Chapter 44 The revolving door

Arc de Gate Pass is located between Maling Mountain and Dali Mountain. It is considered a dangerous pass. It is limited by the terrain. Within a radius of twenty miles, it is difficult to travel and march. Therefore, it can only be regarded as a small pass, but its geographical location is very important and is one of the important gateways of Heluo. It is limited by the terrain and the transportation of food and grass is difficult, so it is impossible to station too many soldiers and horses. The troops stationed at Arc de Gate are only 3,000.

For Meng Da, this was undoubtedly an exile!

After patrolling the city that day, Meng Da returned to the government office and looked at the simple government office, but he sighed in his heart.

The war in Hulao Pass was in full swing. I heard that there was a great victory. According to the military system of the court, the generals of Hulao Pass might have improved after this battle. If they could be sent to Hulao Pass to serve, they would have no problem in establishing a foothold in the court after this battle. It would be a pity...

It’s all for the damn Guo Jia!

Meng Da knew that there were guards in this Arc depot, so there was no need to replace them temporarily. This time, he came to Luoyang with the idea of ​​making achievements. Now it seems that this idea is about to be ruined.

Meng Da always gritted his teeth whenever he remembered Guo Jia, who had transferred him to this place where he could not shit.

Speaking of which, when he was in Langzhong, Meng Da wanted to plot against Guo Jia, but in the end he failed to plot. Instead, Guo Jia planned to plot against him. 30,000 Langzhong army. Guo Jia did not spend a single soldier or even sent troops, so he made the 30,000 Langzhong army a defeated army, completely dismantling Meng Da's original idea of ​​independence.

As a last resort, Meng Da led the remnants to join Zhang Ren and then completely betrayed Zhang Ren. However, because of this, Meng Da was not welcomed among the surrendered generals of Shu.

Huang Zhong was very optimistic about Meng Da and recommended Meng Da to the court. However, in the subsequent Battle of Shu, Huang Zhong followed Guo Jia's advice. Originally, Jiameng's surrendered army was controlled by Meng Da, but at Guo Jia's suggestion, Huang Zhong kept being divided. In the end, Meng Da only had 3,000 troops left. If the overall situation in Shu had been decided and Guo Jia returned to Luoyang, Meng Da really didn't know if he would be plotted by Guo Jia to become a bare commander.

I thought the matter would be over here, but who knew that when he arrived in Luoyang, met the emperor, was about to do a big fight and make some achievements, Guo Jia appeared again.

A few words determined his destiny. It was at this time that Meng Da truly realized Guo Jia's energy, and he could influence Liu Xie's decision to a certain extent!

So Meng Da was transferred to this Arc destiny, and for several months in a flash, he saw several generals who were similar to him and even younger than him make achievements one by one, and became famous all over the world through the battle of Hulao Pass, but he could only stay at Arc destiny. Seeing these people making contributions, he felt quite uncomfortable.

The food and grass were restricted by Guo Jia. Now Meng Da even if he wanted to resist, he could not resist. Guo Jia was ate it tightly.

hateful!

The more I think about it, the worse it feels. I was a hero of pacifying Shu. Even though I had some bad intentions at the beginning, I finally made great contributions to the court. Why did everyone else be promoted? Zhang Ren, who was determined to end, was valued by His Majesty, but I could only watch others make great achievements in this arcade?

Meng Da was very dissatisfied. Even if Hulao Pass did not allow him to stay, he should at least go to a big barrier like Xuanyuan Pass and Yique Pass. Although the terrain of Arc destiny is dangerous, it is obviously in level. Not to mention that compared with Hulao Pass, among the world's largest passes, there is probably any pass in the eight passes in Luoyang.

"General!" A deputy general hurried in and bowed to Meng Da and said, "The outskirts outside the pass found a large number of people approaching the Arc detachment. Please tell us!"

"Large number?" Meng Da frowned. The Arc departed from the junction of Dali Mountain and Maling Mountain. The road was narrow and there were not many soldiers outside the Arc depart. At this time, a thankless place, who would come to find fault at this time!

"Looking up the city!" Meng Da stood up and headed up the city. No matter what, if a large army really came to attack, relying on the dangerous terrain of the Arc decisive pass, this would be a great opportunity to make achievements.

Outside the Arc destiny, Xiang Yang protected Chen Deng and walked along the mountain road. Looking at the Arc destiny gradually appeared in sight, Xiang Yang couldn't help but frown and said, "Lord, even if this pass is taken, it is still hundreds of miles away from Luoyang. There is still a barrier between Yanshi. Why don't we take the main road and choose this small pass to attack?"

"Although Arc de Arc departs small, its location is very important." Chen Deng shook his head and smiled, "You only see that this place is far from Luoyang and the mountain road is difficult to walk. Have you ever seen that this place is only twenty miles away from Chenggao?"

"My lord wants to break the tiger prison!" Xiang Yang looked at Chen Deng in surprise and said.

"Not bad!" Chen Deng sneered: "The princes divided their troops and advanced. The emperor probably would not continue to stay in Hulao, and they would even divide the troops and horses of Hulao. I don't believe that the defense behind Hulao will be so amazing. If Hulao can be taken down and the twenty magic crossbows are taken back to me, the princes will be able to enter Heluo from Hulao Pass. At that time, I see how the emperor can resist the enemy!"

Xiang Yang nodded when he heard this. Indeed, the defense of Hulao locked up in the front is amazing, but on the back, it is probably impossible to be as terrifying as the front. Although the twenty divine crossbows are extremely powerful, they are quite bulky. It is probably not easy to send them to the other city wall.

"But the terrain of this Arc de l'ang, it's unlikely that our army will be able to open it!" Xiang Yang smiled bitterly at the Arc de l'ang that was built on the mountain in the distance.

When Chen Deng heard this, he couldn't help but nodded. This was indeed a problem. He turned his head to look at Xiang Yang and said, "You go outside the city to call the battle to see if you can earn the local generals out of the city."

In such a place, the imperial court should not be able to send any generals to guard it. It would be great if he was a reckless person.

"Here!" Xiang Yang agreed, clicked hundreds of soldiers to leave the team, and headed straight for Arc departing.

The Arc deck closed. As soon as Meng Da arrived at the city wall, he saw a soldier quickly coming to the city. A general came to the city with a spear in his hand and pointed at the Arc deck from afar and said, "Who in the city dares to go out of the city to fight?"

Meng Da was amused when he heard this. His opponent actually regarded him as a brainless general. He didn't answer immediately, and directly took the bow and arrow, and shot him at Xiang Yang with an arrow.

The Shu people were good at shooting, and Meng Da could establish a foothold in Shu. His superb archery skills were also famous for being powerful in Shu. At this moment, an arrow shot out. Although he was not as powerful as Huang Zhong, he was extremely accurate and headed straight to Xiangyang's top gate.

Xiang Yang turned his head slightly, avoided the arrow cluster, stared at Meng Da with cold eyes, snorted coldly, and left when he beat the horse. The enemy generals were obviously not so exciting.

After hearing the news, Chen Deng was silent for a moment and ordered the troops to start an attack on Arc destiny.

At the Arc decree, Meng Da was orderly commanding the soldiers to defend. Although Chen Deng had many troops, due to the limitations of the terrain, he could not concentrate his troops to attack the city gate as soon as possible. After a day of fighting, there was no progress. Instead, many troops were damaged, forcing Chen Deng to temporarily postpone the attack and frowned at Meng Da's flag on the city wall.

"Meng Da, the general of Shu?" Chen Deng pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't want an unknown general in the court to have such ability!"

"Lord, what should our army do now?" Xiang Yang looked at the city wall and frowned.

Chen Deng did not answer, but carefully looked at the terrain of Arc destiny. After a moment, Chen Deng's eyes lit up and turned his head to look left and right and said, "Let's look at the terrain of Arc destiny. Although the terrain is dangerous, it is sandwiched between two mountains. If we can occupy the tops of two mountains, we can stand high and see the virtual and real things in the city, Mi Fang, and Cao Bao!"

"The last one is here!" Mi Fang and Cao Bao hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

"You two lead 500 troops to find a mountain road to the mountain and set up a village on the top of the mountain. Once the war starts, you will shoot archery clusters from the top of the mountain to the inside of the pass!" Chen Deng pointed to the pass and smiled.

"Here!" Mi Fang and Cao Bao agreed, and each led 500 troops to find the mountain road.

"The rest of the soldiers will set up camp first and wait for the morning to attack tomorrow."

On the other side, in the Arc detachment, watching the Xuzhou army retreat, a general stepped forward and bowed and said, "General, have you informed the court of this?"

"No need!" Meng Da snorted coldly. He could handle these Xuzhou troops. Why should he find someone to share military merit with him? Wouldn't that be underestimated by the emperor?

"The mere Xuzhou soldiers and horses also want to invade our boundaries. Arc destiny is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so what if he lets him attack?" Meng Da said confidently: "Don't worry, if reinforcements are recruited, these Xuzhou soldiers will be vigilant. This time, this general will make a great contribution, so that Guo Jia dare not despise me!"
