Yang'an Pass.
The road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to reach the blue sky.
A few hundred miles west of Hanzhong, there is a small town called Yangpingguan, also known as Yanganguan. To the north is the Qinling Mountains, to the south are Daba Mountain and Micang Mountain, and the Jialing River passes by the town.
The Yang'an Pass of the Han Dynasty was built here.
The location of Yang'an Pass is extremely dangerous. It leads to Sichuan in the south, Lueyang in the north, Longxi in the west, and Hanzhong in the east. It is the military center of Yizhou.
Standing on the Guancheng of Yang'an Pass, you can see green mountains and green waters in the distance. The scenery is very pleasant. The breeze blows from the valley, which is refreshing and cool, making people feel comfortable all over.
"If it weren't for the chaos in the world, wouldn't it be great to live here all the time, pick chrysanthemums and plant mulberry trees at the foot of the mountain, read and write ink in your spare time, and plow the fields when you are busy!" Looking at the infinitely beautiful mountains and rivers, Gan Ning couldn't help but sigh.
"The Commander-in-Chief is a great man in the world, how can he do nothing but pick chrysanthemums and plant mulberry trees? I think he must be missing his wife at home." Huo Jun laughed teasingly.
Gan Ning was a peaceful man and got along well with his generals.
This is also the reason why Huo Jun dares to joke.
Gan Ning laughed: "It has been a few months since I came out. Think about it, my wife is still being teased by you, Zhong Miao! You are not married yet. When you get married and have children, you will understand what I am thinking."
Huo Jun smiled and said nothing.
At this time, Tan Ma hurriedly came from outside the pass. This was sent out by Gan Ning to spy on information. Seeing Tan Ma coming back so eagerly, the Shu army must be coming soon.
Not long after, Tan Ma ran up to the city:
"Commander, the Shu army came out of Jinniu Road and passed through Jianmen Pass. It is less than a hundred miles away from here. It is expected that they will arrive at Yang'an Pass tomorrow."
"The speed is quite fast."
Gan Ning sneered. It has only been seven or eight days since the Shu army set off from Chengdu, and they are already approaching Yang'an Pass, and the speed is not unpleasant.
"Liu Biao's attack is a speed battle. If Liu Zhang doesn't move faster, he might not even be able to drink the soup." Huo Jun said.
"Well, Zhang Ren is camped fifty miles away. There has been no movement so far. He is probably waiting for Liu Zhang's order and for these reinforcements. Let's prepare to see if there is a chance to attack the camp." Gan Ning looked into the distance. The Shu army camped at the base, planning the possibility of a night attack in their minds.
"The enemy troops will arrive outside the pass tomorrow. There will be chaos in the camp by then. We can take the opportunity to attack the camp." Huo Jun nodded.
The next day.
The Sichuan reinforcements arrived at the camp outside Guancheng in the afternoon, and the noise could be heard as far away as Guancheng.
Inside Guancheng.
Gan Ning gathered in the hall and sat majestically high, with the generals on his left and right standing below.
"Tonight the reinforcements of the Shu army have arrived, and tomorrow we will launch a critical battle. However, when the Shu army comes from afar, we must first weaken its spirit. Everyone, who dares to defeat the enemy first and weaken its spirit?"
Ji Ling came out and said, "Someone is willing to go."
Gan Ning asked: "How many troops and horses should I bring?"
Ji Ling: "Three thousand people are enough."
At this time, Huo Jun stood up and said: "General Ji, three thousand men and horses are going to attack the camp. The large number of people and the mixed horses will definitely attract the attention of Cao Jun. Why don't I go there? I can defeat the enemy with only a hundred horses."
Ji Ling was taken aback, looked at the martial arts champion, thought for a while and said: "Zhong Miao, Zhang Ren is a general in Sichuan. Don't underestimate the enemy. How can you defeat the enemy with hundreds of cavalry? Don't risk your life."
Huo Jun laughed: "If you are not arrogant, you already have a strategy in mind. General Ji doesn't need to worry."
When Gan Ning proposed a night attack before, Huo Jun started planning a night attack. After thinking about it for a day and a night, he finally came up with an ingenious plan to attack the camp.
Seeing that Huo Jun was confident, everyone became curious.
How can a hundred cavalry defeat 80,000 enemies?
Gan Ning cast a questioning look at Huo Jun. After receiving Huo Jun's firm gaze, he nodded and said: "Since General Huo has a plan, let's mobilize the elite soldiers of the Hundred Cavalry. Tonight, we will wait and see."
Huo Jun clasped his fists: "Please wait for the good news about someone."
The second watch of the night.
Huo Jun took a hundred white goose feathers and distributed them to a hundred elite cavalry, and put them on their helmets as numbers. They all put on their armor and mounted their horses, left the city gate, and galloped to the edge of the Shu army stronghold.
At this time, the tired Shu army was sound asleep, and the entire military camp was very quiet.
After seeing clearly what was going on inside, Huo Jun waved his hand, and several dark figures walked over secretly, quietly pulling off the antlers and clearing the way.
Then Baiqi got on his horse.
"kill--!"
Huo Jun shouted loudly, rushed into the stronghold, and ran towards the Chinese army to kill Zhang Ren.
It turned out that the Chinese army and horses used chariots to ambush the road and surrounded them like iron barrels. Foreign troops could not enter, but Huo Jun only led a hundred cavalry, charging left and right.
When the Shu army heard the killing cry, they immediately panicked. They didn't know how many enemy troops there were, and they disturbed each other.
"Come and kill with me!"
Huo Jun galloped his horse, galloping across the camp, killing the enemy whenever he encountered. The drums of each camp of the Shu army were beating loudly, warning of an enemy attack, which made the Shu army even more panicked. They raised fire like stars and shouted loudly.
Huo Jun fought out from the south gate of Shuzhai, no one dared to take him, then turned back and fought in.
Inside the Chinese army's tent.
Zhang Ren stood in front of the land, thinking about the attack on the city tomorrow. Suddenly he heard the shouts outside. He was shocked at first, and then realized that this was an enemy attack on the camp.
But what surprised him was why no warning was issued in advance?
As the commander-in-chief of the Shu army, he naturally guessed that the enemy would probably attack the camp tonight, so he set up a secret sentinel outside to keep an eye on the enemy. However, he did not expect that the enemy troops who attacked the camp were only a hundred people. They were small in number and made little movement, so they did not cause any trouble at all. The attention of the secret whistle led Huo Jun to rush into the stronghold.
When Zhang Ren reacted, Huo Jun led more than a hundred cavalry back to the army.
He immediately ordered: "Both armies on the left and right, return to intercept and kill the people passing by. We must not let them leave the camp safely!"
"General, the left and right armies have been disrupted and cannot stop the troops from resisting!" Wu Yi led dozens of personal guards over to surround Zhang Ren's safety.
Zhang Ren was furious: "I'm coming! Guards will follow me!"
After giving the order, he quickly picked up his weapon, mounted his horse and charged towards Huo Jun. The others hurriedly mounted their horses and followed Zhang Ren, and Wu Yi also hurriedly followed.
But Huo Jun was faster.
When Zhang Ren led the attack, he had already rushed out of the Shu army camp and set fire to their camp gate.
Zhang Ren came to the camp gate and looked at the raging fire, and the anger in his heart was even stronger than it.
"General Zhang! I am leading a hundred cavalry tonight. I am here for a trip. There is no need to send them far!" The two armies were a hundred steps apart. Huo Jun halted his horse and turned around to shout at Zhang Ren.
"Who are you?" Zhang Ren shouted.
"A certain person is a martial arts champion, and so is Huo Jun, the general who conquered the east!" Huo Jun's voice was loud.
"Huo Jun!"
Zhang Ren remembered this name deeply.
Huo Jun led hundreds of cavalry back to the city, not losing one man or one horse. He ordered hundreds of people to wave torches and shout: "Wonderful victory!"
The cheers shook the heaven and the earth.
When Gan Ning and others heard the movement outside, they were overjoyed and opened the city gate to welcome everyone.
Huo Jun dismounted, his eyes shining: "Fortunately, the mission has been fulfilled," and then pointed at the more than a hundred cavalry behind him: "A hundred cavalry went out, a hundred cavalry returned, without losing a single soldier or a single cavalry."
Everyone patted Huo Jun's shoulders and cheered.
The entire Guancheng was ablaze with stars, and the cheers could be heard as far away as the Shu army camp.
