Chapter 767: Decisive Victory Thousands of Miles Away
In fact, it is quite ideal to fight all the way from the south to Hanzhong.
No matter how dangerous the road is, they cannot maintain the food road.
No matter how Liu Bei's army wanders around Hanzhong, there is only one Golden Bull Road for their food. To a certain extent, Liu Bei faces more difficulties than Cao Cao.
But the advantage is that they are the attacking side, so Zhuge Liang has many tricks up his sleeve.
"Do you still remember where General Zhang fled in the report?"
"Uh... I remember, it's Micangshan?"
Huang Zhong stroked his beard and said this.
"That's right! It's Micangshan!"
Zhuge Liang flicked his feather fan and pointed along the direction of Micang Mountain on the map——
Sure enough, everyone looked along the direction pointed out by Zhuge Liang. Micang Mountain runs north to south and is the last section of the Golden Bull Road. Before reaching Yangping Pass, it can be regarded as a relatively gentle mountain range.
The key point is that if they want to bypass Yangping Xiongguan and cross the Han River, climbing Micang Mountain is definitely the safest way. It is more appropriate than going directly over the mountains and ridges from their current location outside Baishui Pass.
"But military advisor... If this is the case, our army's rations..."
Zhao Yun raised a question, and Zhuge Liang responded accordingly:
"So, I said that our operation must be carried out as soon as possible. We must not be dragged by Cao Jun in front of Jinniu Road, nor can we be frightened by Cao Jun in Guangshi and Mamingge Road. On the one hand, the army is holding back Cao Jun on Yangping Pass, and on the other hand... we will get through
The grain road leading to Hanzhong!"
"This place! This is the most important point in this battle!"
Even Liu Bei swallowed his saliva at this time, because he really felt the confidence in Zhuge Liang's words.
Everyone came forward one after another and blurted out:
"Dingjun Mountain?"
——
After Zhuge Liang made a series of plans, everyone's face was filled with smiles.
Now, no one dares to say anything wrong with Zhuge Liang.
Because based on the interlocking arrangements just now, these rough guys, even if they tried their best, they would never think of this.
Dingjun Mountain?
A place that no one has ever mentioned is only ten miles south of Hanzhong City, but it happens to be in a mountainous area behind Yangping Pass and before the runoff of the Han River.
Dingjun Mountain is not too high, so it may be a bit easy for the soldiers.
After all, they may have taken higher mountain roads than Dingjun Mountain along the way.
It's just that... this Dingjun Mountain is too important for the food, grass and baggage troops.
As long as Dingjun Mountain can be captured, Liu Bei's grain and grass can be driven straight in and delivered to any mountainous area south of Hanzhong. Then...if Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong lead his people to the ancient city and go deep into the rear of the Hanzhong Plain, they can easily harass Cao Jun anytime and anywhere.
In the grain road of Han River - even when Yangping Pass is captured, a two-sided attack can still be formed -
As the saying goes, good things come in pairs.
In the dead of night, when everyone was quiet, the army stopped. Before everyone fell asleep, there was a noise outside the camp.
"Lord! Lord! Found it! Found General Zhang!!"
Liu Bei jumped out of his bed again.
Huo Jun's search method was quite effective. Not only did the search cover a wide area, but he was also very careful. Otherwise, it would be really difficult for them to find Zhang who was nearly dead due to excessive blood loss in a natural cave south of Micang Mountain.
fly.
Now, I have to praise Liu Xian——
Maybe it was a painful experience. After fleeing with Zhang Fei for a long distance, Zhang Fei collapsed from exhaustion. In comparison, Liu Xian, who was extremely thin, had to use all the strength of nine cows and two tigers to drag Zhang Fei into the cave.
.
The reason why Zhang Fei's injury did not worsen was because Liu Xian bandaged him.
When he heard the news, Liu Bei cried with joy, while Zhuge Liang just breathed a sigh of relief.
"My lord...since General Huo's army is not far away from us...I think..."
"Military advisor! Don't worry! General Huo has already broken camp and set off when he found General Zhang. It won't be long before they arrive here!"
The messenger had a smile on his face.
"Huo Jun? Very good...very good!"
His senses were completely different from those of Liu Xian, Wei Yan and others. After knowing Huo Jun's handling of Zhang Fei's accident, Zhuge Liang had completely trusted this young general who had never been on the battlefield before.
There are even thoughts of further cultivating him into a mainstay in the army, but of course, these are things for later.
——
It seems that everything is getting better for Liu Beijun.
However, as Zhuge Liang said, many things he said were anticipated by Yi Xiaotian, such as the importance of Guangshi Maming Pavilion Road.
Jiang Wan just clicked on Yi Xiaotian's tip bag and immediately understood the significance of Chen Cangdao to Cao Cao's army.
Xia Bian had already been guarded by Ma Chao and his men. He was ready to go south at any time and attack from Chencang Road to catch Liu Bei off guard.
However, even Zhuge Liang may not be able to accept it.
Dingjunshan, this excellent strategy that he had worked hard to come up with, had already been anticipated.
"Everything you did seemed to be expected by him."
What Zhuge Liang told Wei Yan completely reappeared in him at this moment.
——
"I really envy you that you can go to guard Yangping Pass from the front, but I... have to stand still in that place where birds can't shit - you think Jiang Gongyan is taking revenge for my failure to surrender to him before?"
"Miaocai, how could you have such an idea? Since Gong Yan has said that he has Mr. Yi's tips, then you believe what he said. Although Dingjun Mountain is far away from the battlefield, it has not been attacked by surprise.
The possibility——”
After a day's rest, Cao Cao's army finally began to disperse.
But this time, Jiang Wan had no time to explain to everyone.
The problem of food and grass still needed to be solved. After Jiang Wan quickly assigned tasks during the day, he once again devoted himself to the mountains of paperwork.
As a result, Xu Chu, Xiahou Dun and Cao Zhen were all arranged on the frontal battlefield, that is, near Yangping Pass. They would face the attack of Liu Bei's main army and guard Yangping Pass, the most important gateway in Hanzhong.
Zhang He was assigned to Guangshi to stifle the possibility of Liu Bei's army going north. In response to Ma Chao, they could move out at any time as long as the time was right.
Xu Huang was placed in the rear area, along the ancient Rongqiu Road, which was the only pass through which the enemy could invade Hanzhong from the south.
It seems that Xu Huang is actually not very happy either.
But no one is as depressed as Xia Houyuan at the moment.
Dingjun Mountain.
He really couldn't figure out what the name of this place might be that Jiang Wan had temporarily thought up, so what was there to go to.
Looking to the northwest, you can see the towering Micang Mountains. In comparison, Dingjun Mountain is just a small slope. It is easy to retreat, but what's the point?
Xia Houyuan complained to everyone, and even complained to Cao Cao.
However, Xun You on the side was twirling his beard and telling himself:
"Miaocai, just trust Gongyan once. Maybe he has his own considerations?"
"Consideration is nothing!"
Xia Houyuan slammed the door and left, but the scene before leaving the city was completely seen by Jiang Wan.
