Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 6 Success in Heaven Section 1
Chapter 6 Success in the first day of the eighth day of the fifth month, Nanshan Pavilion. Nanshan Pavilion is located in the middle of Xinfeng City and Zhengcheng, and is eighty miles away from each of the two cities.
After receiving an urgent report from Zhang Ji and Wang Fang, Li Wei immediately ordered the army to stop advancing, and urgently ordered Guo Yan and Huang Fuhong of the rear army to return to Xinfeng City.
In the middle of the night, Guo Yan and Huangfu Hong reported that Xinfeng City was occupied by Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, and the army was blocked by Wei Xu, Song Xian and Li Feng on the way back to the city, and the two sides had a short fierce battle.
Later, as it was nearly dusk, the two armies immediately withdrew from the battlefield. At present, Guo Yan and Huang Fuhong led the army to be stationed in Weiting, which is forty miles away from Nanshan Pavilion.
Zhang Ji and Wang Fang asked for help again. The siege was hampered due to a serious shortage of troops. In the middle of the night, the reinforcements of the Northern Xinjiang Army approached Zhengcheng one after another, and Zhang Ji and Wang Fang had no choice but to lead the army to retreat 20 miles and station in Huating.
In the early morning of the ninth day of the first month of May, Li Dao, Jia Xu, Yang Feng, Han Xian, Dong Cheng and others gathered in the big tent to urgently discuss countermeasures.
No one blamed each other anymore, and everyone sat in the big tent with a heavy heart, not saying a word.
"If we had stayed in the Beiwu camp in Baling, this predicament would not have arisen today." Yang Feng saw Jia Xu sitting drowsy behind the desk, and he was a little annoyed.
If Jia Xu hadn't instigated Li Wei to lead his army south, how could Baling be lost? How could you be in a desperate situation today?
"The same will appear." Jia Xu smiled faintly,
"Wang Fang, Huang Fuhong and Guo Yan have joined forces, and they will soon join forces with Han Sui and Pang De to attack Baling. We couldn't hold the Beiwu camp, so we could only retreat with Zhang Ji and the Son of Heaven in the direction of Tongguan. It's just that in that case, we are weak, and after being hit head-on by the Northern Frontier Army, we will scatter and flee, and give the Son of Heaven to the general. ”
"Although we are in a predicament today, your lordships have been relieved of their previous suspicions because of Pound's attack, and they have shaken hands and made peace, which has greatly increased our strength." Jia Xu rubbed his eyes and slowly spread out the map on the desk,
"Ladies and gentlemen, please see, our more than 30,000 people are now surrounded by the Northern Xinjiang Army between Weiting, Nanshan Pavilion and Huating. The terrain here is narrow, facing water in the north and mountains in the south, and it is very difficult for the northern army to eat us in one bite. So I think we still have a lot of chances to survive. ”
"A chance to survive the dead?" Dong Cheng smiled bitterly,
"Lord Jia isn't joking, is he?" Dong Cheng is about forty years old, tall, dignified, and slightly hoarse in his voice.
He used to be a subordinate of Niu Fu, and after Niu Fu's death, he took the army to take refuge in Li Dao and was Li Dai's cronies.
His daughter was able to marry the Son of Heaven as a concubine, all thanks to Li Dao's help. Li Dao is in charge of state affairs, he coerced the Son of Heaven to marry a concubine, how dare the Son of Heaven not marry?
"Lord Jia, our army is not as large as the Northern Xinjiang Army, and the grain and grass are also seriously insufficient, and at this moment we are trapped between the mountains and fields without danger to defend, how long do you think we can support it?" Dong Cheng said dejectedly,
"As long as the Northern Frontier Army surrounds us for a month, the army will inevitably collapse without a fight. In my opinion......" He looked at Li Dao, who had a gloomy face, and said cautiously,
"Let's follow the general's advice and send the Son of Heaven to Hedong, right?"
"Hey...... hey" Yang Feng sneered,
"You are now a relative of the emperor, and you eat and drink spicy food everywhere, but what about us?" Yang Feng pointed his finger at Li Dao and asked loudly,
"Can the general let us go? The general said that the adults burned Chang'an, and this felony alone can put the adults to death. And us, we used to be white waves and yellow scarves, and the enmity with the Northern Xinjiang Army is as deep as the sea, will the general let us go? You sincerely want us to die, don't you? Dong Cheng was shocked and shook his hand again and again,
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I didn't mean that." Li Dao glared at him fiercely,
"Use your brains to do things, think about your brothers, and don't just think about yourself." Then he turned his head to look at Jia Xu,
"Wenhe, how to survive the dead?"
"Ask Yuan Shao, Kuai Yue, and Han Sui for help." Jia Xu shook his drowsy head, tried his best to open a pair of heavy eyelids, and said weakly.
In the past few days, he has been marching continuously, and he has to help Li Dao deal with various military affairs, and he has hardly slept and is extremely tired.
"Ask Yuan Shao for help?" Li Dao and the generals were puzzled,
"Wenhe, Yuan Shao doesn't want to respect the son of today, and he doesn't want King Qin, he can't wait to drive the Son of Heaven out of Guanzhong, how can he support us?"
"Yuan Shao doesn't want to be the king of Qin." Jia Xu slapped his forehead a few times to make himself as sober as possible,
"But he didn't want us to take the Son of Heaven to Hedong. Once the general succeeds in King Qin, he can coerce the Son of Heaven to order the world, and the general's strength will surely grow rapidly. At that time, even if Yuan Shao occupied Guanzhong, it would be difficult for him to regret the general, and sooner or later he would be defeated, so he ......"
"So Yuan Shao will definitely come over with a large army." Yang Feng suddenly realized, and slapped his palm on the case,
"We and Yuan Shaoli should cooperate with each other, and we will definitely be able to defeat the Northern Xinjiang Army and successfully break through."
"You think the general is an idiot?" Li Wei scolded,
"Didn't he know that Yuan Shao would call? Also, even if we break through, will Yuan Shao take the opportunity to kill us? Let's not just get out of the leopard's mouth and fall into the tiger's cage again, killing ourselves. Li Wei pointed at Jia Xu and asked with a very melancholy expression,
"Wenhe, now it's not a matter of whether you can break through, but how to survive and how to continue to occupy Guanzhong. Do you have a better way? ”
"Then let's get through it." Jia Xu closed his eyes, slowly leaned on the desk, yawned and said,
"After a long time, the situation in Guanzhong will definitely change, so let's look for opportunities at that time. Now there is only one way, contact Yuan Shao as soon as possible and let him attack the Northern Frontier Army. Li Wei looked at Jia Xu, who was asleep at his desk, and sighed helplessly: "Okay, let's take a step at a time." If it really doesn't work, everyone will burn all the jade and die together. That night, Li Dao ordered more than a dozen highly skilled guards to escort Shizhong Seeding, crossed the mountains and mountains, and went from the path to Yuan Shao of the Tunbing Dao Pavilion to ask for help.
On the ninth day of the fifth month, Guanzhong, Xinfeng City. Koji Yoshiki convened a meeting of the generals. At present, the strength of the Northern Xinjiang Army entering Guanzhong is 60,000 foot cavalry.
Pang De, Liu Ming, Storm Sand, and Nie Xiao's 20,000 iron horses rode in Baling. The fifteen thousand of Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Jiang Wu, and Mustafa rode in the Hongmen Pavilion and the Opera Pavilion.
Wang Dang, Yu Poison's 10,000 troops are in Zhengcheng. Sun Qin and Guo Daxian's 10,000 foot soldiers have entered Xinfeng City today.
The 5,000-strong navy of Captain Yang Hua was responsible for transporting grain, grass, baggage, and camera support on the Weishui River.
"Although our army of 60,000 people surrounded the area of Xinfeng City and Zhengcheng with more than 30,000 men and horses of Li Dao and Guo Yan. However, since the 100,000-strong army of Yuan Shao, Kuai Yue, and Han Sui was eyeing the vicinity of Chang'an, we did not have the ability to encircle and annihilate Li Dao and rescue the Son of Heaven for the time being. Sima Wu Ye pointed to the map with great concern and said,
"Ladies and gentlemen, please see, if you take Nanshan Pavilion as the center, Li Dao is now surrounded by us. But if we take Xinfeng City as the center, we are surrounded by Yuan Shao and Li Dao. "Near Xinfeng City, we have Pang De's 20,000 iron cavalry, Lu Bu and Zhao Yun's 15,000 iron cavalry, and Sun Qin and Guo Daxian's 10,000 foot soldiers.
Even if Yang Hua's 5,000 naval army is added, the total strength is only 50,000. These 50,000 people are currently in the middle of the front and rear of the 130,000-strong army of Yuan Shao, Kuai Yue, Han Sui and Li Wei.
"Whether we can rescue the Son of Heaven and occupy Guanzhong depends on whether we can successfully defend Xinfeng City." Wu Ye patted the map vigorously, then glanced around at the generals, and said slowly,
"According to the general's requirements, we will hold on to Xinfeng City for at least a month." Pang De touched his short beard and asked in a low voice, "Zishe, where is Lord Yang Feng's army?" When did they enter Guanzhong? ”
"The general took them to Kansai." Wu Ye replied,
"General Yang Feng's army is no longer fighting in Guanzhong."
"Why?" Pound asked in surprise,
"We don't have enough troops. 60,000 people can rescue the Son of Heaven, but it is difficult to occupy Guanzhong. ”
"Not bad. With the current strength, it is indeed difficult for us to occupy Guanzhong. Koji Yi waved his hand and said,
"But if we also recruit Lord Yang Feng's 20,000 troops into the pass, are you absolutely sure that you will occupy the pass?" Pang De thought for a moment, then looked at each other with Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, and all three of them shook their heads.
"But we have an advantage." Zhao Yun said,
"We have sufficient food, grass and ordnance, we have occupied the opportunity of the battlefield in Guanzhong, and our soldiers are of the same heart. The armies of Li Dao and Guo Yan are not only full of contradictions but also seriously lack grain and grass, although the three armies of Yuan Shao, Kuai Yue, and Han Sui are not short of grain and grass, but each has their own thoughts. Han Sui must first preserve his strength, and he will not do his best to attack us. Therefore, I believe that as long as the various departments of the Guanzhong battlefield hold each other for a long time, there will inevitably be changes, and our certainty of victory is still very large. Since we are sure of victory, the more troops we have, the greater our certainty. Koji nodded,
"Not bad. But how much will we lose in this battle? After beating all the people, how will Northern Xinjiang, Guanzhong, and Kansai be garrisoned in the future? Could it be that more troops will be drawn from the Jizhou battlefield and rushed thousands of miles to Guanzhong to support? With fewer troops in Jizhou, how will the Central Plains be pacified in the future? The generals looked solemn and silent.
Koji Yi stood up, walked to the front of the map, pointed to Luoyang on the map and said: "If we want to win the victory on the Guanzhong battlefield, the key is not the number of troops on both sides on the Guanzhong battlefield, but whether we can take advantage of the weakness of the Kanto army to quickly enter the Kanto region and occupy Luoyang." There was a sudden uproar in the big tent.
The main armies of Yuan Shao and Liu Biao were currently on the battlefield in Guanzhong, while Yuan Wei's Yuzhou army and Cao Cao's Yanzhou army were both on the south bank of the Yellow River, ready to prevent the northern army from crossing the river to the south.
At this time, the Kwantung forces were already very weak. Chun Yuqiong's abandonment of attacking Xin'an and leading the army to retreat to Hangu Pass is enough to illustrate the problem.
The general led an army of 40,000 and will attack Hangu Pass in the near future and take Luoyang. Lu Yi looked at the excited generals of Northern Xinjiang in the tent, and said with a smile: "If Yuan Shao learns that Hangu Pass is lost, how will he deal with it?" ”
"He only has to withdraw his troops, otherwise Luoyang will be lost, and he will be homeless again." Jiang Wu laughed loudly.
"Yuan Shao may not necessarily withdraw his troops." Koji Yoshi's big hand stretched out to the Central Plains on the map,
"Luoyang City is tall and strong, and it may not be lost in the short term. At this time, Yuan Wei of Yanzhou could withdraw his troops to help, and Zhang Yang of Hanoi could also cross the river to the south. ”
"Haha, then Yuan Shaoke will be miserable." Zhang Liao said excitedly,
"The Northern Xinjiang Army can take the opportunity to capture Hanoi, occupy Yanzhou, and attack from the east and north of the Kanto region, and the Kanto region will immediately be in the general's pocket."
"Yuan Shao has no other way but to withdraw from Guanzhong and rush back to help." Pound slapped his palm on the desk and shouted,
"Guanzhong is ours." There was jubilation in the tent.
"Yuan Shao dared to fight with our general, and he didn't claim how heavy he was, this time he was dead." Koji Yi's face suddenly sank,
"If you think so, the battle will be lost." Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Pang De and others thought that Lu Yi was joking, and they were still smiling, looking like victory was within reach.
"You should have heard of Hebei's financial situation." Koji Yi said solemnly,
"This year, it is impossible for the Northern Xinjiang Army to start a war on two battlefields at the same time, and Hebei's financial endowment is simply not able to support the conquest of more than 100,000 troops for more than six months." The generals were shocked, and the smile on their faces gradually disappeared.
"The key to victory on the battlefield in Guanzhong lies in whether the general's feint attack can be effective. If the feint attack works and Yuan Shao withdraws his troops, we will be able to occupy Guanzhong at the minimum cost, and King Qin will succeed. Of course, if God has an eye, the general's battle to attack the Kwantung region is very smooth, and even directly captures Luoyang, then the great cause of Zhongxing will be greatly advanced, and the Dahan Sheji is expected to be stable in a few years. Ko Yi looked at the generals and continued with a grim expression,
"If the feint doesn't work, we will inevitably fall into a bitter battle in Guanzhong, and the outcome is difficult to predict, so ......" Koji Yi suddenly raised his voice and said loudly,
"We must save the Son of Heaven as soon as possible. As long as the Son of Heaven is saved, even if we lose Guanzhong, we can still calm the world in the shortest possible time and prosper the Han. ”
"What do you mean, sir, let's hit Li Dao first?" Zhao Yun asked in surprise. Yi waved his hand vigorously,
"As long as the general lays down Hangu Pass, Yuan Shao will definitely hesitate, and at this time, we will immediately dispatch to resolutely kill Li Dao and Guo Yan and save the Son of Heaven."
"Tomorrow, Ling Ming (Pang De) will go to Xiliangjun and make an appointment with Mr. Wenyue, I will have a good talk with him." Koji Yi then pointed at Zhao Yun,
"Zilong, you go to Nanshan Pavilion to meet the Son of Heaven, and by the way, tell the Son of Heaven and the ministers of the court about the death of Lord Huangfu. In addition, if I ask the Emperor to come to me, I will say that I have a letter from the Emperor Fu to him. If you meet Li Dao, you tell him that if he doesn't want to die, send the Son of Heaven to Hedong as soon as possible. "In mid-May, Kansai, Hanya Pass.
The general Li Hong and the general Xu Rong approached the pass with an army of 40,000. Jump to
