Chapter 75 Long-term separation

In history, Cao Cao fought with Liu Bei in Hanzhong. When Cao Cao went south, he followed Chencang's old road, and when he returned after defeat, he went from Baoxie Road. He built a plank road openly and crossed Chencang secretly. The "plank road" also refers to Baoxie Road. Baoxie Road is rugged and difficult to walk, and it is inexplicable. Lu Bu could not go south from this road, because as long as he was at the exit of Baoxie Road to Hanzhong, even if only thousands of troops were placed to block it, he could cut off his way and make him return without success. However, Guo Jia dared to take this road into Guanzhong.

After Zhang Liao took Hanzhong, Guo Jia asked about the situation of Baoxiao Road and Ziwu Road. Baoxiao Road was destroyed during the battle between Chu and Han, but it began to be rebuilt during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han. Zhang Lu wanted to destroy the southern end of Baoxiao Road, but before he could have time, he took Hanzhong. As for Ziwu Road crossing the Qinling Mountains and taking Chang'an, it was also difficult and dangerous. Zhang Liao was in Hanzhong. Guo Jia specially reminded him to be familiar with these two roads to Guanzhong.

Guo Jia led his army to enter Guanzhong and cut off Lu Bu's retreat. The shortcut was Baoxie Road, because the northern end of Baoxie Road was at the east of Chencang. If Guo Jia walked on Ziwu Road, he would definitely be fighting Chang'an, but he could not risk the tyranny of the world to destroy the Han Dynasty.

Let Zhang Liao delay Lu Bu for more than half a month to buy time for Guo Jia. From Zitong County to Hanzhong, if it was to support Zhang Liao, a three-day trip would be enough. However, if Guo Jia had to lead his army from Hanzhong through the dangerous Baoxi Road, the marching speed would naturally be very slow.

Unexpectedly, Guo Jia planned to destroy Lu Bu's supporters first, but he did not expect that Chen Cang had no heavy troops at all, but Lu Bu's military supplies and food. After taking these foods and foods, Guo Jia led his army to attack the old ways, intending to attack Lu Bu with Zhang Liao in front and behind.

Lu Bu fought for more than half a month, but only advanced less than a hundred miles. If he marched urgently, he would catch up within a day. However, Guo Jia was not in a hurry and led his army to move forward slowly. He attacked Chen Cang with great fanfare. Someone would definitely escape to report to Lu Bu and Chang'an. After Lu Bu received the news, he would definitely retreat in a panic and wanted to escape before his retreat was blocked.

The actual situation is as Guo Jia expected, Lu Bu withdraws his troops in a hurry

"General Lu Bu retreated, and he retreated very quickly, and it seemed that he had no plans to cut off the rear."

Zhang Liao, who was confronting Lu Bu, was soon informed by Yan Yan, and Zhang Liao fell into deep thought.

Yan Pu has always been cautious and said, "There will be no tricks, right? Lu Bu is also a general with a good reputation. How could he be so panicked when he withdraws his troops? Aren't you afraid of us pursuing us? Or is he pretending to retreat to lure our troops to pursue us?"

In other cases, Zhang Liao would have the same idea as Yan Pu, but at this moment, he punched the table with a solemn expression and said in a deep voice: "Calling the day, the lord's army must have already stepped out of the Baoxi Road. I'm afraid Lu Bu is not pretending to withdraw his troops, but really withdrawing troops. Moreover, there must be a problem in his rear, so he is now running for the order to pursue the entire army. General Yan, military advisor, you two lead the army on both sides, and join me in three groups to chase Lu Bu."

Zhang Liao was the head coach. Since military orders had been issued, Yan Yan and Yan Pu would no longer think randomly. Just do it. Yan Yan was not convinced by Zhang Liao at first, but after confronting Lu Bu for half a month, he was completely convinced by Zhang Liao and lamented that the lord had a lot of talents under his tent.

Soon, the entire Zhang Liao army was dispatched, with the commander Zhang Liao, the side general Yan Yan and the military advisor Yan Pu leading the troops to the north.

After entering the old path, Guo Jia ordered the entire army to be vigilant and prepare for the battle at all times.

"Lord, why did you take Chen Cang but don't defend Chen Cang? Chen Cang is a strategic location from Yizhou to Guanzhong." Meng Da followed Guo Jia, and couldn't figure out why Guo Jia spit out the fat meat in his mouth. Not to mention that Chen Cang's strategic position is important, even an ordinary city, it is hard to imagine that he doesn't care about Guo Jia, and throw it away as soon as he says he wants.

Guo Jia did not answer Meng Da, but instead said to Fa Zheng: "Xiaozhi, you will answer Zidu's question."

Fa Zheng's face was a little embarrassed because his style of expression was already familiar to Guo Jia. If he had the opportunity to show off, Guo Jia would call him to come.

"Chen Cang is indeed a strategic location, but the situation in Guanzhong is unclear. The lord's garrison Chen Cang will attract strong enemies, with few garrisons, and cannot defend them. There are many garrisons. Yizhou has worked hard to transport grain to Chen Cang, and it is a waste of money. Moreover, the lord cannot expand his territory now, otherwise it would be equivalent to acquiescing Wang Yun's manifesto. Destroying Lu Bu is for the heroes of the world, not occupying the city, returning to Yizhou to be a steadfast, and being at peace with others."

The reason why Guo Jia left after fighting Chen Cang is exactly the same as Fa Zheng’s analysis, but Fa Zheng is a theory, but what Guo Jia thought of is more specific.

Regardless of whether Wang Yun conquered the Liangzhou army under Li Jue and Guo Si, if he took down the city in Guanzhong, it would definitely make the Chang'an court uneasy. Chen Cang would go there in a few days when he went to Chang'an. Whether it was Wang Yun or Li Jue and Guo Si in history, he would be in trouble with Chang'an. If Guo Jia really occupied Chen Cang, he would not have any peace with Chang'an. The other party was afraid of him and would definitely send troops to wipe out. Since Guo Jia did not have the strength to take Guanzhong, Chen Cang was a hot potato for him.

Half a day after the march, the red sun sets westward. The Malai newspaper in front of him found a large army rushing from the south. Guo Jia immediately ordered the entire army to stop and prepare to face the enemy.

"Gan Ning, you lead 10,000 people to the enemy from the left wing, Wu Yi, Meng Da, Gao Shun, you three lead 3,000 people to the enemy from the right wing, and I personally lead the remaining troops to wait for the enemy in the middle."

After the military order was issued, the generals left, and Guo Jia rode on the horse and set up a formation. In front of the central army were two thousand powerful crossbow soldiers. The powerful crossbows were heavier than ordinary bows and arrows, but the range was long and powerful. They could penetrate increasingly sophisticated iron armor and tear apart human bones.

In front of the smoke and dust, the sound of horse hooves shook the sky. Guo Jia looked up and laughed in silence.

Lu Bu was indeed escaping his life, so embarrassed that he only cared about leading the cavalry to escape, and even ignored the infantry falling behind him.

Among such generals and such people, Lu Bu would give him a hundred, at most one hundred centurions, leading 100 soldiers to charge into the battle. Lu Bu deserves it, but if he gives him more soldiers to command, hehe.

The Red Rabbit traveled thousands of miles a day, and Lu Bu took the lead, not caring about the flood behind him. But after seeing the army waiting for battle on the northern road from afar, Lu Bu felt as cold as ice. He quickly pulled his horse to stop and looked at it. The orderly soldiers in the hierarchy were facing the south with horn crossbows. Even though Lu Bu was brave, he did not dare to take another step forward, but there were eight thousand cavalry behind him, so it was good to ask them to rush to the formation.

But Lu Bu fell into despair again, because the other party calmly carried out the refusal rifle from behind and placed it in front of the formation.

At this moment, I'm in a desperate situation

The cavalry behind him who were not as fast as Red Rabbit gradually caught up with Lu Bu, but they were also in chaos, without anyone to command, and it was incompetent.

Lu Bu couldn't look forward, so he waved his hand and raised Fang Tian's painting halberd and said, "Run over."

He was a general, he was Wen Hou. No one of his soldiers ignored him, so the cavalry rushed forward in chaos, intending to rush over Guo Jia's army, but Lu Bu himself did not move.

Guo Jia smiled faintly at the cavalry who came up to die. Although the effective range of killing crossbows was only fifty to one hundred meters, there were several rows of horse-rejecting guns, and even if they came, they would die.

Puff puff puff

After entering the range, the powerful crossbow soldiers began to shoot and kill. The soldiers of the camp were well-trained, so they were really aimless.

Countless war horses neighed and fell in front of the formation, falling from the top of countless cavalry, which not only caused difficulties in advance for the cavalry behind them, but also made them feel terrified.

Gan Ning, Gao Shun, Wu Yi, Meng Da and the four led the Jinfan army to encircle from both wings. The front was blocked by Guo Jia's army, and the fan-shaped encirclement gradually took shape from the prototype.

Cavalrymen kept falling in front of the horse-resisting rifle, and the war horses stabbed by the spears of the standing guns were also running and jumping around. The cavalry charging behind them were blocked from their way and were in chaos. Nearly half of the 8,000 cavalry were quickly shot and killed, and the rest were already in chaos.

The infantry behind the cavalry who used two legs to escape gradually caught up with Lu Bu, but as soon as they arrived next to Lu Bu, they were attacked by Gan Ning and other generals from both wings.

At the same time, Zhang Liao, who was chasing all the way, also led his army to arrive and looked down from the air. Lu Bu's army was attacked by Guo Jia in the north and Zhang Liao in the south, and was divided into two north and south armies and four sides of the army encircled.

Even though Yan Pu only led the army to command and did not go up to charge, Yan Yan, Gan Ning, Gao Shun, Meng Da, Wu Yi and other generals all led the army and led the army to carry out tactics. They led their soldiers purposefully into Lu Bu's army, divided Lu Bu's army into several sections, and then defeated them one by one.

Kill easily, killing it up, killing Lu Bu's army without any power to fight back

Lu Bu's army had long been psychologically collapsed. They fled first, and then attacked. The enemy's offensive was rapid and organized, and it looked like they were invincible, separating their companions and forming local advantages to kill them.

Blood splattered everywhere, screamed and shouted in slaughter, but it was still not as loud as Guo Jia and Zhang Liao's two armies beating drums in the sky.

Beating the drum is a signal of war, a courage to the soldiers, and a horn of death to the enemy.

Just want them to make a concerted effort

Blood flowed into a river, with broken limbs and broken arms. Lu Bu was completely stunned. When had he ever seen such a powerful and clear enemy army?

He has been famous for a long time, but is there a real famous war that can be used to make a move? He killed countless enemies and killed generals, and that is the opponent he met is the jumping clown

Lu Bu held the Fang Tian Hua Ji and rode the Red Rabbit. Even in the melee, he was definitely a striking person. So Guo Jia could look at him and found Lu Bu. When he saw Lu Bu, he would raise the Fang Tian Hua Ji from time to time to harvest the lives of the enemy troops around him. He was indeed unstoppable, but Guo Jia still said to himself lightly: "Lu Bu, war is not something that can be determined by one's courage."

The red sun sets westward and dusk is approaching. The sky is filled with a light red glow, but it is still not as dazzling as the scarlet blood-flowing river on the battlefield.

When there was no enemy around him, Lu Bu no longer knew how many people he had killed, but when he raised his head gasping, his eyes were dim and his face was pale.

Ten steps away from him, Gan Ning, Zhang Liao, Wu Yi, Gao Shun, Yan Yan, Yan Pu and Meng Da led his army to surround him. In the direction facing Lu Bu, neatly arranged crossbowmen were facing him with horn crossbows. After the crossbow soldiers, Guo Jia looked at him calmly with his horse.

"Fengxian, you and I have met again after a long time."...
