Chapter 525: Wang Lang's Scheme
Pang De said: "General, let's just take Wuguan is not enough, there is Muhu Pass in the west of Wuguan, Fushui Pass in the east, Baiyang Pass, Zhulin Pass, Jingzi Pass, Manchuan Pass in the south, and Tiesuo Pass and Jitou Pass in the north.
Although these passes are not as good as Wuguan, but they are gates facing each other, and cocoa depends on each other to fortify, we want to completely close the connection between Guanzhong and Nanyang, and we have to take these passes down. Only by taking these passes can the Wuguan defense line be considered complete. ”
Guan Yu nodded and said with a smile: "These city passes are all small passes, and there are only a thousand Wuguan guards, and these city passes are more than hundreds, and less than dozens, you can call Xiahou Sheng and ask as soon as you ask!" ”
After a while, Xiahou Sheng was escorted up.
Guan Yu sat on the first place, looked at Xiahou Sheng condescendingly and asked, "Your name is Xiahou Sheng?" Since the surname is Xiahou, what is the relationship with Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan? ”
Xiahou Sheng replied: "Xiahoudun is the distant uncle of the villain. ”
When Guan Yu saw Xiahou Sheng calling himself a villain, he knew that he had the heart to surrender.
Guan Yu sneered: "Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan's family has made contributions with Cao Cao, and now the children of the family are all feudal generals, I heard that Xiahou Yuan has a son named Xiahou Mao, the official to the general of Zhendong, and has become a concubine, this person is a child of anointed sorghum, an incompetent person, and this is still the case."
I see that your previous arrangement was quite decent, and you can be regarded as a talent, why are you just a martial arts guard, not as good as him Xiahou Mao is an incompetent person? ”
Xiahou Sheng smiled bitterly: "The villain is just a sideline, where can he compare to Xiahou Mao, who has been with the emperor since childhood...... Familiar with Cao Pi. ”
Guan Yu asked: "Since the pseudo-Wei is nepotistic, are you willing to surrender?" ”
"The villain is willing to surrender!" Xiahou Sheng hurriedly said.
Although his surname is Xiahou, he is not directly related, and his status is similar to that of ordinary generals, as Guan Yu said, some incompetent people in the Wei clan are still in high positions, and talented people are not reused, and Xiahou Sheng also has jealousy and resentment in his heart.
Now at this life-and-death juncture, he chose to surrender.
Seeing this, Guan Yu smiled with satisfaction: "Even if you know the current affairs, there are many cities near Wuguan, can you make them surrender?" ”
Xiahou Sheng said: "The villain has been in charge of the town guard for three years, and the guards of the nearby city pass are all villains, as long as I say a word, I can surrender." ”
Guan Yu smiled: "Okay, since that's the case, you will lead the troops to persuade them to surrender tomorrow." After the deed is completed, I will play the Son of Heaven and give you the position of Marquis. ”
"Thank you, General, thank you." Xiahou Sheng was overjoyed when he heard this, he had not been a marquis in Wei for decades, and now he surrendered to the Han Dynasty and took a marquis, which is not bad.
The next day, Guan Yu asked Huang Xu to lead his troops to take Xiahou Sheng to receive the nearby Chengguan, although Xiahou Sheng could make them surrender, but the soldiers and horses in Chengguan must be replaced by the Han army.
Another day passed in the blink of an eye.
Shi Bao led 3,000 soldiers and horses to Wuguan.
Seeing the banner of the Han Dynasty raised at the juncture, Shi Bao realized that he was a step too late, and Wuguan had been captured by the Han army.
Wuguan is all cavalry, learned that Cao Rui sent Shi Bao to guard Wuguan, Guan Yu immediately sent cavalry to attack Shi Bao, Shi Bao was defeated, defeated back to Shangluo, sent someone to quickly whip Cao Rui.
When the news reached Chang'an, Cao Rui had already returned to Luoyang, and Chang'an was guarded by Cao Zhen, but Cao Rui left Wang Lang behind as Cao Zhen's military advisor.
Hearing the news from Shi Bao, Cao Zhen sighed and said, "Hey, I didn't expect it to be a step too late, and Wuguan has been taken away by Guan Yu." Shi Bao was defeated by Guan Yu and had retreated to Shangyu.
Now that Wuguan has been captured by the Shu army, my Chang'an has lost an arm of Nanyang, and it will be difficult to counterattack the Shu army at that time. ”
Wang Lang smiled when he heard this and said: "General, don't panic, Shangluo is located in the northwest of Wuguan, which is also a fortified city, and now although Guan Yu occupies Wuguan, it is a Wuguan captured by light cavalry, and he doesn't carry much grain and grass."
Wuguan's original grain hoarding was enough for 1,000 people to last for 3 months, but Guan Yu had thousands of cavalry, so the consumption increased several times, and its grain and grass were only enough for more than half a month.
Liu Chan was far away in stability, and according to the report from the scouts, Liu Chan did not lead his troops to attack Chang'an directly, but recovered the city, and it seemed that he planned to advance slowly.
Therefore, Liu Chan couldn't take care of Guan Yu in a short period of time, and the general could send additional troops and horses to Shangluo, and ordered Shibao to clear the field to prevent Guan Yu from entering Guanzhong to the north to get food.
After sending someone to Nanyang quickly, Sima Yi was asked to guard Danshui and prevent Guan Yu from going south to Nanyang to get grain, so Guan Yu was trapped in Wuguan and could not clear the customs, nor could he go to Nanyang, even if he was frugal, he would run out of food in less than a month.
If Liu Chan sent troops to transport grain and grass to Wuguan, the general could send the tiger and leopard cavalry to deal with their grain transport team to avenge the destruction of grain in Longshan. At that time, not only Guan Yu will be defeated and killed, but Liu Chan's grain and grass will also be damaged a lot. ”
Cao Zhen listened to Wang Lang's words, laughed and said: "Wang Situ is really worthy of being Wang Situ, worthy of being my third duke of Great Wei, and he is really resourceful."
Coming, in sending 5,000 soldiers and horses to Shangluo, these 5,000 soldiers and horses, 20 million sent tigers and leopards to ride, ordered the stone buds to clear the field to resist Guan Yu, Hugh to let Guan Yu enter the Guanzhong Plain to get grain and grass.
After sending people to Nanyang quickly, he ordered Sima Yi to choke Danshui and not let Guan Yu go south to Nanyang to seize grain and grass. Another order the scouts to keep a close eye on Liu Chan's movements, if Liu Chan sent troops and horses to transport grain to Wuguan, he would report immediately. ”
"No!" The generals will take the command.
Wuguan originally had only 1,000 defenders, and it was originally sufficient for three months.
But now that there are suddenly 5,000 more people, and there are 5,000 war horses, the consumption rate of grain and grass has suddenly increased several times, and the grain and grass that could last for three months can only last for nearly twenty days.
Guan Yu occupied Wuguan for only a few days, and Xiahou Sheng complained to Guan Yu, saying that the grain and grass were only enough for half a month.
"Originally, I guarded Wuguan, there were only 1,000 people, and the grain and grass could last for three months, but the general had 5,000 cavalry, and the consumption suddenly increased by more than five times, so the hoarding of grain was only enough to last for about half a month, and I asked the general to find a way to get some grain and grass as soon as possible."
Guan Yu didn't care when he heard this, and said with a smile: "This is easy to do, I will send some cavalry into the hinterland of Guanzhong and borrow some grain and grass from the powerful families." ”
As Guan Yu was talking, Huang Xu walked to the hall and reported: "General Qiyu, just now the scout came with the news, after Shi Bao retreated to Shangluo, he cleared the field and moved all the powerful families within a radius of two hundred miles to the city.
And Chang'an sent another 5,000 soldiers and horses to support, including 2,000 cavalry. ”
"This ......" Hearing this, Guan Yu suddenly frowned.
The stone bud wall is clear, so that within two hundred miles, there are no powerful households in the wild, so Guan Yu can not get grain and grass, because only the powerful households have grain and grass in their hands, and the people in Guanzhong have always been poor, and they can't get grain and grass from their hands at all.
If you bypass Shangyu and go deep into the hinterland of Guanzhong to get grain and grass, this will not work, because Guan Yu's men and horses are only 5,000 people, and the maximum number of people who can be sent out is 3,000 people.
