Feng Tujiao straightened his chest, ignoring the helpless look on everyone's faces, and even felt the mood to say this.

The word martial arts is generally used in cultural and martial arts.

Now that Feng Yong said this word, Jiang Wei's first reaction was: Which biography is this sentence in? Could it be that there is a new book in Nanxiang?

"Two years ago, the last general was transferred from Nanxiang to Jincheng, and he traveled 80 miles a day, and two-thirds of those who arrived in half a month. This goes to Longguan, but more than 260 miles, I lead the army to travel 50 miles a day, there is still an extra 30 miles of rest time, only five days to arrive, and there must be few people left behind in the Nanxiang soldiers. ”

This sentence is already very conservative, since that time to test the long-distance running ability of the Nanxiang soldiers, Feng Yong criticized the soldiers, although he was suspected of pretending to be forced in front of Old Man Zhao, but in fact, he was indeed a little dissatisfied in his heart.

Therefore, in the past two years, Nanxiang has strengthened training in this area.

Last time, I traveled 1,000 miles, and I traveled 80 miles a day, and I could reach two-thirds of it.

The total distance this time was only 260 miles, and with these two years of intensive training, even if it was a rapid journey of 80 miles a day, there would be no problem at all.

The point is that this is enemy territory and needs to be vigilant, so the speed should be slower.

As soon as Jiang Wei heard Feng Yong's words, his eyebrows were raised.

Traveling 80 miles a day for half a month, two-thirds of those who can reach it? In the hands of this Feng Langjun, there is such an elite pawn? Why did the prime minister let him carry grain later?

"The Nanxiang soldiers you brought here this time are only 1,500 people, right? I'm afraid that the number of people can't compare to the defenders on Longguan. ”

Zhuge Liang showed a look of regret on his face, this Nanxiang soldier, the essence is fine, but it costs too much, except for Nanxiang, no one in the whole Han can afford it.

Feng Yong smiled and said, "Could the prime minister have forgotten Wang Ping and Zhao Guang?" ”

Most of Wang Ping's Wudang Flying Army were born as barbarians, and they walked like flying on mountain roads.

Zhao Guang's 3,000 people can be regarded as a weakened version of Nanxiang's soldiers.

Even if they were slower than the Nanxiang soldiers' attacks, they were still faster than ordinary soldiers.

According to today's ordinary soldiers, it is generally thirty miles a day, and forty miles a faster one.

The soldiers under Wang Ping and Zhao Guang traveled fifty miles a day, no matter how underestimated they were, it was impossible for them to arrive on time less than half, and there were already 3,000 people.

At this rate, it can be done in five days.

Of the remaining 8,000 people in Yue, more than half of them were barbarians from the same background as the Wudang Fei Army, and they traveled ten miles more every day, not to mention "fighting for profit for fifty miles" and "half of their laws", even if they were only half of the half, reaching a quarter, there were 2,000 people.

Counting up, within five days, there will be at least 6,500 people who will arrive at Longguan, which is enough.

Moreover, they have Nanxiang soldiers guarding in front, so they only need to bury their heads and hurry, without being distracted.

As for the baggage, although I don't have a fine ride, I have Dongfeng Express!

Yunnan horses are known for their ability to carry heavy loads and carry them for a long time, they are good at climbing mountains and mountains, traveling 70 miles a day, and can continue to serve for half a month, and they are not afraid of being tired of horses, but they are afraid that people will not be able to keep up.

This section of the road is not too far, and it is an avenue, which is much easier to walk than those plank roads in the south.

There are more than 5,000 Dian horses, plus Dongfeng Express has rich experience in transportation, so there is no need to worry about the baggage falling.

At this time, Longshan was not as badly damaged as in later generations, and the trees were flourishing, as long as there were tools, you could also cut down trees nearby to make siege equipment.

The only thing to worry about is that we must guard the street kiosk, and we can't let people cut off the back road.

Otherwise, as soon as the reinforcements from Guanzhong came, the Han army in Guanlong Avenue would be rats blocked in the bamboo tube, and they would not be able to advance or retreat.

Feng Yong elaborated on this plan, and Zhuge Liang showed surprise in his eyes, "In this way, this matter is promising!" ”

Then he looked at Feng Yong in disbelief, "It turns out that you have thought of today a long time ago, so you have made so many preparations?" ”

No, no, no, I've been thinking about it for two lifetimes!

Feng Tu Turtle heard the praise of the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, grinned proudly, instinctively leaned up to get closer, and then suddenly found that everyone was looking at him, and his old face was red at the moment, "Cough, Prime Minister, without further ado, let the last general give it a try." ”

Zhuge Liang looked at the sand table and finally made up his mind, "Go, let someone call General Wang Ping to me." ”

When Wang Ping heard that the prime minister was looking for him, he came over with some trepidation.

After he saluted, he saw that the prime minister above had a serious face, stared at him and said, "Wang Ping listens to the order, General Feng will lead his troops and horses to attack Longguan this time, and I will order you to be the deputy general." ”

When Wang Ping heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he hugged his fists heavily, "No! ”

At the same time, I thought to myself, since Shanglong, in addition to transporting food to the army, it is to practice sergeants in the camp, and this time it is finally my turn to make meritorious contributions?

I only heard the prime minister continue, "You are steady and calm, and you are old in the military formation, although General Feng led the troops to quell the chaos, but after all, he is too young, if there is anything wrong with him, you must be persuaded and reminded." ”

"This attack on Longguan, if you can take the pass, it is the best, if you can't take it, as long as you find out that the relevant Cao thieves come to help, you have to return immediately, and you can't stay for a moment, understand?"

The last sentence was said to Feng Yong and Wang Ping at the same time.

"No!"

The two of them responded in unison.

"Okay, soldiers, you go back to the camp at once, gather your men and horses, and get ready to set off on your own. General Wang, stay behind, I have a few words to tell him. ”

Feng Yong didn't doubt him, and immediately hugged his fists, turned around and ran out.

When Feng Yong disappeared outside, Zhuge Liang cautiously admonished Wang Ping, "What I just said, you must remember every word, you can't conquer the pass, as long as people come back alive, it's okay." ”

"If the thief comes to the aid later, he still doesn't think about retreating, and he loses the military order, I will behead you first!"

When Wang Ping heard this, his heart sank, and he hurriedly replied, "Don't worry, the prime minister will not forget the prime minister's order!" ”

Zhuge Liang nodded, "Go ahead, you must take care of General Feng." ”

Seeing Wang Ping walk out of the tent, Ma Jian asked softly, "Prime Minister, is this worried about General Feng?" ”

Zhuge Liang faced these people, but he didn't hide his thoughts, nodded and said, "If it is possible, I would rather let him stay behind to transport grain." Unfortunately, I don't have anyone at hand right now. ”

"What's more, only he can use the soldiers in his hands to the greatest extent. If you change it to someone else, that is, you can only use it as an ordinary pawn. ”

With that, he let out a long sigh.

Let's not talk about the soldiers who crossed over, just talk about Wang Ping and Zhao Guang, who in the Northern Expeditionary Army can know them better than Feng Yong?

Not to mention driving them to use their lives.

There is a level of difference between the elite pawns who can take the initiative to fight with their lives and the elite pawns who are forced to fight with their lives.

The words of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty were clearly exposed to Feng Yong's bias, and it immediately aroused Ma Yan's competitive heart: "General Feng has brotherly affection for General Zhao Xiao and benevolence towards General Wang. ”

"Not to mention those generals and colonels in Nayue, they are all simplified by his own hands, so naturally they are concentric and the soldiers use their lives. Although the students are not talented, they are also willing to share their worries for the prime minister. ”

"Oh? What do you mean by this? ”

Zhuge Liang asked with both some surprise and some surprise.

Emotionally speaking, Ma Jian and Zhuge Liang are also teachers and friends, father and son, if they are really compared to Feng Yong like this, Zhuge Liang also has some bad feelings in his heart.

Now that I heard Ma Yan's words, I guessed a little bit of his thoughts at the moment.

"If General Feng can't capture Longguan, he must retreat to the street pavilion, which is not only where General Feng's back road is, but also the last place to block the reinforcements in Cao Thief Pass, so the students asked the prime minister for his life, and he is willing to lead the troops to guard the street pavilion in case of danger."

I saw Ma Jian volunteering and generously asking for his life.

Zhuge Liang was relieved, but he was a little worried, "That Feng Mingwen, although he is still young, he is also a figure who leads the troops to quell the chaos. I have been a young man for many years, but I am only a shepherd in Hanzhong, I am afraid you have little experience. ”

When Ma Tan heard this, he was even more unconvinced, "The prime minister's words are wrong!" Before Feng Mingwen led the troops to quell the chaos, didn't he have no experience in marching and fighting? The so-called everything has a beginning, so let this street pavilion be the first time for students. ”

Zhuge Liang was still groaning, "Although the street pavilion is small, it is very important. If there is a loss, not only Feng Mingwen's army will not be able to retreat, but even the Northern Expedition army will also be in danger. Although you are well versed in strategy, it is extremely difficult to defend this city, which is small and ruined, and there is no danger. ”

Ma Tan smiled and said, "Not to mention that there are no thieves here now, even if there is, why have you been afraid?" And a certain person has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and he knows the art of war, can't he even guard the street pavilion? ”

remembered that before the death of the first emperor, he once said that he was exaggerated and useless. Later, it was spread out, and I don't know how many people have secretly laughed at themselves.

This Northern Expedition is a good opportunity to clear his stigma, how can he easily let it go?

If he has the opportunity to lead the army to attack Longguan, he will have to compete with that Feng Mingwen.

Zhuge Liang looked around, Jiang Wei was a newcomer, and he couldn't be used lightly, not to mention Yang Yi Xianglang, he was a scribe, and he really had no one else at hand.

Only Ma Tan, who is familiar with military books and has the ambition to lead the army, is the only suitable candidate.

Besides, he is also reasonable, and now the threat of the street pavilion is the Cao thief in the south and Linwei.

Although it is a place for Cao thieves to store grain, the city is strong, and there is a narrow road leading to Chencang behind, which can be supported by a small number of elite soldiers in Guanzhong.

But he didn't ask Wu Yi to attack it immediately, as long as he could surround it, Cao Thief naturally had no time to go north.

So let Ma Tan go to the street guarding pavilion, it should be fine.

Immediately, he nodded, "Okay, just wait for the 10,000 soldiers around Jicheng to return from the counties, and I will allocate another 5,000 soldiers to you, totaling 15,000 people, and let you go to the street guarding pavilion." ”

"Why do you need fifteen thousand, you think ten thousand is too much!"

Ma Tan smiled.

A terrible whistle suddenly sounded in the camp, and then the heralds rushed from the camp in all directions, shouting at the same time, "Alert! ”

The camp, which was originally quite leisurely, suddenly became nervous.

All the people in the camp, no matter what they were doing at the time, hurried back to their own team, carrying bows, crossbows, arrows, swords, contradictions, etc., and the baggage auxiliaries were catching donkeys and horses, dressing up and driving, and so on.

Everyone will go out as soon as the trumpet sounds, or if they are notified otherwise.

In the tent, all the generals gathered.

Feng Yong looked around, and then he spoke, "Longguan is the throat of Longshan, and it is related to the success or failure of the Northern Expedition army. Ladies and gentlemen, if you can make such a great achievement, it will be no problem to pay homage to the marquis. ”

"If it doesn't work, then this Northern Expedition will have no chance for us to perform, so we can only go back to the back to transport grain. I think you all know in your hearts that if there is any negligence, it will be dealt with according to military law. ”

"No!"

Everyone answered in unison.

Mo said that Zhao Guang, who was eager to try, was the most stable Wang Ping, and his face was red.

This kind of thing is usually done by the generals in the army, when will it be their turn to transport grain from the rear?

I don't know how Feng Langjun said that he could move the prime minister?

But these are no longer important, the important thing is not to miss the opportunity.

I only heard Feng Yongfa order, "Zhao Guang, you are most familiar with Longyou, I will give you a thousand people, all of whom are Nanxiang soldiers, as the front army, set off first and explore the way forward." Remember, the Chinese army must not be more than thirty miles away from the rear, in case there is a change. ”

"Yang Qian, you lead three thousand soldiers from Fu County to my Chinese army. Wang Ping, you lead the five lieutenants and soldiers as the right army, Zhang Wei, you lead the three thousand elite soldiers of Yue as the left army, all of them follow the Chinese army. Jufu, you lead the rear army and baggage, and collect the stragglers in front. ”

"Those who lag behind can follow, but the baggage can't lag behind, you can make Wang Han follow the Chinese army with the baggage."

After the order was issued, everyone hurried out of the tent, gathered their soldiers, and set out in turn.

In the land of Guanzhong in February, although the weather is slightly chilly, it has basically become warm.

The wheat seedlings in the field have begun to turn green, and from a distance, the growth is gratifying.

Farmers in the fields are removing weeds from their fields while preparing to divert water for irrigation.

Right here, I could only hear a faint rumbling sound in the distance.

"This is Spring Thunder? Is it going to rain? ”

Some people looked up at the sky, and saw that the sun was still hanging in the sky.

Listening to the rumbling sound getting louder and louder, the experienced farmer finally remembered something, and his face began to turn pale: this voice is too familiar, the soldiers in Guanzhong were in turmoil and disasters back then, and this kind of sound was everywhere!

Sure enough, black spots gradually appeared in the distance, and at the same time, there were billowing smoke and dust.

Someone stood up straight curiously, trying to see what it was.

"Looking for death? Don't run yet! ”

The person who came to his senses jerked the stupid bold, and then turned around in a panic and ran.

The ground trembled with the oncoming torrent of iron horses, and no one paid attention to the peasants who had fled to hide in the distance, and every soldier stared ahead and followed closely.

There was no room for so many people on the official road, and many horses rushed directly down the fields, trampled them at will, and trampled the wheat seedlings to pieces.

The peasant lay on the ground, trembling, and did not dare to look up, let alone dissuade him.

I saw that a horse was foaming at the mouth, and its speed had gradually slowed down, and the knight on horseback realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly pulled the reins and rushed out of the group.

Sure enough, the horse's feet were weak and they knelt directly on the ground.

The knight had already turned over and dismounted when the horse fell to the ground, squatted down in great distress, and looked up at the team on the road again, with a look of regret in his eyes.

"General, we have traveled nearly 100 miles today, let's rest for a while, and if we continue like this, even if the soldiers can stand it, the horses can't stand it."

Someone saw that horses rushed out of the official road one after another and fell to the ground, so they hurriedly found Zhang and persuaded him.

Luoyang 50,000 foot horse, this way rushed, after Chang'an, only more than 20,000 horse troops remained.

Zhang was already sweating profusely, although he had been fighting all his life, but after all, he was a little old, these days were day and night, he did feel tired, looked up at the sun, and asked, "How far is it from the camping place?" ”

"Thirty miles to go."

"Then don't rest, just slow down the march!"

"No!"
