Chapter 514: Xiang Yu shocked the world (Part 2)
After finishing speaking, Yang Dingtian looked at Xiang Yu cautiously and waited quietly for Xiang Yu's response.
Since Xiang Yu's back was facing Yang Dingtian, Yang Dingtian couldn't see Xiang Yu's face, and this waiting was undoubtedly very painful.
After some time, Xiang Yu finally spoke again.
“Have you considered the consequences of failure?”
Yang Dingtian was immediately overjoyed when he heard this. Xiang Yu did not refuse directly, which shows that there is still a high possibility of helping.
"Of course I have considered it. The possibility of failure of this operation is indeed very high, but as long as the generals help, the brothers will definitely be able to break through the Dagu Pass and return to the court."
Soldiers are the courage of generals, and generals are the souls of soldiers.
Yellow Turban prisoners of war are veterans, and they are not willing to be captured. If there is an excellent commander who cheers for them, even if they cannot exert their peak combat power, they are still terrifying.
Although Yang Dingtian's words are very inflammatory, Xiang Yu is not a newbie, so naturally he will not be persuaded so easily.
“Break the Great Valley Pass?”
A trace of ridicule flashed across the corner of Xiang Yu's lips, and he said calmly: "With a group of prisoners who have just escaped from the prisoner of war camp, you want to break through the Dagu Pass, one of the eight passes in Luoyang? What a fool's dream!"
On the road from Sizhou to Yanzhou, there are two passes that are easy to defend but difficult to attack, namely Dagu Pass and Hulao Pass.
Hulao Pass was burned down by Qin Wen on his own initiative, and it is still being rebuilt. However, it is not known how long it took for it to be completed, so Dagu Pass became the only pass between Sizhou and Yanzhou.
Is Dagong Pass strong?
The answer is of course unquestionable.
At the beginning, Bai Qi led an army of 15,000, and he blocked the successive attacks of Zhang Shicheng and Zhu Yuanzhang's army of more than 200,000. In the end, he forced Chen Youliang to surrender.
In the battle of Dagong Pass, although Bai Qi's commanding ability accounted for a large part of the credit, it could not erase the strength of Dagong Pass itself.
Such a solid barrier that even the heavily armed Yellow Turban army could not break through. How could a group of prisoners of war be able to break through it?
If Dagong Pass cannot be breached, they will not be able to escape back to Yanzhou, and naturally only death awaits these prisoners of war.
Yang Dingtian couldn't help but sigh when he heard this. Xiang Yu is indeed a famous general, and he is really not that easy to fool.
"General, don't worry, my subordinates have made careful arrangements. There is a Han Army equipment depot in Yanshi County, and the number of defenders is not large. After the uprising, our army can capture Yanshi as quickly as possible and arm some brothers. Then attack Dagoguan."
"If that's the case, it's still impossible to break through Dagong Pass." Xiang Yu said lightly. If Dagong Pass was so easy to conquer, how could the Yellow Turbans be trapped to death?
"General, if the general guarding Dagu Pass is a famous general like Qin Hao Baiqi, the possibility of breaking through is naturally very slim. But the current guard general of Dagu Pass is just an incompetent person, and his subordinates have already deployed manpower in the pass in advance. If the inside and outside work together, we will definitely be able to break through.”
A trace of surprise flashed in Xiang Yu's eyes. He didn't expect that this little deputy commander of the Taiping Guards would arrange things so thoughtfully. He is indeed a talent!
Liu Hong was so stupid that the Han dared to arrange for an incompetent person to guard a dangerous place like Dagu Pass. Xiang Yu thought.
From the time he was rescued by Hua Tuo to learning the truth about the "Dragon Trap" from Gui Guzi, Xiang Yu was suffering all the time.
So Xiang Yu's injuries were not healed yet, so he wanted to rush back to Sizhou non-stop to participate in this last losing battle and at the same time atone for his own crimes.
But the injuries in the previous battle were too serious. Xiang Yu's old injuries recurred before he arrived in Sizhou, and he was later rescued by the local people. When Xiang Yu woke up, Huangjin had surrendered, and Zhang Jiao and Xiang Yan were both dead. It would be useless for him to go, so he had to recover from his injuries first.
Xiang Yu never let go of the Yellow Turban, otherwise he would have rejected it from the beginning. He just didn't believe that Dagong Pass could be breached with prisoners of war.
Hang Yu doesn't want to make a useless attack, but if it is really feasible, Xiang Yu will certainly not remain indifferent. Of course, he still has concerns in his heart.
“There are a total of 600,000 Yellow Turban prisoners in Sizhou, and you also said that you have infiltrated 40 prisoner of war camps, which means that up to 200,000 prisoners of war can be rescued. Have you considered what will happen to the remaining 400,000?”
Facing Xiang Yu’s question, Yang Dingtian was speechless.
With the manpower of the Taiping Guards in Sizhou, it is enough to rescue 200,000 people, and the remaining 400,000 people will definitely bear the wrath of the Han army.
Yang Dingtian's eyes flashed with determination, and he said solemnly: "For the Ming Dynasty, and for Your Majesty, Yang Dingtian is willing to bear all the infamy."
Xiang Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of respect when he heard this. The Yellow Turbans have never lacked loyal people, but people's hearts are not as strong as the sky!
That’s all, it’s time for me, Xiang Yu, to atone for my sins! Xiang Yu secretly thought.
Just as Xiang Yu was about to stand up, a group of men belonging to Da So He came over and killed him. The leader was a young swordsman.
The swordsman was overjoyed when he saw Empress Yang Dingtian. He drew out his sword and laughed, "Yang Dingtian, you finally showed up. Let's see how you escape this time."
Looking at the hundreds of pursuing soldiers in front of him, as well as the young swordsman leading them, Yang Dingtian gritted his teeth and said: "Shi...ah..."
Yang Dingtian did not have a good life in Sizhou. He was initially chased by the sword master Wang Yue, and later by Wang Yue's disciple Shi A.
Wang Yue is an old master. Yang Dingtian is no match for him. If he can't beat him, he has no choice but to hide.
Later Wang Yue returned to Guanzhong, while Shi A stayed to continue his mission. If Yang Dingtian couldn't defeat the old one, could he also defeat the young one?
Yang Dingtian originally wanted to kill Shi A to take revenge on Wang Yue, but who knew that Shi A's cultivation level was not low. He had a super-first-class internal strength cultivation level and could already deal with Yang Dingtian.
Shi A is not stupid either. He knows that he is no match for Yang Dingtian, so he never fights alone with Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian has not been able to do anything about Shi A yet.
Seeing that there were nearly two hundred people on the other side, and only a dozen on his own side, Yang Dingtian also wanted to retreat, so he leaned next to Xiang Yu and whispered: "General Xiang, you go first, and my subordinates will come down to cut off the rear for you." ”
“Yang Dingtian, you instigated the prisoners of war to rebel and endanger the stability of Sizhou. I, Shi A, will behead you today.”
“Commander, look there is another person there.”
"Um?"
At this time, Shi A also found Xiang Yu kneeling in front of the tomb. He immediately frowned and said, "This person must be an accomplice of Huang Thief. Let's kill him together. Brothers, kill!"
Speaking, Shi'a took the lead to kill Yang Dingtian with his sword, followed by more than two hundred swordsmen.
"General, leave quickly. If you don't leave, it will be too late." Yang Dingtian urged anxiously. He was not afraid that Xiang Yu would not be able to defeat him, but that alarming the big man would affect the subsequent plans.
