In fact, Zhang He's judgment was not wrong, he suspected that the main force of the Han army had quietly evacuated Jingcheng Pass and killed Taiyuan, if that was the case, Taiyuan was in danger, but only sent a small number of soldiers to investigate, and it would inevitably be intercepted by the Han army patrol.

After Zhang He observed for a day, he had confirmed that his judgment was correct, and then personally led the army to kill the Han army camp, although his judgment was not wrong, but he still fell into Zhuge Liang's plan, Zhuge Liang was divided into 30,000 troops to kill Taiyuan, but left 10,000 troops, ambushed in the woods on both sides of the pass, Zhang He led the army to kill, and fell into Zhuge Liang's trap, and was finally surrounded, Zhang He was cornered and forced to surrender.

Zhang He surrendered, and the Cao army of Jingcheng Pass also surrendered, so that the Han army occupied Jingcheng Pass without blood.

From the very beginning, Zhuge Liang knew that Taiyuan was short of food, so he concentrated his forces to feint Jingcheng, laid a trap for the Cao army in Taiyuan City, and then borrowed the heavy snow to cover the golden cicada shell, and the 30,000 army returned to Taiyuan quickly, and the 10,000 northbound army led by Guan Yu converged.

Xiahou Shang really fell into Zhuge Liang's trap, he personally led 10,000 troops north to seize the Huns' cattle and sheep according to Mao Jue's plan, but was ambushed by the 40,000 army led by Guan Yu halfway, the two armies fought all night, and at dawn, Cao's army was finally defeated on the whole line.

On the vast snowfield, there were Cao soldiers running everywhere, but the Han army laid a net in all directions, and the Cao soldiers had nowhere to flee for their lives.

Xiahou Shang was covered in blood, he led more than 300 personal soldiers to kill a bloody road, fled to the west, and on all sides were groups of Han troops surrounding the Cao army deserters, shouting that the sound of killing shook the sky.

At this time, the sky was not yet bright, the morning light was hazy, and under the cover of the morning light, Xiahou Shang was able to continue to break through the net of the Han army, and he was about to break out of the encirclement, but at this moment, an army rushed in front, about 3,000 people, and the word 'Guan' was written on a big banner of hunting and fluttering.

Xiahou Shang secretly complained, he knew that he might have encountered Guan Yu, the main general of the Han army, so he turned his horse's head and ran south, trying to escape the attention of the Han army on the opposite side.

Although Guan Yu surrendered to the Han State with his eldest brother Liu Bei, he was always sick and refused to serve Liu Jing, and Liu Jing did not force him, so he and Zhang Fei went to Hexi and Hehuang to inspect the Han army in various places.

But as Guan Yu's understanding of the Han army gradually deepened, the prejudice in his heart was also eliminated little by little, and he finally realized that the Han army would unify the world sooner or later, which was not only the strength of the Han army, but also a spiritual atmosphere.

All parts of the Han country are thriving, production is restored, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the soldiers are actively trained, a recruit who has not been in the army for a long time, after a few months of hard training, can become an elite soldier, which neither the Cao army nor the former Jiaozhou army can do, this is not a means of training, but morale, and the high-spirited soldiers make the recruits quickly reborn.

It was the thriving atmosphere of the Han Kingdom that finally made Guan Yu change his mentality and began to try to re-devote himself to a new career, but Guan Yu did not expect that from the very beginning, Liu Jing appointed him as the chief general of the state and fought alone with Zhuge Liang, this trust made Guan Yu feel an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

It's just that he doesn't show his mood, he won't show his feelings, but go all out in Bingzhou, with Liu Jing's overall strategic layout, Liu Jing asked to complete the battle of Bingzhou by the end of the year, and open up the strategic artery to Hebei.

Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang agreed on a plan to seize the state, taking advantage of the weakness of the Cao army's lack of grain and grass, feints to attack Jingcheng, and lure the Taiyuan Cao army out of the city to plunder grain, Zhuge Liang's strategy was indeed successful.

Just when Guan Yu led the army to patrol the battlefield, they unexpectedly bumped into Xiahou Shang, the commander of the Cao army, although Guan Yu did not know that the other party was Xiahou Shang, but the other party had hundreds of cavalry to follow, and he realized that this must be an important person in the Cao army.

Guan Yu urged the war horse, holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife to chase after the Cao army, and the three thousand Han troops followed closely, Xiahou Shang of course knew that Guan Yu was powerful, he was even more flustered, and kept whipping the war horse, but at this moment, another interception Han army appeared in front, about a thousand people.

Seeing that Cao Jun refused to stop his horse, the head of the tooth couldn't help but be furious, and shouted: "Spears are lined up, block their way!" ”

A thousand soldiers quickly lined up a spear formation on the snow, blocking the way of Xiahou Shang's cavalry, and on the left was a dry ditch as wide as seven or eight zhang, which the war horse could not cross, so Xiahou Shang had to turn his horse's head and run to the right, but was stopped by Guan Yu.

Guan Yu waved the Qinglong Yanyue Knife and said coldly: "Get off the horse and surrender, you can avoid death!" ”

Where is Xiahou Shang willing to surrender, he gritted his teeth, urged the horse to rush towards Guan Yu, distraction is a shot, Guan Yu was furious, waving a knife to meet him, although Guan Yu is more than fifty years old, but he is brave and fierce, the battle is not three, Guan Yu backhanded a knife, is slashing the back of Xiahou Shang's neck, 'pounce!' With a bang, Xiahou Shang's head flew up a foot high, blood spurted out of his neck, and the war horse ran a few steps, and the corpse was planted from the horse.

Guan Yu killed Xiahou Shang, waved his hand, and coldly ordered: "Kill!" ”

Thousands of Han troops swarmed up, surrounded Xiahou Shang's 300 personal soldiers, and slaughtered for a while, only for a moment, all 300 personal soldiers were killed by the Han army, and none of them survived.

Guan Yu picked up Xiahou Shang's head with the tip of his knife, looked at it carefully for a moment, and couldn't help sneering, "With this head, how long can Taiyuan City be guarded?"

．．．．．．．．

Soon after Xiahou Shang led his army to leave Taiyuan City and go north, the military advisor Mao Jue had a feeling of unease, which came from the scout's report, and no abnormalities were found around Taiyuan City.

If his scouts found that there was a Han army patrol nearby, he was not worried, this is a normal phenomenon, even if the Han army attacked Jingcheng with all its might, it would not turn a blind eye to Taiyuan City, and there was no Han army monitoring Taiyuan City, which was a bit abnormal, there was only one possibility, the Han army deliberately left Taiyuan City.

All night, Mao Jue spent the whole night in anxiety, after dawn, defeated soldiers began to appear under the city of Taiyuan, Mao Jue was almost about to collapse, and what he was most afraid of finally happened.

On the north city wall, a fleeing tooth general cried to Mao Jue: "Last night at the fourth watch, we were surrounded by tens of thousands of Han troops in Yushugang, thirty miles to the north, although General Xiahou led his brothers to fight desperately with the Han army, but they were outnumbered, and the morning was finally defeated by the Han army. ”

Mao Jue only felt that his eyes were black for a while, and after a while, he stabilized his mind and asked, "What about General Xiahou?" ”

"I only heard that he was chased by Guan Yu's army, and I don't know what the final result is."

Mao Jue was worried in his heart, Xiahou Shang was chased by Guan Yu, could he still escape? At this moment, there was a sudden sound of 'Boom!' from afar. Boom! The sound of war drums was like muffled thunder, as if above the clouds in the distance.

Mao Jue's face turned pale, got up and walked towards the battlements, the Cao soldiers on the head of the city were alarmed, and rushed to the city together, only to see a black line appear in the distance, gradually approaching the city, getting closer and closer, the black line became a huge black carpet, waving flags, overwhelming, behind were black pressed soldiers, spears were like forests, armor was shining, and they were particularly murderous in the snow-covered field.

Mao Jue gasped, there were at least 50,000 troops, and there were only 10,000 defenders left in Taiyuan City, if the Han army attacked Taiyuan City, would they be able to hold it?

The life and death of the main general Xiahou Shang is unknown, the deputy general Guo Huai followed Xiahou to Yedu, and another deputy general Zhang He was sent to guard the well, there are only three captains in the city, none of them are generals who can stand alone, only he Mao Jue can lead the overall situation, but he is a strategist after all, and he is in the line of advice, let him lead the army to defend the city, his ability is far inferior to Xiahou Shang.

Mao Jue had no choice but to order: "General Yang and General Lu will defend the northern city, General Zhao will lead the troops to defend the southern city, and the east and west cities will each leave 300 people to patrol, and there is no need to deploy defenses for the time being." ”

With Mao Jue's direct command, the Han army did not have many troops, and it would definitely concentrate on attacking the northern city, and the southern city was also possible, but due to the influence of the terrain on the east and west, it is estimated that the Han army would not attack.

At this time, Captain Yang Lin ran over to Mao Jue and said, "Military Division, if the trebuchet is deployed?" ”

Mao Jue was stunned, looked back at the tall trebuchet behind him, he suddenly had a sense of powerlessness in his heart, he knew what the problem was, forty heavy trebuchets on the head of Beicheng, each trebuchet needed a hundred people to pull the hair, then it would take four thousand people, but he only had a total of 10,000 defenders, where could he divide the troops, even if it was a temporary requisition of people, but it also needed training to use, it was too late.

Mao Jue thought for a moment and said: "Only twenty trebuchets are used to launch boulders, and after the Han army has entered a hundred steps, they will give up the trebuchet." ”

"Obey!"

Yang Lin saluted, turned around and hurried away, at this time, a soldier next to him stepped forward and whispered: "Military advisor, the Han army has sent a messenger, do you want to see it?" ”

Mao Jue pondered for a moment and nodded, "Bring it on!" ”

Soon, a scribe was led up by the soldiers, and the scribe stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "Han soldier Cao engaged in Zhang Hong came to see Mao Junshi on the order of General Guan. ”

"What do you have to say?" Mao Jue said coldly.

Zhang Hong glanced back at the Cao Jun soldiers behind him, the soldiers hurriedly handed a sword to Mao Jue, Mao Jue's heart jumped sharply, he recognized this sword, this is Xiahou Shang's saber, it is actually in the hands of the Han army, is it

Zhang Hong did not hide it, and said frankly: "Xiahou Shang has died in the chaos of the army, there is no Cao army outside Taiyuan City, General Zhang He also surrendered to the Han army, only Taiyuan City remains, General Guan hopes that Mao Junshi can see the general trend clearly, do not let innocent soldiers die, surrender as soon as possible, in order to get the name of the posthumous death." ”

Mao Jue smiled miserably, Xiahou Shang was really killed, and he said slowly after a while: "You go back and tell Guan Yu, loyal ministers do not serve the second master, although I Mao Yu is only a shallow learner, and I have no power to restrain the chicken, but at least I still have dignity and integrity, and he is willing to fight him to the death!" ”
