Retreating to Longxi almost ceded the land of Guanzhong to the Han State.

This time I went back, and the next time I want to call in, I can only describe it as very difficult.

Not only can't even beat Guanzhong, but even the land of Longxi and the counties of Liangzhou can't protect it.

These places were ruled by Wei for a short time, and the influence of Wei did not completely penetrate into the grassroots, and those scholars saw that Wei was weak and Han was strong, and after Guanzhong was occupied by Han, the land of Longyou and Xiliang had actually been cut off from Wei.

In that case, are they willing to die?

Cao Zhen still sees people's hearts more clearly.

When the time comes, I am afraid that he will be sold and will not know it.

But if you don't retreat to Longxi and move towards Zuo Fengyi, this choice is extremely difficult.

Not to mention that he is now hundreds of miles away from the Lotus Spoon Chongquan, just saying that in the enemy realm, it is not a simple matter to cross many barriers.

moreover

The other side is newly defeated, and logistics and supply have already become a problem, and choosing to transfer to Zuo Fengyi is a big risk.

In case Zheng Hun can't hold on and is defeated by the Han State, wouldn't he go to deliver food when he transferred to Zuo Fengyi this time?

Penetrating deep into enemy territory, there is no intelligence.

Cao Zhen knew that his next choice would be very crucial.

"It's better to gather the soldiers first, and wait until you receive information from all sides, and then make a decision!"

He now only has more than 1,000 cavalry left, and it is not too late to make a choice after gathering cavalry and solving logistics problems.

In Cao Zhenxin, he is more inclined to transfer to Zuo Feng Yi.

Retreating to Longyou, this is the behavior of the weak, and it treats the symptoms but not the root cause, it only delays the speed of defeat.

When he arrived at Zuo Feng Yi, he joined the main force of the Wei army and advanced left and right with the infantry led by Hao Zhao on the left, so the outcome was not yet known.

Recapture Guanzhong, this is the choice to treat both the symptoms and the root cause!

Summer.

The weather is scorchingly hot.

In the Wuguan Road, there was a team of armored sergeants marching slowly.

At the head was a red-armored general with a tiger's back.

It's not Guan Ping, who is it?

Wuguan Road was opened at the end of the Shang Dynasty and the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty.

The leader of the Jingchu tribe, Manxiong, was named the son of Chu, and pioneered this path in the process of leading his people to migrate from Guanzhong to Jianghan.

Wuguan Road is made by connecting the Bashui River Valley on the north side of the Qinling Mountains and the Danshui River Valley on the south side of the Qinling Mountains.

The main route is: eastward from Chang'an, turn southeast after crossing the Baqiao, pass through Podi Village of Lantian County, go up to Qipanling, go around the south side of Lushan, cross the Blue Bridge to Lanqiao Town, trace the Lanqiao River up, cross the Qinling Liang through the Muhu Pass, go down to the Qipan River, a tributary of the Danshui River, go down to Heilongkou, turn east through Shangzhou, Danfeng County out of Wuguan, pass through Shanyang County out of Manchuan Pass, and re-pass the route of Shangjin to reach Jingxiang, called Shangjin Road.

At this moment, Guan Ping led 5,000 Nanyang soldiers to trek here.

His face was full of determination, but the soldiers under his hands were bitter and couldn't speak.

Wuguan Road walks along the north side of Danshui, the mountain road is not wide, the forest is covered, the road is mostly on the top of the mountain or the mountainside, it can be described as "a mountain is not exhausted, a mountain is welcome, there is no half a mile flat in a hundred miles", it can be seen that its road is more difficult to walk.

Although it was possible to carry baggage and cross horse-drawn wagons, it was not uncommon for the wheels to get bogged down in the mud of the rocks, especially now that the water was rising in the summer and many roads were washed away.

As a result, they had to temporarily change the road and cut off the way where the water was blocked to avoid the flood.

The march can only be described as slow.

Not to mention attacking the martial arts pass, it is a problem to reach the martial pass within this month.

"Chang'an has been broken, take Wuguan, open up Wuguan Road, and Guanzhong will be saved."

After the Han State took Guanzhong, Wuguandao was the logistics line and lifeline of Guanzhong.

If you get through it earlier, you can save a huge amount of grain and grass for the Han Kingdom.

The people of Yizhou are frugal, and ten portions of grain and grass are transported over, can one go to Guanzhong?

After the Wuguan Road was opened, the people of Yizhou did not have to transport grain and grass to Guanzhong, but instead transported from Jiangzhou to Jingzhou by waterway, and then from Jingzhou to Guanzhong, in which the cost of the journey was greatly reduced.

And Jingzhou's grain and grass can also be transported to Chang'an.

The more grain and grass transported to Guanzhong, the less the people of Yizhou will collect grain, and life will naturally be better.

Opening up Wuguan Road is the top priority now!

"General, do you want to take a break?"

After marching for half a day, there were already some complainants among the soldiers in the army.

Those masters who opened the way were about to scold their mothers.

If it weren't for the Han army's dangling knives dangling in front of them, they would be on the Han army's roster again, and if they fled rashly, their families would be sat together, and they would not be willing to do this kind of dirty work.

Guan Ping nodded and said, "This matter is not in a hurry, just rest for the time being." ”

He also had a depressed look in his heart.

His Majesty's Northern Expedition to Guanzhong, they are from Nanyang, and they should go north to Luoyang.

The two-way march will definitely put the Wei State in a dilemma.

pity

There are not enough troops.

Lack of food and grass.

Logistics can't keep up.

Zhuge Liang Longzhong's two-way attack on Wei was based on strong national strength, and the current Han State obviously could not support the two-way war on Wei.

In addition, Cao Ren, the general of Wei, is still in Yuzhou, and there are 100,000 soldiers in the same state and county, and the soldiers in Nanyang are not opponents at all.

The troops were not as good as the other side, the food and grass were not enough, and Guan Yu's body was no longer able to support a northern expedition, so he had to give up the idea of sending troops from Nanyang to the northern expedition to Xudu, and then take Luoyang.

And

Xuzhou Zang Ba stubbornly defended Pengcheng, and finally reached the point of exhaustion.

Under Cao Ren's onslaught, Zang Ba, who held Pengcheng for three months, finally had to take his family to self-immolate and die in the inner city mansion because the city gate should be opened.

Xuzhou, which was originally nominally controlled by Wei and actually controlled by Xuzhou Haoqiang, was also completely in the hands of Cao Pi.

When Cao Pi was plotting against Xuzhou, he used a poisonous trick.

The main forces attacking Pengcheng and Xiapi were basically Xuzhou soldiers, and the defenders of the city were also Xuzhou soldiers.

The so-called boiled beans and burning beans, when the Xuzhou soldiers were fighting Xuzhou, they were almost consumed.

The rest were basically assimilated and annexed by the Wei army.

Most of the powerful people in Xuzhou went to Luoyang to become rich and noble marquis, and now Xuzhou is already controlled by officials sent by Wei.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Ren will also soldiers Chen Bing Yingchuan and Runan.

Now don't say that it's the Northern Expedition to Wei, this Cao Ren will be thankful that he won't come to attack Nanyang and Runan.

At this moment, Guan Ping put aside the complaints in his heart first, and saw that his attention was focused on Wu Guan.

"There are 3,000 soldiers of the Wei State in Wuguan, most of whom are soldiers from Xiangyang and Nanyang."

Guan Ping listened to the information of the military division, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Originally, this Wuguan Road was guarded by Lu Chang, and later after he was transferred, he defended Shenyang in the Battle of Runan, which once caused a lot of trouble to Liu Chan, and finally the city was beheaded, and it can be regarded as a well-deserved death.

After Lü Chang left, Wuguan was handed over to Lü Chang's subordinate Zhang Fang.

This Zhang Fangnai is a Jingzhao Yin person, and he leads the Jingzhou soldiers with Guanzhong people, can this be used?

"It's a pity that the families of these soldiers are in the Shang County behind, not in Nanyang, if Chang'an can send troops, break Shangluo, Shang County, under the attack from both sides, Wuguan will be taken, it will be much simpler."

But Guan Ping also understood in his heart that Guanzhong was now under great pressure, and there was no extra troops to divide it to fight Wuguan.

This opens up the Wuguan Road, and it still depends on his 5,000 soldiers in Guanping.

It's hard!

Guan Ping sighed, but soon, this trace of discouragement was left behind him.

Zhang Bao, the son of the third uncle, is now famous all over the world.

Tiger fathers have no dog sons.

My Guan Ping's father is the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion in Megatron Huaxia, how can he lose to Zhang Bao?

The strongest title of the second generation is not you Zhang Bao, but me Guan Pingda! (End of chapter)
