Chapter 830: Night Attack on White Emperor City
Hanzhong, in the city of Shangyong.
During this time, Xu Huang had been cautiously guarded, for fear that the Jingzhou army would go up the Han River and invade Hanzhong.
"General, the Jingzhou army has been storming Wuguan for more than half a month, General Zhang Xiu is defending the city, and the Jingzhou army is not allowed to advance an inch."
When Xu Huang heard this report, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and secretly thought: "It seems that Xiaozhi and Zhongda are too worried, and the purpose of Jingzhou's trip is really Wuguan, not Yizhou." ”
Although Fa Zheng and Sima Yi guessed that the Jingzhou soldiers were likely to take advantage of the Yiyue rebellion to send troops to attack Yizhou.
However, they were only guessing, and they were not completely sure of the purpose of the Jingzhou soldiers. Today, the Jingzhou soldiers began to storm Wuguan, so the purpose of the Jingzhou army is very obvious.
"Wuguan is guarded by General Zhang Xiu, and it is expected that it will be safe, although it is unlikely that the Jingzhou soldiers will attack Hanzhong, I still can't be careless."
Xu Huang is cautious and steady, and Wuguan is not far from Hanzhong, as long as Jingzhou changes its strategic goals, it can quickly send troops to attack Hanzhong.
If Hanzhong is lost, the connection between Guanzhong and Yizhou will be severed, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
It is precisely because Hanzhong is so important that Chen Xu will appoint Xu Huang, a general, to serve as the Taishou position in Hanzhong.
"Pass the order, send scouts, and be sure to closely monitor the movements of Jingzhou soldiers."
……
In Chengdu, Fa Zheng looked at the battle report in his hand, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he secretly thought: "Could it be that the Jingzhou soldiers really have no intention of attacking Yizhou?" ”
Although Chen Zheng and Sima Yi went to the south to quell the rebellion, they did not take all the soldiers and horses in Yizhou away, but just bluffed.
On the contrary, many soldiers and horses were reduced to pieces and quietly sent to Shangyong, led by Xu Huang, to guard against the attack of the Jingzhou army.
"The news that the prince and Zhongda led the army south to quell the rebellion, presumably Liu Xuande has already known it."
"If they continue to delay in Wuguan, aren't they afraid that the prince will put down the rebellion in the south and then return to Chengdu?"
Fa Zheng walked back and forth in the room, feeling a little restless in his heart.
Since he defected to Chen Xu, Chen Xu has treated him very well, and he has had the experience of not being reused by Liu Zhang, and Fa Zheng is even more grateful for Chen Xu's appreciation.
Yizhou is an important place, and Chen Zheng is the next generation of rulers in Guanzhong, and Chen Xu sent Fa Zheng over, which can also be seen to be important to him.
The soldier dies for the confidant, and the woman is the one who pleases herself.
Although Fa Zheng is a little jealous, he is also the kind of scribe with integrity, and he is eager to defend Yizhou for Chen Xu.
If possible, he even wanted to break the Jingzhou army in a battle.
Although Pang Tong and Kuai Liang are outstanding, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Huang Zhong are all enemies, but Fa Zheng also has his own advantages.
The Yizhou Army fought on its own territory and occupied the right time and place, which was one of them; Fa Zheng is now not well-known and has not been taken seriously by the people in Jingzhou, which is the second thing.
Fa Zheng believes that if he calculates intentionally or unintentionally, he will definitely make Jingzhou soldiers suffer a big loss.
But in fact, the Jingzhou soldiers did not attack Hanzhong according to their own ideas at all, which couldn't help but make Fa Zheng fall into confusion.
"Stomp, stomp!"
Just as Fa Zheng was meditating, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, and when he raised his eyes, he realized that it was Zhang Song.
"Zi Qiao!"
Seeing this, Fa Zheng hurriedly retracted his thoughts and greeted him with a smile on his face.
The two were originally close friends, if it weren't for Zhang Song, Fa Zheng might not have been able to get Chen Xu's attention, and now they are both working in Yizhou, and their relationship is getting closer and closer.
"I just saw filial piety and frowned, so what's the matter?"
Fa Zhengdao: "That Pang Tong has the name of Feng Xiao, and he is by no means a person who has lost his name, and it is impossible not to know that Wuguan is difficult to overcome." ”
"In that case, why haven't the Jingzhou soldiers made any moves until now?"
Zhang Song thought for a while and said, "Since Xiaozhi knows that Pang Shiyuan is not a mediocre talent, he must have made amazing moves and do things that are difficult for you and me to think of." ”
Fa Zheng paused, and then asked, "How can I act so that you and I can't think of it?" ”
Zhang Song shook his head with a wry smile and said, "If I could guess it, I would have told Xiaozhi a long time ago." ”
"It's hard to think of, it's unexpected; It's hard to think of, it's unexpected. ”
Fa Zheng seemed to be stunned, and kept muttering in a low voice, Zhang Song didn't bother Fa Zheng, just frowned and thought hard.
"Oops!"
Suddenly, Fa Zheng slapped his thigh and exclaimed.
Zhang Song hurriedly asked, "What did Xiaozhi think of?" ”
Fa Zheng was a little short of breath and said, "From the very beginning, we thought that if the Jingzhou soldiers attacked Yizhou, they would definitely take Hanzhong first. ”
"Because Hanzhong is not only very close to Wuguan, but also the junction of Yizhou, Guanzhong, Liangzhou, and Jingzhou, the strategic location is very important, if the Jingzhou army captures Hanzhong, the southern counties of Yizhou will become a lonely land."
"It is precisely because Hanzhong is too important and too close to Wuguan that we have this kind of thought."
"But that Pang Shiyuan is not an ordinary person, what we think in our hearts he must be able to guess a thing or two, knowing that even if Shizi and Zhongda lead the army to the south, Hanzhong will definitely be well guarded."
"If at this time, Liu Xuandeming attacked Wuguan, but in fact, he quietly led his troops south, and then went up the Yangtze River and raided into Ba County, what should I do?"
Zhang Song was shocked when he heard this, and said: "Even if the Jingzhou soldiers attack Ba County, there are two dangerous passes, Jiameng Pass and Sword Pavilion, it is impossible for them to hit Chengdu, right?" ”
Fa Zheng shook his head and said: "Liu Xuande doesn't need to attack Chengdu, he only needs to go south to attack the rest of the counties in Yizhou, and then join forces with the people of Yiyue to turn Yizhou upside down." ”
"Even, the entire Guanzhong battle situation will be at a disadvantage because of Yizhou's defeat."
Zhang Song pondered for a long time, his face became extremely solemn, he knew that Fa Zheng was by no means alarmist.
If it is in normal times, even if the Jingzhou soldiers take Ba County by surprise, it will be difficult to hit Chengdu, as long as Hanzhong is not lost, Guanzhong reinforcements will continue to enter Yizhou.
And with the danger of the mountains and rivers in Yizhou, the advance of the Jingzhou army will definitely be delayed.
However, now that the Seventh Route Army is crusading against Chen Xu, although the defense of Guanzhong is easy, if the battle situation changes along the way, it will definitely affect all the battles.
If Liu Bei invades Ba County, joins forces with the Yiyue rebels, and stirs up the situation in Yizhou, the consequences will be extremely serious.
Fa Zheng thought about it, and suddenly felt cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "Without further ado, the troops will be divided into three routes, and they will rush all the way to Ba County, and inform General Gan Ning to be on guard." ”
"The second way is to inform General Xu Huang and ask him to send troops into Ba County; The third way is to inform the prince, let them take a break from the Yiyue rebellion, and directly lead the troops into Ba County, and now there is no need to continue to confuse the Jingzhou soldiers. ”
Zhang Song also knew that the matter was urgent, and he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, so he had to go out to make arrangements.
Fa Zheng suddenly said: "Ba County absolutely cannot afford to lose, this time I am going to go to Ba County in person, and all the affairs in Chengdu will be handed over to Zi Qiao first." ”
Zhang Song was shocked when he heard this, and said: "There are not many soldiers and horses in Ba County, if Liu Xuande really seeks to capture Ba County, he will definitely be fully prepared, wouldn't it be dangerous to go to Ba County with filial piety?" ”
Fa Zheng said excitedly: "The lord is like a brother and sister, if I can't hold Ba County, I would rather repay with death, Zi Qiaoxiu will mention it again!" ”
Zhang Song knew that Fa Zheng dared to act, dare to love and hate, and did not persuade again.
In this way, the three people rushed to three places respectively, and Fa Zheng was also one of them, he traveled lightly, and then rushed to Jiangzhou under the stars.
At the same time, Sima Yi, who was confronting the Yiyue rebels in the south, also felt that something was wrong.
Today, this bluffing suspicious army in the south has lost its effect, so Sima Yi made a statement to Chen Zheng, asking him to ignore the rebellion and lead the people directly into Ba County.
Chengdu is not far from Jiangzhou, Fa Zheng first rode a horse and galloped, and then came to Jiangzhou by boat.
After seeing Gan Ning, Fa Zheng did not have the slightest politeness, and directly informed him of what he guessed, and Gan Ning was also shocked when he heard this.
"General Gan quickly dispatched the fastest warship, followed me down the river to garrison Jiangguan, and then let General Wu Yi lead the army to follow up from behind."
Without further ado, Gan Ning immediately acted according to the plan, selected more than 2,000 of the most elite sailors, and rushed to Jiangguan in a new-style warship.
……
At the junction of Jingzhou and Yizhou, there is the steep Wushan Mountain, and it is difficult for the two states to communicate with each other without taking a boat from the Yangtze River.
Therefore, the section of the Yangtze River at the junction of the two states has become a battleground for soldiers.
To the west of Wushan, in Ba County, on the bank of the Yangtze River, there is a county town named Yufu, which is the only pass from Jingzhou to Yizhou Ba County.
The so-called Yufu is the White Emperor City of later generations.
In history, Liu Bei of Shu Han was defeated by Wu general Lu Xun, retreated to a city and entrusted Zhuge Liang, which was in this county.
Of course, Yufu is just an ordinary county town, and its defense capability is not very good.
During the war, Ba and Chu competed, and in order to guard against the powerful Chu State, Pakistan built another dangerous pass on the bank of the Yangtze River in Yufu.
This pass is located on the Chijia Mountain on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and then moved to the south bank of the Yangtze River, called Jiangguan.
The strategic location of Jiangguan and Yufu is not unimportant, and Gan Ning ordered Zhang Yi, the general of Yizhou, to lead 2,000 troops to garrison here.
Zhang Yi is one of the heroes of Yizhou who came to defect after Chen Xu obtained Yizhou, and he is deeply valued by Gan Ning.
Ever since the princes began to crusade against Chen Xu, Zhang Yi had been cautious, for fear that the Jingzhou soldiers would come to attack Jiangguan.
Even if the news of Jingzhou's soldiers attacking Wuguan came later, Zhang Yi did not dare to slack off.
On this day, Zhang Yi finished his inspection, and when night fell, he went to rest in the city, for safety, he still sent many soldiers to stand on the city wall to observe the movement of the river.
That night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and at midnight the east wind suddenly rose, and I saw a dense number of warships, going upriver along the Yangtze River.
Thanks to the help of the east wind, the speed of the warship was extremely fast, even if it was going against the current.
Although the view of the city was wide, it was night, and there were no torches on the warships, and it was not until the warships came to the city that the defenders of the city found the enemy's traces.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”
The mournful shout immediately broke the silence of the night, and a burst of arrows broke through the air, and the soldiers defending the city were immediately shot into a sieve.
