At the foot of Sanquan Mountain, the Song army camp.

Looking around, you can see that under the night sky, there are countless white tents all over the mountains, like blooming small flowers scattered at the foot of the mountain.

The war horses neighed from time to time, and the training sounds of soldiers and drums were mixed together. Some Song army troops were still training.

Countless flags fluttered in the wind, and occasionally cavalry teams burst out, with armor clanging and horse hooves shaking the sky and earth.

This true military style and majestic momentum are worthy of being the main elite of the Song Dynasty Imperial Guards.

In the tent.

Commander Wang Quanbin is holding a meeting with some of his generals.

Deputy Commander Cui Yanjin, Chief Superintendent Wang Renshan, General Kang Yanze of the Left Army, General Wang Jitao of the Right Army, General Shi Yande of the Pioneer General Zhang Wanyou, General Xiang Tao of the Left Army, and All of them are above Du Yuhou.

All the generals were in military uniforms, and even late at night, they still couldn't get rid of their armor.

Under the reflection of the candlelight in the curtain, the generals' armor were shining, and the cold was cold.

"General Shi, do you say that the troops who were sending to pursue the Shu army were ambushed?"

Shi Yande bowed and said, "God of General Wang, this is true. Du Yuhou Zhang Pan, the Marquis of Duoyu, was chasing the deserters of Sanquan Mountain. When he chased the canyon, he suddenly encountered an ambush, blocking the canyon road and saving the Shu army from its greater losses."

"It's strange. When did the Shu army understand ambushing?" Wang Renshan, the governor, was a little puzzled.

The days when the Song army attacked Bashu have been in the past half month and have never been defeated.

Every time the Shu army fought, they either had to be restrained or went out of the city to meet the enemy, and were beaten to pieces by the Song army.

However, there has never been a case where the Shu army predicted the enemy's initiative and came out to ambush the Song army.

Wang Quanbin was unmoved and calmly said: "Occasionally, the Shu army has an ambush and cut off the rear, which doesn't mean anything. You can't count on the generals of Shu, they are all cowards!"

The commander of the army is seen by his subordinates, so the more important the matter is, the more calm he should be.

Wang Quanbin was also the commander-in-chief of the Northern Song Dynasty, and his prestige in the army was quite high.

In the early years, he followed Emperor Zhuangzong of Tang and served as an internal position. During Emperor Mingzong of Later Tang, he was added to the imperial guards and became the commander-in-chief.

He served in the Later Jin, the Later Han Dynasty, and the Later Zhou Dynasty. He participated in the battles of conquering and recovering the four prefectures of Guanyou and the Northern Expedition of Liao Kingdom. He had excellent military leadership performance and was promoted to the governor of Xiangzhou.

In the past few years after the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, they first joined forces with Murong Yanzhao to quell the rebellion of Li Yun in Luzhou, and cooperated with Guo Jin to attack the Northern Han Dynasty. They made great achievements in combat. Therefore, they were trusted by Zhao Kuangyin and appointed him as the commander of the former army of the Xichuan Xingying, and were in charge of the 30,000 troops attacking Shu Kingdom by land from Shu Road.

In short, Wang Quanbin has a strong ability to command troops.

Wang Quanbin continued: "We have captured the city gate of Sanquanshan Fortress. We have captured 7,000 surrendered soldiers, killed nearly 10,000 Shu troops, seized more than 300,000 hu of food, which is a great victory. Next is Jiameng Pass. What do you think of?"

Wang Renshan, the governor of the capital, said: "Jiameng Pass is an important checkpoint on the Jinniu Road. With tens of thousands of strong soldiers, it is not easy to attack with our 20,000 or 30,000 people alone. Unless the commander Wang Zhaoyuan continues to give up the advantage of territorial advantages, arrange troops and charge head-on with us outside the city, then our soldiers can use one as ten to penetrate the Shu army's formation!"

Pioneer General Shi Yande couldn't help laughing and said, "That's right, the Shu army is too cowardly, and it's not our opponent to confront each other head-on."

Wang Quanbin frowned: "What if the Shu army did not leave the pass this time to fight?"

Wang Jitao, the general of the Right Chamber Army, ignored the Shu army and said, "Then he could only force the king to attack Jiameng Pass. After three days of bloody battle, the Shu army might abandon the city and flee."

Wang Quanbin shook and said, "I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid that if we can't put victory on the stupid command of the Shu army. This will make us relax and be lucky. Sooner or later, we will suffer a great loss. The initiative should be in our own hands, and we cannot leave it to fate and advance recklessly!"

War is not just about fighting fists, footballs, weapons, supplies, money and food, but also about psychology and human nature. Strategy is very important.

His words pointed out the key to the current military use and also made a reminder to these generals.

You cannot relax your vigilance just because your advancement over these days is too smooth, and you will be arrogant and arrogant, and you will fall apart sooner or later.

Deputy Commander Cui Yanjin was able to understand Wang Quanbin's intentions, took the opportunity to answer the conversation, and asked, "What are the strategies of General Wang?"

Wang Quanbin nodded and said, "I plan to leave some of my troops to pretend to attack the city and attract the attention of the Shu army. The main force of our army bypasses Jiameng Pass and cuts directly into Jianmen. Then Jiameng Pass and Lizhou City will be useless."

"Around it"

After hearing this, all the generals were a little surprised.

Shu Road is rugged and difficult to walk, and even the Taurus Road is not easy to walk. If you walk around the mountain, it will be even more difficult.

"But, there is no other way?" Someone was puzzled.

Wang Quanbin calmly said: "If you have no road, find a way. If you don't have a chance, you will cross the Jialing River, attack Xiaomantianzhai for supplies, and then go directly to the rear of Jiameng Pass and Lizhou City. The defenders of Jiameng Pass and Lizhou will collapse without fighting."

"This plan is very good!"

When the generals understood, they immediately felt that this method was feasible and there was no need to forcefully attack the Great Pass and waste it here.

As the winter season begins late autumn and fight continues and falls into a stalemate, Bashu will enter a season of cold winter rain, which is not conducive to the northern Song army.

Wang Renshan, the governor, proposed: "It is better to seize Luochuan Road and attack. It is a side road, a small path that can also march."

Kang Yanze had a different view and said: "Luochuan Road is dangerous and the army is difficult to advance in unison. It is better to divide the troops into two groups, attack Jinshan Fort quietly and break through Xiaomantianzhai. The other main force entered from Luochuan Road, rushed to the ferry crossing of the deep crossing to join the river together!"

"Yes, it coincides with this general's idea, just do it!"

Wang Quanbin smiled slightly and glanced at Kang Yanze, expressing his gratitude and appreciation for his ability to have such insights and strategic gaze.

Then, Wang Quanbin issued a military order: "Fare to attack Jiameng Pass, I will hand it over to the vanguard general Shi Yande, leading 10,000 troops to attack, drag the Shu army, and attracting the attention of Shu Kingdom. Cui Yanjin, Kang Yanze, and Zhang Wanyou led the left wing army to attack Jinshan Fort and attack Xiaomantianzhai. This general led the central army and the right wing army into Luochuan Road, seized the ferry at Shendu, waited for the left wing army to join, and finally crossed the river together and rushed to the hinterland of Jianmen."
