After deciding on a strategy to support Meng Da, Zhuge Liang said again, "We will send troops to attack Wei in ten days. Do you think how should we advance?"

The issue of how the Han army advances, the Prime Minister's Office and the generals have discussed it many times in the past few months. Everyone is talking about it and expressing their opinions. Yang Qing and his team have also made several strategies for sending troops, but Zhuge Liang has never expressed his opinion.

The reason is that the final advance route must be determined based on the latest situation. In addition, the information is leaked, and Zhuge Liang also intends to make an advance strategy for the time being. However, now that the troops are about to be sent, it is time to confirm it.

From the north of Hanzhong to Guanlong, there have always been five main roads, namely Ziwu Road, Tangluo Road, Baoxi Road, Chencang Road and Qishan Avenue. Except for the flat and wide Qishan Avenue, the other four roads are difficult to walk on. They need to cross the Qinling Mountains, and the steepness is different.

However, even though the five steep roads account for the fourth, at least the Han army has many choices for the route of troops, so how to advance is a key issue.

Everyone still had to think about it, and at this moment, Wei Yan clasped his fists and said, "Prime Minister, the person guarding Chang'an now is Xiahou Yan, the general of the pseudo-Wei Zhenxi. This person is the son of Xiahou Dun and Cao Cao's son-in-law. He heard that he is a typical rich child, timid and unscheming.

Therefore, I wish to lead five thousand elite troops, carry 5,000 grains, a total of ten thousand troops to take the way out of Baozhong, follow the Qinling Mountains and go east, and then go north to Ziwu Valley. In just ten days, you can reach Chang'an.

Once Xiahou Wei saw a certain army coming, he would be frightened to abandon the city and leave. In this way, Chang'an could be restored. Then Yan led his troops from east to west, and the Prime Minister led his army out of the sliver valley and attacked on both sides, and then the west of Xianyang could be determined."

This was a strange plan that Wei Yan had planned for a long time. At this moment, he said it in one breath. He was so excited, excited, and confident that no one among the people present could come up with such a bold plan.

"There is such a brilliant plan, so I am very good at agreeing." Wei Yan thought so in his heart, and he was looking forward to it.

"Here, Wei Yan's Ziwu Valley Qiming finally appeared!"

The success or failure of Wei Yan's plan has been discussed in the future, and Yang Qing is quite familiar with it. He thought he would not see this famous scene in this life, but he did not expect to see it today.

"General Wen Chang, this is not a plan"

Yang Qing was about to retort, but suddenly heard Yang Yi, who was in the head, interjected quickly and said, "No, it is impossible to get Chang'an from Ziwu Valley to the north to achieve a surprise attack. This plan is completely whimsical."

"Yang Yi, what did you say? Say this plan was a whimsical idea?"

Seeing that he had finished speaking, his opponent Yang Yi jumped out to object in a hurry. Wei Yan was furious and said, "Have you ever fought a war? You haven't even played on the battlefield. What strategy do you know? It's so ridiculous!"

"Whoever was surnamed Wei, why hadn't I been on the battlefield? I also saw the battle formation with the late emperor. It was really slandering to say that I hadn't been on the battlefield." Yang Yi immediately rejected it.

Wei Yan laughed, "You have been counted as a battlefield? You either hide in the back or hide in the city. You can only count as a battlefield when you work with the enemy with real swords and guns."

"Hmph, how can everyone charge in battle between the two armies?

The two of them were verbal and quarreled, and they were really fierce, making everyone feel excited. This drama has not been seen for more than half a month, and today everyone has seen it again.

Seeing that Wei Yan and Yang Yi became more and more dissatisfied, Zhuge Liang in the main seat patted his forehead, looked a headache, and could no longer bear it. He patted the table and shouted, "I'm enough, stop me."

Hearing the prime minister got angry, Wei Yan and Yang Yi immediately stopped the sound, both lowered their heads and remained silent.

"This is a military discussion, what's the point of making noise?" Zhuge Liang glared at the two of them, and continued, "What do others think about Wen Chang's plan just now?"

Seeing that he could finally speak, Yang Qing coughed lightly and bowed, "Prime Minister, I think General Wen Chang's plan is inappropriate."

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Yang Qing also objected, Wei Yan asked immediately dissatisfied.

Yang Qing smiled slightly, "General Wen Chang, please be careful and listen to me slowly. The first inappropriate general's plan is that it cannot guarantee that the 10,000 army will successfully arrive at the city of Chang'an from Ziwu Valley within ten days."

"How is it impossible?" Wei Yan asked again.

Yang Qing replied, "First of all, Ziwu Valley is six or seven hundred miles long. Even though the general penetrated eastward from Baozhong and shortened the distance, it was still three or four hundred miles away, and the road along the way was rugged and steep, and ten thousand invaders could not finish it within ten days.

Secondly, the general couldn't do it if he wanted to raid the city of Chang'an. The exit from the north of Ziwu Valley was called Zikou. As far as the Qing Dynasty knew, the Wei army had a checkpoint in Zikou. Once the army appeared nearby, it would be discovered. So this was impossible."

After hearing this, everyone thought that this was true and nodded in agreement.

Wei Yan laughed when he heard this, "Although Mingzhi said something makes sense, I have ways to overcome these.

The reason why some people asked five thousand people to carry food and grass was to let the other five thousand elite soldiers go by simply following the light chariots, so that they could pass through Ziwu Valley within ten days.

As for the Wei army's stronghold, I had known for a long time that during the march, I would send a scout to clear the Wei army's sentry, and Dingbao was silent. Therefore, Mingzhi's concerns were too much."

Many people thought that these two methods were feasible after hearing this, and they regained their confidence in this plan for a while.

Yang Qing smiled and said, "General Wen Chang is good at using troops and is very simple. Even if the first one is wrong, the general will solve it." He did not argue about this, and said, "But there is a second one."

"Oh? What is it?" Wei Yan thought he had refuted Yang Qing's first inappropriate affair, so his tone became calmer.

Yang Qing said, "The second inappropriate thing is that the general said that Xiahou Qi would abandon the city and flee when he saw the army, which was too arbitrary.

Although Xiahou Wei is an incompetent person, how could he know that this person would be so timid that he would abandon the city? Even if he wanted to escape, would the civil and military officials around him not dissuade him? And even if Xiahou Wei really ran away, would all the officials in the city go with him to abandon the city?

If one or two people in charge lead the troops to resist guarding, the general wants to quickly break into a big city like Chang'an with ten thousand invaders, would it be a bit difficult?"

"This" Wei Yan was speechless. After Yang Qing said this, he muttered in his heart, but he still argued on his face, "How can we achieve everything in wars and wars be used to overcome the powerful enemy by using strange and dangerous troops. If the bet is won, Chang'an can be restored and Yongliang can be determined."

"Okay, even if General Wen Chang is right, there is a certain possibility that he can raid and break through Chang'an. However, there is a third one that is inappropriate."

Wei Yan opened his eyes wide and said, "Are there?"

"Yes, the third inappropriate thing is that the general asked the prime minister to lead the brigade to join Gong from west to east. Baoxi Road is also a difficult road. When the prime minister's army walked out of the Xigu and captured the cities along the way, it was probably the Wei army east of Tongguan and west of Longshan had already come to reinforce."

"This" Wei Yan was speechless for a moment.

Yang Qing continued, "There is another point, General Wen Chang, have you ever thought that even if this plan is successfully implemented, the Prime Minister's army and Gong successfully join forces to recover Guanzhong. Then the situation will become that our army is surrounded by the enemy west of Tongguan and the enemy from Longyou. By that time, the army will fall into a more dangerous situation."

"This" Wei Yan couldn't do it again.

"Mingzhi is right. This plan is too dangerous and cannot be feasible." Yang Yi felt relieved when he saw Wei Yan being asked and immediately agreed.

Zhao Yun also said, "Prime Minister, Mingzhi's statement is very reasonable. Wen Chang's plan is too risky. He needs to complete the steps of marching, raiding, breaking the city, meeting the army one by one. If you are not careful, you will lose all the game. The chance of failure is too high."

"The last general also thinks that the long-term plan of Wen Chang is too dangerous and cannot be feasible." Gao Xiang also spoke.

For a moment, everyone spoke up against Wei Yan's Ziwu Valley Qiming, which made him silent and his face looked extremely ugly.

Zhuge Liang couldn't stand it, so he stopped everyone and said tactfully, "Wen Chang can have this plan, which means he is very good at using strange weapons. However, this plan is too dangerous and not a complete plan. It is better to follow the calm way and take Longyou flatly. If you have ten complete plans, you will be able to defeat it without any worries."

"Prime Minister, if we advance from the great road, the Wei bandits will all the troops from Guanzhong to meet the enemy on the road. If the stalemate is not over, the war will last for a long time. When will we get the Central Plains?" Wei Yan planned this plan for a long time, and was unwilling to give up. He also wanted to fight for it again.

Zhuge Liang said, "No, I follow."

"Prime Minister, General Wen Chang's idea is very good. His words inspired me. Qing also wanted to send troops from Ziwu Valley." Zhuge Liang was about to refute, but Yang Qing suddenly interrupted again.

Zhuge Liang was shocked and laughed in silence and said, "Do you have a strange plan in Ziwu Valley?"
