After Huo Jun arrived in Xuanhan County, he continued to march north along Bucao Shui, stopping at Dongguan Township (now Wanyuan City) on the bank of Bucao Shui.

At this point in the march, the route of Huo Jun's soldiers into Hanzhong was also about to come out, that is, to take the Dongba Road, pass through the Eren area, cross the Daba Mountain, and reach Nanxiang in Hanzhong.

This route is also the road for Zhang Lu to flee from Nanzheng and want to run into Bazhong. This road will be put into later generations, and it can also be called Lychee Road.

The north of Lychee Road is the Qinling Meridian Ancient Road, and the south is the East Ba Road in Bazhong. The lychees of Fuling go north along the Lychee Road, and the fast horse walks thousands of miles, and it can reach Chang'an in two days.

Before entering Shu, Huo Jun had communicated with Yan Pu and Li Xiu many times, and talked about the problem of which road to rescue Hanzhong.

Since ancient times, Yizhou has entered Hanzhong, where there are three roads, namely Jinniu, Rice Warehouse, and Dongba. The Golden Bull Road starts from Shudi, goes to Yangping Pass, is too far away from Badi, and there is Yangping Pass, it is difficult to pass, this is the first road to be vetoed.

The two roads of Micang and Dongba all start from the Badi ditch, one goes north along the ditch water, and the other goes north along the Bucao water.

If the two roads are compared with each other, the rice cang road is mostly infested by Han people, and the road is shorter than the East bus road, but it is also more difficult.

Dongba Road is located between the Badi Mountains, which stretch for hundreds of miles, and since the pre-Qin period, the people have been entrenched in it. If there is no guide to guide the way, and there is no logistics for the local people, it is almost impossible for ordinary people to cross it.

Before Zhang Fei broke through Hanzhong, he chose the easy-to-pass ditch water to go north, break through the Hanping Pass, and enter Hanzhong. Now that Xiahou Yuan has entered Hanzhong, he will naturally be more wary of Micang Dao, and it will not be easy to support Hanzhong from Micang Dao.

After thinking about it for a long time, Huo Jun decided to take the Dongba Road, pass through the crowded Bazhong Mountains, and aid Hanzhong.

In order not to let Xiahou Yuan notice his movements, Huo Jun blocked his news, making everyone in Shuzhong think that Gan Ning was aiding Hanzhong in the north. also let Gan Ning blempty on the Micang Mountain Road, attracting the attention of Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He.

He sneaked into Bazhong, and with the help of Zhang Lu, he took the Dongba Road and rushed to Hannan.

Dongguan Township, Southern Army Camp.

In the big tent, Wang Ping fiddled with the geographical sand table of Hanzhong alone, marking all the iconic mountains and rivers such as Weiyang, Chenggu, Dingjun Mountain, Liangshan, and Hanshan, and adjusting the location of the mountains and rivers from time to time according to the map.

Then, according to the battle report from Gan Ning, Wang Ping planted the flag representing Cao Jun on the sand table.

Sand table, this is the unknown general taught him the technique, according to what he said to march to fight, there must be a battlefield line report, and know the terrain of mountains and rivers, the method of breaking the enemy should be clear in the chest.

When Wang Ping was making the Hanzhong sand table, Huo Jun was walking into the big tent with Yan Pu, and the verbal conversation was very eager.

"Great!"

Huo Jun had a smile on his face and said, "I'm worried about whether the old general will return in vain, and the war in Hanzhong is only the headquarters of our army." Today, with the news of the old general, the two armies will converge and will be able to break through Xiahou and relieve the siege of Hanzhong. ”

As he spoke, Huo Jun instructed: "Gong Miao, reward the people who come to report, and select a few people to follow him to the old general's camp to deliver news to our army." ”

"No!"

Huang Zhong sent people to contact the people living in Badi, to find out the news of Zhang Lu, and asked them to search for Zhang Lu's news on his behalf.

With the help of the people in the Pengxi (now Renhe) valley, through the people from all over the country, he contacted Shangyanpu and informed Huo Jun of the movements of Huang Zhong's department.

In fact, the distance between Huang Zhong and Huo Jun is not very far, only two or three hundred miles apart, but there is a Daba Mountain Range in the middle, cutting off the news of the two. However, Daba Mountain is not a moat, and there is a river valley in the meantime, which is just not well known to outsiders.

For example, Ren River Valley Road, passing through Wanyuan City, passing through the Daba Mountains, and flowing into the Han River in Ziyang County. This is the only road that passes through Bazhong and the three eastern counties, and the people are distributed in between.

If there are people who are familiar with the terrain and are good at running, they can get in touch with the long-lost Huang Zhong Department through the Ren River Valley Road.

Wang Ping held the small flag and asked, "General, where is the old general?" ”

Yan Pu pointed to the west city on the map and said: "The old general has gone north from Zigui, and now he is stationed in Anyang, and he can enter Hanzhong west at any time." ”

Wang Ping planted the flag outside the sand table and said: "That is the case, the old general and our army can meet in Nanxiang." ”

Huo Jun propped his hand on the sand table, pointed and said: "Cao will Zhang Henan guard Micang Mountain and curb the danger; Xiahou Yuan stationed troops in Liangshan, looking down on Hanzhong; Ma Chao and Cao Hong raised heavy troops to besiege the city of Chuyang. At this time, if our army wants to relieve the siege of Hanzhong, the only way to break through the Hannan soldiers and horses is to break through the Hannan soldiers and horses first. ”

Chen Zhi frowned slightly, and said: "If you can break Zhang He first, dredge the Micang Mountain Road, and lead General Xingba to the north, and there are two cities in the north to share the troops, you may be able to attack Hannan." ”

Huo Jun stared at the sand table and asked thoughtfully, "What is Zijun's opinion?" ”

Wang Ping pondered for a while and said: "General, if according to what General Chen said, when our army blocks Xiahou Yuan in the north, send troops to echo General Xingba, and attack Zhang He in the south. When Zhang He was defeated, the Bazhong army could enter Hanzhong. ”

After a pause, Wang Ping pointed his finger at the sand table and said, "General, Xiahou Yuan is stationed in Liangshan, and Zhang He is guarding the Micang Mountain Road. However, between the two, there is a mountain named Han Mountain. ”

"Those who are in Hanshan look at Hanshui in the north, Bashan in the south, and Nanxiang in the east. Our army rushed to Nanxiang, turned westward, seized the steep Han Mountain, and blocked the passage between the two. ”

Hanzhong says that big is big, and small is small. The second battalion of Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He was stationed in Hannan, and they could not camp close to each other, and there were about hundreds of miles between the two battalions.

If it can be inserted between the two battalions, the sergeant will contain the danger, and Huo Jun will send troops to attack, and Zhang He's troops will be caught in the front and rear.

Huo Jun pondered a little and said: "Breaking Zhang He, echoing General Xingba, although he can enter Hannan, it is difficult to solve the siege of Hanzhong. If Xiahou Yuan can be broken, there may be hope for breaking the siege. ”

"What does the general mean?" Yan Pu asked.

Huo Jun chuckled a few times and said, "Why can't you both break Zhang He and win Xiahou Yuanhu?" ”

Defeating Zhang He and joining Gan Ning may be able to reverse the situation in Hanzhong, but it cannot resolve the crisis in Hanzhong. Unless Xiahou Yuan is killed and the Cao army in Hanzhong is plunged into a brief chaos, the crisis in Canyang can be resolved.

"This~"

The crowd hesitated slightly, as if they felt that it would be difficult to do this with the current strength.

Huo Jun looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Now that the fighter plane has appeared, it is advisable to pay heavy troops and speed words, cross Ba Mountain, and seize Han Mountain." ”

"Wang Ping led the seven departments to be the pioneers, opening roads in the mountains and building bridges in the water, and there must be no mistakes. I led the sergeants to follow closely behind, and the officers and men of each department were given half a month's ration. ”

"No!" Wang Ping responded,

"Where is Yan Pu?"

"In!"

"After the army sets off, you stay in Bazhong, and send people to supervise the transportation of grain and grass for the army, there must be no mistake!"

"No!" Yan Pu commanded.

Huo Jun led the army north, and it was inappropriate to let Zhang Lu stay in Xuanhan, so he asked Zhang Lu to take Zhang Lu back to Jiangzhou and hand it over to Zhuge Liang to be responsible. Yan Pu took over Zhang Lu's responsibilities and helped Huo Jun contact the people and transport grain and grass.

"Order someone to send an order to the old general, so that he will set off from Anyang, and rush to Nanxiang to join our army." Huo Jun said.

"No!"

The crowd answered.

——

Not only captured the fighter plane, but with Huo Jun's character, he had to go even if he drove thousands of miles, not to mention hundreds of miles of mountain roads.

From Dongguan Township to Nanxiang, it is about 200 miles. Under the elite opening of the way, Huo Jun led 5,000 Bai Yu and spent five days to run to Nanxiang in Hanzhong.

When Huo Jun walked out of Bashan, he suddenly felt relieved. The steepness of Bashan, the steep peaks and ravines, the ruggedness of the mountain roads, and the unimaginable danger made Huo Jun call Heavenly Hell.

When running to Nanxiang, Huo Jun and Huang Zhong met as scouts. At noon, Huang Zhong led 3,000 elites, and nearly three months later, he met Huo Jun again.

Seeing Huo Jun, who had not been seen for a long time, Huang Zhong couldn't help but shout: "Huo Du! ”

"Old General!"

Huo Jun and Huang Zhong entered the account and said with a smile: "The old general's trip to Hanzhong, is the journey smooth?" ”

Huang Zhong sat on the chair and said happily: "With the blessing of Huo Du's plan, he was loyal to the Yi people to open the way, and the soldiers went to Fangling, the city was short and the soldiers were outnumbered, and fortunately, the army's brother-in-law and brother Kuai Taishou surrendered." Later, all the way to the north, the lord of Lai rewarded the grace of the lord, and the Shen brothers offered grain to attach, and then leveled Shangyong, Fangling and other counties. ”

"Only the ignorance of the governor made Zhong very anxious. When the governor wrote a letter, he did not dare to delay, and led 3,000 elites to Nanxiang for the governor to requisition, if there is a delay in the fighter, please punish the governor! ”

"Haha!"

Huo Jun laughed a few times and said, "The old general came at the right time, why delay the fighter?" ”

"It's the old general's expedition to the three eastern counties, and it's a lot of hardship!"

"Huo Du!"

Huo Jun raised his hand and corrected: "Since a certain person entered the bar, most of the sergeants do not know the whereabouts of a certain person. Now that the soldiers enter Nanxiang, it is advisable to prepare for it, and the old general can be called the general. ”

"General!"

Huang Zhong woke up and immediately changed his words, saying: "General, our army has reached the periphery of Nanzheng and Chenggu, how to march now, and whether to join the sect master first?" ”

Huo Jun pondered a little and said, "Our army is rushing to this point, and Cao Jun has not noticed it. If it converges with Deyan, it will disturb the soldiers and horses of Hanbei. ”

"Let's break the enemy first, and then echo with Deyan to relieve the siege of the Yang soldiers."

Huang Zhong cheered up and said, "Please command, general!" ”

"Tomorrow I will rush to the west, and the old general will drive more than 100 miles with me to Hanshan Mountain and occupy Hanshan Mountain!" Huo Jun said.

"No!"

Nanxiang is located in the southeast corner of the Hanzhong Basin, which can actually be seen as a small basin, formed by the water of Nanxiang. Nanxiang is more than 200 miles away from Hanshan Mountain, and although it is also rugged in the middle of the mountain road, it is far easier to walk than the Dongba Mountain Road.

Huo Jun led 10,000 elite people to attack, and in the early morning two days later, he appeared among the hills of Hannan under the horrified gaze of Cao Jun's scouts.

Hanshan is more than 70 miles away from the Micang Mountain Road that Zhang He insisted on, and more than 30 miles away from the Liangshan camp of Xiahou Yuan.

Under the leadership of Wang Ping, the seven divisions of the people broke through the outpost of the Cao army in Hanshan. Huo Jun waved the banners of the two generals 'Chen' and 'Huang', and camped between Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He.

Faced with the enemy army that suddenly appeared in Hannan, Hannam's Cao army panicked.
