Chapter 429 Wei Yan leads the team to attack Hangu Pass, and Wang Feng fights Chachi Sanyao alone!
"Wei Yan? But that General of Jingzhou? How could he lead his army to Wuguan and defect to us?"
Affected by Yuan Shu's butterfly effect, Wei Yan was appointed as the governor of Changsha by Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou. However, after the rebel Dou Jiande was born, Jingzhou fell into endless wars. Changsha County changed hands several times and was eventually taken over by other forces.
After occupying Wei Yan, Liu Biao was furious after learning the news. He immediately sent Wenpin and Cai Mao to lead an army to hold Wei Yan accountable!
Cai Mao had always been at odds with Wei Yan. If he had escorted Wei Yan back to Liu Biao, Wei Yan would probably be in trouble. Fortunately, Wei Yan and Wenpin had a good personal relationship on weekdays. When Wenpin learned that Liu Biao was going to attack
After hearing the news about Wei Yan's accountability, he immediately sent someone to Changsha to inform Wei Yan!
After Wei Yan learned that Liu Biao sent Cai Mao to hold him accountable, he couldn't help but feel disheartened, so he took the initiative to lead his direct troops to withdraw from Changsha County, and announced that he would withdraw from the Jingzhou Army with immediate effect.
Wei Yan, who led his direct troops to leave Changsha County, marched from south to north. On the way, he was intercepted several times by Zhang Yun, Liu Pan, Cai Zhong and Cai Mao. After several battles, Wei Yan's army suffered heavy losses.
But fortunately, they finally broke free from the shackles of Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao and successfully withdrew from Jingzhou.
After withdrawing from Jingzhou, Wei Yan was not sure for a while which force was better to join. In his original thought, it might be a wise move to join Yuzhou Mu Yuan Shu, but after his subordinates Zhu Hai, Wei Wuji, Deng Qi and others
After his persuasion, he finally decided to join the Shu army who was fighting against the Dong bandits in Xiliang!
The main reason why Wei Yan gave up Yuan Shu and turned to Liu Bang was that Yuzhou Mu Yuan Shu had many elite soldiers and strong generals. If Wei Yan and the others led their troops to join Liu Bang, they would end up taking the position of an idle general and then be appointed to some inconspicuous position.
They are ordinary guards in the county. They are not needed in big battles, and they are not needed in small battles...
On the contrary, if Wei Yan leads his army to join Liu Bang's Shu army, as long as Liu Bang is willing to accept them, they will immediately be entrusted with important tasks and directly participate in the subsequent battle against Dong.
The surrender to the Shu army was the final result of Wei Yan, Wei Wuji, Wei Dingguo, Zhu Hai, and Deng Qi after weighing the pros and cons. When they led their troops to Wuguan and shouted the words "lead their troops to surrender", it meant that they
From today on, he has become a member of the Yizhou Shu Army!
"General Wei Yan led his troops to surrender, which is really a great blessing for our Shu army. How can we turn them away?"
Shu general Guan Ying had admired the name Wei Yan for a long time. Before he attacked Qingni Pass, he had learned clearly about the events in Jingzhou during this period through various channels. Then Wei Yan could not be blamed for the fall of Changsha County!
At that time, the anti-thief Dou Jiande was strong and had many elite soldiers and generals under his command. However, Wei Yan, the governor of Changsha County, had only a few soldiers (most of the soldiers were transferred to other counties by Liu Biao) and was isolated and helpless. He had no ability to resist the enemy day and night.
Continuous and fierce offensive. Instead of continuing to hold on and make unnecessary sacrifices, they might as well preserve their strength and retreat first, and then retake Changsha County after recuperating in the future!
This is what Wei Yan and others thought at the time. They planned to conserve their strength first, and after the army's strength recovered, they would then unite with the nearby Wenpin, Su Fei, and Yang Jian armies to double-team Dou Jiande's forces. Unfortunately, it backfired. Cai Mao and Cai Zhong were at Liu Biao's place.
Liu Biao turned his back on Wei Yan, causing him to blame Wei Yan, which eventually led to Wei Yan leading his army to flee.
Thinking of this, Guan Ying really felt worthless for Wei Yan and the others. Liu Biao had a treasure mountain in his spare time, but he didn't know how to dig it. He even listened to the slander and abandoned the treasure mountain as rubbish!
"How can Liu Biao be so short-sighted as to be worthy of the talents of Wei Yan and the other generals? As the saying goes, good birds choose trees to roost in, and good ministers choose their masters to serve. The generals have already done their best to Liu Biao, and now it is really wise to turn from darkness to light.
Lift."
Guan Ying communicated with Wei Yan for a long time. During these rounds of conversations, he roughly understood the strength of the direct army brought by Wei Yan. First of all, this army totaled 5,000 people.
More than 2,000 people were lost, but they finally survived and successfully arrived at Wuguan. Only more than 2,800 people joined the Shu army with Zhu Hai, Wei Dingguo and others.
With more than 2,800 men who have fought hundreds of battles, coupled with the two powerful generals Wei Yan and Zhu Hai, and the three powerful generals Wei Dingguo, Wei Wuji, and Deng Qi, the strength of this army cannot be underestimated!
"General Guan Ying, the fire in Wuguan Pass has been extinguished. We can lead our troops to enter it and recover for a few days before going to support our lords at Hangu Pass."
After Guan Ying heard Wei Yan's suggestion, he immediately waved his hand and ordered his officers and soldiers to lead the troops to garrison in Wuguan. He would rest and recover in Wuguan for three days before going to Hangu Pass to support his lord Liu Bang.
Three days flies by!
"Wuguan is the key point for our advance and retreat. We still need this general to personally lead the troops to guard it. As for supporting the lord's troops, it's up to you, General Wei Yan, to go there!"
Guan Ying was in high spirits, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised. He reached into his inner armor, took out a few military talismans and threw them to Wei Yan, ordering him to bring more than 2,800 direct troops and 8,000 Shu army warriors.
Go to Hangu Pass to support your lord Liu Bang, there is no mistake!
"I will obey my orders!"
Wei Yan was very excited. When he saw him bowing respectfully and then paying his respects, he turned around and strode towards the military camp. He ordered the general to lead the troops and set off immediately for the expedition.
The army led by Wei Yan was slowly moving towards Hangu Pass, and while he was leading his army on the way, in the direction of Hangu Pass, Liu Bang launched a fierce attack on Hangu Pass again!
"Ding! Sheep power, tiger power, deer power skill effects are activated..."
"Ding! Fan Kuai's skill effect is activated..."
"Ding! The giant spirit god's skill effect is activated..."
The generals of Shu activated all their skills, but the general guarding Hangu Pass was Wang Feng, a well-known and fierce general in Xiliang who could defeat ten thousand enemies. With him as the main general responsible for defending the city, and with his deputy generals Wang Xian, Lin Chong, Wang Li, Wang Gangchang and others,
If the Shu army wants to capture Hangu Pass, it will undoubtedly be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
"Guardian of Hangu Pass! Liu Bang of Yizhou is here, do you dare to go out to fight with our Shu army? If you don't dare to go out and are just willing to be a coward, then just pretend that I have never said this.
Already."
The siege was extremely brutal, and the Shu army suffered heavy casualties. Liu Bang had no choice but to take this strategy. He wanted to use provocation to force Wang Feng and his troops to lead their troops out of the border to fight. Only in this way could the casualties of the Shu army be reduced to a large extent.
.
All the generals in Xiliang knew that Liu Bang was using a method of provoking the generals, and they chose to ignore it. However, when the general Wang Feng saw the fiery eyes of the army sergeants, the generals realized that Liu Bang's method of provoking the generals was completely useless.
Explanation, if we do not lead the army out of the pass to fight, I am afraid that the morale of the Xiliang defenders will drop significantly, and going out to fight is playing into the hands of the Shu army!
