After Zhang Fei learned about the latest military information from Pang Tong, and was ready to attack, he was about to announce the departure of the entire army almost immediately. He himself was in a hurry to put on his horse and start the expedition.

In recent years, Zhang Fei has been depressed enough. Before Liu Bei became emperor, he had gained a lot of opportunities for war and had the only one to stand on his own. However, after Liu Bei became emperor, he was arranged to fight and fight against the enemy in various places for three years, and he was deployed on secondary fronts.

No wonder he was so anxious that he was still hundreds of miles away from the enemy's territory, so he shouldn't have been wearing armor at all. He couldn't help but put on his clothes first and rushed forward. He would rather transfer a few more horses on the way, so he was so energetic that he had nowhere to vent.

That posture was so angry that Huo Yuanjia was holding his own apprentice, punching him over, and then shouting, "This punch has been in 20 years! Can you block it!" He was still irritable.

Pang Tong and Zhang Fei have been working together for less than a month. Zhang Fei has not yet been obedient to Pang Tong, and the cooperation between the two is still in the running-in period, and it takes more time to form a thorough trust.

Of course, not all the problems lie in Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei's attitude towards talented people of scholars and officials is quite good.

The key is that Pang Tong himself is more or less arrogant. Even though he has been a grassroots staff officer at the center for several years, he still feels a little disdainful of pleasing his superiors.

At this moment, after half of the military information report, Zhang Fei was about to leave, and Pang Tong couldn't help but tease: "General Cheqi and Cavalry must not be impatient. It's better to listen to all the military information in the east."

Zhang Fei put down the horse whip he just found: "What's the good thing? Yuan Xi has gone to the strong support. Could it be that Mr. still advised me not to disperse my troops, not to accept Zhongshan and Changshan together?"

Pang Tong smiled with a folding fan and said, "The general is enterprising, how can he stop him? This goal is not a rash. If the general finishes listening to the following news, he might even think that the goal has been set.

Today, I just received a cavalry scout from the grassland outside the mouth. It was sent by an elite guard cavalry beside the guard general. They said that they had arrived at the Dashi Port in Liaodong eight days ago and arrived at the Tuhe River in Changli County, Liaodong five days ago.

There was no obstruction by the Cao army, and no battle occurred on the sea. It seemed that because the sea was vast, Cao Cao's fleets and patrols from the East Sea of ​​Xuzhou and Donglai of Qingzhou to and from Sanhan to the east sea of ​​Xuzhou, did not run into General Wei and General Zhennan, and passed through safely, which was smoother than the original plan.

After General Wei arrived successfully, he successfully contacted the Liaodong Mifujun. Mr. Mifujun was extremely courteous to General Wei and General Zhennan, and asked the army to take a break.

General Wei also sent a hundred cavalry scouts, and used three hundred horses to detour from the grassland outside the mouth, and went to Yanmen and entered the entrance of Mayi. He sent the information this morning and asked the general to wait for an opportunity to attack him."

After hearing this, Zhang Fei was about to jump up, and his heart became more and more anxious to make achievements.

It’s all because the situation in other directions is too good! Those colleagues in the game found that there was a chance to transfer high-ranking officials, so they repeatedly delayed him for nearly ten days to create the current situation, but even Zhao Yun arrived in Liaodong safely!

According to the pre-war plan, Zhang Fei of course knew that Zhao Yun's purpose was to help Mi Zhu assist in defending Liaodong, without any offensive mission. He and Taishici were responsible for land and sea routes.

During the sailing and march northward, if it is intercepted by the general Sun Quan, who is now under Cao Cao, or Lu Xun's sea ship, Taishici will also be responsible for escorting Zhao Yun and killing the enemy's intercepting warship.

Unexpectedly, because the sea was vast and the new navigation method was adopted, the initial plan was a bit redundant, and it was not caught by Cao's sea boat at all. After making so many preparations, it was in vain.

However, from a strategic perspective, it is better to be prepared for any trouble. Anyway, when making a consultant plan, it is not much cost to expect the enemy to be lenient. Ensuring the smooth implementation of the strategy is more important than anything else.

Zhang Fei didn't know how Zhao Yun did the exact journey, and after arriving in Liaodong, he communicated with Yanmen through the grassland, so he focused on asking these questions.

Pang Tong obviously came to see him after sorting out the information, but he figured it out and explained one by one:

The reason why Zhao Yun and Taishici were able to sail in the East China Sea smoothly for nearly half a month and were not met was mainly because they adopted the "longitude navigation method" (of course Pang Tong did not know this nautical term). Simply put, it was that after entering the sea from the Zhoushan Islands in the estuary of the Yangtze River, the sand fleet sailed to the north.

This kind of navigation saves a lot of time than sailing relatively close to the coastline, because it is far away from the shore and is not easy to be discovered on the vast ocean.

Moreover, when you can reach the near Donglai Peninsula in Qingzhou, you need to go around a little, bypass the tip of Donglai Peninsula, and then go north across the Bohai Strait to reach Dashi.

This measure seems to be just a few words, and it is ordinary, but only those who have really come into contact with sailing and naval warfare will know that it is also difficult. At the same time, other maritime undertakings were basically still on the offshore navigation less than a hundred miles offshore. If you dare to follow the compass pointing north, you will be a famous naval general.

If Taishi Ci had not lived in Donglai and Liaodong for a long time, and had been in charge of the navy for several years, and had repeatedly experienced actual combat in the Yangtze River and South China Sea, it would be impossible to drive a route that would not be able to rely on the shore for half a month for a long time.

Of course, there is no need to pay a price to drive like this. For Zhao Yun, the price is that he can no longer carry a large number of cavalry with war horses with the ship. Because the horses cannot withstand the continuous storm and no supply on the shore for half a month, even if he survives, his quality and service life will be greatly reduced.

Fortunately, this time it was to support the battlefield in Liaodong, so when Taishi Ci discussed the military strategy with Zhao Yun before sending troops, he mentioned this choice, Zhao Yun suddenly discovered that this problem could be avoided - Mi Zhu from Liaodong is not many other things, but there are many horses, which is a typical horse-producing area on the northern border.

Therefore, Zhao Yun could not only take the elite cavalry of his own lineage without horses. After taking a boat to Liaodong, he asked Mi Zhu for horses, and used Mi Zhu's horse to fight Mi Zhu's battles, and handle Mi Zhu's affairs. It was very fair.

The only disadvantage is that after Zhao Yun's cavalry arrived in Liaodong, they could not immediately develop combat effectiveness, because after the cavalry replaced with new horses, it would take some time to get used to familiarize themselves with their horses. However, it is definitely more than enough to assist Mi Zhu in the inside defensive battle first.

In the end, Zhao Yun brought 30,000 people to support the sea, including 10,000 veterans of Youzhou cavalry, who were also honored to return to their hometown, and 20,000 were Taishi Ci's sailors.

Zhao Yun also thought it very clearly. After returning from the Battle of Linyi's Destruction of the Kingdom, one-third of the soldiers who were expeditions on the sea were lost. Those who survived were elite soldiers who adapted to the ocean climate from the south to the north. The soldiers with rich qualifications should cherish them.

At that time, he submitted a statement to Liu Bei, asking the division of the navy and army in the future, so that the experienced naval soldiers would not fight the war of attrition on land. Liu Bei felt it made sense, so after discussing with Li Su, he also approved it.

So this time, Zhao Yun's 30,000 people will try not to participate in the land war as much as possible, and will only be responsible for sea interception and cross-sea transportation. If you really want to fight a tough battle on the shore, you will rely on the ten thousand Youzhou cavalry, as well as Mi Zhu and Xu Rong's troops.

As for the final way to send letters through the grassland and contact Zhang Fei, this matter is not as difficult as expected. The main reason is that the nomadic barbarians outside the pass have been conquered in recent years.

The remnants of Wuhuan actually had completely surrendered. When Liu Bei was in Liaodong twelve years ago, he conquered and established his authority. Liu Yu and his group had a high prestige among the Hus in the grassland. After Yuan Shao stole Liu Yu's inheritance, he also had soft control over Wuhuan.

Other people in Liaodong are mainly Fuyu people. In recent years, they have been provoked by Mi Zhu's border trade policies. In addition to Xu Rong's military strike, they have been dealt with in a very obedient manner.

Xu Rong mainly relied on direct killing to establish his authority, and eliminated the Thorned Tribes one by one. Mi Zhu used the merchant's tricks to pull and fight, trying to establish a trade order on the grassland, and only followed the authorized border trade of the Fuyu tribe to discuss the franchise system.

Which tribe is most friendly and surrendered to the Han Dynasty, then do business with whom and sells valuable supplies from the grassland to him. If there are repeated recurrences and find excuses, then bring another tribe to trade with each other and instigate them to kill each other.

Or make sure that when Xu Rong takes action against a tribe, other tribes promise to continue to trade with the Han Dynasty, gloating and happy to see the Han Dynasty kill their competitors.

In short, Zhao Yun's elite scouts must pass through Liaodong and western Liaoning, and even the Wuhuan area of ​​the three counties. Be careful, it is completely possible to be careful.

The last trouble was mainly the Xianbei tribe outside the northern pass on Yanmen and Daijun. The Xianbei people were always completely hostile to the Han Dynasty, and they were completely different from Wuhuan and Fuyu.

Fortunately, Lu Bu was forced out of the pass last year and started a Xianbei head trade, the fierce Xianbei tribes had greatly reduced on the grassland north of Yanmen and Daijun.

Now Lu Bu is just holding on to the Shengle City, the former Tuoba Liwei, as his new base, otherwise Lu Bu will be homeless. This is all fighting for his own living space. The Xianbei men killed can even exchange for military supplies and property after chopping off their heads. Of course, they have to work overtime.

This is where a small group of people and horses are unobstructed on the northern grasslands. From the Liaoxi Corridor to Mayi north of Yanmen County, the actual distance is 1,500 miles, and the cavalry team can establish a connection even if they walk one person and three horses for six days.

...

After thoroughly straightening the latest enemy situation, Pang Tong took the opportunity to persuade Zhang Fei to fine-tune the offensive strategy in order to achieve better results.

Zhang Fei's attitude was very clear: "As long as you don't delay the speed of progress, you can discuss the details of the strategy, but if we delay the opportunity to find the enemy, you don't have to think about it. Now the situation in our army is so good, just when you are trying to win the credit, whoever takes the lead will make the best."

Pang Tong patiently explained: "It will not slow down the general's advance. Didn't the general say that because of the changes in form, would he have to be taken into account with Changshan Zhongshan in Shannan?

Our army had to advance along the Sanggan River to advance along the Sanggan River and Hutuo River. The northern route was the main force, which was also the originally planned advance route. We went to the northern foot of Yanshan Mountain and set out first. The goal was to take over the county and Shanggu, and then Juyongguan built by His Majesty when he was pacifying Zhang Chun twelve years ago, and crossed Yanshan to attack Jixian.

The south road takes Yanshan South Road, from Hengshan-Yanshan and the Jingxing Pass between Hengshan-Yanshan and Taihang to Changshan Zhending, and then from Wuji to Zhongshan. I think this method can prevent the risk of the northern road from being blocked in Juyongguan when it marched on a single line even if it captured Daijun and Shanggu, it was still blocked in Juyongguan, Yanshan.
