Chapter 18 Dark Crossing Chen Cang
Yongnian County. It is located in the remnant veins of the Shandong foothills of Taihang, the Great Plain of North China in the east, Handan in the south, and the giant deer in the north. The famous Guangfu Xin Palace was established here during the Warring States Period. The geographical location is very important, and it is rich in resources and talents. It is the hope of Guangping County. The eastern mountains and western plains of the county flow through the Fuyang River, Zhizhang River, Liulei River and other rivers in the middle. In the eastern foothills of Yongnian County, He Chenzang's soldiers were more than 20,000 Yongnian Mingshan, and Wenchen, in addition to Guo Jia and Jia Xu, should retreat to the ancient city of Handan.
This Mingshan Mountain is also called Smart Mountain or Ming Mountain. The mountain is steep and shaped like a lying elephant. The water is winding around the north, like a belt. There are peaks of Pig Mountain, Dog Mountain and Rabbit Mountain in the east. It is a scenic spot in southern Hebei, which is known as "Congshan Yunxiu" which is one of the eight scenes of Pinggan.
Now that I "cultivate the plank road in the Ming Dynasty and cross the Chencang secretly", I have done almost all the homework I should do, and the rest depends on whether Yuan Shao is fooled or not. This invasion of Hebei is the best way to destroy Yuan Shao in one go, but it is obviously impossible. He came with three aimings: First, it was a sneak attack on Julu City, dividing Jizhou into north and south in one fell swoop. The north is still under Yuan Shao's hands for the time being, but the southern part of Jizhou will be quickly gnashed by himself. Second, if Julu City can't take it down, he will retreat to take Ye City and force Yuan Shao to move to the state government, which will also be very harmful to Hebei Zhaocheng. Third, in case the first two requirements fail, Gao Shun's left side of the road to contain people and horses will retreat to Jingxing. He and Wei Yan will join forces to control the counties of Handan and Anyang. In a word, in a word, in any case, you should put your tentacles into Hebei.
The scenery of Mingshan Mountain is charming, with strange rocks and strange peaks. It is rare that He Chen is still in the mood to enjoy it with Guo Jia and Jia Xu.
"Your lord, just came to report that General Huang had repeatedly repelled Yuan Tan's fierce attacks in Rencheng. Yuan's army suffered heavy casualties and had to return to the Bai people for rest." Guo Jia seemed to be absent-minded about the elegant and quiet scenery around him, but he was very interested.
"Huang Zhongyong's three armies is indeed the general of the world. If there are more such generals, there is no need to worry about the world." Jia Xu also felt the same way, and then answered.
"It's really hard to say that Wei Yan, who was promoted by an exception, was able to surround Ye City with the same force with 10,000 people. Wang Qiao, the general, broke through three strange soldiers. Such a record is really surprising. There is also Zhao Yun, regardless of the combat effectiveness of the "Xunqi cavalry", just looking at him as if he was in no man's land among the armies, shooting more than ten generals in the Zhang camp, and killing the general Lv Xiang on the spot. He knew that this man had the courage to be defeated by ten thousand men, and his force would never be inferior to Huang Zhong, Dian Wei and others.
"Ha ha." He Chen smiled proudly. If you want to talk about the recognition of people in this era, if you say the second, no one dares to be the first.
"In fact, it is not as mysterious as Feng Xiao said. Wei Yan can take the lead and take the lead. It is that the "fangs" spy branch of Bingzhou has gone deep into Ye City, especially Kong Zhou, the second leader, who has personally sat in it. Although they have not entered the upper core, don't forget that what they are good at collecting information and then Analyze and find the truth of the origin of the matter from the clues. Wang Qiao's troops were mobilized, and he couldn't hide it from their eyes. As for Zhao Yun, he can let Benzhou Mu risk his life and run to Changshan as an exception. Think about it with his toes, and you will know that this person must be extraordinary.
"What the Lord said is. Regarding the 'fangs', my subordinates used to be puzzled, but now it seems that they are still eye-sighted. The use of this intelligence system is really shocking. As long as Guo Jia thinks that when He Chen wants to know someone, he eats, sleeps, or goes to the street, even when he goes to the toilet, he has a few pairs of eyes staring at you from head to foot, and he feels a chill all over his body. Shit, if you know that you are being followed by someone, even if you are XX, you may not be able to lift it.
"Lord, it's time for General Huang to turn the light into darkness and attack and disturb the rear direction of Hebei. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the real Yuan Shao's army will not be beautiful."
He Chen turned his head to look at Guo Jia, pondered for a while, and slowly nodded and said, "In this case, let's evacuate even Wang Ling's 5,000 people together. Without Huang Zhong's response on the flank, I'm afraid that with his 5,000 people, I can't defend the Qinghe ferry."
"No, as soon as Wang Ling withdrew, our army's plan to cross Zhangshui in the north was completely defeated." Guo Jia hurriedly blocked the road.
"It seems that Wen Chou was afraid of being beaten in the first battle. He didn't dare to come out of the giant deer. I guess he will wait for Yuan Shao's main force." He Chen shook his head with a wry smile.
"Not necessarily..." Before Guo Jia finished his words, Zhao Jun came in a hurry with a happy face.
"Lord, the big thing can be determined." Zhao Jun hasn't leaned in yet, and the bright voice has come from afar.
"What happened?" He Chen's eyebrows jumped gently, suppressed his eager impulse, and said in a low voice.
"There are two pieces of news. The first one is not very good. Chunyu Qiong's troops have left Yangping County. It is estimated that they can support Yecheng in less than three days. I'm afraid that the pressure on Wei Yan will become great."
He Chen raised his eyebrows, did not express his opinion, and asked, "What about the second news?"
"After Wenchou collected the defeated army, there were a total of 60,000 horse infantry. The army has left Julu City and went down along Guangping. The direction is either to attack Handan or to support Ye City, leaving only Zhang Yan, Qian Zhao, Lv Kuang and other generals to defend the city."
"Good." He Chen roared excitedly, turned back and forth two steps, and suddenly looked up and said, "What's the movement of Yuan Shao's army?"
"There is no news for the time being, but when Wen Chou was dispatched, Yuan Shao's army was still on its way to the giant deer."
"God help the Lord." Guo Jia also high-fived excitedly, with a happy face.
"The bodyguard." He Chen didn't want to drink.
"No."
"Order Wang Ling to build a pontoon bridge and build a bamboo raft overnight. Yongzhi to the Shangqinghe ferry, and the fast horse can be reached in two days. In any case, let him get his things ready within the time.
"Order Huang Zhong to withdraw from Rencheng immediately, and set up an ambush along the way to drag Yuan Shao down."
"Order Wei Yan to withdraw from Ye City to the north as soon as possible, join forces with Meng Yu, the general of Handan, and be ready to attack Wen Chou's army at any time."
"Order Ma Yu, the Chinese army brigade to guard against Wen Chou's movement at any time. If they have a retreating movement, they must bite tightly."
"Order Chuquan, Lou Gui, all the cavalry, ready to go."
"No..."
One bodyguard after another was ordered to evacuate, but He Chen's excitement lingered.
"Lord, there is a war report from the mouth." At this moment, Lou Gui, who had been patrolling and guarding, suddenly looked anxious.
"What's going on?" He Chen was shocked. Fukou Pass was his own way back to Bingzhou. Once there was a problem here and the retreat was cut off, it would be a big trouble.
"Gao Lan, the general of Yuan Shao's subordinates, led 10,000 soldiers and secretly went to Fukou Pass. Fortunately, Guo Huai, the general, found in time that Gao Lan could not steal the Pass, and he could not attack, so he retreated."
What? Gao Lan has touched the mouth gate? Shit, I just praised Kong Zhou in front of me. This time, I poked such a big Lou for myself. There was no news even when he touched his door. Is this guy rolling on Zhen Jiang's belly?
"What did you say? Guo Huai?" He Chen suspected that he had misheard.
"Yes, the guard is called Guo Huai." Lou Gui was extremely sure.
"Guo Huai?" He Chen was shocked again. When will this guy put it in his account? When did you become a general of Fukou again? When he remembered clearly, it was Jia Xi, a famous general in Hedong, who was guarding him. Why did you become Guo Huai in a blink of an eye? You should know that Jia Jia's surname is Hedong. Although Jia Xi was in decline, he still did not drop out of school and was proficient in military tactics since childhood. Although it has been a rare year, it is still strong. It can open a big bow, be good at riding and shooting, and always holding it. It is the most appropriate to guard the pass. Jia Xi has not been in office since the party's rebellion. He let Deng Zhi persuade him and hire him with a lot of money, and finally got the veteran. And one thing that He Chen is looking forward to is his grandson Jia Kui and great-grandson Jia Chong, who are all great talents.
"The thing is like this. Although Jia Xi, the guard of the mouth, did not reduce the strength of the past, after all, in the ancient and rare years, there were many small troubles, just uncomfortable, infected with wind and cold, and the high fever did not subside. Guo Huai was originally a general in Fukou. Jia Xi saw that this person was always quick-witted and had experience in the art of war, so he wrote a letter to Xun Sinong, promoted him as a partial general, as a deputy, and guarded the mouth gate together.
"Although Guo Huai is young, he is good at planning and acting with precision. It is he who found Gao Lan's plot and calmly organized the soldiers to stick to it, which did not make the Hebei soldiers intend to present."
"It's okay, it's okay." He Chen wiped a cold sweat. Guo Huai himself knew that he was a native of Taiyuan Yangqu and a famous general of the State of Wei in the Three Kingdoms period. In the early years, Sima, who served as the Xiahou Yuan army, later stayed in the west of the State of Wei to be responsible for defending the western state of Shu, and repeatedly quell the Qianghu rebellion. At the beginning of Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition and Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition, Guo Huai participated in almost all the resistance wars against Shu. He was a typical Xiaoqiang and could not be killed. And because of his achievements, he was continuously promoted. Finally, he was appointed as the military governor of Yong and Liangzhou. He was promoted to the rank of general of Cheqi. After his death, he was posthumously awarded the title of general. Although he resisted Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, he later won more or less against Jiang Wei. The Romance records that he once lured the "mysterious king" to Jiang Wei's great defeat. On the way to the chase, he was reflected in the middle door by Jiang Wei's bare hands. After returning to the village with first aid, he pulled out the arrow and died of blood. But in history, Guo Huainai died of illness. It was because of the description of the Romance that his impression in people's hearts dropped by at least three levels. At least in history, Guo Huai was a general who stood alone.
"This Guo Yuan did a good job. When he returns to Bingzhou afterwards, he must use it again." He Chen said to Guo Jia in a low voice, mainly because the owner Bo Chen Lin was not there, and He Chen was afraid that he would forget the matter, so he asked Guo Jia to help write it down. It seems that there are still many talents that have not been discovered under their own system, such as Wang Chang, Wen Hui and so on. Although these people are famous in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, they have left a lot of color in history. After returning to Bingzhou this time, there will be a heavy net pulling operation to take all the famous generals and advisers in Bingzhou, and the fucking fat water will not flow to the fields of outsiders. If you really want someone to work under someone else's hands, isn't it disgusting?
