Seeing Deng Ai, who was almost crazy, looking at Yutu and laughing, Cao Zhi was a little surprised, and hurriedly asked:

"Shizai, what's wrong with you?"

Deng Ai restrained his smile and said to Cao Zhi: "Hahahaha, Brother Yungong, I finally thought of a way to break the situation." ”

As soon as they heard that Deng Ai had thought of a way to break the game, Cao Zhi and Qiang Rui were immediately interested, hurried over, and impatiently asked Deng Ai how to break the game.

Deng Ai spread out the map on the table, pointed to the mountains of Yinping County, and said to the two: "Our army will neither fight Chang'an nor Hanzhong, let's take the Yinping Trail, fight Chengdu, and destroy Shu Han in one fell swoop!" ”

"What? Destroy Shu Han! When Qiangrui heard this, he was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped.

Cao Zhi was also taken aback, and then looked at Deng Ai's position and said: "But there is no official road in Yinping, not to mention that we can't find the Yinping path, even if we find it, my army of 45,000, if you take the trail, it will be a big problem for the logistics department!" ”

Deng Ai said: "I speculate that there must be a small road in Yinping, otherwise how did Jiang Wei contact Chengdu after our army captured Wudu?" Therefore, it is not difficult to find the Yinping Trail, the difficult thing is that the Yinping Trail has to climb over the mountains, especially the Motianling, but as long as you cross the Motianling, Jiangyou will be further south. ”

Everyone followed Deng Ai's finger all the way to the south.

"In fact, our army does not have to carry too much grain and grass, as long as it can ensure that the grain and grass of the army in January is enough, as long as our army can break through Yinping, it can quickly reach Jiangyou, as long as Jiangyou is captured, our army can get supplies, and when it reaches Jiangyou, it will be considered to enter the hinterland of Shuzhong, which is only more than 300 miles away from Chengdu."

"As long as Jiangyou is captured, Chengdu will have no danger to defend, to the south is all the way to Pingchuan, and there is no heavy garrison near Chengdu, if this plan is successful, Chengdu will be broken, Shu Han will be destroyed, as long as Shu Han perishes, only Liu Chan needs to send an edict to Jiang Wei, Jiang Wei will inevitably look at the wind, explain not only broke the game, but also opened up the territory for my Great Wei, wonderful!"

Cao Zhi suddenly trembled with excitement.

After Qiangrui heard that there was an opportunity to defeat Shu Han in one fell swoop, he was also very excited.

Anyway, now that it has fallen into a dead end, it is better to fight for your life, if you can really smuggle through Yinping, and successfully defeat Chengdu and destroy Shu Han, with this great merit, you will definitely be able to enjoy wealth and glory in Dawei in the future.

So Qiangrui also high-fived and sighed: "Okay, just listen to General Deng Ai, let's go to Chengdu together!" ”

After everyone made up their minds, they all felt that Wudu really had no need to continue to stay, and sooner or later it would not be able to hold it.

Wudu County was originally close to Yinping County, because it was necessary to climb over the mountains, and the cavalry crossed the mountains and mountains, so Qiangrui had to use all the war horses for carrying the baggage, 45,000 troops, and it was not a small amount for people to eat horses and feed them every day, and everyone could only carry half a month's military rations with them with them with all their might.

After the army arrived in Yinping County, Deng Ai was pleased to find that there was no Shu army stationed in Yinping County, and soon asked the location of the Yinping Trail from the captured woodcutter.

In order to survive, the woodcutter was willing to act as a guide for Deng Ai, although the woodcutter repeatedly emphasized that the Yinping Trail was not generally steep and difficult, and it was not suitable for the march of the army, but Deng Ai was very determined and insisted on taking the Yinping Trail, so the woodcutter had to lead the 45,000 troops of Deng Ai, Cao Zhi, Qiangrui and other generals to enter the Yinping Trail.

After stepping into the Yinping Trail in the mountains, Deng Ai found that the Yinping Trail was actually slightly easier to walk than he expected, and he originally thought that the Yinping Trail was just a mountain road for woodcutters to chop wood, and it would be very difficult to walk.

But I unexpectedly found that in many extremely difficult places on the trail, someone actually built the plank road.

After asking, it turned out to be the plank road built by Jiang Wei's general, Fu Yan, which was mainly used to restore the connection between Longxi and Chengdu. However, after the Shu army recovered Tianshui, Tianshui had an official road to Hanzhong, and this Yinping trail was soon abandoned again.

"Hahahaha, God help me!" Deng Ai couldn't help but smile happily.

"Yes, I really can't imagine that Jiang Wei will help me build the road, if Jiang Wei knows about the road he ordered someone to build, our army will eventually attack Chengdu through this, I don't know how he will feel?" Cao Zhi also said with a smile.

Qiangrui looked proud, "This is called lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot, hahahaha!" ”

Everyone is very happy, although these plank roads have been abandoned for some time, they are not decayed, they are still sturdy and durable, and they can withstand the passage of the army, as long as they don't have too many people at one time, they can still pass.

However, the three of them were not happy for long, and they encountered a big problem that Wei Yan, Xiahou Xuan, and Xiahou Nan had all encountered, that is, although the speed of the mountain road was too slow, far slower than expected.

Deng Ai and Cao Zhi gradually discovered that even if the Yinping Trail had been prepared by Jiang Wei, it was still very difficult to walk, and almost all places were very narrow, and only one person could pass at a time. Every day, horses and soldiers stumbled and fell into deep ravines, and the fear of the steep road made the soldiers move more carefully and slowly.

Therefore, despite the woodcutter's guide, the army marched for ten days in a row, and almost a day did not travel more than twenty miles. They have been going around in the mountains all the time, but the military rations are bottoming out day by day.

In the barren mountains and mountains, it is impossible for the army to find any supplies, and it is impossible to return to Wudu City at this time.

By the fifteenth day, the army had run out of rations, but the army had not yet left the mountains, and Qiangrui had no choice but to kill horses for food, and there were 2,000 horses with the army, which should be able to feed the army for a few days.

The war horses of the Di people are almost the most important property of the Di people, and many Di people are unwilling to sacrifice their war horses, but now there are 45,000 people waiting for dinner, and they can't let everyone starve to death in the mountains.

And Deng Ai also felt more and more that the woodcutter seemed to be deliberately taking them around the bend in the mountains, so Deng Ai found the woodcutter and said viciously to the woodcutter:

"If you can't reach Motianling within three days, your head will be cut off by General Ben that night!"

The woodcutter was immediately frightened, so he continued to march with Deng Ai.

Three days later, the army finally arrived at Motianling, and the army was already sleepy and in danger.

Standing on the Sky Ridge, Deng Ai, Cao Zhi and Qiang Rui were all very excited, because standing on the Sky Ridge, looking south, the mountains gradually disappeared, leaving only some small hills, and further south was a flat river.

Ferris Ridge is already the last difficulty of the Yinping Trail.

All three of them were beaming, and they were impatient to lead the way down the Sky Ridge. Unexpectedly, the scouts in front reported that the plank road built by the Shu army in Motianling had been destroyed by the Shu army.

"What?" Cao Zhi was very shocked and couldn't help but scold:

"Jiang Wei, the dog thief, the plank road along the way was destroyed, but the plank road of Motianling was destroyed, this Motianling is so high, so steep and precipitous, without the plank road, how can we go down."

Deng Ai saw that victory was only in front of him, and there was no reason to give up because there was no plank road, it was too late to repair the plank road, and even the horses were about to be eaten up, so he could only force himself down the mountain.

So he gritted his teeth, was ruthless, and drank to his own soldiers: "Take our army blanket!" ”

After the soldiers took the military blanket, General Deng Ai wrapped the blanket around his body and rolled down from Motianling desperately.

Ai's move deeply inspired the manhood in the bones of the Wei soldiers, and everyone followed Deng Ai to climb the Muyuan Cliff, rushed forward, and sacrificed their lives to go down towards the Sky Ridge.
