Chapter 158: Chen Cang Road
After turning over the boulder, Zhao Yun was surrounded by hundreds of soldiers at this time, but he was as calm as ever, the silver spear in his hand was like a long snake, and he didn't know when he wanted the lives of those soldiers around him.
At this time, the soldiers who were lying in ambush on the mountain peak saw that the road had been blocked, and they did not continue, but hurried down the mountain and ran towards the plank road, because they knew that such a blockage could not be blocked, and they had to make a more desperate move.
After another rush, although many enemy troops climbed over the stone wall and killed them, looking at the ancient plank road that was close at hand, Ma Fu felt that Li Dao and Guo Yan were no longer able to return to the sky!
"Kill! Kill me! ”
When the boulder was finally moved away by their army, Li Dao and Guo Yan looked at the horseman, Zhao Yun and others who had already stood on the ancient plank road, and shouted hoarsely.
Jia Xu hurriedly said: "Don't chase it!" Otherwise, the lives of the soldiers will be ruined in vain! ”
But where can Li Dao and Guo Yan listen to it at this time. Looking at the horsemen and others who were retreating while fighting, Li Dao and Guo Yan felt that they still had a chance.
The ancient plank road hangs on the cliff, and when you look down, you can't see the ground, which is very scary.
Li Dao and Guo Yan's army walked on the swaying plank road, frightened, where did they dare to stride forward.
Li Dao and Guo Yan met in the back, and did not hesitate to cut down the soldiers to urge them to advance.
But when tens of thousands of them all stepped on the plank road, the plank road shook more and more.
"Retreat! Retreat! They're going to ruin the plank road! Jia Xu shouted heartbreakingly.
And Li Dao and Guo Yan suddenly realized at this time that although Ma Fu and the others had always been in front of the army, they couldn't catch them no matter what, they were obviously using themselves as bait.
When Li Dao and Guo Yan shouted for the army to withdraw, they only heard a loud noise, as if the ground was sinking, and the plank road was sinking directly.
"Ah...... Yes...... Ah......h
The screams echoed through the valley, like purgatory on earth.
After seeing the scene in front of him, Li Wei knelt on the ground with a thud, while Guo Yan sat directly on the ground.
Hatred can blind people, and tragedy can easily lead people to fall deeper into hatred......
The lesson of tens of thousands of soldiers' blood undoubtedly made Li Dao and Guo Yan remember this ancient plank road, this endless ancient plank road.
Jia Xu was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "Since Mafu has retreated into Hanzhong, this means that Hanzhong has fallen into his hands, and we must go back to explain this matter to Dong Xiang as soon as possible." ”
Li Wei sighed and said: "The army of more than 50,000 people has not taken the horseman, what kind of face do I have to go back to see Dong Xiang?" ”
"Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge! General, don't lose your fighting spirit because of this! If there is chaos today, the two generals are Dong Xiang's right-hand men! I also hope that the two generals will be able to mourn and change. ”
Li Wei stood up, looked at Jia Xu and said, "It's all because the two of us didn't listen to Mr. to make the army suffer heavy losses, it's really an unforgivable crime." ”
Jia Xu said: "It's useless to talk too much now, for the sake of today's plan, we should clean up the mess as soon as possible." But let me ask you more, do the two generals want to make up for their mistakes? ”
When Li Dao and Guo Yan heard this, they hurriedly said, "Come on!" ”
Jia Xu said: "Now that Ma Fu has retreated to Hanzhong, if we wave our army to destroy Ma Teng, wouldn't it be a great achievement to eliminate Dong Xiang's henchmen?" ”
When Li Dao heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "This plan is very good!" If we go back like this, we will definitely be punished heavily! But if Ma Teng is killed and then goes back, the situation is not necessarily the case. ”
Guo Yan said: "Just do it, immediately pass my general's order, and order the army to withdraw to Anyi after a little adjustment!" ”
It is said that after the groom returned to Nanzheng with Zhao Yun and Yun Ying, except for the ambush soldiers sent by Yang Fu, there were only ten cavalry around the groom.
Seeing that they had returned safely, Yang Fu and the others hurriedly greeted them: "The lord has been able to return safely, God bless me and wait!" ”
Just as the groom was about to say something, Zhao Yun, who was standing next to him, suddenly spat blood from his mouth and fainted directly to the ground.
The groom was shocked and hurriedly asked Yang Fu to call the doctor.
After the doctor helped Zhao Yun check his pulse and changed the medicine for his wound, he said to the horseman: "He was injured before, and this time the wound recurred, and his vitality was greatly damaged, I am afraid that he will have to rest for a long time to recover as before!" ”
Ma Fu said: "No matter what, you have to let General Zhao wake up as soon as possible, otherwise I will ask you!" ”
The doctor said: "This time I will do my best, at least one day, at most two or three days, as for whether he can wake up as soon as possible, it depends on himself!" ”
After hearing this, the horseman said to a few slaves and maids around him: "You must take good care of General Zhao, if he has any situation, report to me immediately!" ”
After the order, the horseman came to the Taishou Mansion and summoned Guo Jia, Yang Fu, Yan Yan, Shi Sun Rui and others: "Now that General Yin has not returned, and the plank road has been destroyed, what should I do?" ”
Yang Fu said: "I have already sent someone Qiao to disguise himself as an ordinary person from Yizhou to the direction of Anyi to look for it, presumably there will be news soon." As for the destroyed plank road, as long as Li Dao and Guo Yan's army retreats, we will rebuild the plank road and then send heavy troops to guard it, so Dong Zhuo will not want to set foot in Hanzhong even if he has a million troops. ”
Ma Fu said: "This matter will be handed over to the military division, and the casualties will be counted immediately, and the families of the dead soldiers will be treated kindly." If the people of Xiping and Jincheng come to vote, they must be treated favorably. ”
After Yang Fu wrote down what the horse husband said one by one, he said to him: "In this battle, Feng Xiaoju has made great contributions, and he also came up with the plan to send troops to ambush and burn the plank road!" ”
Ma Fu smiled and said to Guo Jia: "Thank you, sir!" ”
Guo Jia suddenly made a move, and said to the horse groom seriously: "I hope the general will forgive me for Guo's rudeness before!" ”
Ma Fu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized, and quickly got up from his seat, walked in front of Guo Jia, took his hand and said, "Sir, do you mean that you want to stay in Hanzhong?" ”
Guo Jia smiled slightly: "Guo is just apologizing for Guo's previous rudeness, and I hope the general will not misunderstand." ”
The groom sighed in frustration, but immediately added: "It doesn't matter if Mr. is unwilling to stay in the end, but I hope that Mr. can live in Hanzhong for a while longer, and Mafu still has many things to ask." ”
"I wonder what questions the general has? As long as Guo knows, he must tell him all. ”
Ma Fu said: "I heard what Mr. said before, Ma felt that Mr. knew Hanzhong very well, so Ma wanted to ask Mr., how much is the plank road in Hanzhong?" How should we deploy our troops in the future? ”
After Guo Jia heard this, he laughed and said: "Actually, the plank road that I went to check with the general was called 'Bao Slope Road', and I wanted to talk to the general about this plank road in detail, but because the front line was urgent, the general was urgently needed to pick them up, so Guo didn't have time to say it." Today, in front of all the generals, Guo will tell me everything I know, and if there are any shortcomings, I hope you will give me more advice. ”
After the groom let everyone sit on the seats, Guo Jia said: "In fact, there are nearly ten plank roads in Hanzhong, which are uniquely endowed and can be called 'natural dangers', as long as the general can make good use of these plank roads, it is the princes of the world who will come together to attack Hanzhong, and they will not want to step into Hanzhong half a step." Among the nearly ten plank roads, there are four ancient roads that are the most famous, one of which is 'Chencang Road', also known as 'Old Road', so the northern section of the road starts from Chencang County, hence the name. And because of the water along the old road, it is also called the old road. This road arose about the time of Yin Zhou, and Qin placed the old Dao county in the northern section of this road. Chencang Road enters the Qinling Mountains from Yimen Town, goes south along the Qingjiang River, and crosses the Dasan Pass. Dasanguan is one of the four passes in Guanzhong, located in the southwest of Chencang 52 miles on the Dasanling, is the west gate of Guanzhong. The two mountains of Dasanling are absolutely controlled, and the situation is dangerous, and it is the hole that must be passed into the river. During the period of north-south confrontation in history, it was particularly important to control this channel. Because Dasanguan 'chokes the north-south traffic, the north can't do this, there is no way to Qiliang (Hanzhong) Yi (Yizhou), the south can't do this, there is no way to pass the Guanzhong'. In the Great War of the North, both sides had to fight to control the Dasanguan Pass and occupy favorable terrain to defeat the other side. Dasanguan is not only sandwiched between two mountains but also occupies the highest place of the north-south road, and there is a tendency to build on the north and south sides, and the soldiers must fight, and the situation dictates. ”
Yan Yan couldn't help but sigh after hearing Guo Jia say this: "Yan has been in Yizhou for many years, and he has never had such a detailed understanding of Chen Cangdao, and the erudition of Mr. really makes me wait for ...... dust."
Guo Jia said with a smile: "The old general has won the award." Now the Great Scattered Pass is owned by Liu Zhang, and if we want to take the Great Scattered Pass at present, I am afraid it will be a little difficult. ”
Yan Yan said: "Sooner or later, the Great Scattered Pass will be owned by us, this is not in a hurry." According to Yan's knowledge, Gaozu took this road when he was still in the Three Qins, so there is a saying that "Ming repairs the plank road and secretly crosses Chen Cang". The river valley through which this road passes is relatively wide, and the dangerous section is relatively few, and it is the most passable one among the Qinling Mountains, but the route is longer, with a length of more than 1,200 miles. If we can find a way to connect Chencang Road and Bao Shute Road as a whole, in the future, the Hanzhong army can attack Guanzhong and Liangzhou, and retreat to protect Guanzhong, which can take advantage of the territory! ”
Guo Jia clapped his hands and praised: "What the old general said is very true! It's just that it is not a simple matter to connect these two plank roads into one, and there must be sufficient manpower, material and financial resources, as far as our current situation is concerned, such conditions are not yet available. ”
After hearing this, Ma Fu laughed and said: "Although this matter cannot be carried out for the time being, please rest assured, General Ben will never let this matter be left for too long!" ”
Guo Jia said with a smile: "If this can be realized, Guanzhong will be equivalent to being in the hands of the general!" ”
Hearing Guo Jia say this, Ma Fu said: "If it weren't for Mr.'s plan, Ma would probably still be guarding Xiping and Jincheng now, Mr.'s grace, Ma really doesn't know how to repay now, please accept Ma's worship!" ”
Seeing this, Guo Jia hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "The general doesn't have to worship me, if you want to worship, just worship the soldiers who died for the general's bloody killing of the enemy......
After hearing what he said, the groom took the generals out and bowed to the north three times, and stood for a long time before returning to the lobby......
