Chapter 265: Recovering Two Levels

When the oracle was sent to the third pass, Zheng Hou was writing an impeachment excerpt, and on the night of three days, Xie Jinyan led people to "rob" Lu County, and then went straight to the Beauty Pass, leaving 3,000 Vietnamese troops to block the road, causing the people sent by Lu County to report the letter unable to send the letter out, or he sent people to Lu County to extract grain and grass, only to find out that something was wrong. Zheng Hou was so angry that he ordered troops on the spot and wanted to kill all the 3,000 Vietnamese soldiers, but who knew that these Vietnamese soldiers abandoned their weapons and surrendered on the spot. Damn, if he hadn't been able to kill prisoners at will, he would have sacrificed these bastards to the flag. Now not only can't he kill them, but he has to take care of them to eat, drink, and retreat.

As soon as he thought of this, Zheng Hou vomited blood, Xie Jinyan If he stood in front of him at this time, he would definitely call all his personal soldiers to fight together, and he would not give up until the purple-clothed marquis turned into a pig-headed marquis.

Forget it, the overall situation, the overall situation is important, there can be no infighting at the moment, but you can sue the bastard's black state, but the arrival of the holy oracle completely shattered Zheng Hou's idea of suing the black state, and he dropped the pen on the spot. Damn, how can Your Majesty be biased to the limit, he Xie Jinyan is reckless and disrespectful......

At this moment, the pro-soldier entered the account and reported: "Report ...... Tanmalai reported that there was a war at Meiren Pass, and the Vietnamese army was attacking the city! ”

Zheng Hou immediately looked stunned, put away all his messy thoughts, and shouted, "Explore again." ”

Xie Jinyan, that bastard! hit the case with a punch, robbed Lu County's grain, did not listen to the dispatch, and went out of the army without authorization...... Damn, as long as you have the ability to take down the beauty, Ben Hou will admit it.

Xie Jinyan made up the grain and grass from Lu County, and without stopping, he went straight to the beauty pass. He knows very well that it is taboo to rob grain from Lu County, but he has no way, the Emperor of Western Chu asked him to get rid of Zheng Hou, which is more difficult than anything else, up and down Western Chu, except for the Emperor of Western Chu, I am afraid that no one will trust him and the Yue army, he can only take risks and bypass Zheng Hou directly, as long as the beauty pass is recovered, he is stabbing the sky, and the Emperor of Western Chu can also protect him.

There is no war horse, the war horse can not cross the Jialing Mountain, only rely on the legs, the Vietnamese army came out of Lu County, and it is a rapid journey over the mountains and mountains for two days and one night, when it arrives at the beauty pass, it is before dawn, the sky is the darkest, Xie Jinyan did not let the army rest, although the soldiers have long been extremely sleepy, but this is the most suitable time for a night attack, once the dawn, 100,000 Vietnamese troops are very eye-catching, they can't hide, the tired army expedition, and then want to conquer the beauty pass, the difficulty rises infinitely.

There is no ladder, and all the baggage is left in Jialingdu, but the Vietnamese army is attacking the city, and the dependence on the ladder is very small, because the Vietnamese army itself is very good at climbing, and the steep mountains like Jialing Mountain have been turned over, and the city wall of the beauty pass is difficult for the Vietnamese army.

When Zheng Hou's exploration horse found that there was a war at Meiren Pass, the Yue army had already captured the city gate and was fighting with the Chu army at the city gate, and the Chu army guarding Meiren Pass was less than 20,000 horses, and most of the Chu army was stationed at Liumen Pass, confronting Zheng Hou. It was not easy for Tanma to bypass Liumen Pass, and send the information back to the third pass through a secret mountain trail, when Zheng Hou was ruthless, Xie Jinyan had already commanded 100,000 Vietnamese troops to attack the Beauty Pass, and then turned his head, leaving 80,000 Vietnamese troops to defend the city, and at the same time sent someone to Zheng Hou to send a letter, saying that he would obey Zheng Hou's dispatch and cooperate with Zheng Hou to attack Liumen Pass from both sides. He took the elite of the 20,000 Vietnamese army, rode the war horse taken from the Chu army, did not bring any grain and grass baggage, and rode lightly to Hucheng, which was closest to Meirenguan in Chu Realm.

The lightning raid, not to mention that Zheng Hou did not react, even Liumen Pass, which was closest to the Beauty Pass, failed to send troops to support in time, and when the Chu army sent by Liumen Pass rushed to the bottom of the Beauty Pass, it was faced with the 80,000 Yue troops who guarded the Beauty Pass like a golden soup, so let alone Hucheng.

The terrain of Hucheng, like a kettle, has a small mouth and a large belly, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is an important town of the Chu army on the border, but because of the terrain factors, the defenders are not many, and only five thousand Chu troops are stationed in peacetime, which is enough to hold Hucheng, even in wartime, the Chu army here is only an additional five thousand Chu troops, and there are enough 10,000 horses, and the extra Chu army is not used to defend the city, but to escort grain and grass, and transport it to the Chu army of Meiren Pass and Liumen Pass.

That's right, Hucheng, like Lu County, is a grain land, and Xie Jinyan's goal is to destroy the grain and grass in Hucheng and completely cut off the supply of the Chu army.

However, this time, Xie Jinyan did not rush to attack the city, but took advantage of the terrain to cover the mountains surrounding Hucheng, so that his 20,000 elite Vietnamese troops rested for a night, and at the same time, he sent the Fengyitai secret guards with the army to enter Hucheng to spy on the location of the grain and grass camp.

It is also in line with the bad luck of the Chu State, the new head of Fengyitai knows the Chu State well, he trained out the secret guard, and naturally entered Chu like a fish in water, without much effort, directly through the secret stake set up by the Fusi of Xizhen in Hucheng, and got the information that Xie Jinyan wanted. Back and forth, just in time for dawn, he handed over the map with several grain fields to Xie Jinyan. This efficiency ...... Tsk, let the commander of Xizhen Fusi let Weng Chenghuan know that he can die alive.

Then Xie Jinyan waved his army back, came out of the mountains, and ambushed on the grain transportation road leading from Hucheng to Meirenguan. Fengyitai's secret guards not only found out the grain field, but also found out that Hucheng was going to transport a batch of grain and grass to Meirenguan today. This made Xie Jinyan, who had planned to let the Vietnamese army cross the mountains and mountains to attack Hucheng after night, directly changed his mind, after all, the entrance to Hucheng is too narrow, although the sneak attack can break the city, but the casualties of the Vietnamese army may be greater than the night attack on Meirenguan, and now there is a better way, why not.

The news of the recapture of Meiren Pass has not had time to be transmitted back to Hucheng, and the Hucheng guard will send two thousand men and horses to press grain and grass to Meiren Pass according to the original plan, where can these two thousand Chu troops escape the sneak attack of 20,000 Vietnamese troops, and the tenfold difference in numbers is even more overwhelming, none of them can escape, and they were killed cleanly by Xie Jinyan. The grain and grass were confiscated directly, and someone was sent back to Lu County, the clothes were stripped off, and they were worn on the body of the Vietnamese army in a blink of an eye, and then effortlessly deceived the gate of Hucheng, and killed it like this.

The Hucheng guards were all stunned, where did this Western Chu army come from? When he came back to his senses and mobilized the defenders to surround and block the attack, the two thousand fake "Chu troops" had already set fire to all the grain fields in several places, and then fought and retreated, paying huge casualties, and finally hundreds of people escaped from Hucheng and disappeared into the mountains around the mouth of Hucheng, and even the corners of plainclothes could not be found.

Xie Jinyan did not take the opportunity to defeat Hucheng, the terrain of Hucheng, facing Western Chu, is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but turning around to face Chu State, on the contrary, it is difficult to defend and easy to attack, and it is impossible to hold it if it is captured. He took the remaining 18,000 men and horses to ambush outside Hucheng, the mission of the 2,000 fake "Chu Army", in addition to burning grain and grass, also lured the enemy out of the city, as long as the Hucheng defenders chased out, he could take advantage of the situation to make another military achievement, it is best to capture the guards alive.

It's a pity that this guard is also a cautious person, and he didn't chase him out of the city, Xie Jinyan waited for a long time, and regretted that Mingjin withdrew his troops and returned to the beauty pass.

I didn't rest when I returned to Meiren Pass, just in time for Zheng Hou and the Vietnamese troops who stayed at Meiren Pass to attack Liumen Pass. Liumen Pass is not very easy to fight, there are 100,000 Chu troops stationed in the pass, there are many strong soldiers in the city, and there are also guards against the Vietnamese army, and it is impossible to rely on climbing and night raids to break through the pass.

But now that Zheng Hou has the support of the Vietnamese army, Xie Jinyan cut off the supply of grain and grass for the Chu army, and the grain and grass in Liumen Pass can only supply the Chu army for half a month.

In such a situation, where can Liumen Pass be held, as soon as half a month passes, a group of Chu troops will starve to death. The general of the Chu army is also a person who made a decision on the spot, seeing that the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, without saying a word, he abandoned the pass overnight and went to the direction of Chu and fought and retreated, so Zheng Hou almost didn't spend much effort, he recovered the Liumen Pass, plus the beauty pass recovered by Xie Jinyan, in just a few days, the two passes that fell back to the control of Western Chu, and the good news was transmitted back to Xijing, which not only stabilized the floating people's hearts, but also stimulated some people to roar to enter the Chu State, and even the Chu State was recovered, and the former glory of the Great Chu Dynasty was restored.
