Chapter 1210
PS: Chapter Anti-theft, Correction tomorrow morning……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
But it is still quite far from Linyu Pass, and Wei Guan's decision to withdraw his troops was made temporarily. Even if the Bingzhou Army had detailed works hidden near Linyu Pass, the news would be transmitted back to Liaoxi County, but the Bingzhou Army would not be able to react in such a quick time.
The reason why Wei Guan retreated so urgently was that he did not want to give the Bingzhou army any time to prepare for the blocking. He caught the Bingzhou army off guard. When they reacted, they were afraid that the Youzhou army would have retreated to Bohai County.
At this time, we really need a little decisiveness. As long as we are a little hesitant, we can't leave soon. Staying in Linyu Pass now is like baking on the fire. The situation is urgent. After careful consideration, Wei Guan is better off than sitting there waiting for death, it is better to take the risk to fight. Maybe they still have a chance to return to Jizhou and escape.
Wei Guan did have the idea of staying at Linyu Pass and waiting for reinforcements before, but after so long, the court's reinforcements did not even see any shadow. It seems that the court has indeed given up Youzhou and let them die on their own.
In this situation, if you rely on the high every day and far, if you don’t save yourself, you will be unable to save yourself. Wang Qi was still worried that the court would hold you accountable. In fact, Wei Guan was not worried at all. The court took the initiative to give up Youzhou. If he could really bring back this team of 40,000 to 50,000 people, it would probably be an unexpected surprise for Sima Shi. He was too happy to have too late to pursue the responsibility of the disciple?
The most difficult thing now is to leave Linyu Pass. The Youzhou army must march in the wilderness without the defense of the city. If the journey of these hundreds of miles is blocked by the Bingzhou army, whether it can successfully reach Bohai County will be a big problem.
Although there are difficulties, evacuation from Linyu Pass is already their last hope. In any case, they must fight.
Before leaving Linyu Pass, Wei Guan summoned all the officers above the lieutenant in the army and specifically explained the plan for breaking through this time. Any army and horse must obey the command and follow the orders and must not act without authorization. If they encounter an enemy's blockade, they must try their best to avoid them. If they really cannot be avoided, they must be determined in the war and must not be dragged on. At critical moments, some of the troops may be sacrificed to ensure the smooth breakthrough of the large army.
None of the generals objected to this point, but everyone's faces became solemn, and obviously no one became the part that sacrificed first.
When we left Linyu Pass, it was still dark. After walking for a while, a red sun rose from the sea in the east, and the blue water seemed to be dyed red by the morning glow. However, for the Youzhou army who were escaping, no one went to enjoy such a beautiful scenery. They all lowered their heads and rushed on the road. Only by entering the boundary of Jizhou can they truly be safe and sound.
Fortunately, the march along the way seemed to be smooth and no trace of the Bingzhou army was found. Wei Guan nodded secretly. It seemed that his withdrawal was relatively wise. When the Bingzhou army had just captured Liucheng and had not yet arrived south to Linyu Pass, he evacuated first, perhaps he could really avoid the terrible Bingzhou cavalry.
The weather in April may be quite hot for the Central Plains, but it is just right in Youzhou. In April, Youzhou is really a season of growing grass and flying birds of flowers. Bathing in the sun and sea breeze, it seems to be very relaxed and comfortable.
But the Youzhou army seemed to not feel this comfort. What suppressed them was still the lingering shadow. After all, they did not leave Youzhou for a while and could not get a guarantee of safety. They used to be the masters of Youzhou, who were domineering and doing nothing on this land. But today after leaving Linyu Pass, they were like a dog with a family that was lost and were in panic all day long.
It was noon and I walked to a mountain. The mountain was particularly abrupt, with strange rocks standing by the sea, but it was extremely flat around it, as if a stone mountain was flying out of thin air.
"What mountain is this?" Wei Guan tied the reins of the horse, held the whip in his hand and pointed to the mountain from a distance, asking Wang Qi beside him.
Wang Qi was very familiar with Youzhou's geography and said casually: "This is Jieshi Mountain."
"But did Emperor Taizu passed by Jieshi Mountain when he was conquering Wuhuan? I remember that Emperor Taizu passed by here and was full of poetry. He left behind a poem called "Watching the Sea". Is it here?" Wei Guan asked.
Wang Qi nodded and said, "That is, Emperor Taizu did leave behind a poem here. Later, the governor of Youzhou Tian Yu also specially ordered the stonemason to engrave this poem on Jieshan Mountain. It was on the huge rock on the sea. If the governor of Wei was in a good mood, it would be better to climb a mountain to see it."
Cao Cao's poems are extremely popular in contemporary times. Not only Cao Liang's status as king, but more importantly, his literary talent. Although the seven sons of Jian'an are all famous, their pattern is small after all, and no one is as majestic as Cao Cao's. Cao Cao's poems are unique and are known for their majesticity.
In order to please Cao Cao, Tian Yu, the governor of Youzhou, specially ordered people to engrave this poem on a huge rock on the sea on Jieshi Mountain. Later, it became a beautiful landscape in Jieshi. Any literati and poets came here to visit Jieshi to admire the literary talent of Emperor Taizu.
Wei Guan was also a literati. If he had traveled here, he would never go around and would have gone there to see it in person. But now he has no time to spare, and the life of the entire army is only in his hands. Wei Guan did not even delay his breath.
He originally wanted to go and see it, but in the end he shook his head and said, "This place is not a place to stay for a long time. He ordered the army to speed up and advance at full speed. Before dark, be sure to rush to Youbeiping County. Those who delay will be killed!"
It is at least 400 miles from Linyu Pass to Bohai County. At the normal marching speed, it will take at least seven or eight days. However, Wei Guan was worried that after Cao Liang learned about their evacuation from Linyu Pass, he would send cavalry to chase him. The cavalry in Bingzhou was known for their speed, and once they were caught up, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Therefore, Wei Guan ordered the Youzhou Army that the seven-day journey would be shortened to three days, and within three days, you must reach Bohai County. Therefore, the daily itinerary of Youzhou Army is no less than 130 miles. This may not be anything for the cavalry, but for the infantry, it will be an extremely difficult training. Wei Guan did fight for the escape from the tiger's mouth.
