May 213 A.D., Chengdu.
Fastest updates More than a dozen horsemen rushed across the Suzaku Bridge like arrows, the horse's hooves stepped on the royal road, several horses galloped towards the palace gate, and the remaining horses turned into the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Just look at their dusty appearance, and you can see that they have come back from the east, and they have changed horses many times along the way.
The guards guarding the guards, knowing that there is a big matter, dare to intercept it.
The sound of hooves shattered the silence of the houses on both sides of the street at night, and passers-by stopped to watch, and the people in the houses also rushed to the door to see what was going on.
"The Yan army is marching westward, and it is coming to Chengdu" The news of the Yan army's 250,000 troops conquering Shu has spread to the Shu Yan Palace, to the Prime Minister's Mansion, to the Hussar General and the Che Cavalry General's Mansion, and finally to the entire Chengdu.
The dark clouds of war hung over Chengdu, and the whole city was in panic.
Many merchants sold their shops and fled to southern Yizhou and then to Jingzhou.
On the streets of Chengdu, many shops have posted transfer announcements, and the streets are full of loaded cars and horses and people carrying large bags and small bags ready to leave the city, but the soldiers defending the city will naturally not let them go, which caused a quarrel and riots.
Coo-coo At dusk, another three or five pigeons swept high over Chengdu, and they could not be seen at all without looking carefully on the ground.
After falling into the four walls of the house, they flew low in unison, towards an attic.
Above the attic, a man was looking over the railing, bathed in the sunset, and saw the pigeons flying, and as soon as his arms were stretched, the pigeons landed on his hands and arms.
He untied a bamboo pipe from the leg of one of the pigeons, poured out a small note, read it carefully, and after carefully studying it for a long time, he finally figured out the meaning of the text, and unconsciously showed a solemn expression.
This kind of code language, which was called pinyin in later generations, is impossible for non-Black Panther Guards to decipher, even if it is a Black Panther Guard who has been trained for many years, sometimes it takes a long time to understand the meaning.
"Very good, I've been waiting for this day for too long, the lord has been invaded by the big-eared thief, and he has been imprisoned by him for several years, and finally there is a time to see the light of day again" He took out a large plate of rice and a jar of water and put them on the ground, let the pigeons eat, and then hurriedly wrote a few secret letters and stuffed them into the bamboo pipe on the pigeon's legs, and hurried downstairs.
In the imperial study, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng, Li Yan, Yan Yan and others were secretly discussing the matter of facing the Yan army.
Gongsun Bai swept through the thirteen states of the world, sitting on nearly a million soldiers and horses, and now these twenty-five armies are the elite of the elite and unstoppable.
As soon as the Shu Han regime was decided, it was impossible to gather 700,000 soldiers and horses like the historical expedition to Eastern Wu, and perhaps one carelessness would cause a popular uprising.
For the young Shu Han regime, the situation was already very critical.
Liu Bei's face was very ugly, and he asked in a deep voice: "The Yan thief is menacing, how should I deal with it now?"
Zhuge Liang smiled indifferently: "The Yan army is invincible in the Central Plains, but now Yizhou is mountainous, and it may not be a place where he can be arrogant."
And the Yan army's battle line is too long, and the mountain roads are rugged and not conducive to the operation of grain and grass, so we only need to send a few good generals to hold on, and when the Yan army's grain and grass do not continue, they will naturally withdraw their troops and retreat. ” After speaking, he slowly walked to the sand table in the imperial study, pointed to the terrain of Hanzhong and Shuzhong, and continued: "The Yan army wants to enter Hanzhong from Qinchuan, which is nothing more than the praise slope road, Chen Cang Road, Meridian Road, Fu Luo Road and other roads.
If Yan Jun wants to break through, it will not be easy.
Even if the Yan army breaks through the valley road and enters Hanzhong, it must pass through the Dingjun Mountain, and it will be guarded by heavy generals there, even if the Yan army has excellent armor, it will be difficult to break it in one or two months.
After Dingjun Mountain is Nanzheng City, Nanzheng City is the first fortified city in Hanzhong, and then resist for a month or two, and then retreat to Shuzhong.
At that time, the minister will defend it with a large army, the war has dragged on for several months, the grain and grass are inconvenient to transport, the grain and grass will be exhausted, and the morale will be low.
As soon as he said this, all the generals were excited, and there was a strong confidence in his eyes, and Liu Bei also nodded and said: "What Kong Ming said is that you can do all the war arrangements cheaply." ” Chen Cangdao.
The 100,000 Yan army is like a long dragon, passing through the mountains and mountains, and the soldiers and horses in front are more than half of the soldiers and horses about to reach the Jialing River section, and the rear army is still in Guanzhong.
Chencang Road is one of the six dangerous roads in the Qinling Mountains, which is divided into two sections, namely the Old Road and the Jialing Road.
In history, the so-called "bright plank road, dark Chen Cang" is the dangerous road.
At that time, Liu Bang first burned the plank road of the Bao Slope Road, and then deliberately rebuilt the 500-mile plank road of the Bao Slope Road, which confused Zhang Han, a famous general at the end of the Qin Dynasty, and then attacked the pass from Chen Cang Dao.
But this time, he wanted to be bright about Chen Cang, attack Hanzhong openly, and then conquer the land of Bashu in the west.
The road is getting narrower and narrower, the cliffs on both sides are towering, the road is narrow, and the front section is very rugged, and you have to dismount to walk.
The white horse Yicong, who led the way in front, led the war horse under the leadership of Zhao Yun, and moved forward nervously and cautiously.
Only Guo Jiaqiang refused to get down on the horse, although the horseback was bumpy, but if he was allowed to walk through this rugged mountain road for hundreds of miles, I am afraid that he would not know where he would fall.
After a very rough mountain road, there is a wide avenue ahead, and after a short distance, you will encounter a riverbed, and then you will walk a steep path.
The road was full of twists and turns, sometimes spacious, sometimes rugged, and everyone walked miserably.
The army walked for three days until it finally came to a spacious riverbank.
The beach is full of sand and gravel, and a small river flows quietly.
The soldiers were in great spirits, and they went forward to fetch water to drink, and after filling the water bladders, they let the horses drink.
A person who led the way said: "This water is called the old water, and this section of the road is also called the old road."
After this section of the river beach, there will be a long section of spacious avenue in front, and after the spacious avenue in front, you will arrive at Jialing Road, and walk along the Jialing River. ” Gongsun Bai looked at the sky, and then looked at the spacious river beach and clear water, which was the good bottom of the army's station, so he ordered the army to camp on the spot and bury the pot to cook.
The sun is setting, and the remnant sun is like blood.
Gongsun Bai stood on the river beach, looking at the bright red sunset, with a lot of thoughts in his heart.
Since he crossed, it has been twenty-two years since he crossed over, and now only the land of Yizhou is not flat, and it is time to end.

Coo-coo Suddenly there was a pigeon's cry over his head, Gongsun Bai was in good spirits, and when he looked up, he saw two or three white doves fluttering and landing on his shoulder.
Gongsun Bai hurriedly removed the secret letter on the pigeon's leg, and after reading it in a hurry, his face changed slightly.
"The Chencang crossing has been built and filled by the Shu army, and the defenders are nearly 10,000."
Gongsun Bai handed the secret letter in his hand to Guo Jia beside him and asked, "Why did you break it?"
Hao Zhao in history, at the exit of Chencang Road to build a city, the result is only a few thousand soldiers and horses can block Zhuge Liang's 200,000 troops, now Zhuge Liang sent people to build a pass in the south to directly fill the valley road, to break through the pass is not easy.
Guo Jia also fell into deep thought, looking at the old way water in front of him.
Gradually, Guo Jia's brows softened, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he smiled at Gongsun Bai: "Kong Ming's mantis arm is used as a car, how can he stop the Great Yan Heavenly Army, but" Gongsun Bai's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Don't sell it to me" Guo Jia said with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't know, Weichen has a bad habit, that is, the more he drinks, the more he will be brighter, and now he has not been able to drink for a few days, and he is gradually sluggish."
If you get a pot of good wine, Weichen only needs to use a little trick, how can he make Kong Ming's Xiongguan useless. ” Gongsun Bai couldn't help but be furious, and kicked him in the ass: "Come quickly, if the strategy can be used, reward you with a thirty-year-old Du Kang, if it is a mistake, you will be severely punished with thirty military sticks."
Guo Jia laughed and said: "This strategy is all on the lord. ” After speaking, he pointed to the old road water in front of him: "This water is connected to the Jialing River, if you sail along the river, it only takes a few days to get out of Chencang Road, and then go to the lower reaches of the Jialing River to land, and then go back to Ma Po Chencang to explore the bag and take things."
Although the Jialing River is relatively narrow, it cannot cross 100,000 troops, but if it is carried by 5,000 white horses, it should not be difficult. ” If this is said in the eyes of outsiders, it is simply an idiot, because it is difficult to even walk in this Chencang Road, where to get a boat that can carry cavalry, but for Gongsun Bai, it is as convenient as eating.
After thinking for a while, Gongsun Bai glared at Guo Jia viciously, and shouted angrily: "Come on, bring me wine."
Jialing Pass, the wall built by Zhuge Liang to block Chencang Road.
This level is not only high and thick, but also extremely difficult and dangerous, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Moreover, because the passage is extremely narrow in the valley, the troops in front of the wall at one time are extremely limited, and it is difficult to deploy them, even if the Gongsun army is strong and thick, there is no way to stop the fierce attacks such as rolling stones, sassal wood, and crossbow arrows on the wall in this narrow passage.
What's more, this pass is only about the wall, and if the door is not closed, it is impossible to break the door with gunpowder, and the wall is more than ten zhang thick, and no matter how much gunpowder is piled up under the wall, it is difficult to blow up the wall.
Gongsun Bai's 100,000 troops were all gathered in the valley mouth.
The gatekeeper is Wu Yi, a famous general in Shu.
For seven days, the Gongsun army did not move, and did not do as the defender Wu Yi expected, the Yan army not only did not attack his Xiongguan, but also did not even move a decent attack a few times, each time it was a bluff, every time it rushed to the pass, before the substantive attack was launched, it went through the motions like a tide.
On the night of the ninth day, at the third watch, the Gongsun army finally pushed the cloud ladder and launched a fierce attack on Jialing Pass.
The sound of shouting and killing, the sound of weapons colliding, the sound of drums and horns and other sounds gathered together, rippling in the valley and among the mountains, countless torches illuminated the sky brightly, and the battle at the head of the city was extremely fierce.
On the top of the Guanlou, Wu Yi, the fierce general of the Shu army, was hoarsely commanding the Shu army to release arrows to the pass, smash rolling stones and wood, and splash boiling water, so that although the Gongsun army was offensive, it could not pass the city tower by half a step.
Woooooooo Just when the fierce battle was raging on the east tower, a melodious and fierce horn suddenly sounded from behind the Jialing Pass, sweeping like a hurricane.
Wu Yi's face couldn't help but change greatly
