Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 794

"Xiaozhi guessed it, the two generals couldn't help it for a moment." Liu Bei laughed softly.

Fazheng replied: "Not to mention the two generals Huang and Zhao, the soldiers in the battalion have long been ready to move. Letting them leave the customs one day in advance at this time is equivalent to letting a hungry tiger go down the mountain to look for food."

"Order the scouts to report the news from the front at any time, let's go back to the house to rest now." Liu Bei said and turned around.

"Wei." Fazheng answered with cupped hands.

Yangping Pass is 20 miles away from Chencang, and there is Dasan Pass with dangerous terrain dozens of miles to the south. A normal march would take [-] to [-] days.

The area south of Hechi was under Zhang Fei's control. Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun traveled fifty miles a day without any worries, and arrived at the dilapidated Hechi City in about ten days.

Fu Xun and Zhang Nan arrived a few days first. According to Fazheng's instructions, they deliberately cut down trees at the foot of the mountain near Dashan Pass, built siege equipment under the nose of the defenders, and released their intention to attack Dashan Pass and take Chen Cang.

In fact, Zhang Fei received Zhuge Liang's letter a few months ago, so he relied on Hechi as a base to supervise the manufacture of equipment, and only waited for Liu Bei's army to come here to get them.

Although the terrain of Dashan Pass is dangerous, it is not as open as Yangping Pass. There are only more than [-] troops in the daily garrison. The supplies and confidence of Dashan Pass come from the rear warehouses.

Chencang Road is in the northeast of Wudu, and Qishan Road is in the northwest of Wudu. Although the two passages are longer, they are flatter and wider than Baoxie Road. In particular, Chencang Road is closer, and it is the road that most threatens Guanzhong. .

Cao Zhen sent troops to the Hexi Corridor to quell the rebellion, but he did not transfer Chencang's guard Zhang Yun, because he did not want Zhang Fei to take the opportunity to pass through Chencang.

Cao Zhen knew that the road to Qishan was farther away, and even if Zhang Fei's troops were to attack Tianshui, it would not last long, and everything was under his control.

Because of his meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion in Hexi, Cao Zhen was appointed by Cao Pi as a general of the upper army. He supervised all military forces at home and abroad, and had the absolute right to speak in Yongliang.

Because Zhang Fei sneaked into Liangzhou to harass him several times, Cao Pi of Luoyang was furious after hearing the words. He first ordered Zhang Ji, the governor of Liangzhou, to guard Wuwei, Zhangye and other northwest counties, so as to prevent the Hu people in Hexi from rebelling again and give Cao Zhen a stable life. The rear environment made him calm down to deal with Zhang Fei.

There is Xiongguan Jiancheng in Chencang Road, and Zhang Fei can only take Qishan Road with few soldiers. Cao Zhen is sure that Zhang Fei has formed a habit, and he will invade Liangzhou again after the rest, so he puts all the focus of military defense on Tianshui and Longxi counties. .

When Zhang Fei gathered his troops in Qishan, Cao Zhen immediately dispersed his troops in the two counties, ensuring that each county had at least 10 troops, and the total strength was close to [-].

Cao Zhen's plan was to let Zhang Fei fly across Mount Qi, but there were many garrisons in each county, so that he could not easily supply as before, and lured Zhang Fei's troops to go deep into Liangzhou, and finally let the scattered defenders form a joint force to cut off Zhang Fei's troops. Flying the army's Qishan grain road, he was completely trapped in Liangzhou and starved.

Zhang Fei's army fought bravely, and Cao Zhen's worst plan was to encircle and not attack, and finally let Zhang Yun go out of Chencang to capture Wudu, completely blocking the possibility of Zhang Fei fleeing back to Yizhou.

At that time, the State of Wei would be able to take back the 'abandoned' Wudu County smoothly, and even be able to march to Yangping Pass again, and heal the shame of the old Hanzhong War.

A few months ago, Zhang Fei built siege equipment in Hechi and expressed his intention to attack Dasanguan and Chencang head-on. When the battle report reached Cao Zhen in Ji County, he was not surprised but delighted.

Cao Zhen saw that Zhang Fei was playing tricks, so he deliberately "cooperated" with the opponent's actions, and asked Fei Yao and Xia Houru to lead [-] troops to "support" Chencang eastward through the Weishui River with great fanfare, but the reinforcements passed Chencang and did not reach Mei County. Just cross the Wei River in the north, then advance northwest along the Longshan Road, and finally return to Tianshui County by detouring Jieting.

Zhang Fei's mission was to cooperate with a feint attack. Although he pretended to be actively attacking, he only fought on a small scale for a few months. He neither attacked the city as a stronghold, nor looted people's food everywhere.

Cao Zhen waited for work with leisure and did not rush. Both the enemy and us played their own scripts, constantly pulling and consuming food in various parts of Tianshui.

Zhang Fei waited until Pang Tong and Ma Chao's reinforcements arrived at Qishan, and finally launched an offensive on Shangbi in a decent manner.

After seeing the siege equipment prepared by Hechi, Huang Zhong immediately consulted with Zhao Yun who was resting outside the city.

"Zilong, I just went to order some. The three generals have prepared hundreds of catapults alone. If we want to move all these things to Dasanguan, the time saved will be gone. We will not be the left and right pioneers. pioneer?"

"What does the old general think?" Zhao Yun asked back.

Huang Zhong stroked his beard and said: "Why don't you symbolize less luck? Yiyang (Fu Xun) and Wen Jin (Zhang Nan) don't need to go to logging to supervise the construction. The current inventory in Hechi should be enough to attack Chencang. We have to cut It will be the most important thing to win."

Zhao Yun nodded and replied: "The old general is right. Although the Dasan Pass is dangerous, the garrison is only [-]. We can take advantage of Zhang He's unresponsiveness and try to attack the pass. Maybe it will be a battle."

"Okay, okay, the old man is familiar with Wen Jin (Zhang Nan). I asked him to help us supervise the transport of equipment. Let's take a short break and then go north to check in and try to get it before the arrival of the king and the military division. Zhang Yun is in Hanzhong. Damn it, it's his luck to live a few more years, this time I will kill him with my own hands."

Zhang Yun was regarded as the top general of the Wei State in Liangzhou, Huang Zhong directly aimed at him, and the pride of setting up the army to kill Xiahou was aroused again.

Zhao Yun quickly reminded: "Zhang Xi didn't dare to fight at Yangping Pass, and it is even more impossible for him to go out of the city to fight with us this time. In fact, whether to kill the general is secondary. The purpose of the king is to enter the main pass. Let's take down Dasan Pass. talk"

"Zilong is right. Are the soldiers resting? Are we going to set off now?" Huang Zhong asked.

"Set off."

Two days later, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun arrived at Dasan Pass with their troops. Looking across the distance, they saw mountains stacked with lush ancient trees.

"Sure enough, it is the place of the throat. It seems that there will be a hard battle."

Zhao Yun saw that Dasan Pass was shorter than Yangping Pass, but the height of the city wall was not bad at all. Due to the narrow position of his own troops, he could not spread out the attack. confidence.

"I don't know who the gatekeeper will be, and whether he can be lured out of the gate and beheaded. I really miss the days when the French army division was by my side." Huang Zhong also felt the same way.

"Wang Sheng, the general guard of Dasan Pass, is an unknown person in Wei State. He will never dare to leave the pass to brush the beards of the two generals. However, it is not difficult to win this pass. There are French army masters who can break through the pass. Here." After saying that, Fu Xun handed over the kit in his bosom.

Huang Zhong opened the kit first. It turned out that Fazheng asked Fu Xun to check the terrain in advance. There are trails on the left and right of Dasan Pass to climb up the mountain. Fazheng suggested using this terrain to break the defensive will of the defenders in the pass.

"I think you can give it a try." Zhao Yun stroked his beard and said.

"The military strategist's strategy should be right, so let's break the city tomorrow, with Lao Yiyang (Fu Xun) preparing the siege vehicles, tomorrow the old man will personally lead the team to attack, and Zilong will lead the suspects up the mountain?" Huang Zhong gave orders subconsciously.

"Ok?"

Just as Zhao Yun was about to question, Fu Xun quickly clasped his fists together: "Don't fight, the two generals. The military adviser ordered you to attack, and the last general will arrange the suspects."

"Very good." Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong replied in unison.

Huang Zhong followed the strategy of Fa Zheng and rushed to Dashan Pass to fight in person. The soldiers scolded for half an hour, but the defenders were like stones, and there was no response at all.

The guard Wang Sheng looked at Huang Zhong and said to himself: "Go out and fight the old guy? General Zhang in Chencang doesn't dare, why should I swell my face and pretend to be fat?"
