In order to strengthen the connection between Guanzhong and Hanzhong, the Qin people dug a plank road running northeast and southwest in the eastern Qinling Mountains, with a total length of 660 miles. The north entrance is called Zi, and the south entrance is called Wu, so it is named: Ziwu Valley Plank Road!
Compared with the previous three plank roads, the Ziwu Valley Plank Road is much more convenient because its north entrance is only 60 miles away from Chang'an, while its south entrance leads directly to the heart of Hanzhong. If you start from Chang'an, you can reach Nanzheng City in ten days! (Hanzhong County Government Office)
Logically speaking, such a convenient plank road should be fully utilized and become a major transportation artery. The fact is exactly the opposite. Not long after the Ziwu Valley Plank Road was opened, it was quickly abandoned. There are two reasons:
First, the weather. The environment of Ziwu Valley is complicated, and the climate is also unpredictable. It is often cloudless one moment, and it is stormy the next, making pedestrians very difficult to guard against. Not only that, the plank road is often damaged by thunder and lightning, flash floods, and falling rocks!
The second is weirdness. When walking in the Ziwu Valley, I often encounter weird things, such as the iron tools I carry with me suddenly fly out, and the originally obedient and docile horses will go crazy silently, as if they were frightened
All of the above are so numerous that the mortality rate of people walking in the Ziwu Valley is much higher than that of other plank roads, and their deaths are extremely strange. Therefore, people would rather take a detour than dare to cross the Ziwu Valley easily.
With no one walking on it, there was no one to maintain it. The Ziwu Valley Plank Road quickly declined, with the wood rotting and collapse in many places. In the end, no one dared to walk on it, and it became impassable at all, and it became a valley of death!
"The last general is incompetent, so he is willing to lead a group of troops to go south through the Baoxie Valley, attract the main force of the enemy to resist, and then entangle them to death!
Ask Da Sima to lead the main army to the west via Jieting and Tianshui, and then south via the Qishan Plank Road. With such a two-sided attack, Hanzhong will be captured in one fell swoop and the thief Zhang Lu will be captured alive! "
Ma Liu came up with a plan and was very dedicated. It was easy to entangle the enemy, but it was like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. Once trapped in the valley, there was no chance to escape.
But the terrain in Hanzhong is dangerous. If we don¡¯t use troops like this, there is really no hope of victory. Among the generals sitting here, Ma Liu is the most familiar with the geography of Hanzhong. He will survive nine deaths, while others will die ten times!
In addition, although the previous issue of his subordinates disobeying orders has been resolved, Ma Liu still felt guilty, so he took the initiative to take on dangerous tasks to prove his loyalty!
"It's too risky to use troops like this. Our brothers are never afraid of death, but we can't die in vain. I have a clever plan to attack Hanzhong. I will definitely use the minimum price to obtain the greatest victory!"
Xiao Yi patted Ma Liu on the shoulder. With such a loyal brother, there was no need to worry about failure in his great cause. However, while comforting him, his eyes swept across the sand table - Ziwu Valley several times!
As a time traveler and a pseudo-military fan, Xiao Yi is very aware of the affairs of Ziwu Valley, and even more aware of what later generations have argued about for thousands of years, but no one has given an answer: the Ziwu Valley conspiracy!
There are four roads through the Qinling Mountains, from west to east: Qishan Road, Chencang Road, Baoxie Road, and Ziwu Road. The first three roads also occupy dangerous positions, but they have been successfully broken through many times in wars throughout the ages!
Ziwu Valley is an exception. Although it has been planned to attack and sneak across many times, it has never been successful. This has made countless heroes hate it. Therefore, there is a famous saying in later generations: Among the four roads in the Qinling Mountains, Ziwu is the king!
But, what the time-traveling clan is best at is changing history and then creating history. If you want to prove that you are worthy of the ¡®Soldier Immortal¡¯, this is a great opportunity. However, this strategy is very dangerous, and ordinary people cannot bear the heavy responsibility
"Daniu and Jiang Qi listened to the order and led Mo Dao soldiers and Hebei soldiers to go south along the Baoxie Road to attack the north of Hanzhong County!"
"Gao Shun, Song Xian, and Wei Xu obeyed the order and led the troops trapped in the camp and Xiliang to go to Chencang Road to attack the northwest of Hanzhong County!"
"Ma Liu led the Guanzhong troops, bypassed Jieting, Tianshui line, crossed Qishan Mountain, and attacked the west of Hanzhong County!"
"The Digging Army is divided into three, and they advance with the three groups of people. They open roads across mountains, build bridges when encountering water, and repair damaged plank roads to ensure smooth flow!"
"This Grand Sima will command the rest of the ministries and sit in Chang'an, with support from three directions"
The secret of arranging troops is to use one's own strengths to overcome the enemy's weaknesses. Although Cao's army does not occupy a favorable position, it cannot withstand a large number of people. Since there are three ways to advance troops, use them all!
Anyway, Cao's army had a large number of troops and was still strong when divided into three groups. However, Zhang Lu only had 100,000 troops. He had to stay in Nanzheng City, his home base, but also divided into three groups to fight, so his strength was completely dispersed.
AndThe passage is narrow and difficult for the large army to pass. Dividing the troops into three groups can speed up the march and avoid crowding into a ball, making it easier for people to make dumplings!
"The plank road is difficult to travel, and there are many dangers in the mountains. I have also prepared some things and immediately asked the craftsmen to build them overnight, which can help you turn danger into safety and attack the city!"
"Promise - please sit down in Chang'an, Grand Sima. We will definitely conquer Hanzhong and capture Zhang Lu alive and offer him to our tent!"
Knowing that it would be difficult to attack Hanzhong, Xiao Yi also made a lot of preparations. He took out a roll of blueprints from his arms and distributed them to his generals. The things on them were quite wonderful:
There is a wooden wheelbarrow that can bear a weight of two to three hundred kilograms. It can be pushed on the plank road and can also pass through rugged mountain roads. It is perfect for transporting grain and grass!
There is a special kind of fabric, which is coated with thick tung oil on the inside and outside. It is waterproof, moisture-proof and windproof. It can help soldiers fight against bad weather. It can be used as a raincoat during the day and a bedding at night.
There are also dry food that can be stored for half a month, incense to prevent mosquitoes, realgar powder to drive away poisonous snakes, tiger bone powder to scare wild animals, marching powder to treat acclimatization
Some of these various things were thought up by Xiao Yi, and some were new inventions from Zhengming Academy. Although they are not very eye-catching, they are very practical during the march and can ensure the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and reduce unnecessary casualties!
"Da Sima is really wise. With the help of these things, crossing the Qinling Mountains will be like walking on flat ground!"
"Good things, all good things, our army has a better chance of winning!"
They are all generals who have experienced hundreds of battles, so they naturally understand the value of these things. They are all smiling, and their morale is a little higher. Only Ma Liu and Daniu have doubts on their faces, as if they are hesitant to speak.
They have followed Xiao Yi for more than 20 years, and they know the temper of this boss best. He is resourceful, cruel, and courageous. He must lead the way in battle, and there is nothing he dares not do!
This time to attack Hanzhong County, Xiao Yi divided his troops into three groups and sent generals, but he was stationed in Chang'an. This was really abnormal. There was also one of the elite Danyang soldiers who were best at fighting in the mountains. Why didn't they go out?
Therefore, the two of them secretly guessed that the boss was going to take a different approach and do something shocking. In all likelihood, it was the Ziwu Valley. It was a death canyon. No one had passed through it in the past two hundred years. Entering through it would be tantamount to self-defeating. Seeking death!
The two of them wanted to give some advice, but they knew Xiao Yi's character and his heart was as solid as stone. As long as he decided on something, Nine Cows couldn't pull him back, so they were hesitant!
"Everyone, please prepare well. In two days' time, we will go out to sacrifice the flag, and the three armies will come out to conquer Hanzhong in one fell swoop!"
"No!"
After deliberation, Xiao Yi set the date for the expedition, and looked at Daniu and Ma Liu with a knowing smile. The key to many things in the world is not whether you can, but whether you dare!
Xiang Yu did not dare to sink the cauldron and inspire the courage of the Chu army. How could he defeat hundreds of thousands of Qin troops? Han Xin did not dare to form a formation with his back to the water. How could he defeat 200,000 elite Zhao troops with 10,000 old and weak soldiers?
Similarly, if Xiao Yi didn't take the risk, how could he quickly capture Hanzhong and then march to Chengdu? However, Xiao Yi was somewhat sure if he dared to do this, and he was not going to die because of a hothead!
"Report - General Xiahou has arrived, clamoring to see Da Sima, and making a big fuss outside the camp gate!"
"I can't get rid of the brown sugar, and I'm chasing you here - please come in!"
"No!"
Hearing the report from his own soldiers, Xiao Yi's face suddenly sank, and his palm touched the hilt of his sword. He had been fighting in the north and south for many years, and he had always acted arbitrarily. He had never used any lieutenants, let alone supervisors!
Cao Cao sent Xia Houyuan as his deputy, nominally helping him, but actually monitoring his every move, and even trying to gain military power. But in recent years, his relationship with the clan generals has become tense, and there have been several conflicts!
What¡¯s even more annoying is that before the army went out, Cao Cao named Xia Houyuan the shepherd of Yizhou. Doesn¡¯t it mean that after this battle, all the benefits will go to him, which Xiao Yi will never accept!
Therefore, Xiao Yi secretly left Xuchang without even saying hello and went directly to the Yiwu base camp. He just wanted to get rid of Xia Houyuan so that he could act alone. Unexpectedly, this guy was so shameless that he chased him all the way!
"Brothers, get ready and welcome General Xiahou properly. This is our distinguished guest!"
"No!"
???????????????????????????????????No matter how distinguished your status is, you still belong to the guest, not one of your own!
