Chapter 14: Huang Feng sent the baggage on time, and he showed his plans everywhere before the war

"Quick, speed up!" Huang Feng rode on his horse and said in a tearing voice: "There are still the last forty miles, and we must arrive before dark!" Otherwise, I will behead you all." ”

Huang Feng took charge of the army for the first time, did not understand the importance of the march at all, at the beginning of the 10th day, Huang Feng while wandering around the mountains and rivers while escorting grain and grass, until 10 days later, a hasty calculation, 10 days of footsteps, the entire grain army only marched less than 300 miles, and there are nearly 800 miles to go. Those who are subject to military regulations will be beheaded for public display in accordance with military regulations. Huang Feng finally came to his senses under Huang Yu's reminder and hurriedly urged the entire grain team to move forward. At this time, the team that originally traveled thirty or forty miles a day needed to travel more than eighty miles a day to catch up with the progress. In the Han Dynasty, although there was an official road, but after all, the official road is different from the current highway, how rugged and uneven, ordinary people do not carry the weight and travel 80 miles a day is not easy, not to mention to transport a large number of baggage? Therefore, this caused all the soldiers and civilians to complain about it.

So before half of the road, a large number of people fled, Huang Feng was immediately anxious, and then had to listen to Huang Yu's opinion and convene his five elders to discuss countermeasures, but in the end, they did not come up with good countermeasures. In fact, Huang Feng's uncles are basically veterans, and Huang Feng is a general on top of the troops parachuted by the children of high-ranking officials. Therefore, most of you have a rejection of Huang Feng. For these elders, if the grain transportation is delayed, the Lord General has not had much to do with them, so when Huang Feng proposed to step up the march, one by one he found various reasons to prevaricate, just like some government agencies in later generations, the service attitude is leveraged but the service effect is poor.

Huang Feng was helpless, and finally had to listen to Huang Yu's strategy, that is, he had to pull a cushion when he was dying, so that once the fainting food was delayed, there would be a prevarication in Shangfeng. So Huang Feng forcibly ordered the centurion Wei Yuan to take charge of the people, and ordered in advance that if there were any more deserters, Wei Yuan would be severely punished.

What Huang Feng didn't expect was that Wei Yuanbu immediately stopped the escape of the people as soon as he received it, Wei Yuan selected one person as the leader of each sentinel among the people, and provided double the subsidy for daily food, and then adjusted the reward and punishment system among the people, the first 100 people who marched with the army every day could receive double the food share, and the people of 100 to 1,000 people could receive the daily standard food share, and the 1,000 people to 1,000 people could only receive 90%, and the 1,000 people could only receive 80%, after all, a person could not eat double the food share every day. The rest of Wei Yuan had already stated that he would allow the people to take them home, so that all the people had the opportunity to rush desperately. But despite this, it is now the afternoon of the last day, and there are still nearly forty miles to be completed.

"Wei Yuan, let your men go faster." Huang Feng shouted.

"General, according to the calculation of the end of this journey, you can reach the five cities at the time of the lantern, please don't worry." Wei Yuan replied.

"You can get there when the lights are on." Huang Feng relaxed a little in his heart after hearing this, and felt that his head hanging in the air returned to his neck.

At this time, Xiahou Ba was sitting upright in the big tent of the Chinese army with wings, looking carefully at the map in front of him, while gently tapping the case with his fingers, and making the sound of Dada from time to time.

"Brother, how's it going?" At this time, Xiahou Kuang, a partial general standing on the side, asked.

"Ziyue (Xiahou Kuangzi), if Guo Tingshi does not capture the moth and covers the sake, I conclude that Jiang Wei's trip must be my here" Xiahou said domineeringly: "Now I have to think about it again." ”

"Brother, why is that?" Xiahou Kuang asked.

"Look here," Xiahou Ba pointed to the map and said: "As long as the wings are located in the throat of the Qiang people, as long as they hold this place, if the Shu army invades the moth to block the siege of the Qiang people, then I can take the opportunity to cut off the back road of the Shu people and cut off their grain routes, then the Shu people will be defeated." Therefore, I concluded that if a moth is in the hands of the Qiang people, Jiang Wei will come to attack me as a wing. However, now that the moth has been captured by Guo Thorn History, the Qiang people will urgently ask the Shu army for help, if the Shu army wants to save the lives of the Qiang people, the only way to rush to the Moth Mountain to meet the Qiang people, and then try to fight with us. It is because I have not yet been able to determine the direction of the Shu army's trip. ”

"Report ......" At this time, there was a herald outside the account to report the news.

"Tell me!" Xiahou is domineering.

"General Yu, five hours ago, Liao Hua, the vanguard of the Shu army, entered Shanxian with 3,000 men and horses, and Shanxian County ordered Han Bo to lead Shanxian officials to open the city and surrender to the enemy." The herald spoke.

"Probe, report!" Xiahou Ba waved his hand and sent the herald out, and there was not a trace of emotional fluctuations on his surface. But as soon as the herald walked out of the big tent, Xiahou Ba slammed his hateful fist on the case, and said: "I'm angry, I never thought that Han Bo was such a villain, Shanxian is only more than 110 miles away from me as a wing, and more than 90 miles away from the moth, which is an important place, but now it has been taught to Shu by this dog." ”

"Brother, don't be angry, there will be a chance to cut off this dog's head one day." Xiahou Kuang persuaded: "I never thought that the Shu army would come so quickly, and in five days, it would take six cities in a row. Since the Shu army first captured Shanxian County, and Shanxian County was quite close to the moth blockage, can it be concluded that the Shu army wanted to take the moth block? ”

"Not yet." Xiahou Ba said abruptly.

At this time, another sentry reported in the roll call and said, "General Yu, the Liangzhou Assassin sent an envoy to bring a message and is waiting outside the tent." ”

Xiahou Ba was overjoyed: "Boji (Guo Huaizi) sent an envoy here at this time, there will be a good plan to teach me, please come in quickly!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a person came in from outside the tent, it was Guo Huai's nephew, Guo Yi is also, Xiahou Ba laughed and said: "Qin Ye is here, is there a good plan to teach me?" ”

Guo Ruan said with a smile: "It was the order of the assassin Shi to come here to relieve my brother's worries." ”

Xiahou Ba smiled happily: "Come quickly." ”

Guo Yi said: "Jiang Wei is here, after the study of the history of assassination, his purpose must be the left wing, so the history of assassination ordered me to come, inform my brother, and take more precautions." ”

Xiahou Kuang smiled: "The purpose of the Shu army should not be to cover the moth? At this time, Guo Tingshi almost killed the Qiang people, and the Shu people should go to the moth at this time. ”

Guo Yi said with a smile: "When I came, Guo Tingshi explained that the more Qiang people were killed and injured, the happier Jiang Wei'er became. ”

Xiahou Kuangqi said: "Why is this? ”

Guo Yi replied: "Now that our army is pressing, the Qiang people in order to avoid the disaster of extinction, the only way to enter Shu, such as the Qiang casualties after the war, there will be disasters in Shu in the future, therefore, Guo Thorn Shiyan, for the Shu people, the more Qiang casualties, the better." ”

Xiahou said domineeringly: "Boji's talent, I might as well do it." Subsequently, after Xiahou Ba and Guo Ruan discussed again, Guo Yi said goodbye and left.

After Guo Yi left, Xiahou Kuang said: "Since my brother has decided to defend his left wing, I ask for orders to lead five hundred cavalry to block the grain route of the Shu army." ”

Xiahou said domineeringly: "Jiang Wei is a person who has won the favor of Zhuge Liang, and he will not be easy to match, and his army will definitely send heavy troops to protect the grain road.

Xiahou Kuang smiled and said: "Brother, don't worry, the Shu army has many infantry, and I can lead five hundred elite horsemen to go." If there is an opportunity, I will take away its grain and grass, and if Jiang Weiguo has a guard, I will definitely lead the troops to return. ”

Xiahou Ba said with a smile: "In this case, it is convenient for me to go to your eight hundred cavalry." It's safe. ”

Xiahou Kuang was shocked: "Brother only led a thousand cavalry this time, if I take away 800 people, how can my brother rely on his strength?" Five hundred people are enough. ”

Xiahou Ba said with a smile: "Ziyue can just lead the troops, if Jiang Weiguo comes with the troops, I have my own way to deal with this person." ”

Xiahou Kuang couldn't help but clench his fists and cry: "Kuang is willing to break his bones to repay his brother's letter to a certain person." ”

Xiahou Ba patted Xiahou Kuang's arm and said, "Ziyue goes, remember that destroying his grain and grass is a small matter, my brother's safety is big, you need to take care." ”

So, early in the morning of the second day, Xiahou Kuang ordered 800 cavalry and went straight to Shan County from the small road.

At this time, Jiang Wei was discussing with Liao Hua, Wang Ping and the Shu generals in the military tent in Shanxian County.

Jiang Weidao: "Now that Shanxian has been taken by our Shu army, we need to divide our troops into three ways." Liaohua! ”

"The last general!" Liao Hua came out with his fists clenched.

"Yuan Jian led 3,000 soldiers as the vanguard, and went straight to the wings. Along the way, remember that people must not dismount, horses must not stop, must be within two days of the wings of the wings, if you can attack the wings of the best, if not, be sure to make the wings of the signal soldiers can not spread the news. ”

"No!" Liao Hua took the arrow and bowed down.

"Where is Li Hui?" Jiang Wei shouted.

"The last general!" Li Hui promised.

"De'ang took 3,000 men and horses as suspicious soldiers to Mozi Mountain to join the Qiang people's headquarters, and along the way, he wanted to make a big noise, and he must make the Wei army think that the purpose of the army of Wu Shu was Mozi Mountain."

"No!" Li Hui took the arrow and bowed to the side.

Jiang Wei immediately shouted: "The rest of the people will lead the Chinese army with me and go straight to Weiying." ”

"No!" All the generals should come down in unison.

Then Jiang Wei said: "You wait to prepare, and tomorrow morning, immediately pull out the camp." ”

The generals departed one after another.

After everyone left, Jiang Wei found that Li Hui and Liao Hua had stayed behind and did not prepare, so he couldn't help asking, "What else is going on with Yuan Jian and De'ang?" ”

Li Hui and Liao Hua glanced at each other, and Li Hui arched his hand and said: "Before the general set out on this expedition, he had decided to use the first area as the throat of the wings, and then the army would send moths to cover the siege of the Qiang people. Now that the moth has been taken by Guo Huai, and the Qiang have come to urge several times, do we need to modify the original route and relieve the siege of the Qiang people first? The two of us are really worried that when we take off our wings, it will be the day when the Qiang people will be exterminated. ”

Jiang Wei said with a smile: "The Qiang people are untrustworthy people's ears, and since the Han Dynasty, they have a number of rebellions and eventually have different intentions. It is true that I sent troops to relieve the siege of the Qiang people, but before that, I want to exhaust the elite soldiers of Guo Huai's army with hundreds of thousands of Qiang people, and then I will accept the rest of the Qiang people into Shu. ”

When Liao Hua and Li Hui saw it, they arched their hands and said, "In this case, then the two of us will prepare first." Then they walked out of the tent together.

At dusk, Huang Feng and his entourage hurried to the five cities, and staggered to escort the grain and grass in place before the city gate was closed. Seeing the completion of the grain task, Huang Feng reported to Wang Ping, the commander of the rear army, as usual, and handed it over.

"Fortunately, you finally arrived on time, if it is any later, I will let you know what it is like to be a baton, regardless of who joins my father." Wang Ping looked at the slip in his hand and said without raising his head.

"Don't dare, the lower and last generals know that the responsibility is heavy, and they don't dare to slack off along the way, and finally they haven't disappointed the general's expectations." Huang Feng said with a smile.

"That's the best." Wang Ping said: "Since you have come to Wucheng, then tomorrow you will bring your people and horses and send the grain and grass to Shanxian County." ”

Huang Feng was stunned for a moment, and said: "General, our soldiers are very tired all the way, can we repair for a few days, and then go with food if we don't repair for a day?" ”

"Nonsense!" Wang Ping slapped the case heavily and said angrily: "The front-line sergeant is fighting bloodily ↑ There is no repair, how many days do you need to repair the grain guard?" Tomorrow is the time to go! ”

"No!" Seeing Wang Ping angry, Huang Feng couldn't help but be clever and immediately responded.

"After you arrived in Shanxian County, you sent a fast horse to send this brocade box to General Liao Hua Liao of the pioneer battalion." Wang Ping pointed to a brocade box above the desk.

Huang Feng answered, then picked up the brocade box and walked out of the tent.

At this time, Wei Yuan didn't know that he was about to rush to the front line with Huang Feng.
