The Huarong Trail is also known as the Huarong Road, and its roads are winding and rugged, and the lanes are particularly long.The whole road could not accommodate many people walking side by side, and large soldiers and horses walked side by side, and only six or seven people could travel together at most.As soon as he entered Huarong Dao, a strong wind blew in his face, which made Zhao Yu shiver.I can't help but think of the plot when I was young, when I was watching the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, when Cao Cao was defeated in the Battle of Chibi and walked away from Huarong Dao.Before the Battle of Chibi, Zhuge Liang calculated that Cao Cao would be defeated and go to Huarong, and watched the sky at night, and Cao Cao should not be killed.Zhuge Liang considered that Cao Cao and Guan Yu were gracious, so he sent Guan Yunchang to guard Huarong Dao and leave personal favors with Guan Yu.In the romance, it is also said that under Zhuge Liang's strategy, Cao Cao really retreated from Wulin to Huarong Road, and laughed three times on the way that Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu were not resourceful enough to set up an ambush at a dangerous place.However, Zhao Zilong laughed with a smile, thanks to Xu Huang and Zhang He, who were both enemies of Zhao Yun, Cao Cao was able to escape; The second laughed at Zhang Yide, and it was Zhang Liao and Xu Huang who resisted Zhang Fei, so that Cao Cao escaped again; The three smiles are not trivial, they laughed out of Guan Yunchang, and they were on the Huarong narrow road where there was a husband in danger, and Cao Jun had been hit several times, and he was unable to fight again at this time.In desperation, Cao Cao had to beg Guan Yu to let him go, Guan Yu remembered the old kindness, released Cao Cao, and allowed Cao Cao to return to Jiangling.It can be said that in the entire romance, the fiasco and stupidity of Cao Cao's army are revealed.is full of showing Zhuge Liang's talent for ghosts and gods, as well as Guan Yunchang's righteousness, and the whole story is too exaggerated, which makes some people who pay attention to history feel especially unfair to Cao Cao.In fact, to say that Cao Cao defeated Huarong Dao, in the official history, it does exist.As for Cao Cao's walking on Huarong Road and laughing, there is also this matter, but Cao Cao did not laugh three times, but only once.At that time, Cao Cao laughed not because Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu were not resourceful, but because Liu Bei was slow despite his strategy.Of course, it also attracted enemy soldiers and horses, but it was not an ambush, it was just a chasing army, but there was no danger.In fact, even the Battle of Chibi has many stories, and the romance and history are very different, and it can even be said that they are completely different situations.At that time, although Cao Cao was defeated in the first battle of Chibi, the situation he faced was not very grim.Because before the Chibi confrontation, it was Cao Cao who was strong and Sun Liu was weak, and Sun Quan and Liu Bei first considered how to thwart Cao Cao's powerful offensive.Cao Cao was not allowed to cross the Yangtze River in order to preserve his sphere of influence or to ensure that he would not be wiped out by Cao Cao.This view is equivalent to the fact that Shu and Wu mainly fought to repel Cao Cao, not to eliminate Cao Cao.In particular, in the situation at that time, although Shu and Wu were quite confident in their hearts, they were not sure at all.With the outcome uncertain, they did not and could not draw some of their forces to set up an ambush on Huarong Road, where Cao Cao might be defeated.Therefore, on the way to defeat and retreat, although Cao Cao had pursuers behind him, there was no ambush army in front of him.However, on the road to Huarong, he encountered unimaginable difficulties, that is, the muddy road, which caused Cao Cao's army to suffer a lot of losses.Some people say that it was because of the rainstorm season that made the road unwalkable, but there are also people who Cao Cao's path encountered a swamp.In order to pass, Cao Cao ordered his soldiers to cut down reeds and pave the mats, and even ordered the wounded soldiers to pass through the swamp as meat shields.This time, after Zhao Yu discussed with Guo Jia, Guo Jia gave the army to start passing after many days of sunny weather.Although the weather is hotter, at least the road is somewhat easier to walk, and even so, there are still some muddy roads that can be seen when the army is advancing.It's just that in comparison, most of them are still doing it, and there is no difficulty for the entire army.And when he was moving forward, he suddenly walked to a narrow intersection in front of him, and Zhao Yu couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he saw the intersection.If it is said in the version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, this should be the third intersection that Cao Cao passed through in the Battle of Chibi and escaped from Huarong Road, which is the intersection guarded by Guan Yu.It's just that this time, Zhao Yu believes that there will definitely be no ambush here.If an ambush is set up here, how many troops will the enemy need to pay if they want to ambush Army B.If there are fewer soldiers and horses, it is very likely to be swallowed by the B army, which is not cost-effective at all, I believe that the three armies of Wei, Shu and Wu will definitely not do such a stupid thing.However, out of worry, Zhao Yu couldn't help but ask Guo Jia: "Guo Jia, the road here is narrow, if the enemy army sets up an ambush here, it will be extremely unfavorable for my army."
If you want to, send a group of soldiers and horses to the passage first to investigate the situation. ”After hearing Zhao Yu's words, Guo Jia was slightly stunned, and then looked at the surrounding terrain, but it was just as Zhao Yu said.The terrain here is very suitable for ambushes, but Guo Jia believes that although this place is suitable for ambushes, the enemy should not set up ambushes here.Immediately, Guo Jia arched his hand at Zhao Yu and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the terrain here seems to be very suitable for setting up ambushes.But Guo Jia believes that the Zhao army will definitely not set up an ambush here, otherwise, setting up an ambush here will not be a big army for our army. ”Guo Jia's answer obviously made Zhao Yu feel inexplicable, if it were himself, he would definitely set up an ambush here.Immediately, Zhao Yu couldn't help but ask Guo Jia and said: "Oh, since it is suitable for setting up ambushes here, why won't the enemy set up an ambush here" Immediately, Guo Jia explained to Zhao Yu: "The road here is narrow, even if it is a large army, only a few people can pass side by side."
If the enemy is in ambush here, he will not have to face our army head-on, but will be able to retreat after a sneak attack.But such an ambush was not a big blow to our army, at most it only hindered the speed of the army's advance.Moreover, if the enemy army once set up an ambush here, it would be tantamount to exposing his aim, and the march behind our army would become cautious.If there is any ambush in the back, I am afraid that the effect will be very small, so the enemy army should abandon this ambush instead of doing so.After our army entered the hinterland of Nahuarong Dao, it was ambushed and flanked, and its effect was even better. ”After hearing this, Zhao Yu couldn't help but nodded, and said quite agreefully: "I see, you ghost guys are still more skilled, if it were me, I'm afraid I would set up an ambush here."
For me, I'd rather give up the best opportunity than set up an ambush wherever I can.Shoot a shot to make the enemy tremble, which is also my purpose. ”Guo Jia immediately spoke: "Your Majesty is not wrong with what he said, but in comparison, the purpose of the enemy army is not to stop our army from delaying time.Before our army entered Huarong Dao, in order to dry up the truth after this heavy rain, we had rested for enough time.During this time, it was enough for the enemy, and there was absolutely no need for the enemy to set up an ambush for the purpose of delaying the advance of our army.Its only purpose is to kill our army, reduce the strength of our army, and strive for a little bargaining chip for victory in the future war. ”After listening to Guo Jia's words, Zhao Yu couldn't help but sneer, and said quite nonchalantly: "Hmph, these guys are too cunning, but they are too naïve."
Even if they are hiding in the shadows and want to ambush and kill our army, but with their little strength and the loss of morale of the army, how can they have the ability to inflict heavy damage on our army, I really can't wait, watching their ambush, what is it like, I really want to see it.If the opponent is too weak, I will find it useless, only the stronger the enemy, the stronger my will to fight. ”Hearing that Zhao Yu was so confident, Guo Jia clasped his hands into fists and said, "Your Majesty has such ambition and such a fighting spirit, it is really a blessing for my army."
I believe that under the guidance of Your Majesty, our army will be able to be like a sharp sword this time, and it will be invincible all the way.No matter how strong the enemy army is, I believe that under our army, there is no way to resist it.However, if Your Majesty is not at ease, it is better to send a group of soldiers and horses to the depths of Huarong Dao to find out and understand, and if there is an enemy, come and report it as soon as possible. ”Zhao Yu nodded and said, "This is the best, in this way, I will be somewhat relieved." ”Following Zhao Yu's order, Guo Jia immediately dispatched a team of sergeants to immediately go to the depths of Huarong Dao to investigate.This group of men and horses was no more than ten men, and all of them were lightly armed, typical light cavalry, whose purpose was only to survey the terrain and landforms, not to attack and defend.In addition to a long weapon, each person has only a long sword to protect themselves, although this kind of sergeant is not strong, but its insight is particularly special.When they go forward to investigate the military situation, it is up to them whether they can find effective intelligence.You must know that those ambushes, when they are ambushed with the help of mountain and forest roads, are often extremely hidden and difficult for people to detect.However, once these sergeants find out about the enemy, they are likely to be ruthlessly killed, so in comparison, the danger of these sergeants' actions is still quite great.When the sergeants went to spy on the situation, Zhao Yu and Guo Jia continued on their way, but before the team returned, the whole army would not march too fast, but only walk slowly.After passing through two narrow crossings in a row, and never seeing those sentry posts return, Zhao Yu couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart, and couldn't help but say to Guo Jia: "Guo Jia, what the hell is going on, it stands to reason that the sergeant who went to investigate the intelligence should also come back, but why haven't I seen them return until now, could it be that something happened":
