Mianzhu Pass is located in Lutou Mountain, facing Mianyuan River to the west and across from Mianzhu County. The terrain is steep and is the gateway to the north of Shu Capital and is also a necessary way to connect the plains of Shu Central and the outside world. As long as you guard this place well, you will be worry-free in the north of Shu County.

When Liu Yan first entered Shu, he was controlled by the powerful and powerful surnames in Shu, and his capital could only be set up in Mianzhu County. Therefore, he was more aware of the importance of Mianzhu Pass. Even if Liu Yan sent Zhang Lu to lead his army to attack Hanzhong, there were three obstacles in Shu that were enough to resist any invading enemy, but there were still eight hundred elite troops stationed in this Mianzhu Pass.

A ragged defeated army rushed towards the distant wolf, which soon attracted the attention of the Mianzhu Pass defenders.

"Close the city gate!" The general guarding the pass frowned and waved his hand.

"General, it seems to be our soldier!" A deputy general looked at the general guarding the pass in embarrassment.

"How could there be a defeated army here? The situation is unclear, so don't be careless!" This person was the captain of Mianzhu Pass, and was also the confidant of Liu Yan who followed Liu Yan to Sichuan. He was Wu Yi, a native of Chenliu, and was also Liu Yan's confidant. He was arranged by Liu Yan to garrison at this throat. In terms of ability and loyalty, he was deeply trusted by Liu Yan.

"Here!" The deputy general didn't care, but he still executed the order, quickly closed the city gate and put away the suspension bridge.

Seeing the defeated army approaching, Wu Yi waved his hand, and the two shooters stepped forward, tapped the arrow, and shot the defeated army's team. Wu Yi stood on the female wall and shouted loudly: "Who is the army under the city! Why is it here!"

Under Mianzhu Pass, a cavalry rushed out and bowed to Wu Yi: "General Wu, the last general, is the army marquis under General Tao Ran, the captain of Zitong Pass, and Gu Cheng, the army marquis under the command of General Tao Ran, Zitong Pass was attacked by Hanzhong Army. General Tao Ran died in battle, and only we are left fleeing here!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the soldiers of Mianzhu Pass changed drastically. Zitong Pass was broken, and the Hanzhong soldiers only took a few days to go.

"How can Zitong Pass be broken?" Wu Yi frowned and scolded sternly: "Don't disrupt our morale."

"It's true!" Gu Cheng said hoarsely: "Nearly two months ago, another Sima Zhang Xiu led his troops through Zitong Pass. Three days ago, someone suddenly claimed that the defeated army under Zhang Xiu's tent fled and returned. General Tao opened the city and let him enter the pass. He was about to ask, but the defeated army was actually pretended to be the soldiers of the Hanzhong army. He started a sudden attack. General Tao Ran was beheaded on the spot without any defense. The soldiers of Zitong Pass were in chaos and were taken advantage of by the bandits, causing Zitong Pass to fall!"

Gu Cheng pointed to the general behind him and said, "We fought hard and fought to the death, resulting in the eight hundred defenders of Zitong Pass. Now only we are left! Please give us a favor and let us enter the pass!"

"General?" A side general looked at Wu Yi.

"Send someone back to Cheng/Du first report to the lord." Wu Yi shook his head. No matter what the other party's identity was, he would probably be in danger of appearing here.

"Then these people..."

"Let them stay outside the city first, and wait for their identity to be verified before they can be released into the pass." Wu Yi said calmly. The other party's words alone cannot prove their identity, especially since the three passes have been broken, how can we know that these people were not sent by the Hanzhong army to deceive the city?

"Here!" The deputy general nodded and stepped forward to the soldiers under the city and said, "You are looking for a place nearby to stay. After you can verify your identity, you will let you enter the pass!"

"General, what should I do?" A soldier came over beside Gu Cheng and whispered: "There are not many people in Mianzhu Pass, will I attack forcefully?"

The Special Forces Battalion is extraordinary. Although Mianzhu Pass is steep, it is not majestic itself. The city is only two feet high. With the ability of the special forces soldiers and the surrounding rocks, they can also forcibly break in.

"Don't act rashly, and do what he said. When it's dark, send someone to notify the lord to suspend the attack. Let these people think we are true first. When their defense gradually fades, it's not too late for us to take action!" Gu Cheng shook his head. The losses of a strong attack will be huge. The special operations camp is the elite trained by Ye Zhao from the elite. Each of them is reported. On the day of the army, Ye Zhao once said, save his life first and then kill the enemy.

"Here!"

Gu Cheng took two steps forward and said to the defenders on the city: "General Wu, we can station here, but I have been running like this for three days and have never had a full meal. Can I wait for me to wait for some food for me to fill my stomach?"

When Wu Yi heard this, he looked down at the city, but saw that the soldiers were indeed spicy and haggard. After a moment of silence, he nodded to the deputy general beside him and said, "Let someone hang the food down with a hanging basket for them to eat."

There are only a hundred people around, and Mianzhu Pass can afford it.

"Here!" The deputy general quickly agreed and turned around and ordered someone to prepare the meal.

Until someone hangs the food off the hanging basket, the soldiers guarding the city did not feel relaxed at all, which made Gu Cheng, who had originally wanted to take this opportunity to break the city, had no choice but to give up this plan.

"This person is cautious!" While sucking the rice into his mouth, Gu Cheng looked at Mianzhu Pass. After a long time, the cow drank a large mouthful of water and sent the food, he shook his head. It was impossible to break the pass today. The Hanzhong army has sent troops from Zitong Pass and arrived soon. Because the terrain of Mianzhu Pass is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the special combat camp was ordered to go first to see if there is a chance to break the city. Now it seems that it is impossible to do so in a short period of time.

However, this battle is extremely important for the Special Forces Battalion. The special forces battalion's training and food and wages are several times that of ordinary troops in daily life, but there is no official number. Although it is known as the Jiefan Army, it is also the number given by Ye Zhao in private, and it is not established. This battle against Shu is also the battle of Yang Ming in the Special Forces Battalion. If there is no sufficient merit to make the rest of the army shut up, even if Ye Zhao gives them a number, it will be worthy of the soldiers of the Special Forces Battalion. It is not enough to rely on the merits of Zitongguan. The special forces battalion is the most elite soldier in the army after Ye Zhao's special training, and his merits will naturally be the best in the army!

This is the arrogance of the soldiers of the Special Forces Battalion. As the leader of the Special Forces Battalion, Gu Cheng naturally hopes that his special forces battalion can become a powerful force that is intimidating the world.

"General, are you camping?" A general came to Gu Cheng and asked.

"Build a few straw sheds to shelter the wind. Don't let the enemy see the flaws. Remember, we are now a defeated army." Gu Cheng shook his head. The special operations battalion has specially trained how to build a camp, but ordinary troops do not have this ability, especially when the main general is away. If an excellent military camp is built and the enemy generals are cautious, it is inevitable that the flaws will be missed. The defeated army should look like a defeated army.

"Here!"

...

"What are they doing?" An hour later, Mianzhu closed down, and looking at the defeated army who had just built a few straw huts and did nothing, the deputy general frowned.

I saw the hundred-defeated soldiers gathered together in groups of three or five, some hiding in the straw shed, some lying directly on the ground, or gathering together to chat and fuck. The originally serious and tidy open space in front of the pass looked quite like a smoky feeling.

"Then Tao Ran is leading the troops like this!" Wu Yi looked at the group of people and snorted coldly: "No wonder Zitongguan was broken so easily!"

Even so, Wu Yi himself did not notice it. Looking at the appearance of these "defeated troops", he believed a lot about his identity.

"Why put it in the city? If the Hanzhong army attacks, these people will be considered a combat power?" The deputy general looked at Wu Yi carefully and suggested.

"What's the use of asking for these mobs?" Wu Yi snorted disdainfully, turned around and walked into the city, and the voice came from afar: "Enhance the alert, once a thief attacks, ignite the beacon immediately!"

"Here!" The deputy general agreed, glanced at the "defeated army" outside the city, shook his head and sighed. The general from other places did not take us and the people of Shu to heart.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker, he ordered people to take some clothes to avoid the cold and ordered people to use hanging baskets to get under the city. Wu Yi strictly prohibited the city gate, and he did not dare to help these people open the city against the wind.

As night gradually fell, Gu Cheng leaned against the straw shed and stared at Chengguan. A general beside him said, "This is the third time that the guards of Mianzhu Pass are no less than 800!"

Gu Cheng nodded silently, took a branch and drew it on the ground, shook his head and said, "Wu Yi is very cautious and has a perfect schedule. It is very difficult for us to break the city tonight. Where are the rest of the troops?"

"It has arrived outside Fu County, and the lord's army has also left Zitong, and will arrive in Fu County the day after tomorrow."

It is less than a hundred miles from Fu County to Mianzhu Pass. If you march quickly, you can arrive in one day.

"Good rest tonight!" Gu Cheng glanced at the city wall and said, "The day after tomorrow, the city will be attacked and sent someone to report to the lord, please send a light cavalry to the first place. Once the city is broken, you will immediately lead the army to break in and occupy this throat. This battle will be easy!"

"Here!"

In the next two days, Gu Cheng remained silent and continued to pretend to be a defeated army. He did nothing all day long, just waiting for the city to put down the food and grass with a hanging basket before leaving to get it. Wu Yi frowned.

On the evening of the third day, when an army under the banner of Ye appeared in sight, the defeated troops at the city suddenly became in chaos.

Gu Cheng rolled and crawled to the moat, knelt on the ground with a loud bang, and said wailingly: "General, help me, there are only a hundred people, but we can't stop thousands of troops in Hanzhong. Please give us mercy and let us enter the pass. If you are humble, you will be loyal to the general!"

"General, put them in Guanzhong first!" Seeing that Wu Yi was still hesitating, the deputy general also became a little sharp and said loudly: "Is the general treating the soldiers in Shu so harshly!"

Wu Yi's heart was shocked when he heard this. Now Liu Yan's position in Shuzhong has just been stable. Although his confidants, Dongzhou scholars and the wealthy families in Shuzhong are at peace for the time being, if they are given this title, they may not be able to gain a foothold in Shuzhong in the future.

"Let them get faster!" After looking at the enemy, there was still some distance, enough for them to put more than a hundred people in and pull up the suspension bridge again, he immediately gritted his teeth and said.

After two days of observation, although there has not been any news from Shuzhong, it is basically confirmed that these people are Zitong defeated troops.

"Cruff~"

The heavy suspension bridge slowly fell down. Gu Cheng was overjoyed when he saw this and thanked him repeatedly. He rushed towards the city gate with people. Someone had already begun to open the city gate.

"General, the people who went to Chengdu are back." A soldier brought a horse-spout to Wu Yi and bowed.

"How?" Wu Yi stared at the army that was constantly approaching in the distance and asked casually.

"Returning to the general, it has been confirmed that there is no general named Gu in General Tao Ran's tent. Bei Zhi had specially asked the names and names of the officers under General Tao, but Gu Cheng was not the one!" The sling horse bowed.

"Yeah." Wu Yi nodded habitually, then his expression changed, he turned his head and looked at Tanma and said, "What did you say?"

"There is no such person under General Tao Ran. At least among the generals, not to mention Gu Cheng, even those with the surname Gu are not."
