Three Kingdoms: The son-in-law was lying flat, and Lu Bu eavesdropped on his heart

Nanyang County.

In the late Han Dynasty, it had absolute strategic significance.

It's not just its population.

What's more, it has outstanding people and strong economic strength.

It is not an easy task to capture Nanyang. because!

From Central Plains to Nanyang.

There is and only one way.

That is Fangcheng Xia Road, also known as Fangcheng Xia Road.

From a purely geographical point of view, the geographical dividing line between the Huaibei region and the Nanxiang Basin is a series of hills between the Tongbai Mountains and the Funiu Mountains.

The Tongbai Mountains themselves belong to the northeastern extension of the Dabie Mountains, and the Funiu Mountains also belong to the eastern extension of the Qinling Mountains.

The two stretches of mountains themselves are not too dense, although they are not too dense.

But it was enough to stop the normal behavior of the army. therefore.

I want to rush to Nanyang from the Central Plains.

You can only take this Fangcheng Summer Road.

This is good news for Cao Cao.

Xia Lu is also called Xia Dao.

It refers to the road through which Zhuxia entered the Nanxiang Basin.

The so-called Zhuxia refers to the vassal states with the same surname that originated from the Zhou royal family in the pre-Qin period.

After the Zhou people entered the Central Plains, the Nanxiang Basin, which faced the Guanzhong Plain across the Qinling Mountains and had direct access to the Central Plains, became a key area for the expansion of the Zhou Dynasty, and enfeoffed a group of princes, mainly Ji, in the Jianghan Basin. vassal states.

As for why it’s called Fangcheng?

This is because, after the Chu State controlled the Nanxiang Basin, it built many square city fortifications along the Huaihe and Hanshui ridges. This was a defense system built based on the mountains. In layman's terms, it was the Great Wall of Chu.

Among the square cities built along the Great Wall of Chu, the pass selected by Chu was called Zenguan.

Zhuanguan is located between the inner hills.

Geographically, this location can be identified as the dividing point between the Tongbai Mountains and the Funiu Mountains.

Among the many summer roads that pass through the hills, the one pointed by Zhuanguan is not only wider, but also located closest to the north.

Whether it is from the Luoyang Basin or the hinterland of the Central Plains, a transportation line connecting the Nanyang Basin will be opened.

The pass represented by Zhuanguan Pass is the most convenient one!

The former can go directly to Luoyang along Pingding Mountain and the Rushui River Valley where Ruzhou is located; the latter can be transited through Xuchang, which was designated as the foundation place by Cao Cao. in short.

As long as Fangcheng Zenguan can be defended, it is equivalent to defending Nanyang.

On the opposite side, it is Ye County, which borders Runan County.

When Cao Cao learned that the imperial court had issued an edict asking Liu Biao to escort him to Youzhou, he did not hesitate and led his troops directly to Zengguan.

Now that it has been exposed, there is no need to hide it anymore.

Zenguan.

Cao Jun's camp.

Central army, big tent.

At this moment, Cao Cao sat upright.

Next to it, the civil and military officials sat on both sides. call~~~

Cao Cao took a long breath and tried to keep calm.

He glanced at the soldiers and said loudly:"What is the current situation?"

At that moment, General Cao Ren took a step forward, leaned forward and raised his hands:"My lord, report back to the horses. Wang Hao's vanguard army has entered Ye County, with fifty thousand troops. The main force The army is expected to arrive in Ye County in five days"

"Wang Hao?

Cao Cao couldn't help but be stunned:"Are you sure it's Wang Hao, not Lu Bu?""

Cao Ren nodded with great certainty:"Yes, the leader of the troops this time is the newly appointed general Wang Hao." hiss~~~

Cao Cao couldn't help but gasped in surprise:"Wang Hao! It's actually Wang Hao!"

He couldn't believe it. Lu Bu really handed over the military power to Wang Hao?

Damn it!

Isn't that a little too much?

Soldiers are a major event for the country.

Are you such a childish person?

A man dressed as a Confucian scholar appeared beside him.

The man bowed his head and said:"My lord, according to the intelligence sent back from Youzhou, Lu Bu wants to use this battle to determine the status of General Wang Hao. After all, there are many voices of criticism in the court."

"therefore!

The man added:"The troops and horses led by Wang Hao this time are almost all the main forces under Lu Bu's account, including the Wolf Warrior Zhao Yun, the veteran Huang Zhong, as well as the trapped camp, Shenyuan camp, Chiluan camp, etc.""

Luxury!

I have to admit.

This lineup is really too luxurious.

You know, only Lu Bu had such a status before.

However, a 1sp Wang Hao can actually have such a configuration.

This is simply incredible.

"Filial piety.

Cao Cao was confused and asked directly:"How do you think it is credible?"

Guo Jia pondered for a moment:"At least 50%!""

"Fifty percent?"

Cao Cao frowned and sighed.

Indeed.

Judging from the other party's motivation for sending troops, it is indeed reasonable.

And as Lu Bu's confidant, it is also reasonable for Wang Hao to be a general.

Since everything is reasonable, 50% The credibility can almost be underestimated.

If it were anyone else, he would probably have started laughing and not even take Wang Hao seriously.

But Cao Cao is different!

This kid has always been suspicious.

He will never believe these baseless rumors easily. Rumors.

After all, that is the position of the general. Would Lu Bu arrange it like this casually?

"kindness!

Guo Jia nodded:"Only 50%." Cao

Cao was still a little confused and said in a long voice:"Wen He, what do you think?""

A haggard old man flashed out from the side, frowning and looking deathly:"It's useless to guess what Wang Hao's strength is. You have to test it yourself to know."

"after all......"

Jia Xu frowned and did not jump to a conclusion:"He has not shown any ability before. Such speculation is irresponsible to us.""

"I think that the lord just needs to fight as usual and fight with all his strength. The barrier is easy to defend but difficult to attack, which is enough for us to test the opponent's strength."

Cao Cao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly:"Yes, I was too nervous."

"Lord!"

Following that, Jia Xu said again:"Although we want to attack with all our strength, we are weak after all and may not be able to resist Wang Hao's army. You need to consider this in advance."

Indeed.

Although Cao Cao has entered Jingzhou for many years. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

But in fact, because he depends on others, Cao Cao can't let go at all.

He has only more than 20,000 troops under his command. Even if there are The elite (ahdj) soldiers and capable think tanks may not be able to resist Wang Hao's super luxurious army. There is an extremely disparity in strength between the two sides.

Although Jia Xu's words don't sound good,

I have to admit that they are very real.

All of his own troops There are only 20,000, but the opponent's forward has 50,000!

Damn! If you add the main army,

I'm afraid the disparity in total strength will not be worse than ten times!

Phew!~~~

Cao Cao exhaled a breath and pondered for a moment:"No matter what, we must show our own prestige. In this way, even if I go to Liu Biao's place, I will be able to deal with it.""

"Everyone! Cao Cao glanced at everyone:"

This battle depends entirely on you.""

All the soldiers raised their hands in unison:"Here! General

Cao Ren patted his chest and promised:"Don't worry, my lord, even if I risk my life, I, Cao Ren, will never back down, and I will definitely fight against the thieves to the end!""

"Lord, don’t worry!

Another general, Xu Chulang, said:"When I was captured by Lu Bu, if you had not intervened to save me, I would have lost my life. This time, I, Xu Chu, will go all out to guard Zhuanguan." General

Xiahou Dun also followed suit and said:"Don't worry, my lord, our brothers have long wanted to fight to the death with the bandits. This is an opportunity for us, a chance to avenge our previous shame!""

"Yes, that’s right!"

"indeed so"

"Swear to protect Nanyang to the death!"

"......"

Suddenly, all the soldiers roared. no way!

Cao Cao's defeat was really miserable.

It was extremely embarrassing to be chased all the way by the powerful crossbow of the divine kite.

They all held back their energy and prepared to fight Wang Hao to the death.

Oh no!

For now, it's still Lu Bu.

Wang Hao is just a spokesperson at best.

He has yet to establish his own brand.

But that's okay!

It's just morning and evening, no worries at all.

A few days later.

Ye County.

Wang Hao personally led the troops to come.

Central army, big tent.

Wang Haoduan sat on the head.

Next to it, the civil and military officials sat on both sides.

Wang Hao's eyes fell on Zhao Yun and said loudly:"General Zilong, please introduce the current situation."

Zhao Yun cupped his fists and took a step forward:"Here!"

Follow.

He walked to the real map and said:"General, the main force of Cao's army is currently concentrated in Zenguan, with about 20,000 to 30,000 troops. All his generals are on the side. It seems that they want to fight our army to the death."

"in addition. Zhao

Yun exhaled a thick breath:"I recently went to explore other roads in person. Not to mention the rugged and difficult roads, the key points are relatively narrow, which is not conducive to large armies traveling together.""

Although Zhao Yun didn't say it clearly,

Wang Hao could hear it.

The implication was that there was no other way except attacking Zhuang Pass.

In other words, Wang Hao and Cao Cao had to fight a life-and-death battle outside Zhuang Pass, otherwise it would be impossible to enter Wancheng. Wang Hao is naturally very clear about this.

Fangcheng Xia Road is the key to entering and exiting the Nanxiang Basin.

And this Zhuanguan Pass is definitely a tough one.

What's more!

The opponent is no one else.

It is Cao Cao, the great emperor of Wei Wu.

Phew.~~~

Wang Hao took a long breath and raised the corners of his lips slightly:"Zilong, it was your second senior brother Zhang Xiu who was stationed in Nanyang before. Now that we have arrived, we might as well communicate with him tomorrow."

"kindness!"

Zhao Yun nodded solemnly and said softly:"The general also has this intention, but I don't know the general. If the general can capture him alive, will the general be willing to forgive Zhang Xiu?"

"certainly. Wang

Hao did not hesitate at all and nodded affirmatively:"But Zilong, Zhang Xiu's family is in Wancheng. It is still unknown whether he will surrender to the court.""

"You should also know"

"It's war time! Wang

Hao deliberately emphasized:"If Zhang Xiu is unwilling to surrender, I will never keep him in the army!" Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment:"

General, what do you mean?......"

Wang Hao said softly:"It is good to surrender, but if surrender fails, then send someone to escort him back to Beijing. After the war in Nanyang is over, you can talk about the brotherhood between brothers.""

"maybe! Wang Hao smiled calmly:"

When the time comes, we can take his family back to Youzhou together." Zhao

Yun was completely relieved and cupped his hands with his fists:"Thank you so much, General!"

Wang Haoteng stood up:"In that case, early tomorrow morning, we will rush to Zhuanguan Pass to kill him!""

All the soldiers said:"Here!"
