Just when Liu Lin and Cao Cao were confronting each other in Puyang, a turmoil broke out between Ma Teng and Han Sui in Chang'an, Xijing because of the Qiang people. The two sides fought in Chang'an City. Li Jue and Guo Si heard the news.
He quickly led an army of 50,000 from Tongguan to Xijing. The snipe and the clam quarreled, and the fisherman benefited. Both Ma Teng and Han Sui were powerless against Li Jue and Guo Si's strong entry into Xijing, and quickly withdrew from Xijing. Xijing Chang'an was eliminated after Dong Zhuo's power was eliminated.
Years later, it fell into the hands of Xiliang soldiers again.
After Li Jue and Guo Si entered Xijing, under the banner of revenge for Dong Zhuo, they burned, killed and looted Xijing, making Xijing a mess and everyone in danger. Many people in Guanzhong fled to Hanzhong and Luoyang, and Liu
After Lin got the news of the great changes in Guanzhong, he heard the news that Liu Bei had sent troops to Tongguan. Liu Lin urgently ordered Li Su to stop Liu Bei from entering the pass.
Now Liu Bei's power is not small. He has occupied the land of Luoyang and firmly grasped Hongnong, Xingyang and Zhongmou around Luoyang. He also appointed Zhonglang General Li Jun as general, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao as partial generals to command Luoyang.
Army. Although Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao were unknown, Li Jun was one of the three great generals in the late Han Dynasty. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Battle of Changshe completely wiped out the menacing Yellow Turban rebellion and made the Han Dynasty powerful.
be preserved.
Liu Bei led an army of 50,000 troops and approached Tongguan. Tongguan was in a dangerous terrain and was easy to defend and difficult to attack. The defender was Li Su. When Li Su was very worried about the incident in Chang'an, he received Liu Lin's order to tell him to be careful.
To prevent Liu Bei from entering the Pass, Liu Bei was originally just an unknown guy, but he quickly rose up in just one year and became a major force among the princes in the world, which Li Su did not dare to underestimate.
Li Su, wearing a helmet and a sword hanging from his waist, stood at the head of Tongguan City. Tongguan is now far less famous than later generations. It is just a pass. Tongguan is named after water. "Shui Jing Zhu" records: "The river flows to the south of the pass.
Jiguan Mountain is called Tongguan. The waves are fierce, so Tongguan Pass is named, also known as Chongguan. There is the Qinling Barrier in the south, the Yellow River Natural Cutoff in the north, the Niantou Yuan Tower in the east, and the Forbidden ditch in the middle.
Wanggou, Manluochuan and other natural defense lines that cut across the east and west have the potential to become a "closed door that strangles Kyushu, and birds cannot cross it."
At this moment, I saw a few horses galloping east of Tongguan. The horses' hooves were very fast and they looked panicked. This was the scouting horse sent by Li Su. They found Liu Bei's army and immediately reported back. It seemed that they had met Liu Bei's army. Li Su quickly ordered people.
Open the door and let these scouts enter the pass. As soon as these scouts entered the pass, they saw formations of horse hooves in the distance, flags fluttering, and tens of thousands of troops coming towards us with murderous intent!
When Li Su saw Liu Bei's army coming fiercely, his face was calm. The situation in Tongguan was very dangerous. It was surrounded by mountains and peaks, deep valleys and cliffs. The mountains were high and the road was narrow. There was a narrow trail in the middle, which could only accommodate one car and one car.
Ma, even if the enemy has tens of thousands of troops and you only have 3,000 defenders, as long as you can't hold on, it won't be a problem to defend Tongguan.
Li Su stood at the top of the city observing Liu Bei's army, and Liu Bei was also observing Tongguan in the military formation. Seeing how dangerous the place of Tongguan was, Liu Bei's face turned livid. He took advantage of the battle between Liu Lin and Cao Cao in Puyang this time to
With such an opportunity, once Cao Cao and Liu Lin end the Battle of Puyang, they will definitely attack Hulao Pass and force themselves to return to the army. If they cannot capture Guanzhong before the Battle of Puyang ends, what they have achieved in more than a year will be
All achievements will be in vain. Besides, the land of Guanzhong is fertile and wild for thousands of miles. "The Burial Sutra Wings" says: "Guanzhong is the backbone of the world and the dragon's head of the Central Plains." Those who win Guanzhong will win the world.
Liu Bei frowned, sighed, and was about to order an attack. He saw a general about forty years old coming to Liu Lin's side on horseback, clasping his fists and saying: "My lord, I have a plan that can win the battle within three days."
Tongguan!" Liu Bei saw that it was Li Jun. He knew that Li Jun was originally a lieutenant general of the Han Dynasty and had guarded Guanzhong for many years. He knew the situation in Guanzhong well, so he quickly asked: "What's Gongwei's clever plan? Tell me quickly.
Come!"
Li Jun signaled his guards to open a sheepskin map, and then said to Liu Bei: "My lord, please dismount and follow the general!" Upon seeing this, Liu Bei quickly dismounted and sat on a lawn with Jushou, the marching strategist. Li Jun pointed
Looking at a peach blossom forest on the map, he said: "My lord, when I was guarding Tongguan, I discovered that there is a trail here that can cross Tongguan. It is extremely hidden. It must be used by some hunters when hunting!" When Liu Bei heard this, his eyes flickered.
Revealing a glimmer of light, he said with a happy face: "God has blessed me Liu Bei. It seems that Gongwei is my lucky star!"
Li Jun led Liu Bei's five hundred most elite sergeants towards the Peach Blossom Forest. In order to prevent Li Su from making any objections, he ordered Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao to lead the army to feint attack. For three consecutive days, Li Su gradually realized that something was wrong. Liu Bei's army always
The thunder was loud and the rain was light. Every time they arrived at the city and were shot by crossbowmen, they immediately retreated. However, he did not know how Liu Bei could attack Tongguan. After all, Tongguan had a dangerous terrain and was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
He had no choice but to order the sergeants to pay attention to the movements of Liu Bei's army, while he himself studied the topographic map of Tongguan area.
But after looking for a long time, he couldn't see anything, so he said to the personal guard beside him: "Let the military commander come to see me!" The personal guard hurriedly went to pass the order. After a while, the military commander arrived in front of Li Su, and Li Su said
"How many of the troops in the army are native to Tongguan now?" When Sima heard this, he didn't know why Li Su asked this, but he himself was from Huayin, so he quickly clasped his fists and said, "The last general is from Huayin!"
When Li Su heard this, he quickly grabbed Sima in front of him, pointed at the map and said, "Tell me quickly, is there a road that can pass through Tongguan?" Sima was shocked by what Li Su did, but Li Su
Su asked, but he did not dare not answer, and said hurriedly: "Beyond the peach blossom forest, there is a hidden path that can lead directly to Huayin!" When Li Su heard this, he was shocked and finally understood Liu Bei's intention. He shouted loudly.
Sima said to the army: "Take two thousand people to guard Tongguan, and the other one thousand people will follow me to Huayin!"
After Li Su gave the order, the Xiliang soldiers quickly organized their troops and horses, and Li Su led the troops and galloped towards Huayin County. The army had just walked less than five miles when they found a troop of troops and horses in front of them running towards them.
, they were wearing armor, holding machetes in their hands, and wearing white cloaks. There were about five hundred people, and they were full of murderous intent. At first glance, they were Liu Bei's elite white-eared soldiers. Li Su knew that this army must be Liu Bei's elite army, so he did not dare to
Carelessly, he grasped the spear in his hand and charged away with a thousand men and horses!
