Chapter 210: Jia Xu

"My lord, if our army wants to enter Shu directly from the direction of Liangzhou, it is almost entirely impossible."

Li Ru stood up at the appropriate moment to analyze.

Immediately, he pointed to the map hanging on the wall and said:

"To enter Shu from the direction of Liangzhou, one must cross Qishan."

"Given the steepness and difficult road conditions of Qishan, for the soldiers to enter the land of Shu would be as difficult as ascending to heaven."

"Since the road from Liangzhou is impassable, only the direction of Hanzhong remains."

"As for the Hanzhong direction, the Xiegu Road and the Baoxie Road, due to the road construction that has been ongoing, are now nearly four-fifths complete."

"But for the remaining one-fifth, Zhang Lu has been finding excuses to avoid repairing it."

"Looking at it this way, it seems he is guarding against our army using these two roads to invade Hanzhong."

These words from Li Ru gave the generals a certain degree of understanding of the current situation.

If one wants to enter Shu from Liangzhou, one must first cross Qishan.

The difficulty of this is not ordinary.

The steepness and obstacles of Qishan are by no means comparable to ordinary mountain ranges.

Besides this.

If the Shu army were to set an ambush at the exit of Qishan, the Dong Zhuo army would have a high probability of falling into a desperate situation of total annihilation!

Therefore.

The road from Liangzhou to Shu is completely unfeasible.

That leaves only entering Shu from Hanzhong.

But this scoundrel Zhang Lu is also a person with many tricks up his sleeve.

Although he previously agreed to help the Dong Zhuo army with road construction.

He is dead set against letting the remaining one-fifth of the road be completed.

The intention is very clear.

It is precisely because he fears the Dong Zhuo army will use the Xiegu and Baoxie roads to seize the opportunity to invade Hanzhong.

"Damn that Zhang Lu!"

"How dare he act in defiance of orders!"

"My lord, this general requests to lead troops to attack Hanzhong and capture Zhang Lu alive!"

Hua Xiong immediately stood up to volunteer.

Before the words had even faded.

Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, and others were not to be outdone.

One after another, they stood up.

Lu Bu, however, narrowed his eyes slightly, showing no intention of requesting to go to battle.

It was not that he was not proactive.

It was just that the surroundings of Hanzhong were almost entirely mountain ranges, and there was simply no use for the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry for the time being. ===== CHAPTER 211 =====
