The Three Kingdoms

Going west from Yangping Pass, starting from Hanzhong, you can enter the land of Sanfu through Qishan.

To the north of Yangping Pass, there are Chencang Ancient Road, Xiegu Road, Baoxie Road, and Tangluo Road. These are ancient mountain roads and dangerous plank roads, which can enter Guanzhong.

To the east of Yangping Guan is Ziwu Road.

Ziwu Road, also known as Ziwu Plank Road, the historical allusion of the so-called Mingxiu plank road and dark Chencang is that this plank road enters the Qinling Mountains from Hanzhong, crosses the valley of the Qinling Mountains, and leads directly to Chang'an City.

After Wu Jun took Yangping Pass, he rushed into Hanzhong without stopping, and the road they chose was the Meridian Road, which was the fastest road.

It was the twelfth lunar month of winter, on a narrow ancient road between Daxue Luanwu and the majestic mountains of Songshan Mountain, the loud sound of horseshoes kept knocking on the ground.A continuous cavalry team like a long dragon is marching.

"Lei Ding, can our main force get out of Meridian Road before it gets dark today?"

Sun Quan is wearing basalt armor and holding a white tiger spear.Riding a lion dragon, walking with the army, he stretched out his hand to wipe the snowflakes off his face, and asked in a deep voice.

Although the road will not be blocked by heavy snow, it is filled with wind and snow.It was freezing cold, and it was too difficult to march. Although they were cavalry, they walked very slowly, which made Sun Quan feel a little worried.

The essence of surprise attack lies in a strange word.

The news of the defeat of tens of thousands of Wei troops at Yangping Pass cannot be concealed for long. After all, Chen Cangcheng is still in the hands of Wei Jun. Once they find out about the closure of Yangping Pass, they will soon send out scouts to investigate.

No matter how capable Jin Yiwei is, he will not be able to block it for long.

So, they have to be quick, but in this freezing weather.If you want to go fast, where else can you go?

"His Majesty!"

Lei Dingce came up immediately and reported to Sun Quan: "Our vanguard general, General Zhao Zilong personally led [-] white horses Yicong. At noon, he had already left Ziwu Road and captured Ziwu Town next to Ziwu Valley. , our main force is expected to walk out of the Meridian Road before dark!"

"That's good!"

Sun Quan took a deep breath and held his spear high.He yelled and shouted: "Here is the order of our army. All soldiers must speed up and advance before dark. Entering Ziwu Town, you can have a night's rest. If you slow down, you will be dealt with by military law!"

"Yes!"

This long cavalry team began to accelerate forward, and the sound of horseshoes knocked on the narrow road like a drum.

at dusk.

At this time, the wind and snow in the sky stopped suddenly, and the sun, which had been gone for more than half a month, suddenly appeared.Although it is a sunset without temperature, the setting sun is like a glow, reflecting on the snow surface, presenting a beautiful scenery.

Under the sunset, Sun Quan led the main force of the cavalry, walked out of the rugged and difficult Ziwu Road, and entered Ziwu Town, which is less than [-] miles away from Chang'an City, from the Ziwu Ancient Road.

"Finally come out!" Sun Quan couldn't help sighing.

This way, they walked very smoothly. For Wei Guo, there were tens of thousands of elites from Yangping Pass guarding Hanzhong. No one would have thought that suddenly a group of Wu cavalry could enter Guanzhong.

Therefore, the several passes on Meridian Road were not guarded by Wei Jun, and there was no obstruction at all.

But there was no obstruction, and the cavalry of the Wu army were not having a good time. After going all the way, even Lu Bu and his few majestic and invincible generals with outstanding martial arts skills would complain.

"This road is not for the cavalry at all. Even if you kill me in the future, I will never take such a rough road again!" Lu Bu let out a breath of heat, looked back at the dangerous road, and said angrily.

"When I entered Bashu, I didn't feel that the road to Shu was difficult, but now I understand what it means to go to Bashu. It is more difficult than going to the blue sky!"

Sun Ce gritted his teeth: "Fortunately, no one intercepted the pass on the road, otherwise, even [-] troops would have been enough to block us on the mountain road, and we would not be able to enter for ten days and a half months!"

"In the future, I would rather enter Wei from Jingzhou than go through this Guanzhong land!"

Gan Ning also smiled wryly.

"Okay, the rugged mountain road along the way has exhausted the soldiers, and the morale of the soldiers has been very low. Do the leading generals have the nerve to complain here?"

Sun Quan turned his head, looked at several generals, and reprimanded very rudely: "I will give you one hour to rectify your troops and horses immediately, so as to calm down the morale of the troops, but keep your movements small so as not to disturb Chang'an City. Gather at Xushi. There must be no mistakes in discussing the upcoming battle!"

"promise!"

The generals took orders and quickly went to stabilize the morale of the soldiers. Seven cavalry divisions, two cavalry regiments, Overlord Cavalry and Baima Yicong, had more than [-] soldiers, and it was not easy to appease them.

"His Majesty!"

At this time, the vanguard general Zhao Yun, who had already prepared in the small town, greeted him personally.

"Zilong, has this town been cleaned up?" Sun Quan looked at Zhao Yun and asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, all the people have been cleaned up, and all the people in a radius of ten miles have been placed under house arrest. My scouts have been stationed around Chang'an City. Chang'an City has not responded yet. It seems that we have not alarmed them!"

"This place is less than [-] miles away from Chang'an, our cavalry are quite active, so they haven't been alarmed?" Sun Quan narrowed his eyes.

"The wind and snow helped us a lot, the strong wind and snow covered our movement!"

Zhao Yun smiled and said: "Chang'an City didn't have many soldiers and horses, and now they have Cao Xiu blocking Yangping Pass. They are safe, and none of the scouts have been released!"

"God help me too!" Sun Quan laughed.

Zhao Yun watched Sun Quan's face turn white from the cold, and quickly said, "Your Majesty, I've already prepared a brazier. You warm it up first!"

"it is good!"

Sun Quan nodded, and walked into the main hall of a small town, warming his cold hands with a brazier, but he kept complaining in his heart: "His grandma, the road to Shu is really difficult. I don't know that Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition in history How did you fight?"

Southern Wu and Northern Wei, east and west can confront each other, but the road to the west is much more difficult than the road to the east. Whether it is from Xuzhou, Yangzhou Jiujiang, or Jingzhou Nanyang to the north, there is no such way from Hanzhong to Guanzhong. rugged.

Sometimes he admired Zhuge Liang for going through such a rugged mountain road, he just fought the Northern Expedition ten times or eight times.What a man.

"Your Majesty, let me remove your armor, so that it will be warmer after baking!"

Lei Ding came up and said.

"Damn it!"

When Sun Quan heard this, Amber glared at him, and said: "Now is the time of war. Horses don't take off their saddles, and people don't take off their armor. If you come down from me, who dares to take off your armor. Deal with it according to military law!"

"promise!"

Lei Ding backed away embarrassingly.

As night fell, the heavy snow that had stopped for several hours fell again, and the strong wind became stronger and stronger, covering the small town of Ziwu Town with wind and snow.The sky suddenly became colder.

In a large hall in Ziwu Town, the lights were brightly lit, and all the generals gathered together.

Under the light of the oil lamp, Sun Quan personally laid out a detailed marching map in front of the generals. This is a one-hundred-thousandth marching map.It is a relatively detailed map of this era.

"The first step in the surprise attack, we must take Chang'an first!"

Sun Quan took the lead in saying: "The Wei army attacked Liang and used all the soldiers in Guanzhong. Chang'an City now has only a few thousand troops. As long as we quickly take down the city gate, we can take down Chang'an City in a short time. Taking Chang'an is actually not easy for us. It’s difficult, but once Chang’an City is captured, Luoyang City will be alarmed, and the nearest to Chang’an is the Chen Cang Wei Army, which is only more than a hundred miles away, and the cavalry can arrive in a day, which is very unfavorable to us!”

"Your Majesty, is it feasible for us to bypass Chang'an City and enter Luoyang from Hongnong without disturbing Chang'an?" Lu Bu said.
