"Come on, come on~ The old general will sit down and bake the fire for a while, and when Xu Yuanzhi comes out, won't all the mysteries be clear?" Yan Pu stood up to make room for Huang Zhong and beckoned him to sit down and wait.

Huang Zhong couldn't help but snort, and said in his heart: "What secret mission can this kid have?" Attacking Jiameng Pass is the right thing! Young offspring is a bit unreliable! “

At this time, Xu Shu finally came out of the back hall, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and saw that Huang Zhong was also there, Xu Shu greeted warmly: "General Huang is also here!" Just in time, I'm just going to talk to a few people about something! ”

Huang Zhong saw Xu Shu wearing a azure scholar's robe? Elegant and extraordinary, where is there still half a point of downfall. If it weren't for Xu Shu's emaciated face and undried water stains on his hair, Huang Zhong would have suspected that Zhang Ren and Yan Pu were using themselves for fun just now.

"Yuan Zhi, what are you doing here? It's been a few months since I left, and I can't catch your shadow when I come back a few times in the middle. Huang Zhong said earnestly, "If you have any dissatisfaction with Liu Yizhou and Zhang Hanzhong, you might as well say it directly." Everyone is working for the imperial court, how can they abolish public ...... because of private interests?"

Although Xu Shu was physically tired, he was in good spirits. He ignored Huang Zhong's broken thoughts, took a bowl of water from the hands of the guards, and dried it in one go, wiped his mouth, and breathed a long sigh of relief before he sat down and said, "The old general misunderstood!" Is Xu Shu a narrow-minded person? To tell you the truth, I have been ordered by the general to explore a new way to enter Shuzhong in the past few months! ”

When Huang Zhong, Zhang Ren, and Yan Pu heard this, they couldn't help but get up at the same time and said, "The general has a way to break through the Meng Pass?" ”

Xu Shu shook his head with a smile and said: "There is no way to break through the Jiameng Pass, but there is a way to break into Bashu and seize Chengdu." ”

Huang Zhong was stunned for a moment and asked: "Since ancient times, there is a road into Sichuan, if you don't break the Jiameng Pass, how can you enter Shuzhong?"

The guards filled Xu Shu with a bowl of water, Xu Shu took a big sip, and ordered: "Submit my map!" ”

The guards quickly went to the back tent and came back with a map made of cowhide tanning and hung it in the big tent of the Chinese army.

"No one is allowed to go thirty steps near the horde! Violators, behead! ”

When the guards heard Xu Shu's order, they all drew out their sabers at their waists and lay outside the big tent door. Looking at this posture, Yan Pu and Zhang Ren couldn't help muttering in their hearts: This method of entering the river looks very dangerous!

Xu Shu didn't speak, but dipped his hard pen in ink and drew a line on the map.

This line is not from Jiameng Pass to Bashu, but to bypass the Yinping Road out of Hanzhong Deyang Pavilion, and then go straight to Chengdu, around Jiameng Pass and Zitong, until the Guanghan town of Jiangyou.

When Huang Zhong, Zhang Ren, and Yan Pu saw it, they couldn't help but gasp, looked at each other, and said in their hearts: "What kind of ghost route is this?" “

Xu Shu also ignored them and explained: "We don't go through Jiameng Pass, we go deep into the mountains around the Dajian Pass, pass through Mage Mountain, and enter Guanghan. In the past few months, I have asked many local mountain people. From this road, you can go straight to Jiangyou. Jiangyou is an important town in Bashu, and now that Liu Bei's army is pressed on Zitong's side, Jiangyou must be empty. We occupied Jiangyou and took an elite army to attack Fuguan, creating the illusion of a heavy attack on Chengdu. Chengdu is the foundation of Yizhou, and Liu Bei had to come back to help. At that time, as soon as the Zitong defenders move, the defense of Jiameng Pass will be empty. Several generals led troops to attack Jiameng Pass, and the army that attacked Fuxian County also returned to attack the Sword Pavilion behind Jiameng Pass. Once the Jiameng Pass and the Sword Pavilion are broken, there is no barrier in Guanghan. Guanghan is down, the door of Shuzhong is wide open, and Chengdu is not just around the corner! ”

Xu Shu's plan is perfect, but the danger in it is terrifying just to hear it. Yan Pu is a native of Bashi County, Yizhou, next to Guanghan, knowing the difficulties of the Shu Road in this area of Guanghan, frowning and saying: "Yinping paths, all high mountains and steep mountains, if the Shu army with more than 100 people to guard the danger, then the army into Shu will be cut off." I'm afraid it's ......."

"But the question is, who's going to pay attention to this place?"

Huang Zhong is a native of Nanyang, and he doesn't know too much about the dangers of Shu Dao, but he also shook his head and sighed: "It's too dangerous, it's too dangerous......"

"A few generals, since ancient times, how can there be a reason not to be dangerous in this march and war? Liu Bei is steady, Zhang Fei is brave, Xun You is scheming, if he storms Jiameng Pass, our army will inevitably suffer heavy losses. And it takes a lot of time. Now, Liu Bei has not long occupied Shuzhong, and the people's hearts are not stable. If Liu Bei completely subdues Yizhou, the opportunity for a surprise attack will also be gone! ”

"You ......" Yan Pu wanted to speak, but was stopped by Zhang Ren.

"In my opinion, Yuan Zhi's plan is feasible." Zhang Ren pondered for a moment. got up and said: "Some time ago, I heard my lord say that there are still a few loyal people in Shu who are unwilling to serve Liu Bei, and I hope that the lord can recover Yizhou day and night. Ren Bucai, willing to lead the 20,000 Yizhou soldiers under his command to take the Yinping path into Shuzhong, Yuan Zhi said well, the fighter plane is fleeting...... It's not impossible to take risks these days! General Huang, Yan Gongcao, what do you two think?

Huang Zhong nodded: "If you can find someone to respond in Shu, then you might as well give it a try." Lord Yan and I are here to feint on Jia Meng Pass to attract your attention. ”

Xu Shu opened his mouth and said, "I am willing to go with General Zhang." ”

"Yuan Zhi is the chief general of the coalition army, how can he take risks lightly?" Yan Pu objected.

"Jia Meng Pass is guarded by General Huang Lao, assisted by Yan Gongcao, there is no difference between me and not! However, as for the Yinping Trail, I have collected the most information and experience, and I will lead the way in front, and General Zhang will set up a battalion every hundred miles behind him, even if he encounters the enemy, he will not be too damaged. ”

Xu Shu said it very reasonably, but Zhang Ren and the others couldn't find a suitable reason to refute him, so they acquiesced.

"Then I'll go and ask for a token and a secret letter now, and when I get to Shuzhong, I can contact those loyal people and rebel against Liu Bei together!" Zhang Ren said that he was going to see Liu Zhang.

Xu Shu stopped him and said, "Don't worry! We take advantage of this time to build more straw sandals, straw ropes, axes and chisel tools, etc., and at the same time, we need to wait for someone! ”

"Waiting for someone?" Zhang Ren and the others were puzzled, "Who are you waiting for?" ”

"An important person! It will be ten months or two months, and the man will come! Xu Shu said firmly, "Who it is, I can't hide it, I also want to know, but the general didn't say it explicitly!" ”

"General? The general also knows your plan to take the Yin Ping Path? Huang Zhong asked in surprise.

"Of course! If it weren't for the general's reminder, how could I have spent so much energy exploring this legendary ancient road? Xu Shu said with a smile.

Yan Pu asked, "Has the general ever been to Hanzhong?" ”

Xu Shu shook his head: "As far as I know, no." ”

Yan Pu and Huang Zhong looked at each other, and said with heartfelt emotion: "The general is really a god!" ”
