Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1075 An Envoy Visits
To the north of Chencang, more than a hundred miles away, on the north bank of the Wei River, a military camp stands in it, with towering flags and extraordinary momentum.

The main account of the Chinese army.

A mighty middle-aged man, kneeling on the first seat.

He is the general of Xiliang.

The prefect of Jincheng, with tens of thousands of Jincheng troops in his hands, ranks among the princes of Xiliang, Han Sui and Han Wenyue.

Neither Han Sui nor Ma Teng is directly related to Dong Zhuo.

They are all Xiliang warlords who developed after Dong Zhuo left Xiliang. They have no loyalty to Dong Zhuo, but because of the current situation, they were forced to become part of the Xiliang army.

Coupled with Dong Zhuo's strength, their troops could not be stopped at all, so they reluctantly listened to Dong Zhuo's orders.

But this time, Han Sui really wanted to keep the Western Front.

Because Dong Zhuo promised him that as long as he could stabilize the battlefield on the western front, he would be the shepherd of Liangzhou. From now on, Liangzhou would be under his control. Han Sui might not listen to this kind of promise.

But Ma Teng's defeat made him see the hope of monopolizing Liangzhou. If Dong Zhuo really supported him, he might not be able to become the new resident of Liangzhou, so his burning mood made him move quickly.

From Luoyang to the south, within a few days, they have already rushed to the battlefield on the western front.

Entering the battlefield, Han Sui's first task was to recapture Chencang.

Chen Cang is the lifeblood of Chang'an.

Chen Cang can't get it back. For Chang'an, it is an incalculable hidden danger. It is impossible to say when this hidden danger will explode, and the entire Western Front battlefield will collapse. For this reason, he ordered the number one general under his command to lead [-] troops. Attack Chencang.

Unfortunately, it backfired.

In this battle, the Jincheng Army failed to do so.

"My lord, Yan Xing, the last general, was incompetent and failed to conquer Chencang!" A young general bowed his head down, pleading guilty every word.

"It's okay!"

Han Sui waved his hand and made him stand up.

Then asked: "Why did it fail? Could it be that Chen Cang's troops are strong?"

"My lord, in fact, Chencang's troops are not many, only more than three thousand, but their combat effectiveness is very strong, and they are all heavy armored soldiers, designed with long-range bows and arrows, which did not cause any casualties to them. Forcibly attacking, we paid nearly four hundred The rest of the casualties are not enough to set up the ladder!"

Yan Xing is the number one general in the Jincheng Army. He is skilled in martial arts and fierce in combat. He is a well-known general in Xiliang.

Back then, Ma Chao and Pang De, the two young heroes of the Ma family, joined forces to compete with them, and they were almost defeated by him. It is conceivable that Yan Xing's powerful martial arts is not the most important thing.

Every general has his own fighting style.

Yan Xing's combat style is fierce.

On the battlefield, charging is unparalleled.

Even he was frustrated under Chencang City. As the lord, Han Sui can already imagine how solid the defense is.

"With more than three thousand soldiers and horses, you can't even occupy the city, and you can't even set up the ladder?" Han Sui seemed even more surprised.

He knew Yan Xing very well.

Even if he suffered greater battle damage, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would fight to the end, unless he could not see hope, he would withdraw.

"My lord, I feel that even if I fight eight thousand sons, I won't be able to take down Chen Cang. Chen Cang City has a high wall and thick walls, and there is Dashan Pass behind it. Now Dashan Pass and Chen Cang are in the hands of the enemy. We have no Get in through the gap!"

Yan Xingdao: "Forcibly attacking may break the city, but at least half of our army will be lost. I don't think it's worthwhile!"

Not all fierce generals on the battlefield are reckless.

Every general has a general's prediction about the battlefield.

Yan Xing thought for a while, and said to Han Sui: "My lord, if possible, I think that attacking Chencang is not good for us, so we can give up Chencang. We Xiliang soldiers actually don't have enough experience and equipment to attack the city. Difficult!"

This sentence is quite true.

Liangzhou is in the wilderness, with yellow sand to the sky, and even some cities are mostly adobe cities. There are few cities with high walls and thick walls, and more of them are fighting in the wild. The two sides fight in the mountains, plains and other places.

Therefore, most of the soldiers and horses from Xiliang are not good at attacking the city.

"But Chencang is very important to us!" Han Sui sighed, and said, "Grand Master Dong will take the initiative to put us back on the western front, just for the safety of Chang'an. His foundation is in Chang'an. If there is a mistake in Chang'an, I'm afraid He'll go crazy, and maybe we'll drive right there!"

For Han Sui, Dong Zhuo was a figure whom he was somewhat jealous of, but also somewhat respectful and more of awe.

Dong Zhuo was able to escape from Xiliang, and became an invincible grand master in the court today. He is admired by countless warlords from Xiliang, but Xiliang people lack the discipline of morality and etiquette. They are wild and wild, and they were killed by the law of the jungle. For people, admiration is one thing, and it is instinct to kill and replace it.

But Dong Zhuo's cruelty is also famous.

Therefore, for most people, for Dong Zhuo, they are both respectful and fearful. There is no benefit.

"Then we can only attack by force!"

"storm?"

Han Sui stood up, paced back and forth, thought and thought, and finally said in a low voice, "If you attack Chen Cang by force, how many troops do you need?"

"More than [-], there is hope!"

Yan Xingdao.

"Report!" At this moment, the voice of a scout came from outside.

"Come in!"

"Report to my lord, the traces of the enemy troops found on Longguan Road are marching into the pass, and troops have been sent into Chencang!" said the scout.

"Longguan Road?"

Han Sui became frightened: "Has the Mu army entered the customs?"

"Entry at this time?"

Yan Xing was also taken aback.

"Damn!"

Han Sui paced back and forth, thinking that the Mu army would not dare to enter the customs easily, so he took over the task of guarding the western front. Now that the Mu army entered the customs brazenly, it made him feel cramped.

"Now Chen Cang can't manage it!" Han Sui said.

"Then I will immediately withdraw Chen Cang's soldiers and horses!"

"Um"

Han Sui nodded, the defense on the western front, the security of Chang'an, are not as important as his own soldiers and horses. In troubled times, having soldiers is king, and he can't exchange his own soldiers and horses for the gains and losses of a city or a place.

"Come on!"

"exist!"

"Send the news of Mu Jun's entry to the imperial court immediately!"

"Yes!"

"In addition, pass on our military order to assemble all the ministries, and put our troops as much as possible on the northern line of the Weishui River. Along Chang'an, it's okay to pile up one after another, and go deeper. No matter how fierce the Mu army is, the troops must be concentrated!"

"promise!"

The messenger quickly went down to deliver the order.

....................................

a few days later.

Under the escort of his own soldiers, Mu Jing entered Chencang.

It's like going from Hanzhong, along Wudu, entering Liangzhou, making a small circle, and then returning here, going south from Chencang Road to Hanzhong, that's a very simple matter.

"The last general, Chen Sheng, apologize to the lord!"

Chen Sheng bowed his head and knelt down to plead guilty.

Because he couldn't see Chen Cang's Xiliang Army, it made him very ashamed. You know, he was staring at Xiliang Army, but he was able to let Xiliang Army escape under his nose. It would take a few days before he realized it. up.

Fortunately, in this battle, none of the main force caused heavy casualties. Otherwise, even if Mujing didn't punish him, he would feel guilty and couldn't stay in the Mujun system any longer.

"This is not a crime of war!"

Mu Jing said indifferently: "But as the chief general, I have the intention of neglecting my duty. Now, as the Marquis of Ming Dynasty, I will charge you with [-] military battles and withhold your salary for three months. Do you have any objections?"

"The subordinate is guilty!"

"Get up!"

"promise!"

"Although you didn't do this well, it's a blessing if you lose your horse!" Mu Jing still thinks highly of Chen Sheng, Captain Modao, and he was a little worried when he formed the Modao Battalion and promoted him as a general. , but it was later proved that Chen Sheng was worthy of his trust. He patted Chen Sheng on the shoulder: "Although you can't see the Xiliang Army, let the main battlefield be rude, and failed to wipe out Ma Teng's soldiers, but you calmed down for us." Chen Cang can be regarded as making amends, but in the future, you need to be more vigilant, if someone else does this, it is not a crime, but if you are the general, not being able to understand the enemy's intentions is a crime!"

"Yes!"

Chen Sheng nodded.

"What's the current situation in Chencang?" Mu Jing asked Chen Sheng in a low voice after entering the city and entering the main hall.

"A few days ago, the Xiliang army launched an attack on Chencang. The attack was fierce, but it didn't last long. After two or three days, the hundreds of corpses left behind were withdrawn. I put the scouts on the ground. Thirty miles away, there is no trace!"

Chen Shengdao: "The fighters of Modao Battalion are good at fighting, but not agile enough. I don't dare to send scouts too far, for fear that I won't be able to take them back. I haven't figured out the specific situation of the Xiliang Army yet!"

After hearing this, Mu Jing nodded, not feeling guilty. After all, the Modao Battalion did have some gaps in this aspect. The main force of the Modao Battalion was to fight head-on on the battlefield, so defense and offense were no problem.

But the sneak attack will be a bit short, and the agility is insufficient.

On the plain battlefield, even if it is the cavalry, they can fight against it. This is the absolute advantage. In order to maintain this advantage of the Modaoying, the others can be weakened appropriately. The soldiers are ordinary people, so it is impossible Everything is covered.

Mu Jing looked at Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao led his troops to enter Chen Cang first. Although he did not enter the city and was stationed on the outskirts, there should be enough time in these few days for him to understand the situation of the surrounding enemy troops.
"My lord, the Xiliang Army currently stationed on this line is undoubtedly Han Sui's Jincheng Army. Its strength is between [-] and [-]. It should be part of the elite and part of the Guanzhong young and strong recruited temporarily!"

Zhang Liao stood up and replied, "Han Sui once thought about attacking Chencang, but he must have been a little vacillating, so he didn't come up directly and put in the main force. When he wanted to increase troops, our troops had already left Longguan. Dao, naturally alarmed him, and he didn't dare to invest more troops in Chencang, so most of the soldiers and horses have already withdrawn, tantamount to giving up retaking Chencang!"

"Currently the main force of the Jincheng Army is on the northern line of the Weishui River, along the route of Chang'an City, laying out layers of camps and extending the strategic deployment in depth. The purpose is not to defeat us, but to delay us!"

In front of Mujing, Zhang Liao spread out a newly drawn troop distribution map, pointed to the enemy camp on it, and analyzed it: "Although we are fierce, we can break a single net, and break overlapping nets." , then you will definitely fall into a bitter battle!"

"Good plan!"

Mu Jing said gloomyly: "Using the depth to hold us back, the terrain is perfectly used, and the layout is sophisticated!"

"Now if we want to go straight to Chang'an, it is basically impossible!"

Zhang Liao said: "Unless we can tear apart their defensive line in a short period of time, this will inevitably consume our troops and increase our casualties. The gain outweighs the loss!"

"Do you still have an idea to attack Chang'an?"

"Detour!"

"How to get around?"

"Two choices!"

Zhang Liao replied: "One is that we go north, support the wind from the right, spare the northern front, join the battle in Guanzhong, attack Hongnong from the abdomen, and deal a fatal blow to the Xiliang army!"

"That's not in line with our strategic deployment!"

Mu Jing frowned.

"Then there is only another way. Send troops from Ziwu Road and Xiegu Road to open a gap, and then we can take this place as soon as lightning is too fast, and we may use this place as a springboard to directly attack Chang'an City!"

Zhang Liao pointed to a place and said in a deep voice.

"Wuzhangyuan?" Mu Jing glanced at Zhang Liao and proposed the location, and said.

"This place is located on the south bank of the Weishui River. The Xiliang army's deployment must be much weaker. As long as they take this place, their deployment on the north bank of the Weishui River will basically come to nothing!"

"The idea is good, the risk is too great!"

Mu Jing shook his head: "If, I said if, this is a road paved for us by the enemy, and we march obediently according to their layout, then our troops will inevitably be ambushed on two roads, and we want to retreat at that time. If we all step back, if we still want to seize Wuzhangyuan by then, it will be even more wishful thinking!"

"Will anyone be so accurate?"

Huang Shao frowned.

"On the battlefield, it is better to believe in existence than in nothing!" Mu Jing said: "Now we have the upper hand, we are advancing step by step, and we are more stable. If we encounter an ambush, the situation will definitely turn around, which is not good for us!"

"Then it can only go north?"

"This still needs to be considered!"

Mu Jing shook his head, a little hesitant.

Whether it is going north now, or thinking about going south from Hanzhong, it is not in line with the strategic deployment of the Mu army to enter the pass. The purpose of the Mu army is Chang'an. At this time, the city of Chang'an is seized to force the strategic deployment of the Xiliang army. It exploded.

But if the time is too long, it will not be conducive to the deployment of the Mu army into Guanzhong.

To put it bluntly, if you don't get stuck here, the Mu army may face enemies surrounded on both sides. After all, the Qiang army is already on their backs. They can enter the Jieting and pass the Longguan Road. They may not be able to attack from the back. Mu Jun.

"My lord, there is an envoy visiting!"

Jiang Wan came in a hurry and said in a low voice.

"messenger?"

Mu Jing narrowed his eyes: "Who are you visiting, me?"

Impossible, if his whereabouts are so easy to be determined by others, he is not Minghou, not the overlord of a party.

"On the name post, it is to visit the chief general of Mu Jun!"

"In this case, Wen Yuan, go and meet me!" Mu Jing said, "Look where the envoy is coming. At this time, all those who come to visit my Mu Jun have intentions!"

"promise!"

Zhang Liao took the order, turned around and left.

………………

In Chencang city, the county government, side hall.

A young man, kneeling on the side seat, in an empty hall, sipping tea by himself, but he didn't panic in the slightest, he was very mature, and he was thinking about how to be a good lobbyist.

"A certain Zhang Liao, General of the Third Army of Jingping, Marquis of Ming Dynasty!"

Zhang Liao stepped in, and as soon as he entered, he overwhelmed everyone: "I don't know who to envoy?"
