    However, Xue Song still made some explanations and said: "Tao Shijun, this is of two different natures from the battle between Shu and Wei. Xinuoluo is here to plunder. Therefore, we dare not hold on for long. Moreover, we are attacking Jishi Mountain. Now we have  Maybe Xinuoluo hasn't heard the news yet. The street pavilion may not be easy to defend, but as long as it lasts for two or three days, Xinuoluo's army will be blocked and he will naturally retreat when he hears the news from Jishi Mountain. " This is to force Xinuoluo to retreat.  logic.  Of course it's not as simple as forcing it back.  But Xue Song did not need to explain to Tao Hanming.  "But why set up an ambush at the street pavilion?" From Minzhou to Qinzhou, there are two directions to enter Qinzhou.  The first one starts from the south of Longxi County, which was later Wushan County, and goes straight east to Qinzhou.  However, the southern part of Wushan County belongs to the western end of the northern slope of the Qinling Mountains. The entire terrain is high in the west and low in the east, and high in the south and low in the north.  Therefore, Wudang County is the chokepoint of the Silk Road. However, the Silk Road starts from Wudang County, but tilts slightly to the northwest, and has nothing to do with the southern region.  There are roads, but they are all small and narrow. It is very inconvenient for a large army to march, and it will only delay time.  Therefore, it can only be raised from the northeast, inserted directly into the middle of Longxi County, and then turned eastward towards Qinzhou.  This road is a bright one.  Now that Qinzhou's twelve states are empty of troops, Xinuoluo naturally chose this path.  But strictly speaking, Jieting is located slightly to the north and west of Qinzhou. Even if we attack Qinzhou, according to common sense, we will not reach Jieting.  So Tao Hanming was just a scholar. He could only see the roads on the map, but he could not see the military significance of the roads.  Normally, one would not go to the street pavilion, but Xinolo came to rob.  Now that Qinzhou's troops are empty, in order to expand his harvest, he must occupy the street pavilion.  The location of the street pavilion is an open river valley, extending in all directions, with dangerous mountains in the north and south. It is a strategic location that can be attacked when advancing and defended when retreating.  As long as the street pavilion is occupied, the common people, merchants and wealthy people who are escaping to the north can be stopped, or the roads in the street pavilion are well developed, and a force can be sent southeast to insert into the back of Qinzhou to increase the harvest of plunder.  "And once the imperial court sends reinforcements and Qinzhou is occupied by Xinuoluo, they must pass through Jieting and go southwest down, cutting off Xinuoluo's return route. Then Xinuoluo may be in a dangerous position.  Although this possibility is extremely small, he is going deep alone. Once he captures Qinzhou, he will be very far away from Jishi Mountain.  He couldn't ignore this concern.  But as long as the street pavilion is occupied, it is equivalent to a two-pronged approach to guard against all incoming dangers.  So when Zhuge Liang attacked Wei, the three cities of Nan'an, Anding, and Tianshui came down. Tianshui is now Qinzhou.  But Zhuge Liang did not send troops to guard Tianshui, but sent Ma Di to lead an army of 50,000 to guard the street pavilion.  While the street pavilion in front was lost, Zhuge Liang immediately ordered the people of the three cities to retreat to Hanzhong.  Tianshui will be cut into an isolated city at any time. If it cannot be defended, it is better not to defend it.  This is the military value of the street pavilion.  This was something Wang Hua discussed repeatedly with the generals in the military camp.  If Xinuoluo was Chang Yuankai, he might have directly attacked Qinzhou.  This time the blood camp was doing nothing but useless work.  But just because Xinolo is a wise man, before attacking Qinzhou, the first step will be to seize this strategic location.  Of course, in order to get Tao Hanming to cooperate, Xue Song also took the trouble to explain to him.  It took a long time for Tao Hanming to understand a little bit.  But Xue Song changed the topic and said: "However, there may be an accident, because Qinzhou's military strength is now empty, and it is possible that the Xinuoluo troops will be divided into two groups, one to capture the street pavilion, and the other to attack Qinzhou." Hearing Xinuoluo's troops.  He was about to attack Qinzhou, and Tao Hanming's face turned ugly again.  "But Tao Shijun, please rest assured. This time we will not use the blood camp flag, we may use the flag of a certain army of the imperial court. Even if he attacks Qinzhou, I believe you will not be unable to hold it for a day or two. As long as you hold it  Two days later, he heard that heavy troops had been stationed in Jieting. He could either retreat to Minzhou or send heavy troops to capture Jieting. The latter option was very likely and the siege of Qinzhou would be relieved.  "Place the army on the main road?" Tao Hanming was referring to the main road from Wushan to Qinzhou.  "Tao Shijun, it's not that simple. This is the Silk Road. There are many merchants coming and going. If there is an army in front, the news will reach Xinolo's ears behind. Without the effect of the surprise army, he will also come up with other strategies. In this way, only  We are forced to confront them head-on. But this is not in Bazhou. We don¡¯t bring many soldiers. If we fight head-on, we can only choose to set up an ambush at the street pavilion.¡±  If you don¡¯t understand it anymore, you are just a pig.  ¡°Then they cooperated very well, sending weapons and supplies, and at the same time sent people to block the news. Of course, they also gathered the meager troops they could. Even the government officials rushed to the front line and began to prepare to defend the city.  Of course?He also knew that cooperating with the Blood Camp would cause dissatisfaction from some people in the court, but it was better than letting the Tubo invade the city and become prisoners.  He even rode his horse to the street pavilion to take a look.  But after seeing it, I was shocked again.  The Blood Camp brought 5,000 soldiers, and 4,000 soldiers set up camp on Broken Mountain, with Lianhechuan below, and then sent another 1,000 soldiers to garrison Jiecheng.  Although he didn't know much about military affairs, he also knew that this layout was exactly what Ma Su had planned.  Moreover, Ma Di insisted on the doctrine of military writings and believed that he was superior. He stationed 50,000 troops on Duanshan Mountain, which led to Zhang He cutting off the waterway. The Shu army was in chaos without fighting. Duanshan and Lianhechuan became Ma Di's 50,000 Shu army.  Burial place.  Regardless of the feud between the Blood Camp and the imperial court, once the Blood Camp is defeated, Qinzhou City will be destroyed immediately. Tao Hanming immediately rides his horse in a hurry to find Xue Song, who is directing Anza's ambush, and says anxiously: "General Xue, you  You can¡¯t camp like this.¡±  "Three Kingdoms", why is it arranged like this?  "Soldiers have no permanent strategy, and water has no permanent shape. A successful move in the past can lead to a great defeat tomorrow. A great defeat in the past can lead to a successful success tomorrow. Tao Shijun, you should be busy with your work. If we defend the street pavilion  , But your Qinzhou can't hold on for half a day, this move is still in vain, and tens of thousands of people in Qinzhou City will suffer disaster. He can't even think about capturing the street pavilion." Tao Hanming either believed or doubted it.  Well, history books have recorded Ma Di's mistakes and proved them with living examples.  Say you don¡¯t believe it, the record of the Blood Camp was also achieved.  I left feeling uneasy.  In fact, there is a difference. Ma Di has 50,000 people and Xue Song has 4,000 people. Zhang He can afford the time, but Xinuoluo has no time to wait.  And there are a series of ingenious arrangements surrounding Broken Mountain.  At the same time, it also sounded the second death knell for the Xinolo army.  Xue Song arranged it at the street pavilion, and the third one was arranged.  Even if Xinuoluo retreats, he may not necessarily follow the path Wang Hua wants Xinuoluo to take, so Wang Hua must make some arrangements to let Xinuoluo follow his command.  But these arrangements cannot be imposed by force. Xinuoluo's two groups of nearly 90,000 troops are not vegetarians.  At the same time, he must be very clever. This is a very smart general. Once he realizes that something is wrong, he will forcefully break out of the encirclement and retreat to Jishi Mountain through a road that Wang Hua does not want him to go.  So Wang Hua made some arrangements again.  The first way is for the two armies to reunite in Taozhou and withdraw to Jishi Mountain. This is obviously impossible.  Once Xinuoluo knew that the Blood Camp was starting to attack him, Taozhou was very close to Hezhou, and he had to cross the Taoshui River, the Yellow River, and some mountains. He also brought countless captured baggage and people with him. This trip was far and dangerous.  The second road is to evacuate to Diezhou. To the west, just go over Xiqing Mountain and reach Jishi Mountain. In addition to some rugged mountain roads, this road is very close to Jishi Mountain and is also very safe.  But it was exactly what Wang Hua wanted.  There is another road. Xinuoluo's army goes south to join Afzan's army, rushes to Wuzhou, crosses the Qiang River and enters Shu.  This road is very smooth, and it was also the old road used by Marquis Wu to conquer Wei.  But Zhuge Liang's choice of this path caused a lot of controversy in history. This is why before the expedition, Wei Yan proposed the strategy of leaving the Ziwu Valley and surprise Chang'an. He asked Zhuge Liang to give him five thousand soldiers, which was Ziwu among the famous five ways of entering Shu from Chang'an.  Road, and then asked Zhuge Liang to take the flatter Baoxie Road at that time to join together and capture Chang'an in one fell swoop.  But Zhuge Liang refused because he "thought this was in danger, so it would be better to take the easy road and take Longyou in an even way, and everything would be defeated without any danger."  We cannot deny Zhuge Liang's military prowess. What a strategic vision he had in dividing the world into three parts when he was still young. He captured Meng Huo seven times and used weak Shu to defeat strong Wei until Wei could only fight back. What an amazing performance this is?  But compared with his strategic vision, his tactical talent was slightly inferior, let alone his ability to govern the country.  During the decades he ruled the Shu Kingdom, the country was peaceful and the people were safe, the weather was smooth, and he conquered Wei many times. The country was not hindered, and the people did not complain. Based on this, I am afraid Xiao He would have to give in to him, and his character would be enough.  Among the top five famous prime ministers in China, but the tactical vision is indeed poor, not bad, not bad, compared to Li Jing and others, at least the distance from Shanghai to Beijing is worse.  Is it wrong to choose Wu Hou this time?  Wrong. At that time, Wei Yan said: "I heard that Xia Hou Mao Shao, my master's son-in-law, is timid and has no plan. Today, Yan Yan has five thousand elite soldiers and five thousand grains. He will go straight out of Baozhong, follow the Qinling Mountains to the east, and go north at Ziwu, but  We can reach Chang'an in ten days. When Mao hears that Yan is about to arrive, he will flee to Chang'an by boat.There are only censors and prefects of Jingzhao among them. Hengmen's mansions and scattered people's valleys are enough for Zhou's food.  It will take more than twenty days to gather together in the east, and the Duke will be able to reach it if he comes from Xiegu.  In this way, the west of Xianyang can be settled in one fell swoop." "Is this the case? Looking back now, it is the case. Although the Ziwu Road is dangerous and difficult to travel, Wei Yan has been in Hanzhong for a long time. How can he not be familiar with the Ziwu Road?  Xiang Wanghua is in Shanhe. Are you familiar with Taozhou and Weizhou? Besides, will the Wei army set up an ambush?  "Wei Lue" clearly records: In the beginning, the country (referring to Cao Wei) only had Liu Bei in Shu. Since Bei died, he had been silent for several years, so he was unprepared. When the news of his death came out, the government and the public were afraid.  Wu Hou's first Northern Expedition was very concealed and sudden. The Wei State was not prepared at all in terms of military supplies or even mentally. How could it be possible to conquer a valley hundreds of kilometers long with desolate people, lofty mountains, and hundreds of kilometers long?  Will Xia Houmao escape or resist? The same character is also recorded in "Wei Lue". Cao Cao's son-in-law is a typical useless playboy. Wei Yan knows this person well, so  It is judged that his escape is completely justified. The third point is that without the support of Longyou, is it necessary to capture Chang'an and defend the city alone? This is also the reason why Zhuge Liang attacked Wei and captured Longyou.  If the general is still there, he can recruit the Hu Qiang from Guanxi to help him. The main force led by Zhuge Liang and Wei Yan respectively join forces with the partial forces at Tongguan, and then Wei Yan cooperates with Zhuge Liang to seize Longyou. In this way, the 800-mile Qinchuan and the west of Xianyang can indeed be "decided in one fell swoop".  . In fact, there is a precedent for Wei Yan's plan. During the Chu and Han Dynasties, Han Xin was a general who built a plank road openly and secretly attacked Chencang. The main force left Tongguan and divided his army to cross Longshan and cooperate with the army from Hanzhong to Qishan to form a pincer offensive.  Right. Emperor Gaozu ordered the Three Qin Dynasties to conquer Guanzhong in one fell swoop. Wei Yan's plan was based on Han Xin's strategy, and his bravery was too great for such a fierce general, but he used Ma Su, who Liu Bei had warned could not be used.  , It is right to seek stability. He has the responsibility of a country and has to be cautious. However, marching and fighting are inherently good and odd. What's more, the Shu Kingdom is not as powerful as the Wei Kingdom and does not have the capital to steadily advance with a large army.  . Or is it safe? Wei Yan failed with only 5,000 men, but Ma Su lost 50,000 men. Even Wei Yan himself, Zhuge Liang, did not reflect on it afterwards. Before he died, he gave an order, "If Yan fails, the army will be destroyed."  Then spontaneously.  "This spontaneous sentence did not ask Shu to kill Wei Yan, but just to be careful of Wei Yan. But precisely because of this sentence, Yang Yi and Wei Yan began to fight, and both the civil and military talents fled, destroying the two pillars of Shu.  But it was not rebellion? Later, countless people proved that Wei Yan did not have any intention to rebel. He was superior to Yang Yi in official rank and had no need to obey Yang Yi's command. He burned the plank road just to protect himself and returned to Chengdu to report the whole story to Zhuge Liang.  Even Jiang Wan and Dong Yun instigated that Wei Yan was "suspected of rebelling" and killed a generation of famous generals. Later, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" added another fire, making Wei Yan invisible in the hearts of people who didn't know the truth.  Turn over. In fact, Wei Yan is talented and likes to use strange soldiers, which makes Zhuge Liang uncomfortable. This is inevitable, but it only aggravates Zhuge Liang's doubts.  Asked whether the famous general Zhao Yun was reused in Zhuge Liang's hands. Fortunately, it has been proved that Wei Yan, the young general Liu Bei personally promoted, might be Liu Rengui and Su Dingfang, who was left alive by Zhuge Liang to kill him. So this is  A sad road. But because of the whole strategy, this ancient road had to be put on Wang Hua's desk. There are two roads back to Jishi Mountain on this road. The first road is from Fuzhou, which is what became known as the road.  Jiuzhaigou enters the defensive area of ??Misang, and goes straight to the back of Jishi Mountain. This is also a safe road, although it is not easy to walk, but it can avoid the Xueying army in front of Jishi Mountain.  With a large amount of baggage and people, it is very likely that they will take this road. The second route is further south, and the road should be wider, Songzhou. But in this way, Songzhou must be conquered, otherwise it will be impossible to cross the Songfan Swamp.  This is the grassland where the Red Army later passed. But now there is a great man in Songzhou, the governor of Songzhou, Sun Renxian. This is a civil servant who has only been in Songzhou for more than a year. However, during this period of more than a year, he came to plunder.  The Tubo suffered a lot, but the battle was not big and did not attract the attention of the court, but it was impossible for Wang Hua and Xinuoluo to ignore it.  Prisoner, confronting this ignorant Sun Renxian doesn't seem to be Xinolo's style. Therefore, this path can be ignored.p; Moreover, Songzhou is not under the jurisdiction of Qinzhou, so there are not many troops deployed.  This made Xinolo have to think carefully when choosing the retreat route.  In fact, this road does not need to be considered. Whether it is from Fuzhou or Songzhou, it must pass through Wuzhou.  Only Wuzhou could not leave, and Xinuoluo finally gave up the choice of entering Shu due to time constraints.  But Wuzhou was also empty of troops and Fuzhou was a small state, so Wang Hua had no choice but to focus on Sun Renxian.  Song Yi'an came to Songzhou City and asked to see Sun Renxian.  Because of the incident involving Zada ??Yanlei, Song Yi'an was now famous in the Tang Dynasty.  Even the storyteller mentioned this lobbyist many times in the novel.  Sun Renxian was also curious and immediately ordered someone to let him in to see what this lobbyist who had deceived Zadayan into recognizing him looked like.  The man came in. He was very thin, but he was wearing a Confucian shirt, but he was very neat and tidy.  Sun Renxian felt funny and asked: "Are you Wei Kong?" Song Yi'an laughed and said: "I deceived Zadayan, so I used the false name Wei Kong. But I came here today to meet the envoy honestly.  So use my real name." "Oh, why are you here to be honest?" "I am here to ask Governor Sun for help for the sake of the people captured in Mintao Prefecture and the dignity of the Tang Dynasty.  "You still have the dignity of the Tang Dynasty in the bloody camp? It seems that nearly a hundred thousand Tang Dynasty soldiers are still alive at the foot of Kuizi Mountain and Langao Mountain. Why do you care about the safety of thousands of Tang Dynasty people?"  ?" Sun Renxian said with great sarcasm.  "Captain Sun, if these tens of thousands of soldiers do not die, are we Blood Camp soldiers allowed to lower their heads like idiots one by one and be beheaded by the imperial court? Not only the imperial court beheaded, but also the Turks and Tubo people beheaded, and then  Let the people loot the Tibetan people and the Turks. Governor Sun, I am asking to see you in my real name, so I will be honest with you. If Governor Sun doesn't even understand the rights and wrongs here, I will have no choice but to go back and loot the Tubo people.  It's just a few states of Qin, what does it have to do with the eight states?" After Song Yi'an finished speaking, he immediately stood up.  But Sun Renxian is not angry either. He is a capable person, but it is a pity that the court has been neglecting him.  He stretched out his hand. Although he was also a civil servant, Sun Renxian was more similar to Xiao Song and Zhang Xiaosong. He was very strong. Unfortunately, he just pulled him, and Song Yian obediently asked him to sit on the chair.  Then Sun Renxian said: "I don't care what you want to do, but I ask you, isn't it true that hundreds of thousands of soldiers were captured or killed?" "Captain Sun, since you asked this, I will tell you. This battle  , if our battalion commander had not given the order to save the lives of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, do you think that there would be so many prisoners who survived and served as soldiers, and they would have been prepared to sacrifice themselves on the battlefield at any time? Soldiers are soldiers, and people are people. How could it be that Governor Sun.  , don¡¯t you understand the difference at all?¡± That makes sense. Sun Renxian laughed and asked, ¡°So, what do you want me to do for you?¡± []
