It took Liangzhou generals and advisors nearly half a month to use artifacts such as communication pigeons and reconnaissance pigeons to send back the topographic map of Yizhou from Zhang Song.

When Jia Xu got the topographic map of Yizhou, he just glanced at it from the corner of his eye and said to Fazheng:"If we capture Hanzhong of Yizhou, Zhang Song should be credited with the first credit! You also deserve a lot of credit!""

"I would like to thank the military advisor for Zhang Song! Fa

Zheng was overjoyed, held up his hands to thank him, and then said humbly:"My subordinates are only doing their best, and it's not worth mentioning, so the military advisor doesn't need to care about it!""

Fazheng's modesty made Jia Xu very satisfied!

Zhang Xiu, Hua Xiong, Xu Rong, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Ma Chao, Pang De and other generals gathered around and looked at the topographic map of Yizhou.

They were still a little unconvinced at first. But after seeing the topographic map of Yizhou, they were convinced.

Compared with their current topographic map, the topographic map recently drawn by Zhang Song Kanyu was very clear.

They did not attach great importance to Liu Zhang's troop deployment in Yizhou because This will change over time.

However, Yizhou's terrain, important terrain such as mountains and rivers, will not undergo earth-shaking changes without the passage of hundreds of thousands of years or the rolling of earth dragons! In other words, they can use this A topographic map, crossing the natural dangers of the Shu Road, and attacking Hanzhong, Yizhou.

King Changshan once wrote in a poem that the Shu Road is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Because the mountains of Shu Road are high and the valleys are deep, the roads are rugged and difficult to pass, and many plank roads are built on On top of the cliffs.

For ordinary people, let alone walking on the plank road, just walking on the plank road will make people feel scared. You can imagine the horror of the Shu Road.

This topographic map of Zhang Song undoubtedly made their attack path more difficult. Smoother.

If they want to enter Yizhou Hanzhong from Liangzhou and Sili, they have only four roads to go.

Yes!

There are only four roads to go!

Ziwu Road, Tangluo Road, Baoxie Road, Chencang Road!

Zhang Song This topographic map marks the various landing points, passes, danger points and other important landmarks of these four roads.

"Meridian Road is eliminated first!"

Jia Xu said decisively:"This road seems to be the closest to Hanzhong, but it is more than a thousand miles long. The road is rugged and dangerous. If there is any accident, the entire army may be wiped out."

The generals nodded.

Fazheng also nodded secretly, agreeing with Jia Xu's view!

Maybe the heroes have the same view! In the original history, Zhuge Liang never walked through the Ziwu Road during the Northern Expedition.

Even Wei Yan's Ziwu Valley conspiracy-led a group of Thousands of elite soldiers attacked Chang'an from the Ziwu Road in Hanzhong, and asked Zhuge Liang to attack Chang'an from the Baoxie Road, and then encircled the two armies. This strategy was rejected by Zhuge Liang because the Ziwu Road was too dangerous.

At the beginning, Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, had elite soldiers The strong general's plan to build a plank road to cross Chencang secretly is actually to use Ziwu Road as a cover and then attack from Chencang Road.

All signs are enough to show that the prerequisite for the dangerous march of the army is to ensure the safety of the march. Ziwu Road does not have Such factors.

In order to ensure the safety of all the soldiers, whether it was Zhuge Liang in the original history or the current advisers such as Jia Xu and Fazheng, they all gave up for the sake of caution!

If Liu Chen were here, he would also agree with their choice and decision, and even happy for their wisdom!

Because there are many cases in later history, which are enough to illustrate the dangerous degree of Ziwu Road.

For example, in 230 AD, Cao Zhen, the great Sima of Wei, led his army and tried to pass through Ziwu Road. The final result of the sudden attack on the Shu Han was - heavy rain encountered midway through the march, and the plank road was cut off. After more than a month of walking, the army only walked one-third of the way to Ziwu Road, and many soldiers were killed here. Cao Zhen had no choice but to Withdrawing troops and returning!

After giving up Ziwu Road, Jia Xu turned to the other three roads

"The Tangluo Road is winding and extremely long, which is not conducive to marching."

"Baoxie Road can start from Mei County, Fufeng County, and is the shortest distance to Hanzhong. Chencang Road can start from Chencang, which is relatively safe."

"But we can think of these two points, and the enemy can obviously do the same. These two roads must be heavily defended, and Cao Cao will definitely send generals to defend them!"

After Jia Xu pondered, he looked at the generals below and asked:"The plan this time is to attack Hanzhong at the same time, disperse the enemy's forces, and then encircle Hanzhong."

"You can choose your own attack route!"

The generals in Liangzhou started talking in an instant. This time it was a discussion among many generals, and the results soon appeared.

"Shoucheng (Ma Teng) and I jointly attacked from Baoxie Road!"Han Sui said calmly.

Ma Teng nodded.

The generals such as Ma Chao and Pang De behind him were all excited and eager to try!

Baoxie Road is the closest to Hanzhong and also has the strongest defensive power. But they like to meet this kind of challenge!

Today's Ma Chao, after his strength is enhanced by abilities, ranks among the peerless military generals. He is extremely powerful!

Even among the generals of the regular army, Ma Chao is enough to rank in the top five. However.

In terms of military achievements and military positions, Ma Chao's position , is definitely a peerless general, the lowest one!

Captain of Wudu County!

Zhao Yun is now promoted to general, and Huang Zhong is even Zhengzi general. If the battle across the river goes well, Huang Zhong will definitely be promoted as well.

Ma Chao He already feels a little ashamed of Changshan Army. If there is another military parade, Ma Chao no longer dares to go to Jizhou!

He has no face to face the generals of Changshan Army in Jizhou!

This is undoubtedly a huge blow to the proud Ma Chao. Therefore In this attack on Yizhou, he must achieve great military exploits.

At least he must upgrade his official position to that of a Zhengzi-level general!

"Generals Ma Teng and Han Sui joined forces to attack Baoxie Road, and we set off from Chencang Road!"

Zhang Xiu, Hua Xiong, Xu Rong and other Liangzhou regiments also made the same decision.

Jia Xu nodded:"Other generals will be stationed in various places in Liangzhou to prevent the Qiang and Di foreigners and the Western Regions from taking the opportunity to attack!

I will inform His Highness and Military Advisor Xun of the troop dispatch plan. In addition to Liangzhou, Sili's support is also needed for logistical support such as food, grass and baggage!

You go down and prepare, we will set off in a month at the latest! You can make a copy of Zhang Song’s topographic map, just in case!"

Jia Xu is the general staff officer of Liangzhou, and his position is higher than others. This makes them salute and shout:"General/subordinates, I obey your orders!"

Jia Xu quickly informed Liu Chen of all the military plans and arrangements.

Although Liu Chen asked him to make his own decisions, Jia Xu still understood that he should not make arbitrary decisions in everything. This is definitely a taboo in the way of a minister.!

What’s more, since they are leading troops outside, they naturally need to report to their lord at all times to avoid arousing suspicion. Jia Xu is still very cautious about this.

But this time, Jia Xu is glad that he informed Liu Chen of the strategic arrangement.

Because in Liu Chen’s reply , actually marked a road that Zhang Song had not recorded - the Qishan Road!

This was also the road that Zhuge Liang took the most in the Northern Expedition in the original history.

Jia Xu once again gathered the generals to discuss.

Compared with the other four roads, the Qishan Road is more Much longer!

However, the Qishan Road is flat and convenient for the transportation of grain and grass. It is not as steep as the other four roads that run through the Qinling Mountains.

The most important thing is that if they send troops from the Qishan Road, they can start from the Hexi Corridor, which is their base camp nearby. Ah!

It can continuously transport supplies and troops for support.

Finally, the generals discussed and let Xu Rong lead the troops from Qishan Road. The troops were divided into three groups and finally gathered in Hanzhong!

It’s not that they didn’t want to go further and go straight to Chengdu. It was because they started from Hanzhong There are only three roads into the interior of Yizhou!

Jinniu Road, Micang Road, and Yangba Road are also the future Lychee Road!

Hanzhong can be said to be the throat of Yizhou. They must reach the throat before they can enter the internal organs. , it is impossible to reach the heart directly!

Of course, there is an exception.

Later Deng Ai made a surprise victory and sent troops from Yinping Road.

The original situation was that

Cao Wei's army could not attack the Shu army head-on. Cao Wei's general Deng Ai took the risk and led 30,000 troops to cross They traveled nearly a thousand miles on a rugged and uninhabited road.

Yes!

It was a dead end!

Then they dug mountains to clear roads and built bridges and pavilions. The food was almost exhausted and more than half of the soldiers were lost. In this kind of dangerous situation, where there was almost a near-death experience, from the traces of human beings The rare Yinping Road passed through by luck.

Then it entered directly into the belly of Yizhou, bypassed Jiang Wei who was stationed at Jiange, entered Chengdu, and directly forced Liu Chan and Liu Adou to surrender!

Liu Chen now has many soldiers and generals, and he is sure of victory, even if he knows Yin Pingdao will not bring it up to prevent the soldiers from being eager to make meritorious deeds and running to try (seeking death)!

Since they have a chance to win, they can naturally plan for it slowly and attack Yizhou Hanzhong in advance to protect the safety of the soldiers!

Even if the Liangzhou Army He wouldn't care if he failed in this battle and failed to successfully attack Yizhou!

Because as long as Liu Chen frees up his hands on the east side of the Yangtze River, he can immediately march from the direction of Xiangyang in Jingzhou and lead his army into Hanzhong in Yizhou!

In Hanzhong and Cao Cao's army started a battle!

The generals in Liangzhou such as Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu, Xu Rong, etc. naturally knew this - their actual main task was to delay Cao Cao's annexation of Yizhou and prevent Cao Cao from getting bigger and raising tigers!

But.

Liu Chen doesn't care, they do!

They must pass this battle and gain enough military merit to advance.

Among the many generals of the Changshan Army, their Liangzhou Army has fallen far behind!

Even Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other Bingzhou legions all followed King Changshan on the expedition outside the Great Wall after the war against Dong.

Their Liangzhou legion only had the merit of garrisoning and governing Liangzhou!

Now Liu Chen is in charge of the nine states of the Han Dynasty, leaving only Yizhou, Jingzhou and Jiangdong did not win.

If they don't take advantage of this opportunity to achieve great military exploits, when Liu Chen ascends the throne as emperor in the future, how can they have enough capital to be named a general as a meritorious official!

Only when there is comparison and competition can we have the motivation to move forward!

Today, the generals and advisors of the Liangzhou Army are all pumped up, and they are already gearing up to attack Yizhou!

0....0

Time passed while waiting like this. Jia Xu asked them to recharge their batteries and prepare logistical support for a month. They had a very difficult time, and their days were like a year! finally.

A month later, the generals of the Liangzhou Army were finally ready, and then they directly divided their troops into three groups to attack!

Just like a sharp blade coming out of its sheath, it went straight through the mountains and ridges, heading towards Hanzhong, the choke point of Yizhou, to encircle and suppress them!

Baoxie Road is the closest to Hanzhong.

They only needed to pass: Mei County, Liuba, Baocheng, and Hanzhong. This also allowed them to be the first to encounter the soldiers of Cao's army stationed there!

Bao Xiedao was jointly sent by Ma Teng and Han Sui, but they did not take all their troops.

After all, they still need to be stationed in Fufeng County, Tianshui County and other places to guard Xiaoxiao and guard against foreign raids. But even so, there are still 100,000 troops behind them.

There are also Ma Chao, a peerless warrior, Pang De, a superb warrior, and Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, Ma Dai and other Ma Jiajun soldiers, who are even more brave generals!

They took the lead, even if they were facing a dangerous pass like the Shu Road, they still attacked with force!

Liuba City behind Mei County was garrisoned by tens of thousands of Cao's soldiers, and was defended by the Qinling Mountains, Daba Mountains and other natural and dangerous mountains. However, they were still defeated and retreated directly!

However, just when the Ma Teng and Han Sui coalition forces were advancing bravely, they finally encountered a strong blockage from Cao's army in Baocheng!

Because the defender of Baocheng is Cao Jun’s most powerful general—Tiger Marquis Xu Chu! Xiahou Dun! Xia Houyuan! Join forces to defend!

Cao Cao also knew that Baoxie Road was the closest to Hanzhong and was the most dangerous to his safety. Therefore, he did not hesitate to send his three generals to garrison!

Xu Chu's military strength is strong, but his commanding ability is mediocre.

However, Xia Houyuan and Xiahou Dun both have top-notch martial arts, and their commanding abilities are also at the top level!

With the three of them garrisoning together, and the natural dangers of the Shu Road, it is naturally impregnable and can be called an iron wall!

Ma Teng and Han Sui's coalition forces finally slowed down their aggressive attack!

No matter how Ma Chao, Pang De and other generals called for formation, the three generals Xu Chu, Xia Houyuan and Xiahou Dun just stayed in the city and refused to come out!

This is like a shrinking tortoise's performance. Even if the Ma Teng and Han Sui coalition forces are overwhelming, there is nothing they can do!

Han Sui had no choice but to look at the military advisors accompanying the army, Fazheng and Cheng Gongying.

Along the way, these two counselors made many suggestions, which made their combined forces even more powerful, so that they could attack with overwhelming force.

Ma Teng was also very envious. He had no shortage of powerful generals, but he lacked such shrewd and capable counselors.

Fortunately, they are now an alliance, and they are colleagues working together under Changshan King Liu Chen. Unlike the original history, where they fought in the end and had deep hatred.
