The difficulty of Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky!

From Shu County to Hanzhong, it has always been a difficult journey, especially out of Zitong County (Zitong, Sichuan), walking between Dajian Mountain and Xiaojian Mountain, the two mountains are closely connected, east of Jialing River, west of Wuzhi Mountain, stretching for more than 100 miles.

The north side is full of thousands of cliffs, such as knives and axes; In the south, there are many mountain peaks, and there are almost no roads, so you can only dig holes in the mountains and build plank roads to cross the mountains.

This road is called "Stone Ox Road", according to legend, the Warring States Qin Huiwen King wants to cut down Shu, because of the mountain road is dangerous, pretending to be five stone oxen, words can gold, to bully the king of Shu, the king of Shu ordered Wuding to open the road to lead it, the Qin army then destroyed Shu, it is for "the earth collapses the mountain to destroy the strong man to die, and then the ladder stone stack hooks together".

Such a steep road, a walk is more than 100 miles, after passing the two sword mountains, there is a dangerous pass in front of the cliff between the cliffs, the name of the pass is "Jia Meng" (Zhaohua District, Guangyuan City).

More than 100 years ago, the king of Shu of the enlightened clan sealed his younger brother here, called the Marquis of Tho, and the fate of the city was called Jiameng. But Hou Hou is a man who eats inside and outside, he is a Shu person, but he is good with the king of Ba, and Ba is enmity with Shu, so the king of Shu is angry and cuts down Tho. Hou Pemba and asked for help from Qin, and Qin sent Zhang Yi to attack Shu.

Qin has long sharpened the knife and is very strong, this time can lead the wolf into the room, and so after the destruction of Bashu Tho, Jia Meng was assigned to Shu County at first, but after more than ten years, Shu has two rebellions in a row, Qin is no longer at ease with this place, in addition to canceling the feudal marquis, Jia Meng is also assigned to Hanzhong.

As long as the Hanzhong soldiers hold the traffic arteries into Shu, even if Shu County repeats, Xianyang can easily send troops to pacify.

In September of the 37th year of Qin Shi Huang, when Jianghan and Guandong Bazhong were in turmoil, Jia Meng was as calm as usual, although the defenders were only 500, but there were tens of thousands less, and they did not want to attack this place.

On this day in mid-September, a team slowly walked towards Jiameng from the Jianshan plank road, numbering thousands, under the banner of the Qin army, stopped before closing the door and shouted loudly:

"It's His Majesty's envoy, returning to Xianyang from Chengdu, this is the Fu Festival!"

The defenders were cautious, the runes were hung up in the baskets, and the five hundred lords who were ordered to guard the place checked that the runes were correct, and then glanced at the messenger holding the runes, it was indeed the one who went south half a month ago.

He only didn't notice that the Xianyang envoy's face was sweaty, and he was held on his back with a dagger, and the Shujun soldiers who escorted the envoy were all a little nervous and couldn't stop spitting.

The five hundred lords were about to open the door, but they asked more questions.

"Honorable envoy, there are only 100 people who have gone south, why are there so many people when they return?"

The sharp blade behind him pressed against the skin again, and the messenger had no choice but to reprimand loudly: "This is a secret of the imperial court, how can you and other officials ask nonsense?" ”

The five hundred lords stuck out their tongues, and when they saw that Shu County's military talisman book was correct, they nodded to their subordinates.

Jia Meng's gate slowly opened, and the soldiers of Shu County rushed in, and after he entered, the pass slowly closed again......

That night, Qianshou, who lived nearby, found that a fierce battle had broken out in Jiameng Pass, accompanied by firelight and bursts of screams.

When the morning dawned, when Jiameng County in the north heard the news and sent people to check, they found that the head of Jiameng Pass was full of Shu soldiers and there were more flags.

"Northern Expedition...... Difficult? ”

The county lieutenant was shocked and immediately returned to the horse.

"Quick, go and inform the county order, inform the county guard, Shu County, betrayal!"

……

Jiangzhou County, the seat of Ba County, is a long and narrow peninsula, sandwiched by the Yangtze River and the Jialing River, and it was called "Yuzhong District" in later generations, and Jiangzhou County is just a small piece near the Liberation Monument of the mountain city.

Feng Zai stood at the head of the city and looked out, and could see that in front of the Chaotianmen Wharf in the later generations, it had been obscured by the shadow of the sail - it was the fleet of the rebels, led by Zhao Tuo and Wu Chen, who had been dragged up the river by the Ba people, and the troops were in Jiangzhou County!

But Feng Zheng is not worried, Jiangzhou County is a mountain city, high on the top of the mountain, and there are two rivers as a barrier, easy to defend and difficult to attack, not to mention, the number of enemy troops is almost the same as his own, and the flow of water is also beneficial to the officers and soldiers.

"Set fire to the boat!"

The order was laid, and when it was laden with vegetation, the ignited ships were lowered from the docks, and they went down the river to the enemy ships. The enemy ships could only avoid left and right in a panic, or desperately stopped them with wooden rejections, but many of the warships still came into contact with the fire boats, and the rebels on board jumped into the water in a hurry.

"Hahaha."

Feng Zheng likes to enjoy this scene very much, this is the first time the rebels have attacked, and each time it has been in vain.

The topography of Ba County determines that the defensive side always has the advantage, Feng Zheng's temperament, many years ago because the lone army was besieged by the Xiongnu Shan Yu in Baiyang Mountain, has been polished, he decided to wait for work, exhaust the rebels' spirit, defeat them in Jiangzhou County, and then slow down the eastward advance.

He has the confidence to drag it out, the rebels are running out of food, otherwise they wouldn't have come to storm Jiangzhou in such a hurry, but Feng Zheng has been receiving a steady stream of food from Shu County......

Coincidentally, after repelling the rebel attack, the grain in September was also transported from Ruocheng (Guanghan, Sichuan) to Jiangzhou County.

"General, Su 50,000 stones, 5,000 soldiers, has arrived in the west of the city, Shu soldiers please send someone over to receive!"

Feng Zai sneered: "Oh, Chang Qi has finally pacified the Qiang barbarians in the county, and is he willing to send more soldiers to help me?" ”

In fact, if it weren't for the lack of soldiers, Feng Zao didn't like Shu Jun, because Shu County was the end point of all exiled prisoners before Daqin obtained Saibei, Hexi, and Lingnan, such as Lü Buwei's family and Chang Yumenke, and more than 4,000 people who committed serious crimes seized the title and moved to Shu.

In short, the Qin people in Shu are basically the descendants of prisoners, and their loyalty to Great Qin is not much higher than that of the Six Kingdoms.

In addition, Chang Zhen has guarded Shu for more than ten years, and the military and political power in the county has been in one hand, and the county lieutenant has been emptied, and the Shu people are obedient to him, and the current situation is unfavorable to Xianyang, so it is necessary to guard against it.

Therefore, Feng Zheng did not let them enter the city, but handed over grain and grass in the west of the city......

But he still couldn't prevent it, and after a few hours, he was waiting for not a cart full of corn, but a shocking news!

"General, the 3,000 people who went to receive grain were attacked in the Shu camp, and the Shu soldiers also attacked the military camp in the west of the city!"

Feng Zheng was shocked when he heard the news, and rushed to the west gate to take a look, and the camp in the west of the city had become a battlefield, no, a slaughterhouse.

The flames rising from the camp tent reached into the air, and there were swords and swords everywhere, and he saw that the Shu soldiers who had been prepared for a long time were chasing and killing his unprepared subordinates, and there was a steady stream of Shu soldiers appearing behind him, all wrapped in white cloths, wanting to snatch the west gate of Jiangzhou.

"Chang Lao Er, he betrayed the Son of Heaven and took refuge in the black thief!"

Feng Zai gritted his teeth and said loudly:

"Get out of the city, fight the thief!"

There were not many Shu soldiers, and they had to be repelled immediately, Feng Zheng made a judgment, but just as he was about to transfer his soldiers to the west, the scout who was in charge of waiting at the dock told him another bad news:

"General, the rebel ships are here again!"

……

"Okay, what a Lu Jia!"

In late September, the battle situation was at a stalemate on the front line of Hanshui, in Yancheng, relying on the continuous support of soldiers and food from Xiao He in Jiangling, and in the case of inferior troops, Heifu, who had been fighting with Wang Ben for three months, finally received good news from Bashu!

Everything in Lu Jiaxin's letter can make Heifu happy to eat a bowl of rice.

Shu County Shou Chang was moved by Lu Jia to say that he was willing to join the Northern Expeditionary Army, and had sent people to capture Jia Meng and retreat to reject the division of Hanzhong.

On the Ba County side, although relying on the defection of the Shu County soldiers, Zhao Tuo and Wu Chen failed to completely eliminate Feng Zheng, and only besieged him in the square inch of the Jiangzhou County Peninsula, but it was a great victory!

Heifu couldn't help but praise: "Who said that reading people is useless in troubled times? Lu Jia with the body of Confucianism, the soldiers who do not hold the size, the grain of the fight, as soon as it comes out, it will break the momentum, save the ba, chaos Shu, within a month, the two counties have changed! Zhang Yi and Su Qin of Zhenwu! ”

Although the Northern Expeditionary Army was beaten badly in the front, the casualties have soared to thousands, and Handong was also in a mess, and the county was almost beaten down several times, and Wang Benjun's chariot and cavalry even swam across the Han River, appeared near Jiangling, and burned many houses in Lulu......

But in the corners, Heifu undoubtedly achieved a huge victory, not only the situation in Bashu was completely reversed, I heard that Han Xinbu had also penetrated deeply into the enemy's rear, fought many victories in Runan and Yingchuan, and cut off the lifeblood of Wang Ben's army!

Hefu loses tactics and admits that he is inferior to others.

But strategically, it was he who won!

Now that he has received the news from his side, Wang Ben's place must have been known.

Sure enough, just after leaving the camp, Yuan Yong immediately came to see him and reported:

"Marshal, Wang Ben is retreating!"
