The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 504
Soon, a team of messengers left Linzi on horseback, passed through Jizhou, Bingzhou, Beidi, and Liangzhou, and went straight to Nanzheng, the capital of Hanzhong.

"Urgent letter from Linzi, Your Majesty ordered us to seek Yizhou."

Huang Zhong knelt and sat in the main seat, Zhuge Liang sat in the first place on the left, followed by a group of Chinese and Chinese officials, and the first place on the right was not the newly appointed deputy general Qu Yi, but the general Guan Hai.

Although Qu Yi is brave and has great military exploits, he is still a bit worse than Guan Hai. Guan Hai, like Sui Yuanjin who fought to the end in Jingyang, is Liu Bei's starting general and loyal, far from a descendant general like Qu Yi. comparable.

As one of the lieutenants of Huang Zhong's army, Qu Yi sat in Guan Hai's hands, followed by Jiang Shi, Yang Ren and other generals.

Now the civil and military forces in Hanzhong are sitting together to discuss the matter of capturing Yizhou. The general Huang Zhong is the leader, Zhuge Liang is the military adviser, and Guan Hai and Qu Yi are the deputy generals of the army. They will be the main personnel in the capture of Yizhou.

"General, although Yizhou is in chaos now, Jiameng Pass is still well-defended. After that, there are many barriers, and Cao Cao and Sun Quan are lying on their sides. We have few soldiers and few generals. How can we win?" , Yang Ren followed Zhang Lushi, fought against Yizhou all the year round, and knew Yizhou very well. With the current situation, he has no confidence in capturing Yizhou.

"General, the soldiers and horses in Hanzhong have just ceased fighting. The soldiers are exhausted, their armor is insufficient, and there are strong enemies nearby. There are only one or two soldiers available." Some civil servants also raised objections. Now they are really unable to attack Yizhou.

"General, did your Majesty send reinforcements?" Qu Yi did not see the letter from Linzi, but in his opinion, since Liu Bei asked them to attack Yizhou, they must be fully prepared.

"No." Huang Zhong said affirmatively, "Hanzhong is too far away, and the legions from all walks of life have gone through great battles, so it is difficult to come to help. We can only rely on Hanzhong soldiers and horses."

"It is reported that Liu Zhang is dissatisfied with the attack on Hanzhong. General Yan Yan of Yizhou was ordered by Liu Zhang to stay at Jiameng Pass, general Deng Zhi guards Yangping Pass, and general Meng Da guards Baishui Pass." [-] horses, [-] soldiers and horses from Yizhou at Yangping Pass, [-] soldiers and horses from Yizhou at Baishui Pass.”

"These three passes are all dangerous passes in the world. They are easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is really difficult to break through with our soldiers and horses." Qu Yi shook his head, not expecting much to enter Yizhou.

"It's more than that." Guan Hai continued helplessly: "Although Liu Zhang transferred Yizhou elites to Wuyang, Chengdu and other places to stop Sun Quan, he was also guarding against us. There are also heavy troops defending, with Zitong and Guanghan on the Jiange Road in Chengdu also defending with soldiers and horses from Yizhou, so it is difficult to attack."

Guan Hai's words made everyone silent. To enter Yizhou, one must break through Jiameng Pass or Yangping Pass, and then Baishui Pass. After Baishui Pass, there is the Heavenly Danger Sword Pavilion. Only after breaking through these several dangerous passes can the defense of Yizhou be considered broken.

Jiameng Pass and Yangping Pass also said that if one is defeated, the other will be useless, and the road to Yizhou will be opened. As for the Baishui Pass and Jiange Pass after that, it is the only way to go, and there is no choice.

Needless to say, Jiange is the most dangerous pass in the world. The saying that one man is the pass and ten thousand men cannot open it refers to Jiange, which is such a powerful pass, and even Jiange, even Jiameng Pass, Yangping Pass, and Baishui Pass, are difficult for them to pass. capture.

"The emperor's order is to attack Yizhou!" Huang Zhong said, since the emperor ordered to attack Yizhou, he must send troops. As for whether it can be defeated, it is another matter.

"Now Hanzhong has [-] troops ready to fight. The general decided that [-] will guard the San Pass to guard against Cao Chun who is outside the San Pass, [-] will stay in Nanzheng to keep the rear safe, and the remaining [-] troops will attack Jiameng Pass. "Huang Zhong made the final decision.

"The man who commanded the army." Huang Zhong paused for a while, looked at the generals below, and then said: "Cao Chun's [-] soldiers and horses are spying on Hanzhong outside Sanguan. Don't miss Sanguan. There will be labor here. General Qu Yi guards."

"promise!"

Qu Yi didn't say anything, stood up and obeyed orders, defending Sanguan was not an easy task, Cao Chun was already a famous general in the world, Cao Cao's confidant general, and the [-] Cao army was also an elite, it was not an easy task to stop Cao Chun.

"As for Nanzheng, there is General Lao Guanhai staying behind to ensure the safety of the rear." Huang Zhong designated the remaining general as Guan Hai, which was not unexpected.

"promise!"

Guan Hai got up and obeyed, he knew how important Nan Zheng was, and he didn't feel relieved to give it to others. Looking at the people sitting here, Huang Zhong would definitely go to the army, and Qu Yi was an outsider, so his qualifications and prestige didn't matter to Hai Gao. As for the others A general is not qualified to sit in Nanzheng at all.

"Thank you for your military division to go out with the army."

Then Huang Zhong finished arranging the defense generals in various important places, and looked at Zhuge Liang who had been silent all the time.

"Dare to obey."

Zhuge Liang bowed slightly to respond.

"All the generals go to prepare, and the army will go out in three days!"

The overall situation has been decided, and the 20 soldiers and horses conquering Yizhou this time can be described as very difficult. Now Yizhou seems to be besieged on all sides, and wars are everywhere, but the emaciated camels are bigger than horses. Not to mention the nearly [-] Yizhou soldiers and horses around Chengdu, just Jiameng There are as many as five dangerous passes along the way to Chengdu, all of which are heavily defended.

Huang Zhong's [-] soldiers and horses want to invade Yizhou, which is simply a dream. Many people are not optimistic about this conquest of Yizhou. With [-] soldiers and horses, I am afraid that even Jiameng Pass will be difficult to break through.

After everyone left, Huang Zhong turned his head to look at the calm Zhuge Liang and said: "Sir, Your Majesty sent someone to send a letter, not an imperial edict, but to let us choose freely. Whether to attack or not is up to us. Now There are only [-] troops in Hanzhong, and we still need to guard against Cao Cao. With our weak soldiers, how can we break through the natural dangers of Yizhou?"

Originally, Huang Zhong had to consider whether to attack Yizhou or not, but Zhuge Liang directly asked Huang Zhong to go out. Although Zhuge Liang was not the commander of the army, he was the leader of Chinese and Chinese officials and a disciple of Chen Ziming. Liu Bei trusted him even more, and Zhuge Liang As a military adviser again, Huang Zhong also had to pay attention to Zhuge Liang's opinion.

Huang Zhong still remembered that just after he received Liu Bei's urgent letter, he called Zhuge Liang to discuss it. Zhuge Liang confidently asked Huang Zhong to send troops to Yizhou. Have to consider how to break through several major levels.

"Hehe, don't be in a hurry, general." Zhuge Liang said with a smile all over his face: "The messenger sent the emperor's edict, and also sent Mr. Ziming's ingenious plan to destroy Yizhou, and it will be easy."

It turned out that the messenger not only delivered letters to Huang Zhong, but also sent Zhuge Liang a letter from Chen Ziming. This is where Zhuge Liang's confidence lies.

"Oh." Huang Zhong was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "The prime minister has a clever plan to defeat the enemy, and you can hide your pain from me, sir."

"It's not intentional to hide the general, it's just that I just realized the magic of it." Zhuge Liang didn't like Huang Zhong's company.

"Don't talk about other things, what's the trick?" Huang Zhong didn't care about these things. What he cared about was how to defeat the enemy. With the few troops in his hands, let alone attacking Yizhou, even the Jiameng Pass in front of him would be difficult to take.
