"Zhang Liao, this waste! How could Guan Yu's army be released from the north of Wangwu Mountain? It was agreed that Shangdang's army would guard Wangwu North and Hanoi army would guard Wangwu South, which would be impossible!

Guan Yu is also cruel enough. It’s already half past November, so he didn’t fight long ago. He dragged it until the weather was so cold. According to previous years, at most half a month, the Taihang King’s House would be covered with heavy snow. He wasn’t afraid that the support would be difficult to transport in one winter and there would be no food in the army?”

After learning that Shimen, Qinshui fell and the wild king was surrounded, Queyi forced his inner unwillingness to suppress his inner unwillingness after a brief shock and anger.

He also knew that to look forward, the most important thing at the moment is to solve the problem and deal with the crisis, rather than shirk responsibility, incompetence and furious.

Guan Yu's roundabout attack was really good, and even the enemy admired him. Not only was the route unexpected, but even the time to send troops was also unexpected.

The right time and place are both unexpected, and there are also logistics technology blessings. It is not unfair to be stolen (of course, Tuo Yi doesn’t know that Guan Yu has new logistics technology blessings now).

No matter how Guan Yu did it, Que Yi calmed down first and analyzed the reinforcements he could mobilize, comparing the enemy and us.

When the Ye Wang was surrounded, there were soldiers who fled back from Qinshui and Ye Wang and other places in front of him reported the news. According to the information ahead, it was said that Guan Yu had an army of 50,000 attacks.

However, Tuo Yi certainly didn't believe this number. He knew how large-scale troops could march and advance in the mountainous valley north of Wangwu Mountain.

Moreover, according to the information from the previous confrontation period, Guan Yu only had 60,000 troops stationed in Hedong. Even if he pretended to set up flags and bluffed in Anyi, it would be impossible for him to completely ignore the important places like Anyi, right?

Based on these two points, Guan Yu divided half of the people to attack the north road, which should be the limit. Moreover, 30,000 people were roundabout and could not be blocked all of them. The roads in the Taihang Mountains were difficult to move, and the army would be dragged into several long snake formations, and it would be possible that the vanguard and the rear of the palace would be dozens or even hundreds of miles apart.

At this moment, I just reported that the Ye Wang was surrounded, and it was estimated that there were only more than 10,000 vanguards who had left the Shimen. But when Kuo Yi dispatched troops from Huai County to reinforce. When he arrived at Ye Wang, it was estimated that some of Guan Yu's rear army had also run out of the mountains, and there were 20,000 people entering the Hanoi Plain.

Unfortunately, Tuo Yi had only 30,000 people, and Huai County had more than 10,000. He was the troops he guarded the county and the general reserve team ready to rush to help everywhere at any time. Nearly 5,000 were annihilated in the Shimen and Qinshui battles, and 5,000 were surrounded in Yewang City. The last ten thousand were in Zhuguanxing and Jiguanxing.

(Note: There are nearly 10,000 defenders in Dongyuan County in the front, but the part of Hedong County occupied by Yuan Shao was appointed by Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao also appointed Hedong Prefect, and the garrison was Guo Yuan, not included in the troops of Tuo Yi in Henoi)

Tuo Yi calculated that since his direct troops should not be enough to compete with Guan Yu's desperate chance of winning, even if he transfers Zhuguanxing, Jiguanxing and the garrison in front of him, it would not be of much value to deal with Guan Yu behind him.

On the contrary, it is possible that because of the slight distance from the dangerous pass, the troops entered the open terrain of the Hanoi Plain. The troops that were defeated by Guan Yu twisted into one blow and rushed out of the Qinshui River Valley and the Taihang Mountains, and the troops gathered together.

As long as the "long snake formation" is not cut off on the road in Taihang Mountains, there is no danger of being divided and surrounded.

At most, there were not enough vanguards who came out and were repelled and retreated. With Guan Yu's ability to manage the army, even if the vanguard was frustrated, he could be defeated without defeat.

In contrast, Kuo Yi was blossomed by the center, and Zhuguanxing and Jiguanxing were separated from the Yewang Huai County behind. If troops from all directions gathered to the Yewang to reinforce, with the current communication conditions and the smoothness of the messenger, it may not be possible to ensure that all the people arrive at the same time.

If there is a time difference that is used by Guan Yu, it will become a tactic of adding fuel to each other.

To describe it in words more familiar to future readers, it is the Cauldron saving grandfather.

"You can't be anxious, you must not be anxious at this time. Yewang County may not be able to be defeated in three or five days or even ten or eight days. I gather the remaining troops in the county to rescue him, and maybe I will give Guan Yu the opportunity to siege the city and fight for aid. It is even possible that Guan Yu pretends to attack the jungle king, but in fact he wants to wait for me to reveal flaws in other directions.

If my troops gathered together, he turned around and attacked Zhuguanxing from behind, opening up the key pass between Hedong and Henoi, which was also a great threat. At that time, the Dongyuan defenders who were alone behind the enemy would enter a desperate situation. Guo Yuan might not surrender to Liu Bei if he was not strong.

At present, we must warn the main force of the defenders in Guanxing not to move lightly, and we can even send cavalry troops that cannot be used when defending the city, and light cavalry forward to Dongyuan to test the Wenxi and other places in Guanyu's defense zone to see if Guan Yu is really elite. Whenever he has the chance, he can also consider attacking Guan Yu. He attacks my nest, and I will also take advantage of the emptiness of his nest.

As for the rescue of the Ye Wang's troops, he would send a Pegasus messenger immediately to inquire, asking Wen Chou to move his troops south to reinforce and join forces with me. As for the gap in Wen Chou, let the lord mobilize idle reserve troops from Yecheng to make up for it."

Tuo Yi's plan was decided, so he really chose to deal with it. With his years of prestige and historical achievements in Yuan Shao's army, his decision was naturally not opposed by his subordinates and was immediately faithfully implemented.

If the troops are insufficient, it is really impossible to blame Tuo Yi. Guan Yu has 60,000 people opposite, so he has to withstand the pressure from Hedong, Hanoi, Shangdang and Taiyuan at the same time.

Who would have expected that when Guan Yu was cold in winter, he would take all his bets against Hanoi regardless of the pressure from Taiyuan to the north and Shangdang to the northeast. The pressure that the three counties had to be shared by the three counties was pressing against the head of the Tuo Yi family, which was not a crime of war.

Since the opportunity to resist the enemy beyond the dangers of Taihang Mountain has been missed, Yuan Shao cannot blame him even if he recognizes the situation and chooses to temporarily be timid and shrinks his troops.

At this time, Zhang Liao and Lu Bu should be moved to see if there is any emptiness to take advantage of Guan Yu.

...

Guan Yu came from afar, and he couldn't attack the city in the first two days. He could only surround him, constantly increasing troops on the front line, strengthening the siege camp, and then crazily creating siege equipment. He went around so far from Taihang Mountain, and it was really impossible for him to take the siege equipment with the army.

In the past two days, Guan Yu also considered whether Que Yi would counterattack and made complete preparations. But Que Yi held back. Guan Yu was a little disappointed and decided to start a full-scale attack immediately.

However, within two days, Tuo Yi's troops also made many small moves in other directions.

Among the garrisons in Zhuguanxing and Jiguanxing, there were cavalry units of more than a thousand people. According to Qu Yi's instructions, they not only did not turn back to rescue the enemy, but instead rushed forward to Dongyuan County, and joined the garrison Guo Yuan there, asking Guo Yuan to send troops to test Wenxi County in Guanyu's defense zone.

They also made a clear conscience to Guo Yuan that when Kuo Yi sent them to fight back, they had already sent Zhang Liao a letter of emergency and questioning, asking Zhang Liao to work together.

If Zhang Liao did not disobey, he would immediately divide his troops into two groups after receiving the news, from Shangdang to the southwest, intercept Guan Yu's food route, recapture Duan and Wuze, and cut off Guan Yu's return journey along the Qinshui River to Linfen. He would go directly from Shangdang to the south, go down through Changping, follow the Danshui River, and attack the wild king. At that time, join forces with Tuo Yi to attack Guan Yu.

In addition, Que Yi's messenger boasted that after hearing the news, Lu Bu would definitely flow downstream from the Fen River and attack Linfen from the Taiyuan Basin.

Guo Yuan didn't want to take the initiative, but when he saw various threats in Tuo Yi's urgent letter, he also said that Zhang Liao and Lu Bu would take action, and that he would only miss the opportunity to fight, and the lord would not let him go.

Guo Yuan felt that things were urgent and he should try to attack.

He gathered the local cavalry from Dongyuan and the cavalry from the Jiaguan area, gathered three or four thousand cavalry, and took the lead in crossing Zhongtiao Valley to move to Wenxi County. Some infantry troops then launched a tentative attack.

Guan Yu's 60,000 troops dispatched 40,000. In the rear of Anyi, Wenxi and other places, only 10,000 elite troops were defended. Facing Fen in the north, Jiangyi, there were 10,000 people in Jiangyi. As for the left-behind generals, Guan Yu left Zhuge Liang and Wu Ban at Linfen, the attack base of this battle, and Yan Yan was left in Anyi, Wenxi.

If Guo Yuan invested sufficiently and had high combat power, he would not have no chance at all. Unfortunately, Guo Yuan's attack was too hasty and did not have much time to prepare.

Halfway through the Zhongtiao Valley, Guo Yuan was "actively defended" by Yan Yan, setting up ambushes on both sides of the valley, and repelled his vanguard's cavalry with a small number of troops. Before Guo Yuan's infantry in the rear army even saw the battlefield, he found that the cavalry brothers in front had retreated, so he ran with him.

Guo Yuan was also shot in the thigh, and was injured slightly, and hurriedly retreated back to Dongyuan in a mess. The troops only lost more than one thousand people, but the horses were more than the personnel. The total number of casualties and injuries and the capture of the enemy was estimated to be 2,000.

In fact, Yan Yan had only two thousand ambushed in Zhongtiao Mountain. He had to guard Anyi and Wenxi, but in fact he couldn't pull out too many people to take risks in the field. When he was withdrawing the troops, he dragged seven or eight hundred intact war horses, and the scene was very exciting. The other lame horses who were seriously injured and must die were killed. They all gave the soldiers meat and made hot soup to warm up the body and drive away the cold.

This time, it was also before Guan Yu attacked. Zhuge Liang advised him to prepare for the idea that "when the enemy found him attacked, he might feel that your rear was empty and wanted to surround Wei and save Zhao." Therefore, Guan Yu ordered the rear guards to remain vigilant for some time after the expected start of the surprise attack, and even took the initiative to set up an ambush to fight against the field defense.

The enemy is indeed difficult to predict this kind of operation. It is also because it is too cold. Who would have thought that the defense party still had a cold ninja lying in the wild mountains for several days without knowing whether the enemy would come. It must be very hard.

In fact, the plan that Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu had discussed at the beginning was only "to ensure that the rear prevented the stolen troops from actively defending for five to ten days before leaving."

If the enemy has not come to surround Wei to save Zhao after this period, the ambushers on both sides of Zhongtiao Mountain or Fenshui River Valley must be withdrawn to the city. Otherwise, once the twelfth lunar month arrives, many people will be able to freeze to death in the winter of Bingzhou.

Yan Yan was lucky enough to only place his troops in the mountains for two or three days before waiting for Guo Yuan to come to steal the house. Zhuge Liang's own side was because Lu Bu was too far away from Tuo Yi and the news did not reach it in time, so Lu Bu took the opportunity to preserve his strength.

Zhang Liao launched a counterattack and sent a side master Hao Meng to break Guan Yu's retreat. However, when attacking Duanshi County, Hao Meng directly suspected his life: he also followed Zhang Liao to take down Duanshi once in the first half of the year. At that time, he thought this county was very easy to fight, and surrendered when he was scared.

But this time, Guan Yu kept Zhang Ren to ensure his retreat. After Zhang Ren defended the city, a mere city in Taihang Mountains with a wall of only more than 10 meter higher also seemed to become stronger. Hao Meng underestimated the enemy at first, and took advantage of the morale to the point where he did not build weapons to siege the city. He used a staircase to clamor and climb the city, and was shot directly into doubt his life.
