The old road, also known as Chencang Road or Jialing Road, from Hanzhong to the road of the water is too much, after the two counties of Hui take the old road valley to Feng County to the north, is Chencang, here is an important place for Han Xin to plan the Northern Expedition.

At this time, the plank road has been built by the Han army, and hundreds of troops are added every day, which has confused Zhang Han and made him ignore the rest of the main roads that can go north, although there are several fortresses of the Yong army north of Chencang, but there are not too many soldiers and horses, and it is even more difficult to block the Han army.

At this time, it was already the middle of August, the weather gradually turned cold, a team of about 100,000 people, like a long snake forward, at the back of the team, is a heavy car, the wheels are mainly iron, can withstand the rugged bumps of the mountain road, and at the front of the team, a flag flutters in the wind, the flag is cyan as a whole, and a big Korean character is written on it.

This team, is the Northern Expedition army led by Han Xin, mostly cavalry and infantry, in order to be able to get out of the old way as soon as possible, this army has been reduced from a row of five people to a row of three people to ensure a smooth march, and at this time, the Han army's military robes are mostly red, which represents fire virtue, implying that Liu Bang is the Red Emperor.

And after this 100,000 people, more than 100 miles away is Liu Bang's main force, far more than Xiang Zhuang imagined, Liu Bang's main force has as many as 200,000 people, nearly half a year of power accumulation, plus Liu Bang Guangbu Ende in the land of Shu Han, the people are grateful for Liu Bang's kindness, are willing to join the army, follow Liu Bang's Northern Expedition.

The Han army is mighty, moving forward, Han Xin is riding a horse in the Chinese army at this time, there are three thousand guards here, Han Xin personally selected, everyone is burly, can be a ten, Han Xin left in the Chinese army to listen to the use, became Han Xin's personal team, everyone is wearing black robes, it is easy to distinguish them from the main force of the Han army, and on the side, is the Northern Expedition of the left and right deputy generals Guan Ying and Zhou Bo, and a general, is Fan Xu, he has led 30,000 vanguard cavalry to take the lead, as a vanguard, straight to Chencang.

At this time, it can be said that the Han army is like a fish in water, with Han Xin's training, the Han army has become more elite, the old, weak, sick and disabled have been transferred to the logistics troops, and those who can stay on the front line to kill the enemy are all young and strong, and the Han army also has a major feature, whether they are cavalry or infantry, whether they go into battle to kill the enemy or not, every soldier has a light armor amulet, which is Han Xin personally ordered the ordnance supervisor to build, in order to make the soldiers more brave and indomitable when they go into battle to kill the enemy.

At this time, the team was still moving forward slowly, Zhou Bo and Guan Ying didn't know what to discuss, and soon, Guan Ying came to Han Xin's side on horseback, and arched his hand: "General, the soldiers have been marching continuously for a morning, and the sun is full at this time, it is better to let the soldiers rest in front for a while, and it is not too late to eat and then hurry." ”

Han Xin was always thinking about something, and at this time he was interrupted by the baby, he looked up at the sky, the sun was right, and then he looked at the baby, and then asked, "How long will it take to get out of the Qinling Mountains?" ”

Guan Ying is not very familiar with this road, he handed a look to the pro-soldiers on the side, the pro-soldiers understood, immediately walked over, handed the map to Guan Ying, Guan Ying looked on the map for a while to find the location of the Chinese army at this time, he roughly estimated, a little dejected sighed: "It is estimated that there must be more than 300 miles of road." ”

Han Xin nodded slightly, he estimated the itinerary, if nothing else, when it was dark, he could go out of Qinling, nodded and said: "Order the three armies to rest on the spot for half an hour, and we will continue to hurry after half an hour." ”

……

Ten miles west of the road crossing, there is a military camp here, with nearly 10,000 defenders, and the garrison general is Meng Tao, a general under Wang Li, who is stationed here all the year round, just because the Han army is immersed in repairing the plank road in the east, Meng Tao never thought that the Han army would go north from here.

And these days, it is also very ordinary here, and there is no shadow of half of the Han army scouts at all, and Meng Tao is at ease day after day, year after year.

It stands to reason that women are not allowed to enter the barracks here, but Meng Tao never pays attention to these bullshit military regulations, he will bring one or two young and beautiful women every night, most of the women are from Chencang or Yu County north of the Wei River, where there are a lot of kilns, maybe Zhang Han is not strict control here, gambling here is also very prosperous, gamblers gather here every day, even the garrison under Meng Tao often escapes from the barracks, goes to Chencang or Yu County to play money, drink, and play with women.

On this day, Meng Tao returned from Yu County, pulling two women, the woman was charming and half leaning in Meng Tao's arms, and behind, several pro-soldiers looked at the two women greedily, but they were not blessed.

As soon as he came to the gate of the barracks, a tun commander greeted him and said, "General, General Wang Li has sent someone." ”

"What? Why didn't you let me know sooner! Meng Tao was slightly displeased, he pushed the two women in his arms behind him, and the soldiers immediately caught the two women, Meng Tao looked at several soldiers and snorted coldly: "Don't touch my women, take them to my tooth tent, and I'll be back in a while." ”

Several pro-soldiers sang the promise again and again, and left in a hurry with two women, at this time, Meng Tao tidied up his robe, and then strode towards the camp, along the way, the patrol soldiers saluted Meng Tao one after another, this feeling is Meng Tao's favorite, there is a condescending feeling.

Soon, Meng Tao came to the big tent of the Chinese army, and a personal soldier guarding the camp tent greeted him and whispered to Meng Tao: "It is the army under General Wang Li, Xu Liang." ”

Meng Tao nodded, the soldiers opened the curtain for him, Meng Tao slowly walked into the big tent, only to see a middle-aged man sitting in the guest seat quietly drinking tea, Meng Tao laughed and greeted him: "Let the army join the army wait for a long time, my sin is also." ”

"Hehe, General Meng, you're finally back." Xu Liang said with a little displeasure, at this time he had been waiting here for two hours, and when he saw Meng Tao for the first time, he vented his dissatisfaction in his heart, at this time, Meng Tao could only laugh dryly, and came to the guest seat next to Xu Liang, and also picked up a soft seat and sat down, then smiled: "What kind of wind invited the army to join the army?" ”

"What wind? Han Style! Xu Liang's tone changed suddenly, he looked at Meng Tao very unhappily, and said: "Recently, the king has ordered that all villages need to be strictly defended to prevent the Han army from going north, you are here, do you have anything to find?" ”

"Of course not." Meng Tao shook his hand vigorously and said with a dry smile: "The plank road is burned, so how young can it be repaired?" Besides, I don't think they will climb mountains and wade through rivers to the north from the Qinling Mountains, the roads here are difficult to navigate, they will not cross my defense line so easily, as long as they see my Meng Tao's general flag, they will inevitably flee from the wind. ”

Seeing Meng Tao talking eloquently, Xu Liang's unhappiness in his heart was even stronger, he snorted coldly, and reprimanded: "Regardless of whether the Han army will go north from here, you must defend strictly, don't be careless, if you lose Dazhai, be careful of your head." ”

"Yes...... Be...... The last general must be strictly defended and send more scouts. Meng Tao smiled, and Xu Liang got up and said: "Okay, I have to go to other camps for a walk, you remember, don't be careless, General Wang specially instructed that no Han people should be let go." ”

"By all means...... Certain. Meng Tao smiled and arched his hand again, at this time, Xu Liang walked out of the big tent quickly, until he walked away, Meng Tao snorted and spat out a mouthful of phlegm, and scolded: "What's the matter, the dog fights the human power." ”

At this time, Meng Tao got up and walked to the map, he looked at the map on the table, and then looked at the long mountain road to the south from here, and couldn't help sneering: "Unless you are a fool, you will go from here." ”

After sneering for a while, Meng Tao suddenly remembered the two beauties he had just brought back, these two beauties were first-class goods, and they had spent a lot of money to bring them back, so they couldn't let the beauties wait for a long time.

At this time, Meng Tao was completely carried away by the beauty, Xu Liang's words just now had already been left behind, at this time he picked up a small box on the table, the small box was an aphrodisiac prepared by the warlock, and walked quickly to the outside of the tent.

……

After the plank road, the stretch of the Qinling mountain road, here is not particularly difficult, for the 30,000 vanguard cavalry, their marching speed is far from the main force of Han Xin's army can be compared, at this time the sun has not yet set, Fan Xu's army has arrived at a place about twenty miles away from Meng Tao Dazhai, scouts in front of the probe three times, but did not find a Yongjun patrolling back and forth, what does this mean? It shows that the Yongjun did not value here, nor did they think that the Han army would go north from here, their goals are concentrated in the east, concentrated in the place where the plank road can enter and exit, and here will be the first achievement since Fan Hao came out of Hanzhong.

An irrepressible excitement surged into his heart, Fan Xu looked up at the sky at this time, the sun was slowly setting in the west, in a while, the sky was going to be dark, the time of the main attack was gradually approaching, after a little thought, Fan Xu turned around and ordered: "All get off the horse and eat, after dark, we will attack the enemy camp." ”

The order was conveyed one by one, and the 30,000 cavalry dismounted and ran towards the woods on both sides of the road, the horses gnawed the autumn grass in the woods, and Fan Xu sat down on a stone, and a personal soldier brought wine and meat, and Fan Xu took it and chewed it heavily.

After a day and a night of continuous travel, Fan Xu felt that his whole body was about to freeze, although he was tired, but the joy before the war made Fan Xu forget this fatigue and pain.

After eating for a while, the sky gradually darkened, and soldiers began to light torches, and the light of the torches around them was as bright as day, and at the same time, a group of cavalry galloped from a distance, and when they came closer, the cavalry captain led by him arched his hand and said: "General, General Han has an order, ordering you to take the mountain pass and march to Chencang." ”

After hearing the captain's words, Fan Xu nodded, the captain turned his horse's head and galloped south, at this time, Fan Xu also got up and looked at the sky, it was not early, at this time, it was the time for the enemy to have dinner, and he could take this opportunity to surprise the enemy camp.

"All for Lao Tzu to get on the horse, our great merit is here, follow me to attack the enemy camp!"
