    ¡°If the army wants to enter Hanzhong from Guanzhong, there are three ways to go from east to west:

    The first Baoxie Ancient Road starts from the mouth of Baogu in the south and ends at the mouth of Xiegu in the north. It runs along the Bao and Xie rivers and runs through the entire Qinling Mountains. It is about 400 miles long and avoids many dangerous peaks. It is considered a road.  The easier river valley road!

    In the past, when King Wen of Zhou Dynasty visited Bashu, he went south along the Baoxie Ancient Road. During the Warring States Period and King Zhaoxiang of Qin, he used a lot of manpower and material resources to pave the valley road into holes and beams on the cliffs he passed.  The plank road is known as "the plank road is thousands of miles long and can lead to everything", and it firmly controls the Bashu region!

    The second ancient road, also known as the "Chencang Road", runs from Guanzhong to Chencang to the southwest out of Dashanguan, along the upper reaches of the Jialing River, then turns southeast and enters the Bao Valley, exiting the valley entrance to the hinterland of Hanzhong.

    In the past, Liu Bang was named the King of Han. He was unwilling to live in Bashu, so he worshiped Han Xin as his general. He built plank roads openly and secretly visited Chencang. It was through this road that the army entered Guanzhong, annihilated the "Three Qin Kings" in one fell swoop, and went east to compete with Xiang Yu for the world!

    ??The third road, the army goes all the way west from Chang'an, enters Jieting and Tianshui County in Xiliang area, goes south over the towering Qishan Mountains, then goes east through Jianwei, Hechi, Baima garrison and finally enters the hinterland of Hanzhong!

    This road is the most remote, requiring a detour of thousands of miles, but the road is relatively easy to walk. Along the way, there is sweet water, thick soil, and a large population. The army can collect grain and grass along the way, reducing the pressure on logistical supplies!

    "Everyone, please take a look. There are many mountain roads and canyons in Hanzhong, and they all rely on plank roads to communicate in all directions. This is the model of plank roads"

    Ma Liu has a unique talent. Not only is he responsible for the success of Guanzhong's business, he also has a thorough study of the mountains, rivers, terrain, customs and customs of the western region, and he speaks clearly and logically.

    And they were extremely well prepared, and they even had someone bring up a model of the plank road, explaining in detail its design, construction, useas well as its various advantages and disadvantages!

    The Hanzhong area has steep mountains and river valleys, and there is no Yangguan Road to walk on. We had to spend countless manpower to build a plank road on the cliffs using the method of "burning with fire and stimulating with water"!

    The method is: when encountering big rocks blocking the road, first burn them with fire, then pour cold water on them. After the rocks are soft and soft, use a giant hammer to break them

    When encountering cliffs, holes are drilled on the cliffs, crossbars are set up, planks are laid, and they are connected together with pliers. When encountering narrow paths, piles are erected and fences are built beside the road, and stone railings are built to protect safety

    Every twenty or thirty miles, a plank pavilion will be built in an open area with water, and a large number of houses and warehouses will be built for pedestrians to rest, stay, and avoid bad weather!

    With such wisdom, the ancients opened roads in the mountains and connected Guanzhong, Hanzhong, and Bashu into a whole. However, although the plank roads are exquisite, they have several major shortcomings:

    First of all, the plank road is built along the cliffs, hanging high in the air. Below is either an abyss or a rushing river. It is frightening to take a look at it. Your whole body will tremble when you walk. If you fall, you will definitely die!

    Secondly, most of the plank roads are wooden structures, so the load-bearing capacity is limited. Only infantry, horses, and carts can be used and the team must be lengthened to reduce the pressure on the feet. Four horses, heavy chariots, and heavy siege equipment cannot pass.  of!

    Finally, there is a lot of rain in the Yizhou area, the wood is easy to rot, and there are often falling rocks in the mountains. Therefore, the plank road is easily damaged. It is often repaired while walking, and I don¡¯t know how many lives have been lost!

    Therefore, people all over the world say: "Walking on the middle road of Shu is like approaching the gate of hell. Ten people go out, and nine do not return home. Bones hang in the mountain streams, and ghosts cry in the abyss. If you want to survive, retreat and walk far away!"  ¡¯

    "The general has been fighting for more than twenty years and has traveled seven or eight points in the world. I have never seen such a dangerous place. Let alone attacking cities and plundering territory, I am afraid it will be difficult to walk across it!"

    "With steep cliffs and treacherous mountains and rivers, this is a perfect place for military strategists. Who would go to such a place unless absolutely necessary?"

    "If the enemy forces ambushes a detachment of troops in a dangerous place, condescendingly and outflanking us, we may never return!"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "Most of the people attending the meeting today are warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles. They are thirsty for blood from their swords, lying in the saddle, crawling and rolling among the dead, and they have made no progress in the war!"

    "But after seeing the terrain of Hanzhong and the three roads, we all lost our energy. It was difficult to walk in such a ghost place, so how could we arrange troops, attack, kill and defend?"

    Not to mention the generals sitting there, even Xiao Yi had a strong impulse after seeing the terrain. Instead of rushing to fight to the death with the enemy, he wanted to stop fighting, return to the court, and live a small life with his wife in his arms Why suffer?  What about this sin?Xiao Yi calculated in his mind that as long as the Hanzhong garrison was not a fool, a fool, or the product of incest marriage, no matter which path he took, the chance of winning would not be more than 30%, and the consequences of failure would be - no way out, all the consequences.  The army is destroyed!

    No wonder it turns out that in history, when Cao Cao attacked Hanzhong, he sighed and said to his subordinates: "Hundreds of miles of dead mountains and valleys, this is no place for military force. If I had known about such terrain, I would never have led troops here!"  ¡¯

    No wonder that in history, with Zhuge Kongming¡¯s extraordinary talent and strategy, he returned from Qishan six times without success, and was blocked by Sima Xiaoer, not because of lack of ability, but because he was trapped by the terrain!

    The mountains in the Qinling Mountains are steep and the plank roads are rugged and difficult to navigate. More importantly, during the march, the army had to resist enemy ambush and attack the city. The difficulty increased several times!

    The three generations of Zhang Ling, Zhang Heng, and Zhang Lu have been entrenched in the Hanzhong area for decades, spreading doctrines, recruiting believers, and establishing a powerful local government, which is quite popular!

    Especially since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the people in Guanzhong have suffered greatly. They have moved their families southward and settled in the relatively stable Bashu and Hanzhong. Today, the total population of Hanzhong County exceeds 500,000, which is comparable to that of a state in the Central Plains.  It's over!

    Therefore, although Zhang Lu's territory is small, it is small but powerful. It has abundant weapons, money and food, and has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, all of whom are believers of the Five Dou Rice Sect. Under the influence of its teachings, they are loyal to their enemies and fight in wars.  Being brave and not afraid of death is a tough nut to crack!

    ¡°Then again, what is a hero? He can do what others cannot, dare what others dare not, know clearly that there are tigers in the mountains, and prefer to travel to the tiger mountains

    "There is no turning back when the bow is fired. More than 200,000 people gathered in the pass, and countless money, food and grass were spent. How can we return without success? Even if Hanzhong is made of copper and iron, I still have to break a hole!"

    During the Warring States Period, Qin General Sima Cuo sent his troops south and took the Hanzhong Plank Road to attack Bashu and turned it into the backyard of the Qin State, which shows that force can be used from north to south!

    During the Chu and Han Dynasties, Han Xin built plank roads openly and secretly visited Chencang, and captured the land in Guanzhong in one fell swoop, laying the foundation of the Han Empire and showing that troops could be used from south to north!

    "What the ancients could do, we can also do, and we must do better. Conquer Hanzhong, conquer Bashu, and include Southwest in the territory. You and I can both be famous in history!"  "

    When the army goes to war, morale comes first. Xiao Yi slaps his handsome case, like a storyteller, and talks about classic battle cases from ancient times, not only to encourage his subordinates, but also to cheer himself up!

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: There are countless heroes and famous generals in China. There are two people Xiao Yi admires the most: one is the killing god Bai Qi, and the other is the military immortal Han Xin!

    "It's a pity that I traveled at the wrong time, so I couldn't compete with these two on the battlefield. It's really a great regret in life. However, there is a remedy, which is to win more classic battles and create more powerful military exploits!"

    The battle of the Han army leaving Hanzhong from the north was the first battle after Han Xin came to the stage to pay homage to the general. It was also the battle that made him famous. He built plank roads openly and secretly invaded Chencang. He pacified the Three Qin Dynasty in one fell swoop and forced King Yong and Zhang Han to commit suicide. King Sai  - Sima Xin, King Zhai - Dong Yi surrendered, then marched eastward, defeated Zhao, destroyed Wei, defeated Qi, subdued Yan and made ten great contributions!

    "If I fight a beautiful battle in Hanzhong, wouldn't I prove to the world that my abilities are not inferior to Han Xin's, or even better?"

    Thinking of this, Xiao Yi suddenly became energetic, as if he had become several years younger. If he could defeat the Soldier Immortal, he would be the new Soldier Immortal!

    "It is a great blessing in life for a man, a true man, to be able to die in battle and be shrouded in horse leather. What should we fear?"

    "There are only generals who die in battle, and no cowards who retreat. The last general is willing to die for Da Sima!"

    "At the end of the day, I would like to be a pioneer officer and be the first to enter Hanzhong!"

    Inspired by Xiao Yi, the generals also gained morale and wanted to serve as vanguard officers. They were the first to enter Hanzhong, enter Nanzheng City, and capture Zhang Lu alive!

    It¡¯s good to have high morale, but it¡¯s not okay to send troops recklessly. Xiao Yi waved his hand gently, telling everyone to calm down and continue to discuss the attack on Hanzhong. The Qinling Mountains stretch for thousands of miles from east to west. Are there only those three roads?

    "Ma Liu, the army is attacking Hanzhong County. Is there any other way?"

    "Yes, you can also say no, that is a dead end!"

    ¡°It¡¯s a dead end, make it clear!¡±

    "Ziwu Valley!"
