Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 137
(The Longxi road map has been posted to the Northern Expedition comment section.)
Baoxie Road is a valley road formed by two valleys, Xieshui (now called Shitou River), a tributary of the Wei River, and Baoshui, a tributary of the Han River. It is a typical valley passage.

In the first month, Huang Quan and Zhao Yun arrived at the mouth of Xiegu. Huang Quan ordered Zhao Yun to lead a small army, set up more flags, cross the Xieshui, and pretend to attack Meicheng, while he himself led a large army to camp in Wuzhangyuan.

Cao Zhen quickly mobilized more than [-] soldiers in Guanzhong to rescue Meicheng. When the army marched to the north of the Weishui River.Thousands of Zhao Yun faced each other across the water, and then Zhao Yun crossed back to the inclined water.

Cao Zhen didn't know the depth of Huang Quan, so he thought about staying the same and responding to all changes, so he stationed outside the city of Mei and confronted the Han army across the slanting water.

For more than ten days in a row, Huang Quan did not move, and the Han army camp was very quiet.When Cao Zhen was confused, he got a report at this time. Zhuge Liang sent his troops out of Longyou, and Anding County in the north of Guanzhong rebelled.

Cao Zhencai suddenly realized that the soldiers in front of him were suspicious soldiers, and their purpose was to contain him.

So Cao Zhen couldn't help becoming anxious. At present, the only way to quickly defeat the Han army in front of him is to get out to quell the rebellion and rescue Longxi.

Guanzhong, east of the inclined water, is Meicheng.

Cao Zhen looked solemn, looking at the map on the case, he already realized that the person on the other side of the river was not Zhuge Liang, but General Huang Quan of Shu Han Wei.

Under the case is the ashamed Wang Shuang. Last night Cao Zhen sent Wang Shuang to smuggle across Xishui, but was stopped by Zhao Yun of the Han army and suffered heavy losses.

Cao Zhen kept tapping Wuzhangyuan on the map with his index finger, while his eyes moved anxiously to other places.

Cao Zhenxin couldn't help feeling a little regretful. The lessons learned from several failed smuggling made him realize that the Han general Huang Quanjun was no less fearful than himself, but he gave him a lot of time to deploy troops, and he feared that it would be difficult to defeat him in a short time.

Cao Zhen's eyes were scattered, and he suddenly glanced at Beiyuan, north of the Wei River, and pondered for a long time.

After Cao Zhen made up his mind, Fang raised his head, looked at Wang Shuang sharply, and said slowly: "Ziquan (Wang Shuangzi), tonight you and 3000 people will take advantage of the darkness to cross the Wei River and go to Beiyuan to rest; tomorrow night, you Then cross the Weishui River from Beiyuan, and support the army to cross the Xishui River, is it possible to do it?"

After hearing this, Wang Shuang straightened his back, cupped his hands and replied in a low voice: "The last general takes orders, and he will live up to the great general's trust."

Cao Zhen nodded, expressing his satisfaction. Wang Shuang is more than eight feet tall, with a thick back, black face and yellow eyes, brave and powerful, and has been fighting with Cao Ren, just like a general of the Cao family.

When Cao Pi attacked Wu on three routes, Wang Shuang fought with the army at the Battle of Ruxukou. He was captured alive by Zhu Huan because he did not know how to swim. I also like it very much.

Cao Zhen looked at another person in the tent. This person was also extremely majestic, and compared to Wang Shuang, he was more resourceful and strategic.

Cao Zhen looked at Hao Zhao's rough face and said with a light smile, "Tonight, Bodao Gong (Hao Zhao) will cross the river again to cover up our army's intentions."

"No, the general will cross the river from the upper reaches of the inclined water tonight, so as to help Ziquan cross the Weihe River in the north." Hao Zhao replied with cupped hands.

Soon it was late at night, in Guanzhong in winter, every night was cold and quiet.

In the cold night, everything is silent, only the bright moon hangs in the night sky, illuminating the dark night, and reflecting the crescent moon on the clear and transparent slanting water.

At this time, the Han army held high their torches like a fire dragon, marching quickly south of the flat Wei River.

Zhao Yun stopped his horse on the gentle slope, and with the dim light of the torch, he hurriedly said to his son Zhao Tong beside him: "Notify the army to cross the Wei River quickly and seize Beiyuan."

Zhao Tong led his personal guards to the rear of the army, followed the long fire dragon, and shouted while driving the horse: "The general has an order to cross the river quickly and eat and rest in the north of the river."

Although Huang Quan had few troops, he had great ambitions. In response to Zhuge Liang's northern expedition to Longyou, after leaving Baoxie Valley, he realized that if he occupied Beiyuan, he could temporarily cut off the connection between Longyou and Guanzhong, and if he could further harass the Weibei area, It can better assist Zhuge Liang in the Northern Expedition to Longyou.

After preventing Cao Zhen from crossing the sloping water many times, Huang Quan finally took action and ordered Zhao Yun to lead 5000 people to cross the Wei River to the north at night and occupy Beiyuan.

If you look down from the sky now, you can find two fire dragons marching towards a destination on the Weibei Plain.

"General, there is fire in the west." Suddenly, Wang's parents pointed to the west and shouted in surprise.

Wang Shuang looked westward intently, and saw a long dragon made of torches in the distance, faintly visible, walking through the dark night.

Wang Shuang frowned, not knowing whether it was an enemy or a friend. If it was a friendly army, the general would not have told himself; if it was an enemy army, he would definitely march from north to south.

Wang Shuang squinted his eyes, but saw that the fire dragon was indeed marching from south to north, and now it turned and marched from west to east.

In an instant, Wang Shuang's face showed determination, he reined in tightly, and shouted angrily: "Enemy attack, quickly line up."

Turning to the guards behind him, he shouted, "Quickly tell the general that the Shu army is crossing the Wei River at night, asking for support."

In an instant, the Wei army's bugles sounded in unison, and three thousand soldiers held torches and arranged them in a neat army formation in an orderly manner at night.

Bugles sounded one after another, and Qu Chang and others in the formation stared at Wang Shuangya Banner with serious expressions. Although it was pitch black, they could be vaguely seen by the cold moonlight and the dim torches nearby.

Wang Shuang rode on the horse, and when he heard the sound of the bugle in the army formation fade away, he knew that the army was ready, so he sneered and waved his hand to signal to march.

In Wang Shuang's eyes, this Han army was looking for its own death, and dared to cross the Wei River and go deep into the enemy's rear. At first, he and the general were worried that it would not be able to hold on, but now it was a god-given opportunity. As long as he bit it in the dark, the general Reinforcement from the general will arrive soon, and this lone army will soon be destroyed in the Weibei Plain.

"The general has an order to march west!"

"The general has an order to march west!"

"The general has an order to march west!"

Cao Wei's army, after finishing the formation, turned to the west and headed towards the fire dragon the next moment they received the military order.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun, who was marching eastward, pulled the reins tightly, reined in the trottering horse, and solemnly said to Fu Xun who stopped together, "Zi Ji, you will lead the Chinese army to fight later, and you will have to fight at the beginning." When attacking fiercely, remember not to hesitate. Remember that in night battles, momentum is very important, if you have strong energy, you will win, and if your energy is weak, you will die."

"Xu will always remember General Zhao's words, please be careful." Fu Xun replied solemnly, clasping his hands.

Then Zhao Yun turned his head to look at Zhao Tong with loving eyes, and told him: "Bo Ji, wait and you need to stay close to General Fu, and don't follow me."

"Excuse me, it's hard for me to follow my orders. If my father fights, the child will follow!" Zhao Tong replied sincerely.

After Zhao Yun heard about it, he shook his head and smiled lightly: "Forget it, you just follow me to fight, and be more careful on the battlefield."
