Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 829 Motianling

Cao Pi was in a hurry, Cao Zhen and Jiang Wei didn't want to seize Yizhou.His mother died of illness, and Jiang Wei returned to the barracks after only three days of filial piety, just to enter Sichuan as soon as possible.The road to Shu is difficult, and the sword pavilion is like a moat. Shu generals Zhang Yi and Ma Zhong stationed 2 troops here, blocking [-] Wei troops.

There are two edicts, one is more verbal than the other, and there is a strong sense of blame if you don't seize Sichuan and Shu. Jiang Wei is somewhat dissatisfied. Why did you force me to lose the Eastern Front?Occupying Hanzhong and expelling Zhuge Liang, he has already made great achievements, why is Cao Pi still not satisfied? Is it so easy to take the road to Shu?
Cao Pi forced Cao Zhen, Cao Zhen forced Jiang Wei, Jiang Wei was about to force his men. "You have been in Sichuan for many years, so you should be familiar with the road. Does it mean that there is no other road except the Jinniu Road?"

Deng Xian frowned: "Since ancient times, there has been Jinniu Road in the north of Sichuan, and Yong'an Road and waterways in the east. Other than that, they are all high mountains. How can a large army do it?"

"As long as there are people walking, there is a way! I don't believe that no one enters Sichuan and leaves Sichuan through other roads!"

"Actually, it's not that there is no road." Deng Xian hesitated, "There is an ancient road going south from Dangchang County, which can lead to Jiangyou in Zitong County. Because it is mainly in Yinping County, it is called Yinping Road. It's just that this road has long been deserted. Walking is covered by vegetation and it is difficult to find, and the road is steep and difficult..."

"There is nothing to be afraid of, as long as you have the way! As long as you reach Jiangyou, you will be flat!"

"Wait a minute, general. The most dangerous part of this road is not along the road, but in Yinping County. In the southeast of Wen County, there is a bridge named Yinping Bridge. This bridge is the only passage. Under the bridge is a deep valley. The head of the bridge is called Yulei. The danger is no less than Jiange, the army will be blocked here and there will be no way out..."

"Hiss~" Jiang Wei bared his teeth. Doesn't that mean that the army has become a turtle in the urn? "The only way? If I don't take the Yinping bridge, how about continuing to climb the mountain?"

"Hehe, the general joked that the people of Shu called this mountain Motian Ridge. The gate of hell! So it is also a land of no one. Not to mention the seven hundred li mountain road, how to supply food and grass for the army, if there are thousands of people on Motianling, all our troops will die without a place to die!"

"Isn't this a contradiction for you? If there is no man's land, how can there be soldiers from Shu?"

Jiang Wei made up his mind to see Cao Zhen.Cao Zhen was shocked when he heard that Jiang Wei was going to enter Shu from Yinping Road. Isn't this the way to kill himself?He was still hesitating when Cao Pi's third edict came.The Eastern Front was defeated again, Cao Zhen was under great pressure, Jiange couldn't make it through, so he had to adopt Jiang Wei's strategy.

In May of the 2th year of the Han Dynasty, Jiang Wei carefully selected [-] horses, carrying [-] days of rations, axes and sawing ropes, and Deng Xian, Zhang Te, and Li Fu as generals entered Yinping Road.

As Deng Xian said, Yinping Road has been abandoned for a long time and there is almost no way to go. Thousands of Wei troops took turns to open the road. The bridge fruit is guarded by soldiers, and Yulei Pass is at the head of the bridge. It is impossible to seize the bridge and attack key points, and it will only attract more Shu troops.

Jiang Wei ordered to abandon the Yinping Road and climb over the mountain to Motianling.Save money on food and expenses, and there is only one day's ration left after reaching Motianling.Jiang Wei ordered to rectify his clothes and armor for a short rest, and sent someone to inquire.

"Report. General, Motianling is guarded by the Shu army, and it looks like there are nearly 2000 people." After an hour, the spies reported back.

oops!There is even a Shu army here!Jiang Wei's head buzzed, and he raised his eyes to see that the 2000-foot Motian Ridge was ten thousand feet long, and no man could open it. Even if only a hundred or ten people could block thousands of troops, there were actually [-] people on the mountain. How should this be done?Night attack?Uh, just kidding, this is a steep cliff, you can't climb it in broad daylight, how can you climb it in the dark?
"Continue to rest!" Jiang Wei could only order like this, and he took Deng Xian and Li Fu to explore the terrain and find a way.

On Motian Ridge, two generals Huang Xi and Li Sheng have been stationed for more than a year since the battle of Jieting.In addition to scolding Zhuge Liang, the two of them scolded Zhuge Liang here.At this time, there were not 2000 people on the mountain, but [-]!One thousand of them were auxiliary soldiers who came to send military supplies.

"This month's military supplies are two days late." Li Sheng muttered.

"Hehe, it's good if you can come. Didn't you listen to what the captain of the army, Ma Zhen, said, Hanzhong fell, Jiang Wei's name shook Sichuan and Shu, Wei's army went south, Zhang Yi and Ma Zhong were stationed in Jiange, Jiangyou and even Zitong were in chaos."

"I don't know how Zhuge Liang is?" Li Sheng gloated, "Brother Huang was more cautious. He left manpower in Hanzhong to discover Ma Di's traces, and finally cut off this trouble. From now on, you and my brothers will have no worries."

"Oh, I thought we would be safe from now on. You and I can leave this place. If Hanzhong is lost, I'm afraid that no one will care about us here. I don't know when we will have to wait."

"Brother Huang, since no one is interested, why don't we leave this place and return to Chengdu?"

"It's easy to say. If no one cares about it, no one can think of changing defense for me. If we leave privately, Jiangyou ordered Ma Miao to let us go back to Chengdu? How can Fei Yi and Dong Yun spare us?"

The two were unhappy.

"Report to the two generals, the Wei army was found at the foot of the mountain!" No matter how careful the Wei army was, 2 horses could not escape the patrol post of the Shu army, so the leading lieutenant came to report. "Please order the general to prepare for the battle! Can I ask Ma Zhen to assist me?"

"No hurry, let's take a look first. Don't make a fuss, lest you disturb the morale of the army."

Huang Xi and Li Sheng lay down on the ridge and looked down. Sure enough, there were signs of people stationed in the forest.

"What do you think, brother Huang?" Li Sheng looked at Huang Xi meaningfully.

Huang Xi turned over and looked up at the sky. "Wei Jun arrived here, it seems that Zhuge Liang is in danger."

"If Zhuge Liang dies, can Yizhou still be kept? Even if you and I annihilate the incoming enemy, how long can we hold it?" Li Sheng provoked Huang Xi with words.

"Brother Li, what does this mean?"

"How many troops are there in Yizhou? It's less than [-], and the elite have already gone north. Zhang Yi and Ma Zhong will be defeated by Wei sooner or later in Jiange. Shouldn't you and I think about retreating?"

"Brother Li, you might as well say it clearly."

"I have a good location, it is not difficult to destroy this Wei army, but you and I will still stay here and suffer. Besides, this will offend him, and the Wei people will hate me to the bone. In the future, the Wei army will enter Sichuan, not only you and me, I'm afraid it may harm the tribe."

Having said that, how could Huang Xi not understand. "If you and I surrender, it will be a great achievement. Not only will you escape the sea of ​​suffering, but you will also be able to worship the general and become a marquis, right?"

"Exactly." Li Sheng laughed.

"What did the horse really say?"

"Most of the army is your confidantes, what are you afraid of him doing? You can send someone to lure him and take him down!"

"Okay! That's it!"

The two got up and called the school lieutenant: "Go and invite General Ma Zhen, just say that you have something important to discuss, don't talk too much!"
