Chapter 790: Meridian Valley's Magical Conspiracy Comes to Life
Zhang Ren smiled and looked at the two of them slightly apologetically.
"Forgive me, two generals. In order to ensure the confidentiality of the plan, Military Advisor Pang specifically asked me not to make this matter public."
Yan Yan and Wu Yi nodded slightly, but they had no objections.
The more secret the strategy is, the fewer people know about it.
People talk a lot, and you don’t know where leaks will occur.
Throughout the ages, how many perfect strategies have failed because of leaks?
"General Zhang is too polite. I wonder if you can tell us two now?"
Wu Yi had a relaxed smile on his face. If Zhang Ren said no, he would never continue to ask.
"sure!"
Bu Dugen was captured alive, and the most critical step of the entire strategy had been completed, so naturally there was nothing that could not be made public.
"It's like this. Two months ago, the military advisor sent someone to deliver a message..."
Zhang Ren did not hold anything back and told the two of them all about Pang Tong's plan.
Pang Tong followed Han Xin's example and led his army back to Hanzhong from Liangzhou. He also came to build the plank road openly and secretly plotted against Chen Cang!
However, Han Xin secretly reached Chencang, while Pang Tong went directly into the hinterland of Guanzhong.
That's right, Pang Tong led his army to sneak into Ziwu Valley!
Two months ago, after Pang Tong told Liu Zhang his plan, Liu Zhang's first reaction was shock.
Although Xun You, Liu Ye and others were also shocked by Pang Tong's exaggerated strategy, their reaction was not as great as Liu Zhang's.
Liu Zhang did not expect that Wei Yan's Ziwu Valley conspiracy in history would eventually appear!
I thought that after setting the target of the Northern Expedition in Liangzhou, Ziwu Valley would no longer have room to develop.
Unexpectedly, there is a certain destiny!
Pang Tong brought him out again.
Liu Zhang didn't explain much and immediately nodded in agreement with Pang Tong's plan.
After Pang Tong left Qixian, he went directly to Jincheng to find Lu Su.
The Ziwu Valley is rugged and difficult to navigate, leaving little room for ordinary soldiers to perform.
But the barbarian soldiers who are good at fighting in the mountains and forests are just the opposite. They have lived in the mountains since childhood, and their ability to adapt to dangerous roads is obviously better than the Han soldiers of the Yizhou Army.
After informing him of all the plans, Lu Su immediately expressed his full support without any hesitation.
Not only did he mobilize 10,000 barbarian troops, he also handed over general Gan Ning to Pang Tong.
However, Pang Tong specifically asked Lu Su for someone, Wei Yan and Wei Wenchang.
This was not Pang Tong’s intention, but Liu Zhang’s special instruction before he left.
As for the specific reasons, Liu Zhang did not say much.
Liu Zhang just wanted to satisfy his regret. Historically, Wei Yan failed to lead his army to sneak across the Ziwu Valley.
Although the current Wei Yan is far less capable and knowledgeable than Wei Wenchang, the prefect of Hanzhong and General Zhenyuan in history.
But Liu Zhang was going to give Wei Yan this opportunity to make this regret come true!
For this extremely dangerous task, Pang Tong thought that Wei Yan, who was still young, would be afraid.
As a result, Wei Yan's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations.
There was no hesitation, there was even desire in the eyes!
Maybe Liu Zhang just did it unintentionally, but Wei Yan provided Pang Tong with great help along the way.
The Ziwu Road is more than 600 miles long, and the road is rugged and difficult to navigate.
Not only are there cliffs everywhere, there are countless plank roads, and the mountains are so steep that it is staggering!
The hardships and dangers along the way frightened the barbarian soldiers who lived in the mountains all year round and did not dare to try many difficult and dangerous roads.
At this moment, the dumbfounded Qing Weiyan stood up and showed fearless heroism.
Whenever encountering danger, he must take the lead, which greatly encouraged the entire barbarian army.
It can be said that the difficulty and danger of the entire Ziwu Road completely exceeded Pang Tong's expectations.
I originally thought that Liu Bang had walked through Ziwu Road four hundred years ago, and Wang Mang had repaired Ziwu Road two hundred years ago. Even though it was a bit difficult and dangerous, it would not scare people.
In fact, the opposite is true. Compared with the Ziwu Road, the Shu Road that Pang Tong walked before was completely at the pediatric level.
It wasn't until he led his army out of Ziwu Road and truly set foot on the land of Guanzhong that Pang Tong became frightened.
Fortunately, the weather was poor and it didn't rain for more than a month. Otherwise, Pang Tong would most likely have lost all his efforts!
It can only be said that God is on Liu Zhang’s side!
After leaving Ziwu Road, the city of Chang'an was in sight, and Pang Tong even had a chance to capture Chang'an directly.
However, Pang Tong did not take advantage of the situation and instead chose to cease all activities and hide the entire army.
The purpose of sneaking into Ziwu Valley was to catch him by surprise. How could Pang Tong lose the advantage he had worked so hard to gain?
Moreover, there are only 10,000 barbarian soldiers. If Chang'an is not captured, they will be completely exposed.
This means that Pang Tong and his 10,000-strong army went deep into the enemy's hinterland alone.
Even if 10,000 Xianbei cavalry returned, they could completely crush Pang Tong's army.
Even if Chang'an is captured, the ultimate goal will not be achieved.
When 10,000 people attack Chang'an, how can they guarantee that no one will be let go?
What Pang Tong wants is that the news will not be leaked at every step, so that he will always be in the dark.
Once Fuluohan and Kebi Neng in Qixian County know that the Yizhou Army has appeared in the hinterland of Guanzhong, they will definitely lead their troops back to support, and Pang Tong will only become a turtle in the urn!
Fortunately, Pang Tong had already thought about it and had thought of everything before setting off.
Quietly go to the direction of martial arts and join forces with Zhang Ren to attack from both front and back!
Completely solving Budugen, whose military strength was weak, was Pang Tong's first step.
There are 25,000 martial arts men. As long as this road is completely opened, Pang Tong will immediately receive 20,000 reinforcements.
A surprise attack on Chang'an by 30,000 people is enough to ensure that no fish in Chang'an city slip through the net!
Yan Yan and Wu Yi were stunned and amazed.
They didn't expect that Pang Tong, in his weak years, would have such a shocking plan!
Facts have proved that Pang Tong is a master of things and has everything under control.
If there are no accidents, taking Chang'an City is just around the corner!
"General Yan, General Wu, this is what happened."
Zhang Ren was still a little proud, after all, Pang Tong only told him.
Zhang Ren believed that he did not have much interaction with Pang Tong.
Why did Pang Tong believe in himself so much?
Maybe this was not what Pang Tong meant, but what Liu Zhang meant.
This shows that Liu Zhang's trust and recognition of Zhang Ren is at least more than that of Yan Yan and Wu Yi.
This is enough to make many people envious of it!
Yan Yan is one of the few generals in Yizhou who has ten thousand troops under his command.
Not to mention Wu Yi, Liu Zhang's uncle was almost considered Liu Zhang's confidant.
Especially Wu Yi's sister gave birth to a child for Liu Zhang.
"No wonder my lord praised Commander Pang as Feng Chu, he is indeed well-deserved!"
Yan Yan is not dissatisfied at all, he is quite satisfied with his current status.
Thinking about Zhao Wei and Huang Yin, who were both members of the Bajun family, how could Yan Yan be in such a mood!
"General Zhang, if you have any orders from Military Advisor Pang, just say it and we will definitely obey the general's orders!"
Wu Yi is even more incapable of emotions. He has already regarded Liu Zhang as a family member.
As the Yizhou Group prospers, the Wu family will rise accordingly!
"Okay! Please ask General Yan to lead his army and go with me to meet with Military Advisor Pang!"
Yan Yan had no objection and immediately accepted the order.
"As you command!"
"General Wu, after I and I leave, the defense of Wu Gong will be left to you!"
Wu Yi nodded seriously, not dissatisfied at all about staying behind.
"General Zhang, don't worry, as long as I'm here, your martial arts will be worry-free!"
