Chapter 1228: Soldiers seize Xuanyuan Pass without bloodshed
Chapter 1226: Soldiers take Xuanyuan Pass without bloodshed
There are 98 counties in two counties in Yuzhou, four countries, and Runan alone occupies 37 counties, while Runan is the base camp of the Yuan family.
During the Battle of the Han River, in order to deal with Xiang Yu''s hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army, Qin Hao dug out the Han River and flooded the seven armies. As a result, Runan downstream suffered as a result, and hundreds of thousands of refugees were displaced, which became one of Qin Hao''s few black spots.
Several years have passed, and under the vigorous development of the Yuan family and the inclination of resources, and Zhao Kuangyin''s wholehearted governance, Runan has gradually recovered its vitality.
Although Runan County is much worse than before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it is still one of the richest counties today. Raising more than 100,000 soldiers is no problem.
After owning more than 30 counties in Runan, Zhao Kuangyin also initially had the capital to fight against Yuan Shu. Even if Yuan Shu sent Lian Po to lead a 150,000 army to fight, Zhao Kuangyin was still confident to fight.
There are four main reasons why Zhao Kuangyin was able to occupy more than 30 counties in Runan in such a short period of time:
1. In order to support Yuan Shu in unifying Yuzhou, the Yuan family''s foundation also consumed a lot. In addition, most of the personnel moved to Chen County with Yuan Shu, which greatly reduced the Yuan family''s control over Runan;
2. Zhao Kuangyin made sufficient preparations for the day of independence. Many county magistrates and garrisons were his people, and Zhao Kuangyin himself was the prefect of Runan, so it was extremely convenient to act.
3. The army of Yuzhou in Runan was not prepared enough and did not expect that their own people would come to attack him.
It was under the simultaneous operation of these three points that even the rock-solid Runan County for the Yuan family had cracks and finally collapsed completely under Zhao Kuangyin''s unrestrained poaching day and night.
In addition, Zhao Kuangyin''s luck was pretty good, and there were no accidents or variables in the middle, so Zhao Kuangyin had such a pretty good start.
Zhao Kuangyin and Lian Po had a very good personal relationship. Before Lian Po led the army alone, he was even afraid of Yuan Shu because of his relationship with Zhao Kuangyin. As a result, he missed many good opportunities to lead the army and make contributions. Now the two are going to have a duel on the battlefield.
Zhao Kuangyin knew Lian Po. He knew that although the two had a good personal relationship, Lian Po would never show mercy to him because of this, and it would be even more impossible to convince Lian Po by relying on personal relationships.
Lian Po is a truly loyal and righteous man. Even though he knows that Yuan Shu is a mediocre master, he will never vote for his other master.
Unless Yuan Shu takes the initiative to do something to commit suicide, which makes Lian Po completely desperate about him, there is no possibility of Lian Po betrayal.
Since we cannot persuade us to surrender, we can only fight with all our might.
Zhao Kuangyin was not afraid of fighting with Lian Po, but was afraid that when he was fighting with Lian Po, the Qin army suddenly came from behind. Once he faced two attacks, even he might not be able to make up for the truth.
"Lord, don''t worry too much. The current manager of the Qin army is Qin Jian and Tan Daoji on the surface, but in fact it is Jia Xu''s old fox.
Jia Xu is the most cunning person. He wishes that our army will defeat the Yuzhou army and be injured. He will never help the Yuzhou army at this time. Zhao Pu said with a calm look on his face.
Zhao Kuangyin shook his head and said, "One time, another time, I am not afraid that the Qin army will join forces with the Yuzhou army, but I am only afraid that Jia Xu''s old man will take the blame.
Although our army has retreated from Guangcheng Pass, Xuanyuan Pass is still in the hands of our army.
Xuanyuan is related to the safety of the entire Sizhou, and Jia Xu will never give up, but Xuanyuan Pass is also a barrier for our army to resist the Qin army, and this marquis does not want to give up.
If Jia Xu comes to take Xuanyuan Pass at this time, he does not need to attack the city. He just needs to lead the army and will restrain our army''s tens of thousands of troops. ”
In front of Zhao Pu, Zhao Kuangyin expressed the most worrying thing in his heart, but Zhao Pu laughed after hearing this.
"Lord, for our Runan, Xuanyuan Pass is not only not a barrier, but also a death-hunting talisman.
Have you forgotten that Xuanyuan Guan can only block the Qin army in Yique Pass and Guangcheng Pass, but the Qin army can still go around the back of Xuanyuan Pass. "?????Zhao Kuangyin slapped his head suddenly, why did he give me such an important thing? He only focused on the Qin army in Sizhou, but forgot that Zhangling County, among the five counties in Jingbei, actually bordered Runan County, and walking on the Zhangling line could completely detour the back of Xuanyuan Pass.
"If our army has sufficient troops, we can naturally block this surprise soldier, but Lian Po has already restrained most of our army''s troops and has no extra troops to stop the Qin army.
If the Qin army really sends troops to retake Xuanyuan Pass, the Xuanyuan Pass will face a situation of attacking from the front and back, and it is undoubtedly unrealistic to rely solely on the defenders in the pass to defend it.
Since we are destined to be unable to defend, why should we divide our troops to protect one? Xuanyuan Pass, which is optional for our army? ”
At this moment, Zhao Pu looked at Zhao Kuangyin with a serious face and said in a deep voice: "Lord, for our army, the most urgent task is to stabilize the situation and defeat Yuan Shu, rather than to make enemies everywhere.
Zhao Pu believes that the Qin army is the only ally that our army can win over at present, so we should make friends with the Qin army at all costs, even if we take the initiative to give up Xuanyuan Pass. ”
Zhao Pu''s words made Zhao Kuangyin suddenly enlightened. Because he had just started a war with the front army, he subconsciously regarded the Qin army as his opponent, but ignored that the relationship between the two sides had changed.
"What the military advisor said is reasonable. Xuanyuan Pass is indeed good for our army, and now our army is indeed not suitable for two-line wars."
After saying a deep voice, Zhao Kuangyin said again: "Since Xuanyuan Pass is useless to our army, and the Qin army is determined to win over Xuanyuan Pass, it is not impossible to use Xuanyuan Pass to win over the Qin army.
Military advisor, I will leave it to you to do the matter of returning the Qin army to Xuanyuan Pass. ”
"No." Zhao Pu responded in a deep voice.

Yique Pass.
Qin Qiong led all the generals and asked Jia Xu for his orders: "Military advisor, now Lian Po and Zhao Kuangyin are fighting, and most of Zhao Kuangyin''s troops are restrained by Lian Po. This is the best time for our army to regain Xuanyuan Pass."
"Yes, military advisor, once Xuanyuan Pass is recaptured, all the eight passes of Luoyang are in hand, and the defense line on the eastern line of Sizhou will be completely improved."
Guan Sheng said, and then the other generals also made suggestions, and all they said were just remarks of asking for battle.
Seeing this, Jia Xu laughed and said, "Don''t worry, fighting is the worst strategy, and defeating others without fighting is the best strategy.
Don''t worry, in ten days, Zhao Kuangyin will take the initiative to return Xuanyuan Pass. ”
All the generals showed disbelief when they heard this. After all, the location of Xuanyuan Pass was really important. Regarding the ownership of Xuanyuan Pass, the Qin army and the Yuzhou army also negotiated no less than ten times, and in the end it was left alone, so how could Zhao Kuangyin take the initiative to return it?
Seeing that the generals believed it, Jia Xu did not explain too much. For the superiors, if they explained everything clearly to their subordinates, it would seem that the subordinates were too incompetent. In short, time will prove everything.
What Jia Xu said was ten days, but just after the fifth day, Zhao Kuangyin''s envoy Zhao Pu arrived at Yique Pass, and what he did was to return Xuanyuan Pass. Now the Qin generals were completely convinced by Jia Xu.
At this point, the Qin army took back Xuanyuan Pass without bloodshed, and the defense on the eastern front of Sizhou was completely improved.
