Chapter 470

Jiameng Pass is named for its location in Jiameng County.

In the fifth year of King Shenliang of Zhou (that is, 316 BC), King Ba and King Shu had a feud.Therefore, King Qin Huiwen took the opportunity to send Sima, a famous general of the Qin State, to send troops to attack Shu, and had several fierce battles with the Bashu army outside Jiameng Pass, and suffered heavy losses at that time.

After Qin conquered Bashu, Jiameng County was set up to govern Zhaohua...

This Jiameng Pass is located on the main road of Qin and Shu, where the Jialing River and Bailong River converge, leading to Hanzhong on the land and Chengdu on the down.

Along the Jialing River, you can go directly to Langzhong, an important town in Brazil.

The peak is connected to Yulei (referring to Yulei Mountain, southwest of Wenchuan, Sichuan), and the ground is connected to Jincheng, with Jiameng on the front of Jiange, and Baishui on Jialing.

The ancients called Jiamengguan the hero of heaven.

After Liu Zhang's death, Hanzhong County responded immediately.Everyone knows that there will definitely be chaos in Bashu, and if this matter breaks the Jiameng Pass, the whole Bashu will collapse without attack.So Yan Pu urgently mobilized 20 troops from Wudu, Hanzhong, and 10 troops without difficulty, gathered at Jiameng Pass.

More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Bashu was in chaos as they expected.

But Jiameng Pass... still blocks their way.Wang Shang, the false prefect of Brazil, personally sat in Langzhong, and took Baishui Xiaowei Meng Da as the guard of Jiameng Pass to resist the fierce attack of the Hanzhong army.It has to be said that Meng Da's ability to defend the city is extraordinary!
The loss of soldiers and generals for several days in a row made Gan Ben Yanpu and others very distressed.

Jia Long was calmer. After all, he was old, and he had traveled more bridges than Yan Pu, Gan Ben and the two combined, so he could often hold his breath.

"Where's Shi Yuan?"

Jia Long was over sixty years old and asked suspiciously.

Strange to say, since that Chief Spang Tong has seldom been involved in military affairs since he arrived in the Invincible Army, most of the time he traveled with the local mountain people and seldom saw him.He also knew that Pang Tong had an unusual background, he was Dong Pi's confidant, so Jia Long didn't ask.

But the situation is different now. Pang Tong, as the commander of the Troubled Army, is now in a critical period of attacking Bashu. How could he not be in the army?
Not only Jia Long, but also Yan Pu, who was born under Dong Pi's family, was a little dissatisfied with Pang Tong!

On the contrary, Gan Ben didn't care. Hearing Jia Long's question, he said with a smile: "Pang Changshi may have some ideas. Since the second day when the news of Liu Zhang's death came, he left the barracks with fighters... Well, it's okay." Even if the days are not short, it must be two days to come back."

"Oh? What's Shi Yuan thinking?"

"He didn't say anything, but looking at him mysteriously, it seems that he has some clue."

Jia Long couldn't help snorting, and thought: This Jiameng Pass is a hero created by nature, it's not at all simpler than that Hangu Pass.How dare a brat say he has an idea?If so, since ancient times, Sima Cuo would not have been the only one who broke the Jiameng Pass.

To be honest, Jia Long still has a little disdain for Pang Tong.

After all, he was too young, and he even transferred his beloved disciple Zhang Ren away from the No Difficulty Army.At Jia Long's age, he always hopes to have someone close to him by his side.There is no doubt that Zhang Ren is his closest person, and Pang Tong is the chief culprit who drove Zhang Ren away.

At this moment, a soldier came to report outside the door: "Master Chang Shi is back!"

After not seeing him for a month, Pang Tong looked very embarrassed.

The ragged clothes may be a bit exaggerated, but that look really makes people laugh.

Her hair was messed up, and her clothes were torn in several places.One foot is a boot, the other foot is waiting for a straw sandal, just like a beggar.

As soon as he entered the big tent, Gan Ben couldn't help laughing.

"Shiyuan, what are you doing here? Why do you look like this?"

Although Pang Tong was exhausted, his spirit was very excited.

He sat down, and a soldier brought white water from the night. After he gulped it down, he wiped his mouth and took a deep breath.

"Old general, how should I enter Shu!"

When Jia Long and the others heard this, they couldn't help getting up at the same time, "Shi Yuan, do you have a way to break through the Jiameng Pass?"

Pang Tong smiled and shook his head and said, "I have no choice but to break Jiameng Pass. I mean, I know how to break into Bashu and take Chengdu."

Jia Long frowned, and said patiently, "Then tell me."

It's no wonder he has such an expression, since ancient times, the road to Sichuan, if you don't go through Jiameng Pass, where else can you go?
Pang Tong took a breath, ignored Jia Long's unhappy expression, stood up and said, "Come on, bring me the map!"

A soldier walked in with a map made of tanned cowhide and hung it in the large tent of the Chinese army.Immediately afterwards, fighters stood at the door of the big tent, preventing idlers from approaching.Seeing this posture, both Yan Pu and Gan Ben couldn't help asking: "What kind of tricks does this ugly ghost want to do?"
Pang Tong didn't speak, but dipped a hard pen in ink and drew a line on the map.

This line does not go from Jiameng Pass to Bashu, but bypasses Yinping Road and exits Hanzhong Deyang Pavilion, then goes straight to Chengdu, bypasses Jiameng Pass and Zitong, and arrives at Jiangyou, an important town in Guanghan.

Jia Long and the others couldn't help but gasp.

Pang De said: "We don't go through Jiameng Pass, we bypass Dajian Pass and go deep into the mountains, pass Mage Mountain, and enter Guanghan. I have asked many local mountain people for more than half a year. Passing this way, we can go straight to Jiangyou .Jiangyou is an important town in Bashu. Now that the two Lius are fighting, I'm afraid they won't be stationed here. We occupied Jiangyou and took an elite to attack Fu County, creating a pincer attack on Chengdu.

The garrison in Zitong and Langzhong will definitely go to the rescue.

When the time comes, the guards at Jiameng Pass will be empty. If the old general leads his troops to attack, Jiameng Pass will be broken.I wait for two flanking attacks, then Brazil will fall into my hands, and Chengdu will never be broken..."

Jia Long frowned.

"The Yinping path is full of high mountains and steep mountains. If the Shu army guards the dangerous point with more than a hundred people, the army entering Shu will be cut off from the way back. I'm afraid..."

"But the question is, who will pay attention to this place?"

Jia Long is the person who knows the Bashu mountains and rivers best. He shook his head lightly, "It's too dangerous, too dangerous..."

"Old general, since ancient times, there is no reason why marching and fighting are not dangerous? Wang Shang is steady, and Meng Da is full of tricks. Under a strong attack, our army will inevitably suffer heavy losses. Moreover, it will take a lot of time. If Shuzhong is stabilized , the good opportunity will pass away.”

"you……"

Yan Pu wanted to speak, but was stopped by Gan Ben.

"In my opinion, Shi Yuan's plan is feasible."

He pondered for a moment, got up and said: "I would like to lead thirty thousand troops without difficulty, and take the Yinping path into Shuzhong. What Shi Yuan said is true, the opportunity to fight is fleeting... It is not impossible to take risks now. Old general, you What do you think?"

"Since you are willing to speak, you might as well try. Master Yan and I are here to pretend to attack Jiameng Pass to attract attention for you."

Pang Tong said, "I would like to go with General Gan."

"This one……"

"I came up with the idea, and I've been familiar with this route. I can lead three thousand soldiers and horses, and only bring axes and chisels, and open the way ahead. General Gan can set up a battalion every hundred miles. The beginning and the end can be echoed, so as not to encounter an ambush."

Seeing that Pang Tong was full of confidence, everyone wanted to stop him, but they couldn't find a reason.

"In addition, you need to pay more attention when marching. I have ordered people to wear straw sandals to facilitate walking in the mountains. I can order Wang Rong Huo Jun to assist me and leave in three days. General Gan will lead his own troops and set off three days after I leave. I don’t know if you guys think it’s feasible to count this plan?”

Jia Long was somewhat in favor of Pang Tong's courage.

"Since Shi Yuan has the courage, I will follow you. After you enter Shuzhong, you can take my letter and spread Du Wei to Qianwei. These two people are my old friends in Qianwei, and they are quite dissatisfied with the Liu family. I believe the two of them can be of great help to you."

Pang Tong and Gan Ben took orders and left immediately.

******
Three days later, Huo Jun Wang Rong was ordered to arrive, and together with Pang Tong, he led three thousand soldiers and horses to set off first.

These 3000 people don't wear armor, but only carry axes and chisels.Open the road in the mountains and build bridges in the water so that the rear army can move forward.Three days later, Gan Ben personally led [-] people from Huben and embarked on the journey.At the same time, Jia Long and Yan Pu launched a fierce attack in front of Jiameng Pass.

There was a three-day journey between Gan Ben and Pang Tong.

But because Pang Tong and others needed to open the road, they moved slowly.After entering the mountain, there is no road at all.Relying on the guidance of local mountain people and carrying a compass, there is no need to worry about getting lost.Every fifty miles, a camp is set up.For the army to rest.

After traveling like this for 20 days, they only advanced more than [-] miles.

However, there is no trace of human habitation on the [-]-mile mountain road... In the vast mountains, a road was forcibly carved out, and Pang Tong became extremely haggard.

The soldiers around him are gradually decreasing.

One day, when Pang Tong stopped on a mountain collar to gather his men and horses, there were only a thousand soldiers left among the three thousand soldiers.

Leading fifty fighters, Wang Rong, who was exploring the way ahead, suddenly turned around.He looked flustered, with an inexplicable loss on his face.

"General Wang, why are you back?"

"Chang Shi, there is no way ahead..."

"What do you mean?"

Wang Rong wept sadly, "After passing this mountain, there are all cliffs and cliffs, which cannot be excavated. The guide said that there is no more road here."

"nonsense!"

Pang Tong was furious when he heard this. If he stopped here, it would be a waste of all previous efforts.In this barren mountain, if the soldiers lose hope, there will definitely be chaos.What's more, Gan Ben's army will follow up. If they can't find a way, it will be a waste of effort.

He and Huo Jun walked forward with Wang Rong, but saw a steep downhill road in front of them, all composed of slippery rocks, and it was impossible to stand on it.

Pang Tong asked the guide, "What's the name of this place?"

The guide replied: "The name of this place is Mage Mountain. If you go down the mountain from here, you can see Jiangyou after a day of walking."

Pang Tong looked at the steep mountain, pondered for a while, ordered someone to wrap himself in rattan armor, put on a felt shirt, and shouted sharply: "We have marched for more than seven hundred miles, and we have experienced many dangers. Many brothers died on the way... Now, the past Once we get here, we are Jiangyou, and we are following the order of heaven to seek rebellion. If God wants us to succeed, even mountains of swords and seas of fire will not be able to stop us. I would like to be the first to go down, who will come with me?"

Huo Jun said loudly: "Chang Shi, I am willing to follow!"

"If you don't enter the tiger's lair, how can you get a tiger cub, and make contributions, right now!"

As Pang Tong spoke, he jumped up and rolled down the hillside.The protruding rocks hit his body black and blue.

But at this time, he was silent.

Pang Tong took the lead, followed by Huo Jun.When the rest of the soldiers saw it, they cheered up immediately, and those with rattan armor rolled down the mountain, while those without armor tied their waists with ropes and walked in a single file.Of course, hundreds of people were lost along the way, but it was finally over.

Pang Tong ordered Gan Ben to be notified, and marched quickly.

Together with Wang Rong and Huo Jun, he felt that the speed of soldiers was so valuable that they could not stay at the foot of this mountain for long.The longer you stay, the more dangerous you will be.

So the leading soldiers marched all night and rushed to Jiangyou.

--------

The state of the past two days is really bad!
