Liu Cong, Liu Hu, Deng Ai, Wang Ping, Liao Hua and others led five thousand soldiers and marched hard in the vast mountains. It took ten days for them to enter Guanghan County.
According to the news sent by the scouts and Skynet, in the entire Guanghan County, only Zitong, Mianzhu and Luo counties have troops stationed in them, while the other counties are basically empty cities.
From here to Chengdu, you can bypass Zitong, but you must pass through Mianzhu and Luoxian.
"My lord, the guard general of Mianzhu is called Zhang Yi. There are three thousand county soldiers stationed there. There is no problem for us to break the city. But from now on, I'm afraid we won't be able to march secretly. Luoxian County will be very difficult to attack, and Chengdu Liu Zhang will also be prepared. !" Deng Ai said.
"How far is it from here to Mianzhu?" Liu Cong asked.
"About a hundred miles!"
"Are there any small towns around Mianzhu?" Liu Cong thought for a while and asked.
"There is a small town called Fangtang, next to Mianzhu."
"Okay, Shizai, you immediately send someone to inquire about the situation in Mianzhu and Fangtang. The main thing is to see if there are soldiers and horses stationed in Fangtang!"
"No!"
When it was getting dark, most of the scouts sent out came back. Liu Cong and Deng Ai compiled all kinds of intelligence and learned that although Mianzhu did not have many soldiers, Zhang Yi was cautious and well-defended. Fangtang is about ten miles away from Mianzhu, and there are no troops stationed there. However, the city is too small. If five thousand were stationed, they might not be able to hide, and Zhang Yi of Mianzhu would know about it. Outside Fangtang City, there is a river valley area, which is relatively hidden and flat, and can station five thousand troops.
"Okay, Shizai, order the whole army to be ready and set off at the first watch. The army will rush outside Fangtang City before dawn and station in the valley area, and then look for opportunities to capture Mianzhu!"
"No!"
Deng Ai immediately issued the order, and Wang Ping and Liao Hua immediately went down to prepare.
Just after the first watch, the five thousand army set off towards Fangtang.
The road now is much better than what they walked a few days ago. Although it is still a mountain trail, there are absolutely no cliffs and no need to climb with a rope.
Before dawn, they arrived at the river valley outside Fangtang City.
There has been little rain this year and the river has dried up, but the grass on both sides is very lush. The river is close to the mountains and forests, and it is indeed a very secluded place.
From the mountain next to the river, you can clearly see Mianzhu City.
After Liu Cong¡¯s army was stationed here, he sent people to inquire about the situation in Mianzhu every day. However, Zhang Yi was very cautious and strictly checked people entering and leaving the city. If they were to attack by force, they didn't have many siege equipment. It would take three to five days at the earliest to garrison a small town with three thousand county soldiers. This was obviously not the result they wanted.
Three days passed in a row, Liu Cong was a little anxious, and at the same time he felt uneasy.
Although it is very hidden here, as time goes by, the news will inevitably leak out and be noticed by the Shu army's scouts.
"My Lord, I think we should attack Mianzhu!" Deng Ai was at his wits' end.
"How confident are you in a strong attack?"
"Wang Ping and I investigated today. There are four gates in Mianzhu City. The west gate is guarded by 1,500 soldiers, and the other gates are guarded by 500 soldiers each. However, it will take at least a day to get around. So we divided our troops into two groups. , three thousand soldiers attacked the west gate all the way, and went over the mountain to the south gate the other way. Zhang Ni¡¯s attention was all on the west gate, so it was not easy to find us. Even if Zhang Ni had not deployed the south gate garrison and five hundred county soldiers to defend the city, we It can be broken in half a day!" Deng Ai has obviously been thinking about it for a long time.
"Half a day" Liu Cong thought for a while, "If soldiers from the other two places come to reinforce the south gate, we may be passive."
"But lord, we have no other choice. If we stay here, we will be discovered by Shu army scouts sooner or later. If they mobilize soldiers and horses from all over to surround the valley, our situation will be even worse!" Deng Ai also knew that His method is unlikely to succeed, but he really can't think of a better strategy.
"Wait a little longer!" Liu Cong still disagreed. "If there is a change in Hanzhong, Ma Chao and Guan Yu will take action. At that time, Liu Zhang will have no troops available, and Zhang Yi may be transferred."
Deng Ai nodded, there is really no good way now.
"Reporting to the prince, a man came from outside the camp and asked to see the prince!" At this moment, a soldier rushed in to report.
"What, a person came from outside the camp?" Deng Ai was shocked. They were very careful when stationed here. There were soldiers patrolling secretly for miles outside the camp. How could someone arrive at the camp gate and not be discovered?
"Yes, General, General Wang Ping has already controlled him and sent the young man to report whether he should be allowed to see the prince!"the soldier replied.
"What's this person's name?" Liu Cong asked, "How old is he?"
"He said he would only tell the story after meeting the lord, who is about forty years old."
Liu Cong thought for a while, if this person is really hostile and discovers where their army is stationed, he only needs to report it to the Shu army. There is no need to come to see him. It seems that he is not an enemy.
"Bring him in!"
"No!"
After a while, Wang Ping led two soldiers and escorted one person to the commander's tent.
Liu Cong observed carefully and saw that he was eight feet tall, with a majestic appearance, short hair hanging around his neck, and disheveled clothes. He seemed to be a down-and-out scholar. But the two eyes are particularly sharp, as if they can see everything.
Liu Cong waved his hand, signaling Wang Ping and the two soldiers to retreat.
"Who are you, sir? Why do you want to see me? How do you know that I am here?" This person wanted to see him. Liu Cong naturally understood that he already knew his identity, so he did not hide it.
"Peng Yi, a man from the mountains, has taken the liberty to come to see the King of Han and ask for his forgiveness." The visitor bowed to Liu Cong, "I watched the sky last night and saw the Emperor Ziwei star shining in the west. I counted with my fingers and knew that the prince was here. Place!"
"Peng Yi?" Liu Cong racked his brains and thought for a while. This man's name was somewhat familiar, but he was not clear about his abilities. However, those who can leave their names in history are by no means just ordinary people. Moreover, he would have never believed what he said about observing the sky at night in his previous life, but now, he had to believe it.
"Your Majesty, don't be confused by my short hair. He bluntly said that he offended the King of Shu and was made a disciple by the King of Shu. That's why I have short hair." Peng Yi bowed his hand to Liu Cong again, "I'm here today. To save thousands of your lives.¡±
"Save the lives of thousands of people like me?" Liu Cong was shocked after hearing this. He looked at Deng Ai, who was also full of doubts, "I hope you can speak clearly!"
Peng Yi said: "As a general, how can one not know geography? If we camp in a river valley, if a sudden flood comes, and we block it with soldiers at the mouth of the valley, none of these thousands of soldiers will be able to escape!"
"This" Liu Cong had not thought about the dangers of camping in the river valley, but this was a dry river valley with not much water.
"My lord, it is true that the river valley is dry, but there will be heavy rains in the near future, and this valley can be connected to the tributaries of the Fujiang River. If the river bursts and rainwater comes, the entire valley can be flooded." Peng Yi seemed to understand Liu Cong's thoughts.
"This" This time, not only Liu Cong was surprised, but even Deng Ai was dumbfounded. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
