Chapter 0817 The thief(1/2)
In order to attract the attention of the Wei army in Jingyang and Linjing, Guan Ji specially asked people from the engineering battalion to smash the city for several days.
The wall of Wushi City facing Xiaoguan has only been cleared of stones and mud, and there is no time to repair it now.
Therefore, Cao Zhen did not go to Xiaoguan, but went north to reach the Jing River, and then directly followed the Jing River to the southeast. Even if Feng Yong deployed a garrison here, he would have no chance to resist.
In this case, the army of Xiaowei Mansion will be completely blocked in Anding.
Unless Feng Yong can break through Cao Zhen's army before Xian Yufu comes from behind to make his own dumplings.
Otherwise, he could only lead the army southward along the Jingshui River again, then turn north, return to Jingyang, and finally go to Yuezhi City.
Then from Yuezhi City, we cross mountains and rivers, exit the Great Wall in the north, and enter the desert.
At that time, I hope that I can have the same luck as Huo Piaoqi and find his way to Helan Mountain, and then find the road back to Longyou from there.
Feng Yong's luck was not too bad. When he led the army and rushed all the way to Wushi City, he found that the time here was quiet and peaceful.
Let alone the Wei army, not even the Wei army sentries have been here.
Before arriving at Wushi City, I hoped that Cao Zhen would not arrive here so soon.
But when Cao Zhenzhen didn't come here to block him, Feng Yong became a little hesitant again.
While he reorganized his army in Wushi City, he sent out sentries to Xiaoguan.
Guan Ji, on the other hand, was able to let go of her worries a little.
"It seems that Cao Zhen is really as expected. His original intention is not to plot against the king, but to raid Longyou."
Although the previous speculation was extremely confident, at least half of it was to appease everyone.
Now that she saw that Cao Zhen was as expected, Guan Ji breathed a sigh of relief.
Feng Yong was still a little worried, and he asked with some doubts: "If it were me, I would turn back first, cooperate with Xian Yufu, eat Anding's army, and at the same time regain Anding."
"Cao Zhen's actions now give us more room to maneuver. Why?"
Guan Ji held a long whip in her hand and pointed at the position of Xiao Pass on the sand table: "Because he has a huge appetite. He wants to capture Xiao Pass and also want to eat us."
"And his original intention was to raid Longyou. Now he is forced to go north. He wants to at least capture Xiao Pass as a backup plan."
Xiaoguan is the only pass east of Longyou Mountain for the Han Dynasty.
It is also a nail that the big man drives into Guanzhong, stimulating the nerves of Guanzhong all the time.
There are Xiao Pass in the north and Long Pass in the south. As long as the Han Dynasty has these two passes, they can cooperate with each other at any time to attack Qian County.
On the contrary, if Cao Zhen captures Xiao Pass, it will be equivalent to closing a door for the Han to enter the pass.
At that time, Cao Zhen can concentrate on defending Qian County and preventing the Han from entering Guanzhong from Long Pass.
"As long as Xiao Pass is captured, stability can naturally be achieved without a fight."
Guan Ji is becoming more and more like a general. At least in this battle, she can completely take over Cao Zhen's thoughts.
"He has exposed himself in advance, so the time left for him to attack Xiao Pass is shorter than expected. He must seize the time to prepare to attack Xiao Pass."
"Otherwise, when the prime minister of Hanzhong reacts and sends reinforcements to Longyou, his plan will be in vain."
Guan Ji drew a circle around Xiaoguan, "Looking at Anping, the only place that can accommodate a hundred thousand troops to fight is the Xiaoguan area."
Anding was the intersection area of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia in later generations. In later generations, there was a very famous term called Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, and most of Anding County was included in it.
The terrain here is undulating, with many mountains and ravines, and little flat land, which is not conducive to the deployment of large armies.
When Feng Yong led his army out of Xiaoguan, he and Guan Ji's troops split into two groups. This was actually due to terrain reasons.
There is no exact data yet on how many people Cao Zhen brought over.
But if he really planned to raid Longyou, then at least more than 50,000 people would be needed.
Because the regular Han army in Longyou numbered 50,000.
"If Cao Zhen marches eastward to Wushi City first, then his army will not be able to deploy in the Jingshui River Valley, which is equivalent to giving up his advantage."
"So he must be preparing to attack Xiao Pass at this time, while waiting for us to come to rescue him, and at the same time, he will fight us on the plains below Xiao Pass."
Fortunately, when Guan Ji said she wanted to stay in Pingxiang, she didn't agree, so she had to pull her out!
Feng Junhou was extremely happy.
He looked at the large flat land east of Xiaoguan on the sand table, and finally smiled:
"A decisive battle on flat ground? This method is good!"
Having said this, he nodded heavily:
"If he wants to fight, then fight! Cao Zhen doesn't have enough time, and we don't have enough time either. Otherwise, everything will stop when Xian Yufu comes from behind!"
Cao Zhen was anxious, and Feng Yong was also anxious.
After all, no one knows how long those wallflowers in Linjing City can hold off Xian Yufu.
"Here you go, take a day's rest in Wushi City today, and set out for Xiaoguan tomorrow!"
"promise!"
The generals responded with joy.
"Erlang, you stay."
Zhao Guang didn't understand why his brother would leave him alone and call him Erlang in front of everyone in the army.
"Brother, what's the matter?"
Feng Yong sat down on the commander's seat a little tiredly, pointed to the seat below, and said, "Sit down first."
Seeing his brother's appearance, Zhao Guang knew that something important was going on.
He sat down with some anxiety and looked at his brother.
Feng Yong said slowly, "In this battle, the armored cavalry in your hands is the top priority. At this time, try not to have any problems with any of the horses."
Zhao Guang was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I understand."
Feng Yong smiled, raised his head, and said something off-topic:
"When I first fought against Cao Cao, I met the New Fifth Army led by Zhang He. I heard that there were also veterans of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry at that time."
"After pinging Jincheng, I met the Liangzhou cavalry again. I have already met two of the three strongest cavalry in Wei."
"The remaining one is the Jizhou cavalry that I haven't seen yet. After the Battle of Longyou, Cao Rui transferred a lot of Jizhou soldiers from Hebei."
"So I think that Cao Zhen should have a lot of Jizhou cavalry in his hands at this time."
Feng Yong said this and looked at Zhao Guang, "In the first two times, I didn't have cavalry in my hands, so I could only use Mo Dao to deal with them."
"Now I not only have Mo Dao, but also the cavalry battalion that I have painstakingly built. Therefore, I want to fulfill my wish and defeat all the cavalry in Wei State. Erlang, are you willing to help me?"
Although his brother's tone was calm, Zhao Guang's blood boiled with excitement. He stood up suddenly:
"Without his elder brother, Zhao Guang would not be what he is today. In the past, Zhao Guang always relied on his elder brother. Today, Zhao Guang can charge into battle for his elder brother, and he will not regret it even if he narrowly escapes death!"
Feng Yong shook his head with a serious expression: "I don't want you to die, you just need to help me defeat the cavalry in Cao Zhen's hands, do you understand?"
"clear!"
Two days later, in the Wei army camp under Xiaoguan City.
"Report! Report to Grand Sima, there are Shu captives with a banner with the word "Feng" appearing in the southeast!"
When Cao Zhen, who was inspecting the preparations for attacking Xiaoguan, heard this, a smile appeared on his face after his plan had succeeded:
"Has Thief Feng finally arrived at your door?"
"I thought it would take at least two days for him to arrive, but I didn't expect him to arrive so quickly. The rumors that this thief is good at leading troops to attack are true."
Guo Huai, who followed Cao Zhen, smiled and said:
"From General Yimo's point of view, Thief Feng is probably not leading his troops in a surprise attack this time. He is here to lead his troops to death!"
Guo Huai was almost left in Longyou back then, but he was able to escape back to Guanzhong by relying on the Hu tribes he had supported a few years ago. It also happened to be a severe drought at that time and the Wei River bottomed out.
His escape during the Longyou Battle really made him miserable.
And I heard afterwards that those barbarian tribes that supported him were uprooted by Feng Thief.
Therefore, Guo Huai also deeply hated Feng Yong.
After waiting for a long time, I finally waited until today.
Although he might have to wait a few days to avenge Longyou, it did not prevent him from making fun of him at this time to vent his anger a little.
The people around him laughed when they heard it.
Cao Zhen, on the other hand, after laughing, said:
"The army led by Thief Feng is the elite of the Shu captives. I heard that this man is vicious and cunning, and is good at using soldiers. We should not underestimate him."
"Fortunately, this time the thief was too careless and dared to go deep into Guanzhong alone. If we can get rid of this thief this time, it will be a great harm to the Wei Dynasty."
Shu captured Zhuge Liang, who was good at governing the people, which already made the Wei Dynasty quite afraid.
I never thought that a few years ago, there would be another Feng thief, who was not only good at making money, but also good at running the army, and even his articles were the most literary in the world.
