Prime Minister take care

Chapter 235

Baochengguan.

The road to Shu is difficult. From Sanshuiguan to the south, there is only one rice warehouse road that can pass into Shu. There are high mountains and ridges to the east and west, and there are few people.

Traveling to Baocheng Pass, you can see Jiange to the south, Wuping County to the west, and Zhounan County to the east.

Baochengguan is surrounded by mountains, with a river flowing through it, and the terrain is dangerous. It is the gate to control Zhounan County and the key point of the Shu Kingdom.

Zhounan is only a county, but it enjoys the most precious land in the north of Yizhou and is also a good place for garrisoning troops.For this reason, the princes who wanted to obtain Yizhou in the past dynasties all made controlling Zhounan County their first priority.

If they abandon Zhou Nan County and go straight to Shu, they will not only be blocked by Jiange, but they will also be cut off from their retreat and the entire army will be in danger of being destroyed.

The sky was gray, Jin Xin stood on the high mountain, looking at the clouds in the distance with a chilling feeling.

"Did Liang Jun appear overnight?"

In the distant mountains and fields, the fog is shrouded, but the prototype of the camp can be faintly seen, with sentry towers erected and soldiers patrolling.

Jin Xin's face was solemn. The reconnaissance report turned around yesterday evening and Liang Jun was still a hundred miles away.But overnight, they marched hundreds of miles and established a camp.

As far as Jin Xin knew, each of the Liang army generals had their own strengths, but the only army with such capabilities was probably Zheng Da's Jianliu Camp.

"General, why don't we rush into their camp and test the truth?"

Jin Xin nodded. Regardless of whether it was Zheng Da or not, and whether Liang Jun was playing tricks on him or not, he had to confirm it.

"Attention, just test the truth and falsehood, don't be tempted to fight."

"Yes, General!"

Baocheng Pass is not a fortress-shaped pass, but a natural pass with a strategic buffer area of ​​more than ten miles from east to west.There are mountains in the north and south of this place, and a river flows through it and flows into Zhounan County.The Heigui army was stationed here, blocking the mountains and blocking the water, and built a fortress.Even if [-] Liang troops attacked together, they would be unable to do anything.

After Jin Xin gave the order, Liao Cheng walked up not long after.As the deputy to the chief general of the Black Caps Army, he assisted Jin Xin in taking charge of the Black Caps Forces.

"Uncle Liao, what's the matter?"

"Zheng Da sent a greeting card and invited you to get together."

Jin Xin smiled and waved.

"Although I have an old friendship with him, our camps are different at this time. No matter what, let's send troops to explore his position first."

"Does the general suspect that this is Zheng Da's plan to delay the attack?"

"When two armies are at war, people's hearts are unpredictable."

Jin Xinchang breathed out, and the cold air from the mountains and fields in the morning was inhaled into his lungs, and he felt a sudden chill, but his head was somewhat awake.

"Uncle Liao, tell us to go down and get the whole army ready. Zheng Da's Jianliu camp is well defended, and he must not be allowed to gain a foothold here. After our army has found out the true situation, we will attack the camp immediately."

"My subordinate understands."

Liang Jun camp.Arrows are like rain, galloping like flying.

Outside the camp, the soldiers of the Heiyu Army were like ferocious beasts. As soon as they fought, Liang Jun suffered a loss and lost dozens of soldiers.

As a last resort, the former camp leader had to order the entire army to retreat into the camp and use arrows to defend against the enemy.

After only three moments of fighting, the Heiyu army withdrew, but the impression they left on the Jianliu Camp soldiers was profound.

In the past, they were in the same camp, and Liang Jun's soldiers didn't feel any difference.Now that they are hostile, they finally know how powerful the Black Dragon Army is.

"Is this the Heigui Army, the most powerful army in the world?"

The former battalion chief general was a little taken aback. Unknowingly, a general with a medium build and a gray beard came over and looked at the departing black army with regret in his eyes.

"The predecessor of the Black Caps Army was the Golden Knife Camp under Duan Hui, a Mu in Jingzhou. Duan Hui was so powerful that he forced the Lord of Wu from the east and shocked the heroes from the north. He dared to compete with Chen Shi. As long as he was in Jingzhou, Yang Zhong also I didn't dare to look east. What a pity! Duan Hui was a hero, but he gave birth to an incompetent son Duan Xiao, so that the foundation was taken away by Cai Tong. But even so, the Golden Blade Camp still stayed in Nanyang. Later, by chance, for Used by Jin Xiu."

"General!"

This gray-bearded general is General Zheng Da of Jianliu Camp.Among the Liang army, no army was better at building fortifications than his Jianliu camp.Huan Wu sent him here to stabilize his position and prepare for the arrival of Liang Jun's large forces.

After all, the road to Shu is difficult, and there is almost no support from Sanshui Pass to here.Liang Jun's grain road was extended for more than a hundred miles, which was extremely inconvenient.

"Jin Xiu is a genius. He created his own Five Tigers, promoted the army, and created this powerful black army in the world. Surrounded by many heroes, he established a foothold in Nanyang County and defeated Cai Tong. The ambition of Nanyang. The Jin family has been run by two generations, which has deep roots in the Heiyu army and has a huge influence. When Jin Xiu returned and surrendered, the lord treated him with the courtesy of a prince, and despite everyone's objections, he married Princess Huan Ying to Jin Xin, which can be said to be The courtesy is very special.”

"But Jin Xin ultimately betrayed his master and surrendered to Yang Xian."

When the former camp leader said this, there was still some anger in his words.

"Yes! I don't understand either. Among the younger generals, he is the one I am most optimistic about. Why did Jin Xin rebel? Why did he surrender to Yang Xian? Doesn't he know that the lord can tolerate any prince in the world? Only Yang Xian can't be tolerated. I want to get an answer from him, because I know that he is not the kind of villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and forgets justice for profit. But in the end, he guarded against me and sent these soldiers forward. Let’s test it.”

"The general is always cautious, so how could he fight an unprepared battle? The general invites you sincerely, and Jin Xin uses the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman."

Zheng Da sighed and said slowly: "Forget it, this war is imminent. The Lord ordered us to set up camp outside Baocheng Pass. Yang Xian will not let us gain a foothold here. Go ahead and hurry up. Build a camp and protect the water source. The [-] troops in Sanshui Pass will join us soon. During this period, this camp must not be lost."

"I will understand at the end."

Zheng Da breathed a sigh of relief and looked towards Baocheng Pass in the distance.

In fact, according to Zheng Da's idea, Huan Wu didn't need to pay any attention to Yang Xian. After all, there was a gap of six states between them.Huan Wu held the Central Plains in his hands and gained the best place in the world.As long as Huan Wu waits quietly for ten years to recuperate and restore his people's strength, the gap between Liang and Shu will only get wider and wider.

Once Nanyang was defeated, Liang Jun was in a bad situation.In Zheng Da's mind, Liang Jun had to rest for at least three years before he could regain his strength.

The road to Shu is difficult, both for Liang Jun and for Shu Jun.It is actually not easy for Yang Xian to go north to the Central Plains.

The older generation of the Huan family was too obsessed with Yang Xian.Nowadays, among the entire Liang Army, a group of generals with foreign surnames actually do not agree with the attack on Shu at this time.However, the generals of the Huan family, like Huan Biao, Huan Zhong, Huan Gong and others, advocated all-out efforts to conquer Shu and unify the world.

"If God bless Liang Jun, I might get that answer this time! It's just my lord! Your move is really too dangerous."
