There are many thick iron chains in the cave, connected by gears, and soldiers are stationed at the end of the chain and the entrance of the cave, and it seems that there is an ear chamber at the entrance of the cave, which is specially used for soldiers to rest. All the soldiers are big guys, and they look like they are strong.

Wang Xu said: "Since half a year ago, my subordinates have planned with Weng Xu Haohan to build Jinwu Mountain into an iron wall and a stronghold for smooth transportation.

There are 100 big holes here, the iron chain can be directly beaten down the mountain, if the grain and grass ordnance are transported from the North Plains Road, it can be directly hoisted up, there are many trees in the mountain, the ordnance can be made of local materials, and the iron chain can also be hung down, and the soldiers are directly pulled away from the mountain, that is, it is made and transported.

Not only that, but this place can also prevent enemy attacks, outside is the narrow North Plains Road, if the enemy army appears in this place, facing the cliff, which is equivalent to a dozen zhang of iron wall thick wall, it is impossible to rush up, and we only need to throw stones below, we can completely destroy the enemy army. ”

Wang Xu took Liu Zhang to the entrance of the cave, the wind at the entrance of the cave was cold, Wang Xu's thin body was almost blown down, but he still insisted on holding on to the wall to the entrance of the cave and looked at the Beiyuan Road outside.

"Lord, Beiyuan Road is narrow, if you don't control Jinwu Mountain this time, your subordinates will never dare to let your lord take this road, if there is a large army to block the crossing, even if a million troops are in Beiyuan Road, they can only be wiped out.

But now this dangerous road has become our Yongdao, the Beiyuan Road is guarded by General Yang Huai and Liu Bi, and the tail end is our stronghold Jinwu Mountain, no one can enter the Beiyuan Road, even if it enters, it is a turtle in the urn.

In this way, the grain we transported from Hanzhong only needs to be defended at a distance of 200 miles from Qishan to the Beiyuan crossing, which greatly shortens the distance for our grain protection. The same is true for the delivery of ordnance. ”

"There's another benefit." Wang Xu pressed his chest. Liu Zhang looked at Wang Xu a little uncomfortable. Hurriedly led people back to a place where the wind was light.

"The structure of Jinwu Mountain and Tianshui County, Zhiji County and several other large counties is like a fan, Jinwu Mountain is just in the place where the fan falls, there is a stronghold here, the mountain has sufficient water sources, and food and ordnance are continuously sent in from the hole, even if the enemy army is a million troops. Don't think about breaking through.

We are invincible, and if we want to attack, we will attack every county in Tianshui, and the distance is about the same, that is to say, as long as we have the movement of the army, the Liang army must divide our troops to guard each county, otherwise there will inevitably be weak cities for us to attack.

We are firmly located in Jinwu Mountain, stretching to the entire Tianshui County, and we are at ease. And I believe that the Liang army is in Tianshui County. It will not consume us. ”

"Why?" Liu Zhang was puzzled: "Tianshui County is the place where the most clans in Yongliang are in addition to Guanzhong, the roots of the Jiang family and the Yang family are all here, and the Liang army relies on them, so it stands to reason that they should be able to afford it." ”

"Hah...... Ahem, lord, it is precisely because of the clan that the Liang army will not take long. ”

…………………………………………………………

Zhuge Liang led the army to the Beiyuan crossing, only to see that there was already the banner of the Sichuan army in front of him, showing blood in the wind, and in front of him, there were thousands of corpses of the Liang army.

"Military division, General Hu Ban was beheaded by the Sichuan army."

Zhuge Liang closed his eyes heavily, 20,000 Liang troops, thousands of killed in battle, nearly 10,000 surrendered, only 5,000 people escaped, the main general Hu Ban was killed in battle, compared to the first battle of Chen Cang, the Liang army lost a lot.

Is Liu Zhang giving himself a disadvantage?

A Sichuan rider galloped from afar, pulled the reins of the horse, the war horse neighed, and the knight shouted loudly: "Zhuge villager, my lord asked me to bring you a message, the Liang army won a small victory in Chencang, don't be complacent, these corpses of the Liang army are all for the warriors of Chencang Nanzhong, and they quickly took it back." Wash your head, take your head in the morning and evening, and drive. ”

The knight reined in and left, and Zhang Fei said angrily: "The kid is too rampant, watch me poke him 10,000 transparent holes." ”

"Come back." Zhuge Liang snorted coldly, took out the map of Tianshui and unfolded it, "Jinwu Mountain, Liu Zhang chose this place to be a big camp, is he already prepared?" Don't take Ji County, but choose a barren mountain, it's really unbelievable, is it really what Liu Zhang thinks? …… Let's go to Tianshui and have a look. ”

Zhuge Liang's army drove to Tianshui, the Tianshui clan was facing the Sichuan army's army, panicked, and then saw Zhuge Liang leading the army to come, and finally felt at ease, and went out of the city to greet warmly.

Zhuge Liang did not enter the city, and directly led thousands of elite soldiers, escorted by Zhao Yun, to investigate Jinwu Mountain.

After turning around outside Jinwu Mountain, shaking his head again and again, Zhao Yun said awe-inspiringly: "What doubts does Mr. have?" ”

Zhuge Liang shook the goose feather fan and pointed to Jinwu Mountain: "I dare to assert that the Sichuan army chose this place as a large camp, and it has been planned for a long time.

However, looking at the Sichuan army's defense of this mountain, the water is impassable, and this mountain is not famous in Tianshui, to choose this as a camp, not only to have insight and vision, but also to be familiar with the geography of Tianshui.

Liu Zhang, a Shu person, didn't come here last time he came to Tianshui, can he know that there is such a mountain suitable for a big camp? This person has insight, vision, good at arming, and is familiar with the geography of Tianshui, and there are masters in the Sichuan army.

I just don't know if this master, arranging troops and commanding the army, is just as powerful, if so, my army will be very difficult to break the Sichuan army. ”

"There are a few in the Sichuan army, the law is in Jingzhou, the Yueying girl has lost her wisdom, as far as the last general knows, there is also a prodigy Zhou Budo, now in Chengdu, is there still a capable person in the Sichuan army? Even if there is, it is definitely not an opponent of the military division. ”

"Zilong, you are the calmest general under the lord's command, you can't learn from General Guan's arrogance and General Zhang's recklessness."

"The last general will not dare." Zhao Yun hugged his sword and saluted, "The last general just thinks that this time and the Sichuan army are in the battle, we have the right time and place, and the chance of victory is greater. ”

"I hope so." Zhuge Liang glanced at Jin Wushan sadly, this time against Liu Zhang, Zhuge Liang came with the heart of victory.

Because of the battle between Hanzhong, he had already collided with Sima Hui and the patriarch Zhuge Ci once, and the family already had prejudices against themselves, and they had to prove that their strategy was correct.

As long as Liu Zhang is defeated, Liu Bei will be in Yongliang, hold the land of Sanqin, the fertile soil of Guanzhong, and then form an alliance with the Sichuan army and set up an eastward crusade, which is completely in line with the interests of the family.

As long as Liu Bei and Cao Cao compete, the Zhuge family and the Sima family can profit from it, which proves that their policy is correct.

And if he was defeated, as Sima Hui said at the beginning, he played with fire and set himself on fire, giving up the opportunity to severely damage Liu Zhang in the battle of Hanzhong, and let Liu Zhang, the butcher of the world, sit big.

He became a sinner for the ages of the family.

Zhuge Liang can't afford this crime, so this battle must be won.

Looking at the green reflection of Jinwu Mountain, it seemed that he had been hit in the head by the Sichuan army, so that Zhuge Liang could not be as optimistic as at the beginning, frowned, and secretly decided to carefully confront the Sichuan army and defeat the Sichuan army.

But things did not go as smoothly as Zhuge Liang expected, the Sichuan army occupied Jinwu Mountain, in a decisive offensive position, Zhuge Liang used a plan several times to let people mix into Jinwu Mountain, to come to the inside and outside, but Wang Xu saw through, embarrassed to turn back, and lost a lot of soldiers and horses.

Zhuge Liang heard a name for the first time, Wang Xu, only to know that there was such a person who was giving advice to Liu Zhang, and carefully checked Wang Xu's information, nothing special, the only thing was to be in the same division as Jia Xu, and he did not show any outstanding features in the Battle of Xiqiang.

But in this battle of Tianshui, Zhuge Liang tried Wang Xu's sharpness.

Wang Xu took Jinwu Mountain as the base and sent troops to attack Tianshui County, these counties were too many, and the Liang army could not divide the troops to defend them, and the Liang army repeatedly broke through, and every time the Sichuan army broke through a city, it was necessary to destroy the rich families hated by the wealthy people inside.

The whole Tianshui people were panicked, and the wealthy families in the county moved their families to Tianshui County to govern Ji County, and Ji County was suddenly overcrowded, the order was chaotic, and Zhuge Liang, who had to bow down to everything, was anxious.

After the loss of the wealthy family, Wang Xu began to attack the Liang army, the 300,000 troops of the Liang army, it is impossible to be stationed in Ji County, and the Sichuan army picks the small strongholds of the Liang army, Wangzhai, rangers, and patrols, and repeatedly sneaks up on the grain road.

After a month, Liang Jun could only be beaten passively.

"His baby's, I'm so angry that Zhang Fei is angry." Zhang Fei shouted, picked up a jar of wine and poured it violently, and wiped his mouth: "I just set up a sentry box outside Ayang County yesterday, and it will be gone this morning, these Sichuan barbarians are just a group of flies, specifically looking for seam eggs to bite, I can't stand it, military advisor, I will lead the army to rush to Jinwu Mountain and stab Liu Zhang 10,000 transparent holes." ”

Zhuge Liang didn't reply, he was also very annoyed, not only the Sichuan army, but also the wealthy families of Ji County, there were tens of thousands of people who moved in, although Ji County is a county governance, but the scale is not even comparable to Jiangzhou, there are so many people at once, order is a serious problem.

The most annoying thing is that those children of wealthy families have become refugees and still pick and choose, thinking that if they bring money, they should have a good place to live, but how can there be so many houses for them to live in, so they can only sleep on the streets.

Now those wealthy families are gone, and there are a few families, so they directly robbed the houses, making the people's grievances boiling, Liu Bei has always loved the people with benevolence and righteousness, and Zhuge Liang can't ignore it.

Dealing with civil disputes every day is more than dealing with military affairs.

In order to achieve the purpose of the surprise attack, the scale of the dispatch is not large, and there are not many Liang troops captured each time, but countless sorties have made the entire Liang army panic, as long as they break away from the large army, they may be rounded, and they may be killed by crossbows in the last field toilet.

"It's not the way to go." Zhuge Liang thought for a while: "Wang Xu is making our army tired and losing the hearts of the people, and the Sichuan army is resting and preparing to go in Jinwu Mountain. ”

"What are you going to do?" Zhao Yun asked.

Zhuge Liang frowned, couldn't make up his mind, called a Qiang soldier to surrender, and asked, "Is Wang Xu really seriously ill?" (To be continued.) )
