Tianshui County, Jicheng.

In the dimly lit lobby of the state capital, Liu Bei sat on it, listening to Wu Ban's intelligence report with a solemn face.

The generals in the hall also had solemn faces, and there were many discussions in private, and a tense atmosphere circulated in the hall.

The intelligence claimed that Su Zhe had led an army of 200,000 from Yongxian County and entered the Longshan Mountains.

Su Zhe's intentions could not be more obvious, so naturally he wanted to kill them all, and he had to destroy his Han Kingdom.

"Although the Su thief only brought 200,000 soldiers and horses, it is still three times the size of our army, which should not be underestimated...... Zhao Yun muttered.

Liu Bei took a deep breath, swept his gaze to the civil and military forces, and said loudly: "The Su thief is finally approaching Liangzhou, this is our last territory, we must defend it, we have reached the point where there is no way back, if you have any clever plans to defend the palace, let me speak freely." ”

The generals were whispering again, and no one dared to stand up and speak out.

Liu Bei's gaze naturally looked at Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said lightly: "Although there are many mountain roads in Longshan, they are very rugged, only the street pavilion road is the flattest, and the street pavilion city is the general entrance of the five mountain roads. ”

Liu Bei immediately got up, came to the wall, looked up at the hanging map, and recalled in his mind the terrain he had seen with his own eyes after crossing Longshan several times.

When he pacified Liangzhou, he had walked back and forth on Longshan Road, retreated into Liangzhou this time, and walked again, passing through the street pavilion three times, and had a clear understanding of the terrain there.

The location of Jieting City is indeed located at the exit of Longshan, and only by taking this city can the Wei army calmly enter the Longxi Plain, otherwise, even if there are millions of people, they will be blocked in the mountain road and cannot play a role.

Sima Yi also took advantage of the situation and agreed: "Guarding the street pavilion is indeed equivalent to guarding Longshan, guarding Longshan, you can wait to defend Liangzhou, the key to this war is in the street pavilion." ”

Liu Bei didn't hesitate any longer, turned around vigorously, and said sharply: "The life and death of the Han Dynasty is in this street pavilion, pass the order, immediately raise the army, I want to go to the street pavilion to stop the Su thief!" ”

At that moment, Liu Bei guarded Jicheng with more than 1,000 people, supervised the transportation of grain and grass in the rear, and backed up the front line.

Liu Bei himself led Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Ma Chao, Zhang Fei, Pang De, Zhao Yun and other generals, 60,000 main forces, and went straight to Jieting City.

These 60,000 horses are almost all his belongings, and he is betting his life and death on this battle.

Jieting City is not far from Jicheng, and within two days, Liu Bei's army will arrive at Zhuanglang City west of Jieting.

The Han army, which was densely scattered in the Longshan Mountains, brought back the latest information, claiming that the Wei army had already walked half of the Jieting Road, and that it was at least a hundred and fifty miles away from Jieting City.

Zhuang Langcheng was not more than twenty miles away from the street pavilion, but the Wei army was one hundred and fifty miles, and Liu Bei had enough time for his soldiers to rest.

So, Liu Bei ordered Yu Zhuanglang to camp so that the soldiers could breathe.

At nightfall, Liu Bei summoned the military generals again in the imperial tent to discuss how to defend the street pavilion.

The opinions of the ministers were mostly to put the main force and heavy troops in the street pavilions, deep ditches and high fortifications, and imitate the model of Chang'an City to defend the Wei army.

After all, the fall of Chang'an City was not because of how strong the Wei army was or how strong the siege ability was, in the final analysis, it was just because they fell for Su Zhe's strategy and were outwitted by the Wei army.

They believed that this time, as long as the Wei army was prevented from digging tunnels, with their existing forces, it would be no problem to defend the street pavilion.

Liu Bei also nodded slightly, tending to stick to the street pavilion with the main force.

Even Zhuge Liang agreed with everyone's opinions and advocated sticking to the street pavilion with all his might.

"Your Majesty, are we too passive if we blindly stick to it like this?" Suddenly, Yang Fu sang coldly.

The tent was quiet when it was neutral, and everyone's eyes focused on Yang Fu.

"What does Yang Qing mean?" Liu Bei asked curiously.

Yang Fu said: "Your Majesty Jieting City has also seen it, although it has been urgently reinforced, after all, it is not as strong as Chang'an City, which has been operated for many years, and it is not yet known whether it can withstand the bombardment of the Wei Army's divine thunder artillery, or how long." What if it can't be stopped and is blasted by the Wei army? ”

Yang Fu asked rhetorically, and stopped Liu Bei.

"What Yang Fu said makes sense, the street pavilion is only a small city, if it is blown down, our 60,000 soldiers and horses must not let the 200,000 of the Su thieves be eaten alive." Zhang Fei also shouted.

For a while, the generals became uneasy again.

Liu Bei also frowned, and hurriedly asked, "What does Yang Qing mean?" ”

Yang Fu stood up, pointed to the map and said: "The minister thinks that His Majesty can send a general to lead more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard the street pavilion, but there are many banners in Zhuanglang City, bluffing and pretending to be the support of the street pavilion city, and then——"

Yang Fu's finger moved down the street pavilion, "Your Majesty will take advantage of the night to lead the main army south to Shangbang, from the city along the Weishui all the way to the east, through Longshan, you can bypass the main force of the Wei army, surprise attack Yongxian!" ”

Surprise attack on Yongxian!

Liu Bei's eyes lit up, he immediately jumped up, took a few steps to the screen, and looked up and down the map excitedly.

"As long as Your Majesty can take Yongxian, it is equivalent to cutting off the back road of the Wei army, and when the 200,000 Wei troops are locked in Longshan, the grain road is cut off, and it is strange if it does not collapse, Your Majesty will be able to annihilate the Wei army without much effort."

"And the Su thief has transferred most of his troops to Youhe, and there are only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses left in the Guanzhong area.

As soon as Yang Fu spoke, Liu Bei's eyes were golden and his blood was boiling, and his strong confidence burned in his chest again.

When the generals heard of this plan, they were so excited that they stood up and gathered around the map.

Zhuge Liang said: "Yang Yishan's strategy is not a clever plan, but the Su thief is unparalleled in his resourcefulness, and he may not be able to hide it from him." ”

When Liu Bei heard this, his excited expression suddenly dimmed again, and he couldn't help but look at Yang Fu.

Yang Fu smiled and said: "Prime Minister don't worry, the thief will never see through my plan." ”

"And where do you get your confidence?" Zhuge Liang asked rhetorically.

Yang Fu pointed to the map and said with a mysterious smile: "Because of this road, there is only one Weishui waterway, and both sides of the bank are cliffs, there is no way to go at all, since there is no road, why should the Su thieves be careful?" ”

Zhuge Liang looked shocked, looked at the map, and suddenly realized.

Measured by the distance on the map, in fact, from Shangbang along the Weishui eastward, the distance to Yongxian is much closer than from the street pavilion to the east and then turn back to the south to Yongxian, but since ancient times, but only heard of the street pavilion road, but never heard of the Shangbang road.

The reason is nothing more than the terrain.

Zhuge Liang is not a local, he only knows that there is no Shangbang Road, but he doesn't know why he doesn't, Yang Fu is a native of Liangzhou, and he naturally knows the local terrain well, even better than Ma Chao.

For a while, Liu Bei's eyes revealed their essence again.

At this moment, Zhang Fei suddenly jumped up and shouted: "I said Yang Fu, are you kidding, since the road from Shangbang through Longshan does not exist, then why did you ask Your Majesty to sneak attack, you let Your Majesty fly over?" ”
