Chapter Eighty-Four: Qingniling (3)

The sky was bright, the sun had just jumped out of the mountains, as if inlaid with a golden ripple for the mountains, the morning in the mountains was a little cool, the mist condensed into dew, and the green grass leaves slowly dripped down the leaves, moistening the land.

The army shuttled in the fog between the mountains in the early morning, and the subtle sonorous sound of the collision of the ironclad blades when walking shook and clanged, and the footsteps of the stumbling footsteps, although there were many people and horses, but because of the march for a day, everyone did not speak at the moment, and the empty canyon and secluded road were very quiet, and even the sound of stepping on broken branches while walking could be heard clearly, even if the large number of troops kept quiet, but the small ones became big, or broke the silence of the past, alarmed the creatures in the forest near and far, and "fluttered". Frightened the birds that had been perched peacefully on the branches of the trees.

Chen Xu rode on a war horse, occasionally looking back at the rear to check the march of the large army. Except for the 1,000 men and horses stationed in Guzhen, the rest of the horses were all brought out by Chen Xu, and there were 5,000 people, arranged in a long queue, and the end could not be seen at a glance.

This trail is the road that the hawkers and mountain people walked out, the other roads into Shu are general, rugged, inconvenient to ride a horse, but after all, it is a mountain trail, not like the official road in general, there is a special repair by the government, some places are this side of the road and the other side is a cliff, the bottom is the rushing river, a little careless there is the possibility of falling, death without a place to be buried, but it is so dangerous, but even the fence and other protective measures have not been built, so I have to slow down and walk slowly.

Even Chen Xu, when he encountered this situation, he would choose to dismount and let his own soldiers help him lead the war horse.

This Road Rover has been marching for a day, and after this period of day and night, it is not far from the destination, and Qingniling is in sight.

I asked the guide who had already walked the white water road, and estimated that there was still more than half an hour to go.

Seeing this, Chen Xu ordered the soldiers of all departments to stop for the time being, not take off their clothes, rest on the spot, and eat something to cushion their stomachs first. At the end of this day, in order to reach the destination as soon as possible, the Shu army was attacked from behind, and in order to save time, everyone did not stop to make a fire and make food, even on the road, they ate dry food with water. Even if the conditions were so poor, the soldiers of the Hujie Army did not complain and did not say a word, Chen Xu guessed, maybe this is one of the differences between an elite division and a rabble. Obedience to commands, obedience to orders, in these perennial battle-hardened warriors is already a consensus, deeply rooted in the blood.

It has been two days since the scouts detected the reinforcements of the Shu army, and it has been a day since they came back to say goodbye, and now they are leading the army to march along the trail for a day. Two days is not a long time, but the fighter plane is changing rapidly and fleetingly. However, Chen Xu guessed that this opportunity was still there, first of all, the Shu army could not think of a small road that could detour to their backs, and then after learning that the Wei army occupied Guzhen, the Shu army reinforcements were unable to start for a while, and it was very likely that they had not yet made countermeasures.

Of course, there are other possibilities.

Since Master Qingniling knows this path too well, it is inevitable that no one else will know about it, and if it is known by the Shu army, there is a high probability that he will send troops to garrison this path to avoid being attacked by the Wei army.

There are countless possibilities, intertwined, intertwined, transformed into each other, and produced countless changes.

Wealth and danger are sought!

Isn't it exactly what you want now!

The soldiers under his command also want to seek a wealth immediately, and they came all the way to Shudi, and now they endure the hardships on the way, without saying a word, and when they arrive here, they are ready to fight for a future for themselves and a future for their families!

Fortunately, things did not develop in the worst direction that Chen Xu expected.

The Shu army didn't know that there was a small road in the White Water Road that could detour back to the back of Qingniling, and they didn't expect that the Wei army would want to surprise them through the trail, and they would be able to arrive in less than half a day from where they were!

At this time, the Northern Route Army of Shu had already set up camp near the location of the Qingniling Post House.

A big man with a majestic face and a strong physique walked back and forth, with a worried look on his face from time to time, and this big man was none other than Li Tinggui, the leader of the Northern Route Army of Shu State. Following the capture of Weiwu City and the fall of Guzhen, the defenders of Tangcang Town attacked Huanghua Valley and wanted to cut off the Wei army's grain route, but they were defeated by the Fengxiang soldiers of the Wei Army's Western Expeditionary Army, and the Shu army stationed in Malingzhai and Baijian was defeated in turn, and the Wei army captured thousands of Shu troops.

Not only that, the Western Expeditionary Army in the direction of Qinzhou also made progress in the training department, and a series of failures caused some high-level leaders of the Shu army to lose their fighting spirit and retreat.

In the second year of Xuande, March 22.

The Shu army's Xiongwu Festival made Han Jixun abandon Qinzhou and flee back to Sichuan. On the second day, the observation of the Shu army made Zhao Wei think that it was hopeless to defend the city, so he went out of the city gate and led the city to surrender.

At this point, Qinzhou was acquired by the Wei Dynasty.

But things have not stopped developing, and the fall of Qinzhou has produced a series of bad chain reactions, like dominoes, and Chengzhou and Jiezhou, which are controlled by Shu, have also been captured by the Wei army in turn.

Now only Fengzhou is still struggling.

But what can be expected is that if the situation continues to develop like this, the Fengzhou Festival Envoy will not be able to support it for long.

Now Li Tinggui is worried about this matter, three of the four northern states have fallen, although there is still Fengzhou holding on, but now his northern aid is equivalent to a lone army in depth, and he needs to fight alone, and he has to face the various departments of the Wei army, which are far superior to the Northern Route Army in terms of strength, and are surrounded and killed by the enemy like dumplings.

At this time, Li Tinggui was in front of a mess, there was nowhere to start, a good game of chess, and now he has played like this, but he still has to do everything he can to try his best to save, is there such a hard thing in the world!

"Hateful!" Li Tinggui slapped one hand on the pillar viciously, gritted his teeth and said, the strength of his hand was so great that even the thick pillar was shocked, as if he was trembling.

"Chen Du, his subordinates found the ashes of the grass and trees left by the Shu army stationed ten miles away, and the time interval was not too long, about a day."

Chen Xubu has already gone out of Baishui Road, and got the news that he has found the traces of the Shu army, the target is in sight, and a battle is about to start.

The war is coming, but the soldiers in the Hujie army are not much nervous, but their faces are very excited, they have walked so many ways, isn't it just to fight this battle!

Since entering Shu, a series of victories, and rushing to a long way, just in order to fight the reinforcements of Shu, the soldiers don't say anything, but they are full of strength in their hearts, and they urgently need an outlet to vent out!
