After the battle on the plank road, Xia Houyuan's morale finally eased.
And when he was retreating, he did not forget to order the soldiers to burn all the plank roads to slow down the opponent's progress.
The blazing flames in front of him reflected on Xia Houyuan's face.
He also understood that when the opponent's troops approached the city, it would probably be time for a decisive battle.
Because Shanggui is an important town in Liangzhou, it guards Liangzhou's eastward march to Chencang, threatening Chang'an's throat.
This place is adjacent to Ji County, the seat of Hanyang County. As long as Shanggui is captured, Ji County can be defeated overnight.
Therefore, we can take the opportunity to capture the entire Hanyang County and threaten Longxi County.
Going south from Shanggui is Wudu County. If Wudu is captured, Hanzhong can be threatened from the west.
In this case, Liu Ke's army can take over the five counties of Beidi, Anding, Hanyang, Longxi, and Wudu in the east of Liangzhou and connect them together.
Directly block Cao Cao's forces further west in the bitter cold places of Jincheng, Wuwei, and Zhangye.
By then, I am afraid that within a few years, Cao Jun¡¯s power will collapse on its own.
??????????????????????? There is an old saying about traveling to Shu, which is not a metaphor for people¡¯s insatiable greed at first, but it does make sense.
Although the road to Shu is dangerous, one of the entrances to Shu is at Yangping Pass at the junction of Hanzhong and Liangzhou.
So upon closer inspection, this sentence does make sense.
Therefore, the Battle of Shanggui is almost always a crucial test for Cao Wei and Liu Bei.
The fire on the plank road soared into the sky, and even Ma Chao and Huang Zhong, who were returning to the army, could see clearly.
Ma Chao¡¯s face turned very ugly when he saw it.
"Meng Qi, why is this so?" Huang Zhong asked with some confusion.
"Alas! Han Sheng, you have just entered Liangzhou and don't know the situation here. I have lived in Liangzhou for a long time and am very familiar with the terrain.
? Among them, there is a very thrilling section of the road leading from this road to Shanggui, which is completely composed of a plank road built on a cliff.
This plank road is ten miles long, which sounds like nothing, but without it, you would have to go around a hundred miles.
And the road was even more dangerous and rugged, and it was impossible for carts carrying food and baggage to pass, even when they reached the bottom of the city.
Facing a fortified city and waiting for work, the enemy army will definitely be repulsed.
Now that there is a raging fire here, it seems that the plank road will not be saved. Our army's progress this time will take a little longer! "
After listening to Ma Chao's story, Huang Zhong already understood the situation at hand.
But now the fire has started, and even if you rush forward immediately, it is absolutely impossible to save the plank road.
Rather than complaining, it¡¯s better to think about how to get through this road.
As for Xia Houyuan, he finally returned to Shanggui City.
Cao Ren has been waiting here for a long time, but when he saw him, he was still a little surprised.
"Why is it too late for such a wonderful talent?"
Xia Houyuan had no choice but to tell the story of how he ambushed Huang Zhong and then destroyed the plank road before coming.
Cao Ren said: "Oh, this is the only way. Even if the plank road is burned down, our army's future march will definitely be greatly affected.
But at this moment, the enemy force is so powerful that they can no longer take care of it. I have defeated the enemy in a row and lost troops and territory. This time I must avenge my previous humiliation. "
These words just hit Xia Houyuan's heart. Isn't it that Xia Houyuan is holding back his anger?
The two immediately united their front and determined their determination.
But then Cao Ren¡¯s expression darkened again.
"Zixiao, why is this?"
"Alas! Although I have the intention to kill the enemy, I had no choice but to lose the army the day before yesterday, and my subordinates are weak. I am afraid that although I have the intention to kill the enemy, I am unable to save my life!"
Cao Ren looked sad. He was not exaggerating. After all, only a few thousand people escaped at that time.
Not only did they defeat the 50,000-strong army given by King Wei, but they also exhausted all the city defenders within a hundred miles of Long County, leading to the loss of several cities in one day.
Therefore, Cao Ren simply had no face to ask the King of Wei for troops.
When he fled here, he even expressed that he was only willing to be a pawn and would be content to repay King Wei with his death.
In the end, Xia Houyuan sent out 10,000 troops, led by Cao Ren.
At this moment, Cao Ren once again brought up the matter of having few soldiers and horses, and Xia Houyuan also understood the other party's difficulties.
However, Xia Houyuan had already considered it before this.
So he said: "You should be filial and don't worry."?I am also considering this. But there are some clues. "
When Cao Ren heard this, he looked at the other party with a surprised look on his face: "Please tell me!"
Xia Houyuan cleared his throat and began to speak.
It turns out that when Cao Cao arranged for Xiahou Yuan to station troops in Guanzhong and wait for an opportunity to invade Guanzhong, he had given him a tiger talisman.
With this tiger talisman, you can control the deployment of troops and horses from the three counties of Hanyang, Longxi and Wudu.
Xia Houyuan was full of confidence before, so he naturally did not use this power.
But he had already obtained the information in advance, and now there are still 30,000 soldiers and horses in Ji County, led by the prefect Hu Zun.
There are also 20,000 Qiang soldiers in Lintao and Wudu Road, Longxi, and 10,000 Qiang soldiers in Rongqiu.
And the commanders of these people are all controlled by the tiger charm in Xia Houyuan's hand.
Therefore, as long as Xia Houyuan issues an order now, in less than half a month, he will be able to gather an army of 100,000 troops again.
When the time comes, if you wait for work at leisure and defend Shanggui, you will definitely be able to defeat Ma Chao and Huang Zhong who came from afar.
In fact, this is the reason why Xia Houyuan resolutely burned down the plank road.
Therefore, only in this way can he buy time to deploy his troops and generals.
"However, these 100,000 troops are also the last assets of the three counties.
If they are defeated, the three counties will no longer be able to organize a defensive force, and it will really be like what happened in Long County before.
"It's just that there were only four or five cities at that time, and then it became three counties.
Therefore, as a witness, Cao Ren also expressed his concerns in a timely manner.
Hearing Cao Ren's words, Xia Houyuan's eyes were full of doubts.
In the end, he seemed to have made up his mind, and his eyes gradually became firm.
"Zixiao, I haven't thought about what you are worried about. But if we don't mobilize these soldiers and horses,
How can we resist with this little force in our hands? By then our army will be defeated and Shanggui will be lost.
The defenders scattered in the three counties were not defeated by each other in the end, but they all returned to the other side in the end.
So even though I knew it was a poison, I could only grit my teeth and swallow it in order to quench my thirst! "
After listening to Xia Houyuan's words, Cao Ren nodded noncommittally, and was finally persuaded by the other party.
Therefore, Xia Houyuan immediately ordered people to draft a handwriting for mobilizing troops, and then printed the tiger talisman on each handwriting.
He handed it over to important people and rushed to those places overnight.
Xia Houyuan is good at quick attacks, and his men are no less willing to make concessions.
Within two days, all the guards in those places received Xia Houyuan's handwritten letter.
Comparing the tiger talisman rubbings above with his own, after confirming that they were correct, the army immediately marched towards Shanggui.
