Chapter 351: Pre-Battle Narrative
Only one night later, the scout cavalry sent back the news that the main force of Xiahou Yuan's army had retreated to Bishui Pass.
"How is this possible?"
Luo Zheng was taken aback when he heard the news, "Bishui Pass has been abandoned after the princes fought Dong for the second time, and the strategic location is far less important than Tiger Pass, how could Xiahou Yuan give up Tiger Pass and go to guard Bishui Pass?" ”
Jia Xu said solemnly: "It's very simple, this must be Cao Jun's plan." ”
Luo Zheng said in a deep voice: "What tricks does Cao Jun have? ”
Jia Xu shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, I can only act at the opportunity." ”
Fa Zheng was also frowning and thinking hard, unable to guess what tricks Cao Jun had.
Luo Zheng asked, "Have you ever checked the nearby terrain, is there anything abnormal?" ”
Yan Xing hurriedly got up and replied, "There is nothing abnormal!" ”
Luo Zheng pondered for a while, but he didn't know the essentials, so he had to wave his hand and said in a deep voice: "If you can't guess, don't guess, this general still doesn't believe it, even if Guo Guicai is really in the Xiahou Yuan army, can he still play flowers?" Ordered all departments, tomorrow the three watches to make food and five watches to pull out the camp and raise troops, Yan Xing led 8,000 iron cavalry as the vanguard, and killed Benshui Pass. ”
"Yes!"
All the people got up and answered the command, and they dispersed.
Early the next morning, before dawn, the army rose up and went to the water pass.
Although Bishui Pass has been abandoned, its geographical location is still there. It is very dangerous, since the Cao army has reoccupied the Bishui Pass, it is impossible for the army to bypass it, and only by breaking through the Bishui Pass can it be assured to advance eastward.
In the early morning, the water is closed.
"Strategist, does it have to be like this?"
Xiahou Yuan was riding on a horse, and his face was extremely ugly looking at Guo Jia, who came to see him off.
Guo Jia sighed. said: "Luo Zheng has experienced a hundred battles, and Jia Xu is resourceful. If not, how can Luo Zheng and Jia Xu relax their vigilance. If Luo Zheng and Jia Xu don't let their guard down. How can our army's plan be realized! ”
Xiahou Yuan said: "Our army has 50,000 troops, and Luo Zheng's Xiliang army only has 50,000 infantry, as long as the Tiger Prison Pass is choked, our army has the advantage of strengthening the city, even if it can't defeat Luo Zheng, but it is not a problem to defend it for a year and a half, as long as the lord breaks through Yuan Shao's army, you can turn back to deal with Luo Zheng, how can you let the military division go to death!" ”
Guo Jia said: "General Miaocai also underestimated Luo Zheng too much. Passive beating is never a way, especially in the face of Luo Zheng, even if our army has a strong city to defend, even if the Xiliang army only has 50,000 infantry and cannot break through the Tiger Pass, we can't be trapped and can't be trapped. General Miaocai, don't forget that there are still 30,000 cavalry under Luo Zheng, but the only cavalry in our army is under the command of the lord. If Luo Zheng ordered the army to besiege the city, he would send another 30,000 Xiliang cavalry to bypass the Tiger Prison Pass and raid the flank of the lord's army. What then? Now that the lord is blocking Yuan Shao's army in Guandu, and Sun Ce is attacking Huainan again, the situation is as dangerous as an egg, and there is really no difference between cuò. Moreover, the 100,000 Sichuan army under Luo Zheng was in Guanzhong Tuntian. There can be a rally at any time, and what will our army use to block it at that time? ”
Xiahou Yuan was speechless for a long time, and sighed for a long time. Said: "Even so, you shouldn't let the military advisor send him to death." If the lord knew about it, how could he spare it? A certain is willing to stay and fight to the death with Luo Zheng, and ask the military advisor to go to Xingyang to preside over the overall situation! ”
Guo Jia said casually: "This talented general doesn't have to fight with Zaixia!" In the next though not talented. But it ranks second on the hunting list of the Xiliang Army, and the head seems to be worth a little more than General Miaocai, and it can also make Luo Zheng feel more at ease. Only in this way will we have a chance to wipe out Luo Zheng and his 80,000-strong army in one fell swoop. Otherwise, if Luo Zheng's army is allowed to enter the Central Plains, the foundation of the lord will be ruined. ”
Xiahou Yuan let out a long sigh, and no longer persuaded him, and said with a smile in his eyes: "That is the case, the military advisor will take care!" ”
Guo Jia also arched his hand and said: "General Miaocai, don't worry, although this head is not worth much, if Luo Zheng wants to take it away, it will not be so easy." Please General Miaocai to go to Xingyang to preside over the overall situation, I am afraid of changes! ”
"Treasured by the military advisor!"
Xiahou Yuan stopped talking nonsense, and with a hand, he went with hundreds of personal soldiers like a whirlwind.
Early the next morning, Yan Xing led 8,000 vanguard iron horsemen to the Bishui Pass first, and set up camp outside the city.
When the sun was about to set, Luo Zheng's pro-unified army arrived, and after the army set up camp, Luo Zheng rushed to check the enemy situation outside the Bishui Pass accompanied by Jia Xu, Fa Zheng, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other henchmen and civil and military personnel.
When he was watching, he saw the West Gate of Bishui Pass open, and a military horse rushed out.
Luo Zheng fixed his eyes and saw hundreds of soldiers rushing over with a chariot, lined up dozens of paces away.
Cheng Ying hurriedly came over immediately and said, "Lord, this is Guo Jia." ”
"This is Guo Jia?"
Luo Zheng hadn't seen Guo Jia yet, so he couldn't help but take a closer look when he heard the words.
I saw that this person's eyes were extremely energetic, his bearing was extraordinary, and he had a bit of a chic and wild taste, but his face was slightly pale with a hint of sickness, and he seemed to be terminally ill, and he might be taken away by Lord Yama at any time.
When he was watching, he heard Guo Jialang say in a loud voice: "Where is General Luo Zheng, please see me!" ”
Luo Zheng urged him to step forward and said, "Guo Jia, as the general expected, you are really making trouble!" ”
Guo Jia said casually: "The general is famous and has brilliant military achievements, how dare he show his ugliness in front of the general." I heard that the general was young and promising, Dingxi Qiang, Pingmo North, chasing Hu in the border wilderness, raising the prestige of the country outside the Saiwai, and supporting the people of the Han Dynasty, although the famous generals of the Han Dynasty were also inferior, I didn't want to be so young, and the true Jiao Jia Haosheng envied! ”
Luo Zheng laughed three times and said: "I have heard the name of Mr. early, when General Ben entered the Central Plains in the past, he also went to Yangzhai to visit, and it is a pity that he didn't want to miss it. Now that Cao Cao's defeat is imminent, why don't you surrender as soon as possible and build a forever cause with this general? ”
Guo Jia said lightly: "Thanks to the general's love, I am really flattered." However, Cao Gong is not thin to stay down, as the old saying goes, the soldier dies for his confidant, and if he wants to seek for Cao Gong, he can only have the good intentions of the general! ”
"It's a pity!"
Luo Zheng nodded, but sighed regretfully, and then said, "If the Venerable Mother comes, can the gentleman surrender?" ”
Guo Jia was stunned, and then suddenly said: "No wonder when I went back to Yangzhai next time, my mother disappeared, and it turned out that she was invited to Guanzhong by the general." The captives are small, doesn't the general feel that he is inadequate? ”
Luo Zheng laughed and said: "General Ben only seeks results, not the process. And the Central Plains is in turmoil, and the general will invite his mother to Liangzhou is also a good intention, who would have thought that you would take refuge in Cao Cao, the general has taken care of his mother for several years, you should always say something, right?
