"The enemy wants to fortify his position, but I will catch him unawares. The enemy wants to charge straight ahead, so I will prepare for him." Hu Qiang's Military Strategy
There was no words all the way. Everyone drove on the mountain road for a few quarters of an hour. They turned a corner along the mountain road. The mountains in front of them suddenly became extremely majestic. In some places, the mountains undulated like a roaring tide. In some places, the old trees were towering and startling.
Where the ape cries at night, the river breaks out and there are deep valleys.
Wang Chang walked in front of the team with one foot high and one foot low. His inner lining was soaked with sweat and he was chilled by the night wind. He looked back at the team and ordered those behind to follow them and watch the road carefully. He also called the locals over and asked
: "How far is it from Aoguan? Is the mountain road ahead so difficult?"
The villager said: "After bypassing this mountain road, it will become wider if you walk forward. There is a deserted river somewhere, and the road is much easier to walk than here. Not far along the river is Aoguan Pass."
"Send an order to the back, asking them to follow quickly. We will reach the level ground soon!" After Wang Chang gave the instructions to the people next to him, he walked a few more steps and asked nonchalantly to the villagers following him: "I heard,
Liu Xiongming is called an immortal among you?"
The countryman was stunned, and then said: "He? I know him. When he was young, he collected herbs and hunted in the mountains like me. However, he had no father or mother and had always lived in a thatched hut at the foot of Fuche Mountain. Fuche
The mountain is still behind Yaoguan, and there are many clouds and mist in the mountain. He walks in the mist every day and has never lost his way. So people who see him say that he can stir up clouds and spit out mist, or that there are immortals in the mountain who can guide him."
"In the past few years, the barbarians from Liangzhou were causing trouble in Guanzhong, and many people from Lantian County came to join him. Unexpectedly, this kid became a leader." The countryman muttered a few words, but couldn't come up with anything valuable to say.
Afterwards, Wang Chang waved his hand and asked him to go to the front and lead the way.
On the mountain road full of thorns and gravel, Wang Chang stared at the back of the countryman walking in front, and said to Xu Huang, who had been quietly listening to the conversation between the two, "I thought this person really knew some magic tricks."
Law, but I didn’t expect it to be like this.”
"This is the principle of spreading rumors and spreading them more and more wrongly." Xu Huang looked around at the quiet mountains and fields around him and said expressionlessly: "Liu Xiongming already had thousands of people gathered. During this time, we have been annihilating the big and small bandits one after another.
Most of those who were close fled here. I expect that although their military strength has increased greatly, their food and grass may not be enough."
Wang Chang nodded and said: "As long as we occupy Gaoguan, it will take us a few days to wait for them to disintegrate on their own."
Xu Huang didn't even look at Wang Chang, but still looked at the surroundings vigilantly, and said: "Although this idea is good, it is not very appropriate. If they are smart, they can lead the crowd along the Wuguan Road
Go south, run all the way to Nanyang, or fight to the death here. It will take our army a few days to take it easily. But "
Wang Chang followed his words and said, "Just what?"
"It's just that no matter what the outcome is, we will have to spend several days here. As the Forbidden Army, we should be invincible, but now we are delaying this. What will the country think?" Xu Huang said a few words lightly.
, making Wang Chang blush.
Although what Xu Huang said was true, Wang Chang was still a little unhappy. He was a tiger guard who had guarded the emperor for generations. This man never looked at him once during the whole process. Wasn't he just a military commander in charge of hundreds of people?
I used to be a Yellow Turban bandit, so how could I be so arrogant?
Wang Chang felt very angry in his heart, and he had to let him see what he could do when the battle came.
When everyone was halfway there, the scouts in front came back to report the news, saying that pine branch torches had been lit at Aoguan Pass and that Liu Xiongming's men had occupied Aoguan Pass first.
Wang Chang cursed angrily: "You bastard, I was waiting to hurry up, but I didn't expect them to get the first step!"
Xu Huang touched the handle of the knife with his right hand and muttered: "Aoguan is surrounded by water and mountains. Due to the terrain, we are only more than 300 people, so it is not easy to fight."
He asked again: "How about closing the wall there?"
The scout replied: "I have taken a closer look and it seems that the Pass has not been repaired for many years. Several of the battlements above have collapsed, and there are still gaps in some places."
"Is that true?" Xu Huang suddenly became more energetic, and called the local guide to ask carefully several times. After repeated confirmation, he learned that there were only business travelers on Wuguan Road all year round, and Aoguan had been there many years ago.
It lost its military value and was left unmaintained. All that remains now is a wall built two hundred years ago.
Wang Chang said: "Now we should report this matter to General Gai immediately. We will camp here to rest and wait for military orders from the rear."
After saying that, without waiting for Xu Huang's consent, he recruited a tiger man and sent him back along the road to deliver the message.
Xu Huang understood Wang Chang's eagerness to prove his dominance among this group of people. But he didn't say anything and just watched all this. After the tiger tiger left, Xu Huang
Akira then spoke: "If this is all, I won't get any military exploits from this trip."
"They have already occupied the Pass, what credit can we get?" Wang Chang retorted: "We can't just rely on us to compete with those thousands of people at night, right?"
"Grab the pass" Xu Huang looked in the direction of the pass, thoughtfully: "It's not impossible!"
"What did you say?" Wang Chang's voice couldn't help but become louder, almost frightening the birds in the forest. He reacted, lowered his voice, and said sternly: "You don't want your life! We are only three hundred people, and we haven't even dressed yet."
With armor, a sword, and dozens of bows, how can one capture the gate? Stop dreaming!"
Xu Huang did not answer him. Instead, he called the scouts again and asked: "How are the guards on Guancheng? Can they wear armor?"
"There are about a thousand people coming here, none of them are wearing armor, and even their clothes are in tatters."
Xu Huang nodded and said to Wang Chang: "From what I have seen in the past when suppressing bandits, those bandits have no knowledge of strategy, let alone military affairs. Today, Liu Xiongming can think of sending people to occupy Yuguan, which is considered a leader among bandits.
It's a bit clever. But thieves are thieves after all. If they could have predicted that we would come here at night, I would not believe it."
"Presumably in the eyes of Liu Xiongming and others, our army should camp at Yaoliu tonight, and we will not be able to march until tomorrow at the earliest." At this time, Xu Huang and Wang Chang had walked to a high ground on the hillside. Under the cover of the lush forest and night, they
Carefully glance at the Pass on the opposite side.
Wang Chang was not a fool. Seeing what Xu Huang said was clear and logical, although he felt a little unhappy, he still consciously agreed with the other party's point of view: "You mean, they won't seriously defend tonight, because they didn't expect me to wait.
By now we have arrived at the Pass."
"This is to attack him unprepared and take him by surprise. This is a good opportunity for a night attack." Xu Huang finally looked at Wang Chang seriously. Every move was so calm and unhurried. He said in a consultative tone: "I wonder if there is any
If you are interested, take an adventure with me."
Thank you for your suggestions! I read the comments and found that there were more people who advocated Xiandi Ji than others, so I decided on this name for now. I will apply to the editor to change the title of the book, and there should be a result in the next two days.
I hope you don’t delete it by mistake, otherwise I will vomit blood.
