Chapter 100 Great Victory (Part 2)
Wei generals Huangfu Kai, Yang Xin, and Qian Hong led their troops to the Qishan camp and rushed towards the Shu army's camp. Seeing the entire Wei army attack from afar, Shu general Wen Hu sneered a few times, and actually led the Shu army to abandon the camp. The Wei army took advantage of the situation to seize several camps of Shu army. Huangfu Kai was worried about it, so he ordered the army to stop for a while, and ordered Yang Xin to lead 10,000 soldiers to continue to advance, and he and Qian Hong were backing up.
The Wei soldiers obtained military information from various places, and the Shu soldiers also knew that it was also known. Liao Hua's army was determined to restrain and delay. Now that Jiang Wei has successfully captured Yongzhou, Liu Chan even accidentally killed Chen Tai, the commander of the Wei army on the western front. Before such a big victory, if it were a young general, he would have been planning to make achievements and fight against the Wei army. But the veteran Liao Hua had already taken this lightly, so he ordered the troops to abandon the camp and leave thirty miles away from Qishan to re-camp.
Huangfu Kai commanded the Wei army to advance, and Liao Hua led the Shu soldiers to retreat. The Wei army retreated to Qishan. Liao Hua's Shu soldiers followed him like shadows. As time went by, Qian Hong was so angry that he was furious that he wanted to lead his troops to go deeper. Huangfu Kai and Yang Xin took turns to dissuade him, but Qian Hong did not fall into Liao Hua's plan to lure the enemy. When encountering cunning generals like Liao Hua, it was even more difficult for the Wei army in Qishan to open up the situation.
Chen Tai was killed, Yongzhou lost half of the news, Liangzhou cut off the news, and a series of emergency military information reached Xuchang. Sima Zhao stood up angrily and scolded the ministers for being useless.
Xun Kai replied: "I dared to ask Duke Jin to temporarily stop the anger of thunder. Only now can increase his troops in Chang'an so that the thieves in Shu will not invade."
"Where is Xunzi saying this? Do you want to hand over the land of the Three Auxiliary to the people of Shu?" Shao Ti, the Western Cao subordinate, retorted.
"I reported to Duke Jin and Chen Xuanbo for his life to sacrifice his country, and the Western Front is in danger. We should quickly send elite soldiers and generals to go, open up the road to Yongliang, and confront the Shu people head-on. The Shu people are inconvenient to operate their food and fodder and their troops are dispersed. This is the time for each to defeat them. How can we sit and watch them eat up our land!" Shao Ti said in a statement.
Xun Kaizhi's status is naturally much higher than Shao Ti, but in the battle against Shu, he failed to capture the Golden Village of the Shu army. After returning to the country, he was criticized by everyone. In addition, Xun Kai was indeed very talented and everyone was despised. At this time, Shao Ti didn't care about showing mercy to Xun Kai and directly scolded him. Seeing that Sima Zhao's face was not kind, Xun Kai hummed a few times, staring at Shao Ti with his eyes slanted, without saying anything.
"Zichu and Wang Boyu confronted the people of Wu in the east, Zhong Shiji and Chen Xiuyuan were guarding the south to share my worries. I wonder who can solve the dangers in the West?" After hearing Shao Ti's remarks, Sima Zhao's face eased.
Shao Ti knelt down and said, "Our army was defeated suddenly, and the three auxiliary officers were shocked. However, the county magistrates in various places were loyal and righteous people. The Shu people would not be able to obtain the entire territory for a while, so they would be trapped. At this time, if Duke Jin personally promoted a army to advance westward, it would be easier to defeat the Sichuan thieves!"
The ministers were shocked when they heard this. Shao Ti actually advised Ma Zhao, the Jin company, to go to war in person! Pei Xiu also spoke from the other side: "What Shao Yuanbo said is very true. Sima Zichu and Zhong Shiji were all heroes at that time. It is difficult for the people of Wu to cross the line. The land of Yongliang has not yet completely fallen, and the lord's army is coming to rescue them!"
There were five troops in the east, Sima Wang, Zhong Hui, Chen Qian, Wang Ji, and Wang Jing fought against Jiangdong. Although the siege of Shouchun was not resolved, the Wu army divided its troops to resist Sima Wang and Wang Jing's reinforcements and no longer had the strength to continue to attack the city. Shouchun was temporarily guaranteed to be fine for several months. The Wu general Shi Ji raised his troops to go north. Zhong Hui and Chen Qian guarded the soldiers many times in important places, and there were other cavalrymen swimming to support him. When the Wu army saw it, they did not dare to land, and there was no big problem for the time being. Now the urgent thing is the Shu Han army that took the lead.
Sima Zhao had made up his mind, so he left his beloved son Sima Yan to guard Xuchang, and Pei Xiu and Shao Ti and others to assist him. Sima Zhao personally ordered 60,000 troops to the battlefield on the western front. He sent Pang Hui and Xu Yi to the vanguard to lead 10,000 cavalry to Chang'an. Sima Jun, Sima Liang and others from the clan set out with the army as generals.
After winning the first battle, Liu Chan suddenly became confident in using troops, but the army had no food and grass to retreat temporarily. Wugong was at a critical moment, and it was difficult to guard without military rations, so he had to give up. So Liu Chan ordered people to urge Hanzhong to supervise the large army of food and grass relief as soon as possible, and all the people who had martial arts moved to Hanzhong to live, while Shu soldiers retreated to Luogu to replenish military rations.
Upon learning that the Shu soldiers had retreated, Wang Hun ordered Ailiang to lead five thousand troops to occupy Wugong County again and repair the city wall. He led 10,000 troops to station troops at Luogugukou as the first line of defense to prevent the Shu soldiers from returning. The direction of martial arts was smooth, and the Wei army in Qishan inevitably had the idea of retreating again. Huangfu Kai disagreed with the opposition and insisted on staying in Qishan to confront the Shu army.
Ten days later, Liu Chan's army gradually had reserves of food and grass, so they drove from Luo Gu to the north for the second time. Wang Hun led 10,000 Wei soldiers to line up at the entrance of the valley to resist. It was difficult for the Shu soldiers to deploy their superior forces in the valley, and several conflicts were shot back by the Wei army.
Wen Yang, Guan Yi and Liu Yin three powerful generals rushed in front of them, and the Wei army was unable to move forward like rain. Tens of thousands of troops were blocked by Wang Hun in Luo Gu. Liu Chan looked ugly and had no choice but to do anything. Wang Yue, a powerful general in the South Central, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Although this valley is steep, it will not be difficult for us to fly troops!"
Liu Chan's eyes lit up and said, "Can you climb over this valley?"
Wang Yue smiled and said, "It's not possible to climb over, but it's not difficult to find a few small paths to sneak out."
Upon hearing this, Liu Chan nodded. Although there were more than 10,000 people in the ethnic minority army that followed the north of the South Central Central, the one who could be called elite after training was the Wudang Flying Army, which was less than 1,000 people. These soldiers were carefully cultivated by Huo Yijiu Town. They were all agile and agile, and they climbed mountains and ridges like walking on flat ground. If this army looked for another way out of Luogu, they could break the Wei army's formation by attacking each other.
So Liu Chan ordered Yang Yue to lead two deputy commanders of Wudang Fei Army, the territory of Sanye, and Xi Jiao first found a way in the mountains and attacked the Wei army at the entrance of the valley. Less than a thousand Wudang Fei soldiers were wearing light armor, carrying crossbows, and their waists were tied with swords and axes. They disappeared from everyone's sight in a flash.
After about half an hour, the Wei army at the entrance of the valley began to stir up, and the Shu army had already prepared to attack and rush forward. The Wei army still resisted the enemy with bows and arrows, but the commotion behind the formation became increasingly greater. Guan Yi, Wen Yang and Liu Yin rushed forward without hesitation. However, a short time later, Liu Chan waved his sword behind him and rushed to the front line. The generals advised Liu Chan to avoid it for a while. Liu Chan said angrily: "I am the commander of the three armies, how can I retreat without fighting!" Many generals and soldiers heard about it, and were grateful to everyone for their courage to fight for the first place.
When Wang Hun saw that there was an extra team of Shu soldiers in the back formation, he couldn't help but panic. The Wei soldiers were in a mess, and one of them was accidentally rushed to the front by the Shu soldiers. The Shu army had the advantage in the hand-to-hand battle. With one move, he broke through the encirclement at the valley entrance. Seeing that things were not done, Wang Hun gathered all the defeated troops and retreated into the Wugong City.
Liu Chan's army was found out, and a breath of depression disappeared in his heart. So he summoned Yang Yue and others to reward him. Guan Yi, Wen Yang, Liu Yin and Liu Chan were divided into four sides to surround the Wugong City. Wang Hun, the general of Wei, saw the Shu army besieged the city, looked back and smiled at Ailiang, "The army of Duke Jin will arrive soon, will the Shu people throw themselves away and want to break the city?"
The Shu soldiers only besieged the city but did not attack the city. At night, the fire suddenly broke out in the city, and the east gate opened wide. Shu general Guan Yi and Wen Yang appeared in the city. Liu Yin and Fan En commanded all the troops to attack the city. The Wei army was in a panic and had no choice but to defend, and the city was in chaos. Wang Hun was woken up in his sleep. When he pushed the door out, the city was soaring into the sky, and he could not defend it.
"How could this be so?" Wang Hun thought to himself that he was resourceful, and he did not expect that the Shu army would do its tricks when retreating, and dug through several authentic tunnels to the same inside and outside.
Wei general Ailiang was on guard at night. He saw chaos in the city and led his own troops and 200 to the east gate and fled. The Shu army outside the city was only concerned about siege, but Ailiang was surprised that he rushed out of the siege with one horse. After walking for only five miles, he saw the lights in front of him and thousands of Shu soldiers blocked their way.
The Shu Lord Liu Chan covered his body with a golden armor and said, "Ignorance Wei generals, don't get off the horse and accept surrender!"
Ailiang was trapped and was exhausted. When he saw the Shu general Guan Hu guarding Liu Chan, he thought about it and had to turn over and dismount and surrender. Liu Chan got Ailiang and knew that the Wei army was in fact, so he led his troops to join the street battle in Wugong City. The battle was ten days old and the sky was dawn. In the melee, Liu Yin general Wang Hun was slashed under the horse. When the remaining Wei army saw Ailiang surrender, many of them followed him to surrender. Only hundreds of people would rather die than surrender, and were killed by the Shu soldiers.
In this battle, Wang Hun, the general of Wei, beheaded more than 5,000 people, and surrendered 7,000 horses, which was a great victory. All the ministers in Shu praised Liu Chan for his far-sighted vision, his thoughts and thoughtfulness, and made arrangements in Wugong County in advance, so that he could achieve today's great victory.
The Wei army had all its vitality here, and there were only more than 4,000 defenders in Chang'an. So Liu Chan appointed the surrendered general Aijing as the vanguard, and sent more than a thousand Shu soldiers to flee in the clothes of the Wei army. Guan Yiwenyang each led one army to chase after him, preparing to trick the city of Chang'an. Aijing knew that she had first surrendered and had to use this battle to obtain the new Shu lord, so she asked to transfer dozens of Wei soldiers to mix in her team.
According to time, it would take at least five or six days for Sima Zhao's army to arrive in Chang'an. Therefore, Liu Chan left Fei Ji to guard Wugong County, Fan Entong captured Xianyang, Huaili and other places, and led 30,000 troops to Chang'an, preparing to take the lead before Sima Zhao's reinforcements arrived.
Chang'an, the Xijing, was the gateway to Guanzhong, and there were always heavy troops stationed. However, Chen Tai and Wang Hun all led their troops to attack and were wiped out. There were only more than 4,000 defenders in Chang'an at once, and most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled. If the Shu army seized Chang'an before Sima Zhao, the land in Guanxi would be owned by the Shu army; on the contrary, if Sima Zhao rushed to Chang'an first, it is still unknown who would win the battle in Guanxi.
Liu Chan knew the importance of Chang'an, so he ignored the stability of the rear and wanted to seize Chang'an first. Occupying Chang'an would block the traffic route of the Wei army's westward advance. At that time, he left behind heavy troops to defend Chang'an City, and then returned to the army to gradually capture various counties and counties, completely capturing the two prefectures of Yongliang. Chang'an has become a stronghold and foundation, and can lead to the world, and retreat to protect the whole country. This is a strategy of becoming an invincible first. It also represents the shift of the strategic focus of Shu Han from Hanzhong to Chang'an, and he began to have the confidence to challenge Cao Wei.
The counties along the way were all confused by Ailiang and were occupied by Shu soldiers without exception. On this day, Ailiang finally fled to the city of Chang'an. Seeing the flag on the city of Chang'an from afar, Ailiang was determined to order the troops to run in a hurry, and two or three Wei soldiers ran in front and called the door.
