Liu Chan glanced at Wei Yan and couldn't help but admire him secretly.
When I read historical materials in my previous life, I just felt that Wei Yan was a fierce general, or a brave and foolhardy general.
But at this moment, he knew.
Wei Yan——
It’s rare to find a handsome and talented person.
Not only is he brave, but his strategy is also good.
However, Wei Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time, not because the emperor forgave his sins, but because of the plan for this battle.
Just when the army came to Jinyang.
He was actually a little worried. After all, how could 30,000 cavalry attack a city with 20,000 defenders? And there were tens of thousands of reinforcements surrounding the city.
Just——
Wei Yan is naturally adventurous.
The city cannot be captured with cavalry, but the city must be captured, and it must be captured quickly, otherwise the Han army will most likely face the danger of being annihilated.
You must know that Jinzhong is not the only city in Jinyang. There are also Yanmen County, Shangdang County, and Hedong County nearby. Cao Wei's heavy troops are stationed in these places.
Once the Wei armies in these places learned that the Han army was approaching Jinyang, how could they ignore it and allow the Han army to attack Jinyang City?
Perhaps before the Han army arrived in Jinyang, Chen Tai of Jinyang had already spread the news that the Han army had arrived in central Jinyang to the surrounding counties.
I also thought of this.
Wei Yan had a plan.
The day before, the Han army did not make any moves and was stationed quietly outside Jinyang City. It was not until the night of the first day that he detached 10,000 cavalry and then divided the 10,000 cavalry into three groups.
One road was deployed on the way of the Wei army from Shangdang County, and the other road was deployed on the way of the Wei army from Hedong County.
Blocking these two Wei army reinforcements will at least slow down their advance.
The third group of 3,000 people pretended to be reinforcements from the Wei army.
Late at night on September 21st.
Three thousand Han troops pretended to be reinforcements from the Wei army and began to attack the Han army's rear camp.
Of course, in order to act realistically, Wei Yan only let Tian Mu in the rear camp know about this plan. As for the Han troops in the front camp of the middle camp, he did not know about it.
When 3,000 Han troops pretending to be reinforcements from the Wei army appeared in the rear camp, Tian Mu immediately led his soldiers and generals, along with 3,000 fake Wei troops, to start setting fire to the rear camp.
Tian Mu cooperated very well and confused the Han troops in the front camp of the middle camp. At least Liu Chan who was in the middle camp was deceived.
He really thought that reinforcements from the Wei army had arrived.
Even Liu Chan was deceived. As for the Wei army in Jinyang City, how could they not be deceived when they saw a sudden killing spree in the Han camp outside the city?
Keeping Liu Chan and the front and middle battalions from knowing is also the key to this plan.
Because if Liu Chan knew about it, they might not be able to act well during the chaos. If they didn't act well, Chen Tai might also find flaws.
Wei Yan just wants Chen Tai to know.
Emperor Liu Chan of the Han Dynasty is outside Jinyang City at the moment.
Using the emperor as bait, how could Chen Tai not be fooled?
Luring Chen Tai out of the city is also the ultimate goal of this plan.
As the saying goes, if you are reluctant to let go of your children, you will not be able to trap the wolf.
He couldn't bear to leave the emperor, so naturally he couldn't lure Chen Tai out of the city.
But by the time Chen Tai reacted, it was already too late.
......
At this time, the battle was over, so Wei Yan naturally had to plead guilty to the emperor. As a general, he actually used the emperor as bait.
Have you eaten the courage of a leopard?
But, is Liu Chan that kind of ignorant monarch?
"Wei Aiqing!" Liu Chan said with a smile: "Aiqing's plan is very clever, I will use it more in the future, hahaha!"
Seeing that the emperor was not angry, Wei Yan said: "Your Majesty, I have no choice but to adopt this strategy." He paused and then said: "Our army raided Jinzhong, and it is really a bad idea for the cavalry to attack the city by force. If it delays the day
Soon, Cao Wei's reinforcements from all walks of life will surely arrive in droves."
"Yeah!" Liu Chan nodded and said, "What Aiqing said is absolutely true."
"Shangdang, Wei soldiers from the east of Hedong;" Liu Chan said worriedly: "Ai Qing, how do you think we can stop them?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty!" Wei Yan said: "Jinyang has been captured by our army. Now even if the Wei army's reinforcements attack, our army can hold on to the city."
"Oh???" Liu Chan said, "What if the Wei army besieges the city for a long time?"
When Wei Yan heard this, he waved his hand, then walked towards the map, and said with a smile: "Jinyang is backed by Longshan. Our army only needs to deploy one troop in Longshan, and our army can advance, attack, and retreat to defend."
"It is basically impossible for the Wei army to trap our army to death."
When Liu Chan heard this, he also went over to look at Jinyang's geographical location.
To the west of Jinyang, there is a mountain range called Longshan.
Longshan was originally the dividing line between Han and Wei. To the west of Longshan was Shangjun of the Han Dynasty, and to the east of Longshan was the Jinzhong Basin of Cao Wei.
"Okay!" Liu Chan was immediately overjoyed: "With this strong city and the danger of Longshan Mountain, I have nothing to worry about."
Knowing that the Han army would not fall into the dilemma of being surrounded by Wei troops, Liu Chan also looked at the map carefully, and then said seriously: "Wei Aiqing, please quickly send troops and horses to capture Mengxian, Leping, and Jieshan."
p>
Meng County is located in the north of Jinyang, and is the throat of the Wei army in Yanmen County rushing to Jinyang; Leping County is the only way to block the Wei army in Shangdang County; as for Jieshan, it is where the Wei army in Hedong County is blocked.
As long as troops and horses are stationed in these three places, it will be difficult for Cao Wei's reinforcements to rush to Jinyang quickly, and the Han army can take the opportunity to digest the land in Jinzhong.
As soon as Liu Chan finished speaking, Wei Yan said with a smile: "Reporting to your majesty, I have sent three thousand soldiers and horses to Leping and Boundary Mountain yesterday. If there are no accidents, these two places should be owned by my big man."
As he spoke, he glanced at Meng County, nodded and said, "It's just that Jinyang was not captured before, just to prevent Chen Tai from being suspicious, and Wei Chen has not yet cared about this place."
"But Yanmen is still far away from Jinyang, and it's not too late to send troops now."
After Wei Yan finished speaking, he immediately ordered: "Tian Mu!"
Tian Mu responded and said: "The general is here!"
"Hongyi!" Wei Yan said: "You will immediately lead five thousand light cavalry to capture Meng County."
"No!"
Tian Mu happily accepted the order and was about to leave when Wei Yan said again: "Meng County is related to the safety of Jinyang. After you occupy Meng County, you must guard it to the death."
"You will eventually understand!"
Tian Mu responded and left the house to lead his troops northward.

Although soldiers and horses have been sent to the three passes, Liu Chan and Wei Yan are still a little worried. After all, there are only 30,000 soldiers and horses in Jinzhong at this moment. After the previous fight with Chen Tai, although they lost not much
Although there were many, two to three thousand people were lost.
"Your Majesty!" Wei Yan said: "Can you send people back to Beijing and quickly send more troops and horses to Jinzhong?"
Now Jinyang has been captured, but the Han army does not fully control the entire Jinzhong, and danger may still occur at any time.
Wei Yan now needs a large number of troops.
However, Liu Chan said with a smile: "Don't worry, I love you. I only need to stick to Jinyang for ten days, and my reinforcements from the Han Dynasty will definitely arrive in Jinzhong."
"Really?"
Wei Yan was overjoyed when he heard this.
Liu Chan nodded slightly and said: "When I left Liangzhou, I asked Commander Zhao to lead Wanqi back to Chang'an, pretending to save Wuguan."
"Wuguan is a high-walled and dangerous pass. Xu Aiqing must have sent more troops to guard it." Liu Chan said, "When our army left Shangjun, we did not receive news of the fall of Wuguan. I think Wuguan is still comforted."
"Yes!" Wei Yan also nodded in approval.
Liu Chan went on to say: "Before Zhao Tong left, I had told him that if Wuguan was not lost, Xu Shu could send troops out of Pubanjin to attack Hedong."
!!!
This shocked Wei Yan.
I thought that this emperor, like him, liked adventure.
Thinking that Cao Wei will attack Wuguan and the Han army will send troops to attack Jinzhong, if Sima Yi learns that Jinyang has been lost, he will definitely withdraw his troops from Wuguan and come to rescue Jinyang. In this way, the siege of Wuguan will be lifted immediately, and the Han and Wei armies will be in Jinyang.
Start fighting.
Placing the battlefield in the land of Cao Wei is much better than placing the battlefield in Guanzhong.
But——
Only now did he know that the emperor's intention to send troops this time was not just to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, but to seize the opportunity to capture Cao Wei's territory.
Just being in Jinzhong seems not enough to satisfy his appetite.
People who were as surprised as Wei Yan were the imperial censor Xu Shu in Chang'an.
A few days ago, before the Battle of Jinyang broke out, Commander Zhao led Wanqi back to Chang'an. As soon as he saw Xu Shu, he said bluntly: "Xu Yushi, your Majesty has led an army to attack Cao Wei's Jinzhong."<
/p>
"What...what...what?" Xu Shu was stunned.
"Your Majesty has sent troops to attack Cao Wei's Jinzhong." Zhao Tong repeated.
"Before leaving, Your Majesty told the general," Zhao Tong said, "Cao Wei ignored the alliance and invaded the territory of our Han Dynasty. Our Han Dynasty will definitely give him a heavy blow."
What is this all about?
Xu Shu was a little annoyed.
Is now the time to care?
Shouldn't we first find a way to repel Sima Yi outside Wuguan?
"Your Majesty has sent troops to Jinzhong." Zhao Tong continued: "Your Majesty will return to Chang'an at the end of the day. If Wuguan is safe, please ask the censor to mobilize troops and horses immediately to attack Cao Wei's Hedong. In this way, we can attack with your Majesty from front to back and pacify Jin.
The land east of Zhonghe."
Nima——
This emperor???
Xu Shu suddenly felt a pain in his head.
Perhaps at this moment, he could understand what it was like a few years ago when Prime Minister Zhuge Liang was leaving Qishan in the north and suddenly learned that the emperor's troops had left Ziwu Valley.
The emperor is too courageous and likes to go deep alone.
"Your father is guarding Wuguan, so he's fine!" Xu Shu said speechlessly: "Your Majesty's army is going deep into the middle of Jin alone. It's very critical."
"Tong Zhao!" Xu Shu said again: "You will immediately lead your army out of Pubanjin and attack Hedong County. I will then send troops to reinforce you."
"You must remember this!" Xu Shu continued: "When you send troops to Hedong this time, you want to create a great momentum and make the Wei army think that this is the main force of our Han Dynasty."
"No!"
Watching Zhao Tong leave, Xu Shu broke into cold sweat on his forehead.
Heart——
I hope that your majesty is fine, and that the Wei army believes that Zhao Tong is the main force of our Han Dynasty.
Zhao Tong led 10,000 Han troops with light cavalry, and rushed to Hedong County in a hurry. Just after leaving Pubanjin, there was a small road to Anyi, the seat of Hedong County, but Zhao Tong gave up taking the small road and approached Anyi City, and chose to take the main road.
They were afraid that the Wei army would not know that the Han army was coming.
On the other side, Xu Shu urgently ordered Liao Hua, the guard of Tongguan, to immediately send troops to seize Fenglingdu in addition to strictly guarding Tongguan.
Fenglingdu is a pass of the Yellow River. Once the war breaks out in Hedong County, Luoyang will definitely send troops to reinforce Hedong immediately, and Fenglingdu is one of the only passages for Luoyang to march through.
At the same time, 10,000 elite troops were transferred from Wuguan, as well as 15,000 garrison troops from Chang'an, and the last 5,000 people from Lantian, totaling 30,000 people, were all transferred to Hedong.
Counting the 10,000 fine cavalry that Zhao Tong had previously led, the Han Dynasty sent a total of 40,000 troops to Anyi City in Cao Wei's Hedong County.
Noon on September 22nd.
The Battle of Hedong between Han and Wei dynasties - broke out.
