Compared with the muddy ground near Wugong Water, which makes it difficult to walk, the autumn air is crisp and the ground is dry near the river, making it very suitable for marching.
The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty kept on tightening the siege of Qin Lang, but he was very worried in his heart, fearing that Governor Feng was eager to cross the river and accidentally fell into Sima Yi's trap.
Little did he know that Governor Feng stood by the river and thought about the meaning of life and the future of the great man.
Then we came to a conclusion: the future governance of the Han Dynasty is far more important than the current crossing of the river.
So with a wave of his hand, Liu Hun was asked to lead his troops and fight directly back to Hedong.
There are three places in the world that produce sulfur ores. Hanzhong was originally the territory of the Han Dynasty, and Liangzhou is also the territory of the Han Dynasty now.
Only Bingzhou, which has the largest output and the highest value, is left and has not yet been controlled by the Han Dynasty.
However, Hedong next to Bingzhou is actually a gathering place for aristocratic families. How can you tolerate this?
The decisive battle in Guanzhong, it was a fateful showdown, the reincarnation of history, what does it have to do with me, the governor of Liangzhou?
I'm not bragging, the prime minister can defeat Sima Yi even under disadvantageous conditions, let alone now that he has a strong army and strong horses?
Taking advantage of this lawless opportunity, first kill some wealthy families and lay the foundation for future governance. That is what the Liangzhou governor should do.
After arranging everything, Governor Feng asked someone to bring a small horse trap and start fishing.
It is said that the carp in the Yellow River have bright color, tender meat and fragrant smell. Our ancestors have a saying that "if they eat fish, they must eat the carp in the river".
Now that we’ve come here, how can we not give it a try?
Of course, Governor Feng did not just do it for fishing.
After all, by leading some troops to guard the river, it would be easier to keep track of the situation east of the river at any time.
Moreover, on the side of Hedong, there is Jiang Ji hiding in Zhiguan. He may come out and bite him at any time, so he has to guard against this.
Therefore, Governor Feng had to ensure the safety of his own retreat.
After debuting for more than ten years, you can't let me be cut off every time I fight, right?
Even a fool will have conditioned reflexes after being cut off so many times.
Do you think a dignified Liangzhou governor looks like a fool?
As for the second reason, Governor Feng led some troops to guard the east bank, so that they could coordinate with General Guan who had already crossed the river to prevent any unexpected events.
The last reason is also the most important reason:
The Liangzhou army fought from Liangzhou to Hedong in one go, which was far enough.
The so-called powerful crossbow cannot penetrate silk.
At that time, Cao Renqi also ordered the tiger and leopard cavalry to march forcefully, chasing Liu Bei all the way, hoping to complete the victory in one battle, but in the end she was disgraced and missed the opportunity to unify the world.
We must learn a lesson now, be steady, don't be anxious, and trust the Prime Minister.
If the guess is correct, the troops in Zhiguan should be Wei's strategic mobile force assembled from Hebei.
As a result, it is impossible for the Wei thieves to have enough reinforcements to enter Bingzhou from the north.
Therefore, as long as you squat in the strategic location of Hedong, you can threaten the back roads in Guanzhong to the west, and you can threaten Luoyang in the Central Plains to the east.
When the time comes, let alone Sima Yi having the courage to stay in Guanzhong and not leave, even if Cao Rui of Luoyang can sleep peacefully, he will be considered powerful.
As for whether Sima Yi can escape from the Prime Minister's hands, that's not important.
According to the current situation, as long as we fight steadily, Guanzhong, Bingzhou, and Hedong will all be in the hands of the Han sooner or later.
As long as these three lands are truly recovered, the Han Dynasty will have all the terrain advantages in the world.
The Wei bandits in the east and the Wu bandits in the south took jujube pills.
Governor Feng was holding the fishing rod leisurely and was thinking carefully about whether there was anything he had missed in his arrangement. Suddenly he felt his hand sinking and subconsciously raised his wrist.
It didn’t come up, it looks like it’s a big fish!
He quickly stood up, held the rod in both hands, and began to walk the fish in a figure eight.
If the fish goes to the left, pull the rod to the right. If the fish goes to the right, pull the rod to the left and pull it vertically.
After a while, a big fish began to emerge from the water.
Governor Feng's sharp eyes saw clearly the big fish showing his true face, and he shouted on the spot: "What a guy!"
It turned out to be a big carp with golden scales and a red tail.
Governor Feng had the opportunity to take a break from his busy schedule and fish in front of the battle line, which was certainly not arrogant.
Instead, General Guan had already seized the ferry, allowing the Liangzhou Army to completely take the initiative and move freely between the rivers.
There is a saying that a family with a good wife will not suffer disaster, but Governor Feng said that the situation is too small.
If you have a good wife at home and you can win at home, that's called true love.
Do you understand that soft food is hard to eat?
General Guan, who didn't feel that he was being taken advantage of at all, after understanding his Alang's strategic intentions.
She was very obedient and strengthened the fence at the camp left by the Wei army, preparing to give the soldiers a better rest.
As a general, she naturally hopes to continue to lead the army and kill the enemy and achieve meritorious service.
Unlike Governor Feng's view, she believed that the Liangzhou Army had not yet reached its limit.
Dahe is definitely not the last layer of primeval material that the Liangzhou Army can penetrate.
But she wasn't very sure where, when, and how the layer of Su-Si would appear.
Governor Feng asked her to hold off and inadvertently reminded her of a fact:
Crossing the river means you have officially entered Guanzhong.
According to pre-war intelligence, there are at least 200,000 Wei troops here, which is far more than what Bingzhou and Hedong, which are unprepared, can compare with.
Coupled with the reinforcements from Guandong to Guanzhong during the war, the number of Wei troops at this time will only be greater.
After thinking about this, General Guan, who was originally a little eager to replicate the results of Bingzhou in Guanzhong, immediately calmed down.
Once she relaxed, she realized that the continuous running for nearly half a year had unexpectedly made her physically and mentally exhausted.
This kind of fatigue not only refers to physical fatigue, but also various negative emotions accumulated mentally and psychologically.
Physical fatigue can be almost recovered after a few days of rest, but mental and psychological adjustments cannot be made in a day or two.
Therefore, it is very necessary for the soldiers to take a major rest.
From the strategic direction of the future governance of the Han Dynasty, Governor Feng and General Guan from the actual situation of the soldiers on the front line reached a consensus that the Liangzhou army should postpone their advance.
Logically speaking, this is a good thing for the Wei army in Guanzhong, which is almost on the verge of becoming a frightened bird.
But the actions of the husband and wife team, Governor Feng, made Sima Yi almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
When Meng Da's rebellion was put down, Sima Yi marched 1,200 miles in eight days, which demonstrated his ability to lead an army.
This time from Yicheng to Tongguan, it was not even a thousand miles, more than ten days was more than enough.
In fact, he knew clearly that Xianyu, with 30,000 troops guarding the west of the river, would most likely be unable to stop Feng's thieves from crossing the river, but he still did not send more reinforcements.
In order to make this scene more realistic and prevent Zhuge Liang from discovering the flaw, he even asked Qin Lang to lead the army from the west, then abandoned the troops and let Qin Lang face the Shu army alone.
Anyway, according to the secret messages sent by Liu Fang and Sun Zi, His Majesty has been unable to take charge of the affairs for a long time and intends to prepare for his funeral.
And based on the current situation, even if Qin Lang is not regarded as an abandoned son, Sima Yi estimates that with His Majesty's temperament, there is a high probability that he will not let him go after the war.
Instead, he has a good grasp of the 100,000 troops he currently has. If His Majesty loses the Chinese army led by Qin Lang, Sima Yi believes that he will be fine after the war.
What does it mean to be too big to fail?
In Sima Yi's eyes, Hedong is far more important than the Chinese army led by Qin Lang.
Because he knows very well what is behind him.
In order to hide it from Zhuge Liang, he didn't even want to lose face, and secretly led his army back to Tongguan in the rain, setting up such a trap.
Having made such a big sacrifice, the result...
That's it!?
"How could Thief Feng not cross the river? How could he not cross the river?"
Sima Yi is actually two years older than Zhuge Liang, but compared to the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, the eldest Sima of Wei is well-maintained and looks much younger.
But after learning about Feng Thief's abnormal behavior, Sima Yi was so anxious that his carefully groomed beard looked a little messy, like a messy owner in the wind.
I secretly hid in Tongguan for several days. I didn't wait for news about Feng Thief crossing the river. Instead, I saw Feng Thief suddenly staying on the east bank and not moving.
No matter who it is, everyone will be in a mess.
After all, in Sima Yi's opinion, the Feng thief fought from the west to the east, and from the south to the north. No one could stop him along the way, so he must be very satisfied.
Now that the ferry has been occupied, as long as they go south and defeat Xian Yufu's 20,000 remaining troops and block Tongguan, it will be regarded as an immortal achievement.
Let me ask you, who in this world can resist this temptation?
Not to mention that Feng Thief is young and energetic, and has never failed since his debut. Judging from his past behavior, he does not look like a conservative person.
As a result, after he had risked his life to arrange the arrangements in Luoshui and Weishui, Feng Thief couldn't move. He couldn't move...
Feng Thief's actions were as steady as an old tortoise. Sima Yi felt that he had held back all his strength, but he punched the air. How could he not almost vomit blood?
"Is there a mole?"
This was Sima Yi's first reaction.
But this isn’t right either.
In order for Xian Yufu to make up his mind to stick to it, he didn't even tell him, let alone others.
"Has Thief Feng discovered himself?"
Sima Yi thought of the second possibility.
But...this is impossible.
I walked along the Wei River, and Longmen Ferry was the closest place to the Wei River, about three hundred miles away.
Thief Feng's scouts didn't even arrive at Pu Banjin, how could they discover him?
Sima Yi felt like he was going crazy.
It doesn't matter if Qin Lang is exchanged for a son, or if Qin Lang is an abandoned son, anyway, as long as he can capture Feng Thief, it means he can't win. As long as he can defeat Feng Thief and recapture Hedong, then he has made a profit.
If you are lucky, after retaking Hedong, you can turn back and continue to confront Zhuge Liang.
If you are unlucky, even if you lose Guanzhong, as long as Hedong is in hand and Tongguan is not lost, you can still accept it.
Because as long as the ancient Xiaohan Road is controlled, it is still possible to block the Shu captives in Guanzhong.
Qin and Wei first fought for the land west of Hexi, and then for the land east of Hedong. They suffered countless casualties and spent nearly a hundred years in total.
What is the picture?
Isn’t it just for the Weihan Ancient Road, the main road leading to the Central Plains?
However, Thief Feng is neither up nor down, so whoever is anxious will be embarrassed.
"No, we can't wait any longer!"
Sima Yi only waited for three or four days, and his days were already like years.
This time, he was following the speed at which General Guan swept through Bingzhou. The reason he was holding on to time was not because he was confident in his plan, but because time was too tight and he needed to survive.
As long as Feng Thief wants to cut off Tongguan, he must pass through Xianyufu.
Xianyu Fu can block it best, just enough to catch the army by surprise and surround it from the sides and rear.
It doesn't matter if Xian Yufu can't stop him. As long as Feng Thief pursues him, the army between Luoshui and Weishui will have already prepared their pockets, waiting for the opponent to get in.
As a result, Feng Thief suddenly had an idea and just glanced back at the Hedong family in the chaos of the war, but ended up avoiding Sima Yi's waist.
"Thief Feng doesn't want to take such a huge credit and rush to cross the river. What is he doing? Is he fishing by the river?"
The Grand Sima of the Wei State, who came from a noble family and always paid attention to his appearance, now lost all his temper and even cursed angrily.
The most terrible thing is that no one knows how long Qin Lang can block Zhuge Liang after knowing that he has been abandoned.
Your Majesty's imperial army is naturally loyal to your Majesty, so there is a high probability that they will not surrender without a fight. This is why he chose Qin Lang as his abandoned son.
But as long as Feng Thief stays on the east coast for one more day, Zhuge Liang will be more likely to reach Chang'an.
Once Zhuge Liang arrived in Chang'an, everything stopped.
"Someone's coming!"
"exist."
"Immediately send out fast horses and notify General Guo on Qiaoshan Mountain to ask him to stand down and return to Tongguan."
"promise."
If the big fish doesn't bite the bait, the net will not be able to be collected, so you can only continue to add more fragrant bait.
Sima Yi's eyes showed a fierce look, like a gambler making his last move at the gambling table:
"I don't believe you can remain indifferent when you see Guo Huai's thirty thousand people retreating from Qiaoshan."
Guo Huai, who was guarding Qiaoshan, was already in a state of restlessness when he learned for the first time that Feng's front troops had crossed the river.
There is no other way, because heading west from Longmen Ferry, you can cut off your own retreat at any time.
There is danger on the way back, who is not in a hurry?
However, Grand Sima's military orders were never sent, so he did not dare to retreat without authorization.
Even though Thief Feng took a detour from Bingzhou, the traitor general named Jiang who stayed to confront him was not a simple character.
For several months, both sides have been testing each other.
Knowing that Thief Feng could not leave too many men behind, the opponent's troops were at a disadvantage.
But instead of hiding in the stronghold, the thieves took advantage of their carelessness and actually dared to attack, causing them to suffer a small loss.
The complex terrain of Qiaoshan was originally an advantage for blocking Feng Thief, but now it became an advantage for the other party.
This quite put Guo Huai in a dilemma.
Guo Huai breathed a sigh of relief when Sima Yi's military order to withdraw his troops came.
Then he frowned again:
"The thieves on the other side are not to be underestimated. I'm afraid they won't let us exit Qiaoshan safely, so we must first think of a way to prevent them from chasing us."
Someone named Guo Mo took the opportunity to say:
"There is a general in front of me, Jia Xu, General Duoyan. Facing the Shu captives, he only dares to stick to the camp, fearing the Shu like a tiger. Why not give him the opportunity this time?"
When Guo Huai heard this, he was immediately overjoyed:
"You really know what I mean!"
Immediately, he quickly sent an order for Jia Xu to lead five thousand people to cut off the rear.
Jia Xu was not angry, but at this time Guo Huai was anxious to leave Qiaoshan.
If he didn't leave, he was afraid that Thief Feng would appear at the foot of Qiaoshan Mountain at any time, and he would really be stuck in Qiaoshan Mountain.
So at this time, how could he care about what the other party would think?
Immediately carry out the power given by the Grand Sima: Anyone who dares to disobey military orders can be dealt with according to the military law.
Jia Xu was forced to retreat, and Guo Huai led his army to retreat in a hurry.
