…
In the next few days, the three of them walked along the ancient Yangchang Road, sleeping in the open air, hurrying and slowly, and finally arrived outside a dense forest four days later.
At this point, there is no road ahead.
Looking up, you can see the mountains pressing down on your face; looking down, you can see valleys full of deep water. A huge and majestic mountain range stands in front of everyone, blocking the way forward.
At the end of the ancient road there is a boundary monument with three characters: Motianling.
Zhang Xiu was immediately elated. He removed the rope from his shoulders and jumped up happily: "General, we are here!"
Ma Su nodded slightly, stepped forward, rubbed the boundary monument with his big hand, and thought about it.
In the original time and space, the fall of the Shu Han began here.
At that time, Wei State raised 180,000 troops and attacked Shu Han in three groups.
Deng Ai, the general who conquered the west, led more than 30,000 troops and marched from Didao to contain the main force of Shu general Jiang Wei stationed in Tazhong; Zhugexu, the governor of Yongzhou, led more than 30,000 troops and attacked Wudu to cut off Jiang Wei's retreat;
Zhong Hui led his main force of more than 100,000 people to take advantage of the opportunity to capture Hanzhong, and then headed straight for Chengdu.
Deng Ai ordered Wang Qi, the prefect of Tianshui, to attack Jiang Wei's camp, ordered Qian Hong, the prefect of Longxi, and others to attack Jiang Wei's front, and ordered Yang Xin, the prefect of Jincheng, to attack Gansong.
Jiang Wei saw Deng Ai's troops attacking in four directions in Tazhong, and heard that Zhong Hui was marching into Hanzhong. Knowing that Hanzhong was difficult to secure, he immediately led his troops to retreat eastward, eager to get rid of Deng Ai and retreat to Yinping. Wei general Yang Xin and others pursued
, until the Jiangchuan Pass, the two sides fought a battle. Jiang Wei was defeated and was blocked by Zhuge Xu who occupied the bridgehead (southeast of Yinping) and could not pass.
Jiang Wei pretended to take a detour from the Konghan Valley to the north, and made a pretense of sending troops to attack Zhuge Xu's rear, luring Zhuge Xu to leave the bridge head thirty miles away and block the attack to the north. Jiang Wei took the opportunity to quickly pass through the Yinping Bridge head and meet with Liao Hua.
, Zhang Yi and other generals joined forces and guarded the sword pavilion.
Zhuge Xu rushed to intercept, but failed to catch up after a day's delay. Therefore, he was punished by Zhong Hui, who seized military power and merged with his tribe.
When Deng Ai saw this situation, he was naturally unwilling to join Zhong Hui. Instead, he proposed a plan to sneak into Yinping and use surprise troops to penetrate into the hinterland of the Shu Han Dynasty to catch them by surprise.
The reason why Deng Ai chose to take the Yinping Trail was, on the one hand, seeing Zhuge Xu's fate, and on the other hand, because he really couldn't enter the sword pavilion from the front, so he had to find another way.
Deng Ai's original idea was to rush into the hinterland of the Shu Han Dynasty and force Jiang Wei to retreat and come back for reinforcements, so that Zhong Hui's army could take the opportunity to enter Jiange. The two armies would attack from front to back and defeat Jiang Wei in the Central Sichuan Plain.
However, Deng Ai did not expect that the Shu Han's defense would be so weak. As soon as his front army (2,000 people) arrived in Jiangyou, the Jiangyou garrison directly abandoned the city and surrendered. Therefore, Deng Ai temporarily changed his plan and responded to the arrival of the follow-up troops.
They drove straight into Chengdu and finally succeeded in making an emergency landing at Liu Chan, annihilating the Shu Han!
From this aspect alone, the reason why the Shu Han Dynasty perished at the speed of light was entirely because of Deng Ai's sudden entry. The reason why Deng Ai was able to catch him off guard was that he entered Shu from the Yinping alley, catching everyone off guard and suddenly unable to do anything.
any effective response.
Stealing a home has been an irresistible method of defeating the enemy since ancient times.
There is only one reason why the Shu Han people were not prepared at all - the Yinping path is too difficult to walk.
The key starting point for Deng Ai to cross this path is Motian Ridge.
The dangers of Motian Ridge and the dangers of Yinping Road cannot be described in just a few words.
In fact, many people in the local area know about the Yinping Trail. It is no accident that Deng Ai successfully led his army straight here.
The Shu Han knew this road. They did not send troops to guard this road because the Shu Han court believed that although the Yinping Trail could lead directly to the Shu Han, due to the difficulty of the road, only a few people could pass it, and it would be difficult for a large army to march.
That's why Liu Chan didn't send anyone to guard him.
Deng Ai seized on this loophole in Shu Han's consciousness and successfully sent his army to dig mountains to clear roads, repair bridges and roads, build ropeways, and sent troops to strongholds along the road to defend dangerous areas, and then passed through the Yinping Trail.
But from another perspective, the reason for the Shu Han's demise at the speed of light was the disparity in military strength.
At the beginning, Deng Ai (30,000) attacked Dazhong, Zhuge Xu (30,000) captured Wudu, and Zhong Hui (120,000) attacked Hanzhong. Wei used 180,000 troops.
Later, in order to prevent Zhong Hui from rebelling, Sima Zhao ordered Jia Chong to lead 10,000 troops into Xiegu, and he led 100,000 troops to take control of Chang'an.
A total of about 300,000 horses were used before and after.
At this time, the Shu Han Dynasty only had a total of 100,000 troops, and they had to divide their troops to garrison Chengdu and other important places. With only a small number of troops and horses at hand, even if Jiang Wei had great power, he would still be concerned about one thing and not the other, making it difficult to resist.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the Wei Kingdom was destroyed at the speed of light.
Therefore, in the end, the outcome of all wars must be attributed to one's own strength...
His thoughts turned around, and Ma Su sighed and called up the system.
Although the Yinping Trail is winding and winding, with a total distance of more than 700 miles in the mountains and extremely difficult to walk, the straight-line distance in the air is only more than 200 miles.
The straight-line distance in the air from Motianling to Chengdu is exactly about 500 miles.
A light balloon comes in handy.
【Do you want to retrieve the managed items?】
"retrieve!"
[The managed item "Light Balloon" was retrieved successfully, please pay attention to receive it. 】
Ma Di turned off the screen and looked around. Soon he saw a large heart-shaped balloon slowly falling from the top of Motian Ridge.
Zhang Xiu followed Ma Su's gaze and was immediately overjoyed. He pointed at the balloon and said, "General, look, that guy is back again!"
Seeing the balloon getting closer and closer, Zhang Xiu suddenly stopped smiling, angrily rushed forward, grabbed the hanging basket, tied it to a big rock with a rope, then raised the hilt of his sword and beat the hanging basket.
At the same time, he muttered: "You know how to come back after riding a horse?!"
"If you are able, you can run another one and show me!"
"..."
Seeing this, Ma Su couldn't help but laugh. He looked at the Qiang girl and found that the latter had her hands behind her back and her bright eyes were smiling like a crescent moon.
After a while, Zhang Xiu and Qiang Nu got into the gondola fearfully. Under Ma Su's guidance, they carried their parachute bags and slowly lifted off with the balloon.
Before he reached the top of the mountain, Zhang Xiu was already shivering, slumped down in the hanging basket, clasping the frame tightly with both hands, and stammered: "General...General...General, too...too...too...high."
, I’m scared!”
The Qiang girl was even more miserable than Zhang Xiu. She closed her eyes tightly and huddled into Ma Su's arms like an ostrich. She hung her arms around his neck and shivered constantly.
Is there such a benefit? Damn it. Big snot bubbles popped up from Ma Dimei's nose. She quickly took the opportunity to put her arms around Xiaoman's waist, and in a moment, she was filled with pride and blurted out:
"I don't have the magic of flying, but I can control my energy and reach the sky. I would have thought that all the amazing and talented people in the world would be riding cranes and rowing boats in the vast expanse. How could I ever see such a carefree person!"
It was the middle of winter, and after the balloon rose above the white clouds, it drifted southward with the roaring air current.
In just one hour, it flew hundreds of miles and reached the sky near Chengdu.
Seeing that the balloon was about to fly over the southwest corner of the Chengdu Imperial Palace, Zhang Xiu couldn't care less about being afraid. He slapped the hanging basket repeatedly and shouted: "Stop, stop, stop! It's passed, it's passed!"
This scene was somewhat different from what Ma Su had expected. He immediately removed his big hand lingering on the soft and tender place and quickly looked down.
Seeing that the height at this time was about several hundred meters above the ground, with a huge, sparkling lake directly below, and the balloon still drifting rapidly south, Ma Su immediately picked up the Qiang girl and jumped down without hesitation.
Before jumping down, he did not forget to shout to Zhang Xiu: "Remember to open the parachute bag!"
The strong feeling of weightlessness and the howling wind suddenly enveloped the two of them, raging back and forth.
The Qiang girl fainted from fright the moment she jumped out of the hanging basket.
Ma Su endured the discomfort and opened the parachute bag. When he heard the sound of "呲通~呲通~呲", he breathed a sigh of relief, controlled the direction and drifted towards the palace.
On the balloon, Zhang Xiu stared at the hanging basket with his eyes wide open. He was so frightened that he was trembling all over and did not dare to jump down at all.
Seeing that Ma Su was getting farther and farther away from him, the balloon continued to fly south, seemingly without an end.
He quickly shouted: "General, I don't dare to jump!"
"General, general!"
"General, don't abandon me..."
But no matter how much he shouted, Ma Su drifted further and further away and his situation was irreversible.
When I was at a loss, I suddenly saw the balloon pause for a moment, then fly downwards and fall. After a while, it fell to more than half the height, and it aimed at a hill and crashed into it.
If he didn't jump, he would die. Zhang Xiu suddenly became even more at a loss.
He glanced at the little people on the palace tower, who were as big as ants, looking at them one after another, and then looked at the clear lake below, gritted his teeth, felt cruel, and shouted "Ah--".
He jumped down with his eyes closed.
On the other side, there is the palace courtyard, above the pavilion.
Liu Chan was absent-mindedly listening to Zhuge Liang's teachings, specifically teaching Liu Chan how to be a qualified emperor.
In the past few years, when Coach Liu Chan grew up, he became addicted to drinking and sex, playing, gambling and fighting. He led a group of eunuchs in the harem to play in different ways all day long, and generously rewarded the eunuchs who invented new ways of playing.
The emperor was like this, so the harem and the civil and military officials naturally followed suit and tried their best to secretly send Liu Chan interesting things to please Liu Chan and get promoted.
However, because Zhuge Liang was controlling the overall situation, their little plan failed.
However, since Zhuge Liang came back, Liu Chan has not interfered with state affairs for two months.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang had to withdraw from the trivial state affairs, teach people about farming, iron smelting, planting mulberry, fishing, having more children and many other things, and encourage his successor to make progress.
Zhuge Liang stood at the bottom and said earnestly to Liu Chan who was sitting on the top of the steps: "Your Majesty should be a virtuous minister and stay away from villains; indulge less in wine and sex, and worry more about national affairs. In addition, your Majesty must refrain from such childish games as fighting crickets...
…”
"Your Majesty is no longer a child..."
"I know, I know." Liu Chanhun waved his hands carelessly and said with a smile: "My father-in-law has been working hard on state affairs all day long, so go back and have a rest!"
"Let's take a rest, ah..."
Zhuge Liang glanced at Liu Chan helplessly, and then again, until the latter looked at him with restraint and caution. Then he sighed quietly, cupped his hands and said, "Old minister, please retire."
Fang turned around and suddenly heard the eunuch Huang Hao shouting: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, look, there is a birdman in the sky!"
"No, no, no, it's umbrella men, two umbrella men!"
Everyone was in an uproar and looked up one after another.
Zhuge Liang quickly stopped and raised his eyes to look up.
I saw Ma Su hugging a young woman who was wrapped up tightly, and she landed not far away. After landing, he rolled around in his arms with the young woman, then removed the umbrella bag, Shi Shiran stood up and said to
Everyone spread their hands, laughed and said:
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, I'm back!"
Is it Ma Su?
It’s actually Ma Su?!
He actually flew back from the sky!
Everyone was stunned by this scene, froze on the spot, and their expressions temporarily lost control.
