Chapter 216: Jiashanyu (3)
It has been three days since the defeat of the busy tooth army, and in these three days, Zhuge Liang retreated to a hilltop camped on a hundred miles from Yunnan City for rest.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, a huge map of southern Yizhou was hanging at the door, and Zhuge Liang was standing in front of the map at this time, his eyes were focused, and he was constantly looking.
It is rumored in the world that Zhuge Liang is shaped into a god, as if he is omnipotent, but how can there be such an exaggeration, Zhuge Liang is also a human being, but he has put more effort than others.
When he was young, he often wandered in the mountains and forests, set foot in many places, and had an understanding of the local human geography and customs.
Imagine that when Liu Bei first visited Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang went on a trip, and when he had a long talk with Liu Bei, he clearly pointed out that he was going to Yizhou at that time, but Zhuge Liang still knew little about the southern part of Yizhou, and the biggest reason was the inconvenience of transportation.
Yizhou has many mountains and rivers, the mountain roads are difficult to walk, there are many snakes and insects, and there were many rebellions in the south of Yizhou at that time, Liu Zhang was even more weak and incompetent at that time, and the officials under his hands were rampant in the township, to put it bluntly, it was not safe, so Zhuge Liang had never been to Nanzhong, and the farthest only reached Qianwei County and Ba County, and more in the north of Chengdu and the east.
It is precisely because he does not understand, so in the past three days, Zhuge Liang has either looked at the map or personally went to the surrounding area to investigate, although the three days are very short, and the area he knows is not much, but at least Zhuge Liang has made up a lot of geographical knowledge in Nanzhong, so that he will not know nothing.
"Prime Minister, there's news from Meng Huo!"
Unconsciously, Yang Yi came behind Zhuge Liang and said softly.
"Oh? Busy Tooth Changzhong was defeated, and in order to survive after going back, he had to put all the responsibility on Dong Di, and now the Marshal of the Three Caves is the only one left to go back, facing the exclusion of Meng Huo's relatives, and the slander of Busy Tooth Chang, he must be in a bad situation! Still looking at the hanging map, Kong Ming guessed.
For Zhuge Liang's ability, Yang Yi has long seen a lot of strangeness: "It is true that as the prime minister guessed, the busy tooth chief did put all the responsibility on Dong Dana, and Meng You and the cave master took the opportunity to fall into the well and slander, it is reported that Meng Yu has believed it, severely punished Dong Dana, and put him in prison." ”
"I didn't kill Dong Dana, the friendship between Meng Shu and his lord and minister is really deep! In addition, is there any other news about Meng Huojun? ”
After a slight pause, as if he had sorted out his heart, Yang Yi spoke: "This morning, the scouts detected a barbarian army from Yunnan City and went to the east!" ”
"How many? Cavalry or infantry? ”
"Look at the distance of its march should be three thousand people, the infantry is the majority, and the cavalry is only a few hundred!"
"Eastern ....." pointed to Yunnan City on the map, Zhuge Liang kept muttering in his mouth, and moved eastward......
Suddenly, Zhuge Liang's expression was shocked, and a smile appeared on his thin and white face.
"Wei Gong, how much food and grass do we have for our army?"
"Huh?" was suddenly asked about grain and grass, Yang Yi was stunned for a moment, this jump was too fast, and the front foot was still talking about Meng Huojun's intelligence, and suddenly talked about the supply of grain and grass.
But fortunately, Yang Yi, the housekeeper, is still extremely competent, and quickly sorted out his thoughts and said: "Hurry up and calculate that there are still twenty days, if our army makes no progress within ten days, I am afraid we will have to retreat to Jianning, Prime Minister!" ”
"Haha! Wei Gongxiu has to worry, at first Liang was often worried about the problem of grain and grass, but now there is a solution to the problem of grain and grass! ”
"The prime minister has a way?"
Pointing his finger to Yunnan City on the map, Zhuge Liang was in a somewhat happy mood and said: "Wei Gong and look, Meng obtained the knowledge that Zhu Bao, Gao Ding, and Yonghong were defeated, and gathered more than 30,000 people from his department in advance to enter Yunnan City, and Yunnan City is located at the intersection of Yongchang County, Yueshan County, and Yizhou County. ”
"And the west of Yunnan City is greedy for water, the water flow is turbulent, people and animals can not flow through the river, not to mention the transportation of grain and grass, so Bonan, Evil Dragon two places are closer to it, but they need to go around a big circle from the north, bypass the upstream source of greedy water, and during the period is a lot of rugged mountain roads, a trip down the consumption is huge, so the needs of Yunnan City are not mainly from these two places, on the contrary, from the east of the building!"
"The road from Yunnan to Dong Qi is close and not to mention, the flatness of the road is definitely far better than that of Bonan and Evil Dragon, so the supply of grain and grass in Yunnan should come from Dong Qi, even if it is not Dong Qi, it is also Dianchi Lake!"
At this time, Yang Yi's eyes were also staring at the map, and his thoughts were closely following Zhuge Liang, and after listening to Zhuge Liang's inference, Yang Yi nodded slightly in agreement.
"Whether it is Dongqi or Dianchi, if you want to transport grain and grass to Yunnan, you must pass through here!" At this time, Zhuge Liang was pointing to the ground.
"Jiashanyu!"
"Not bad! It is Jiashanyu, both sides of which are high mountains and mountains, the danger is abnormal, even if the cultivation is high, it is impossible to pass at all, so it can only pass through the Jiashanyu passage between the two mountains, although Meng Yu is reckless, but not mediocre, otherwise it is difficult to gain a foothold in Nanzhong, since he wants to block our army here, then it will naturally have arrangements for grain and grass, why do you need to send people and horses to charge grain, so these 3,000 people are not to charge grain, but to guard the grain road, after all, Jiashanyu is the throat of the grain road, once lost, Meng Huojun will be in trouble. ”
"And at this time, sending people to guard the grain road will only be a situation!"
"There is grain and grass to be transported to Yunnan through here!" Yang Yi turned her head and said excitedly.
"Wei Gong, quickly summon the generals to discuss the matter!"
"No!"
After receiving the order, all the generals in the army arrived one by one at this moment, looking at Zhuge Liang in front of the map with respect in their eyes.
Seeing that all the generals were coming, Zhuge Liang did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered: "Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, Ma Zhong!" ”
The generals were also accustomed to this, and seeing this situation, the prime minister must have already made up his mind, and once the prime minister made up his mind, it was almost impossible for them to persuade him to make a change, so they had to obey.
"The last general!"
"The three of you each lead 3,000 troops, camp one hundred and fifty miles from the northeast, east, and southeast of Yunnan City, strictly guard the intersections, and do not let go of a barbarian soldier!"
"No!"
"Zhang Wei, Wang Ping!"
"The last general!"
"You two each lead 5,000 troops as backup, once the two sides are fighting, which of the previous three divisions is in trouble will support whichever side, and you can't let the brute soldiers pass by!"
"No!"
At this time, a general in the camp, with a resolute face, a thin body but a great sense of strength, not like a layman, saw that all the generals had tasks, but he was not called, and it was inevitable that he was a little unhappy: "All the generals have heavy responsibilities, I don't know what the tasks of the last generals are?" Please show me the prime minister! ”
