Xinran wiped the slender jade palm, smiled at Sun Shangxiang, and said: "County Lord, this guy seems to be five big and three coarse, and he is too unbeaten, originally he just wanted him to shut up, and with a little force, he was beaten to death, and the slave asked the county lord to punish him." ”

Sun Shangxiang said lightly: "If it's dead, it's dead, drag it down and bury it." ”

Seeing that Na Dubo died tragically, all the soldiers were silent, no one dared to say a word again, and secretly said in his heart, it's not that the dragon is not the river, these girls are really not easy to mess with.

Sun Shangxiang simply dealt with the matter of the prisoners of war, and immediately set up defenses in Tongguan, blocking the Guanluo passage, only entering and not leaving, business travelers from the direction of Luoyang were allowed to enter the customs, and those who came from the direction of Chang'an were all prohibited from passing, but all those who acted suspiciously were detained.

Cao Hong's six-hundred-mile expedited stagecoach was intercepted by the Jing army in Tongguan, and Cao Hong's distress document also fell into the hands of Sun Shangxiang, although Cao Cao in Xudu finally got the news that Liu Ze had marched into Guanzhong, but at least it was delayed for ten days, and the ten days were undoubtedly the most fatal for Cao Cao.

The Jing army waved its division into Guanzhong, and the progress was rapid, from the street pavilion to the arrival of Chang'an City, the Jing army only took a short five days. However, after the troops besieged Chang'an, Liu Ze did not rush to put on an offensive posture, but divided his troops to garrison Baling, Lantian, Weicheng, and Xuanqu, and adopted a posture of isolating but not encircling Chang'an City, and encircling but not fighting.

While besieging Chang'an, Liu Ze ordered Zhang Ren, the acting governor of the Ninth Army, to rush to Tongguan with 40,000 horses and horses to take over the defense of Tongguan from Sun Shangxiang's hands. The walls of Chang'an City are strong and tall, the moat is wide and deep, and Cao Hong's 100,000 horses are not vegetarians, so taking Chang'an in a short period of time is almost an impossible task, and Cao Cao will definitely not sit idly by and watch Chang'an fall, and will definitely send troops to rescue. Defending Tongguan is the top priority of this battle in Guanzhong.

Guanzhong Guanzhong has always been a place of four stops: there are steep Qinling Mountains in the south, Tongguan and the Yellow River in the east are protected by natural hazards, in the west are the lofty mountains of Longshan and Liupan Mountain, and in the north are the Meridian Ridge and Huanglong Mountain on the plateau of northern Shaanxi. Cao Cao wanted to attack Guanzhong mainly by three routes: the northern route: out of the east of the river, from Pubanjin west across the Yellow River into the entry; Middle Road: Follow the main road and enter through Tongguan; South Road: Go south to Wancheng first, detour to Wuguan and Lantian to enter in a roundabout way.

The north road to Pubanjin needs to first force the Yellow River to cross the natural danger, the Yellow River flows through the Grand Canyon between Qin and Jin, and the water flow is turbulent. Although the flow rate from the mouth of the Hukou to the mouth of the Weishui River is relatively gentle, the water here is deep and wide, if the Jing army preemptively sent troops to garrison on the west bank of the Yellow River, it would be difficult to force the Yellow River to cross the Yellow River with Cao Cao's unrivaled water forces.

In addition, the south road takes the Wuguan Road, which is no less difficult than the Meridian Valley, and the lands of Shangyong New City have fallen into the hands of the Jing army. Guan Yu of Xiangyang is even more eyeing, at this time Cao Cao wants to take Wuguan Road from Nanyang. will inevitably face the danger of being attacked on the belly and back, so Cao Cao will definitely not take this risk.

From this, it can be seen that from Luoyang to Chang'an, Cao Cao only has the middle road to go, and Tongguan will definitely become a key point for the two armies of Jing and Wei.

For Liu Ze, the good news is that Sun Shangxiang lives up to high expectations. Successfully marched out of the Meridian Valley, first took Tongguan, stuck Cao Wei's pharyngeal marquis, blocked the news of Guanzhong, and let Cao Cao not react to Guanzhong for at least ten days.

After the death of Yan Yan and Huang Zhong. Zhang Ren, the deputy governor of the Ninth Army Corps, and Wei Yan, the deputy governor of the Eighth Army Corps, were soon appointed by Liu Ze as acting governors, and their military ranks were promoted from deputy general to full general. The Ninth Army was sent to the Eastern Front, and Liu Ze's task to Zhang Ren was simple and clear, to hold Tongguan until the main force of the Jing Army captured Chang'an. Because he wanted to encircle and annihilate Cao Hong's 100,000 horses in Chang'an City, the soldiers and horses besieging the Jing army must occupy a relatively advantageous position, except for the Ninth Army and the 28th Division, Liu Ze could not transfer more men and horses to Zhang Ren, and no one knew how many men and horses Cao Cao would send to rescue Chang'an, Zhang Ren felt a huge pressure on his shoulders.

In the Battle of Jieting, the 25th Division was basically disabled, and there were only about two battalions of troops left, and although the Jing Army had a reserve replenishment system, and the lack of personnel at the front line could be replenished quickly, the casualties of the 25th Division were too great, and it was quite difficult to restore the full strength in a short period of time, and most of the recruits were recruits, and it would take time for the 25th Division's combat effectiveness to be fully restored. This time, Zhang Ren advanced eastward, and the Ninth Army Corps only had the 23rd, 24th, 26th, and 27th divisions, plus the 28th Division of the 1st Army Corps, which was originally stationed in Tongguan, with a total strength of 50,000 troops.

Zhang Ren knows that Guanzhong is absolutely impossible to lose for Cao Cao, Chang'an is surrounded, Cao Cao will do his best to rescue, the battle of Tongguan is the top priority of the battle of Guanzhong, only by holding Tongguan, the Jing army can win the victory of the battle of Guanzhong, once Tongguan is lost, the Jing army will abandon the previous achievements, not only Chang'an can not take it, even the Longxi that has been occupied may not be able to keep, can only return to Hanzhong or even Yizhou.

Therefore, this battle can only be won, can not be defeated, no matter how difficult it is, Zhang Ren has to hold Tongguan, the battle of Jieting, the world has seen the most tenacious side of the Sichuan army, the reason why Liu Ze did not send another legion but sent the ninth legion, is also because the Sichuan army is the most suitable for mountain combat, although Tongguan is not the kind of treacherous mountains and rivers in Shu, but it is also a key pass on the Guanlong Road, and only the Sichuan army can be qualified for this kind of blocking task.

After Zhang Ren arrived at Tongguan, he took over the defense of Tongguan from Sun Shangxiang, and ordered Sun Shangxiang to lead the 28th Division to cross Weishui north and garrison on the west bank of the Yellow River in Pubanjin to prevent Cao's army from smuggling across the Yellow River. The four divisions of the Ninth Army Corps were placed on the Tongguan line and were ready for battle.

When Cao Cao received the news, the Jing army had already completed all the deployments in Guanzhong, and heard that Liu Ze took Longxi with lightning speed, completely annihilated Sima Yi and Guo Huai's troops, and surrounded Chang'an.

After returning to Xudu last year, Cao Cao has been vigorously preparing for the southern expedition, Liu Ze's main force is now in Hanzhong, Yizhou, for Cao Cao, this is a golden opportunity, Jingxiang is empty, Cao Cao can go south, not only can take Jinghuai directly, but also cross the Yangtze River south, and destroy Sun Quan, when the world is decided, Liu Ze is located in the southwest corner, and it will not become any climate.

But just when Cao Cao was complacent and was preparing to raise troops to the south, the news of Guan Long's fiasco came.

"Sima Zhongda misunderstood me!" Cao Cao looked up to the sky and sighed.

In Cao Cao's strategic conception, Guanzhong is the most important link, the reason why it is important is completely based on the defensive position of Guanzhong, Zhou destroyed Shang, Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, Han destroyed Chu, all based on Guanzhong and called the king of the world, since ancient times, those who have won Guanzhong have won the world, Xiao He has frankly told Liu Bang the geographical location of Guanzhong: Guanzhong is surrounded by mountains and rivers, there are four solids, the left Kunhan, the right Longshu can be defended on three sides, and the only east is the princes. It can advance or retreat, attack or defend. Cao Cao is eloquent, how can he not see this. Guanlong, as a rear base, was the cornerstone of Cao Wei's regime and could not be shaken.

Sima Yi offered the defense strategy of Longxi, which made Cao Cao's eyes shine, and because of this, Cao Cao would try his best to override public opinion, and let Sima Yi, a scholar, serve as the governor of Longxi, take charge of Yongliang's soldiers and horses, and defend against Liu Ze's attack. Cao Cao did not expect Sima Yi to defeat Liu Ze, as long as he could defend Guan Long, he would be regarded as having successfully completed the task. Cao Cao laid down heavy troops in Guanlong, a full army of 250,000, Sima Yi in Longxi, and Cao Hong in Guanzhong, each other's surfaces and inside, just to create an impregnable defensive front.

It's a pity that it backfired, Sima Yi not only lost Longxi, but also lost it so quickly that he didn't even have time for Cao Cao to react, Zhao Kuo! Another Zhao Kuo who talks on paper!

Cao Cao was upset, threw away the chess pieces in his hand dejectedly, and sighed at Zhen Mi, who was playing chess with him: "This game of chess, I lost alone."
