But he said. 、

Not far from the Xiegu Pass, but not close, in the dense forest, which was originally deserted and no one would enter, now there are many soldiers in black clothes and black armor, emerging from the tall grass.

There are also black flags that look a little tattered.

Even these soldiers who came out looked tired on their faces, and the clothes on their bodies were also a little tattered.

It's obvious that something bad has happened.

"Haha, Xingba, Ziyi, Kong Ming, we finally arrived!" The red-faced general laughed.

And there were a few people around, it was Gan Ning, Tai Shici, and Zhuge Liang, although their faces looked a little tired, they still looked very excited.

They were in Chang'an, obeyed Qin Yin's orders, selected five thousand elite soldiers, and left Chang'an City overnight, avoiding all eyes and ears, and rushed all the way.

Climb over the mountain, enter from the mountain to the sloping valley pass.

Along the way, it was very difficult, the mountains were not so easy to climb, and there were not many routes.

In order to carry out a surprise attack, it is impossible to walk on the official road, and the official road is also a dangerous terrain, usually no one walks at all, it is full of weeds, and it can only be crossed by two horses in parallel.

When they arrived here, more than 100 of the 5,000 elite soldiers died in the mountains.

Thankfully, they finally arrived at their destination.

"Let the soldiers rest first, and then make plans!" Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan and proposed.

"That's exactly what it should be!"

Wei Yan and the others did not have any opinions.

After all, the soldiers they brought were exhausted, and in such a state, they could not carry out a surprise attack.

Forthwith.

They let the soldiers rest on the spot, and they also gathered together, sat cross-legged on the ground, took out dry food, and ate it, with a map in the middle.

"Everyone, please see, now we should be here, only three miles away from the Xiegu Pass, and because of the dangerous terrain here, ordinary people will not pass through here, so there are not too many soldiers and horses in the Xiegu Pass, only hundreds of veterans, plus there is no battle all year round, it is equivalent to being deserted, and it only needs a battle to take it!"

"After taking the Xiegu Pass, control all the people inside, you can directly take the land of Hanzhong, and before Zhang Lu reacts, take it directly."

Zhuge Liang was eating dry food while analyzing.

The main task of their army is to raid the land of Hanzhong, and then rush directly from Hanzhong to Wudu City, attack the rear of Wudu City, and unite with the army led by Qin Yin to take Wudu City and enter Chengdu.

"This plan is feasible, now that Gongzi personally leads the army, he has arrived at Wudu City, and he has attracted all his eyes to the past, Zhang Lu must not have imagined that we will attack from Xiegu Pass, and we will not have too many defenses, as long as we move quickly, we can take the land of Hanzhong in one fell swoop." Wei Yan also nodded in agreement.

"I have no objection to waiting!"

Gan Ning and Tai Shici also agreed to Zhuge Liang's proposal.

They have all crossed the mountains, and the most difficult part has been crossed, and there will be any opinions there, if it is not for the state of the soldiers, they are ready to lead the army directly.

It is clear that this attack on the land of Yizhou, whether it can be taken at the lowest cost, the task on their side is the most critical.

They spent a lot of time climbing over the mountains.

"Since you have no opinion, let's proceed as it is, and we will start tonight!" Zhuge Liang said.

"That's great!"

Wei Yan, Gan Ning, and Tai Shici all nodded in agreement.

It was already afternoon, and it was more advantageous to let the soldiers rest for an afternoon to be able to recover to their best condition, and to carry out a surprise attack at night.

After deciding on it.

After confirming the details, Wei Yan put away the map.

After everyone had finished eating the dry food, they each walked to a tree, sat down directly, and fell asleep against the tree.

It's not just the soldiers who are tired.

Several of them were also very tired.

In order to complete the mission and carry out the raid, they did not rest for a long time, and most of the time was spent on hurrying.

Now it has crossed the mountains and reached the vicinity of the Xiegu Pass.

It is also possible to rest with peace of mind, recharge your energy, and prepare for the night raid.

Of course, soldiers were also arranged to take turns guarding around.

Although such a dense forest is deserted and no one enters, it is necessary to be vigilant, just in case.

You know, the world is impermanent, and they don't want to make a mistake at the last minute.

They operate in secret, and if they are discovered, then they cannot continue to carry out raids, and everything they have done will be directly in vain.

It will also affect Qin Yin's plan.

This is not the outcome they wanted.

...

South Zheng Chengzhong.

When Zhuge Liang and others led the army to the vicinity of Xiegu Pass.

Hanzhong Taishou Zhang Lu was in the Taishou Mansion in Nanzheng City, gathering a group of subordinates to discuss things.

Because the messenger sent by Liu Zhang has arrived.

Moreover, Qin Yin led an army of 100,000 to come and wanted to seize the land of Yizhou, he was also very clear, after all, he also received the will of the imperial court, and did not go to Chang'an to obey the dispatch.

And he is also an ambitious man.

After Liu Zhang inherited Liu Yan's position and became the pastor of Yizhou, he didn't want to obey Liu Zhang's orders, and finally seized the land of Hanzhong and fought against Liu Zhang.

But, this is also a matter for him and Liu Zhang.

And Qin Yin now wants to seize the entire land of Yizhou, if Liu Zhang is defeated, he will not be better there, unless he takes refuge in Qin Yin.

Now Liu Zhang sent an envoy to come, wanting to unite with him, first put aside the hatred between the two sides, and deal with Qin Yin together.

After some deliberation.

He agreed according to Zhang Wei, that is, his brother.

After all, he knew that if he didn't unite with Liu Zhang, he would not be able to resist Qin Yin's army with his soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, if Liu Zhang could stop the Qin army, it would be fine, if he couldn't stop it, he would also be implicated.

Only by uniting can we have sufficient certainty.

Even if he has an enmity with Liu Zhang, and most of Liu Zhang's soldiers and horses have been transferred to Wudu City to block the Qin army.

It can be said that now is the best time for him to seek revenge and take revenge, but he will not do it, because it will also harm himself and will not benefit him.

He can still clearly distinguish the stakes.
