Chapter 718

Zhang Xiu's army is moving south. The whole of Hanzhong is under the control of Zhang Xiu, so all the way is very smooth, successfully arrived at the Nanzheng border.

Towards noon, the army stopped to rest.

Now it's getting hot in June.

Marching soldiers, in addition to armor, are very thin inside and outside, to avoid too hot. The soldiers in charge of the logistics began to cook and prepare meat for noon.

Zhang Xiu herself, together with Sima Yi and Pang Tong, took out the map of Guanghan County for research.

From the south of Guanghan County, the first is baishuiguan.

Only by breaking the white water pass can we go south.

In particular, baishuiguan is only a gateway, not the most difficult one. There are many barriers on the way from Guanghan county to Shu county. This is also the reason why it is difficult to attack Yizhou. All the way is not a smooth broad road. The road is very difficult.

Pang Tong stared at the map, looked at baishuiguan, and said in a deep voice: "Lord, according to the news, the commander of baishuiguan is Zhang Ren. He is a general under the command of Liu Zhang, a herdsman in Yizhou. He is both civil and military, and is deeply trusted by Liu Zhang. "

After a pause, Pang Tong said: "it can be said that Zhang Ren was in charge of the army for Liu Zhang to be a herdsman in Yizhou. We can rely on Zhang Wei to deal with Yang Yi last time. But according to the news, it's not so easy to deal with Zhang Ren. "

Sima Yi also said: "Pang Shangshu said that although baishuiguan is not as dangerous as xiegu pass, in fact, Zhang Ren's presence in baishuiguan is the biggest problem."

Zhang Xiu sighed and said, "Zhang Ren, this is my elder martial brother."

"Ah

When Pang Tong and Sima Yi heard the speech, they all exclaimed.

Is Zhang Ren Zhang Xiu's elder martial brother?

It's amazing.

You know, Zhao Yun, as Zhang Xiu's younger martial brother, has excellent martial arts skills and excellent shooting skills. Zhang Ren is the elder martial brother of Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun. How good is his martial arts? For a moment, both of them had some inner drumming.

Zhang Xiu said: "but my elder martial brother Zhang Ren and I didn't get along for long. And I know him. He's not going to be private. It's almost hard to be emotional. "

Pang Tong and Sima Yi looked at each other and showed their helplessness. When they heard that Zhang Ren had a relationship with Zhang Xiu, they also thought about taking the baishuiguan pass with the help of Zhang Xiu's brother's emotion.

Now, it's impossible.

Zhang Xiu continued: "you said that according to the information sent back by Wang Yue, if you attack baishuiguan, you are almost sure to win."

Pang Tong thought for a while, and then replied, "if we really attack baishuiguan, we will certainly seize it. After all, we have enough troops. If I were Zhang Ren, knowing that the LORD was powerful, I would not fight in baishuiguan. "

"It must be blocking and weakening the troops going south."

"Fighting in baishuiguan will consume our troops."

"Next, when we go south to Jiameng County, we will be obstructed from entering Jiameng pass; when we go south to Zitong County, there will be Zitong pass. In the end, there is Jianmen pass, the southernmost pass of Jianmen road. "

"All the way south, there are countless checkpoints."

Pang Tong said: "Zhang Renwu is good at martial arts, and he is also proficient in the art of war. He can resist along the way and constantly weaken the Lord's strength. At the end of the day, even if the Lord passed through Mianzhu, Luoxian and Xindu, he could directly approach Chengdu, but by that time, his troops had been weakened to the extreme. "

"Zhang Ren's forces are strong enough to defeat us completely."

"The land of Yizhou is not like the Central Plains, nor the water town of Jiangnan. In its territory, there are countless mountains and numerous ups and downs, which increase the difficulty of our capture. "

Pang Tong said: "so if you attack hard, it's definitely not cost-effective."

Zhang Xiu nodded in agreement. He agreed with Pang Tong's analysis.

That's true.

After hearing this, Sima Yi looked dignified. As Pang Tong said, it was not easy to do.

A sound of footwork came from not far away.

But Wang came in a hurry.

Wang Yue came to Zhang Xiu and reported: "Lord, outside our military camp, there is a man named Hu Mo asking to see him."

Zhang Xiu said, "what's the matter?"

Wang yuechen reported: "Hu Mo said that he had a plan to break the baishuiguan pass."

"Please

Zhang Xiu gave an order.

"Here it is

Wang Yue was ordered to turn around and arrange.

Not long after, Wang Yue was carrying a man who was more than 30 years old, with dark complexion, scattered sideburns and patched clothes.

This person is Hu mo.

He followed Wang Yue and approached Zhang Xiu. When he saw Zhang Xiu, his face was very excited and a little bit uneasy. When he came to Zhang Xiu's body, Hu Mo bowed himself and said, "Cao min Hu Mo, meet Taiwei."

Zhang Xiu looks at Hu Mo and listens to his words. Although Hu Mo's clothes are simple, Hu Mo has a wise and understanding look. He nodded slightly and said, "do you think there is a plan to help me break the white water pass?""Yes

Hu Mo replied quickly.

Zhang xiudao: "you are talking about how to defeat the enemy?"

Hu Mo said: "tell Taiwei back, there's no basis for his words. Taiwei is willing to go six miles northwest with the grass people. It's a mountain depression. It's a gathering place for my people. When they arrive, they can tell Tai Wei how to break the white water barrier. "

At this point, Hu Mo was slightly worried and said again, "of course, if Taiwei wants to listen to CaoMing, it's OK. It's just that Cao min's description is incoherent, and Cao min is not a good speaker. I'm afraid he didn't describe it clearly. On the contrary, Tai Wei didn't like it. "

Zhang xiudao said, "since that's the case, I'll go with you."

"Not my Lord!"

Pang Tong didn't even think about it. He remonstrated: "Lord, it's not clear who Hu Mo is. How can you trust him. If this person is a dead man and wants to kill the Lord, it will be quite dangerous. "

Sima Yi also said, "I don't suggest you go in person, just go by me.

As soon as Hu Mo heard this, he immediately became anxious and solemnly said: "Taiwei, I'm not a man with bad intentions. I was born in Mohism, and I am a Mohist. Now the Mohist school is declining, and it is difficult to manage due to the lack of money turnover. I came to Taiwei. I swear to heaven. If I have any plot against the Taiwei, I will die a terrible death. "

Zhang Xiu's eyebrows rose, revealing an unexpected look.

Mohist.

Zhang Xiu knows about Mohism.

Mohism in the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period was one of the most prominent schools in the world. It was not only able to make utensils, but also had its own set of knowledge. However, until now, Mohism has long disappeared, leaving only some skilled craftsmen.

Most of the time, no one calls himself Mohist. After all, it is easy to be criticized.

Zhang Xiu said, "I believe you. Let's go."

Immediately, Zhang Xiu took Wang Yue, Deng Zhan, Shi a, and a group of bodyguards with him. Then he put on Pang Tong and Sima Yi and went to the Northwest with Hu mo.

The army was stationed for the time being, and Zhang Xiu and his party rode fast.

A few miles away, not long time, Zhang Xiu and his party came to the col. The scenery here is quite beautiful, but there is a flat area in the mountain forest, where houses gather everywhere.

Hu Mo waved his hand and led Zhang Xiu down the mountain to the village.

The closer you get, the better you can see the village.

The village is not big. Roughly speaking, there are more than 50 households. Roughly speaking, there are two or three hundred people. Most of the people in the village, like Hu Mo, are dressed simply and patched.

Because of the hot weather, some of the children gathered in this village were naked and never wore anything.

When Zhang Xiu saw this, she really understood.

If Hu Mo is really from Mohism, he is in a bad situation.
