The brute soldiers who live on Daba Mountain, their advantage lies in the strength of their feet, crossing mountains and mountains, such as walking on flat ground, in their bow and arrow skills.

Farming in spring and summer, hunting in autumn and winter.

Almost every man is a good hunter.

But the disadvantages are also obvious. Their weapons were not very good, and their armor consisted only of fur clothes and crude spears. Even bows, arrows, arrows, and even bones are made.

And Sun Xiu of Yizhou County also has strong foot strength, archery skills are very accurate, and they have the advantages of good leather armor and weapons.

Sun Xiu caught up confidently.

But one side chases, the other side runs, and that's the problem. Yang Sheng had already considered this situation, and he led his men and horses to run a few mountains and came to a path between two mountains.

On the side of the path, there is a stream.

Yang Sheng led the crowd to run past here, and Sun Xiu chased after him. As soon as Yang Sheng's department passed, on the mountains on both sides of the path, many soldiers and barbarians appeared, and they held bows and arrows and shot at Sun Xiu's pursuing troops.

At the same time, Yang Sheng's men and horses who fled in front of him, under the leadership of Yang Sheng, turned back and fought for a while. Sun Xiu couldn't resist and fled with his troops.

Yang Sheng had just set up a small ambush, but he didn't dare to pursue, but led his troops to flee. Sun Xiu fled back to the original road, and after a while, he counted hundreds of people.

He was also discouraged.

These guys.

.............

A month later.

There is a large valley on Yonekura Road near the avenue, called Liumi Valley. Zhang Ren led 40,000 elite soldiers and set up camp in this valley.

Zhang Ren has been camped here for three days, and he has not moved. Because of the Yan Yan in front, Wu Ban's men and horses are constantly being attacked, and the plank road in front is seriously damaged, this part of the plank road is very long, five or six hundred meters. Yan Yan is currently tinkering with the plank road.

And Zhang Ren set up camp here, but even half of the Micang Road did not pass, and under normal circumstances, even if it was an army of 80,000, if it did not rain, it would take twenty days at most, and the Micang Road would be completed.

One can imagine what a blow Guan Ping's guerrilla tactics dealt to Zhang Ren. What's even more terrifying is that as the Bashu army penetrates into Micang Road, the news that the seven barbarian kings surnamed Daba Mountain, as well as the men and horses under their command and the people, have all been annexed by Guanping has also spread.

And Zhang Ren originally planned to deal with these barbarian kings first, first send troops to the barbarian king's cottage, make a gesture, or really attack, and force the barbarian king to stop interfering in this matter.

Isolate Guan Ping.

This is very likely to be realized, because the Bashu army is full of 80,000 and can be divided into troops. But Guan Ping eliminated the barbarian kings first, and even destroyed the cottage, and migrated to Hanzhong.

Now the barbarians are following Guan Ping.

To find the tens of thousands of horses and horses that are divided into countless parts is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

Inside the camp.

Although the soldiers were on higher alert, their morale was not high. But it was not only intercepted and killed for days, but also attacked at night. Guan Ping's subordinates suddenly bluffed, and suddenly really attacked.

In such a month, of course, the morale of ordinary soldiers was low.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhang Ren and Huang Quan sat down across a desk, with wine and food on the desk, and the two drank together.

At this moment, the wine glass was empty, Zhang Ren picked up the wine jar and filled it with Huang Quan. Zhang Ren picked up the chopsticks in his right hand, intending to pick up a piece of meat to eat, but put it down again, and sighed: "I can't figure it out." How could those barbarian kings be so pro-lead and send troops to join Guan Ping, and Guan Ping easily captured the army. So much so that at this moment, all the barbarians migrated to Hanzhong, Guan Ping threatened his family, and the barbarians were used by him. ”

Zhang Ren not only sighed, but also resented.

Zhang Ren has no reason not to complain.

But it is said that these barbarian kings on Daba Mountain have always been extremely greedy and cunning. During the reign of Liu Yan, he submitted to Liu Yan.

During the reign of Liu Zhang, the barbarian king also surrendered to Liu Zhang, quite obedient, and later Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang turned against each other, and the two sides attacked year after year, and the barbarian kings fell to Zhang Lu and helped Zhang Lu cut off the rice cang road, so that Zhang Lu's army could go south at any time, and Liu Zhang could only defend passively.

If it weren't for that, Liu Zhang's situation wouldn't be so sinister.

But these barbarian kings, who were extremely shrewd to Liu Zhang, were in front of Guan Ping, as if they were fools, and Guan Ping asked them to come.

When Guan Ping caught them, he also caught them.

This.

Is your shrewdness only for us?

Huang Quan also sighed when he heard this, but he was calmer and said, "But it's no wonder that those barbarian kings, we 80,000 elite soldiers came to Bazhong. Guan Ping is short of troops, and he needs to unite with the barbarian kings to stop us. We also thought so before, and the barbarian kings must also think so, so the barbarian kings fell for Guan Ping and sent themselves and troops. ”

"I'm afraid Guan Ping didn't have a temporary idea, but he had such a plan for a long time. Take the rice cang road into your own hands, instead of being exploited and threatened by the barbarian kings. ”

Of course, Zhang Ren also knows this truth, he is just a little resentful.

Now it's drunken whining.

"Huang Zhushu. I heard that Guan Ping recruited 20,000 people in Hanzhong, and if these people step up their training, they will also become a good combat force. He annexed the barbarians. Now they don't confront us head-on on the rice barn road, but only cut off our grain routes, and adopt the strategy of exhausting the enemy. Even if we walk this rice warehouse road for another two months, we won't be able to get by. And now it's the beginning of the year, and in two months it will be spring and summer, if the summer rain continues. If the grain cannot be delivered, our 80,000 elite soldiers may collapse in one fell swoop. At that time, it was really a big deal. ”

Zhang Ren sighed, then stood up and walked to the door of the tent, turned around and said: "It's not that I, Zhang Ren, am greedy for life and afraid of death, but this thief is really cunning." Even if Guan Ping pulls out an army of 80,000, I am not afraid of a big battle between our two sides. ”

"I understand the general's intentions. I also know that I can't do anything. But if you retire now, what should you do in the future? Huang Quan asked.

"After returning to Bazhong, I can only strengthen the city wall and make more arrangements. Pile up all your forces in Bazhong to resist Guan Ping. Zhang Ren said.

"It's not a long-term solution, and if you keep it for a long time, you will lose." Huang Quan said categorically.

"Hey." Zhang Ren sighed again, this loyal and brave general was really uncomfortable. There are 80,000 elite soldiers, 80,000 elite soldiers.

The pinnacle of life.

I, Zhang Ren, was given the important task of commanding 80,000 elite soldiers, and if this force entered Hanzhong, it would be able to run rampant. Even in the Central Plains, 80,000 elite soldiers were assembled, which was a powerful force.

But you can't beat the terrain.

Cunning, cunning Guan Ping.

Huang Quan was silent for a moment, and then said, "General." I thought about it for a while, Guan Pingfen's army attacked from all sides, and there must be a place to store grain on this rice warehouse road, otherwise it would not last. If he could know where Guan Ping's grain was stored and seized in battle, Guan Ping would no longer be able to act aggressively, and would inevitably send troops to retreat to Hanzhong. ”

"What Master Huang said is very true, but he is looking for a needle in a haystack." Zhang Ren said this, and suddenly realized: "We can catch the other party's soldiers and torture them." ”

Poor Zhang Ren and Guan Ping have been circling in the mountains for more than a month, and the loss of personnel is very small, and the loss of baggage is actually not much, just annoyance and fatigue.

didn't even capture a single soldier under Guan Ping's command alive.

"Pass the order, be sure to let the generals capture one, and capture one of the opposing side's soldiers alive at any cost." Zhang Ren immediately walked out of the big tent and said to a pro-soldier.

"No." The soldier said yes and went down at once.

A day later.

Yan Yan's front army, Yan Yan finally repaired the plank road destroyed by Guan Ping's army.

Repairing the plank road is really an extremely hard errand. On these hundreds of miles of rice barn road, there are at least more than ten places connected by plank roads.

After repairing the plank road, it is also necessary to send people to garrison it, so as not to be destroyed by the Guan Ping army, lose the grain route, and retreat. Therefore, in fact, at present, there are 80,000 elite soldiers in Bashu, and many of them have been scattered.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion from the people behind Yan Yan. Yan Yan could think with his toes that it was a small army attacked by Guan Ping again.

"Tighten your guard, and the soldiers will follow me. Let me take a look. Yan Yan ordered the soldiers to strengthen their vigilance, and then brought a soldier who was waiting for the army to go to the rescue, and also wanted to catch a few soldiers under Guan Ping's command and ask where the other party's food was hidden.

When Yan Yan arrived, he was very surprised, because the soldier under his command really caught one of the other party's soldiers, and judging from his appearance, he should be a Han man.

"The general spares his life." The captured Guan Ping soldier was extremely frightened, but after seeing Yan Yan, he kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Even if it is the twenty-two soldiers in Guan Ping's headquarters, only eight or nine thousand are Xinye and Fangling people, and the rest are Hanzhong people.

Yan Yan was simply overjoyed when he saw this soldier, how could he kill him? Yan Yan took a deep breath and said as pleasantly as possible, "I'll ask you a question." If you answer truthfully, not only will I not kill you, but I will also give you ten gold, so that you can go to Shu to enjoy the wealth, how about it? ”

The Guan Ping sergeant breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Please also ask the general to ask." ”

"Where is Guan Ping's grain tuning?" Yan Yan asked.

"So that the general knows that Guan Yangwu is wrong, there are five places in Guan Ping's grain store, hidden in the mountains. The villain knows one place, which is the Pingtou Valley outside the fifty-mile mountain road. ”

The soldier hurriedly replied.

Yan Yan frowned, if this other party's grain storage place is in one place, it will be easy to do, send troops to attack. But now there are a total of five places where the other party stores grain, and even if one is eliminated, there are still four.

It simply doesn't make sense.

But Yan Yan still decided to kill one of the other party's grain storage land, without him, it would be a bad breath.

"Map." Yan Yan shouted, and the accompanying officials hurriedly ran over and took out a map, from which Yan Yan found a place called Pingtou Valley, which was indeed a fifty-mile mountain road.

"I led 8,000 elite soldiers to the Pingtou Valley. Send someone to report to General Zhang and ask him to lead troops to respond. Leave 2,000 elite soldiers behind to take care of the baggage. Yan Yan turned over and said.

"No." Some soldiers suddenly agreed and hurriedly went to report the news. And Yan Yan led 8,000 elite soldiers to kill Pingtou Valley.
