The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 230

Two days later, everything was ready. The 25 soldiers were all Yuan Jun's elite, strong men between the ages of [-] and [-]. They were strong, with ruddy or dark faces, and they could bear hardships at first glance.Among them were [-] well-trained special forces soldiers, including Pei Bao, who climbed rocks like walking on flat ground.

Every 20 people have thirty feet of rope, wrapped around their waists in turn; a sharp axe, shiny and extremely sharp; no armor, but each has a baby helmet; fifty long chisels ten feet long, with pointed heads and round heads, Resembling bee needles; pot helmets, water bags, flags, and felt blankets are all carried on the back.Whoever loses it will be unlucky, starve to death, thirst to death, and deserve it.

In order to keep the secret, the [-] troops moved to Yinping on the grounds of withdrawing from Guanzhong to change defenses.I disguised myself as an ordinary general and mixed in.

In order not to make Sima Yi suspicious, the army set off during the day.Going north along the Yangping official road in a mighty way, the rapid march turned at Dingjun Mountain on the second day, and the road was straight and flat.

In front of you is the Jinping Mountain, the remaining vein of the Qinling Mountains.The nearest mountain peak is about fifty miles away from Yinping City, stretches for thousands of miles, and is more than two hundred feet high.On the main peak, the ancient trees are lush and the mountains and forests are as beautiful as a screen.From a distance, the mountains are spewing green, the peaks are emerald, and the mountains and forests are deep; when you look closely, the pines and waves are connected, the crowns of the trees are undulating, covering the sky and the sun, and the mountain wind is blowing and rustling. Being in it is like a fairyland.

When I first entered the mountain, although the mountain was steep, with tall trees and dense forests, and strange peaks, the gravel road was elegant and quiet, and I felt refreshed along the way.There is mist in front of you, looking at the mountain road straight into the clouds like a streamer, winding like a dragon, it is majestic and magnificent.

This situation is far from the dangerous land described in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.I couldn't help but took the reins and looked back at Wang Ping.Wang Ping was very clever and understood: "Prime Minister, don't be fooled by the illusion of the main peak. According to the general calculation, I'm afraid the horse won't be able to ride within fifty miles. Moreover, the water source will gradually become scarce."

Afraid that I would not believe it, Wang Ping pointed to the mountain peak and said: "The main peak is too high, blocking the abrupt mountain ridge behind. After passing, the road will become narrower and narrower, and finally there will be no road, only thorns, bushes, and weeds. Will ask for orders, 5000 handsome people will clear the way ahead. Guarantee the passage of the army."

"Zhou Cang and Wang Ping listen to the order, you two command an army of [-] people, and you must open a road and build a bridge, so there must be no mistakes." Zhou Cang's injury happened just right, and he kept muttering in his heart, Wang Ping's nonsense, it's not as terrible as he said.

Now that the terrain is flat, don't waste time and go full speed ahead.As Wang Ping said, half an hour later, the army bypassed the main peak, and the spacious road suddenly shrank into a narrow path.The green woods suddenly withered, and the sound of the gurgling stream faded away.There is no vegetation, and the mountain is exposed, as green as a human face, making the whole mountain cold and empty.

The chaotic rocks piled up irregularly, forming an irregular mountain road.Tree roots as thick as an arm are criss-crossed and attached to the stones, like a series of connected meridians.It's like a giant python lying on its feet.Gray-white trunks, gray-white dead vines.Due to the lack of water, the trees here have long since dried up. It is estimated that a fire can burn the whole mountain.As soon as the wind blows, you can hear the crackling sound in your ears.

I ordered the soldiers to abandon their horses and walk.Fortunately, preparations were made in advance, and there were less than five hundred cavalry.Walking into the mountains, within thirty miles, the sky was completely dark.In the gray twilight, the thorns and weeds felled by Zhou Cang and Wang Ping could be vaguely seen lying on both sides of the path.Although the torches were lit, they could not break through the black curtain surrounded by deep mountains.When stepping, if you are a little careless, you will be stumbled by the stones under your feet.

"Command, set up camp."

There are crows scratching and falcons circling in the sky.Below are wild foxes lamenting and evil wolves howling at the moon.Squirrels, voles, mice, and badgers shuttled between the camps.Soldiers standing guard would be swept away and devoured by waist-thick pythons completely unconscious.A group of tigers and leopards were prostrate in the distance watching the burning torches in the camp, staring with fear and longing.I forgot one detail.is the fatal detail.Deng Ai attacked Yinping in October, and now it is April.In October of the lunar calendar, there are no mosquitoes, but not now, the mosquitoes are everywhere, if you stay still, an hour is enough to suck your blood dry.

I thought of everything, but I didn't expect the soldiers to bring mosquito nets.

After a night, in the early morning, when the red sun rises, the trees all over the mountain bathed in mist have a dark gray coffee tone.On the mountain road tangled with vines, it seems that there are skeletons lying one after another.The cane is the rib, and the cobblestone is the head.

The barracks horn sounded.The soldiers who were already ready, or who hadn't slept at all, quickly assembled.Outside the camp, take a deep breath and complain to each other.

The trumpet sounded again, and the 5 people immediately fell silent.Form a rectangular formation. "Set off--"

This kind of road is still good, with Zhou Cang and Wang Ping in front of them, they can barely cope with it.Three hundred miles in seven days.At least fifty of these three hundred miles were excavated by man-made stone splitting.

5 people are too many, we need to speed up.I ordered to leave 1 people here to camp here, waiting for orders.The remaining 4 moved on.After walking for less than half a day, Wang Ping rushed to report.

"Prime Minister, it's not good. There is a cliff between two peaks in front of us. Our army can't pass through it. We have tried many methods but it will not work."

"Xingba, let's go and have a look together."

The blue-gray cliffs are extremely slippery, and the peaks and peaks that hold the sun are so high that you can't see the peak when you look up.How high is it? I really answered that sentence: I am afraid that even the sun will go around in the gap.There was a forcible gap between the two peaks, with a distance of a hundred steps. From a distance, it looked like a child with a gaping mouth and a smirk.

If you want to pass here, unless you are a flying fairy.Otherwise it will be impossible.

Wang Ping frowned and said: "Unless it is to build a plank road on the mountain wall, but it will take at least two days." I didn't even think about it: "Take it, 4 people will do it together." Come here, can't you go back? .fuck it.

All the generals worked together, chiseled with axes, felled trees, drilled rocks, and built a hundred-step plank road in less than two days.Zhou Cang wiped his sweat, looked at the chisel in his hand, and sighed: "This thing is a hundred times harder than cutting people."

After seven days and another two hundred miles, the brothers were exhausted.Some soldiers climbed the mountain every day, and their calves were already swollen and painful. Some soldiers couldn't bear the poisonous sun that burned their skin, so they drank water.There isn't much left in the water bladder.

Lao Tzu's surprise attack this time was much more difficult than Deng Aike's due to the influence of the climate.

I asked Li Dian to keep [-] of these soldiers and build a camp.

Three days later, after walking a hundred miles, some soldiers developed high fever and dysentery.This is caused by picking poisonous mushrooms in the mountains or drinking unclean water.There was a group of soldiers who were unwilling to eat pot helmets, and hunted on the mountain with bows and arrows, and strayed into the snake's lair. There were more than 300 soldiers, and none of them survived——

No way, I picked herbs in the mountains, wrote a prescription, and asked Hu Che'er to leave 1 people to build another camp and stay in this area to wait for the assembly order.

Wang Ping said: "It shouldn't be far away." I don't know if it is true or not.Those words didn't match his frowning expression.I secretly asked Wang Ping: "Did you say that to boost morale?" Wang Ping still said: "It shouldn't be far away." This made me anxious: "You bastard let a poisonous snake bite your tongue. No, I won't say anything else." Wang Ping seemed to have a fever, and said in a daze, "Prime Minister, it's not far away." I was so angry that I stopped asking.

There are 2 people left, move on.After trekking through thorns and thorns for five days in the deep mountains of Daze, suddenly a steep mountain blocked the way ahead.But Zhou Cang and Wang Ping's forward troops were not seen.I walked this way for almost seven hundred miles, and I didn't even see a single person.I thought that this mountain should be Motianling.Sure enough, on the mountainside, there are three characters of Motianling in the big book.

Pei Bao was like a leopard, running among the rocks, and came before him in an instant: "Prime Minister—it's not good—it's—it's impossible, there's a real cliff ahead——"

I've known this for a long time.Seeing the appearance of his dead father, he yelled loudly: "Nonsense, what a fart, you are the only one who wants to conquer the city and disturb the morale of the army. I will chop your head off."

Pei Bao swallowed his saliva, calmed down, broke out in cold sweat, nodded and bowed his head: "Prime Minister, Prime Minister, you should die, but you should go and have a look, it's terrible, General Zhou and General Wang Ping are hugging their heads on the mountain It’s painful. Crying like a bear. Crying so hard that the sun and the moon are dark. The two of them really affect the morale of the army. The five thousand soldiers are almost crying to death.”

You said this bear Zhou Cang, I forgot to tell him.In fact, there is still a way!
"What are you crying for? Stand up for me!" I stood on the hill and shouted; , It’s all over, the west side of Motian Ridge is full of cliffs, tens of thousands of feet of skyscrapers, vertically falling, and it is impossible to dig. I have gone through all kinds of hardships, and it is all in vain to come here. Prime Minister—”

I looked down, mother, what was said in Romance of the Three Kingdoms is too general.I also want to cry, just now I scolded Zhou Cang for his arrogance, and all of them went to Europe.You must know that this place is so steep, even if you kill me, I dare not come here.

I think the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a lie.It is basically impossible for Deng Ai to get out of here.Even if it really rolled down. Even 2000 people cannot survive a thousand.This is—my mother—

Luo Guanzhong did not conduct field investigations, so what he said was very irresponsible.Is this a slope?This fucking is Zhipo.Straight up and down.Is there a slope there?

Yes, 180 degrees! !
What can I do, not just 180 degrees.And the entire 200-meter-high foothills are bare, like Chen Peisi's head.Not to mention, there are still some differences. There are many rocks all over the top, some are like hammers, squatting there, some are triangular, with blades like knives, some are like apes, and some are like wooden stakes.Scattered in the foothills.The shapes are different, but one thing is the same-the head will burst like a watermelon when it hits it.If the stomach hits a sharp rock, there will be no doubt that the maternity will be cut.

It takes infinite courage to roll down from here.

These 2 people must have the sacrifice spirit of the Death Squadron.

To form a death squad, you must have money.Money, I have it.I asked Zangba to gather all the soldiers and mobilized loudly: "Brothers, how can you get tiger cubs if you don't enter the tiger's lair? Wealth and wealth are sought in danger. The army has traveled seven hundred miles here. How much we have suffered, what happened to us? How many catastrophes have been encountered. Can you go back and walk again? After Motianling is Jiangyou City in Yizhou, you also know that we are out of food, and the pot helmets on our bodies are finished, not only you. I am the prime minister, Yuan Xi, and I After eating, I didn’t bring one more pot helmet than my brothers. Going back, everyone will die. Right now, there is only one way to survive, which is Jiangyou City. Who wants to follow the truth, the day of success—let you all be in the city Rob for a day. All gold and silver are yours."

The most traditional way of motivating soldiers.Many famous battles were won in this way.

I've seen rock climbing on TV before!
"Come on, wedge all the five hundred long chisels into the cracks in the rock, make sure they are strong, and then tie the ropes on your body to the long chisels. Hold a sharp axe, and go down the mountain like you did." Isn't it just rock climbing? , what's the big deal?Fight it!I tied the twenty-strand rope soaked in water into one and tied it around my waist, tightening and tightening.Watching Zhou Cang use all his strength to smash the long chisel's ten-foot body into the black-brown stone crevice.The stone was so hard that it didn't even have a white stubble when it was hammered down.It took Zhou Cang half an hour to do it.This is better and stronger.

I pulled the rope with both hands, inserted a sharp ax into the back of my waist, and made the last test.With a loose hand, he fell down.Suddenly, two forces from left and right pulled me back abruptly.

Wen Chou and Gan Ning, Zhou Cang and Zhang Xiu all knelt down and wept bitterly: "My lord, no, no." Wen Chou rushed over to untie the rope on my body: "If you want to boost morale, I can do it too. You don't need to take the risk of being a prime minister."

Zhang Xiu and Zhou Cang also came over and wanted to grab the rope.I laughed dryly and said, "We're all going down. How about this, there are so many ropes, let's go down together. Let Xuan Gao and Wang Ping be on top to supervise the soldiers."

On Wen Chou's stern face, there was a resolute smile: "The prime minister is not afraid of death. I will die, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Brothers, are you afraid?" Wen Chou turned around and roared.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid—" the soldiers shouted quite loudly, but they were actually muttering in their hearts, can this thing not be afraid?It's too high.

Seeing that Zhang Xiu, Gan Ning, and Wen Chou were all dropped into the air, I was suddenly a little scared.If the method of rock climbing fails and we all fall to our deaths, how will history evolve?

I can't manage so much anymore.I yelled: "Everyone, be careful—" I kicked my feet, and my body fell down at an extremely fast speed.Wen Chou's eyes suddenly closed tightly.

Following the undulation of the cable, my body drew an arc in the air, and then clung to the rock wall inertially.Shouted loudly, "No problem, let's go." Gan Ning and Zhou Cang saw it and thought it was quite fun.Looking at each other and smiling, they all let go of their hands, kicked their legs to send the rope, and climbed down.I loosened the cable time and time again, and kicked my toes back and forth among the rock piles at the foot of the mountain. I didn't feel that I was halfway up the mountain.There were blisters on his hands, his waist was tightened, and he retched uncomfortably, almost suffocating.

But Gan Ning became more and more flexible, more and more handy, circling between the void and the bare rock wall, like a monkey.Also kept laughing.It's like playing a game.

Wen Chou and others have also found the pattern, and the speed is accelerating——

I was the first to reach the bottom of the valley and set foot on flat ground.Followed by Gan Ning, Zhou Cang, Wen Chou, Zhang Xiu, Pang De.The rope was quickly retracted, and the inspired soldiers descended one file after another along the fifty iron chisels——

50 people were killed.I think it must be much smaller than Deng Ai's loss.

Eighty miles away, Jiangyou City.

When I went down to the bottom of the valley, the sun just set on the mountainside.The sky was covered with a black cloak that blocked all light.All the generals advocated camping and resting, the soldiers were too tired.

Wang Ping alone said: "Our army is descending like heavenly soldiers at this moment. If we attack Jiangyou in the dark, it will be effortless. Wouldn't it be better to enter the city and rest?" , Dig a ladder along the mountain to facilitate the passage of the follow-up troops. In addition, send someone to inform Li Dian and Hu Che'er to lead the troops to come to the meeting."

Wen Chou looked at the mountains in the night, and said worriedly: "I don't know who is stationed in Jiangyou City?" I smiled and said: "It's easy to handle, Pei Bao will lead people to go ahead and find out clearly, and don't reveal his whereabouts." Pei Bao In response, he waved to a few special forces and ran down the official road.

"Yuyu, set off with the whole army."

"Yes, Prime Minister."

The army was twenty miles away from Jiangyou City, and Pei Bao had already turned back: "Prime Minister, I have found out clearly that it is Cao General Hu Zhi who is stationed in Jiangyou City."

Zhang Xiu laughed on the horse: "I don't know anyone, I can't live today." Pang De suddenly said: "Prime Minister, there will be a plan at the end, which can capture Hu Zhi alive."

Pang De is a rare general who is brave and resourceful.I nodded for him to continue.Pang De said: "We can pretend to be the envoy sent by Sima Yi to ask for help, and sneak into the city. Hu Zhi wanted to break his head, but he couldn't guess that Yuan Bing would suddenly arrive outside Jiangyou City. He would definitely not doubt it."

Wen Chou said: "Hu Zhi recognizes us?" Pei Bao smirked and said, "He doesn't recognize me? Prime Minister, let the general go." I muttered: "You can't do it alone, let Wang Ping go with you, he and Hu He has never met face-to-face. Remember, it is best to capture him alive. We will use him to cheat Jiange Pass."

The army withdrew its banners and drums, and hid ten miles away.Wang Ping and Pei Bao called the door at the foot of Jiangyou City in casual clothes: "Open the door quickly, we are sent by Master Sima Yi to see the Prime Minister." Unable to penetrate the night, swaying from side to side by the wind, the soldiers' sight was confused in the haze.As soon as the captain guarding the city heard it, he opened the door as soon as you said it, how about your house? "Is there any official document?" Pei Bao knew that he was an idiot when he heard it, and took out a roll of bamboo slips from his arms: "Here is the official document. Open the door quickly." The captain shook his head: "Pass the official document up, I want to see it." Pei Bao Leopard was furious: "Who the hell are you? Don't say it's you, even your prefect Hu Zhi has no right to open the door. If you can't open the door, I will go back and return to my life. At that time, Your dog's head is hard to protect."

If you are too soft, just threaten them.

This trick worked, and the captain was afraid: "Don't do it, the door will open, the door will open."

Hu Zhi was about to take a rest, when he climbed onto the couch with one leg, someone suddenly reported: "General, Master Sima Yi has sent someone here, saying he wants to see you, there is an urgent military situation."

Hu Zhixin was unlucky, he didn't come sooner or later, but he came at this time.He was not very satisfied with Sima Yi, mother, he climbed so fast and became a hot celebrity in an instant.

"What are you two doing here?" Hu Zhi didn't look at the two of them, and sat carelessly behind the short table.He didn't let the two of them sit down, and made it clear that he looked down on Sima Yi.

Wang Ping secretly laughed in his heart.Pei Bao lowered his head and held a roll of bamboo slips, walked over gently, and said respectfully: "General, Master Sima, you are here to ask for help. Please let me go out of the city. We want to see the Prime Minister. Master Sima also said, let The two of us temporarily mobilized 1 troops from Jiangyou City to meet the enemy."

"Fart—" Before Pei Bao could finish speaking, Hu Zhi jumped up, "Arrogance, arrogance, who does Sima Yi think he is, what right does he have, he mobilizes my troops without authorization, and I am not under his control. Go back and tell him, no. I don’t have enough people here.”

Pei Bao winked at Wang Ping, took another step forward and said, "Lord Sima expected the general to say this, and he told us both: If Hu Zhi doesn't know how to praise and refuses to borrow troops, he will definitely Invite the prime minister, punish him, and make him be careful of his dog's head." Wang Ping said: "That's right, my lord said, General Hu, you are the most timid, once I tell you, you will definitely agree."

Hu Zhi seemed to have been doused with boiling water, and almost jumped up, pushing the roof away.Trembling all over with anger, he rushed over and grabbed Pei Bao's neck: "You bastard, I told you to be—you—reverse—" Hu Zhi's chest suddenly felt cold, and a blue bark, poisoned The dagger, the tip of the knife has lightly scratched the thin silk robe.

"What's going on, are you crazy?" Hu Zhi widened his eyes and said in horror.Beads of sweat flowed from his forehead to the tip of his nose.Wang Ping knew at a glance that he was a wimp with a strong outsider and a weak but capable person.He sneered and said, "Let me tell you the truth. The two of us were sent by the prime minister. Mr. Cheng Yu and Sima Yi have already sued you, saying that you are going to join Yuan Bing. We were just trying to test you. If you don't send reinforcements , is clearly a traitor. Obediently come back with us to see the prime minister, or we will kill you."

It took Hu Zhi a long time to recover, and he stammered; "I—I didn't—" Pei Bao said, "It's easy to prove whether you have done it. You open the city gate and let General Xiahoudun's troops in." The prime minister understands what you mean." "Open, open, someone will open the city gate, open the city gate quickly, and welcome General Xiahou Dun."

Wang Ping said to Pei Bao: "You wait here, I will invite General Xiahou to come. If he is not honest, he will be punished on the spot." Pei Bao said with a dark smile: "Don't worry, as long as I use a little strength , After half an hour, he was poisoned and died." Hu Zhi thought to himself, I have been wronged, why resist and seek death.

"Don't dare, I will never move, I will never move."
