Chapter 453: Padang Trail
After Ju'an said that, he stood with his hands in his hands, complacent, thinking that he could fight a full house with a trick, but he didn't hear a trace of movement in the middle of the sound, Ju'an was stunned, could it be that my plan was too shocking, and I thundered them all?
However, when Ju An looked at everyone, he found that everyone's expressions were not like that at all, in addition to ridicule, ridicule, and disdain, there were also some sympathy and pity eyes.
Someone was muttering in a low voice: "I thought this brainless thing was open this time, but I didn't expect it...... Hehe, it's as stupid as ever. ”
Ju An's face turned white, it was difficult for him to understand, such a flawless plan became a stupid thing in the eyes of others, he looked at Zhong Hui helplessly, only to see that Zhong Hui also had a trace of ridicule on his lips, and he muttered: "Du Du ......"
Zhong Hui was also amused by his anxious IQ, smiled a little helplessly, sighed and said, "Hey, you......"
Ju'an's head was full of paste, but everyone was laughing, no one explained to him, Ju'an stood helplessly and pitifully, so anxious that his head was full of sweat.
However, Wei Qian was a little patient, and said with a smile: "General Ju, do you know how far the road is to Nanzhong?" ”
"Two thousand three hundred miles." Ju'an quickly said that this was much closer than Liu Yin's sneak attack on Longxi.
"Two thousand three hundred miles, calculated at the fastest marching speed, it is estimated that it will take about a month to reach Nanzhong. And our army's current grain and grass can last for a month at most, that is to say, our army will be exhausted as soon as it arrives in Nanzhong. The terrain in the south is steep and full of smoke miasma. There is no guide. Even the road was found. What's more, the reverse Shu Jianning is too guarded in the south of Huo Yijiu Town, and all the dangerous passes are heavily guarded, you say that our army goes to Nanzhong, there is no food and grass, and the other does not know geography, how to fight this battle? Not to mention capturing Liu Chan, do you know where Liu Chan is now? ”
Ju'an opened his mouth and slapped the back of his head. I'm not annoyed. It seems that others call him a "brainless general" is really not false at all, Ju An only saw the success of Liu Yin's sneak attack on Longxi, but he didn't know that the sneak attack combat conditions were very harsh, and in the case of ensuring that his own logistics supplies were not missing, he had to hope that the enemy was unprepared, and these two conditions were not available to the Wei army now, so how could he talk about a sneak attack on Nanzhong?
Wei Qian smiled and said: "Actually, Nanzhong is not undesirable, but it must be done under the condition that the overall situation of Yizhou has been decided." Zhong Dudu didn't want to take Nanzhong, but he didn't dare to do it for fear that the back road would be cut off. Liu Yintou took Longxi by skill, but Longxi was unprepared. Deng Zhengxi can be described as a lesson from the past. Doing strange things, that's what the puppet did. It is not the right way to march. General Sentence, I can't eat hot tofu in this hurry. ”
Everyone burst into laughter, laughing so hard that they couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
A shallow smile also appeared on the corner of Zhong Hui's mouth, and he waved his hand lightly, quieting everyone down, and said, "General Ju's strategy sounds a little ridiculous, but it still provides us with a new idea. After the loss of Hanzhong, it seems that our army is in a desperate situation, and there is a glimmer of life in the recapture of Hanzhong. But you must all know very well that the majestic danger of the Sword Pavilion and the steepness of Yang'an Pass are extremely difficult to overcome. Now Jiang Weibing is pointing at the Sword Pavilion, even if he can repel Jiang Wei and calmly march from the Sword Pavilion, Liu Yin is waiting for him at Yang'an Pass, these two passes, it is not easy to break through. ”
Sword Pavilion and Yang'an Pass used to be the roadblocks on the way forward of Zhonghui, and it took a lot of effort to take Yang'an Pass, relying on the rebellion of the Shu general Jiang Shu, and taking the Sword Pavilion relied on the dispute between Wu and Shu, without these external factors, it is indeed not easy to step on these two Xiongguan. Although the Sword Pavilion is still in the hands of the Wei army, if he gives full help, he may be able to defeat Jiang Wei. But this section of the road from Jiange to Yang'an Pass is known as the narrow land of Baishui, the mountains and dangerous valleys, desolate and remote, if Yang'an Pass cannot be taken, the 100,000 army is very likely to be trapped in the narrow land of Baishui, in a dilemma.
Hu Lie was a little discouraged and said, "Do we have to be trapped here and sit still?" ”
Zhong Hui smiled calmly and said: "Originally, Liu Yin had already taken Yang'an Pass, and Jiang Wei only needed to guard the south road and attack Liu Yin in the north and south, which was for the best plan. If so, our army will be in danger. But Jiang Wei took the Sword Pavilion at this time, like a painting snake, this is not Jiang Wei's unwisdom, he still wants to compete with Liu Yin, and there must be a gap between the brothers. This gives us an opportunity, Jiang Weixi goes to the Sword Pavilion, Brazil is empty, our army only needs to capture Brazil and take Xuanhan, and then we can open up the road to Xicheng Shangyong, and the supply of grain and grass is worry-free for the time being. ”
The road to Shangyong mentioned by Zhong Hui is called the Badong Trail, starting from Xuanhan, crossing Daba Mountain, passing through Xu Valley, and reaching Shangyong in Xicheng.
This road is famous in later generations, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty favored Yang Guifei alone, because Yang Guifei was fond of eating lychees, specially built a "highway" from Chang'an to Fuling, Sichuan, after the lychee of Fuling was picked, set off from Fuling with a stagecoach, go to Daxian (Xuanhan), Bazhong to Xixiang, and arrive at Chang'an through the Meridian Valley, it is said that it only took three days, "a ride on the red dust concubine smiled, no one knew that it was a lychee", and the lychee road was famous all over the world.
However, in the Han and Wei dynasties, this valley road was not only not called a "highway", but also the cliff road was dangerous, the forest was deep and dense, and the difficulty of the road was no less than that of the Yinping path. Originally, in the Han Dynasty, this road was a dangerous road from the northeast of Sichuan to Hanzhong, and there were occasional mountain people to pass, but in the Three Kingdoms era, Shangyong and other eastern three counties belonged to Cao Wei, and the two sides were in a state of hostility.
The reason why Zhong Hui knew about this Badong Trail was because Zhong Hui had stayed in Shangyong before, when the war between Wei and Shu had been stuck in the Guanlong area, and Zhong Hui had a whim, trying to open up a new route from Shangyong to Ba County. However, due to various reasons, the plan to march from the Patong Trail was shelved, and the main reason was that the road was too difficult, the logistical supply was difficult, and the risk of the march was too great.
Now that the Wei army in Shu is facing an extreme predicament, Zhong Hui thought of the Badong Trail, as long as this road can be dredged, the supply of grain and grass for the Wei army will be worry-free for the time being. However, if you want to get through this road, the first difficulty is that you must take the Brazilian County controlled by the Shu army, and Jiang Wei poured out to attack the Sword Pavilion, which undoubtedly created this opportunity for Zhong Hui.
