Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 227 Planning Yangping Pass

but said
Wei Yan, Wenpin, and Zhuge Liang led [-] Jingzhou troops, secretly left from the Jingzhou camp, and rushed to Yangping Pass by detour. Hanzhong, take the land of Hanzhong.

Along the way, he rushed at full speed without stopping.

When Zhao Yun led an army of [-] to take Jiameng Pass, they also rushed to Yangping Pass and hid in a dense forest to rest.

Along the way, the soldiers rushed at full speed without stopping, and the soldiers were already exhausted. In this state, they could not attack the city, so they could only stop and rest, so that the soldiers could recharge their batteries and discuss how to attack Yangping Pass. matters.

in the jungle.

Countless Jingzhou troops, hidden in the dense forest, sat together in twos and threes, took out the dry food that had been prepared a long time ago from their arms, and slowly began to eat.

Although it is hidden in the dense forest, there is still a danger of being discovered. Therefore, Wei Yan has long sent a team of elite scouts to guard two miles away, so that Yangping Pass will basically not know that they are leading the army. The news is conducive to the raid.

What's more, the terrain of Yangping Pass is high in mountains and dense forests, making it easier to hide and march without being discovered.

Zhuge Liang, Wei Yan, and Wenpin also sat together, with a map in the middle.

"There are [-] defenders in Yangping Pass, led by Yang Ang and Yang Ren. However, the defense is not very strict. It can be said that it is sloppy. Basically, there are only [-] soldiers guarding the city wall, and the rest of the soldiers stay in the city. In the big camp, but even so, it is not easy to take Yangping Pass quickly, what suggestions do you have?" Wei Yan asked.

This information is also the news from the probe sent out early in the morning to inquire about Yangping Pass.

Wenpin and Zhuge Liang also frowned and looked at the map. Although the enemy had only [-] soldiers and horses, they had [-] soldiers and horses, but they didn't have any advantage. They were still at a disadvantage. After all, the enemy occupied Yangping Pass. Can lean on the walls.

soon
Zhuge Liang's eyes shone with wisdom, he shook his feather fan, and said, "We can carry out a night attack and make a quick decision!"

"Night raid?"

Wei Yan and Wenpin didn't understand. Even if they attacked Yangping Pass at night, they didn't have an advantage. It would be very difficult to capture Yangping Pass, with more defeats and fewer victories.

"We also have an advantage, that is, the defenders of Yangping Pass don't know that we are leading the army, so they don't have any defenses; the mountains near Yangping Pass are dangerous, with dense forests, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Their advantages, but they can also be used by us!"

Zhuge Liang pointed on the map with his feather fan, and said: "We just need to rush here at night, and when the gate of Yangping Pass is opened, we can break through Yangping Pass in one fell swoop. As long as we enter the pass, even if Yang Ang and Yang Ren organize The [-] soldiers and horses in Guanzhong can't stop our army!"

"Open the city gate? How to open it?"

Wei Yan and Wenpin looked even more puzzled. They didn't understand what Zhuge Liang was talking about at all. A strategy is a good strategy. The place Zhuge Liang pointed with his feather fan was only one mile away from Yangping Pass. Once the city gate is opened, it is indeed Can quickly attack the city.

And in that place, marching at night is indeed impossible to be discovered, because it is surrounded by dense forests, which can hide from the eyes of the defenders on the city wall, but the prerequisite for everything is to be able to open the city gate.

If the city gate is not opened, it will have no effect.

"Send people to sneak into the city. Now the enemy army does not know that our army is coming, and the defenders on the city wall are only one thousand, and they will relax at night. It is a good time to carry out a surprise attack. Take the city gate directly. Once the city gate is opened, The situation is irreversible!"

Zhuge Liang stopped here, shook his feather fan, looked at Wei Yan and Wenpin, and said with a smile: "I just don't know the two generals, who dares to sneak into the city and carry out the matter of seizing the city gate!"

"I would like to go!"

"I would like to go!"

Wei Yan and Wenpin both spoke at the same time, obviously they also understood what Zhuge Liang was planning.

"Kong Ming, in terms of force, I am superior. I only need [-] elite soldiers, and I am enough to capture the city gate and open the city gate to welcome the army to enter!" Wei Yan said.

"Kong Ming, I only need a hundred elite soldiers!" Wen Pin said not to be outdone.

The two looked at each other, their eyes sparkling with fire.

"Since Zhongye has such confidence, why don't you and I compete, and whoever wins will go, how about it?" Wei Yan said.

"That's exactly what I mean!" Wenpin was not afraid.

The two wanted to stand up and go to the side to compete and compete.

"You two generals don't need to be like this!" Zhuge Liang said with a smile, shaking his feather fan.

Wei Yan and Wenpin also looked at Zhuge Liang, their eyes gleaming brightly, they both wanted to play in person for this task.

Zhuge Liang ignored the eyes of the two, smiled, and said: "Since the two generals have this intention, in order to be safe, the two generals will lead two hundred elite soldiers into the city to carry out this matter, and the army will be handed over to me." Command, how?"

In his heart, he originally wanted the two of them to sneak into the city together, but he just got excited just now. After all, such a plan is quite risky, and he can rest assured that Wei Yan and Wenpin go together.

"So, follow what Kongming said!"

Wei Yan and Wenpin looked at each other, and they both agreed. It was difficult to get results after arguing, and Zhuge Liang's suggestion could also solve the problem very well.

"Since this is the case, the two generals will select two hundred elite soldiers from the army and sneak into Yangping Pass in batches. At the third watch tonight, they will carry out the matter of seizing the city gate. When seizing the city gate, they will issue a signal, I will lead the army to rush there, and when the city gate is opened, I will be able to march into the city!"

Zhuge Liang paused, and continued: "Now Yangping Pass is still the same as usual, allowing people to enter the city. As long as the two generals can sneak into the city, victory or defeat will be settled at one stroke, and the rest will be left to the two generals!"

After finishing speaking, Zhuge Liang also stood up and bowed to the two of them. After all, it was a matter of whether they could win Yangping Pass quickly and with the least loss.

Wei Yan and Wenpin also stood up, cupped their hands, and said in unison: "If you can't capture the city gate and let the army enter the city, I'll see you later!"

After speaking, he turned his head and left.

Wei Yan and Wenpin also selected [-] elite soldiers from the [-] Jingzhou army, got more than ten carts of supplies, pretended to be businessmen, left the dense forest, and headed for Yangping Pass. Yangping Pass.

After all, Yangpingguan will close the city gate at dusk, and if you want to sneak in again, you can only wait until the next day, and to enter the city, you have to observe the situation around the city gate in order to seize the city gate.

Therefore, there was no stopover. After selecting the soldiers, they left directly.

Wait until Wei Yan and Wenpin lead two hundred elite soldiers to leave.

Zhuge Liang didn't lead the army to leave immediately, he needed to wait until the night fell, so that he could better hide the army and rush to the set position.
