Chapter 1566: Set out, Ziwu Valley!

The plank road has not been walking for hundreds of years, and it has long been rotten. Only some stone pillars, stone piles, and stone holes are left, densely distributed on the cliffs. Not to mention walking such a road, you will be filled with horror at a glance.

On the stone wall on the east side, there are rows of grass written in carved, each of which is six or seven feet in size. Although eroded by wind and rain and covered by moss, everyone can still clearly recognize it:

"God-Emperor Gao was ordered to promote Hanzhong. The road was from Ziwu, and the road was scattered into Qin, and the emperor was established. He was appointed as the Han clan. Later, the road was difficult to go along with the valley, and the hall was shining. All these four roads were extremely difficult......"

It is the famous "Shimen Song", also known as "Yang Mengwen Song", which is an eclipse written by the prefect of Hanzhong, Wang Sheng and the Sili School Commander Yang Mengwen, during the second year of Jianhe in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which records the story of Liu Bang entering Hanzhong.

After the Guandong coalition forces overthrew the tyrannical Qin, Xiang Yu enfeoffed 18 princes in one fell swoop. Because he was afraid of Liu Bang's talent and would threaten his rule, he appointed him as King of Han, managing Bashu, a remote place in Hanzhong, and establishing his capital in Nanzheng City!

When the Han army went to Nanzheng, they walked on the Ziwu Valley Plank Road. As a result, they saw that the mountains were dangerous and the road was difficult to move forward, and the soldiers were reluctant to move forward and demanded to go back to Guanzhong. Liu Bang used this force to open the prelude to the Unification War!

The Han army soldiers would rather fight back to Guanzhong and fight to the death with hundreds of thousands of Chu soldiers than walk on the Hanzhong plank road. It can be seen how difficult it is to leave Ziwu Valley, which is even more terrifying than the overlord who kills people!

Back then, the Han army was still scared to death. Now what Geng Yan and his group faced was the broken plank road. The enemy's size was unknown in front of them, and the difficulty increased by more than ten times!

"Go! Please come here!" Geng Yan said with a serious expression.

Although this mission also requires someone like Geng Yan to carry out the mission, Li Jing will not give it to someone else to do this mission casually.

This is a dangerous thing. If the person who goes there is insufficient ability, the original life of nine deaths should be ten deaths without life.

Although Geng Yan was a surrendered general, his ability was recognized by Li Jing, and Li Jing was willing to hand him this task.

After receiving this task, Lianyan had already taken the initiative to send people to find a large number of hunters, woodcutters, and herb collectors. These people have been shuttled through the mountains and forests all year round. They are very familiar with the situation in this area and have rich experience in survival in the wild.

These hunters, woodcutters, and herb collectors were pushed to the front of a group of soldiers, and their hearts were trembling, which all meant that the people did not fight with the officials. After seeing the officers and soldiers, these ordinary ordinary people naturally felt a sense of fear, let alone the few officials in front of them were obviously several!

When these people heard that Geng Yan asked them to lead the army into Ziwu Valley, they were even more scared and lost all their souls. They were so scared that they knelt on the ground one by one. What's more, they even shivered.

"Ziwu Valley is northeast and southwest, with a total length of 660 miles. It exits on the north bank of the Han River. Crossing the river is Nanzheng City, but no one has taken this road for more than two hundred years!"

"The road that no one walks will naturally be repaired, and it has been destroyed so badly. The villain usually walks on Baoxi Road and Chencang Road, so he really dare not walk on Ziwu Valley!" One of the herb collectors said in a low voice with courage.

"I heard from the old people that Ziwu Valley is rugged and difficult to move, with countless poisonous snakes, beasts, and miasma inside..." One of the hunters also responded.

It is common for hunters, woodcutters, and herb collectors to enter the mountains with similar identities. Otherwise, they would have no source of income, and the whole family would point to them. If they had no source of income, wouldn't it be impossible for the whole family to starve to death?

But even they did not dare to step into Ziwu Valley!

With these two more courageous people on the way, the remaining people dared to pluck up the courage to put in a few words. In this way, with your words and I, they said almost the same thing as what they knew about Ziwu Valley.

However, it is basically all the rumors passed by the elderly, and they have never walked through that place.

Moreover, these people are not sure that there are many exaggerations in their words. After all, these people themselves are absolutely unwilling to really lead the Jin army to Ziwu Valley. People are mentally seeking profit and avoiding harm. The more dangerous they say there, they may be able to "persuade" these officers and take another path.

Geng Yan and Geng Chun could not believe them completely, but even if they only believed in part, it would be enough to bother them.

In fact, even if they can't get through Ziwu Valley and fail to attack Nanzheng, it's not a big deal. After all, Li Jing did not put his hope on their men. If they could succeed, it would naturally be a big surprise for Li Jing. But if they failed, Li Jing would have done it long ago, and this would not affect their other plans.

However, although it is acceptable to not be able to walk through Ziwu Valley, I am afraid that the team will be cut off halfway, and the food will be cut off, and the dilemma will be trapped in the mountains. There are many examples of this kind in ancient times!

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Huan of Qi led his army to attack Guzhu. In spring and winter, he was confused and lost his way and almost fell into a desperate situation. Fortunately, he followed Guan Zhong's advice and found the way with a few old horses. This was relatively lucky, but there were also unlucky ones!

In the first year of Taichu of the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of Han asked General Li Guangli, General Ershi, to seek bloody horses, to lead his army to attack Dayuan. Because the roads in the Western Regions were difficult to move, there was a shortage of food, grass and drinking water. In addition, the fierce resistance of the Dayuan people, the Han army suffered a crushing defeat, and less than one-tenth of them survived!

What these generals in the army were afraid of was not to die in the battlefield. If the clay pots were not broken from the well, the general would inevitably die in front of the battlefield. For a general, it might be their luck to have the opportunity to die in the battlefield.

However, if you are trapped in these mountains, and you are called "Daily Do Not Respond" or "Da Earth" and you will be able to die of thirst and exhaustion in the end, then it is definitely not a glorious way to die of death for these generals in the army?

"Set out!" Geng Yan's face was changing, but after a long time, his face suddenly became firmer again.

For a general who fought on the battlefield, if he really chose this way of death, it would be a relatively cowardly way of death.

However, as a general, if you choose to escape with a cowardly battle, it will not be as simple as cowardly, but a shame, an indelible shame.
