Chapter 437: The Turtle in the Urn: Zhou Yu


More than ten miles outside the city of Chuyang, in the military camp across the river, all the young generals in front of Zhou Yu's tent hung their heads and were silent, but a general in front of the left suddenly spoke: "Dadu Governor, our army has been attacking Chongyang for more than ten days without success, and there are only Li Yan and Pang Tong in the city There are less than 15,000 soldiers and horses, but our army only has 20,000 troops, it is better to bypass Weiyang and capture Nanzheng."

Zhou Yu shook his head slightly, "Before the Yangping Pass battle report came, our army's back road would be lost."

"The governor of the capital guarded Baishui Pass with my brother Yang Ping, and only gave him 2,000 soldiers and horses, if Baishui Pass is lost, wouldn't we be in a more difficult situation" Zhou Yu glanced at him with a smile, "Renovation, you are a lieutenant general of our army, how can you be so impatient." ” Yang Ding sighed lightly and raised his hand slightly towards him, "I have been fighting in Liangzhou for many years, and I have also coveted the land of Yizhou, but Yizhou is different from the land of Liangzhou, there are many mountains and forests, and there are many hills. ” Zhou Yu waved his hand, "Let's talk about how to lure Pang Tong and Li Yan out of the city, Hanzhong City is high and thick, with Zhao Zilong leading an army of thirty or forty thousand to defend it, even if Ma Teng and Han Sui are better under the command of the two generals, but the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is not good at attacking the city, if our army can't take the city pass as soon as possible, I'm afraid" "Report" outside the camp, suddenly a herald rushed in, "Report to the Governor of the Metropolitan City, General Yang Ping of Baishui Pass will report quickly, the Jiangdong Army broke through Mianzhu Pass six days ago, General Du Ji and the elite of the Chinese army in Wuguan were completely damaged, and most of the rest of the new soldiers were captured. ” "Bang", Zhou Yu stood up suddenly, and pointed to the herald in the tent with one hand, "Why is the battle report from six days ago only here?"

"Back to the Governor, when we sent dozens of heralds to the north one after another, Gan Fei, the captain of the Jiangdong Xunyang Battalion, led a group of more than 1,000 people out of Jiameng Pass to guard the mountain roads along the way.

Zhou Yu's eyes were dark, and his feet staggered, "Then where is the Jiangdong army now, there are no high-headed war horses in Shuzhong, but there are many dwarf horses that can endure in the mountains, if they break through the Mianzhu Pass, they will immediately transfer troops to the north, and at this moment I am afraid that they have already attacked Baishui Pass." ” "Report to the governor of Dadu, Jiangdong General Gan Ning and Huang Zhong each led a road to Baishui Pass, Gan Ning led the army north along the road to capture Wudu, Huang Zhong commanded a 10,000 army to surround Baishui Pass, General Yang Ping asked the governor of Dadu to rush to help."

"Governor Dadu, once Baishui Pass is lost, our army's back road will be cut off, and when there will be no soldiers, horses, food and grass, our army will be alone all the way, Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang will attack from both sides, and we are afraid that the whole army will be annihilated."

One of the lieutenants in the tent stood up and hugged his fists.

Zhou Yu glared at him fiercely, his chest rose and fell with anger, "What are you afraid of, Baishui Pass has not been lost, you want to withdraw the army, General Ma Chao has not withdrawn the army after attacking Hanzhong City for three or four months, our army has gone all the way south, that is, General Du Ji also died in Mianzhu, if I withdraw the army and return to Wudu like this, what face do I have to see the lord again" The lieutenant buried his head, "That Ma Teng Han then summoned all the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, as well as the Qiang people to help in the war, there are 60,000 or 70,000 troops, and the strong attack in March and April will not be able to capture Hanzhong, I am afraid that it is intentional." ” Zhou Yu rolled his eyes angrily, pointed at the captain with one hand, was silent for a long time, and suddenly grinned, "Order, our army immediately retreats to Fu County, in addition, all the sentinels on the other side of the river are also withdrawn, and now there are still two or three hours before dark, General Yang Ding, you immediately led an army of 10,000 to set off immediately and rushed to Baishui Pass to help." ” "Whoa."

Yang Ding's face was overjoyed, and he immediately raised his feet and went out.

"Wait."

At this time, Zhou Yu strode forward, stretched out his hand to whisper two words in his ear, and patted him on the shoulder again.

Yang Dinghu glanced at Zhou Yu suspiciously, raised his hand slightly, and turned out of the account.

After a while, there was a neighing of war horses and the footsteps of a large group of soldiers outside the camp.

Zhou Yu glanced around at the generals in the tent, "You don't have to worry, General Jin Xuan, the commander of Zuo Fengling, has led 10,000 soldiers and horses over the mountains and mountains, and came to the aid from the ancient road of Baishuiguan, I led the army to fight in the land of Guanghan for a month or two, and they should also arrive at the mountains and forests near Baishuiguan in a few days, and Baishuiguan will definitely not be lost." ” The generals left the camp, Zhou Yu stared at the battle report placed on the case, his eyes were slightly red, and the Chinese paper on which the battle report was written was crumpled with one palm.

"Bohou's death, it's all up to me, Jiangdong actually attaches so much importance to this Hanzhong, Wolong and Phoenix Chicks, and the two great conspirators who have been made by Mr.

Shuijing to get peace in the world have gathered in Hanzhong, and gathered 100,000 troops to deal with Zhou Yu in my district" He turned around and looked at the marching map hanging behind him.

"Now it seems that our army has been attacked on three sides, Yangping Pass is lost, Wudu Dao will also fall into the hands of Gan Ning, he Xu Jingshan and Zhang Derong can't save me, they can only contain Gan Ning's soldiers and horses all the way, then I will dare to eat Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses before Zhuge Liang's rear army follows up, as for Pang Tong, if I don't expect, he will not dare to go out of the city."

Speaking of this, a herald suddenly broke into the camp, "Returning to the Grand Governor, when our army left the camp and headed south, there were also sentinels in the city of Weiyang who returned, and it seems that they have sensed the movement of our army." ” "An army of 10,000 marches in 100 days, how can you hide people's eyes and ears" Zhou Yu sneered, "But forgive him, Pang Tong didn't dare to go out of the city, and he would wait to explore again." ” "Whoa."

As the herald left, more than ten miles away from the head of the city of Chuyang, Pang Tong and Li Yan stood together with a tired face.

"Positively, you think, why did Zhou Yu withdraw his troops this time?"

Li Yan did not expose Pang Tong's knowingly questioning, but raised his hand slightly towards him, "Back to the military division, our army has received the battle report of Mianzhu Pass two days ago, I am afraid that Zhuge military division has led the army north and approached Baishui Pass." ” "Whitewater Pass."

Pang Tong pondered for a moment, and spoke again: "I think that our army will immediately pursue south?"

Li Yan shook his head slightly, "With Zhou Yu's wisdom, we must be guarded against." ” "The order is to send additional sentry cavalry to Zhou Yu's camp, and if you encounter enemy scouts, you can intercept and kill them, and you must find out the movement of the enemy's southward army."

"Whoa."

Li Yanmu sent more than ten sentinels outside the city gate to ride out of the city, looking at the dust and smoke they stirred, "Military Division, if Zhou Gongjin sends troops south to aid Baishui Pass, our army will let the reinforcements he sent go south like this, will the soldiers and horses attacking Baishui Pass be exposed to the enemy?"

Pang Tongtong stroked his beard with his hand, "You can see the difference in one day, it is almost dark at the moment, and after the sky lights up tomorrow, we can return to the sentry cavalry, and our army can lead the army to Fu County and take the initiative to seek war." ” "Whoa."

Li Yan hugged his fists and immediately agreed
