Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 295

"Wang Ping!?"

Jiang Qi didn't know who Wang Ping was, but he was deeply impressed by the three characters Zhao Botao.In a hurry, I was really ready to draw my sword to fight, but found that a big knife had already slashed at my head.

"Hurry up and fight!" After yelling the last four words of his life, Jiang Qi had already drawn his knife, but it was too late.Although he avoided Wang Ping's knife, Niu Jin's spear had already pierced his chest.

"They, where did they come from?" In the consciousness that was about to dissipate, such a question still emerged.But before he got an answer, Jiang Qi had already fallen to the ground.He was here to check the grain and grass, and he brought dozens of entourage and soldiers with him, and he was killed by Wang Ping and Niu Jin's men in a short time.And at this moment, the defenders who had just heard the news, under the leadership of a school lieutenant, brought more than a thousand people over to check the situation.Seeing Jiang Qi and the others lying in a pool of blood, this person was also stunned.

"Jiang Qi is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed!" It wasn't Zhao Feng or Wang Ping, nor Niu Jin or Zhang Yi who yelled that voice, it was actually the military marquis Hu Ji.Zhao Feng was quite surprised that this kid could enter the role so quickly after surrendering.In my memory, except for Meng Da back then, there has never been such a thing.

However, it is obvious that Hu Ji, a pawn, came to do publicity, and the effect is still very good.The defenders who had already been stunned suddenly became agitated when they heard this, whispering among each other.Zhao Feng knew that decisive measures had to be taken to control the scene now, otherwise, these people might cause riots because of a little provocation.Although I am not afraid, I am short of troops now, so it would be good to recruit more people.

Thinking of this, Zhao Feng took a step forward and said: "I am Zhao Feng and Zhao Botao, your general Jiang Qi is dead, as long as you put down your weapons and surrender, I will keep you safe! Now my fifty thousand troops are outside the door, no matter who dares to resist, It will definitely be destroyed!" He boasted that he didn't need capital, and immediately expanded the number of troops several times.

As soon as these words were uttered, the face of the defender who had been hesitating in the first place suddenly became even more ugly.The captain who took the lead looked left and right, and saw that Jiang Qi's body was already lying on the ground, and his living colleagues really didn't look like they could continue to fight.As the leader, this person could only bite the bullet and ask: "General, are you really not going to kill us?"

"I have never killed a prisoner in my life!" Zhao Feng said indifferently, and there was a majesty in his calm tone.The man looked around, his hands trembled, and finally dropped the weapon, and said dejectedly: "I am willing to surrender!" The leader surrendered, and the rest of the people were even less tenacious, dropping their weapons and surrendering one after another.Zhao Feng was a little surprised at how easily he persuaded him to surrender, but later he found out that Jiang Qi was violent and abused the soldiers, and he had already lost the morale of the army.So just now Wang Ping killed Jiang Qi, but it accelerated the surrender of the defenders.

Tongguan is a rare and dangerous pass in the world. Sima Yi sent Jiang Qi to lead an army of 3000 troops to garrison Tongguan.These days when Xu Huang attacked the pass, the defenders were killed or injured only a few hundred people.Except for the hundreds of people who were killed in the chaos just now, the remaining 2000 people all surrendered smoothly.At present, Zhao Feng left 4000 troops, and more than half of the original 5000 defenders were left behind, a total of [-] people, led by Wang Ping, to keep Xu Huang away.He himself led the remaining [-] mixed army horses to attack Pubanjin.

"Zijun, the Guanzhong army just surrendered, so we still need to be careful. Fortunately, they and Xu Huang are neither enemies nor friends, and Jiang Qi doesn't care about soldiers, so don't worry too much!" Zhao Feng warned carefully.Standing firm at Tongguan to block Xu Huang, this task should be undertaken by myself, but I still need to take down Pubanjin as soon as possible, so this task can only be undertaken by Wang Ping, who is best at defending the city.

"General, don't worry, Wang Ping will definitely be able to defend the pass!" Wang Ping promised suddenly.After a pause, Wang Ping comforted Zhao Feng and said, "Don't worry, General, General Zhang Ren marched from Wuguan to Guanzhong. If everything goes well, he should arrive soon!"

"That's right!" Zhao Feng nodded and said, even if the road to Lantian is a bit difficult, but if it goes well, Zhang Ren and the others will be able to kill here in three or four days.The distance between Pubanjin and Tongguan is only more than 60 miles from north to south. As long as Zhang Ren can arrive, at least these two passes can be guaranteed to be safe.As long as these two places are guarded, Cao Cao can only watch the situation in the pass, but he has no choice but to intervene.

But these two places are so easy to defend, Tongguan is fine, after all, it is a rare majestic pass in the world, and Xu Huang also led tens of thousands of horses here.But Pubanjin is connected to Hedong County. Cao Cao only needs to capture Hedong County, and the army from Hebei can continue to come over.I have a mixed army of about [-] on hand, and under the attack of Sima Yi and Cao Cao, it is really stressful to hold Pujin Pass before Zhang Ren's army arrives.

According to what Hu Ji said, Zhong Yao had already sent reinforcements to Tongguan and Pujinguan, and he and Wang Ping would inevitably face the situation of being attacked on both sides.Fortunately, the number of reinforcements in Guanzhong is bound to be limited. As long as Zhang Ren's 4 people come, it is not a cause for concern.Wanting to understand this point, Zhao Feng didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately mobilized his men and horses to head north to Pujin Pass.

For more than 60 miles, it only took an hour for the army to move in a hurry, and when Zhao Feng led the army to reach the Pujin Pass a few miles away, it was only late at night.Under his instruction, thousands of former soldiers were dressed in the uniforms of the Guanzhong Army, and he brought them to swindle Pujin Pass.Hu Ji, who was escorting the grain and grass, also came with him.It's better to have an acquaintance come to cheat the city.Just now at Tongguan, that is, this Hu Ji cheated and opened the city gate, so he was able to enter the pass easily.

"Hu Junhou, do you know what to say?" Before setting off, Zhao Feng still told Hu Ji.The success or failure of this time depends to a large extent on this Hu Ji.

"General, don't worry, the villain will save it!" Hu Ji nodded.The two led dozens of soldiers and pushed the heavy cart to Pujin Pass.The lights on the top of the city were brightly lit, and the defenders could see clearly, so they hurriedly asked.

"It's me, Hu Ji, here to escort the food and grass!" Hu Ji replied loudly, and the defenders hurriedly reported to the guard, Sima Dao, who hurriedly came to check in person upon hearing this.

"Calm down, it's fine!" Zhao Feng comforted.It seems that this Sima Dao is a little more cautious than Jiang Qi, and he will not open the city gate without asking about the situation, but this level of caution is really useless to him.Not long after, Sima Dao came to Guanshang, looked at Hu Ji and more than a dozen carts under the city, Sima Dao interrogated him a few times, felt that there was nothing wrong, and ordered the city gate to be opened.

"Kill me!" After all the carts were pushed in, following Zhao Feng's order, the tarpaulins of all the carts were lifted, and then Wu Qianfei soldiers with short knives jumped out of the carts, aiming at them. The unsuspecting defenders cut down.

Pubanjin is the key to connect Guanzhong and Hedong County, but because Hedong County is still in the hands of Sima Yi at this time, Pubanjin is theoretically just a pass in the hinterland of Sima Yi's army, and not too many soldiers and horses are stationed there. There were more than 800 defenders on the ground, and now they were attacked in a hurry, and they were killed immediately by surprise.

"Hurry up, hold on, hold on with me!" Seeing the sudden change, Sima Dao became anxious.Just when he was roaring happily, a big knife had already chopped down at him.

With a "click", Sima Dao's big head flew into the sky.With Niu Jin's knife, Sima Dao was killed, and Pujin Pass was successfully captured by Zhao Feng. After all 5000 troops entered Pujin Pass, Zhao Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

After two hours, the sky was bright, and Zhao Feng could see the situation around Pujin Pass clearly.It turns out that Pujin Pass was built on the west bank of the Yellow River, guarding the ferry of the Yellow River.Once the enemy attacked from Hedong County, even if they crossed the Yellow River and attacked Pujin Pass along the road, the number of people must be quite limited.Therefore, this Pujin Pass became a fortress guarding the Guanzhong from Hedong County.

In history, when Ma Chao and Cao Cao fought decisively in Guanzhong, Ma Chao once captured Chang'an and Tongguan, and Cao Cao led his army to fight. In the field battle, Xiliang cavalry killed Cao Cao in a panic.Later, Cao Cao adopted Jia Xu's suggestion and asked Xu Huang and Zhu Ling to lead the army northward to detour through Pujin Pass, attacking Ma Chao from behind, and separated Ma Chao and Han Sui by means of alienation, which completely defeated the Xiliang army.

In view of this, although others may not value this Pu Banjin very much, how could Zhao Feng, as a time traveler, turn a blind eye to it?It was only after Tongguan was pacified that he immediately led his troops to Pujin Pass.After capturing the pass, Zhao Feng also sent out scouts to inquire about news from all sides, what happened to the reinforcements in Hedong, Guanzhong, and Zhang Ren.

In the afternoon, various news came one after another.First of all, the reinforcements sent by Zhong Yao have already crossed the Wei River and are rushing here.However, the number of support troops is only a few thousand, which is not a cause for concern; Zhang Ren and Hao Zhao have no accurate information yet; as for Tongguan, after Xu Huang discovered that the banner of the pass has been changed to Liu Beijun, Immediately command the soldiers to storm the pass, preparing to take Tongguan in one fell swoop while the army's morale is unstable.But under Wang Ping's defense, there is no serious problem in Tongguan.

All of this is not as shocking as Cao Cao's news.According to reports from Tanmalai, Cao Cao has personally led an army into Hedong County, and even broke through several counties to kill Guanzhong. It is estimated that his army will be nearly [-].Zhao Feng noticed that when Tan Ma mentioned the news, Niu Jin, who was always fearless, turned pale, and Zhang Ni even sat down on the ground.

"It is impossible for Cao Cao to know our plan, so he sent troops to Guanzhong, he probably just wanted to enter the pass from Pujin Pass, he didn't know that we had already occupied the pass. Now we are stationed at Pujin Pass, and we should guard the pass strictly. After General Zhang Ren's reinforcements arrive, we will make further calculations!" At this moment, Zhao Feng could only force himself to calm down and prepare to defend Pujin Pass.According to the Tanmalai report, Cao Cao captured Hedong County extremely quickly, and now it is only a day or two away from here.If Sima Yi's defenders in Hedong surrendered, Cao Cao might be able to reach the other side of the Yellow River tomorrow afternoon.And no matter how fast Zhang Ren and others arrived, they would take at least three days to arrive.Although I have the natural danger of the Yellow River to rely on, Cao Jun has nearly 10 people after all, Zhao Feng only has [-] defenders on hand, even if you only cross one-tenth of it, it is enough for him to drink a pot.

Thinking of this, Zhao Feng didn't dare to be negligent, and ordered people to demolish the ferry along the Yellow River as soon as possible, and then confiscated the boats on both sides of the river as much as possible. This should delay it for some time.At the same time, Zhao Feng also sent someone to urge Zhang Ren and Hao Zhao to join him.
