After Jiang Wei received the order, he quickly led the army to set off.

In the eyes of everyone, Jiang Wei's action this time was too risky, and it was not much different from sending him to death, because Jiang Wei first had to pass through the defense line of Xingshi Mountain of Wei State before it was possible to enter Fugu, and after entering Fugu, he would also have to face countless Wei army checkpoints, and the probability of success was extremely slim.

But Jiang Wei is full of confidence and ambition, because Jiang Wei knows that an extremely secret path can lead from the Bao Slope Road to the watershed, and the watershed is the throat of the entire Fu Luo Road, if Jiang Wei can capture the watershed, he will definitely be able to cut off the Luogu Road and cut off the supply line that the Wei army relies on to survive.

Jiang Wei was born in Yongliang, and after descending to Shu, he followed Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition many times, plus he was diligent and studious, and had a special sensitivity to geography, so he knew these ancient roads of the Qinling Mountains well.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the Qinling Ancient Road is basically along the river valley, using the natural terrain to open up a few passable valley roads in the depths of the towering and steep mountains, it is not easy, and those paths connecting the ancient roads are more difficult and difficult to walk, and they are not in the scope of people's exploration.

But Jiang Wei, from the perspective of a military strategist, can naturally find the extraordinary features of these paths, this path from the slope to the watershed, is exactly what Jiang Wei can use.

Qinling is like a huge labyrinth, the valley road and mountain roads crisscross it, but most of them are dead ends, and there is no value for passing, so for thousands of years, from Guanzhong to Hanzhong, it is nothing more than a few roads, and now Jiang Wei wants to take a dangerous road that is different from Cong, and there have never been many people since ancient times.

Jiang Wei ordered his troops to throw away all their baggage and materials, and all of them traveled lightly, each of them bringing their own dry food for ten days, but rope hooks and claws were a must-have for everyone.

After entering the mountain, the road becomes tortuous and rugged, and the primeval forest that covers the sky and the sun is deep and quiet, and there is no one to see here except wolves, insects, tigers and leopards.

If it is an ordinary hunter woodcutter, when entering the depths of this mountain, the first thing to watch out for is the beast, but when the large army of the Shu army enters, it is natural that they will not be afraid of any beasts, and the heavily armed Shu soldiers even hope that they can hit one or two fierce beasts, so that they can fight tooth sacrifices.

Because Jiang Wei has a military order, the Shu soldiers are not allowed to leave the formation without authorization, let alone hunt without authorization, but if the beast comes to attack, it will be another matter.

Therefore, these Shu soldiers are looking forward to those wolves, insects, tigers and leopards can be beastly and take the initiative to attack them, but it is a pity that with such a large army, those fierce beasts have long been frightened and run far away, and they dare to come to provoke, so the Shu soldiers can only listen to the howl of tigers and wolves, but it is difficult to find a trace.

Zhao Guang still served as a pioneer, leading the troops to walk in the forefront of the team, opening the road in the mountains, building bridges in the water, because the roads they passed through were deserted places, so although it was said to be a road, but sometimes, there was no trace of the road at all, so Zhao Guang could only go to open up, and wade out of a road among the shrubs and weeds.

Crossing the primeval forest, although it is more difficult, there is no danger at all, but the real test of the Shu army is those cliffs.

The reason why this road cannot be called a road is because many sections of the road have no road to go at all, and the cliffs dozens of zhang high, the Shu army must rely on ropes to climb down. Some roads even winding through mountains, with only half a foot wide foothold under your feet, and half a step further is an abyss.

Jiang Wei also fought hard for this sneak attack, although he knew this road and had a detailed map of this road, but he himself was also the first time to take this road, in fact, whether it would work or not, Jiang Wei also crossed the river by feeling the stones.

But compared to breaking through Xingshi Mountain and entering Fu Valley, this road is at least much less dangerous, even if it really doesn't work, Jiang Wei has a way out.

But if he can really reach the watershed, then Jiang Wei is done.

The reason why the watershed is called the watershed, that is the top of the Qin Fly, the rain falling from the sky, in the watershed is divided into two, the north will flow into the Yellow River, the south will flow into the Yangtze River, such a dangerous place, once controlled by the Shu army, the Wei army wants to take it back, it is even more difficult.

Jiang Wei's plan is not just as simple as cutting off the Wei army's grain road, if the Shu army can occupy the Dividing Lacewing, it will completely cut off the Wei army's way back, after the Wei army runs out of food, it will inevitably take the road and flee, as long as the Shu army firmly strangles the watershed, the Wei army will inevitably be trapped in the Fugu Road, even if there are more men and horses.

As long as this Wei army can be completely annihilated and Cao Shuang captured or killed, the political situation of Wei will inevitably be in chaos, and the long-lost opportunity for the Northern Expedition will appear.

Jiang Wei's lifelong ambition is to inherit Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng's legacy, complete Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng's unfinished business, restore the Han family, and return to the old capital.

For this dream, he waited hard for eight years, but it was a pity that although Jiang Wanfei Yi, who was in power, was the heir designated by Zhuge Liang before his death, their strategic thinking was completely different from Zhuge Liang's, and they only knew how to guard this one-third of an acre of land in Shu and did not want to forge ahead.

Why did Zhuge Liang wave the Northern Expedition, could it be that he didn't like to stay in Chengdu with peace of mind, sit in a high position, enjoy the glory and wealth, why bother to sleep in the open air, and finally exhaust himself to death in Wuzhang Plain.

Because Zhuge Liang did this, there was a reason why he had to do it, the people of Shu were poor, and if they didn't want to forge ahead,; Trapped in a lonely place is equivalent to sitting and waiting for death, rising up and fighting, and there may be a glimmer of hope, but if you only know how to keep it, you can really only sit back and wait for destruction.

In recent years, the Shu army has not been fighting, on the surface, thriving, all kinds of waste are thriving, but Jiang Wei knows that this is just sitting in the well and watching the sky, Shu is recuperating, Wei is not it, not to mention that Wei has a vast territory and a large population, Shu has been restored by one percent, and Wei can be recovered by ten percent, and in the long run, the strength of the two sides will be more disparity, and Shu will lose the last chance.

Jiang Wei attaches great importance to this watershed battle, if the Shu army can win, it will completely change the pattern of confrontation between Wei and Shu, and Shu will also usher in the golden moment of the Northern Expedition, so Jiang Wei will eliminate all difficulties and dangers and go to the watershed to stop the Wei army.

"General, there is a watershed ahead." Ning Sui reminded Jiang Weidao.
