"The main armies of Yuan Shao and Liu Biao are currently on the battlefield of Guanzhong, while Yuan Wei's Yuzhou army and Cao Cao's Yanzhou army are all on the south bank of the Yellow River, ready to prevent the northern Xinjiang army from crossing the river to the south, and the Kwantung forces are already very weak at this time. It is enough to explain the problem that www.biquge.info Chun Yuqiong gave up attacking Xin'an and led the army to retreat to Hangu Pass. The lord led an army of 56,000 and will attack Hangu Pass in the near future and take Luoyang. Xu Da 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." Xun Di laughed loudly.

"Yuan Shao may not necessarily withdraw his troops." Xu Da's big hand stretched out to the Central Plains on the map, "Luoyang City is tall and strong, it may not be lost in the short term, at this time, Yuan Wei of Yanzhou can withdraw his troops to help, and Zhang Yang of Hanoi can also cross the river to the south. ”

"Haha, then Yuan Shaoke will be miserable." Lu Bu 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 lord's pocket." ”

"Yuan Shao has no other way but to withdraw from Guanzhong and rush back to help." Zhao Yun slapped his palm on the desk and shouted, "Guanzhong is ours." ”

There was jubilation in the tent.

"Yuan Shao dared to fight with us, and he didn't claim how heavy he was, this time he was dead!"

Xu Da's face suddenly sank, and he said coldly: "If you think like this, this battle will be lost." ”

Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Xun Di and others thought that Xu Da was joking, and they were still smiling, looking like victory was within reach.

"You should have heard of Hebei's financial situation." Xu Da said solemnly, "This year, it is impossible for the Northern Xinjiang Army to fight 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 lord's feint attack can work. If the feint attack works, Yuan Shao withdraws his troops, and we can occupy Guanzhong at the minimum cost. Of course, if God has eyes, the battle of the lord to attack the Kanto 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. ”

Xu Da looked at the generals and continued with a cold expression: "If the feint attack can't work, we will inevitably fall into a bitter battle in Guanzhong, and the result is difficult to predict, so ......"

Xu Da suddenly raised his voice and said loudly: "We must annihilate the remnants of the Xiliang Army as soon as possible. As long as we annihilate the remnants of the Xiliang Army, even if we lose Guanzhong, we will still be able to pacify the world in the shortest possible time and prosper the Han Dynasty. ”

"Brother Tiande means, let's fight Li Dao first?" Zhao Yun asked in surprise.

"Yes." Xu Da waved his hand vigorously, "As long as the lord defeats Hangu Pass, Yuan Shao will definitely hesitate, at this time, we will immediately go out and resolutely kill Li Dao and Guo Yan, and annihilate the Xiliang army." ”

In mid-May, Kansai, Hanya Pass.

The general Li Yi and the general Yue Fei approached the pass with an army of 56,000.

On 12 May, Huang Zhong, Xu Huang, Li Le, Guan Hai and other generals of the Northern Xinjiang Army led their headquarters to set up a large camp and commanded 32,000 soldiers to begin preparations for the siege.

On the 13th, Yue Fei, the general of Zhengxi, and Gao Changgong, the general of Zhenbei, led the Chinese army to arrive, and Huang Zhong and the generals accompanied Yue Fei and Gao Changgong to inspect the camp.

At the Hangu Pass, fifty giant catapults had been installed, and the soldiers of the chariot army were conducting test firings with the cooperation of the people, and the deafening shouts and the howling of the boulders tearing the air resounded through the mountains.

In front of the catapults, a thousand ballistas were already in place, and the ballistas pointing diagonally to the sky were like bloodthirsty beasts, ready to go.

The people flowed endlessly, converging into two long gray dragons, carrying them on their shoulders or driving carriages, and were sending all kinds of siege equipment and weapons such as swords, guns, arrows and other weapons into the camp.

"In accordance with the Lord's order, we have prepared 200,000 straw bags." Li Le pointed to the mountain in the distance and said, "Now 20,000 people are filling the soil at the foot of the nearby mountain, and by tomorrow, 200,000 straw bags will be filled." ”

Yue Fei nodded and said with a serious face: "Generals, you must remember that we can't delay in Hangu Pass for too long. Hangu Pass must be conquered as soon as possible, and then the army will kill Luoyang directly. Our goal is Luoyang, and after taking Luoyang, the situation in the world will completely change, and we can completely calm the world in the shortest possible time. ”

Huang Zhong and the generals looked solemn and nodded again and again.

"General Yue, is the lord going to Hangu Pass?" Guan Hai asked.

"The lord has already arrived in Michi, and he will be able to reach Hangu Pass tomorrow." Yue Fei looked up at the majestic Hangu Pass in front of him, turned around and asked, "Gongming, you have been confronting Chun Yuqiong in Xin'an City, can you determine how many defenders there are in the pass?" ”

"Before Chun Yuqiong withdrew, there were about 20,000 horses." Xu Huang frowned and said, "After the battle in Guanzhong began, Yuan Shao probably estimated that we were going to attack Guandong and threaten the safety of Luoyang, so he ordered Chun Yuqiong to immediately retreat to Hangu Pass. Now it seems that this Hangu Pass is impregnable. ”

"Pengju, although we have more than 50,000 horses in Guanxi, only 32,000 people can really participate in the attack on Hangu Pass, and the number of troops is obviously insufficient." Huang Zhong walked into Yue Fei and asked in a low voice, "The Lord Lord's attack on Kanto should be a feint." The purpose is to contain Yuan Shao's forces in Guanzhong and force him to withdraw his troops to reinforce, but you just said that our target is Luoyang, so it doesn't seem like a feint? ”

"You think that the lord's attack on Luoyang is a feint, so does Yuan Shao also think so?" Yue Fei looked at the generals and said slowly, "Since the direction of the Kanto is a feint, will Yuan Shao withdraw his troops to help?" He certainly won't withdraw his troops. Therefore, we must change the feint attack to the main attack, and make Yuan Shao convinced that our main attack direction is not Guanzhong. Once Yuan Shao withdraws his troops and returns to help, we will be able to take Guanzhong at the lowest cost, and then the feint attack on the Kwantung battlefield will immediately become the main attack. ”

"We not only want to take Guanzhong, but also take Luoyang. took Luoyang and hit Yuan Shao hard, and the days of stabilizing the world are numbered. Yue Fei raised his eyes and looked around, and sighed softly, "Therefore, the lord personally rushed to Hangu Pass, and he wanted to convince Yuan Shao that our goal this year is not only to occupy Guanzhong, but also to take advantage of the situation to occupy Guandong, so as to quickly complete the great cause of Zhongxing." ”

"Of course, that's what the lord thinks. Therefore, whether it is Guanzhong or Kanto, both battlefields are the main offensive battlefields and both are feint offensive battlefields, and when it is a feint attack and when it is the main attack must change with the development of the situation. Whether we can win this battle or not depends not on the number of our troops, but whether Yuan Shao will withdraw his troops. ”

The generals were silent, and their hearts were heavy. The lord is in a hurry, wants to win a battle, and eats a fat man in one bite, can he do it? However, the lord has always been dangerous, and he has won many battles, and he will definitely not miss this time.

"Our troops are a little thin, and it is indeed a bit difficult to attack Kwantung, but as long as Yuan Shao withdraws his troops and Xu Da and Zilong take Guanzhong, the main force of the army can leak down from Tongguan and kill Kwantung directly, and the chances of victory are still very large." Yue Fei knew that the generals were full of doubts, so he comforted, "You don't have to worry about Zhang Yang in Hebei and Yuan Wei in Yuzhou rushing back to help Kanto. At present, generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Gao Shun, Zhang He, and Zhang Liao are marching on the north bank of the Yellow River, and as long as Zhang Yang and Yuan Wei make the slightest movement, they will wave their troops south, and the Kwantung region will lose faster. ”

"With the lord himself in Kansai, we will definitely be able to win a big victory." Huang Zhong said with a smile, "It's been a long time since you've fought such a hard battle, this time we're going to have a good time, and we're going to have a good time, and we're bleeding!" ”

The generals agreed with a bang.

………………

May 13, Luoyang.

After receiving Chun Yuqiong's urgent report, Shi Fuzhu, the head of the Che Cavalry General's Mansion who led the military and supervised the affairs of the Kwantung region, did not immediately send an eight-hundred-mile fast cavalry to Guanzhong to report to Yuan Shao, but wrote back to Chun Yuqiong and guarded the pass, not taking the matter to heart at all.

The next day, Chun Yuqiong reported again that Yue Fei, the general of the Northern Xinjiang Army, and Gao Changgong, the general of Zhenbei, led the Northern Xinjiang Army to the outside of the pass, and was preparing to attack.

He summoned the subordinates of the government to discuss.

Thinking that this was a diversionary attack by the Northern Xinjiang Army, it was normal, and there was no need to panic, he said: "The Guanzhong battlefield is currently at a critical moment, and the army cannot be withdrawn no matter what. At this time, it is not necessary to make a big fuss about such a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning, and it also disturbs the morale of the army, which is very detrimental to the overall situation. ”

Xu You, Chen Lin and others attached great importance to it and asked Fu Zhi to immediately inform Yuan Shao and ask him to withdraw his troops and return to help.

The two sides quarreled over this, and later Fu Zhu still followed Xu You's advice and wrote a letter to Yuan Shao, but in the book, he explained the situation in Hangu Pass very easily, and advised Yuan Shao not to worry about Guandong, concentrate the main force as soon as possible, and defeat the Northern Frontier Army in Guanzhong.

Xu You was not at ease, so he wrote a letter to Yuan Shao alone in his private name.

Xu You said in his letter: "Some time ago, the lord was worried that Liu Biao would take the opportunity to occupy Nanyang, so he ordered Gao Ran to take 10,000 troops to Nanyang, so now there are only 10,000 troops of Chun Yuqiong in the direction of Hangu Pass. If we add the troops stationed in Luoyang, Hujiao, Mengjin and other passes, the total strength of Kwantung is less than 20,000. ”

"Once the situation of the weak strength of the Kwantung region is known to Hebei, the Northern Xinjiang Army will definitely take advantage of the weakness to attack, and the feint will soon become the main attack. If Kanto is lost and Luoyang falls, even if the lord occupies Guanzhong, how can he gain a foothold? At that time, the lord has not only lost Kanto, but also failed to occupy Guanzhong, both places have been lost, and the strength will be hit hard, when will the hegemony be achieved?
