Chapter 4 Go north or west?

Early the next morning, Zhang Yang, Sun Jian, Tao Qian, Sun Jian and Xiahou Dun discussed the major event of going north to take the hinterland of Luoyang.

"This time I go to Luoyang, there is Dagu Pass in the west. The two powerful passes of Yique Pass are in the hands of the Xiliang army. Although the official roads there are convenient, it is easier to get from Yishui to Luoshui, which can save at least half of the itinerary-" Sun Jian rolled up his sleeves.

He pointed to the geographic map around Luoyang painted on the thin silk on the table and said with a bright look.

Everyone looked at his point and nodded silently, but Sun Jianyan stopped here, and Meifeng began to gather and said in a deep voice: "But everyone should know that when Xuanyuan Pass was broken that day, there was no

If they can catch them all in one go, there will always be fish that have escaped from Xuanyuan Pass. They will go north and west to quickly send a message... I am afraid that the Xiliang army at Luoyang and the passes of each pass have already known the situation here, and are more vigilant, just waiting for us to intercept the attack

Although the road ahead is far less than the tightly blocked Xiliang army on the eastern front and dozens or hundreds of large and small city gates, it will be difficult... I don’t know if our more than 30,000 people are waiting to leave

How much can I leave in Luoyang..."

After hearing Sun Jian's words, everyone's face sank into the water. Zhang Yang looked at the map and said in a deep voice like his eyebrows: "Then let's get rid of Dagu Pass and Yique Pass, but Yishui, let's abandon the official road and abandon the boat,

Go directly north, from Yiyang to here - the Suo family, heading northwest from the Suo family, crossing the Luo River. Then go to Yanshi, go west and go directly to Luoyang, or retreat east to Gongxian, and lead the army east

Going into Ao Cang to avoid the catastrophe, it depends on how the Xiliang army encircles and intercepts it.”

Listening to Zhang Yang's loud and vocal writing, everyone couldn't help but lean over to think about the march plan pointed out by Zhang Yang. Tao Qian looked at him and frowned and said, "Give up the official road, abandon the boat, let's go here.

It is much harder to go. Moreover, although going north can get rid of the Western Route Army's step by step, it is also closer to the Xiliang army on the eastern front in various passes. If they are entangled, it may not be better than going to the Western Route Army.

How good is it."

It seems that Tao Qian's words also expressed everyone's concerns. There are pros and cons of going west or going north. In comparison, it seems that the vague grasp of going west is bigger and there are fewer minefields to be wading through.

"The official road is not that easy to walk on..." Zhang Yang looked at the people with different expressions, then looked at the old Tao Qian, bowed to Tao Qian and said, "Yique Pass, Ogu Pass is not as good as those on the Eastern Front."

The pass where the Xiliang army was stationed."

"What's the difference?" Liu Bei asked without changing his face.

Zhang Yang looked at him and said, "Dagu Pass, Yique Pass is surrounded by continuous mountains such as Songshan, Xuanyuan Mountain, and Sanyao, and is blocked by large rivers such as Yishui and Luoshui. Hangu Pass is the western gate of Luoyang,

Mengjin Pass, Xiao Mengjin Pass is the north gate. Hulao Pass is the east gate, Xuanyuan Pass is the southwest gate, then Yique Pass and Dagu Pass are the south gate of the imperial city.

"These two passes are located in the east of the Yishui River and the other is built next to the Yishui River. The majestic is a miracle, but they have deviated from the heart of the Central Plains. Although this fierce battle is full of smoke, these two passes are still there.

, but it has not been affected much so far. Since there is no need to dispatch most of the troops to guard the army of princes, they can set up ambush around the pass with no burden, waiting for work, and blocking us layer by layer. When we go far, they

You can chase it all the way-"

"This time I go west, there must be mountains and mountains, ambushing on all sides, facing these two heroic passes step by step, and facing the resolute blow of such a strong enemy, the fat ones drag thin ones and the thin ones drag to death. In this way, Dong Zhuo does not need to be

We sent a large army to intercept us. After we arrived in Luoshui, we had no threat to them at all."

Zhang Fei, who was standing on the left of Liu Bei, listened to Zhang Yang's painful narration, stared at him with big eyes and snorted: "So what if you pile up mountains? You can poke it all the way through one step at a time. I only know if it is..."

Liu Bei glanced at him, and Zhang Fei immediately shut up. Liu Bei smiled at everyone apologized, and then bowed to Zhang Yang and asked, "Dagu, Yique's two passes are so dangerous, then... there are passes on the eastern front again

What's the difference?"

Zhang Yang said: "But the Eastern Front is facing the pursuit of hundreds of thousands of lions from each of our princes. I have no time to take care of myself. How can I have the energy to free up my hands to take care of us passers-by? If they do not care about the consequences, they will be poor for us.

Chasing and fighting hard, dividing the troops they are stationed in. If they are not careful, they will lose their city, which will lose their heads. Therefore, although there are many cities on the Eastern Front, they are unable to do anything, and they pose a threat to us.

Limited. As long as you don’t care too much, you will definitely pass through it with a thrilling moment.”

Everyone said nothing, and then Zang Lin stood up and said, "I don't think so."

Zhang Yang Yiqi looked at him and asked, "What do Shouren's opinion?"

Zang Lin bowed to Zhang Yang, then bowed to everyone, and then said solemnly: "Although Ruyi said makes some sense, it is a bit too ideal."

Zhang Yang Yiqi asked, "Shouren, let's talk."

Zang Lin glanced at him, pointed to the map and said, "It is as if it were said that the Western Liang army would be blocked by the Western Liang army with a leisurely and chasing them again and again. It is a step by step, and it is not advisable, but it may not be like going north.

As it said, it was thrilling, but also difficult."

Everyone looked at Zang Lin, and Zang Lin was a little nervous. He took a breath and continued, "You know, once Xuanyuan Pass was broken, nearly 200,000 elite Xiliang troops on the eastern front would lose their place of use.

Let our partial army approach Luoyang, this will surely shock the world. Although the Xiliang Army on the East Front is facing huge pressure from our Allied forces, don't forget that Luoyang is the imperial city, where Dong Zhuo and His Majesty and all officials are located.

Luoyang is absolutely forbidden to be thrown away by a pool of city and attack, so if you fight for the Eastern Front, Dong Zhuo will order the cities on the Eastern Front to attack us at any cost. Even if we cannot destroy us, we will hold us back and give us a

The Xiliang Army did not know that Luoyang had sufficient time to defend. At the same time, it minimized our impact on Luoyang-"

"And everyone should know that the battle situation on the Eastern Front is not so anxious now. The leader of the Alliance Yuan and the governors were stranded in Ao Cang's sour jujube for more than a month, and the Arc detention was lost again. Zhang Chao and Zhang Miao fled back in a panic.

Xu Rong and Lu Bu were able to leave the garrison calmly, bring a large army to Xuanyuan Pass, and plunder in Chenliu Yingchuan. However, the leader of the Yuan League did not move at all. What does this mean? The various troops of the jujube were in a state of mind, and each was wary of each being on guard against the plan, and they were fully committed to fighting. They hoped that they would give the East

The Xiliang Army exerted pressure to cover our arrival in the north--"

Zang Lin said this and paused before saying, "I'm afraid it's hard."

Everyone nodded, and Zhang Yang had to admit that Zang Lin's words made some sense.

In history, Dong Zhuo faced the powerful offensive of the Allied forces, despite the opposition of the crowd and proposed to move the capital to Chang'an. This shows that Dong Zhuo was most concerned about his own safety and did not care about the gains and losses of the city.

Therefore, as Zang Lin said, Dong Zhuo was shaking the entire line of the east line, and it would be very likely that the Xiliang army would pursue Zhang Yang, a partial division. Even if the situation was bad, it would be impossible to move the capital.

In addition, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu had already had a different dream with the princes. A group of people sat in the base camp and stared at them. They didn't go to save the Arc destiny, and Xu Rong left Xingyang and did not take advantage of the situation to attack. He hoped that such a group of internal strife would be the first to fight.

It is probably difficult for a group of people to cooperate with each other.

Zhang Yang pondered for a moment, then nodded, bowed to Zang Lin and smiled sincerely: "Thank you for reminding me that Liu Yang took it for granted."

Zang Lin was so busy that he dared not dare. Tao Qian looked at his student's words and said something amazing. He was very proud of the situation. He couldn't help but feel relieved. He looked at Zang Lin with satisfaction and nodded, and then asked softly: "Shouren, go to this."

If you have any ideas, tell me everyone."

Zang Lin nodded and bowed to Tao Qian and said, "My thought is--" As he said that, he glanced at Zhang Yang, and then said, "I want Ruyi people to go north with great fanfare, causing shock to the world. Dong Zhuo and the Xiliang Army

We will definitely focus our attention on the military northwards, and we never imagined that there was another side army that had not yet been dispatched. At that time, the alert on the Western Front would inevitably be greatly relaxed. At that time, we suddenly went westward and the official road was unobstructed.

The boats and horses are extremely convenient. When we discovered our movements at Yige Pass, we wanted to block them, but we didn't have time to deal with them calmly. As always, we could pass through the barriers of the two passes at the speed of thunder and approach Luoyang directly

——”

As he said that, he bowed to Tao Qian regardless of Zhang Yang's somewhat dark face and bowed to everyone, saying, "In this way, great things can be accomplished."

Zhang Yang looked at Zang Lin, who looked righteous and dedicated to his public, cursed in his heart: "I didn't expect that you are so cruel. When did I offend you? I'll take this opportunity to mess with me, but I won't be yours."

Everyone listened to Zang Lin’s sincere advice and kept silent. Tao Qian looked at Zang Lin, looked at Zhang Yang again, and hesitated for a while, and finally smiled bitterly at Zang Lin: "Shouren's plan is feasible...but this is the case.

First of all, those who go north will have many difficulties and endless bloody battles... how can you bear it..."

Zang Lin said to Tao Qian with a righteous spirit: "Sacrifice for the country, the man does what he does."

Zhang Yang looked at his appearance and cursed in his heart: "You go and say nothing, I'm going to die, despicable."

Sun Jian and Xiahou Dun looked at each other, and both looked at Tao Qian and Zang Lin who were discussing quietly, and then they all looked at Zhang Yang with sympathy. Zhang Yang became even more angry.

But Tao Qian stood up kindly and said to Zhang Yang: "Xuanyuan Pass is not easy to get, it is like a great achievement. Although I have seen the number of people and traveled all over the world, it is rare to be as handsome as a person."

I don't want to eat this, you teachers and students wear a pair of pants, give me all the dangerous tasks, and leave the credit to yourself, thinking beautifully

"Mr. Tao is too proud, Liu Yang is just a person with shallow knowledge. He can't afford to be a good person." Zhang Yang was angry, but he could never lose his etiquette in the face of elders.

What a person Tao Qian, he saw through Zhang Yang's words at first sight, and laughed: "No need to worry, I don't have time to cherish those who are kind-hearted and ambitious who are fighting for the great man. How can you suffer a loss and kill you?"

Zhang Yang was stunned, looked at Tao Qian's frank gaze and said in his heart, "Can you make a hammer and want to eat the radish?"

Sure enough, Tao Qian said: "This time the captives are captured, just like one is just choosing. In addition--"

Tao Qian paused, looked at Zhang Yang and sighed, "I have been exhausted from Xuzhou and cannot afford to travel far away. But Xuanyuan Pass sacrificed tens of thousands of children to capture him, so he naturally cannot go to the building.

I am empty and ignored. I cannot go north to serve the king, but I stay here and keep this retreat while cultivating and keeping this way for everyone, but I will still succeed.”

Everyone was stunned. Tao Qian looked at Zhang Yang and continued, "Ruyi, although he was safe to go north and could not help anything else, he was willing to go to the sour jujube with shamelessness. He wanted to let go with his old face and persuade the leader Yuan and others to go for the time being.

Give up their grudges, cherish the opportunity in front of you, and rush forward to the west, put pressure on the Western Liang army's army to the west, so that Ruyi can be less trouble-"

Zhang Yang did not expect that Tao Qian's conditions this time hit his weakness.

Now he only has two thousand troops, which is nothing in troubled times. Now he has the opportunity to give priority to replenishing elites and strengthen his strength. He really refuses

Moreover, Tao Qian's honest elder style was not moved. Tao Qian suffered enough to fight against the thief. Compared with his own opportunistic approach and taking advantage of all his advantages, Tao Qian can be regarded as diligent and dedicated.

A gentleman of the country. The strategy of going north was proposed by himself. Now that someone has promised such generous compensation, he has promised to solve his worries. If he refuses again, he may not only offend them, but also be looked down upon and suspected of himself.

character.

If you are afraid of heavy things, you will be placing your own calculations on your head, and it will be difficult to get through in the future.

Damn, isn’t it just a war? Fighting is just an elite soldier. A hundred battles are elite soldiers. No one is tempered by blood and fire. I’m afraid of fighting, so don’t come to this chaotic world.

Zhang Yang quickly considered gains and losses, and then, in the expectant eyes, he straightened his chest without hesitation, and clasped his fists to Tao Qian and said loudly: "I'm not afraid of being broken bones. I'm using my blood to get rid of it as soon as possible.

The traitor, in order to restore the Han Dynasty, even if Liu Yang was cut into pieces, what's wrong with Liu Yang's willingness to go?"

"Okay, okay," Tao Qian said three good words in a row, and walked forward with excitement and touching expressions, holding his gauntlet hand tightly, shaking it while saying in a trembling voice: "Ruyi, I thank you on behalf of the great man for everyone in the world for remembering it.

Live as one for the country, the people and the country.”

Zhang Yang also answered sincerely, but thought to himself: "Don't forget to let Yuan Shao and the others cover me in the west, otherwise they might be defeated before they even arrived in Luoyang."

Just as Zhang Yang and Tao Qian were singing together, Liu Bei stood up and bowed to the two: "Liu Bei is willing to walk with Ru"

Zhang Yang was stunned, but how could he refuse the kindness of others, so he had to thank him.

After a while, Xiahou Dun said that he would go with him, and Sun Jian's Jiangdong army had to rest on the spot for a while because they had been fighting for too long, and then followed Zang Lin to Luoyang.

Zhang Yang and Xiahou Dun were talking about many things after going north, but they heard Liu Bei call them from behind: "Ruyi, Yuan Rang, please stay."

Seeing Liu Bei and the other two walking towards each other with a smile, Zhang Fei smiled even more, Zhang Yang said, "What's the matter with Xuande?"

Liu Bei glanced at Zhang Fei, who was a little shy, and said to Zhang Yang with a spring breeze: "We are all from the same hometown, and we are of the same clan, so we are naturally a family. Now Liu Bei wants to marry Ruyi, but I wonder what Ruyi wants to do?"
