Although he chose Lu Bu, Li Ru knows the importance of credit. When he comes to Lu Bu in the future, he will definitely be the person responsible for making suggestions. If there are generals who support him in the army, many actions will become much easier. Niu Fu and Yang Qiu are one of Li Ru's temporary support.
Li Ru ordered Yang Qiu to be the vanguard of the army, led two thousand soldiers and horses to Hanyang, and then led six thousand soldiers and horses to Hanyang.
After Han Sui, Zhao Yang, and Chang’an’s soldiers and horses spread to Hanyang, Hanyang was panicked. When facing Han Sui, Ma Teng suffered a lot. For Han Sui, the soldiers in Ma Teng’s army only It's just anger, but Hanyang's situation at this time made them feel fear.
Who can stop the Chang'an army from dispatching? What's more, the chief commander of the Chang'an army is Lu Bu. What a reputation Lu Bu has in the world. Although the Chang'an army has been trained shortly after the army has such characters as Lu Bu, no one dares to ignore Chang'an. The combat effectiveness of the army, although Ma Teng has been in the army during this period of time to calm the mood of the generals, it has not played a great role.
After Tai Shici led five thousand soldiers and horses to leave the pass, he sent scouts to inquire about the news surrounding the army. As a rising star in the army, Tai Shici's prestige in the army is not low. Lieyang bow rider admired.
Open roads in the mountains and build bridges when encountering water to provide protection for the army behind.
The road after entering Wudu is naturally not comparable to the cement road in the territory of Bingzhou.
Not long after Ma Chao entered Wudu, he received news that the Chang'an Army was dispatched. In shock, he led the army to Hechi County. Hechi is one of the important cities of Wudu, and it is also a barrier to the next. If Hechi is If it is lost, Xiabian will face an attack by the Chang'an Army. Ma Chao's intention is to weaken the Chang'an Army to the greatest extent in Hechi, making it difficult for the Chang'an Army to advance.
Although Wudu didn’t have any dangerous levels, West Wolf Valley was the only place to go from Sanguan to Hechi. Although West Wolf Valley was not dangerous, it could play a big role if used properly. Then, the understanding of the topography of Wudu is naturally inferior to Ma Chao. If the vanguard of the Chang'an Army is negligent, it is when the vanguard army is defeated.
The vanguard army plays a vital role for an army. It can not only bring useful news to the army behind, but it is also the most elite part of an army. If the vanguard army is defeated, it will have a good morale for the army. With a huge impact, Ma Chao set his sights on Tai Shi Ci.
Ma Chao is no stranger to Taishici. After he led the troops to break through Longguan and enter Chang'an, he suffered a lot from Taishici's hands. Now he is about to take the losses he suffered in Changan last year from Taishici. Found it on his body.
Tai Shi Ci led the army to a stop at a distance of 30 miles from West Wolf Valley. It was getting late, and Tai Shi Ci ordered the soldiers to camp, but he cast his sights on the West Wolf Valley on the topographic map.
According to the terrain map, although West Wolf Valley is not a critical location, it is a bit narrow and long, with a distance of five miles. Two horse-drawn carriages can pass through the valley, which is considered to be relatively wide.
"Order a hundred cavalrymen and follow this general to West Wolf Valley." Tai Shici walked out of the camp and ordered in a low voice.
At the speed of cavalry, he arrived at West Wolf Valley. After looking at it for a while, Tai Shici showed a solemn expression. The mountain walls on both sides of West Wolf Valley were very high, and the mountains were bushy. It would be difficult if there was a large army hidden in it. Perceived that if there are enemies in ambush after the army enters the West Wolf Valley, it will definitely be a nightmare for the vanguard army.
"Send the order scout to closely investigate the news on both sides of West Wolf Valley. It must be carefully investigated and there must be no negligence." Tai Shici ordered.
Just as Tai Shici was worried, the terrain on the mountains on both sides of West Wolf Valley can definitely be said to be complicated. This is why Ma Chao is prepared to teach Tai Shici a lesson in West Wolf Valley. As long as the army is hidden, even if it is Taishi No matter how many scouts Ci dispatched, it would be difficult to find a trace, unless Tai Shi Ci chose not to pass through West Wolf Valley.
When the sky was getting light, Tai Shici appeared again outside West Wolf Valley. As the leader of the vanguard army, he must be sure to be foolproof, but last night the scouts did not inquire too much useful news, on both sides of the valley. , And no trace of the enemy army was found. The more so, the more disturbed Tai Shici was. He knew exactly what kind of character Ma Chao was. Even Longguan could be breached in Ma Chao’s hands. He dared to lead the soldiers. Entering the land of Sanshou is definitely a bold person. He believes that Ma Chao will not miss the opportunity of West Wolf Valley. The same thing is placed on Taishi Ci's body, and he will also choose to ambush.
Hidden and ambush is a lucrative business. If the enemy passes through the valley everyone pushes down a few boulders, and the enemy can be panicked and won. If you don’t pass, it’s fine. , The leader can return.
"General, could it be that there is something wrong with West Wolf Valley?" The general in charge of the scout wondered. Since Tai Shici arrived in West Wolf Valley yesterday, he asked the scouts to inquire about the news. However, the mountains on both sides of West Wolf Valley are too large. , Even if the scout was given two more days, it would be difficult to fully detect it.
Tai Shi said kindly: "If Ma Chao ambushes soldiers and horses on both sides, wouldn't it be dangerous for our army to pass through West Wolf Valley?"
The general in charge of the scout heard the words: "West Wolf Valley is the only way to Hechi. If you don't take West Wolf Valley, wouldn't it be a long way around."
Tai Shici shook his head and said, "If you make a detour, it will take too long."
After watching West Wolf Valley for a long time, Tai Shici still did not think of a countermeasure, so he could only lead his troops back into the army.
After breakfast, the generals still didn’t get the order from Tai Shici. They were a little bit confused. They are very fast. As the vanguard of the army, they must appear outside the enemy’s city at the fastest speed, causing enough shock to the enemy. Although the time for camping yesterday was a bit earlier than before, the generals did not take it seriously.
Tai Shici, who was frowning and contemplating, suddenly saw the soldier in charge of cooking, using water to destroy the firewood after cooking, his eyes lit up. It was approaching summer, and the weather was slightly hot. The mountains on both sides of West Wolf Valley were shrubs. Clusters, just need to set fire to determine whether there is an ambush.
Wherever the fire passes, there is no need to worry about enemies hiding in it. As for what kind of disasters the fire will bring, it is not too much for Shi Ci to consider. As a vanguard general, what he considers is to do his best. It may pave the way for the army in the rear.
