Chapter 2020: Sad Mountain

Fa Zheng led the army into Yizhou, and the first thing they had to do was to climb over Micang Mountain.

Mt. Yonekura stretches for hundreds of miles, and the mountains are very difficult to navigate.

Most of the lieutenant generals and soldiers of Cao Shuo's army grew up in plains and hilly areas, and even if there were mountains in their hometowns, they would not affect the places where they lived.

The soldiers were not skilled at climbing the hills.

Leading the army into Micang Mountain, Fa Zheng soon found that this army, which was so strong that it was invincible in the plains, was actually confused like a group of underage children after entering the mountains and forests.

The army entered the mountains and forests, and soon news came that someone in the rear team had been left behind and was missing.

Fa Zheng asked the soldier who reported the news: "How many people have been lost?" ”

"About thirty or fifty." The soldier replied.

"Do you want to send someone to find it?" Yang Xiu next to him asked.

Fa Zheng shook his head: "The mountains are vast, where can I find the thirty or fifty people who have been lost?" ”

"Could it be that you can watch them lose it?" Yang Xiu asked puzzled.

"Let people light wolf smoke." Fa Zheng instructed: "Although it is in the mountains and forests, the wolf smoke can be seen from a distance, and the lost people should catch up when they see the wolf smoke." ”

When Yang Xiu and the generals heard him say this, they couldn't help but admire.

Although the mountains are endless, the wolf smoke rises in the air, and the lost soldiers can really find them following the signs of the wolf smoke as long as they are attentive.

"Give the order to go down, and the army will be stationed on the spot." Fa Zheng ordered: "We only have to wait for two days, and after two days, if they haven't caught up, we will leave!" ”

The military order was issued, and the soldiers were stationed in the mountains and forests.

Soon, there were several wolf smoke lit in the barracks.

Billowing smoke rose and rolled through the treetops, twisting into a thick pillar of smoke in mid-air, like a giant dragon soaring into the air, flying and hovering in the air!

Stationed in the mountains and forests, the gap between the trees is too small to set up a tent.

Fa Zheng sat on the soft fallen leaves, looking at the soldiers who were looking for a place to rest.

When they set off, the soldiers were all alive and well, and they entered the mountains and forests, but they were all slumped, sitting or lying on the ground, as if they didn't even bother to move.

"Fagong, how big is Mt. Rice Cang?" Yang Xiu approached him and asked, "Why have you walked for so long, and there is still no sign of going out?" ”

"Mt. Yonekura is too big." Fa Zheng replied: "Most of the soldiers in Shu have grown up in the mountains, they know the mountains, even if they get lost in the mountains and forests, I will definitely not have the slightest worry." But the soldiers who grew up in the plains didn't know anything about the mountains. Not to mention Rice Cangshan, even if you give them a small hill, I'm afraid you will lose your way. ”

Yang Xiu nodded: "Since it will take a long time to get out, is there a way for the Fagong to keep the soldiers from getting lost?" ”

"Get some rope." Fa Zheng said: "The soldiers are tied to each other with ropes around their waists, and if anyone can't keep up, the others will help them more." We are not good at mountain warfare, and once the enemy army arrives in advance, we will definitely suffer a great loss! ”

"I'll arrange it." Yang Xiu replied: "Xin Qi is to follow Fagong into Micang Mountain, otherwise I don't know how many soldiers will be lost in the mountains and forests." ”

"If the lost soldiers are in groups of three or five, maybe they can come back." Fa Zheng frowned: "If they don't get together, it's likely that they won't be able to come back!" ”

Yang Xiu, who was about to leave, looked at Fa Zheng in astonishment: "What does Fa Gong mean by saying that?" ”

"Although you can find edible things everywhere in the mountains and forests, there are also many things that look good and taste good, but they are poisonous when eaten." Fa Zheng replied: "In addition, there are wolves, insects, tigers and leopards in the mountains, and the army is marching, and the beasts dare not approach. If one or two people walked, they were afraid that they would be disturbed by wild beasts all the way. After all, there are only a few who can fight the beasts. ”

As soon as Fa Zheng said this, Yang Xiu suddenly felt his heart tighten.

He thought that relying on the mountains would increase the possibility of survival, after all, it was also said in the book of war that he would die by living on his back from the mountains and by the water.

But Fa Zheng's statement made him doubt all this.

There are crises everywhere in the mountains and forests, and with the mountains and forests at their back, I am afraid that there will be more deaths and fewer lives......

"I'll arrange the things that the Fa Gong ordered first." Yang Xiu said goodbye and left.

50,000 soldiers walked in the mountains and forests for two or three days, and only 30 or 50 people were lost.

Looking at the soldiers lying on the soft leaves, Fa Zheng still felt an indescribable uneasiness.

Most of the officers and soldiers in the army were brought from Hanzhong, and some of them were similar to the local sergeants, who grew up in the mountains and forests since childhood.

But after all, these people are only a minority, and many more soldiers have been living in the plains.

Once the enemy army hides in the mountains, they are likely to be eliminated without even seeing the opponent......

Liu Bei killed his entire family and was anxious for revenge, so he asked Cao Shuo for orders to lead troops to attack Yizhou.

The soldiers he brought out from Luoyang were all warriors who Cao Shuo regarded as a treasure pimple, and even the soldiers who took over from Hanzhong had experienced war and knew how to protect themselves on the battlefield.

Veterans are the most valuable asset in the military at all times.

If he lost these people, he really didn't know how to explain to Cao Shuo.

Lighting a fire in the mountains is different from lighting in the plains.

It's full of trees and fallen leaves, and the slightest spark can turn into a prairie fire.

The lit brazier is guarded.

The soldiers guarding the brazier had to not only make sure that it was burning all the time, but also that no sparks would burst out, and even if they did, they would have to be extinguished immediately, and the flames would not be allowed to form a climate.

In addition, every time the wolf dung in the brazier was about to burn out, they would take out another piece and throw it in.

Wolf dung can make smoke, but whenever the army marches, in order to exchange messages with their own men and horses in the distance, the army will have some in stock.

Since the rising smoke is heavy, it can be seen from a long distance.

Fa Zheng made people light wolf smoke, and it was precisely in this way that they showed the way to the lost soldiers, so that they would not run around in the mountains and forests.

Fa Zheng led the army into Micang Mountain, and Liu Bei also led the army out of Chengdu.

He had already discovered the path chosen by Fazheng, and Liu Bei was urging the soldiers to speed up their march all the way, intending to stop them in the mountains before Fazheng crossed Micang Mountain.

As long as Fazheng and the others are not allowed to successfully cross the Micang Mountain, most of Yizhou will be saved.

As the main general, Jiang Wei certainly knew Liu Bei's thoughts.

But he didn't think that he could stop Fa Zheng from crossing the mountains, he was thinking about where to use the terrain to effectively intercept Fa Zheng and the army he brought!

"Boyo!" Riding a horse at the front of the team, Liu Bei greeted Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei stepped forward: "What does Your Majesty command?" ”
