    The most important thing in using troops is speed, not giving the enemy a chance to breathe. After conquering Shangdang County, the army was divided into three groups: Zhang Xiu led 20,000 troops to capture Xihe County, Ma Liu led 20,000 troops to capture Leping Army, and Xiao Yi personally led 50,000 troops.  The main force is to attack the core of Bingzhou - Taiyuan County. In addition, let Song Xian and Wei Xu lead 10,000 troops and station them in Shangdang City to ensure the safety of the army's retreat and the smooth flow of food roads!

    Taiyuan County is located in the middle of Bingzhou, and its administrative seat is in Jinyang City. It is a basin with fertile land, convenient irrigation, relatively developed farming, and a large population, accounting for half of the population of Bingzhou. It is said to be prosperous and prosperous. Gaoganbei  The purpose of escaping from Taiyuan County is to use the manpower and material resources here to fight to the death!

    Xiao Yi led his troops to the north. He had to break Jinyang City and occupy Taiyuan County before he could rule the entire Bingzhou. However, this was very difficult. Jinyang City was tall and easy to defend but difficult to attack. If he wanted to enter Taiyuan County, he had to deal with a group of people first.  The only obstacle is Hukou Pass!

    Hukou Pass is located at the junction of Shangdang County and Taiyuan County. The terrain is complex and crisscrossed by mountains. There is Baigu Mountain in the north, Shuanglong Mountain in the south, and a large valley in the middle. It is shaped like a kettle, with a big belly, a thin neck, and a small mouththe narrowest.  It is less than a hundred steps away, and the checkpoint is located at the mouth of the Hukou, hence the name "Hukou Pass". One man can guard the pass, and ten thousand people cannot open it!

    After Gao Gan fled back to Jinyang City, he gathered all the soldiers and horses from Taiyuan County, a total of more than 30,000 people, and stationed at Hukou Pass. He prepared a large amount of ordnance, food and grass, rolling logs, and stones, preparing to rely on the favorable terrain to fight Cao Jun to the death.  !

    At the same time, Yanmen County guard general Xia Zhao led 20,000 horses to come to the rescue and stationed at Baigu Mountain and Shuanglong Mountain. He also built two strongholds to form a tripod with Hukou Pass, echoing and supporting each other from a distance.  Stationed at the border, fighting with nomads all year round, the fighting power is very powerful!

    ¡°Ta!-ta!-ta!¡±

    Xiao Yi led his troops to march north. Because the mountain road was difficult, it took him eight days to reach Hukou Pass. After setting up camp and building barriers, he led Jia Xu, Feng Ji, Cao Pi and more than a hundred soldiers, and rode up a high slope.  Observe the situation for yourself!

    Looking around, there are endless mountains and cliffs everywhere. Except for the valley in the middle, there is no way at all. Hukou Pass is like an iron cable, firmly locking the passage. If you want to break it, you don't know.  How much blood will be shed and how many lives will be sacrificed?

    "Hukou Pass, Yanmen Pass, and Mayi City are known as the 'Three Major Fortresses of Bingzhou'. They have different topography and landforms. In terms of danger, Hukou Pass ranks first!

    After the Yuan family came to dominate Hebei, in order to rule Bingzhou, they spent a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources to rebuild the Hukou Pass. The defense was complete and indestructible. There were no loopholes. As long as there were enough food, grass, ordnance, they could withstand a million-strong army!  "

    Feng Ji has been assisting the Yuan family for many years, and has a good understanding of Bingzhou City. As for the Hukou Pass, the builder has a message: 'If you want to seize the dangerous pass, occupy the two mountains first!  ¡¯

    Let¡¯s make an analogy: Hukou Pass is an iron lock, and Baigu Mountain and Shuanglong Mountain are two iron bolts. They must be pulled out to break through the pass. The problem is that the two mountains are steep, rugged, and full of barriers, and there are 20,000 people there.  Elite soldiers are stationed there, how easy is it to remove them?

    "The danger of Yanmen lies in its majesty - the copper wall and iron wall are condescending, and the danger of the Hukou lies in its poison - the road is rugged, making it difficult for people and horses to walk. The mouth of the valley is only a hundred paces wide, and the army cannot deploy at all. If you invest a few hundred people at most at a time, you will be attacked from three sides.  , this kind of "adding fuel to the fight", even if there are millions of soldiers, they will be completely consumed!

    There is no chance of success in attacking the mountain. There are many barriers and heavy troops on defense. All the vegetation near the village has been cut down, and mountain spring water has been introduced. No matter whether it is setting fire to the mountain or besieging it with heavy troops, it has no effect. The general who guards the mountain is so powerful.  !  "

    " Xiao Yi is an expert in using troops. He has clearly observed the difficulties in tackling key problems. He has also considered several methods, but gave up on them all. Either the casualties are too heavy, or the risks are too high. Unless it is a last resort, it is better not to use them!

    In the original history, after the defeat of the Yuan Group, Gao Gan relied on the natural dangers of Huguan to hold on for a year, holding back Cao's army. In the end, they ran out of food and reinforcements and the morale of the army was low. Then they abandoned the pass and ran away.  On the way!

    More than a year of fierce fighting, how many soldiers have died, how much food and grass have been consumed, and how many people have suffered. This kind of protracted war of attrition has depleted the vitality of the nation the most. We must reverse the situation and win the war quickly!

    Jia Xu, Feng Ji, Cao Pi and others were also thinking hard about how to conquer Hukou Pass. As long as this battle is won, Bingzhou will be achieved. At that time, the army will march eastward and encircle Jizhou. The overall situation of Hebei will be decided. The question is,  How to overcome this level?

    Someone asked, there are many roads extending in all directions. Since Hukou Pass is difficult to reach, why not just take a detour? Bingzhou is thousands of miles away, so are you still afraid that there will be no roads The answer is: There are roads, but they are difficult to walk!

      Baigu Mountain and Shuanglong Mountain stretch for hundreds of miles. They are steep cliffs that are too high to be climbed. They isolate the north and south of Bingzhou. If you want to take a detour, there are two routes:

    The first is to go west to Xihe County, enter the grasslands of the Hu and Qiang people, march hundreds of miles north, turn around and attack Mayi City, and go straight to Taiyuan County from north to south. As long as Jinyang City is broken, Hukou Pass will be useless!

    The second is to march eastward, along the counties of Leping, Changshan, and Yunzhong, all the way to Saibei Grassland, pass through the Huns' territory, then turn around and attack Yanmen Pass, and then enter Taiyuan County

    There are two marching routes. Not only are the roads long and difficult to supply, but they also have to deal with the Qiang, Hu and Xiongnu. The risk is too high to lead to a life-and-death battle. We might as well attack Hukou Pass!

    ?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "Woo!-Woo! Woo!"

    ¡°You have a defeated general and you are a cowardless person, how dare you go out and fight?¡±

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    As the saying goes: If there are dates but there are no dates, you can hit three poles. Even if you fail to achieve your goal, you can still test the reality. On the second day of setting up camp, Xiao Yi sent out troops to challenge, yelled and cursed, and tempted the enemy to come out for a decisive battle!

    Not to mention, after yelling and scolding for a while, the enemy really accepted the challenge. It was not the senior officials in the gate, but Xia Zhao from the mountain. He led a group of soldiers to rush down and set up a formation at the foot of the mountain!

    Unlike high-ranking officials who send troops rashly, Xia Zhao's purpose of going to the battle is to test the enemy's situation. As for the two mountains, arrangements have been made long ago to ensure that nothing goes wrong!

    "I'm guarding Yanmen Pass. I've heard about the name of 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang' for a long time. The two armies are facing each other today. Do you have the courage to fight? If you don't dare to fight, immediately retreat your troops and send them back to Shangdang City!"

    Xia Zhao is in his early thirties, nine feet tall, with a strong back and strong waist. He is wearing a stainless steel battle armor and carrying a Liuhe sword. He is really majestic. Because of his sallow complexion, sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, he is also brave and good at fighting. The border officers gave him a nickname - Huang  Tiger!

    "The little enemy general doesn't know how high the sky is, so why should the big commander take action? Wait for the last general to step forward and chop off his head!"

    Before he finished speaking, Da Niu held the mace and ran straight towards the opponent. The same burly figure and the same heavy weapon were quite similar!

    "General Dang Kou-Yanmen Prefect-Xia Zhao!"

    "General Fuwei - Marquis Chicheng Ting - Niuwei!"

    The mountain road was rugged and difficult to ride. The two abandoned their mounts and stepped down to fight. After exchanging names, they brandished their weapons and fought in one place. In an instant, the light of the sword flashed, the shadow of the stick flew, dust flew, and gravel flew

    The strength of both men is not compromised, they are both on the way to the top of Mount Tai, and the weight of their weapons is also heavy. From time to time, they collide with each other, causing sparks to fly and the sound to be like thunder, which makes people's ears roar. It is really a tiger going up the mountain meets a tiger coming down the mountain, a dragon in the clouds collides.  When it comes to the dragon in the mist, it¡¯s a battle between dragon and tiger!

    "Good! Good! General Xia is mighty!"

    "Okay! Okay!General Niu will win!"

    The soldiers waved flags, shouted loudly, and cheered for their generals. Many people watched mesmerized. Such wonderful fighting is rare on the battlefield!

    Fifty rounds, eighty roundsa hundred rounds passed in a blink of an eye. The two of them dismounted and fought on foot, regardless of the outcome. It was very exhausting and the armor was heavy. Both sides were panting and sweating profusely!

    "Armor is cumbersome and difficult to fully enjoy. Can the enemy general dare to remove his armor?"

    "Haha! - Take off your armor, take off your armor, who is afraid of whom?"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    "When two tigers fight, one of them is bound to be injured. We can't continue the fight, so we must withdraw our troops!"

    Under the banner of Dazhen, Xiao Yi immediately watched the battle, clasping the bow and arrow in his right hand. He was afraid that the bull would make a mistake, so he would immediately use an arrow to rescue him, or find an opportunity to kill the enemy general with a cold arrow. But now, he has changed his mind. Such a tiger general  , you should take it for your own use!

    ¡°Ding!-Ding!-Ding!¡±

    The crisp bell rang, and the two generals who had been fighting fiercely for a long time took back their weapons at the same time, looked at each other, clasped their fists in salute, and returned to their respective formations. Encountering a powerful enemy on the battlefield is also one of the joys of life!

    After the battle, everyone was quite surprised. Xia Zhao was very skilled in martial arts and proficient in the use of troops, but he was a good general. Fortunately, Yuan Shao used cronyism and abandoned good generals in favor of idiots. If Xia Zhao was used to replace senior officials,  Taking charge of the military power of Bingzhou, the difficulty of this Northern Expedition may be increased several times!

    Similarly, Xia Zhao was also afraid. Regarding the reputation of 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang', his ears were calloused. The 'Jingguan' outside Yanmen Pass was often seen. After today's competition, a big  Even a cow is difficult to deal with, so you can imagine how powerful Xiao Yi is behind him. He is the number one warrior in the Han Dynasty - he really deserves his reputation!

    After some testing, the two sides withdrew their troops and returned to camp to discuss military plans. One side vowed to defend the city to the death and would not give in an inch; the other side was determined to win and would never give up. Who would win or lose would depend on the level of strategy and means!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)It seems that in today's competition, even a big bull is difficult to deal with.
