Chapter 46 The troops leave Ziwu Road(2/2)
Chang'an is a big city. Can Wei Yan, with only five thousand soldiers, be able to defend Chang'an City?
There is also the reaction of the Cao Wei regime.
Once Chang'an fell, Luoyang would definitely send troops to rescue it. Later history proved that Cao Wei's response was very fast.
Luoyang is not far from Guanzhong. The Wei army will reach Chang'an within half a month at full speed.
Want to stop the Wei army from entering Guanzhong.
Wei Yan needed to send troops to capture Tongguan, but Wei Yan only had 5,000 soldiers. He had to defend Chang'an and split his troops to capture Tongguan.
Of course, some people say that Wei Yan's purpose was not to capture Chang'an, but to capture Tongguan.
Even so, according to Wei Yan's plan, he gave Zhuge Liang twenty-one days to lead his troops to Chang'an or Tongguan to join him.
On the twenty-first day, can Zhuge Liang lead tens of thousands of troops from Longyou and march thousands of miles into Guanzhong?
Are the Wei troops in Guanzhong all tool men?
They will definitely stop Zhuge Liang.
Once Zhuge Liang is held back by the Wei army, Wei Yan will fight alone and will soon be taken over by the Wei army. As a result, the Shu army failed to capture Guanzhong and instead lost 5,000 elite soldiers and one general.

Of course, even if Zhuge Liang goes to Chang'an or Tongguan City as promised on the 21st, everything will not be fine for the Shu army, because Cao Wei cannot just sit back and watch Guanzhong being lost, and will definitely send a large army to rescue Guanzhong.
The passes into Guanzhong are not only Tongguan, but also Wuguan in the southeast. Cao Wei can send troops into Guanzhong to fight against the Shu army.
And more importantly, Cao Wei has a large number of cavalry. Once the Shu army led by Zhuge Liang encounters the Wei cavalry in the Guanzhong Plain, the Shu army will most likely be annihilated.
Liu Chan had seen many of these discussions in his previous life, and those who objected cited the example of Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang in the late Ming Dynasty, who once walked through Ziwu Road and ended in failure.
But Liu Chan has now traveled through time. If he doesn't want to become the Adou who cannot be supported by history, what he needs to do now is to break the situation.
When the soldiers left Ziwu Road, he started planning not long after he crossed over. He trained the forty-two imperial guards three years ago just for this day.
Ziwu Road is located in Qinling Mountains, and the road is difficult and dangerous.
Therefore, the most important part of Liu Chan's training for them was mountain climbing, and Guo Wei and the others spontaneously started training in rock climbing.
Later, when they separated to train their own soldiers, Liu Chan also specifically mentioned to them that mountain climbing training was the first required subject.
The purpose is to allow them to adapt to crossing the mountains in advance so that they can complete Liu Chan's plan to send troops to the Ziwu Road in the future.
Now is the time.
After a year of training, the soldiers have already mastered the ability to cross mountains. Now that Zhuge Liang has arrived at Qishan, Liu Chan naturally knows the importance of this Northern Expedition.
Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition.
Only success is allowed and failure is not allowed.
Only in this way can Liu Chan's Han Dynasty make a comeback, or break the situation.
Therefore, Liu Chan decided.
The soldiers came out of Ziwu Road——
