Three Kingdoms: Jiuyuan Tiger

Chapter 607 Jianmen is dangerous, it is difficult to advance

Youzhou, Ji County.

Looking at the several "Topographic Maps of Western Shu" on the table and the information sent by Jin Yiwei, Lu Bu shook his head with a smile. Now Cao Cao and Liu Bei could not get the "Topographic Map of Western Shu".

It was the brothers from the Yizhou Jinyiwei Branch who sneaked into Zhang Song's home a few days ago.

As for why the map was stolen, it was because Lu Bu felt that this map would definitely come in handy in the future, so he sent Jin Yiwei's brothers to steal the "Topographic Map of Western Shu".

Not only that, Lu Bu didn't even leave the rubbings of "Topographic Map of Western Shu" to Zhang Song, and came directly to a nest.

Of course, there are no rubbings in this era. They are said to be rubbings, but they are actually imitations drawn by Zhang Song according to the "Topographic Map of Western Shu".

"The guard of Jiameng Pass, Wang Pingxian, surrendered and Cao Jun entered Jiameng Pass. Cao Cao's actions are really not slow." After reading the information, Lu Bu thought to himself.

"Now Cao Wenzhao is serving as the guard of Yinping, and Xia Luqi is serving as the guard of Jiange. Both are good places. Do you want to sneak into Yinping like Deng Ai?" The corners of Lu Bu's mouth rose slightly, as if thinking of something interesting .

"Pass down the order, send more people to keep an eye on Cao Cao's movements, and at the same time, send more people into Cao Cao's army to attack us." Lu Bu ordered to Cao Shaoqin who was on the side.

"No!" Cao Shaoqin cupped his hands and left.

……

The gate of Jiange, Jianmen Pass, has always been a battleground for military strategists. It is the barrier of northern Shu and the throat of the two rivers.

The steep cliffs on both sides of Jianmen Pass go straight into the sky, and the peaks lean against the sky like swords;

The poet Li Bai said in "The Road to Shu is Difficult" that "the Jiange is towering and Cui Wei, one man guards the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it", in fact, strictly speaking, what is mentioned here is not Jiange, but Yanmen Pass.

Outside Jianmen Pass, the mountains are high into the clouds, the cliffs are steep and there are no birds, and there is no decent road. There is only a stone road that is not wide. Walking is okay, but marching is a bit reluctant.

After Wang Ping Xianguan surrendered, Liu Zhang, who was furious, sent Yan Yan, Zhang Ren and other generals to Jianmenguan to garrison. Now Jianmenguan can be said to have strong troops and sufficient food and grass.

Cao Cao led his troops to attack Jianmen Pass for several days without shaking Jianmen Pass. Naturally, Cao Cao had no good way to deal with Jianmen Pass where even apes were worried.

The soldiers guarding Jianmen Pass did not suffer much loss after several consecutive days of strong attacks, but Cao Cao's soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

And the result of all this is that there are more bloodstains and scratches on the stone walls on both sides of Jianmenguan. Apart from this, Cao Jun's attack has no effect.

Because of Cao Jun's strong attack for days, there were bloodstains all over the sword gate, and the smell of blood filled the world, which could not dissipate for a long time.

The gate of Jianmen Pass is high and narrow. Not to mention that Cao Jun’s original ladder is not long enough, and even the formation of the army cannot be adjusted. It is impossible to fight a battle of numbers. It can be said that all the advantages of Cao Jun are in front of Jianmen Pass. Turned into nothing.

In addition, Zhang Ren and other generals have been prepared for a long time, and there are all kinds of equipment such as rolling logs, stones, etc. Even if Cao Jun's soldiers are not afraid of death, they can't resist the condescending and frantic shooting of Yizhou soldiers.

Many Cao soldiers were shot alive into sieves, or hedgehogs. Cao Cao felt distressed and helpless about this.

In the past few days alone, Cao Jun has killed tens of thousands of soldiers at Jianmen.

Since Cao Cao's uprising, when has he suffered such a big loss?

From the beginning to the end, Cao Cao never thought that there would be such a big loss in attacking Shu.

Before attacking Jianmen Pass, although Zhang Song reminded him many times, Cao Cao didn't take it seriously, and now he has ended up reaping the consequences.

"I have to say that the danger of Jianmen Gate is beyond my imagination. There is no possibility of storming Jianmen Pass. The only way to do it now is to outsmart it." Cao Cao raised his eyebrows in Cao Ying's large tent of the Chinese army.

"Although Yan Yan and Zhang Ren are not famous generals, they are very cautious in using their troops. No matter how provocative our soldiers are, they will not go out of the pass, and they just stick to the Jianmen Pass. This is not a good thing for us. .” Cao Cao added.

"Chengdu has countless food and grass, Yan Yan can afford energy consumption, but we can't afford it!" Looking at the silent crowd of civil and military personnel, Cao Cao suddenly shouted.

Rao Cao Cao shouted loudly, the civil and military personnel in the big tent didn't intend to speak, and didn't even make a sound, the atmosphere in the tent was very depressing.

After several days of strong attack, none of the generals wanted to call for battle anymore. In the past few days, almost all the generals led troops to charge, but let alone killed to the gate, they never arrived even after the gate was closed.

There are also a few unlucky ones who were shot by Liu Ya and were injured, and they still have to drink soup every day.

"What clever plan does Yongnian have?" Cao Cao asked Zhang Song.

"My lord, forgive me, my subordinates are dull and haven't come up with an idea yet." Zhang Song said hastily.

"It's okay, Yongnian thinks about it slowly." For Zhang Song, a person who has made great contributions, Cao Cao naturally couldn't blame him.

"Where's Wen Ruo?" Cao Cao shifted his gaze to Xun Yu.

"My lord, Rongfeng, there are two plans now, one is to find a way to lure Yan Yan or Zhang Ren to lead troops out of the city, so as to take the opportunity to seize Jianmen Pass; the other is to instigate against the guards of Yanmen Pass, and then cooperate internally and externally to conquer Jianmen Pass Close." Xun Yu cupped his hands.

"Which strategy does Wen Ruo think is more secure?" Cao Cao asked.

"The subordinates think that the second strategy is more feasible." Xun Yu replied.

"If that's the case, then I'll have to trouble Yongnian with this matter." Cao Cao stroked his beard habitually, but the beard cut off by Ma Chao hadn't grown yet, so Cao Cao had no choice but to put down his hands that had nowhere to rest.

"Yongnian, among the guards in Jianmen Pass, is there anyone who is close to you or loyal to Liu Zhang?" Cao Cao asked Zhang Song.

"If my lord doesn't mention this matter, my subordinates will almost forget about this person!" Zhang Song patted his head.

"Who is it?" Cao Cao asked hastily.

"This person's name is Xia Luqi, who served as the guard of the Jiange. He is currently stationed at Jianmen Pass. Xia Luqi has only defected to Liu Zhang for less than a year. I will tell you the truth, when he joined Liu Zhang, it was his subordinate. I recommended it for you!" Zhang Song said.

"If that's the case, the correspondence with Xia Luqi will be left to Yongnian!" Cao Cao said happily.

"This matter is left to the subordinates. Xia Luqi is a person who understands the general situation. He can understand the choice between a wise ruler like the lord and a mediocre master like Liu Zhang. But how can I send a letter to Jianmen Pass?" Zhang Song raised his doubts.

"There is no need to think about it forever. I will send someone to deliver the letter to Xia Luqi." Cao Cao said confidently.

"That's the case, my lord, don't worry, my subordinates will definitely persuade Xia Luqi to surrender!" Zhang Song resolutely said.

"Hahaha! Good! If we can win the Jianmen pass, then Liu Zhang will only have one Fushui pass left!" Cao Cao said happily.

Why is Zhang Song so sure that he can persuade Xia Luqi to surrender?This is because Xia Luqi and Cao Wenzhao gave him a lot of money back then, which made Zhang Song preconceived that they had misbehavior, so he could be so confident.
