Zhao Jian led 80,000 soldiers out of Gyeonggi Province and then went straight to Jingzhou, passed through Xiangyang, and entered Yong'an County to prepare for the entry into Shu.

Zhao Jianduan sat in the hall of the county guard of Yong'an County, and in addition to Bai Ziqian, there were also a cadre of Wenchen generals standing below, all of whom were his cronies who had been promoted over the years.

"Tell me, how should this battle be fought?" Zhao Jian asked.

"Your Royal Highness, if you want to enter Shu and start from Yong'an, you can go straight to Jiangzhou, the hinterland of Yizhou, after going west, this road is easier to walk, and it is not easy to be blocked or ambushed along the way, but once we occupy Jiangzhou, it will be a situation of attacking from three sides, Jiangzhou is easy to attack and difficult to defend!" Zhang Heng suggested

"There's another road, but it's very steep!" Wu Rui stood up and said.

"And? However, there is only this one road to go on the map of the mountains and rivers of Xishu, how can the lobby discuss nonsense! Zhang Heng said angrily.

"It's not on the map, but I know that I have lived in Sichuan for 30 years, and I know every road here." Wu Rui walked to the map of the Xishu Mountains and rivers, stretched out his finger and pointed to a long mountain range.

"What is this?" Zhao Jian wondered.

"Your Royal Highness, I only need 8,000 elite soldiers, cross this mountain range, you can bypass the three checkpoints from Xishu to Hanzhong, especially the two checkpoints of Baishui Pass and Sword Pavilion, both of which are known as the one man and the ten thousand people who are not open, each of these three checkpoints is garrisoned by tens of thousands of people, if it is attacked, it will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, but if it can be bypassed, the grain road will be cut off, and the 30,000 will be able to surrender without a fight!" Wu Rui's hand crossed the mountain range and bypassed the three levels.

It is true that if this plan is successful, taking the entire Sichuan and Shu will be like exploring the bag.

"It can't be, no one has ever been able to walk through that mountain range since ancient times! Even if you cross the mountain range to reach Jiangyou, then Jiangyou is even more of a swamp, you are joking with the lives of 8,000 soldiers! Zhang Heng scolded angrily.

"How can you win if you don't dare to bet? Gambling the lives of tens of thousands of people with 8,000 soldiers, this deal can be done! Zhao Jian stared at the mountains and rivers of Xishu and muttered.

"Wu Rui obeys orders!" Zhao Jian patted the map.

"The minister is here!"

"The soldiers in the battalion are as you choose, and in five days, 8,000 soldiers will be led by you to cross the mountains, and you must cut off the grain routes of the three checkpoints!"

"Command!" Wu Rui received the order and left, and went to the army to select soldiers.

Zhao Jian looked at Bai Ziqian and found that Bai Ziqian had been staring at the map silently, and then replied, "What's wrong?" ”

"Your Highness, I agree with General Wu Rui's approach, even if Jiangzhou is defeated, we are bound to suffer heavy losses, and it is not certain whether we can hold it at that time, but if General Wu Rui succeeds, we can take Zitong directly, Zitong is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is beneficial for us to occupy Zitong." Bai Ziqian looked at Chengdu along Zitong.

The land of Sichuan and Shu has always been isolated from the world, and the road to Shu has only been a road to the Sword Pavilion since ancient times, and no one would have thought that someone would cross the mountain range to bypass the three passes.

"If this plan can be successful, General Wu Rui will definitely be able to go down in history!" Bai Ziqian said with a smile.

"This Wu Rui is worth cultivating?" Zhao Jian asked.

"I have to look at it again, if the behavior after entering Shu can be satisfactory, it can be promoted." Bai Ziqian replied.

"Okay." Zhao Jian nodded.

"Zhang Heng, tell me about the famous generals in Shudi?" Zhao Jian sat back in his chair.

"There are many famous generals in Shu, including Tang Yi, Kuang Zhao, Cheng Da, Wu Wenshun, Cao Xu, Zhang Yan, all of whom are enemies of thousands of people, and the rest of the generals are also some brave and good fighters." Zhang Heng replied.

"Rule Shu with Shu people."

"Your Highness has moved your heart to love talents?"

"They are all people who should leave their names in the troubled times, living in Shu, condestining talents, if they follow me, I will make the world frightened when they know their names!" Zhao Jian laughed!

"It depends on whether those people have that ambition or not."

"Great rivers and mountains, great heads, who doesn't want to? Who wouldn't? Zhao Jian said with a smile.

Zhao Jian put away his smile and said, "Zhang Heng, it's nothing, you go down first." ”

"Your Highness, the minister retires." Zhang Heng retired.

"Bai Ziqian, is there any movement over there in Beiban?" Zhao Jian asked after Zhang Heng left.

"According to reports, the Beiban has stationed 300,000 troops at various checkpoints this time, but they have not chosen to attack, and the reason is still unknown." Bai Ziqian replied.

Zhao Jian slapped the desk angrily and scolded: "The reason for going to the fuck is unknown!" Beiban is waiting, waiting for me to get into chaos, he is good to sit and collect fishing profits, the front line days Jingzhou came to a few fathers-in-law from the capital, I found someone to block the border of Jingzhou, let me send troops to suppress the thief, Qingzhou that waste can't even exterminate the thief soldiers, it's lazy to do it all day! ”

"And my good uncle in Xuzhou, when my father entered Beijing, if he hadn't been a hindrance from it, how could my father be seriously ill, and now he is ordered to suppress bandits in front of the whole world, and the wolf's ambition is clearly revealed, let him enter Qingzhou, can he still go?"

Bai Ziqian waited for Zhao Jian to finish venting before he persuaded out: "Your Highness, rest assured, those bandits are not so easy to exterminate. ”

"Immediately give the general who was bribed by us to pass the Yumen Pass, and let him find an opportunity to open the gate and let the Beiman enter the pass." Zhao Jian said.

"Yes, the minister retired." Bai Ziqian opened the tent door and left.

At this moment, the people who were far away in the Northern Barbarians were always paying attention to the movements of the Central Plains, and Yelu Juehe and Yelu Dehe led 400,000 Northern Barbarian soldiers to confront Antelope City across the first pass in the world.

"After entering the customs, you must drag it out, let your clan soldiers not go up, Antelope City is not so easy to capture, and the general guarding the pass is Cui Zheng." Jerujue reminded.

"Don't be in such a hurry to break through, the Wanyan family has been the emperor of the Northern Barbarians for twenty years, if you don't take advantage of this opportunity to let them bleed, there will be no chance in the future, by the way, what did you say when you went to Gusu City to discuss matters before? You didn't say anything when I asked you the first few times, but this time it's almost war, so it's time to talk about it. Yelu Deh asked, a few months ago when Yelu Juehe came back with a smile on his face, and asked him why he didn't say anything, saying that he wanted to surprise him at the end.

Yelu Juehe smiled again on his face after hearing this, telling about the things in Gusu City at the beginning.

Jerodh listened to it all with a gloomy face.

"Big brother! You are confused, Wanyan Abaoji wants to unify the Northern Barbarians! Think about it, use your brains, our foundation is in the Northern Barbarians, even if we take the Central Plains, it will inevitably be a war, and if the Northern Barbarian foundation is gone, we will be gone! ”

"This... So what to do? Yelu Juehe's face froze, a little panicked.

"Let's take a step at a time, big brother, you have to tell me as soon as you have something in the future." Yerodh calmed down and said.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you anything in the future." Yelu Juehe nodded.

"When are you going to send troops to break through the level?"

"For a few more days, those people are all with their own ghosts, and they are all thinking about how to take advantage of themselves, and they are all guarding against it." Yelu Juehe shook his head, "There is no way. ”

Jerodh went into the inner account and rested.
