Chapter 387: Containment

The 30,000-strong army rolled down, and there were few small people in Liyang City, and the hundreds of defenders immediately dispersed.

The army entered the city to rest.

The scouts on both sides were like a flock of crows, shuttling back and forth on both sides of the Weishui all day long.

Du's pre-garrison of Liyang means that it doesn't make much sense for Sima Lian to capture Jingyang.

The Liang army could enter Zuo Fengyi to the north, enter Bingzhou to the north, and return to Hexi from Henan.

In this era, Guanzhong was vast and sparsely populated, and Qianghu went south, leaking everywhere.

Du was originally born in Jingzhao and was extremely familiar with the geography of Guanzhong.

And the time is just into the autumn harvest in August, Du pre-harvested Weidong Tuntian, and the army has plenty of grain and grass.

"Since Changshi wants to face the Wei army here, why don't you go deep and high?" Zhou Yu suggested.

The war is approaching, and everyone's fate is tied together, even if there is a slight mustard in their hearts, they can only be suppressed.

Du Yu patiently explained: "Our army is in the heart of the enemy, and if it moves, it will live, and if it does not move, it will die. ”

"The general wants to abandon Liyang?"

"Yes!"

The level of the two is not at the same level, Zhou Yu was born at the bottom of the Wuwei battalion, and he is good at rushing and killing, but not good at strategic decision-making.

Most of the generals under Yang Zheng are like this.

"Newspaper-" A few horsemen galloped over, "Gu Zang has a military order!" ”

The eyes of the soldiers who were being deployed at the head of the city all drifted over.

Du Yu, Zhou Yu, Jiang Faye and more than a dozen people knelt and saluted.

The eyes of Zhou Yu and the others moved.

Jiang Faye looked a little nervous.

It is likely that the lives of these 30,000 troops were on this piece of paper.

The situation in Yongliang is changing too fast, a few days ago he was still in the north of Dongwei Bridge, sitting and watching the battle of Longyou, and today he has captured Liyang.

And Longyou, the winner was divided within ten days.

If the military order asks Du Pre to withdraw immediately, Du Pre's deployment will be immediately disrupted.

The cavalry at the head threw off the saddle and dismounted, holding a silk in his hand, with a serious face, "The general's order: The matter of Weibei, the advance and retreat are all determined by the governor!" ”

"Obey!" Du Chang breathed a sigh of relief, took the military order with both hands, and turned to face the generals, "The general entrusts me with the great matter of rise and fall, and the righteousness of the monarch and the minister is like this, how can I not repay him with death?" You have also received great favor from the generals, or you have been drawn into the army, or you have been born as slaves, and now the great enemy is in front, if you do not die, how different are you from beasts! ”

"Willing to die!" Jiang Faye took the lead and half-knelt down.

"May death be repaid!" Meng Yu also knelt down.

Zhou Yu also knelt down.

The surrounding generals and soldiers knelt on a city wall.

If they had a lot of complaints about Du Pre before, and they dared not speak out, now they just want to break the enemy.

Du pre-borrowed Yang Zheng's military order and completed the pre-war mobilization in an instant.

After that, Du Yu took Jiang Faye, Meng Yu and others to personally inspect the surrounding terrain.

Liyang was originally the capital of Qin, and Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty, also set the capital here after the three Qins.

The terrain here is high and gentle, there are Jing Plateau in the north, and the broken plateau on the west bank of the Ishikawa River in the east, stretching for dozens of miles.

"Report to the general, Sima Ban's 50,000 Chinese troops have arrived in Weinan! The state and Taibu have arrived in Chang'an. The scout rushed to report.

"Where is Sima Lianbu now?" Du asked in a deep voice.

Although he was dressed in a wide robe and armor, no one dared to underestimate this scholar.

"It has crossed the Zhengguo Canal and is stationed in Pinyang." The scout replied.

Pinyang is in the north of Liyang, which just blocks the road to Du Pre's retreat to the north.

This shows that Sima Lian is also an extraordinary general.

How similar is the battle of today to the battle when Biqiu Jian was besieged and killed?

Surrounded on three sides, Mount Tai presses the top.

"It's a great place for a decisive battle." Jiang Faye's eyes were blazing.

"Order the armies, give up Liyang, and take Jingyang directly!" Du Yu ordered again.

"Isn't that going back again?" Confused.

"Don't say much, do what you are told! The whole army only carried food, grass, armor, and ordnance, and all other belongings were abandoned! ”

After resting in Liyang for two days, the 30,000-strong army turned to the west.

The army was full of complaints, and they came all the way and robbed a lot of good things, and now they are all discarded.

It's just that no one dares to question Du Yu's military order, and in front of the gate of Weibei, the more than 100 heads are still fresh in their memories.

The Wei army was never able to complete the siege.

Pinyang's 20,000 paces can only double the road again, rushing to occupy Jingyang before Du Pre.

Sima Ban's 50,000-strong army also accelerated its march, rushed across Weishui, and occupied Liyang first.

Zhou Tai also led the army to cross the Weishui.

Unexpectedly, Du had already set up camp when he arrived at Gaoling, and the army rested for three days, always allowing the soldiers to maintain their physical strength.

Du Yu also slaughtered more than 1,000 pack horses, rewarded the whole army, and let Xuan Yilang continue to inspire the soldiers.

Therefore, the morale of the 30,000-strong army has always been maintained.

"Nandu Weishui!" Du Pre ordered again.

The soldiers had long been accustomed to Du Pre's style.

Zhou Yu was the first to understand Du Yu's thoughts, the Wei army was surrounded on three sides, but the shortcomings of the Wei army were also in the three armies, and every time there was a small move on their side, the other party would inevitably make a big move, and spend more energy to complete the encirclement.

Guanzhong is a great plain, and it is not so easy to complete the siege.

The trace of jealousy towards Du Yu gradually turned into admiration.

What used to be passive cooperation has now become active cooperation.

Unconsciously, Du pre-let this coalition army composed of Haoqiang's private army, Qiang cavalry, and pro-guard battalion twist into a rope.

Du is very familiar with the terrain of Guanzhong, where to wade across the river, where to station troops, and where to bypass, all of which are clear.

The 30,000 army was easily encircled by the 80,000 army.

The south of Weishui is full of anointed land, just harvested in autumn, and there is military food everywhere.

As soon as many Tuntian saw the menacing Liangzhou army, they had already run away without a trace.

The Wei army learned smartly this time, and Sima Ban's 50,000 Chinese troops were stationed in Gaoling, and Zhou Tai and Sima Lian went south to chase the Liangzhou army.

Many times, people who chase people will inevitably have a delusion.

I think that the person being chased can't beat me, otherwise why would I run?

This is especially true of the Great Army.

Sima Ban and Zhou Tai could still be cautious, but Sima Lian couldn't help it.

This is like a gambler with a trump card in his hand, the other party always does not collide with him head-on, even if Sima Lian can stand it, his Wuhuan and Southern Huns can't stand it.

Wuhuan is well-known all over the world.

Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Wuhuan cavalry has been the horses and thugs of the Central Plains, and they have been seen in the former Youzhou Assault Cavalry.

In the second year of Xingping at the end of the Han Dynasty, Wuhuan helped Yuan Shao to break Gongsun Zan and beheaded 20,000.

After Wei Wu attacked Wuhuan in the north, 200,000 captives moved to Youzhou, and the people were arranged, and Wuhuan became a "famous horse in the world" to fight in the north for Cao Wei.

Now, this famous horse naturally fell into Sima Zhao's pocket.

None of this escaped Du Yu's eyes.

On the land of Guanzhong, there are a large number of Liangzhou fine works.

The scouts were even more crowded, staring at the movements of the Wei army day and night.

"Sima Lian going south?" Du Pre's always calm eyes showed a burst of murderous intent.

"Exactly, the scouts of Team E caught three Hun deserters yesterday and tortured important news, Wuhuan and Huns were tired of running around, there were many smugglers, and there were many complaints in the army, and Sima Lian had to go south." The scout arched.

Desertion is normal.

In fact, the Liangzhou army also escaped.

But because of Xuanyilang's presence, it can be maintained within an acceptable range.

"The fighter has arrived!" Du Yu was already on the ground with his sword, and his eyes swept over the generals.
