I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 265
"If you attack Langzhong by water, and then attack Bazhong, this is indeed a wonderful move, but it is unlikely, because the Bingzhou Army does not have a navy, and I am afraid that it will not be able to build a large ship in a short time, and the water is rugged and winding. The place is turbulent and steep, and without guidance and words, people who are not familiar with the waterways would not dare to drive, besides, as long as Jiangzhou and Jiangyang and other places are strictly guarded, everything will be fine." Huang Quan said calmly.

After Liu Zhang heard the words, he felt a lot more relaxed. He stretched his brows and said with a smile: "I have thousands of miles of fertile fields in Yizhou, and I have enough soldiers and food, and there is a dangerous pass like Jianmen Pass. It seems that there is no need to worry about self-protection. Li Shimin has nothing to worry about, nothing to worry about. For worry, haha."

Wu Yi, the defender in Chengdu, frowned when he heard the words, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart. He thought to himself: Yizhou's safety is all tied to the closure of a sword gate?Will the natural danger be able to stop it?It was no more difficult than it is now for the Qin State to attack the Western Shu. What happened in the end is not to be broken. If it cannot be stopped, Yizhou will be completely hopeless. Should we consider the way forward in advance.

Wu Yi turned sideways to look at Zhang Song who was silent, seeing that he seemed to be nonchalant and didn't care at all, he couldn't help muttering in his heart: Didn't Zhang Song always feel that his talents were underappreciated, and he had been advocating the importance of being a master before? Returning to the king, welcoming the imperial army to enter Sichuan, and opposing the resistance of the heavenly soldiers, why did Li Shimin really come, but so calm and low-key, this is unreasonable, too abnormal, could it be that he has already taken refuge in Li Shimin?

Thinking of this, Wu Yi was startled into a cold sweat. He thought it was very likely.

After Huang Quan's analysis, Liu Zhang was completely relieved, and he didn't even prepare the second echelon force. In case of emergency, the troops in Shuzhong did not mobilize in advance. The North Korean, Chinese and military forces had their own thoughts, but what they didn't know was that, At this moment, there was an undercurrent flowing under their noses.

………………

The difficulty of the road to Shu is harder than going up to the blue sky, and the Jiange is towering and towering, but Cui Wei, one man guards the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it.

The [-] troops stopped and stopped along the way, and suffered a lot on this rugged mountain road. It was also the first time for Li Shimin to come to Shu, and he was deeply impressed by this amazing and magnificent scene. Also full of worries.

Finally, after paying a huge price, the vanguard [-] troops arrived at the Jiange, only ten miles away from Jianmen Pass. The vanguard officer Gao Lan immediately chose a relatively open and flat place to set up camp, and prepared for the nearly [-] troops behind. camp.

Three days later, the Chinese army and supplies finally arrived. In order to pass through this steep route, dozens of soldiers fell off the cliff and were smashed to pieces.

Li Shimin was not in a hurry to advance along the way, on the contrary, he fought steadily and steadily, not at all greedy for merit.

"My lord, turn over the mountainside road in front of you, and the sword gate is closed not far away. This section of the road is also the most dangerous, and the deadliest thing is that the sword gate is closed. Even if there are only 100 enemies, if you are here Guard, even if my army of [-] cannot pass through." Zhuge Liang said, pointing to the shadowy mountain road in the distance.

Li Shimin looked in the direction of Zhuge Liang's finger, and he saw the plank road embedded in the side of the mountain. It was so narrow that only one person could walk on it.

"It seems that a strong attack is not enough. I can only hope that Cheng Lian's surprise soldier will survive. I don't know how he is doing now." Li Shimin looked into the distance with his hands behind his back, his robe whistling under the strong wind.

Zhuge Liang approached and cupped his fists and said, "My lord, I haven't heard from General Cheng Lian yet, but I believe that General Cheng Lian will succeed."

Li Shimin turned around and beckoned everyone to go down, and continued to Zhuge Liang: "Well, General Cheng Lian has always been safe, and his handling of things is very close to my heart. I will leave the rest of the matter to my husband. This is a troop transfer talisman. With him These one hundred thousand troops are all at your disposal."

After finishing speaking, he handed the Tiger Talisman to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, looked up at Li Shimin with a calm expression, hesitated for a moment, walked over, took the Tiger Talisman, and said solemnly: "Kong Ming is willing to do his best for the Lord's great cause. After death." After saying that, he made a long bow.

Li Shimin helped Zhuge Liang up, and the two looked at each other for a moment, as if they understood each other's intentions, and they didn't say much, everything was kept in silence.

………………

Cheng Lian led the army over the Yinping Mang Mountain, looking for the path in the mountain stream. Although there were guides, time has changed. We also encountered complex landforms such as swamps, valleys, and rivers.

On Cheng Lian's journey, it was really difficult to open a road in the mountains, build bridges when encountering water, and wade through dangerous swamps. Fortunately, this guide is an old hunter who is active here, and Cheng Lian has some luck bonuses. It was safe and sound to walk out of that trail.

It's just that after walking for several days in a row, there was no sight of people or villages, which made Cheng Lian very worried. If he went the wrong way in the mountains, and his death was minor, and Li Shimin's major affairs were delayed, there would be no redemption for him.

"General, general..., the last general reports urgent military information." The scout ran over quickly and shouted wheezingly.

"Oh, tell me quickly." Cheng Lian also said very nervously.

The scout scrambled over and said before he stood up: "General, there is a city thirty miles ahead, which seems to be guarded by thousands of people. The general quietly approached and inspected it, and found that the city is Jiangyou City. "

"Jiangyou City? Have you checked it clearly?" Cheng Lian walked quickly to the scout and asked loudly.

"General, it's absolutely true. I also saw the big flag with the character of horse erected on the top of the city. It should be the guard general Ma Miao." The scout army said quickly.

Deputy General Cheng Xu stood up and said: "General, no matter whether this city is Jiangyou or not, our army must take it down. Right now our army is short of supplies, and our soldiers are exhausted. We just need a place to rest for a while. Now it's time to go all out. Take it decisively when the enemy can't react in time, and the situation will be clear at a glance."

Cheng Lian thought for a while and felt that the lieutenant general was right. At this time, he had to take down the city to find out. Whether it is true or not, the ten thousand troops are in urgent need of rest.

Immediately Cheng Lian ordered to go down, ready to take the city by surprise.

One hundred capable warriors disguised themselves as nearby mountain people, carried the freshly hunted prey in twos and threes, and headed towards Jiangyou in batches.

The guards of Jiangyou City didn't check carefully, so they let him into the city. After all, the mountain people nearby often went to the city to exchange some salt and other items, so the guards didn't think too much.

In this way, nearly a hundred warriors had entered Jiangyou this morning. Seeing that the time was right, Cheng Lian led an army of [-] people out of the valley and rushed to Jiangyou City.

"Soldiers, follow me!" Cheng Lian shouted, waving the horizontal knife in his hand and rushed out.
