In the early morning, a thin mist covered the earth, and the dew soaked the placket of the clothes.

In the morning, there was no fighting, and the soldiers were preparing for the morning meal or cleaning up their personal hygiene. Chen Zhi led the guard battalion, and he was also in the lower reaches of the Han River, about five miles away from Hanzhong City, drawing water.

This kind of thing of drawing water could not have been done by Chen Lai.

However, a few days ago, Kong Ming's military division explained that during this time, he had to go to the lower reaches of the Han River to draw water.

Although he didn't understand this military order very well, Chen Zhi still followed the instructions of Kong Ming's military division, and personally took his own military camp every morning to draw water from the lower reaches of the Han River, which was about five miles away from Hanzhong City.

Hanzhong City is upstream, and the Han River passes through the city. In principle, the army cannot be used to draw water downstream, and who knows whether the Hanzhong army will poison the Han water, or all kinds of domestic sewage in the city of Hanzhong are also discharged from the Han water.

When the army wanted to get water, it also bypassed Hanzhong City and took water from the upper reaches of the Han River

Or find another source of water.

Therefore, Kong Ming's military commander ordered Chen to take water from the lower reaches of the Han River, which is a bit unreasonable.

However, regardless of whether this military order is reasonable or not, Chen Zhi is also carrying it out to the letter.

Naturally, the Hanzhong army did not poison the upper reaches of the Han River, and the domestic sewage in the city of Hanzhong was precipitated by a four- or five-mile-long section of the river, and when it flowed through the place where Chen took water, there was no trace of pollution in the river water.

Chen arrived at the river and cleaned up his personal hygiene.

He already understood a little, the military advisor asked him to come here to get water, and nine times out of ten he was staring at the river.

After all, most of the river water that is retrieved every morning is also discarded.

After washing his face, Chen Zhi was about to wash his clothes when he heard one of his guards shouting: "General, there is something in the river!" The sound instantly attracted everyone's attention. Following the guard's point, everyone looked at the anomalies in the river.

On the surface of the river, there seemed to be a few knots of wood or something, drifting with the current.

"Quick, salvage it!" Chen Zhi's spirit was shocked, and he immediately ordered.

At this time, Chen Zhi completely understood that Kong Ming's military advisor asked him to fetch water here, but he was afraid that he was just waiting for these things in the river, right?

Soon, some soldiers jumped into the river and fished up the ups and downs on the river.

The ten bamboo tubes were placed in front of Chen Zhi. The bamboo tube is tied with silk threads, which are obviously stuffed with these things, and a guard is quick to untie the silk threads and see what is in the bamboo tube.

"Presumptuous, no one is allowed to look at these bamboo tubes without a military order!"

kicked the guard who was about to look at the bamboo tube out of the way, and Chen Zhi shouted.

Chen Zhi was also curious about what was in these bamboo tubes.

But Chen Zhi knew that the things contained in these bamboo tubes were only afraid that they were very important. Therefore, Chen Zhi didn't dare to check these bamboo tubes in vain, in case he missed the military advisor's plan, wouldn't he Chen Zhi die without redemption?

Taking off his battle robe and holding all ten bamboo tubes, Chen Zhi glanced at the river again, lest there be anything missing.

For a long time, there was no bamboo tube on the river.

Occasionally, there will be some fallen leaves, or some other debris, floating down with the river.

"Let's go, let's go back to camp!"

Chen Zhi carried a battle robe with a bamboo tube and beckoned the guards back to the camp.

As for the work of collecting water, it seems that there is no need to do it anymore, right?

……

In the camp, Zhuge Liang, who had practiced all night, was full of energy.

At this time, Zhuge Liang was having dinner with his lord Liu Bei, and by the way, he was discussing some military information.

Yesterday evening, news came from the sentry that Jia Mengguan was afraid that he would not last long.

It stands to reason that Zhang Ren captured Jiameng Pass, which is a good thing. After all, they have formed an alliance with Xichuan Liu Zhang. The allies captured Jiameng Pass, which was a huge blow to the common enemy Zhang Lu.

It's just that Liu Zhang is friend or foe, Liu Bei knows very well.

When Zhang Lu, a common enemy, was there, Liu Zhang and Liu Bei were allies.

Once Zhang Lu is destroyed, will Liu Zhang still recognize him Liu Bei as an ally?

It must be known that Hanzhong was Liu Zhang's territory, and it was only occupied by Zhang Lu before; There is really a chance to recover Hanzhong, and Zhang Lu will definitely not let others occupy it again; Allies can't!

And Jia Mengguan is the key.

Liu Zhang's army is in front of Jiameng Pass, if he Liu Bei can quickly destroy Zhang Lu, then Hanzhong is his Liu Bei's.

After all, this was taken back from Zhang Lu, and it was not a forcible robbery of Liu Zhang's territory. Even if Liu Zhang wants to take back Hanzhong, there is no justifiable reason; Unless Liu Zhang wants to meet each other in arms.

Of course, before Hanzhong City was captured, if the Xichuan army was allowed to enter the Jiameng Pass, it would be difficult to say whether they would join forces to destroy Zhang Lu or whether the allies would only have a dirty battle first.

At this time, Jia Mengguan was still in the hands of Zhang Lu, and he was a new deputy general under his command.

However, after Zhang Lu transferred troops many times, the strength of Jiameng Pass at this time was seriously insufficient, and it was already the limit of the defenders of Jiameng Pass to be able to block Zhang Ren's onslaught for nearly half a month. At this moment, Jia Meng Pass may be broken by Zhang Ren at any time.

Therefore, before Jiameng Pass was broken by Zhang Ren, he Liu Bei had to take Hanzhong City, creating a fait accompli.

Take Hanzhong City as soon as possible, which is also what Zhuge Liang is looking forward to.

……

was discussing, only to see Chen Zhi hurriedly break into the big tent, carrying a package in his hand, and even had some water stains on his body.

"Lord Yu, military advisor, the last general found some bamboo tubes in the lower reaches of the Han River!"

Chen Zhi replied excitedly, and then spread the package in his hand on the ground, and ten bamboo tubes were lying in the unfolded package.

Seeing these bamboo tubes, Zhuge Liang's hanging heart quieted down.

"Lord, it's a big deal!" Zhuge Liang didn't even look at these bamboo tubes, so he congratulated Liu Bei.

Zhuge Liang knows what is in these bamboo tubes, even if he doesn't know, he can guess eight or nine.

Liu Bei was a little surprised when he heard this, looked at Zhuge Liang, and then looked at the ten bamboo tubes on the ground, and then quickly came back to his senses.

Happy, Liu Bei copied a bamboo tube in his hand, untied the silk thread tied to the bamboo tube, and the bamboo tube was opened. Liu Bei poured the bamboo tube upside down, and there was an extra silk silk in his hand; The silk silk was densely covered with small characters.

At a glance and ten lines, Liu Bei quickly finished reading the content on the silk silk.

"Military advisor, Wei Yan and Gan Ning, they really live up to expectations!" Liu Bei said happily.

As he spoke, Liu Bei handed the silk silk in his hand to Zhuge Kongming.

Zhuge Liang looked at the content written on the silk silk, and he was also smiling.

In other words, arranging for Wei Yan and them to lurk in Hanzhong City is just the icing on the cake.

In fact, Zhuge Liang didn't fully expect them to play a huge role.

After all, if he wants to take Hanzhong City as soon as possible, and if he wants to take Hanzhong City at the lowest cost, he Zhuge has a way.

However, today, Wei Yan and the others have given a satisfactory answer.
