Chapter 84 Kabasakazu Key Place

"Wang Ping!?"

Jiang Qi didn't know who Wang Ping was, but he was impressed by Zhao Botao's three words. In a hurry, he was really ready to draw a knife to fight, but he found that a big knife had been split in his pocket.

"Quickly fight!" After roaring the last four words of his life, Jiang Qi had pulled out the knife, but it was too late. Although he avoided Wang Ping's knife, Niu Jin's spear had pierced his chest.

"They, where did they come from?" In the consciousness that is about to dissipate, such a question still emerges. But before the answer, Jiang Qi had fallen to the ground. He came to check the grain and fodder, and he took dozens of his attendants around him. In a short time, he was killed by Wang Ping and Niu Jin. At this moment, the garrison who had just heard the news, led by a captain, brought more than a thousand people to check the situation. Seeing Jiang Qi and others who had fallen in the pool of blood, this person was also stunned.

"Jiang Qi is dead, and the surrender will not be killed!" It's not Zhao Feng or Wang Ping, Niu Jin or Zhang Wei who shouted this voice. It's actually the military marquis Hu. Zhao Feng was also quite surprised that the boy could enter the role so quickly after surrendering. Except for Meng Da in those years, there has never been such a thing in my memory.

However, it is obvious that Hu is a soldier to do publicity, and the effect is still very good. The defenders, who were already stunned, immediately scratched when they heard this and talked about it. Zhao Feng knew that he must take decisive measures to control the scene now, otherwise, these people are likely to cause chaos because of a little stimulation. Although I'm not afraid, I don't have enough troops now, and it's good to be able to collect more people.

Thinking of this, Zhao Feng stepped forward and said, "I am Zhao Feng and Zhao Botao. Your master Jiang Qi is dead. As long as you put down your weapons and surrender, I will keep you safe and sound! Now my 50,000 troops are outside the door. Whoever dares to resist stubbornly will be killed!" He boasted that he didn't need capital and immediately expanded the number of troops several times.

As soon as he said this, the garrison, who was already hesitating, suddenly looked even more ugly. The leading captain looked left and right, and saw that Jiang Qi's body was already on the spot, and his living colleagues really didn't look like they could continue to fight. As the leader, this man can only ask, "General, are you really not going to kill me?"

"I never kill prisoners in my life!" Zhao Feng said lightly, and there was a sense of majesty in his gentle tone. The man looked around, shook his hands, and finally dropped the blade and said dely, "I'm willing to surrender!" The leader surrendered, and the rest of the people were even less tenacious, and they left their blades to surrender one after another. Zhao Feng was also a little surprised at such an easy persuasion to surrender. Later, he learned that Jiang Qi was violent and abused soldiers, and he had already lost his military heart. Therefore, Wang Ping killed Jiang Qi, but accelerated the surrender of the defenders.

Tongguan is a rare danger in the world. Sima Yi sent Jiang Qi to lead 4,000 troops to garrison Tongguan. These days, Xu Huang attacked the pass, and the defenders killed and injured only hundreds of people. Except for killing more than a hundred people in the chaos, the remaining 3,000 people were successfully disarmed and surrendered. At present, Zhao Feng left 2,000 people, and more than half of the original 3,000 defenders were also left, a total of 4,000 people, led by Wang Ping to stop Xu Huang. He led the remaining more than 5,000 mixed troops to attack Pubanzu.

"Zijun, Guan Zhongjun has just surrendered, and you still need to be careful. Fortunately, they and Xu Huang are also enemies and friends. In addition, Jiang Qi doesn't care about the soldiers. Don't worry too much!" Zhao Feng told me carefully. Stick to Tongguan to stop Xu Huang. This task should have been undertaken by himself, but I still need to take Pubanjin as soon as possible, so this task can only be undertaken by Wang Ping, who is the best at defending the city.

"General, don't worry, Wang Ping must be able to guard the pass!" Wang Ping responded to the promise. After a pause, Wang Ping comforted Zhao Feng and said, "General, don't worry, General Zhang Ren entered the customs from Wuguan. If it goes well, he should be able to arrive soon!"

"That's right!" Zhao Feng nodded and said that even if the first-line road in Lantian is a little difficult to walk, if it goes well, in another three or four days, Zhang Ren and others can come here. Pubanjin and Tongguan are only more than 60 miles away from the north and south. As long as Zhang Ren can get there, at least these two passes can be guaranteed to be safe. As long as he guards these two places, Cao can only look at the situation in the gate, but he has no choice but to intervene.

But these two places are not so easy to guard. Tongguan is still arrogant. After all, it is a rare Xiongguan in the world, and Xu Huang also led tens of thousands of people to come. However, Pubanjin is connected to Hedong County. After Cao Wei only needs to capture Hedong County, the army in Hebei can continue to come over. I only have about 5,000 mixed troops on hand. Under the attack of Sima Yi and Cao Jian, it is really a lot of pressure to guard the Pujin Pass before Zhang Ren's army arrives.

According to Hu, Zhong Yao has sent reinforcements to support Tongguan and Pujinguan. He and Wang Ping are bound to face the realm of being attacked by the enemy on both sides. Fortunately, the number of reinforcements in Guanzhong is bound to be limited. As long as Zhang Ren's 40,000 people come, there is no need to worry about it. To understand this, Zhao Feng did not dare to neglect, and immediately ordered people to go north and kill Pujin Pass.

More than 60 miles away, it was just a matter of time for the army to rush. When Zhao Feng led the army to a few miles away from Pujin Pass, it was only late at night. At his instruction, thousands of people in the former army were wearing the clothes and armor of the Guanzhong Army, and they brought them to defraud Pujin Pass. Hu, who escorted the food and fodder, also came with himself. It's better for acquaintances to come to the city of fraud. Just in Tongguan, that is, this Hu fraudulently opened the gate, and he was able to enter the gate easily.

"Hu Junhou, do you know what to say?" Before leaving, Zhao Feng still told Hu. The success or failure of this time depends largely on this Hu.

"General, don't worry, you can save the villain!" Hu nodded. The two led dozens of soldiers and pushed the carriage to the Pujin Pass. The lights on the head of the city were bright, and the defenders saw clearly and hurriedly asked.

"It's me, Hu, escorting food and fodder here!" Hu answered loudly, and the garrison hurriedly reported to the general Sima Dao, who quickly came to check it in person.

" Calm down, it's okay!" Zhao Feng comforted him. It seems that Sima Dao is a little more cautious than Jiang Qi. He doesn't open the gate without asking the situation, but this degree of caution is really useless to him. After a while, Sima Dao came to the gate and looked at Hu and more than a dozen cars under the city. Sima Dao questioned a few words and felt that there was nothing wrong, so he ordered to open the gate.

"Kill me!" After all the carts advanced, with Zhao Feng's order, the tarpaulins of all the carts were lifted, and then a forward-free flying sergeant with a short knife jumped on the car and aimed at the defenseless defenders.

Pubanjin is the key to connecting Guanzhong and Hedong County, but because Hedong County is still in Sima Yi's hands at this time, Pubanjin is theoretically just a pass in the hinterland of Sima Yi's army. He did not send too many soldiers and horses to garrison, and there were more than 800 defenders on the whole pass. Now he was attacked in a hurry and was immediately attacked. He was caught off guard.

"Quick, hold on, hold on with me!" Sima Dao saw the sudden change and was immediately anxious. Just as he roared happily, a big knife had been cut off at him.

With a click, Sima Dao's big head flew to the sky. With Niu Jin's knife, Sima Dao was killed, and Pu Jinguan was successfully taken down by Zhao Feng. After all 5,000 horses entered the Pujin Pass, Zhao Feng was a little relieved.

After two hours, when it was bright, Zhao Feng saw the situation around Pujin Pass. It turned out that the Pujin Pass was built on the west bank of the Yellow River to guard the Yellow River ferry. 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 has become a fortress guarding the army from Hedong County.

In history, when Ma Chao and Cao Wei fought in Guanzhong, Ma Chao once captured Chang'an and Tongguan. Cao Wei led the army to fight. In the field battle, Cao Wei was embarrassed by the Xiliang Iron Horse. Later, Cao Qian took Jia Xu's suggestion and asked Xu Huang and Zhu Ling to lead the army to take a detour to Pujin Pass, attack Ma Chao from behind, and alienate Ma Chao and Han Sui, which completely defeated the Xiliang Army.

In view of this, although others may not attach much importance to this Pubanzu, how can Zhao Feng, as a time traveler, turn a blind eye to it? After calming down Tongguan, he immediately led the army to Pujinguan. After capturing the pass, Zhao Feng also sent scouts to inquire about the news from all sides. What was the situation of Hedong, Guanzhong, and Zhang Ren's reinforcements?

In the afternoon, all kinds of news came one after another. First of all, the reinforcements sent by Zhong Yao have crossed the Wei River and are coming here. However, the number of support troops is only thousands of people, which is not enough to worry; Zhang Ren and Hao Zhao have no accurate information for the time being; while in terms of Tongguan, Xu Huang found that the flag on the pass had been changed to Liu Beijun, and immediately commanded the soldiers to attack the pass, ready to take the Tongguan in one fell swoop while the army was unstable. Under Wang Ping's defense, Tongguan is not in trouble.

All of this is not as shocking as Cao's news. According to the report of Tan Ma, Cao Yan has personally led the army into Hedong County and broken through several counties to kill Guanzhong. It is expected that he will have nearly 100,000 people. Zhao Feng noticed that when Tan Ma said the news, Niu Jin, who had always been fearless, turned pale, and Zhang Ni sat on the ground.

"It is impossible for Cao Yan to know the realization of our plan, so he sent troops into the pass. He should just want to break into the pass from the Pujin Pass, and he didn't know that I had occupied the pass. Now we are stationed at the Pujin Pass, and we should strictly guard the pass. After the arrival of General Zhang Ren's reinforcements, we will do it again!" At this time, Zhao Feng could only force himself to calm down and prepare to guard Pujin Pass. According to the Malay report, Cao Wei attacked Hedong County very quickly, and now it is only one or two days away from here at most. If Sima Yi's garrison in Hedong surrenders, Cao Jian may not be able to reach the other side of the Yellow River tomorrow afternoon. No matter how fast Zhang Ren and others are, they will not arrive until at least three days later. Although he has the Yellow River Sky Insurance to rely on, Cao Jun has nearly 100,000 people after all. Zhao Feng now only has 5,000 defenders on hand. Even if you only cross one-tenth, it is enough for him to drink a pot.

Thinking of this, Zhao Feng did not dare to neglect it. He ordered people to demolish the ferry by the Yellow River as soon as possible, and then confiscate the ships on both sides as much as possible, which should be able to delay some time. At the same time, Zhao Feng also sent someone to urge Zhang Ren and Hao Zhao to come and meet with him as soon as possible.
