Medium.

A plank road that stretches for more than 100 miles, on both sides are unclimbable peaks, the middle of the road is winding and twisting, the mountains and rocks protrude, and the width of the road is about hundreds of meters.

It is already extremely spacious for mountain hunters.

But if it is a marching battle, it is extremely narrow, the formation cannot be opened, and there are some points on the peaks on both sides that are very suitable for ambushes.

At this time, halfway up the mountainside on both sides, a line of defense was erected, and the rocks and rolling wood were also inexhaustible.

A member of the Han army held Changge in his hand, carried a bow and arrows, and hung a saber from his waist, waiting quietly......

After a while, the sturdy Han army scout gasped, hurriedly ran to a mountain col, and arched his hand: "Young General Qiyu, according to the general's instructions, the villains scattered the Qiang Road and the junctions of various places to investigate, and if they really found out the news, the Qiang pawns are coming!" ”

"The Qiang are coming?"

Hearing this, Guan Ping's complexion was loose, but he was still very solemn, and asked: "Qiang led the crowd to attack, how many soldiers and horses were dispatched?" ”

"General, the Qiang thieves almost did their best to dispatch, with the Qiang King Cheriji personally under the command, and the Qiang Dao only stayed behind more than 3,000 people to garrison."

As soon as these words fell, Liu Jiaxi on one side smiled and said with a smile: "It seems that Cherrigi really took the bait, and then our army took the Qiang Road, seized its war horses, and destroyed its military resources, which is bound to cause an extremely heavy blow to the arrogant Qiang people." ”

Sideways, Huang Chong's face was solemn, and he was not happy to lead the snake out of the hole, and said slowly: "The enemy is in the plan? Not really, at most it was an instant hit! ”

"Brother Chong means that Cherrigi has already planned a strategy to take Shu land?"

Guan Ping listened, his comprehension was not weak, and he asked sideways.

"Hmm...... Our army has only been in Yinping for two days, but as soon as Cherrigi heard the news, he immediately did not hesitate to come with the whole army, which has proved that Cherrigi's purpose is Shudi. ”

"In this way, it is not difficult to understand that the Qiang army is not moving, Cheriji is waiting for the opportunity, and our army has taken the jurisdiction of the Cao army, and his opportunity to enter Shu has come, and the outpost of Shu has quietly come."

"Before the war, Chong didn't expect that Cherrigi's ambition was so big, it was not enough to attack Hanzhong, and he wanted to completely destroy the forces of our army."

"From this point of view, then our army's defense plan must also be changed, otherwise I am afraid that after the loss of Yinping, the Qiang people will really enter the inland of Shudi."

Huang Chong is also worthy of being a wise man, and his reaction is also extremely alert, and he said worriedly.

"Quickly pass Deng Ai!"

When these words fell, Guan Ping's solemn face became more and more solemn, and he couldn't help shouting.

After half a sound, footsteps hurriedly sounded, and Deng Ai, who was more than eight feet long and dressed in a military uniform and holding a spear, strode over, and said in a deep voice: "Young General!" ”

"Shizai, how is the defense arrangement over there?"

"Everything has been completed, and the strong fortifications built by Ai will not be able to break through this line of defense within ten days, even if there are tens of thousands of Qiang thieves on the Zhongshan Road."

Seeing that Deng Ai was talking eloquently now, Guan Ping's face finally showed a smile full of satisfaction, full of joy.

"Hahaha!"

After a few laughs, he finally stopped.

Judging from Deng Ai's words, compared with more than a year ago, the biggest manifestation is that his self-confidence has risen, and he has gradually begun to form the ability to take charge of himself.

The generals all looked at him with some doubts, Deng Ai saw Guan Ping's eyes staring at him tightly and smiled, he was also a little confused, and said suspiciously: "Young general? ”

"Shizai, according to the report of the scouts who are responsible for spying intelligence in various places where this general has been placed, now our army's strategy has worked, and the king of Qiang, Cheriji, got the news that the Yinping lands had been attacked, and almost without hesitation, he personally commanded the army to attack along the avenue!"

"Next, the general will lead the main force along the path of the steep terrain and the mountain passes, through the Jedi such as the Sky Ridge and the Konghan Valley, and raid the Qiang Road from the flank."

"It's just that once I lead the people to leave, it will not only be peaceful and dangerous, but the northern gateway of my central Shu will also be opened, and Jiameng and Baishui will be completely exposed to the Qiang people's soldiers.

"This is undoubtedly in the battle situation, I wonder if Shizai can understand the meaning of this general?"

After the words fell, Guan Ping's face was serious, and he said in a deep voice.

However, Deng Ai is not an ordinary person, how can he not understand his meaning, so he hurriedly arched his hand and said loudly: "I hope that the young general can rest assured, Ai will definitely live up to his mission, and will definitely hold this line of defense for a long time, and try his best to let the people outside the two passes retreat into the pass, leaving no trace for the Qiang thieves." ”

"Kiyono Fortified?"

When the words fell, Liu Jia, the guard general on the side, was a little surprised, and muttered: "Is it necessary?" ”

Hearing this, Guan Ping said very solemnly: "Whether it is necessary or not, but war is not child's play, our army needs to be foolproof preparations, and no one can predict the next step until the last moment." ”

"If our army does not clear the wilderness in time, then once the middle road is broken through and all parts of Yinping are swept away, it will still be thousands of people who will suffer in the end, and it will still be the vitality of our Han Dynasty that will be lost."

"This matter has to be guarded against!"

Seki's plane was worried, as contemplative as ever.

"Good!"

"Time is pressing, the general will not delay the time, the generals will listen to the order, here with Deng Ai led more than 1,000 people to garrison in various dangerous places in the middle of the mountain, with the danger of a few days, after the strong wall is cleared, quickly lead the army and retreat into the pass to hold on."

"Remember to preserve your strength, don't fight hard!"

"No!"

After arranging Deng Ai's instructions, he continued: "Shizai is outnumbered, and it is difficult to use two hearts, on the one hand, it is difficult to resist the fierce attack of the Qiang people, and on the other hand, I am afraid that he has no intention of moving the people. ”

"Ben will think about it, this battle Chong brother, you will not follow the army, and Shi Zai will assist him to make suggestions, the wall is clear, and the rest of the generals will follow Ben to raid from the flank mountain road, do you have any objections?"

"I'm waiting for the order!"

With a roar, Guan Ping's body of about eight feet five was serious and iron-blue, and he spoke in a loud voice.

The words were very infectious, and the generals cheered as if they had not been boiling for a long time.

……

Just do it!

As soon as Guan Ping gave the order, he quietly led the army out of the village that night and marched hard to a mountain cliff.

Climb the mountain and wade across the water.

The whole journey was full of great hardships and pains.

Early the next morning.

In the Han army's military fortress, thousands of battle flags are still planted, and not only does the battalion not show the slightest flaw because of the small number of people, but it looks more close.

As Guan Ping slowly left, Deng Ai was the supreme official here, and he issued the first order: "Brother Ziran, while the Qiang thieves have not yet arrived, you should first go to the rear to mobilize the people from all walks of life to move to Guannei, right?" ”

"Okay, then Chong will leave first, be careful!"

Hearing this, after Huang Chong heard this, he solemnly persuaded Deng Ai a few words, and then left.

It was indeed time for him to go to the rear.

Migration is no small matter and should not be taken lightly!

Once the front defense line can't withstand the fierce attack of the Qiang soldiers, and the people are not cleared in time, it will definitely be the people who will suffer, and it is estimated that there will be more layers of corpses and bones in Shuzhong.

……

And just when the war in Yinping was about to start and was about to break out, the war situation on the Fuxian side had completely fallen into a stalemate.

The main force of Hanzhong has slowly arrived......
