"Da da da!"
"Bah!¡ª¡ªBah! Bah!"
¡¡¡¡
In the summer of the 15th year of Jian'an, a team left the Yiwu camp late at night on June 20th. There was no grand expedition ceremony, no loud sound of drums and trumpets, and not even a big banner. There were just soldiers. Heavy footsteps, interspersed with the neighing of war horses
There were not many troops on the expedition, with 10,000 Danyang soldiers at the vanguard, 5,000 evil ghosts at the rear, and Xiao Yi's 3,000 soldiers in the middle. A total of 18,000 soldiers, including Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, Huang Xu, Deng Ai, and Sun Shao, and other members of the Xiao family accompanied the army in the battle.
The main army divided into three groups to attack Hanzhong, and some were left to garrison the base camp. There were not many soldiers and horses that could be mobilized. Even though Xiwu was far away from the battlefield and had Chang'an City to rely on each other, Xiao Yi was still a little worried. !
There are many daring people in the world. What if you go to Ziwu Valley and attack Nanzheng with a surprise attack, but the other side does the opposite and also sends troops to attack Xiwu? There are countless ordnance, food and grass, supplying hundreds of thousands of troops. consumption.
Therefore, 40,000 armored troops were left behind to guard the Xiwu camp. There were also tens of thousands of troops stationed in Chang'an City. They could coordinate with each other to ensure that nothing went wrong. The confidant generals Xiao Bin and Cao Xing also stayed behind to manage the affairs of Xiwu, both to guard against foreign enemies. , and also guard against internal thieves!
Although Xia Houyuan was deceived and left, he may come back at any time. After Cao Cao knows the situation, he may also send a new supervisory army. Do we have to guard against these things?
??Besides, the Ziwu Valley plank road is narrow and difficult to navigate. Not to mention the large number of people and horses, it is difficult to move away, and the logistics supply is also a big problem. It is better to lead only a small number of elite troops, quickly pass through, and kill the enemy by surprise!
The north entrance of Ziwu Valley is sixty miles away from Chang'an and more than three hundred miles away from Xiwu. If the cavalry is marching, it can be reached in one day and night. However, Xiao Yi led this infantry team, but it took seven days to arrive, and they could not advance every day. Forty or fifty miles, in order to preserve the physical strength of the soldiers.
After the troops arrived, they were not in a hurry to enter the Ziwu Valley. Instead, they spent two days in situ repairing and making final preparations before the expedition. Xiao Yi led a group of generals to climb a nearby hillside to view the topography of the Qinling Mountains
"The peaks and mountains are like clusters, and the waves are like angry waves. People say that the Qinling Mountains are the dragon veins of Guanzhong. It is true at all, but it has the momentum of a dragon and a giant earth!"
"A dragon vein corresponds to a dynasty. The Qinling Mountains are like huge waves and mountains, which are like dragons leaping across the sea. Therefore, the Qin Dynasty annexed the six countries and unified the nine states of China. Unfortunately, those who are too powerful often have insufficient stamina. The Second Emperor of Great Qin died!"
"The dragon veins of the Zhou Dynasty are in Qishan, the dragon veins of the Qin Dynasty are in the Qinling Mountains, and the dragon veins of the Han Dynasty are in Mangdang Mountain. I don't know where the next giant dragon will soar, and how long it will last for the country There is something on the mountain wall over there. Handwriting?¡±
After a group of people climbed up the hillside, they were immediately shocked by the landscape in front of them. They saw clusters of peaks and mountains, endless emerald green at a glance, and bursts of white mist rising. It really seemed like a dream world!
Ziwu Valley is located in the mountains. It is winding and rugged like a snake path. There are white clouds and flocks of birds above. The river is turbulent and rushing below. The roar of tigers and apes can be heard, causing echoes in the empty valley
No one has walked on the plank road for hundreds of years, and it has long since rotted into disgrace. Only a few stone pillars, stone piles, and stone holes are left, densely distributed on the cliff. Let alone walking on such a road, one will be stunned just by looking at it.
On the stone wall on the east side, rows of cursive inscriptions are carved, each one six or seven feet in size. Although eroded by wind and rain and covered by moss, everyone can still clearly identify:
"Gaozu was ordered to rise in Hanzhong. The road started from Ziwu and dispersed into the Qin Dynasty. He established the emperor's throne and took the Han family as Yan, and then Ziwu. The road was difficult and difficult. He followed the surrounding valley and restored the light of the hall. All these four roads, The barriers are particularly difficult"
It is the famous "Ode to the Stone Gate", also known as "Ode to Yang Mengwen", which was written by Wang Sheng, the prefect of Hanzhong, and Yang Mengwen, the governor of Sili, in the second year of the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The story of Liu Bang's entry into Hanzhong.
After the Kwantung Allied Forces overthrew the violent Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu enfeoffed eighteen princes and kings in one fell swoop. Because he was afraid that Liu Bang's talents would threaten his rule, he named him King of Han, managing the remote areas of Bashu and Hanzhong, and established his capital in Nanzheng City. !
When the Han army went to Nanzheng, they took the Ziwu Valley Plank Road. As a result, they saw that the mountains were dangerous and the road was difficult to navigate. The soldiers were unwilling to go forward and asked to fight back to Guanzhong. Liu Bang used this strength to The prelude to the unification war began!
The soldiers of the Han army would rather return to Guanzhong and fight to the death with hundreds of thousands of Chu troops than take the Hanzhong plank road. This shows how difficult it is to walk through the Ziwu Valley. It is really more terrifying than the murderous overlord!
? ?Years ago, the Han army was scared out of their wits when they walked on the intact plank road. Now Xiao Yi and his party faced a dilapidated plank road with enemy troops stationed in front. The difficulty increased more than ten times!
"Where is the guide? Please come and reply!"
"No!"
"Little people, please pay your respects to Lord Sima and all the generals!"
"Please get up and give me wine and meat!"
¡¡¡¡
In order to pass through the Ziwu Valley smoothly, Xiao Yi spent a lot of money to hire dozens of guides. They were all hunters, woodcutters, and herb collectors. They traveled in the deep mountains and old forests all year round. They were very familiar with the conditions in the Qinling Mountains and had rich experience in wild survival. .
After these people came over, they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and some were even trembling with fear. The fame of 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang' was well known to women and children all over the world. Xiao Yi comforted them with a pleasant look, and also gave them fine wine and meat. They were shocked!
"The Ziwu Valley runs northeast and southwest, with a total length of 660 miles. Its exit is on the north bank of the Han River. Across the river is Nanzheng City. However, no one has taken this road for more than two hundred years since Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty!"
"A road that no one travels naturally has no one to repair it. It has long been destroyed to a state of disgrace. I have traveled through the Qinling Mountains more than a dozen times and only used the Baoxie Road and Chencang Road. I really don't dare to walk through the Ziwu Valley!"
"I heard from the old people that Ziwu Valley is rugged and difficult to navigate. There are countless venomous snakes, beasts, and miasma. The weather is even more unpredictable. Sometimes there are lightning and thunder, sometimes strong winds, and there are the sounds of ghosts crying and howling. Things often happen. Unspeakable things"
"I have also heard people say that when Zhang Tianshi punished evil and hypocrites, he imprisoned the Six Heavenly Ghost Kings and countless demons in Fengdu City in Beiyin. The entrance to Fengdu City is in the Ziwu Valley. If a living person accidentally enters it, I am afraid there will be death. There¡¯s no going back!¡±
¡¡¡¡
The guides talked about the Ziwu Valley, and after saying that, they were scared to death. They came to guide the army because they were greedy for huge rewards. They thought they were just crossing the Qinling Mountains, and they didn't expect to go to the Ziwu Valley. This is a dead end!
If they had known this, they would not have dared to take this job even if they were given ten times the reward. Gold, silver and jewelry are good, but they are not as important as lives. But since it is coming, there is no reason to quit midway, otherwise they will be killed immediately. !
Therefore, he explained the difficulties and dangers of Ziwu Valley in great detail, hoping that the great Sima would change his mind and not plunge into a dead end, so that they would not have to take risks.
After listening to the guides' narration, everyone present fell silent. They knew that the Ziwu Valley was difficult to reach, so they didn't expect it to be so difficult. In fact, it was inaccessible and the surprise attack on Nanzheng failed. They were cut off from food and grass, faced with a dilemma, and were trapped to death in the Qinling Mountains. There were many examples of this in ancient times!
In the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Huan of Qi led his army to attack Guzhu. Spring turned to winter, and he was confused and almost fell into despair. Fortunately, he followed Guan Zhong's advice and found the way with a few old horses. This was relatively lucky, but There are also unlucky ones!
In the first year of Taichu in the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked General Li Guang of the Second Division to attack Dawan in order to obtain a bloody horse. Because the roads in the Western Region were difficult to travel, there was a lack of food, grass, and drinking water. In addition to the fierce resistance of the Dawan people, the Han army was defeated. A disastrous defeat, with less than one tenth of the survivors!
As a lesson learned from the past, the Ziwu Valley is not as dangerous as the Great Desert of the Western Regions. Can 18,000 soldiers pass through it? Even if they are lucky enough to pass it, they will still have to face Hanzhong soldiers and horses to intercept it. They have enough to eat and drink, and are ready to work. , and there are solid barriers relying on itWill tragic history repeat itself? How many soldiers can survive?
"My husband is a hero of the world. He has been fighting in the world for more than 20 years. He has never been afraid of hardships and dangers. The soldiers have also experienced hundreds of battles. On the battlefield, they have advanced without retreating and won without defeat!"
"But the children are too young, and the Ziwu Valley is so difficult and full of dangers. Can I leave them behind and leave them to my care?"
Zhao Yu and Daoxiang came over and whispered in Xiao Yi's ear. Their words were full of pleading, and their eyes were fixed on several children. The eldest Xiao Xuan was thirteen years old, and the youngest Xiao Feng was only seven years old!
The Ziwu Valley plank road is extremely dangerous, and a sneak attack on Nanzheng is full of dangers. Even for a warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles, it is probably a disaster, let alone four children. Before leaving, Cao Jie had warned him to preserve the Xiao family bloodline no matter what. !
Therefore, the two ladies discussed that they wanted to leave the four children in Guanzhong and be properly taken care of by Daoxiang. Zhao Yu accompanied Xiao Yi to Ziwu Valley. As for discouraging the expedition, they never thought about the character of Xiao Lang with a ghost face. I always know that there are tigers in the mountains, so I prefer to go to the tiger mountains!
¡°My sons, come here, I have something to make a decision for you!¡±
"Father, two mothers!"
A true man also has a heart for his sons. Faced with the two begging wives, Xiao Yi, who has always been decisive and decisive, couldn't help but soften his heart and summoned his sons!
Since leaving Xuchang, Xiao Xuan, Xiao Huang, Xiao Yao, and Xiao Feng have been living in the military camp. They eat the same food as ordinary soldiers, receive the same training, and are exposed to wind, sun, and rain, but they have suffered a lot!
Over the past few months, the four children have lost a lot of weight, but they have also become stronger. They are like a group of little wolf cubs, jumping around every day, and this trip to Ziwu Valley is also a life test for them!
