Chapter 486: Detour
Historical records.
The sixth year of Taichu, mid-June.
A large-scale battle broke out between the Qin and Yan armies outside Fengzhou City.
The final result of this battle was that the Qin army won a great victory and Li Shimin fled in defeat.
Almost all of Yan's elite troops were lost, leaving only 200,000 troops to retreat south with Li Shimin.
As for the Qin State, there are still 300,000 elite troops ready to fight.
Now, in addition to the battle between Dafeng and Qi in Yan territory.
Only Cao Cao's side remained, and the outcome was still undecided.
Bai Qi, Dong Zhuo and others continued to chase Li Shimin.
Originally, Li Jing, who was in Muye Pass, planned to break out at the beginning of the year.
However, Cao Cao blocked his charges several times, leaving him trapped in the city.
At this moment, Li Jing has been unaware of the situation in the outside world for several months, and he has no idea that his emperor has suffered a crushing defeat.
now.
Outside Muye Pass, in Cao’s army camp.
Cao Cao said to Wei Qing and others:
"In about three days, Your Majesty will be able to join our army."
"By then, our army will be able to launch a general attack on Muye Pass."
Mentioning the moment when Ying Yuan is about to arrive.
Wei Qing, Fu Hao, Chen Qingzhi, Guan Yu, Wang Jian, Lu Bu and others were all a little excited.
A battle on the grassland forced the Three Kingdoms to surrender.
Especially Ogedei, the ruler of the Yuan Dynasty, regarded Ying Yuan as his "father".
This battle shocked the people living in the vast land of China.
Naturally, they wanted to meet the long-lost God of War.
Moreover, they had a premonition that with the arrival of the emperor, the so-called Muye Pass would no longer be a problem.
"While Your Majesty is here, Lü Bu, Chen Qingzhi, and Guan Yu, you three must take turns attacking the city. Don't give the enemy any chance to rest."
Cao Cao gave the order.
Ever since Zhao Yun killed Luo Cheng in battle last time, the enemy's morale has been much lower than before.
Before Ying Yuan arrived.
Cao Cao then began to attack Muye Pass fiercely.
To lay the groundwork for the general offensive after his arrival.
However, as the fight went on, Li Jing discovered a huge problem.
He stood on the top of Muye Pass and said to the soldiers beside him:
"The Qin army suddenly increased its siege force. I think they got supplies."
"If our army continues to hold on, I'm afraid we will be defeated sooner or later..."
"What do you think?"
This unprecedented war between Qin and Yan was only halfway through.
Several generals of Yan State were killed in battle one after another.
Li Jing was extremely anxious.
If he wants to make a difference in the overall situation, he must break out.
Gao Shi, who was standing by, bowed and said:
"General Li, I believe that our army's two previous attempts to break out failed because we didn't try our best."
"Although General Li wants to preserve our army's manpower, the Qin army has no intention of letting any of us go."
"Therefore, I beg General Li to lead the only 300,000 troops in our city to break out in one direction."
As soon as the words fell.
Li Jing fell into deep thought.
At this time, Hou Junji also echoed: "General Gao is right. We should gamble everything, even if it may result in greater casualties."
"But for our army, there is no other choice."
"Over the past few days, I have carefully observed the surrounding terrain and discovered that there are several large mountains to the west of Muye Pass."
"The mountain road is rugged and runs in the opposite direction of our Yan capital. The Qin army will definitely not guess that our army is marching through those mountains."
"Use this to take a detour and join His Majesty."
detour?
This journey will take more than ten days or half a month!
However, this is indeed a good idea.
On the east side, the Qin army's defense was the weakest.
The main reason is that no one would have thought that Li Jing would break out from that direction.
"Bring me the feng shui map."
Li Jing said in a deep voice.
Then, he looked at the map, pointed in the direction of the mountains, and said:
"Cloud Dusk Mountains?"
"Hou Junji, who do you think would be the most suitable person to defend the city if our army breaks out?"
Li Jing gradually made a decision in his heart.
The only way is to make trouble in the place where the Qin army least expects it.
Only then can you have a good harvest.
After the army broke through, the defenders had only one fate.
That means the city will be destroyed and everyone will die.
But...
Who dares to defend the city?
Hou Junji was silent for a moment, then slowly said:
"Well...I will obey General Li's orders."
He threw the question to Li Jing.
Hou Junji knew in his heart that he was capable.
Therefore, it is impossible for Li Jing to throw him to this place.
While Li Jing was hesitating, Gao Shi suddenly bowed deeply and said:
"General Li, let me defend the city!"
"If I can hold out until General Li completely withdraws his troops, I hope General Li will take good care of my Gao family in the future!"
As soon as these words were spoken.
Li Jing no longer hesitated and immediately patted his shoulder, saying earnestly:
"Don't worry, as long as I am still in the court, your Gao family will always have a path to officialdom."
Gao Shi nodded solemnly, "Li Shuai, please!"
Let’s talk about the other side.
Ying Yuan returned victorious from the grassland, leading an army of 600,000 and approaching Muye Pass.
Zhu Di said to him, "Your Majesty, a scout just sent a letter saying that Prime Minister Cao is making every effort to attack Muye Pass."
"Once our army arrives, we can take this pass in one fell swoop!"
Hear this.
Ying Yuan's heart was suddenly filled with contradictions and worries.
