Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1051
Hangu Guguan, inside the large tent of the Chinese army, the atmosphere is a bit chilly.

The chief general, Xie Yi, was dressed in military uniform, sitting upright with his sword in hand, his face was serious and showed a sense of indifference, looking at the person sitting on the lower table, he said in a deep voice: "Why are you here?"

The expression of the person at the next table was much more relaxed, he was dressed in a brocade robe, and his sitting posture showed a slack. Seeing Xie Yi's appearance of rejecting others thousands of miles away, he said with a smile: "It's a joy to have friends coming from afar. Huh? Wu Yi and I have our own comrades, and we have gone to the front of the battle without hesitation to visit, don't you welcome Wu Yi?"

"Xiao..."

When Xie Yi heard this, his face turned dark.As soon as he uttered a word, the person sitting next to him suddenly stood up, and said solemnly: "Call me Sanyuan, don't match your position, it will only increase your embarrassment! You and I are old friends, and we have already talked about each other since we were in office. Although there are differences in each other's strengths, it's just a matter of chance and talent, if you insist on this, it will damage the old friendship."

Damn!

When Xie Yi heard this, he couldn't help but slap on the desk. He had already been reminded several times and he was prepared for it, but he didn't expect to be uttered by this idiot!
Seeing that Xie Yi had been completely irritated by the person sitting next to him, a pleasant smile suddenly appeared on his face, Shi Shiran sat down, and looked at Xie Yi with a gloomy expression with satisfaction.This person is Xiao Yuandong, no, it should be Xiao Yuandong, a man from Sanyuan County, governor of Huainan, general of Guangwu.

"Have you forgotten, I am now also under the supervision of the governor!"

After a while, Xie Yi regained his composure, and then said with a sneer.

"Supervisor? Yes."

Xiao Yuandong laughed inexplicably after hearing the words, and then sighed again: "I have already said, you and I have a deep old relationship, why bother to judge the status by professional work and get hurt. Just call me Sanyuan, Sanyuan."

After Xie Yi heard the words, he really wished he could slap him backhand. He knew that this idiot had swaggered all the way from the lower reaches of the Yellow River because of his title, but he wanted to give the other party a chance to show off!
If it is said that friends can also be judged by nine grades, there is no doubt that Xiao Yuandong is the lowest grade. This person is very lucky and has won many great achievements.

Although Master Wang has won many battles and all the generals in Huainan have made their own progress, but who can have such good luck that they can be promoted all the way to the second class!
If it's just that, it's fine, each army has its own defense zone, especially as the battle results become more and more brilliant, the distance between the various garrison defense zones has also widened.No matter how keen this guy is to show off, only the surrounding friends will suffer.

But this guy was named by the governor and ordered him to build an army alone, and he was able to walk among the armies to select elite soldiers.This is simply like a tiger entering the mountain, a dragon entering the sea, and Shen Mu entering the pile of fat powder!Although Xie Yi lived far away in Hangu Guguan, in the past few months, Xiao Sanyuan's notoriety could not be stopped from spreading again and again.

In the battle last year, Xie Yi was ordered to rush to aid Nanyang with Shen Yun, and then attacked Yique. Although he had accumulated a lot of merit, but because he did not follow the main force to fight, he naturally lacked the glory of the Central Plains victory, let alone captured Shi Kan alive. This special skill.

So in hindsight, he only got a title as Marquis, and even the current position of supervisor is somewhat reluctant, and a considerable part of the reason is due to his seniority.

He and Xiao Yuandong have lost friends for many years, so naturally they will not be alienated because of this, but the problem is that this disgusting thing is really unbearable, knowing that they are annoying, but they insist on approaching people, and they can't even hide.

"Sanyuan, forgive me for being ignorant, but I would like to ask Yuan Dong where your fiefdom is? Also, do you have any instructions for entering the battle? Do you want to attract people here to help me defeat the enemy? If so, I really want to thank Yuan Dong, Your special achievements and fame moved the north and south in the past year, and I and other old acquaintances are also honored, and I hope to be able to see the heroic appearance of the thief."

It is not without benefits for the bad guest to come late, that is, he will not be unprepared to be shown off, so after a moment of silence, Xie Yi said the retort that he had been thinking about all this time.

When Xiao Yuandong heard this, his face blushed immediately. He had never even seen his hometown, Lanling, so he didn't know what the hell Sanyuan was!At least there is no such Sanyuan County in the areas controlled by Master Wang, including the Jiangdong prefectures. In other words, his so-called Sanyuan County man is just a nice name, and there is no real benefit for an inch of land!

What Xie Yi said about helping the battle and defeating the enemy is even more a joke.Although he has been promoted to the position of mingjue, the old department has already been merged into the garrisons of various departments in Hebei, and he has no soldiers under him. He needs to visit various garrisons to select elite soldiers to form a new army.Because there are not enough soldiers, there is not even a specific defense area stationed, and he is an out-and-out general!

"Xie Er, you idiot. I killed a Hubu guard army in the early years. I wish the whole army could show off for you. Now I have advanced two steps, no, four or five steps! Just to let you idiot know what we were waiting for back then. The bitterness of envy and fretfulness!"

Xiao Yuandong was not lacking in embarrassment when Xie Yi punctured his falsehood, and opened his mouth to bring out Xie Yi's bad deeds in his early years.

After Xie Yi heard the words, he couldn't help but blush. That's why it's said that hurting friends is the most annoying. The kind of sudden mutual harm is simply impossible to defend against.

After a while, he laughed and said: "I feel deeply ashamed, so I tried to persuade you. I can't bear to see you in embarrassment, why are you mentioning those things again! I also know what the governor agreed with you. Later, the army Zhongjing bravely allows you to choose, but right now our army is about to make a big move. You stay here first, and only when our army is completely victorious can we turn around and look after you."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but click his tongue again: "Although your face is disgusting, you are really lucky, and if you stay in our army first, I can benefit a little bit."

Hearing that Xie Yi regarded himself as a mascot of the town army, Xiao Yuandong couldn't bear it even more, and immediately glared and said: "You tell the situation first, and I will share dozens of miscellaneous uses with me later, and I will do it for you. It will also let you see how worthy Xiao Sanyuan's reputation is!"

Although Xie Yi ridiculed Xiao Yuandong's good luck a lot, in fact, military affairs are also inseparable from luck.

As the leader of the Heluo West Front, he himself has endured a lot of pressure, and he has planned for the next military operation for a long time. He is always concerned about gains and losses before the battle, and Xiao Yuandong's arrival has indeed made him feel more at ease.

So he didn't hide anything, and invited the army and others into the account, spread out the map and told about his plan, which can be regarded as another deduction before the battle.

The problem Xie Yi is facing is not complicated. It is just that Hangu’s old pass is no longer enough to rely on. He must either seize a sufficient replacement pass, or launch a strange road to frighten Xiaoxiao in Guanzhong.And the next military action, the target is the previous one.

From Guanzhong to Hulao Pass, the south bank of the Yellow River generally maintains a dangerous river on one side and a high hill on the other, with a long and narrow strip in between. kind of embodiment.

There are many Piyuan in the Yellow River Basin. The previous Taolin is one, and there is Nanyuan further west.The southern plateau is 700 meters above the Yellow River, and the river flows straight through the plateau to the east. On both sides of the plateau, there is a north-south deep ditch blocking the way to the Yellow River. It can be said that it is easy to defend, difficult to attack, and relatively independent. Area.

There is also a pass on this slope, and that is Tongguan.Although Tongguan is far less famous than Hanguguan, Weiwu Cao Cao fought Ma Chao here in the early years.

"Where Tongguan is located, there is a deep river in the north, the majestic Qinling Mountains in the south, Tongshui in the west, a deep ditch as a moat, and the same precipitous ravine in the east..."

Xie Yi beamed and talked about the dangers around Tongguan, obviously he had chosen this place as a replacement for Hangu Pass.

Of course, this is not his original idea. As early as the post-Han period, some people have realized this and put forward many business ideas. However, Wei Wu and Cao Cao soon unified the north, and there was no strong need to manage this place during the Wei and Jin Dynasties.Therefore, many assumptions about Tongguan only exist in imagination, and the strategic value of Tongguan has not been fully explored.

Although Xiao Yuandong was a little out of tune when chatting with Xie Yi, his attitude was still very correct when facing the actual military strategy. Through Xie Yi's description and the map in front of him, he already understood the difference between Tongguan and Hanguguan.Hangu Pass was established on the basis of the Weihan Ancient Road. It can be said that a strong pass can achieve the strategic significance of blocking east and west.

But Tongguan is not the case. Although the surrounding area is extremely dangerous, it also makes a lot of sense because of this, especially the Tongshui and Shengou in the west, because they do not go east to west. In other words, it is not ruled out that there will be multiple places for passage. , Once there is negligence in one place and it is breached, the entire line of defense will collapse.

When Xiao Yuandong pointed out this point, Xie Yi also nodded accordingly: "The terrain of Tongguan is different from that of Hangu Pass, so it is precisely because of this that we can't extravagantly expect overnight success..."

Xie Yi's plan is not small, he intends to completely occupy the Pi Yuan, and then use Wei Shi Tong Pass as the basis, build a city along the west side of the river, and plug all the loopholes.

Tongguan itself is difficult to rely on alone, not to mention the more ancient Three Kingdoms of the Later Han Dynasty. There have been many battles here since Yongjia alone, but the offensive and defensive victories are actually not sure.Especially on the other side there is Puban, a fortified city. Once a strong enemy crosses from the north to the south, it will be even more precarious.

Therefore, Xie Yi's plan is to fully manage the Tongguan defense line, build a series of defenses based on the old Tongguan, and at the same time cooperate with Master Wang's advantages in waterways to develop along the river.

Once it is done, most of Hongnong will be in his arms, and Hedong will be completely opened under Wang Shibing's front, and more importantly, it will form a strong blockade of Guanzhong.If this situation is successful, it will not only benefit the present, but in the future, Wang Shi can even temporarily ignore the threat in Guanzhong, and concentrate his superior forces to carry out a comprehensive encirclement and suppression of Shizhao, Hebei!

"If Tongguan can achieve a little success in its operation and become a strong resistance from east to west, it will be a pioneering move to frame the general trend. Whether it relies on the east to attack the west or seizes the west to plunder the east, it will be very calm, and it will definitely not be a one-time achievement! Although the construction is inevitable. It's a huge waste, but as long as we can occupy the southern plateau, connect the Taolin, and build it, the army of Luoxi can control this Tiger Watch Pass, and no one dares to commit lightly!"

Obviously, Xie Yi's vision for Tongguan is no longer limited to the current war: "At present, there is no lack of panic in Guanzhong, and there are attacks and denunciations against each other. Once the king's master jumps on the plateau, there will be no strong opponents. This is a good opportunity."

　Some book friends in the group posted the topographic map of Tongguan. Hangu Pass is based on the Weihan Ancient Road, and the old and new passes are at both ends, so the terrain is simpler.Tongguan also faced the problem of the decline in the water level of the Yellow River, so after the Tang Dynasty, Tongguan was moved from the top of the plateau to the bank of the Yellow River to block the exposed beach channel between the Yellow River and the plateau.So this Yellow River is too naughty. . .
