When Wei Yan heard this, he laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, Ju Qi, you are too worried." Sending you into Chengdu City is not for you to open the city gate for your son, or to take Chengdu in one fell swoop. What you have to do is simple, you only need to do two things when you enter the city.

First, gather as much information as you can in the city.

For example, who are the guards responsible for defending the gates of the south, east, and west, and what is the approximate deployment of troops, there is no need to go into too much detail.

Second, make as many friends as you can with soldiers from other barbarian tribes in the city.

Also, when it comes to a critical moment, someone will inform you that when the time comes, you will be responsible for stabilizing the other barbarians in the city who are friendly with you, and it is best not to involve them in defensive battles. Of course, this is only a trick that will be used in the final battle, and usually, whatever Liu Zhang commands, you can do it. Even if Ben Sima personally leads the army to attack the city wall that you are responsible for defending, you don't need to be polite, you can fight as you want. ”

"I see, my subordinates understand!" After listening, Ju Ming's hanging heart relaxed, and he let out a long breath and replied.

If it is really as Wei Yan said, such a task is really not difficult, but the difficulty now is on Wei Yan's body, to see if he can take Jinzhu Pass as soon as possible, otherwise, once Jin Jue captures Fu County and the news reaches Jinzhu Pass, if he wants to raid here, the difficulty will become even greater.

Wei Yan made a decision, so he let the troops hide in the mountains and forests for a whole day, while he himself slept during the day, and secretly came to the west of Jinzhu Pass at dusk.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Guanghan County led Zitong, Jufang, Fu, Ru, Mianzhu, Guanghan, Jiaming, Yun, Xindu, Diandidao, Baishui, Gangdidao, Yinping Dao, a total of ten counties and three roads. The county is governed in Luo County, the capital is governed by Mianzhu, and the northern capital is governed by Yinping Road, which belongs to the Yizhou Thorn History Department, and is one of the three major counties of the earliest Yizhou Thorn History Department.

Ruo County is not only the county government, but also the original Yizhou Thorn History Department where the state is located, not the current Chengdu. In the first year of Xingping, Liu Yan's eldest son and second son all died at the hands of the powerful minister Li Yu, but fortunately his friend Pang Xi sent Liu Yan's grandchildren to Shu, which saved them from being implicated.

At this time, a fire broke out in Mianzhu and affected Yu County.

In this sudden fire, Liu Yan's mansion was burned, the cars and passengers were also burned to the ground, and the surrounding houses were also deeply affected. As a last resort, Liu Yan moved the state to the present-day city of Chengdu. Because of the sadness of the two sons who died, and worried about the disaster, Liu Yan died of back sores not long after.

Therefore, Jinzhuguan was in fact rebuilt later.

Mianshui runs through the northeast side of Jinzhu Pass, so the east gate and the north gate are very close to Mianshui, which is not conducive to Wei Yan's department to launch a night attack. Since it is a Guancheng city and it is in Yizhou, this is naturally a mountain city. If they could appear south of Jinzhu Pass, why would they attack the city? Therefore, for the time being, before exploring Jinzhu Pass at night, Wei Yan thought that only the direction of Xicheng could be used as a breakthrough point.

At the beginning, when Liu Zhang rebuilt Jinzhu Pass, he focused on increasing the height of the west wall of Jinzhu Pass by more than three feet.

And the two guards who were responsible for guarding Jinzhu Pass also knew this, and gathered one-third of the troops in the city on this side.

After a night of observation, Wei Yan discovered that the soldiers of the North City and the East City were still patrolling the city at night, and the soldiers who could see the patrol in these two directions were only one-third of the soldiers on the West City, which showed the importance that the Jinzhu Guards attached to the West City.

Before dawn, Wei Yan returned to the camp, and after eating, after a good night's sleep, he woke up and asked if there was any news from Fu County.

However, to Wei Yan's disappointment, there has been no news about Jin Jue from the south so far, and there is actually a business trip that has just come from Fu County to do business, however, after the pair of business travelers heard that Jinzhu Pass would not pass through and would not be allowed to enter the customs, during the day, the group of merchants drove a small boat downstream along the Mianshui, and heard that they were preparing to take a long detour to Luo County in the west of Chengdu.

The other party was in too much of a hurry, Wei Yan's army lacked both war horses and ships, so he couldn't catch up with the caravan at all, and the deputy general knew that he couldn't catch up with the caravan, so he had the courage not to wake up Wei Yan, who had not rested all night.

"Got it! Forget it this time, if next time, you will still be like this, and find your own way out as soon as possible. Wei Yan glared at the lieutenant general viciously and said in a deep voice.

Like Jin Jue, Wei Yan's temper is a bit domineering, and he can listen to other people's advice, but the premise is that his subordinates can't hide it, which is the same as Jin Jue.

"My subordinates know that they are wrong! Please take responsibility for your subordinates! The adjutant hurriedly knelt on one knee and pleaded guilty.

Yes, this lieutenant general has some problems in his brain, and he has been following Wei Yan for a long time, and he still doesn't know the temperament of his superior. Since Wei Yan has already said that it is forgotten, it is forgotten. When he said this, he took Wei Yan's words for something.

Therefore, this time Wei Yan didn't say anything, but in his heart, he had already made up his mind, after this battle, he must replace this deputy general.

After waking up, Wei Yan had another big meal, and stayed in the tent all the time, thinking hard about what he had seen last night, and thinking hard about countermeasures.

Judging from the current city defense situation that Wei Yan personally grasped, Xicheng, which seems to be easy to launch a night attack, is not the first choice for this night attack.

First, the walls of Xicheng are relatively too high, and the soldiers' arm strength is limited, so I am afraid that when the time comes, most of the soldiers will not be able to throw the climbing rope on the top of the city, and at that time, the scene will become extremely embarrassing.

Second, there are a large number of defenders in Jinzhu Pass gathered on the city wall of Xicheng, and the work of cleaning up the city wall has become extremely difficult. If the stalemate continues, let alone open the west gate, the defenders who have come from the south and north city walls can squeeze Wei Yan's troops down the city wall even if they use people to pile up.

On the contrary, if Wei Yan's soldiers were able to attack the eastern city wall, if the western city wanted to rescue the eastern city, they would have to cross the southern or northern cities, and if the two defenders wanted to use the reserve troops to prevent Wei Yan from capturing the city, it would also take a while. As long as Wei Yan's soldiers moved fast enough, they would be able to successfully take the East City Gate before the soldiers and reserves from the West City could reach the East City.

With these factors in mind, Wei Yan finalized the specific battle plan and the timing of its execution.
