Although Zhang Song was executed, the situation of Cao Jun's pressure on the border would not change because of Zhang Song's death. Liu Zhang then appointed Zhang Ren as the general, Wu Yi, Leng Bao, Lei Tong, and Wu Lan as the deputy generals, and Huang Quan as the military adviser. , led an army of [-], and went to resist Cao Jun.

Liu Zhang heard that the number of Cao's army was not too large, and hoped that Zhang Ren and the others could take advantage of the dangers of Yizhou's mountains and rivers to drive out all the enemies who would commit crimes in the future.

After Zhang Ren took the order, he was afraid that Cao's army would conquer Jiange Pass. In that case, Yizhou would really have no danger to defend.Impatient Zhang Ren led his army in a hurry, and finally arrived at Jiange Pass before Cao Jun.

Jiange Pass originally had [-] defenders, plus Zhang Ren's reinforcements, and now the number of troops in the pass has reached [-].

The news reached the ears of General Cao Jun, Gao Shun, who couldn't help sighing.

Although he tried his best to speed up the march, the Yizhou mountain road was difficult to navigate, and Gao Shun finally arrived at Jiange Pass almost a day later than Zhang Ren.The local soldiers in Yizhou are used to marching on the mountain roads, and their speed can not be hindered by the mountains and forests, but Cao Jun, who is good at fighting on flat ground in the north, does not have that ability, even though almost all of the [-] soldiers are elite.

Although I captured Jiameng Pass with lightning speed, the number of defenders at Jiange Pass was three times that of Cao Jun. In addition, Jiange Pass itself was a dangerous pass, so it was impossible for me to conquer Jiange Pass with my own troops. possibility.

Regarding this, Sima Yi and Lu Xun, two of Cao Jun's top think tanks, were also frowning, and there was no good way to conquer Jiange.

After all, it was too difficult. Although Jiange Pass was not as tall as Hulao Pass, it was surrounded by mountains and the terrain was extremely steep. In terms of ease of defense and difficulty of attack, Jiange Pass was definitely higher than Hulao Pass. More than 4 defenders are nested in Jiange Pass, without twice the strength, they are absolutely impossible to attack by force.

But don't say twice, the strength in Gao Shun's hands is only one-third of the opponent's.

If you can't attack by force, you can only outwit it, but it is said that Zhang Ren, the current guard of Jiange Pass, is a famous general in Sichuan, with both wisdom and courage, and the military advisor Huang Quan is calm and resourceful.

Gao Shun was unavoidably a little worried. Could it be that he still underestimated the difficulty of attacking Yizhou?

But in any case, there is no room for retreat now, no matter how difficult it is, Yizhou must be captured!

"If it's not enough to attack Jiange by force, Yinping..."

Gao Shun remembered the deeds of Deng Ai stealing Yinping and destroying Shu in one fell swoop in history.

Deng Ai took only [-] soldiers, successfully passed Yinping, and then made a surprise attack all the way to Chengdu, scaring the empress Liu Chan to surrender immediately, thus cutting off the Shu Han's Guozuo in one fell swoop.Now that there are lessons learned, can I follow Deng Ai's example?

It's just that the Yinping trail is extremely dangerous and difficult to navigate, and even Zhang Song's topographical map of Western Shu did not clearly mark it.

Deng Ai mentioned to Zhong Hui that he had led his troops to steal Yinping. On the surface, Zhong Hui praised Deng Ai for "this plan is very clever", but as soon as Deng Ai left, he immediately told others that Deng Ai was a "mediocre", and his plan dismissive.It can be seen that the matter of stealing Yinping is so difficult that even Zhong Hui thinks it is impossible to realize.

Can I succeed in stealing Yinping? If I fail, I will ruin the soldiers' lives in vain, and I am very likely to perish in the Yinping trail.

Heh, when did I become so timid? Gao Shun let out a breath, and his gaze gradually became firm.Now he is the Great Han's Zhendong General, and he is also a world-famous general who is good at fighting!In terms of status, reputation, and ability, I am no worse than Deng Ai at the end of the Three Kingdoms period. How can I not be able to do what he can do?

What's more, the three thousand elite soldiers under him are definitely stronger than Deng Ai's three thousand soldiers.Deng Ai was able to lead [-] soldiers to sneak through Yinping and destroy Shu in one fell swoop, and he could do it with these [-] elite soldiers himself!

"Everyone, I have a plan..." Gao Shun told everyone his plan to steal Yinping.

"This plan is not good." Lu Xun was the first to express his opinion.

"Too dangerous." Sima Yi added.

The rest of the generals like Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Zhang He also shook their heads in disapproval.

"Yinping is dangerous, but Yizhou's [-] troops are gathered in Jiange. If I can't do it, how can I win Yizhou?" It is to stick to one's own opinion.

"Has the general ever thought about it? If someone sets up an ambush of about a thousand people in Yinping, it will be enough to wipe out the general's entire army." Lu Xun persuaded.

If you can't attack Yizhou this time, it's a big deal to make a comeback next time.Even if he failed to win Yizhou, he had the credit for conquering Hanzhong and Jiameng Pass. Thinking about it, Cao Cao would not criticize Gao Shun so much, so why risk his life to steal Yinping?

With Hanzhong and Jiamengguan, Cao Jun can attack Yizhou whenever he wants, but if his life is gone, he can't be resurrected.In Lu Xun's view, the sneak attack on Yinping was really a narrow escape, and it was unnecessary.
