Liu Ye decided to follow the plan of Fazheng, so he wrote a reply letter to Meng Chong. Meng Chong returned to the sword pavilion with Liu Ye's reply. As the private soldiers under Mengda's command were stationed at the top of the city, nothing happened.
"How about it? Have you seen the general? "
Seeing Meng Chong's successful return, Mengda seized him excitedly and asked aloud.
"It's not a shame."
Meng Chong clasped his fist and took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Meng Da.
Menda tore open the letter excitedly. After reading it, his mood gradually calmed down.
"It turned out that the general had other strategies..."
Meng Da did not dare to neglect, so he quickly sent private soldiers to Zhang Song's home. He did not dare to make a decision on such a big matter. Naturally, he had to discuss with Zhang song, who was quite resourceful, before he could make a decision.
"Zhang Ren has a general view of the internal and external defense of the sword Pavilion. We are constrained here by him."
Zhang Song said coldly: "it's better to listen to the general's strategy. You will take the initiative to propose the Yinping trail tomorrow, and then ask to go to Mianzhu pass to garrison. When that happens, hehe."
Meng Da highly praised Zhang Song's wisdom. Even Zhang Song said so, and immediately agreed.
The next day.
"Dudu, there will be a report at the end of the day."
Zhang Ren took a look at Mengda and said, "if Meng Zhechong has anything to say, I will listen to him."
Meng Da said bluntly: "the day before yesterday, Liu Ye had always been bold in his military use, and often used less to win over many. If you cross the Yinping path from the middle of the mountain to the south, though the journey is difficult, you can reach Chengdu directly. If Liu Ye sends a partial teacher to cross the Yinping path, Chengdu will be in danger. "
"The last general is not talented. He is willing to lead his troops to Mianzhu pass to hold on. If Liu Ye really has a partial division, he will wait for his work with ease, and he will certainly give him a head-on attack and discipline the enemy to come back and never return."
Zhang Ren nodded solemnly: "what you said is good. I have thought of it for a long time. I have already sent a letter to Chengdu a few days ago. Please send five thousand troops of general Wu Lang to Mianzhu pass to garrison. You don't have to go there."
Hearing Zhang Ren's words, Meng Da was stunned, but in his heart he was not good. Zhang Ren looked at him quietly on the surface, but in fact he did everything in place. How can he open his mouth?
Mengda's forehead was sweating for a moment. The general had sent a partial division to cross the shady path. If he didn't go, he would have to hit his head under Mianzhu pass. What can I do?
All of a sudden, he had a quick wit and said, "Dudu has already invited ten thousand soldiers to Chengdu. I'm afraid the Lord has already been dissatisfied. Now the governor has invited 5000 soldiers to Chengdu. I'm afraid that the Lord will blame him. It's better for the governor to ask the Lord not to send any more troops. A leader of two thousand troops can withstand ten times the number of people in Mianzhu pass."
Zhang Ren frowned: "there is some truth in what you said, but I'm afraid Wu Lang has sent 5000 military horses to Mianzhu pass... It's all right. There's no shortage of your two thousand people in Jiange. You can lead the army to Mianzhu pass and strengthen Chengdu's defense."
"When the governor defeats Liu Yuqing's spirit under the sword Pavilion, sooner or later, he will send troops to cut off Liu Ye's rear road. At that time, your troops will be useful." Zhang Renhao's airway.
After thinking for a while, he ordered Mengda to go to Mianzhu pass. Mengda was relieved.
"Brother Yongnian, I'm leaving!"
"It's been a good journey. I hope you'll make great achievements."
Zhang Song watched Mengda's two thousand army horses leave Jiange and move slowly towards Chengdu. He could not help smiling, and was following the plan step by step. It seems that Yizhou fell into the hands of the general, but sooner or later.
In order to strengthen the defense of Mianzhu pass, Mengda led 2000 people of his headquarters to withdraw from Jiange and march towards Mianzhu pass. At the same time, it's a long march, but it's a long way to go.
In an unknown mountain road to the south of Dazhong, ten thousand Xiliang troops, who have been fighting for a long time, are walking hard. Liu Ye attaches great importance to the construction of the army, so the Liangzhou army's clothes and armour are quite exquisite. However, these Liangzhou troops are all disheartened, and they look like refugees fleeing.
Most of the Liangzhou army did not wear helmets, but were held under their armpits or tied with ropes. Because it was too hot on their heads, it was not easy to dissipate heat in the mountains. Wearing helmets accumulated heat, and soon they were sweating.
Their bodies are dusty, and their exposed skin is a kind of muddy yellow, which is a mixture of sweat and dust. If they take a bath, they will be able to rub off the yellow mud. After all, they have no time to take a bath.
Looking down from the sky from afar, we can see that the ten thousand Liangzhou army is like a long snake, winding through the mountains and mountains, and their morale is quite low. After all, these Liangzhou troops usually march in the plains and rivers, and have never experienced such a dangerous environment. Naturally, their morale is low.
"General, or let the brothers rest?"
Zhang Nan wiped the sweat on his forehead and suggested to Zhang jaw.Zhang jaw shook his head, wiped the sweat from his eyebrows, shook his head, and said in an indisputable way: "no, keep going. It's not dark yet. Stop at this time. Can't we wait until it's dark to March?"
If it's on the flat ground, it's OK for the army to march at night, but it's not good on this shady path. Because the Yinping trail is surrounded by high mountains, even in the daytime, if a person falls down carelessly, he will fall to pieces. Before that, dozens of soldiers in the army did not pay attention to it. As a result, they stepped on the ground and fell down with a scream.
Even the environment during the day is so dangerous, not to mention at night, if you step on an empty, you have to fall to death.
Zhang jaw solemnly said: "order to go down, March for another two quarters of an hour. After dark, take out the dry food to eat separately, and then rest again."
After that, Zhang jaw continued to walk forward, walking like a fly. Seeing Zhang's jaw like this, Zhang Nan couldn't say anything. He just gave a wry smile and then continued to move forward.
On the way to March, Zhang jaw himself was dressed in full clothes. Instead of giving his armor and baggage to other soldiers, he set an example. Therefore, although the Liangzhou army was very hard-working, he did not dare to complain.
General Zhang is one of the four towns with high position and power. He is personally carrying the weight. What can we petty soldiers complain about? let's go!
Although the ten thousand Liangzhou army was physically and mentally exhausted, there was nothing to say, so they had to follow Zhang jaw and continue to march forward. Ten thousand troops, like a giant snake, March in the mountains of Bashu.
