Qian County is located at the intersection of the north-south Liupan Mountains and the east-west Qinling Mountains.
It is located on the east side of Liupan Mountain, and Cao Ren Base Camp is located on the west side in Long County, Liangzhou.
Between the two places, there is a dangerous pass called Longguan.
It seems like it doesn¡¯t matter even if Qixian is thrown away.
But if you think so, you are totally wrong.
The reason why Cao Ren wanted to capture this small county at all costs.
At the same time, there were actually 20,000 troops packed inside, not because there were so many troops that they were useless.
It¡¯s because the location here is crucial.
On the one hand, it is the only way for Cao Ren's army to enter Jing Zhaoyin.
As soon as you pass Qian County, you will see the vast Guanzhong Plain ahead.
By then the other party will no longer be in danger of holding on.
Therefore, in order to stop Cao Ren's army, the opponent must send several times the number of troops to resist.
This will naturally help King Wei contain the opponent's power and reduce the pressure on King Wei's direction.
At the same time, Qian County is close to Chencang, forming a rivalry with it.
And Chencang is the final thoroughfare for Shanggui Qibing to invade Chang'an.
If you catch the opponent off guard, you can win in one fell swoop.
But if Qian County is controlled by the opponent and can be supported at any time, then Xia Houyuan's extraordinary troops will be unable to attack for a long time and will have no choice but to return without success.
In addition, Qixian County has a more important value.
It, together with Wushi, Chaona and Gaoping counties, are all located on the east side of Liupan Mountain.
Between the four counties, there is a corridor that is flatter than the surrounding areas, stringing them together like a line.
As long as you march north along that corridor, you will reach Wushi in a few days.
Wushi is not an important city, but the army of King Wei is currently stationed in Yiju, which is located downstream of Wushi.
In other words, as long as Wushi is captured, the retreat of King Wei's army can be blocked.
When the time comes, he will be attacked from both sides by Liu Ke's army in Qixian County, and Cao Cao will not be able to escape even if he uses his wings.
Originally, when Cao Ren captured Qian County, he planned to set up his base camp here directly.
However, the city here is small, so the large army was left in Longguan.
But in order to prevent Qian County from being taken back by the enemy, he still sent a full 20,000 troops to guard it.
Originally, I thought that even if the opponent's army of 100,000 attacked the city, it would be impossible to defeat it overnight.
As long as the opponent persists in the first wave of attacks, he can lead his troops to rush there and force the enemy back.
Cao Ren¡¯s abacus was very good, but he never imagined that Qixian County, where 20,000 troops were stationed, would change hands overnight.
Due to Pang Tong¡¯s plan and the charge with Ma Chao, except for Cao Fan who escaped, almost no other Cao soldiers escaped.
Twenty thousand Cao troops either fled or surrendered, and the entire county was able to do so without any effort.
In the early morning of the next day, Ma Chao and Pang Tong had already led their troops to the city.
Pang De was busy all night. When he heard that the coach had arrived, he immediately went out of the city to greet him.
Pang Tong couldn't help but praise: "Ling Ming should take the lead in conquering Qian County this time. I will report to your majesty in the future to ask for a reward for Ling Ming."
Pound hurriedly said humbly: "You are so complimentary, sergeant. I can obtain these thanks to the strategic planning of the military advisor and I don't dare to be greedy for credit!"
As the coach, Ma Chao is very pleased with Pound's modesty.
Speaking of which, Pang De can be regarded as Ma Chao's retainer.
Ma Chao has been a prince for many generations, and the Pang family has always followed him. Now that he has made great achievements, Ma Chao, the head of the family, has a bright face.
After a busy night, the soldiers were exhausted.
Except for the guards on duty, everyone else took this opportunity to have a good rest.
As for Cao Fan who escaped, everyone didn't mind.
The other side lost its troops and generals, and in the end there were less than 500 people left, so there was no longer any threat.
But it was said that after Cao Fan left Qixian County, he went straight to Longguan.
After running all night, we finally arrived at Longguan City.
The guards at Guan Guan were all Cao Ren¡¯s senior generals, so naturally they all knew the third son, Cao Fan.
Although I don¡¯t know why he suddenly visited, he still welcomed Cao Fan into the pass politely.
When the guard saw Cao Fan, he was finally shocked by his current appearance.
After a night of fighting, Cao Fan's body was covered in black ash from thick smoke and long-dried blood.Traces.
His hair was disheveled and his armor had long been damaged, as if he had just rushed out of hell.
The guard quickly supported Cao Fan and said in shock: "Sir, what happened?"
Cao Fan has been thinking about what his father told him when he came here.
He naturally understood the serious consequences of losing Qixian County.
So everyone was speechless at this moment.
Looking at the opponent's performance and the embarrassing state of the guards behind him, the guard had already guessed in his mind.
But he was sensible and did not continue to ask.
"I just quickly arranged for my men to prepare wine, food and hot water to help Cao Fan wash away the dust.
An hour later, after washing up quickly and having had enough food and drinks, Cao Fan finally recovered a little to his previous state.
And the guard general already knew the whole story from his guards.
He did not dare to hesitate and said immediately: "Sir, this matter is not trivial. We must report it to the general immediately to prevent the enemy from arriving by surprise!"
Cao Fan nodded and said, "Don't worry, General Wang. After I repair it, I will rush to Long County in person to plead guilty to my father!"
"Well, how about I send someone to inform you in advance so that the general can be mentally prepared."
When Cao Fan heard this, he looked at the other party gratefully, knowing that the other party was doing it for his own good.
lest his father suddenly get the news and severely punish him.
"However, Cao Fan knew that this matter was not a trivial matter, so it was better to plead guilty himself.
To avoid being misunderstood, if you abscond in fear of crime, not only your own image, but also your father's majesty will be greatly damaged.
Therefore, after Cao Fan tidied up for a while, he ignored the general's dissuasion and resolutely rushed to the Longxian base camp with his personal guards.
In order to avoid the opponent's attack, the general who received the news immediately reorganized his sergeants and strengthened the defense force of the pass.
Even the general himself went to the gate to inspect everything after seeing off Cao Fan.
Fortunately, the terrain of this pass is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as you don't make mistakes, it will be impossible for the opponent to break through it in a short time.
At the same time, the guard thought of the geographical location of Qian County, so he immediately wrote a letter and sent it to Yangcheng overnight.
Yangcheng is located seventy miles north of Qian County. It is also the final route for attacking Wushi from Qian County along the east corridor of Liupan Mountain.
If the opponent takes Qianxian and cannot attack Longguan for a long time, they will definitely change direction and head towards Yangcheng.
If it were anyone else, the guard would not necessarily notify him specifically. After all, this is not within his responsibilities.
But the garrison of Yangcheng was his old acquaintance, and the two had worked together under General Cao Ren for a long time.
Therefore, he immediately sent the letter to remind his old friend not to be careless.
Within a day, the letter was delivered to Yangcheng guard Zhang Ji. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
