Chapter 1228 Capture Xuanyuan Pass without blood

Chapter 1226: Taking over Xuanyuan Pass without bloodshed

Of the 98 counties in the two counties of Yuzhou and the four countries, Runan County alone accounts for 37 counties, and Runan is the headquarters of the Yuan family.

During the Battle of Hanshui, in order to deal with Xiang Yu's hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans, Qin Hao dug up the Hanshui and flooded the Seventh Army. As a result, Runan in the lower reaches also suffered as a result, and hundreds of thousands of refugees were displaced. Hao's few black spots.

Several years have passed, and under the Yuan family's vigorous development and resource allocation, as well as Zhao Kuangyin's wholehearted governance, Runan has gradually recovered its vitality.

Today's Runan County is much worse than before the Yellow Turban Uprising, but it is still the most prosperous county in the world today, and it is not a problem to raise 10,000+ troops.

After owning more than 30 counties in Runan, Zhao Kuangyin also initially possessed the capital to fight against Yuan Shu. Even if Yuan Shu sent Lian Po to lead an army of 15 to fight, Zhao Kuangyin still had the confidence to fight against him.

There are four main reasons why Zhao Kuangyin was able to occupy more than 30 counties in Runan in such a short period of time:

1. In order to support Yuan Shu's unification of Yuzhou, the Yuan family's heritage was also consumed a lot, and most of the personnel moved to Chen County with Yuan Shu, which greatly reduced the Yuan family's control over Runan;
2. Zhao Kuangyin made sufficient preparations for the day of self-reliance. Many county magistrates and guards belonged to him, and Zhao Kuangyin himself was the prefect of Runan, so it was extremely convenient to act.

3. The Runan Yuzhou Army was not prepared enough, and they never thought that their own people would come to beat them.

It was under the simultaneous operation of these three points that for the Yuan family, even the rock-solid Runan County, under Zhao Kuangyin's day and night, quietly poaching the foot of the wall, a little bit of cracks appeared and finally collapsed completely.

In addition, Zhao Kuangyin's luck is not bad, and there are no accidents or changes in the middle, so Zhao Kuangyin can have such a good start.

Zhao Kuangyin and Lian Po had a very good personal relationship. Before Lian Po led the army alone, he was even feared by Yuan Shu because of his relationship with Zhao Kuangyin. As a result, he missed many good opportunities to lead the army and make meritorious deeds. Now the two are going to fight on the battlefield.

Zhao Kuangyin knew Lian Po well, and he knew that although the personal relationship between the two was good, Lian Po would never show mercy to him because of this, and it was even more impossible to subdue Lian Po through personal relationships.

Lian Po is a truly loyal person, even if he knows Yuan Shu is a mediocre leader, he will never vote for another leader.

Unless Yuan Shu took the initiative to do some deadly things to make Lian Po completely despair of him, Lian Po would never have any possibility of betrayal.

Since it is impossible to persuade them to surrender, the only option is to fight with all their strength.

Zhao Kuangyin is not afraid of fighting Lian Po, but he is afraid that when he fights Lian Po, Qin Jun will suddenly attack him from behind, and once he faces a double attack, even he may be powerless.

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. The Qin army is in charge now. On the surface, it is Qin Jian and Tan Daoji, but in fact it is Jia Xu, that old fox.

Jia Xu is the most cunning and cunning person, he wished that our army and the Yuzhou army would lose both, and would never help the Yuzhou army at this time. "Zhao Pu said calmly.

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head and said: "At this time and at that time, I am not afraid that the Qin army will join hands with the Yuzhou army, but I am only afraid that the old man Jia Xu will make trouble.

Although our army has retreated from Guangcheng Pass, Xuanyuan Pass is still in our hands.

Xuanyuan is related to the safety of the entire Sizhou, and Jia Xu will never give up, but Xuanyuan Pass is also a barrier for our army to resist the Qin army, and Benhou does not want to give up.

If Jia Xu came to take Xuanyuan Pass at this time, he would not need to attack the city, but would only need to lead the army there, and tens of thousands of our troops would be restrained. "

In front of Zhao Pu, Zhao Kuangyin said the most worrying thing in his heart, but Zhao Pu laughed after hearing it.

"My lord, Xuanyuan Pass is not only not a barrier to our Runan, but also a reminder for us.

Have you forgotten that Xuanyuan Guan can only block the Qin army in the two directions of Yique Pass and Guangcheng Pass, but the Qin army can still walk around to the back of Xuanyuan Pass from Ling County. "

Zhao Kuangyin patted his head suddenly, why did he give me such an important matter? He only paid attention to the Qin army in Sizhou, but forgot that Zhangling County, one of the five counties in Jingbei, actually borders Runan County, and left The front line of Zhangling can completely bypass the back of Xuanyuan Pass.

"If our army had sufficient strength, we would naturally be able to stop this circumventing surprise soldier, but a single Lian Po has already restrained most of our army's strength, and there is no extra strength to stop the Qin army.

And if the Qin army really sent troops to take back Xuanyuan Pass, then Xuanyuan Pass must face a situation of flanking attacks from front and back, and it is undoubtedly unrealistic to defend only by the defenders in the pass.

Since it is doomed not to be able to defend, why divide our troops to protect Xuanyuan Pass, which is dispensable to our army? "

Speaking of this, Zhao Pu looked at Zhao Kuangyin with a serious face, and said in a deep voice: "Master, for our army, the most urgent task is to stabilize the situation and repel Yuan Shu, not to make enemies everywhere.

Zhao Pu believes that the Qin army is the only ally that our army can win at the moment, so we should make good friends with the Qin army at all costs, even if we take the initiative to give up Xuanyuan Pass. "

Zhao Pu's words made Zhao Kuangyin suddenly enlightened. Because he had just started the war with the former army, he subconsciously regarded the Qin army as an opponent, but ignored that the relationship between the two parties had changed.

"What the military adviser said is reasonable. Xuanyuanguan is really valuable to our army, and now our army is really not suitable for two-front warfare."

After saying something in a deep voice, Zhao Kuangyin said again: "Since Xuanyuan Pass is useless to our army, and Qin Jun is determined to win Xuanyuan Pass, it is not a bad idea to use Xuanyuan Pass to win over Qin Jun.

Military division, I will leave it to you to return Xuanyuan Pass to the Qin army as an envoy. "

"No." Zhao Pu replied in a deep voice.

Yique Pass.

Qin Qiong led the generals and asked Jia Xu for orders: "Military Master, now that Lian Po and Zhao Kuangyin are fighting, and most of Zhao Kuangyin's troops are restrained by Lian Po, it is the best time for our army to take back Xuanyuan Pass."

"That's right, military commander, once Xuanyuan Pass is recaptured and all eight Luoyang passes are in hand, the defense line on the eastern front of Sizhou will be completely complete."

Guan Sheng said, and then the rest of the generals also spoke up one after another, and what they said was nothing more than words asking for a fight.

Seeing this, Jia Xu laughed and said, "Don't worry, fighting is the worst policy, and subduing others without fighting is the best policy.

Don't worry, within ten days, Zhao Kuangyin will take the initiative to return Xuanyuan Pass. "

All the generals showed disbelief when they heard the words. After all, the position of Xuanyuan Pass is too important. Regarding the ownership of Xuanyuan Pass, the Qin Army and the Yuzhou Army also negotiated no less than ten times. Let it go, so how could Zhao Kuangyin take the initiative to return it.

Seeing that the generals didn't believe it, Jia Xu didn't explain too much. For the superior, if he explained everything clearly to his subordinates, it would seem that the subordinates were too incompetent. In short, time will prove everything.

What Jia Xu said was ten days, but just after the fifth day, Zhao Kuangyin's envoy Zhao Pu arrived at Yique Pass, and what he did was to return Xuanyuan Pass.

So far, the Qin army took back Xuanyuanguan without bloodshed, and the defense on the eastern front of Sizhou was completely complete.
