After Orion's trembling and somewhat incomprehensible narration, Zhang Xi spent a long time and finally figured out what Orion meant by the mountain path.

Wugong County's road to the direction of Wuzhang Yuan, since ancient times, there are only two.

Needless to say, this is an official road, which was built at the expense of the government, and it has a history of hundreds of years, and there is basically no mistake.

But the mountain trail is not the mountain trail that Zhang Xi knows now, but another.

The mountain road came out from the direction of the north gate of Wugong County, bypassed the three mountains, and then led to the direction of Dachangji.

But this mountain road turned over thirty years ago on a ground dragon. That is, after the earthquake, most of them were blocked due to landslides and rockfalls, and it took a lot of manpower and material resources to re-dredge them.

After all, this is a mountain road, which was built and maintained by the common people spontaneously in order to facilitate the arrival of Dachangji trade, and there is no half-dime relationship with the government, and it is impossible for the government to send people to dredge this mountain road.

As for the people, under the leadership of the local family, they originally planned to use the farming time to repair it, but people suddenly found that after the earth dragon turned over this time, a small passage suddenly appeared between the two mountains, which could lead closer to Dachangji than the mountain road.

That is the mountain road that Zhang Xi now knows.

This mountain road does not need to go around the three mountains, but leads to Dachangji in a straight line. With the money to dredge and repair the original detour of the mountain road, it is better to reopen a mountain road to save time and effort.

In this way, with the later digging of this mountain road, everyone can get closer to Dachangji, and the original mountain road that has been blocked slowly disappears from everyone's memory.

Today, more than 30 years later, the people of Wugong County have almost forgotten that there is such a blocked old mountain road.

Even when Orion said that there was such a road, the slightly younger woodcutter was still ignorant, and had never heard of the existence of this mountain road.

But Zhang Xi's eyes were already lit up at this time, if there really is the existence of this mountain road, then Zhang He's whereabouts can be explained.

But Zhang Xi was still not sure, for fear that Orion would not remember clearly, so he hurriedly asked people to sneak back the old man again.

The old man of the village is a little older than Orion, and the things of thirty years ago, Orion may not remember it very clearly, but the old man must know it.

Then, Gao Xiang brought the old man back.

Zhang Xi said Orion's words and asked the villagers. The villager suddenly remembered.

"General, the villain is guilty, the guilty villain is confused, and he forgot that there is still such a thing." The old villager's face turned pale and pleaded guilty, but at the same time he did not forget to excuse himself, saying, "However, although there is this mountain road, this mountain road has been blocked thirty years ago, and it has not been dredged and repaired for thirty years, so I am afraid that it has long been impossible for pedestrians."

Zhang Xi couldn't hold back and rolled his eyes. Of course, the people of Wugong County can't dredge and repair it, but Zhang He's old boy has an army in his hands!!

Besides, Zhang He only needs to ensure that his soldiers can pass temporarily, and he doesn't really want to build roads for you. There are ways.

didn't have the time to talk nonsense with the old villager, so he quickly asked the old villager to mark this mountain road on the map.

It's not that Zhang Xi believes in the villagers more, it's that Orion can't read the marching map at all, and he can't mark the villagers at least a little culture, and he can understand a little bit.

After the villager finished marking the map, Zhang Xi immediately called Gao Xiang and Liu Yin to discuss the next response plan.

As for the villagers, hunters, woodcutters and others, Zhang Xi continued to detain them in the army, and entertained them with delicious food and drink If Zhang He is really blocked, there will naturally be a heavy reward in the future.

But now, first of all, we have to find a way to block Zhang He's actions.

Orion also said just now that although the old mountain road is a bit far away, the final destination in the same direction is also Dachangji.

Zhang Xi's plan to lure Zhang He into the mountain road, and then set up an ambush on the mountain road to burn Zhang He is now bankrupt.

Zhang He has already set off, and the mountain road is not the same, so it is too late to set up an ambush.

Therefore, the place where Zhang He was blocked could only be placed on the Dachangji at the exit of the mountain road.

Gao Xiang suggested that he immediately send someone to lead 500 troops and march to Dachangji quickly, and he led 3,000 soldiers to follow, striving to completely block Zhang Hejun's way in Dachangji.

But. Zhang Xi was not at ease.

After all, it was Zhang He.

If Zhang He wants to make a detour to attack Wuzhangyuan, he will definitely bring no less troops, and Gao Xiang only brings 3,500 people, so he may not be able to stop Zhang He.

Therefore, Zhang Xi decided to go to Dachangji in person to see the specific situation.

If Zhang He really went there, then Zhang Xi personally commanded the soldiers to block Zhang He in Dachangji, which was a little more certain.

If this is Zhang He's plan to attack the west, and the purpose is still his own Chinese army battalion, then even if Zhang Xi can't return reinforcements and the camp is broken, at least some of the soldiers can be commanded and continue to drag Zhang He's soldiers.

As soon as Zhang Xi left like this, there must be a general in the Chinese army battalion to stay and guard, and this duty is none other than Gao Xiang.

Although Liu Yin's ability can also be done, Liu Yin's time in the army is too short after all, and his qualifications and merits are insufficient, so it is better for Gao Xiang to leave insurance.

After careful consideration, Zhang Xi ordered to take Liu Yin as the vanguard of the front, lead 1,000 troops, and go straight to Dachangji, and he followed with 5,000 soldiers, and in the camp, Gao Xiang led 7,000 soldiers to stay, and the day after Zhang Xi left, he immediately launched an attack on Wugong County.

It is necessary to capture Wugong County, completely cut off Zhang He's way back, and block Zhang He in the mountains.

In short, the plan is such a plan, since it has been decided, Zhang Xi did not waste time, and immediately asked Liu Yin to select soldiers and horses, and set off immediately early the next morning.

Liu Yin and Gao Xiang had nothing to say about Zhang Xi's plan, and they went to prepare for battle.

But after nightfall, Gao Xiang still went to find Liu Yin.

There is only one purpose - to stuff the three hundred people of Feng Xi's department into Liu Yin's vanguard team.

Gao Xiang is really taking care of Feng Xi.

Once the battle begins tomorrow, Gao Xiang will stay in the camp and preside over the siege of Wugong County.

But in this place of Wugong County, without Zhang He in charge and with only more than 1,000 troops, Gao Xiang really didn't think there was anything difficult to attack.

Defeating Wugong County is not much merit, and if you can't beat Wugong County, then there is a problem.

Letting Feng Xi follow him to attack Wugong County here is really not enough for Feng Xi to establish enough meritorious deeds, prove himself again, and reinstate the official.

On the contrary, Zhang Xi led the troops to block Zhang He, and that place was the place where people really needed to be employed and could also make meritorious contributions.

Therefore, for the sake of his good brother, Gao Xiang could only come to ask Liu Yin, hoping that Liu Yin could give Feng Xi such a chance.

And Liu Yin is honest, Liu Yin himself didn't want to refuse.

In today's Han army, the power of the Jingzhou faction still occupies an absolute advantage, followed by the Dongzhou faction, such as Wu Yi, Li Yan, Meng Da, Fa Zheng and others, who also occupy a large position.

The Yizhou locals, except for Huang Quan, did not have many people in high positions in the army.

Since Liu Yin decided to make a position in the army, it is far from enough to rely on Zhang Xi's attention.

Now that Gao Xiang, the general of the Jingzhou faction, has a favor dragged to his side, Liu Yin is obviously not stupid enough to push out, after all, the influence of the Jingzhou faction in the army is too great.

Again, although Liu Yin and Feng Xi have not had much contact, Liu Yin probably knows a little about this person's ability. Leading an army alone may be almost meaningless, but when a captain charges into battle, Feng Xi is definitely qualified.

Therefore, Liu Yin not only agreed to Gao Xiang's request and transferred Feng Xi to his account, but also assigned Feng Xi 200 soldiers, so that Feng Xi could mobilize 500 soldiers and horses.

This favor is very big, you must know that Zhang Xi's military power to Liu Yin is only a front vanguard of 1,000 people, and Liu Yin has already handed over half of the soldiers and horses to Feng Xi to command.

After that. Liu Yin went to see Zhang Xi overnight and reported the matter.

Liu Yin is not stupid.

As a middle-level general in the army, the transfer of a lieutenant really does not need to alarm the commander of the first army, and it is indeed okay for Gao Xiang and Liu Yin to discuss this matter.

Both of them have this right, and there are no problems with the procedure.

But Feng Xi is the person who has been listed on Zhang Xi's side after all, and he has just been punished, and now Liu Yin has taken Feng Xi over again for the sake of favor, and he has to tell Zhang Xi about this matter.

And Zhang Xi's reaction to this matter was no reaction.

Zhang Xi didn't hate Feng Xi, he wanted to beat Feng Xi to death with a stick, Zhang Xi just thought that Feng Xi's ability was not enough for him to lead an army to fight.

But if it was just a lieutenant in charge of five hundred people in the middle of the Liu Yin camp, Zhang Xi didn't think that Feng Xi even had this ability.

As for what Gao Xiang and Liu Yin were thinking, Zhang Xi was actually clear.

Although Zhang Xi also thinks that there are a lot of Jingzhou generals in the army today, and there should be no such factional relationship in the army, but there is no way, Liu Bei has been in charge of Yizhou for less than ten years, and there is such a thing as military power, not to mention Liu Bei, even Zhang Xi does not dare to hand it over to people he does not trust.

So. How about love, this matter, you will have a headache in the future, and you shouldn't have a headache yourself, that is Zhuge Liang, the Zhongshu Ling, and Guan Yu, the general, should have a headache.
