Zhao Yun led 5,000 cavalry and 5,000 grain transporters to quietly turn to the Meridian Valley.
It wasn't until he stepped into this path that Zhao Yun knew how difficult the path of Meridian Valley was.
The road is rugged and difficult, and it is no more than 100 miles in a day.
At such a speed, it is still the speed of an all-out march.
Fortunately, the war horses of Dahua have horseshoes.
If there is no horseshoe, I am afraid that the wear and tear of the war horse's hooves alone will make the war horses of Dahua unbearable.
There is also an advantage to walking in the Meridian Valley, that is, because of the roads and remoteness in the Meridian Valley, there are no defenders at all.
If you go outside, you can't get around Hanzhong.
And all the way to the city outside, defending at all levels, it is impossible for them to get through it at all.
Zhao Zilong believes that Meridian Valley is the best path for them.
Through the Meridian Valley, Zhao Zilong and his cavalry spent fifteen days At the mouth of the Meridian Valley, Zhao Zilong did not rush out of the valley, but first sent scouts to contact the CIA spy personnel.
Soon I got the news that the latest batch of grain delivered from Chang'an had only departed three days earlier Moreover, the amount of grain transported this time is relatively large, at least enough for Cao Cao's army to eat in March.
Depart 3 days ago After getting this news, Zhao Zilong's eyes couldn't help but light up.
The speed of the daily march of the grain transport team is very low.
In three days, it was only a little more than 100 miles.
At this point, the cavalry of their Shenji Battalion would not take a day at all.
They came this time, and it was just right This time, as long as this batch of grain and grass can be burned, Cao Cao will be able to deal a head-on blow.
Thinking of this, Zhao Zilong ordered his soldiers to bury the stove and cook, this time, not only breakfast, but even lunch was ready, and everyone took it with him.
Then everyone got on their horses and threw away all the grain.
In fact, they only brought food for one trip.
Because carrying too much food is a huge burden for them.
The food for the return trip can be grabbed directly.
They had 10,000 cavalry, and they could buy the grain and grass they used casually.
Next, they went out from the Meridian Valley, went to the official road, and rushed straight to the grain transportation team. 10,000 soldiers and horses suddenly appeared outside Chang'an City, which had already alarmed the defenders in Chang'an City.
When the defenders got the report and found a cavalry team of 10,000 people outside Chang'an City, they couldn't help but be taken aback.
Damn, okay, why did 10,000 cavalry suddenly pop up Where the hell did they come from?
What the hell are they trying to do?
The first reaction of the Chang'an defenders was not to send troops to attack or pursue this cavalry at all, but to hurriedly order all the gates of Chang'an City to be closed.
Then he ordered his soldiers to go up to the city wall and defend it.
Now there are not many troops in Chang'an City, and if you really encounter the army of Dahua attacking the city, it will be a big trouble.
In fact, when he sent Zhao Zilong over, Lu Bu didn't think about whether to let Zhao Zilong attack Chang'an City by the way after burning the grain and grass But in the end, this is simply unrealistic, and even self-defeating.
In the original historical trajectory, Wei Yan once offered Zhuge Liang the Meridian Valley plot, but in the end Zhuge Liang did not adopt Wei Yan's scheme.
So, is there any possibility of success for Wei Yan's Meridian Valley conspiracy at the beginning?
The probability of success of this ploy is really small, almost zero.
You, Wei Yan, led 10,000 soldiers and horses to the outside of Chang'an City through the Meridian Valley, and you can ensure that these 10,000 people can take Chang'an City This is Chang'an City, it is estimated that as long as there are 3,000 defenders in the city, you will have no possibility of taking 10,000 people.
When you take Chang'an, the Wei soldiers in the nearby cities won't come to help in the battle At that time, the strength of Wei was far greater than that of Shu Han.
Wei Yan wanted to take Chang'an directly through the Meridian Valley, but it was basically no fun.
Similarly, Zhao Yun wanted to use a mere 10,000 cavalry to take Chang'an, but it was basically useless.
What's more, even if it is taken down, what is it What to do with logistical supplies The lone army went deep and occupied Chang'an City, once it was surrounded by Wei soldiers, it was really impossible to run away from heaven and earth.
Therefore, Lu Bu only thought about this thought for a moment, and then threw it out of the clouds.
And Zhao Yun led the cavalry to burn grain and grass, and captured Chang'an City, which are completely two different things.
The cavalry was very mobile, and it was impossible to run away after a team of grain carriers.
And the officers and soldiers transporting grain, Lu Bu estimated that 3,000 people broke through the sky.
Zhao Yun's 10,000 cavalry faced 3,000 grain carriers, and the result was absolutely no suspense.
Therefore, this surprise attack did not have the slightest difficulty for Zhao Yun.

At worst, self-protection is more than enough At this time, the guards in Chang'an City were afraid after a while.
Tightly close the gates of Chang'an City, and then transfer all the soldiers to the city wall Hassan to guard it tightly.
However, after defending for most of the day, he was stunned to find that the 10,000 cavalry that suddenly appeared in the team had magically disappeared suddenly What the hell are they doing?
Play hide and seek The defender of Chang'an City, after hesitating for a long time, finally sent scouts to find out the whereabouts of the 10,000-strong cavalry.
This time, the news was quickly inquired about.
After all, a cavalry team of 10,000 people is difficult to hide even if you want to.
After hearing that this team suddenly appeared, and then abruptly headed southwest, seeing that their target should be in the direction of the valley.
Well A cavalry contingent that suddenly appeared went to dry hair in the direction of the valley Could it be that their goal is not Chang'an, but the valley But what's the use of occupying the valley?
Not good The guards of Chang'an City were puzzled for a long time, and then suddenly reacted.
Where do they want to occupy the valley, their goal is clearly to transport grain This pair of cavalry is simply running for food and grass It's over, it's over With these 10,000 cavalry chasing and killing, the grain transport team didn't want to run away at all.
It's ridiculous that I thought people were going to attack Chang'an City just now, so I was so frightened that I closed the city gate and guarded it strictly, but it turned out that people didn't come to Chang'an City at all.
If this was the case, it would have been good to send troops out of the city at that time and drag this cavalry team.
However, the guards of Chang'an City also knew very well in their hearts that this was simply impossible.
They are cavalry, they are very mobile, they come and go like the wind, what do you use to drag people alas It seems that the grain and grass this time are destined to be unkept And once the grain and grass are lost, the hundreds of thousands of troops will face the end of having no food to eat, and this time, the prime minister is afraid that he will have to withdraw the army:
