In October of the second year of Jingfu, Wang Xingyu was young and strong in Suining Town, and waved Fengxiang.

"What are you doing here?" On Fengxiang City, Li Maozhen looked at the Suing Army who was surging like a tide and scolded angrily.

In these years, the southern and northern wars have been conquered, and a large territory has been laid, Li Maozhen's majesty has become more and more vigorous, and the killing spirit has become heavier, wearing a python robe, and the king's bearing has come naturally, and the surrounding generals hurriedly bowed to the ground, bowing their heads, not daring to look at him.

Wang Xingyu didn't do it, and as soon as he did, he came to the nest, and all the family resources of the Suining Army were staked.

An army of 40,000 surrounded Feng Xiang and prepared to take Feng Xiang in one go.

Li Maozhen was caught off guard, and in several field battles, he was defeated by the madman-like Wang Xingyu.

Li Maozhen could only hide in Fengxiang City and defend the fortified city.

It's not that Li Maozhen can't beat him, but he didn't expect Wang Xingyu to really have the courage to play with him.

What is Li Maozhen's identity? Fengxiang Festival envoy, King Qi, with 100,000 male soldiers, sitting on more than 20 states in Guannei Road and Shannan West Road, is now blocked by Wang Xingyu in Fengxiang like this!

But it was precisely because of his large territory and the division of troops to garrison that Wang Xingyu was given an opportunity.

"Father, why should I worry, I think Wang Xingyu is old and confused, we don't go to trouble him, he sent it to the door himself, and when Xingyuan's reinforcements arrive, we will take the opportunity to take down Suining!" Li Maozhen was beside a fully armored military general.

This person is Li Jiyun, the adopted son of Li Maozhen, who has followed him to fight for many years, brave and fearless, with outstanding merits, and is the first general of Fengxiang.

That being said, Li Maozhen always felt that things were not quite right.

Wang Xingyu has always been respectful to himself, and he dares to bite himself after eating a bear's heart leopard? Years of marching have created Li Maozhen's keen intuition, and there seems to be an undercurrent involved.

In fact, Li Maozhen has always disagreed with the transfer of troops from Xingyuan, and his army is divided into two parts, one in Fengxiang to suppress Guanzhong, and the other in Xingyuan to watch Shuzhong.

He is watching in Shu, and Wang Jian in Shu is also watching him.

Xingyuan's army moved, will Wang Jian take advantage of the fire to rob?

Li Maozhen didn't know Wang Jian's ambitions, but this Wang Xingyu bit up like a mad dog and blocked under Fengxiang City, Fengxiang has three longs and two shorts, and he Li Maozhen lost half his life if he didn't die.

His original strategy was to unite the three towns of Guanzhong, persecute the imperial court, hold Zhaozong hostage, and learn from Cao Cao to coerce the princes of the Son of Heaven.

The god-damned Wang Xingyu suddenly turned back and caught himself off guard. Isn't it just the King of Qin? As for making a fuss? Li Maozhen thought depressedly.

After the army of Xingyuan City returned to Guanzhong, he left his adopted son Li Jiqi to defend the city and guard against Wang Jian.

Li Jiqi's original name was Sang Hongzhi, and he was also a veteran general who followed Li Maozhen in the southern and northern wars.

For Wang Jian in Shuzhong, Li Ji sneered, and often said in the army that the Shu people were as timid as rats, boasting that they could take Sichuan and Shu with only 5,000 people from their headquarters.

Therefore, the Xingyuan army returned to Fengxiang, Li Jiqi didn't care too much, five thousand brave soldiers in the headquarters, and Xingyuan Jiancheng, he hoped that Wang Jian could come, if he could defeat Wang Jian, his status in the Fengxiang army undoubtedly surpassed Li Jiyun.

However, although Li Jiqi looked down on Wang Jian, he was well prepared, the city was on alert, and many scouts were sent to reconnoiter in Hanzhong every day.

Everyone's eyes were on Shuzhong.

In November of the second year of Jingfu, Wang Jian lived up to expectations and sent troops.

When the report of the Hanzhong battle reached Chang'an, Li Ye breathed a long sigh of relief. Wang Jian is the most important part of the whole plan, if he does not send troops, Wang Xingyu will definitely not be able to defeat Li Maozhen, and Wei Ning is very likely to be swallowed by Li Maozhen, so that even if Li Ye swallows the Zhenguo army, he will face an increasingly powerful Li Maozhen.

Tongguan is the gateway of Guanzhong, built by Cao Cao at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and repaired by the Western Wei Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, it is the first pass of this era.

The situation here is dangerous, there are Qinling Mountains in the south, there is the forbidden valley in the southeast, there are twelve cities in the south of the valley, there are Wei and Luo Erchuan in the north and the Yellow River hugs down the pass, the west is near Huayue, the surrounding mountains are even mountains, the peaks are even peaks, the valley is deep and the precipice is absolute, the mountain is high and the road is narrow, there is a narrow sheep intestine trail in the middle, and only one car and one horse can be allowed to go back and forth.

The poet Du Fu once visited this place and wrote, "The father-in-law sees the important place, narrow and narrow for bicycles." Struggle hard to grow a halberd, and use a husband for eternity. ”

To put it simply, it is a husband and a wife, and there is no way to open it.

In Li Ye's mind, Tongguan's status is much more important than Huazhou's.

In the dark night, the iron armor clanged, Li Ye was also in the marching ranks, for three days, they went out day and night, sleeping in the deep mountains and wilderness, the food was only dry food, and even the bonfire was forbidden to be lit.

Many recruits who had just joined not long ago complained, and on the first day, there were deserters and they were captured by Ashina Zhenyan's scouts.

Li Ye didn't even think about it, and beheaded him in front of the whole army.

Usually Li Ye is easy-going and generous, but at this time, soft-heartedness is cruelty to himself.

Seeing the blood, the three armies were shocked, and there were no more deserters.

In the dark mountains, Tongguan clings to the mountains like a giant.

There were sporadic torches swaying on the city walls, and they should be night watchmen.

From this point, it can be seen that Han Jian has a good way of governing the army, Tongguan is an important place, and Han Jian will not deploy heavy troops.

Li Ye originally wanted to attack at night, but when he saw the cautious defenders on the city wall, he had to give up this idea, if the night attack failed, Tongguan would become his nightmare.

The Praetorian Guards were newly established, and Li Ye was very skeptical of their combat effectiveness. And Han Jian is a person who can't be looked down upon.

Li Ye glanced at the people around him a few times, and their faces were already tired and afraid.

Li Ye himself felt a little tired, and sighed secretly, "Retreat to the mountains to rest." ”

In the end, it is a new army, if it were all like rabbit cubs, Tongguan would have been taken a long time ago.

The camp was opened up in the mountains, the soldiers fell asleep, Li Ye was worried, he couldn't sleep, he was influenced by the insurance company in his previous life, and it was his strength to deceive and play tricks, and it was not good to lead the army to fight, this was completely different from attacking the bandit village, Han Jian was a qualified opponent.

The reason why he did not shy away from hardships and dangers was to keep the Praetorian Guard firmly in his hands.

After coming to this world for almost half a year, under his stumbling and tossing and turning, Tang Ting finally had a glimmer of life.

After lying dormant in the mountains for two days, at dusk, Ashina Zhenyan delivered a message.

There were 3,000 defenders on Tongguan heading west.

Li Ye thought about it for a while, and marched west overnight, could it be to support Huazhou?

This is not good news.

In Li Ye's planning, Gao Xingzhou led 8,000 Shence troops to attack Huazhou, where Han Jian was sitting.

Li Ye made two preparations before raising the army, one was that Li Yun acted as an internal response, and the other was that a long time ago, some of the bright-minded people among the rabbit cubs were scattered into the city.

Just wait for the Gao Xing Zhou soldiers to arrive, and they will be united from the inside and outside.

It stands to reason that Huazhou has already taken it at this time. Now that the defenders of Tongguan have returned to help, it means that Huazhou has not yet been taken, and the war has fallen into a stalemate, Li Ye has a chill in his heart, if the defenders of Tongguan are moved, then the defenders of Tongzhou far north of the Yellow River should also move, and the three armies are attacked, can Gao Xingzhou's 8,000 Shence army resist?

The situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse.

Cold sweat oozed from Li Ye's head, and there were two choices in front of him, return to the army to support Gao Xingzhou, or continue to attack Tongguan.

Tongguan is now empty of troops, which is beneficial to the side.

But if Gao Xingzhou is defeated, what is the point of taking Tongguan?

After all calculations, I still underestimated Han Jian, this person is Caizhou Dental School, and his combat power is by no means below Gao Xingzhou.

The people around didn't realize that the crisis was coming, Zhou Yunyi and Zhang Xingjin each restrained their camps, and they didn't even have anyone to make suggestions.

When the interruption continues, then suffer from the chaos!

Li Ye took a deep breath and ordered: "Ashina Zhenyan, you take the three hundred cavalry of the headquarters and harass these three thousand people along the way!" ”

Li Ye attaches great importance to the role of scouts, so Ashina Zhenyan's department is full of cavalry.

Ashina Zhenyan took the order and left.

Li Ye looked at Tongguan, there were obviously a lot fewer defenders on the city wall, and said to the herald soldiers around him: "Pass the order, attack the city at dawn!" ”

No matter what the war in Huazhou is, Tongguan must be taken.
