Under the city of Fuxian.

Bloody battles are inevitable!

The offensive and defensive battles are in full swing at the moment, and fierce battles are in full swing.

Although the Han army only had more than 1,000 soldiers, they were all elite soldiers.

And because the county is built on the cliff, the left and right sides are towering peaks, only the front and back are equipped with city gates.

This invisibly also brought great difficulty to the Qiang people's siege!

……

At the moment of the Great War of Fuxian.

Hanzhong, the county governs Nanzheng.

Inside the government.

The middle-aged man with strong armor, thirty years old, is the general Wei Yan of Zhenyuan, at this moment he is kneeling in the main seat, and the generals in front of the hall are standing on both sides to listen to the head.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in the past five consecutive days, Wang Ping, the guard general of Yangping Pass, has sent three urgent letters, requesting this general to lead the main force to rush to Fu County to resist the Qiang thieves, otherwise I am afraid that the enemy army will be strong and the land outside Yangping Pass will be lost!"

Seeing that all the generals had arrived, Wei Yan was not a procrastinator, so he held several bamboo slips high in the air in an instant to signal everyone, and then said loudly.

"The prince has only more than 1,000 people under his command, and there are tens of thousands of Qiang thieves, and the general will see that our army should immediately send troops to aid Fu County, Yangping is the gateway to the central and western part of the Han Dynasty, and it is also the throat that connects to Chuyang."

"This place must not be lost, otherwise I will be in danger in Hanzhong!"

Slowly looking at the contents of the bamboo slip, a young man about twenty-five years old on the left side of the stairs, seven feet five long, with a square face, slowly arched his hand after a moment of silence.

This general is named Gao Xiang, and he is currently a general under Wei Yan.

During the Hanzhong War, he followed Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, to ask Cao for meritorious service.

When these words fell, the number of generals in the hall also unanimously seconded this decision.

Merely.

At this moment, Wei Yan was silent for a long time, his face changed for a while, and he frowned and said, "Aid must be helped!" ”

"It's just that Ben Jiang now thinks of another layer."

"What if the Cao army takes advantage of the Qiang thieves to invade the land of our Hanzhong and our army has no time to take care of it?"

When the words fell, the generals were suspicious, and Gao Xiang couldn't help but bow his hand and said in a deep voice: "General, where?" ”

Just a few words!

Wei Yan, the governor of Hanzhong, slowly got up, picked up steps and walked towards the huge map hanging on the screen, and when he reached the map, he stretched out his hand and pointed at it, and it fell into front of the generals.

"Meridian Valley!"

At a glance, the generals shouted in unison.

At this moment, their mental strength could not be calm.

Meridian Valley is located in the ancient veins of the Qinling Mountains of the valley road, this road is carved by nature, and later also after the construction of the local people and used for military purposes, only in this valley across the north and south of the Qinling Mountains to build a simple plank road.

And because this plank road is east of the Qinling Mountains, it directly connects Hanzhong and Chang'an, but it also leads to this road is not so secret......

At least the locals know the origin of the plank road very well.

Many people in later generations deeply sighed that Prime Minister Zhuge did not adopt Wei Yan's surprise attack strategy, otherwise Shu Han would have been revived long ago.

Truth be told, the surprise attack on Meridian Valley is a joke at all.

What is a surprise attack?

The so-called "surprise attack" is a surprise attack without the enemy knowing and unaware!

The difficulty of the Meridian Valley is left aside.

This plank road is dozens of miles south of Chang'an, to put it bluntly, it is on the corner of Chang'an City, who does not know this road among the locals?

Zhang He and Guo Huai have been in the army in Guanzhong for many years, and the Meridian Valley is a passable place in Hanzhong, so how can they not take precautions?

I'm afraid that the mouth of the valley in the Meridian Valley has long been full of Cao Jun's eyes and ears, and once Wei Yan really attacks, I am afraid that he will be captured before he leaves the valley.

Seeing the shocked faces of all the generals, Wei Yan stroked his beard and said, "Now the general is worried about the menacing Qiang army. ”

"Although the Qiang people are numerous, they are not good at attacking fortifications in the mountains, and our army can skillfully use the terrain to defend the dangerous points, so that they can resist the Qiang army with a very small number of troops."

Speaking of this, his face was hurried, and his mood was vaguely uncalm, his eyebrows furrowed, and he pondered: "But Cao Jun's battle is due to the alliance with the Qiang people, and there are Qiang pawns in front to attract attention, but they can stay out of the matter and secretly wait for the opportunity. ”

"I am only afraid that once our army is transferred to the front line of Chuyang, the hinterland of our eastern Han will be empty, and at this time, as long as the Cao army is bold enough to send troops to raid the Meridian Valley, the situation will be dangerous!"

Thinking of this, the look on Wei Yan's face became more and more worried, and he said loudly again: "Since last year, when the lord ordered Yan to serve as the governor of Hanzhong, in order to stabilize the defense line of Hanzhong, he would have built military barriers at various points on the Qinling border. ”

"At present, the Nangukou of Chuyang has been largely completed, but the huge Golden City project in terms of prosperity will not be able to be completed in a while and a half."

"If our army does not take precautions, but allows the Cao army to enter the hinterland and take the opportunity to destroy the construction of the Golden City, then our army's efforts in the past few months will be in vain, and the key is that if the Golden City is not built, then the prosperity side will always be exposed to the Cao army's front, without the slightest buffer zone."

"Of course, this is still a secondary factor, once it is ......"

Halfway through the words, Wei Yan stopped talking, his face became more and more afraid, and he said again after a long time: "But if the Cao army enters the land of Handong and gains a foothold in its place, then it can completely cut off the connection between my Hanzhong and the Shangyong counties." ”

"If the situation really develops like this, then the two generals Liu Feng and Meng Da will inevitably become a lone army, once the Cao army is attacking with all its strength at this time, the Shangyong troops may not be able to sustain and be difficult to resist!"

"Everyone, don't forget, now Xu Huang and Manzhong have tens of thousands of troops stationed in Wancheng."

As soon as these words came out, the stunned expressions of the generals just now slowly dissipated, it turned out that General Wei Yan was worried about this!

However, having said that, once Shangyong and Han cut off contact, then this place will inevitably not be able to be defended, and it is too normal to be surrounded and annihilated.

Hearing this, the general Gao Xiang also nodded frequently, smiling, obviously agreeing with all this that Wei Yan was thinking.

It's just that he was still a little puzzled, and asked: "But General, I all know the topography of the Meridian Valley, the road is steep and difficult, the plank road is only one or two meters wide on both sides, and there are cliffs and cliffs all around, and even some areas are virgin forests. ”

"It's a good thing, once the passage in the middle of it is washed away by a torrential rain, how long will it take to get out of the Meridian Valley?"

Speaking of this, Gao Xiang thought for a while and said again: "At present, this is the time of July, which is also the season of frequent rainstorms, and according to the topography of the Meridian Valley, there is no support from the grain route, and the enemy can only carry dry food with him in addition to the light army marching. ”

"But once a small amount of dry food is suddenly rainstormed, it is not enough to get out of this plank road, how can Cao Jun take such a risky strategy?"

These words can be said to be in the hearts of the generals.

Some things are not that the generals can't think through, but they don't want to think about them.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Xing Meridian Valley is betting that the other party's master will be a straw bag, and there is no defense against this!

"Nope."

"Ben Jiang thinks that Cao Jun will definitely raid Meridian Valley, and it is very likely."

Just when all the generals were a little incredulous, Wei Yan's pupils suddenly shrank, and after releasing some dangerous signals in his eyes, he also smashed his fist on the screen, and Weng said: "If you change to the rest of the Cao generals, I'm afraid it won't be enough to raid the meridian." ”

"But according to the battle reports obtained by our army, a few days ago, the Anxi general Xiahou Nan had sent troops to Chencang, but there was no Zhang He."

"Then the question is, since Zhang He is the general of Cao Ying, since he is not here, where is he now?"

"And looking at Zhang He's use of troops has always been flexible, eclectic, and good at grasping the opportunity of battle and adopting different strategies, but now that the Qiang people are attacking, our army's attention is on the Qiang thief's side, and Zhang He will inevitably start from the weak point of our army."

These words are the essence of using risk.

Wei Yan is also a risky general in his heart!

Such people often know best what they are thinking.

After thinking for a long time, General Zuo Gaoxiang couldn't help asking: "Then with the current situation, I don't know what the general is going to do?" ”
