Qishan camp

On the road from Yangping Pass to Qishan, a huge army of soldiers and horses is moving rapidly, but it is not known from their banners, only a banner of Shu Han is fluttering, and the other generals do not have their own numbers, as if they are hiding something, but they can know that they are the army of Shu Han.

Moreover, because of the avenue, they marched very fast, and they had to be half a beat faster than Zhao Yun who was marching in the Baoxie Valley; A white horse in the army, standing imposingly, and sitting on the horseback is actually Liu Bei, who swore in Hanzhong, with a double-strand sword on his waist, at this time he was full of spirit, and it seemed that the battle would be won and the attack would be won.

It turned out that this was the real army of Shu Han, led by Liu Bei himself, ready to cover up his unpreparedness by surprise, and directly take the three counties of Longxi, Nan'an, and Tianshui, and then wait for the news of Chang'an; If Wei Yan, the governor of Pingbei, raided Chang'an City, he would wave his army to the east, and if Wei Yan failed, he would wave his army to the west to take Liangzhou first, and then to Guanzhong.

At dusk, the army stopped and prepared to set up its tent for the night's camp; Liu Bei also slowly dismounted and found a quiet place to rest, the army had set off from Hanzhong for nearly twenty days, and it was only less than three days away from Qishan.

"Your Majesty, we will arrive at Qishan in less than three days, and as soon as Qishan passes, the army will be exposed to the sight of Wei, and the Wei army will also come to its senses and mobilize a large army to stop our army" Zhuge Qiao slowly approached Liu Bei with a feather fan and said, but there was a little more joy in his eyes;

According to the front report: the Wei army is still mobilizing troops to block Zhao Yun in Yiguo City, the 30,000 cavalry sent by Cao Pi to send the vanguard Zhang Jaw has arrived in Yiguo City, and the 100,000 troops of Wei General Cao Zhen are also on the way to Yiguo City.

"I don't know where Zilong is, he is now facing nearly several times Cao Wei's elite soldiers" Liu Bei's mind was not in front of him, but worried about Zhao Yun in Baoxie Valley.

It was also a helpless move to agree to Zhao Yun's proposal at the beginning, because Zhao Yun was a general of the Five Tigers, and he was very prestigious in Shu Han, and only by using him could Cao Wei be convinced, but in this way, Zhao Yun's safety would be sacrificed, and how could Liu Bei not worry.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much, there is a place at the mouth of the valley of Baoxie Valley, calling Fengming Mountain, Zilong only needs to retreat to Fengming Mountain, which is a strategic place that can be attacked and defended, and the minister has already made it clear to Zilong when he set out on the expedition, and Zilong is not a reckless person, and he will definitely lose it" Zhuge Liang said slowly, as if all this was under his control.

As soon as the words fell, Liu Bei was slightly relieved.

"Your Majesty, the minister is only worried about one thing now," Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan and said slowly.

"What is the military advisor worried about?" Liu Bei asked with some curiosity.

"The 10,000 strange soldiers led by Wei Yan, the governor of Pingbei, are always worried that they will be plotted by the Wei army; After all, the Meridian Valley is too dangerous, and Chang'an City is not an ordinary county county, but the capital of the Han Dynasty for nearly two hundred years, the city wall is high and thick, not to mention 10,000 soldiers, even 100,000 troops may not be able to take Chang'an City" Zhuge Liang said with some frustration, and the Chang'an city wall is as tall and thick as Zhuge Liang said.

"Don't the military advisors believe in their son Bo Song," Liu Bei said jokingly,

"It's child's fun to attack Chang'an City, Bo Song is too shallow in the world, I just hope that this time I can let him know that on the battlefield, he must think twice before acting, and he can't go his own way" Zhuge Liang sighed, as if he had never trusted Zhuge Qiao's ability, just like he had never trusted Wei Yan, but the two people he had always distrusted have now come together, and the route is not the same as him.

Listening to Zhuge Liang's sigh, Liu Bei did not answer, because he knew that Zhuge Qiao would not let him down, just like the battle of Jingzhou or the military parade in Chengdu, he would definitely bring him the same ending.

The army had already set up its tents, because on their own territory, all of them were not arranged according to the so-called formation, but they had placed their sentry horses far away just in case.

At this time, the Shuhan camp had a total of 170,000 troops, but the troops were not the ones before the parade. At Zhuge Liang's suggestion, Liu Bei transferred 5,000 Ji Han troops, trained the Zhuge crossbow developed by Huang Yueying, and formed a 5,000 crossbow army to deal with the sophisticated cavalry of Wei, and was given the name "Lian Crossbowman"; In addition, Pu Yuan, the most outstanding weapon forging master of this era, specially created 5,000 war knives for Liu Bei to equip the military, and Liu Bei drew out the most elite 5,000 Jingzhou troops and trained with Pu Yuan's war knives, and was given the name "Divine Sword Soldier".

This army has the excitement of the old man sending the banner of death when he swore to the army, and it also has Zhuge Qiao's deliberately circulated "From the Army" spread in Yizhou, "Rather be a centurion, better than a scholar." This sentence pierced the hearts of the people; And with the heroic Liu Bei of this era, and the military advisor known as Wolong, this army can now be said to have the momentum of never breaking Chang'an and never returning.

The army continued to move forward, and finally arrived at the first destination of the expedition three days later, 'Qishan'; although Qishan is Zhuge Liang's sad place, it is returned to history, and perhaps it is not the case for Liu Bei.

On the day of arriving at Qishan, the army began to camp under Zhuge Liang's arrangement, Qishan is different from Shudi, which is already the border of Han and Wei, so naturally the military camp cannot be arranged at will like Shudi, but the Qishan camp is arranged according to Zhuge Liang's arrangement.

The big tent of the Chinese army was slowly raised; Liu Bei gathered all the senior generals who went out with the army this time, and prepared to discuss the next marching policy.

"Big brother, I want Lao Zhang to say, you give me 20,000 soldiers, as long as 20,000 soldiers, I Lao Zhang will definitely capture the whole county of Longxi" Before Liu Bei could open his mouth, Zhang Fei jumped out, and a burst of saliva sprayed.

In fact, the current Zhang Fei is no longer the stunned young man he was at the beginning; And the 20,000 soldiers he just said to take the whole mirror of Longxi did not have any exaggeration, because the total number of troops that could be mobilized in Yongzhou was only 30,000, and the rest were just ordinary county soldiers.

Longxi County is close to the Qiang people and also close to the Shu Han people; There were only 5,000 soldiers in the county, and it was reasonable for Zhang Fei to capture it with 20,000 soldiers and horses.

"Yi De is not in a hurry, the military advisor has already set up a subordinate, and listen to the military advisor," Liu Bei said helplessly, and set his eyes on Zhuge Liang's body.

"Our army sent troops at this time, with the intention of taking it by surprise, and now General Zilong has held most of the Wei army in Baoxie Valley, and it is the defenseless Yongzhou in front of our army; However, the fighter plane is fleeting, and our army must fight quickly, and we must not let the Wei army relax and 、、、"

"Strategist, just hurry up and assign tasks," Zhang Fei interrupted Zhuge Liang before he finished speaking, and there was another burst of foam.

[In "The Biography of Pu Yuan", it is said: Pu Yuan is whimsical by nature. When he was in the Slope Valley, he forged three thousand sabers for Zhuge Liang's troops. After the knife was made, he said that Han water was soft water and could not be used for quenching (one of the manufacturing processes); The water of the Shu River is hard water, which is the essence of metal. This distinction is predestined by God. So he sent someone to Chengdu to fetch river water. (After coming back) Pu Yuan took the water quenching knife he retrieved, saying that it was mixed with Fujiang water, which was not suitable for quenching. The person who took the water insisted that it was not mixed with other water, so Pu Yuan took a knife and scratched it in the water, saying that it was mixed with eight liters of Fujiang water. When the man who fetched the water heard this, he prostrated and said that when he came to the Fujiang River, he knocked over the water. Therefore, eight liters of Fujiang water were added on the spot. 】
