Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 600: These terrifying words, thunder rolling from the sky——

Two more days passed.

In Micang Mountain, where dead branches are scattered all over, the three thousand soldiers led by Huang Zhong were crossing the mountains and rushing north as always.

Due to the dryness at the transition from winter to spring, during this rapid march, the skin of some soldiers had already begun to ulcerate and itch extremely. Some soldiers' skin was completely dry and cracked. Every soldier had ravaged cheeks. , it makes people feel terrible just looking at it!

However, these are not the most terrifying things. The most terrifying thing is that they don’t have much dry food with them.

In fact, this is nothing...

The most, most, most difficult thing is that they need to open up a road in the Micang Mountain where there is no mountain road... They not only have to move quickly by themselves, but also guide the army behind them.

but…

The tops of Bashan Mountain are connected to each other, and the tops of Micang Mountain are also connected to the mountains outside the mountain.

Obviously...according to what the captive guides said, it was only a dozen miles, but in fact, every mile was like a natural chasm.

Even these veterans of Huang Zhong, these elites who have experienced hundreds of battles in the Jingnan Mountains...

This Jingnan army seems to have military orders embedded in its bones...

They responded loudly and without hesitation!

Having said this, Huang Zhong raised his head and spoke firmly.

"Okay, okay, okay..."

But... there was no response.

He waved his hand and roared loudly: "Brothers, leave water and food for the fainted comrades... The rest continue to move forward..."

Even...the days when they were fighting against bandits in the mountains!

This soldier was young, as if... he was the son or younger brother of a veteran, but none of that mattered.

It seems that after seven days of rushing, two days of walking through the mountains, running day and night on this unfamiliar mountain road... even a veteran like the chief of logistics cannot bear it.

For a moment, Huang Zhong seemed to be in a trance, as if hesitating. He thought about asking the soldiers to slow down and take a breath.

"Little brother, little brother..." Huang Zhong helped him up and called to him quickly.

This…

He touched the logistics director's breath with his hand. He was not in a coma. He was clearly dead... exhausted.

After saying three good words in a row, Huang Zhong patted Yan Yan on the shoulder and said, "Your bones are pretty strong, aren't you? Can you still run?"

"I specially observed it, and they all followed it..." Yan Yan replied, "Light the smoke on time to confuse the Wei army and make them misjudge our position!"

Huang Zhong shouted loudly...

Yan Yan slapped her chest, "I can still run down three rice warehouse mountains..."

"General... he's already killed someone! Brothers, you must take a rest! Otherwise... you won't be able to climb this mountain, and I'm afraid you will be tired... and die here from exhaustion!"

Yan Yan was still hesitant, but Huang Zhong spoke again, but... he changed the topic, "The soldiers who were slowly marching behind the southern bank of the Han River were arranged before... I asked them to light up their cooking smoke. I ran in a hurry and didn't Pay too much attention to whether they follow it..."

What's important is that his face was as white as paper, as if... he didn't even have the strength to breathe.

"Here——"

But before the so-called "Commander of Logistics" of the emergency march could reach Huang Zhong, there was a "pop" sound, and the veteran fell to the ground, and blood overflowed from his mouth. Even the blood... was very dry.

"General..." Yan Yan was getting stronger. He ran over quickly. Although it was a seven-day rush, Yan Yan... looked tired, but he was not panting... as if his body was very strong and he could still bear it.

"Huh..." Yan Yan let out a long breath and said to Huang Zhong: "General, this mountain road is not easy to pass. Brothers have been traveling in a hurry for seven days... They are all exhausted... Could you please take a moment? Just a moment…”

"Keep running, over this mountain before tomorrow -"

How did Yan Yan know that the Jingnan Army under Huang Zhong used to be a majestic existence, and was the protagonist of the Changsha Army when Guan Gong fought against Changsha?

For a moment, he really couldn't understand... He didn't understand what was supporting the Jingnan army to move in such a hurry. At least... in his opinion, no one in the Shu army had such a profound understanding.

At this time, a veteran came running out of breath, and the veteran responded loudly, "I am the chief of logistics, I... I am the chief of logistics... ah..."

——"Slow down?" 』

"Chief of Logistics? Where is the Chief of Logistics?"

At this moment... I am already exhausted. The tone and high morale of Micangshan's heroic words "Little Micangshan" when I looked at it from a distance have disappeared without a trace.

Being so excited by Huang Zhong, it seemed like...all the slackness, hesitation, and hesitation suddenly disappeared.

——"Can you get up slowly?" 』

When Huang Zhongwei shocked Jingnan, Guan Yu had not yet executed Yan Liang and Wen Chou!

"Even if Xia Houyuan and his eight thousand soldiers are allowed to cross the Mian River even if it is only a quarter of an hour later, our army will not be able to attack halfway across the river. If we fight in the mountains...we will be outnumbered and outnumbered...by then...these All the fallen heroes? Didn’t they all die in vain?”

"what…"

Hearing the affirmative answer, Huang Zhong nodded heavily.

"Here——"

Another soldier fell, and fell in front of Huang Zhong... Huang Zhong, with quick eyes and quick hands, hugged him.

The young soldier seemed to hear nothing, and it seemed as if the person was running in front and the soul was chasing after him... After all, the soul failed to catch up with the person and got lost——

Yan Yan's expression was extremely complicated, with hesitation, helplessness, worry, despair...

But it was only for a moment, and soon...his confused eyes were once again replaced by a look of determination and determination.

"Bragging!" Huang Zhong stroked his beard.

Yan Yan was unconvinced, "How about we compete?"

Huang Zhong's eyes flashed. "Compared with each other -"

...

...

A puddle of water separates the flat land of Hanzhong Plain from the rolling mountains.

Xiahou Ba pointed to the mianshui in front of him and said to his father Xiahouyuan: "Dad... I have asked the guide. The mountain road is difficult. We have to cross the mianshui, climb to the top of Micang Mountain, and look down. It takes ten days!"

I heard what my son said...

Xia Houyuan waved his hand, "We need ten days, then Huang Zhong needs twenty days, haha, let the soldiers rest tonight, cross the Mianshui River tomorrow, and climb Micang Mountain..."

what…

Xiahou Ba was shocked when he heard his father's instructions. He quickly asked: "Dad... so... doesn't that mean you've been delayed for half a day?"

call…

Standing in front of the mighty Mianshui River and the majestic mountains, Xia Houyuan was slightly afraid... He finally looked up at the unreachable mountains, and then sighed: "Climbing this mountain is no joke, let the soldiers Taking the risk of climbing over the mountain is gambling with the lives of the soldiers... In addition, my father's Speed ​​Battalion is good at galloping on flat ground, but not good at climbing over mountains, so... before climbing over the mountain, you must recharge your batteries! Rest today, and climb tomorrow The same goes for climbing. If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools... Sharpening a knife is not a waste of time for chopping wood!"

Having said this, Xia Houyuan walked away directly...

On the contrary, the "impatient" Xiahou Ba who was impatient and wanted to climb over the mountains immediately stayed where he was.

When Xia Houyuan said this, his eldest son Xia Houheng heard some meaning.

He smiled and said to Xiahou Ba: "Second brother, don't panic... Go home in a hurry, but you must also divide your opponents. In the past, the opponents were the rebellions in the Western Region. It is urgent to put down the rebellions. If you wait a moment, there will be many dangers and variables. Therefore, our father The wind and lightning never stop, but this time..." At this point, Xia Houheng also raised his eyes to look at the mountain, "Our father is right, we all need to cross Mianshui and climb to the top of Micang Mountain. On the 10th, facing this Micang Mountain, our father will be intimidated. Huang Zhong...hehe, he has an old bone, and it is impossible to turn it over within 20 days! It is reasonable to take it slow and save more soldiers. Hit! These are all elite soldiers, and they are also veterans who followed our father. Our father...has no shortcomings. If we really want to talk about it, there are only two...one is too frugal and was used to being poor when he was young...the other is just... It’s too much about love and justice!”

After hearing what his elder brother said, Xiahou Ba let out a deep breath again with a "huh" sound. He had a vague premonition of something unknown, but he couldn't tell what it was specifically.

Involuntarily, Xiahou Ba also raised his head and looked at the mountains and the vast Mianshui River in the distance, and he comforted himself.

——"My father and elder brother may be right. Even if the Mian River is like this, what Huang Zhong has to cross is the Han River, this mountain...this water?" What can he do with his old bones? 』

at this time…

"Report..." A military order came from a messenger. He was holding a flying pigeon in one hand and hurried over. When he saw Xiahou Ba and Xia Houheng, he immediately knelt down on one knee.

"Reporting to the two major generals, Fei Ge brought news that the smoke from the Shu army was found on the south bank of the Han River. Judging from the density of the smoke, it was the stoves of three thousand people...Looking from a distance, there was a military flag with yellow characters erected! "

Well…

A stove for three thousand people? Yellow flag?

Undoubtedly, the news of this piece of news made the hanging stone in Xiahou Ba's heart suddenly fall to the ground.

"Hahahahaha..." Xia Houheng laughed heartily, "Second brother, look... what am I talking about? That old man Huang Zhong hasn't crossed the Han River yet, hahahaha... wait until he climbs over Micang Mountain. I’m afraid it will be ten days later!”

Having said this, Xia Houheng patted Xia Houba on the shoulder hard.

"Okay, second brother... let's go, let's have barbecue tonight!"

...

...

South of the Han River, the armies of Liu Bei and Fazheng are stationed here.

In the large tent of the Chinese army, a map was unfolded. Hanzhong was located in the center of the map. He marked three roads, Jinniu Road, Micang Road, and Li Road, to the south.

Speaking of which... the road does not have an official road, it is just a muddy dirt road, and even... it is not smooth so far!

According to legend, during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, this road was specially opened up so that Concubine Yang could eat fresh lychees... and it was even renamed "Lychee Road"!

The main road "Jinniu Road" starts from Chengdu and passes through Deyang, Mianyang, Zitong, Wulian, Jianmen, Zhaohua, Guangyuan and Mian counties.

The last Mi Cang Road goes over the mountains to Nanjiang...from Nanjiang to Hanzhong.

To the north of the map, there are five other roads marked, including Qishan Road from Baishuijiang Town through Chengxian County, Qishan Mountain to Tianshui;

Chencang Road from Baocheng to Baoji;

Baoxie Road from Hanzhong to Mei County, Tangluo Road from Hanzhong to Zhouzhi, and the famous "Ziwu Road" from Xixiang to Chang'an!

At this moment, Liu Bei's eyes flashed across the roads, his eyes colorful and blurry.

Nowadays, each of these criss-crossing roads deeply tugs at his heart, making him fascinated and immersed in the scene...

"Ugh…"

Finally, with a long sigh, Liu Bei's eyes still focused on the rice warehouse road.

Looking back at Fazheng, it seemed that... he understood what his "good friend" was thinking from this sigh. Fazheng said briefly, "As long as Hanzhong is captured, all the roads going north will be clear. Then... Whether you take the Qishan Road, the Baoxie Road, or the Tangluo Road... the whole game of chess will undoubtedly be alive!"

After hearing what Fazheng said, Liu Bei nodded heavily and said with emotion: "Yes, if the victory on the Xiangfan battlefield was due to his second brother who stabilized the game of Jingzhou, then it was Yunqi who captured and occupied Jiangdong. Completely helped the big man... open up three roads to the north, Xuzhou battlefield, Huainan battlefield, Wanxu battlefield... These are like three sharp blades! The entire Central Plains situation suddenly came alive! These are all the plans of relying on Yun Qi ,But…"

Having said this, Liu Bei paused for a moment, and then continued, "The more Guan Yunqi does, the more mediocre our corner of Bashu becomes... If we don't play this game of chess, regardless of the pressure that the second brother and his son will face, just... The world is going to poke me, Liu Bei, in the spine!"

pressure…

Not only the pressure brought by the external rebellion against Wei, Liu Bei also faced the pressure of public opinion, the pressure of ability, and the pressure of the great war situation between Jingzhou and Jiangdong.

Fortunately, Liu Bei is a man of "benevolence and virtue". If other princes...

Maybe he would be wary of someone with great achievements, and he would be wary of being in Bashu and not being able to control Jingzhou and Jiangdong. But Liu Bei was different. He and Guan Yu had a life-long friendship, and Guan Lin was Guan Yu's son. He would only silently bear this coming from him. The pressure from Jingzhou and Jiangdong will never be frightened by them.

This is also... Liu Bei has been defeated for so many years, but his soldiers are rarely separated. His personality charm is unique.

"Hanzhong will be captured..." Fazheng pondered deeply: "My lord, you should believe in General Huang, and even more trust in Guan Yunqi. At least so far, the situation of Hanzhong in the Northern Expedition is exactly as written in "Yunbie Zhuan"... not bad!"

As Fazheng said, "Yunbie Zhuan" tells how Liu Bei ventured across Micang Mountain, what he did, who he instigated, and when and where he went? When will we repel the invading enemy? When to seize Dingjun Mountain? Write down everything in detail...

And now the story... has reached the most critical moment. It depends on whether Huang Zhong's group can cross Micang Mountain and open up the mountain road for the army to move forward!

Phew... Listening to Fazheng's words, Liu Bei let out a long breath again. He said calmly, "I hope this "Yun Farewell" can really be as exciting and exhaustive as Third Brother's "God of War"!"

I just chanted this sentence...

"Report..." Zhao Yun hurriedly broke into the military tent. When he saw Liu Bei, he cupped his hands and said, "Lord, there are two urgent messages..."

"But where is Huang Hansheng?" Liu Bei asked impatiently, his eyes eager to see.

"One of them is..." Zhao Yun reported truthfully, "The soldiers who were laying the mountain road followed General Huang's team, but they found many Jingnan soldiers... who either fainted or died of exhaustion on the mountain road... According to a soldier Recall, when we climbed over the top of Micang Mountain, only 800 of the 3,000 soldiers brought by General Huang were left...the rest were retreating one after another..."

"what…"

Following Zhao Yun's words, Liu Bei and Fazheng exclaimed in unison.

Three thousand soldiers... crossed Micang Mountain, and only 800 were left?

This this…

For a moment, Liu Bei's eyes were blurred. He didn't understand. What was Huang Zhong doing? Three thousand soldiers...only 800 left? He was galloping like this, going in such a hurry? What is the purpose?

and many more…

Liu Bei suddenly realized something, "Isn't his mission the first to climb Micang Mountain? Zilong, you just said that he...climbed Micang Mountain? What do you mean?"

"It seems..." Zhao Yun's tone also became stumbling, "General Huang's purpose is not to stop Xia Houyuan at the top of the mountain, but... to go down the mountain and attack the enemy halfway across Mianshui River!"

This…

Zhao Yun's words once again shocked Liu Bei to the point that he couldn't breathe. Liu Bei's pupils widened, and he felt at a loss...He looked blankly to one side, towards Fazheng...

"filial piety..."

As soon as Liu Bei turned his head, Fazheng understood what he meant. He raised his finger to point to the location of Mianshui on the map and replied: "My lord, if General Huang succeeds in this plan... then it will be no different to Xia Houyuan." It’s the end of the world——”

"But..." Liu Bei felt that his whole body was trembling, trembling violently, "But... he climbed over Micang Mountain in three days? He also set up an ambush in Mianshui... How... is this possible?"

"My lord thinks it's impossible, so Xia Houyuan will definitely think it's impossible too..." Fazheng said firmly, "In this way... only then will the chance of victory appear, and only then will he side with General Huang..."

Fa Zheng's words were almost word for word...

This also made Liu Bei take a breath of cold air. After a brief hesitation, he quickly ordered, "Zilong, no wait, you immediately bring three thousand people to meet General Huang... Regardless of victory or defeat, nothing can happen to Huang Hansheng——"

Liu Bei said this firmly.

Zhao Yun knew that the stakes were very important, so he quickly handed over his hand, "Here..."

As he spoke, he turned around and ordered troops to go to Micang Mountain...

But just as he took a step, he suddenly thought of something. He turned around quickly and handed over his hand again, "My lord, there is another urgent message. It comes from... Guanyun Banner in Jingzhou!"

"Huh?" Liu Bei was stunned, "Yun Qi?"

"Yun Qi said that recently...he has made big moves in Luoyang..." Zhao Yunkan blurted out, "Not only did he want to destroy the entire flying ball army against the Wei Dynasty, but he also wanted to rescue the emperor from Luoyang City... After counting the days to send the letter, what he called The action should be on the first day of the new year in two days!"

This…

If Huang Zhong's plan to cross Micang Mountain, set up an ambush on Mianshui River, and attack halfway across the river had shocked Liu Bei, then... this time, Luoyang's big operation destroyed the entire flying ball army against the Wei Dynasty and drove the emperor from Luoyang City. Rescued, these... are more than just "surprised"...

These are frightening words like thunder from the sky——
