Chapter 289

Gao Changgong followed Danshui to the outside of Wuguan, but he did not attack Wuguan directly.If you attack directly, you won't be able to win Wuguan. No matter what you say, Wuguan is a majestic pass. As long as you close the door and block it, it will be too difficult to attack.

So Gao Changgong was not in a hurry to attack the city, but used the most common method among Zhang Yi's army to send people into Wuguan.

A day later, Gao Changgong took the cavalry early in the morning and slowly saw Wuguan, and he was not found until more than one mile away.

The defenders at Wuguan saw the cavalry from a distance, immediately rang the gong, and then shouted loudly: "Close the city gate quickly, there are enemy troops!"

The defenders at the city gate heard the shouts from the city and ran into the city gate quickly, trying to push the gate shut.But at this moment, an army suddenly came out near the city gate and began to kill the defenders directly.The defenders were caught off guard and soon suffered all casualties.

Gao Changgong heard the sound of the gong on the city from a distance, and immediately waved his spear and said loudly: "Advance faster, we will enter Wuguan!"

The cavalry accelerated, and after a cup of tea, they rushed to the gate of Wuguan City.After rushing into Wuguan, Gao Changgong immediately separated the army: "Destroy all the enemies!"

Gao Changgong took over the gate of Wuguan and stood on the top of the city to command the army to control Wuguan.Wuguan is not a big place and there are not many defenders. Gao Changgong quickly captured Wuguan completely.

After capturing Wuguan, Gao Changgong immediately sent a letter to Li Jing asking him to send troops over.After taking Wuguan, it is equivalent to opening the way to enter Guanzhong.

Li Jing got the news from Gao Changgong in Wancheng, and called Liao Hua directly.Among the many talents found in Jingzhou, Li Jing is still very optimistic about Liao Hua. Although his background is not very high, he is very alert.He said to Liao Hua: "The lord has always been a meritocracy. I am very optimistic about your ability. Now that Gao Changgong has taken Wuguan, now I need you to guard Wuguan. I will give you three thousand infantry. You have Are you sure?"

Liao Hua was very excited, he never thought that he would receive such an important task.In the past, he might have been very excited, but after half a year of training, he has calmed down a lot.He also became more confident, and he said to Li Jing, "The final general will definitely defend Wuguan."

Li Jing nodded, "The land of Wuguan is very important. In the future, when we attack Guanzhong, we will definitely go from here, so you must ensure that Wuguan is not lost."

Liao Hua quickly promised, "If the last general loses Wuguan, he will be willing to be a military commander!"

Li Jing shook his head and said, "These promises are useless, I want to see what you do. Go!"

Liao Hua led the troops to Wuguan, and after arriving at Wuguan, he handed over to Gao Changgong.

After the handover, Liao Hua asked Gao Changgong, "Is General Gao going back to Wancheng?"

Gao Changgong said, "No, I'm going to attack Shang County."

Liao Hua was stunned, and asked puzzledly, "Although Guanzhong doesn't have many soldiers and horses, it's impossible to attack with three thousand cavalry, right?"

Gao Changgong shook his head, "I am not going to attack Guanzhong, but to attack Hanzhong!"

"A raid on Hanzhong?" Liao Hua looked at Gao Changgong in surprise, "Is General Gao going to Ziwu Valley?"

Gao Changgong nodded, "That's right! I just want to go to Meridian Valley!"

"General Di has already captured Shangyong. I need to go to Ziwu Valley to make a big splash and pretend to be the main force of Cao's army, so as to attract the main force of Hanzhong and create opportunities for General Di."

"So that's how it is!" Liao Hua was stunned, but he was still a little worried, "From Wuguan to Ziwu Valley, you need to go to Shang County and Shangluo to enter Lantian. The road is hundreds of miles long. What if Cao Jun intercepts it?"

Gao Changgong smiled proudly, "Although our army does not have as many cavalry as Cao Jun, I can still escape a hundred miles away."

Gao Changgong set off from Wuguan and went straight to Shang County.Liao Hua stepped up the construction of Wuguan and strengthened its defense.Because Wuguan is more about defending the soldiers of Nanyang, Liao Hua needs to defend the direction of Guanzhong. Wuguan cannot be raised, but it can increase the defense materials and increase the difficulty of attacking the city in the direction of Guanzhong.

Xuchang, Cao Hong returned to Xuchang with more than 3000 cavalry. Xun Yu was surprised when he saw Cao Hong returning after a big defeat: "Why is General Cao so defeated?"

Cao Hong dejectedly explained to Xun Yu: "I fell into the trap of the enemy. When I was stationed in Bowang, Master Shang and his disciples led the army to capture Ye County and march towards Xuchang. We know that Master Shang Shu can persist for a while. Time, I was afraid that we would be ambushed by the enemy when we marched in a hurry. But the enemy seemed to know that we did not march in a hurry, and ambushed us in a forest in Duyang. We were very careful, but we were still attacked by the enemy. The enemy divided into several groups, we Each time the organization regrouped, but each time it was quickly overwhelmed."

When Xun Yu heard this, he also felt helpless, "The enemy is deliberately luring the general to retreat."

Cao Hong said a little aggrieved: "I'm not afraid that Xuchang will fall!"

Xun Yu could only shake his head, of course he knew Cao Hong was worried.There are not many defenders in Xuchang City anymore. Cao Cao's army is training in Jizhou, and there are only more than 3 defenders in Xuchang.After Cao Hong took away 1, only [-] were left in Xuchang.With [-] people to defend Xuchang, it can actually be defended, but what Cao Hong is worried about is that if Zhang Yi's army appears outside Xuchang City, there will definitely be chaos in Xuchang City.

Once chaos broke out in Xuchang, Cao Cao's hard work over the years would be in vain.Although Cao Hong's ability is not very good, he only thinks about Cao Cao.

But a defeat is a defeat, so Xun Yu had no choice but to say: "I will report this matter to my lord, and how to deal with it is entirely up to my lord to decide."

Cao Hong looked at Xun Yu resentfully, but didn't say anything.He is vulgar, and many people look down on him, but Xun Yu is a modest gentleman, and he has never shown any dislike for him.It's just that Cao Hong didn't dare to see Xun Yu anymore, it was too embarrassing.

The so-called courage after knowing shame, Cao Hong decided to be cautious in the future, and would never make this mistake again.

After Li Jing from Wancheng dispatched Liao Hua, he once again sent news to Di Qing from Shangyong.After Di Qing received the news, he summoned Wei Yan and Lu Xun to discuss: "Li Yaoshi sent the news that Gao Changgong has captured Wuguan, and he should enter the Ziwu Valley soon. We have to start preparing."

Wei Yan asked for orders immediately: "Master, let me monitor Zhang Lu!"

Di Qing looked at Wei Yan, scrutinized it before nodding and said: "I'll give you 1000 people. One thing is to make sure that all Zhang Lujun's movements are captured."

Wei Yan immediately said happily: "The last general will definitely complete the task."
