Chapter 198
Hearing Tian Feng’s words of resistance,
Yuan Shao’s face immediately darkened.
He stared at Tian Feng and said,”Yuan Hao, what’s the matter?”
Tian Feng quickly explained.
“My Lord, after Gu Changan rose to power, he always had a legitimate reason to attack any vassal.~~！”
“The one who attacked Nanyang County was Yuan Gonglu, who refused to obey the imperial edict and beat and drove away the imperial envoy!”
“The attack on Yanzhou was Cao Cao’s invasion of Xuzhou, in which he massacred five counties and killed tens of thousands of people!”
“The one who attacked Yizhou was Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou, who attempted to take advantage of the rebellion in Guanzhong and directly capture the city of Chang’an!”
“My Lord, if you provoke a dispute without reason and attack Youzhou, I am afraid it will provide an excuse for Gu Changan!”
After hearing what Tian Feng said, Yuan Shao couldn’t help but hesitate.
Xu You immediately stood up, glared at Tian Feng, and said
“My lord, we in Jizhou are different from them!”
“Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, and took over as governor of Youzhou himself. We are conquering him, which is a just way to defeat the unjust!”
“How could Gu Changan use this as an excuse?”
“As long as we don’t do that massacre, what excuse will Gu Changan have to attack our Jizhou!”
Yuan Shao nodded repeatedly after hearing this
“”Ziyuan, that makes sense!”
Yuan Shao saw that Tian Feng wanted to speak.
He quickly put on a straight face and said,”Yuanhao, you don’t have to say more, I have made up my mind!”
As Yuan Shao made up his mind.
They began to secretly gather troops, deploy troops and supplies, and formulate detailed battle plans. They also sent spies to survey the terrain and understand the enemy situation.
I’m afraid no one in the world would have thought that
Yuan Shao would raid Youzhou at this critical juncture.
Everyone’s attention was distracted by Gu Changan’s attack on Yizhou.
Gu Changan went on another expedition.
The wives and concubines of the general’s mansion were very worried.
But Gu Changan’s way of comforting them was very simple.
That is to output vigorously.
Soon everyone had no energy to worry about Gu Changan anymore.
Instead, they hoped that Gu Changan would leave quickly.
Only some pregnant wives and concubines hoped that Gu Changan would go and come back early.
They hoped that Gu Changan would be by their side when they gave birth to their children.
He did not reveal the specific strategy for the attack on Yizhou, but , he promised these wives and concubines that it would not be long before he would return triumphantly.
As Gu Changan’s orders were sent to various places.
The soldiers and horses that he had withdrawn began to gather in Chang’an City.
This time, Gu Changan will lead an army of 120,000, claiming to be 300,000, to conquer Yizhou.
On the day of the army’s expedition.
Emperor Liu Xie personally went to the top of the city to see off the soldiers who were about to go out.
On the walls of Chang’an City, flags fluttered, war drums sounded, and the atmosphere was solemn and dignified.
Emperor Liu Xie was wearing a dragon robe and a crown on his head, with a solemn and majestic look.
He stood high on the top of the city, overlooking the neatly lined soldiers.
However, in the eyes of these soldiers, there was only their general Gu Changan.
The appearance of the emperor did not cause the soldiers to fluctuate at all.
But when the general Gu Changan appeared on a war horse.
All the soldiers shouted in unison
“”Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!”
The voice shook the earth and echoed over the sky of Chang’an City.
Emperor Liu Xie saw this scene.
His hands tightly clasped the brick wall, and his nails cracked, but he seemed unaware.
As the farewell ceremony ended, the army left Chang’an City in a mighty manner and embarked on the journey under the gaze of Emperor Liu Xie.
The entire Chang’an City suddenly became much emptier.
But no one dared to be careless.
Because no one knew whether there were any spies of the Jinyiwei around them.
There are two main routes to attack Hanzhong from Chang’an City.
One is through the Qinling Mountains.
The Baoxiang Road.
Starting from Chang’an City, it goes south along the Weishui River Valley, passing through Huxian County, Zhouzhi County and other places.
Then turn east, enter the Qinling Mountains, and go along the Baoshui River Valley, passing through Taibai County, Liuba County and other places.
Continue east and cross the Shimen Plank Road (also known as the Baoxiang Plank Road).
This is a famous and steep mountain road and an important channel connecting Guanzhong and Hanzhong areas.
After passing the plank road, you will enter the Hanzhong Plain and finally arrive at Hanzhong City.
This is the closest road.
However, the Qinling plank road is steep and difficult to travel, which is generally not conducive to the movement of large armies.

Another way is through the Qishan Road.
Starting from Chang’an City, heading southwest, passing through Wugong County, Fufeng County and other places.
Then turn south, enter the Longshan Mountains, and move along the Weishui River Valley, passing through Qianyang County, Long County and other places.
Then turn east, enter the Qishan Mountains, and move along the Donghe River Valley, a tributary of the upper reaches of the Jialing River, passing through Li County, Xihe County and other places.
Finally, go east through the remnants of the Qishan Mountains, enter the Hanzhong Plain, and arrive near Hanzhong City.
This road is longer, but the terrain is relatively flat, suitable for large troops to march.
Gu Changan did this to conceal his tracks.
In addition, it was also to facilitate the transportation of food and fodder.
He chose to take the Qishan Road directly to Hanzhong.

However, after the army arrived in Fufeng, it took a short rest.
Gu Changan led an army of 30,000 and parted ways with the main force.
A young general with a height and weight similar to Gu Changan put on his armor.
He pretended to be Gu Changan in the army.
In fact, the entire army was led by Gao Shun.
This time, Gao Shun was transferred back from Nanyang County by Gu Changan.
Gao Shun led the army to attack Hanzhong City.
It was both a fake and a real thing.
Only if it is real enough can Liu Yan’s army be mobilized.
If Hanzhong can really be captured, everyone will be happy.
Among the 30,000 people led by Gu Changan, there are 10,000 Bubazi, 10,000 Xianzhenying, and 10,000 elite Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
Bubazi are mountain special forces. By then, there will be more than 700 miles of uninhabited area.���They are the vanguard.
After the Xianzhen Camp arrives in Jiangyou, they will become the main force of the infantry.
In the early stage, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry only had short Mongolian horses to use, mainly for carrying supplies.
When crossing the 700-li no-man’s land, horses cannot be used.
If they want to exert their combat power, they have to wait until they arrive in Jiangyou to seize the war horses.
However, Gu Changan is ready to cheat.
At that time, some resource cards can be used to obtain horses… ps:▄█ˉ█●Please, it’s on the shelves, please subscribe, flowers, evaluation tickets, rewards, comments! 六六.
