The territory immediately southwest of Hanzhong County belongs to Zitong County. Guancheng, one of Jiang Wei's former strongholds for storing grain, was the border between Hanzhong and Zitong counties.

The Luoyang Chinese army and horses had passed Guancheng a few days ago and were now continuing southward along the Golden Bull Road of the Western Han River.

There had just been a heavy rain, and the water in Western Han Dynasty looked a bit turbid. The road was also very lively. In the long queue, the voices of people, horses neighing, and the footsteps of people and horses mixed together, like a "buzzing buzz..." in the market.

There was a lot of noise. People were just walking normally, and even the birds did not scare away. They were still making noise among the treetops, adding to the noise.

However, a little further away from the road, the air is still very fresh. There are many pine trees planted on both sides of the road, and their lush branches and leaves block the dust kicked up by countless people and horses.

This place belongs to the Micang Mountains, and is still surrounded by high mountains, but this road along the river valley is not difficult to walk. The Jinniu Road was opened in the Pre-Qin Dynasty and has been around for hundreds of years, so it is a very mature road.

Sometimes there will be century-old trees on the roadside that cannot be hugged by many people. Just looking at those giant trees, people can intuitively feel this...

The vicissitudes of time!

Qin Liang followed the group on horseback and slowly seemed to be getting used to the mountainous area.

After all, the march had lasted for nearly two months since leaving Luoyang! Or maybe it was because the conditions were not that bad for the march within Wei State.

Tens of thousands of troops first set off from Luoyang and reached the Guanzhong Plain in separate routes; then they crossed the Qinling Mountains in several routes and entered the western part of Hanzhong. The route led by Qin Liang personally had the most people and horses, and took the Chencang Road on the west side. Chencang Road was the farthest.

, but also the flattest and widest.

Then various groups of people went south along the Jinniu Road in batches and entered the Micang Mountain area. The various units of the Zhong base camp led by Qin Liang were already in front of the army.

Then everyone arrived at Guancheng, which may have been Yangping Pass in later generations. There was a large pavilion in Guancheng, which was built by Jiang Wei. It is now a large warehouse for the Wei army, with a large amount of grain and grass stored in it. Qin Liang's troops rested in Guancheng

After a day's work, they received sufficient supplies and continued marching along the Golden Bull Road.

Ahead is the territory of Jiameng County, not far from Jiange Pass.

The Shu Han Dynasty changed the name of Jiameng County to Hanshou County. However, to the Wei people, the Han Dynasty had come to an end, so it was still called Jiameng County (Jiameng Pass is the gate of Jiameng County). Qin Liang pondered the map

The direction is estimated to be near Guangyuan.

There is a huge Hengduan Mountain Range to the south of Jiameng County, and there is a narrow, relatively flat area to the north of the mountain range. After the Wei army occupied the northern area, they built many camps and warehouses, so as long as the army reached Jiameng County, there would be no shortage of food and grass.

Since the Battle of Hanzhong, Qin Liang has sent people to manage this place for more than two years, spending a lot of manpower, animal power and food from Guanzhong, Sizhou, Hedong and other places, just for today!

At this moment, the team passed through a winding road. People turned around along the winding road. A mountain blocked the group of people behind them, and the world seemed to become quiet all of a sudden.

Qin Liang and others continued to walk around the mountain. The peaceful atmosphere did not last long, and the noise appeared in their ears again. However, the most obvious sound at this time was the sound of water flowing through a slightly higher terrain.

Entering the subducting section of the river, the river water became turbulent and the noise became louder.

Where the high ground divides the border

In this section of the river, the water becomes shallower, and the rocks in the water are faintly visible. The water splashes on the rocks, forming turbulence. At first glance, it seems as if the river is boiling!

Qin Liang also noticed that the surrounding mountains were getting taller and taller, and they were somewhat more imposing than those in Qinchuan.

Later, all the troops arrived at a preset camp one after another and rested for the night.

We continued on the road the next day, and it was still a section of mountains. In the afternoon, everyone walked along the river valley and passed through a majestic mountain range, and the front suddenly opened up!

Although the terrain is still undulating, there are mostly low hills for at least ten miles ahead. For the mountains in the distance to the south, only the shadows of the mountains can be seen vaguely, like black clouds hanging on the horizon!

After walking for a while, on the side of the hill in the distance, a large group of people and flags appeared in sight. The people and horses here were naturally Wei Jun.

Sure enough, as the men and horses got closer and closer, a powerful shout came from the crowd in front: "General!"

The distance was still quite far, Qin Liang just raised his arm and waved without responding, then turned back to Zhong Hui and others beside him and said: "Wen Qin's voice????????????????"

, they arrived at Jiameng County first."

This place has not yet reached Jiameng County, but it already belongs to Jiameng County. And Jiange Pass is still nearly a hundred miles away in the southwest. There is also a county there, not called Jiange County, but Hande County, located beyond Jiange Pass.

to the south; to the north of Jiange Pass is a pavilion called Jiange Pavilion. Of course, most of the place names were given by the Shu Han people. After all, the Shu Han people had ruled Yizhou for decades.

Everyone agreed, and many people seemed to heave a sigh of relief. Until now, people have not encountered even a single enemy soldier, but they seem to have completed a stage of the feat!

; I do n’t have to do whatever, after the people are approaching, there will be Wen Qin.

In addition to Wen Qin, Chen Tai, Deng Ai, Ma Long, Pei Xiu and others, everyone came, "We are waiting to welcome the general!" However, among the people who responded, Wang Jun, the captain of the city gate, was not seen.

Qin Liang also turned over and dismounted to return the salute, then walked up to several generals, held one person's arm with one hand, and said happily for a moment: "Ha! I finally meet you all."

The generals also laughed, and each exchanged a few words before greeting Xiong Shou, Zhong Hui, Jia Chong, Wang Hun and others behind Qin Liang. Qin Liang introduced Ma Mao, who just came back from Soochow last year.

, he served as a general and served as a lieutenant, but none of the generals knew him.

Qin Liang actually felt a sense of trance when meeting long-lost acquaintances and friends in such a strange mountainous area.

However, this time everyone gathered together not to reminisce about the past, but the war was imminent. Qin Liang did not talk too much, and immediately asked Chen Tai, "Has the Chinese army's camp been arranged?"

Chen Tai unfolded the map, pointed at it, and then pointed to the mountain on the east bank of the river, "Cross this mountain, and there is a large open area on the south bank of the river. The Chinese army officers and soldiers can be stationed here temporarily."

Qin Liang nodded and said, "Very good." He turned to look at the mountains on the west bank of the river, "Go and set up camp first."

Everyone remounted their horses. Deng Ai shook the reins, approached Qin Liang and clasped his fists, saying, "General, Hu Fen... has been ordered to set off from Hanzhong five days ago... to Micang Road."

Qin Liang said: "I know."

Hu Fen was the governor of Hanzhong County, with the title of general, and his direct subordinate was the governor of Yongzhou, and the governor of Hanzhong, Deng Ai. So Deng Ai was appointed as the governor of Hanzhong County.

Report Hu Fen's movements.

At this time, Ma Long also followed, and said with cupped hands: "I failed to capture Xuanhan County last year. Due to lack of food and grass, I had to retreat hastily. Please forgive me, General!"

Qin Liang turned back to find Zhong Hui and said calmly: "When I was still in Luoyang, I talked with Shi Ji (Zhong Hui) about Xiaoxing. If an ordinary general leads the army, he may not be able to take that road.

When we get to the place, Xiaoxing's men and horses can cross hundreds of miles of mountains and appear in Xuanhan County, which is already good. The goal last autumn was to harass, and since Xiaoxing completed the military order, what crime is there?"

Zhong Huidao said: "The general himself is the one who leads the troops. How can the general not know whether General Ma is doing his best?"

Ma Long sighed and cursed: "The man who led the troops to guard Xuanhan County is named Luo Xian. He is an unknown person I have never heard of. I underestimated the enemy a little. But I didn't expect that his wife was very cunning!"

Qin Liang came to his senses at this time and suddenly understood Ma Long's mentality. Hu Fen, who led the attack last year, was ordered to go to Hanchang (Bazhong) at this time, but Malong has not yet been appointed. He may

Do you think the general was dissatisfied with his performance last year?

Qin Liangliang then said: "Hu Fen walked through Micang Road last year and the road is familiar. It is naturally safer to let him attack all the way to Micang Road this time.

On the other side of the bypass, the road is dangerous and long, and it is far away from the hinterland of the Shu Han Dynasty, so it is difficult to mobilize the Shu army to reinforce the annexation. However, our army's strategy this year is to conduct an all-out attack in the direction of Zitong County and Brazil County, so the strategy has given up on the bypass."

Ma Long suddenly said: "That's it."

Qin Liang glanced at the young Ma Long and said, "Xiaoxing has other great uses, don't be too hasty."

Ma Long hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "I am willing to serve as the general's vanguard!"

The group of people quickly followed the road at the foot of the mountain and climbed over the hillside in front. Qin Liang looked up and saw that there was indeed a large peninsula-like place by the river with a very open terrain. Of course, there were also many hills, and there were still mountains between them.

See village houses.

Qin Liang immediately thought that at least he wouldn't have to live in a tent tonight. Wei Jun's tent was very small and really uncomfortable. Even the simplest thatch was better than a tent.

The generals of the Chinese army chose a small village on the bank of the Western Han River as the headquarters of the Chinese army. The village was surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery was quite good.

Qin Liang walked into an old tile-roofed house and immediately led the generals into the main room. He first listened to the generals' reports, mainly to find out where the various armies were deployed. For example, among them, the troops transferred from Guanzhong

Chinese and foreign troops were stationed around Jiange Pavilion at this time.

While Qin Liang listened to the generals describing the military situation, he opened the detailed drawings that Pei Xiu had just submitted and found a picture that included Jiange Pass.

Compared with ordinary people's drawings, the drawings drawn by Pei Xiu have an obvious advantage, that is, they contain the elements of the "Six Elements of Cartography", which allow people to judge the ups and downs of the terrain.

Jiange Pavilion is actually located in the valley of two mountain ranges. There is a very straight mountain range to the south, which is obviously the terrain of the Hengduan Mountains.

The location of Jiange Pass is very tricky. It is not in the Hengduan Mountains, but in the echelon of mountains south of the Hengduan Mountains!

The generals briefly reported the situation. Qin Liang did not need to discuss with everyone. He turned to look at Chen Tai and directly ordered: "Since the Guanzhong Army is near Jiange Pavilion, when Governor Chen returns to the barracks, he can immediately mobilize his troops and advance.

Jiange Pass!"
Chapter completed!
