At this time, Liu Ze received a report from the scout, saying that Wu Yi's 90,000 troops did not all rush to the White Emperor, but divided the army of 20,000 and went to Deyang led by Zhang Ren.

This Zhang Ren is really not simple, among the generals in Shuzhong, the only thing Liu Ze is afraid of is Zhang Ren, fortunately Liu Zhang did not reuse Zhang Ren, and did not let Zhang Ren become a general who stands alone, he can only be subservient to Liu Bi and Wu Yi, although Liu Ze is not very clear about the factional disputes within the Sichuan army, but between mediocre bosses and capable subordinates, dirty things must be indispensable, even if Zhang Ren is talented, he can only be hated by his boss and cannot display his talents.

Liu Zhang suddenly appointed Zhang Ren to guard Deyang, Liu Ze was keenly aware that the high-level of the Sichuan army had quietly changed, according to Deyang, it must be Zhang Ren's advice, and Liu Zhang's approval, when everyone's eyes were focused on the White Emperor City, Zhang Ren took precautions to build the Deyang defense line, which is enough to prove that this person's vision is far-reaching and courageous.

However, the division of troops of the Sichuan army has gained a huge opportunity for Liu Ze. According to Liu Ze's original plan, it was to get rid of the pursuing troops at the speed of Tong Guò and make a time difference for the storming of the White Emperor City, and Tong Guò estimated that the Jing army would arrive at the White Emperor five days earlier than the Sichuan army, and Liu Ze must use these five days to do his best to take the White Emperor City, and then fight a decisive battle with Wu Yibu who rushed over.

Five days, only five days! For Liu Ze, this is undoubtedly in a hurry, and the White Emperor City is a dangerous pass on the Xiajiang River. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if the two armies besiege before and after, whether they can take the White Emperor City in this short five days is unknown. The one who guards the White Emperor is Yan Yan, the first general in Sichuan, and he is old. has rich combat experience, and wanting to take the White Emperor City from Yan Yan's hands is tantamount to pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth.

But for Liu Ze, it seems that there is no choice, three crossings of Fushui, repeated use of strange soldiers, the main force of the Sichuan army was transferred out of the eastern Sichuan region, and now there are only 20,000 defenders in Baidi City, which is already a good result. Liu Ze must take advantage of this opportunity to take the White Emperor City, the opportunity must not be lost, and it will not come again.

However, the news of the division of troops in the Sichuan army made Liu Ze have a better idea, and now the Sichuan army that is advancing eastward has one less Zhang Ren, who is the most courageous, and other mediocre people such as Wu Yi and Liu Bi, Liu Ze really didn't take it to heart. Now the Sichuan army is desperately rushing towards the White Emperor City, a long journey. Exhausted, the end of the so-called strong crossbow. Although the Sichuan army has 70,000 people, the long-distance march has already exhausted their fighting spirit, and if the Jing army ambushes the Sichuan army in a dangerous place and waits for work, it can win by surprise.

Encircling points to send reinforcements is also Liu Ze's usual method. But the White Emperor City needs a certain number of troops to besiege it, and the reinforcements are a little stretched, after all, if you want to make dumplings for more than 70,000 Sichuan troops, you also need some courage.

If Wu Yi's reinforcements were eaten, the shape of Chuandong would immediately change. Even if it was the White Emperor, Liu Ze had time to digest it slowly, and he was much more relaxed in time.

Fa Zheng also gave Liu Ze advice: "Wu Yi and Liu Bi only relied on their kinship with Liu Zhang to become a leading general, and they didn't have much ability, and now the pursuit is very urgent, only four or five days away, if the lord can't quickly defeat the White Emperor, he will definitely fall into the predicament of attacking back and forth." Fifteen miles northeast of Qu Ren, there is a canyon, called Qingyang Gorge, it is the only way to pass through the White Emperor, the canyon is long and the terrain is dangerous, why not set up an ambush in this place, give Wu Yi and Liu Bi a head-on attack. As long as Wu Yi and Liu Bi's reinforcements can be defeated, the White Emperor will be a lonely city, and he will be able to take it lightly. ”

The topographical method in Shuzhong is well understood, and the ambush site he proposed Qingyang Gorge is very suitable, and it coincides with Liu Ze's idea, so Liu Ze suspended his advance in Quren, recalled Zhuo Ying, who was fighting guerrillas in eastern Sichuan, and sent an additional infantry brigade to Zhuo Ying, so that he led 6,000 men and horses to continue to advance towards the White Emperor City, and to advance with great fanfare.

Zhuo Ying has a lot of banners and drums in his hands, although the number of people is not large, but the momentum created is not small, which is enough to confuse the enemy with fake and real. Liu Ze ordered Zhuo Ying not to rush forward, just advance slowly, and when he arrived at the White Emperor City, Huang Zhong, Xu Rong, Ganning's land and water army must have also been killed from the Yiling Ancient Road and the Xiajiang River to the White Emperor City. However, before Liu Ze arrived at the White Emperor City, the Three-Way Jing Army only needed to besiege the White Emperor City without attacking it.

Subsequently, Liu Ze ordered 50,000 horses and horses to go to Qingyang Gorge, and ordered Zhao Yun to lead the first army to ambush on the cliff on the left side of the canyon, Chen Zhi to lead the first army to ambush on the right cliff of the canyon, and prepare more bows and crossbows and arrows.

After the various departments arrived at the designated position, they immediately lurked in the drums, recuperating and waiting for work.

After more than ten days of long-distance marching, Wu Yi led an army of 70,000 to leave Chengdu, and turned to the White Emperor, and when he arrived at Quren, it was only one or two hundred miles away from the White Emperor City. But at this time, the Sichuan army was already exhausted, tossing and turning, nearly 2,000 miles, and there was almost no stop during the march, even if it was an iron man, it was almost time to get tired.

The survival of the White Emperor City is related to the overall situation of Shuzhong, and the priorities of this are naturally very clear, so after he was ordered, he did not dare to delay for a moment, and he rushed to the White Emperor with his wings.

"Wu Duhu, there is Qingyang Gorge in front, the mountain is high and the gorge is dangerous, and you have to be careful to deal with it." After coming out of the forbearance, Li Yan reminded Wu Yi.

Li Yan is familiar with geography and the art of war, and he has reminded Wu Yi many times along the way. Wu Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly, there is a way that Shu Road is difficult to Qingtian, there are countless dangerous mountains and rivers on this road, each of which can be called an excellent place for ambushes, passing on this road, Wu Yi is always on guard, for fear that he will not know where to kill a Liu Ze's army and catch him off guard.

Wu Yi is also very clear that Sun Tzu has said in the Art of War that the dangerous places in the mountains and forests must be carefully dealt with and beware of ambushes, and these dangerous places must be one stop and two to see three links, and then move forward after finding out the truth and reality, but what has always given Wu Yi a headache is that the anti-scout operations of the Jing army are almost pervasive, no matter how many scouts the Sichuan army sends, most of them have gone and have no return, and they can't get first-hand information, and the Sichuan army is like a blind man walking at night, with dark eyes. And the White Emperor City is in a hurry, and he can't afford to wait, if he really stops and stops, explores clearly and then leaves, it is estimated that he will not be able to reach the White Emperor City for a month.

Therefore, Wu Yi can only bite the bullet and pass through a dangerous pass everywhere, but fortunately he has never encountered a sneak attack by the Jing army, maybe they are going all out to attack the White Emperor, right? Wu Yi thought silently in his heart.

There was no time to find out the situation in Qingyang Gorge, Wu Yi decided to use the previous strategy from the beginning, dividing the army into two sections, the rear team was broken by Liu Xuan, and he and Li Yan passed in the front.

This kind of peace gave Wu Yi an illusion that it was safe no matter where he went, so when Li Yan reminded him, Wu Yi didn't express any more worries, Qingyang Gorge was just a danger in the land of Bashu, and there seemed to be no need to make a fuss.

"Full speed run guò!" Wu Yi gave an order to the Sichuan army, and he didn't have time to find out whether there was a brigade of the Jing army hidden in the mountain gorge here, and only by passing through guò quickly could he ensure the safety of the whole army on a certain distance.
