Chapter 036: A Difficult Journey

Han Fu's chariot left, and he walked in such a hurry, so that the officers and troops who followed him stumbled, feeling that this was not the opening of the three armies, but like a retreat after a defeated battle. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhang Yan and Zhang Baiqi also rushed to the outside of the post station with the "Yellow Turban Army", or according to the old method, Yuan Lang let his troops follow behind the officers and soldiers, and only walked in front of the grain and grass troops.

The snow is still falling, but it's not icing yet, otherwise the road would be even more difficult.

The "Yellow Turban Army" had already changed into their homemade cotton clothes and pants to protect against the cold, but even so, when they reached dusk, the cold north wind was howling, the sweat on their backs was cold, and no matter how warm they were, it looked like they had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Huang Shuai, it's not okay to go on like this!" Zhang Baiqi spoke to Yuan Lang for the first time, only to listen to him continue; "Our soldiers' clothes are not as good as those of the officers and soldiers, we are all self-made, the breathability is too poor, and when we sweat a lot, our backs will be cold! We've been marching since lunch, and if we go on like this, the officers and troops won't collapse, and our people will collapse first! ”

Yuan Lang rode a tall horse, and he was wearing exactly the same clothes, although he sweated very little, but he felt a little bit about Zhang Baiqi's reaction.

"Mr. Liu, you are the supervisor of the official army stationed in our army, you see that you will tell Lord Han the truth, how about it?"

Yuan Lang really didn't want to go to Han Fu, not because he didn't want to see Han Fu, but because he didn't want to see the two beside him.

I thought that Liu Zihui would agree, but unexpectedly, Liu Zihui shirked and said: "It's not that I don't do my best, it's just that I heard that Lord Han gave an order just now to let the army speed up, and be sure to rush to Anyang County early tomorrow morning, otherwise the heavy snow will close the road and it will be difficult to move an inch, and we won't be able to catch up with the meeting, and it will be a big matter if we are trapped on the road!" ”

"But we are not him Han Fu, he Han Fu is good, sitting in a carriage with a stove, there is a big horse, of course he doesn't feel tired, he can't wait to travel day and night!"

Zhang Yan rode his horse beside him, and he was uncomfortable listening to Liu Zihui's words.

"I also know that everyone is hard, but how can the march and fight not be hard!" Liu Zihui is also very difficult to do as the supervisor of the official army in the "Yellow Turban Army", so he only heard him greet him: "Huang Shuai, two Zhang Shuai, please understand!" ”

Yuan Lang had nothing to say, he could understand that if his soldiers couldn't even endure this little hardship, could they still be regarded as their own troops.

Zhang Baiqi put forward his opinion, but Liu Zihui's analysis made him feel very reasonable, he was not an unreasonable person, so he also nodded and agreed.

But Zhang Yan is a rough person, so now he is the only one who is still scolding.

Most of this "Yellow Turban Army" are from his Black Mountain Army, so it is reasonable that Zhang Yan is more distressed than ordinary people.

In this way, the nearly 7,000-strong troops of the Jizhou Sujube Alliance, composed of the vanguard army Pan Fengbu, the Chinese army Han Fu, the Yellow Turban Army Yuan Lang and the baggage troops, finally entered the territory of Yanzhou after they ran day and night, rushed like crazy, passed through Anyang in 20 days, passed through several counties, and finally entered the territory of Yanzhou.

The location of this meeting is in Sour Zao County, Chenliu County, Yanzhou, and this meeting is the famous Eighteen Road Princes Alliance in history, also known as the Sour Zao Alliance.

However, just entering the territory of Yanzhou does not mean that you will arrive at the location of the alliance, according to Liu Zihui, Suozao County is still 100 miles away from here, and according to the current speed of 30 miles a day, it will take about four days to arrive at the earliest.

However, the current situation of the army is not optimistic, and both the officers and the Yellow Turban Army have died of exhaustion or illness, and this number is still increasing day by day, and up to now, the death toll has exceeded 30.

Among these people, the Yellow Turban Army accounts for more than half, and the shortage of materials and the inferior attire of the officers and soldiers are naturally the two reasons, but the gap in physical fitness still makes Yuan Lang see that if he wants to lead this team well, he has to spend more effort.

"Stop Forward, Stop Moving Forward ......"

There were a lot of emergencies encountered along the way, so Yuan Lang didn't pay much attention to the sudden stop this time.

As soon as the order to stop the march, the soldiers around Yuan Lang immediately collapsed on the side of the road like deflated balls, and for them, it was really difficult for them to travel on only two legs for more than 20 days.

"Mr. Liu, what's going on up front?"

Seeing Liu Zihui, who came forward to inquire about the news, came back, Yuan Lang couldn't wait to know what was going on in front of him.

"Hey, a few more soldiers have been sacrificed!" Liu Zihui sighed and said: "When the vanguard army was marching, there was an avalanche on the mountain, and many soldiers were buried in the snow before they could run away, and the death toll is still being counted, and it is estimated that it is not optimistic!" ”

The vanguard army is talking about the army led by Pan Feng, they were originally more than ten miles away in front of the Chinese army, but the increasingly difficult road still slowed down the rhythm of their march.

"Bai Shuai, you restrain the soldiers to rest in place, and you must not move without an order! …… Hei Shuai, you led fifty sturdy soldiers to come forward with me to rescue the buried brothers, human life is greater than the sky, and we will do our part! ”

Yuan Lang explained, and then took Zhang Yan and fifty randomly selected rescuers to the scene of the accident quickly.

An army of thousands of people, the marching array was very long, Yuan Lang walked all the way, shouting all the way to give way, but the exhausted officers and soldiers staggered to occupy the aisle, making the rescue of Yuan Lang and his party seem difficult to move an inch.

finally rushed to the place where the accident occurred, and the scene in front of him made Yuan Lang speechless.

I saw that on the long and narrow road, I was suddenly stopped by a snow-capped mountain that seemed to fly down from the nine heavens, not to mention that people were pressed below and had no hope of survival, even if the hard rock was instantly suppressed by such a large object, it was estimated that it would be a ruin.

When Yuan Lang rushed to the side of Pan Feng, the commander of the vanguard army, he had a fierce quarrel with a small official.

Yuan Lang didn't know why they were arguing, Zi Shi stood aside and listened, and he seemed to understand some meaning from just a few words.

It turned out that Han Fu sent someone to inform Pan Feng, asking him to open the road as soon as possible, and let his car pass first, because there had just been an avalanche here, and a second time could happen at any time.

And Pan Feng thought that it was important to save people, even if there was no life, he had to find the corpse. In addition, Pan Feng once again emphasized that he hoped that Han Fu would abandon the car and change to a foal, because the road is already small, and with so much snow, it is impossible to open up a road for such a large car to pass.

"General, I've already brought the words, it's your own business to do it or not! But when the adults ask, don't blame the little ones for telling the truth! ”

The person who came was arrogant, Pan Feng glared at him, and immediately scolded: "You and other villains will only flatter and offer good!" When you go back and tell your lord like this, you will say that I said that you must change horses, or you will make your lord wait! ”

"Okay, good, general, I'll talk ugly about the front, you ...... again"

Yuan Lang saw that Pan Feng was about to do something that angered Han Fu again, so he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the little official and persuaded: "This adult, and slow to get angry, the reason why General Pan let the adult change horses is that he doesn't know that the adult's car can be disassembled and reassembled, the general's starting point is good, but the words are a little rough!" ”

"Even if I knew, I would ......"

Yuan Lang hurriedly gave Pan Feng another look and asked him to say a few words, and then continued to persuade: "I think so, my lord, you go back first, just say that General Pan will open a road first, please Lord Han first change the foal and go first, as for the car, wait for the soldiers in front of you to pass, and then find someone to disassemble and send it over for assembly, do you think it's okay?" ”

"Hmph, if that's the case, I don't think Lord Han is an unreasonable person, so that's it!"

The little official shook his hand and left without a good face.

Pan Fengqi's fist was clenched, and he couldn't wait to go up and punch the arrogant man down.

"General Pan, I'm looking at a large-scale avalanche, I'm afraid the people below won't survive! I don't think it's unreasonable for Lord Han to be worried, the terrain here is steep and the people are noisy, if you don't open up the survival channel in time, it is inevitable that there will be no avalanche again! ”

Yuan Lang analyzed Pan Feng, and he believed that Pan Feng was not a general who disregarded everyone's lives.

"It's a pity that those soldiers who went with me on the expedition ended up with a burial in another country...... What Brother Yuan said is extremely true, I am also in a hurry, I see, you and my people will hurry up and open up a way! ”

The purpose of Yuan Lang's trip was exactly this, so he naturally gladly accepted Pan Feng's suggestion.

It took Yuan Lang and Pan Feng a long time to open up the rescue channel, but fortunately, there were enough personnel, and everyone took turns to fight, so it went smoothly, and when Han Fu's herald came to urge for the fifth time, a road that could only accommodate one person and one rider was finally opened.

The passage was not a success, because there was still grain and grass in the rear army, and these carriages could not pass no matter what, so Yuan Lang and Pan Feng were only half of the success.

Although it was only half of the success, Han Fu couldn't wait to pass, and after learning that the passage was opened, Han Fu ordered the excavation to be stopped, and ordered him to go first, and then Pan Feng simply let the remaining wounded in the vanguard army also pass, and the rest of the soldiers who came and wanted to go were blocked inside, and were asked to help excavate, otherwise they would not think about going over.

Pan Feng's set really works, the soldiers with a strong desire to survive, I heard that they can't get through if they don't dig, they all throw off their arms to do it, as the so-called people are powerful, they use the spirit of "foolish people move mountains", plus the desire to survive, a seemingly big roadblock snow mountain, just in more than two hours, was opened up from it A passage that can accommodate ordinary cars to pass.

As soon as the passage opened, the anxious soldiers rushed out, Yuan Lang guarded the entrance of the passage, and he saw his troops after a while, and the "Yellow Turban Army" led by Zhang Baiqi also arrived with the crowd.

"Bai Shuai, Black Shuai, you go first, I have something to do, I'll be there in a while!"

Yuan Lang didn't go along, it was because he once said that he would disassemble Han Fu's car and send it over, and he said a lot, if he didn't help Pan Feng implement it, I was afraid that someone would say that he was not.

Pan Feng knew Yuan Lang's intention to stay, and he said gratefully: "Brother Lao Yuan, to be honest, that big guy, if you don't know how to do it, I don't dare to say that I can handle it!" ”

Yuan Lang smiled awkwardly, he had carefully observed Han Fu's car when he passed by just now, and found that its structure was exquisite, ingenious, with wood frame structure as the main structural method, built by columns, beams and other main components. The junction between each component coincides with the mortise and tenon joint, and this component connection mode makes the wooden structure of the car driving rich in special flexibility, which can not only bear a large load, but also allows a certain deformation to be generated, and cancels a certain wave energy through deformation under the load, and reduces the jitter response of the structure.

Let's ask such an advanced wooden structure, without their own presence, with what Pan Feng has seen and heard, how can they fiddle with it.
