"As far as we know, in order to get to Wancheng, in addition to taking the Danshui River Valley, there is actually a mountain path used by woodcutter."

"This mountain trail is to the east of Wuguan. Although it is difficult to walk, it may not be impossible for the old people of Wudang Camp led by Mo General."

(Note: This is the second half of Wuguan Road that was changed after the Tang Dynasty)

"The reputation of the Zhongdu Protector is astonishing throughout the world, and everyone in the world has heard of the power of the Zhongdu Protector. As long as the thieves know that this time it is the Zhongdu Protector who personally leads the troops to attack Caoqiao Pass, the Wancheng thieves will definitely come to the rescue with all their strength."

"When Wancheng is empty, the last general will only need to lead three thousand elite troops to the gates of Wancheng, and he will be able to defeat it with one blow."

When Feng Duhu heard this, his heart moved.

If Lu Xun personally led the troops to attack Xiangyang, or even captured Xiangyang, Meng Yan's plan may seem dangerous, but in fact it is very reliable.

only……

Feng Duhu finally shook his head:

"This is the best policy, but the time has not yet come. At this time, when the Han Dynasty takes Wancheng, it is in danger of being attacked from both sides, so it is better to leave it in the hands of the Wei thieves for the time being."

Without Wancheng, Xuchang would be frightened and would definitely fight back with all its strength.

Who knows what Lu Xun from Xiangyang will think at that time?

Without Xiangyang, Wancheng is useless.

But the Wei thieves had no choice but to defend it.

Because once Wancheng is lost, Xuchang will be waiting for troops to attack the city at any time.

Even if they don't attack the city, the enemy soldiers who appear from time to time to march under the city are enough to make it difficult for the people inside the city to sleep and eat well.

As for the future, if the Han war in Hebei goes smoothly and the demise of Wei is a foregone conclusion, Wu will definitely take advantage of it.

Crossing the water from Xiangyang to the north to capture Wancheng and even reach Xuchang is a huge temptation that is difficult to resist.

When the time comes, Cao Shuang, who has nowhere to go, will inevitably have to fight with Wu Guo in Wancheng...

"So this time we should not divide our forces and just attack Caoqiao Pass with all our strength."

"As for this dangerous road, let's save it for now and just pay attention to it on weekdays."

From Wuguan, you can take this dangerous road to Nanyang, but coming from Nanyang, you still have to pass through Wuguan in the end.

Therefore, as long as the martial pass is not lost, this dangerous road poses no threat to Guanzhong.

The Central Protectorate has deduced many times whether to take Wancheng or not, and the situation we will face after taking Wancheng.

Feng Duhu simply explained to the two of them that it was still necessary to do a good job of unifying their thoughts before the war.

Sure enough, after hearing Feng Duhu's explanation, Meng Yan, who was a little disappointed, was immediately convinced:

"See you, the Protector of the Central Government!"

"What advice can I have? This is all a result of the joint efforts of everyone in the Central Protectorate and the collective thoughts of everyone."

Feng Duhu waved his hand, "Just like this time, if I want to achieve success, I need to rely on two generals."

These words were pleasant to hear. When General Jumeng heard the words, his face turned a little red and he even stopped breathing.

"Since Xiaoxing said that Wuguan Road may be flooded by flash floods during this season, I would like to send 5,000 troops as the vanguard to open roads in the mountains and build bridges when encountering water."

Feng Duhu took the opportunity and said:

"I wonder which one of you two is willing to take on this important task?"

The two of them were feeling a little agitated when they heard Feng Duhu's words and clasped their fists in unison:

"The general will go where he wishes!"

Seeing the two of them like this, Feng Duhu smiled and said, "This is really embarrassing for me."

His eyes turned around the two of them a few times before he spoke again:

"General Meng has been in Nanzhong for a long time and is familiar with the mountains. General Ju, why not give this opportunity to General Meng?"

Hearing what Zhongduhu said, although Jufu was a little disappointed, he could only reply:

"What Zhongduhu said is very reasonable, and I am willing to follow it."

When the Prime Minister was on his southern expedition, Feng Duhu passed through Zhuti County. When he saw Gofu for the first time, he thought he was quite talented and recommended him personally.

After the Northern Expedition, Feng Duhu was entrusted with important tasks after his military exploits, and he never forgot to promote him.

Therefore, both in the eyes of outsiders and in Jufu's own mind, he was considered a direct descendant of Feng Duhu.

Since they are direct descendants, there is definitely no need to worry about being mistreated.

What's more, if you follow the Central Protector on an expedition, why worry about not having the chance to make meritorious deeds?

Meng Yan, on the other hand, said loudly and excitedly:

"The final general will definitely live up to the trust entrusted by the Central Protector!"

"In that case, the matter is settled. General Meng, go to the camp and select the soldiers who are familiar with the mountain roads. Once you are ready, set off immediately."

"Here!"

There is naturally a reason to let Meng Yan be the striker.

In addition to coming to Mengyan to be familiar with the mountains, there is another reason.

That is, among the defenders of Wuguan, there are also some soldiers who are also from the Wudang Army in Nanzhong.

It is naturally more convenient to let Meng Yan lead these people as the vanguard than Jufu.

Jufu and Meng Yan, especially Jufu, are generals who can leave their names in history books, and their abilities are naturally trustworthy.

In addition, some of the defenders they led were still from the Nanxiang Army.

After receiving the military order, Wuguan immediately started operating at high speed.

However, the Wei army, which was hundreds of miles away in Caoqiao Pass, never dared to relax in the slightest while facing the direction of Guanzhong.

On the second day after Meng Yan set off with 5,000 troops, the Caoqiao Pass guard received news of the Han army's movements in Wuguan.

After confirming that the Han army is coming towards Caoqiao Pass along Wuguan Road, the Caoqiao Pass guard will send messengers as quickly as possible to send the news to Wancheng.

Two days later, Guan Qiujian, the governor of Jingzhou in Wei State who was personally stationed in Xiangyang, received the news and let out a long breath:

"finally come!"
Chapter completed!
