It didn't take long for Wang Ping to be taken away. Tai Shici escorted 40,000 Yizhou new troops to Wuyang.

After listening to Guan Ping's report, Tai Shici said: "Fortunately, the entrance of the Sima family to the south was blocked in time, and I have sent someone to escort Zhang Song from Fushui all the way to the north, detour to the east of Fushui Pass, and then go west from Fushui Pass to meet Zhang He." According to this Zhang Song, although Mianzhu Pass guards the north gate of Chengdu, it is not the only road that can lead to Chengdu, he can lead the North Route Army to bypass Mianzhu Pass and directly attack the Chengdu Plain. ”

Li Ru said: "Presumably Zhang Song will not lie, and we don't have to worry that he will lie." Now that the Sima family has been trapped in Chengdu, and no reinforcements have come from now on, we just need to advance to Chengdu from all sides for the camp step by step, and see how long he can hold on!"

Guan Ping didn't know that Wei Yan had led 20,000 mountain infantry to ambush west of Chengdu, so he said with some concern: "I often hear that Sima Yi is as cunning as a fox and is used to escaping. Now we have deployed heavy troops in the north, east, and south, but the west is the sphere of influence of the Tang and Qiang people, so far we have not sent troops to encircle it. If the Sima family fled westward before Chengdu was captured, wouldn't it allow this great scourge to escape again?"

Zhang He smiled slightly, and said confidently: "This time, we are going to force the Sima family to abandon the city and flee west! If they defend the city, in the end it will only be the people of Yizhou who are unlucky in the city, and we don't want a dilapidated Chengdu city!"

Guan Ping blinked his eyes twice, then stared at Tai Shi Ci and asked awkwardly, "So, we have already laid an ambush in the west?"

Tai Shici's face was expressionless, and he replied to the question: "I've been traveling continuously for the past few days, I'm really tired, I have to hurry up and take a hot bath, and then sleep beautifully." Hehe, maybe this awakening will have news from the north!"

There are still more than 40,000 soldiers left on Tai Shici's side to guard Wuyang City, although the number of people is nearly half less than when he first went to Yuxian, but the combat effectiveness is still very impressive. Gan Ning took away only 20,000 Yan Yan's old troops, and the nearly 20,000 troops killed and wounded in the first battle of Niu Pi were also Jiaozhi soldiers and Yizhou soldiers, and the Jin descendants brought by Tai Shici to the south had very limited casualties, and now they were defending with the help of the city, even if the Sima family poured out all the 80,000 troops in Chengdu to attack Wuyang, it was impossible to rush over.

Gan Ning continued to march eastward with 20,000 troops, but Zhang Song, who went to meet Zhang He outside Mianzhu Pass, arrived smoothly.

If you want to say that this pine is really a cheap bone. Since he was taken in by Tai Shici, he was determined to serve the Jin State, and offered to go to Mianzhu Pass to lead the way for the North Route Army to help Zhang Hejun and Xu Rongjun to come to Chengdu as soon as possible.

Zhang He, who was sitting in the tent of the Chinese army and sulking because the army's movement had been delayed for more than ten days, suddenly heard a report from his own soldiers, saying that Marshal Taishi of the South Route Army sent troops to send a person to help the army enter Chengdu as soon as possible. When Zhang He heard this, his heart was moved, and he was excited to greet him, but he saw a lewd man with a pointed head of 61 heads, a nose and teeth, and a short body of less than five feet, and he couldn't help but feel some disgust in his heart.

Zhang He thought to himself: Okay, you are too Shici, seeing that the Northern Route Army was blocked under the Mianzhu Pass, if you don't sincerely help me, forget it, why did you send such an ugly thing to disgust me!

Zhang Song also seemed to know that he didn't look good, and without waiting for Zhang He to ask, he quickly took out a drawing from his arms, respectfully sent it to Zhang He, and then said: "I was born in Shuzhong, and I am familiar with the mountains and rivers of Yizhou.

Although Zhang He didn't look down on Zhang Song, he was most concerned about how to pass through Mianzhu Pass smoothly, so he hurriedly picked up the map presented by Zhang Song and looked at it carefully. After a while, Zhang He raised his head with a smile on his face and said to Zhang Song: "It's really Mr. Zhang! If the army can really bypass Mianzhu according to Mr. Zhang's guidance, I will personally ask for credit for you!"

Zhang He's words were very polite, but one thing was clear--since you, Zhang Song, swore that there was a shortcut to detour, then lead the way in front! If you can really pass, your credit is indispensable; but if you have nothing to do with our North Route Army, don't blame me for the knife in my hand when the time comes!

Zhang He only left less than 10,000 troops and dozens of elephants dragging the cannons of the Shenwu generals, and continued to hide their eyes and ears outside Mianzhu Pass, while the remaining 60,000 troops quietly withdrew at night, and under the leadership of Zhang Song, within five days, they really went around to the south of Mianzhu Pass.

was disgusted by Sima Fu in Mianzhu Pass for more than ten days, and the brothers of the vanguard army and the Kunlun army had already held back the fire in their stomachs. Zhang He gave an order, 20,000 agile vanguard troops and Kunlun army soldiers started left and right, and it took less than an hour to break through Mianzhu Pass from the south.

Of the 3,000 Yizhou soldiers in Mianzhu Pass, few survived. In the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the North Route Army, this group of bastards who aided in the abuse was not a pity to die.

After completely occupying Mianzhu Pass, Zhang He left 5,000 soldiers to guard the pass, and then ordered the 10,000 heavily armed troops who stayed north of Mianzhu Pass to set off quickly, aiming directly at Chengdu City. A few days later, a mighty army appeared on the Chengdu Plain, and dozens of elephants were the first to open the way. I saw these big guys who were higher than the roof, dragging the round and nearly one-zhang long Shenwu General Cannon behind them, that appearance and expression, how majestic they were, how majestic they were!

What's even more exciting news is that when Gan Ning led the army to Dianjiang, he actually met the Tianyi army led by Lu Xun head-on.

It turned out that without waiting for Tai Shi Ci to send a secret envoy to Yiling to deliver the letter, Lu Xun took the first step to say that Huang Zhong was moved, and the two armies joined hands along the Yangtze River upstream, successively recovering Zigui and Wuxian, and then broke through Yufu City, which was only garrisoned by 20,000 Yizhou new troops, captured the defending generals Gao Pei and Huang Quan alive, and rescued Li Yan and more than 10,000 captured soldiers in Jingzhou who were imprisoned in the city.

After capturing Yufu, Lu Xun asked Li Yan to lead more than 10,000 Jingzhou soldiers to guard the more than 10,000 Yizhou recruits who were captured in turn, while he and Huang Zhong took care of each other, continued to advance to the hinterland of Yizhou, and finally met Gan Ning in Dianjiang.

Gan Ning saw that the 20,000 soldiers of Tianyi Army and Huang Zhong were well-organized and their morale was high, so he had no worries and was relieved to take his 20,000 troops to march in the direction of Yufu.

Gan Ning was actually very grateful to Tai Shici for this arrangement, as soon as he went east, he didn't have to take soldiers to attack Sima's house in Chengdu, and he didn't have to worry about facing his former colleagues in Yizhou. Anyway, the Central Plains War has now begun, and there is also a battle to fight in Jingzhou.
