After leaving Wu'an, Wei Wuji followed the army and marched hard, traveling at least a hundred miles a day. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
And this kind of speed that Wei Wuji seems to think is very slow, but it is also the limit of this army.
If the speed is accelerated, of course, it is not impossible, but there is a loss of the army's combat effectiveness, and the gain outweighs the loss.
Along the way, not only did you have to hurry, but the military supply of more than 10,000 troops was actually a troublesome matter.
However, the system of Wei is much better than that of other countries, and the granaries set up by the counties along the way can replenish their consumption in time.
After more than ten days of trekking, the Wei army finally entered Hanoi County, which was also the southernmost county of Wei and bordered the homeland of Chen.
After another day's journey, this 10,000-strong army entered the county town of Hanoi, and Wei Wuji had been to this place once, but he still had some impressions.
It may be because of Wei Wuji's identity as the son, or it may be that the county guard has a friendship with Xu Guanxiao, and he also went to the barracks to offer condolences in person.
In the county town, the army has rested for a day, and tomorrow they will go straight to Changping Pass, and there will be no more stops.
Wei Wuji, a person who can't stay idle, naturally wants to run out and go shopping, and by the way, see if he can learn some news about the front line.
But he really came to the right place, the prosperity of the county town gathered people from all over the world.
And because Hanoi is on the border, there are many merchants from Changping Pass, including Zhou, Qin, and even Chu and Wu.
Although there was tension under Changping Pass, it could not stop the businessmen at all, and the interests could make them forget their fears.
Finding the largest teahouse in the city, Wei Wuji led Zheng Dali and a group of guards inside, drinking tea while pricking up his ears to listen.
According to the accounts of the correspondents, Wei Wuji also knew more about the situation under the Changping Pass, which was also rare.
It turned out that during this period of time, the Chu State had already launched an attack first, but it was all small-scale and not at all.
And the army of Wu only made some tentative attacks, and did not make any major moves.
So it's a little weird, Changping Pass has hundreds of thousands of Chen soldiers, but he doesn't do it at all, and it can be seen from the fact that the merchants can still do business.
Upon learning of this news, Wei Wuji lost interest in the things in the teahouse, and then hurried to the barracks.
Early the next morning, the Wei soldiers, who had completed the preparations, began to set off for the destination of the trip under the leadership of their respective generals.
With such a situation on the front line, Wei Wuji really couldn't understand what was the use of his own people going.
There were no words all the way, but when Wei Wuji and the others passed by Xiping County, they met an old acquaintance.
Jia Qi, Captain Xiping, had also worked under Wei Wuji for a while, and was considered his "own man".
I didn't know the news he got from there, and he knew that Wei Wuji would pass by here, so he deliberately greeted him on the way he had to go.
So, Wei Wuji was retained, after all, people are so enthusiastic, it's not good if you don't give face.
But he only stayed for a while, and after lunch, Wei Wuji drove out with the guards, which could be regarded as deepening the relationship between master and servant.
On the Wei-Chen border, Wei Wuji rode a horse to catch up with Xu Guanxiao and others and joined the army.
Strictly speaking, this place can't be called a border line anymore, because the Wei State has actually occupied this place.
The land of the state of Chen, north of Changping Pass, and part of Xianghe, Shixian, Jingxian and Anping counties, had all fallen into the hands of the Wei state.
Wei Wuji heard that under the defeat, Chen Guojun was afraid of the Wei army's soldiers, and even abandoned the capital and fled. Knowing that the Chu-Wu coalition army was coming, Chen Bocai had the courage to rush back to Xinledu.
When he walked to Xianghe, Wei Wuji was delayed again, but it was Luan Hong, the captain of Xianghe, who had also been restrained by him.
Now Wei Wuji is majestic, and with his name, Luan Hong and Jia Qi are not bad in the local area.
You must know that many people know Wei Wuji's reputation for protecting his shortcomings, and if he offends these two plague gods, no one can guarantee that he will not attract Wei Wuji.
But here in Luan Hong, Wei Wuji just gave a few simple instructions and left directly.
After all, now that they are almost at the Changping Pass, it will not leave a bad impression if they don't follow the army well.
…………
"Childe, this land in the Central Plains of the Chen Kingdom is indeed fat and abnormal!" Brushing his beard, Xu Guanxiao said with a smile.
In fact, Xu Guanxiao and Wei Wuji chatted a lot along the way, after all, the two of them are going to work together.
But the more he talked, the more frightened Xu Guanxiao became. This little boy, who is as reckless as he appears, is really confident.
That's right, Xu Guanxiao's evaluation of Wei Wuji is so high, and sometimes some of Wei Wuji's insights can even make him stunned.
"General, you are wrong, this is the land of Wei......" Wei Wuji said calmly, giving people a sense of unfathomability.
Xu Guanxiao was stunned for a moment, and then patted his thigh and said, "Hey...... Look at my brain, Childe is right...... This is the land of my Wei Kingdom. ”
In this era of bad etiquette, the land or something, whoever occupies it is whoever owns it, even if it is returned to Uncle Chen now, he dares to do it?
"Childe, there are more than twenty miles, but you will reach Changping Pass." Xu Guanxiao looked ahead.
Wei Wuji nodded, and then said, "I don't know what the situation is now, if we fight, our army may be able to resist it." ”
"Don't worry, Childe, there are 30,000 defenders on Changping Pass, and with us, it will be a full 40,000 troops......"
Speaking of this, Xu Guanxiao said proudly, "With so many people, if they can't hold it by virtue of the natural danger of Changping Pass, then we might as well find a piece of tofu and kill it." ”
Xu Guanxiao learned this from Wei Wuji, and he asked how tofu could kill people.
Of course, Wei Wuji knew about these circumstances, when he withdrew the army, he originally asked Wu Mingyan to stay, with an army of 50,000, and stationed at Changping Pass.
Later, the war in Xiangping did not go well, so Wu Mingyan went with 20,000 reinforcements.
Thinking about this, of course Wei Wuji didn't come to do addition and subtraction, it was really Wu Mingyan's departure that left a lot of trouble for Changpingguan.
As soon as he left, the three generals on Changping Pass were not without the principals, and they complemented each other, so when defending against foreign enemies, their cooperation was discounted.
Now I am afraid that in order to compete for the right to speak, there will be a lot of quarrel between several people.
In this way, it is actually difficult to exert the power of defense.
Not to mention, when the Qin army was stationed at Changping Pass, what a powerful force it was, and it was not forcibly attacked by the Wei army.
Therefore, as long as the opposing commander is not afraid of the dead, this Changping Pass is actually very dangerous.
Of course, Wei Wuji also knew that the two kingdoms of Chu and Wu would definitely not attack so violently, and that would not do them any good.
"State affairs are difficult...... Wei Wuji let out a long sigh, his voice full of vicissitudes.
Seeing this situation, Xu Guanxiao smacked his tongue for a while, how old is this little boy, but he is like an old man who has seen through the world.
Then he was silent, and Xu Guanxiao only cared about hurrying with his head bored.
Before dark, they had to rush to Changping Pass, otherwise they wouldn't even have a place to sleep.
More than an hour later, when Wei Wuji raised his head, he saw a tall city wall standing between the two majestic ridges in front of him.
This is the first time Wei Wuji has seen Changpingguan.
