"Read it." Zhou Buyi was looking at the map to himself, and Liu Xun said to the soldiers.
The soldier loudly said: "A great victory at Qingni Pass. General Fan Lixiang successfully uncovered the traitor Han Sui and killed him together with the eight cavalrymen under his banner. Except for more than 3,000 Han Sui's personal guards who were shot dead, the rest of the Xiliang cavalry surrendered. Fan
The general is ordering people to reorganize.
General Huang Zhong, General Lei Tong Pangrou, and female general Guan Yinping used all their strength to intercept and kill the Yuyang Tuqi. The Yuyang Tuqi suffered more than 20,000 casualties in the battle, but less than 5,000 escaped. The main general Tian Yu escaped.
Now General Fan is organizing refugees from outside the Pass to enter Guanzhong."
"Great." Liu Xun slapped the table and stood up. It wasn't that he couldn't suppress his excitement, but that Liu Xun was really nervous. This war was the first one he had commanded, but it was not only huge, but involved both the north and the south.
It is also crucial to the Sichuan Army.
No matter how safe the strategic layout was, Liu Xun was still afraid of failure. After being nervous for so many days, he was naturally overjoyed when he heard the good news.
But seeing Zhou Buyi's calm face, Liu Xun slowly calmed down and said to the soldiers: "Send an order to Qingni Pass and tell General Fan that even if a Han Sui is found, he cannot relax his vigilance. Who knows if there will be another one?"
Next, those refugees who enter the city must also be cautious, beware of spies, set up multiple sentries outside the customs, and make the investigation as deep as possible."
"Yes." The soldier was about to leave.
"Brother Bujie, you are really clever and clever, and you won the first battle." Liu Xun said to Zhou Buji, a little grateful. If Zhou Buji hadn't arranged the occupation, he would not only have dealt with the four enemy armies, but also turned Inner into the fifth.
.
As expected, Cao Jun's conspiracy was shattered in one fell swoop.
If you call yourself one, it's hard to say whether you can deal with the four armies, let alone think about getting rid of the fifth army.
"Young lord, the war has just begun." Zhou Buji said.
In the afternoon, Xinqi arrived again: "Report, young lord, that Zhang Liao's army has arrived in Nanyang and is quickly approaching Qingni Pass. General Zhang Ren has also arrived at Qingni Pass. The outpost camp at Qingni Pass has already engaged Cao's vanguard."
"knew."
Liu Xun was excited for the first time, but now he is much calmer. When he saw Zhou Buyi, he remembered that when Liu Zhang was in charge of the central government, he was always calm. Regardless of success or failure, it was only based on intelligence. The war behind the layout also calmed down, but
Waved to the soldiers.
"No doubt, brother, Zhang Liao is indeed as you said, the main attack direction is Qingni Pass. Now the decisive battle in the Central Plains depends on the outcome of the battle at Qingni Pass." Liu Xun said.
Zhou Bujie didn't answer, just frowned. After a while, he suddenly exclaimed: "Isn't that right?"
"What's wrong?" When Liu Xun heard Zhou Buyi's exclamation, his heart suddenly lifted, and he suddenly asked: "Is it Zhang Liao's attack from the east to the west?"
"No. How can it be so easy for an army of more than 400,000 to change its direction without the eyes and ears of our Sichuan army? Besides, Hangu Pass is dangerous. Even if he attacks from the east and west, no matter how many troops and horses there are, they can't attack at the same time. It is impossible to capture Hangu in a short time."
Pass, our army has time to return reinforcements, and Zhang Liao cannot make fun of the supply line."
"What happened?"
Zhou Busuo put his palm on his forehead and thought deeply without saying a word: "No, it is definitely wrong. Young Master, now there are more than 300,000 Sichuan troops gathered at Qingni Pass, and Zhang Liao's 450,000 family troops, can they capture it?"
"Cao's army has not long been formed, but its combat strength is insufficient and its overall planning ability is not strong. Without Han Sui's support, it will never be possible to break through the Qingni Pass in a short time, and it is very likely to be defeated."
"That's right." Zhou Bujie said: "Zhang Liao obviously already knew the fact that the Yuyang Cavalry was almost wiped out. He did not hesitate to advance towards Qingni Pass at full speed. The forward troops were eager to fight with us.
The army is fighting, is this normal?"
Zhou Buyi slowly hit his forehead with his fist, and suddenly looked at Liu Xun: "Young Master, there are only two reasons why Zhang Liao did this. Either there are traitors in our army who are powerful enough to cooperate inside and outside, or they have other traitors.
The Sixth Route Army."
"The sixth way?" Liu Xun frowned.
"I prefer the sixth route." Zhou Bujie said: "And this may be a sure-fire route. Zhang Liao rushed forward at full speed. It is unlikely to be to cooperate with the inside and outside, but to contain our army at Qingni Pass and give the sixth route
Lu Dajun creates opportunities."
"The Sixth Road, where did the Sixth Road come from?" Liu Xun was confused, holding a brochure in his hand. Zhou Buyi saw the word "Wenxi" on the cover of the brochure, and was suddenly stunned. Wenxi was the next
The southernmost county in Hetao.
"Lord, what do you have in your hand?"
Liu Xun picked up the booklet in his hand: "Oh, this is a small matter. Brother Buyi asked me not to miss any information, so I read it. This is the refugee newspaper from Wenxi County, Lower Hetao. Wenxi County
Refugee representatives said that Cao Cao's second son, Cao Zhang, led his army to fight Wu Jun and killed civilians indiscriminately.
All the people north of Wenxi County were killed. They were angry at the injustice of Cao Zhang and Wu Jun, so they moved their families to Guanzhong. Now they have arrived outside Hangu Pass. This was given to me by Yang Huai, the guard of Hangu Pass.
Report it to me and ask me if I want to let you go."
"Wenxi County? The battlefield between Cao Zhang and Wu Jun? Kill all the people?" Zhou Buyu pondered.
…
Zhang Liao led his army to camp fifty miles away from the front of Qingni Pass. Tian Yu rushed into Zhang Liao's tent, knelt down with a bang, and said with tears: "General, you must do it for my brother Xianyu and the twenty thousand people."
Duo Yuyang Tuqi took revenge. Those Sichuan barbarians were not human beings. They killed many of us, many of us.
My brothers from the north have only been in the Central Plains for a month, and they are all dead. How can I explain this to their families?"
Tian Yu was an eight-foot tall man and a general who commanded thousands of troops, but at this time he was reduced to tears. Even a general who had led hundreds of battles, and who had led an army for more than ten years, was defeated in just one night.
It would be difficult for anyone to have their entire army wiped out and still be far away from their hometown.
"General Tian, please get up quickly." Zhang Liao stepped down from the commander's desk and helped Tian Yu up: "A dead person cannot be resurrected. General Tian expresses my condolences. I, Zhang Liao, am here to fight against the Sichuan barbarians this time. I will definitely avenge the general."
"General Zhang, I, Tian Yu, have not only failed my brothers, but also the King of Wei. I invested a lot of manpower and material resources to train the Yuyang Cavalry for a year, but I was completely defeated. I... General Zhang, please allow Tian Yu to fight this battle."
After killing the enemy and making a great contribution, Tian Yu will commit suicide to apologize when the war is over. I only hope that General Zhang can bury me and brother Xianyu together."
"What did General Tian say?" Zhang Liao looked at Tian Yu with a look of disapproval on Yingwu's face. Zhang Liao was one of the few military generals in the Three Kingdoms period who was very powerful and handsome. He commanded a large army with great momentum.
Zhang Liao walked behind the commander's case and said to Tian Yu: "Winning or losing is a matter of military strategism. This time the Yuyang Cavalry suffered heavy losses, not because of General Tian's fault, but because of Han Sui's improper behavior.
It is really hateful that our army has been implicated.
General Tian was responsible for rebuilding Yuyang Tuqi, so how could he commit suicide?
What's more, General Tian's Yuyang cavalry did not die in vain, it just accelerated the Sichuan army's defeat. When we advance to Chang'an, I will report to the King of Wei the meritorious service of General Tian and the late General Xianyu."
"Surge into Chang'an?" Tian Yu looked at Zhang Liao's confident look, held back his tears, and asked doubtfully: "Is General Zhang very confident? Although the Sichuan army only has 300,000 soldiers, its combat power is too strong.
Although Liu Zhang is dead and the morale of the army is low, our army is not that strong. There are few elites in the family army, and it is difficult to unify the orders. I am afraid it will be difficult to win."
"Hahahaha." Zhang Liao laughed heartily.
Yue led 50,000 Xiongnu cavalry and had already reached Chang'an.
Chang'an must be defeated. What we have to do is to violently attack Qingni Pass and contain the Sichuan army. When Chang'an is captured, the Sichuan army will not only have its supplies cut off, first Liu Zhang will die, and now the rear will be captured. General Tian feels that the Sichuan barbarians
Do you still have morale and fighting spirit?
At that time, it is time for us to take revenge, not only to avenge General Tian, but also to avenge the Battle of Yingshui, the Battle of Xuchang, the Battle of Chang'an, and the Battle of Weishui, and to comfort Xu Chu, Xiahou Dun and other hundreds of people who died in Guanzhong.
A general."
Zhang Liao said, and he became excited. During the Guanzhong battle, he defended Nanyang and personally experienced the embarrassment of Cao's army in front of the Sichuan army. He was defeated once by Huang Yueying. Among those who were defeated and fled in Xuchang was Zhang Liao. What a shame.
Frustrated.
At this time, he could finally take revenge and lead the army himself. How could Zhang Liao not be inspired?
"Really? The King of Wei is really a talented man and a great strategist." When Tian Yu heard Zhang Liao's words, it was like a shot in the arm. Thinking of the massacred Yuyang Cavalry, Tian Yu's eyes turned red and he swore that when Cao Zhang and Wu Jun broke through Chang'an, Cao's army would counterattack.
Let the Sichuan army pay with blood.
Zhang Liao pulled out his sword, held it upright in front of his eyes, looked at the shining sword, and said solemnly: "What we have to do now is to attack, a full-scale attack, a fierce attack, regardless of casualties, to attack the Sichuan troops at Qingni Pass.
The camp worked day and night without giving the Sichuan barbarians a chance to breathe."
When the chance of victory is right in front of him, a general like Zhang Liao will not hesitate. He thrust his sword into the table and shouted loudly: "Attack~~"
"Yes." Tian Yu and all the generals of Cao's army promised loudly. As soon as the camp was set up, Cao's army was divided into twenty echelons by the general, with 20,000 people in each echelon. They were divided into four groups and rushed towards the Sichuan Army pass.
The Qingni Pass War broke out and became intense as soon as it broke out.
…
In Chang'an, Zhou Buyi looked at the memorial and suddenly said in shock: "No, it's Wu Jun and Cao Zhang who compromised. They didn't fight at all, but came towards us."
"What?" Liu Xun was also shocked. He looked at the map and said hesitantly, "No way. Although Wenxi is only a few hundred miles away from Chang'an, it is blocked by mountains in the middle. If you want to go to Hanoi, you must pass through Hangu Pass. Not only is it difficult to
We captured Hangu Pass, and it’s impossible for us to have no news, right?” (To be continued)
