The area within thirty feet of the commander's flag had long been cleared by the guards' camp.
Governor Feng and General Guan were left alone to chat with each other.
"I can't get through it."
General Guan looked at the broad river, his brows furrowed slightly, his voice was soft, and his red lips pursed slightly, as if he was explaining, but Feng Governor could smell a bit of coquettish complaint.
Where can there be General Guan who leads an army across thousands of miles, destroys enemies like nothing, and makes thieves frightened?
"It's okay, Xijun, you can't do any better."
Under the commander's banner, Governor Feng's tall body seemed to be protecting General Guan:
"Next, let's see what happens to me."
But I saw this man holding a riding whip, speaking boldly, and making a big deal.
People who didn't know it thought he personally led the army and swept all the way from Yanmen to Hedong.
When General Guan heard this, his eyes turned and he smiled:
“I wonder what your master’s clever plan is?”
General Guan was so majestic in front of outsiders that even the generals in the Liangzhou army were in awe.
But now in front of Governor Feng, she did not hide her appearance as a little daughter.
The iron cavalry traveled across thousands of miles, which sounded very powerful and exaggerated.
Except for the Liangzhou Army, no one else would be able to achieve such a record.
Because behind this achievement is strategic planning, logistics, and the unity of soldiers and so on.
From the commander-in-chief's planning, down to the horse transport, to the organization of the army, and as small as a piece of dry food, they are all factors that cannot be ignored.
It was precisely because no one else could do it that Wei Thief was caught off guard and had no time to react.
General Guan knew very well that the more dazzling his performance in this battle was, the more it proved how powerful his Alang was.
So in front of him, I don't need any disguise.
"The trick is gone."
Feng Jishi, who had no idea that his image in General Guan's mind had improved, shook his head, "It's just force overcoming skill."
He looked at Dahe, "Do you know how many miles it is from Pubanjin to Longmendu?"
General Guan replied without hesitation: "Even if it's not three hundred miles, it's not much different."
Although he has not been able to cross the river these days, as a qualified general, General Guan cannot fail to master the things that he should master.
"Three hundred miles..." Governor Feng gestured, "How many troops can Sima Yi send to defend the Three Hundred Miles river?"
"Pu Banjin has at least 20,000 troops. As for Longmen Ferry, although no news has been sent back yet, according to my estimation, it should not be less than 10,000."
In addition to the two large ferries, Pubanjin and Longmendu, there are also some small ferries on the 300-mile river.
Of course, there is no way for a large army to cross the river at a small ferry.
But there is probably no problem if a small group of one or two hundred people travels across the river.
So this is why there are patrols on the opposite side and a beacon is built at the same time.
"It's almost the same number." Governor Feng nodded, agreeing with what General Guan said.
The Wei army in Guanzhong is said to number more than 200,000, but the Han army also has a lot of troops this time.
Old Demon Zhuge can hold back at least 150,000 to 60,000 people from Sima Yi.
The remaining Wei army must guard Qian County, Chencang, Qiaoshan, and Jingshui. Now plus Hexi, there are still some scattered places.
Being able to squeeze out 30,000 horses to defend the other side is already considered a serious matter.
"Thirty thousand people are enough to guard Xijun from crossing the river. But if we add the troops I brought, 30,000 people may not be enough. At least 60,000 are needed."
Governor Feng chuckled.
The Liangzhou army that came to Hedong were all cavalry, plus General Guan's Hu cavalry who surrendered along the way.
If that doesn't work, you can even bring over the farmers from Anyi and Wenxi to build momentum.
By then, there will be armies everywhere along these three hundred miles of river.
Coupled with the large number of cavalry galloping back and forth, it was enough to make the opponent exhausted, and even dragging them down could bring down the other side.
No matter how powerful the opponent's general is, he can distinguish between the main force and the suspects, but if he can defend him once or twice, can he defend him three, four, five or six times?
As long as we can't defend it once, once Liangzhou Jingqi is allowed to cross the river, let alone whether Guanzhong can defend it, it is also a question of whether the more than 200,000 Wei troops in Guanzhong can safely return to Guandong.
"Sixty thousand?" General Guan frowned, "Isn't it too much?"
"Not much." Governor Feng looked to the south with a deep look, "Shanmen has Fenghou as its ancestor. I was born in Shanmen. When I get here, how can I not go to Fengling to worship?"
General Guan was stunned for a moment, then he immediately came to his senses and blurted out: "Fenglingdu?!"
The so-called Fengling is the place where Feng Hou is buried.
There, there is a ferry, facing Tongguan.
General Guan frowned: "But even if the army crosses from Fengling, is there still Tongguan?"
Governor Feng said matter-of-factly: "Yes, the Wei thieves think so too, so they think we won't pass through there, so naturally they won't take precautions."
Having said this, Governor Feng smiled and said, "Controlling Fenglingdu is equivalent to cutting off most of the retreat routes for the Wei thieves in Guanzhong. Do you think Cao Rui will be anxious?"
Why is it mostly a retreat? Because there is still a Wuguan.
But taking Wuguan is much more difficult than taking Tongguan.
Otherwise, the Weihan Ancient Road would not have become the main road connecting Guanzhong and Guandong.
"I'm afraid Sima Yi wouldn't have thought of this, right?"
General Guan still said hesitantly, "Besides, if it's me, as long as Tong Pass is not broken, what should Guanzhong have to fear?"
Governor Feng said in a leisurely tone:
"The person guarding the pass is Sima Yi, not Cao Rui. Even if Sima Yi is not afraid, isn't Cao Rui afraid? Besides, is Sima Yi sure that we really can't cross the river?"
With the ancient Weihan Road cut off, Luoyang's Cao Rui may have to jump around. Whether it will be Sima Yi's turn to have the final say is still a question.
The situation on the battlefield changes instantly. If Sima Yi really wants to be that awesome, he can predict any situation in advance.
Or under the huge pressure of the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, not only can he grasp the battle situation in Guanzhong at any time, but he can even command his generals with ease on how to block the invincible General Guan.
Then he is really much more demonic than the Han Prime Minister.
If this is the case, the big man loses this battle because his skills are not as good as others, so it is not too unfair.
When General Guan heard what Feng Jishi said, he couldn't help but smile. He lightly punched Feng Jishi and said angrily:
"What do you mean by Zongheng Invincible? Don't let anyone listen to it, otherwise it will be a joke!"
Governor Feng laughed, pointed at the river with a riding crop in his hand and said:
"Believe it or not, as long as the Wei thieves know that they are facing General Guan, many people will have a sleepless night?"
As he spoke, he looked at General Guan, "Don't believe it? How about sending a message to the other side in the name of General Guan? Let's see their reaction?"
General Guan's expression suddenly became strange: "Sent it away."
"Um?"
Governor Feng was stunned for a moment and blinked, "Has Mr. Xi had any dealings with the Wei general on the opposite side?"
"That's right!" General Guan sighed and said, "I just want to discuss with the other side to give me a section of the river bank to cross the river, and then we can decide the outcome. Unfortunately, the other side didn't agree."
Seeing General Guan's helpless look, Governor Feng couldn't help but smile:
"General Guan's reputation is so high that the Wei thieves may not dare to agree."
"I didn't agree." General Guan curled his lips and said, "I originally wanted to give them a chance to cross over and attack, but they were actually unwilling to accept it."
"The situation in Guanzhong is getting worse and worse for the Wei thieves now. They are probably just seeking no faults, not meritorious deeds." Governor Feng smiled slightly, "It seems that I have to send a message to the other side."
"What letter should I send?"
"Tell them I'm coming."
"Thief Feng is here?"
After Xian Yufu received a letter from the other side again, his expression suddenly became extremely solemn.
A single pass had already put a lot of pressure on him, and now the addition of the notorious Feng thief made Xian Yufu feel even more stressed.
But when he read the letter, he was a little shocked and angry: "You want to go to Fengling to offer sacrifices? What do you mean?"
Did Thief Feng write a letter specifically to tell him that he was going to Fenglingdu?
This is……
"It's too much!"
Xian Yufu couldn't control his emotions, asked someone to lead the horses, and rushed to the river himself. Sure enough, he saw a group of people on the other side heading south.
"General, there is movement among the Shu captives, what should we do?"
"Immediately send someone to follow them along the river bank." Xian Yufu looked gloomy and stared at the other bank closely, as if he wanted to see the other bank clearly.
Now he finally knew why the name Feng Thief could stop the children in Guanzhong from crying at night.
It was just a letter, but it actually disturbed my thoughts.
"We must find out whether the person facing us is Thief Feng. If it is really him, let's see where he is going."
There has been no news for several months since Thief Feng left Qiaoshan.
If he appeared on the other side at this time, it wouldn't be too outrageous.
After all, from Yanmen to Hedong, how many big cities and dangerous passes are there?
Unable to stop the cavalry led by Guan Suo, this is the most outrageous thing to do to his mother!
After Xian Yufu sent out his troops, he returned to the camp and quickly wrote a military report and sent people to Xicheng.
"Did Thief Feng finally show up?"
In the commander's camp of the Wei army in Yicheng, Sima An, the great general of the Wei state, sat in front of the desk and read the military report sent by Xian Yufu.
There was a trace of surprise on his face, but he quickly regained his composure and threw the military report beside the desk.
There, a mountain-like pile of bamboo slips had been piled up.
Not only were they sent from all over Guanzhong, but also from Luoyang.
On the corner of the desk, there are several stacked bamboo slips. They are the edicts sent by the emperor these days, and they are put aside alone.
Sima Yi put his left hand on the volumes of edicts, patted them subconsciously, and murmured:
"Thief Feng is really going to reach Hedong. It seems that Hexi may not be able to defend it."
It's not that he doesn't believe in Xian Yufu, but that he understands one thing: Xian Yufu can't stop the joint attack of Feng Thief and Guan Suo.
At that time, Cao Zhen's army of 100,000 was defeated by the combination of these two men.
Now that Xian Yufu only has 30,000 people in his hands, it is even more impossible to stop these two people - even if there is a big river to support them, they can't stop them.
For Sima Yi, this battle has long been lost.
It was already lost before it even started.
Because the other party's plan was far-reaching and the actions were huge, far beyond his imagination.
In Sima Yi's view, from the moment the Shu captives entered Sizhou, the Battle of Guanzhong had come to an end.
Therefore, he always pretended not to see the emperor's edict urging him to send troops.
What he has to consider now is not how to defeat Zhuge Liang, but how to minimize losses when exiting Guanzhong.
More importantly, what should I do after exiting Guanzhong?
If you fail to defend your territory, you will be severely punished according to Wei law.
Therefore, in order to prevent their family members from being implicated, the commanders who defended the city often had no choice but to die for their country to clarify their aspirations.
When Longyou was lost, the emperor took advantage of Zhang He's death to return to Luoyang.
After the defeat of Xiaoguan, Cao Zhen fell seriously ill and died.
When Liangzhou was lost, the governor Xu Miao died for his country.
When Bingzhou was lost, the governor Bi Gui died for his country.
Now it's Guanzhong's turn...
Sima Yi took out a secret letter from his arms, which was secretly sent by Liu Fang and Sun Zi.
He would hide this secret letter close to his body when he slept at night.
But I saw him sighing softly: "If Fenglingdu falls into the hands of Feng Thief, the angels will probably not be able to get through, right?"
For these days, Sima Yi had been hoping that the palace would send an angel to come to Guanzhong to officially inform him.
Instead of being like now, I can only guess what is going on with His Majesty and what he wants to do from the letters sent secretly by others.
But it was obvious that he might be disappointed.
His Majesty the Emperor seemed not to want him to know something.
Even if he wanted to wait, the news that Feng Thief appeared in Hedong forced him to make up his mind:
"Somebody come!"
"Da Sima."
"Immediately send people to Qian County, saying that I need to defeat the Ge thieves as soon as possible to save the defeat of Sizhou in Bingzhou. Please lead General Qin to immediately lead the army from Chencang to Wuzhangyuan, and attack the Ge thieves from front to back with me to decide the outcome."
"promise!"
Governor Feng had no idea that just by showing up in Hedong, the main forces of the Han and Wei armies, which had been confronting each other across the river in Wuzhangyuan for more than half a year, began to change.
According to the plan, he led the army all the way south from Pubanjin to Fengling Ferry, and then stopped.
After paying homage to Fengling, Governor Feng began to order the cutting of bamboo trees to make rafts for the forced crossing.
After learning the news, Xian Yufu did not dare to neglect, and quickly sent out troops to support the guards at Tongguan.
Just after part of the Wei army in Pubanjin was transferred away, the Han army on the east bank suddenly started to move.
The rafts and wooden boats that had been prepared long ago began to be pushed into the river by the Han soldiers.
At the same time, some Liangzhou Huqi tied the sheepskins that had been blown in advance to both sides of the war horses, and then drove the war horses into the water.
Horses can swim, and with the help of the sheepskin tube, it is enough to help the war horse swim to the other side.
For a while, people on the riverside were shouting and neighing, making a lot of noise.
When the Wei army on the west bank learned of the movement, they immediately lit beacon smoke and sounded the alarm.
"General, it's bad! The Shu captives seem to want to cross the river!"
After receiving the news, Xian Yufu suddenly stood up and said, "Here comes, prepare your horses!"
When he rushed to the shore and saw the situation on the other side, he suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled:
"I had expected that Thief Feng's trip to Fenglingdu was just a ploy to lure the enemy and lead me to divide our troops. When I saw it today, it was indeed the case!"
Although he sent five thousand people to Tongguan as a precaution, the main force still stayed in Pubanjin, even if he was betting that the Shu captives would still cross the river from Pubanjin.
It seems that this time, the bet was really right.
"Send the order, get in formation!"
"Woooooooo..."
