Chapter 458: Trapped Dragon (Part 2)

Suffering the blow of betrayal and separation from relatives, Xiang Yu actually no longer wanted to live, but he didn't want to die with doubts. He continued to live just to understand the doubts in his heart.

Now Guiguzi told Xiang Yu that he could not die yet, which made Xiang Yu feel extremely guilty.

Xiang Yu laughed at himself and said bitterly: "Just because I mistakenly believed Shan Xiong's letter and did not listen to Zhang Liang's advice, as a result, the entire army of 400,000 was wiped out. Yu has no face to see the elders in Jiangdong..."

Nan Hua rolled his eyes and interrupted lightly: "The entire Yellow Turban will be defeated because of you. Your shamelessness is not just for the elders of Jiangdong, but for the people of the world."

Xiang Yu also became excited instantly and said anxiously: "This is also what the younger generation is puzzled about. The Yellow Turbans currently have an army of one million and still have an absolute advantage in military strength, but Zhang Liang said that Yu will become a sinner for the ages."

Xiang Yu still doesn’t understand why Qin Hao risked his own life to mislead him. What was the reason behind doing this?

Xiang Yu himself couldn't figure it out, so he could only place his hope on Qin Hao's teacher Gui Guzi. He felt that since Gui Guzi had saved him, he would definitely tell him something.

However, Guiguzi still did not answer directly. Instead, he pointed to the chess game on the table and said calmly: "If you can understand this game, you will understand everything naturally."

Xiang Yu looked at the chess game with confusion, but it was just an ordinary chess game, and he didn't see any mystery in it.

Seeing Xiang Yu's confused look, Guiguzi pointed to the center of the chess game and reminded: "This is like Sizhou, you are taking a look now."

 Sizhou?

Xiang Yu had an idea and looked at the black and white chess game, while the black flag in the center was gradually surrounded by white chess pieces...

Looking at it, Xiang Yu seemed to have noticed something, and murmured to himself: "Trapped dragon situation? How is this possible? It can't be like this?"

 What is the situation of trapping the dragon?

There are enemies on all sides. You can't attack if you advance, and you can't defend if you retreat. All you have to do is wait and drag the enemy to death. This is a sure-win situation, which is to trap the dragon.

 “A child can be taught.”

Gui Guzi's eyes flashed with admiration, and then he continued: "Sizhou is bounded by Jibin to the north, Jingxiang to the south, Yanyu to the east, Yongliang to the west, and surrounded by eight passes. This is both the center of the world and the center of the world. The land of trapped dragons.

The defeat of your southern army, coupled with the loss of Guangcheng Pass, is equivalent to allowing the Han army to close the southern gate of Sizhou.

Hangu Pass as the west gate was not lost, but the south gate was acquired again. The two southwest gates are now in the hands of the Han Dynasty.

If the Han Dynasty retakes the two northeastern gates, no matter how many Yellow Turban troops there are at that time, they will only be a trapped dragon locked in Sizhou. "

That's right, the core of Guiguzi's mission to help the Han Dynasty defeat the Yellow Turbans was to use the entire Sizhou as a prison cage and then implement the "Dragon Trap"

 In history, the most classic "dragon trap" is the "Battle of Changping" between Qin and Zhao.

Bai Qi trapped 400,000 Zhao troops to death in Changping, and finally forced them to surrender and killed 400,000 Zhao troops.

In that battle, Bai Qi had the advantage of the land and the people, so the shackles he used to trap the Zhao army were the unique terrain of Changping and the tenacity of the Qin army.

The situation that trapped the dragon in Sizhou was due to the right time, place and people. However, what Guiguzi used to trap millions of yellow scarves was the entire Sizhou, the eight passes of Luoyang, the severe cold climate and the three million people of Sizhou.

“Do you understand now why the Yellow Turban was defeated because of you?” Nan Hua said lightly, and he was also very sad in his heart. After all, Zhang Jiao was his apprentice, but he...

Xiang Yu still didn't understand. He shook his head and said: "It's impossible. Even if Qin Hao defeats me, with the current strength of the Han army, there will be no extra troops to carry out..."

As he talked, Xiang Yu finally figured out where Qin Hao's hidden troops were used. "Daguguan, it turns out that Qin Hao did not hesitate to take the risk with an army of 100,000 to fight against my 400,000 troops. The real purpose is to seize Daguguan."

 After Hulao Pass was burned, Dagong Pass became the only pass between Sizhou and Yanzhou.

Dagu Pass is indeed extremely important, but because it is located in the rear area, there are only a basic 10,000 defenders in the pass.

After all, according to common sense, it is almost impossible for the Han army to get here, but who would have thought that Qin Hao did not play his cards according to common sense at all.

Once the Dagu Pass is lost, the communication between Sizhou and Yanzhou will be cut off, and the east gate of Sizhou will naturally be closed.

Xiang Yu is not stupid. Gui Guzi has already mentioned this, so he can naturally think of the key.

“So it turns out that the real purpose of Shan Xiongxin’s counterintuitive plan was to present a false force distribution map so that I would think that the main force of the Han army was on the opposite side.

 The real main force of the Ke army is to go back to the weak rear and take the opportunity to capture Dagong Pass and Guangcheng Pass, so as to cut off the connection between Sizhou and Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and complete the trap of the dragon. "

 At this thought, Xiang Yu felt even more bitter in his heart. He regarded Qin Hao as his lifelong rival, but Qin Hao didn't seem to care about him.

While fighting him on one side, Qin Hao also took into account the overall situation. In the end, he did not even use the main force and only led a partial division to defeat himself.

 “Lost, completely lost.”

Only then did Xiang Yu realize that what he saw was not on the same level as Qin Hao. Qin Hao had completely defeated him in terms of vision.

 I'm so convinced! Even if Xiang Yu didn't want to, he had to admit it.

It was then that Xiang Yu remembered how similar the Han army's resistance in Sizhou was to Qin Hao's actions in Jingzhou.

In the entire four counties of Sizhou, except for the capital Luoyang, which had stronger resistance, the other cities were basically given up by the Han army on their own initiative.

 At that time, Xiang Yu was dazzled by the victory, but now it seems that Da Han and Qin Hao had one idea, which was to lure the enemy deeper.

"Luring the enemy deep, using an entire state as bait, just for an uncertain future, such great determination, such great courage... That's not right..."

Xiang Yu seemed to have thought of something again, like a drowning man grabbing the last straw, and said excitedly:

"To the north, there is Mengjin, which can only be captured with the cooperation of naval forces, and the Han army has no naval forces at all in the Central Plains. As long as one of the four gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest is still there, the situation of trapping the dragon will not be established."

 Meng Jin in the hands of the Yellow Turbans was captured by Xiang Yu himself, so Xiang Yu knew how difficult it was to capture Meng Jin. Without the cooperation of the navy, it was almost impossible to succeed.

“Who said that the Han Dynasty did not have a naval army? Liangshan and Song Jiang were devoted to the Han Dynasty. Isn’t that just another ready-made navy?”

  Xiang Yu opened his mouth, but he had no words to reply.

 Eight hundred miles of water in Liangshan, there are indeed sailors who have never been weak, and Liangshan Songjiang is really not tenacious.

After surviving several sieges by Zhang Bao and Huang Chao, although Liangshan's power on land was greatly damaged, the navy suffered no damage.

Song Jiang has already fallen out with the Yellow Turbans, and Song Jiang is devoted to the Han, and is even eager to turn against the Han. If the Han offers recruitment as a condition, then Song Jiang will definitely turn to the Han happily.

This time I have filled in a lot of holes in the front. I hope I haven’t missed anything. If you see anything wrong, you can remind me. Liuxiang will strive for perfection.
