Fenghou

Chapter 363 Talent
Before dawn, Wu Jie led the army to retreat to the southwest, leaving the commander Tian Sheng with a thousand soldiers to continue to defend the city to cover the retreat of the main force.

The Jin soldiers entered Hanzhong from the Ziwu Valley, and the loss of Raofeng Pass meant that Hanzhong fell, and there was no need to keep the Immortal Pass.

Wu Jie led [-] main forces to retreat in the direction of Xicheng County, that is, to enter Jinniu Road and guard Jianmen Pass.

And Liu Ziyu stated in the letter that he would lead [-] soldiers to retreat southward along Micang Road, and at the same time burn down the plank road on Micang Road, so as to cut off the Jin soldiers' attempt to go south to Bashu through Micang Road.

This decision is very wise. Fu Xuan once took the Micang Road to retreat south. He is very familiar with the Micang Road and cannot give him any chance.

In this way, the only way for the Jin soldiers to enter Shu is the Jinniu Road. As long as Xicheng County and Jianmen Pass are guarded, the Jin soldiers may not be able to enter Shu.

Two days later, Wanyan Wushu's army occupied Nanzheng County. Standing on the top of the city, he said to the generals in high spirits: "This time I am taking my family to the south to march, and I want to be the King of Shu and a native of Shu. I want to Be a ship lord, build a thousand warships, march down the river, and the end of the Song Dynasty is just around the corner!"

Wanyan Wushu turned back to the generals and said with a smile: "When the Great Song Dynasty is destroyed, I will be as rich and honored as all the generals!"

"Longevity bless us!"

Dozens of generals cheered together.

Early the next morning, Wanyan Helisa led an army of [-] from Nanxianrenguan to Nanzheng County. Micang Road enters Shu.

Wanyan Helisa led an army of [-] to attack Xicheng County within five days. If he could not attack within five days, he would divide his troops into two groups, one to continue to confront Xicheng County, and the other to enter Jinniu Road and march towards Jianmen Pass.

Bianliang Dujianjun Mansion, which was originally the residence of Prime Minister Cai Jing, is now changed to Jianjun Mansion, which is the residence of Wan Yanchang.

After returning from the embarrassing defeat in Xiangyang, Wan Yanchang kept a low profile during this period, basically not going to Guanzhong.

In fact, after Jingxiang's disastrous defeat, Wan Yanchang had already been eliminated from the Sichuan-Shanxi strategy, and he was no longer qualified to go to Guanzhong to judge the situation in Sichuan-Shanxi.

Wan Yanchang was in a low mood, but he did not give up pursuing Chen Qing. He sent letters to Qin Hui and Queen Mother Wei successively, requesting to prevent Chen Qing's army from returning to Sichuan and Shaanxi.

Wan Yanchang even hoped that Qin Hui could convict Chen Qing and deprive him of his military power.

Wan Yanchang saw clearly that Chen Qing had grown into a famous general like Wu Jie, and he was more strategic and discerning than Wu Jie, and he was better at using various advanced weapons, such as gunpowder and kerosene.

Chen Qing will inevitably become a huge stumbling block to the demise of the Jin Kingdom and the Song Dynasty.

Before, only Han Shizhong, Yue Fei and Wu Jie were the thorns in Jin Guo's eyes, but now there is another Chen Qing.

He had to kill Chen Qing before the Song Dynasty really realized his great value, just like the Song Dynasty killed Li Gang.

In the afternoon, Wan Yanchang received an urgent military report from the Jin Guoguan in Lin'an.

The content of the letter was revealed by Qin Hui, which really surprised Wan Yanchang. The emperor of the Song Dynasty ordered Chen Qing to lead the army to the northwest for support, and Chen Qing proposed a plan to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, attack Fengxiang and force Wanyan Wushu to retreat.

Wan Yanchang gasped, Chen Qing's knife was too precise, it was Jin Bing's biggest weakness, all the family members of the generals were in Fengxiang Mansion, this bastard's gaze was too vicious.

Wan Yanchang went to the map and took a closer look. Chen Qing sent troops from Baling. He must have taken Xiangyang Road to Shangzhou and entered Guanzhong. Of course, he might have entered Guanzhong via Ziwu Valley.

The Jin soldiers could no longer be mobilized, so they could only mobilize the Qi army to prevent Chen Qing's army from entering Guanzhong.

Wan Yanchang immediately ordered: "Prepare the carriage and go to the palace!"

He wants Liu Yu to send troops to Shangzhou, one is Wuguan and the other is Lantian Pass, two crucial passes. .

Chen Qing traveled swiftly all the way, and arrived in Baling County in only five days. He ordered Yang Yuanqing to lead [-] troops to transport supplies to Bashu by water, while he himself led [-] troops and [-] camels to the Xiangyang Road. Shangzhou.

At this time, Li Gang also sent an order, ordering Huguang Deputy Envoy Zhe Yanzhi to fully guarantee the logistics of Chen Qing's army.

There are two routes for Chen Qing to enter Guanzhong, one is the Shangzhou route, and the other is to take the Meridian Road, usually the Shangzhou route. The other is relatively close to Dengzhou and the logistics supply is convenient. This is the most convenient route.

Taking the Meridian Road is too detour, and the risk is extremely high. If you fail to conquer the Meridian Pass, you may not have food to return, and even if you conquer the Meridian Pass, there will be no food to support the nearly ten-day journey of the Meridian Pass.

This afternoon, Chen Qing led the army to Guanghua County. From here, the roads would diverge, either going west to Fangzhou or north to Dengzhou.

Chen Qing ordered the army to stay where they were and rest overnight.

Just as the camp was set up, a soldier came to report, "A man came from outside the camp, saying that he had an agreement with Dutong in Xiangyang."

Chen Qing thought for a while, and suddenly realized that Jiang Yan, who surrendered himself in Xiazhou, must have come first, and he quickly ordered: "Please come in!"

Not long after, Jiang Yanxian, who was wearing a cap and green clothes, walked in quickly. He bowed and saluted, "Jiang Yanxian came to join the Dutong as agreed, and I hope the Dutong will record it!"

Chen Qing was overjoyed, and hurriedly returned the courtesy: "It's my luck that Mr. is willing to help me. Come in, sit down and have a cup of hot tea!"

Chen Qing asked Jiang Yan to sit down in the tent first, and served hot tea to the soldiers.

Jiang Yan took a sip of tea first, and his body became much warmer. He smiled and said, "He knew that Dutong would definitely take Xiangyang Road to Guanzhong."

"Why?"

Jiang Yanxian smiled slightly and said: "If the imperial court wants to solve the crisis of Bashu, it can only rely on Dutong, and the best way for Dutong to solve the crisis is to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, and attack Fengxiang's lair of the Jin soldiers. You are not wrong about the humble position!"

Chen Qing admired secretly, it can be said that the hero sees the same thing, and he said: "Sir, it seems that you have news to tell me?"

Jiang Yanxian nodded, "When I came here, I got the news that the puppet Qi mobilized [-] troops from Guanzhong to gather in Shangzhou, and the enemy also knew that they were going to attack Guanzhong."

Chen Qing sighed in his heart, only Wanyan Nianhan, Wanyan Wushu, and Wanyanchang were the generals of Jin who could mobilize [-] puppet Qi troops. Wanyan Nianhan was on the front line of Yangzhou, and Wanyan Wushu was attacking Sichuan. It can only be Wan Yanchang, don't even think about it, it must be Qin Hui who revealed his attack target and attack route to Wan Yanchang.

The offensive route Chen Qing determined in Yushufang was to capture Shangzhou, establish a logistics base in Shangzhou, and then attack Guanzhong from Shangzhou.

But when Chen Qing was offering advice to the emperor, Qin Hui was by his side, how could he not be wary of Qin Hui?This is called soldiers never tire of deceit, he Chen Qinghui doesn't even understand this?

"Do you have any good advice, sir?"

Jiang Yanxian said with a smile: "The Danshui didn't freeze in Xiangyang, but it did freeze in Shangzhou. If the generals want to attack Wuguan, they can send a surprise soldier to enter Shangzhou along the ice surface of Danshui, and go directly around Go to the back of Wuguan, attack Wuguan from the front and back, and Wuguan will not be able to defend."

Chen Qing nodded, and he walked a few steps with his hands behind his back: "If I want to go to Ziwu Valley again, is there any way for me to solve the problem of food and grass?"
