Chapter 578: Divine Soldiers Descend from the Sky
I have to say that this time Zhuge Liang's prediction was accurate, Liu He was indeed preparing to smuggle through the Yinping Ancient Road, bypass the Sword Pavilion Shu Road, and attack Jiangyou Pass.
But he missed a little, he didn't expect that the main general of the other party smuggling Yinping was not Huang Zhong, but Liu He personally led the army to go, if he knew this, Zhuge Liang would never only send a Wang Ping to guard the town, but should personally go to the town, and it was the negligence of this point that finally brought the hatred of the dead country to the Shu State!
Yinping Ancient Road is a steep and abnormal mountain road, starting from Yinping County, that is, Huyi Dam in Wenxian County, Gansu Province, until Jiangyouguan, a total length of more than 700 miles, steep and abnormal, or there are many places are dead roads, even the local mountain people, most of them do not know that there is such a road.
Since Liu He had already planned to pass through here, he was naturally fully prepared, and he specially transferred Tian Chou from Jizhou to Chang'an in advance, and secretly ordered him to go out with the army, which was the most important part of it.
Tian Chou's intelligence is not very outstanding, but his skill "Knowing the Way" is the most useful here, because this skill can help Liu He find the Yinping Ancient Road and reach Jiangyou Pass smoothly.
In addition to Tian Chou, the role of Wei Yan and Xu Huang must not be overlooked, Wei Yan's skill is a surprise attack, as long as he is present, coupled with Liu He's wisdom, the army will not be discovered by the enemy in the process of marching, so even if the other party is prepared, it will definitely not be able to find their whereabouts.
What's more, Wei Yan's skills also have effects such as increasing the speed by fifty percent, and the combat power will not be weakened.
And Xu Huang's long-drive skill is also very powerful, in addition to the fact that the combat power will not decrease, which is somewhat duplicative with Wei Yan's skill, the effect of not attrition in the march and the formation will not collapse is also very powerful, and it can definitely have an amazing effect after cooperating with each other.
In addition, Liu He's army also has Lu Meng with the skill of "attacking the heart", Jia Kui with the skill of "building", Yu Kui with the skill of "Tongxuan", Kuai Yue with the skill of "turning the tiger away from the mountain", Zhang He with the skill of "skillful change" and "siege", etc., these talents will play an extremely important role in the war.
The 700-mile road of the Yinping Ancient Road is indeed very difficult, and even some roads do not exist at all, and they still need to be rebuilt, but fortunately, Liu He is full of talents, the quality of the soldiers is high, and all kinds of difficult conditions can be overcome, and in just ten days, he has passed through 700 miles of no man's land, which has caused no attrition, and the speed and efficiency of the march are very amazing!
"Lord, there is an exit not far ahead." Tian Chou, who has the skill of "knowing the way" and is responsible for leading the way in front, wiped his sweat and said to Liu He.
"Zitai, it's been a hard journey." Tian Chou has been at the forefront all the way, going to any dangerous place, and even once encountered a tiger lurking in the jungle, if it weren't for Xun You, who has the "virtual and real" skills, he would have been buried in the belly of the tiger long ago, so Liu He sighed in his heart and said to Tian Chou.
Tian Chou smiled and said, "What did the lord say?" The lord worked hard for the revival of my Han dynasty, and even risked his life to personally travel through the 700 miles without shouting a word of hard work. ”
Originally, after reluctantly accepting Liu He's canonization, Tian Chou planned to resign from his post in a few years, return to the mountains and forests, and live his own secluded life, but after several years of observation, Tian Chou found that Liu He was indeed a wise and martial, roughly talented monarch, following such a person, it was really a great blessing for him, and at the same time he was ashamed of his failure to work in recent years, Tian Chou decided to do his best to assist Liu He, so this time Liu He went to Shuzhong, Tian Chou was not afraid of hardships and dangers, born and died, He made outstanding contributions to the exploration of the Yinping Ancient Road and made the first contribution.
Liu He is naturally very clear about Tian Chou's change, and he is still very satisfied, or very gratified.
So he gently encouraged Tian Chou a few more words, and then pretended to turn his head and asked Xun You: "Gongda, is there an ambush ahead?" ”
Xun You arched his hand and said: "You Zheng wants to say, there is murderous aura in the dense forest ahead, according to the analysis of the intensity of murderous qi, there should be about five hundred people on the other side, and the locations where they are distributed are in ....... Judging by their position, it seems that they do not know where the real exit is, and it is only the nature of a patrol post, and it is entirely possible for our troops to annihilate them all as long as they are fully prepared. ”
"Okay, then this matter will be handed over to Gongming, if you leave a person, this king will ask for you." Liu He looked at Xu Huang not far away with a smile and said lightly.
"The lord can rest assured that as long as there is one less person, he will be willing to accept punishment in the end."
Xu Huang bowed his hand to Liu He, and then led his troops and horses to leave.
Xu Huang's efficiency was very high, and it only took one meal to capture all the other party's personnel, and really didn't let them run away.
Liu He then ordered Xu Huang to interrogate the captives, and after interrogation, it was learned that Zhuge Liang already knew that they were about to launch a sneak attack on Jiangyouguan, so he sent Wang Ping to lead 3,000 people to garrison there, not only that, but there were also interconnected beacons around, as long as Liu He's army arrived, the beacon fire of the message would be lit immediately, and at that time, Zhuge Liang would personally lead the army to support.
Liu He listened to those confessions, was silent, and said after a while: "Zhuge Liang is really extraordinary, in this case, he can even guess my intentions, it is a pity if such a talent can't be used by me, and that Wang Ping, although he doesn't know a single big character, but he is familiar with the art of war battle array, calm, and is definitely a talent, of course, compared to the monarchs here, he still has a big gap, I believe that as long as we plan carefully, we will definitely win Jiangyou Pass." ”
After finishing speaking, Liu He glanced at Kuai Yue beside him and said with a smile.
The surrounding generals immediately understood, because they all knew that Kuai Liang's skill was to divert the tiger from the mountain, and it seemed that this time the lord of his family was going to use the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain to seize Jiangyouguan.
Then Liu He ordered Xu Huang to disperse the captives and detain them, and then ordered Xu Huang to do so, Xu Huang immediately followed Liu He's instructions after the order, he has always admired Liu He's strategic level, and now when he heard this, he immediately believed that after such an arrangement, not to mention that it was Wang Ping who guarded Jiangyouguan, even Zhuge Liang could only obediently follow Liu He's design, and helplessly went out of the city.
