Chapter 201 Hulu divides troops to defend the pass
After the Tianqishan defense line was opened, the coalition forces immediately started to march into Henan Province. However, Wang Yu was not in a hurry. Instead, he immediately sent out 50,000 troops and captured Henan under the leadership of Hu Luguang.
Weiguan, the gateway to the north.
Henan Road is on the northern defense line. Firstly, it relies on the danger of the river. Secondly, it naturally relies on Weiguan, a world-famous pass.
Since the founding of the Da Cang Dynasty, the reason why the imperial capital was located in Henan Road was that it was located in the center of the entire Da Cang and could effectively rule all parts of the Da Cang. Another key factor was the fancy
It has protected the natural defenses in all directions of Henan Province.
This Henan Road is like Luoyang or Chang'an in Chinese history, surrounded by various groups of guards.
After Huangfu Mingzhao dies, Henan Road will definitely become the center of competition among all parties, especially the three kings who aspire to the throne. Henan Road will definitely become their primary target in the future.
For the position of Henan Road, other forces may not know, but the three kings will definitely be beaten to a bloody head because of this.
However, Wang Yu didn't want to get involved in this chaos easily when the time came. With golden horns and silver edges, this Henan Road is located in the center of the entire world, and it will inevitably cause trouble in the future.
In contrast, Wang Yu is more willing to fight like a jade clam with a clam, the fisherman after the fisherman has gained. When all the forces compete for the first place and become exhausted, it is time for him to wipe out the world in one fell swoop.
What's more, compared to Henan Road, which will become the focus of all forces in the future, Wang Yu is actually more interested in the basics of the three kings.
His next step, if he wants to continue to expand, the best choice is the territory of the Three Kings. Apart from this option, expansion in any other direction will have certain hidden dangers.
Therefore, compared to the entire Henan Province, Weiguan is Wang Yu's first target at this time. Wang Yu now has the entire Hebei Province. As long as he waits until he takes Weiguan again, all sides will be naturally protected.
At this time, Henan Road will completely open its door to Hebei Road. Wang Yu can take action against Henan Road whenever he wants.
If that time really comes, it seems that he has really not got involved in Henan Road. But in fact, as long as he is strong enough and can make himself strong, he can take this territory at any time if he wants!
Therefore, after opening the Tianqishan defense line, Wang Yu's next step was not to follow the coalition forces to completely wipe out Henan Road, but to divide his troops and directly attack Weiguan.
In fact, in addition to breaking through the Tianqishan defense line from Guangyin and reaching Henan Road directly, the coalition forces at that time could also break through Weiguan from Hebei Road to the south and reach Henan Road directly.
However, if they choose the latter as their offensive line, in addition to being more convenient for Wang Yu, the logistics pressure on the two kings who occupy Qingbei Road and Qingnan Road, as well as Xuanyuan Huang who occupies Dongkaido Road, will double.
From a comprehensive perspective of the coalition forces, this offensive route is far inferior to Guangyin, where all forces of the coalition forces are relatively focused on attacking in the center.
At this stage, among the generals following Wang Yu, apart from Han Xin, the only one who can take on this important task is Hu Luguang.
Although Feng Yi, Wang Zhene, and Tan Daoji also have great talents, their qualifications are still relatively low.
Therefore, the task this time fell on Hu Luguang.
There are 30,000 defenders in Weiguan. In fact, it is definitely not enough to take down such a majestic pass with only 50,000 troops.
However, this is already the maximum force that Wang Yu can send as much as possible at this stage. The 100,000 troops who followed him to fight, after successive battles, suffered corresponding losses in the end. In addition to the 50,000 sent,
There aren't many people left around him.
Therefore, with the relative shortage of troops, all Wang Yu could make up for was the support of his generals.
Hu Luguang is the chief general, Wang Zhene is the deputy general, Zhang Kui is the vanguard, and the remaining generals are Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci, Ge Cunzhou, Nanfeng Buyu, Gao Lanying, Lu Zhishen, Hu Yanzhuo, Yue Sheng, Wu Song, Lin Chong, Guan Sheng,
Qin and Ming were generals and together they led an army of 50,000 to capture Weiguan.
Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci, Ge Cunzhou, Nanfeng Buyu, Gao Lanying and others are all heaven-level generals, especially Zhao Yun who has reached the peak of heaven-level generals, and Lu Zhishen, Hu Yanzhuo, Yue Sheng, Wu Song, Lin Chong, Guan
Sheng, Qin Ming and these people all have super-class strength.
Coupled with Zhang Kui, a god-level warrior, Hu Luguang has such a talented lineup under his command, which is absolutely crushing the lineup of generals stationed in Weiguan.
In addition, although Zhuge Liang of Hebei Province cannot mobilize much fighting force at this time, they will still wait for the opportunity and do their best to cooperate with Hu Luguang to knock on the northern gate of Henan Province.
.
After transferring so many generals at once, Wang Yu's men seemed a little empty compared to the previous prosperity.
At present, the only civil and military personnel still following him in the army are Han Xin, Feng Yi, Tan Daoji, and Zhang Han as commanders, Yao Guangxiao as counselors, and Xing Tian, Yang Jian, Li Yuanba, Ju Mac, and Dian as generals.
Wei, Huang Zhong, Zhang Boli, Yao Gonglin, Nangong Shi, Pei Yuanqing, Dian Xiongchu, Meng Liang, Jiao Zan, Cheng Yaojin, An Xiuxiu, Xue Atan, Li Hanzhi, Fu Cunshen, Xue Tieshan, He Heihu, Pei Shiji
, Pei Yuanshao, Zhuge Changmin, Xue Tong, Gao Jinzhi and a few local generals.
In fact, despite the fact that Hu Luguang transferred such a large number of generals, even those left by Wang Yu are still the most talented among the coalition forces. Those god-level generals will fight.
It is already unmatched by several other forces combined.
On the side of Huangfu Mingzhao's court, Huangfu Yue successfully brought out most of the effective forces. Therefore, their military strength in Henan Road is still quite sufficient.
Currently, there are 260,000 forbidden troops and 100,000 government troops in the entire Henan Province, a total of 360,000 troops.
However, although Huangfu Mingzhao's court seemed to still have so many troops, with enemies on all sides, it was already stretched thin.
Moreover, after some mobilization of the 360,000 troops by Huangfu Yue, 80,000 imperial troops were stationed at Liangguan in the west, 30,000 imperial troops were stationed at Weiguan in the north, and 20,000 imperial troops and 20,000 imperial troops were stationed at Liangguan in the west.
It is stationed at Yangguan in the south, and what the coalition forces really need to face next is the remaining 210,000 forbidden troops.
