Ma, Yan Yan and his entourage, with Yang Huai and Gao Pei, entered Baishui Pass and boarded the pass. Ma Ji looked into the distance and carefully looked at the terrain around Baishui Pass.

In the eye, but see, the east side of Baishui Pass is close to the Western Han River; The west side is bordered by the Daba Mountain branch; The mountain road in the north is very narrow, and it can lead to the first line of Maling; The mountain road to the south is relatively wide.

"It's really Shu Zhongxiong Guan also!"

Seeing that such a dangerous terrain, Ma couldn't help but praise it, and immediately sighed. Then, Ma raised his hand and pointed to the south of Baishui Pass, and asked loudly, "I don't know...... Along this road to the south, where can you go to Shuzhong? ”

"Out of the Baishui Pass South Gate, along the West Han River (Bailongjiang) south, thirty miles away, and divided into two roads.

The mountain road on the left side is next to the West Han River, thirty miles to the south, is Jiameng Pass, and then to the south...... Ketongba County, Jingxiang.

The mountain road on the right side follows the Dajian Mountain Canyon, fifty miles to the southwest, is the Sword Pavilion Road, after passing this pass...... Then go south, you can pass through Zitong, Fuxian, Mianzhu, Luoxian, Chengdu in Shu! ”

As soon as Ma's voice fell, Gao Pei immediately replied loudly.

"The terrain in Shuzhong is complex, and the danger of mountains and rivers is solid, and Xiongguan is so much!" Ma nodded, sighed solemnly, and then muttered to himself: "If you can get the Jiameng Pass and the Sword Pavilion Pass, it will be easy to break through the guards in Shuzhong!" ”

"General Ma doesn't have to worry!"

Although Ma whispered to himself, Yang Huai heard it, and immediately, he said in a determined voice: "The two of us are under the command of the new lord, and I am very ashamed that I have not made an inch!" Now...... The two of us can dedicate Jia Mengguan to the lord and talk about the heart! ”

"Oh......"

Ma immediately turned around, his expression was overjoyed, and he asked excitedly: "General Yang...... Is this true? ”

Yang Huai said aloud with a very solemn expression: "How dare the last general sincerely vote for the lord...... Deceive General Yuma? ”

"Good! God really help me Liangzhou Army! ”

Ma was overjoyed, and immediately laughed loudly: "If you can take down the Jiameng Pass again, then ...... Liu Yan'an dares not to let go! ”

Seeing this, Yang Huai and Gao Pei were at a loss, and Yan Yan ...... Why they captured Baishui Pass, and how they forced Liu Yan to release their families, explained to the two of them one by one.

Yang Huai and Gao Pei listened, and the look on their faces can be described by the word ecstasy! Finally, the two of them completely settled down in their hearts, and they respected Li Mu more and more. Come to think of it, their families can also return safely.

Ma looked at the two of them and asked with a smile: "I don't know General Yang and General Gao...... What strategy should be used...... Take down the Jiameng Pass"

Yang Huai and Gao Pei looked at each other and smiled, and then replied in unison: "You don't need any strategy, just repair a book...... Can! ”

But seeing that Ma was surprised, Yan Yan laughed loudly: "Dong Ju, the guard general of Jia Meng Pass, and the two generals are friends of life and death!" If you get the handwritten letters of the two generals, General Dong will definitely surrender to vote! ”

Ma was overjoyed, and immediately laughed loudly: "Overnight, double happiness is coming!" Really...... What a delight! When we return to Nanzheng City, the general will definitely give credit to the two generals...... Carefully play the lord! ”

"The last general...... Thank you, General Ma, for your love! ”

Yang Huai and Gao Pei hurriedly saluted Ma Shi and thanked him in unison. Afterwards, the two of them muttered again: "The guard general at the Sword Pavilion Pass is Liu Yan's confidant Zhang Ren, this person is quite powerful in using soldiers, and he has no friendship with the two of us...... There's nothing we can do about it! Please forgive General Ma! ”

"Why should the two generals blame themselves?"

Ma waved his hand, smiled and said with relief: "To be able to win the Jiameng Pass, the two generals are already a great achievement!" Moreover, the lord's general order ...... It's just that I'm just waiting to capture Baishui Pass! ”

"Without further ado! The end will be ready for this! ”

Half an hour later, Yang Huai asked his guards to bring letters, and Pegasus rushed to Jiameng Pass.

During this period, Ma Chuan ordered the prisoners who were willing to serve the Liangzhou army to stay here; If you don't want to, the Liangzhou army will let it go and let it go. In the end, only more than 300 captives, with coils, left Baishui Pass suspiciously.

More than four quarters of an hour later, Yang Huai's personal guards arrived with Dong Ju's handwritten letter. Sure enough, it didn't disappoint everyone, Dong Ju was willing to sacrifice Jia Mengguan. At the same time, in order to show his loyalty, Dong Ju bluntly said in the letter: You can let the Liangzhou army come to change the defense!

Ma knew in his heart that Liu Yan's reinforcements were afraid that they would go north to the front line of Jiameng Pass and Baishui Pass. Ma was afraid that there were few people in Jiameng Pass and Dong Ju would not be able to stop Liu Yan's army, so he immediately ordered Yan Yan and Zhang Zhu to rush back to Jiameng Pass with 3,000 soldiers as quickly as possible.

As Ma expected, when Yan Yan and Zhang led their troops to the north gate of Jiameng Pass. Liu Yan's generals, Wu Yi and Wu Ban brothers, happened to lead their troops to the south gate of Jiameng Pass. Faced with the change of flag, the Wu brothers had to retreat.

……

The Di people, which originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, were mainly engaged in animal husbandry and agriculture. Since ancient times, the Di people are mainly distributed in the northwest of Liangzhou and Yizhou, and there are many tribal branches, including Qingdi, Baidi, Jiadi and Badi, Baimayi, Yinpingdi, etc.

Di people are often mixed with Qiang. However, there are two main theories about the origin of the Di people: one is that Di and Qiang have the same origin and different currents; On the other hand, although Di and Qiang have been closely related since ancient times, they have always been two different ethnic groups. In the pre-Qin and Qin periods, it can be collectively referred to as Xirong!

The Guanghan vassal state of Yizhou is exactly ...... The Han Dynasty was established in order to administer the Di people. There are four main parts of the Di nationality in the territory of the Guanghan vassal country, one of which is the king of Xingguo Di and Agui; second, Baiqing (Qiu Chi) King Di, Yang 10 million; third, the king of Yin Ping, the strong end; Fourth, some tribes of the Wudu Di tribe Leiding.

Among them, the scope of activities of King Xingguo was in the northern part of the Guanghan vassal state...... Diandi Road; The sphere of influence of the king of Baiqing is mainly in Gangqi Dao; The sphere of influence of the strong end is naturally in the Yin Ping Dao.

……

"Where is the boundary ahead?"

Zhang Liao lightly pulled the black horse, and then, looking at Zhang Nan beside him, asked.

Zhang Nan immediately replied: "General, twenty miles ahead, is Baishui. After crossing Baishui in the west, you can reach Yinping Road by heading due west; Heading southwest, you will reach Gangdi Road. ”

"Report ......"

At that moment, a scout came from the west, Pegasus, and shouted loudly.

"Speak quickly!"

Zhang Liao raised his hand and signaled that the detective would step forward.

Five or six breaths later, the scout horse came to Zhang Liao's approach, and before he had time to catch his breath, he hurriedly reported: "General Zhang!" The advance of our army met the enemy on the west bank of Whitewater! General Feng specially ordered his subordinates to come and report! ”

"All march!"

Zhang Liao nodded, then let out a loud shout, and hurried to the west bank of Baishui.
