Baocheng is located in the hinterland of Hanzhong, surrounded by mountains and forests with impassable roads.
There are only two roads leading to Nanzheng County.
One of them is the official road, which can lead directly to Nanzheng.
However, the place where Wang Can camped was on this road.
If you rush to Nanzheng through this road, you will inevitably have to pass by Wang Can's camp.
In addition, there is another road in the mountains, which is winding and winding, with high mountains and weeds and jungles.
It is a difficult mountain road to walk.
Yan Yan led an army of 6,000 people and marched on the mountain trails.
Not only was the team long, but the marching speed was also very slow.
After he led an army of 6,000 to leave Baocheng, he felt a little lucky but also a little disappointed when he saw that Wang Can did not lead the troops to pursue him.
Fortunately, I left Baocheng, the sea and the sky were brighter, and I got rid of Wang Can's tight siege.
The loss was that a young general was left behind to garrison Baocheng and he went to Nanzheng.
The young general who stayed behind was trapped in Gucheng and was unable to break out.
The two situations made Yan Yan's inner emotions very complicated.
Nowadays, when Yan Yan is marching, he divides his scouts into two parts.
One part is used to detect the movements of Wang Can's army, and the other part is used to detect the road to Nanzheng to avoid taking more detours when encountering forks in the road.
We cannot reach Nanzheng in the shortest possible time.
At this time, Yan Yan was fighting alone, with no friendly support and no follow-up army to support himself.
The only thing he could rely on was the 6,000 troops he led.
The army is on the move and has little time to rest.
The journey continued for several hours.
Yan Zhi rode up to Yan Yan, raised his hands and said, "General, we have been driving for five hours straight, and the soldiers can no longer hold on.
If it were a straight and spacious official road, everyone could continue to persevere.
But it’s very hard to walk on such a mountain path, so stop and rest for a while.”
Yan Yan shook his head and said, "Let's go for another hour, and then the whole army will rest."
Now Yan Yan is competing with Wang Can for time.
He wants to rush to Nanzheng and capture Nanzheng before Wang Can captures Baocheng and leads his army back to support Nanzheng.
This can be said to be full of difficulties and extremely dangerous.
On the one hand, Yan Yan must lead the army to Nanzheng before Wang Can in order to have a chance to attack Nanzheng; on the other hand, Yan Yan must also have a strategy to break the city and be able to defeat Nanzheng in one fell swoop and overthrow Wang Can's lair. .
However, no matter which one it is, it is very difficult for Yan Yan who goes deep into the hinterland of Hanzhong alone.
It can be said that Yan Yan is already walking on a single-plank bridge, which is very dangerous.
If he is not careful, he is in danger of capsizing.
Generals such as Yan Yan and Yan Zhi were on horseback and could naturally hold on, but the other soldiers on foot could not hold on for long.
An hour later, the army was very tired, and every soldier had a tired look on his face.
"The army stopped to rest, buried pots to make rice, and prepared to eat."
Yan Yan was worried in her heart, but it didn't show on her face at all.
In fact, this is also the consequence of Pang Xi, Yang Huai and Gao Pei.
If the army led by Pang Xi had not lost its combat effectiveness and could not threaten Nanzheng, Yan Yan would not be in such a dilemma.
To advance is to Wang Can's hinterland, which is extremely dangerous; to retreat is to face Liu Yan's harsh criticism.
If he fails to live up to Liu Yan's trust, he may not be able to escape Wang Can's pursuit.
Both made it difficult for Yan Yan to make a choice.
In the end, Yan Yan chose to move on and rushed towards Nanzheng in an attempt to give Wang Can a fatal blow.
The army stopped and began to make rice.
At this time, the weather is dry and it is easy to start a fire.
Wisps of green smoke lingered in the sky, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of smoke.

About half an hour later, the air was filled with the aroma of rice and the aroma of boiling broth.
The two smells made the soldiers salivate.
They even swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and couldn't wait to eat.
Take a bite to fill your already hungry stomach.
"Da da"
The sound of horse hoofbeats came quickly.
Yan Yan heard the sound and went away, only to see a scout quickly rushing back from the rear of the army.
Obviously, these were scouts who went to detect the movements of Wang Can's army.
Because the road is narrow, it can only accommodate five people walking side by side.
When the horses are running fast, they can easily hit people.
Seeing this, the soldiers quickly stood up and made way for them.
The scout nodded, then raised his horse and raised his whip, constantly urging the horse under his crotch to speed up.
With an eager look on his face, he shouted loudly from a distance: "Report" The sound was full of energy and kept spreading around the road.
When he arrived at Yan Yan's side, the scout got off his horse, hurriedly walked to Yan Yan's side, and bowed to Yan Yan.
Yan Yan said: "Let's rest for a while and then talk about things."
The scout nodded and took a long, deep breath to soothe his rapidly beating heart.
After recovering a little, the scout said: "General, Baocheng has been captured by Wang Can.
Wang Can is currently leading the army to leave Baocheng and take the official road towards Nanzheng."
"What, we captured Nanzheng so quickly?"
When Yan Yan heard this, his body trembled unconsciously.
Realizing that he had lost his composure, Yan Yan immediately hid his excitement and asked in a deep voice: "What is going on in Baocheng?
There are Nanzheng clan to help defend the city, and there are also grains, grass, bows and arrows provided by the Baocheng clan.
With these, it is not a problem to hold on to Baocheng for three days.
How come it was captured in less than one day?
" Yan Yan had a look of surprise on her face, and a shadow fell over her heart.
When Yan Yan showed a surprised look, the sound of horse hoofbeats was heard again from the front of the army.
This was the scout who was inspecting the road ahead.
He got off his horse, bowed to Yan Yan, and stood there waiting.
The scout who was responsible for investigating the situation in Baocheng sighed and said: "General, Wang Can attacked Baocheng in less than a day and less than an hour.
With the help of Baocheng's big clan, he defeated Baocheng."
Yan Yan quickly asked: "The big families in Baocheng have rebelled."
The scout nodded and said: "The wealthy gentry assisted in the defense of the city.
By surprise, they pushed the Bao City defender off the city tower and fell to death.
They also killed the other generals who were guarding the city, and then opened the city gate and surrendered.
After Wang Can led the army into the city , and in less than half an hour, he led the troops to leave Baocheng.
He led the army along the official road, and it is estimated that he will soon arrive at the camp. " Yan Yan sighed and cursed secretly that the generals guarding the city were incompetent and were actually killed by Baocheng's powerful clan.
Incompetent Yan Yan was unwilling to give up, but she could only admit defeat.
The impregnable Baocheng was actually breached within half an hour, and now he led his troops and continued on their way.
This shows that Wang Can had worked hard to deal with him, otherwise he would not have left Baocheng in just half an hour and took the official road.
Heading towards Nanzheng.
Yan Yan turned around and saw the scout returning from exploring the road.
He also saw an eager look on the scout's face, and an unpleasant feeling arose in his heart.
He asked, "What's going on ahead?"
The scout soldier said: "There is a valley road ahead.
Because a huge boulder fell on both sides of the valley, the way forward is blocked."

Yan Yan breathed quickly and hurriedly asked: "How far is it from here?"
The scout replied: "Four miles away" Yan Yan immediately ordered: "Lead the way ahead, I will go to investigate the situation immediately."
After saying that, Yan Yan got on his horse, and without even eating, he followed the scouts towards the valley road ahead.
Although Yan Zhi also wanted to go, the army needed someone to take charge, so he stayed in the army, stabilized the army, and temporarily stationed the army here.
The war horses galloped and it didn't take long to reach the valley road.
Scout and Yan Yan got off their horses and walked towards the direction where the big rocks blocked the valley path.
Entering the valley, you can see that both sides of the valley are very narrow, only three meters wide.
In the middle of the valley, a huge boulder about four feet high blocked the way.
This boulder was inserted in the valley like a barrier and was difficult to climb over.
Yan Yan raised his head and glanced at the valleys on the left and right sides.
The left and right sides of the valley were steep and rugged, very high, and both sides were covered with trees and weeds.
It was impossible to cross the valley through the valley.
If you lead a large army into the mountains and forests, you may pass through the valley, but you may also not be able to find a way out after entering the mountains and forests.
"Hey, why is there a wooden sign erected in front of you?"
Yan Yan exclaimed, with a look of surprise on his face.
After hearing this, the scout's mouth twitched slightly.
Why did he forget to throw away the wooden sign?
Yan Yan stepped forward, took down the wooden sign stuck on the ground, took it in his hand and looked through it.
On the wooden sign, there are four big characters written: This road is blocked.
After reading the four words, Yan Yan's face became very ugly.
If it were just the words "This road is blocked", Yan Yan would have thought that an old farmer passing by had left a warning, warning people who wanted to pass this road that they could not pass.
However, there is still a signature on the wooden sign, which clearly states that Wang Can is here for a visit, and the time and date are clearly marked.
The time and date on it show that Wang Can has been here a few days ago.
In other words, Wang Can had already blocked Yan Yan's way to Nanzheng, making it impossible for Yan Yan to pass.
Even though Yan Yan wanted to break a huge boulder that was 1.4 feet high, Yan Yan did not have the tools to break the boulder.
With brute force alone, it would be impossible to open the road to Nanzheng in less than a day or two.
Watching Wang Can read these six words, Yan Yan's heart was as sharp as a knife.
He felt that the six words in front of him were so dazzling that he had the illusion that he couldn't open his eyes. hateful Yan Yan was furious, with a sad and angry look on her face.
The look in his eyes was like a child whose toy was suddenly taken away, making him want to cry in anger.
"What a thoughtful, powerful, and vicious person."
Yan Yan sighed, shook his head slightly, turned around and walked towards the war horse without saying a word.
He got on his horse and galloped towards the place where the army was stationed.
Seeing Yan Yan's gloomy face and returning to the camp without saying a word, the scouts did not dare to disturb Yan Yan, so he had to follow Yan Yan back to the army camp.
In the camp, all the soldiers had eaten their dinner, and all the burning fires were extinguished, leaving only a few red sparks.
Yan Zhi filled his stomach and stood at the front of the army, glancing at Yan Yan from time to time to explore the direction of the news.
He was holding a bowl of rice in his hand.
The rice was topped with pieces of meat and exuded a strong fragrance.
This was specially left by Yan Zhi for Yan Yan.
He looked into the distance and saw Yan Yan riding his horse back to the camp.
He immediately walked up and said, "General, let's eat."
Yan Yan turned over and dismounted, shook his head and said, "I won't eat if I'm not hungry."
After finishing speaking, Yan Yan walked directly to an empty place, sat down, and said nothing with a gloomy face.
Seeing this, Yan Zhi immediately asked: "What happened?
Why is the general doing this?"
The scout knew about the relationship between Yan Zhi and Yan Yan, so he reported back: "General Yan, the path to Nanzheng is blocked by a huge stone measuring 14 feet.

The army cannot move forward and can only stay here."
Yan Zhi looked strange, isn't it just a big stone?
After a pause, he asked again: "Just this matter."
The scout sighed and said: "There is a wooden sign erected next to the big stone, saying that Wang Can is here.
Wang Can deliberately blocked the road with the big stone to prevent our army from advancing."
When Yan Zhi heard this, his eyes widened, and then he sighed.
He walked up to Yan Yan and said in a deep voice: "Brother, please eat to fill your stomach first.
The situation is very critical now.
Six thousand brothers are counting on you to survive.
If something happens to you, what will the brothers do?"
Yan Zhi spoke sincerely, with a look of longing in his eyes, which made Yan Yan's body tremble unconsciously.
Yes, he carries the hopes of six thousand people.
If he is discouraged, what will the other six thousand people do?
Yan Yan secretly scolded herself that she shouldn't be so decadent.
However, the fight between Yan Yan and Wang Can really made Yan Yan feel a little disheartened.
No matter what Yan Yan did, he was suppressed every step he took.
Even if he moved a little, he was immediately suppressed by Wang Can.
This is completely unlike a battle on the battlefield, where true strength is relied upon.
Yan Yan holds a large ring knife in his palm, which makes him invincible in all directions and rarely encounters an opponent.
However, facing Wang Can, he felt helpless and didn't know what to do.
Now he heard Yan Zhi's words, like bells in the morning and drums in the evening, waking up Yan Yan and cheering him up.
Because he still has the support of 6,000 soldiers, as long as he doesn't give up, he still has a chance.
Thinking of this, Yan Yan took the bowl and ate the rice in big mouthfuls.
Only when you are full can you have the strength to fight Wang Can.
