Wei Qing was solemn, and all the generals also knew that Wei Qing was going to issue a military order, so they all straightened their backs, looked serious, and waited for the military order to be issued.

Wei Qing looked around, all the generals looked in his eyes, nodded slightly and said: "A certain relative will command 1 cavalry and [-] infantry, a total of [-] horses will walk on the path, bypass Baishuiguan, and go straight to Jinguan City. General Zhao will lead the remaining four Thousands of soldiers fired artillery and attacked the city as a cover."

"Marshal, you are the commander-in-chief of the first army. It is too dangerous to go with such light troops."

Gongsun He persuaded.

"It doesn't matter, Your Majesty has entrusted the important task of conquering Shu to someone. He must do his best to repay His Majesty's kindness. This split is full of dangers. As the commander of an army, he must set an example. How can he hide behind? Greed for life and fear of death?"

Wei Qing, however, had his own considerations and seriously refused.

Then he gave a few instructions in a low voice, and finally ordered the generals to go to prepare.

It was night, Wei Qing led [-] soldiers and horses to leave the camp under the cover of the night, and Zhao Yun, as the deputy commander, took over the responsibility of the general.

Wei Qing took Hua Rong, Wang Ping, Luo Cheng, and Zhou Bo away, leaving Gongsun He, Ma Yubo, Liu Zhen, and Wang Xiaojie to assist Zhao Yun.

"General, the Han army is building siege equipment, and it seems that they are preparing to attack the city."

The lieutenant general said to Bu Hall.

"Hmph, this Wei Qing is just a man with a vain reputation. To become the commander-in-chief of the first army, I am afraid it is his sister who blows the pillow wind! Hahaha!"

After listening to the lieutenant general's narration, Buting couldn't help laughing, "I have 10 soldiers at Baishui Pass, although the Han army only has [-] troops, even if there are [-] troops, I can refuse!"

Afterwards, Buting's eyes turned red, and he charged the case, "Not only does that man want to return without success, but he also wants to avenge my younger brother!"

The city of Pule County is condescending, with Nanshan as its backing and the Huai River tributaries as its moat in front. It is a very dangerous place. As long as there is enough food and grass, it is basically difficult to break through. This is one of the reasons why the Long family can survive to this day.

Guo Jia said to Zhang Liao and Wu Song at the top of the city: "Lu Congshou must have thought that we would stick to the city, but I want to do the opposite, go out of the city first and beat Lu Congshou by surprise, General Zhang, are you willing to take over?" Take this job?"

Zhang Liao cupped his hands and bowed: "The last general will live up to the eunuch's entrustment."

Guo Jia smiled and said: "You don't need to kill many enemy troops, just sharpen their spirit and slow down their journey, that's a great achievement."

"The last general takes orders!"

After Zhang Liao finished speaking, he went down to the top of the city to rectify the troops.

Han, in April of the second year of Kaiyuan, Liu De learned that Lu Congshou led an army of [-] to attack Pule County, and immediately ordered Guan Yu, the commander of the rear army stationed in Luzhou, to support Pule County.

Then Liu De dispatched several generals from other governor's mansions to make plans for the southern expedition.

Here I want to talk about the affairs of Governor Guan Yu's three states, that is, the military affairs of Luzhou, Yangzhou, and Huaizhou are all in charge of Guan Yu (the former governors of Danzhou, Luzhou, and Dongzhou, because of the advance of the front, so some change), and it is a fake festival yue, with great power and great autonomy, and it is in the prime of life. Although it has been granted the title of Duke, it is still very enterprising.

Therefore, before the Han Dynasty conquered Shu, there were almost no large-scale battles on the surface, but Guan Yu was still sending troops to Yangzhou to pacify the south on a small scale, and crossed Yangzhou to march further south to Fuzhou. The military of the military governor's mansion has never stopped.

And Dongzhou's Rear Army Governor's Mansion stationed [-] soldiers and horses, and these [-] soldiers and horses were to guard against Lu Congshou's attack, but the only shortcoming was that [-] of the [-] soldiers and horses were recruited recruits, and they had not seen blood yet.

Guan Yu originally wanted to achieve the purpose of training troops by flattening the land, but he did not expect Lu Congshou to be so decisive.

Guan Yu immediately sent [-] troops, with Liu Renshan as the main general, and Lu Junyi, Jia Fu, Ji Zun, and Guan Ping as deputy generals to support Pule County.

In May, Wei Qing marched non-stop for three days with [-] cavalry, ran away and killed nearly a thousand horses, raided a large tribe, beheaded a thousand, and captured thousands of people. Wei Qing left a dozen people to guard the prisoners and wait for the infantry behind.

Without a break, they gathered all the plundered horses together and attacked again. Within half a month, they won seven out of seven battles and defeated seven tribes in a row.

It was only then that the generals, including Luo Cheng, deeply admired Wei Qing.

660 Chapter Nine

At this moment, Wei Qing's army is getting closer and closer to Jinguan City, but at this time there is still a pass that hinders Wei Qing's army. The city's military strength is far from enough.

This pass is called Quyu Pass, and it was mainly set up to guard against Dafan. However, Yizhou has already negotiated terms with Dafan. Relying on the supply of money, the two parties can be considered to be in peace. It has been several years Peace.

So Quyuguan's defense must be lax, and this gave Wei Qing a chance.

That night, Wang Ping, Luo Cheng, Zhou Bo, and Hua Rong personally hung up the rope, taking advantage of the lax guards of the guards, directly led the army into the pass, and the guarding general who was waiting was shot and killed by Hua Rong. After that, the big picture is settled.

Wei Qing didn't care about the rest of the soldiers, and directly searched the city for food and war horses. Apart from staying behind a hundred people to guard the city and wait for the [-] infantry behind, he set off overnight to Jinguan City.

In the middle of the night, the county magistrate of a small county in Yizhou was woken up by the county guard who guarded the city: "Magistrate Wang, the whereabouts of an army were found outside the city! They are all cavalry, about thousands of them!"

"Army!"

The county magistrate, who was still a little sleepy, woke up in an instant. Under the service of the maid, he hurriedly put on his clothes and said in surprise: "Thousands of cavalry, are they our soldiers and horses?"

"It shouldn't be, the direction is wrong!"

The county magistrate Wang opened his mouth wide in an instant: "That is the enemy army? How can there be an enemy army here? This is the hinterland of Yizhou, and it is only a hundred miles away from Jinguan City."

"broken!"

County magistrate Wang slapped his thigh fiercely, and said anxiously to the county lieutenant: "Quick! Send a fast horse to inform Jinguancheng!"

The county lieutenant cupped his hands: "Yes!"

Also hurried down to make arrangements.

However, the commanding soldiers who set out from the city were shot dead by Hua Rong who was hiding on both sides of the road before they left for too long.

The county magistrate and county lieutenant in the county knew nothing about it.

When it was daybreak, Wei Qing's army really couldn't hide anymore. It can also be said that hiding is useless. The cities are relatively close and dense. Yizhou has been stable for several years, and the population is relatively large.

So with hindsight, Jinguancheng realized that a Han army had arrived outside Jinguancheng. Although the number was not large, it was still too shocking to the officials and soldiers in Jinguancheng.

"The hall missed me!"

Ji Changrun patted the handle of the seat and lost his temper in the hall.

A general came out and said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the Han army is only three to five thousand soldiers and horses, and our Jinguan City is high and deep, and there are [-] soldiers guarding the city. They are all elite soldiers with complete armor. .

What's more, my elder brother is leading his troops to Baishuiguan. According to the time, he must pass through Jinguan City in two days. As long as we send sentry cavalry, with my brother's method of commanding troops, he will definitely arrive at Jinguan City in one day. Please also Rest assured, Your Majesty. "

The elder brother mentioned by this person is Wu Zheng, the number one general in Yizhou, and this person is Wu Zheng's younger brother, Wu Kui.

Only then did Ji Changrun put away his thunderous anger, nodded slowly, and said, "In this way, I can rest assured."

Yu Wencheng wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Yu Wenhuaji's eyes.

Then Wu Kui continued: "Your Majesty, the thief general dared to be so rampant with only three to five thousand soldiers. Your Majesty, please allow me to lead three thousand troops out of the city to meet the enemy. Maybe I don't need to wait for my brother to come, so I can kill Wei Qing." His head is dedicated to His Majesty."

At this time, Wang Bi, the guardian of civil servants and the current prime minister of the Zhou Dynasty (the Zhou Dynasty established by Ji Changrun), came out and said: "Your Majesty, the Han army can penetrate dozens of Dafan tribes from the Jingfan trail. Even the strength of taking Quyuguan should not be underestimated, I think it is better to stick to it first, and wait for the arrival of Qin Wang's teacher, this is the safest way."

Wu Kui didn't take it seriously, relying on his brother's status, he couldn't help mocking Wang Mi: "Prime Minister Wang is really too cowardly, the Han army outside the city is an exhausted army of [-], and it is not stable now. If you don't take this opportunity to kill the enemy, why don't you wait for the enemy to rest?"

Wu Kui's words really made all the officials in the palace nod their heads, and what they said was indeed reasonable.
