Traveling Through the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber: The Ming Zun Zhang Wuji

Chapter 544 Hanzhong surprise attack
Zhao Min stroked his chin and said, "Brother Wuji, do you mean Bashu?"

Zhang Wuji nodded at this time and said: "That's right, it's Bashu. As long as we can take Bashu, then we can connect Jingxiang and Guanzhong with Bashu. And as long as we take Bashu, which is a fertile field thousands of miles away, then we don't have to worry about food. "

At this time, Zhang Wuji took out a strategic map from his pocket, which was a strategic map that he had made with Zhang Dingbian and others when he was in Wuchang City.

After Zhang Wuji spread out the blueprint, he pointed to a place name on it and said, "That's right here. Our immediate priority is to take down Hanzhong! Then knock on the gate leading to Bashu."

Zhao Min stood beside Zhang Wuji at this time, then looked at the map carefully, and analyzed the current situation, she said: "If this is the case, the situation is still beneficial to us. We can come to a plank road to open up and hide the warehouse. Let General Li continued to encircle Chang'an City, pretending that we were going to attack Chang'an. Afterwards, we dispatched the Fan soldiers under Master's command to bypass Yangping Pass, leave Longxi and go straight to Hanzhong."

Zhang Wuji corrected at this time: "No! You are wrong, Minmin. We will withdraw General Li's troops, and then let our 15 soldiers go up. It would be great if we can capture Chang'an. It can contain the enemy. However, the Han troops under General Li, with light clothing, bypassed the Qishan Road and attacked Hanzhong City.”

Zhao Min asked puzzledly: "Why do you have to let General Li's Han army go?"

Zhang Wuji explained: "Hanzhong is already considered the hinterland of the Central Plains. Most of these Fanbing are from the Western Regions, or even from Khorizmo. Let alone the language barrier. And they are good at fighting in deserts and grasslands. They are not good at fighting in mountains."

"The road in Qishan is narrow and difficult, and the language is difficult. If they lose their way, they will be trapped in the mountains before they reach Hanzhong. Our goal this time is a surprise attack, so we have to spend more time in Qishan. It takes several circles. Therefore, it is safer to use the Han army."

Zhao Min nodded and said: "Yes! But in order to be absolutely safe, I suggest Brother Wuji that you go with the army to go around the mountains together."

Zhang Wuji smiled and said: "It's natural. There are inevitably some pass posts along the way. Apart from Wei Bawang, I am afraid that there are few people in the world who can match my lightness kung fu. It is most appropriate for me to lead the army in person."

Zhou Zhiruo looked at Zhang Wuji and asked, "Brother Wuji, is there anything we can do for you?"

Zhang Wuji cupped his hands and said in a greasy tone: "I hope that Your Majesty will continue to sit in the middle army to boost morale. I can do small things for you."

Hearing Zhang Wuji's joke, all the girls also laughed.

After everything was agreed upon, Zhang Wuji and others went back to their rooms to rest.

Today, Zhao Min's body was a little uncomfortable, so Xiao Zhao was the only one who accompanied Zhang Wuji.

As the saying goes, Xiao Bie is better than a newlywed, without Zhao Min to share, Xiao Zhao will be in both heaven and hell that night.

It wasn't until her body was directly paralyzed on him that Zhang Wuji hugged Xiao Zhao and fell asleep with satisfaction.

At the military meeting the next day, Zhang Wuji informed everyone of this plan.

Although everyone didn't understand very well, they still planned to carry out Zhang Wuji's order.So Zhang Wuji also started the mobilization of soldiers and horses.

Zhang Wuji sent cavalry messengers to station in Dunhuang, and all the Yumen soldiers were transferred to change defense with Li Siqi's Han army.

A month later, 10,000+ Fanbing finally drove to the city of Chang'an one after another.

And Zhang Liangbi, who was stationed in Chang'an City, saw the large-scale increase of the Ming army, and quickly sent someone to ask Ruyang King for help.

King Ruyang's army is now very scattered. On the one hand, they have to guard against Polo Timur in Taihang and other places.On the other hand, Jingluo, Qingxu and other places should be stationed separately to guard against Liu Futong, Zhang Shicheng, Zhu Yuanzhang and others.

Although some soldiers and horses were still mobilized to support Chang'an, it was more of a defensive posture and did not take the initiative to attack.

In order to paralyze Ruyang Wang and his son, Zhang Wuji handed over the command of this 10,000+ Fanbing to Li Siqi, and still let Li Siqi be the coach who captured Guanzhong.Let the opponent think that their offensive intention is still Chang'an City.

Zhang Wuji also used more than a month of transferring troops and changing defenses to reorganize Li Siqi's Han army and his own army.

Zhang Wuji planned to divide his troops into two groups, and let him lead the troops to attack Hanzhong by bypassing the Qishan trail.On the other side, Li Qisi's adopted son Zhao Qi led troops to attack Yangping Pass from the front.

Of course, Zhao Qi was still a suspicious soldier along the way, in order to make the Mongols paralyzed, thinking that he was going to attack Yangping by force, but he never thought that the real formidable ones were the surprise soldiers led by Zhang Wuji himself.

Finally, after more than a month, everything is finally ready.Zhang Wuji led elite soldiers and went deep into Qishan Mountain with more than a month's dry food.

And Zhao Qi also led his troops to set out to attack Yangping Pass.

Originally, during the gap of more than a month, Zhou Zhiruo planned to let Zhang Wuji fulfill his promise to the Yellow Shirt Girl and marry the Yellow Shirt Girl.

Because when he was in Persia, Zhang Wuji had promised Huang Shannv that when he returned to the Central Plains and Zhongnan Mountain, the two of them would marry in front of the portrait of the patriarch Lin Chaoying in the ancient tomb.

But Zhang Wuji did not agree to Zhou Zhiruo.He believes that the immediate priority is to seize Hanzhong and Guanzhong.He also wants to lead the troops there himself.

The marriage with the woman in yellow, and her marriage, can't be discussed until after the war is over.

Although Zhang Wuji and everyone did not perform the ceremony of husband and wife, but the imperial seals have also been in their hands, and it is not too late to get married in the future.

And Xiao Zhao also planned to go with Zhang Wuji and serve him with him.

But Zhang Wuji also rejected Xiao Zhao, after all he was going to drill a ravine this time, and he was still bringing a group of big men with him.It would be very inconvenient to bring such a flowery and jade-like daughter-in-law like Xiao Zhao with her.

After bidding farewell to everyone, Zhang Wuji led more than 1 people around the Qishan Trail for nearly half a month.

First, the road is narrow and rough.The second is that there are too many of them, so they can only advance in batches.Therefore, the speed of travel is very slow.

Fortunately, the team led by Zhang Wuji is an elite with a solid foundation in martial arts. Otherwise, if he took this dangerous road, he would have lost more than half of the team before reaching the city of Hanzhong.

But despite this, Zhang Wuji's troops still suffered some losses.

When Zhang Wuji came to the Hanzhong Plain after going round and round, there were less than 9000 of his troops still capable of fighting.

Among them, more than 100 people were killed in ravines and cliffs, and more than 500 people were injured to varying degrees.There are also some people who are not acclimatized to the environment, or who always eat dry food, have stomach discomfort, vomiting and diarrhea, and Zhang Wuji placed them in the rear to recuperate.

Fortunately, everyone came out of the mountains.Although there is not much food left, it is still enough to feed the whole army for seven days.
