Leaving Fazheng's tent, Li Yan and Zhang Yi walked side by side.

"Duke Fa asked us to lead our troops up the mountain from a small road. What do you think?" Li Yan suddenly asked Zhang Yi.

"I had helped Yizhou to fight, but now I have to lead troops to fight my former family." Zhang Yi sighed: "In the troubled times, nothing is permanently stable."

"It's good to be alive in troubled times." Li Yan said: "Yizhou is just a small place, but there are not many troops to be transferred. Once Bashan and Jianmen Mountain are lost, the battle in Langzhong will be over."

"We both know very well that there is only one way in front of us." Zhang Yi said: "When Liu Xuande ordered Fa Gong to attack Shouchun, it is said that Guan Yunchang and Zhang Yide disobeyed the military order, so that Fa Gong had no way to retreat and had to join the Great Wei. Even so, Liu Xuande still killed his whole family. In my opinion, he is indeed a villain with little kindness and little righteousness, and we don't need to work hard for him!"

Li Yan nodded: "What General Zhang said is that Mr. Fa gave us the opportunity to survive, and we can't give it up at will."

"I wish the general a victory first!" Both of them agreed to follow the example, and Zhang Yi bowed to Li Yan.

"I also wish the general a victory in the flag." Li Yan replied.

The two discussed whether they should follow Fa Zheng wholeheartedly, and Ma Chao and Xu Chu also walked out of the tent.

"I thought I would have to wait here for a long time, but I didn't expect that there would be a battle to fight so soon." Xu Chu said to Ma Chao: "Meng Qi made great contributions before, but I was very jealous."

"Jianmen Mountain and Bashan are easy to defend but difficult to attack. I will attack Bashan. If the general attacks Jianmen Mountain, it is better to compete to see who will defeat the enemy first." Ma Chao replied.

"Okay!" Xu Chu and Ma Chao fought on the battlefield. No one could defeat each other at that time. They appreciated each other. Ma Chao proposed a competition, and of course he agreed immediately.

"Do you think Li Yan and Zhang Yi can trust you?" Ma Chao asked suddenly.

Xu Chu frowned: "This kind of thing may be true. Mr. Fa asked us to lead our troops to wait at the foot of the mountain. Once the shouts of killing sounds came from the mountain, he immediately led his army to rush forward. It can be seen that he believed the two of them."

"No one is perfect. Although Fa Gong is extremely wise, he is just a person after all." Ma Chao said: "We have to be careful when we attack Jianmen Mountain and Bashan."

"Is Meng Qi afraid?" Xu Chu asked with a smile.

Ma Chao's face turned cold: "Afraid? Who can I be afraid of?"

"I also think that with Meng Qi's ability, I shouldn't worry about these things." Xu Chu said: "Before going to the war, the lord had specifically instructed him to obey the official orders of the law no matter what. Didn't Meng Qi get many benefits before obeying the orders?"

"It's true that I was ordered to confiscate the food and grass. It's Yang Dezu's plan to block the enemy." Ma Chao said: "Yang Dezu is really a skilled person."

"If you are not capable, your lord will not specifically ask him to follow the army to fight." Xu Chu replied: "You can wait until the foot of the mountain to consider the specific things. What we have to do now is to select troops and prepare to fight."

Ma Chao and Xu Chu said goodbye to each other, and they returned to the army to select troops.

Fa Zheng brought a large army of 50,000. The two of them ordered 8,000 and led the soldiers to Jianmen Mountain and Bashan Mountain.

Li Yan and Zhang Yi also got two thousand soldiers and horses respectively, waiting for darkness before setting off in the dark.

Fa Zheng planned to attack Jianmen Mountain and Bashan first, while Ma Chao and Xu Chu led their troops to the expedition respectively.

Jiang Wei, who was stationed on Jianmen Mountain, received the news and his face looked very ugly.

Sitting on a large stone, Jiang Wei looked into the distance.

From where he is, he can't see the enemy troops coming to fight, but Jiang Wei feels that what he is going to face must be an extremely difficult battle.

"Come!" Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and shouted.

A soldier ran away from a distance, and Jiang Wei ordered: "Send the order to prepare for the fight and use the terrain to repel the enemy. Then arrange some people to ambush the road to the back mountain, beware of the enemy coming from behind."

The military order was issued, and the soldiers of Yizhou who had been stationed on Jianmen Mountain for many days immediately started moving.

Before the Wei army appeared, the Yizhou army on the hillside had already taken precautions.

Xu Chu attacked Jianmen Mountain.

Leading eight thousand soldiers to the foot of the mountain, he looked up at the endless hills and said to the school beside him: "If I set a fire, do you think you can burn Jiang Wei out?"

"I'm afraid I can't burn it out." Xiaojiao replied: "Jianmen Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, and we don't know where Jiang Wei is hiding. A fire is set aside, and I don't know how many days it will burn. If he escapes from the other side by the fire, it will be difficult to find him."

Turning his head to look at the school, Xu Chu smiled and said, "You are a brainy person. Why didn't I think of these?"

The little school replied: "It's not that the general didn't expect it, but that the general had a big deal in his heart. How could he take such small things into consideration?"

"You're still very listening." Xu Chu grinned and gently patted Xiaoxiao's shoulder: "You are very likable."

"It is my honor to be appreciated by the general." The school replied again.

"Send the order to let the soldiers rest on the spot and wait here." Xu Chu got off the horse and immediately ordered the school.

The school passed on his military order and asked him: "General, don't send scouts to investigate the situation on the mountain?"

"It's the same whether to send scouts or not. Since you have mentioned it, please send a few to the mountain." Xu Chu replied casually: "Tell them that it doesn't matter whether they can find the enemy or not. The important thing is to come back alive."

Although he was confused, the school still arranged several scouts to go up the mountain as he ordered.

Xu Chu came to the foot of the mountain, and Jiang Wei on the mountain had already seen them.

Seeing Xu Chu stationed at the foot of the mountain, Jiang Wei seemed to have no intention of ordering an attack at all.

Logically speaking, since he has come, even if he does not launch an attack immediately, Xu Chu should have sent more scouts into the mountains to investigate the situation.

However, Jiang Wei, who was watching from a distance, did not see that Xu Chu sent many scouts, only saw a few people walking out of the Wei army's barracks.

Those people crawled into the mountains and forests and quickly disappeared into the vast jungle.

Jiang Wei frowned, and suddenly his eyes opened and shouted, "Not good!"

The Yizhou army, who were very close to him, turned their heads and looked at him.

When he realized that he was out of control, Jiang Wei immediately ordered: "Send an order to follow me to the back mountain path, and the enemy will go up the mountain from the small path!"

The order was issued, and the Yizhou army immediately responded.
