Chapter 303: Topographic Map of Western Shu

The news of Liu Yan's serious illness soon spread to Longxian, and as soon as Lu Bu received the news, he urgently summoned his advisers and generals to discuss countermeasures.

They were discussing the important point, and suddenly a guard entered the palace to report, saying that Yang Fu was asking to see him outside the palace.

Yang Fu had disappeared as early as last year when Lu Bu was in Longxian County, as if evaporating in the world like water vapor, even his family didn't know where he went.

So under the leadership of Cheng Lian, Yang Fu walked into the hall with a meteoric stride and saluted Lu Bu on the main seat: "Yang Fu greets the lord!" ”

Lu Bu glanced at Yang Fu and shouted: "Bold Yang Fu, as a Hanyang army, he dared to leave his post without permission, what crime should he be guilty of?" ”

Yang Fu looked at Lu Bu embarrassedly, his mouth squirmed a few times, as if he wanted to explain something, but he thought that he was indeed derelict in his duty to join the army and not help Wei Kang deal with the military and political affairs of Hanyang, so he did not rush to defend himself, but directly admitted his mistake: "Lord, Yang Fu is guilty!" ”

Lu Bu looked at Yang Fu, although he didn't say anything, but he couldn't smile bitterly in his heart, this Yang Fu is also famous, but his current appearance is simply a beggar begging for food, ragged, messy hair, more like a groundhog that has just come out of the mud, covered in mud.

There was silence in the main hall, and everyone's eyes were on Lu Bu, waiting for him to make a decision. Especially Jiang Xu, Yang Fu and him are cousins, this time Yang Fu made a lot of mistakes, he didn't want Lu Bu to punish Yang Fu, if Lu Bu wanted to punish Yang Fu, he would not hesitate to come out to intercede for Yang Fu, even if he lost his official position, it didn't matter.

Lu Bu was silent for a long time. People couldn't guess what he was thinking at this time, and after a long time, he heard Lu Bu say lightly: "Tell me, what have you been doing this year!" ”

Yang Fu didn't answer in a hurry, but cheekily begged Lu Bu: "Lord, can I ask for a glass of water to drink first?" I had a hard time. I'm dying of thirst! ”

Cheng Lian saw Lu Bu nodding, and immediately went down to the council hall to fetch water for Yang Fu, and it didn't take long for Cheng Lian to come back again, holding a bowl of water in his hand.

Yang Fu took it, and after drinking it with a grunt, he wiped his mouth and let out a long breath.

"Lord, I went to Xichuan this year!"

Jia Xu and others heard this. couldn't help but get up at the same time: "You went to Xichuan, what are you doing?" ”

Yang Fu smiled and nodded: "Hu knows that the main guild uses troops against Xichuan, so I have had this idea since the year before last, and it was only implemented last year, the purpose is to give the lord a big gift!" ”

Lu Bujian raised his eyebrows, and said patiently: "What kind of gift?" ”

Yang Fu took a breath, ignored everyone's stunned expressions, stood up and said, "Someone." Present the map! ”

As soon as Yang Fu's words fell, a soldier walked in with a map made of cowhide tanning. hung on the wall of the conference hall, and then, the soldiers of the five battalions were horizontal at the door of the conference hall, blocking the approaching of the idle people, looking at this posture, everyone muttered in their hearts: What is this Yang Yishan going to do!

Yang Fu didn't speak either. Instead, he used a brush dipped in ink to draw a few thin lines on the map, and then gently sketched them together, engrossed in it, like an artist completing his own work.

One of the lines is specially labeled. It was drawn from Yinping to Deyang Pavilion in Hanzhong, and then went straight to Chengdu, bypassing Jiamengguan and Zitong, and arrived at Jiangyou, an important town in Guanghan.

Jia Xu and the others couldn't help but gasp.

Yang Fu said: "Since ancient times, everyone thinks that there is only one way into Sichuan, that is, Jiameng Pass, Hu this time originally only planned to draw the topographic map of the mountains and rivers of Xishu, perhaps it is God's mercy, let me meet a mountain man when I drew Yinping Pass, he told me that in addition to Jiameng Pass, there is a road that can bypass Jiameng Pass, can directly break into Bashu, directly to Chengdu, so under his guidance, after hardships, it finally took a month to get out of Yinping! ”

Yang Fu paused, and then said: "My lord, as well as the generals, after a year of my secret visits, I finally drew a topographic map of Xishu, so when it comes to the actual terrain of Xishu, I have to mention a few places!" ”

Everyone's curiosity was immediately aroused by Yang Fu, and they all turned their eyes to Yang Fu, signaling him not to beat around the bush and say it directly.

Yang Fu smiled: "Lord, do you say that I have made a great contribution!" ”

Lu Bu was a little angry: "I don't know if you made a meritorious service or made a mistake now, I only know that you committed a capital crime after hesitating for a while!" ”

Yang Fu wiped the sweat off his forehead, pointed to the pass on the map and said: "The first place is Yangping Pass, Yangping Pass is bordered by the Qinling Mountains in the north, the Hanjiang River and Bashan in the south, and the Xianhe River in the west is opposite to Zoumaling, and it is located at the Jinniu Road Crossing and the Chencang Road Crossing in the north to Qinlong. Dingjun Mountain and Tiandang Mountain in the north and south of the Hanjiang River are the horns of each other, which is the western gateway of Hanzhong, and it is also the northern frontier of Bashu leading to Guanzhong. ”

Jia Xu said: "The west controls Sichuan and Shu, the north passes through Qinlong, and the pass is close to Jingshan, the front towers the Dingjun, Zhuo Bi, the right side of the white horse, the golden bull, the left arch of the clouds, the hundred zhang, the Han, the black, the embers of the water belt in the middle, the extreme world is dangerous, it is a male pass. Yishan, thank you for your hard work this time! ”

When everyone heard him say this, they immediately understood in their hearts that Yang Fu had been lurking in Sichuan Shu and Hanzhong for the past year, secretly drawing topographic maps of mountains and rivers for Lu Bu, and this gift was indeed very big.

Yang Fu shook his head and smiled, indicating that it was not hard, his Adam's apple moved, and he raised his head to prepare to drink water again, but he found that the bowl was empty, and the water had already been drunk by him in one gulp, and in desperation, he could only put his hand on the map again and prepare to tell everyone the terrain of Xishu again.

But before he could speak, he saw someone hand over a bowl, Yang Fu looked up, and saw Lu Bu looking at himself with a smile: "There is no water, can you drink wine or not!" ”

Yang Fu laughed: "The lord rewards, even if it's poison, I'll drink it!" ”

After finishing speaking, he first thanked him, and then took a drink and drank it all, and after he finished drinking, he didn't forget to smash his mouth, and said to Lu Bu: "Good wine, thank you for the wine!" ”

Lu Bu took the banquet and motioned for him to continue.

Yang Fu did not dare to slack off, pointed to the map and continued: "The second place is called Dingjun Mountain, five hundred miles south of Mianxian County, Hanzhong, belongs to Daba Mountain, its veins enter the flat land from Gaomiaozi, uplift Xiufeng sometimes sits, from Shishanzi to Yuanshanzi, known as "Twelve Consecutive Peaks". There is a big depression in the shape of a natural pot bottom in the south of the mountain, which can be tun ten thousand soldiers, if the lord wins Xichuan, here you can hide 10,000 soldiers, in order to resist the enemy, of course, if the lord wants to attack Xichuan, you should also pay attention to this place of Yangtianwa! ”

Yang Fu finished introducing Dingjun Mountain, and pointed to another place and said: "This is Tiandang Mountain, here is the remaining vein of Qinchuan for eight hundred miles, located at the west end of Hanzhong, and the Dingjun Mountain in the south of Mianxian County is far away, thirty miles north of Mianxian County, the Baizhang slope under the mountain is the entrance of Chencang's old road, as long as the army of the lord attacks Xichuan, you can let Zhao Ang lead the army out of Chencang, hold Tiandang, cut off the retreat of Shu soldiers, and can also block the enemy's Kou realm!" ”

When Gaozu Liu Bang was in Hongmen, he quickly crossed eight hundred miles of Qinchuan to Hanzhong, and used Zhang Liang's strategy to burn the plank road into Shu, in order to show Xiang Yu that he would stay in the Hanzhong fiefdom forever and not return to Guanzhong.

Liu Bang after recuperating his strength, he wanted to kill back in Guanzhong, he used Han Xin as a general, using Han Xin's strategy, pretending to rebuild the burned plank road, at the same time, the main army detoured to Huaili via Chencang Road, and then went east to Chang'an, and caught Zhang Han, one of the three Qins, off guard, which is also famous all over the world: Ming Xiu plank road dark Chen Cang.

After seeing that everyone understood, Yang Fu continued: "This is Dasanguan, which belongs to the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, is located in the southern suburbs of Huaili, connects the tributaries of the Wei River in the north, and the upper source of the Jialing River in the south, also known as the Kuo Valley, has been the "throat of Sichuan and Shaanxi" since ancient times, and Han Xin's "Ming Xiu Plank Road, Secretly Crossing Chencang" passes through this, and it is one of the four major gateways in Guanzhong. ”

"The name of this place is Wuzhangyuan, about 300 miles south of Qishan County, west of Maili River, east of the Stone River, south of Qinling, north of Weishui, the terrain is dangerous to attack and defend, it is more than 40 zhang high, 50 miles wide from east to west, about 100 miles long from north to south, Wuzhang was originally the outlet of the inclined valley."

This is Qishan, located in the east of Wuduli County, the north side of the West Han River, from the north of the west to the east of Lucheng, extremely strict, there is a base in the south of the city three miles, a stone lonely mountain in the Pingchuan on the north side of the West Han River, dozens of zhang high around the Xu, such as cutting on all sides, high and strange.

"Finally, there is Micang Mountain, which is the border between Xichuan and Wudu, west of Motianling, east of Daba Mountain, Han River and Jialing River divide water, and it is also the main road to Shu!"

Yang Fu took a long breath: "If the lord attacks Xichuan, we don't go to Jiameng Pass, bypass the Dajian Pass and go deep into the mountains, from the Ma Ge Mountain into Guanghan, I have asked many local mountain people this year, from this road can reach Jiangyou, Jiangyou is an important town in Bashu, now Liu Zhang is critically ill, I am afraid that I will not be stationed here to guard the soldiers and horses, we just need to occupy Jiangyou, take an elite straight attack on Pei County, resulting in a pinching attack on Chengdu, Zitong and Langzhong defenders, will definitely go to the rescue, when the time comes, the Jiameng Pass guards must be empty, If I wait for two pinching strikes, Brazil will fall into my hands, and Chengdu will not be broken in a few days! ”

Chen Gong frowned: "Yinping paths, all high mountains and mountains, if the Shu army guards the danger with 100 people, then the return road of the army into Shu will be cut off, I'm afraid!" ”

Xu Shu shook his head: "Sir, Yang Senjun is right, I'm afraid no one will pay attention to this place!" ”

Chen Gong had already done research on the mountains and rivers of Bashu, and shook his head lightly: "Too dangerous, too dangerous!" ”

Cheng Yu said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, since ancient times, this march and war, how can there be a reason not to be dangerous, I think this plan is feasible!" ”

While the strategists were arguing, Lu Bu was staring at the map drawn by Yang Fu, and for a moment, he only heard him say categorically: "Pass my general order, let Gan Ning, Zhang Liao, and Yan Xing come to Longxian immediately!" (To be continued......)
