Tian Zhang was confused, Zhong Hui said with a smile: "I just received the latest information from Shuzhong, the high-level of Shu has noticed the Yinping Trail, and the lieutenant Liu Yin suggested strengthening the defense of Jiangyou Fucheng and asked the imperial court to send troops to guard the Yinping Trail, although the anti-Shu puppet emperor Liu Chan did not send troops to the Yinping Trail, but Liu Yin's opinion has been adopted, and Jiangyou Fucheng and other places have been strictly guarded. ”

"How reliable is this information?" Tian Zhang had some doubts, after all, the two sides were now in a state of war, and the precautions were very strict, and a lot of intelligence needed to be screened.

"This information comes from the hand of the military academy captain Blue Bird, he is the number one spy of the Great Wei, and the credibility of the information transmitted is as high as more than ninety, and the Hanzhong defense map is his masterpiece. It is precisely because of the deployment map he passed back that we can take Hanzhong lightly, and this is the first merit of Hanzhong, which is none other than the blue bird. When it comes to the blue bird, Zhong Hui's face is full of appreciation.

Tian Zhang had a little regret on his face, and said: "It seems that the plan to sneak attack Yinping Xiaodao is no longer possible, and it will be difficult to destroy the Shu Kingdom in a short period of time." ”

Zhong Hui's face also had a strange and sinister smile. "Since Deng Ai wants to die, tomorrow will fulfill him. Tian Zhang, you take 2,000 men and horses, follow Deng Ai, wait for the opportunity to act, if Deng Ai is defeated by the Shu army, he can take his place. Zhong Hui moved the secret letter to the candle flame and watched the secret letter burn until it was ashes, and then Zhong Hui gently flicked the ashes on his hand. In addition, this secret report must not be known to Deng Ai, from now on, there will be no third person who knows the content of this information except you and me. ”

Tian Zhang suddenly realized and said: "The governor borrowed a knife to kill people, and it was really clever. ”

Zhong Huiyin smiled and said: "Since it is destined to be a road of no return, why not push the boat down the river?" This time, the governor led more than 100,000 people, if Deng Ai robbed the first credit, wouldn't it make the world laugh and break Jiang Wei's plan, the governor would already have it. After the completion of the Yin Ping Path, the Governor will implement it. ”

The next day, Zhong Hui summoned Deng Ai and the generals to discuss the matter. Zhong Hui fully agreed to Deng Ai's plan and gave high praise, but it was a bit unexpected by Deng Ai, although Zhong Hui's attitude yesterday and today were like two people, Deng Ai did not doubt him, and at the same time Zhong Hui proposed that Tian Zhang lead 2,000 soldiers and horses to be his backup, Deng Ai also agreed.

After the discussion was over, Deng Ai immediately got up to say goodbye, and quickly returned to Yinping Bridge.

In fact, Deng Ai's plan to smuggle into the Yinping Trail had already been formulated when he met Zhong Hui, and the preliminary preparations had been completed.

His son Deng Zhong said with some concern: "Zhong Hui promised to be so cheerful, what is wrong with this?" Father still needs to think carefully. ”

Deng Ai said with a smile: "There are extraordinary people first, and then there are extraordinary things, Zhong Hui regards me as a mediocre talent, and I am sure that I will not be able to take Chengdu, so I will take it for him." If I hadn't stumbled Jiang Wei in Hanzhong, I would have been where he would be today? When I take Chengdu, it is better than taking Hanzhong ten times. ”

So Deng Ai ascended the account, gathered in the account, and said: "A certain today led the troops to take advantage of the void from the Yinping Trail to take Chengdu, if it is successful, you are all immortal, but the mountain road is difficult and difficult, nine lives and a lifetime, you are willing to follow?" ”

The generals said in unison: "I am willing to obey the orders of the military governor, go to the soup and fight the fire, and never give up!" ”

Deng Ai nodded with satisfaction, these generals are all henchmen who have followed him to fight in Longxi for many years, although the mission is dangerous, no one flinched, which shows Deng Ai's rigor in governing the army. At that moment, he ordered Deng Zhong to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to open the road, not to wear armor, to be lightly armoured, to carry axes, chisels, knives and saws, to open roads in the mountains, and to build bridges in the water, so as to create convenient conditions for the follow-up army to march. The remaining 25,000 people, all of whom left behind their baggage and horses, all walked lightly, each carrying only their own weapons and dry food ropes, and went away on the peaceful path.

This is a road that has never been set foot before, cliffs, dangerous mountains and rivers, full of unknown dangers, but Deng Ai's heart is like a rock, even if there is no road, he has to step on a road out.

No matter who it is, no matter what it is, it can no longer stop Deng Ai's determination to move forward.

After setting off from Chengdu, Liu Yin immediately felt that the team's marching speed was slower than he expected, the last time he went to Hanzhong from Chengdu, dozens of people accompanied him, all on horseback, the speed was naturally much faster, but this march, although Liu Yin and others were still riding horses, but most of the troops were foot soldiers, but they could walk, and there were carts transporting grain, grass, firearms and ordnance, the speed was really not much faster than ox carts.

Although the physical fitness of these private soldiers is quite good, Liu Yin does not want to consume their precious physical strength and energy during the march, after all, after arriving in Jiangyou, they will be thrown into the real fierce battle, and it is completely necessary to fully maintain their physical strength now.

Liu Yin secretly calculated, originally planned to arrive in Jiangyou in ten days, but now it seems that this is almost an impossible task, at least three or two days of delay, but this should be within an acceptable range, even if Deng Ai set off at the same time, Yinping Trail is much more difficult than Shuzhong Avenue, he has to pay at least twice as long to arrive in Yinping, Liu Yin should still have enough time, don't worry about this.

In October, the weather is getting cooler, according to the climate of the north, it should be snow-covered in winter, but the climate in Shuzhong is still in late autumn, although it is cool, but there is no biting cold wind, but it does not bring much trouble to Liu Yin's march.

However, the further north you go, the higher the terrain and the cooler the weather becomes, especially in the morning and evening. Sleeping in the open is the most important test for this team. In order to hurry, there is no time to make a fire for cooking two meals a day, basically water and dry food, and the camp at night is also to build a few simple camp tents, because the march is in the territory of Shu, Liu Yin does not need to worry about being suddenly attacked by the enemy, although there are rotating sentries at night, but the vigilance intensity is not too high, and the camp is also very simple.

Fortunately, the loyalty of these private soldiers is relatively high, although the conditions are difficult, but everyone has no complaints, and they carry out Liu Yin's orders to the letter, which shows that Liu Yin's short-term high-intensity training in the past few days is still fruitful.

This also gave Liu Yin great confidence that only a team with high discipline and not afraid of hardships can fight a tough battle.

Out of Chengdu, through Mianzhu, through Fucheng, all the way to the long journey, seeing that Jiangyou Pass is not far away.
