Chapter 262 Sending Troops

Zhao Yu smiled, but said firmly: "This time, we must also have the participation of the Guangjing Army!" Don't forget, how the Guangjing Army was trained! ”

Feng Shenji looked hesitant.

Ma Yu doesn't pay much attention to Guangjingjun, even if he pushes his son up, it depends on favors. After hearing this, he was a little confused, and lowered his voice and asked his son Ma Tongde: "Is the training of your Guangjing Army very special?" ”

Hearing this, Ma Tongde couldn't help but change his face slightly, nodded and said, "Yes!" In the beginning, I had to put on my armor and weapons every day, and set off from the camp for five miles and back. Now it's even more remarkable, it's twenty miles away! ”

Ma Yu said disappreciably: "What is this! Twenty miles away! ”

Ma Tongde said with a sad face: "The problem is the twenty-mile mountain road!" ”

Ma Yu couldn't help but change his face slightly, everyone knows how difficult the mountain road is, and he still wears a helmet and armor, how hard it is?

"In that case, you can! After all, the section of the mountain road that crossed Yaoshan made it easier for the Guangjing army to come. After all, this battle is about surprise, and the combat effectiveness is weak, but it is also acceptable! Yang Wenguang said slowly.

Zhao Yu looked at Feng Shenji and said with a smile: "Look at it! Even Zhongrong agreed, shouldn't you still be ready to object? ”

Feng Shenji said helplessly: "Okay! …… By the way, the prince is going to arrange for the lower officials to go there? ”

Zhao Yu thought for a while and said, "You follow Matthiha!" Although it is said that Ma Tizhi has rich experience, as a suspicious soldier, he needs the assistance of some subordinate officials, and the other people are not directional, so let Qi Xian and you assist, so that this king can lead the troops with peace of mind! ”

Feng Shenji was not very happy, but after listening to the latter words, he immediately turned his sorrow into joy. "Please rest assured, the lower officials will definitely call those Anhua barbarians, and they think that this is the main force!"

Zhao Yu nodded with a smile and said, "That's good!" ”

Next, Zhao Yu and Yang Wenguang and others discussed the matter of the journey. Logically speaking, there is nothing to say about the distance, just walk sixty or seventy miles a day. In fact, this is not the case, because in the middle of the mountain, there are not many valley floors and slightly gentler slopes that can accommodate the rest of the army. And there is also the problem of drinking water, after all, thousands of soldiers and horses, if there are not enough streams and rivers in the places they pass, then this raiding army will really have cups.

When it comes to a real march and a battle, things are not so simple, and there are many trivial things. At this time, a mature staff team is reflected, Zhao Yu's staff members do not say that there must be any great wisdom, but they are proud of arithmetic, and they are handy in dealing with these tedious chores.

Zhao Yu personally supervised and took eighty stone of fine white rice from the granary, all the white rice was cooked, dried, mixed with jerky, put into the mill and ground, and added salt.

You don't need to cook it, you can just put some of it into the rice bowl and pour hot water into it when you need to eat it. If you are in a hurry, you can pour it directly into the water bladder, and then put the water bladder close to your body, and after walking for a while, the heat emitted by the body and the bumps along the way are enough to mix water with rice noodles, minced meat, salt, etc. Just take it out and drink it.

Even if you are too hungry, you can just stuff a handful into your mouth, drink a sip of cold water, and swallow it to eat. And compared with the traditional rough military ration, this kind of military ration tastes a little better.

At the same time, because it is powdery, there are not many gaps in the inside after being placed, on the one hand, it can maximize the use of space, and on the other hand, it is relatively isolated from the air, and the storage time can be longer. Zhao Yu called it instant powder.

Because of the time constraints, everyone only shared a bucket of instant food powder. Instant noodles are packed in a long strip-shaped bag, and you can untie the string at one end when eating. I usually carry it on my back, and even wrap it around my waist is no problem.

On September 17, the third watch was over, and the sky was not yet bright, and the earth was already filled with white fog. The barracks were silently lined up with a thousand people, and as soon as Zhao Yu waved his hand, the army immediately headed for Yaoshan under the leadership of Yang Wenguang and Li Shouzhong.

In the morning, Zhao Yu and Ma Yu pretended to hold a huge departure ceremony in the city, and hundreds of civil and military officials went out of the city to see each other. As soon as the team set off, Zhao Yu rode a Que Yue black horse and rushed to the raid army under the escort of several powerful martial arts guards such as Zhao Yingwu.

If it weren't for Zhao Yu's failure to attend this expedition ceremony, I am afraid that it would make people suspicious, and Zhao Yu would not have to rush all the way so quickly.

After walking for a long time, the army finally arrived at Yaoshan before noon.

"Into the mountain!" Zhao Yu said with a tired face.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yu instructed Yang Wenguang: "You personally lead a team of men and horses to explore the way ahead." Although the king knows that there is such a passage, all the information is known from the people who collect medicine. And these news are three or four years ago, and it is difficult to say what has changed in them! You have a lot of responsibility for this trip! ”

Yang Wenguang nodded vigorously with a resolute expression, and said, "Yes!" The last general knows, the last general will set off! ”

Zhao Yu patted Yang Wenguang's shoulder and said with concern: "Be careful!" ”

Yang Wenguang turned and left.

Li Shouzhong walked up and said to Zhao Yu: "Lord Wang, you are tired after driving for most of the day, so get off the horse and rest!" The last general has already asked people to split mangosteen nearby and build a bamboo sedan chair. Please go to the bamboo sedan chair to rest! ”

Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "No need, although the army went out by surprise this time, no one dared to say that it would definitely win." Don't do these things, this king will share weal and woe with the soldiers! ”

Li Shouzhong said a little stupidly: "Yes! At the end of the year, I will go back so that people don't have to cut down bamboo! ”

Zhao Yu just wanted to nod, but suddenly had an idea and said, "You don't have to waste these bamboos." Didn't you say there weren't enough water bladders? Let's use these bamboos to make water bladders. No matter how bad it is, it can be used as fuel tonight! ”

Li Shouzhong nodded admiringly and said yes, and retreated.

However, Zhao Yu was indeed tired, so he took advantage of the time when the army entered the mountain in batches and arrived at Yaoshan. This is a Guizhou to prevent the mountain barbarians from going out of the mountains to loot, but because the naturalization work is done well, the mountain barbarians have long become Song people, so they are slowly abandoned. It's been more than 30 years since I gave up.

However, the construction is quite consolidated, and some main buildings are still retained under the destruction of the years. Zhao Yu found a leeward wall here, set up a tent, and slept wrapped in felt.

[Happy New Year's Day to everyone! By the way, today is 1314, don't say you don't know what it means! Mu Mu also has to accompany his girlfriend, so that's all! Ha, forgive me! In addition, I wish the world's lovers to be loyal to the country tonight! (To be continued.) )
