The reason why Zhuge Xiong gathered his men and horses in the Sheep Intestine Valley was because the grass and trees on both sides of the valley were lush, suitable for the army under his command to hide, not easy to be discovered by the rebel scouts, and it was not too far from Chengdu. The second is because once the main force of the rebels returns to Chengdu, the Sheep Intestine Valley is the nearest road, and the rebels must pass through the Sheep Intestine Valley in order to quickly rescue Chengdu, and the army is hidden here, which can cause a thunderous blow to the main rebel force that urgently returns to help.

But the size of the main force of the rebels is thirty times that of the Wudang Fei Army, even if a thousand Wudang Fei Army is good at fighting, it is impossible to defeat the 30,000 horses of the rebels, once the rebels find that the ambush forces on both sides of the valley are very few, they will definitely launch a counterattack, the gap in strength is so big, Zhuge Xiong and the Wudang Fei Army under his command are in a worrying situation.

In order to prevent the rebels from returning to Chengdu and give the main army time to capture Chengdu, and at the same time, in order to prove his ability, Zhuge Xiong decided to take a gamble, of course, he will not blindly block the main force of the rebels, but concentrate all the men and horses, and identify the rebels' main generals Deng Ding and Kui Wen, as long as Deng Ding and Kui Wen horses pass through their ambush positions, Zhuge Xiong and the Wudang Fei Army under his command will shoot a thousand crossbows in a volley, shooting all the arrows at Deng Ding and Kui Wen.

With the power of the salvo of the Wudang Feijun crossbow, Deng Ding and Kui Wen can be put to death in a very short time, as long as these two people die, the main force of the rebels will be in chaos, and Zhuge Xiong can kill the chaotic rebels and completely defeat the rebels, so as to ensure that the main army of Hua'an can calmly deal with the rebels in Chengdu.

After making up his mind, Zhuge Xiong ambushed his main forces on the mountainside of the Sheep Intestine Valley, and sent a small number of troops to reconnoiter and purchase food around. At the same time, he sent his own soldiers to the direction of Fucheng to report his bold plan to Hua'an.

The main army under the command of Hua'an moved extremely quickly, and it only took a day and a half to reach the outskirts of Mianzhu, and the forward pro-military camp was even more lightning fast, firmly controlling Mianzhu City, which had not yet been received by the rebels.

At sunset, the main army under the command of Hua'an entered Mianzhu City one after another, and set up camp, intending to continue to march in the direction of Chengdu after resting for a night.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Hua'an reported the latest situation according to the scouts in front. Begin to research the best counterinsurgency options.

Whereas, the main forces of the rebels attacked to the east. In the face of the fact that the rebels in the direction of Chengdu were insufficient, Hua'an decided to make a quick and rapid attack, kill Chengdu as quickly as possible, and cut off the way for the rebels' main force to return to help. As a result, the rebels near Chengdu will be able to close their doors and fight dogs.

"General. The lord of the Zhuge battalion sent his own soldiers to deliver the letter. Please take a look at the general. The colonel said and handed the letter to Hua An.

Hua An opened the letter and glanced at it, and said with a smile: "This Zhuge Xiong is really brave and strategic, and he is dormant in the valley of sheep intestines. Blocking the only way for the rebels to come back is exactly what I want! Ha ha! After speaking, he handed the letter to Zhang Yu and Xie Siming behind him.

Zhang Yu and Xie Siming looked at the letter, both expressed their appreciation, and also expressed their worries in their hearts, after all, Zhuge Xiong's troops are too few, if they can kill the rebel generals Deng Ding and Kui Wen in one fell swoop, they can naturally turn the danger into a disaster, but if they fail to kill these two, a thousand Wudang Flying Army will be in danger.

However, Hua An thinks that this matter is foolproof, because Zhuge Xiong was an old general in Shuzhong, and he knew Deng Ding and Kui Wen, he naturally knew the two better, at least he would not recognize the wrong person, with the powerful power of the Wudang Feijun crossbow salvo, as long as Zhuge Xiong did not recognize the wrong person, he would definitely be able to shoot Deng Ding and Kui Wen off the horse, thus completely disintegrating the rebels.

After listening to Hua'an's analysis, Zhang Yu and Xie Siming were completely relieved, and felt that Zhuge Xiong would definitely be able to block the rebels' return.

Hua An looked at the topographic map of Shuzhong in front of him, and said softly: "According to the speed of the rebels, at this time, the city must be controlled by the rebels, and if our army wants to break through the city, it will definitely take a lot of time, so that we can't quickly reach the city of Chengdu." After speaking, he stuck his finger in the position of Yucheng.

When Xie Siming heard this, he said softly: "General, Luocheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the west road is more dangerous like Luofengpo, our army will indeed consume too much time to attack Luocheng, so it is better to give up the shortcut road of Luocheng, and march directly to Chengdu from the west road." ”

"Yes! General, although the road to the west is farther, but it can avoid the well-defended city, so as to unexpectedly penetrate directly under the city of Chengdu, so that the rebels were caught off guard, that year, the 30,000 army led by General Deng Ai was directly under the city of Chengdu from this road, thus forcing the later lord Liu Chan to surrender. Zhang Yu followed.

Hua An pondered for a moment, smiled, and said lightly: "You are right, early tomorrow morning, our army will immediately leave Mianzhu and march towards Chengdu from the west road. ”

Subsequently, Hua'an issued a plan to the generals of the army for the second day's march, and the main army under the command of Tie Niu and Li Yi would march to Chengdu along the road west of Mianzhu, while the 3,000 new troops of Liangzhou under Chen Ting would stay in Mianzhu and closely monitor every move in the direction of Luocheng.

In order to protect Chengdu, the rebels must not send many troops in the direction of Luocheng, and Chen Ting's 3,000 troops stationed in Mianzhu can easily block the road to the north of the rebels, so as to prevent the rebels from entering Zitong County through Mianzhu, and then harassing the entire Liangzhou.

Soon after the army under Hua'an left Fucheng, the rebel scouts rushed back to Chengdu and reported the urgent news to Wang Run, the rebel general in Chengdu.

Knowing that the Jin army's army in the direction of Liangzhou had been killed, Wang Run was taken aback, and hurriedly entered the prime minister's mansion of Wang Oath to discuss countermeasures with Wang Oath.

Wang Oath heard that the Jin army Hua'an Legion had been killed, and his heart was inevitably surprised, although he was very confident in the defense of Chengdu, but the Jin army's Hua'an Legion was well-trained after all, if it besieged Chengdu for a long time, it would be extremely unfavorable to the new empire that had just been established, therefore, Wang Oath did not hesitate to follow Wang Run's advice, and let Deng Ding and Kui Wen's main army return to Chengdu quickly to rescue the besieged capital.

In order to make Deng Ding and Kui Wen feel the severity of the form, Wang Ao sent multiple messengers to deliver the message at the same time, so that Deng Ding and Kui Wen's main army could quickly return to Chengdu.

Seeing that the multi-way messenger left the Prime Minister's Mansion with the letter, Wang Wei breathed a sigh of relief, under his strict deployment, there was no internal response of the Jin army in Chengdu, he was sure, therefore, with the solidity of Chengdu and the persistence of more than 10,000 troops, the Jin army Hua'an Army could not break through Chengdu, and once the main army of Deng Ding and Kui Wen returned to Chengdu, they could launch a two-sided attack on the Jin army, so as to defeat the Jin army, protect the newly established regime, and finally control the entire Yizhou.

"Prime Minister, according to the speed of the Jin army, I am afraid that it will only take three or four days to reach the city of Chengdu, and the main force of our army will return to Chengdu, since the receipt of the letter, it will take at least five or six days, before the main force returns to Chengdu, our army will have about two days to face the main force of the Jin army alone." Wang Run opened his mouth and analyzed.

Wang Wei nodded, and said: "With our current strength, it is more than enough to hold Chengdu alone for two days, General Wang, Chengdu's city defense will be handed over to you to be fully responsible, and you will have to work harder these days." After speaking, he looked at Wang Run.

Wang Run clenched his fists and said loudly: "Prime Minister rest assured, the last general will definitely make every effort to arrange the city defense, and he will definitely not give the Jin army a chance to take advantage of it." After speaking, he swore and looked at the king.

Wang Wei nodded with satisfaction, and then asked Wang Run to arrange the city defenses, while he himself led a group of cronies to the direction of the palace, intending to use the prestige of the Son of Heaven to make the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty obey him, unite and face the offensive of the Jin army together.

The king sent a number of messengers to recall the main army of Deng Ding and Kui Wen, one of which led to Guò from the Valley of the Sheep's Intestines.

Zhuge Xiong, who was ambushed halfway up the Yanggu Valley, saw that the messenger in the valley was riding the fastest stagecoach and there were two guards beside him, so he decided that they must have delivered extremely urgent information, so he did not hesitate to give the order to shoot and kill.

A burst of rapid crossbow fire easily shot the rebel messenger, and Zhuge Xiong led several soldiers down the mountainside and turned over the urgent letter on the messenger's body.

The content of the letter, as Zhuge Xiong expected, is indeed an urgent military order, and from this letter, Zhuge Xiong also learned the current approximate location of the main army of Hua'an.

The soldiers quickly disposed of Taniguchi's body, and Zhuge Xiong repacked the letter written by Wang Oath and sent a personal soldier to send the letter to Hua'an in its original form, so as to inform Hua'an of this important information and let Hua'an have a clear understanding of the overall actions of the rebels.

At the same time, Zhuge Xiong also asked the soldiers to strengthen their vigilance, because, such an important military situation, Wang Oath is likely to send multiple messengers, and what he stopped is only the nearest road, once the rebels return, at least ninety percent of them may choose to pass through the Guò Sheep Intestine Valley, after all, this road is the closest, and the road condition is also the best, except for this not very steep valley pass, there is no more dangerous place.

In Anhan City, southwest of Chengdu, the main army of Deng Ding and Kui Wen, not long after entering the city, received several urgent documents in succession, the content of which was exactly the same, so that the two immediately led the main army back to Chengdu, and informed the Hua'an army of the attack on Chengdu.

Deng Ding and Kui Wen received the urgent document of the king's oath, and did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to prepare their bags, and after a few hours, they began to retreat in the direction of Chengdu.

After all, at this time, the four thousand remnants under the command of Zhou Fu had retreated rapidly in the direction of Jingzhou like a lost dog, and as long as they pursued all the way, they could capture several counties in the southeast of Yizhou, so as to expand the territory of the new empire and gain the strength to confront the Great Jin Empire.
