Chapter 3061 Perhaps it is the same expectation for thousands of years

"There is Xiaopingjin in front. Going northwest further, it is the gateway..."

The scout pointed to the ferry in front and said to Xiahou Yuan.

Xiahou Yuan held his horse, looked at the rolling river, and breathed out.

This was once a small beginning of the chaos in the Three Kingdoms.

After the establishment of the Sour Jujube Alliance, the loose coalition formed a semi-encirclement of Luoyang. Dong Zhuo first crossed the river here and raided the Hanoi prefect Wang Kuang.

Now, Xiahou Yuan is also preparing to cross Xiaopingjin, but the target of the raid was replaced by the Cavalry Army who came out of the Zang Pass.

The Xiaopingjin area is already dilapidated.

There is no sight of some people around.

There should have been a battalion of troops here, but now...

Many places in the Han Dynasty were like Xiaopingjin. They may have been prosperous, but now they have withered. What is even more terrifying is that few people pay attention to this kind of withering.

The economic recession and the collapse of social systems are not something that can be caused by one or two people. The recession, corruption and collapse of the Han Dynasty may be one of the important factors, but it is definitely not the only factor.

The Han ruling system had long collapsed, and local tyrants only wanted to protect themselves. Whether in Hanoi or Heluo, the remaining local tyrants, landlords' manors, and others were actually not much different from those of bandits. They all took out some food and grass as the price for them to buy peace.

For the small forts and manors in these places, they have degenerated from the Han economy. They do not belong to the Han Dynasty, nor do they belong to either side, but to themselves. They are just watching who can occupy the supreme position of the Han Dynasty in the future, they will obey who...

Xiahou Yuan sat on the horse's back, looking at the river that was flowing forever, and felt emotion in his heart.

Since the revival of Guangwu, the Heluo area has been the core area of ​​the Han Dynasty. It seems that there are countless wealth and countless prosperity. However, this area is the most dilapidated area of ​​the Han Dynasty, and it is even worse than the surrounding counties.

The great man is over, but who will inherit the great man?

It can only be Cao Cao, and it must be Cao Cao!

'This battle will definitely win!' Xiahou Yuan said in a deep voice, as if he was cheering up his opponents, as if he was strengthening his confidence. 'The scout came out and detected the other side, and the rest were ready to cross the river!'

In the howling cold wind, the cavalry of Cao's army also responded, heading towards the river, and stepped out a mess of jade by the tidal flats and rivers, and the chaos reflected the eyes.

——

The commander who led the troops out of the gates was not Li Dian, but Li Er. As an inspector and instructor, he usually became a mobilization force as soon as the war came.

At the command of Pang Tong, Chang'an immediately had a lot of mobilized troops like Li Er. With the guidance of soldiers familiar with the terrain of Hedong, it was no problem to be the small army to command the army.

Zhuguan Xing is called Xing, so Zhuguan is naturally a passage. Therefore, Zhuguan cannot be regarded as a majestic pass, but more like a pass. This gap between Zhongtiao Mountain and Wangwu Mountain became a channel connecting the Yuncheng Basin and the Hanoi region during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Zhuguan is the pass to the east of this passage, and there is another pass to the west of Zhuguan called Jiguan.

Whether it is Zhuguan or Jiguan, it is not as dangerous as Tongguan. On the one hand, it is because its geographical location is not as important as Tongguan, and on the other hand, the mountain roads here have been developed too well. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when Zhuguan and Jiguan had just become the main roads for the competition between Han and Wei, whether it is Han or Wei, they wanted to make this passage into their shape, and they were pulling and pulling each other in and out for a long time...

Time is just a pig-killing knife. If the fungus is black, the passage will be loosened.

With the war, infiltration, destruction, the role of Zhuangguan and Jiguan is still related to the pass, and it is also the focus of the main channels. However, among Zhongtiao Mountain and Wangwu Mountain, there are still many winding intestines that have been developed one after another to bypass. Although these winding mountain paths will be difficult to walk, and once you go to the wrong crossroads, you may be lost in Zhongtiao Mountain and Wangwu Mountain...

In the valley, the cold wind whistled.

Li Er walked forward step by step with his troops.

Although most of the cavalry are mainly cavalrymen, it does not mean that there are no infantry at all.

For God, of course, you can see everything clearly and thoroughly, but without this perspective, not everyone will be able to understand what the situation is going on. Different people naturally have different views, especially when they are in the mountains, which invisibly strengthens their worries in this regard.

Li Er recalled the instructions given by Sima Yi before departure.

He felt that Sima Yi's instructions were very ambiguous, and even a little...

Some unspeakable meanings are hidden in it.

Li Er also knew a little about military force, so he felt that if the Cao army wanted to conquer Guanzhong, Tongguan was of course important, but it did not mean that he had to go to Tongguan. Perhaps Wuguan or Hedong Ferry Crossing could enter Guanzhong. Cao's army now clearly seemed to be fighting against Tongguan to the death. Is it true or false?

If you really attack Tongguan, even if you capture Tongguan, will it be too late? The cavalry will come back. At that time, even if you get Tongguan, you will not be able to gain any advantage. The cavalry can attack Cao Cao's rear road through Wuguan and Hedong at any time, cut off Cao Cao's food routes, and invade the rear of Shandong. If the Cao army does not want the entire army to be wiped out, they can only retreat, or fight to the death with a decisive battle.

If you want to use infantry troops on the Guanzhong Plain, you have to face a decisive battle dominated by cavalry, and it is a storm...

So, what exactly does Sima Yi want to do?

It is difficult to keep the gates.

Li Er knew this after he arrived at the gate of the gate.

Zhuguan and Jiguan are like the two ends of a spindle, and the middle of Zhuguanguan is not completely rugged mountain roads, and there is also a fat belly. In the early days, the Rong people lived there, which is also one of the reasons why Zhuguanguanguanguanguan was developed earlier.

If you guard the two ports, you have to be prevented from being detoured. The level can only prevent large troops but cannot block all routes. If you want to block all mountain roads, it requires a large number of people and it is thankless. If you are doing something on the belly of the Zhuguanxing, some space is not enough for the large troops to unfold, and it is also difficult to move around.

Therefore, the best way to deal with it is of course to discover the other party’s whereabouts and movements in advance. But the problem is that the “army” brought by Sima Yi and Li Er can even be said to be not a serious “army” at all!

These are all private soldiers from Hedong, the ones from the great nobles who came from Sima Yi before "successful"!

Only the three hundred people around Li Er are the real cavalry, elite soldiers, and the other seven or eight hundred are all "show goods"!

That is, these people are used to fight fiercely in the daily life of the rich and powerful people, so there is no problem, but now as soldiers...

This gave Li Er a headache.

Does Sima Yi want to use such a person to defeat his opponent?

Or should I ask Li Er to take these people to die?

Or do you want to do something else?

Sima Yi just issued an order to ask Li Er to take these "army" to Changping and Gaoping to find fighter jets. If there is any abnormality, report it in time.

That's all.

Of course, Li Er would not think that Sima Yi asked him to find a plane, but when he received this mission, he did have the urge to shout.

Although Li Er had to obey the military orders, he had been thinking about what the "army" he liked was doing?

Even during the process of moving, these private soldiers who barely act as masters in the daily life have complained a lot...

Originally, he was just muttering in a low voice, but seeing that Li Er had no reaction, his voice became louder and louder.

"...What's this? Isn't it good to guard the Guanzhai? I have to come out and run like this!"

"I'm sending us to defend our hometown. There's nothing to say, but I didn't say that we were going to Hanoi!"

"What can I do when I go to Hanoi? Could it be that I want to attack Wen County?"

『Wen County who is fart...』

"Who guards the pass when we are out of the pass? What should we do if the Cao army seizes the retreat?"

"What else can I do? Just go east and go directly to Xu County to finish your business!"

"I'm just talking nonsense, and I'll hit Xu County. Where are you food and grass? How do you fight those cities, soldiers and villages? Then you'll hit them with verbal words?"

"Take money and eliminate disasters, but now there is no money or bounty. I feel like I'm going all the way! "

"Isn't it the same? It's also the duty to obey orders and act. You can't treat people as others!"

"Eat dry food and sleep in the wild, oh my mother, I have never had such a hard life..."

"At least I can give you a bowl of hot soup... This cold wind that blows people to death makes me feel like I'm going to be jerky..."

"Are you just a fake military marquis? What kind of achievements can you do? How many enemy heads have you cut off? What kind of power is shaking in front of us? You can shake it in front of Cao's army..."

"Oh hey, even the head of the family has never used the master like this, now he has suffered a serious crime..."

These complaints are ups and downs, neither big nor small, neither long nor short. If one falls, the other will rise. If Li Er does not look back, then it will be just enough for Li Er to hear it. If Li Er turns back, these guys will look innocent again, as if they just said that these complaining are not him at all.

Of course, not everyone is complaining, and some do not complain, but they will not speak to stop them. They even exchange small glances with each other, just to see how Li Er responds.

Li Er really didn't think about how to deal with it...

Whistleblower is the only emotional catharsis for lower-class soldiers.

Li Er had no complaints, but he just didn't say it out. In addition, Li Er could not figure out what Sima Yi's order meant and what purpose it was.

It is really not like I can do anything with such a team of old men. Since that's the case, why did Sima Yi forcefully ask for a man to leave the customs? Just as these guys said, even if they can't go out of the customs and fight in the field, when guarding the customs, it's always a laborer to help carry a wood and a stone?

So, unless there is something that must be made to get these guys out.

But Li Er couldn't figure it out for the time being, so he didn't have much time to manage these old men and young men's jokes, as long as these guys didn't hinder the marching...

"Military Marquis!"

Suddenly, a shout interrupted Li Er's thoughts.

Li Er turned around and saw the elite soldiers under his command who were originally belonging to the cavalry, escorting a guy with a scathing look.

Li Er frowned, "Desergeant?"

When Li Er saw this, he didn't use soldiers to explain it specifically, so he guessed it was almost impossible.

Li Er called out first, asked the entire army to pause, then turned around and waited for the three people behind to escort the guy closer.

A soldier with a look of appearance came forward to report, "Junhou, this man pretended to have diarrhea and hid behind Shanguan, intending to escape! The soldier Wang Er discovered an abnormality and captured him on the spot!"

It is also a meritorious to capture the deserter, a minor achievement.

Although it is like a mosquito legs, it is also a piece of meat.

Li Er nodded and asked the judge of the army to leave, asking: "What crime should this son be guilty of?"

Although the guy kept shouting that he was not guilty, but his legs were weak and his stomach hurt. He didn't want to be a deserter at all, no one would believe him.
To be continued...
