The last three kingdoms

Chapter 394: Chen Cang
Chencang is located at the westernmost end of Qinchuan, eight hundred miles away, on the verge of Weishui River, at the confluence of Longshan and Qinling Mountains, connecting Longyou in the west and Hanzhong in the south. The special geographical location makes Chencang so important.It is said that more than 7000 years ago, there were ancestors who thrived here, "ruled by Fuxi, born of Emperor Yan, and capital of Huangdi." It also became the birthplace of Qin State. Starting from Chencang, Qin State grew all the way to the east, and finally annexed the six countries and unified the world.

But it was the famous general Han Xin who made Chencang famous all over the world.When mentioning Han Xin, people can't help but think of an idiom "Ming repairs the plank road and crosses Chen Cang secretly".And this Chencang refers to Chencangguan.

At that time, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu agreed that whoever entered Guanzhong first would be the king of Guanzhong. Although Liu Bang entered Guanzhong first and broke through Xianyang, Xiang Yu who came later did not abide by the original agreement. , Liu Bang was granted the title of King of Han, and the fiefs were in Bashu and Hanzhong.Liu Bang forced the situation, endured it for the time being, went to Hanzhong, and burned down the plank road, showing weakness to Xiang Yu, saying that he no longer had the idea of ​​fighting for the throne.Later, Liu Bang worshiped Han Xin as a general, built plank roads, crossed Chencang secretly, and took Guanzhong in one fell swoop, thus laying the foundation of the Han family for 400 years.

For the Shu people, Chen Cang has a very painful memory. When Zhuge Liang made his second northern expedition to the Central Plains, he followed the old path of Chen Cang. At that time, Wei General Hao Zhao led more than a thousand people to guard Chen Cang. Standing under the city of Chencang, fighting fiercely for more than [-] days, the Shu army suffered heavy casualties, and was forced to retreat after running out of food.Following the loss of Jieting in the first Northern Expedition and returning without success, the second Northern Expedition was also hindered by Chencang and ended without a problem.

The success of the Battle of Chencang is not so much the merits of Hao Zhao, but rather the strength of Chencang. Hao Zhao was able to lead more than a thousand people to fight a defensive battle with the Shu army ten times or twenty times his own. Guaranteed, almost unthinkable.

After that battle, decades have passed, and the defensive value of Chencang has never been ignored by the Wei State. As a first-class important town on the Guanlong defense line, the Wei State has always been stationed heavily and never relaxes.

Last winter, Liu Yin led an army to raid Longxi. In just half a month, the five counties in Longxi changed hands, and Chencang, as the forefront position, stood on the cusp of the storm.

Chen Cang is not only the west entrance of Qinchuan, which is [-] miles away, but also the main throat leading to Hanzhong. This T-junction is the only logistics supply line for the Zhonghui Corps entering Yizhou to fight. Its importance is self-evident.

Sima Wang was ordered to serve as the governor of Yongliang when he was in danger. The first thing he did after flying to Chang'an was to decisively replace Chencang's guard, and sent Yueqi School Captain Wang Hun to guard Chencang by name.

The gains and losses of Chen Cang are related to the overall situation in Guanzhong, and even the overall situation in the world. Sima Wang dare not be careless in the slightest. In the first time, he sent his confidant general Wang Hun to Chencang and led [-] troops to garrison.

Wang Hun was born in Taiyuan, Bingzhou, the son of Sikong Wang Chang. When Sima Wang was the general of Zhengxi and the governor of Yongliang last time, Wang Hun had joined the army of Zhengxi. Yongzhou returned to the court and served as the captain of Yueqi school.

In the Han Dynasty, Yueqi Xiaowei was one of the five schools of the Northern Army, and he was an important general who really controlled military power. However, in the Wei Dynasty, Yueqi Xiaowei had become a vacant position. Wang Hun had a good relationship with Cao Shuang. After Cao Shuang was punished , Wang Hun is tantamount to idle Fu.After Sima Wang became the governor of Yongliang this time, Sima Zhao gave him great power to appoint and remove personnel. The appointment and removal of officials in Yongliang was decided by Sima Wang alone.In view of the importance of Chen Cang, Sima Wang thought over and over again, and decided to recruit Wang Hun, who was idle in the court, to serve as the guard of Chen Cang to resist Liu Yin's attack.

After Cao Shuang's death, Wang Hun once thought that his political life was over, so he couldn't help becoming disheartened. This time Meng Sima Wang kissed him and went to Guanlong to take up an important position again, which made Wang Hun very excited. The old boss was even more grateful.

At the same time, he was more aware of the weight on his shoulders, but the greater the pressure, the stronger the motivation. Wang Hun almost braved the wind and snow, and rushed all the way to Chen Cang to take up his post. When Sima Wang arrived in Chang'an, Wang Hun He even reached Chen Cang, which is farther than Chang'an, one step ahead.

After arriving at Chencang, Wang Hun did not relax even for a moment, and he did not become paralyzed and relax Chencang's defense just because the road was blocked by heavy snow.He personally commanded the soldiers and civilians in Chencang to rush to repair and build Chencangguan as solid as gold.

Chen Cang has been repaired by successive guards, and the defense capability of the entire city has been greatly improved. The inner and outer walls are extremely strong. Wang Hun is very confident that he will win the battle of Chen Cang.Hao Zhao, the former guard of Chencang, was from Taiyuan. Wang Hun was overwhelmed by the illustrious military exploits this fellow made in Chencang. It became the burial place of Shu people.

However, the whole winter was quite peaceful, and Wang Hun didn't even see half of the Shu army. This made Wang Hun, who had a strong desire for war, quite depressed, but he still fulfilled his duties as a general.

When spring came, the army of Wei State in the whole Guanzhong also took action, and Wang Hun's mind became active. He took the initiative to ask Sima Wang to fight, and was willing to lead Chen Cang's soldiers to attack Jieting.

Of course, Sima Wang couldn't agree. His 3000-strong army marched west, and there was no shortage of Wang Hun's [-] troops. What's more, he sent Wang Hun to guard Chencang. The purpose was very clear, that is, to guard Chencang.Sima Wang ordered Wang Hun to stick to Chen Cang and not to leave his post without authorization.

This made Wang Hun extremely depressed. In his opinion, Sima Wang's [-] troops would sweep across Longyou, but he could only stay in Chencang City, waiting for the enemy who would appear at an unknown time.In his opinion, maybe there will be no more chances in this life.

But the development of the facts is often beyond people's expectations. Wang Hun never imagined that Sima Wang's army would suffer a defeat in Jieting, and the defeat was terrible. The cavalry in the entire vanguard battalion was almost wiped out. The disastrous defeat of Wei State rarely happened after the establishment of Wei State.

After Simawang's defeat, the Shu army stationed on the front line of Longshan, eyeing it like a tiger, it seems that the battle of Chen Cang is inevitable.

However, Wang Hun was not afraid, on the contrary, his blood was surging, because he had been looking forward to this moment for a long, long time.

　It got stuck, and the girl got stuck again, and it took a long time to upload it.
