Western Hanzhong.

Chuyang.

"Soldiers, if you work hard, it will be almost completed, as long as this defense line can be built, then my Hanzhong will be as solid as a rock."

"Speed, speed."

At this time, a middle-aged strong man wearing strong armor, a body of about eight feet, a face like a heavy date, and a long beard fluttering was holding a horsewhip in one hand, and strode behind the frantically busy sergeant with a serious face, shouting loudly.

"Up, up."

"The general has been waiting for me to come to the front line to inspect me, and the brothers continue to speed up their work, how can we wait for the big man to fall into the general's prestige."

At this moment, the officers who were in charge saw the arrival of the main general, and they also strongly encouraged the soldiers of the headquarters.

Just a short effort.

The efficiency of the Han army was suddenly several notches faster than before.

That's the charm of this general.

Just patrolled and walked by, and a light sentence made the soldiers speed up in full swing and work tirelessly.

Slowly, the middle-aged lord slowly patrolled, his eyes also looking in all directions, looking at the mountains and the steep and cliff-filled paths on both sides.

At a glance, I saw that the soldiers of various departments were entering the dense forest in an orderly manner, cutting down trees, and then carrying them to the side of the mountain to hand them over to the soldiers who were building defense lines and barracks.

At this moment, several camps are also slightly rudimentary, and they are even more staggered with each other, and a line of defense is arranged in front of each dangerous road, and all parties cooperate extremely tightly!

The Han River runs across the territory of Chuyang, dividing the Dingjun Mountain to the south of the Han River, and to the north is directly facing the Keigu Trail, as long as favorable defensive measures are set up here, it can effectively defend against the Cao army that sneaks south from the Qinling Mountains over the East Wolf Valley.

Defending this Nangukou will allow the Han army to hold the flank of Yangping Pass safely, and it can also protect the whole county of Hanzhong from the risk of being harassed.

Due to the unique topography of Chuyang, it was cut off by the Han water lazy waist.

This has led to the isolation of this place.

It has almost become an indispensable war in the battle for Hanzhong.

In the battle of Hanshui, Liu Bei sent Zhao Yun to lead the people to cross the Hanshui and seize Chuyang, which not only cut off the grain route of the Cao army, but also captured the back road of the Cao army's retreat to Guanzhong.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao no longer has the intention of continuing to confront Liu Bei in Yangping Pass, so he has to retreat to Guanzhong with hatred and give up the land of Hanzhong!

The reverse is the same path.

If Cao's army crosses the Qinling Mountains and attacks from the East Wolf Valley to seize Chuyang, then the defense of Yangping Pass will be wiped out and will be self-defeating!

Because of the seizure of Chuyang, the large Hanzhong Plain such as the Baili Hanshui, Dingjun Mountain, Tiandang Mountain, and the county town of Nanzheng will all be exposed to Cao Jun's eyes.

This is also the key to the key to Yu Weiyang's large-scale construction of canine-toothed barracks at the mouth of the Nangu outside the Kei Valley after Wei Yan led Hanzhong.

As long as the fortifications outside the Nangukou are strong, then the sun will be as stable as Mount Tai!

The main general who had previously patrolled with a horse whip was also Wei Yan and Wei Wenchang, who were named Zhenyuan generals and Hanzhong Taishou.

It has been nearly a year since he was in charge of Hanzhong.

In this year, the Xiegu Road and Chencang Road in Yangping Pass have built a complete defense system, but the relatively special terrain of Chuyang is still being established.

……

At this time, more than a dozen guards behind Wei Yan followed, slowly inspecting the sergeants from all walks of life, sometimes showing a joyful smile on their faces, and sometimes their eyes flying.

"As long as this defense system is completed, then Hanzhong will be as solid as a rock!"

"Once Cao's army comes to attack, I will definitely be able to take advantage of the geographical advantage to break his army."

For a moment, Wei Yan was overjoyed in his heart and groaned secretly.

Then he said: "When the lord ordered me to lead Hanzhong, I had made a military order at that time, and the enemy army came to annihilate it!" ”

After half a ring, he pondered again.

Once, Wei Yan put down his arrogance, if Cao Cao personally raised a large army to attack, he would lead the crowd to resist it, and if it was a partial general attack, he would annex it!

This is also the reason why he attaches great importance to the defense of Hanzhong.

After all, between Guanzhong and Hanzhong, there are only 800 miles of Qinling Mountains.

Wei Yan and his entourage continued to march on the trail, inspecting for most of the hour, taking in all the defenses.

Immediately, Wei Yancai nodded frequently, quite satisfied.

But at this moment, there were several speeds in the direction of Nanzheng.

A moment later.

Several scouts with dusty faces quickly rushed to Wei Yan's side and bowed.

Seeing this, Wei Yan's face was slightly gloomy, his eyes were slightly open, and he said sharply: "What's wrong?" ”

"So flustered?"

As soon as the words fell, the military man who looked like a scout captain couldn't help but raise his hand and shouted: "General Wei, something is wrong!" ”

"The villains followed the general's instructions to deploy defenses outside Yangping Pass and spy on Cao's movements, but this morning, we found a major matter."

Speaking of this, the scout captain's face became more and more tight, as if he didn't even dare to take a breath, and said eagerly: "The Xiqiang King of the Xiqiang Kingdom, Cheriji, has all the troops in the country and personally launched more than ten thousand people to attack the land of my Hanzhong!" ”

"Now the Xiqiang general Yue Ji has led the front into Wudu and other places, burning and looting all the way, the momentum can be described as overwhelming, and now it is gradually approaching my Hanzhong."

"What?"

With the scout's announcement, Wei Yan, who has always been determined to be strong, couldn't help but look startled, suddenly roared, and then said: "Qiang people are about our army? ”

"What's going on, have you ever investigated it?"

Hearing this, several scouts looked at each other and looked at each other.

Obviously, they haven't figured it out yet.

"Hurry back to Nanzheng."

Immediately after, Wei Yan was also resolute in doing things, and shouted bluntly.

Immediately, he should lead his guards to march south to Zhengxing.

At this moment, he vaguely felt in his chest that something really was going to happen this time!

The Qiang people actually attacked the whole country and attacked their own side?

What does this mean?

This is no accident.

Only when Cao Jun made up his mind that he wanted to take the opportunity to attack Shu would he win over Qianghu Dazhuang and take the opportunity to attack Shu together.

It was also based on this that after Wei Yan heard the news of the Qiang attack, he was anxious and quickly rushed to Nanzheng.

In his eyes, he didn't take Cao Jun seriously.

On the contrary, it is tens of thousands of Qianghu pawns that are the focus of his attention.

"General Xiahou Nan of Anxi, this person is just a gentleman, relying on the shadow of his father's generation to obtain a high position as a horse."

"This son is not a cause for concern!"

Running wildly all the way, Wei Yan also pondered anxiously in his heart: "On the contrary, the combat power of the Qiang people should not be underestimated!" ”

"I heard that in the past few years, since the Qiang King Cheriji has been attached to the Cao army, he has used his momentum to conquer various places again and again, and swept all directions with a strong combat power and full morale of the iron chariot soldiers under his command, so that the small and medium-sized Qianghu tribes around him could not resist again and again, so they had to rely on the Xiqiang State."

"That's tricky......"

The idea fell, and Wei Yan was also thoughtful.

He wondered, what should he do?

Qianghu's combat power is extraordinary!

Now that it is attacking with the strength of the whole country, how to resist it?

Thinking of this, Wei Yan's mind couldn't help but surge more and more, and he stroked the back of his head with his hand and rubbed it gently.

After an hour or two in a row, they finally returned to Nanzheng City.

After arriving in Nanzheng, Wei Yan did not slack off at all, and immediately convened the generals to discuss the military situation in the county government.

While the military situation was going on, several scouts also traveled in groups, galloping south first!
