Specifically, how Cheng Hang escaped at night, how he found the person in charge of the "Sichuan-Sichuan Line", how he left a mark and connected it, how much sweat and effort, all these efforts were combined into the letter in Xu Shu's hands.
Although it is said to be a letter, it cannot actually be said to be a letter in the full sense, because it is actually just a small note with only six words on it, "The secrets of the Sichuan rebellion are leaked and there are hidden dangers."
Of course, letters are delivered by carrier pigeons, otherwise the journey from Hanzhong to Sichuan and Shu is mostly mountainous, so it would be difficult to get up quickly.
The Zhang family on the Jinniu Road occupied Yangping Pass, and Zhuge Liang was blocked at Jiange. If we took a detour to Yinping, it would be rugged and difficult to navigate, and it would be very far. At least one or two months of walking would make the day lilies completely cold.
Fortunately, there are also homing pigeons. Normally, a strong homing pigeon can carry a weight of 75 grams for flying, but basically unless it is absolutely necessary, homing pigeons will not be allowed to fly in most cases.
Carrying such a heavy letter for delivery.
Most of the homing pigeons are one-way. A few have been specially trained and can fly back and forth, but it is more difficult and limited by distance and environment. Therefore, every homing pigeon used represents an emergency and also represents an emergency.
An adventure, because there may be no homing pigeons available for the next urgent message...
In other words, the information that Xu Shu obtained now means that according to the judgment of frontline intelligence personnel, this matter is an urgent matter.
Even so, when Xu Shu got the letter, he was still a little dissatisfied, because the things in the letter were indeed very important, but there was also a lot of information missing...
If there was a chance, Xu Shu really wanted to capture the detective who wrote this information and reprimand and teach him. After working so hard to find out the information, couldn't he write it in more detail?
Even though the note is too small to be written on, but the pigeon has a note on his left foot, can't he also tie one on his right foot?
From the information in this letter, it seems that Zhang Ze already knew the news about the Sichuan-Sichuan advance, but what Xu Shu cannot determine now is whether the ambush was aimed at Zhuge Liang, Wei Yan, or both...
Zhuge Liang's side is basically equivalent to a bright cover. Of course, this cover may also become a real attack, but the main direction of attack is still on Wei Yan's side. Only Wei Yan broke through Zhang Ze's direction, resulting in
When the entire Hanzhong defense system collapses, Zhuge Liang's side will turn into a real attack.
So the more dangerous person now is not Zhuge Liang, but Wei Yan.
But the Wei Yan incident itself was done in secret, so how did the news leak out? And how did the news reach Hanzhong?
You must know that there are no mobile phones and telegraphs these days. All messages are transmitted by two or four legs. It is already a very luxurious thing to set up a carrier pigeon contact network like Feiqian, because these carrier pigeon contact points are not
It’s a one-time investment, but it also requires ongoing maintenance costs.
Both humans and pigeons need it.
Moreover, special personnel are needed to patrol, otherwise if they encounter some people with bad character, they feel that if there is no supervision, they are corrupt, and when they really need to use it, they will just be cuckooing...
So Xu Shu initially felt that even if Sichuan and Shu knew Wei Yan's news, they might not be able to pass it on. On the one hand, it was because the Jinniu Road was blocked by Zhuge Liang, and the Mi Cang Road was in Wei Yan's hands. As for the Yinping Road,
Well, let's not talk about whether it is easy to leave or not, but even if we go around it, it will take more than a month. By that time, Wei Yan has already left Micang Road, and even if he gets the news, it will be too late.
But now it seems that either someone discovered the problem before Wei Yan took action and ran ahead of Wei Yan, or Zhang Ze actually used this trick.
This is understandable. After all, before Zhang Ze rebelled, he was one of his own people and might have known about this matter. Only his "friends" knew where the "dagger in the ribs" was the most painful...
"Here comes someone!"
Xu Shu called his close guards, sealed the urgent information and the hastily written letter, and asked him to rush to the Brazilian Mi Cang Road and hand it over to Wei Yan...
Seeing the guards leaving in a hurry, Xu Shu fell into deep thought.
Wei Yan and Zhuge Liang have to solve the problems ahead, and it is up to Xu Shu to deal with the problems in Sichuan and Shu...
……(｀へ′)……
The sky gradually became brighter, and a group of people were walking in the valley.
Rice Cang Road.
In fact, Micang Road is a road, let alone a network, because in the long years, there was only one Jinniu Road and Micang Ancient Road, which could not meet the transportation and trade needs of Sichuan and Shu. Therefore, in the gradual development process
Among them, the Mi Cang Dao system, which is more complex than the Taurus Dao, was born.
It's just that in the early Qin and Han Dynasties, Micang Road was not as complicated as in later generations. In Wei Yan's time, it was among the ancient Micang Roads, and it was the most easterly road.
Starting from Bazhong, cross Dengjiaya in Baling Mountain and enter the Bajiang Valley, which includes Yuquan, Mouyang, Shangliang, Nanjiang and other county towns. Because this road passes through Dengjiaya in Baling Mountain, it is also called "Baling Road"
”, which is regarded as the earliest route recorded in history books.
The road to the mountains and forests is not easy to walk, especially in places like Sichuan and Sichuan. There are few people in the mountains, let alone GPS positioning. If you go to the wrong intersection, you may never find it again.
Go to the road that turns out of the mountain.
Every Wei Yanshan soldier who knows the way is a treasure among treasures. These people will receive the most considerate care. No matter when, they will not have a share in the first few rounds of charging, in order to keep these people as much as possible.
A person's life saves everyone's hope of walking out of the mountains and forests.
Some keyboard warriors may think that it’s just a walk on a mountain road, what’s the big deal...
In fact, even in later generations, many "donkey travelers" who die in the wild every year actually have the same thoughts as these keyboard warriors when they set out on the road.
Viewed horizontally, it looks like a ridge and a peak on the side, with different heights near and far.
The same mountain has different observation points, which means it has different shapes. In addition, it is surrounded by various greens. It is like trying to find a specific green pattern in the camouflage uniform. If you don't have certain
Knowledge and specific talents were difficult to achieve in the Han Dynasty.
If there is still a road, then following the road will generally be fine. If there is heavy fog in the mountains and you lose your way and can't find the road, you will have to rely on people with specific talents to return to the correct path.
on the road.
Wei Yan stood at the mountain pass and looked around.
The humidity in the mountains and forests is relatively heavy. Basically, all mountain soldiers, including Wei Yan, will wear a raincoat on the outside. On the one hand, they can prevent rain and moisture. On the other hand, if they encounter any special circumstances, they can go to the bushes beside the road.
A cat is also a protective color.
Wei Yan suddenly felt that there were eyes staring at him, but he couldn't see anyone. After searching carefully, he found some light yellow spots on a tree not far away...
grass!
Wei Yan immediately grasped the sword, and the guards behind him erected their shields almost at the same time.
After a moment of confrontation, the hunters on the trees seemed to feel that these two-legged orcs were numerous and not easy to mess with, so they quietly disappeared under the swaying leaves.
"Send the order...there is a big cat...be careful..." Wei Yan searched for the marks around him and seemed to feel his eyes leaving. He relaxed a little, but his hand still did not leave the handle of the knife, and the place where he swallowed his mouth was.
It seemed as if YaZi was going to roar out at any time in the next moment.
In ancient times, there were many names for cats such as tigers. Those who directly called tigers and leopards called them big bugs, long bugs, violent bugs, tigers, mountain kings, and some called them general Ban Yin, white forehead, etc.
There are even some weirder titles for generals, such as pole flowers, old teeth, etc. Anyway, they have everything, which is very interesting.
For Wei Yan, tigers are also big cats, and leopards are also big cats.
What Wei Yan was staring at just now was a leopard, but in Wei Yan's opinion, it was a big cat.
For these big cats, Wei Yan and others are outsiders, and they have invaded their territory again and again. It’s just that these big cats are very smart. If they are not really angry, they will generally not interact with many
When the two-legged beasts start training, they will secretly look for the lone ones to attack. This habit has been engraved in the genes of these big cats, especially when they see the back of the young two-legged beasts, they will automatically
Move up...
In the mountains and forests, there are not only enemies, but also opponents like tigers and leopards. Even an inconspicuous poisonous snake can easily take away a life.
But the reason why human beings are strong is because they can swarm, especially when humans form an organized and disciplined group, any overlord in the mountain can only walk around obediently.
The only thing that can defeat the human group is the human group itself.
Wei Yan received the news that was rushed from Chengdu to Bashan, and also knew that there might be Zhang Ze's soldiers ambushing him in front, but Wei Yan didn't care, and didn't think what these ambush troops could do, because Wei Yan thought he was in the mountains and forests.
, is the king of the mountains and forests.
If Mrs. Zhang really had the courage to enter the mountain...
I just swallowed him in one gulp!
Yonekang Road is not only a mountain road, but also a waterway. Sometimes it is even a road carved by the flesh and blood of people in the mountains and rivers with mountains above their heads and water under their feet.
"Take half an hour to repair!"
Wei Yan ordered, then pointed to the hilltop on the right, and said to the guard on the side, "Let's go! Go up and have a look!"
The guard nodded and walked up the not steep hillside.
The hillside is covered with all kinds of grass and shrubs, and there are woods on the mountainside and on the top of the mountain.
Wei Yan and others used long sticks to explore the road ahead while walking forward.
On a slope like this that no one has walked all year round, the most dangerous part is not climbing. In addition to the long insects hiding under the grass leaves, there are holes under the weeds and vines or loose rocks. Look up.
Some grass leaves are actually weak when they are low. If you step on them with one foot, they will collapse to the bottom. If you only step on one leg, you can still survive if you react faster. If you walk too fast, both legs will not be able to bear the strength.
Even the bushes hugging the side were too much to bear...
Therefore, just like Wei Yan, he first punches forward, then pokes the place where he is going to land. When he falls, he has to test his strength with his feet twice before he can really step on it.
Therefore, the walking postures of Wei Yan and others are not good-looking. They take a step and pause a few times like an old man. But if you want to look good, you will die. The choice between looking good or living well is up to you.
There was silence all around. Wei Yan stood on the top of the mountain. The reason why he chose this top of the mountain instead of another was because the trace of the big cat was found there just now. Therefore, normally there must be no one in the forest over there.
, unless Zhang Ze or someone else can keep a big cat as a pet...
Wei Yan raised his eyes and looked into the distance.
If he didn't get the news, Wei Yan might have fallen into Zhang's ambush in order to rush on his way, but now...
This mountain road is not easy to walk on. Even Wei Yan's mountain soldiers who have been training since Huang Cheng must find a place to rest after walking on the mountain road for three hours. They can't travel for more than six hours in a day.
, it is best to control it to about five hours to ensure that these mountain soldiers have sufficient physical recovery.
Then the answer is simple...
Wei Yan concluded that even if the Zhang family had an ambush, they would not be able to go deep into the Micangdao Valley. They would only be close to the place where they originally stationed troops, and even place some sentries in front. The most likely ones were Yi people or Mi people...
After all, for a mountain soldier who has been raised and trained like General Hussars, there is no second best in the world!
Climbing mountains and ridges, building roads and bridges, and camping in the wild may seem simple, but in fact they are not that easy.
Take wood as an example. Wei Yan's mountain soldiers not only had to carry axes, but also saws. This was not a duplication of tools, but it was indeed necessary.
Although both saws and axes can be used to cut down numbers, sometimes it is faster to use an ax, and sometimes it is faster to use a saw. For example, if you want to cut down trees that exceed the mouth of a bowl, you must use the saw first.
However, in some places where it is difficult to use force, the only thing that can be used is an axe, and an ax can chop wet trees faster than a dry one. If it only needs to be broken, and the wood is not very thick, an ax should be faster than a saw.
The hussar generals have thought of small items like this, and they are well-equipped and equipped. Even the short sword and the small steel shield are the first in the entire army, and even the cavalrymen only have wooden shields...
Well, in fact, the cavalry also had improvements to the cavalry, but Wei Yan didn't know about it.
Therefore, these are the reasons why Wei Yan is so proud.
Soldiers need to have some arrogance. They cannot embarrass a certain legion or disgrace a certain general. This kind of arrogance, when used well at the right time, will form a military soul.
Wei Yan was not from a high background. Before he entered Sichuan, he was just an ordinary junior high school student in the army. Moreover, Wei Yan's appearance was not so impressive that it made people forget about the world and admire them at a glance. Wei Yan was not very tall and had a simple appearance.
, not surprisingly, there is also a small scar on the face, which makes one eye look bigger and the other slightly smaller. The beard is also a mess, which has nothing to do with the word "elegant".
But Wei Yan also has the advantage of Wei Yan. He only needs to stand among the soldiers and he will be a soldier. If he moves around a few times, he may not even be able to find the person...
Like Guan Yu, the whole body is green...
Well, in fact, in reality, Guan Yu is not dressed in such a dramatic stage costume, but his beard is instantly recognizable, just like when Cao Cao was hunted down in history. The big beard with the crown has removed two features.
After that, he was just like a normal person.
But now, Wei Yan wanted to take the first step and find Zhang's ambush, and then just like the hunter stalking the cicada and the oriole behind, he would finish the whole pot!
Wei Yan rubbed the 睝皦 relief on the handle of the knife and smiled slightly, "Nine times out of ten, it's the Bajiang Valley..."
Starting from Nanzheng, Hanzhong and Chenggu, there are roads leading to the northern section of Micang Road. Going south over Baling Mountain, you can enter the Bajiang Valley. This is probably the limit of what Zhang's soldiers can reach.
The place is either further ahead, in Yuquan, or Guanba, or simply set up a sentinel point in the valley, and then set the ambush location in Baling Mountain!
Therefore, Wei Yan deduced that setting up an ambush in Baling Mountain was the most likely!
……(*`ェ′*)……
Wei Yan's guesses were basically correct, but what Wei Yan didn't expect was Zhang's "ambush". He didn't use many of his own soldiers, but gathered a bunch of people to lure people...
The fighting patterns of the Di and Ji people were completely different from those of Zhang Ze's Hanzhong soldiers.
Perhaps Zhang Ze also knew that his men were not good at mountains and forests, so he simply found Di and Zhiren, promised huge profits, and asked Di and Zhiren to deal with Wei Yan. If you have money, you can let Mo Tuigui, and he is willing to do so.
Zhang Ze, who was bleeding, and the real gold and silver utensils and goods that he smashed out, of course made these dissidents and cheaters tempted.
Not everyone has a long-term consciousness. If everyone in this world has a long-term vision and can see future development and changes, not to mention whether it will reduce disputes between people, at least piracy will definitely be a problem.
No more. These dissidents and swindlers, if they have an advantage today, they can take advantage of it today. As for the future, it is none of their business.
Compared with Zhang's soldiers in Hanzhong, the Di and Ji people are more adapted to life in the mountains and forests, and have their own ways and methods.
If the line from Feiqian to Weiyan is the mountain experience gained by using equipment, then for Di and Zhi people, it is basically the experience gained in exchange for human life...
Which mountain forest has snakes, which side has the most insects, which mushrooms are poisonous, and which mountain rocks have water? These things are all the experiences that generations of Di and Di people have gained with their lives, and then they have become what we are today.
The ability of the Di and Ji people to resist Wei Yan.
"Not only do we have to ambush! We also have to set a trap!"
The leader of the Zhiren tribe said, "I heard, this guy is difficult to deal with! Fighting head-on... Well, I am not that our warriors are not brave. I just said that fighting head-on will cause great damage. If you can use traps, why not use traps?"
?Not every big cat hunt requires dozens of deaths to be called a success, right?」
The leader of the Di people looked down upon the timidity of the people, but he didn't say anything. He just asked, "How do you count the heads?"
