Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 454 Instigating Wang Zhaoyuan

Jiameng Pass, the ancient city pass, is located at the confluence of Jialing River and Bailong River.

The mountain road at this pass can lead to Hanzhong in the north, Shudu down to Shudu, and down the Jialing River to Langzhong, an important town in Brazil. The geographical location is very important.

During the Wei and Shu Dynasties, there was a battle of "Zhang Fei fighting Ma Chao at night with a lamp on", which made Jiameng Pass famous far and wide.

The terrain here is dangerous. Since ancient times, the military status of the Shu regime has been very important. This time it is also a major hurdle to prevent the Song army from attacking the capital of Shu.

Within the handsome mansion.

A man wearing gold-plated mail sitting on the main seat is Wang Zhaoyuan.

In the hall stood many military generals and counselors of guest officials, all following Wang Zhaoyuan's arrangements and orders.

He talked endlessly, talking on paper, and didn't take Song Jun seriously.

"Although the Song army won a small victory, after all, they were few in number and came from afar. There is a saying in the art of war: if ten times, they will surround them, if they are five times, they will attack them, and if they are twice as many, they will fight. Sanquan Mountain has 5 to 5 people, and Jiameng Pass has [-] people. Not to mention repelling the Song army of [-] to [-], it is enough to continue northward, capture Chencang Pass, and attack the Central Plains.”

"Why did you fail in the past few times? Some people say that our Shu army did not take advantage of the terrain and took the risk to fight. Negative sabotage, lack of vigor and fighting spirit, will only destroy the ambition of my Dashu. We must fight against the Song army, temper the team, adapt to frontal combat, and be reborn from the ashes, so that our Dashu can have the hope of becoming a strong country."

I am not afraid that the general is illiterate, but I am afraid that the general has a lot of culture!

There are many famous generals in history books, most of whom have limited education, but only trained in the army, and finally became victorious generals, the most famous one is Bai Qi.

Wang Zhaoyuan has read a lot and has a good literary talent. He has grafted some Confucian ideas into the art of war.It sounds good in theory, and it makes some sense, but when it is actually implemented, you will find that it is used in the wrong place and out of date.

War is about making prompt decisions and judging the situation. If you hesitate a little, strategic opportunities will be fleeting, and advantages will become disadvantages.

But Wang Zhaoyuan boasted that Zhuge was reborn and could assist the Lord of Shu, taking the opportunity of the Northern Expedition and engulfing the Central Plains.

His goal was ambitious, so he didn't care about the success or failure of the previous few battles.

In his view, this is training and tempering. It makes the Shu army realize the strength of the Song army and its own shortcomings. As long as they dare to fight, work together, and mobilize their enthusiasm, they can fight the Song army.

Everyone in the lobby fell silent after listening.

Even though General Wang Zhaoyuan's remarks were too idealistic and inappropriate, no one dared to refute them.

Because this popular vassal could not listen to persuasion, and whoever dared to refute openly, what awaited him was demotion and distribution.

Metropolitan Zhao Chongtao said with some concern: "General Wang, the Song army is gaining momentum now. After breaking through Xixian County, it has already captured more than 20 beacon camps along the way in Shiqi, Yuguan, and Baishui, and is approaching the Sanquanshan pass. At present, Han Baozheng , Li Jin, Lan Siwan, Wang Shenchao, Zhao Chongwo and other three groups of soldiers and horses mixed together, the group has no leader, waiting for the command of General Wang."

"However, in view of the unevenness of the three groups of troops, this time, whether to deal with it conservatively and focus on defending the city, wait for a period of time, and select one person to lead the three groups of troops, and then it will not be too late to fight head-on with the Song army."

After Wang Zhaoyuan heard this, he frowned, feeling that this was indeed a problem.

"General Wang, I have an idea in my humble position. I don't know if I should say it or not?" Liu Tingzuo, the supervisor, stood up and clasped his fists.

Wang Zhaoyuan glanced at him suspiciously, and said, "Jun Liu, if you have any ideas, feel free to bring them up."

The supervisor Liu Tingzuo talked eloquently: "General Wang, there are three groups of troops ahead, including the guard Wang Shenchao of the Sanquan Pass, the supervisor Zhao Chongwo, the Xingzhou governor Lan Siwan with the remnant soldiers, and Han Baozheng and Li Jinzheng's deputy. The envoys are also remnants of the army. The three groups are gathered together, and the group has no leader, but the battle situation on the front line is complicated and changeable. It is better for General Wang to go to the town in person to have a chance to repel the Song army!"

"To Sanquan Mountain?" Wang Zhaoyuan was a little stunned.

"That's right, the three groups of troops are not subordinate to each other, and problems are prone to occur. Even if they are newly appointed, they may not be able to obey each other. General Wang chooses [-] elites and goes there in person to fight the Song army at Sanquan Mountain. Only then will there be a chance of winning."

"Furthermore, even if the battle situation is unfavorable, we can still retreat to Jiameng Pass, or the Jianmen Pass behind, and consume it with the Song army."

Liu Tingzuo, the supervising army, once again preached that Wang Zhaoyuan was a little moved.

Zhao Chongtao said: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince is about to arrive at Jiameng Pass. If we all leave here and don't wait to be greeted, will it be rude?"

Liu Tingzuo retorted: "Those who do great things don't care about small things. I will go to Sanquan Mountain to fight the Song army. Compared with staying to meet the second prince, it will reflect the strength and integrity of our soldiers. If we successfully block the Song army, it will be a great achievement." One thing. The second prince wants to pick any thorns, but he has no way to start. After all, the credit is there, and even if the officials in the capital of Shu know about it, they will reward General Wang heavily!"

Wang Zhaoyuan nodded, with a smile on his face, as if what the other party said was the truth, and the credit was close at hand, and he was about to get it at his fingertips.

"What Liu Jianjun said is quite reasonable. We are staying here, far away from the Song army, and cannot command the front line well. Instead of waiting for the defeat in the front, we will fight the enemy at Jiameng Pass, it is better to go one step ahead and go to Sanquan Mountain. Guancheng, fight with Song Jun first." Wang Zhaoyuan expressed his opinion and decided to go to Sanquan Mountain.

Seeing that he insisted on this, everyone didn't persuade him much.

Liu Tingzuo also suggested: "The second prince is coming soon, so there is no need to delay. I suggest that my main force should set off early in the morning. Just choose 2 horses. If there are too many people, Sanquan Mountain will not be able to accommodate them."

After hearing this, Wang Zhaoyuan agreed, and ordered several generals to count the troops and set off early tomorrow morning.

Zhao Chongtao was left behind to guard the Jiameng Pass, and was responsible for receiving His Highness the Second Prince.

After everything was arranged properly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Liu Tingzuo's mouth, and the second prince's secret mission was finally completed.
