Cai Guishan said that the dead soldier camp has a way, in fact, it is to hang the rope hook on the opposite side, and then climb along the rope.

It's an understatement, but it's true that not ordinary people can do it, even if it's a dead soldier camp, not all of them can rely on this method to climb over.

In addition to the requirement of arm strength, the person who climbs the rope must not be afraid to hang in mid-air.

The biggest difficulty is that people can pass, but horses and supplies can't pass, unless a bridge is built, but the distance of nearly ten zhang is here, not to mention that the trees have been cut down and burned by the Wei army, even if there are trees, they are not so long.

Li Xiaofei led everyone to the destroyed Tiansheng Stone Bridge to take a look, only to see an endless crack like an axe splitting a crack on the top of the mountain, and the crack was bottomless downward.

"In the past, the purpose was to reinforce Sanjiangkou, if the horses and supplies could not pass, there would be a few hundred people in the past, and it would be useless!" Li Xiaofei stopped the camp of dead soldiers who were about to act

Lin Changsheng paused, "If we had come up earlier, maybe this natural stone bridge would have been saved!" It's a pity, it's hard to build a bridge again! ”

"A few adults, can't you build a hard bridge, can't you build a soft bridge?" Song Dahu poked his head out and spoke

Li Xiaofei and several generals all looked at him: "Could it be that you have a way to build a bridge?" Build a soft bridge? You name it, come and hear it! ”

Song Dahu took down a straw rope from his body, "Lord Li, when I go back, I will call the whole village to cut the palm leaf cow tendon grass and scrape the bark, and everyone will rush to make a thick rope overnight, as long as there are hundreds of ropes pulled over, and then laid on the wooden planks and tied up, not only people can pass, but horses and materials can pass!" ”

"Can a straw rope withstand a horse of several hundred pounds?" Chen Jingyi felt that this idea was not very reliable

"It's not enough to just pull the straw ropes one by one, but we connect the large and small straw ropes into a net, and lay iron stakes on both sides, even if something weighs a thousand pounds, it can pass!" Song Dahu continued to add

As soon as Li Xiaofei heard that this idea was indeed feasible, he patted Song Dahu on the shoulder, "Dahu, you have made meritorious contributions, and today I will promote you to be the commander of the open road camp!" In the future, you will be responsible for the opening of this bridge! ”

Song Dahu smiled with his eyebrows, "Lord Xie Li, Lord Xie Li, then I will lead people to build bridges!" ”

"Go ahead, just report to me if you want manpower and knives, and I'll wait here for your good news!"

Song Dahu first went over with the thirty people of the dead battalion, fixed three ropes on the opposite side, and left twenty people to guard them, and then the rest of the people climbed back and went to weave ropes and nets with the villagers and saw wood.

It took only two days and one night for a soft bridge to be erected between the two mountains.

Chen Jingyi was the last to pass, and it was only then that he told everyone that he was afraid of standing on a high place, especially knowing that there was an abyss below.

In order to get Chen Jingyi over, Li Xiaofei asked Chen Jingyi to cover his eyes with a black cloth, and then led Chen Jingyi over step by step with a rope.

At the same time, Zhou Dapeng and the other four battalions had arrived outside Qiantang City.

There was chaos in Qiantang City, and the first reaction of the Taishou Qian Shiming was to abandon the city and flee, and then he was put under house arrest by the guard Yuan Hong.

Yuan Hong led the 4,000 defenders in the city to drive the people to the city to defend, waiting for Zhou Dapeng to attack the city.

Zhou Dapeng took the sword and shield battalion, the commander of the mountain battalion, the halberd battalion, and the excavators to build a high platform outside the city, but every day from the high platform to the city arrows, in the middle of the night four o'clock drumming and shouting, so that the soldiers and people of Qiantang City were exhausted.

Yuan Hong's subordinates tried to go out of the city and rob the camp several times, but they were stopped by Yuan Hong, who knew that the purpose of the opponent was to lure them out of the city.

In his opinion, the enemy's conspiracy was not only to lure the defenders of Qiantang out of the city to gather and annihilate them, but also to pretend to besiege Qiantang, but in fact, to ambush the reinforcements from Jinling or Sanjiangkou halfway.

Zhou Dapeng surrounded and did not fight, in fact, he was fishing for a big fish, but this fish was not from Jinling, but An Siqing at the mouth of the Sanjiang River.

The grain and grass in An Siqing's military camp are all supplied from Qiantang, and now that the grain road is cut off, An Siqing has only one month's grain and grass available.

Zhou Dapeng sent someone to pretend to be the Qiantang rout army to report to Sanjiangkou, and An Siqing, who had just returned to Sanjiangkou, learned the news that Qiantang was besieged, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground.

Ouyang Ning immediately picked up the sword and handed it to An Siqing, "Qiantang City is strong, there is plenty of grain and grass, the general doesn't have to worry!" I expected that the enemy must have deliberately sent people back to report the news, so that our troops could come back to help, and then they ambushed them halfway! ”

"If we don't come back, where will our food and grass come from? This is knowing that it is a trap to drill! Yang Yuan shook his head

"It seems that the opponent this time is not simple, first the Sanjiangkou Navy attracted us, and then the people and horses came head-on, but I didn't think that there would be people and horses running to Qiantang!" An Siwen actually wanted to withdraw his troops for a long time, and after spending several months back and forth here, Sanjiangkou could not be taken, and the enemy army was defeated head-on, and now the grain route has been cut off again.

An Siqing looked at everyone, "Is there no other way?" Do you have to go back to the trap of the Southern Navy? If we walk forward, the enemy in Sanjiangkou City will come out immediately, and the enemy army in the south may follow at any time! When the time comes, we will be besieged on three sides! ”

"It's not that there is no way, just go back like this, I'm afraid General An will be punished!" Ouyang Ning stroked his beard, as if he had something to say

"As long as we can save our thousands of men, what is the point of being punished? Mr. Ouyang, don't sell it! ”

"Yes, since Mr. Ouyang has a clever plan, he should come up with it to save your brothers!"

"Well, we don't go back to Qiantang from the same road, but go northeast along the seaside, bypass Qiantang, and go directly back to Jinling! As for the grain and grass, then requisitioned along the road! "This is Ouyang Ning's idea, detour

In normal times, An Siqing will not adopt it, but this time it is different, this time the opponent of the Southern Navy is different from the previous Daliang officers and soldiers, and it is more cunning than the Mobei people, if it is really a one-on-one formation, the Wei army is not the opponent of the Southern Navy at all. What's more, the wealth of the Southern Navy has already caused a small number of people to desert and run away, and if there are a few more encounters, the Southern Navy can collapse the Wei army as long as they set up a pot.

After thinking for a while, An Siqing ordered, "The whole army will attack the Sanjiangkou again!" Come with me! ”

All the generals knew that this was An Siqing's usual trick, so they all gathered their teams and followed the charge.

Zhu Asan and Meng Crow saw that the black-pressed Wei army was all rushing towards the city wall, and immediately led people to the city to resist.

The Wei army did not really rush under the city walls, but pushed out all the siege equipment and smashed all the prepared boulders into the city.

Zhu Asan and Meng Crow only said that the Wei army was going to make the last fight to force the Sanjiang Estuary, so they all lay in the hidden soldier cave on the city wall and waited for the Wei army to attack the city.

An hour later, the Wei army withdrew, Zhu Asan felt that he could go out of the city to pursue, Meng Crow thought that this was the Wei army's plan to lure the enemy, for the sake of insurance, the two still did not go out of the city to pursue.

The situation in Jiangnan suddenly became very unfavorable to the Wei army, and there was an old friend Cui Ju who was also uneasy at the moment.

At the beginning, to appease the old army of the Chen family and annex Shudi, Cui Ju and Shen De spent a lot of thought.

Unexpectedly, Shudi became a pot of porridge, and for Cui Ju, this thing was better than expected.

Not only was the old army of the Chen family leaderless, but Chen Kuan, a fierce enemy in Shudi, was also defeated and died, and the upper reaches of the Yangtze River had no threat to Cui Ju for a while.

The only trouble is Chen Hongyi, who returned to his hometown, and Li Xiaofei, the county guard of Nanhai, who have soldiers and food in their hands.

After learning that the Southern Navy was dispatched, Cui Ju's men and horses left in Wuling Pass were very frightened, and Cui Ju once wanted to send reinforcements over.

But Li Xiaofei took the Southern Navy to the south of the Yangtze River, and Cui Ju was overjoyed when he learned the news, so he thought of going north to the Central Plains.

"Shuzhong is worry-free, the future can be determined, the South China Sea and the Wei State thieves have fought, when will we not take the Central Plains at this time?" Cui Ju told Shen De his thoughts and wanted Shen De to lead his troops to attack Luoyang directly.

Shen De smiled, "According to the report of the spies, there are only some old and weak soldiers in Luoyang City, if our army is in the city, we can take it before the Wei army returns." It's just that now there are starving people everywhere outside Luoyang City, what is the use of laying down such a city? And it can't solve the main force of the Wei army! ”

Cui Ju was a little displeased, and before he could speak, his nephew Cui Kewen spoke, "General Shen is also a veteran who has led troops for many years, don't you know the importance of Luoyang?" Uncle let us take Luoyang, which is to declare the world that we are orthodox! ”

Another nephew, Cui Keyuan, also smiled, "Defeat Luoyang, the west can take the fertile fields of Guanzhong, and the east can take two Huai, the Central Plains is in hand, and the heaven-sent opportunity cannot be missed!" ”

Shen De wanted to say something more, but when he thought of Cui Ju's recent personnel arrangements, he only nodded, "Reasonable, I am good at military affairs, and I really don't know anything about politics, the two major generals have extraordinary knowledge, I think this Central Plains Deer must be in Cui Gong!" ”

Cui Ju finally smiled, "Haha, General Shen, you don't have to be modest, you have to rely on you to kill the enemy and train the army!" In the future, if he dominates the world and becomes famous, General Shen will be the king side by side! ”

Shen De waved his hand again and again, "How dare you, this armor soldier grain and grass are all from Cui Gong, I am just a reckless man, I am willing to do my best for Cui Gong's great cause!" ”

After Shen De agreed to take command and go to Luoyang, Cui Ju was busy adding nine tins to himself, and the young emperor saw that he was not far from the Zen throne.

Cui Ju's nephews and nephews, even as long as they are surnamed Cui, are given official positions, and there is really no place to place them, so they designed a "job with the same official" to only receive Yulu and not work in the government.

Shen De went on the expedition, and Cui Keyuan went with him as a deputy marshal, first, Cui Keyuan needed to make military achievements, and second, he monitored Shen De, which was Cui Ju's arrangement.

But Cui Keyuan has his own little Jiujiu, Cui Keyuan took a private chef along the way, and every meal must be served to Shen De first, and he was polite to Shen De.

Shen De is so shrewd, knowing that this kid is waiting for Cui Ju to be the crown prince in the future, hoping to get Shen De's support.

Shen De also eats wine and drinks when he eats, and when he is full of food and drink, he praises and hints to Cui Keyuan in various ways.

Because the main forces of the Wei army were transferred to Jinling and Lianghuai, Shen De and Cui Keyuan only encountered a few groups of resurgent bandits along the way, and lost more than 100 people in a few battles.

But this is not worth mentioning at all for an army of 30,000, starting from Xiangyang, it will take half a month to reach the city of Luoyang.

If it weren't for the fact that there were so many hungry people outside Luoyang that Luoyang had to close the city gate during the day, Shen Debing might have attacked the city directly the moment he came to the city.
