At this time, Zhang Song was also in the scene, and saw that everyone was talking and stalemate. I couldn't help but secretly say, the time has come for me to make meritorious contributions. So he stood up, saluted Zhao Yun, and said, "General, I have a plan to enter Hanzhong." ”

Zhang Song is not good-looking, although Liu Bei has repeatedly asked not to judge people by their appearance, so as not to lose Ziyu. But the habits that have been formed over thousands of years still cannot be avoided. Even in the new society thousands of years later, don't everyone shout that appearance is justice? Therefore, when Zhang Song entered Yizhou by Cao Cao, he ran away to Guanzhong, but he was never reused. This time it was also because he was going to attack Hanzhong, Zhao Yun formed the shogunate, and remembered Zhang Song, a native of Yizhou, so he let him in.

Zhao Yun heard Zhang Song's words, and couldn't help but move in his heart, and secretly said that this person might really have a way, so let's listen to it. So he smiled and said, "Ziqiao has any good strategies to teach me, please come quickly." ”

At this time, everyone's eyes also turned to Zhang Song. It was the first time that Zhang Song was watched by so many important ministers of the Han Dynasty, and he was a little excited in his heart. So he coughed lightly and said, "I know that there is still a way for Qinling to enter Hanzhong, but in the past, it was woodcutters, hunters, and medicine pickers. On weekdays, there are few people, and Cao Cao must not know. If the general is bluffing on the main road and secretly sending elite soldiers to take this road, Hanzhong can turn his palms and be sure. ”

Zhao Yun was overjoyed when he heard this. He knew what the lord Liu Bei meant, and he didn't think that he would go smoothly into Cheng and Du. Liu Bei sent him to attack Yizhou, just to keep him under strong military pressure on Yizhou here, and then so that Cao Cao would not have the energy to rescue Sun Ce. As long as Liu Bei is going well, after capturing Jiangdong, he will naturally turn around and deal with Cao Cao in Yizhou.

But if Cao Cao can't be distracted, he must attack Hanzhong. Otherwise, there is a natural danger in the Qinling Mountains, and Cao Cao can sit back and relax. Therefore, the battle of Hanzhong must not only be won, but also fast. It can't be delayed for too long and form a confrontation with the Cao army in Hanzhong. In this case, the strategic goal will not be achieved.

Now Zhang Song said that in addition to the paths such as Chencang Road and Meridian Road, there is a new route that no one has discovered, which makes Zhao Yun not ecstatic. As long as this is true, then the battle of Hanzhong will be safe.

The route that Zhang Song said was the later famous Fu Luo Road. Until the 21st century, the plane from Xi'an to Hanzhong flew along this route. This road, the earliest seen in history is still in the history of Cao Wei Zhengshi five years (244 AD), Cao Shuang led the army to attack Shu, from Chang'an to 670,000 people, from Luogu into the valley. Before that, it was not seen in history. Considering the records of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty rebuilding the Baoxian Plank Road and Wang Mang rebuilding the Meridian Plank Road in history, the discovery of Fu Luo Road is at least certain after the Western Han Dynasty. Here, let's buckle the discoverer on Zhang Song's head.

Of course, it's not that Zhang Song says anything, Zhao Yun believes anything. For such a major event, it is natural to be cautious. So the elite scouts of the Han army were dispatched. They were responsible for exploring the route and providing reference for Zhao Yun's next military operation.

At this time, Guan Hai, who was in Chang'an, heard the letter, so he also rushed over and said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, this matter is very important, I want to go to it in person." Guan Hai was disgraced by the dead soldiers under Cao Cao's command before, and he was angry in his heart, and when he fought back, he complained again, and the purge plan had to be abandoned halfway. Before he could vent the anger in his chest, he was extinguished by Liu Bei with a bucket of cold water.

Guan Hai also knew that he had mistaken the lord's big thing, and he was terrified. Guan Hai thought that he was just a reckless man in the rivers and lakes, but fortunately, he was respectful and polite to Zheng Xuan when he started the incident, so he was used by Liu Bei and was cited as his heart. As a result, he acted willfully, and after making a little achievement, he did not take the enemy seriously. This time, I really suffered a blood loss. was reprimanded by Liu Bei last time, and he also knew that this position was not suitable for him. But before he can make substitutions, he has to make up for it. To illustrate with facts, you are still useful. Otherwise, if he retreats with a stain, he will feel uneasy.

When Zhao Yun heard this, he immediately knew what Guan Hai meant. It's just that Guan Hai is an old minister around Liu Bei who is older than him, and who knows what the situation will be with the route Zhang Song said. Where did he dare to let Guan Hai take risks. What if this road has already been discovered by Cao Jun? What if this road is full of dangers? Don't care if Guan Hai is trained, but Guan Hai really has a mistake, and it will be himself who should be trained.

So Zhao Yun said: "For such a trivial matter, how can you use a general, manage your brother but supervise the formation in the rear, and you don't lose your identity." "What Zhao Yun said is also true, when they are in such a position, how can they take unnecessary risks.

No matter where he is willing to listen, he insists on going. Zhao Yun couldn't resist him, so he had to go with Guan Hai. Then he instructed Guan Hai to retreat first if he was in danger. Guan Hai laughed and said: "Why should Zilong be such a child, I am not a three-year-old child, so I can naturally save it." With that, Guan Hai led the scouts out of the camp.

This Fu Luo Road, the north end is called Luo Valley, from the right to help the wind to take martial arts to the south, and then over Taiyi Mountain. Taiyi Mountain is the main peak of the Qinling Mountains, in the "Book of Shang" is called the Dian Wu Mountain, to the Han Dynasty, because some people say that they saw the gods in the mountain, under the word of mouth, and do not know when to change the name of Taiyi Mountain. And it was not until the Book of Wei that Taiyi Mountain was renamed Taibai Mountain.

This Taiyi Mountain is the first peak of the Qinling Mountains, high and dangerous, strange rocks stand steeply, deep streams are heavy, and I don't know how many strange insects and beasts, strange flowers and plants there are. In such a sinister place, only the medicine picker dares to go in and explore the reality.

Guan Hai led people to follow the path into the mountain for only more than ten miles, and the mountain path was completely gone. And his 500 people sprinkled into this big mountain, but it was like drops of water dripping into a lake, and there was no wave. Fortunately, Guan Hai acted carefully, and before leaving, he recruited a dozen or so guides composed of woodcutters, hunters, and medicine pickers. Otherwise, in this vast and deep mountain, he really didn't dare to plunge into it like this.

After entering the Luo Valley, the guides took Guan Hai and his party and began their difficult march. They made a winding way along the valley, climbing four or five hills along the way. Then the guides pointed to the tall and majestic mountain in front of them and said to Guan Hai: "General, cross this mountain, and the next road will be easy to walk." ”

Finally arrived at Taiyi Mountain, where the river valley is vertical and horizontal, and the large and small tributaries have washed the mountain to pieces, if you want to find a safe and stable road out, you can only take the main ridge of Taiyi Mountain. Looking at the approach, if you want to climb to the top, you don't know how much effort it will take.

Eighty plates of large and small, winding mountain roads for nearly 100 miles, and then climbed to the top of Taiyi Peak. Guan Hai crossed his hands on his hips, panting in his mouth, and then looked around, only to see the peaks of the Qinling Mountains, like a sleeping dragon entrenched in this vast land, the mountains rose and fell, showing that the mountains and rivers were magnificent, and the scenery was picturesque. Guan Hai said in his heart, if Cao Cao finds out about such a dangerous and vicious place and raises troops to attack, it will be over. So as soon as his heart turned, he ordered the guide to bring a team of people back and report to Zhao Yun. Let Zhao Yun send soldiers and horses over, and choose a site and set up a pass between the mountains and mountains to prepare for the future.
