Chapter 774: Behind the Governor, there is a hidden master

The location of the south-facing opening of the gorge formed by the Halk Mountains and the Saarmin Mountains. There is a small country called Gumo Country.

Gumo is located at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and the most suitable place for human habitation is Wensu. Wensu is located on the north-south transportation artery, is a famous commercial port on the Silk Road, and has a long history. The terrain is high in the north and low in the south, inclined from northwest to southeast, and is divided into two parts: the northern mountainous area and the southern plain. There are many rivers such as Kuaizhik River, Toshkent River, Tailan River, Muzat River and many other rivers in the territory, as well as many glaciers such as Tomursu and Qiongtailan. "Wensu" also means "water" in Uyghur.

Guan Yunchang, the former governor of the Pingxi king's tent, led the army west to conquer Wusun this time, and set up the camp of the Chinese army on the plain in the south of Wensu, separated by a Tianshan mountain range, more than 300 miles away from the north where he camped, which is Chigu City, the royal capital of the Wusun people.

Geographically, Akiti Castle is located on a high ground. Not far from the city is a river that winds its way south through the Tien Shan Mountains, flowing through the territory of Wensu and finally into the Green Ridge River.

Guan Yu put the big tent of the Chinese army here, which clearly had the intention of provoking and contemptuous of the Wusun people. He seemed to be silently saying to the Wusun people: I just swaggered the big tent of the Chinese army on the plain in the downhill position, and all of them are infantry, if you have a kind of you, you will come to fight with me, and if you don't have a seed, you will continue to play hide and seek with Lao Tzu in the Tianshan Mountains!

The time has come to the middle of April, the temperature is getting warmer and warmer, and the 20,000 soldiers of the Western Army stationed on the small plain of Wensu have taken off their winter clothes and put on light single clothes. They have been idle for more than a month, hiding in the trenches and camps all day long, staring at the vast Tianshan Mountains in the distance, and they don't know what kind of trick the Metropolitan Governor used to pacify Wusun this time.

Although there were only 20,000 Pingxi troops stationed here, and it was very likely that they would have to face 60,000 Kangju and Dawan soldiers who rushed out of the Tianshan Mountains, everyone was not afraid or worried at all. Because of the presence of the Metropolitan Governor Guan Yunchang sitting here, because the current Pingxi Army has changed into light and dexterous composite armor, equipped with more powerful firearms. As long as the Wusun people dare to emerge from the mountain, the soldiers will have the confidence to leave them all, instead of being broken up by the Wusun people and defeated on all sides.

On this day, Guan Yu talked about the current situation with several people in the tent.

Lu Xun, a talented son of Eastern Wu who has been in the Western Regions for half a year, is now Guan Yuzhong in the army, mainly responsible for collecting and sorting out military information, and drafting and issuing various combat orders. Lu Xun first informed everyone of the latest developments of the various armies, and he said: "According to the news sent back by the Shadow Members, the 60,000 Wusun cavalry who went to the north of Jiaohe City to intercept the Xiliang Army and the Three Clans Alliance Army were commanded by General Zuo of the Wusun Kingdom. Intelligence shows that this person is brave and brave, knows how to use troops to deploy formations, and did not suffer much loss in fighting with the Xiliang army. ”

"The 40,000 Wusun cavalry that was originally located in front of us, led by the right general, has completed the task of changing guards with the Kangju and Dawan coalition forces who came to aid Wusun a few days ago, and now their whereabouts are unknown. We originally estimated that the Wusun people would be able to borrow 50,000 to 60,000 reinforcements from Kangju and Dawan, but now it has exceeded our expectations, and 80,000 have arrived. As a result, the defensive pressure on our left, center, and right armies suddenly increased a lot. ”

After listening to Lu Xun's report, Guan Yu didn't have much surprise on his face, but said calmly: "Although the number of frontal enemy troops defending Chigu City has doubled, Kangju and Dawan are guest troops after all, and they may not be really willing to fight for the Wusun people, it is nothing more than to come and put up a scaring formation." If they really dare to come out and besiege one of our troops, they can simply let the armies greet them directly with two weapons, 'swarm' and 'flamingo', and directly scare them away. ”

The vanguard general Wen Chou said with some concern: "Now the combined forces of the Xiliang Army and the Yanqi Che Division that are out of the Tianshan Mountains in the north are blocked and difficult to move, and if the Kangju and Dawan coalition forces only confront us and do not go south to the Tianshan Mountains to fight us, where is the breakthrough in this battle?"

Lu Xun turned his head to look at Guan Yu, with an inquiring look in his eyes. Guan Yu said with a smile: "Now there are no outsiders in the tent, and seeing that the Wusun people are about to enter the urn, Bo Yan will inform General Wen of our plan." ”

Lu Xun then cleared his throat and told Wen Chou the content of this combat operation hidden in the shadows in very clear and concise words. After Wen Chou listened, his face showed a look of admiration and excitement, and he asked Guan Yu: "Dare to ask the Metropolitan Governor, is this strategy from Lu joining the army?"

Guan Yu nodded, which was considered a default.

Wen Chou then said: "King Pingxi really has the wisdom to know people, and he actually sent a great talent like Boyan to the account of the governor of Dadu!"

Lu Xun hurriedly said humbly: "It's a small matter for the Metropolitan Governor to raise it, and I didn't come up with this plan alone. If it weren't for the fact that the Shadow Crew were very good and explored the Tianshan Mountain Range from life to death, we wouldn't have known that there was a passage in that place, and maybe we would have suffered a big loss!"

Guan Yu confessed to Wen Chou: "General Wen can know about this, don't reveal any rumors, we are now in a foreign land, maybe there are Wusun people's eyeliner and fine work everywhere, we must be on guard." Bo Yan's identity is not obvious now, and all the credit is only recorded in secret, and when the great cause can be accomplished in the future, I will personally ask for credit for him!"

While Guan Yu and Wen Chou and others were discussing the military situation, the 40,000 Wusun people who had disappeared from the Tianshan Mountains, under the leadership of General You, were haunting a deserted canyon in the north of Saarmin Mountain. Under the guidance of the Wusun hunters, they led horses that were good at walking rough mountain roads, and carried light weapons such as bows and arrows and sabers, and they walked in the slightly flat and wide places in the river valley, which were large in number but in good order.

As long as they sneak for another three days, 40,000 Wusun people can cross the northern section of the Tianshan Mountains and suddenly appear in Yuanqu City, the rear of the Han army. Judging from the latest news sent back by the fine work in Yuanqu City, there are only 5,000 Han infantry stationed in Yuanqu City now, and the defense of Yuanqu City itself is not solid, and it cannot resist the 40,000 skilled Wusun warriors no matter what.

As long as Yuanqu City was taken, the military supplies of the Han army were robbed and burned, and the people in the city were slaughtered, it could create a huge panic for the Han army and nearby places, and then this successful army turned around and went east, once again copied the back road of Jiaohe City, and wiped out 50,000 Han cavalry at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains.

At that time, even the Kangju and Dawan people, who were unwilling to work for the Wusun people, would definitely not be able to resist rushing out of the Tianshan Mountains and launching the final blow against the 60,000 infantry of the Han army.

Not far ahead, she was like an undefended Yuanqu City, and she was like a veiled girl, full of temptation for the restless Wusun people in her heart.

If these 40,000 Wusun people are allowed to get out of the canyon smoothly, then in another three days, Yuanqu City will usher in an inevitable slaughter and destruction......
