Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 329

Jieting, also known as Jiequan Pavilion.This is one of the two must-pass roads from Guanzhong to Xiliang, and has always been a battleground for military strategists.

From Guanzhong to Liangzhou, there are two roads, one is the road between Chencang and Shangyu, but this road has been blocked by Xue Rengui and Ma Chao.In addition, this road is next to Sanguan, which can be cut off by Zhang Yijun at any time, and Cao Cao will definitely not go from here.

Cao Cao pursued Ma Chao from Beidi and Anding, so Jieting became the most suitable road for Cao Cao.

Han Sui was quite embarrassed when he received Ma Chao's letter.But his counselor Cheng Gongying persuaded him to accept Ma Chao's proposal: "The reason why the lord and Ma Mengqi failed was because of internal discord. Although the lord had more military strength before, it was almost the same as Ma Mengqi. I am not convinced of the lord. Now that Zhang Yi's subordinates are intervening, and the army is directly above the lord and Ma Mengqi, Ma Mengqi will not dare to make mistakes. The lord can cooperate with him to defeat Cao Cao and keep the lord's position in Liangzhou. "

Han Sui said: "Zhang Yi must be interested in Liangzhou. Will he allow us to be in Liangzhou?"

Cheng Gongying said: "For the time being, we will not have any conflict with Zhang Yi. After Cao Cao is defeated, my lord can lead troops into Guanzhong with Ma Mengqi. As long as they can gain a foothold in Guanzhong, does my lord still care about Xiliang?"

Han Sui still had some hesitation: "I'm afraid that Zhang Yi will turn his back on him."

Cheng Gongying said: "Although we haven't heard much about Zhang Yi's deeds, there are no rumors that Zhang Yi is a treacherous person."

Han Sui nodded. As the saying goes, good deeds never go out and bad deeds travel thousands of miles. Not hearing any bad rumors about Zhang Yi is the greatest guarantee for Zhang Yi's character.Han Sui then agreed to Ma Chao's proposal and marched into Long County.After arriving in Long County, he joined Yan Yan and the others.

After all, Han Sui has been famous for a long time, and Yan Yan is also a famous general in Shu, and the two are evenly matched when they talk.Although Han Sui's official position is higher than that of Yan Yan, he still needs to listen to Yan Yan's opinion now, and Yan Yan did not embarrass Han Sui, and also attaches great importance to the opinions of Cheng Gongying and others.

On the day of the meeting, Cheng Gongying suggested: "Jieting has always been a battleground for military strategists. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If our army defends Jieting, it will prevent Cao Cao from entering Liangzhou. Cao Cao's troops are far away. The grain consumption is very high, if it is not allowed for two or three months, Cao Cao will definitely withdraw his troops."

After Yan Yan heard this, she immediately felt that this strategy was very good, and immediately led the army to Jieting with Han Sui.There were mountains on both sides of the street pavilion, so Yan Yan asked Han Sui to guard one mountain and Wang Ping to guard the other.Because of the strong wind on the mountain, Yan Yan took out ten thousand down jackets from his supplies and gave them to Han Sui, asking him to distribute them to his subordinates.

After Yan Yan and others set up camp, Cao Cao's army arrived.Because the road was too far, Cao Cao did not bring too many troops, but only [-] troops, including Xia Houyuan and Zhang Ying, leaving Xu Huang to garrison in Guanzhong to prevent Zhang Yi's army from Hanzhong from suddenly breaking out and capturing Guanzhong.He didn't want Zhang Yi to pick peaches from the fruit tree he had finally planted.

Cao Cao originally wanted to capture Han Sui and Ma Chao in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect that he would encounter Zhang Yi's army just before entering Liangzhou.He felt very angry when he saw the biggest Chinese flag on Yan Yan's camp.

Although he was angry, Cao Cao did not attack. His army had marched hundreds of miles and was already tired.Moreover, the enemy's three military camps are very close to each other, and it doesn't take a cup of tea to support each other. Moreover, from the mountains on both sides, you can shoot directly onto the road with a crossbow.It is not advisable to attack the main camp on the road, but it is also not advisable to attack the big camps on the mountains on both sides. The mountains are a bit steep, and attacking the big camp on the mountains will definitely cause heavy losses.

It is also impossible to cut off the water source on the mountain, because the ruling camp will not allow it, and the water source on the mountain is also transported up from the ruling camp.

Cao Cao tried to attack for two days, but was easily repelled.

At this moment, Wei Rui rushed over with 7000 troops and entered Yan Yan's camp.

Wei Rui did not bring all the soldiers and horses, nor did he bring all the generals, only Zhang Jiayu.Zhu Huan, Chen Bangyan, and Chen Zizhuang all stayed in Jixian.Because they also want to recruit Hanyang and Longxi counties.

Zhu Huan and Chen Bangyan led 4000 people westward into Longxi County, went to Xiangwu and Zhang counties, and then split up with Chen Bangyan. He led 500 people to Shouyang north, Angu west, and Didao north.Di Dao was the seat of Longxi. After arriving in Didao, Zhu Huan stationed there, and then sent someone to invite Kuai Yue, the prefect of Longxi.

In fact, there were four counties west of Didao that belonged to Longxi County, but Zhu Huan did not continue westward.Because these four counties are now the sphere of influence of another Xiliang warlord, Song Jian. Song Jian had already gathered thousands of people in Pouhan, and they have been in the Pouhan area, reaching Baishi in the south, Daxia in the east, and Heguan in the north. .Song Jian was different from Han Sui, Ma Chao and others. He stayed in the Pouhan area and never went to other places. He became the local emperor in the Pouhan area.

Chen Bangyan went south to Lintao, taking 1000 people with him and stationed in Lintao.Lintao has always set up the southern captaincy because there are many Qiang settlements nearby, including Longsang City, Wangqu Valley, Suoxi City, and Wujiju in Xiangwu, all of which are Qiang gathering places.Therefore, troops needed to be stationed here, so the Southern School Captain Department was set up in Lintao, and Chen Bangyan was the candidate to temporarily act as the Southern School Lieutenant.

After Kuai Yue arrived in Didao, he immediately began to farm in Longxi.There are many fertile fields in Longxi, and Sima Yi used to farm in Longxi as a logistics base against Zhuge Liang.Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition was blocked in Hanzhong many times, and Longxi's role was indispensable.

Chen Zizhuang also led 500 people from Ji County to Pingxiang in the north, then attacked Ayang, attacked Chengji in the south, and then returned to Ji County from Xianqin.Since then, only Warrior County in the northwest has not won.Because the warrior was too far away from Pingxiang, about two hundred miles away, and very close to Jincheng County, Han Sui's hometown, in order not to arouse Han Sui's vigilance, Li Hongzhang did not let Chen Zizhuang attack the warrior.

Winning Hanyang and Longxi is equivalent to winning the most elite areas in Liangzhou. These two places not only have a lot of arable land, but also the only way to pass the Silk Road.Although the Silk Road has stopped now, it is still the richest place in Liangzhou.

Of the ten counties in Liangzhou, three counties have been won, and Li Hongzhang has also started the development plan of Liangzhou.The main function of Liangzhou is actually the Silk Road.However, the Silk Road cannot be opened for the time being, and the road to the Western Regions can only be opened after Liangzhou is completely captured.
