"The Meridian Valley is six hundred and sixty miles, and the road is difficult to navigate. The plank road is more dangerous, and the army is difficult to travel. And the weight of Chang'an, with Cao Cao's strategy, there must be heavy military arrangements. ”

"If there are few soldiers, it is difficult to overcome, and if there are many soldiers, the logistics are poor. In addition, in the long Nagasaki area, it takes nearly a month to reach the elite of Chang'an from Hanzhong. ”

In later generations, everyone boasted of the Meridian Valley conspiracy, and Liu Xian had also heard of it. But when I put myself in my shoes, I realized that although this strategy was good, it was actually difficult to operate.

The Meridian Valley is very long, even if you go to the Meridian Valley Gong Chang'an. If there are fewer soldiers, Chang'an cannot be defeated, and if there are too many soldiers, it will be difficult to do so.

Moreover, now that the enemy is outnumbered, it is absolutely impossible to divide the army unless necessary. The importance of Chang'an is self-evident, can a person like Lao Cao who is good at using soldiers not pay attention?

In addition, it is the former capital of the Han Dynasty, and the city is high and deep with 10,000 soldiers and horses. Without an army of 50,000 or 60,000, who would dare to take it lightly?

In fact, it is not impossible to dare to be a battalion and climb over mountains and mountains as if walking on flat ground. Although the soldiers are few, they are fine, and it is not without a chance to conquer Chang'an under the sneak attack.

Chang'an can be taken, and Lao Cao's Central Plains Corps will definitely send troops to recover. There is no need to speculate that these 3,000 people are just one dish for each other.

"In this way, our army will first take Tianshui Wudu out of Qishan Road, and then attack Wuwei Jincheng and other places in Liangzhou. However, Cao's army will not make our army, and the importance is here! ”

Kong Ming also came to the map at this time, pointing at one place with a wooden stick.

Street Pavilion!

Liu Xian has only one thought in his mind, it is absolutely impossible to let Ma Jian guard the street pavilion, and he can't be killed.

"My lord, the urgent need now lies in Qishan Road. There are 20,000 soldiers and horses of Xiahou Shang at the crossing, guarding the valley entrance. ”

Fa Zheng didn't let the dragon scales specialize in beauty, and then he also spoke up.

Of course, no one takes these 20,000 people in their eyes, and the soldiers and horses also depend on who leads them. If it was Cao Cao or Wuzi's grade, he would be more cautious.

But a Xiahou Shang, the people present can deal with any one of them.

"My lord! Loyal to be the vanguard, first break Xiahou Shang. ”

When the old yellow head heard this, he went directly out of the queue to ask for his life.

The generals deceived me and I was old and weak, and I could endure it...... Bear with the ass and him directly.

"Old general, why is the old general of Xiahou still working in this area? Big brother, please join me with 10,000 horses. I took off Xiahou Shang's head and bowed to the soldiers! ”

If there is a war, the highest one to call must be Zhang Fei. In this pioneer position, Lao Zhang will not be left behind.

On the second day, Liu Bei's 80,000 army, with Huang Zhong as the vanguard, led 20,000 soldiers and horses to advance the Qishan Road to clear the obstacles.

Just as Huang Zhong set off with an army of 20,000, the scouts of the Cao army, who had been paying attention to the movement in Yangping Pass, finally realized it and hurriedly turned around to report the news.

Qishan Xiahou Shang camp

"General, Liu Beijun is dispatched!"

The scout rode lightly, and it only took two days to get out of Qishan Road and reach the camp.

"Hmph, it's good to come!"

"Do you know who the enemy vanguard is and how many soldiers and horses?"

When Xiahou Shang heard this, he smashed his fist on the eucalyptus, and then asked eagerly.

But there was no fear in his eyes, but a strong fighting spirit.

Xiahou Shang, who is not Chinese New Year's Eve today, is not a second-rate but a third-rate top in his ability to fight in the romance, and his military rule is seventy worried.

It is all thanks to his good brother Cao Pi and the surname Xiahou that he has the important task of leading the troops.

But in the official history, its ability to lead troops is not bad. He once followed Cao Zhang to chase the grassland, and also pacified the mediocrity. In the later battle of Jiangling, Zhuge Jin was also defeated.

"Look at the enemy will play the word yellow and strict. Those who lead the troops in armor must have gray hair, and there are about 20,000 vanguard soldiers and horses. The scout continued to report.

Huang Zhong and Yan Yan are all veterans, and they don't have any feats that shocked the world. Therefore, when Xiahou Shang heard this, he couldn't remember these two people for a while.

At this time, Deputy General Han Hao stood up when he saw this, and continued to report.

"I think it's Liu Beifang's two veterans, Huang Zhong and Yan Yan! That Huang Zhongzi Hansheng, the general of Changsha voted for Liu Bei, and he was more than seventy years old. Yan Yan heard that he is also a veteran in Sichuan, and he is sixty years old. ”

Han Hao, the heir of the character. From the period of discussing Dong, he began to show his grandeur, and in the name of loyalty and bravery, he was Lao Cao's confidant and favorite general.

Although most people's image of Han Hao is to make achievements in Tuntian. But he is not bad at fighting, otherwise Lao Cao would not let him assist Zuo Xiahou Shang.

"Oh? Liu Beijun is uncared for? Make this two veterans the vanguard. ”

Xiahou Shang sighed when he heard this, and began the unspoken rules in the army from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. "A gentleman is not seriously injured, and he does not catch two hairs".

That is, respect the old and love the young, and do not capture the elderly.

It is also rare to use a bad old man as a general, no wonder Xiahou still has this reaction.

"General Boren, all the strategists under Liu Bei are good, and Zhang Zhao and other generals under him are also Xiong Zhen's generals."

"A month ago, Liu Bei was called king in vain, and he was called the five tiger generals with Guan Zhang, Zhao Mahuang, and Huang Huang. Is there a vain man under fame? Take it as a pioneer, it is expected that it must be good and should not be underestimated. ”

Han Hao saw Xiahou Shang's disdainful face, and hurriedly advised.

Xiahou Shang is relatively young, although he verbally says yes. But there is a bit of caution in his heart, only he knows.

"Since Liu Bei is out of Sichuan, this matter should be reported to the King of Wei as soon as possible!"

"Good!"

At this time, Han Hao said again, Xiahou Shang did not delay and ordered the knight to go to Xuchang to report the news in the starry night.

At the same time that Xiahou Shang sent someone to inform Cao Cao, Huang Zhong Yan Yan led an army of 20,000 and was also on the way to the Qishan Road.

"I heard that this road is the best section of the road out of Sichuan and into Long, and I don't want it to be so rugged. I really don't know how difficult the rest of the roads out of Sichuan are! ”

Huang Zhong looked at the left and right, the steep mountains. stepped on the rattling plank road again, and couldn't help but sigh to Yan Yan beside him.

Extreme Soul Chaos

There are two vanguard tasks, one is to open roads and build bridges in the mountains and rivers to ensure the advance of the rear army.

The two are the ones who defeat the enemy and the vanguard wins.

"In the past, I entered Shushan with Junlang Gong and walked on the Xiegu Road. The difficulty of the sloping valley is still on the Qi Mountain. ”

Jun Langgong in Yan Yan's mouth is Liu Yan, the first generation of the former Yizhou.

He is one of the old ministers who entered Sichuan with Liu Yan, and he has been mixing in the land of the two rivers for decades, so he naturally understands the terrain.

"Brother Yan, how far is it from the Qishan crossing? If you want to defeat Xiahou Shang, what strategy can you teach me. ”

Huang Zhong retracted his gaze and asked the most important question at present.

"You can get out of the Qishan Road Crossing in about two days, and the road crossing is very wide. They will not lie in ambush, but they will also hinder our army from going out. ”

"However, Brother Hansheng and I both have frosty sideburns. It is expected that Xiahou Shang will inevitably despise it, or he may be able to underestimate the enemy's strategy! ”

Yan Yan thought for a moment, and then suggested to Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong is also old in military affairs, and he just nodded in agreement when he thought about it.

Two days later, Huang Zhong's vanguard army finally came out of the crossing, and he saw Xiahou Shang's army on display.

"Anti-thief An dares to violate my boundary!"

"Cao thief deceived the king and killed the queen, which was rampant. Ambition reigns king, stealing the country and rebelling ......"

"Kill!"

As soon as the two armies met each other, they inevitably exchanged cordial greetings. After a slight greeting and shouting, a battle broke out.

Among them, Huang Zhong and Yan Yan respectively faced the enemy generals, and they did not show anything for the sake of slow soldiers.

The scuffle lasted for about two hours, each losing thousands of corpses. Xiahou still saw that he couldn't overcome it for a long time, so he withdrew his troops and returned to the camp first.

Huang Zhong also took advantage of this time to set up camp, preparing to wait for Liu Bei's army to arrive......
