The road to Shu is difficult, and Jiameng Pass is a daunting part of it. If you want to enter Bashu, you must pass Chaotianmen and then Jiameng Pass to reach Zitong, and then to Jiange. Layers of passes stand on the narrow Shu road.
Standing guarded among the mountains, anyone who wants to enter Shu will be frightened.
Maybe this is the so-called "passing through obstacles".
According to the original agreement between Li Xingchen and Wei Xiaokuan, the troops of both sides retreated to Jiange and Hanzhong respectively, and did not deploy troops at the entrance and exit of Beishu Road. In this way, the hinterlands of both sides - Hanzhong and Langzhong were open to each other, thus maintaining in this form
The so-called peace.
However, Wei Xiaokuan did not withdraw his troops quickly after that. It was not until the civil strife in the Northern Zhou Dynasty became increasingly fierce that he finally retreated. At the beginning, Li Xingchen did not have enough troops, so he withdrew obediently. After all, stabilizing order in the rear also required troops, and Li Xingchen could not stretch the battle line too far.
long.
But now as the troops of the Northern Zhou Dynasty moved north one after another, Xiao Shilian, a guy who had always been dishonest and restless, sent troops to Zitong without waiting for Li Xingchen's orders, and then began to repair the Jiameng Pass and the Chaotianmen camp on the Shu Road further north.
, and took these several gateways into Shu as their own again.
Now, as the smoke of war in the north becomes more and more intense, Xiao Shilian, who is training the new army in Jiameng Pass, naturally begins to gear up.
After several months of adjustments and training, Xiao Shilian now had more than 10,000 combatable soldiers, and the number of elite soldiers was even more than 4,000 to 5,000. Correspondingly, the strength of the Northern Zhou Dynasty troops in Hanzhong had been reduced sharply to **0,000, including
There are also many old, weak, sick and disabled, and the real elites have been transferred north.
Perhaps no one would have thought that such a disruptive change would occur in just a few months, but sometimes things are unpredictable.
In the meeting hall, a famous general was already standing upright. When he saw Xiao Shilian walking in, he raised his hands and saluted: "See you, general!"
Xiao Shilian nodded slightly. The huge map had been hung up, with the situation of the enemy and the enemy clearly marked on it. The flags symbolizing Li Xingchen's troops and the Northern Zhou army were intertwined on the sand table. Compared with the original, after so many years of training in the military, Xiao Shilian became the son of an aristocratic family.
His aura has almost dissipated, and he looks more like a battle-hardened general.
A partial general was the first to speak: "General Qi, the number of Zhou people's scouts has been maintained at the lowest level this month. Sometimes there are even no Zhou people seen for three or four days."
Xiao Shilian said calmly: "The Zhou people have too much time to take care of themselves, let alone test each other with us. What we need to do now is no longer entangled with their scouts."
Several generals suddenly looked solemn, and even their hands trembled slightly. They had been waiting for this moment for a long time. No one wanted to let such a great opportunity pass by.
He reached out and tapped on the sand table, and Xiao Shilian said loudly: "General Zhenxi has an order. From now on, we will choose the opportunity to attack!"
After a pause, Xiao Shilian then looked at the general next to him: "We want to capture Hanzhong for more than a day or two. Come over and introduce the situation."
A general in charge of information collection and scout dispatch immediately said: "There are several Zhou camps in southern Hanzhong, but these camps are now only guarded by hundreds of soldiers, so our real threat and biggest enemy is still in Hanzhong.
In the city.”
"Hanzhong City..." Xiao Shilian muttered and repeated, raised his head and said with a smile, "There is actually only Wei Xiaokuan's general Li Xun in Hanzhong City. It may be a bit more difficult, but fortunately Wei Xiaokuan only sent Li Xun
One person was transferred back, but Li Xun's troops are still in Guanzhong, so not many of the Hanzhong defenders really obeyed Li Xun's orders."
Since Wei Shou died in battle and He Lou Ziqian was captured - even if Li Xingchen sent him back later, Wei Xiaokuan did not dare to re-activate him for a while - since then, Li Xun should be Wei Xiaokuan's most capable and only assistant
.
This is why when Wei Xiaokuan withdrew his troops from Bashu, it was Li Xun who led the army to the rear. Later, when he was ordered to support Guanzhong, it was Li Xun who was the first to lead his army out of Yangping Pass and go north.
For this reason, when Wei Xiaokuan went north, Li Xun naturally returned to Hanzhong to guard Wei Xiaokuan's rear and flanks. At the same time, Li Xun's appearance also meant that Wei Xiaokuan never completely ignored the eager enemy behind him.
Li Xun, who has followed Wei Xiaokuan on the battlefield for many years, has a stable character and is good at defense, so it is not that easy to capture Hanzhong from him easily.
"In addition to Li Xun, the mighty generals of the Zhou people and the prefect of Hanzhong Niu Hong are also not ordinary people." A general couldn't help but said, but his voice soon became quieter, because several people had already
The guy who could no longer hold himself back was looking at him dissatisfied.
At such a critical moment, it can be said that the arrow is on the string, and it has to be fired. No matter whether the enemy is powerful or not, he should rush directly upward. If this guy talks like this at this time, isn't it adding to other people's ambitions and destroying his own prestige?
"Niu Hong?" Xiao Shilian considered the name and thought of the conversation he had with Yang Su's younger brother Yang Yue in the study not long ago.
If everything is really arranged according to Yang Su's arrangement, then Niu Hong is Xiao Shilian's help rather than resistance.
I just hope that Yang Su’s arrangements are all in order... I also hope that this guy will keep his word.
But in any case, not every step of the war is sure-footed. Sometimes gambling is necessary. If there is a high chance that Hanzhong can be won, then Xiao Shilian is willing to make this bet. After all, Xiao Shilian is flowing through his body.
Maha's blood.
"Whether it's Niu Hong or Li Xun, since you can stand in this position, you must be superior. We must not underestimate the enemy, but we must not shrink back," Xiao Shilian said coldly, "Generals, listen to the order!"
The generals below all shuddered and promised at the same time: "The general will be here!"
"Start today to prepare for mobilization of troops and horses, and prepare food and grass for more than three months. At the same time, send scouts to the direction of Hanzhong," Xiao Shilian said loudly, "These must be prepared before noon tomorrow. At noon tomorrow, the army will leave Jiameng Pass and enter Shu.
Way, go to Hanzhong!"
After a pause, Xiao Shilian's eyes fell on a general: "Tangzhong, how dare you be the vanguard?!"
"The last general takes orders!" Tang Zhong immediately stood up and agreed. He was the head of the Tang family in Zhongkai County, Xiajiang Tang family, but he was also a martial arts practitioner and a general with experience in battlefield fighting. Once upon a time, he needed to fight for a
The small family is struggling for its survival, and now he needs to take responsibility for the progress of the entire group.
Compared to the former, Tang Zhong preferred the latter.
Perhaps in this troubled world, every seven-foot-old man has the dream of helping the world.
Today, they are preparing to set off from Bashu to trample thousands of miles of mountains and rivers under their feet to turn this dream into reality.
