Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 731 Digging mountain roads and building bridges!
If Wei wanted to go south to Shu, there were only four roads.

One of the Taurus Road.

This is starting from Hanzhong, passing through "Mian County" and passing the ancient Yangping Pass, then turning to the southwest, going down to Jiange along the Jialing River, heading south to Jianmen Pass, which is the Jianmen Pass, and turning southwest after passing Jianshan, passing through four cities. County, around Qiqu Mountain to Zitong, then around Longquan Mountain, through Mianzhu, and finally to Chengdu.

The second is Micang Road.

Micang Road was first built in the late Qin Dynasty and got its name because it crosses Micang Mountain, a branch of Daba Mountain. It starts from Hanzhong and leads to the northern section of Micang Road, then crosses Baling to the south and enters the ancient base of Bajiang River, and then passes through Yuquan to the upper two. , then go south along the valley road to Nanjiang County, continue southward, you will be in Bazhong, and the southwest direction will be Chengdu.

Third, Litchi Road...

Speaking of which, the Ancient Lychee Road was first built in the Tang Dynasty. It was a post road connecting Fuling and Guanzhong. According to legend, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty ordered people to build the post post road specially to transport the lychees from Fuling to Chang'an in order to make Concubine Yang a smile.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, Litchi Road also had a famous name, and its northern section was the famous "Ziwu Road", which was the one where Wei Yan proposed the Ziwu Valley conspiracy.

The south...is also an extremely narrow path, and it is precisely because of the narrowness...it can be described as "one man guards the gate, and ten thousand men cannot open it".

Judging from these three ways, the sentence "the road to Shu is more difficult than going to the blue sky" written by Li Bai in later generations is by no means a lie.

Shu Dao is not joking...it is really difficult!
At this time, Lu Yu was drawing a topographic map of Bashu in front of all civil and military personnel. The top part was Longxi, Tianshui, Wugong, Chang'an and other counties, and the lower part was Qishan, Sanguan, Wujie, Hanzhong... and then down, it was Yinping, Hanshui, Jinniu Road, Micang Road, and Lizhi Road.

Lu Yu's drawing caused an uproar among the civil and military audience.

Because in this era, map drawing is a very painful task, and drawing a map often requires a large number of guides, local villagers, and people.

But with so many roads, how many people are needed?
Is there any careful work among the people?
Was it deliberately sent by Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei to spread false news and lure the enemy to go deep?

These are questions.

Can…

Lu Yu's current drawing can prove his authenticity from many scattered maps, which is too real.

The key is…

Lu Yu did it in one go, but occasionally closed his eyes, as if remembering something...

Then continue to draw, the whole process is amazing.

certainly…

For Lu Yu's miracles like this, everyone is used to it, so it can be regarded as a routine operation!

"This is the map from Longxi to Hanzhong, and south to Bashu..."

Lu Yu carefully pointed to the roads. He explained the Jinniu Road, Mi Cang Road and Lychee Road successively, and finally brought the topic to Yinping Road, and his expression became serious.

"Does anyone know this Yinping Road?"

Lu Yu's inquiry made the whole hall silent...

Many people don't even know that there is such a Yinping Road. Even Xia Houyuan, who is in charge of the defense of Hanzhong, thought over and over again...and then remembered that there is such a way.

But it is far away from the people... there is no human habitation for hundreds of miles, the most important thing is that Yinping Road has a natural barrier - Motian Ridge!

It is connected to Micang Mountain in the east, and Daba Mountain in the east of Micang. It wraps the Shu land so tightly that even birds, let alone people, cannot fly over it.

"Your Majesty...you can't go through this Yinping Road!" Xia Houyuan frowned, "Some local people once mentioned this Yinping Road, but according to them, no one has ever walked this road through the ages, and the last general also sent people I tried to walk this Yinping road, but for a whole month, the food was exhausted, but there was still no end... I could only see the unreachable front... the unattainable Motianling! Take ten thousand steps back and say, Even if we go to the end, we won't be able to climb Motian Ridge!"

As Xia Houyuan said.

There is a description of Yinping Road in "Three Kingdoms", saying that Deng Ai passed Yinping...

——"From Yinping Road to the uninhabited land for more than [-] miles, digging mountain passages and building bridges and pavilions. The mountains are high and the valleys are deep, which is extremely difficult and dangerous";
——"The soldiers all climbed the wooden edge cliff and filed in."

From here, we can also see the danger of Yinping Road.

Lu Yu is quite familiar with the geography here, and he also knows that if he wants to sneak across Yinping and go straight to Shuhan... the difficulty lies in the difficulty of crossing the no-man's land of more than 700 miles.

You have to cross Motianling, pass Tangjiahe, Yinping Mountain, Mazhuanguan, Jingjun Mountain, and reach Jiangyou Pass in Pingwu County!

After breaking through the Jiangyou Pass, you can see the endless Chengdu Plain.

And the Motian Ridge is more than 2000 meters above sea level, and the passes in the middle... are even more precipitous. One man should be the pass, and ten thousand people can't open it... Smuggling through here is simply impossible!

but…

Deng Ai is not the only one who has achieved this in history.

Zhu Yuanzhang's general Fu Youde also imitated Deng Ai, stole surprise soldiers from Yinping Road, crossed Motianling, and pacified Shu in one fell swoop.

In modern times... when Qingchuan was liberated, the red army also marched from Yinping Ancient Road.

This shows...Although the path of Yinping seems unreliable, it is by no means an insurmountable natural danger.

"Back then, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty Mingxiu planned the plank road to cover Chen Cang secretly. Only then did he break through the mountains surrounding Bashu in one fell swoop, and hit a surprise. Similarly...General Xiahou thought that this Yin level was insurmountable, so Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang would also think so, so that they would not be able to escape. For prevention... If our army can really enter the Chengdu Plain from here, it will be devastating to the morale of the Shu army and the morale of the people of Bashu."

"But..." Xia Houyuan said hastily: "But the key problem is that we can't make it through!"

"Yes!" Lu Yu drew a path on the Yinping Road with a pen, roughly following the original position of the Yinping Road, but there are some differences in the details... For example, the most difficult part at the front is passed by a hot air balloon!

Another example is Motian Ridge. Lu Yu deliberately drew the position of the march on the west slope of the north of the Ling.

This is because...the north and west slopes of Motianling are relatively gentle, while the south is steep and cliffy, with no way to go.

When Deng Ai crossed Motianling, the place where he "wrapped himself in felt and turned down" was on the south side of the southern foot of Motianling. The army in the Ming Dynasty walked on the west slope...it was obviously much easier!
As long as accurate calculations are made and two months' food is prepared, the soldiers will have enough food to cross Motianling. As long as they pass Motianling, there is Yinping Mountain in front of them...over Yinping Mountain, across the Minjiang River...there is no limit to the horizon Chengdu Plain.

Lu Yu told these stories to everyone.

He spoke very carefully, ensuring that everyone who participated in the meeting... could have the most intuitive feeling about "Yin Ping".

"In other words... aren't these towering mountains just a natural hiding place to hide our troops from the Wei Dynasty going south? As long as we reach the Chengdu Plain, the morale of the Shu army will completely collapse as soon as we reach the Chengdu Plain... This is a trick to draw fire from the bottom! "

This is how the three times in history smuggled into Yinping...

Lu Yu narrates eloquently... When it comes to exciting things, he raises his voice, as if the Chengdu Plain is already in front of him.

certainly…

Because Lu Yu's words were too bold, if someone else said it, he might be regarded as a fool...

But Zhuyu is in the front... Which one of Lu Yu's actions was not so bold?
"Does Your Majesty have to go to Yinping?" Xia Houyuan finally decided.

Lu Yu nodded.

Xia Houyuan immediately cupped his hands, "Then... the general is willing to take the Speedy Battalion to cross this Yinping Road and climb this Motian Ridge!"

Well…

What Lu Yu didn't expect was that Xia Houyuan took the initiative to invite Ying.

"I am also willing to lead the Longxiao camp to the Yinping Road!" Cao Xiu bowed his hands and begged for orders.

"Don't forget me, old brother!" Xiahou Dun also stood up...

"Everyone, everyone may have their own strengths when it comes to commanding the army, but let me, Zhang Wenyuan, go to win this surprise attack!" Zhang Liao also looked eager to sharpen his sword.

Seeing this Yinping Road, he seemed to think of the inaccessible trail he walked through Lulongsai...over Shouyang Mountain during the Northern Expedition to Wuhuan, and then...killed with one blow!
What a familiar taste!

seem…

Originally...this very unreliable proposal of "smuggling into Yinping" was just because...it was Lu Yu who made the suggestion, so everyone asked for it!
Maybe...they are still not optimistic about this action, but they are optimistic about Lu Yu!
Yinlin's strategy of attacking the enemy and attacking the heart is exhaustive, and there has never been a flaw!
...

...

Xu Capital City, at the foot of Rang Mountain.

"The heart and breath are good, the air is smooth, and you can't say it... Nourish the essence according to the time, and collect the real energy. Harvest when it is prosperous, replenish it when it is damaged, gather when it is scattered, and take it when it is right, that is the original energy!"

call…

Accompanied by a long exhalation.

Under Zhang Lu's teaching, Cao Cao completed a new day of practice.

In fact, it is a practice, nothing more than some refreshing, meditation and meditation.

However, without the troubles of trivial matters, Cao Cao has not had a headache for more than half a month.

This feeling is amazing... I don't have to be anxious and irritable all the time because of the wind...

Can be…

On this day, there was really a "trifle" that he had to look over.

Xu Chu stood in front of Cao Cao, and just now he handed Cao Cao a bamboo slip... At this time, Cao Cao's eyes were fixed on the bamboo slip.

"Yu'er wants to sneak into Yinping?"

Cao Cao looked at the map sent along with the bamboo slips... He naturally noticed the inaccessible Yinping Road, the Motian Ridge and Yinping Mountain behind Yinping Road, and... the Minjiang River...

What kind of route and practice is this?

"It's a little risky." Cao Cao's eyes gradually narrowed, and he sighed softly.

"General Xiahou Miaocai also mentioned that this trip is extremely dangerous, but...Your Majesty insists on marching like this...No one can persuade you." Xu Chu told Cao Cao the discussion of Bafu.

Cao Cao's expression became cloudy...

Compared with the dangers on the "road" mentioned by Xia Houyuan, Cao Cao thought more about it. He even considered that, even as Yuer mentioned... the army can reach the Chengdu Plain, what will happen after that?
Perhaps...Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang will panic for a short time because of this "magic soldiers descending from heaven"...

It won't be long before Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei can make corresponding strategies...

To put it bluntly, this is a divine soldier descending from heaven.

It can be said that it is not easy to say, that is, the solitary army goes deep... and it is the solitary army that has absolutely no way out.

Cao Cao thought that Zhuge Liang could have a hundred ways to deal with this lone army.

"What the hell is Yu'er thinking?"

Cao Cao said to himself...

Xu Chu scratched his head and added a question, "I don't know what your majesty thinks, but later, I thought about it carefully... What if Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei went out? Hanzhong's southward journey is not just this Yinping road... such as Jinniu Road His Majesty, Lizhidao, and Micangdao also sent troops south? How could Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei sit in the city of Chengdu... Calculated in this way, it seems that only one can sit in Chengdu..."

Although Xu Chu's words were rough, the truth was not rough.

In just an instant, Cao Cao's eyes widened in vain. He looked at Xu Chu in astonishment, and gradually opened his eyes wide...

Because, he thought of a big event, a thing he almost forgot...

If it is based on this matter...then it would be a "skillful hand" to smuggle into Yinping and take Shu Han directly!

indeed…

Just as Cao Cao thought.

Historically, Wei Yan's Ziwu Valley conspiracy and Deng Ai's smuggling into Yinping, directly taking Shu Han... are actually very unreliable.

They even have the same characteristics - huge risks and extremely low success rate!
In other words, it’s like Wei Yan’s conspiracy in Ziwu Valley. Even if he can really get out of the thorny Ziwu Valley, judging from the ability of Cao Wei Guanzhong’s defenders and the speed of Cao Wei’s army’s support and dispatch, Wei Yan took Chang’an, and even The possibility of taking Tongguan is extremely low.

Smuggling to Yinping...will face the same problem.

That is, even if you arrive at the Chengdu Plain, there is still a Mianzhu Pass before Chengdu?How are you doing?
Overcoming thorns and thorns, crossing three to five hundred miles, and passing through uninhabited mountainous areas... The Wei army has already become a tired army. How could it be the opponent of the Shu army?

But the success of smuggling to Yinping in history lies in the fact that the Shu Han people have long been alienated from the regime, and have long betrayed the Shu Han spiritually.

When Deng Ai led a group of ragged soldiers and appeared on the border of the Shu Han, many guards of the Shu Han chose not to resist, but to surrender.

In the end, those who can stand up for the Shu Han are those who have a special affection for the Shu Han, such as Zhuge Zhan, the son of Zhuge Liang, Zhang Zun, the grandson of Zhang Fei, and others...

It's just that these people were too few, and they were easily defeated by Deng Ai, and after Zhuge Zhan and others were killed one after another, Liu Chan couldn't wait to open the city gate... At this time, Jiang Wei's army was still blocking Zhong Hui in Jiange !
Lu Yu just understood too well...

If it’s just smuggling to Yinping, it must be a failure, and we must cooperate with the upside...

Deng Ai took advantage of the separation of people's hearts in Bashu, but what he used... was the combination of inside and outside!
Cao Cao just realized this level... The corners of his mouth were raised, and he showed a meaningful smile.

"Ha ha…"

Cao Cao chanted with a slight smile: "What a smuggled into Yinping, and went straight to the Shu Han!"

...

...

Chengdu, the palace hall.

Liu Bei is discussing the Northern Expedition with Baiguan.

then…

When Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor...the rhetoric of the "Northern Expedition" five years later mentioned in his mouth was especially true.

If there is no more Northern Expedition...the slogan that Han and Thief are not at odds, and Wang Ye is not partial to peace, will become empty talk!

But...Liu Bei's Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang disagreed!
at this time…

Zhuge Liang, with a bandage on his head and a haggard face, also participated in the discussion. His haggard appearance is hard to imagine...but at the age of 30, his face is so pale and sickly.

But he still tried to stand up straight... Reported: "Your Majesty, Cao Wei moved Hanzhong Wudoumi believers and people to the inland, and promoted the field of grain storage throughout Hanzhong. In the past five years, a large amount of grain and grass have been accumulated. Once the five-year armistice agreement is over, It is necessary to go south to conquer Bashu. And Bashu uses one state to fight against the world's twelve states. It is not about occupying the sky, not occupying people's harmony...The most urgent thing is to wait for work at leisure, and guard the checkpoints everywhere! Don't talk about the Northern Expedition lightly... let alone give up the geographical advantage!"

Zhuge Liang's voice fell...

According to the past, there will be crowds, Liu Beiyan obeys.

But this time... changed, all changed.

There was an intriguing look in Liu Bei's eyes.

Immediately... Li Yan, who has always been extremely humble to Zhuge Liang, took a step forward, "I dare to ask the prime minister, how long does the prime minister plan to let Bashu and His Majesty guard?"
