It can be seen that Cao Shuang is not useless in military affairs, from Luoyang to Chang'an to Luogu, Cao Shuang only took a few days, he knows the truth of the speed of soldiers, so under the premise that Xiahou Xuan has completed all the preliminary preparations, as soon as he entered the pass, he launched an attack, trying to catch Shu by surprise.

The first month of the pass is still a cold spring, the ice on the Wei River has not completely melted, this season, obviously not suitable for the season of combat, especially into the depths of the Qinling Mountains, the mountains are steep, the cold is thicker, the kind of cold wind blowing between the valleys, like a knife cut, seems to tear the life apart.

But it is precisely because of this that it will give the Shu people an illusion, making them think that it is not yet the time for the Wei army to attack, and they will neglect to take precautions.

The Wei army had been preparing for war all winter, and it was almost difficult to hide from the pervasive Shu State in this situation, so the news of Wei's attempt to launch an attack must have already reached Shu State, and Shu State would inevitably take corresponding defensive measures.

But the crux of the matter is when the Wei army will attack, and before the exact time, there must be blind spots in Shu's defense.

Although Xiahouba's blockade of several major valley roads can not completely isolate the transmission of news, it will definitely have a sluggish effect, and the unexpected action of the Wei army will also disrupt the rhythm of the Shu army's meticulous work, I am afraid that before they can pass the news to Hanzhong, the Wei army has already killed the Fu Valley and won the momentum.

Cao Shuang's task to the vanguard Guo Huai and Xiahou Ba was to get out of Luogu Road within ten days, and if there was any delay, military law would punish them.

Ten days to walk four or five hundred miles, it seems to be very simple, but the mountain road is completely different from Pingchuan, especially this kind of terrain, rugged and bumpy Qinling Valley Road, ten days is really tight, Guo Huai and Xiahou Ba did not dare to have any delay, led the army into Luogu, to the south.

The rest of the armies, one after another, marched in a roundabout way, and the 150,000-strong army formed a long dragon that stretched for dozens of miles, winding between the lofty mountains and mountains.

Cao Liang was acting with the Chinese army, just at the rear end of the two vanguard armies, this attack on Shu, the number of cavalry mobilized by the Wei army accounted for not too large a proportion, and the cavalry team of the Yue cavalry battalion was very eye-catching in the entire Wei army brigade.

Cao Liang also knew that this kind of mountain warfare, the role of cavalry is relatively limited, if the Wei army uses cavalry on a large scale, it will be inconvenient to move because of the terrain, so this attack on Shu, the proportion of infantry has reached more than ninety, which is extremely rare in the previous Wei army's combat configuration.

The normal cavalry configuration of the Wei army is generally three to seven, with cavalry occupying three percent and infantry occupying seventy percent, and when fighting in the plains, this ratio will even be increased to five or five, and the cavalry accounts for half of the total strength, and the cavalry becomes the main force on the battlefield.

At this time, the 19th configuration completely reduced the cavalry to the position of auxiliary troops, and even in some battles, the cavalry did not even have the qualification to assist, so they could only watch from the wall.

This is the first time in Cao Liang's life to set foot on the Qinling Ancient Road, although the Luoyang to Chang'an Hangu Road can also be called dangerous, but compared with the majestic Qinling, it is completely insignificant.

The majesty and grandeur of the Qinling Mountains are completely exhausted by Li Bai's song "Shu Dao Difficulty":

"Oh, it's dangerous! The difficulty of Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky!

Silkworms and fish, how dazed is the founding of the country!

He is 48,000 years old, and he is not populated with Qinsai.

There is a bird road in Xidang Taibai, which can cross the top of Emei.

The earth collapsed and the mountain destroyed the strong man to death, and then the ladder stone stacks were hooked together.

There is a high standard of six dragons returning to the sun, and there is a return to the river with a wave and a reversal.

The flight of the yellow crane is not yet passable, and the ape wants to spend his sorrow and climb.

The green mud is a panpan, and a hundred steps and nine folds linger on the rocks.

He sat on his back and sighed with his hands.

Q: When will you return to the West? The road is daunting and the rock is unclimbable.

But when I saw the ancient trees of the Sad Bird, the male and the female flew around the forest.

I also heard Zigui crying the night moon, and I was sad about the empty mountain.

The difficulty of Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky, so that people listen to this withered face!

Even the peaks go to the sky and do not exceed the feet, and the dead pines hang upside down against the cliffs.

The flying turbulent waterfall is noisy, and the cliff turns to the stone and thunder.

The same is true of the danger, and the people who have come from afar are not here!

The Sword Pavilion is majestic and Cui Wei, one husband is the pass, and ten thousand people are not open.

Guards or bandits, turned into wolves and jackals.

Avoid tigers in the morning and long snakes in the evening; Grinding teeth and sucking blood, killing people like numbness.

Although Jincheng is cloudy, it is better to return home early.

The difficulty of Shu Road, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, and look sideways to the west! ”

Cao Liang, who could memorize this poem "The Difficulty of Shu Dao" before, was in the environment of the poem at this moment, and was completely conquered by the majesty and wonder of nature.

The difficulty of Shu Road, it is indeed difficult to go to the blue sky, and the lone lightly armed passenger brigade is still so, not to mention hundreds of thousands of well-equipped troops, there are many places on Luogu Road that are carved out of the plank road on the cliff, the ladder stone stack is connected with each other, the kind of stone stack that winds up the mountain is a cliff with thousands of walls on one side, and a bottomless cliff on the other, just stepping on it will make people's legs and stomachs tremble, and they can't stand steadily, let alone pass quickly.

At this moment, the plank road is also covered with a thick layer of ice and snow, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of the road, and some soldiers are not paying attention to it, and the foot slips, and they fall directly into the abyss.

The terrible screams before the death reverberated through the hollows, making people's scalps tingle.

At night, the bone-chilling wind is whistling, like a knife cut, the Qinling Mountains are extremely high, even in the summer when camping on the top of the mountain, you can see the ice, not to mention the early spring now, even colder than the number nine cold days in the plains, although the Wei army adopted cold protection measures, but at night, it is still freezing people shivering, it is comparable to the cold wind blowing out of hell, and even many soldiers will be frozen overnight.

Along the way, the attrition of the Wei army was quite serious, those who fell off the cliff, those who froze to death in the cold wind, and those who died of wind and cold abounded in the camps.

Along the way, you can see many mules and horses lying dead on the side of the road, and there are many corpses waiting to be buried, which makes people's hearts chill and inexplicably frightened.

Many people's hearts are extremely heavy, and the road ahead is boundless, maybe the next one to fall is themselves, and it is really difficult to get out of this mountain.

However, no matter how difficult it is, it seems that it cannot stop the determination of the Wei army to advance, and in the midst of strong winds and blizzards, Cao Wei's banner has always stood tall.
