It was the middle of September, an autumn rain and a cold.
Compared with the Central Plains, which is becoming increasingly depressed and scattered, the climate of Bashu, which is hidden deep in the mountains, is relatively mild.
Xu Huang, Fa Zheng, Fu Youde, and Zhang Xian led 30,000 elite soldiers over the mountains and mountains, through Guanghan County, and over the rolling mountains in Brazil County; Because of the continuous autumn rain, it took more than 20 days to quietly approach Mianzhu.
There are three checkpoints from Yongliang or Sanqin to Bashu, the first dangerous pass is the Sword Pavilion in Zitong County, the second checkpoint is Mianzhu in Guanghan County, and the third checkpoint is the North Gate Barrier of Chengdu.
Whether it is going north to Hanzhong or south to Chengdu, these three checkpoints are the only way to go.
In order to capture these three checkpoints, Zhao Kuangyin and Liu Yu led more than 100,000 people to attack for two and a half years, and finally fortunately, Zhu Di and Li Wenzhong smuggled from Yinping to attack from the north and south, and then conquered Jiange and Mianzhu, and the soldiers were under the city of Luoxian.
In the end, it was only by Wu Sangui's anger that he offered Ruo County to Hongyan, and he completely occupied these three dangerous passes.
Now, in the face of the fierce offensive of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Yu and Zhao Kuangyin have also enjoyed the benefits brought by these three dangerous passes, and with the danger of Yu County, they have blocked Liu Wei's army of more than 100,000 for a month.
Cao Cao ascended the throne and proclaimed the emperor, and the news of a large-scale invasion of Huainan has spread widely, as long as Huainan has a slight mistake, Liu Wei's capital will be shaken and uneasy.
The lesser of two evils, Liu and Zhao believe that between Chengdu and Jinling, Liu Wei will not hesitate to choose the latter.
As long as Huainan can't hold on, Liu Wei's army will inevitably withdraw from Bashu and defend the Central Plains, which is the best opportunity for Liu Zhao to occupy Bashu.
After seeing the situation clearly, Liu and Zhao were more unswerving in implementing the strategy of sticking to it, and used the word "drag" to deal with Liu Bian, as long as it dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be to Liu Bian.
If Cao Cao can fight for some reinforcements to defeat Zhuge Liang, Liu Wei will definitely strategically give up Bashu, and at that time, the princes of the Western Han Dynasty will usher in a desperate opportunity to survive As praised by Xin Qiji, "Jin Ge Iron Horse."
The heroic lord of the generation who swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger, as well as the founding emperors of the Great Song Dynasty, Liu Yu and Zhao Kuangyin's military ability was not covered, and they were keenly aware that the Han army was very likely to cross the mountains and mountains.
Sneak attack on Mianzhu in the area of Guanghan and Langzhong, so repair the book to Zhou Yafu and Xin Wenli, and let them lead the headquarters of 40,000 horses to defend Mianzhu and defend the retreat of Luo County, so as not to be cut off by the Han army.
Dumplings were wrapped.
There is no need to go to the front line to fight, you can minimize the damage and preserve the strength of your own side, Zhou Yafu and Xin Wenli naturally couldn't ask for it, and immediately led their troops to settle down in Mianzhu Pass.
The mountain wind blew, and the flags were hunting.
Xu Huang waited for the last soldier to come down from the hillside, and stood on a high place and loudly encouraged the army: "Soldiers, there are as many as 658 brothers who have fallen off the cliff on this road over the mountains and mountains.
In order to revive the Han Dynasty and for the peace of the world.
They paid with their lives, and in order to let the souls of our brothers rest in peace, we must take Mianzhu at all costs and open the way north to Hanzhong."
Under the encouragement of Xu Huang, nearly 30,000 soldiers were excited, and they clenched their fists and shouted: "Take Mianzhu, go north to Bashu and take Mianzhu, go north to Bashu" After the soldiers finished taking the oath, Fa Zheng arched his hand and said: "General Gongming, after several years of fighting.
Xia Guan knew very well that Liu and Zhao were not ordinary people, and nine times out of ten they would garrison Mianzhu with heavy troops.
If our army rushes out in such a rash manner, I am afraid that it may not be able to succeed.
It's better to let the soldiers hide in the woods for the time being, observe secretly, and then formulate a strategy to seize the pass."
"What Fa Xiaozhi said is extremely true.
Why don't you and I go on a trip to explore the terrain in person" Xu Huang agreed, and decided to personally spy on the military situation.
The order was immediately issued, and the 30,000 soldiers hid on the spot, looking for woods, ravines, and caves to hide, resting for three or two days, and then making a decision after quietly going to Mianzhu Pass to spy on them.
Because you have to go over mountains and mountains along the way.
Therefore, this team does not have a single war horse, and even Xu Huang, the main general, must walk on foot.
There was still a hundred miles from the foot of the mountain where the Han army descended to Mianzhu Pass, and Xu Huang, Fa Zheng and Zhang Song walked with dozens of followers for a day and a half before approaching Mianzhu Pass.
Hiding on the hillside and looking into the distance, I saw that the gate was closed, the flag was displayed on the head of the city, the swords and guns reflected the sun, and it was roughly estimated that there were at least more than 10,000 soldiers patrolling, and the two big flags of "Zhou and Xin" were fluttering in the wind, hunting and recruiting.
Seeing the strong walls of Mianzhu Pass, Xu Huang frowned and said: "Now it is peaceful, there are still more than 10,000 defenders on the city wall, and according to the proportion, there are at least 20,000 or 30,000 people in the pass."
The danger of this Mianzhu Pass is not under the county, and if we 30,000 people attack it, there is no chance of winning at all."
Listening to Xu Huang's words, everyone's faces became grim.
In order to climb the mountains and mountains, everyone traveled lightly and only brought a month's worth of food.
But I didn't expect to encounter continuous autumn rain on the road, delaying the trip for seven or eight days.
By the time they descended the mountain, the food in the pockets of the soldiers was less than ten days, which means that if they could not take the bamboo, the only food left in the army would not be enough to support them until they returned to the original route.
"There is no endless road, along the way, I saw that Baique Mountain is suitable for ambush, so we will make some articles here, maybe we can win by surprise" Compared with Xu Huang's worries, Fa Zhengze was much calmer, whispered in Xu Huang's ear for a while, and proposed a plan to lure the enemy in.
Xu Huang praised again and again: "This plan is feasible, if we can't lure Zhou and Xu out, we only have the only way out of attacking Mianzhu, even if we fight to the last person, we must win the level."
Two days later, Xu Huang led 10,000 horses to appear under the city of Mianzhu Pass, while Fa Zheng set up a command platform on Baique Mountain, and ordered Fu Youde and Zhang Xianer to lead 10,000 horses to ambush in dangerous places on both sides, and strive to encircle and annihilate the Western Han army that was chasing over in one fell swoop.
"I am Xu Huang, the general of the south of the Han Dynasty, the defenders of the city will open the door quickly, Rao Er will not die, otherwise he will break the gate and kill a piece of armor" Xu Huang carried a big axe under the city gate and shouted loudly.
"Quickly open the door and surrender" 10,000 soldiers shouted in unison.
Zhou Yafu and Xin Wenli got the report, put on armor together and went to the city wall to watch, only to see that there was indeed a Han army coming over the mountains and mountains, but the scale was only more than 10,000 people, and immediately ordered to open the city gate and led 30,000 horses to cover it up.
"Haha, Liu Deyu and Zhao Kuangyin really didn't expect it wrong, the Eastern Han Army really crossed the mountains and came to sneak attack" Xin Wenli expressed his ridicule to Zhou Yafu while riding his horse out of the city, "It's just that they thought of climbing the mountain and sneaking attack, but did they ever think that there were 40,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Mianzhu Pass, and Xu Huang sent his head by himself, you and I can't let this great achievement fly away."

Seeing that 30,000 horses were killed in Mianzhu Pass at once, Xu Huang pretended to be shocked and led his troops to leave without a fight.
Taking advantage of the hand-to-hand combat between the two armies, he grabbed more than ten war horses, personally broke the back, and retreated in the direction of Baique Mountain.
Xin Wenli held a square iron lance in his hand, and waved his troops in hot pursuit: "The soldiers will chase me with all my might, and I will be rewarded with a thousand gold for Xu Huang's head, and the marquis of the customs will be sealed."
There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and 30,000 Western Han soldiers chased after them, shooting and killing more than 2,000 defeated Eastern Han soldiers along the way.
However, because this team was carefully selected from more than 100,000 people in the Eastern Han Dynasty, although the Western Han army did not form an encirclement and annihilation posture despite its full pursuit, it chased more than 30 miles to the east, and still could not implement the encirclement.
Zhou Yaflema said with the reins: "You can't chase anymore, so as not to deceive" Xin Wenli disagreed: "Xu Huang led his troops over the mountains and mountains to sneak attack, but I didn't expect that there were heavy troops stationed in Mianzhu Pass, and he retreated in a panic, if General Zhou is worried, you lead a group of men and horses back to the city first, and I will lead my troops to chase after and behead Xu Huang back."
Although Zhou Yafu was suspicious, he could not be 100% sure that the Han army was cheating.
And there is no way to the east except for the rolling mountains, so it is really not the way to give up the pursuit.
Sometimes excessive caution is cowardice, the fighter plane is fleeting, let go of Xu Huang today, and will never wait for such a good opportunity in the future.
"What the new general said is very true, then I will give you 25,000 men and horses to continue the pursuit, and I will lead the others back to the pass to defend.
Don't be careless, beware of the Han army's fraud" Zhou Yafu admonished Xin Wenli and parted ways.
Xin Wenli led more than 20,000 horses to chase all the way, and was almost about to catch up at the foot of Baique Mountain, Xu Huang led his troops to retreat to the mountain "in a hurry" and defended it according to the danger.
Bows and arrows were fired in unison, and the Western Han army could not get close.
This white bird mountain is just a small hillside, the height is only fifty zhang, the radius is only two or three miles, because the legend has a white bird landing, so it is named.
Xin Wenli was overjoyed when he saw Xu Huang retreating to the mountain: "Haha, this Xu Huang is so ignorant of the art of war, retreating to the mountain is digging his own grave, and I will surround it This time I will definitely annihilate this team, so that Xu Huang will be unable to fly."
With Xin Wenli's order, 25,000 Western Han soldiers surrounded Baique Mountain. attacked many times in a row, but all of them were shot back with a strong bow and a hard crossbow.
In the afternoon, Xin Wenli led his troops to attack several times, but they were all shot back by Xu Huang's troops.
This made the morale of the Western Han army somewhat negative, and the soldiers became war-weary.
Xin Wenli raised his morale to boost morale: "Don't be discouraged, bury the pot to make food, eat and drink enough, let's wait for work and see how long Xu Huang can hold on to the hillside."
In the evening, the smoke rose from the cooking smoke at the foot of Baique Mountain, and more than 20,000 Western Han soldiers gathered around to eat together, discussing how to digest the fat on the mountain.
At this moment, Fa Zheng, who had been observing from a high place, waved a green flag at Xu Huang and ordered the whole army to rush down the hillside.
With a shout, the Han army on the mountain was killed like a flash flood.
Xu Huang urged the horse to carry the axe, like a god descending to earth, and killed in front of Xin Wenli with lightning speed, chopped down with an axe, and chopped off a human head. t1706231537:
