Hongnong is known as the five mountains, four ridges and one scattered river.

It has a superior geographical location, bordering Guanzhong in the west, Sanjin in the north, and Central Plains in the east.

thus.

Since ancient times, this place has been a must-fight for military strategists.

Hongnong's portal.

It has a long history.

There have been stories such as "the people of Guo destroyed Jiao" and "the fake way to attack Guo".

Therefore, military strategists say.

Taking over Shan County does not mean taking over Hongnong.

But if Shan County is not captured, Hongnong will not open.

And the reason for all this.

It lies in the geographical location of Shaanxi County.

It is close to the Yellow River in the north and the Gaoyang Mountain in the south. There is only a pass less than a few dozen miles in the middle.

It can be said that this is a natural level.

If we say that Hongnong Huayin is the gateway of Guanzhong.

The Shaanxi County of Hongnong is a natural barrier that can be used as a million troops.

That's why.

Anyone who has a little knowledge of geography should know how critical this kind of place is.

Lin Chen, as a person, made a cheat.

At the same time, people who often look at maps.

Of course, I also know how critical it is.

It is precisely because he knows that he has to take this opportunity in person.

Because he felt.

I saw it at the head of the city of Murchi.

It is likely not the whole fact.

The reason why Shan County is difficult to guide.

I'm afraid there are other problems.

With this idea.

Lin Chen began a five-day trek.

Five days later.

Standing in front of Qinglongjian River, he finally saw the head of Shan County.

[Shaan County: low risk, strategy success rate is 87%]

Yes.

The probability suddenly increased by 21%.

And it was just because he led Li Yan, who could be considered half a powerful general, and dozens of elite soldiers.

But Lin Chen was not surprised at all.

"Practice leads to true knowledge..."

After looking at the mountains and rivers spreading behind him from afar, and looking at the not-so-tall Shan County town in front of him, he murmured to himself.

"If I hadn't been to this, I'm afraid I wouldn't have understood why Shan County would be so difficult to conquer."

That's right.

After walking for a while, he had found the reason.

The reason is the road he took before.

It’s not that Duan Wei is too powerful.

It’s not that Boss Cao is bad either.

The main reason is.

The road he had walked before was full of crises, and bandits and chaotic troops were seen everywhere.

He and Li Yan and dozens of others had to travel arduously for five days.

What would happen if I had led the army to such an accident?

On the first day, there may be nothing wrong.

It was fine the next day...

But what about the third day, the fourth day, the fifth day... and even the seventh or eighth day?

Will those chaotic troops come out to cause trouble?

Even if those chaotic troops cannot come out, the surrounding terrain can be used.

What's more, in Lin Chen's opinion, those chaotic troops will come out 100%.

This is not to say that their courage has reached a certain level.

But because if you lead the army through, there will be too many situations.

Therefore, Lin Chen dared to assert.

Those experienced rioters will definitely take the opportunity to do something.

Even if they don't want to.

Duan Wei will definitely make them willing.

It's just about giving money and food.

When Lin Chen thought of this, he couldn't help but think of Cao Cao's handling of this place in history.

‘In April of the summer of the third year, the envoy Pei Mao led the Central Army General Duan Wei to attack Li Jue and the three tribes of Yi. Duan Wei was appointed as the general of Annan and was granted the title of Marquis of Guxiang.’

There is only one historical record.

But from this, you can actually see a lot of things.

first.

Is Boss Cao the kind of person who has the opportunity to enter but does not enter, and even creates a level?

Everyone knows how domineering he is.

He will definitely not miss any chance.

So, he will definitely not miss the opportunity.

Then why not only did he not send troops to Guanzhong, but he was afraid that it would cause misunderstandings. At first, he only sent Pei Mao, and later he only sent Zhong Yao to hold the throne?

Even in the early days, he built Tongguan?

Before, Lin Chen didn't quite understand.

But after this incident, he finally understood.

It’s not that Boss Cao doesn’t want to, but this is really too dangerous.

It is dangerous, and if Duan Wei uses a little force, he can easily achieve the goal of blocking the passage of the army.

Therefore, among the generals under Dong Zhuo's account, Duan Wei became the only one who died.

Cao Cao's march into Guanzhong was also after his death.

"He probably saw this, right?"

Lin Chen glanced at the mountains behind him and suddenly understood Cao Cao in his heart.

In the past, he didn't understand why Cao Cao in history was indulged in the Guanzhong Group and jumped repeatedly.

Now, he understands.

But he would not make the same choice as Cao Cao.

Think about this.

Lin Chen's expression slowly became serious.

"Li Yan!" He turned around and looked at Li Yan.

"The last one will be here!"

Li Yan, who wanted to make contributions, was thinking hard about how to cross this journey if he advanced.
