Emperor Sun made his fortune from scratch

One hundred thousand Qi troops, with 10,000 men in front of the road, followed closely behind, slowly advancing towards Shudi.

The last time Shi Ai crossed the cliffs, he first arrived at Fushui Pass, and then passed through Mianxian and Deyang, and entered Chengdu.

Zhang Yanxia took a different path, planning to cross the Han River, pass through the Micang Mountain section, arrive at Nanjiang County, and then enter Bazhou (Bazhong, Sichuan).

Bazhou is located in the northeast of Shudi, farther away from Chengdu. But it is precisely because of this that the Zhaowu army is not as tightly defended as other places on this road.

There are many peaks on Mt. Micang, and there are more than 40 peaks above the kilometer of light, which are almost uninhabited, and it is relatively difficult to walk.

In order to avoid the Zhaowu Pass in advance, the Qi army made a few more detours, so that after walking for four days, the speed of march was unusually slow. During this period, more than 300 soldiers accidentally fell off the cliff.

Zhang Yanxia was anxious in his heart, with so many Qi troops, it was not easy to completely avoid the eyes and ears of the Zhaowu army, and the army must enter Shu smoothly before Li Zhao could react.

So the order was given to speed up the advance. Even despite the danger, sometimes they march at night.

After another two or three days, he still did not get out of the mountain.

He Taohan said to Zhang Yanxia: "The mountain road is steep, and the speed of the 100,000 army is slow. The last general suggested that the troops should be divided into two routes, and I am willing to lead 20,000 troops to take the other road and enter Shu from Wangcang County.

Zhang Yanxia hesitated, shook his head and said: "There is enough food and grass in the army, and in a few days, it should be able to reach Nanjiang County, and there is no need to divide the troops."

"With so many people, once they are discovered by the Zhaowu Army, I am afraid that my achievements will be wasted. He Taohan insisted.

"The scouts in this army have already traveled in advance, and there is no Zhaowu army stationed there.

He Taohan thought about it, and indeed didn't meet Zhaowujun along the way, so he no longer insisted.

Just as the Qi army was heading towards Shu, they met a mother and daughter on the way, and it seemed that the people who lived in the mountains had come here to pick some wild fruits.

In order to prevent their whereabouts from being exposed, despite the desperate begging for mercy from the two, Zhang Yanxia decisively killed him.

That night, because the mother and daughter had not returned for a long time, the family and some villagers hurriedly went up the mountain to look for them. Until dawn, when the bodies of the two were found, everyone was grief-stricken.

The men in the family hunt in the mountains all year round and have a good sense of observation. Seeing that there were footprints all around, it was obvious that a large group of people and horses passed by, and seeing that his wife and daughter were all stabbed by long knives, he quickly thought of the notice of the government some time ago.

The man's eyes were red, his fists were clenched, and his heart was even more monstrous hatred. Regardless of the rugged mountain road, he ran like crazy to the nearest county seat.

.......................................................................................

Taking advantage of the fact that he was not discovered by the Zhaowu army, Zhang Yanxia frequently urged the soldiers to speed up their advance.

But after all, people's physical strength is limited, because they go up and down the mountains every day, constantly climbing high mountains, and only have two or three hours of rest, which makes the soldiers feel extremely tired.

"General Zhang, let's stop and rest. Xia Baiyang panted.

Wang Lu said: "It's not that we don't want to move forward, but my body really can't stand it, and I really can't walk."

Zhang Yanxia didn't want to stop, but when he saw that the soldiers were sweating profusely, he reluctantly agreed.

The soldier was overjoyed, and immediately went to the ground, and soon fell asleep.

During the break, He Taohan once again proposed to Zhang Yanxia that he lead 20,000 Qi troops, pretending to be Zhaowu troops, to attack Qutang Pass; once this pass is taken, tens of thousands of Qi troops outside the gate can also be slaughtered into Shu in a big way.

"The 100,000 Qi army disappeared in Hanzhong, and it is possible that they have been discovered by the secret agents of the Zhaowu Army. And this place is more than 300 miles away from Qutang Pass, and by the time you arrive, the Zhaowu army may be ready. At present, Shi Ai is stationed there, and this person is good at using soldiers, so it may not be easy to succeed. Zhang Yanxia said in a deep voice.

"The soldier is treacherous, if you don't try, how do you know if you can't succeed.

"When the whole army arrives at Nanjiang, let's discuss it then." "

.........

The two argued for a long time, but Zhang Yanxia never agreed.

He Taohan had no choice but to give up, and there was a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart, feeling that Zhang Yanxia was too stable.

Two quarters of an hour later, Zhang Yanxia gave the order to continue the march.

Many soldiers were still asleep and were forcibly woken up. Someone may have slept too soundly and won't wake up for a long time. Zhang Yanxia was furious and ordered the soldiers to be whipped.

Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Qi army dragged their tired bodies again and slowly advanced towards Shu.

After another two days, the march was unusually smooth, and there was no Zhaowu army on the road.

Xia Baiyang said excitedly: "If this continues, it is estimated that the day after tomorrow, the army will be able to enter Shudi." "

In the plains, there is no danger to defend. At that time, you can have a good battle with the Zhaowu army. Wang Lu said.

Zhang Yanxia said lightly: "Our army has not yet entered Shudi, so we must not relax, and we need to strengthen our vigilance." Just

then, the scout hurried to report. Ten miles ahead, there is a newly built pass of the Zhaowu Army.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be a little nervous.

"The Zhaowu Army in the pass, have you found our army?" Zhang Yanxia hurriedly asked.

"I shouldn't have noticed it, the door is still open. But this pass is set up on a high place, and there are dozens of soldiers standing on it, constantly patrolling back and forth. If our side approaches during the day, if there are many people, they will definitely be discovered by the Zhaowu Army in advance. The scout said.

He Taohan frowned and asked, "Are there any other roads around here that can bypass this pass?"

"You can get around, but you need to walk at least fifty miles more mountain roads. The scout said.

Zhang Yanxia was a little hesitant in his heart, wanting to go around, but he felt that fifty miles was a bit far, and it would take at least half a day to walk down. If there is no road ahead, it will waste a lot of time.

"What do you think?" Zhang Yanxia looked at He Taohan.

He Taohan smiled bitterly: "The last general doesn't know either. It was already evening, and if General Zhang did not want to make a detour, he could also take advantage of his unpreparedness and attack at night tonight.

Zhang Yanxia gritted his teeth, "Continue to hide, get ready, and attack tonight!" The

generals had solemn faces, knowing that this battle was extremely important, as long as they broke through the pass here, within one or two days, the Qi army could enter Shu.

Tens of thousands of soldiers sat on the ground, ate some dry food, and recovered their strength.

Soon, night fell, and it was dark in the mountains, and the Qi army did not rush to attack.

Until the time of the child, hundreds of Qi troops, led by the battalion general Liu Tao, quietly approached the pass. The rest of the Qi army followed closely.

It was less than ten steps away from the pass, and seeing that Zhaowujun did not react, Liu Tao was overjoyed.

Suddenly, a large number of torches were raised on the wall.

Countless arrows struck from both sides of the pass. The Qi army was immediately killed and wounded, and Liu Tao was also shot dead.
