Da Wei Chun

Chapter 459 Darkness Chen Cang
The sun is westward, and the warmth is fading.The sky is still bright, but it always feels like the sun is covered with a layer of gray.

The army has already set up camp, and each army is working in units of teams.Countless wisps of cooking smoke rose up, covering the earth like a veil.

There are at least [-] cavalry in the [-] Chinese Army, and the other [-] also have vehicles to drive, and they are walking on wide official roads and galloping roads. Even at a normal speed, it should be about a hundred miles away.

But acting in a full set, at least not too deliberately.Therefore, the march in the first three days will be at the normal pace of infantry marching with "two houses a day (one house for thirty miles), one house for one food, and ten miles for a rest".

So just after Shenshi (three o'clock in the afternoon), Li Chengzhi ordered the army to set up camp after traveling for sixty miles.

The camp is located on the south bank of the Yellow River, belonging to Heyin County, Henan County. Standing on a hill on the bank, you can even see the Heyin County Government Office.

If Li Chengzhi remembers correctly, Er Zhurong in history threw Hu Chonghua, and all the important officials and clans of the Northern Wei Dynasty into the Yellow River here.

Across the river is Hanoi County, and the Heyang Racecourse with millions of horses is located on the north bank of the Yellow River.

It is really a million, which can supply [-] war horses a year...

There was a melodious horn sound in the camp, and Li Rui looked around attentively, reminding Li Chengzhi in a low voice: "Mr. Lang, it's time to eat..."

"Ok!"

Li Chengzhi responded unconsciously, looked at the already frozen Yellow River, and sighed secretly.

It was not the time for Yuan Huai's rebellion. If it was the season of mid-spring, after Lingxun, Li Chengzhi was more than [-]% sure that the rebellion would be completely put down within three months.

In the very famous battle of Jieting during the Three Kingdoms period, Wei general Zhang Jai used the Yellow River and Weishui to transport grain and march along the bank. In just over ten days, he rushed from Luoyang to Jieting and defeated Ma Su, who was not firmly established. One was caught off guard.

Jieting is located in Longxi County where Cui Zuzhi started the incident. It is located in the key point of Guanlong and has always been a battleground for military strategists.As long as the Jieting is guarded, Yuan Li, Yuan Huai, and Yu Zhong who stationed troops in Hanzhong have only two ways to flee south or west.

To the south is naturally Nanliang, and to the west is Tugu Huan.

As for the rest of Cui Zuzhi and Yu Jing... It wasn't because Li Chengzhi was talking big, and he didn't need to send troops from the court. Only Xi Kangsheng and Gao Meng could take care of these two...

Heaving a sigh of relief, Li Chengzhi lightly gripped the horse's belly and ran towards the camp.

The soldiers and horses did not move, but the food and grass went first.But the army was too sudden, and it was too late to recruit civilian husbands.Therefore, the imperial court decided to transfer [-] of the new army trained by Gao Zhao to Li Chengzhi as the rear army for transporting food, and by the way, he could also help Gao Zhao train his troops.

As for the conquest of Shu... Hanzhong has been occupied by Yuan Huai, so how can we conquest?
Since ancient times, entering Shu from the Central Plains must pass through Hanzhong.As long as there is a second way, Zhuge Liang will not have to go out of Qishan a few times...

Today is the first day of dispatching troops, so the food is very good, and the smell of meat can be smelled from a distance.And this also depends on the merits of Li Chengzhi: the goods he copied from Baode Temple alone are enough for the [-] army for two years.

Otherwise, it would be nice to be able to eat enough. How could ordinary soldiers have a big bowl of meat?
Seeing Li Rui's banner, Li Liang ordered his soldiers to put a urn of broth in the furnace, and tore off two pieces of bread to soak in it.

Li Chengzhi entered the account, and the broth had just warmed up.Just as he was eating, Yuan Qiao came to Bing, saying that Li Shao and Yang Jun had come to look for him.

The two entered the tent and looked at the food in front of Li Chengzhi: apart from the urn of soup cakes, there was only a plate of rice womb (flooded cabbage) left on the food table, and there was no third item?
Looking carefully, the soup was clearly served from the soldiers' pots, at most there was a little more meat.

The majestic first-rank general conquering the north, who is a duke, eats this?

Not to mention the two of them, I am afraid that the brigade commander in the rear army will eat better than Li Chengzhi.

But Li Shao and Yang Jun were not surprised, they presumed that they had already used it, took the wine cup from Li Liang, and started to sip.

Li Chengzhi has a good way of making money, which is known all over the world.No one knows how much money he has earned since he entered Beijing, but at least they know that even Yuan Yong and Yuan Chen, who are the world's richest, depend on him.

But compared with the luxury of these two, Li Chengzhi is a beggar.

If it weren't for His Majesty's gift, Li Chengzhi would still live in the old house in the cemetery outside the city, and it was still rented.

It's still a gift from His Majesty, otherwise Li Chengzhi's house would not even have a servant, and only a few maids borrowed from the coolie's family who made ice and boiled salt would help clean the house.

Li Chengzhi's cooking skills (cooking skills) are unparalleled in the world, and the restaurants and restaurants he opened together with Yuan Chen can be said to be full of cars and horses, making money every day.But his daily expenses are extremely ordinary.Including wearing and traveling, at most it is a gift that can sustain the family.

If you want to say that Li Chengzhi cherishes money...that will never be.But every big festival and small festival, who has confiscated his gift from the family and officials who have made good friends with him?

So even Li Shao and Yang Jun don't know what Li Chengzhi does with so much money...

Li Chengzhi ate very quickly, and in just a moment, a large pot of meat and cakes was dried up.After taking the warm towel handed by Li Liang and wiping his hands and face, he asked casually, "Is there something important for Master Shi?"

He sent someone to invite Yang Jun here, just for tomorrow's first thing, but Li Shao came here uninvited.

"It's nothing important, I just have some doubts: You said in the morning that the departure would take three days, why did you suddenly change it to tomorrow?"

Li Shao's intuition should have something to do with Li Chengzhi's trip to the Emperor's Mausoleum in the morning, but he couldn't speak out when it came to the Empress Dowager.

"It's not sudden!" Li Chengzhi took a sip from the tea urn, and said calmly: "I just saw the big river (Yellow River) frozen, and I suddenly felt something. I wanted to take a step ahead and explore Wei and Luo along the way." For the river channels of Liangshui, let’s see if water transportation can be opened after the spring flood next year..."

By the way to explore the water transport?

It can be regarded as foresight.

The Weishui River goes directly to Liangzhou, and the Luoshui River can reach Xi'an Prefecture (now Dingbian, Shaanxi Province, the junction of Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, and Mongolia provinces), only more than [-] miles away from Bogulu Town.If you rely on water transportation, whether it is transporting troops or grain, it is many times more convenient than land transportation.

Besides, Li Chengzhi was just on the way, by the way...

Li Shao's heart moved, and he said tentatively: "Tongcha two rivers? Could it be that you explored all the way, and Yang Shao explored the other way?"

"If you don't let Brother Jisun go with me, can Shi Boan rest assured?"

Li Chengzhi smiled meaningfully, "I only inspect the Luoshui River, the Weishui River has been entrusted to Li Sima, and it can be surveyed during the march..."

Li Daoyuan?
You can use people.

Li Daoyuan had already annotated the "Shui Jing" when he was the governor of Luyang, and it was well known throughout the court.Therefore, when Li Shao heard about Li Daoyuan, he believed it [-]% of the time.

They also discussed some things about marching and transporting food after Li Chengzhi left, and the two left after sunset and the moon was in the sky.

After the two left, Li Chengzhi dismissed the guards and asked in a low voice, "Have you seen Liu Bao today?"

"I've seen it... Said that the chariots, horses and caravans have been prepared in Xin'an, and only wait for the lord!"

Li Liang looked worried, "Your Majesty, it's more than [-] miles to go to the Six Towns. Is it wrong for you to hang out of the army for a long time?"

"You do not understand!"

Li Chengzhi let out a sharp breath, "If I don't go to Liuzhen to take a look, I can't feel at ease..."
