The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1009

Xie Xi said slowly: "After Liu Yin's victory in Shangdang this time, he will definitely send troops to Jizhou again. The last time Shu people entered Jizhou, they went through Weize Pass and Jingxingkou. After capturing Shangdang this time, it is very likely that they will go to Jizhou again." There may be another way. Your Majesty can send Deputy Governor Ma to continue to attack Anping, Zhongshan and other places, and empty out the soldiers and horses in Yecheng. In this way, Liu Yin thinks that Yecheng is empty, and he will definitely send troops from Shangdang to take Yecheng directly. The king only needs to set up an ambush on the Yangchang Slope Road, why worry about the Shu army not breaking through?"

The Yangchang Slope Road is part of the Baijing Road, one of the Eight Taihang Trails. The Baijing Trail starts from Gongxian County, Hanoi in the east, goes westward from the Niqi River and the Jiaogou River Valley, connects the Yangchang Slope Road in the Taihang Grand Canyon, and reaches the city of Huguan. It is the throat of the Jin Dynasty from the southeast, and it has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.The road runs through the steep mountains and cliffs, twists and turns, twists and turns, like sheep intestines, so it is named Yangchang Slope Road.

The danger of the Yangchang Slope Road is self-evident. The wide part of the road can pass cars and horses, and the narrow part of the road can only accommodate one person and one rider. At present, Cao Cao is calming the high-ranking officials, and he is walking on the Yangchang Slope Road. The road is difficult and dangerous. He wrote the famous "Bitter and Cold Journey" with emotion, in which there is a sentence of "Yangchangban", the wheels are destroyed, and the danger of single-way Yangchangban.

Of course Sima Jun knew about the existence of Yangchangban. If he marched from Huguan to Yecheng, Yangchangban would be an important route.Xie Xi offered this plan, which made Sima Jun's heart skip a beat.Under his command, the Jin army has been defeated several times in a row. Even if Sima Jun is Sima Yan's uncle, he can't explain such a bad record. Now Sima Jun urgently needs a big victory to defend himself The position of governor.

The strategy proposed by Jie Xie to lure the enemy deep and set up an ambush is really good. With the dangerous terrain of the sheep's intestines, if it is an ambush battlefield, it is perfect.

At the same time, Sima Jun also took a deep breath. Liu Yin's ambush battle was pretty good. The Jin army has suffered several losses in this regard. If Liu Yin can be ambushed this time, it can also solve the problem. Release the bad breath in Sima Jun's heart.

So Sima Jun thought over and over again and decided to adopt the strategy of solving the system. In order to confuse the Shu army, Sima Jun ordered Ma Long to lead his troops to continue northward and launch a second attack on Anping, Zhongshan and other places. Leaving Yecheng, under the banner of going north, he secretly turned to Yangchangban, and set up an ambush at Mopanyan on the Yangchangban road.

Xie Xi actively asked for a fight, wanting to command the ambush, but Sima Jun did not agree, he decided that this time he would go to Yangchangban in person to witness the moment when he beat Liu Yin.

After the Battle of Anguo, Sima Jun was extremely depressed. In that battle, Sima Jun lost a lot of soldiers and generals. He almost lost his life. As Sima Yi's son, this is simply a great shame. Sima Jun always hoped that There is an opportunity for shame, and now this opportunity is in front of him, how can Sima Jun pretend to be someone else, this time he must come to the battle in person, even if he can't capture Liu Yin alive, he still has to watch Liu Yin be beaten The look of falling flowers and flowing water.

The terrain at Yangchangban is dangerous and the roads are narrow, making it impossible to carry out large-scale battles. Sima Jun only dispatched [-] elite troops, with Xie as the vanguard, to set up an ambush at Yangchangban, and Guo Xu led another [-] troops. Lin Lu was in charge of responding, thinking it was a surefire solution.

Although Sima Jun led only 2 horses, he was the most elite Tiger Guard Army in the Jin Army. Whether it was equipment or combat effectiveness, he was the leader among the Jin Army's armies. Going to Yangchangban to set up an ambush is to use the powerful combat effectiveness of the Tiger Guards to completely wipe out the invading Shu army.

From Yecheng to the west, it is only a distance of more than a hundred miles to reach Yangchangban. On this road, almost all of them are climbing mountains. It became more and more steep, the peaks are connected, the mountains are overlapping, and the eyes are full of green green, with the roughness of the primitive mountains and forests rushing towards the face. If Sima Jun did not come to fight but to travel, it would be fine. The Grand Canyon is a great place to cool off.

No matter how beautiful the scenery is, Sima Jun has no intention of browsing. He only has one thought now, which is to rush to Yangchangban as soon as possible and set up an ambush circle, so that he can safely wait for the arrival of the Shu army. , the first to win Yangchangban, all Sima Jun's hard work was in vain.

The road became more and more difficult and narrow, and large vehicles could not pass through at all. Sima Jun had no choice but to order that all these transportation vehicles be abandoned, and the food and grass on the vehicles were distributed among the battalions and departments, and they marched lightly.

"Your Majesty, there is a narrow road ahead." Xie Xie had been responsible for opening the way ahead, and now that he had returned to his destination, he didn't have to go any further. He ran to Sima Jun's side to lead the way for Sima Jun.

Sima Jun also came here for the first time in his life. Looking at the narrow and steep mountain road ahead, winding like a nine-curved ileum, he couldn't help sighing: "It's really shaped like a sheep's intestine, and it's worthy of the name."

Xie Xie's face was full of color, and he said: "Your Majesty, the last general has experienced this place before, and knows that it is extremely dangerous. He set up an ambush here, and one man guards the gate. Ten thousand men are not allowed to open it. If Liu Yin does not go to the sheep intestines, it is his." Good luck, if he really dares to come, the custody will tell him to go and never return."

Sima Jun nodded, and said: "That's right, set up an ambush here, take advantage of the right time and place, it's really God helping me."

Sima Jun's eyes were full of anticipation. The opportunity he had been longing for for a long time was right in front of him. Now he was eagerly waiting for Liu Yin's appearance. Every moment he felt was a kind of torment...

In front of Liu Yin, there are two roads. One road is the same as before, from Shangdang north to Weizeguan, then from Jingxingkou to Jizhou, and the other road is from Huguan to the southeast. Take the sheep intestines and narrow road, go straight to Yecheng.

Taking the Weizeguan road is a familiar way, not to mention that from Weizeguan to Jingxingkou, it is currently under the strict control of the Shu army, which can be said to be the safest and most stable channel to enter Hebei.

But the situation is different when walking on Yangchang Slope. Liu Yin has never walked this road, and its steepness is far above Weize Pass.However, if they can get out of Yangchangban smoothly and the surprise attack is successful, the Shu army can reach the city of Ye, which will undoubtedly deal a heavy blow to the Jin army.
