Chapter 442: See Yang'an Pass Again
PS: Genuine readers, please read it later, thank you for your support. Chencang is located in the westernmost part of the Qinchuan River in 800 miles, close to Weishui, is the intersection of Longshan and Qinling, west of Longyou, Nantong Hanzhong, the special geographical location has created the importance of Chencang. It is said that more than 7,000 years ago, there were ancestors who lived here, "ruled by Fuxi, born by Emperor Yan, and capitalized by the Yellow Emperor." "During the Western Zhou Dynasty, Qin Xianggong was divided into princes for saving Zhou and escorting King Zhou Ping to move eastward, and Chen Cang became the birthplace of Qin State.
But what really made Chen Cang famous all over the world was a generation of famous general Han Xin. When it comes to Han Xin, people can't help but think of an idiom "Ming Xiu plank road, secretly cross Chen Cang". And this Chen Cang refers to Chen Cang Pass.
Qin lost its deer, the world chased it, at that time Liu Bang and Xiang Yu agreed, who entered the Guanzhong first, who will be the king of Guanzhong, although Liu Bang preemptively entered the Guanzhong, broke through Xianyang, but then Xiang Yu did not abide by the original agreement, Liu Bang was the king of Han, the fief in Bashu and Hanzhong. Liu Bang forced the situation, temporarily forbeared, went to Hanzhong, and burned the plank road, showing weakness to Xiang Yu, saying that he no longer had the idea of competing for the throne. Later, Liu Bang worshiped Han Xin as a general, repaired the plank road in the Ming Dynasty, secretly crossed Chencang, and won Guanzhong in one fell swoop, thus laying the foundation of the Han family for 400 years.
When Zhuge Liang's second Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, he walked the old way of Chen Cang, when Wei General Hao Zhao led more than 1,000 people to guard Chen Cang, he was stunned to block Zhuge Liang's tens of thousands of troops under Chen Cang City, and fought fiercely for more than 20 days, and the Shu army suffered heavy casualties. When the food ran out, they were forced to retreat. Following the first Northern Expedition, the street pavilion was lost and returned in vain. The second Northern Expedition was also hindered by Chen Cang, and ended without a problem.
The success of the Battle of Chencang was not so much Hao Zhao's exploits. It is better to say that Chen Cang is strong, Hao Zhao can lead more than 1,000 people to fight a defensive battle with a Shu army ten or twenty times his own, without the strong walls of Chen Cang City as a guarantee, it is almost unimaginable.
After that battle, decades passed, and the defensive value of Chencang was not ignored by the Wei State, as a first-class important town on the Guanlong defense line, the Wei State has always been heavily garrisoned. Never let up.
Last winter, Liu Yin led the army to raid Longxi, and in just half a month, the five counties of Longxi changed hands, and Chen Cang, as the forefront of the position, stood on the cusp of the wind and waves.
Chencang is not only the west entrance of the 800-mile Qinchuan River, but also the throat road leading to Hanzhong.
Sima Wang was ordered to be in danger. As the governor of Yongliang, the first thing he did after flying to Chang'an was. decisively replaced Chen Cang's guards, and sent Wang Hun, the captain of the Yue Cavalry, to guard Chen Cang.
Chen Cang's gains and losses are related to the overall situation of the entire Guanzhong, and even the overall situation of the world, Sima Wang did not dare to have the slightest carelessness, even though he knew that the cold weather was not suitable for the use of troops, Liu Yin might not attack Chen Cang, but for the sake of insurance, Sima Wang still sent his henchman Wang Hun to Chen Cang as soon as possible, leading 3,000 troops to garrison.
Wang Hun and Taiyuan people, the son of Sikong Wang Chang, Sima Wang's last time as the general of the expedition to the west and the governor of Yongliang, Wang Hun served as the expedition to the west to join the army, brave and strategic, won the respect of Sima Wang, and later transferred out of Yongzhou, returned to the court to serve as the captain of the Yue cavalry.
In the Han Dynasty, the Yuecai lieutenant was one of the five schools of the Northern Army, and he was an important general who really controlled the military power, but in the Wei Dynasty, the Yuecai lieutenant had become a kind of false position, Wang Hun had a good relationship with Cao Shuang, and after Cao Shuang was executed, Wang Hun was equivalent to idleness. After Sima Wang became the governor of Yongliang this time, Sima Zhao gave him great power to appoint and dismiss personnel, and the appointment and dismissal of officials in Yongliang was decided by Sima Wang alone. In view of the importance of Chen Cang, Sima Wang thought twice and decided to recruit Wang Hun, who was idle in the court, to serve as Chen Cang's defender to resist Liu Yin's attack.
After Cao Shuang's death, Wang Hun once thought that his political life was over, and he couldn't help but become disheartened.
At the same time, he knows better how heavy the weight rests on his shoulders, but the greater the pressure, the stronger the motivation, Wang Hun almost braved the wind and snow, all the way to Chencang to take office, when Sima Wang arrived in Chang'an, Wang Hun even took the first step to reach Chencang, which was farther away than Chang'an.
After arriving at Chencang, Wang Hun did not relax for a moment, and did not be careless because of the heavy snow blocking the road, and relaxed Chencang's defense. He personally commanded the military and civilian construction of Chencang to repair and build together, and built Chencang Pass as solid as gold.
After the renovation of the previous guards, the defense capability of the entire city has been greatly improved, and the inner and outer walls are extremely solid, and Wang Hun is very confident that he will fight the battle of Chencang. Hao Zhao, the former guard general of Chen Cang, is a native of Taiyuan, Wang Hun was impressed by the great military exploits that this fellow had made in Chen Cang, and at the same time, he also secretly swore that he would never let Chen Cang be lost in his own hands, and let Chen Cang become the burial place of the Shu people.
However, the whole winter was still quite calm, and Wang Hun didn't even see half of the Shu army, which made Wang Hun with a strong desire to fight quite depressed, but he still did his duty to do a good job as a general.
Spring came, and the Wei army in the entire Guanzhong also took action, and Wang Hun's mind became active, and he took the initiative to ask Sima Wang to go to war, willing to lead Chen Cang's troops to attack Jieting.
Of course, Sima Wang could not agree, and ordered Wang Hun to stick to Chen Cang and not leave his post without permission.
This made Wang Hun extremely depressed, in his opinion, Sima Wang's 100,000 army would definitely sweep across the entire Longyou, but he could only stay in Chencang City, waiting for the enemy who did not know when it would appear. In his opinion, perhaps there will never be any more opportunities in this life.
But the development of facts is often beyond people's expectations, Wang Hun never expected that Sima Wang's army would be defeated in Jieting, and it was a very miserable defeat, and the cavalry of the entire vanguard battalion was almost wiped out, such a fiasco rarely happened after the establishment of the Wei State.
After Sima Wang's defeat, the Shu army was stationed on the front line of Longshan, eyeing the tiger, and it seemed that the battle of Chen Cang was inevitable.
However, Wang Hun was not afraid, but was full of enthusiasm, because he was looking forward to this moment for a long, long time.
