Chapter 179: Zhuge Liang Decides the Central Policy of Pingping Guan!

Entering Hanzhong from the Ziwu Road in Chang'an Central, after entering the Ziwu Valley for [-] miles, proceeding southwest to Heiziping, after entering the Fengshui River Valley, crossing the Qinling Mountains, then turning southwest, crossing the upper reaches of the Xunhe River, passing Yaozhuling Arrive at Chihe Town, turn northwest to Shiquan County, go west to Yangxian County after going around the big bend of Huangjinxia, ​​and then enter Hanzhong.

Wei Yan's plan is to go to Ziwu Valley to ambush first.

"I lead [-] soldiers into the Ziwu Valley, and the Wei army will definitely not investigate. After I send troops from the Ziwu Valley, within ten days, Chang'an will be defeated! Your Majesty will lead an army from Xiegu to Chang'an for support. It can be decided in one battle.”

Only with Hanzhong can it be possible to separate Xichuan, without Hanzhong, Xichuan must not be defended.

The several roads from Hanzhong to Guanzhong are Chencang Road, Baoxie Road, Tangluo Road and Ziwu Road from west to east.

Chencang Road: Zhuge Liang led his army to besiege Chencang through Chencang Road in the second Northern Expedition. Because the Wei army held firm, the siege failed to break through the city for more than [-] days.

Later Zhuge Liang used tricks to lure the Wei army to attack, and set up an ambush to kill Wei general Wang Shuang.

Baoxie Road: also known as Xiegu Road, the south entrance is named Baogu, and the north entrance is named Xiegu, hence the name.

The Xiegu Road is a deep and dangerous valley with steep cliffs, making it extremely difficult to pass through. Many plank roads have been built in the past dynasties.

Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition, the self-unified army took the Qishan Road, and ordered Zhao Yun to lead a partial army out of Xiegu as a suspect.In the 12th year of Jianxing, Zhuge Liang led his army out of the Xiegu for the last Northern Expedition, and confronted the Wei army in Weishui.

During the Battle of Hanzhong, Cao Cao's army also marched from Xiegu.

Tangluo Road: Also known as Luogu Road, the south entrance is named Tanggu, and the north entrance is named Luogu, hence the name.Its road is the most twists and turns, and the march is not easy. Zhuge Liang never traveled in the Northern Expedition.

But later Zhonghui attacked Shu, and Luogu Road was one of his marching routes.

Ziwu Road: Also known as Ziwu Valley, it is the advancing route suggested by Wei Yan before the first Northern Expedition. It is the shortest in terms of distance, but the traffic conditions are not easy.

When Zhonghui attacked Shu, Ziwu Valley was also one of the routes to march.

Zhong Hui's attack on Shu was based on Xiegu Road, Luogu Road, and Ziwu Valley. It can only be said that Wei State sits on the land of the Central Plains.

"Is this plan feasible?"

Liu Bei fixed his gaze on Zhuge Liang.

"The risk of this plan is too great. If there is a risk, the whole game will be lost."

Seeing the displeasure on Wei Yan's face, Zhuge Liang said again: "It is very difficult to succeed in the strategy of directly attacking key points like Chief Wen. The march is difficult, not to mention the strong city. Support, how long can you hold on? It is easy for the Wei army to support from the east, but it is not easy for the Han army to support Guanzhong from Hanzhong."

Hearing this, Liu Bei was slightly moved, but Wei Yan didn't take it seriously.

"If you use the strategy of a military division, how should you attack Guanzhong?"

Zhuge Liang chuckled, not paying any attention to Wei Yan's offense.

The truth becomes clearer and clearer.

Kuang Weiyan didn't have any enmity with him, the argument with him just now was all about the lord's great plan to revive the Han Dynasty.

It is impossible for him, Zhuge Liang, to not even have this kind of mind.

"Nowadays there is not enough food and grass. For today's plan, we should first cultivate for a year or two. When Hanzhong and Nanzhong are successful in farming, His Royal Highness will gain a firm foothold in Jingzhou. At that time, there will be enough food and grass, and the soldiers will be ready to attack Guanzhong. opportunity!"

"In a year or two, is there still an opportunity for today's fighter? I think the military commander is afraid of the Wei army. His Highness led an army of [-] that day. When he went to Jingzhou, did the military advisor ever think that His Royal Highness would take down the Jingxiang nine counties? Bandit Cao is very powerful, and his army is not stronger than Guanzhong? His Royal Highness is short of soldiers and food, and he can take down the nine counties of Jingxiang and Hanzhong. How can there be no possibility of taking Guanzhong with our army stationed in Hanzhong?"

In the hall, many generals whispered to each other, and many people agreed with Wei Yan's opinion.

Lu Yi, the prefect of Hanzhong, got up and said, "How can it be possible to march and fight without taking some risks? General Wei Yan has both strategies and courage. Give it a try, and it will not be bad."

Deng Zhi, General of the Central Supervisory Army and Yang Wu also got up and said: "I agree with the strategy of literary talents."

"Humph!"

In the hall, a young general stood up, and he said: "Your Majesty, General Wei Yan's strategy is a dangerous strategy! Think about it carefully: I must take this risk to take Guanzhong down? Or do we have to take advantage of it?" Now that there is a civil turmoil in Wei, is there a chance to take down Guanzhong? Once today is over, Guanzhong will not be taken down?"

This young general is none other than Ma Di.

Ma Su has five brothers in total, and he is the youngest among the brothers.The Ma Di brothers are both talented and famous, and they are called "Ma's Wuchang".

Now, there is no such thing as a street pavilion, and Ma Su is now evaluated among the Han army as a handsome young man with a bright future.

Especially Zhuge Liang and his friendship.

Zhuge Liang's evaluation of him is four words: a genius in the world.

"This"

Everyone thought about it, and General Wang Ping also stood up.

"If the food and grass are really low, don't rush for a while, just wait for me to gain a firm foothold, Guanzhong is just around the corner!"

Liu Bei nodded slightly.

Just now, he was indeed in a hurry.

"If so, there is really no need to be so anxious."

Knowing the news of Cao Cao's death, and adding that he is not too young, he might meet his ancestor someday.

The sooner they can defeat Guanzhong, the sooner it will be.

but.
Although he, Liu Bei, was in a hurry, he still had at least some sense.

Don't lose all the great situation today because of your haste.

"Your Majesty."

Seeing that Liu Bei had been persuaded by Zhuge Liang, Wei Yan felt unwilling.

This is his chance to make meritorious deeds!

Now it slipped away right in front of his eyes?

Nope!

Wei Yan looked at Zhuge Liang and asked: "The military master didn't follow Wei's plan, how can the military master go to Guanzhong?"

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly, and said with a smile: "According to my plan, if you take it slowly, you will definitely be able to pass through the pass!"

He said slowly: "First command the army to take the Qishan Road to capture Longyou first, and then from west to east, condescendingly capture Guanzhong. And at the same time, march from Hanzhong to the north along the Xiegu Road and Chencang Road, forming a flanking attack on Guanzhong from the west and south. favorable situation."

Zhuge Liang's strategy is very clear, which is to find a way to gain a foothold in Longyou first, and then gradually encroach on the Guanzhong area, gradually consuming Wei's military power.

"At that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will help each other in Jingzhou, and the Kingdom of Wei will be invincible!"

Surprise raid!

Since it was a surprise attack, it was an unexpected strategy for the enemy.

It is difficult to implement strategies that the enemy cannot think of.

Chang'an is a strong city, with 5000 people, can you really take down Chang'an?
Even after taking Chang'an, can they really defend until the army comes to help?
Wei Yan's daring to do and speak out about Ziwu's strange plan is indeed commendable, but it is too difficult to implement it in practice.

"There will be plenty of food and grass in the coming year. General Wei Yan can be the vanguard of the Northern Expedition. Our army can win with integrity. Why take risks?"

As soon as Zhuge Liang finished speaking, Wei Yan had nothing to say.

He had no choice but to arch his hands and said, "The last general is the military division."

Sending troops from Meridian Road is naturally risky.

But he, Wei Yan, has the ability and confidence!

However, the military division still focuses on safety, so what can I do?
If His Highness is here, he will definitely follow my plan.

In Wei Yan's view, Liu Chan's ability to open up the situation in Jingzhou must be the same as him, with an adventurous spirit.

"The military strategy has been decided, everyone should disperse. As for Wen Zhang, you don't have to be discouraged. I hope you can find out the situation on Ziwu Road. In the future, it may not be impossible to use your plan."

"promise!"

Reassured by Liu Bei, Wei Yan really felt better.

Not bad!

Today the king is not accepting my plan, it is not yet time!
When the food and grass are sufficient, maybe I will use my plan.

There are many passes on Ziwu Road, such as Ziwu Pass, Yaoling Pass, Raofeng Pass, Huangjin Rong, etc., all of which are important defensive areas to guard important dangers.

During the 800-mile journey, there are more than [-] miles of mountain roads.

Moreover, many bridges on the old Meridian Road were damaged due to floods.

You have to figure out these situations first, and the raid in the future will be more likely to be successful!

Although the strategist's plan is safe, my Wei Yan's plan is the most direct and easiest way to win Guanzhong!
