The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 218

Zhang Wei was already waiting for him at Yangping Pass.Seeing Su Gu, he was furious at his defeat at first, and then said with concern: "My lord, it is too dangerous for your family to stay in Yangping Pass. It is best to send them back to Nanzheng. If something happens to you, my lord will return." What do you think of the old school who can take care of your wife and children?"

Su Gu said in his heart, his mother suspects me and wants to put my family under house arrest: "Thank you, my lord, for your thoughtfulness, please send someone back to Nanzheng."

Zhang Wei pretended to smile and said: "My lord will definitely treat them kindly." Su Gu was so angry that he almost vomited blood.The whole face was a little blood red.

Zhang Wei may be the most capable and knowledgeable general in Hanzhong.He disagreed with the house arrest of Su Gu's family members.But the elder brother Zhang Lu insisted on his own opinion, so he had no choice but to obey.When withdrawing from Jiameng Pass, Zhang Lu discussed surrender with him.Zhang Wei stood up against the crime, saying that he would rather die in battle than bend his knees.Zhang Lu was moved.But my heart was still deeply shocked by the scene described by Yang Song.

Zhang Wei didn't take it seriously. Although Yuan Jun was powerful, it would not be easy to conquer the natural danger of Yangping Pass.This pass is definitely not open to one man.It's useless to have too many people. It's impossible to get crowded on this precipice.Zhang Wei acted very calm in front of Zhang Lu, but actually his heart was full of turmoil.He was not afraid of dying in battle, but he wanted to use the smallest price in exchange for the greatest victory.Zhang Wei likes to take risks, his heart is like the steep mountain in Hanzhong, full of irregularities and restlessness.Two mustaches, a pair of small eyes, showing coldness and determination in their piercing eyes.For a person who likes to take risks, the strategy he uses must be a dangerous move——

Zhang Wei looked down on his cowardly elder brother Zhang Lu.Where did all the enterprising spirit of youth go? !Look, what did he equip the soldiers with?Guns and spears made of rotten wood, and rusty broadswords.There are also two pieces of sacks, made of armor.Can such an army fight?After something happened, instead of stabilizing the morale of the army, the first thing that came to mind was surrender.God!In such a situation, it is too difficult to win.Don't you even have confidence in yourself?Zhang Lu said that Yuan Junbing has many generals and many generals, which is true.Zhang Wei admitted that it would be useless if he fought recklessly, but who would be stupid enough to fight recklessly with the tiger and wolf master.We can completely rely on the terrain and play a beautiful game of winning more with less.Not to mention other examples, in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, didn't Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu lose to Shu Emperor Gongsun Shu at Yangping Pass many times?Liu Xiu's chief general, Cen Peng, also died in battle.Doesn't this explain the problem?

Zhang Wei's conclusion is that Yuan Xi, Guo Jia, Wen Chou and Zhang Yun are far behind Cen Peng and Wu Han.If you want to break Yangping Pass, it's hard to reach the sky.He thought well, but he forgot one thing, that Gongsun Shu is not comparable to Zhang Luneng! !

When Zhang Wei arrived, he naturally seized Su Gu's military power, organized a large army overnight, and built five camps along the terrain.These camps are all surrounded by mountains and forests.Standing between the peaks, the soldiers looked down from the top, with a sense of inclination.The two huge wings stretching out from the camp to the left and right of Yangping Pass, blocked by the Trinity Seal, all of Yuan Jun's advance routes.Yuan Bing soldiers need to look up to see.Zhang Wei played Zhang Lu again, asking Yang Ang to be transferred back, leaving Yang Bai alone to deal with Liu Zhang.

In the early morning of the next day, the prototype of the camp was basically complete. Although the facilities were not complete, it was more than enough to resist Yuan Jun's attack from the bottom up, which tended to be inferior.

Yu Jin and Zhang Yun came back the next day to shut down, and the situation was completely different from before.Zhang He was greatly surprised. Su Gu's robbing camp was newly defeated, and he fled in embarrassment.I still have this thought when I go back to the camp.

Yu Jin suddenly pointed his halberd at the top of the wall and said, "Who is that?" Zhang Yun saw a general, majestic, and put his hand on the hilt of his sword, standing on the top of the wall.Tall and imposing, with a dismissive sneer on his face.shook his head.

Ji Yan hurriedly came up from behind: "This is Zhang Lu's brother, Zhang Wei. Is this person difficult to deal with?"

Yu Jin pondered for a while and said, "I'll lead him to the pass for a decisive battle. Ji Qu led [-] soldiers and horses to the flank of the pass, and when he goes out to fight, he will come out and capture him alive."

Yu Jin went to the base of the city to call out, "Is Zhang Lu's brother, General Zhang Wei, on the top of the city?" Zhang Wei saw that it was either Yu Jin or Zhang He, and lowered his head to the river, "Is your surname Zhang or Yu?"

"Under the ban."

Zhang Wei sneered and said, "You can't take this Yangping pass, so you should go back as soon as possible." Yu Jin said with a smile, "I have heard for a long time that the general is very skilled in martial arts. Do you dare to go down to the pass and fight with me?"

Zhang Wei said with a straight face: "Whoever wants to fight alone with you, to tell you the truth, I have no plan to go to war. If you have the ability, you can attack the city. If you can't attack the city, it will take less than two months. You wait until the food is gone, or Get out. It’s better to leave now.” Zhang Wei told Yuan Jun and Hanzhong soldiers what he said.

Yu Jin's heart beat suddenly in his chest, almost breaking through his ribs.It's broken, Zhang Wei can't be fooled.

The current Yangping Pass——Yu Jin looked around and felt unsure. He cupped his hands and said, "Today, I know General Zhang. Let's salute first and then fight. We have already said hello. If General Zhang doesn't surrender tomorrow, Yu will be impolite." Farewell." Yu Jin raised his right hand and made a gesture, and the horns of Yuan Jun's camp immediately sounded.The soldiers with armored sculls and shields in the front row squatted down with a tidal sound like a surging tide.Dozens of rows of crossbowmen in the back bowed their bows and set their arrows, staring intently, ready to go.Immediately, a dense battle cloud formed under the city, making it difficult to breathe.

Zhang Wei was very nervous, his blood rushed to the top of his head, his hair stood on end, and he ordered loudly: "Fight."

The horns sounded again in Yuan Junzhong, the messengers waved the red flags, and the infantry in the rear suddenly stretched fifty paces to the two wings, expanding a human wall alleyway in the middle.Re-form the two squares.

However, under the change of the red flag, the infantry in the front line turned back together, forming a long line of ten people in each row, and ran back neatly along the human wall formed by the infantry in the rear, becoming a rear army, and stopped forming. array.The crossbow arrow machine, the stone machine and the ladder also retreated.

The front and back armies turned upside down, and the front army suddenly sewed left and right, with swords and spears coming out, shouting loudly.Zhang Wei's scalp went numb for a while on the top of the wall.Such momentum is really captivating.

The cavalry on the two wings of Yuan Jun's position suddenly began to retreat, leaving only the infantry and archers in the middle.Zhang Wei asked in surprise: "What's going on?" After the cavalry retreated, the remaining infantry turned around and retreated in a neat pace.

It turned out that Yu Jin had issued an order to retreat.Even retreating can maintain such high morale and such a coherent formation.It can not only effectively defend against sneak attacks, but also turn retreat into an offensive formation at any time.Yuan Jun is indeed the master of tigers and wolves.Zhang Wei felt that he didn't even have a chance to hunt down and kill him.

Yu Jin put up this kind of formation under the pass, on the one hand, he was afraid that Zhang Wei would send troops to chase him down, and on the other hand, he wanted to frighten him.Yu Jin was under Yangping Pass, and after turning around, he knew that he could not break through.I feel decisively that I should withdraw and make a long-term plan.Zhang Yun had the same idea as him. To attack Yangping Pass, there must be a perfect strategy.Otherwise, you will die in vain, and you will not see any results.The two discussed it and decided to stand still and report to the lord.The reply I got was to stand by and put on strict defense.

Zhang Wei came back in time, which was beyond my expectation.Things get complicated.Along the way, Guo Jia and I have also seen many dangerous peaks, high mountains and deep streams, and many mountains and mountains.There is no doubt about the danger reported by Yu Jin and Zhang He.While ordering the two to stand by, they hurried to close them.

The brigade arrived two days later, and solved the threat of the Di people along the way.Send Zhang Nan and Xin Pi [-] soldiers to move the Di people in Wudu and Yinping to the west to Fufeng and Tianshui.So as not to hinder you in the future.

After listening to Zhang Yun's report, Guo Jia and I felt that it was necessary to go to Yangping Pass to see the terrain.Just after noon, I took Zhang He, Wen Chou, Yu Jin, Gao Lan, Zhou Cang, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Yan and others to Yangping Pass.

The canine-tooth-like sharp peaks that lack vegetation and are cracked from top to bottom. When you look up, you can see huge stone walls towering into the clouds, and all you can see are black rocks.The air is icy and permeates the valley.Goshawks and vultures spread their wings and glide, landing on the peak of the mountain, turning into a small black spot.

On the cold and lonely foothills, there are a few abrupt and dense pines and cypresses scattered.They are not afraid of heights and stick their roots in the crevices of dangerous rocks, twisting their bodies like coiling dragon pillars.This adds to the strangeness and lifelessness of Dashan.

Yangping Guan faces steep valleys in the east, peaks and cliffs in the northwest, and there is no edge at all. The valley between the mountains is like a bridge, connecting the peaks on both sides.To the south is the Yangchang Winding Mountain Road, which is more than a few miles away.It is impossible to deploy troops at all.Zhang Wei set up defenses everywhere on the Yangping Mountains on both sides of the pass, building fortresses, and blocking all the passes that could be broken through.

Yu Jin pointed to the continuous ups and downs, steep and steep Yangping Mountain and couldn't help sighing: "It's so steep, if you don't plan, I'm afraid you won't be able to win."

Zhang Xiudao: "Our army is superior in numbers, and this is also a shortcoming. More people eat more, and there is not enough food. Yangping Pass is not easy to attack. It is better to attack the camps on the two wings of Yangping Mountain."

Guo Jia didn't speak.Zhang Xiu said again: "The Prime Minister gave me [-] soldiers. I will try to attack the camp on the left tomorrow. I can't sit still." Zhou Canghan said with a smile: "It's better to attack the north and the south. I will lead the army to attack the right."

Guo Jia remained silent, staring at the mountains and ravines in a daze.

"Let's go back and talk about it." With the reins on my horse, I turned and left.I thought to myself, why is there still no fog in the sky?

When I got back to Daying, I tried to test Guo Jia while there was no one around: "Should I let Zhang Xiu and Zhou Cang attack first?" Guo Jia said: "The only way to do it right now is to go around the Yangping Pass. Junshan, hit from behind to have a chance of winning." I thought to myself, this coincided with Cao Cao's thinking.

"Feng Xiao already has a plan?"

Guo Jiadao: "Let Zhang Xiu and Zhou Cang go to attack the stronghold. They must preserve their strength. They can't force it. They will come back when they are frustrated. Attack two to three times a day for ten days in a row. Let the enemy relax. Then—" He looked at me and smiled. Said: "Then retreat. Lead the main force of the enemy to chase, our army robbed and killed halfway. In addition, Zhang Yanshuai sent the first army to bypass Yangping and go to Dingjun Mountain to set up a camp, threatening Yangping and Nanzheng. Zhang Lu will definitely mobilize his troops. .Our army has a chance."

Guo Jia's strategy is similar to Cao Cao's.It's just more thoughtful and complete than Cao Cao thought.But now is not the time.I nodded: "I'm waiting—" Guo Jia said, "What are you waiting for?"

"Wait until our army runs out of food?"

Standing up happily, Guo Jia said: "That's good, Zhang Wei is more convinced and came to catch up." This wait is 30 days.Mid-September, late autumn, dew cold.

Frost covered the city, and the cold wind whizzed through the swarms of bees.Everything is withered and life is exhausted.The fog at night was getting thicker and thicker, and it was so heavy that even the autumn wind couldn't hold it back.

All the generals lost their patience, and there was an endless stream of people asking for a fight.

"It's time." I called a meeting of the generals.Guo Jia was a little bit impatient; "My lord, what do you plan to do?" I smiled and said, "Just do as you said, and lure the enemy to attack." Guo Jia said: "I have seen the sky, there should be heavy fog tomorrow. It’s inconvenient to march.” I laughed and said, “It’s just this heavy fog. We can change into Hanzhong soldiers’ clothes—” Guo Jia suddenly said, “It’s wonderful.”

I will tell the generals about the strategy of pretending to retreat.Guo Jia ordered Tian Yin, Su Bo, and Cai Yang to ambush 1 horses in the Jiming Valley twenty miles ahead. "When our army retreats, the enemy soldiers will come to pursue them. The road in Jiming Valley is narrow, and it is impossible to move forward in the thick fog. The enemy soldiers must camp there. The three of you take advantage of the situation and fight out, and they must be wiped out."

Zhang Yan, Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, and Cheng Yin were also asked to lead an army of [-] soldiers, wearing Hanzhong soldiers' clothes and flying Zhang Lu's flag.Taking advantage of the thick fog, they took a detour to attack the camp guarded by Yang Ang on the right.I remember that it was said in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that the last bad thing is this Yang Ang.If you don't look for him, look for someone.

After the distribution was completed, the fog gradually faded the next day.Yuan Jun stopped attacking the city.In the afternoon, the horn was deliberately raised, clamoring to pull out the camp and withdraw the troops.They all said that the food was exhausted and they had to leave.There have been secret works in the army for a long time, and they have been reported to the city.Yang Ang's camp is the closest to Yuan Bing.Seeing Yuan Bing retreating hastily, he thought it was a good opportunity to make meritorious service.Then he rectified the soldiers and horses, observed in the stronghold, waited for the opportunity, and went to hunt and kill.Zhang Yan, Liao Hua and others had led an army to lurk in the gully, waiting for the fog to thicken at night, and went around to attack the village on the right.

At dusk, the fog was getting thicker, Yang Ang saw that the main force of Yuan's soldiers had already withdrawn, and the rear was full of weapons and food, and he became greedy.Gathered Wuzhai soldiers and horses to catch up.want to rob.
