Xu Deyan bowed slightly, put away his smile: "Then will we fight this Mianzhu Pass or not?" ”

Pei Zilie clenched the letter in his hand.

To fight or not to fight······ If he fought, Wei Xiaokuan was more likely to transfer to Langzhong, which would undoubtedly add more pressure and danger to Li Xinchen. However, according to Li Xinchen's meaning, Mianzhu Pass must be fought, and it must be resolved quickly······

This Xiongguan Mandao, how can it be so easy to fight.

Looking at the look on Pei Zilie's face, Xu Deyan had roughly guessed the answer, and his own general was obviously no longer entangled in "whether to fight or not to fight", but was thinking about how to fight.

Mianzhu Pass is called "Mianzhu", in fact, it is composed of two parts, one is located in Mianyang River (now Mianyuan River) on the west bank of Mianzhu City, one is located on the east bank of Lutou Pass, the city pass is each other's horns, it is the only way to reach Shu County in the area of Zitong, it is also the starting point of Jiange Road, it has the title of "Bashu small throat" since ancient times.

In fact, Mianzhu City has been abandoned in the war over the years, and only Lutou Pass is left that can be used as a defensive pass, so over time, Lutou Pass has been replaced by the name of "Mianzhu Pass", which once represented two places.

At this time, what Pei Zilie saw in front of him was Mianzhu Pass, which was the place where Luofengpo was located, and it was also the place where Zhuge Zhan, the son of Zhuge Liang, fought Deng Ai alone. Hundreds of years have passed, and these characters who once shined in the era have turned into a pinch of loess, and only this Mianzhuguan is still standing here, blocking Pei Zilie's view to the north.

"Three hundred years ago, Deng Ai attacked the city here, Zhuge Zhan was the master of the pass, and Jiang Wei's army came back to help, which was the place of death. However, Deng Ai was stubborn and took the lead, inducing the young Zhuge Zhan to be high-spirited and rashly lead his troops to battle, and finally Zhuge Zhan died in battle, Mianzhu Pass was lost, and Deng Ai soldiers came to Guanghan and forced Liu Chan to surrender. Xu Deyan couldn't help muttering at this time, for him, who is well-read, this period of history is just a matter of hand.

"Three hundred years ago, Deng Ai was in a desperate ······" Pei Zilie couldn't help but whisper, "I don't know if three hundred years later, will we people survive in this Mianzhu Pass?" ”

After a pause, the confusion and sigh in Pei Zilie's eyes had disappeared: "Order, Zheng Kaiyuan led his troops to search forward along the mountain road, be sure to strangle the enemy scouts, and if you encounter the enemy camp, you can try to attack." ”

"This ······" Xu Deyan was stunned for a moment, what does his own general mean by this?

Didn't Pei Zilie personally say just now that these mountain roads are not going to be used anymore because they can no longer play an unexpected role, why have they changed their minds now?

"False and real, since the city guard intends to beware of a certain person taking a small road to outflank the pass, then a certain might as well follow his wishes." Pei Zilie chuckled, "Now it's time for him to guess what he thinks." ”

Xu Deyan was silent for a moment, and roughly understood what Pei Zilie meant.

"In addition, let the baggage in the back be faster, especially the trebuchet and bed crossbow, hurry up and be transferred by the sailor, Mianzhu must be quickly resolved here." Pei Zilie's expression was a little serious, and then he muttered, "I don't know how long Shizhong can hold out there······ I don't know what Wei Xiaokuan will do······"

——————————————-

"Langzhong, Mianzhu······ Interesting. Wei Xiaokuan sat on the Sword Pavilion Gate, looking at the news sent by the scout, and couldn't help but reach out and stroke his beard.

"Daddy, I didn't expect that Wei Chichen was blocked in the rice cang mountain by Li Xinchen, I knew that it would be better to let him wait for us to march together, which gave Li Xinchen various opportunities to break through." Wei Shou's face was full of remorse.

Wei Xiaokuan snorted: "Marching together? You think it's easy, but do you think that if you march together, who will lead the old man and the old guy Wei Chi, and once the two of them lead the troops at the same time, if the order is conveyed, will you guys obey Wei Chi's words? When the time comes, it will have to be messed up. ”

Wei Shou wanted to refute, but he frowned, unable to think of a reason.

The contradiction between Wei Chi Hui and Wei Xiaokuan is the contradiction between Yu Wenxian and Yang Jian, and the contradiction between the Han and Xianbei people is deeper, and some contradictions can only be alleviated, but there is no way to completely reconcile them. Han Chinese and Xianbei people can cooperate with each other, but they can never make friends.

Wei Shou already knew this, and he didn't expect any Xianbei person to treat him as a true friend.

Therefore, Wei Xiaokuan and Wei Chi are here, in order to avoid contradictions between the two armies, which will affect the entire battle situation, the two will inevitably move forward separately.

And obviously Li Xinchen had already calculated this, rushed into Langzhong in front of Yu Chi Yuan, and blocked Wei Chi Chen, Li Xinchen knew very well that when he took Lang Zhong, Wei Xiaokuan had not yet moved to his flank, so there was no need to worry about it at all.

"Without Wei Chi Bo Juluo (Wei Chi Zhi Biao Zi) in front, Li Xinchen may have occupied Chaotianmen and Zitong now, or retreated to block Jiameng Pass, it is impossible for us to enter the Sword Pavilion at all," Wei Xiaokuan sneered, "You look at these local village soldiers, basically they don't have much fighting spirit, their morale is low, and their blades are even rusty, and it is delusional to want to rely on them to resist Li Xinchen." ”

Wei Shou sighed softly, this is an indisputable fact, because Wei Chichen forcibly climbed over the Micang Mountain in the heavy snow and appeared in Langzhong, so Li Xinchen could only slow down and work hard with Yu Chi in Langzhong, otherwise I am afraid that Li Xinchen's flag would have already fluttered on the Sword Pavilion.

The combat effectiveness of these local township soldiers in the Northern Zhou Dynasty is indeed not worth mentioning, even if there are many passes and obstacles on the road from Jiangge to Jiameng Pass and then to Chaotian, Li Xinchen may be able to break through. The two dangers of White Emperor City and Luzhou City before are the best examples.

Although the geographical advantages of Bashu offset the influence of some people, no one can deny that among the "time, place, and people", it is still "people" who play the most important role.

Fortunately, now Wei Chi reacted quickly, and directly sent troops into Cangxi, blocking the possibility of Li Xinchen's soldiers and horses going north to block Chaotian, so that Wei Xiaokuan could easily cross the two dangerous places of Chaotian Gate and Jiameng Pass and arrive at Jiange City.

However, now that Wei Chi has not much food and grass, and his troops are divided into two routes, in fact, the main force has been completely trapped in the rice cang mountain and cannot advance or retreat, so Wei Xiaokuan must have something to say.

Wei Chi Hui protected Wei Xiaokuan's front road safety, and Wei Xiaokuan of course could not watch Wei Chi Yu's soldiers and horses annihilate because of the lack of baggage and grain and grass. That is to say, when Li Xinchen blocked Wei Chi Yuan and took Langzhong, Wei Xiaokuan had to get troops to enter Langzhong.

This is a strategic judgment as well as a political judgment.

Even political reasons are greater than strategy, and Wei Xiaokuan cannot give the court a handle to criticize him because of the Battle of Bashu.
