Nanzheng is only more than 100 miles away from Lecheng. You can reach Lecheng directly along the Mian River.

Hanzhong is full of mountains, and the Nanzheng area is considered a small plain. Going further east, there are hills and mountains connected to the mountains. The terrain is very undulating. Although the road to Lecheng is not as steep as the Qinling Ancient Road, it is not considered a flat mountain.

Since he decided to send troops to Lecheng, Yan Yu must be prepared. You must know that this battle was the first battle since he took office as the governor of Hanzhong. Can he have a good start and establish Yan Yu's prestige? This battle is the best opportunity.

Yan Yu was from Nanjun, Jingzhou. His father was a employed person and joined Liu Bei in Sichuan. However, he died of illness the following year and his reputation was not prominent. However, as a second generation of Jingxiang Group, Yan Yu was relatively easy to get promotion in the era when Jingxiang Group was in power in Shu Kingdom.

Yan Yu is also relatively sleek, good at speculation, has a harmonious relationship with people from the Jingxiang Sect, and can also get along with an internal official like Huang Hao. Although he has no military achievements, his position has been rising continuously. He once served as the governor of the surrender. Although his talent is not as good as Ma Zhong, he has no major mistakes. When he was guarding Nanzhong, there was no trouble.

Later, the Yong'an governor Zong Yu returned to Chengdu due to illness, and Yan Yu replaced him as the governor of Yong'an. Although Yong'an was the most important eastern gateway of Shu, because he bordered the Wu Kingdom and Zhuge Liang rebuilt the Wu-Shu Alliance, Wu Kingdom never invaded the territory again, so the work of the Yong'an governor was relatively relaxed.

The military system of Shu Kingdom is roughly divided into two parts: the southern line and the northern line. The southern line includes the Imperial Army in Chengdu, the surrendered Governor, the Jiangzhou Governor and the Yong'an Governor. Their mission is to garrison. Even if there are some battles, they are just to quell the rebellion, so there is basically no major battle to fight.

The Hanzhongyin Pingwudu on the northern front was the first front for the Northern Expedition of Cao Wei. Both Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei were the main war faction. Therefore, the wars on the northern front continued, and the military structure of Shu gradually formed a trend of strong north and weak south.

If it were Yan Yu himself, perhaps he would not have such great ambition to seize Jiang Wei's power. It was just that Jiang Wei offended too many people in the court. Not only the eunuch Huang Hao, but also Zhuge Zhan, the son of his mentor Zhuge Liang, Fan Jian, the Minister of State, and Dong Jue, the general of the auxiliary country, could not urinate in the same pot.

Therefore, in the end, Jiang Wei and Yan Yu were in conflict with the defense zone. If it were just Huang Hao who was blowing in front of Liu Chan, Yan Yu might not have gained the trust of the later leader, but if there were more important officials such as Zhuge Zhan, Fan Jian, and Dong Jue behind the scenes, it would be a different matter.

The reason why Yan Yu became the governor of Hanzhong and did so many things in Hanzhong was safe and sound. Even the angry Jiang Wei did not fight back in the end. After all, there were a lot of people behind him to wipe Yan Yu's butt, making Yan Yu's status in Hanzhong as stable as a mountain.

Logically speaking, there are many civil officials and military generals in Shu Kingdom. Even if Huang Hao and Zhuge Zhan and others don’t have to choose Yan Yu to replace them.

The reason why they did not choose other people and finally chose Yan Yu was the most important thing because Yan Yu had a good popularity, and he was able to get along with all forces, and his ability was also good. People at that time said that he had made contributions and worked diligently. He had worked in the positions of surrendered governor and Yong'an governor. Now he served as the right general. In terms of qualifications, he was also the highest in Yan Yu, so instead of Jiang Wei, Yan Yu became the best choice.

With the latter leader Liu Chan and so many big bosses in the court to support him, Yan Yu naturally wanted to do something after he took office as Hanzhong. The soldiers who did not want to be generals were not good soldiers. Yan Yu, as a general and as a governor, was naturally unwilling to be looked down upon. If he could make contributions in this battle in Hanzhong, the position Yan Yu would be in now would be well deserved.

However, Yan Yu had ambitions, but when it was actually put into actual combat, he was also a little confused.

Although Yan Yu served as the surrendered governor and Yong'an governor, and commanded the army, at most he only practiced exercises, quelled the rebellion and suppressed the barbarians. In fact, he had never seen a big scene of thousands of troops fighting. Fighting with the Wei army was probably the first time Yan Yu had in his life.

Practical combat and exercises are completely different, especially when the opponent is the Wei army, which is experienced in many battles, Yan Yu naturally couldn't help but feel a little upset.

Moreover, almost no one in the team of staff brought by Yan Yu from Yong'an this time had seen any real war. Although they had set a task to rescue Lecheng, no one was sure of how to fight this war.

At this time, the salted fish still had to come forward to give Yan Yu advice, arrange troops and arrange troops, and arrange them for him.

Yan Yu couldn't help but be overjoyed. In terms of leading the army, Yan Yu had never expected Yan Yu to fight. Xian Yu has always been a civil servant in the Governor's Office. Moreover, Xian Yu is older, an old man over 60 years old and in poor health. Can Yan Yu still expect him to fight? Even if he is commanding the battle, it will be difficult.

Now that he heard about Xianyu's plan, Yan Yu was very pleased. This time he came to Hanzhong, he had found a treasure. With Xianyu's powerful civil and military talents, why worry about his big mistakes?

But Yan Yu was worried that the body of the salted fish could withstand it. After all, going to the battle was a hard job. Just now, the salted fish went to the pharmacy to see a doctor and buy medicine. Can his body be taken to take it?

Yan Yu said with concern: "Cheng Cheng, I want to ask you to go to the war with the army, but I don't know how you are, can you eat or not?"

Xianyu bowed and said, "How dare you not follow the commander-in-chief? Although the low-in-chief is slightly ill, the overall situation is the first. You must be killed by death and fulfill your life."

Of course, the salted fish had to follow Yan Yu to fight. His plan was to lead Yan Yu into the pit. The situation on the battlefield changed rapidly. If the salted fish stayed in Nanzheng, it would definitely not be able to grasp the changes in the battlefield.

So no matter what, the salted fish must be with Yan Yu and then take him step by step into the dug pit. This is what the salted fish needs to do.

As for the body, there is no problem with the salted fish. After all, the pack of medicine given to him by Qingshan was just to cover up. It seems that Yan Yu already believed it.

When Yan Yu heard Xianyu agree, he was overjoyed and immediately appointed Xianyu as the chief secretary, who was fully responsible for military planning. All the staff members were also under the command of Xianyu. Then he asked Yang Xin to order troops and leave two thousand people to guard Nanzheng. The remaining eight thousand people set off, left Nanzheng, and headed straight for Lecheng.
