At this moment, Cen Peng's hand also pointed to a particularly conspicuous location on the sand table: Ziwu Valley.
"At the end of the day, I am not talented, so I would like to lead a force of troops from Ziwu Valley to the south to surprise Hanzhong Administrative Office Nanzheng, attract the main force of the enemy to resist, and then entangle them to death!
Please ask the governor to lead the main army to Chencang and Qishan. We will surely capture Hanzhong and conquer Bashu in one fell swoop! "
This plan proposed by Cen Peng is quite dedicated. It is easy to entangle the enemy, but it is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. Once trapped in the valley, there is no chance to escape.
Moreover, when walking through Ziwu Valley, the number of people is destined not to be large and must be less than 10,000. If they really face the main force of the enemy, the final outcome will definitely not be much better!
As for the surprise attack on Nanzheng, the Hanzhong Administrative Office, it is not a mess. If people pass by, whether it can be captured is even more of a question!
"It's too risky to use troops like this!" Li Jing said in a deep voice.
To be honest, Li Jing doesn't support this strategy very much, and to be fair, Li Jing doesn't think this strategy has much success rate?
You can give it a try, but you can't pin all your hopes on it. It's naturally a good thing if it happens, but if it doesn't happen, you need to be more prepared.
Regarding the Ziwu Valley, there is a matter that has been debated by later generations for thousands of years, but no one has given an answer: The Ziwu Valley Conspiracy!
Several roads through the Qinling Mountains, including Qishan Road, Chencang Road, and Baoxie Road, all occupy dangerous positions, but they have been successfully broken through many times in wars throughout the ages!
Ziwu Valley is an exception. Although it has been planned to attack and sneak across many times, it has never been successful. This has made countless heroes hate it. Therefore, there is a famous saying in later generations: The way of Qinling Mountains, Ziwu is the king!
The Ziwu Valley conspiracy proposed by Wei Yan has not been implemented in detail. In the end, it is still unknown whether it will succeed!
However, to be fair, this strategy actually has a greater chance of failure, and it is even said that there is almost no chance of success.
Both Tangluo Road and Ziwu Valley are difficult to walk. In addition to the steep and narrow roads, the roads are often interrupted by heavy rains, making it difficult to conduct large-scale military operations.
Not to mention the roads along the way, just say that 5,000 people went deep alone, with no reinforcements from outside, and no logistics inside. As long as Chang'an City held on for a period of time, his entire army would be annihilated.
Therefore, Ziwu Valley's strange plan is a dangerous strategy for military operations.
With Ji Han's national power at that time, it was obviously a bit extravagant to send another five thousand people to Chang'an City to escape death.
To put it simply, Zhuge Liang during the Ji Han period did not have the capital to try. If he lost a big gamble, he would be doomed, so he had a cautious character throughout his life.
The real history is not the random drawing of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to fight in the novel. In real history, if five thousand men and horses were lost like that, Ji Han's situation at that time would definitely be broken.
Why would Zhuge Liang take such a risk for him?
At the same time, Cao Zhen also went to the Ziwu Valley. After fully referring to the geographical location of Hanzhong, Cao Zhen ordered Sima Yi to go upstream via the Han River. Guo Huai, Fei Yao and other troops entered either from the Xie Valley or from Wuwei. Didn't Zhuge Liang once give himself a false and true reality? Cao Zhen also gave Zhuge Liang a trick this time. His confidence lies in the fact that Cao Zhen is honest every step of the way.
All your military strength in Hanzhong is in the north, and Sima Yi will steal your rear. If you set up an ambush by the river, my people from Xiegu Wuwei can contain you, and finally Ziwu Valley will directly attack you.
However, Cao Zhen's main force also encountered heavy rain. Moreover, the rain Cao Zhen encountered was a bit outrageous. It rained for more than a month, although it might not rain for a few days during this period.
However, the roads in Ziwu Valley have been damaged by rain, and many plank roads can no longer be used. The most important thing is that Cao Zhen's army also encountered flash floods. In a whole month, Cao Zhen's army only traveled half of the way.
It was originally a road that had been abandoned for many years. Cao Zhen saw that the soldiers who had shared the joys and sorrows with him were unable to move forward. Many of them even fell to their deaths on the dead wood while walking on the plank road.
This time in the expedition to Shu, except for Sima Yi, some achievements were recorded. Cao Zhen probably didn't see a single enemy. Guo Huai was repulsed in the Yangxi area. This time the expedition to Shu was a complete success, with losses in vain.
In later generations, Huan Wen's Northern Expedition and King Chuang's Northern Expedition both carried out the practice of Ziwu Valley's conspiracy. However, the results of these two times were more miserable than the last.
The former made slow progress, but was found to have no surprising effect at all, and was eventually eliminated.
The latter, Gao Yingxiang's Ziwu Valley plan, was discovered by Sun Chuanting. He had already arranged an ambush in Heishui Valley of Ziwu Valley, waiting for Gao Yingxiang to fall into the trap, but Gao Yingxiang was unaware of it. After half a month of arduous walking on Ziwu Road, the army he led arrived at Heishui Valley. They were ambushed and defeated by Chuanting's army of the Ming Dynasty, which had been ambushing here for a long time. He was captured and escorted to Beijing, where he died.
"Wei Qing, lead 150,000 troops, go around Jieting, Tianshui Line, cross Qishan Mountain, march towards Baishui Pass, and attack the west of Hanzhong County!" Although Li Jing did not object to Cen Peng's plan on the spot, he did He didn't mean to agree, but instead gave an order.
Baishui Pass, from Liangzhou to Shu along the Qishan Road, this is the obstacle we have to face now. Baishui Pass is located on the ancient transportation line. It connects to Qinlong in the north and Jiameng in the south by land. It can reach Gannan by tracing the Bailong River up and down to Bayu and even Jingxiang. It is an important military pass.
"Three Kingdoms Fa Zhengzhuan" also says that Fazheng mentioned Baishui Pass when analyzing the situation at that time for Liu Bei. He said: "The fish belly (Fengjie) and Guan Tou (i.e. Baishui Pass) are actually the gates of disaster and fortune in Yizhou."
Fazheng believed that there were only two ways to enter Shu at that time. One was to take the fish belly (Fengjie) along the Yangtze River in the east to enter Shu, and the other was to take Baishui Pass from the north to Shu by land. Therefore, if you keep the fish belly and the key is good, if you lose the fish belly, the key will be disaster.
"Records of the Southern Han Dynasty" by Zhang Hui from Jin Dynasty records: "Shu has three passes, Yangping, Jiangguan and Baishui".
As the governor of Liangzhou, Wei Qing should have been located in Liangzhou at this time. However, most of the 500,000 new soldiers recruited and trained in the past few years are located in Bing, Si, and Yongzhou. At this time, the troops were first assembled in Yongzhou, and then some troops were sent to Liangzhou.
Wei Qing simply came to Yongzhou to lie down, firstly to communicate with other generals in this battle, and secondly, to mobilize the required troops.
If the army goes back and forth to Yongliang once, it will definitely be a lot of trouble and I don't know how long it will take. However, if a single general leads a team of light cavalry, the speed will be much faster.
"Feng Yi, I order you to lead an army of 120,000 people, go south along the Baoxie Road, and attack the north of Hanzhong County!"
"This governor personally leads an army of 150,000 people, takes Chencang Road, and attacks the northwest of Hanzhong County!"
