Chapter 467: Jizhou Strategy (9)

After the battle of Tianjing Pass, the Zhuguan Village behind it could not be hidden. Even if there were no fish that slipped through the net, the smoke that rose into the sky was only afraid that the enemy would see it. What's more, someone came to report early that the patio guard would take advantage of the chaos and disappear.

failed to hold the patio guard, Zhang Yan was a little disappointed. Fortunately, Zhao Yun's words lifted his spirits again: "This pass is really a natural danger, and if it is not General Zhang's clever plan, how can our army take it easily." ”

After cleaning the battlefield, the casualties were counted, and the merchants who helped were added, but there were only more than 100 casualties. That Li Xian and the others, where have they experienced such a battle, one by one they were uncontrollable, and they shouted endlessly around Zhao Yun and Zhang Yanyu: "Two generals, the next pass, a certain family is also familiar, why don't you let us go with the army!" There are also those who were frightened by the scene of flying flesh and blood, and were rushed by the bloody breath that came to their noses, so they couldn't help but weaken their legs, and they held on to the wall and vomited.

Zhao Yun saw that these people were eager to try, but it was not easy to dampen their enthusiasm, so he said: "I expect that the enemy army in front must know that our army is heading south, and it is indispensable to take the Tianjing Pass. It is better for you to quickly turn around and leave this place, so as not to spread the flames of war to you. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yun paused again and said with a smile: "If there is a strong man who has the heart to accompany him, he can go forward with my rear army." However, in our army, we must abide by our military discipline. Those who dare to violate the ban will be beheaded! There was a smile in the front, but when it came to the back, it was like thunder, showing its majesty.

Li Xian saw it, secretly envious in his heart, and thought, joining the army to kill the enemy, crisscrossing the north and south, this is a good man. It's a pity that I have two elders in my family, a wife and children, and my brothers and sisters all died young, and only one of them remained. This life is delusional.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Yan led the army to walk slowly all the way, only to see that several dangerous piers were abandoned by the enemy. Look at the time, but it's between these two days. Zhang Yan couldn't help laughing and said: "The enemy army in Taihang is already frightened, and when they heard that our army was coming, they fled in spite of the wind. ”

Zhao Yun was a cautious person, and after listening to it, he said: "Maybe the enemy took the initiative to give up. But we cannot let our guard down. ”

Zhang Yan thought about it for a while, and felt that what Zhao Yun said was quite reasonable, if it were him, he would definitely not defend this pier, but would choose to retreat to one place, and then gather troops to defend it. Thinking of this, Zhang Yan suddenly remembered a place in front of him, and said in his heart that the enemy army had retreated to that place, if so, it would not be good. As soon as his mind turned, he summoned a team of scouts, and after a few careful instructions, he saw the scouts clenching their fists and scattering into the vast Taihang Mountain.

After a while, the mountain road winds to the top of the mountain. Zhao Yun saw that this mountain was very large and quite flat, and knew that it must have been repaired by his predecessors. So he ordered the three armies to rest here. Zhao Yun, who sat on a big rock, looked around, only to see that the surroundings were lush and green, surrounded by mountains, and in the extreme distance, the green mountains were like daisies, the blue sky was like washing, the mountain breeze was light, and the wind was blowing on both sides. It's refreshing, and I can't help myself. Zhao Yun resisted the urge to let out a long howl, and said in his heart that it was a pity that this magnificent and picturesque river and mountain fell into Yuan Shao's hands.

Just as he was turning his thoughts, he suddenly saw a city wall in the distance in the greenery like a giant python flickering in the mountains. Zhao Yun couldn't help but say, "Where is that?" ”

Zhang Yan next to him said: "It's good to teach General Zhao to know, that is the Great Wall of the old Zhao in this Taihang Dynasty." ”

Therefore, Zhao City was built by Zhao State in the pre-Qin period. "Historical Records of the Zhao Family" contains "the seventeenth year of the Marquis of Su (333 BC) besieged Wei and Huang, did not ke, built the Great Wall, connected to Hanoi, and built it as a stone. "It stretches through the mountains, and after hundreds of years of wind and rain, there are now only a few dozen miles of stone walls left.

Hearing that it was the Great Wall of Zhao, Zhao Yun couldn't help frowning, this Great Wall was born for the military. And crisscrossing in this Taihang Mountain, isn't it a natural fortress for the Taihang Mountain. In this case, then the piers that they had passed through before, those guards were afraid that they had all retreated there. So he took a look at Zhang Yan.

When Zhang Yan saw Zhao Yun's gaze, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "General Zhao, the defenders in the Great Wall are just afraid that they have already taken precautions." When our army marched there, it was indispensable to fight a bitter battle. ”

When Zhao Yun heard this, he said: "Since I joined the army in Youzhou, I have fought dozens of battles, how can I be afraid of hard battles?" Whoever wants to win against me, he must ask me if I am shot in the palm. As he spoke, an indomitable momentum abruptly emerged. The sonorous murderous aura between the words made Zhang Yan also feel awe-inspired.

Zhang Yan said in his heart, he is worthy of being a brave general who killed in the borderland, but with this heart, my old Zhang is far inferior. Influenced by Zhao Yun's words, Zhang Yan was also full of pride: "I will follow General Zhao to kill this Taihang Cheng." ”

In a fort on the Great Wall of Zhao, hundreds of soldiers gathered here. They were all retreated from the bunkers ahead. At the time of this great enemy, there was a quarrel among them.

One side must defend to the death, and the other side must retreat. This is where the contradiction arises. A stunned captain held a knife in his hand, and his voice was loud: "The puppet who has no eggs, the Tianjing Pass is so dangerous that it can't be held for a day." Chibao is not easy to mess with on this day, don't say that it is Zhao Yun and Zhang Yan, it is Liu Bei who came in person, and he also wants to let him know how powerful he is. ”

Therefore, the Great Wall of Zhao connects Dakou Pass and Tianchi Ridge. Tianchi Fort was built on the top of Tianchi Ridge, hence the name. The one who led the guards along the way to retreat was a small colonel from Tianjing Pass, and after listening to the words of the squinting captain, his face turned red, and he said loudly: "If it weren't for Zhao Yun's plan to make me close the door, how could he get in!" ”

After a pause, Fu shouted again: "The Qingzhou army is no less than 5,000 people, we are only a few hundred, and there is a shortage of food, bows and arrows, how can we defeat the Qingzhou army?" It's better to abandon this place early and go to Hanoi! ”

After the city was broken, he led his cronies to flee all the way, and along the way, he only hated to have wings in his armpits, and flew across these countless mountains until Si Li went. Therefore the armor, the sword, and the bow were all gone. On the mountain road between this Tianjing Pass and the Great Wall of Zhao, countless Dunbao guards saw that Tianjing Pass was lost, and they also followed this small school all the way to retreat, everyone was competing to see who was running faster, so they ran and ran, all the way to Tianchi Ridge, looked at each other, and found that everyone was almost empty-handed. At this time, the captain of Tianchi Fort said that he would defend it to the death, didn't this force everyone to die, who would be willing?

The guard of Tianchi Fort, but he is a subordinate of Han Fu, the former lord of Jizhou, after Yuan Shao entered Jizhou, he swept away and suppressed Han Fu's forces, he was such a captain, because he did not enter Yuan Shao's eyes, he was thrown into this group of mountains by Yuan Shao. He works with birds and beasts every day, but he also works hard. So he sat in this position until now.

But he was not willing to sink here, he knew that if he didn't have any merit, no matter how much money he had, he would only feed the unfamiliar dogs, and he would not be able to get promoted and leave this place. Now that the Qingzhou army is coming to attack Taihang, his eyes are bright, and he feels that this is an opportunity. He quarreled with the deserters.
