I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 267
The night is deep, the sky is full of stars, reflecting the dark sky, and the whistling of apes occasionally comes from the mountain stream.Jianmenguan lies peacefully on the mountainside, like a sleeping giant.At the same time, a carrier pigeon quietly flew up in the night sky, and was soon swallowed up by the night without a trace.

Ma Miao and Gao Pei didn't know each other very well at first, and they didn't communicate much, and Ma Miao felt guilty and didn't intend to talk to each other, so naturally they chatted a few words and left the big tent.

After all, they came to deliver food and grass, so Gao Pei didn't want to be too mean, so he arranged Ma Miao and a group of "folk strong" into the camp that night, and planned to send them away the next day.

That night, Gao Pei went to Longlingkou to watch the situation of Li Shimin's camp from a distance after inspecting the various pass. After seeing that the enemy was still standing still and there was nothing abnormal, he returned to the camp.

Li Shimin hadn't seen any action for nearly a month, and Gao Pei gradually let go of his vigilance, and he didn't think about the reason any more. He just focused on guarding his pass and went back to the big tent to rest for a while.

It's just that what he didn't know was that in the dark night, the undercurrent was still surging.

At Yin time, the patrolling soldiers were exhausted, and the other soldiers at Jianmenguan had already fallen asleep. Suddenly, raging fires ignited in many places in the camp. The flames soared into the sky, illuminating half of the sky. Under the cover, three thousand soldiers of the Bingzhou Army disguised as civilian husbands also took action in an organized manner, continuing to create chaos in the barracks while killing Gao Pei's Chinese army.

The soldiers in the Jianmenguan camp were also startled by the sudden fire, and shouted in a panic: "It's flooded, it's flooded, run away..."

"Enemy attack, the enemy is coming, Jianmen Pass has been lost, run away..."

Gao Pei who was resting in the big tent was alarmed by the panic shouts from the big camp. Gao Pei secretly yelled that he was not good, and hurriedly raised his sword and rushed out of the big tent. He saw that the big camp was already in flames, and there were fleeing soldiers everywhere. , In the chaos, there were more than a thousand unknown enemies charging towards him.

"Ma Miao, you traitor, I swear to kill you!" Gao Pei roared angrily.

At this time, Gao Pei came to his senses, Ma Miao surrendered to Li Shimin, the three thousand civilian husbands must have been pretended by the Bingzhou army, and he was really leading the wolf into the house.

"It's hard to guard against family thieves. I didn't expect Ma Miao to rebel. Could it be that Jiangyou has already fallen? Could it be that Li Shimin has found a way to bypass Jianmen Pass?" The door must be closed.

Gao Pei immediately made up his mind to organize more than a thousand soldiers around him to kill the enemy, thinking that it is better to destroy this group of enemies first.

At this time, Cheng Lian, who had already disguised himself as a civilian captain, had already reached Gao Pei's Chinese army camp, and immediately fought fiercely with more than a thousand of Gao Pei's soldiers.

The [-] elites led by Cheng Lian gathered the elites of Li Shimin's army, and their combat power was tyrannical. At this time, when they killed the enemy's central army, it was the time when their momentum was like a rainbow and their combat effectiveness exploded. Therefore, Gao Pei's personal guards were killed without delay He was defeated and retreated, and he had no power to parry at all.

Gao Pei also became ruthless. While gathering the defeated soldiers, he personally supervised the battle, and desperately wanted to destroy this group of enemies.

Just as the two sides were in a fierce battle, suddenly a large group of enemies poured in from the front of Jianmen Pass, and rushed over shouting and killing.

Under Yang Jian's internal and external cooperation, Gao Shun led thousands of elite soldiers to pull out one pass after another, and finally broke through Gao Pei's carefully arranged defense line.

Jianmen Pass was finally captured.

Seeing a wave of reinforcements rushing over, Cheng Lian naturally knew that the overall situation was settled and that the Jianmen Pass had been breached, so he shouted at Gao Pei: "General Gao, Jianmen Pass has been captured by our army. .”

Liu Zhangjun, who was still fighting fiercely just now, heard the sound and looked around, and found that there were also a large number of enemies behind him. Naturally, he knew that Jianmen had been taken, and he lost the courage to fight again, and looked at Gao Pei one after another.

Gao Pei also knew that the situation was over, and he sighed sadly: "Heaven will not help me in Yizhou, my lord, I will repay your kindness in the next life." After that, Gao Pei drew out his sword and prepared to kill himself with the sword.

"Hoo..." A sharp arrow pierced the night sky, and shot Gao Pei's right arm with incomparable precision. After suffering the pain, the sword in his hand also slipped to the ground. Cheng Lian immediately took a stride, flew over and landed on the sword. Gao Pei's neck.

"General Gao is loyal and brave, and the people of the world are amazed. Why don't you keep your useful body, build up your fame, and leave your name in history." Li Shimin put away his long bow and shouted at Gao Pei.

"Alas..." Gao Pei sighed, closed his eyes, and said no more.

Seeing that the main general of his family looked like he was being slaughtered, the other soldiers had already lost the will to fight, and they all knelt down and surrendered, no longer resisting.

So far, after nearly two months of planning, Li Shimin finally won the dangerous pass of Jianmen Pass at a small price, and wiped out nearly [-] main forces in Yizhou. Li Shimin's army can then drive straight in and directly attack the Chengdu Plain.

And thanks to taking Jiangyou first and Ma Miao's surrender, Liu Zhang, who is far away in Chengdu, still doesn't know that Jianmen Pass has been taken by Li Shimin.

………………

Li Shimin's army rested at Jianmenguan for a day, and marched towards Jiangyou the next day. Zhang Liao, who soon divided his troops and took the water, also sent good news. The [-] army successfully captured Langzhong, Deyang and Jiangzhou, and was following the water. Kill towards Wuyang behind Chengdu.

Because Liu Zhang miscalculated the situation and felt that Li Shimin would not divide his troops to take the waterway, he did not send heavy troops to guard Jiangzhou and other important places in advance. As a result, Zhang Liao took advantage of the vacancy and took Jiangzhou without bloodshed. Unimpeded rushed to Chengdu.

Liu Zhang, who received the news at this time, finally couldn't sit still, and hurriedly ordered his top general Zhang Ren to lead [-] main forces to Jiangyang, which is today's Luzhou, to guard the Yangtze River waterway and block Zhang Liao's troops.

In this way, it hit Li Shimin's plan to move the tiger away from the mountain. Only more than 1 troops were left in Chengdu to defend, and the main force was withdrawn, completely giving Li Shimin a chance to take advantage of the vacancy.

Li Shimin immediately seized the opportunity. After leaving Jiangyou, the army was like a broken bamboo.

Because the troops in these places were all taken away, they couldn't defend at all. Li Yan and veteran Yan Yan who defended Mianzhu and Fu counties were captured.

Soon Li Shimin's army surrounded Chengdu, and the people in Chengdu were in panic. Liu Zhang was also like an ant on a hot pot, without a clue, and was in panic all day long.

Finally, after three days of siege, Liu Zhang knew that the situation was over, and under the persuasion of Zhang Song and Wu Yi, Kaesong surrendered. So far, the Battle of Yizhou can be said to have ended with Li Shimin's complete victory.
