The rain in the mountains is always unpredictable. It will fall and stop for a while.
Team Leader Sun staggered up, groping in the dark, and put on the Taoist robe that had just been issued some time ago. He pushed the leg of a soldier lying in front of him to the side, making some space.
Walk outside the hut...
The soldier was completely unaware, as if he was still eating delicious food in his sleep. He pursed his lips, muttered something, and continued to sleep soundly.
"This bastard..."
Captain Sun couldn't help but touch his belly, and found that he didn't have the flustered feeling or cold feeling on his back that he usually felt when he woke up in the middle of the night. Only his lower belly reminded him that it was time to do something, and he couldn't help but smile happily.
At dusk, guests came to the military camp.
Looking at the behavior of that noble clan, and then looking at the big and round bodyguards following that clan, Captain Sun almost immediately gave up on using the knife, and sent someone to notify the old man in the back mountain while greeting him with a smile.
As expected, the person who came turned out to be the Li family from Guanzhong, a Jingzhao official worth 600 shi!
When they saw Mr. Li taking out the black ribbon, the old man who was usually aloof and wished he could use his nostrils to look at people when talking to him all made a puckered smile and made his lips sticky, not to mention Captain Sun leading the team around him.
The order chasing officials I had seen were just soldiers of Erbaishi's county and township officials, and almost all of them were a little at a loss.
The style of the gentry disciples in Guanzhong is just different.
Naturally, the dilapidated huts in the military village were disdainful, and even the wooden house of the old man who greeted him attentively was obviously disgusted. So he found a high ground in the mountain behind the military village and surrounded it with oilcloth and cloth curtains.
A "cloth room" with several square rooms!
In the Han Dynasty, cloth, like grain, was both hard currency and could be directly exchanged for money or items. Therefore, in the eyes of Sun Dui and his subordinates, such a move was tantamount to the same in later generations.
It was as if Brother Hao took the banknotes and put them on his body...
Not only that, everyone, including Captain Sun, also got three wide and long strips of bacon and a whole bag of corn! Fragrant corn porridge, plus a slice of bacon with crystal clear fat.
, everyone was so eager to eat the wooden bowls together.
Not only that, the descendants of the Li family from Guanzhong also said that there are clansmen coming here later, so they asked the old Taoist and Captain Sun to lead the good students to prepare some firewood, hot water and so on. Naturally, they also thanked them.
Lao Dao and Captain Sun were naturally very busy and agreed.
Looking at the posture of this Li family disciple, it was already shocking to Captain Sun. He turned out to be just the leader of the family. So when the real head of the family arrives, who knows how majestic he will be?
Although Mrs. Li said that corn and wheat noodles would be sent later as a thank you gift, the people in the military village who had not seen serious food for a long time still had to add water to the big pot for cooking corn porridge three times.
After drinking it in half, I felt satisfied and touched my swollen belly, and wandered back to the hut. I was excitedly talking about the style of the Guanzhong nobles, chattering for more than half an hour, and then fell asleep one after another.
After all, Captain Sun was a little older, and he did drink two more bowls of corn porridge, one thick and one thin after mixing with water. In the middle of the night, he couldn't hold it in any longer, so he opened the straw curtain and left the hut.
The rain is not heavy, just light and drizzle.
As soon as the curtain was opened, it was floating on his face. Captain Sun snored, then walked two steps to the edge of the hut. While untying his belt, he raised his head and looked at the place surrounded by a curtain not far away.
One glance...
But at this glance, Captain Sun didn't see any movement in the curtain over there, but suddenly he saw a strong man's face suddenly appear in the rain and fog!
This strong man seemed familiar, like the guard of the Li family of the Guanzhong noble clan, but he was now wearing two levels of armor, neatly draped, and holding a short straight blade in his hand. The cold light on the front made Captain Sun lead his pores.
All of them stood up in an instant!
The strong man looked up and down, seemed to smile, and then sent the short straight blade in his hand straight forward, and it went straight into Captain Sun's chest and abdomen...
Captain Sun opened his mouth, and before he could scream out a miserable howl, a strong man rushed forward and covered his mouth tightly. He could only make a few "hehe" sounds, and then he felt
The cold front with a short straight blade gradually froze my whole body, and I slowly lost my strength. Even when I peeed and flowed down the roots of my legs, I couldn't feel any warmth.
As the blood surged out, all the strength in Captain Sun's body quickly evaporated, and he collapsed. However, at the last moment when his eyes closed, he saw a dozen more figures appearing like ghosts in the rain and mist.
, all with sharp armor and agile agility, they rushed straight into the hut!
"Be quick with your hands and feet! Go two people and unbolt the door! Open the gate of the village! Raise the fire and give the signal!"
Gong Jun whispered instructions while pulling out the short straight blade, and casually wiped the blood on Captain Sun's body.
Amidst the muffled hums that sounded in the hut, there was finally a long and short scream of someone, but it soon subsided. A person came out of the hut and came to Gong Jun, while cleaning the blood on the short blade.
Shaking it off, he chuckled and reported: "Junhou... Hehe, it's too easy. They are all a bunch of idiots... Everything is done inside... By the way, this short blade is really good. It goes in and out very smoothly. That's it.
It's a little shorter...it would be better if it were thicker and longer..."
Gong Jun snorted and said: "You know nothing! Why don't you get a ring-shou knife if you like it? Bastard, in a place like this, you can't use a spear or a sword at all! Only a prince like this specially allows the workshop to be used.
The forged short blade is the most practical! Go back and check again, and if you feel guilty, just add another knife!"
The man responded, chuckled, and got back into the hut.
Accompanied by his own bodyguards, Li Guan looked at the murderous Gong Jun. Although he was wearing a big cloak, Li Guan still felt a little chilly. These people in front of him were the real killers on the battlefield!
It is so relaxed and freehand that for them, killing is no worse than killing a chicken or a sheep!
The defensive military posture on the Tangluo Road in Hanzhong was so lax and dilapidated, which was somewhat beyond Li Guan's expectation. This was at least an important passage into Hanzhong, and it should have some appearance, but everything in front of him was unexpected.
Unexpectedly easy.
This wave of people are almost like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, dying with their hands tied...
I don’t know what he was thinking about, maybe he was worried about Li Guan’s future fate, maybe he was timid about the group of murderers in front of him, or for some other reason, the guard beside Li Guan whispered: “…
Lang Jun, there are still two military camps... they may not be so smooth... Although Hanzhong is unprepared, Lang Jun sees that this mountain road is difficult even for light troops. How can they transport food and grass?
Come here? If so...you still have to be careful..."
Li Guan was silent for a moment, but only sighed slightly and said: "Don't mention this again. Now that you have come here, there is no reason to give up halfway..."
"Mr. Lang," the guard continued in a low voice, "there is no siege equipment prepared in the Western Army... Although these are elites in front of us, they can naturally attack these crude outlying military strongholds with ease, but if we want to attack
The city...this..."
"...What you said makes sense..." Li Guan whispered, "...but since you can also see it, General Zhengxi is naturally prepared...perhaps Zhengxi has already made arrangements...let this matter go.
Let me mention it again... Well, looking at the fire on this mountain road, General Zhengxi should be preparing to come up, and Sui came forward to greet him..."
………………………………
The mountain road is extremely difficult to travel, and it is even more difficult at night.
If Gong Jun hadn't left many marks along the way and warned those behind him, they might miss this torch and fall into the mountain stream. At the corner of the rock, along the
On the rugged mountain road, it is almost like one person is holding on to the other person's belt and moving step by step.
Fei Qian stood on a rock beside the mountain road, looking at the situation in front of him and frowning.
This is the first military stronghold!
There are two more to come!
And from here, we enter the most difficult part of the Tangluo Road, the Tianpan Road known as the eighty-four bends!
Li Ru stood next to Fei Qian, coughing from time to time, perhaps because of the cold night.
"Wen You, I seem to have forgotten to calculate something..." Fei Qian looked at the mountain road in front of him with some embarrassment, frowning and said, "... Now when we enter Hanzhong, the dry food we have prepared is enough to support us, but Hanzhong
The food and grass... If this is transferred, such a mountain road..."
When he decided to go south to Hanzhong, Fei Qian brought almost all the dry food stored in Pingyang. This way he could ensure that he would not need to carry too much food when walking on the winding mountain road, which would increase the difficulty of traveling and delay the journey. But the problem is
The dry food in Feiqian and Pingyang were fine compressed flour cakes, but the food in Hanzhong was not!
Even if Fei Qian wanted to reprocess these grains and grasses in Hanzhong, how could he successfully transform the grains and grasses into compressed noodle cakes without a large number of equipment such as water mills in Huang's workshop that worked day and night?
There is no way to change the form. Such bags of grain and grass are transported from Hanzhong. Not to mention taking up space, the transportation cost on this mountain road alone is many times higher than on flat land!
If we really take this tangluo road, if ten pavilions of grain and grass can be transported to one pavilion, it will be considered good!
With such a huge consumption of food and grass, what is paid is not proportional to what is received. How can we provide more food and grass to the refugees in Guanzhong?
Li Ru's eyes flashed and he said: "General, there is no need to worry... The way to transport food, You Ruo's intention is probably to take the Baoxie Road... But there is another way. Although the distance is longer, it is better than the Baoxie Road.
For example, it is convenient for the present and can relieve immediate worries..."
"Huh? Is it better than Baoxie Dao?" Fei Qian couldn't help but asked with some doubts.
"The Baoxie Road goes up against the Baoshui River and down along the bank of the river. The mountain road in the middle is transported by human power without stopping. It is enough to transport grain to Guanzhong... However, the Baoshui Plank Road was burned down and will eventually need time to be repaired..."
Li Ru said, "Instead of taking the Qishan Mountains, we can take a detour to Longxi. Although it is farther, it will be much more convenient since we don't have to cross mountains and ridges..."
"Qishan?" Fei Qian pinched the beard on his chin.
Although this place name is very familiar, is it really good to go to Qishan?
This circle is not a little round...
"To the west of Hanzhong is Mianyang, and to the west of Mianyang is Yangpingguan..." Li Ru explained with a confident smile, "To the southwest of Yangping is Jinniu Road, and to the northwest is Qishan Road...
"
"The road to Qishan Mountain has gentle mountains and roads between the mountains, which are convenient for transporting grain and grass. There are also Jushui, Donghe, Xihe, Baihe, Donggou, etc., which can be slightly transported by ship. If you go northwest, there will be a place a hundred miles away, which is surrounded by
The embrace of mountains and the intersection of three rivers can serve as a relay..."
"During the Xiping period, Yu Shengqing, the prefect of Wudu, dredged water conservancy and opened the Qingni River canal. As a result, the area was rich in salt and rice, ten times more than before... It was the rainy season at this time, and the river was high and deep. It was a good time to go boating, and you could reach Xiabian
"Tao!" Li Ru continued, "But if it is the autumn and winter seasons, when the mountains are high and the water is dry, boats are not allowed to sail..."
"Xia Bian?" Fei Qian couldn't help but repeat.
"That's right, you can go down the Weishui River to Chencang in the east of Xiabendao, and you can go to Tianshui in the north..." Li Ru nodded and said, "When you go down to Xiabendao, you have already left the mountains, and the road is smooth...Xiabiao northwest, about 150 kilometers
Ten miles away is Jianwei, with mountains on both sides, gentle terrain, fertile land, and many wealthy households..."
"Huh?" Fei Qian became more and more confused the more he listened. Why did he feel like he was going further and further away? When would he be able to return to Guanzhong?
Li Ru seemed to see Fei Qian's doubts and said with a smile: "The food in Hanzhong can be transported here... A certain person has sent people to Jianweixiabian to discuss with the local big family in the name of the general to exchange food for food.
, it should not be difficult... In this way, we can deal with the urgent needs first..."
"So that's it..." Fei Qian suddenly realized.
Xun Chen's plan was indeed good, taking the Baoshui River and Xianshui River, and then using people to transport them in between. However, after all, the plank road at Baoshui River was burned down, so it would definitely be delayed for a while in the early stage. But after Li Ru's addition, the entire strategy
The structure was immediately perfect.
From Hanzhong to Jianwei, and then from Jianwei around Qishan to Longyou back to Guanzhong, it seems like a longer journey, but in fact it is equivalent to finding the big merchants in Jianwei first to borrow grain and grass, so on the whole
, it is more convenient and faster than taking the Baoxie Road in the early days!
The key is to shorten the vacuum period for Hanzhong grain and grass to help the refugees in Guanzhong, which is more conducive to Fei Qian's resettlement and subsequent population arrangements in Guanzhong...
"Wen You really has a detailed plan!" Fei Qian thought about it and felt that Li Ru's arrangement was indeed good, so he praised, "By the way, I wonder who Wen You sent to build Wei?"
"My surname is Jiang, and my given name is Zhongyi. I am from Tianshui... He can be both civil and military, and he can be regarded as a general..." Li Ru said, "Because the army is marching and time is tight, I can't meet with the general..."
"Jiang Ji, Jiang Zhongyi?" Fei Qian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
This name seems very familiar...
Okay, the problem of grain and grass transportation has almost been completed... The author also admires himself very much. He actually sets up difficult problems for himself, and then finds a way to solve it... As for whether there are any mistakes... I don't care, even if there are
Just treat it as invisible... It can be said that after taking Hanzhong and having food and grass, we are basically about to enter the fast lane... Well, we are about to...
