- Chapter 296: Those who understand current affairs
The total number of Liu Feng's troops gathered in Ye County is about 70,000. ~~
The previous logging and building of houses in the Tongguan camp was just a tactic.
The wooden house replaces the tent. On the one hand, it can show the enemy on Guancheng that they are willing to fight for a long time. On the other hand, when night falls, the wooden house can effectively conceal the situation inside.
Because, inside the seemingly densely packed wooden houses, there was actually no one at all.
Liu Feng's 70,000 people were actually mixed among the civilians transporting grain. They escaped Liu Bei's scouts and careful preparations and returned to Nanyang in a big way.
Now, Liu Feng followed the last batch of five thousand people's grain transport team and successfully arrived in Yecheng. All the troops had been assembled, and it was naturally time for the plan to be launched.
This is Jia Xu¡¯s real strategy. Just as Fazheng expected, it is indeed to attack the east and the west, but the attack is not Hanzhong, but Wuguan.
In the evening of the same day, Liu Feng led the veteran general Yan Yan as the vanguard with 20,000 troops, and his own 30,000 troops as the middle army. He ordered Zhang Ni and Ma Zhong to lead 20,000 troops as the rear troops. They set out lightly armed with only ten days of food. Starting from Ye County, passing through Xi'e, Li County, and Danshui counties, it went straight to Wuguan.
After three days of rapid march, Yan Yan's 20,000 vanguard met up with Wenpin and his 20,000 Nanyang troops stationed in Danshui. According to Liu Feng's order, Yan Yan's troops only had half a day's rest, and in the early morning of the next day, two With an army of more than 50,000 people, they launched an attack on Wuguan first.
Two days later, follow-up troops arrived one after another. Nearly 100,000 troops launched an unprecedented fierce attack on Wuguan with an overwhelming advantage.
Nanyang County and Jingzhaoyin in Guanzhong are connected by a Danshui River hundreds of miles long. There are many mountains along both sides of the river.
This Wuguan is located on the north bank of Danshui. The city is built on a relatively flat highland between the canyons. It is surrounded by the tall Shaoxi Mountain in the north and dangerous terrain in the south. It has one gate each in the east and west.
The terrain in the western part of this pass is relatively flat. You can only go east out of the pass and reach a section of Nanyang County. It winds through the mountainside. The cliffs are high and the valleys are deep, making it narrow and difficult to pass. This pass, together with Hangu Pass, Xiao Pass and Dashan Pass, is known as the Four Fortresses of Qin.
Although Wuguan is dangerous, it is obviously not an order of magnitude compared to Tongguan.
The military commander on the front line of Wuguan is Li Yan. Liu Bei allotted him an army of nearly 10,000. Li Yan is indeed somewhat capable. Previously, with 10,000 troops, he easily withstood Wenpin's 50,000 troops. The attack of soldiers and horses.
However, Jia Xu's plan to seize the opportunity to attack the east and attack the west caused Liu Bei to misjudge Liu Feng's intentions, so not long ago, he mobilized nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses from Wuguanchou to rush to the valley entrances of the Qinling Mountains. [This chapter is provided for you]
This means that the current number of troops on the front line of Wuguan is only more than 5,000, while Liu Feng's attacking troops number 100,000.
The ratio of twenty to one is an absolute advantage.
One hundred thousand troops, divided into groups of 20,000, launched a fierce attack on Wuguan City in turns day and night.
Liu Feng has made up his mind, even if it costs human lives, he will use up all the defenders of Wuguan.
The fierce attack lasted for less than two days, and Liu Feng paid a price of more than 10,000 people, while Li Yan's losses were less than 2,000.
Although it was only two thousand, it was already very fatal to Li Yan who was short of troops.
The anxious Li Yan could only support himself while sending people to Tongguan to ask Liu Bei for help.
On the third day of the battle, Liu Fengjun suddenly stopped attacking.
Li Yan on the top of the city let out a sigh of relief. In the past three days, he had barely slept for less than three hours. At this time, he, like all the soldiers, was extremely exhausted.
Just when Li Yan was about to take advantage of this opportunity and seize the precious time to take a rest, he saw a rider coming alone from outside the pass.
The man was not wearing armor, nor was he carrying a weapon. He rode his horse slowly over the corpses on the ground. After a while, he stationed his horse in front of the Guancheng trench.
When Li Yan saw the man's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but feel a slight shock in his heart.
"Meng Da, the general of Pingxi of the Han Dynasty, came here to meet his old friend."
The person standing in front of the Maguan Pass and speaking loudly was none other than Meng Da.
During the Liu Zhang era, Meng Da, Li Yan, Fazheng and others all belonged to the Dongzhou Group, and they were very good to each other and shared the same goals.
Unfortunately, Fazheng and Li Yan followed Liu Bei, while Meng Da surrendered to Liu Feng in Yidu, and they belonged to two camps from then on.
Liu Feng knew that Meng Da and Li Yan were old friends, and that Li Yan had a "record" of betraying Liu Zhang in battle. Therefore, before sending troops to Wuguan, Liu Feng considered using Meng Da's relationship to persuade him to surrender. Li Yan.
After two days of fierce attack, Liu Feng believed that he hadHaving given Li Yan enough deterrent pressure, now is the time to use both soft and hard tactics to take advantage of Meng Da's move.
When Li Yan saw that it was Meng Da, he knew why his old friend was here. He pondered for a moment and then ordered Meng Da to be let into the customs.
The suspension bridge was lowered, the city gate opened wide, and Mengda entered slowly, one man and one horse.
Li Yan did not pretend to be "everyone is his own master". He personally welcomed his old friend with a smile on his face and joined hands to enter his big tent.
"Zhengfang, you and I have been friends for many years and have been sincere to each other. I will not mince words. I came to see you this time because I was entrusted by Duke Song to persuade you to submit to the imperial court."
Before the two guests and host could sit down, Meng Da bluntly stated his purpose of coming.
Li Yan wiped the blood on his face with a wet wipe. He was not surprised by Meng Da's frankness.
After drinking a sip of water, he regained his strength a little from the exhaustion. Li Yan smiled bitterly and sighed, "When you and Xiaozhi conspired to welcome the King of Guanzhong to Sichuan, you didn't even give me a greeting first, so I was hastily dismissed. You forced me to surrender to the King of Guanzhong. Later, you acted on your own initiative and surrendered to Song Gong, which almost put Xiaozhi and I in a situation of irreparable danger. Now, Zidu, you have come to persuade me to surrender to Song Gong. I am really afraid of you."
Li Yan's tone seemed to be a bit complaining.
Meng Da, however, looked calm, "As the saying goes, things in the world are unpredictable. Guan Yu was defeated, Jingzhou was lost, and Liu Xuande's army was far away in Yizhou. If I had not surrendered to Song Gong, I would have been nothing but loess by now. I only remember Xiaozhi once told us that those who understand the current affairs are heroes, and don¡¯t you agree with Zhengfang?¡±
Li Yandao said, "A person who knows the current affairs is a hero. Then, Zidu must firmly believe that the Song Guild is the final winner."
Mengda stood up, pointed in the direction outside the pass, and said loudly, "Now Song Gong has two of the three-thirds of the world. He has fierce generals under his command, countless wise and resourceful people, and people's hearts are eager to join him. The weather, the right location, the right people, and the people are all the same." We have everything in our hands, the situation has been decided, I don¡¯t believe that with your knowledge, Zhengfang, you will understand it.¡±
Meng Da¡¯s words really hit Li Yan¡¯s heart, and his expression clearly changed.
"As a surrendered general, I am now promoted to General Pingxi. You will not see that the subordinates such as Wenpin, Gan Ning, Xu Shu, etc. are all in prominent positions. This can be seen from the Song Gong's ability to treat the virtuous and use their talents. I would like to show you your talents. , if you can submit to Song Gong, I can guarantee that your official position will not be inferior to mine."
Meng Da was doing this to get acquaintance, and since he dared to make such a stern guarantee, it was obvious that he had already obtained Liu Feng's approval before.
"This matter is of great importance. I must think about it carefully and ask Zidu to tell Song Gong to give me a few more days." Li Yan was moved, but for a while he couldn't make up his mind.
At this time, Meng Da's expression suddenly became serious. He looked directly at Li Yan and said coldly, "Liu Bei heard that there was a loss in Wuguan. How could he not send troops to come? Song Gong said, it is either war or surrender. In the afternoon There has to be an answer before that.¡±
According to Liu Feng's estimation, the letter asking for help sent by Li Yan at this time has probably been sent to Liu Bei. A large number of reinforcements should be on their way to Wuguan at this moment and will arrive within two days at most. Therefore, he naturally Li Yan will not be given too much time to think about it.
Li Yan looked at Meng Da and said silently, "What if I don't want to surrender?"
Meng Da did not hesitate and immediately replied, "After noon, if you haven't replied Zhengfang, a hundred thousand troops will attack the city immediately, and the Song Guild will raze Wuguan City to the ground."
Meng Da¡¯s naked threat is not just scaremongering. With Liu Feng¡¯s current strength, he is fully capable of doing it.
The sun was already rising, and it was less than an hour before noon. There was not much time left for Li Yan to think about it.
This celebrity from Nanyang was pacing his tent anxiously, suffering from the most important decision in his life.
Meng Da did not kiss him again, but sat there on his knees, sipping the tea with a leisurely expression.
Everything that needs to be said has been said. Li Yan is a wise and resourceful man. There is no need to talk about unnecessary reasons. Everything will be decided by himself.
Time passed by minute by second, and more than half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. The pro-army troops outside came to report. The enemy troops that had retreated began to slowly advance towards Guancheng again, with a momentum even greater than the previous attack. .
At this time, Meng Da stood up, looked at his old friend calmly, and said calmly, "Zhengfang, it's time to make a decision. Life or death is in your mind."
Li Yan stopped his anxious steps. He came outside the tent and looked at the dark clouds on the horizon. After being silent for a long time, he let out a long breath.
At this time, Liu Feng was fully clothed and riding his horse among the endless army.
Although he had a certain degree of confidence in Meng Da Bao, he did not place all his hopes on it. He was already prepared to flood Wuguan City with a huge sea of ??people.
It was past noon, and just when he was about to give up peaceful means and order the use of force, the lowering flag was finally raised on Wuguan City.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The city was opened wide, and the three thousand remnant troops defending the city marched out of the city in an orderly manner. Li Yan followed Meng Da and rode alone to meet Liu Feng.
Liu Feng was overjoyed. He got off his horse and lifted up Li Yan, who was lying in front of him. He stroked his shoulders and said, "Zhengfang, this time I wiped out Liu Bei and unified the world. This achievement belongs to you."
Liu Feng, who was so excited, made Li Yan the general of the Northern Expedition on the spot, and ordered him to lead five thousand troops as the vanguard, march west from Wuguan, and directly take the hinterland of Guanzhong. - Didn't finish reading?
