Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 206 Rock climbing is also a technical activity
Silence, absolute silence.

No one expected that Zhao Fengfeng would entrust such an important task to Lu Xun, who was just in his early 20s.Although it is only in charge of the army, the requirements for ability are still very high.Looking at the sword seal in Zhao Feng's hand, everyone knew that he was not joking.

Lu Xun was only slightly taken aback, but he quickly took the sword seal Zhao Feng handed him, and replied solemnly: "Lu Xun will definitely live up to the general's entrustment!" Although his tone sounded calm, his slightly trembling hands were still betrayed his nervousness.

"Bo Yan, do it well, I trust you!" Looking at Lu Xun whose lips were trembling, Zhao Feng still patted him on the shoulder to make him not be so nervous.Without waiting for Lu Xun to say anything, Zhao Feng turned his head to He Qi and said, "Gongmiao, after I walk the Tongyinping Pass plank road, I must first go down to Jiangyou. Once Jiangyou is captured by me, I can go through the Wenshan mountain road and stab the sword straight Close the door behind. I will use carrier pigeons to notify you, and then you will lead 2 horses, and close the door with my sword!"

"The general understands!" He Qi quickly responded.Zhao Feng arranged some other things, and then he led Wang Ping and Yang Ren to count the army horses and prepare to walk the Yinping Pass plank road.As soon as the big bill came out, Ma Su trotted forward and said, "General, I will also go to Yinping Pass with you to raid Xichuan, how about it?"

"Youchang, you are still young, and the Yinping Pass path is extremely steep. If you make a mistake, how can I explain to Jichang!" Zhao Feng never expected that Ma Su would volunteer to accompany him to take the risk, and immediately rejected his offer proposal.Just kidding, if something goes wrong with Ma Di, Ma Liang will not fight himself desperately.

"The general doesn't know something!" Ma Di suddenly sighed and said, "Since I, Ma Di, have been educated and come out of the mountains, thanks to the kindness of the general, it is not easy to become the prefect of a party at the age of less than [-]. But my brother and Kong Ming thought that I’m exaggerating, I’m not being pompous and prudent. I want to follow the general to walk the Yinping Pass path, even if I’m a pawn in the army, to feel the pain of marching, to have more experiences and to hone my will.”

"Okay!" Zhao Feng didn't expect Ma Di to have such thoughts.Indeed, as he said, if he only acts as a prefect, or a civil servant like a staff officer, and only engages in strategizing activities, then he may only be able to look high and low for the rest of his life.Now follow me to go to the front line to experience it, which will make him more down-to-earth.In the future, there will be one less exaggerated staff officer, but one more handsome talent who can stand on his own.Thinking of this, Zhao Feng didn't insist anymore, he just asked: "You are a Confucian scholar, how can you bear the hardships of marching?"

"I have also practiced martial arts since I was a child, so there is no need to worry, General!" Ma Di patted his chest and said.Zhao Feng nodded, and then led him to choose a team with him.Before this, the [-] Danyang elite soldiers and the [-] selected Hanzhong elite soldiers had also been assembled.Zhao Feng ordered to distribute the prepared equipment to everyone.

"General, why are you wearing straw sandals?" Ma Di looked at the two pairs of straw sandals that were given to him, and suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.Generally, soldiers who march and fight wear military boots, but Zhao Feng gave each of them two pairs of straw sandals.

"It's the end of spring, and it's going to be summer soon. It's too stuffy for the soldiers to wear military boots, and we're walking on a mountain road, and the straw sandals can prevent slipping!" Zhao Feng explained.After all, Ma Di is young, and he immediately asks if he doesn't understand something, like a curious baby.Of course, he never expected that this was the inspiration Zhao Feng got from the Red Army's Long March.

"That's right, General, so why are they carrying those things on their backs?" Ma Di asked, pointing to dozens of soldiers nearby.

"At the end of the Yinping Pass plank road is Motian Ridge, which is very steep. If there is no way to go down, then we can nail iron nails to the mountain and tie them down with ropes!" Zhao Feng introduced in detail.Ma Su nodded again and again, and Wang Ping, who was used to walking the mountain roads, also sighed: "In this way, even though the ancient plank road at Yinping Pass is dangerous, it will be much easier to walk!"

After hearing Wang Ping's words, Zhao Feng just smiled and said nothing.Before that, he had carefully studied the specific situation of Deng Ai's going this way in history, and what lessons and experience he should learn from it, so as to raid the hinterland of Xichuan with the least loss.

In history, Deng Ai took the Yinping Pass plank road, but after the Shu Han lost Hanzhong, Jiang Wei, Zhang Yi, and Liao Hua retreated to defend the Jiange, as a last resort.This situation is inseparable from the fact that he is now occupying Hanzhong and plotting against Xichuan.In addition, after Deng Ai's successful smuggling, Jiangyou ordered Ma Miao to surrender to the enemy, and Zhuge Zhan, the guard of Mianzhu, died in battle.Now the guard of Jiangyou is Liu Zhang's confidant Yang Huai, but the guard of Mianzhu is his old knowledge Fei Guan.Considering that the former is not very smart and the latter is acquainted by himself, if all goes well, it will be enough to connect Jiangyou and Mianzhu.From a strategic point of view, after sneaking across the Yinping Pass, the possibility of success is quite high.

The above is the experience Zhao Feng has learned from Deng Ai's successful smuggling of Yinpingguan, but at the same time he has to make up for some of Deng Ai's shortcomings.In history, Deng Ai led 2000 soldiers to walk the Yinping Pass plank road, but when they got down Motian Ridge, more than [-] people had been lost. Of course, some of them fell down the mountain while walking the mountain road, but Zhao Feng estimated that most of them should be from Motian Ridge. He fell to his death when the blanket rolled down.After all, wrapped in a thin layer of felt, it rolled down the cliff, and as long as any vital part was hit, it would be death.

In view of this, Zhao Feng deliberately finalized the details of this march in terms of personnel and equipment.First of all, the soldiers all wear straw sandals to reduce the tragedy of falling down the mountain due to slipping; secondly, I choose Danyang elite soldiers who are used to walking on mountain roads, and the elite of the Hanzhong army. The soldiers on the mountain are definitely much more expert; moreover, I prepared ropes and nails myself, so there is no need to rely on rolling down the mountain in the end; in addition, when I sent Lu Dai to farm in Tazhong, I had already repaired a section of the plank road.To sum up, with so many preventive measures, it should be possible to reduce some casualties.

"General, how much rations do you need to bring?" Wang Ping asked after everyone had assembled.

"Each person carries enough rations for [-] days!" Zhao Feng thought for a while, he had ordered Lu Dai, who was farming in Tazhong, to collect hundreds of Baicha iron-hoofed horses unique to Yinping County and Wudu County.This kind of horse is as good at carrying heavy loads on mountain roads as the Yunnan horses, and the horseshoes are so hard that they are not afraid of being hurt by sharp rocks. When the time comes, let the horses carry food with the army.Historically, Deng Ai's character was not good, and he encountered heavy rain. As a result, it took him [-] days to walk the plank road. After doing so many targeted preparations, he probably won't be so bad.

"General, the urgent military situation just sent by the three generals!" At this time Lu Xun hurried over and said, Zhao Feng took a look, but Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang told him that they had already raised troops in Nanzhong Second County, and were going to attract Zhang Ren. play.Right now most of the Sichuan army is attracted by me to the Berkshire area, it is best that Zhao Feng can take the opportunity to make a difference.

"Reply to the three generals, we are going to seize Bajun when Zhang Ren returns to the army!" Zhao Feng also replied confidently.Looking at Lu Xun who was a bit cramped in front of him, Zhao Feng smiled slightly and said, "Bo Yan, when I'm not around, you will be in charge of the army. Although Yan Yan is a famous general in Xichuan, I don't think he is your opponent!"

"The general attaches so much importance to him, Lu Xun will definitely live up to the general's entrustment!" Although Lu Xun has always been calm, now he is a little excited to be in charge of an army of tens of thousands of people.After calming down a bit, Lu Xun turned his head and looked around. Seeing that there was no one there, he asked in a low voice: "Xun was entrusted by my wife to ask the general about something."

"What's the matter?" Zhao Feng heard that he was entrusted by Sun Shangxiang, and vaguely guessed what he was going to ask, but he still said calmly.

"I heard that the general has taken Mrs. Qiao into his room. Is there such a thing?" Lu Xun asked in a low voice.Even though he, Lu Boyan, was young and mature, it would be embarrassing to ask about this matter.

"It's true, but Boyan don't worry, I will never treat her badly!" Zhao Feng couldn't say too much about this kind of thing, so he could only promise vaguely.Lu Xun also knew that Zhao Feng was a man, so he nodded and said nothing more. The two explained some precautions for the army, and then Zhao Feng led the army to leave.

Not to mention the appointment of Lu Xun's new official here, nor to say that Zhao Feng quietly marched to Yinping with 1 troops.Besides, Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang, who were stalemate in Berkshire, were also taken aback after receiving Zhao Feng's reply. "General Zhao is too confident, isn't he so confident that he can break through the natural dangers of Jiameng Pass and Jianmen Pass?" After reading Zhao Feng's reply, a Confucian scholar in his 20s asked in surprise.

"Bo Tao has always been prudent in doing things. If he is not absolutely sure, he will never say such words. I just need to capture Berkshire as soon as possible!" Zhang Fei said carelessly.Seeing that this person still looked a bit hesitant, Zhang Fei curled his lips and said, "Duke Wei, I know Bo Tao's ability very well, so you don't have to worry too much."

"What the three generals said is true, but Yang Yi is too worried!" This man is from Xiangyang, his surname is Yang, his name is Yi, and his name is Weigong. When Guan Yu pacified Jingxiang, he came to join him. He recommended Zhang Fei to this Ma Daha, and now he has become the history of Zhang Fei's empress general's mansion.

Everyone was discussing the military situation, but they saw that the big tent was suddenly thrown open, and then Zhao Lei, the food supervisor, walked in with a face of shame and said: "Third generals, the last general is incompetent, and the Sichuan army has robbed more than a dozen carts of grain and grass! "

"What?" Zhang Fei's eyes were wide open, and he grinned suddenly and said, "Very good, Zhang Ren was finally robbed!" The sudden anger and sudden laughter made people look extremely strange.

"Third general, who is this?" Zhao Lei was puzzled for a moment. Could it be that Zhang Fei lost his mind and went crazy?But it stands to reason that if some food and grass were robbed, he wouldn't go crazy with anger!

"Hehe, you don't know something!" At this time, Zhuge Liang's laughter solved the mystery for everyone: "I have been stationed here for more than a month, but Zhang Ren has always avoided fighting. So I took the opportunity to hide and kill. Therefore, the three generals and I made this strategy to lure the enemy. Most of the food that was robbed today was buckwheat, wheat bran, and even barnyard grains. When Zhang Ren saw it, he must have thought that our army’s food and grass were almost exhausted. If you withdraw your troops at this time, Zhang Ren will definitely send troops to chase after him!"

"So that's how it is!" The generals suddenly realized, but they heard Zhuge Liang say again: "Although this is the case, Zhang Ren is a cautious man. If our army withdraws rashly, he will definitely notice something is wrong. Therefore, I need to add more details later. Work hard! Three generals, you can attack the city immediately, you must do your best to attack!"

"Attack with all your strength?" Zhang Fei asked in a daze.

"Only in this way can we show that we are angry from embarrassment and eager for success!" Zhuge Liang said with a smile, Zhang Fei suddenly woke up when he heard this, and hurriedly sent people to prepare for the attack overnight.

At the same time, in the city of Berkshire, Zhang Ren opened the bag of grain and grass that Gao Xiang had just robbed, but saw that there was less than half of the rice noodles, and the rest was some miscellaneous grains.After Zhang Ren read it, he sneered and summoned the generals to discuss the matter.

"Everyone, judging from the rations of the robbed Jingzhou Army, Zhang Fei's rations are already stretched. I estimate that within ten days, he will have to retreat due to lack of food. But Zhang Fei has an impatient temper, and he must Let the army attack the city, we must hold this place!"

"Follow the general's order!" All the generals promised loudly, and at this moment the sentinel came to report that the Jingzhou army had just begun to attack the city, and the attack was very ruthless, and the soldiers defending the city were struggling.

"All the generals follow me to have a look!" Zhang Ren also led the crowd up to the top of the city when he heard the words. As soon as he went up to the top of the city, Zhang Ren was startled by the stones thrown towards him.More than a dozen trebuchets of the Jingzhou Army threw stones on the city without interruption, and almost every stone could kill several people.Zhang Ren can be regarded as a battle-tested man, but he has almost only fought against the Hanzhong Army, and he has only heard of the power of the Jingzhou Army's catapults.At the same time, dozens of ladders were set up, and a steady stream of Jingzhou soldiers held shields and climbed directly from the ladders to attack the city.In addition, the rushing car also began to show its power, hitting the Berkshire city wall without a moat.

"Captain, be careful!" Seeing a huge boulder flying towards Zhang Ren, the generals on the side also shouted in horror.Zhang Ren snorted coldly, pulled out a long spear beside him, and shot directly at the flying boulder.

With a sound of "bang", the boulder weighing more than a hundred kilograms was hit by Zhang Ren's casually, and it burst directly from the middle, and the scattered stone chips scratched the faces of several people around.Zhang Ren himself was unscathed except for being covered in ashes.

"Zhang Dudu's supernatural power!" The Yizhou army guarding the city saw Zhang Ren's bravery, and their morale was boosted for a while.Little did he know that Zhang Ren looked down at his gaping tiger's mouth, and was also secretly startled.Looking at the structure of the city, Zhang Ren also had to be thankful: the front of the Berkshire Pass was very narrow, and could only accommodate a dozen trebuchets, with limited power.

"Pass the order down, be careful and stick to it." After watching for a while, Zhang Ren knew that it was impossible for the Jingzhou army to take Bajun with such a strong attack without costing more than five times the lives of the defenders.Zhang Ren was not in a hurry at the moment, but ordered his people to guard carefully, and at the same time sent out the spy to inquire about the movement of the Jingzhou army camp.

Just as the two armies in Berkshire were conducting offensive and defensive exercises, the 1 troops led by Zhao Feng had already crossed a mountain road on Mount Wen and arrived at Tazhong.Lu Dai, who was originally stationed in Tazhong and was in charge of farming, took the [-] Baicha iron-hoofed horses that had been prepared and carried grain on their backs, and handed them over to Zhao Feng.

"Dinggong, although you don't care about it here, but it is adjacent to Hanzhong and Longxi, you need to beware of Xia Houyuan or Han Sui coming!" Before Zhao Feng left, he still reminded him carefully.

"Don't worry, general, if Xia Houyuan or Han Sui dare to come, I will definitely teach him a big loss!" Lu Dai laughed and said, Zhao Feng saw that the great Sima of Eastern Wu in history was so confident, so he stopped talking and led the army On the Yinping Pass plank road.
