Of course, Sun Yuan only told everyone that the main purpose of this training was to train the army's ability to march long distances, and did not say that this was a real battle, except for a few henchmen of Fei Hong.

Although the army has been training for half a year, there are basically some rudiments of a modern army. But Sun Yuan didn't think that the soldiers could still obey orders when they heard that they were going to meet the enemy's bayonets. These soldiers are all from Nanzhili, and the ants are still stealing their lives, and the ghost knows if they will desert and run home after hearing the news.

Therefore, Sun Yuan decided to wait until the soldiers were pulled to the battlefield before explaining the matter to his subordinates.

This set is written in Sun Tzu's Art of War. "Where the way is a guest, in-depth is specialized." "Sun Tzu", Nine Places.

In other words, fighting in a place where they were originally away from home can the soldiers be able to concentrate.

Chuzhou is too far away from Yangzhou, and the terrain is mostly mountainous. The so-called "mountains around Chuchu", and it snowed so heavily in the sky that even if the soldiers wanted to escape, they had nowhere to go. At that time, in the face of a powerful enemy, we can only unite as one and fight bravely to kill the enemy.

Of course, this set can only be used now.

In the future, the soldiers fought a lot of battles, and when there was a war, there was no need to hide it.

After a day of walking, I entered the hilly area of Chuzhou. The snow was getting tighter and tighter, and the soldiers walked with great difficulty. Even if they are lightly dressed, after setting up camp, many people still lie directly in the snow and refuse to get up.

There used to be an official road from Jiangpu to Chuzhou, but because it has been abandoned for hundreds of years, it has been completely abandoned, and there is no way to find it. Now there is only one official road in Chuzhou, which crosses the river from Nanjing Dasheng Pass, passes through Quanjiao to Qingliu Pass, and then to Chuzhou.

After setting up the camp, Sun Yuanzheng went around to inspect the village, and the pawn who gave the order came to report: "General, Deputy Fei Qianhu invites you to the military tent to discuss matters." ”

Fei Hong sat alone in the military tent in front of a rudimentary map, his brows furrowed. Seeing Sun Yuan striding in, he said, "General, come and see, there is an official road here, where might we go." The snow was too big, and the general picked a deserted path, and when he reached the Qingliu Pass, he was afraid that the soldiers would be so tired that they would have no strength. ”

Sun Yuan came to the map and looked, Fei Hong's finger happened to be on the whole pepper: "General, our army might as well turn there, no matter how you say it, you can eat hot food." ”

Sure enough, I still want to take the official road, Sun Yuan sighed and shook his head.

"General......" Fei Hong opened his mouth, trying to persuade. However, whether he is loyal or not, he is always respectful to Sun Yuan on weekdays, but he refuses to refute a word. After thinking about it, he swallowed the second half of the sentence back into his stomach.

Sun Yuandao: "I'm afraid it's too late to go to Quanjiao now, we've been on the road for a day, if we turn around now, I'm afraid it will take two days." When the time comes, maybe you will run into the thief army. The terrain of Quanjiao is empty, all of which are large flatlands, and it is not enough for us to put people in the past. I can't do such a thing as giving a big gift, and I can't afford to lose it. ”

According to real historical records, on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the peasant army brazenly marched south, and the forward arrived in Luzhou within one day. No, no. Then he turned to attack Chaoxian and Hanshan. On the third day, they attacked Hezhou and Jiangpu again.

Hezhou is only two days away from Quanjiao, and only a few dozen miles away from Jiangpu, and now that place must be full of the eyes and ears of the peasant army, and it is difficult for such a large army of the Ningxiang Army to run over without being discovered. When the time comes, it will be difficult to collide with the peasant army attacking Jiangpu. It doesn't take much, only 10,000 people, enough for the Ningxiang army to drink a pot, Sun Yuan can't afford to take this risk.

"In this way, the general must go over Langye Mountain to Qingliu Pass."

Sun Yuan: "Exactly, you can implement it." ”

Fei Hong nodded and said yes, and then said with a worried face, "However, there is still a problem. ”

Sun Yuan: "You say." ”

Fei Hong: "Although it is said that there was an official road to Chuzhou from here in the early years, it has been abandoned for many years, and it snows so heavily that there is no way to find a way at all." It was full of white snow, and the troops entered the mountains, and it was not a way to drill back and forth like this. If you get lost, you will spoil the general's affairs. ”

Sun Yuan was stunned for a moment, and looked back at the outside of the big tent, and there were layers of mountains in the distance. To put it bluntly, the mountains in Chuzhou are all small hills, not high, and the terrain is gentle, but there are too many, and it is quite tiring to walk down one hill after another.

Moreover, it is white everywhere, and there is no way to see the road at all.

Sun Yuan: "Can't you just ask a local person to be a guide?" ”

Fei Hong smiled bitterly in despair: "Didn't the general find out that we haven't seen a mountain man at all after we have been walking all day?" ”

Sun Yuan thought about it, it was really like this, and suddenly took a breath of cold air: "Where did this person go?" ”

Fei Hong: "On the way here, my subordinates have also seen a lot of sloping terraces, and there must have been people in the past, but they have been abandoned for many years. Presumably, it has been too cold in the past few years, and the land is thin, so it can't support people at all, and the people have gone down the mountain to make a living. ”

Sun Yuan nodded and said in his heart: This Xiaoice River period is really powerful, and agriculture in the remote areas of the Ming Dynasty is basically ruined.

He was a little depressed, if he let the army walk around so blindly, he didn't know how many days it would take to reach Qingliu Pass, and when he got to the ground, maybe Chuzhou would fall.

Sun Yuan: "Why don't you ask the soldiers in the army, has anyone walked this road, more than 1,000 people, I don't believe that no one knows?" ”

"It's not practical." Fei Hong said: "The sergeants and soldiers of the army are all thousands of households in Ningxiang, and it was too late to farm before, so who has nothing to do to come to Chuzhou." Even if you want to come, you can't open the way. ”

Sun Yuan sighed: "Let's see if the snow stops tomorrow, it would be best if we could see the sun, and then find a general direction to march." ”

Up the north, down the south, left west, right east, the approximate location of Chuzhou on the map, Sun Yuan still knows.

Suddenly, Fei Hong slapped his thigh: "Yes, the last general thinks of someone, he probably knows." ”

Sun Yuan raised his spirit: "You say it, old Fei." ”

Fei Hong: "According to Huang Qi, he came to report. ”

"Which Yellow Flag Boss?"

"It's Mr. Huang Qi of the squad where Zhu Xuanshui's daughter was imprisoned." Fei Hong said: "On the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Miss Zhu went to see Zhu Xuanshui and talked for a long time, and Huang Qi always stood outside the cabin to monitor, just about to hear that Deputy Zhu Qianhu said that when he was a deputy Qianhu in Nanjing Jinyiwei all these years, he had traveled all over the Nanzhi, maybe he had been to this place. ”

Sun Yuan suddenly came to his senses: "I have forgotten this father and daughter in the past few days, Fei Hong, you go and ask." If you know, let them lead the way. He said, "As long as you bring our army to the land, let them go." ”

"Yes, the last general will ask." Fei Hong stood up and was about to leave, but suddenly asked in a low voice: "General, is the thief army really going to attack Chuzhou, will it not come?" If ......"

Sun Yuan interrupted him: "It will definitely come, it will definitely be." ”
