I Am the Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

It has been an important chokepoint since ancient times, and it has always been a battleground for military strategists.

During the Warring States Period, the ancient battlefield between Wei and Qin was here.

About [-] miles north of Fenglingdu is the ferry Pubanjin (later Yongji)

After Liu Zhe captured Hedong, in order not to irritate Cao Cao and keep Cao Cao nervous all day, he did not deploy heavy troops in Fenglingdu, but left a group of troops to guard against Cao Cao's sneak attack across the river.

After Cao Cao captured Hongnong County, he did not defend Fenglingdu. Now Fenglingdu has begun to decline. Most of the people who crossed the river Congpu Banjin crossed the river and entered Yongzhou.

However, when Liu Zhe led an army of [-] troops to set off, the number of Cao troops guarding Fenglingdu on the south bank of the Yellow River began to increase. About five miles away from Fenglingdu, there was a Xiongguan Pass, and Tongguan was a hundred and four miles to the east, and there was another one. Xiongguan, Hanguguan

Between Tong Pass and Hangu Pass, there is a narrow passage that winds between the mountains and is as deep as a letter, so it is called Hangu.The east end of Hangu is called Hangu Pass, and the west end is Tong Pass

Hangu Pass was built by the Qin army in Thailand during the Warring States Period. Relying on the dangerous Hangu Pass, it successfully resisted the attack of the Allied Forces of the Six Nations, causing them to be defeated and returned.

At the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, decided to establish his capital in Chang'an in Guanzhong because of the danger of Hangu Pass.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty established Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu as the capital of Luoyang, and the status of Hangu Pass further increased. It and Sishui Pass protected the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

After Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, he began to strengthen Tongguan, hoping that the two strong gates of Gantongguan Hanguguan would resist the Kwantung coalition and Liu Zhe.Therefore, the status of Tongguan is becoming more and more important.

After Zhuo's death, Chang'an fell into the hands of Cao Cao, because Hedong belonged to Wang Liu Zhe. In order to prevent Liu Zhe from crossing the river from Fengling, Cao Cao said that Tongguan would be strengthened one step further, so that Tongguan surpassed Hangu for the first time, and Hangu Pass began to be gradually abandoned.

Tongguan replaced Hanguguan as the new gate of Yongzhou. Once Liu Zhe crossed the river from Fengling and captured Tongguan, then the army could cross the river from Fengling and drive straight in to reach Chang'an.

If Tongguan is occupied by Cao Cao's army, Cao Cao's army will be blocked from Yongzhou, unless they capture Tongguan again, or take a detour to Wuguan in the west, or grow wings and fly over Tongguan and enter Yongzhou, otherwise, Cao Cao's army will not be able to enter Yongzhou at all, and support will be limited. can't talk

After receiving the news from Cao Cao, Xu Rong, the general of Tongguan, did not dare to delay, and immediately dispatched troops to station at Fenglingdu to prevent the troops from the other side from crossing the river to attack.

As an old general of Dong Zhuo, Xu Rong joined Long Cao and was treated with courtesy by Cao Cao, cultivating his loyalty to full value.

Xu Rong did not dare to delay Wang Cao Cao's orders, and he faithfully implemented them.After dispatching a group of soldiers and horses, he finally brought people to watch and urge his subordinates to be careful.

"Please don't worry, Prefect."

It was Xu Rong's lieutenant who was sent by Xu Rong to defend the Fenglingdu Ferry, which shows that Xu Rong was interested in Fenglingdu.

The lieutenant's face was full of confidence. He patted his chest and said to Xu Rong: "Prefect, there are [-] soldiers and horses here, and the fortifications are all ready. All the boats on the river have been confiscated and guarded. Unless Liu Zhe's servant has wings, he is Can't fly over the river

Xu Rong nodded. He knew what the lieutenant said. Whether it was fortifications or other aspects, he was responsible for many things. Xu Rong still had confidence in his own arrangements.

In fact, Xu Rong didn't care about Liu Zhe very much, and he was not afraid of crossing the river. After all, there was such a big strip of yellow, and his defense was perfect. If Liu Zhe dared to cross the river, he would definitely lose a lot of money. He believed that Liu Zhe was not like that. people

Xu Rong looked at the arrangement on his side and showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth. As a former general of Dong Zhuo, Xu Rong had fought with the affiliated army, and his record was still very good. At least Cao Cao and Sun Jian were beaten by him.

His first master was Zhuo. Dong Zhuo was afraid of Liu Zheshi and never dared to confront Liu Zhe head-on, which made Xu Rong disdain at the time. He didn't think Liu Zhe had anything to be afraid of. Everyone was human, so he didn't believe in Liu Zhe. Zhe can fly to the sky

Now his new protagonist is Cao Cao. Cao Cao is not as afraid of Liu Zhe as Dong Zhuo, but at least he is afraid.It makes Xu Rong unhappy, why are the two bosses he follows like this?

He is now loyal to Cao Cao, and of course Cao Cao's golden orders are faithfully executed, but he still doesn't care about Cao Cao's fearful behavior towards Liu Zhe. Therefore, he even has a future in his heart, hoping that Liu Zhe will cross the river, and then he will teach him a lesson. Liu Zhe, let Cao Cao see, Liu Zhe is not a terrible guy

No one knew what Xu Rong was thinking, the lieutenant was still talking in his ear, "Prefect, I don't believe Liu Zhe would dare to cross the river unless he wanted to die.

The lieutenant's tone is full of self-confidence. He followed Xu Rong to carry 13 battles in many battles, winning more, losing less and less arrogance will naturally rise. "Don't be careless"

Xu Rong agreed with the lieutenant's remarks in his heart, and he also thought so, but he still had to say it on the surface. He was extremely cunning towards the lieutenant general, Liu Zhe, and he must not be careless.

Don't worry, your subordinates know what to do. "The lieutenant nodded, reassuring Xu Rong.

Xu Rong didn't say much, he still believed in his lieutenant, he glanced at the ships collected in the distance, and thought about it, Dao General burned all those ships, just in case."

Yes, in this case, Liu Zhe is even less likely to have a chance.

The deputy was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, patted Xu Rong's ass and said: "Da Shou has no plans, if Liu Zhe wants to cross the river from here, he will do it in his next life.

This kind of flattery Xu Rong is more useful. After he inspected and prepared to return to Tongguan, he again instructed the lieutenant: "Once there is a sneak attack, I will immediately send someone for help, no matter how many enemies there are, even if it is a false alarm, I will count on me. know, you know?

Xu Rong decided not to give the enemy a chance to work. Even if Liu Zhe made a sneak attack across the river, Tongguan is not far from here. Once he got news, Xu Rong could bring someone to rescue quickly.

Yes, prefect. "Lieutenant Commander

Xu Rong said: "Defend well, as long as Fenglingdu does not lose, this is the first merit, and I will report it to the lord.

Thanks to the prefect for cultivation. "The lieutenant is overjoyed

Xu Rong took another look at the Yellow River not far away, and then took people away from here, secretly thinking at the same time, Liu Zhe, you better not cross the river from here, otherwise I will let you know how powerful I am.

At the same time, in Hedong County on the north bank of the Yellow River, Liu Zhe appeared with his own people.

After Liu Zhe decided to take people to attack Tongguan himself, he took Dianwei, Zhaoyun, Zhang Liao, and [-] people to set off, and parted ways with the main force at Shouyang Mountain. Guo Jia and Jia Xu took the army to the north of Yangshan Mountain. On the way to Pubanjin, Liu Zhe took the army to Fenglingdu from the south of Shouyang Mountain.

For Wang Wuwan's army, Liu Zhe's plan was to lead a small group of people across the river to capture Fenglingdu, lead Xu Rong out of the city, and bury him halfway.

Fu, and finally capture Tongguan

However, when Liu Zhe arrived at Fenglingdu and saw Wang Jingjing on the river, Liu Zhe knew that crossing the river was not that easy without a boat.

Zhao Yun had already returned from inquiring about the news, and he said to Liu Zhe: "My lord, Xu Rong sent people to take away all the ships.

The ships that had previously fought against Fenglingdu with Shengsuke were deserted to the other side. In addition, after Liu Zhe occupied Fenglingdu, he did not intend to stimulate Cao Cao, so he did not build ships at Fenglingdu.

Now there are only a few small boats in the bellflower. The ten soldiers stationed here are crossing the river to inquire about the news. It is impossible and unrealistic to rely on them to cross the river.

What about the fishing boats of the nearby fishermen? "Liu Zhe touched his chin and asked. He didn't expect Xu Rong to be so fast.
