At the end of the Han Dynasty, the Shu army was victorious, but they were unable to do anything against Ziwu Valley. Therefore, there is a saying that they were all defeated until Ziwu. Ziwu Valley is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it only guards the throat of the Qinling Mountains. Once you leave Ziwu Valley, you can attack directly.
Xi'an, Guanzhong, so Ziwu Valley has always been a battleground for military strategists.
Standing on the Heishui Valley Dazhai, a sense of pride arises spontaneously. For some reason, living in Ziwu Valley and looking down at the earth, I feel as if the heaven and earth are in my hands. Perhaps this is the reason why Ziwu Valley swallows up mountains and rivers. Let’s take a closer look.
History, after thousands of years of wind and rain, the roosters and dog robbers have long gone away, but the Yellow River remains unchanged forever, with turbulent waves and long passes. How many heroes have fallen here. Overlooking the Central Plains, the mountains reflect the setting sun, and the purple air comes from the east. When you get to Ziwu Valley, you can take it.
In Guanzhong, a tiger looks at the Central Plains. If you get Jianmen Pass, you can get thousands of miles of fertile wilderness in Shu. With Hanzhong in hand, you can seize the world. Therefore, Ziwu Valley has always been the two most important places in the world.
Guanzhong is a natural chasm, including Ziwu Valley. The dangerous journey is hundreds of miles away, and you can hold the country in one hand.
When troops leave the Ziwu Valley, they seem to be able to take the Weinan Plain by surprise and seize the city of Xi'an in the shortest possible time. However, the risks involved are very high. In history, there are few successful examples of those who took the Ziwu Valley route. At the end of the Han Dynasty,
During the Northern Expedition of the Shu Kingdom, they did not dare to try this road until the end. The roads in the Ziwu Valley were narrow and there were countless plank roads, so the troops moved very slowly. The most terrible thing was that once someone laid an ambush in advance and waited for work, there was very little hope of breaking out.
Gao Yingxiang also knows the danger of taking this road, but he has no other choice. If he wants to reverse the decline in the shortest time, there is only this shortcut, otherwise he will be trapped and die in Shangluo area. Moreover, in Gao Yingxiang
Come to think of it, whether you take Chencang Road or other roads, the risks are actually the same. Even if you take Chencang Road, how much safer is it than Ziwu Valley?
When Gao Yingxiang rushed all the soldiers and horses into Ziwu Valley, the chess game played by Tie Mo and Wang Zuo Guabu gradually became clear. Hong Chengchou and Aqige transferred most of the soldiers and horses around Xi'an Mansion to Heishui Valley.
, Cao Wenzhao from Sanshui County also retreated to Xianyang, and even asked Cao Bianjiao to lead a group of troops to the Fairy Terrace of Ziwu Valley. The main force of the Northern Shanxi Army in the south was divided into two groups, one from Shanyang County.
As a basis, we attacked from the north and south and connected with Hanyin County, forming a semicircular encirclement network that surrounded Ziwu Town at the south entrance of Ziwu Valley.
Almost at the same time, soldiers and horses from all walks of life in Shaanxi mobilized and all aimed at Gao Yingxiang's army in Ziwu Valley. Their intention was self-evident, which was to take this opportunity to destroy Gao Yingxiang.
The intentions of the officers and soldiers were very obvious, but Wang Ziyong did not dare to act rashly. Now that he could hide in Qingyang Mansion and lick his wounds, it was already very good. How could he dare to send troops to make the King of Hell unhappy again? On the other side, Li Zicheng and Li Zicheng who were stationed near Wuguan and
Zhang Xianzhong was also at his wits' end. Li Zicheng was glad that he had not gone to Ziwu Valley, otherwise he would have been caught in this big net.
Zhang Xianzhong had never been very fond of Li Zicheng, but in this situation he was more willing to trust Li Zicheng's judgment. In the room, the two heroes all had gloomy faces. Zhang Xianzhong held the wine glass and whispered: "General Li, what should we do next?
What to do? Are you really not going to Hanyin?"
Li Zicheng had a wry smile on his face. He shook his head and said with some self-deprecation: "Go to Hanyin? Leader Zhang, what do you think the King of Hell is doing with half of his troops lying across Shanyang? The Northern Shanxi Army is just waiting for us to come to our door."
Well, our attack on Hanyin at this time is playing into the hands of the Living Hell King. Don't forget, Henan Commander Ding Luyan has already led his troops to rush up from behind us. As long as we dare to move, the Living Hell King will definitely give up Ziwu Town.
It crippled us."
Li Zicheng was very angry. If his uncle had listened to his advice and not rushed north, why would he have done this? Unfortunately, it was too late.
Zhang Xianzhong frowned deeply, drank the bitter wine in the cup, and sighed: "The King of Hell is really cruel this time. He even mobilized Ding Luyan's soldiers and horses. Those are Henan soldiers."
Even horses, he dares to train them."
"What's there to be afraid of?" Li Zicheng curled his lips, "Don't forget, he still holds the title of Governor of three provinces."
"Hey, what should we do next? If we don't rescue Ziwu Valley, we can't stay here in Wuguan. Who can guarantee that the Living King of Hell won't attack us first?" Zhang Xianzhong said with a smile on his face. Since the end of the Yanshui River War,
In the end, he was completely frightened, and now he had no intention of taking action against the Living King of Hell.
Li Zicheng pondered for a moment and looked into the distance with gloomy eyes, "Where to go? Hey, King Chuang has no choice but to leave it to fate. Naturally we have to leave Wuguan. Didn't the King of Hell bring Ding Luyan's troops here? Then
We will go to Guozhou, cross the Yellow River and enter the territory of Henan Prefecture. We will turn the Central Plains upside down, and by then we may be able to solve the dilemma in Ziwu Valley."
Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help but his eyes lit up. Yes, Ding Luyan led his troops into Hanzhong. The Henan Prefecture was empty of troops, and the rebels took advantage of it. Once the rebels entered the Central Plains, the imperial court would not be able to quickly dispatch troops. At that time, the living king of hell should also divide his troops.
The fire in the Central Plains has been put out. If the Living King of Hell does not divide his troops, the court will not be able to let him go.
"Okay, let's do this. When will the troops start?"
"Tomorrow, we will raid Guozhou while it's dark." Li Zicheng's eyes flashed with a trace of ruthlessness, and he didn't believe that he couldn't mess up this game. If Tie Mo wants to rely on Ziwu Valley to kill most of the rebels in one go, that depends on him.
If he has this strength, even if he wins, two of his teeth will be broken.
When Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were discussing evacuation, Tie Mo had already led the army to Hanyin.
After seeing Tie Mo, Li Jiucheng bowed his hands and saluted, "Superintendent, Gao Yingxiang has already led the troops into Ziwu Valley, but let the white-haired rat Jinbiao lead the troops to stop at Zishui Town in the east. There is no sign of going north. See
It seems that we will be stationed in Zishui Town for a while."
Zishui Town? Tie Mo is a little confused about what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd. Zishui Town is still forty miles away from Ziwu Valley. He stationed his troops in Zishui Town to attack Ziwu Valley.
Or help guard Ziwu Valley?
Of course, Zishui Town couldn't figure it out, because Jin Biao had no intention of entering Ziwu Valley at all. Jin Biao was not a fool. The Northern Shanxi Army could react so quickly. Who can guarantee that the soldiers and horses in Xi'an Prefecture had not made preparations in advance.
Rushing into Ziwu Valley was almost courting death. It happened that King Chuang needed a troop of troops to roam around the outskirts of Ziwu Town to delay the officers and soldiers' entry into Ziwu Valley, so Jin Biao volunteered to take on the job. But, Jin Biao never planned it.
Instead of taking the initiative, he only thought about running to Hanzhong.
Jinbiao bet that the main target of the officers and soldiers was the King Chuang's army in Ziwu Valley. As long as the officers and soldiers did not pay attention to his small role, he could hope to escape before the encirclement was formed.
On the other side, Gao Yingxiang didn't know Jin Biao's thoughts. He had already gone deep into the hinterland of Ziwu Valley. The army came to a place called Xiaoyue Peak. Now there was a troop of soldiers and horses stationed on Xiaoyue Peak. Gao Yingxiang had to stop. The leaders discussed
After a while, he finally ordered the Nine-flaming Bird King Zhongyang to lead his troops.
Under the starry night, a large army came from the southwest. At this time, there was very little movement. The army of tens of thousands passed through the narrow Xiaoyuefeng Pass. It took a full hour, but it all fell to the ground.
In the eyes of others.
At Xiaoyuefeng Village, two people hurried into the village and said to the general, "General Li, the imperial troops have already gone up the mountain, and the leader is the Nine-Fighting Bird King Zhongyang!"
This General Li was none other than Li Yangchun, the leader of the rebel army who had defected to Tiemo earlier. Li Yangchun had been studying in Zhangbei before, and now he had just been transferred here, but he didn't expect to be entrusted with an important task and meet his old man.
Familiar Nine Flame Birds.
"Wang Zhongyang, is this guy okay?" Li Yangchun secretly pouted. This guy is a slippery person. Once the situation is unfavorable, this guy can run faster than anyone else. It seems that Gao Yingxiang really doesn't have many useful people under his command.
He actually asked Wang Zhongyang to be the vanguard.
The name Nine Flaming Birds sounds deceptive, but it actually means that Wang Zhongyang is not firm-minded and has too many ideas.
"Tell me to go down, resist for a while, throw the torch and burn the village, and then withdraw to Fairy Terrace from the north!" Li Yangchun sneered. Even if he retreats, he will leave a mess for Wang Zhongyang. If you don't want Xiao Yuefeng, I will give it to you.
Leave a dilapidated cottage behind.
Just after midnight, Wang Zhongyang led his troops to launch a surprise attack on Xiaoyuefeng. This time, Wang Zhongyang took the lead and was very powerful. After half an hour, the two thousand soldiers of the Northern Shanxi Army who were guarding Xiaoyuefeng were driven out of the stronghold. However, Wang Zhongyang
He was not very happy either, because the Xiaoyuefeng Mountain Stronghold was burned to ashes by the soldiers of the Northern Shanxi Army. As soon as he occupied the Xiaoyuefeng Mountain Stronghold, Wang Zhongyang sent his soldiers to inform Gao Yingxiang. As a result, five soldiers came back within a quarter of an hour of going down.
To be precise, one was seriously injured and four died.
Wang Zhongyang's head was buzzing, and he asked anxiously, "Sanhe, what's going on? Didn't I tell you to inform King Chuang?"
"The leader of the king...the younger...the younger ones led the people halfway, and many people appeared at the Xiaoyuefeng Pass. Those people didn't say anything and just fired arrows. Several brothers were shot to death on the spot...
..”
Xiaoyuefeng Mountain Pass? Wang Zhongyang’s head almost exploded. Why would people appear at Xiaoyuefeng Mountain Pass? The terrain there is narrow, with cliffs and steep slopes on both sides. When we just came here, we had people inquire about it. It was clear that there was no one there. Those
How do people reach the Xiaoyuefeng Mountain Pass and fly there?
A group of big soldiers were not martial arts masters, so they could not fly over. Hua Xiaorong just asked people to hang ropes in advance and everyone hid under the steep slope. The ropes were often disguised with green vines, and the sky was dark. Wang Zhongyang's spies
Where did they find it? After waiting for the army to pass, everyone climbed up from the bottom of the slope along the rope, and then appeared at the Xiaoyuefeng Pass without anyone noticing.
Xiaoyuefeng Pass was blocked. You can imagine how serious the consequences are with your buttocks. At this time, the news of the enemy troops appearing at Xiaoyuefeng Pass has spread throughout Xiaoyuefeng. Tens of thousands of soldiers are panicking. In order to raid Xiaoyuefeng, everyone is
We went into battle lightly and only took food for half a day. We only planned to occupy Xiaoyuefeng and then transport it from the rear. Now that Xiaoyuefeng Pass is blocked and the baggage cannot be transported up, doesn't it mean that tens of thousands of troops can hold on for one day and will fight on an empty stomach tomorrow?
?
The purpose of rebellion is to eat. How many of those who really want to have wives and children, princes and generals? If you don't have food, who will fight with a knife, let alone the living king of hell.
For a while, there was everything on Xiaoyuefeng. Wang Zhongyang was walking around with a dark face. He felt that he was really unlucky. He had just occupied Xiaoyuefeng. He thought it was a great achievement. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the Northern Shanxi Army
So I dug a hole for him. No, this is not a hole. It is simply an abyss. We must not wait any longer. When we run out of food and grass, we will try to counterattack, but there is no hope at all. The plan for now is to
Make every effort to recapture Xiaoyuefeng Pass.
"Assemble... Assemble... Brothers, copycats, fight with those bullies." Wang Zhongyang greeted, and many people responded loudly. Half a quarter of an hour later, Wang Zhongyang led most of the people to turn around.
Rushing towards the pass of Xiaoyuefeng Mountain, there are many torches on the mountain, and the soldiers are all furious. The shouts of curses and anger can be heard throughout Xiaoyuefeng.
Wang Zhongyang led his men back to the Xiaoyuefeng Pass. At this moment, Li Yangchun had not returned to Fairy Terrace. Hearing from the spies behind the palace that the bandits had turned back to the Xiaoyuefeng Pass, Li Yangchun immediately stopped his troops and began to think deeply.
, after pondering for a while, he named a few soldiers and said seriously, "You guys, go back and see what's going on over there at Xiao Yuefeng?"
The soldiers took the order and left. About half an hour later, two of the soldiers ran back happily, "General Li, Wang Zhongyang led the people to attack Xiaoyuefeng Pass. General Hua is blocking it right now.
, there are not even two thousand people guarding the stronghold."
"What?" Li Yangchun looked ecstatic, his heart pounding, what the hell?
It is said that Wang Zhongyang is a strategist but a fool. I didn’t believe it before, but today I am completely convinced. Anyone with some military knowledge will not foolishly give up his rear to the enemy. There are less than two thousand bandits.
People are also in panic. If someone else strikes back, wouldn’t the copycats be defeated in a single fight?
Li Yangchun really mistakenly blamed Wang Zhongyang. Although Wang Zhongyang didn't have many military strategies, he still had some skills. At least he couldn't do it by leaving his back to the enemy.
The reason why he dared to do this was because he felt that the enemy had just been beaten away, and most likely they had returned to Heishui Valley or Fairy Terrace in despair. How could they return to recapture the stronghold? What Wang Zhongyang thought was not wrong. In fact, the original
The plan was also for Li Yangchun to quickly withdraw to Fairy Terrace, but Li Yangchun was Li Yangchun, and he knew that the situation was unpredictable and he had to act according to the situation.
When Wang Zhongyang met Hua Xiaorong and Li Yangchun, it was considered a disaster in his eighth life, because these two people were from the peasant army themselves, and they knew the internal situation of the peasant army very well. No, Li Yangchun, who was supposed to line up back to Ziwu Valley, made a prompt decision.
Let people rest for a while and then fight back to Xiao Yuefeng.
