Chapter 516: The Predicament of Baishui Pass

After failing to persuade Xie Xun to surrender, Wang Feng had no choice but to choose to storm Yangping Pass, but things backfired. After a day of hard work, he got nothing but more than a thousand casualties. Wang Feng was very unwilling to retreat back to Guanzhong. After all, he had made a promise in front of King Qin to defend Hanzhong County, but now he couldn't even enter the border of Hanzhong County. Hoarding troops at Yangping Pass, hoping that there will be opportunities for fighters.

When Wang Feng's attempt to attack Yangping Pass failed, Xie Xun's lieutenant general also passed the news to Murongchui that the Qin army had arrived at Yangping Pass.

After getting the news, Murong Chui called all the generals under his command to discuss the matter immediately.

"Everyone, old general Xie sent a message that Qin sent General Wang Feng to lead [-] elite soldiers to Yangping Pass. Old general Xie hopes that the general can come up with an idea." Murong Chui said.

"General, but Old General Xie feels that it is difficult to resist the Qin army. I hope the general can send troops to reinforce?" Lu Meng, the military adviser, frowned and said. Xie Xun sent someone to summon and hoped that Murong Chui would make up his mind. Lu Meng's first reaction Did Xie Xun feel that the Qin army could not be stopped and hoped that Murongchui could send more reinforcements?

Murong Chui shook his head and said: "No, General Xie said in his letter that Yangping Pass is as stable as Mount Tai, and the Qin army has no chance to take advantage of it. He didn't ask this general to send troops to reinforce him. He just said in the letter that Wang Feng This person is able to replace Bai Qi in the military power of the Qin State, there must be something extraordinary, just in case, I hope that the general will make preparations in advance, just in case of emergencies."

"That's good, but General Xie has 1 elite troops under his command, and with the benefits of the Yangping Pass, the mere [-] Qin army has no problem at all. His subordinates think that the general only needs to prepare one army to deal with it." Unexpectedly, we still have to focus all our energy on capturing Nanzheng City, after all, General Yue has issued an order to let our troops go south to Baozhong and Nanzheng to clean up and remove all the remnants of the Qin army outside Chenggu and Baishui Pass." Hearing that Xie Xun didn't come to ask for reinforcements, Lu Meng also breathed a sigh of relief.

In Lu Meng's view, there are [-] elites guarding Yangping Pass, let alone [-] Qin troops. Even [-] will not be able to gain any benefits in front of such a powerful pass as Yangping Pass. As long as Xie Xun can't hold on, the Qin army will There is no chance at all, it is better to focus on how to win Baozhong and Nanzheng.

However, not everyone is as optimistic as Lu Meng, especially General Ren Ping, who was born in the same country as Xie Xun, and Ren Ping came out and said: "General, the last general feels that you should not take it lightly. Old General Xie has always been prudent. If he hadn't been really worried, he would never have asked the general for help easily. The general thought it would be better to send an additional army to support Yangping Pass. If you see our army increasing its troops, you may think that there is no opportunity to take advantage of it and you will retreat. If this is the case, it will also be beneficial for our army to seize Hanzhong. Besides, Baozhong and Nanzheng are already in our pockets. We don’t need too many soldiers and horses, and our army can definitely send a soldier and horse to reinforce Yangping Pass.”

Murong Chui analyzed what Lu Meng and Ren Ping said, and felt that what they said was very reasonable, so he thought for a while and said: "General Ren's words are reasonable. Anyway, there are not many Qin troops who praise Zhongnan and Nanzheng, even if there are few. One army is not harmful, since that is the case, let General Ren lead his troops to reinforce Yangping Pass, and the rest of the army will try their best to capture Baozhong and Nanzheng." Murong thought about it, but still felt that he could not be taken lightly, anyway, except Cheng Outside of Guhe Baishuiguan, the remaining Qin army in Hanzhong is only a few thousand people. The loss of [-] elites is not a big problem for me, and it will not affect my task of cleaning up the remnants of the Qin army.

"Here!" Everyone responded.

After solving the Yangping Pass matter, Murong Chui put his mind on capturing Baozhong and Nanzheng again, and asked Lu Meng, who was in charge of intelligence, "Military Master, how many Qin troops are there in Baozhong and Nanzheng?"

Lu Meng replied: "Back to the general, when the Qin army was in Hanzhong, the soldiers and horses were divided into two groups, one was in Nanzheng, and the other was in Baishuiguan. Now most of the soldiers and horses in Nanzheng were brought by Wei Song. In Chenggu, there were less than 5000 Qin troops in Baozhong and Nanzheng, and they were stationed in Baozhong, Nanzheng, Mianyang, and Guixu. Except for Nanzheng, which had [-] troops, there were only a few defenders in other places. Hundreds of people."

Murong Chui nodded, and said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, the strength of the Qin army is so weak. It is really thanks to my gods and guards. If this is the case, then we must not let go of this god-given opportunity. Send an order, and the army packs up and packs up. Leave 2000 people to guard Anyang City, and Ma Li obeys orders!"

"The end is here!" Marley responded.

"The general ordered you to lead five thousand soldiers and horses as the vanguard to attack Baozhong." Murong Chui said.

"Here!"

"Ling Rong listens!" Murong Chui said.

"The end is here!" Ling Rong replied.

"I ordered you to lead three thousand soldiers to attack Guixu!"

"Here!"

"The rest of the soldiers and horses will be led by this general himself. Within five days, we will take down the set target and join forces in Nanzheng City!" Murong Chui said.

"Here!" Everyone responded.

Two days later, Deng Jun divided his forces and attacked successively, taking Baozhong, Guixu and other places successively. In the 24th year of Qianyuan, on June 21, the troops approached Nanzheng City, stormed for three days, and successfully captured Nanzheng City, a Hanzhong county town. So, at this time, Murong Chui learned that the Yongning Guard led by Lu Feng had also captured Mianyang, and was preparing to go south to Baishui Pass to attack Baishui Pass with the Longwu Guard and Jinwu Guard in the south. He was absent, so he left [-] elites and the general Ling Rong to guard Nanzheng, and brought [-] elites and Yongning Guards to meet and go south to Baishui Pass.

In the 24th year of Qianyuan, on June 27, Deng Jun arrived at Baishuiguan. At this time, Baishuiguan was full of turmoil. There were 17 elites of Deng Guolong Wuwei and Jinwuwei in the south, and [-] elites of Deng Guoyongningwei and Shenwuwei in the north. , while there are only [-] elites in Baishui Pass.Under normal circumstances, with [-] elite guarding such a grand pass as Baishui Pass, it would be difficult for the [-] enemy troops to take Baishui Pass, but at the critical moment, there is already a shortage of food in Baishui Pass.

Since Baishui Pass was acquired by Qin State, it has always been heavily armed. At the beginning, there were only 5000 people. Later, after Deng Qin turned his face, in order to strengthen the defense of Baishui Pass, Bai Qi increased the defense of Baishui Pass to 2 on his own initiative. Later, after Wei Song took charge of Hanzhong County, due to lack of prestige, in order to prevent the [-] elites of Baishuiguan from getting out of his control, he has been strictly controlling the grain and grass of Baishuiguan, and sent people to deliver grain and grass to Baishuiguan every month. There was not much food in Baishuiguan. Now that Nanzheng was captured by Deng Jun and Wei Song was trapped, there was no one to control whether there was any food in Baishuiguan. Besides, even if someone took care of it, there was no food to support Baishuiguan. So when Yongningwei and Shenwuwei arrived at Baishuiguan, Baishuiguan had been out of food for three days.

The general of the Qin Army who was in charge of guarding Baishuiguan was named Gong Bing. At this time, Gong Bing was meeting with the chief secretary of the army with a sad face and asking about the situation in the army.

"Master Li, I don't know what happened to the shortage of food in the army?" Gong Bing asked.

Master Li replied with a bitter face: "Return to General, it stands to reason that Nanzheng's military rations should have been sent to Baishuiguan ten days ago, but now all parts of Hanzhong County have been destroyed by Deng Jun, and Nanzheng's rations have also been destroyed by Wei. General Song transported it to Chenggu, but not a grain of grain was sent to Baishuiguan. Our army ran out of grain three days ago, and now we can only live by expropriating the common people's grain, but even so, it is only five days. Food, if it has been gone for three days now, the food in the army is less than two days old now."

"Damn it, if it wasn't for Wei Song's selfishness, I was afraid that I would compete with him for control of Hanzhong County, how could I have fallen into such a situation?" Gong Bing said indignantly when he heard the words. The reason why he has fallen to this level is that Wei Song is too selfish, afraid that he will compete with him for the dominance of Hanzhong County, and deliberately withholds food. Now it is all right, Nanzheng is gone, Mianyang is gone, Even Wei Song himself was trapped in Chenggu by Deng Jun, and he and the [-] elites of Baishui Pass could only sit and wait for death.

If there is enough food and grass, Gong Dory is confident that with Baishuiguan and [-] elites, he can hold off Deng Jun for at least a few months, or even a year. .

Gong Bram supported his forehead and said: "Master Li, you go back first and inform the gang leader to reduce the army's supply and try to make the army's food storage last longer. Rong Ben will think of a way."

"Here!" Mr. Li replied, and then left.

After Master Li left, Gong Dory began to think hard about countermeasures, but at this point, where is there any way to break through?What a joke, there are 17 Deng Jun besieging Baishuiguan, and he has only 2 people.How to break through?Besides, even if he could break through, the entire Hanzhong County, except for Chenggu and Baishuiguan, has fallen into the hands of Deng Jun, so where can he break through?Could it be possible to go to Chenggu to find Wei Song?at this time.I'm afraid Wei Song is also in danger of protecting himself, unless he surrenders.

Surrender, the word flashed through Gong Bing's mind, and it was out of control in an instant.Gong Dory found that he now seemed to have no way out except to surrender, and Gong Dory found that he had no resistance to surrender.

Gong Bream is Bai Qi's confidant. When Bai Qi returned to Guanzhong, he ordered Gong Bream to guard Baishui Pass, but as soon as Bai Qi returned to Chang'an, he was raped by the King of Qin. With time to liquidate Bai Qi's old troops, I'm afraid he will either be headed or dismissed from office and return home. Qin Guo treats heroes like this, and Gong Bream really can't think of a reason to fight for Qin Guo. Besides, Deng Guo has always treated surrendered generals very favorably. Don’t you see that Lu Feng, who annihilated [-] elites from the Deng Kingdom in World War I, has now become a general of the Yiwei after returning to Deng? They have all been reused, and he surrendered with [-] elites, so he should be able to get a good position.

Thinking of this, Gong Dory began to consider the feasibility of surrendering to Deng Guo.
