As Sima Yi and Cao Pi analyzed, the conquest of Wuhuan is different from the attack on Yuan Xi.

Wuhuan's old nest Liucheng is far northeast of Liaoxi County.

Judging from the map, the straight-line distance alone is thousands of miles away, and the road is long and bumpy.

If you're not careful, you could lose everything.

Therefore, Yang Ling must be cautious!

While he was talking to Gan Ning, Zhou Cang lifted the camp curtain and hurriedly walked in.

"Strategist, Captain Yan is back!"

Yang Ling's spirit was lifted, and after thinking about it, he ordered,

"Xingba, go and gather everyone over."

"Whoa!"

Gan Ning took the order and left.

After a while, Zhao Yun, Gao Rou, Gan Ning, Tian Yu and other generals and strategists all gathered in Yang Ling's tent.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the reason why I ordered the troops to stay in place in the past few days is actually to send Captain Yan to investigate the situation ahead."

Yang Ling smiled and said to Yan Ju, who was standing in the hall,

"Captain Yan, tell everyone about the situation."

"Yes!"

Yan Rou arched his hand and said slowly to everyone,

"If you want to attack the Wuhuan people, there is only one way to go, that is, starting from the end, taking the coastal road, and crossing the Jieshi to reach Liucheng."

"When people in the world travel between the east and west ends of Youzhou, they all pass this road."

As soon as he heard this, Gan Ning suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly said,

"Then let's be stunned, hurry up and attack the Wuhuan people from this way!"

"Xingba, don't be in a hurry, and listen to Captain Yan."

Yang Ling shook his head at Gan Ning, signaling him not to be anxious.

"It's just that the coastal roads are all plains, the terrain is flat, and such a long supply line is easy to be attacked by the Wuhuan cavalry."

Yan Rou introduced,

"But that's not the most troublesome."

"I went to investigate the other day, and it's summer, and it's raining heavily, and the Corniche is muddy."

"Don't talk about cavalry, I'm afraid it's extremely difficult for foot soldiers to pass through!"

"The most terrible thing is that the Wuhuan people expected that we would pass through the coastal road, and they have already guarded the dangers everywhere."

Everyone frowned.

If it was really as Yan Rou said, it would be almost impossible to attack the Wuhuan people from the coastal road!

Just when everyone was at a loss, Gan Ning suddenly noticed that Yang Ling was smiling.

He couldn't help but cry out,

"The military advisor's expression is so relaxed, I'm afraid that he already has a way to deal with it, right?!"

Everyone was stunned, they all looked at Yang Ling, and urged one after another,

"What's the plan?"

"Come quickly, don't hide it from us anymore."

Yang Ling waved his hand and smiled,

"What Captain Yan said is basically true, but there is something wrong."

"What's wrong?"

Yan Rou was stunned.

"If you want to attack Liucheng of the Wuhuan people, there is not only one way to go."

Yang Ling showed an unfathomable smile.

Yan Rou subconsciously looked at the sand table in the tent, thought for a moment, and her eyes lit up,

"What the military advisor said, but the ancient road from Lulongsai, through Pinggang, and then attack Liucheng?"

"Yes, it's true."

Yang Ling smiled and nodded.

"I didn't expect the military advisor to be so well-informed, and even know this ancient road."

Yan Rou praised it, but shook her head with a wry smile,

"It's not that my subordinates haven't thought about starting from the ancient road, but the ancient road has really been abandoned for a long time, and almost no one knows about it."

In the Western Han Dynasty, the seat of Youbeiping County was located in Pinggang.

One can start from Lulongse, arrive in Hiraoka, and then head east to Liucheng.

It was only later that due to historical changes and frequent wars, the seat of Youbeiping County was moved to Tuyin County.

Hiraoka Castle was abandoned, and even the roads leading to Yanagi and other places were dilapidated and cut off.

"You're right, but almost no one knows, but not no one knows."

Looking at Yan Rou's puzzled expression, Yang Ling smiled and said,

"Do you know Tian Zitai?"

"What the military advisor said, could it be that he was engaged in Tian Chou under the account of the Marquis of Xiangben before?"

It was Tian Yu who reacted first and asked.

"Yes, that's the person I'm talking about."

Yang Ling smiled and nodded.

The Marquis of Xiangben is the minister of the royal family who died at the hands of Gongsun Zhan, and the former assassin Liu Yu of Youzhou.

Tian Chou was originally engaged under Liu Yu, but after Liu Yu was killed by Gongsun Zhan, he was unwilling to work for Gongsun Zhan, so he moved his family to live in seclusion in Xu Wushan.

In history, Cao Cao used him as a guide, and finally sent troops out of Lulongsai and attacked Liucheng for thousands of miles.

In the end, Cao's army encountered the Wuhuan people in White Wolf Mountain, and the two sides fought a decisive battle.

Zhang Liao's array slashed Dun Shan Yu and calmed down the hidden danger of Wuhuan in one fell swoop!

"This person has lived in Xu Wushan for a long time, and he may really know the ancient road."

Tian Yu touched his chin and nodded,

"However, this person has an arrogant temperament, and Gongsun Zhan and Yuan's father and son both sent people to invite him out of the mountain, but he refused."

"The military advisor wants him to be a guide, I'm afraid it's a little difficult."

Yang Ling smiled,

"Don't worry, I've sent someone to find him, and he won't refuse me."

When everyone heard this, they didn't say anything more.

……

A few days later, a middle-aged man dressed as a literati came to Yang Ling's camp.

"Caomin Tianchou, I've seen the five senses of the general!"

"Mr. Zitai is exempt!"

Yang Ling stepped forward to help him up, and then said with a smile,

"Mr. Zitai has a lot of prestige in Youzhou, and his willingness to come today really makes our army camp shine!"

Don't look at Tian Chou is living in seclusion in the mountains, but because he is too famous, the people have gone to join him.

However, in a few years, he developed into more than 5,000 households, and even Wuhuan and Xianbei each sent envoys to send tribute.

"The facial features of the middle man will be polite, this is not a false name."

Tian Chou smiled faintly.

"Mr. Zitai, don't call me an official again, just call me by my name."

Yang Ling said with a smile.

Tian Chou nodded and asked,

"Ziyi's intention to invite me, I already know. The ancient road to Hiraoka, I do know. ”

"But there's a question I want to ask Ziyi."

He paused, and continued,

"How sure are you that I won't reject you like I rejected the Yuan family and his son?"

"It's very simple, because Mr. and I, like Wei Gong, both hate the Wuhuan people."

Yang Ling said in a deep voice,

"The Yuan father and son are short-sighted, they only know how to win over the Wuhuan people, but they sit back and watch the Wuhuan people wantonly invade the border of our Han Dynasty."

"Duke Wei is eloquent, loves the people like a son, and is really a famous master!"

After listening to Yang Ling's answer, Tian Chou nodded with satisfaction,

"Excellent! Since the Zhonglang of the five senses will be willing to crusade against the Wuhuan people, then the grass people should do their best! ”

As he spoke, he stood up and bowed deeply to Yang Ling again!

After sitting down again, Tian Chou said,

"But although I know how to walk the ancient road, it's just that after so many years, the ancient road is deserted, and it is difficult to pass."

"I'm covered with this."

Yang Ling is confident.
