The map of Hanzhong in front of Liu Chan has gradually been enriched.

Walking south and north, observing the terrain, and going down to the grassroots level to understand the situation, Liu Chan has long since lost his white appearance, but his skin is bronzed, but there is a different sense of beauty in it.

He said slowly: "The Qinling Mountains and the Daba Mountains and the Hanshui River Valley form the main body of Hanzhong's topography, and the two mountain ranges stand parallel to each other, stretching from east to west, and Hanzhong is sandwiched between them.

There is Wuguan at the east end of Qinling, there is Sanguan at the west end, and there are three other valley roads, which can be the passage between Hanzhong and Sichuan, they are Bao Slope Road, Fu Luo Road, Meridian Road. ”

If Liu Chan's skin is bronze, then Fei Yi's skin is almost as black as Xiao Hei.

Every day Khan turned his back to the loess to the sky, and in the past half a month, Fei Yi's horses have run to death, and several important places in Hanzhong have been explored.

At this moment, Fei Yi stepped forward and said: "Not only that, between Hanzhong and Yizhou, there are also two valley roads that cross the Daba Mountains: Jinniu Road and Micang Road. Hanzhong is sandwiched between the two upper reaches of Guanzhong and Yizhou, and the degree of stakes is far from being comparable to that of the Huai River in the east.

There is still a vast area to maneuver in the north and south of the Huaihe River, but there is little room for maneuver in the Hanzhong region. ”

The temporary gains and losses of the north and the south in the Hanzhong region are often enough to have a decisive impact. From the founding of the Shu Han Dynasty to the fall of the Han Dynasty, the gains and losses of operating in the Hanzhong region one after the other typically reflect the importance of Hanzhong's position between the north and the south.

After carefully exploring the terrain of Hanzhong, Liu Chan also knew why Zhuge Liang did not directly use troops against Guanzhong, but went out of Qishan to fight for Longxi.

The interests of the north and the south in Hanzhong are so stale, but the world stretching from east to west is very vast.

The lowlands of the Western Han River Valley provide a relatively flat passage from Hanzhong to Longxi. The topography of Longxi is significantly higher than that of Guanzhong and Sichuan, and it is more difficult to attack Longxi from Guanzhong and Sichuan, but it is easier to attack Sichuan from Longxi.

Liu Chan took out the sheath sword in his hand, pointed at Longxi, and said: "Instead of fighting for the short length of a day in the north and south of the Qinling Mountains, it is better to take the distance and fight for Longxi." ”

Longxi obtained, can seize the land of Liangzhou, Naxi Domain.

Doing business with foreigners, this is the only way to make a lot of money, and you can get a BMW in the Western Regions, and you can win the horse breeding land!

Compared with directly attacking Chang'an and going head-to-head with Wei, Longxi seems to have a little possibility of obtaining.

"Your Highness is preparing to send troops to Longxi?"

On the side, Zhang Bao's eyes suddenly lit up.

That's right, after eating ashes behind Liu Chan's back for a month, Zhang Bao finally caught up with Liu Chan when Liu Chan stayed in Hanzhong.

"It's just an idea, and if you want to send troops, I'm afraid it will be a few years later."

Or in a word, no money and no food, what to fight?

The top priority at the moment is to restore national strength and people's livelihood as soon as possible.

Zhang Bao looked pity.

He originally thought that His Royal Highness had been staying in Hanzhong for more than half a month, and he was preparing to use troops against Guanzhong, but he didn't want it to be so.

For example, the land of Runan, His Royal Highness can take it, although the Wei army in this pass claims to have 100,000, but our Han army has passed by, it must be 100,000, even if it is a million, with His Royal Highness, you can take it at will!

"Yizhou is still too closed."

Liu Chan sighed in his heart.

The Qinling Mountains extend to the east and then turn to the north, connecting with the Bear's Ear Mountain, Kunshan Mountain, Huashan Mountain and other mountains, forming Tongguan Danger; Daba Mountain extends to the east and then turns to the south, connecting with Wudang Mountain, Jingshan, Wushan and other mountains to form the Three Gorges Danger.

These dangers were the geographical basis for Sichuan and Shaanxi to form the "land of abundance," but they also caused difficulties for the eastward expansion of the Sichuan and Shaanxi forces to a certain extent.

If Liu Chan only wanted a corner of peace, the terrain of this land of abundance was naturally excellent.

However, what he thinks about is going east, but the Northern Expedition, but dominating the world!

"Your Highness, since you don't want to start a military affair, why don't you go back to Chengdu."

I thought that I could make meritorious deeds, but I couldn't do meritorious service, so what did I do here?

It's better to hurry back to Chengdu to get rewarded.

He learned from the grapevine that the king would reward him heavily.

In addition, the two younger sisters in the family often write letters to urge, Zhang Baoke wants to hug his eldest nephew, so he naturally doesn't want to stay in Hanzhong.

"Don't worry, it's just a matter of a few days, I'll wait for one more person."

Wait for others?

Guan Xing immediately reacted.

"Your Highness is waiting for Huang Xu'er Cao Zhang?"

Liu Chan nodded.

"If this person can be used by our Han China and plan Guanzhong, he will be more than 10% sure."

More than one percent sure?

Zhang Bao's face showed half-belief and suspicion.

"With him a lost dog, can he increase his certainty?"

Guan Xing also looked incredulous.

"His Royal Highness may want to use that Cao Zhang's prestige in Guanzhong, but he is in Guanzhong, even if it is the old department, he does not dare to contact him, how can such a person help him attack Guanzhongyan?"

Liu Chan smiled and said, "Disobey Cao Pi, the king of Wei, and cling to Cao Zhang, who has no hope at all, they are naturally unwilling. But if it is attached to our Han China, with the thread of Huang Xuer Cao Zhang, it may be able to achieve unexpected results. ”

Liu Bei's current momentum can be said to be the strongest among the Three Kingdoms.

First, the Battle of Hanzhong defeated Cao Cao head-on.

Next, Liu Chan led his troops to take the nine counties of Jingxiang, and defeated Jiangdong, and even took Runan into his pocket.

Cao Wei was in civil strife, and Jiangdong was weak.

In addition, Liu Bei also has the shining identity of the Han clan.

Sanxing Han, the destiny is in Han.

It doesn't seem to be just talking.

People all over the world seem to be faintly aware that the destiny of heaven seems to be really in Yizhou now!

Liu Chan's Shang Alliance and Jian Military Division had already infiltrated Chang'an.

And this penetration is still very smooth.

During this period, there were many scholars, officials, and heroes, all of whom showed the intention of belonging.

Of course

It's just a sign of belonging.

If Liu Chan can lead his troops into Chang'an, they will change their banners in minutes, but if Liu Chan doesn't enter it, they will not really oppose Wei and be a chess piece that cannot be grasped in life and death.

With the presence of Cao Zhang, Liu Chan better strengthened his connection with these people.

"Newspaper~"

At this moment, the voice of the steward came from outside the hall.

"Your Highness, Huang Xu'er, Marquis of Yanling, has arrived outside the city."

Arrived?

Liu Chan smiled and stood up from the tiger skin cushion.

He patted the dust off his body and said, "Gentlemen, come with me to meet Huang Xu'er." ”

Anyway, the gesture has to be made, and it doesn't cost money anyway?

The housekeeping skills of the old Liu family, that can't be lost!

Outside the city.

Cao Zhang led hundreds of people, looking a little unbearable.

Only then did he flee from Luoyang to Guanzhong, and then took the meridian road, and marched for 20 days to reach the Longting in Hanzhong, and then came to Nanzheng in Hanzhong non-stop.

It's that he is used to fighting, and this kind of high-intensity marching also makes his body a little unbearable.

On the march for two months in a row, who can withstand it?

At this moment, Cao Zhang looked haggard, with two dark circles on his eye sockets, like a panda.

"I don't know if the crown prince of Hanzhong will entrust me with a heavy responsibility as he said in the letter."

was in Guanzhong before, for fear that the Wei army would take a back road and threaten his life.

Cao Zhang's life is now in Hanzhong, but he is worried about his future.

There is a chapter later, which should be relatively late.
