Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 294
"General, General Wang said, there are still three miles ahead, which is Taniguchi!" Leading the army to walk in Ziwu Valley for more than ten days, Zhao Feng finally heard the most beautiful news this day.Not only him, but the surrounding soldiers couldn't help but sigh when they heard this sentence.

"Grandma, finally come down!" Zhao Feng wiped the sweat off his face, looked up at the sky, and sighed.Since they entered Meridian Valley, their 1 elite soldiers have traveled lightly and concealed their tracks all the way for twelve days, just to create a miracle that shocked the world.

In the past ten days, there were two moderate rains, but fortunately no major mudslides were caused. Of the [-] soldiers who actually fell off the cliff, only a hundred or so.Compared with going through the Yinping Pass, the situation is much better.Zhao Feng looked at the back, and there was not a lot of one thousand good Xiliang horses.He knew that because of these horses, Niu Jin hardly had a good night's sleep along the way.Thinking of this, Zhao Feng didn't say anything, just patted Niu Jin on the shoulder, everything was kept silent.

"General Wang has found out that the enemy army has only a small stronghold at the mouth of the valley, and the number of them is only a few hundred!" At this time, another messenger came running over.Zhao Feng was about to speak, when suddenly a big water droplet fell on his head, and then the water dripped down one after another, which caught everyone by surprise.

"Damn, it's almost out of the valley, and now it's raining!" Zhu Ran hurriedly picked up the bamboo hat and put it on, but also said in a bit of frustration.When Zhao Feng heard the words, his thoughts suddenly moved, and he quickly ordered: "Command General Wang, take advantage of the heavy rain and the enemy's defenses are lax, immediately send troops to attack the enemy's camp!"

"Yes!" After receiving the order, this person hurriedly went to report to Wang Ping without mentioning it. It was only later that Zhao Feng realized how lucky he was to give this order.Although there are only five hundred defenders in the enemy's small village.However, the five hundred defenders were equipped with more than 200 fast horses. Once they were attacked, they could send people to the beacon towers on both sides, which were only tens of miles away, to warn them.If it weren't for the heavy rain that caught these people off guard, once they galloped wildly, the more than 1 infantry of my own would not have time to ride horses in a hurry, and might not have time to catch up with them.In this way, I am afraid that it will not take long for Zhong Yao to know the news that he has entered Guanzhong.It's fine for Zhong Yao to know, if Tongguan and Qingnikou are also prepared, he will have to work harder.But now such a blockade can at least delay it for a while, allowing him to calmly take down Qingni Pass and Tongguan.

"Kill!" Following Wang Ping's order, more than 2000 people in the front suddenly took advantage of the sudden heavy rain to enter the opponent's camp. The defenders never dreamed that someone would come to surprise them at this moment. Killed to pieces.The torrential rain in early summer came and went quickly, and when the rain stopped, Wang Ping basically ended the battle.

"General, of the 400 enemy defenders, 350 and four were killed, and 140 and six were captured. Our army killed 190 and five, and 27 were injured!" When Zhao Feng came to this small village, The battle was over, Wang Ping reported to Zhao Feng.

"Okay, Zijun, come with me and strip off the corpse and the armor on the prisoner. I have other uses." Zhao Feng ordered, and Wang Ping would follow the order without mentioning it. At this time, Niu Jin told Zhao Feng, more than [-] war horses were found in the rear battalion, which seemed to be owned by the defenders.

"Thanks to the heavy rain!" Zhao Feng broke out in a cold sweat when he heard that, and then he was overjoyed.Looking up at the blue sky after the rain, Zhao Feng has never believed in ghosts and gods, so he secretly prayed in his heart: God, since you have already had a miracle, please do it again.If I can achieve meritorious service in one fell swoop this time, then I, Zhao Feng, would rather seal my sword and go back to seclusion in the future, and never set foot in the battlefield again.From then on, I will be a vegetarian and never kill again.

However, Zhao Feng did not expect that the miracle God gave him this time would be so big.After stripping off the armor of 500 Guan Zhongjun, Zhao Feng ordered Niu Jin to lead [-] people to put on the armor of Guan Zhongjun, and then led them to do things himself.

"Yifeng, it's clear from the horse detection. The enemy army at Qingni Pass is only a few thousand. You and I, three thousand elite soldiers, will take Wuguan Road to attack Qingni Pass and raid the enemy's rear. Right now, Hao Bodao and General Zhang Gongyi must be in Qingni Pass. Attacked before the mud pass, with you attacking from both sides, you will definitely be able to easily take the pass." Zhao Feng first mobilized 3000 troops and arranged for Zhu Ran.

"Don't worry, general, I will definitely take down the pass and come to see the general!" Zhu Ran suddenly promised, and then the whole army went forward without mentioning it.Zhao Feng himself led the remaining 7000 troops, and after disguising and arranging them, they went through the Lantian line and went straight to Tongguan through Weinan.

Tongguan is the east gate of Guanzhong. It is located at the hub of Shanxi, Shanxi and Henan provinces. It is the hub of the post road from Chang'an to Luoyang. Passages and pass defenses.It is known as "the first insurance in the country", "the throat of four towns" and "one hundred and two major passes".There are Qinling barriers in the south, the Yellow River natural moat in the north, Niantouyuan in the east, and the natural defense lines such as Jingou, Yuanwanggou, and Manluochuan in the middle. .

Zhao Feng knew that, unlike other pass cities, Tongguan was almost two-way fortified.That is to say, whether it is going east or west, Tongguan is very difficult to attack, which is different from most passes.For example, Qingni Pass, where the terrain is high in the west and low in the east, it is difficult to attack from the east to the west, but if someone from the west wreaks havoc behind the defenders, the defenders will inevitably be in chaos.It was also because of this that Zhao Feng dared to send only 3000 people to Zhu Ran to support Zhang Ren and Hao Zhao.

Along the way, Zhao Feng let hundreds of soldiers who put on Cao Jun's armor run ahead, and led the army to follow in a leisurely manner. Just like this, he bypassed Chang'an and rushed to Tongguan.After crossing the Weihe River, the scouts sent in front suddenly reported that a convoy of supplies had been found ahead.

"Stop with me!" Zhao Feng immediately ordered, and then ordered Wang Ping to lead the army to intercept the baggage train.Since this place is still the hinterland of Sima Yi in Guanzhong, the transportation team is only escorted by hundreds of county soldiers.With such a surprise attack by Zhao Feng, all the soldiers from these counties were killed in a short time, and the leader of the army was also captured by Wang Ping and sent to Zhao Feng.

"Who are you, and where are you going to escort the food and grass?" Zhao Feng looked at the trembling military marquis in front of him, and asked casually.The man was so frightened that his teeth were already chattering, but he still reluctantly replied: "The villain is Hu Ji, a military officer under the command of Taishou Zhong. He was ordered to escort food and grass to Tongguan. Prefect Zhong urged to send reinforcements, so Prefect Zhong sent a young man to escort food and grass to Tongguan."

"What, Xu Huang led the army to attack Tongguan?" Zhao Feng's surprise was really serious.Was Xu Huang just a personal act, or was Cao Cao premeditatedly intervening in the war between himself and Sima Yi?If he intervenes, how should he respond?A series of questions flooded into Zhao Feng's mind, and for a moment he felt that his mind was almost short-circuited.

Forcing himself to calm down, after digesting the shock brought by Xu Huang's march, Zhao Feng collected himself, and then said to the bewildered Wang Ping: "Now the situation has changed, Xu Huang is attacking Tongguan. But whether it is Sima Yi or Whether it is Xu Huang or Xu Huang, they are all our enemies. In this way, we will lead the army to capture Tongguan and Pubanjin according to the original plan. In addition, Feige sent a letter to inform the lord that he must mobilize troops from all over Jingxiang to prepare Let me wait!" Zhao Feng knew that if Cao Cao really moved, even if Zhang Ren and Hao Zhao's 4 people entered Guanzhong, they might not be able to resist Cao Cao, let alone capture Guanzhong.At this moment, Liu Bei can no longer play soy sauce.

"The general understands!" Wang Ping and Zhang Yi also knew that the matter was urgent, so they pushed the grain and grass carts and continued to rush to Tongguan as fast as possible.Zhao Feng led the army forward with a calm face, but only he knew what was going on in his heart.Now no one knows what's going on in Tongguan, whether Cao Cao will make any moves, and what's going on with Sima Yi in Hanzhong, all of this is unknown.If you don't pay attention, the more than 1 people of your own account are on the Guanzhong Plain.

"Grandma, fight!" Zhao Feng was full of thoughts in his heart, and finally he was ready to fight.In such a thing as a war, how can there be any certainty of victory?I have already come to this point, if I am timid and afraid of getting into trouble and escape from Ziwu Valley Road back to Shangyong, it will be embarrassing to death, and I still can't afford to lose this person.Thinking of this, Zhao Feng also ordered a quick march.Fortunately, with this supply team, I originally wanted to pretend to be Cao Jun to open Tongguan, but now it seems that I don't need it.

When more than 7000 people like him hurried to the city of Tongguan, it was already evening.At this time, on Tongguan City, Xu Huang had just finished today's siege, and the guard Jiang Qi was directing his soldiers to clean up the rubble and corpses, preparing for tomorrow.

"Xu Gongming, I'm waiting for you here in Tongguan City, if you have the ability, you can fly up here!" Looking at the corpses of Cao Jun piled up like a mountain below the city, Jiang Qi said with an air of authenticity.Xu Huang looked at Jiang Qi, who was a villain, and although he didn't speak, he was quite upset.

"Brother, more than 800 people were lost in the siege today!" Xu Gai, who was counting the casualties, reported. Xu Huang nodded and said nothing, but felt a little helpless at the strength of Tongguan.Although he was just a feint attack, Jiang Qi only needed a quarter of his troops to make it difficult for him to move here.Whoever changes this kind of thing will not be happy.

"General, the food and grass have just arrived!" Just as Jiang Qi was complacent, a soldier beside him came to report.Hearing the words, Jiang Qi went down to Guancheng with some unsatisfactory intentions, and was going to go to accept the inspection of grain and grass.

"The grain and grass brought in this time should be enough for half a month!" Jiang Qi looked at the city gate that was opening more and more, and muttered in his heart.But he soon realized that something was wrong, because after the city gate was wide open, the opponent did not push the cart in, but everyone untied their weapons from their waists, as if they were ready to fight.

"What's going on, you guys, who are you?" Jiang Qi quickly asked when he realized that something was wrong.Just then he heard a terrifying voice:

"General Zhao Botao's subordinate general Wang Ping, let the thief die!"
