Chapter 611 Protracted War
Just when Cao Cao attacked Badong with all his might and Zhuge Liang rushed to support Jiange, Chen Yang should have taken Zitong first, and then Fushui Pass to complete his plan.
However, they had no time to send troops from Jiange, and a team of soldiers from the south were stationed in Zitong and prepared to attack Jiange.
"They were soldiers sent by Liu Yan, the capital of Shu. The incident of Jiange has lost this and has spread throughout Yizhou. Liu Yan has to send troops to resist us."
Chen Yang thought for a moment and decided to change his plan to take down Fushui Pass.
If Jiange is lost, Liu Yan will not set up a defense, and I am afraid that Fushui Pass will not be able to be taken down.
When Chen Yang thought about retreating and going back to Jiameng Pass, he thought carefully for a while, but this plan didn't work.
Since Liu Yan has sent troops to Jiange, Zhuge Liang will definitely cut off their way to retreat to Jiameng Pass on his way back to Jiange.
The most important point is that Chen Yang wanted to occupy Jiange and open up a channel from Hanzhong to Yizhou to facilitate the future planning of major events.
He took this place down and never thought about returning it.
As expected, Chen Yang had just returned to Jiange and saw that Liu Feng was stationed outside Jianmen Pass. Due to the terrain, they did not attack immediately and could only wait outside.
Soon, several more days passed.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and even Jiange is starting to fall.
Zhuge Liang's retreating army finally returned to the outside of Jianmen Pass. The army sent out from the south to attack Jiange was stationed near Zitong.
The two sides did not launch an attack, but just confronted Chen Yang and sandwiched Chen Yang in it.
"Wu Ge Villageman, can you be there?"
Chen Yang walked to the city tower of Jianmen Pass and said loudly.
After a while, Zhuge Liang appeared under the city. In the winter, he was still pretending to be with a feather fan and slowly raised his head and looked up.
"Chen Yang, this time, you won again. You are really amazing, I admire you."
Zhuge Liang had to admit that his strength in many aspects was far inferior to Chen Yang.
"I've given up!"
Chen Yang bowed his hand and was quite accomplished to force Zhuge Liang to such an extent. He asked again: "I am very curious about one thing and want to ask clearly. You were not all under Liu Bei's command before, so why did you turn around and all defect to Liu Yan, or is there any shameful relationship between Liu Yan and Liu Bei?"
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "You are not qualified to know the reason behind it."
Chen Yang said: "What if I had to know?"
Zhuge Liang sneered: "That depends on whether you have this ability in the future, but before I kill you with my own hands, you may be satisfied with your request."
"You want to kill me? You don't have the qualifications!"
Chen Yang curled his smile and said, "When I hit Shudu, you will know if I have this ability. But before that, Zhuge Villageman, you have to think about how to break through Jianmen Pass! I can break through in a short time, but you are afraid that you can't?"
These words are not very harmful and insulting.
It means that Zhuge Liang is far inferior to him, Chen Yang.
Before Zhuge Liang could respond, Zhang Fei beside him shouted first: "Military advisor, give me five thousand people, and I will take Jianmen Pass for you immediately."
Zhuge Liang was still self-aware and shook his head and said, "It is tantamount to going to die if he wants to take down Jianmen Pass. Moreover, it is winter now, so it is even more difficult to attack. I will find a way to attack the city. Without my order at present, everyone is not allowed to fight."
Zhang Fei glanced at Chen Yang on the city tower and gritted his teeth. If he wanted to say that the person he wanted to kill the most in his life was definitely the only one Chen Yang.
"Military advisor, there must be no mistakes in Jianmen Pass, otherwise there will be dangers in Shu Capital." Liao Hua said worriedly.
"I know, but who can take Jianmen Pass now?" Zhuge Liang asked back.
Many generals remain silent at the same time.
"This time, I will trap Chen Yang to death in Jian Pavilion. To the south of Jian Pavilion, His Majesty's army has stationed in Zitong, blocking Chen Yang's way south."
Zhuge Liang's eyes turned cold and he said, "It won't take long before Cao Cao's army will definitely come to Jiameng Pass and then come to Jiange to save Chen Yang, so Yuan Fu obeyed the order."
"I'm here!"
Go forward in Zhou Cang.
Zhuge Liang said again: "You take people to occupy the best position on the road from Jiameng Pass to Jianmen Pass and resist Cao Cao's army going south."
"yes!"
Zhou Cang said.
Zhuge Liang took a look at the nearby terrain, and waved his hand to call a few personal soldiers and asked them to follow the nearby Micang Mountain.
He couldn't guarantee that he would definitely trap Chen Yang to death and needed to prepare for a retreat.
Yonekura Mountain is his retreat.
Chen Dao agreed and said: "From Jiameng Pass to Jianmen Pass, there is only the passage of Taurus Road. As long as Yuan Fu can control Taurus Road, Cao Cao will not be able to save Chen Yang. The terrain advantages of Jiange will soon become Chen Yang's disadvantage."
Zhuge Liang nodded solemnly and said, "That's right!"
He seemed to be able to see how Chen Yang would beg for mercy.
Chen Yang came down from Jianmen Pass, returned to Jiange, and ordered someone to call Yang Song over.
Now there is no need to enter Zitong, and Yang Song has not been killed. Chen Yang wants to leave his head to Guan Ping.
"General, what should we do now?"
Yang Song said tremblingly.
"You go and collect the food from Jiange and send it all to me."
Chen Yang was forced to decide to fight a protracted battle with Zhuge Liang outside. He probably guessed what Zhuge Liang was fighting now.
This method is definitely good, but how long can Zhuge Liang stay sleepy?
Zhuge Liang will not be able to afford it after a long time.
Chen Yang knew that Cao Cao would not ignore him and marched from the direction of Jiameng Pass, which could block Zhuge Liang between Jiameng Pass and Jianmen.
By then, not only Chen Yang was the one who could not advance or retreat, but also Zhuge Liang.
With Zhuge Liang's wisdom, Chen Yang knew that he would also arrange a way out for himself. As long as he retreated, Chen Yang would win.
In the north, the army of the Northern Expedition began to take action, and there were restraints from Xianbei people such as Bu Dugen, so Sima Yi did not dare to go south at will.
After many considerations, Chen Yang believed that this protracted war could be fought and there was no need to give up Jiange.
Yang Song was very fast. In less than half a day, he collected the food in Jiange. Except for the ordinary people's stored food, the remaining food was enough for their soldiers to eat for two months.
Two months is almost enough for Chen Yang.
So, Chen Yang did not take the initiative to go out of the city to attack, otherwise, and time was delayed again and again.
"General, it is not a solution for us to continue like this. Even if we have the advantage of Jianmen Pass, we cannot delay it for too long."
Guan Yu was worried that the food would be eaten the day.
"When you are at the end of your life, there will be a solution." Chen Yang said.
Time passed quickly, the weather became colder and more snow in the sky.
It is located in a high mountain, and the temperature is lower.
At the same time, Cao Cao's army finally joined forces with Guan Ping and Jiang Wei and others to come to Taurus Road.
Zhou Cang occupied the most dangerous place on Taurus Road. As soon as Cao Cao came, he played with Zhou Cang, but no matter what, he was unable to break through Zhou Cang's defense.
