Chapter 463: Jizhou Strategy (5)

Hu Guang got Zhong Xuan's guidance, and enthusiastically carried out measures such as wooing, dividing, and suppressing in the Bohai Sea, and no longer blindly used force to suppress people. Three times five divided by two, and that group of people will be submissive. With the demise or surrender of one family after another, the Bohai families were also full of contradictions and rifts, and they were no longer able to compete with Hu Guang. Seeing this, Hu Guang re-pushed the Qingzhou government, and this time wherever his orders went, he didn't dare to disobey. But it was the first time that I tasted the majesty of the county order Yin Zhi.

The Qingzhou army swept through the state, and it was not only Yuan Shao who was frightened, but the generals of Liangzhou who were cowering in the three counties of Chang'an, but they were also looking at each other, for fear that Zhao Yun and Lu Bu and others would bring orders to Jingzhao. It wasn't until the spies came to report that Lu Bu led his troops north, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Dong Zhuo's old department, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Niu Fu and others were dead, Duan Xuan and Zhang Xiu surrendered Liu Bei, leaving only Li Daobing Tun Chiyang, Ma Teng and Han Sui saw that there was only one Li Dao in the huge pass, and they couldn't help but feel moved in their hearts, left Feng Yi, right Fufeng plus Jing Zhaoyin, no matter how broken it was, it was much better than Liangzhou. was about to raise troops to sweep away Li Dao and dominate this blessed land that had given birth to countless emperors, but when he heard that the Qingzhou army had arrived in the state, he reined in and watched, and stopped mentioning the sword soldiers for the time being.

Zhao Yun's letter arrived at Liu Bei, Liu Bei frowned, and the state has been decided, and the remaining northern counties have always been border stops, and there are not many Han people who have settled, most of them are border guards and their families, and then there are the prisoners who have been degraded and the Hu people who are attached to it. With Lu Bu and Zhang Liao going, you can ignore it for the time being. Hu Guangzhen guarded the Bohai Sea, Zhong Miao won the river, and there were only seven counties left in Jizhou. Even if Yuan Shao stubbornly defended the boundary bridge, it would only drag on for a day. There are Zhang Xiu and Gao Shun in the rear, and Yuan Shao wants to attack his own grain road, which is a fantasy.

However, Yuan Shao wanted to delay, how could he do what he wanted, the boundary bridge could not be crossed, so he ordered Zhao Yun and Zhang Yanbing to go out of Hanoi. Let's see how Yuan Shao responds.

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Bei sent a letter to Zhao Yun and ordered him to cross the Taihang Dynasty with Zhang Yan and attack Hanoi. Taihang Mountain, stretching for thousands of miles, hundreds of mountains are interconnected, thousands of peaks are towering, and thousands of ravines are deep. From the south to the north, several rivers cut through the Taihang Mountains, so the Taihang Eight Mountains were formed. Those who want to go to Taixing in the three states of Henan, Henan and Hebei must pass through these eight mountains. Zhao Yun is not familiar with the road, but Zhang Yan is an expert. He was born in a rebellion major, and then he couldn't defeat the government army and hid in the vast mountains, but over the years, he has explored the continuous Taihang Mountain arteries clearly.

From Shangdang to Hanoi, there are two roads, one is Taihang and the other is Bai. However, if you want to hit Hanoi and quickly aim at Luoyang, there is only one way left, that is, Taihang.

The Taihang Mountain Road is coiled like a sheep's intestine, and the passes are lined up like stars, and the geographical location is very important. In particular, Tianjing Pass is a famous pass in the world. The ancients said that "the shape is famous in the world, and the danger is too good". Tianjing Pass was established during the Western Han Dynasty, and since then for thousands of years, there has been continuous smoke here, and soldiers have risen in all directions. It is a battleground for the soldiers of all dynasties. It was from here that Cao Cao entered Shangdang County to attack Gao Gan, thus writing the famous "Bitter Cold Yin".

Zhao Yun and Zhang Yan received Liu Bei's order, so they led troops south from Huguan. When it was time to get to Hyun, he stopped. Hyun is the old name of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Warring States is called Changping. The famous Battle of Changping took place here. At that time, the general of the Qin State Bai Qi captured the wild king of Korea and cut off the Taihang Dynasty, and the county guard of Shangdang County did not listen to the order of the king of Han to descend Zhao and lead Zhao to attack Qin. As a result, Shangdang did not surrender to Qin but to Zhao, and Qin was furious, which led to the later Battle of Changping. In the Han Dynasty, it was renamed Hyun.

Bai Qi and Lian Po's big names, as long as they are generals, they don't know which one doesn't know, and when they go to the place where they fight, how can they not hang on to it. The Battle of Changping was the longest-lasting, largest and most tragic war in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, just as the ancients talked about the war between the Eastern Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years, only the two battles of Jinyang and Changping were pushed, and the so-called "siege of Jinyang, hanging the kettle and cooking; The Battle of Changping, blood flowed". That's it.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Yan arrived at the ancient battlefield, and saw that although the wind and clouds had been scattered for hundreds of years, the sun rose and the moon set, there was still a bleak and tragic atmosphere everywhere. White bones loom in the grass and can be seen from time to time. On the sparse trees, crows chirped. Zhao Yun couldn't help but sigh: "Wu Anjun is a world-class general, but he is just a pawn, and he is actually pitted on the same day." What a sigh! ”

When Zhang Yan heard this, she couldn't help but feel a sense of kinship. They are all men with soldiers, accustomed to life and death. Zhao Yunbian was born, and Zhang Yan was a rebel leader, and he never took human life seriously. But in this gloomy ancient battlefield, when I think of Bai Qi killing hundreds of thousands of Zhao pawns in this pit, I can't help but feel a little chill in my heart. How cruel and cold-blooded this is.

After hanging on the ancient battlefield, the army continued to move south, and when they reached Gaodu, they stopped again. Out of Gaodu, there are two roads, one to the east but to the Baicheng, and the other to continue to the south, is Taihang.

The army stopped here to rest, and then the scouts went all the way south to reconnoiter the enemy. Zhao Yun and Zhang Yan are not cautious, Gaodu is further south, not far from the danger of the tiger prison in the south, and the patio pass in the north is the solid Tianjing Pass.

Yuan Shao didn't expect that Zhang Yan had already demoted Liu Bei, nor did he expect that Zhao Yun and Zhang Yan would go out of Taihang. But even if he knew, he wouldn't be too nervous. Because of Taihang, almost all of them are sheep intestines mountain road, the mountain road is difficult to walk, not to mention, from the south of Tianjing Pass, there are countless walled forts along the way, all of them have soldiers to guard. These places are not as exaggerated as a husband and wife, but they are almost the same.

It is true that after the scout reported the situation, Zhao Yun was a little dumbfounded. Tianjing Pass, built by the mountain, is on both sides of the lofty mountains, it is difficult for birds to cross, only a river in the middle of the river washed out of the path for people to walk, and Tianjing Pass is built in the middle of the narrowest part of the two mountains.

The sheep intestine road, can only be for two people to walk side by side, many places can not even ride horses, can only get off the horse and lead cautiously walk over, although there is a wide flat land dug out in front of the pass, how many people and horses can be stationed? Besides, when people stand on the wall and look at it from a distance, they know that the enemy army is coming, how can they be defenseless?

Zhao Yunxin said, this way, the siege materials and so on can not be carried, and there is no need for these many people to go, so you can only select elite armor, carry more dry food, and get through this Taihang along the way. Otherwise, these many armies are crowded in one place, not to mention the waste of food and grass, and they will not be able to use it when they are attacking the city.

So after discussing with Zhang Yan, he selected 5,000 elite soldiers from the two armies, but the rest of the people let Tian Yu take the lead, and returned to the town party, while pacifying the place, while raising grain and grass.
