There are no people from Shuzhong here, and they, the people from the Central Plains, can't feel sorry for the aristocratic families in Shuzhong. With this mentality of "other people's children will never die", Xiahou Dun and others immediately felt relaxed.
After deciding on the big strategic policy, Xiahou Dun immediately found people from a big family in Jianwei County to convey the army's intentions.
Of course, the statement must be modified. The meaning becomes that on the premise that it is impossible to reach CD first, we must first ensure the safety of Jianwei County and the safety of the Jianwei County family. On this basis, we must advance step by step towards CD and maximize the results of the victory.
.
To this, the local aristocratic families in Jianwei County expressed great welcome and praised Xiahou Dun as worthy of being the number one general in Cao's army. He indeed had the style of a general, acted calmly, and did not underestimate the enemy's aggressive advance. This was a mature and prudent policy.
The aristocratic families in Shu County could only be dumb and unable to explain their sufferings. No matter how anxious they were, they could not let Cao Jun fly directly to CD. After losing the opportunity, they had no choice but to admit it.
Fortunately, there are not many aristocratic families in Shu County. During Liu Yan's reign, in order to strengthen the central government's rule, Liu Yan has been sparing no effort to suppress aristocratic families in Shu County and increase the power of the Dongzhou faction in Shu County, resulting in a large number of aristocratic families in Shu County.
With the migration of other counties, a situation of even rivalry near CD was formed.
Now it seems that it is not all bad, at least I am not afraid of being blamed by Wang Xuan.
After incorporating the Yizhou soldiers from Jianwei County, the army had expanded to about 120,000 people. Xiahou Dun now divided his troops into two groups. He personally led the troops along the way and continued to march towards CD. With the help of the local aristocratic families,
Defense lines were deployed in the cities of Jianyang, Ziyang, Zizhong, and Han'an along the tributaries of the Yangtze River. The other group, led by Li Tong, went upstream along another tributary of the Yangtze River, that is, the Min River, at Yibin, Qianwei, and Nan'an (Leshan).
, establish a defense line in Wuyang area.
Vow to turn a surprise attack into a bad battle!
…
Unlike Wang Xuan who was advancing towards CD without any obstacles, Guan Yu who took the eastern route encountered too many difficulties along the way.
As soon as you enter Bajun, you can clearly feel the disgust of Yizhou people. All of this is of course attributed to the operation of the local Yizhou family.
"Why did the army stop?" Guan Yu asked with a serious face.
"Reporting to the Lord, a large hole has been dug in the mountain road ahead, making it impossible for the army to pass."
"Huh?" Guan Yu frowned and motioned for the messenger to lead the way.
After a while, Guan Yu looked ahead and saw that the depth was only one meter, but he had cut off a section of the road that was more than four meters long, and the corners of his eyebrows kept beating.
"Build the road as soon as possible to ensure the speed of the army's advance!" After saying just one sentence, Guan Yu turned and left.
In fact, it doesn't matter if it's just a big pit. If it's just marching, it won't be too big of a problem. But for logistics, it's a disaster. There's no need to think about large four-wheeled vehicles. The problem is that even small carriages can't
Tong Tong, even if he took out the 'unicycle' designed by Wang Xuan, he was still helpless in the face of the big pits.
The road must be filled.
It is easy to destroy but difficult to build. It is not difficult to knock out the surrounding rocks to fill the road. The difficulty lies in filling the road flat enough. It is easy for those people to destroy it, but it is extremely difficult for the army to repair it again.
As a result, the marching speed of the army became difficult. Starting from the discovery of the first dug road, four more were discovered in succession. As a result, after a whole day, the original marching speed changed from sixty miles to ten miles...
The slower the marching speed, the greater the logistical pressure, which seems to cause a chain reaction.
"How about letting you go to the surrounding villages to buy grain?" Jia Xu, who was sitting next to Guan Yu, asked after seeing Guan Yu's ugly face.
"Report to the Lord, I didn't buy it." Liao Hua's face didn't look good either. He hadn't completed this task. It would be strange if his face looked better.
"Why?" Guan Yu looked at Liao Hua with squinted eyes.
"The gates of those villages are closed and they just won't sell it, even if the officials pay double or triple the price."
After hearing what Liao Hua said, several people knew that this was obviously not a matter of money, but someone was causing trouble and deliberately not selling it.
"I think the people who dug the roads were done by people from the nearby villages!" Gan Ning shouted with a hot temper, "If you ask me, I'll just knock on the door and kill them all, and you won't even bother buying them.
Food money!”
He was angry again.
"I think it will work!" Jia Xu nodded in agreement and stretched out his hand to indicate to Gan Ning, "I will leave this task to General Gan. I think it will be done immediately and I will kill them all without leaving a trace."
"Uh...hehe, hehe, I'm just saying angry words." Gan Ning touched his nose and gave in decisively.
If it were any other army, the worst they could do was to directly kill people and steal food. But the problem is that Wang Xuan has extremely strict requirements for military discipline from the beginning, coupled with the instructors' day-in-day ideological education and propaganda, this kind of thing against the common people is no matter what.
It's impossible to do it.
"The army continues to advance." Guan Yu simply ordered. It was useless to find those villages. He knew this.
…
There was a sudden commotion in the army, and bursts of shouts were heard. Guan Yu frowned. The recent difficulties in marching had already made him extremely depressed, and now this situation happened again, making Guan Yu's face turn livid.
After a while, the soldiers who went to check the situation returned and said, "Report to the king, something happened. The person in charge of logistics stopped everyone from drinking water, saying that there was a problem with the water source."
Guan Yu stood up suddenly, his expression became solemn, and called Jia Xu Gan Ning. The three of them followed the logistics people to the upper reaches of the water source.
"Your Majesty, please see, there are a lot of human and animal corpses soaked in the water. The water source here has been polluted, and you may be infected with the plague if you drink it." The person in charge of logistics said, pointing to the white and swollen corpses soaked in the army.
"That's so damn cruel!" Gan Ning gritted his molars and squeezed out these words from between his teeth, while Guan Yu was so angry that his whole body glowed green.
"Look for clean water again." Jia Xu shook his head and ordered, calling Guan Yu and Gan Ning to return directly.
Now that things have come to this, there's no point in getting angry.
Fortunately, the military operation manual has strict drinking water testing requirements, so I didn't get caught.
…
Bajun, Xuanhan.
In the backyard of the city government office, Guan Yu, Gan Ning, and Jia Xu were sitting across from each other. No one spoke in the quiet room, and the atmosphere seemed very depressing.
The army was exhausted from the torment, not because it was tired, but because it was angry... At least, it could not move forward until it figured out a solution. Wang Xuan's military system was good everywhere, but the only problem was that against
The logistics dependence is too great!
In fact, all three of them know that the way to solve the problem is very simple. Wang Xuan has already done too many demonstrations. One word - kill!
Kill all the wealthy gentry in these places and everything will be solved naturally.
The problem is, not everyone dares to do this kind of thing.
If we talk about massacring a city and killing all the people in a city, there are many people who dare to do such a thing. After all, the people who died are just ordinary people. Although they will be criticized to a certain extent, it will pass if they tolerate it. This kind of 'little thing' does not matter.
People will always remember it.
But if it involves the massacre of local gentry and a few celebrities, then I'm sorry, if your "cruelty and cruelty" are not recorded in the history books, it will completely ruin the reputation of your entire family, so that people thousands of years from now can
Remember, that would be weird!
If some Spring and Autumn brushwork is used among them, it will really not be able to turn over for thousands of years.
The most typical one is Qin Shihuang's "burning books and entrapping Confucians".
Even if we don't mention it far away, the incident of Cao Cao killing Bianjang a few years ago has been a hot topic for a long time. If Liu Bei hadn't killed Yuan Shao at that time, causing turmoil in the world and making Cao Cao the family's only backer, Cao Cao would have been very passive.
In official history, Chen Gong and Zhang Miao rebelled and led Lu Bu into Yanzhou, which almost completely devastated Cao Cao.
That's why Guan Yu, Gan Ning, and Jia Xu are in such trouble now.
What's more, as Liu Bei's momentum is getting better year by year, Guan Yu's status has also become more and more powerful. With Guan Yu's character of cherishing feathers, there is no way he would do such a thing.
"It's better to ask the Imperial Master for advice on this matter." After Jia Xu finished speaking, seeing that Guan Yu's expression did not change, he got up and went out.
When he walked out the door, Jia Xu rolled his eyes. His lack of expression meant that he did not support or object. In other words, he supported it.
It's really tiring to fight for such an arrogant person, Jia Xu complained in his heart.
…
At this moment, Wang Xuan has already passed Mianzhu and arrived at Xindu City. The next step is CD.
In other words, they were also not welcomed by the locals in Yizhou. On Guan Yu's eastern front, under the leadership of the local aristocratic family, the noisy Guan Yu was struggling, but Wang Xuan did not face any difficulties from beginning to end.
Each city simply surrendered after a little resistance. There was no turmoil after occupying the city. The implementation rate of any policy was so strange that it did not encounter any resistance. Even non-violent non-cooperation did not happen.
The level of cooperation was even higher than that of Hebei, which made Wang Xuan, who had been preparing to take the opportunity to "get angry", unable to do so and feeling a little uncomfortable.
In CD City, seeing that Wang Xuan was about to arrive with his army, and that Cao Jun would definitely not be able to keep up with the progress, a large number of Yizhou local families began to relocate on a large scale.
Whether you go somewhere or go back to your hometown, CDs these days are not meant to be left in a certain place for a long time.
Although Wang Xuan has not gone on a killing spree after entering Shuzhong, who knows what he will do in the future.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
