that no one knows, and now we are waiting for the action, even if the Hedong Army finds out, it will be difficult to break through this pass in the short term, if you want to turn the Yellow River and go up, it will take at least three days, so we must enter Chang'an within three days, otherwise the situation is critical." ”

"Break through Chang'an in three days, this matter is easy." When Hu Zhen heard that Jia Xu had actually built a pass in Taolin to block the westward advance of Hedong's soldiers, his heart was suddenly relieved, and he laughed: "Wenhe, building a pass, what a wonderful plan." ”

Taolinsai is located in the east of Huayin County, the terrain is quite high, a pass, it will block the road from Guanzhong to Guandong, the east of Huayin County, including Shaanxi County, Mianchi, Xin'an, Hangu Pass, Luoyang, are separated from Guanzhong by a pass.

Jia Xu didn't know that in history, many years later, there was a person who made the same choice as him, and this person was Cao Cao, who built Tongguan in Taolin.

Of course, Tongguan is a gate, and the project is quite large, but Jia Xu only built a pass at this time, which is quite easy and very simple, because Jia Xu does not seek the long term, but only wants to stop the Hedong army in Shaanxi County and Mianchi for a while.

But this has to be called a strange plan, when building the pass, Jia Xu used the sergeant to send the sergeant to block the front and rear sections, and it can be built in more than ten days, which can be described as hiding from the sky and the sea, and Ji Ping and Chang'an don't know at all.

Hu Zhen thought that the Hedong Army was intercepted, the biggest worry and shadow in his heart dissipated, he was happy for a while, and then he thought of something, his eyes flashed, and he asked Jia Xu: "Qinling Trail, it is not easy to explore, it must be done in two or three months, could it be that Wenhe expected the Dong Guild earlier?" ”

Jia Xu's eyes drooped slightly, and he said lightly: "Don't think about winning, think about defeat first, the Hedong army is on the side across the river, like a tiger watching, Xu has to plan for the worst, and leave a way to retreat first." ”

Hu Zhen was relieved, he naturally didn't know, Jia Xu knew much more than him, and a lot of early preparations were also aware of something.

Ji Ping and his entourage were assassinated on the river, and then chased into the mountain, just on the bank of Huayin, the momentum is not small, with Jia Xu's caution, he will naturally not fail to investigate afterwards, and he has a good relationship with Zhang Ji, and when he found Zhang Xiu, he naturally noticed more things.

Although many things were just speculations at the beginning and could not be determined, after the incident, with Jia Xu's wisdom, he naturally expected seven or eight, including who Dong Zhuo died at, and who in Chang'an secretly contributed to the troubles, which made Wang Yun anxious and so on.

Just thinking of his youngest son Jia Ji, Jia Xu is also hesitant many times. Jia Xu has a cautious personality, has no ambitions, and in the troubled times, he just wants his family to be stable.

At this time, Hu Zhen asked again: "Wenhe, I don't know who is stationed in Fenglingdu in Hebei County from the Hedong side?" ”

Fenglingdu in Hebei County and Huayin County across the river are opposite, and now they are also the focus of Jia Xu's flank defense.

Jia Xu shook his head: "The banner of the Fenglingdu garrison is 'Qianniu', there are about more than 3,000, but the generals of the army have never hung the banner, I don't know their name, and the 'Qianniu' army has not heard of such an army in the Hedong Army before, and it is the first time I have heard of it."
