Prime Minister take care

Chapter 238 The Power of the Horns
Outside Baocheng Pass, Liang Junying.

In Zheng Da's camp, all the generals of the Liang army who were attacking Shu were among them.Just like Rong Can, Disheng, Huan Zilu and other generals, there are more than ten people.

Zheng Da looked at the map hanging next to the handsome case, frowning.

There are [-] Liang troops in the front and rear camps.In the past few days, the [-] Liang Army fought several games with the Black Army, each winning or losing.

At this time, Jin Xin had already led the Heihu army to defend Yangping Pass and no longer went out to fight.

Although Liang Jun had established a foothold outside Baocheng Pass, he did not achieve his strategic goal.

The Heiyu army is brave, both in attack and defense.It is precisely because of the characteristics of the Heilong army that it is both offensive and defensive that it is called the strongest army in the world.

But knowing this, Zheng Da still felt anxious in his heart.

Although the Liang army outside Baocheng Pass is the main force now, in the strategic design, it is to cooperate with Huan Biao's [-] troops coming from Que Valley, and the two will work together to defeat the Shu army.

Now that the camp has been established and the food route has been stabilized, I don't know when it will take to enter Zhounan County.
Yang Xian was not in a hurry to fight Liang Jun because there was a large amount of food and grass stored in Miancheng, Nanzhong and Gucheng at this time.The military rations at Baochengguan only need to be transferred from Miancheng, and the food road is only more than ten miles away.

However, the grain and grass for Liang Jun's camp were transported from Sanshuiguan, hundreds of miles away, and had to go through hundreds of miles of Shu Road. The hardships and losses involved were not comparable to those of the Shu army.

For every [-] point of food consumed by Yang Xian's Black Cap Army, Liang Jun needed to consume five or six points.The longer time passes, the greater Liang Jun's losses will be.Yongzhou is rich, but it cannot withstand such consumption.

"Generals, General Huan Biao has sent a letter, asking us to attack Baocheng Pass as soon as possible to contain Shu General Yang Ping's troops. What are your plans?"

As soon as Zheng Da finished speaking, all the Liang generals shook their heads.

"Baocheng Pass is the most powerful pass in the world, and Yang Xian has sent the Heihu Army to garrison it. If Jin Xin wants to defend it, he will risk the lives of [-] of our soldiers. I'm afraid he won't be able to break through his defense."

Di Sheng spoke up.Although these words were a bit pretentious, the generals of the Huan family in the camp did not feel disgusted.

Huan Zilu cupped his hands and said, "General Disheng is right. Attacking by force will only lead to death."

Huan Zilu was not as famous as Huan Youji and Huan Zishan among the young generals of the Huan Clan, but he was still very talented.

"I have a plan that I hope General Zheng will adopt."

Huan Zilu walked up to the map, beside Zheng Da, and pointed to a small road next to Baocheng Pass.

"The last general can lead a force to attack on this road, bypassing Baocheng Pass and entering Zhounan County. At this time, most of the Shu army's military strength is concentrated in Baocheng Pass and Nanzhong. If I lead the army to Leishi Mountain If we go up high and defend it, we can block the connection between Baocheng Pass and Nanzhong. Then it will definitely lead to chaos among the Shu army."

Zheng Da groaned, his brows gradually relaxed, but they were still frowning.

"Leishi Mountain is south of Mian City, and there is no shortage of water on it. But if we want to succeed, we must maintain a grain road from our camp to Leishi Mountain. This plan is too dangerous. Once the food road is cut off, Then Zilu, you will be heavily besieged by the Shu army, and we will not be able to rescue you at that time."

Huan Zilu cupped his hands and said: "It is actually not difficult to maintain the grain road. This trail runs east-west, with mountains in the north and south, and leads directly to Leishi Mountain. The Shu army from Baocheng Pass is here, and the number is not too large. . As long as we select elite soldiers and horses, it will be enough to maintain it."

"But Zilu, have you forgotten? Two years ago, in order to maintain the Yongshui Channel and eliminate the demon tribes on both sides of the strait, Yang Xian used a group of savage beasts. In the mountains, savage beasts are not easy to deal with!"

As soon as Zheng Da said this, all the generals were silent.There was a sudden sound outside the tent, and Lu Qingfei's figure walked out.

"Don't worry, generals, I have brought with me a dozen monks from Mount Jiuhua who are proficient in the art of domestication, enough to compete with Yang Xian's savage beasts."

As soon as Lu Qingfei said this, Zheng Da's brows finally stopped furrowing. "In this way, as long as Zilu can gain a foothold on Leishi Mountain, Jin Xin will not be able to sit in Baocheng Pass. And when the time comes, the Shu army will definitely attack this camp. Without further delay, Zilu, you set off immediately , we must seize the base stone mountain before the Shu army knows our intentions."

When Zheng Da said this, he hesitated a little, and then repaired: "Disheng, you also lead a group of soldiers and horses to go with Zilu to capture Jirong Mountain. If the two mountains are captured, they can form an horn and be able to contain them." The Shu army has a large number of troops. When General Huan Biao comes out from Que Valley, it will be smoother. Jin Xin's Heigui army and Yang Ping's Changce army are not under each other. We will use this opportunity to insert a sharp knife into the Shu army Hinterland.”

"The last will obey!"

Seeing Di Sheng and Huan Zilu leave, Zheng Da took a slight breath.He understood that opening up the situation was only the first step, and in Zhounan County, there was still that old monster Yang Chun to face.

That is the real enemy!

Nanzhong.

Across the water, Yang Ping was patrolling on horseback, followed by more than ten soldiers.

Tan Ma came to report that Liang General Huan Biao led an army of [-] from Haojing and arrived at the north entrance of Que Valley.In recent days, Liang Jun's visit to the school has been very active at the Quegu crossing.

Yang Ping concentrated his troops and wanted to fight Huan Biao.Therefore, he must look for favorable terrain.

A horse was riding in the distance, coming quickly.

"General Yang Ping, there is an urgent report from the front. Ten thousand Liang troops have bypassed Baocheng Pass and want to enter the Bastion Stone and Jirong Mountains. General Jin Xin discovered it too late and ordered five thousand black troops to occupy it. Jirong Mountain is opposite Liang Jun."

"what!"

Yang Ping was shocked. He knew very well the importance of these two mountains.If Liang Jun occupied those two mountains, they would be extremely passive.

Fortunately, Liang Jun only occupied one at this time.

"What did General Jin Xin say?"

"General Jin Xin wanted to cut off Liang Jun's food route, but he didn't have enough troops. General Jin Xin sent an urgent message and asked the general to send troops to rush for reinforcements."

Yang Ping's complexion became very bad. Although Jin Xin rescued him in time, Liang's army was strong and would definitely contain a large number of troops.

Despite this, Yang Ping had to save him.

Just when he was about to give the order to send troops, an eagle's cry echoed in the sky.

"That's my lord's trust eagle!"

Yang Ping took the bamboo tube tied to the letter eagle and unfolded it. His gloomy expression relaxed.

"General, what did the lord say?"

"My lord said that he will deal with the stone mountain. Let me concentrate on this place and deal with Huan Biao's army."

The soldiers were a little surprised, they didn't know where Yang Xian was at this time.But they also knew that this information was sent from Jin Xin's camp.And Yang Xian, unexpectedly knew about it faster than them, and even made corresponding arrangements.

Could it be that he is also in Lishi Mountain at this time?
