Chapter 511: The army is approaching Dingyuan Fortress

The plan to attack Hanzhong County by Lu Feng was unanimously recognized, and no one raised any objections, which made Yue Fei very happy, so he stared at the five counties of Hanzhong County on the map and thought carefully.

After a long time, Yue Fei said: "Most of the five counties in Hanzhong County are concentrated in Mianshui and Censhui. This is the largest plain area of ​​Hanzhong County. There is only one Anyang City near Qinchuan to the north. If you want to completely block the road from Qinchuan to Shu, Anyang City must be in control. If you take down Anyang City, then Yangping Pass in the north of Anyang City will be completely cut off by our army. Therefore, before the army starts, we need to send a group of troops to capture Anyang City and Yangping Pass."

"General, my subordinates don't think so." Just when Yue Fei was about to arrange people to attack Anyang City and Yangping Pass, Yongning Guard military advisor Ju Su raised objections.

"Oh, I wonder what military advisor Ju have to do?" Yue Fei was not angry when he saw Ju Su questioning him. First, he and Ju Su belonged to a different system. Although Yue Fei was the general of the General Governor's Office and the number one in the entire Deng State's military, Ju Su was under the jurisdiction of the Military Affairs Office. Even Yue Fei had no right to deal with Ju Su. Secondly, after years of war, Yue Fei attached great importance to the military advisors in the Military Affairs Office. Whenever the battle situation could not be opened, these military advisors would play a decisive role. Therefore, seeing that Ju Su had objections to his arrangements, Yue Fei also wanted to listen to Ju Su's opinions.

"Gao Jian dared not say it, he just had some ideas." Ju Su was humble first, and then said: "The Xicheng where our army is located is hundreds of miles away from Anyang City, Yangping Pass, and the journey is long. Since the Battle of Jianshan, the Qin army has strengthened the alertness of Hanzhong County. Therefore, no matter how many soldiers our army sent, it cannot escape the Qin army. Anyang City is fine, but Yangping Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If the Qin army is vigilant, it may be difficult to take it down."

After hearing this, Yue Fei thought about it, then nodded deeply and asked Ju Su: "With military advisor Ju, what should I do?"

Ju Su looked at the map, paused, and then said, "For the sake of the present, the only way to startle the snake and lead the snake out of the cave. What his subordinates mean is that our army concentrates superior forces, crosses the Han River, attacks Longting and Dingyuan, the two Qin army fortresses, attracting the Qin army in Hanzhong County. Although Wei Song is also a rare general, after all, his time in the army is still short, and it is difficult to see the intention of our army. As long as we attract the Qin army's gaze to Longting and Dingyuan, we will send troops around the Qin army and unexpectedly take down Anyang City and Yangping Pass."

Yue Fei stared at the map, then carefully considered Ju Su's plan, sometimes frowned, sometimes nodded. Finally, Yue Fei had to admit that Ju Su's method was better than his own, and then sighed: "Thanks to Military Advisor Ju, otherwise I would have failed to attack Hanzhong County this time." After that, he bowed to Ju Su.

"The general doesn't have to do this!" Seeing Yue Fei saluting to him, Ju Su replied in fear and fear: "As the military advisor of the army, it is a duty to check for the general's omissions and fill in the gaps. He will not be able to give such a great gift to the general."

"No matter what, if this battle is successful, Military Advisor Ju will be the first to be successful!" Yue Fei nodded and said, "I wonder what you have in your opinion on Military Advisor Ju's strategy?"

"It depends entirely on the general, and the last general has no objection!" Since Yue Fei agreed with Ju Shu's plan, how could they have other opinions?

"Okay!" Seeing that everyone had no objection, Yue Fei ordered: "Murong Chui obeyed the order!"

"The last one is here!" Murong Chui said out of the line!

Yue Fei looked at Murong Chui and showed an admiring look. The sixteen generals of Deng State's Sixteen Guards were the only ones who really saw Yue Fei. After Yue Fei believed that these four people were himself and Yang Yanzhao and Chang Yuchun, the second-generation pillar of Deng State's military. As for Lu Feng, although he was good at abilities, he was a surrendered general. Although he was highly valued, his status as a surrendered general was destined to be impossible for Lu Feng to reach the peak. The new generation of Deng Zhong, Li Jing and others were relatively young, and it was understandable that Yue Fei regarded them as the third generation. After Xue Rengui and others got old, Deng Zhong, Li Jing and others were in their battle years and just took over.

"General Murong, Anyang City and Yangping Pass are related to the success or failure of our army. There must be no mistakes. Therefore, I will order you to lead the Shenwu Guard to bypass the Qin army after our army is approaching Dingyuan and Longting, and take down Anyang City, Yangping Pass, block the Xiegu Road, Chencang Road, Ziwu Road and other places as fast as possible. I wonder if you are sure?" Yue Fei said to Murong Chui.

"Here! Please rest assured, the general will definitely take down Anyang City, Yangping Pass, and stop the Qin army in Guanzhong outside Hanzhong County!" Murong Chui replied, taking down Anyang City, Yangping Pass was just the beginning. The most important thing is to block the hundreds of thousands of Qin troops in Guanzhong until Yue Fei took down the entire Hanzhong County.

Yue Fei nodded and said, "Okay, I will lead a large army west soon. General Murong will lead the Shenwu Guard to stay in the west city for the time being, waiting for my general's military order. As soon as my general's order arrived, General Murong will lead his troops north."

"Here!"

After Murong Chui received the order, Yue Fei said to everyone: "Everyone, after you go back, you will start to rectify your troops. Two days later, the army will advance westward!"

"Here!" everyone responded.

On the 3rd day of the sixth month of the Qianyuan year, Yue Fei led the Yongning Guard and Tianning Guards to the westward of Hanzhong County. On the 6th day of the sixth month of the sixth month, the army arrived at the Dingyuan Fortress of Hanzhong County.

The sudden attack of Deng's army instantly shocked Dingyuan Fortress. Dingyuan guard Nanyun hurriedly sent a fast horse to Nanzheng City to report the news. After Yue Fei arrived at Dingyuan Fortress, he did not attack the city as soon as possible, but instead hoarded troops here and waited for the arrival of the Qin army.

A day later, Dingyuan's letter of help was sent to Nanzheng City. When the messenger entered Nanzheng City, Qin general Wei Song was inspecting the military camp. When he learned that Dingyuan was urgently reported, Wei Song was shocked.

When he saw the messenger, Wei Song hurriedly asked, "You came from Dingyuan? Tell me quickly, what happened to Dingyuan?"

The messenger replied: "Reported to General, Deng's army raided Dingyuan Fortress, and the army has been stationed several miles outside Dingyuan. General Nanyun was afraid that Dingyuan Fortress would be in trouble, so he sent villains to report the message and asked the general to send troops to support him quickly."

"Deng's army raided Dingyuan Fortress? How strong are the troops? Who is the commander?" Wei Song was not too panicked when he heard the Deng's army attack. Instead, he asked the messenger how many Deng's army came this time? Who led the troops.

"The general, Deng's army was unknown. There were three major flags in the army, one was the main general's flag, with the word Yue written on it, and the other two were written on it, Tianning Wei Zhang and Yongning Wei Lu." The messenger replied.

"Tianning Guard and Yongning Guard are one of the sixteen guards of Deng State. Those who can command the sixteen guards must be famous generals in the General General of Deng State, and the person named Yueqi is probably the first general of Deng State Yue Fei." After hearing this, Wei Song frowned and said, "The Sixteen guards of Deng State are not subordinate to each other, and those who can command troops and horses above the two guards at the same time must be famous generals in the General General of Deng State. Among the famous generals of Deng State, only the General Deng State and the famous general Yue Fei is the only one.

Wei Song suddenly felt a little tricky. Yue Fei became famous for many years and had not suffered a defeat since his debut. Although Wei Song was very confident in him, he was also self-aware. Such a famous general like Yue Fei was definitely not a nameless soldier who had just begun to deal with him, but Dingyuan Fortress cannot be missed. Therefore, Wei Song said to the deputy general beside him: "Quickly assemble troops and follow the general to rescue Dingyuan Fortress. In addition, send fast horses back to Chang'an to report the message, and ask the court to send reinforcements quickly."

"Here!" The deputy general did not dare to neglect and hurriedly went down to make arrangements.

After the deputy general left, Wei Song said to the messenger: "You should return to Dingyuan Fortress immediately and tell Nan Yun that he would keep the fortress. He would never encounter a war between Deng's army and wait for the arrival of our general!"

"Here!" the messenger responded and left.

After the messenger left, Wei Song began to worry. Although the messenger said that the number of Deng soldiers who attacked this time was unknown, Wei Song knew very well that the number of Deng soldiers who attacked this time must be no less than 100,000. The reason was very simple. The sixteen guards of Deng State had 50,000 troops each. Now they were dispatched at once. With the command of famous generals like Yue Fei, the troops would definitely not be small. How many soldiers and horses do he have in Hanzhong County? A mere 50,000 troops are not a big problem. Although it is not a big problem to defend the city with a 50,000 number to block the 100,000 Deng army, the key is that among these 50,000 people, there are 20,000 troops in Baishui Pass, which cannot be moved. After all, there are 100,000 troops of Deng State stationed in the south of Baishui Pass, so he can only use only 30,000 troops.

But even so, Wei Song had no way out and could only bite the bullet. Wei Song made up his mind and could not stand after he arrived at Dingyuan Fortress. Dingyuan Fortress was also solid. It was not easy for Deng's army to conquer it. At the very least, it would be possible for the Deng army to survive.

Under Wei Song's forced order, the 30,000 soldiers and horses in Nanzheng City were fully understood. However, after thinking about it, Wei Song still left 5,000 troops to stay in Nanzheng City in case of emergency, and led 25,000 troops to head eastward and head to Dingyuan Fortress.

At the same time, Yue Fei was leading a large army to the Dingyuan Fortress. Looking at the Hanzhong Fortress in front of him, Yue Fei smiled and said, "Although there are not many cities in Hanzhong County, these fortresses are quite large in scale."

"Haha, these fortresses were built by the Han State to prevent our Da Deng and Shu State. This can strengthen the defense of Hanzhong County. Secondly, Hanzhong County is vast and it is not possible to rely on a few cities alone. The status of these fortresses in Hanzhong County is no lower than that of the five counties. It is said that Liu Bang, the founding king of the Han State, planned to build these fortresses into cities. However, the Han State had no spare time because it fought with Chu State with all its might, so it was put on hold." Xi Zhicai, who was standing by, smiled and replied.

"Everyone thinks, how should our army do next?" Yue Fei asked.

"General, since we are here, we can't just stay here like this. If our army does not move, it will arouse Wei Song's suspicion, so we still have to fight." Xi Zhicai said.

"The military advisor is right, since they are all here, it's impossible to say nothing." Yue Fei nodded, then looked at the generals behind him, and said to Qin Yong, the two second-generation military generations, Wang Hongyi, and Wang Hongyi obeyed the orders!"

"The last general is here!" Qin Yong and Wang Hongyi bowed and responded.

"I will lead our troops to attack Dingyuan Fortress in batches. Remember, don't rush to break the city and fight slowly. When the Qin army is almost done, retreat." Yue Fei smiled and said, "Don't fight, but don't really break it, otherwise Wei Song will probably retract back to Nanzheng City."
