After Ma Long and Qian Hong led the Ruiqi Camp and Zuowei Camp, Deng Ai immediately began to arrange the Yueqi Camp to first enter the camp and seize the camp.

All three routes of people were personally commanded by Deng Ai, and Deng Ai had already arranged the route of attack. Yueqi Camp would march from the Xigu, first climbing the camp and going to Luogu, while trapping the camp and Ziwugu.

When it comes to Ziwu Valley, we naturally have to mention the strange plan of Ziwu Valley, Wei Yan, the prefect of Hanzhong, Shu Kingdom.

Ziwu Valley is the most steepest among the several valleys connecting Guanzhong and Hanzhong. The north entrance is in the southwest of Chang'an, called Zikou, and the south entrance is in Shiquan County, Hanzhong, called Wukou. Zigu and Wugu are combined and are called Ziwu Valley.

The steepness of Ziwu Valley is the most difficult among all Qinling valley roads. There are cliffs everywhere, the canyons are deep, the plank roads are connected, and birds and beasts are extinct. In addition, the weather is strange and unpredictable, Ziwu Valley has always been rarely visited and few people can pass through.

The main reason why Wei Yan planned to send troops from Ziwu Valley was that the exit of Ziwu Valley was near Chang'an. Taking advantage of the opportunity of Wei's relaxation in the Guanzhong area, he attacked the city of Chang'an in one fell swoop. At that time, the son-in-law Xiahou Shi was the son-in-law Xiahou Shi, who was the son-in-law Xiahou Dun's son, but he did not have the ability of Xiahou Dun. The typical son of Gaoliang was able to sit in the position of General Anxi, the general governor of Anxi. He had no martial arts in nature, but liked the way of health preservation and advocated the art of cultivating immortals.

That's why Wei Yan boldly proposed to launch a surprise attack on Chang'an from Ziwu Valley and capture Chang'an and Tongguan in one fell swoop. Zhuge Liang could lead the main army to march from Baoxie Road, attack from both directions and capture Guanzhong.

It has to be said that Wei Yan's plan is extremely creative and adventurous. If it is successful, Shu will completely conquer Guanzhong. Just like the story of Liu Bang, you will be able to hold the capital to dominate the world, and then unite with Wu, destroy Wei, and restore the Han Dynasty. That is just around the corner.

But Zhuge Liang was always cautious and believed that Wei Yan's plan was too risky. If he failed, Shu would suffer a heavy blow. It would be better for him to march from Qishan Avenue and fight steadily, first take Longyou, then Guanzhong, and advance to attack and retreat to defend, so he rejected Wei Yan's plan.

Later, after this plan leaked, the Wei State was shocked and sweated all over, quickly replaced Xiahou Wei, and at the same time strengthened the garrison in Chang'an and Tongguan. The Wei army's plan to attack Ziwu Valley completely died.

After Zhuge Liang's five troops were sent, he did not choose to march from Ziwu Valley. Moreover, after Jiang Wei succeeded, he used troops many times, and they were concentrated in the Longxi area. Not to mention Ziwu Valley, even the Tangluo Road and Baoxi Road were never gone. The desolate Ziwu Valley was still deserted and no one cared about.

However, the excellent geographical location of Ziwu Valley makes it the most convenient channel connecting Chang'an and Hanzhong. Deng Ai's plan to attack Shu this time was to choose Ziwu Road. If everything goes well, the camp will become the first Wei army to appear in Hanzhong.

The reason why Deng Ai chose to march from Ziwu Road was that in addition to Deng Ai himself being a master who was good at using surprise weapons, the Shu army's defense system in Hanzhong undoubtedly also supported his adventurous actions.

Jiang Wei's plan to gather troops and gather valleys had already withdrawn the main force of the Shu army to the hinterland of Hanzhong. After Yan Yu took office, he even removed all the sporadic people and horses outside the Shu army. In fact, no matter which route the Wei army took, there was actually no big problem. There was no need to consider that the Shu army would block the Shu army halfway.

The only thing that needs to be considered is the question of which road is easy to walk and which road is difficult to walk. However, this is obviously not what Deng Ai considered. There is almost no Qinling Valley Road that is easy to walk, and it is almost the same. The main reason why Deng Ai chose Ziwu Road, Tangluo Road and Baoxie Road is that the exits of these three roads correspond to Lecheng, Nanzheng and Seoul, which means that after the Wei army entered Hanzhong, they could directly attack the three cities guarded by the Shu army. The shortest distance was Deng Ai's first choice.

Of course, even if the advance information has fully understood the defense situation in Hanzhong, Deng Ai will still adopt relatively stable tactics when sending troops. Before each team set off, he will send two to three thousand vanguard troops to attack outposts. These vanguard troops composed of the most elite will assume the responsibility of reconnaissance of the enemy, clearing the way across mountains, and building bridges across water, creating good conditions for the subsequent troops to advance.

Under normal circumstances, the vanguards set out three days earlier and constantly convey the information ahead to the troops behind, while the vanguards set out five days earlier. As a pioneer, their main task is to repair the roads. Obviously, their task is more arduous than other vanguards.

At least there are often people passing through Baoxie Road and Tangluo Road. Even if the army has not walked, the business trips will pass through this road. Therefore, Baoxie Road and Tangluo Road are relatively easier to walk, and the information about the road is relatively comprehensive.

The Ziwu Road is rarely visited, and the people who can walk the whole journey every year are Liao Ruchenxing. The Wei army has almost blank information about Ziwu Road. This vanguard is really going to explore the way.

However, no matter how difficult the road is, it is not difficult for this army of war. The general Shi Zhuan took the order with great help, and he never frowned.

Shizun was the general whom Deng Ai had promoted. When Deng Ai was the governor of the Left Army, Shizun was still a military marquis in the camp, commanding a song of troops. In the battle to attack Tongguan, Shizun performed outstandingly and showed his high military talent. Deng Ai appreciated him quite well. Even if he was promoted to lieutenant, he was later promoted to general of the camp.

As the most experienced general in the Wei army, Shi Zhuan certainly put in full force this time and prepared to do a big battle, make contributions and make a name for himself.

Deng Ai's arrangement to march from Ziwu Valley this time was equivalent to handing over the most difficult task to him, which was undoubtedly questioned by those generals with more qualifications. After all, in terms of leadership experience, Shi Zuan must have some shortcomings. They are all competing to exchange the route with Shi Zuan.

However, Deng Ai did not agree. The arrangement of troops from the camp to take which route was the result of his careful consideration. How could it be changed easily? What's more, although Shi Zun was the new general of the formation, Deng Ai was very acknowledged of his ability. Deng Ai had not yet seen the people for so many years, so he was extremely at ease with his arrangement.
