Chapter 338: Do not follow the routine


    Chapter 337: Playing cards without following routines


    Mengjin Pass was an important ferry gate on the Yellow River in ancient times. It was an important gate to the north of Luoyang in all dynasties and was a place that military strategists must fight for.


    Mengjin Pass is divided into two parts: Mengjin Pass and Mengjin Pass, which is now one of the three peripheral portals of the Han Dynasty.


    Different from Hulao Pass and Xuanyuan Pass, Mengjin Pass is the only pass that relies on water, so if you want to conquer Mengjin Pass, you must have a navy.


    Everyone knows that there is no navy in the Yellow Turban, but the Han army did not reduce the defense of Mengjin Pass because of this.


    The defense of Mengjin Pass is not inferior to Xuanyuan Pass. In addition to the tens of thousands of defenders placed in the pass, five thousand naval troops were transferred from Jiangdong during the Mengjin Ferry.


    The Han Dynasty was really cautious, but in the end, Mengjin Pass was still broken by Xiang Yu, and it was lost inexplicably.


    First of all, there was no navy in the Yellow Turban, so how did you conquer Mengjindu?


    If you do not capture Mengjindu, you will not be able to capture Mengjin Pass, but even if you capture Mengjindu, Mengjin Pass will not even have time to react.


    How did Xiang Yu do it in such a short time that he conquered Mengjindu and Mengjin Pass?


    Secondly, Xiang Yu could take down Mengjin Pass so quickly, which shows that there were a lot of troops allocated this time, and they were all elite.


    Such a large-scale allocation of troops cannot be transported by one or two ships, and it requires a large number of warships to be transported.


    The Han army never received news that the Yellow Turbans built warships, and relying solely on civilian ships was definitely not enough. The Han army did not receive news that the Yellow Turbans had recruited civilian ships.


    So where did these transport ships come from?


    Qin Hao didn''t know how Xiang Yu completed this step, and then easily won the Mengjin Pass in a blitzkrieg, but he knew that this had definitely been planned for a long time.


    Even if you take down Mengjin Pass, it doesn’t mean you can defend it. However, the only Han cavalry that can retake Mengjin Pass is now concentrated in Xuanyuan Pass.


    Is this a coincidence?


    Absolutely impossible.


    Although there is no evidence, Qin Hao knew that these were definitely planned in advance, and Xiang Yu was the center of the entire conspiracy.


    Qin Hao had many unknown things before, but now it seems that Xuanyuan Pass is probably part of the Yellow Turban Plan.


    Let 100,000 Yellow Turbans be used as bait in Kaifeng to lure 50,000 Han cavalry to take the bait so that the Han cavalry could not rescue Mengjin Pass.


    One by one, one by one, it’s really a deep calculation.


    Now in Kaifeng, the Yellow Turbans fight against the 45,000 Han cavalry on the plain with 100,000 infantry soldiers, which is almost a battle to be defeated.


    Even Zhang Jiao cannot let the 100,000 army be abandoned, so there is no need to think about it and know that there must be a trap ahead.


    So it is not unreasonable for Qin Wen to ask Qin Hao to give up his plan and return to the army to stand by. God knows what else is there in the Yellow Turban conspiracy?


    In the case where the enemy is dark and we are bright, it is undoubtedly extremely irrational to act rashly.


    There are only two roads in front of Qin Hao now.


    First, withdraw troops.


    But even so, I can''t save Mengjin Pass.


    In this round and time, Xiang Yu had enough time to clean up Mengjin Pass. At that time, Qin Hao could not use cavalry to attack the city, right?


    The second is to stay and continue fighting.


    There is obviously a Yellow Turban trap in Kaifeng. Qin Hao even doubts whether the one waiting for him ahead is the one who is 100,000 Yellow Turban Army?


    Kaifeng is so close to Yanzhou, if it is prepared in advance, it is not impossible for Huang Chao to transfer 200,000 to 300,000 yuan.


    Qin Hao only has 45,000 cavalrymen. Can he really eat so many Yellow Turban Army?


    It would be unprofitable if you don’t hold on to death at that time.


    "Champion Hou, what are you going to do now?" Xun Yu asked with a serious face.


    Xun Yu is a Confucian and a loyal member of the Han Dynasty. So even if Qin Hao told him about this information, it would be nothing, and he could still give him a good impression.


    "The general is on the outside, and he will not accept anything." Qin Hao smiled indifferently and said, "It''s useless to lead all the cavalry back now, so I will naturally stay and fight to eliminate many of the main forces of the Yellow Turbans."


    "There is a trap set by the Yellow Turban in front..."


    Qin Hao waved his hand to interrupt Xun Yu''s later words, and smiled confidently, "What''s going on?"


    Xun Yu was stunned, turned to laugh, and said, "General is so bold."


    "This road ahead is destined to be extremely dangerous. Brother Wen Ruo is willing to help me?"


    "So I wish, I dare not ask for it."


    Qin Hao breathed a sigh of relief. Although he did not directly conquer Xun Yu, he finally made a good relationship and the possibility of Xun Yu surrendering to him must be greater.


    With Xun Yu in this battle, at least most of the traps should not be hidden from Xun Yu''s eyes, which also makes Qin Hao''s trip much safer.


    "The entire army stopped advancing and immediately sent a message to Lu Bu, stop the combat plan and come to meet with the large army."


    Knowing that there was a trap ahead, Qin Hao would naturally not be so stupid that he took the initiative to step in, so he decisively gave up his previous combat plan.


    However, abandoning the original combat plan does not mean that the combat will be stopped.


    After the fall of Mengjin Pass, the initiative has been put into the hands of the Yellow Turbans, and the center of the next war will definitely be concentrated in Mengjin Pass.


    The Han army must have reckoned with all their might, while Xiang Yu was trying to defend it.


    Qin Hao doesn’t like passiveness. He likes to take the initiative into his own hands, so he doesn’t play according to the rules.


    "Send the order, the back team will change to the front team, and the entire army will march eastward at full speed, telling Lu Bu that I will wait for him under Chenliu City." Qin Hao ordered again.


    "Chen Liu?"


    Jiang Jiong, who was guarding Qin Hao, was stunned and turned to shock and said, "Young Master, isn''t that the Yellow Turban base camp? The Young Master really wants to go there?"


    With the consumption and allocation of troops, the Yellow Turbans stayed in Yanzhou, with a force of at least 600,000 to 700,000, and at least 100,000 to 200,000 in Chenliu.


    Now Qin Hao is going to take all 45,000 cavalrymen to Chenliu, which is not much different from taking the initiative to come to his house to die.


    "The center is blooming?" Xun Yu was stunned at first, then smiled and said, "This is a bad solution."


    "Brother Wen Ruo isn''t you afraid that I will step into a bigger trap? You must know that Chenliu is not only the base camp of the Yellow Turbans, but also the granary of the Yellow Turbans. We may face the encirclement and suppression of hundreds of thousands of troops when we go."


    Qin Hao said such a terrifying thing in an extremely relaxed tone, and Jiang Jiong next to him turned pale.


    A glimmer flashed in Xun Yu''s eyes and he said slowly: "Champion Hou''s move seems rash, but it is the only way to break the deadlock at present. Champion Hou has made a decision in his heart, so naturally he doesn''t need Yu to say more."


    "Those who gave birth to me are parents, and those who knew me were literary like brothers."


    Qin Hao chuckled and said, "How can he break the Yellow Turban layout and find Huang Chao''s flaws if he doesn''t point directly at the lifeblood of the Yellow Turban? Playing according to the routine will not beat Huang Chao."


    "Don''t follow the routine?" Xun Yu said to himself.


    ?Because it involves a strategy, Liuxiang has a bit of a card in the past two days. It is really difficult to write about strategies and the latter is more exciting, which is definitely beyond everyone''s imagination.
