What disappointed Liu Shang was that when they had spent three days and finally got around behind the mountain beam, they found that the Shangjun defenders had already destroyed the main road on the mountain beam in the north. All the roads are those few trails they found by the hunters who found a small village by accident when they were walking around in the mountains these days.

After placing the army in a mountain col for rest and recuperation, under the leadership of the hunter, Liu Shang went to a path to observe the situation in person, but he observed for nearly a quarter of an hour, but he did not think of a way to go up the mountain beam.

Looking through the gaps in the canopy bushes, Liu Shang found that this was indeed a trail up the mountain, but it was obviously destroyed. The entire trail had been broken into a cliff about several meters high. It was originally on the trail. Several of the big rocks had been pried away and fell into the valley in front of them.

Not only that, on the mountain beam, there is still a checkpoint at the original trail location. From the bottom of the mountain, this is a stone wall built up by boulders, directly blocking the trail location.

Judging from Liu Shang's position, the military formation above the mountain beam is simply a military formation built on a high platform suspended in the air, and it is almost impossible to climb from other positions.

This is the case for an inconspicuous path in front of him, Liu Shang can imagine, and the rest of the situation is basically the same.

As expected, when he saw himself coming back, several other generals also gathered around, looking at him with hope.

Liu Shang looked at a few people and shook his head imperceptibly. The others were disappointed. Liu Shang winked at several people, then turned his head and walked towards a clearing. A few people knew, and quickly followed.

After several people arrived, Liu Shang signaled the soldiers to retreat to a few steps away, and then persuaded them to say: "Everyone, you have already seen this. It is impossible to go up the mountain on this trail. How about the rest of you?"

According to the captives and hunters, there were three trails to the north of the mountain beam. In addition to the one that Liu Shang saw, there was another one that Ren Fang and Yuan Quan looked at each.

Seeing Liu Shang looking towards him, both of them shook their heads. Seeing this situation, everyone was frustrated.

After a pause, Liu Shang said: "Everyone, it seems that it is not feasible to use the capture of the mountain beam army to help the army capture Dingyang. If I am not mistaken, the Dingyang army has all the other roads up the mountain beam. Destroyed, so the only solution for now is to take the second road-continue westward and go to the west of Dingyang City."

When everyone heard it, they all raised their spirits. It was originally one of the alternatives to seize the army formation on the mountain beam. If it is not possible, there is a second way to go.

Seeing that everyone had recovered, Liu Shang said: "On the way back, I have already inquired clearly with the hunter. He knows that there is another trail that goes to the west. It is said that it only takes more than two days and less than three days. We have brought food for ten days. Now three days have passed. If we can save a day, then the army will be more confident of success. Therefore, I decided that the army will immediately set off to the west of Dingyang City."

"No!" the other four people responded together;

"Okay, this place is too close to the army formation on the mountain beam. We will set off immediately, leave here a little further and then camp and rest. And I have already said to the hunters that when we get down to their village, we will move them inside. All of the prey in the country are bought and taken away, and the rest of the food is also bought as much as possible. If the army can carry more food, take as much as possible."

After several people discussed and decided, they immediately assembled their troops and set off.

The five thousand army, with the iron eagle sergeant as the leader, and Liu Shang are leading him to observe the Orion of the army formation on the mountain beam. He is a young man in his twenties called Shishi.

The young man was very talkative, and he kept talking with Liu Shang along the way. After returning to the small village, Liu Shang ordered the army to stop outside the village, and then led a hundred soldiers and stones into their village together. After the villagers in the village heard that Tang Jun was going to spend a high price to buy all his prey and most of his food, everyone's last guard against Tang Jun disappeared.

Under the greetings of a few old hunters in the village, every family took out all their prey, but rice and other staple foods were very few. After all, they all need to buy some food from the county outside the mountain. Enough for one year.

This is a small village of more than ten households. It is located halfway up the mountain. There are about a hundred people. Except for the twenty young and strong hunting outdoors, the rest are old and weak women. When Liu Shang put a large amount of money in front of them, everyone was happy from ear to ear. The money was enough to pay twice the price they paid to take the prey to the county seat.

After five thousand Tang Jun had a full meal outside the small village, and then took a good night's rest, the next day, under the leadership of Shitou and another middle-aged hunter of Uncle Qian, he headed towards the western mountain col.

Two days later, they finally reached a mountain ridge west of Dingyang. Shi and Uncle Qian led Liu Shang behind a huge boulder above the mountain beam, and pointed to the official road hundreds of steps away: "General, you see, the front is the official road from Dingyang to Fushi, next to the official road. There is a Xiaowubao at the foot of the mountain. All the people who live there are people with the surname Fu. The name is Fujiabao. It is said that it has been in Shangjun for more than 100 years."

"Uncle Qian, how far is it from Dingyang City?" Liu Shang asked;

"About seven or eight miles away!" Uncle Qian thought for a while, and said unsurely;

"Are there other villages around here?"

"From Fujiapu to the east, there is Caojia Village on the other side of the river along the official road, and there is also a Shijia Village four miles west of Dingyang City. Otherwise, it is along Fujiapu all the way to the west. "

After hearing Uncle Qian’s words, Liu Shang thought of his army going west from Hukou all the way to Dingyang City. All the villages were empty, and the Fujiapu in front of him was obviously crowded. In the evening, smoke was rising in the fort.

It seems that Dingyang City has moved all the people in the villages east of Dingyang to the county seat, fearing that his army can get intelligence and even support from residents outside the city, but that is for the small people in the mountains like Uncle Qian and others. The village simply cannot take care of everything.

Thinking of this, Liu Shang carefully observed the dock in front of him. This is a stone fort built against a mountain, with a length and width of less than four hundred steps. The situation inside should be like a family of fifty households. Just like two to three hundred people. However, the fort wall looks very strong, about one foot high, and people can still be seen moving faintly on it.

If it's getting dark today, it seems that your army will be able to arrive at the fort just after dark, and it will happen to be able to invade the fort at night, so that the army can rest for a good night, and tomorrow will begin to cope with the siege army from the east.

Thinking of this, Liu Shang led a few people back from the mountain beam, then gathered the other generals, and talked about his ideas with the few people. Everyone felt that this arrangement was feasible, so the army began to prepare.
