It would be fine if Du Yu guarded for three or five days, but Cao Liang was not prepared to let him defend the death to the death. If he just defended the death to the Bingzhou Army, it would only increase the cost of casualties.

Three days is enough for Cao Liang to make some moves on the East or West Road.

Sima Yi relied on his large number of people and strong troops, and advanced in three directions. He did have the intention of making Shangdang's Bingzhou Army dumplings in one fell swoop, but how could this dumpling with thin skin and big filling be so easy to make?

If the enemy forces attack according to the normal strategy of responding to the enemy, we must also send three troops to resist, and fight against each other inch of land.

But in this way, it was exactly what Sima Yi wanted. Because the Bingzhou army had limited troops, if the troops were divided into three groups to resist the Sima army's attack, the power would be even thinner. Any defensive battle would have to be consumed. However, the Bingzhou army had fewer soldiers and weaker strength, and the consumption was simply impossible to fight against the Sima army. As a result, the more people were beaten, the fewer positions could not be defended, and Cao Liang would inevitably fail in the end.

Of course, Cao Liang would not use such tactics. Sima Yi led his nose. Is the biggest in the war? Is it the territory? Although the war is the territory, it has no meaning to be obsessed with the gains and losses of a city and a place. Only by eliminating the enemy's living forces and constantly annihilation of the enemy can we ultimately control more territory.

Cao Liang set his sights on the Eastern Army of Sima Army. The 20,000 troops led by Chen Tai and Hu Fen were obviously the weakest among the three armies of Sima Army. With the combat power of the Bingzhou Army, it would not be too difficult to eat this army in the shortest time.

Although the elimination of the Eastern Route Army could not hurt Sima Yi's muscles, it had a significant effect in destroying Sima Yi's strategic intentions. At least it could break Sima Yi's three-way encirclement and win a broader battlefield environment for the Bingzhou Army.

You should know that this is the home court of the Bingzhou Army. They are very familiar with the geographical conditions here. As long as the Bingzhou Army is not bound by the gains and losses of a city and a place, they can gallop and ease on this land.

Cao Liang's plan was approved by Huan Fan and others. Next, Cao Liang began to dispatch troops and set up a large pocket in the area of ​​Wanzi City, exit of Yangchanban, and waited for Hu Fen and Chen Tai to lead the army into it.

Yangchanban is one of the most famous "Eight Passes of Taihang". Among these "Eight Passes of Taihang", Yangchanban is known as steep and rugged. Because its road is rugged and winding, it looks like a sheep intestine, it is named Yangchanban.

This road is also an important passage between Bingzhou and Heluo. It has always been a place that military strategists must fight for. When Cao Cao was expeditioning the high-ranking officials in the north, he marched from Yangcaoban and caught him off guard, thus successfully occupying Bingzhou. At that time, Cao Cao passed by Yangcaoban, and heavy snow fell from the sky and the road was difficult to move. He was inspired and wrote the poem "Riding Cold", which made Yangcaoban famous all over the world.

Sima Yi led the main force to march from Shimen Pass. In order to detour the Bingzhou army, he sent Sili's captain Chen Tai and Hanoi prefect Hu Fen to lead 20,000 troops to march from Yangchanban.

After Hu Fen was defeated in Heyang, he fled from Hanoi and fled to Jizhou in one breath. However, after Sima's army arrived in Hanoi, he led the remaining defeated generals back to Hanoi.

It can be said that Hanoi became such a mess like this now, which was a major dereliction of duty by Hu Fen, but Sima Yi did not intend to pursue him. During this northern expedition to Bingzhou, Sima Yi appointed Hu Fen as his deputy general to assist Sili's captain Chen Tai to march from Yangchenban and attack the flanks of the Bingzhou army.

Hu Fen was originally uneasy and worried that he would be punished, but he did not expect that Sima Yi was so magnanimous that he had to hold him accountable for losing Hanoi. Instead, he still entrusted him with important responsibilities this time. Hu Fen couldn't help but burst into gratitude and secretly vowed to fight this battle well and avenge his previous shame.

When Sima Shi marched towards Shimen Pass, Chen Tai and Hu Fen also led their troops on the journey. They set out from the Ye Wang, headed north all the way to Yangchan.

The steepness of Yangchan Saka is indeed famous all over the world. The entire sakata is completely through the Grand Canyon of the Taihang Mountains, winding and circling. If it weren't for the sun hanging in the sky, Sima's army would have been confused and could not distinguish between the east, south, west and north.

This road is not only steep, but also known for its narrowness. Many places are so narrow that they can only allow one car to ride through. Even wider vehicles cannot pass through. They are stuck in the cracks of stones and cannot move forward or retreat.

Logically speaking, Yangchanban is a shortcut from Hanoi to Shangdang, but the road was too steep and difficult, so Sima Yi had to give up his plan to lead the main force from here and switch to the wider Zhuguan Pass, which is the Shimen Pass road. Although it is a bit detour compared to Yangchanban, it is relatively conducive to the operation of the large army.

However, for Chen Tai and Hu Fen's side troops, there is no problem with going to Yangchan Saka. The team of 20,000 people was heading alone, stretching for several miles, winding. It was easy to say during the day, because of the obstruction of the mountains, it was difficult to deal with the beginning and end. At night, the torches along the way were illuminated, like a fire dragon moving among the mountains.

It was not that Chen Tai and Hu Fen didn't want to rest at night, but the main reason was that the road was so wide that it was hard to accommodate two or three cars in parallel. With such a terrain, there was no place to camp at all. When the army was tired of walking, they could only rest on the spot, eat some dry food, and continue moving forward.

There was no way, Chen Tai and Hu Fen discussed for a while, and decided to leave Yangchanban and rest when they arrived at Wanzi City.

However, after arriving at Wanzi City, that is, entering Bingzhou, it is still unknown whether there are Bingzhou troops stationed there.

Chen Tai said confidently: "The eldest son has led his troops to attack Shimen Pass. The main force of the Bingzhou army will inevitably be concentrated in Shimen Pass and Wanzi City. Even if the Bingzhou army is stationed, there will be no number of troops. With our troops, there will be no problem to take down Wanzi City!"

This is not Chen Taito. The main reason is that the main attack direction of Sima's army is Shimen Pass. There is no doubt that the main force of the Bingzhou army must also go there to defend, otherwise the Sima army will be driven straight into this battle and there will be no need to fight again.

In this way, the number of Bingzhou soldiers guarding Wanzi City will definitely not be too many. As long as their 20,000 troops are blocking and killing them all the way, and taking down Wanzi City, they will first gain a foothold in Shangdang.
