Chapter 259: Fighting the Tiger Roaring Pass!
After Cao participated in Zhao Yun's rush to the border pass, the three armies met and decided to launch a major campaign of more than 300,000 troops against the Jin army in the near future.
If the Jin army is defeated and defeated, then the battle of Qingzhou Border Pass will be completely gone.
But if you can't tell the winner in one battle, then you have to be prepared to fight a protracted war with the Jin army.
A few days passed.
Lu Bing came to Cao Shen's camp, hoping to use the strength of the army to send them into the Jin Kingdom.
Wei Zhongxian and others entered the Jin Kingdom by water, and in addition to this road, basically other roads that could enter the Jin Kingdom were blocked by the Jin army.
At the beginning, someone suggested that Lu Bing could go all the way with Wei Zhongxian.
But the task of going to Beiliang to spy on the military situation is not trivial, and Lu Bing is worried that if Wei Zhongxian and others are found by water, it will be more than worth the loss.
Eggs can't be broken in one basket, right?
The soldiers split into two ways, breaking one basket and the other.
As long as you can complete the tasks assigned by Your Majesty, then whoever can complete it.
After all, this is a major matter related to the prosperity of the Wei State, and personal honor and disgrace and grievances can be temporarily abandoned.
Since you can't go by water with Wei Zhongxian, you can only choose the land route, but by land, without the opening of the army, it is difficult to succeed, after all, the border pass area is blocked by the Jin State.
Including those bordering the state of Chu.
Therefore, Lu Bing came to ask Cao Shen.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, after Cao Shen heard Lu Bing's request, he felt very incredible, he shook his head, and said decisively: "Impossible, now both the enemy and us are waiting, if you rush to send troops because of your Jinyi Guard's errand, it is likely to put the officers and soldiers of the three armies in danger, this move is too risky." ”
Lu Bing frowned slightly when he heard this, he knew that Cao Shen would not agree to himself casually in this matter, and then he lowered his posture, after all, standing in front of him at this moment was the old man Cao Guogong who followed His Majesty, this Guogong was very prestigious in the Great Wei Army, even more prestigious than Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, so he couldn't help but disrespect himself.
He replied to him: "Lord Guogong"
Before he finished speaking, he was frightened by Cao Shen's eyes, and only Cao Shen's voice came from his ears: "In the army, please call the old man Marshal!"
It was this sentence that made Lu Bing feel excited, and he hurriedly said: "Marshal, Lu Bing knows that he is wrong. But please marshal be sure to listen to the next word, when you come down, you have already inquired about the situation, three hundred miles to the north, is where the Tiger Roar Pass of the Jin Kingdom is, if the marshal can send an army to take the Tiger Roar Pass, you can pretend to be a refugee in the pass, all the way to Beiliang, this is after all about Your Majesty's plan, it is an indispensable link, I think, Marshal, you don't want to see Your Majesty's plan fail, right?"
Cao Shen sneered: "Let's not talk about whether Your Majesty's plan will fail because of Beiliang's intelligence, just talking about the Tiger Roar Pass, Ben Shuai will see that you are talking about a fool's dream, do you know how many troops there are in the pass? How much grain and grass are there? What about its reserve troops? You don't know anything, so let Ben Shuai go to tackle the key problems? Do you know what it means to move the whole body with a single trigger? Once the Tiger Roar Pass is attacked, it is very likely that a series of chain reactions will appear! At that time, who will be responsible for the entire battle situation?!"
Lu Bing simply knelt on the ground, hugged his fist to Cao Shen and said: "Marshal, Your Majesty's layout of the Jin Kingdom and spying on the military situation in Beiliang is the top priority, compared to the gains and losses of the First World War, or Your Majesty's layout, it is more important to come, I hope the marshal will think twice!"
Cao Shen narrowed his eyes, revealing a murderous intent, enveloping Lu Bing.
And he, after feeling this murderous momentum, was covered in a cold sweat in an instant, and gradually soaked through his clothes.
Lu Bing could clearly feel at this moment that Cao Shen really wanted to kill himself.
After a long time, Cao Shen exhaled a turbid breath and said: "You get up first, but in the future, you must remember that Ben Shuai is the most taboo in his life, and you use Your Majesty to threaten me, thinking that you are a first-time offender, I will not kill you." Tell me about your detailed plan, if Ben Shuai thinks it's inappropriate, he won't help you.
Having said that, although Ben Shuai is sure to take the Tiger Prison Pass, but you only have one hour at most, and after an hour, the reinforcements of the Jin army will come, and at that time, Ben Shuai will pay several times the price if he wants to take the Tiger Pass, which is difficult for our army to bear at present. The battle situation at the border pass is also an important part of His Majesty's plan, and as the commander of the three armies, he must put the border war first in everything!"
Lu Bing was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with palpitations: "Marshal Xie!"
Just now, he was really frightened.
Then, he told Cao Shen about the plan he had arranged and the importance of spying on the military intelligence in Beiliang.
It is said that after the commander of the Jin army learned that Cao Shen was the commander of the three armies of the Wei State, no matter what he did, he was much more cautious than usual.
Only because at the beginning, Cao Shen was ordered by Emperor Renzong of the Great Wei to lead the expeditionary army into the Chu and Jin wars, and a total of more than 30 battles of all sizes were experienced, without any defeat, and then shocked the three kingdoms of Wei, Jin and Chu.
And he fought wars, and he was also known for his steadyness.
This attack on Tiger Roar Pass, to be honest, was one of his few dangerous moves.
In order to prepare Chen Qingzhi and them in case the Jin army counterattacked, Cao Shen had already notified them in advance of the battle of Tiger Roar Pass.
Moreover, Chen Qingzhi also lent Cao Shen a general named Yue Fei here.
He also made it clear to Cao Shen that Yue Fei was an offensive general, and he had a lot of experience in how to fight the battle of attacking cities and seizing land, and he could use it boldly with confidence.
Cao Shen had no reason not to trust Chen Qingzhi, so he was convinced of this, and directly let Yue Fei serve as the vanguard of this attack on Tiger Roar Pass.
The army marched north for more than 300 miles, and finally came to the Tiger Roar Pass, and couldn't help but say that even the call for battle never happened, but directly chose to attack the city.
In recent days, the generals of the Jin army basically knew the surprise of the Wei army, so they were mentally prepared, and the scouts had already told the generals of Huxiaoguan that they had long expected the siege of the Wei army.
Correspondingly, they were also fully prepared to defend the city.
Moreover, I have already gone to ask for reinforcements, and I believe that as long as you hold on for a while, when the reinforcements come, the Wei army will naturally retreat.
However, there was only one thing that the generals of the Jin army did not expect.
The Wei army's siege methods would be so skillful.
The coordination of the arms is tacit and closely related.
Moreover, the siege forces were scattered, which greatly reduced the power of the Jin army's arrows, falling rocks and other means.
After the enemy attacked the city for the first time, the generals of the Jin army had a feeling that if the reinforcements were one step late, I was afraid that the Tiger Roar Pass would not be able to hold it.
The Jin army remained in the big tent of the Chinese army outside the Qingzhou border pass.
Qin Heng, the commander of the Jin army, was holding a huge sand table in front of him, and beside him were all the senior generals of the Jin army.
Long before the tea kung fu, he had already sent reinforcements to the Tiger Roar Pass.
At this moment, he was looking at the sand table, pondering the purpose of the Wei army's sudden onslaught at Tiger Roar Pass.
After a while, he figured it out, and said to the generals of the three armies: "This Cao Shen should not be underestimated, it is not trivial, in the first battle of Chu, Ben Shuai had suffered his losses, and now, he will do whatever it takes, and he will attack my Tiger Roar Pass, which is by no means wanton."
After careful consideration, Ben Shuai saw that his attack on the Tiger Roar Pass was fake, so as to cut off the connection between our anti-Wei army and the friendly troops stationed in the Changliu Mountain Range, and ordered the front army to organize Cao Shen's army to take the Tiger Roar Pass at all costs!"
The generals of the Jin army clasped their fists in unison when they heard the sound and said, "The last general will wait for the order!"
border towns.
Chen Qingzhi was nervously looking at the map.
It's really a one-shot move on the whole body.
He smiled and scolded the generals standing beside him: "This Brother Cao, why did his temperament become so anxious, it's good now, he went to attack the Tiger Roar Pass, so that everyone had to follow his pace." ”
One coach scolds another coach, do others dare to interject?
These generals, after hearing the sound, just went in and out of their left ear and went out of their right ear.
Just after Xiao Yuming spoke, there was an urgent report from the scout outside the door, and after coming in, he hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Marshal, the 80,000 horses in front of the enemy suddenly moved, and the target seems to be moving closer to the direction of Tiger Roaring Pass." ”
Chen Qingzhi nodded and said, "Let's explore." ”
When the scout heard this, he went out and continued to spy on the enemy's movements.
At this time, a general, seeing that Chen Qingzhi was not in a hurry, asked, "Marshal, should we send troops to intercept it?"
Chen Qingzhi chuckled: "When you say that the daylilies are cold, Ben Shuai has already ordered Huo Qubing to lead the army to intercept it, however, Ben Shuai guessed that this is just the vanguard of the enemy, and they will continue to send troops to the Tiger Roar Pass, so the commander has only one request for you, at all costs, to intercept the enemy army in the Mangshan area, and absolutely not let them go east to get closer to the Tiger Roar Pass." ”
When all the soldiers heard this, they all clenched their fists and said in unison: "The last general will take the order!"
Chen Qingzhi looked at the generals and nodded at them, and then muttered worriedly: "Brother Cao, I can only do this step, everything depends on you, if you can really capture the Tiger Roar Pass, then this battle situation will be alive for my Wei State." ”
In the face of the first battle of the Jin army, the Wei army was really a little powerless.
Even though there are 100,000 enemies in vain, they can't stand their numbers!
Moreover, in the Jin Kingdom, there are still signs of increasing troops at the border passes.
Who can withstand this?
However, Chen Qingzhi, Cao Shen, and Zhao Yun were each other's horns, and they resisted the Jin army, and even had the ability to attack the Jin army.
After all, this war, in the final analysis, was provoked by Wei first.
If the Wei army is incapable of attacking the Jin army after Bai Qi pits the enemy, wouldn't it make the world laugh?
These days, they have been waiting for an opportunity for the enemy to show their flaws, and then they can make a breakthrough.
Now, this time has not waited, and we can only hope for the Tiger Roar Pass.
Therefore, at this moment, the Tiger Roar Pass has instantly become a battleground for soldiers in the eyes of both the enemy and us.
Once Cao Shen is allowed to take the Tiger Roar Pass, if nothing else, this place will become the main battlefield of the three armies.
In other words, whoever occupies the Tiger Roar Pass will take the lead, and in the future confrontation, you can take the lead step by step, which is the most important thing.
So why did Lu Bing insist on entering through the Tiger Roar Pass?
It is because of the strategic position of the Tiger Roar Pass at the beginning that it is not noticeable, and the Tiger Roar Pass has no mountain support as a barrier, it is very easy to attack, and there are only a few people in the pass, but it is the only way for caravans from all countries to pass.
However, if you enter the Jin Kingdom from other Jin passes, and arrive at the capital of the Jin Kingdom or the border around the Central Plains, it is easy to be suspicious of people disguised as a caravan, and the details determine success or failure, which is one that intelligence personnel must keep in mind.
But he never imagined that a mere tiger roaring pass would make both the enemy and us flock to it.
