After ten days of preparation, He Zhen and Liu Tichun led their troops to Ningshan County, although Ningshan is only a small county town, but the meridian road has passed through since then, and its strategic position is very important. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

There are four roads from Hanzhong to Guanzhong, namely Chencang Road (now along the Baocheng Line Railway, from Calcium County, which is today's Mian County to Chencang through Luoyang and Feng County), Baochuan Road (from Baozhong, which is today's Hanzhong to Guanzhong's M County Fu Luo Road (from today's Hanzhong Yang County Fushui River Estuary, to Xiluoyu in ZZ County, is the fastest and most difficult road among all roads), Meridian Road (from Chang'an's Meridian Town through Meridian Pass, Ningshan County or arrived at Shiquan County or arrived at Yang County, so Ningshan County is the throat of the meridian road, He Zhen and Liu Tichun were born in Liukou, good at hiding themselves, after ten days of secret marching, more than ten dens of Tartar were eliminated in a row, and suddenly killed under Ningshan County, defending the city of only more than 2,000 old, weak, sick and disabled, how to carefully select the opponent of the soldiers, the two sides fought each other, He Zhen and others occupied Ningshan County and seized a large number of transit materials of the Tartars.

After occupying Ningshan County, after a few days of eating and drinking, He Zhen sent Qian Zong Luo Dai to lead his troops to attack Shiguan, another pass on the meridian road, while Liu Tichun led his troops to cross the mountains and mountains and rush to the side of Fu Luo Road.

This Fu Luo Road was built by Liu Bei in order to crusade against Wei, although the distance is the shortest, but it is also the most difficult, since the opening has become a very busy passage, such as the Tang Ming Emperor fled into the four Yang Guifei into Chang'an to take this road.

Now the Tartars are attacking Hanzhong, 780,000 troops are stationed in Hanzhong, and there are a lot of materials needed.

After three days of climbing, Liu Tichun and others came to Laojun Ridge on this day, which is a steep place in the middle of Fu Luo Road, which can control the Chenjia River to the south and the Badou River to the north.

Hiding in the valley and watching the Tartar grain team pass forward one by one, Liu Tichun was overjoyed and said to everyone: "Yang Xuan's attack location for us is very good, we have taken these seventy or eighty carts of grain, and the brothers can probably eat it for a few months." ”

Liu Tichun They held back in the mountains for more than half a year, and now they saw a cart of grain, and everyone shouted and killed them one by one, how could these hundreds of people escorting grain and grass be the opponents of this group of tigers and wolves, and the green battalion that escorted the grain and grass killed Liu Tichun and others, and they were terrified, and waved their big knives again and again to let everyone not panic.

However, the other side is outnumbered, and the most elite men and horses in the army are reorganized, and now they see a cart of grain and a lot of morale.

He caught several people in a row, but to no avail, and was finally beheaded by the hated rebels at the foot of the mountain.

Looking at the mess in front of more than 100 grain trucks, more than Ningshan County, Liu Tichun laughed, and then asked everyone to push the grain to Laojun Ridge, everyone took Laojun Ridge as a stronghold, while sending soldiers and horses to loot the Tartar grain along the way, and on the other hand, using these grain trucks to block the main passage in case the Tartars attacked.

But there was too much grain looted, and Liu Xuanchu suggested: "General, now that we have piled up so much grain, enough for our three thousand men and horses to eat for a year, how about taking out twenty or thirty carts of grain and distributing it to the surrounding people?"

Liu Tichun shook his head and said: "Sir, my brothers are still starving in that deep valley, although I have some food here, if it is distributed to people who don't know each other, is it too big?" ”

Liu Xuanchu smiled and said: "General, you are now a loyal army, and your brothers are the people, as long as we defeat the Tartars and occupy Hanzhong, then the generals will settle you, and will settle your brothers in the past."

Why did the local people support you in the past? It is because you have scattered all your money and goods, and now that the general is alone, the Tartars will never be willing to fail, and will inevitably send troops to conquer, if we treat the people around us well, we will give them food, and they will definitely repay their kindness at that time. ”

Liu Tichun and the others were originally from the rogue, and it was common for them to distribute money from the government, but because they had just suffered a lot in the mountains, and now when they heard Liu Xuanchu say this, they immediately pulled out dozens of carts of grain and distributed it to the surrounding people.

At this time, in the big tent of the Manchu Chinese army, the Manchu uncle regent, the Prince of Yu Duoduo, was anxious, and after two months of confrontation with the loyal army along the Han River, he could not win, and now he feels that he can no longer hold on.

From top to bottom, not only realized that the loyal army was sharp, but also understood the importance of the navy, just like the cavalry galloping on the plain, the loyal and righteous army sailed back and forth on the Han River at any time to cut off the rear road of the Qing army to cross the river and attack it.

In the face of the surging Han River, unless superior naval forces are transferred from other places, or the temperature drops sharply, the entire Han River freezes and the army can cross the Han River smoothly, it will be even more difficult to defeat the Qing army on the opposite bank.

In addition to the distress of the war ahead, what Duoduo was most distressed about was the food supply, and he really tasted the consequences of thousands of miles of feeding.

There was a distance of nearly 1,000 miles from Xi'an to Hanzhong, compared with this nearly 1,000 miles, what was more difficult was that there were post roads everywhere along the way, and there were mountains and mountains everywhere along the way, and it was very difficult for the army to transport grain.

In order to ensure the transportation of grain and grass, Meng Qiaofang, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, levied 100,000 laborers, and even then it was difficult to ensure the smooth grain flow of the army.

In addition, more headache is the collection of grain, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Shaanxi Province suffered from natural and man-made disasters year after year, the local economy was extremely tired, and the food in various places was even less than that of Sichuan.

In order to collect grain and grass, the local people complained, and taking advantage of this opportunity, the Hui generals Ding Guodong and Mi Layin and others designed to kill Zhang Wenheng, the governor of Gan Province, and supported Zhu Zhigong, the king of the Ming Dynasty, to launch a rebellion with the call of "opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty".

Now Mi Layin led the troops eastward, Liankeliang Prefecture (now Wuwei), Lanzhou, Shaanxi and Gansu were shaken, and Meng Qiaofang, the governor of Shaanxi Province, had already piled up a few urgent documents.

On this day, I was about to discuss the withdrawal of troops with Wu Sangui, and suddenly news came that He Zhen and Liu Tichun suddenly came out, and now they have occupied NS County to occupy Laojunling, cutting off the meridian road and cutting off the Fu Luo road.

Upon hearing this, Dodor fell from his chair.

Sitting up again, I originally wanted to hear what good attention Wu Sangui had, but who knew that this traitor actually said: "Uncle Regent, now our army only has a mountain road, if this slope is cut off again, my 100,000 army is afraid that there is no way back, and Haoge was killed by Yang Xuan in this way." ”

Duoduo shook his teeth fiercely and said, "King Pingxi, what do you say?"

Wu Sangui said with a smile: "Prince Yu, what a hero Zhuge Wuhou was that day, as long as Sima Yi guarded the valley mouths, didn't Zhuge Liang die of illness in the end?"

A few years ago, Gao Yingxiang turned Daming upside down, didn't that Sun Chuanting block the valley mouth and capture it?

Prince Yu, Nikan invited us to enter Hanzhong that day, that was because Nanzheng was still in the hands of our Qing Dynasty, and now Yang Xuan has captured Nanzheng and confronted our army on both sides of the Han River, and now the fighter plane has been lost.

Duoduo sighed and said fiercely: "Yang Xuan has continuously killed my Great Qing Father, Grandpa Beile, it's really annoying and hateful, I want to rob the local people and move to Guanzhong, how about it?" ”

Wu Sangui was shocked and stopped again and again: "Prince, if this is the case, we may have to be buried in this place of Hanzhong." ”

Duoduo looked quite puzzled and said: "King Pingxi, our army has a defeated banner, Guanning soldiers and horses, and the strength is several times that of Yang Xuan, we can retreat calmly, how do you say that we will be buried in this land of Hanzhong?" ”

Wu Sangui shook his head and said, "Prince Yu, how did Yang Xuan seize NS County to control this Fu Luo Dao, mainly because of those rogues."

These rogues live in this Shangluo mountain area all the year round, crossing mountains and mountains as if walking on flat ground.

Prince, if it is said that the soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners are invincible in the world on the plains, then these people are also invincible in the mountains in the world.

If Yang Xuan hears that we are going to plunder the people and return to Guanzhong, he will definitely send men and horses to intercept the Bao Slope Road, my lord, once the Bao Slope Road is broken, my 100,000 troops are afraid of being buried in this valley.

Duoduo could no longer delay, and immediately ordered Wu Sangui to lead his troops to break off, and he commanded the army to rise up and flee to Guanzhong.
