Chapter 399: Battle Pot Pass


Return to Hanoi and attack Huguan Xiang Yu's body was shocked, and he was stunned.

His thoughts were flying, his expression was like a tide, and he was stunned for a moment, and Xiang Yu's confused face suddenly burst into deep surprise.

Xiang Yu, who was enlightened, said excitedly: "It turns out that the king's attack on Guanzhong is just a suspicious plan, and the real purpose is to make Yuan Shang neglect his precautions and capture the state from the direction of Huguan."

The potter laughed.

This strategy is the second bird in Zhang Liang's plan to kill two birds with one stone.

This Shangdang County is located in the north of Hanoi County, with Taihang Mountain in the east and Huo Dashan Mountain in the west, only Hanoi in the south and Taiyuan County in the north.

The terrain of this county is high and steep, the dangerous peaks are steep, like a fortress, overlooking Hebei and Henan, the mountains in the territory are steep, the ravines are deep and resistant, and it is a relatively independent regional system.

The strategic position of Shangdang County is important, since the Warring States period, it has become a position of contention among all countries, and the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Qin have fiercely used troops here to compete for this county.

Historically, the famous Battle of Changping, which determines the direction of history, took place in this Shangdang County.

At the beginning, the pottery merchant's strategy of destroying the Jin Dynasty was originally intended to attack Shangdang from Hanoi, and then attack Jinyang from the southeast from Shangdang, but he did not expect to be intervened by the Huns, so he was forced to change his strategy and lead the army into Hedong County.

However, Yuan Shang also happened to camp his heavy troops in the south of Jinyang, thinking that the Tao Chamber of Commerce would attack from the south of Jinyang, and ignored the direction of Shangdang in the southeast of Jinyang.

The pottery merchant wanted to take advantage of Yuan Shang's negligence to play a loud game, return to Hanoi by surprise, and raid Shangdang.

If you can take Shangdang County by surprise, you can go north from its county, bypass the passes in southern Jin, and go straight to the southeast of Jinyang City.

The danger of going to the party is nothing more than Huguan, which is comparable to Hangu Pass and Yangping Pass.

If the potter wants to take over the party, he must take the pot.

At that moment, the potter did not hesitate at all, and ordered Yingbu to continue to play his banner and feign to attack the fortification, but he led the army to retreat from Keiguan into Hanoi County, and went north to Huguan.

Although Shangdang County is located in the mountains, it is still connected with the outside world, and is connected to the north and south through the various trails in the Taihang Mountains.

Among all the roads, the most important one is Taihang.

This trail starts from Changzi County, goes south along the turbidity valley to Hyunshi City, follows the Baishui River Valley to Gaodu City, and then south through Tianjing Pass, you can enter Hanoi County.

The potter chose to take this too line and attacked Huguan by surprise.

The Taihang path is quite rugged, circling and meandering, shaped like a sheep's intestine, and it is only a little better than the Shu Road, which is difficult to go to the blue sky.

The potter ordered Peng Yue to open the road and play the front, open the road in the mountains, build bridges in the water, and open a road for the main army.

Although the road is difficult to walk, fortunately, the Jin army is defenseless along the way, and the Wei army is almost bloodless, so it will break through the Gaodu and Hyun cities along the road, and the army will drive straight into the hinterland of Shangdang.

A few days later, the pot was in sight.

Kettle off.

The one who stayed in Guancheng was Guo Yuan, the general of Yuan Shang's henchman, with about 1,000 Jin troops.

Guo Yuan's life was very leisurely.

Although he only had 1,000 soldiers and horses, he thought that the main force of the potters was in the east of the river, and his Huguan was far away from the flames of war and there was no danger.

What Guo Yuan has to do every day is to patrol and patrol at will, and then go back to the tent to drink wine, listen to small songs, and enjoy this rare comfort.

In addition to this, one of the things Guo Yuan has to do every day is to bring some wine and meat from time to time and visit the Sima family in person.

At the beginning, Sima Yi's family moved from Hanoi to Huguan and came to join Yuan Shang, Sima Yi himself followed Yuan Shang to fight left and right, but the people of Sima and his family were still settled in Huguan for the time being, and did not go to the rear of Jinyang.

Sima Yi was also too confident, thinking that with the help of the Xiongnu soldiers, he could easily drive the potters out of Hanoi, and it would not take long for him to lead the whole clan back to his hometown of Wen County.

Now Sima Yi is deeply trusted by Yuan Shang, and his status seems to have surpassed that of Feng Ji and other strategists, Guo Yuan can also see it clearly, so he comes to visit the Sima clan from time to time, which can be regarded as currying favor with Sima Yi and planning for his future.

"Miss Zhang, if you have any needs, even mention it to Guo, Guo will immediately ask someone to do it for you."

Guo Yuan smiled flatteringly at the young woman in front of him.

The girl in front of her, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a dignified and beautiful temperament, and the temperament of a famous daughter, is Sima Yi's fiancée Zhang Chunhua.

The Zhang family, like the Sima family, is a Hanoi wang family, and they have been married for several generations, which can be said to be a combination of prosperity and disgrace.

Sima Yi and Zhang Chunhua have been married since childhood, and they originally planned to get married this year, but unfortunately, they were just in time for the Tao merchants to enter Hanoi, and the wedding could only be postponed.

Among the families who fled from Hanoi, in addition to the Sima family, there were several other families, and the Zhang family had a close relationship with the Sima family, so naturally they also fled from Hanoi.

After Guo Yuan learned that Zhang Chunhua was Sima Yi's fiancée, he often came to visit, and he sent firewood, wine and food, and was extremely courteous.

"General Guo has a heart, and he will definitely mention General Guo's favor to Zhongda in the future."

Zhang Chunhua gave a blessing, but he was also smart and knew Guo Yuan's intentions.

Guo Yuan was overjoyed, and said with a busy smile: "Miss Zhang's words are serious, Guo just did his duty, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning." ” After a few polite words, he wanted to leave.

At this time, Zhang Chunhua suddenly remembered something, and asked: "By the way, General Guo, I don't know how the war between the Duke of Jin and the pottery merchant is going on right now."

Guo Yuan hurriedly gave a thumbs up and exclaimed: "Speaking of this war, thanks to Zhongda Gongzi, he gave the Duke of Jin a plan to retreat to the first line of the realm, and the wall was clear. ” Zhang Chunhua secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hearing Guo Yuan praise his fiancé, a little proud smile quietly swept between his eyebrows.

"Chunhua girl, don't worry, Zhongda has some ability, don't you know, with him to assist the Duke of Jin, the potter has no choice but to merge the state."

A handsome man walked out behind him, it was Sima Yi's brother Sima Lang.

The smile on Zhang Chunhua's face was even brighter, and he hurriedly bowed to Sima Lang.

Sima Lang stepped forward and sighed again: "Zhong Da is also, he has a talent that has passed through the heavens and latitudes, but he has been reluctant to go out of the mountain, if he had listened to my persuasion and gone out of the mountain a few years earlier, whether it was to assist Yuan Gong or Cao Mengde, where would the potter still have the opportunity to sit in today's place." ” "Zhongda's mind is unfathomable, and our knowledge is too shallow to guess."

Zhang Chunhua sighed softly, although it was self-deprecating, in his tone and words, he was full of pride in his fiancé.

Guo Yuan, who was on the side, was busy and smiled and agreed: "That's what I'm saying, that's right, if Zhongda Gongzi assists our Jin Duke earlier, how can he allow that pottery thief to be so arrogant, maybe at this time, the person who sits on the two rivers is already our Jin."

An urgent sound of "reporting" interrupted Guo Yuan's good interest, and he saw a sentry horse rushing forward.

Guo Yuan frowned, glared at the scout who came and scolded: "What are you yelling about, disturbing the general to talk to Miss Zhang and Sima Gongzi." ” The scout rolled his saddle and dismounted, and exclaimed in a trembling voice: "General, the big thing is not good, there is an urgent report from the south, seventy or eighty thousand Wei troops suddenly entered our Shangdang County from Hanoi, and the cities in the south were caught off guard, and all of them were broken by the Wei army, and the Wei army is coming towards our Huguan City." ” Guo Yuan's body shook violently, and he was stunned, as if he had seen a ghost.

Zhang Chunhua beside him was also shocked, and Sima Lang's calm and calm face also collapsed instantly.

After being frightened for a while, Guo Yuan recovered from the shock, grabbed the scout, and shouted: "Isn't the main force of the pottery thieves all in Hedong, preparing to attack Guanzhong, how can it suddenly enter my Shangdang County?"

The scout was naturally at a loss and couldn't answer his shouting question, but the cruel fact was that the main force of the Wei army did kill at the gate of Huguan.

"Oh no, I'm afraid that Zhongda and Jin Gong have fallen for the potter's plan."

Zhang Chunhua Bingxue was smart and was the first to wake up.

"Sister Chunhua, what's the sound?"

asked Sima Lang in a daze.

Zhang Chunhua stared at his eyebrows, and said with a heavy expression: "The Tao thief's retreat from Jiexiu is simply a feint retreat, he is just by going to attack the key to the name of the battle, and the soldiers and horses are withdrawn to the south in a grand manner, in order to relax our vigilance, but he took the opportunity to return to Hanoi under the starry night, through the Taixing Path, and unexpectedly entered my party, the real intention of the pottery thief is to bypass the main force of our army on the front line of Jiexiu and capture Jinyang from the southeast." ” Zhang Chunhua's words made everything clear, Guo Yuan was so shocked that he was stunned and couldn't say a word.

Sima Lang's previous self-confidence in his brother and his disdain for the pottery merchant also collapsed in an instant, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "I didn't expect that the pottery thief was so treacherous with soldiers, and even Zhongda was deceived by him." ” In a panic, Zhang Chunhua hurriedly said: "Huguan is the southeast gateway of Jin, once Huguan falls, the Wei army of the pottery thief can drive straight into Jinyang City and kill directly under Jinyang City, General Guo, without further ado, hurry up and find a way to defend the city." ” Guo Yuan came to his senses at this time, so he had to quickly order the whole army to be on alert, strictly guard the Huguan, and at the same time send people to Pegasus to the front line of Jiexiu to report to Yuan Shang.

As soon as Guo Yuan's messenger for help left the city, Peng Yue led the Wei army's forward army, and they ran all the way to the foot of Huguan City.

Immediately afterwards, the main force of the 70,000 Wei army led by Tao Shang also slaughtered mightily, forcing the city to go down to the wall, forming a strong attack.

Forty miles south of Jinyang.

Yuan Shang was convinced that the pottery merchants withdrew their troops and reformed the key points, so he was completely relieved, leaving only a few thousand soldiers and horses to guard the border and rest, and led more than 10,000 main troops to return to Jinyang.

Because the crisis was resolved, Yuan Shang was not in a hurry to return to Jinyang, and he stopped and stopped all the way.

Towards evening, Yuan Shang ordered the army to camp on the spot, and set up a banquet in the big tent, summoning Sima Yi and others to come to eat and drink.

"Since the pottery merchant has withdrawn, why don't the Duke of Jin lead the army to counterattack Hedong, or maybe join forces with Cao Cao and destroy the pottery thief in one fell swoop from the north and south."

Lu Bu, who was eager to avenge his father-in-law, couldn't help but speak during the banquet.

Yuan Shang's expression moved slightly, a little tempted, and he couldn't help but look at Sima Yi.

Sima Yi took a sip of wine and said lightly: "The pottery thief is naturally bound to be destroyed, but now the situation has changed, without the help of the Hun iron horse, my Jin country is the weakest country among the five countries, once the pottery merchant is destroyed, we are not able to compete with the rest of the countries for the territory of the pottery thief, it is better to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and when the remaining four countries and the pottery thief fight to lose, we will jump out and reap the benefits of the fisherman." ” "Zhongda is reasonable, reasonable."

Yuan Shang nodded again and again.

Tian Feng on the side said coldly: "Zhong Da is afraid that he underestimated the pottery thief, this person has an endless stream of martial arts heroes, according to the current situation, even if our five countries join forces, we may not be able to destroy him, not to mention that I am the Duke of Jin to watch from the wall." ” Sima Yi smiled disdainfully: "The pottery thief is brutal and conceited, only focusing on the cold family and despising our family, although he has bought a group of talented people from the cold family, but you must know that the talents of the poor family are limited after all, most of the elite heroes are in our family, and they have lost the support of our family. ” Sima Yi's words reached Yuan Shang's heart, and he couldn't help nodding in agreement.

Even Feng Ji, such a conceited person, seemed to be impressed by Sima Yi's wisdom, and he was full of praise and convincing.

In the big tent, Sima Yi was immersed in everyone's praise and praise, smiled slightly, and couldn't help but feel a little proud in the young eagle's eyes.

At this moment, the curtain was lifted, and the sergeant who stepped in brought the cold wind into the tent, causing everyone to shiver.

"Yu Jin Gong, Shangdang General Guo urgently reported, Tao Thief suddenly led the main force of the Wei army from Hanoi to my Shangdang, our army was caught off guard, the Wei army was unstoppable all the way, and it has been killed under Huguan City, General Guo asked Jin Gong to send reinforcements quickly."

In the big tent, there was silence for an instant.

Yuan Shang's ministers and ministers were petrified there in an instant, dumbfounded.

Even Sima Yi, the smug expression on his face instantly collapsed, and his expression froze in a moment of shock. isjgy:
