Chen Kefu shook his hand: "I will go on this battle personally, so the generals don't have to say much."

"He Ruodong, you lead 500 marching soldiers to carry more flags, drums and horns, camp under Tongguan, build more camps, and more flags. Practice loudly every day and light more torches at night. Be sure to make Tongguan Jing Wuheng unable to understand your reality and dare not go down the mountain."

"I accept the order!"

"Chao Chen, you will take 5,000 female soldiers to guard Fengyi and replace He Ruohuailiang with 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard Yongfeng. Remember, your mission is to defend Fengyi City, and you don't have to fight with the enemy from the city, just defend the city. Fengyi, Pujin and Yongfeng are the three cities, and each of them is 5,000 soldiers and horses. You will each guard the city. If one side encounters the enemy, the other two cities can send troops to support it."

Zhang Chuchen, He Ruohuailiang and Li Yaowang received the order together.

"Zhang Zhongjian, Zhang Jin, Xiao Shilian, He Ruolong, Chang Zhongxing, Ma Ning, Chen Lei obey the order. You will lead a total of 30,000 troops from the headquarters. Follow me to secretly go to Fufeng San Pass tonight. Be sure to hold people and wrap your horses to carry out secret actions. This time, we will siege the city and fight for reinforcements. As long as we defeat Yang Ming's reinforcements first, with Yu Wen and his character, we will be afraid that it will be a matter of time to surrender." Chen Kefu said loudly. When the war came to this point, he had to take risks.

"What should I do in Chang'an? If Yu Culture and I find that our army's main force is not there, will he take the opportunity to attack Yongfeng or Feng Yi?"

"I don't have to pay attention to Chang'an. General He Ruohuailiang only needs to lead 5,000 troops to guard Yongfeng Cang, and everything will be as usual. Yongfeng is not far or near to Chang'an City, just like a thorn stuck in Yu Wen and his throat. As long as this army is there, with only 10,000 troops in Chang'an, he will never dare to go out to fight." Chen Kefu knew Yu Wen and his silence. If he put these 5,000 soldiers under Chang'an City, maybe Yu Wen and his temptation might be made. But if he stayed in Yongfeng, which was not far or near, Yu Wen and his silence would never take the risk of sending troops.

"By the way, I'll give Chen Shuming and Chen Ke's enemy an order to make them hold Yuwen Chengdu. Don't rush to fight Yuwen Chengdu. Just hold him back. Once Yuwen Cheng returns to the army regardless of everything, he will hit him hard. Changwu is not close to Chang'an. If Yuwen Chengdu dares to return to Chang'an to the death, then let him go back with blood all the way."

That night, in addition to the few soldiers and horses left as cover, Chen Kefu personally led 30,000 troops. Among them, 8,000 cavalry light cavalry, 1,000 heavy cavalry, and 20,000 cavalry riding and infantry. It was really dark and 30,000 troops went west along the Weishui River.

Yongfeng Cang City is 600 miles away from Sanguan.

Chen's army was hiding at night and marched 150 miles a day. Fortunately, Guanzhong was already empty. The Yuwen family had previously drawn troops to Xiaoguan. Later, they were transferred to Changwu. Not long ago, a group was transferred to Yongfeng. Two days ago, the last civil defense of the township groups in the counties and counties near the capital was transferred to the Beijing garrison.

As we walked along the way, the people of all cities had already known that the Emperor of Chen had personally invaded Guanzhong, and even heard that Chang'an was surrounded. Therefore, almost all the people of all counties fled into various towns, and in rural villages, there were often no one in dozens of miles.

Fufeng County, Chencang County.

The battle had just ended. The 30,000 Chen army, who had been running 600 miles, marched here for four days, and was also in a mess. Seeing this, Chen Kefu sent people to inquire that there were only one thousand garrisons in Chen Cang City, so he simply ordered a sneak attack on Chen Cang City. Faced with the prepared Chen army, the Chen Cang defenders were not at all prepared. They could not have imagined how the Chen army, who was supposed to be besieging Chang'an, would appear here.

After a little resistance, Chen Cangcheng had fallen. The Chen army entered the city in an orderly manner. The troops searched for food, cleaned the battlefield, and interrogated the prisoners, and did not have any chaos. In less than two hours, Chen Cangcheng not only returned to peace, but also prepared hot water for bathing, hot meals, and excellent horse ingredients.

After taking a hot shower, Chen Kefu felt a little relieved. After eating a few bites of food, Zhang Jin was already waiting for a quick look outside.

"Your Majesty, the army is urgently reported. Yang Qing has agreed to raise an army to seek help from Yu Culture and Culture. He has raised 200,000 troops in Shu, claiming to be a 500,000 army. Currently, Pei Renji, the father and son who are still in Hanzhong, led 100,000 troops as vanguards and rushed to Sanguan, only one day away from Sanguan." These days, Zhang Jin has already ordered the secret service spies from various special service departments in Hanzhong, Shuzhong, Guanzhong, and to investigate the movements of the troops in various places.

However, the mountains and rivers of Han Shu were dangerous, the road was difficult, and it was not convenient to communicate information. When the news of Pei Renji and his son sending troops was received, Pei Renji's troops were not far from Sanguan.

"Where is Yang Ming?" Chen Kefu asked.

"Yang Hing is still in Chengdu. It is said that he is mobilizing all his troops and preparing to help the country. At present, Pei Renji is a vanguard of 100,000 troops. In addition, he has gathered 100,000 troops with Dong Chun, Yang Yichen, Tu Wanxu, and Yuguluo in Chengdu. He has gathered 100,000 troops and horses. He heard that he is still recruiting troops and recruiting strong men. Judging from their appearance, he plans to fight with all his might. In addition, Shen Luoyan from Jianghan also heard that he has gathered 50,000 troops and is preparing to follow Yang Hing into the pass."

"Hmph, Yang Ming's intention is not to drink. He just took Shuzhong, and his foundation was already solid. If he only sent troops to rescue Yu Culture and, it would be enough to have Pei Renji's 100,000 troops. But look at him, not only did he take out the last 100,000 people from Shuzhong, but he was also constantly recruiting troops and even pulled Shen Luoyan. It seems that this kid is not very kind, and rescue Yu Culture and is fake. It seems that he wants to take the opportunity to enter Guanzhong. If he enters Guanzhong, it will be difficult to invite him away. This kid has seized Hanzhong, Bazhong, and Shuzhong. Now he is thinking about Chang'an and is preparing to use Chang'an as his base camp."

Zhang Zhongjian, who had just arrived, also nodded, "Your Majesty's words are reasonable. Yang Ming has Bahan Shu, and the Jianghan Shen Luoyan in the south is not worthy of being an enemy at all. He wants to take grain from the fire and seize Guanzhong, and this plan is very good. If he is allowed to enter Guanzhong, with his troops, we may not be able to compete with him at the moment. Once he swallows the Guanzhong of Yuwen's family, he will be able to plunder the west of Longyou and completely occupy the west.

The south and northwest have the capital to confront us for a long time. If that is the case, then the battle of unification will inevitably lead to external branches. The desire of Dachen to unify the world is also far away. I think that now we should immediately attack Sanguan and block Pei Renji. In addition, the court immediately ordered General Lu Shishen of Jiangling to lead his troops out of Badong and attack Bashu to restrain some of Yang Hsiao's troops."

Chen Kefu nodded and looked at Zhang Zhongjian with encouragement.

Chang Zhongxing worriedly: "This matter is easy to say, but it is difficult to operate. Pei Renji has 100,000 troops, but we only have 30,000. And now Sanguan is still in the hands of Yuwen, and the Pei army's vanguard can arrive in less than a day. If we fail to take Sanguan before Pei's arrival, we will fall into a siege on all sides."

Chen Kefu thought for a while and said, "Yu Wen and the one who is trapped in Chang'an now are hundreds of miles away. Although he knows that Yang Hing will come to rescue, he definitely does not dare to take the risk of sending troops out of the city. As for Pei Renji, although he has 100,000 troops, I estimate that it would be good if there are 30% of the elite troops. The Sanguan Guards are only 5,000. Although the time is not long, as long as it is arranged properly, we can still take Sanguan before Pei Renji arrives.

"All the generals obeyed the orders, Ma Ning, He Ruolong, and Chen Lei followed me to lead the cavalry to set off immediately to Sanguan. Marshal Zhang Zhongjian then led the infantry to follow us, and we will take Sanguan in one fell swoop!"

Chen Jun, who had just rested for less than half a day, set off again.

The mountain road was dangerous, so Chen Kefu had to order to dismount and go.

"Your Majesty, it's dark and the road is dangerous. Why not take a break for the time being and wait for dawn before marching." Chen Lei advised.

"No, we must step up the march. Pei Renji's vanguard may reach Sanguan at any time. He is different from us. When we arrive at Sanguan, we have to attack and capture the pass. But once Pei Renji arrives, they can enter the pass immediately. Once they occupy Sanguan, this side will be the Guanzhong Plain with a flat horse. At that time, Pei Renji can even pile us up with people." Chen Kefu shook and walked quickly with the horse.

Ma Ning rushed forward: "Your Majesty, it's only two hours away from Sanguan. Our Xiliang cavalry is good at dangerous roads. I asked for the order to lead three thousand light cavalry to take one step first and attack Sanguan."

"Is there any news about Pei Jun?"

"Their forwards arrived fifty miles outside Sanguan last evening, but they did not enter the pass overnight. They camped in Sanguan." Zhang Jin said immediately.

Chen Kefu was overjoyed when he heard this: "God really helped me. Pei Jun didn't know that we had arrived, so he was unwilling to rush to the night, and chose to station outside the pass. This is really a great opportunity for us. We must win the Sanguan tonight, otherwise we will be in trouble when Pei Jun arrives in Tianming. Ma Ning, you can immediately bring 5,000 Xiliang cavalry first."

"Your Majesty, then there are not many people around you."

"Don't worry about me, I will arrive later, go quickly. Take the San Pass, I will give all the soldiers a higher level and give them a high reward!"

Ma Ning roared and led the 5,000 Xiliang cavalry toppled over and galloped away in the dark. Looking at the team that was moving away, Chen Kefu was also full of nervousness. Although he didn't believe that Yang Hung really had an army of 200,000, and even less believed in the number of 500,000. But if Pei Jun first occupied the San Pass, it would be difficult to retake such dangerous passes.

With a nervous mood, Chen Kefu marched all the way. When he finally arrived at the pass, Ma Ning was already waiting in front of the pass.

"My Ma Ning and his brothers are fortunate to be humiliated and did not disappoint His Majesty's expectations. The Great San Pass has been completely captured. The five thousand troops in Guanzhong have been guarded, and more than 700 soldiers were killed in battle, and the rest have been captured. Our troops have paid more than 500 casualties and have completely controlled San Pass."

"Okay!" Chen Kefu was overjoyed when he heard this, and personally dismounted and helped Ma Ning up: "Okay, okay, General Ma asked to get up, and he should plan to make the first contribution, and reward him with great rewards after the war."

Looking at the Sanguan Pass City among the mountains, Chen Kefu couldn't help feeling relieved. Finally, he won the Sanguan before Pei Renji's striker, so he had more confidence in the battle behind him.
Chapter completed!
