Chapter 235: An Unexpected Confrontation

Everyone's eyes in the hall were focused on Tian Chou, and Cao Pi asked, "Does Zitai know that there is still a path from Youbeiping to Liaoxi?" ”

Tian Chou arched his hand and said: "From this east gate of the city, there is a mountain thirty miles in the northwest direction, which is the remaining vein of Yanshan, the name is the belt mountain, the north slope of the east slope of the wall stands thousands of thousands, the knife splits the axe, the cliff is steep, and the river of the hometown is close to the west branch of the north mountain root; The south slope of the west slope is slightly soothing, and the overall mountain range is magnificent, connecting the sky and a half, broad and deep. Pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info overlook on the top of the mountain, you can see the surrounding mountains like all the children and grandchildren prostrate under it, ring arch columns, endlessly, the extreme eye south sky, vaguely see the vast sea. ”

Ji Yong opened his mouth and said: "The last general also knows this mountain, and from a distance view of this mountain, it can be seen that there is a stone area on the mountainside, and the view is faint like the horizontal of clouds. When you look closely, you can see that it is a white stone, which is not the same color as the mountain stone. Therefore, it is named Belt Mountain, this mountain but on the eve of heavy rain, there will inevitably be heavy fog, within the zhang Xu can not be seen, when the summer rainstorm in the mountain streams tend to converge into a torrent tilt, the mountain is very low-lying, often will be flooded, so no one will live there, because it can not be cultivated. ”

Tian Chou nodded and said: "Yes, but there are five valleys at the southwest foot of this belt mountain, called Juxian Valley, this valley will be flooded during heavy rain, it is difficult to find, but this valley is flat, as long as three thousand people are sent to fill the valley, you can pass the baggage, from this valley out of the belt mountain can go to Liaoxi County, this Liaoxi County Daling River downstream bank, here is the only way for Liaoxi to enter the right Beiping, although there are hills of Songling Mountain on the bank of the Daling River, but most of the places are flat, It's just right to compete with the Wuhuan people. ”

Cao Pi asked: "The Wuhuan people are fast, will they cross the Daling River first to the territory of Beiping on my right?" ”

Tian Chou said: "Unless the Wuhuan people want to fight a decisive battle with us with their own forces, if they want to wait for the Yuan army, they will inevitably gather and wait on the banks of the Daling River. ”

Cao Pi asked, "How long does it take to fill in the soil and make the road?" ”

Tian Chou replied: "Three thousand people rushed to work day and night, and it took three days to take soil on the spot. ”

Cao Pi immediately said: "There are 3,000 people who are in the middle of labor to fill in the soil and build roads, and Cambridge is to bring 1,000 soldiers under his command to supervise. ”

Tian Chou and Niu Jin immediately received their orders. Cao Pi continued: "General Wen Lie can send some more scouts to find out the exact location of the enemy army. ”

Cao Xiu immediately received the order. Then Cao Pi said to Gao Shun: "General Gao took a thousand soldiers under his command to escort the 4,000 people under the command of General Wen Ze to transport the baggage to the front of Juxian Valley and set up camp and wait for my army. ”

After Gao Shun and Yu Ban received the order, Cao Pi continued: "Now there are still four elite soldiers who are not under their command, and the soldiers Cao and Cao will each receive two songs, and the 1,000 soldiers of General Ji and the tiger and leopard riders will go to Juxian Valley three days later, and go out of Liaoxi County to meet the enemy. ”

The remaining generals immediately got up to answer the order, and Cao Pi then said to Tian Yu: "Sacrificial wine is engaged in the political affairs of sitting in the city to maintain Youzhou. ”

Tian Yu replied, "No." ”

After the discussion, Tian Chou and Niu Jin were the first to leave the mound with the sergeants and the people, Tian Chou's people were the people who became the people of Tun after the soldiers were disarmed from Youzhou, not the old people brought by Yu Ban from Yecheng, so they can only pave the road, and the old people still need to be more reliable in transporting grain.

Then there is Yu Ban and Gao Shun to open, the three thousand people with Yu Ban are the old people who followed the Cao army to fight in the world, many of these people have experienced many battles, almost half a sergeant, and a team of people who have experienced a hundred battles is also a powerful force, because they are not easy to be scattered, even if they are scattered, they have the opportunity to be able to gather, and even in the case of serious attrition of the army, they can choose sergeants from such people. It is this kind of people who are also the precious wealth of the generals.

Cao Pi is naturally very relieved to use such a man to transport grain. The scouts sent by Cao Xiu rushed back within two days, as Tian Chou expected, they were stationed in the Daling River in Liaoxi County, only seventy miles away from the earthen wall, but the earth wall was blocked by the mud water, and there was the Yanshan remnant in the east, so the enemy army could not be seen seventy miles away, if it wasn't for Tian Chou pointing out the shortcut to the belt mountain, Cao Pi could only take the sergeant and then use mules and pack horses to transport the baggage over the remaining veins of the Yanshan Mountain and confront the enemy, otherwise it was to take the waterway from the river, but the river channel of the river was too narrow, There is no way to transport baggage on a large scale, and if you go to Liaoxi County like this, it will be no different from dying early.

Determined the location of the enemy's army, Cao Pi immediately decided to set off with a large army, as for the mound, there are only 1,000 guards to maintain law and order in the city, as for the remaining people in the military tun and the mintun, Cao Pi is controlled by the newly canonized Diannong lieutenant, and now all the weapons are locked in the warehouse, and only 1,000 guards in the city have weapons to deal with all emergencies.

Most of these thousand guards are the children of Tian Chou who live in seclusion in Xu Wushan, and some of them are Xian Yufu's soldiers, Tian Yu is Xian Yufu's military advisor, Tian Chou's recommender, and it is not a problem to lead this group of people.

For this scheduling, Cao Pi can be said to be very thoughtful, in the eyes of all civil and military officials in Youzhou, such a dispatch is enough to show that Cao Pi is a qualified coach, for Cao Pi, who is only eighteen years old, such an arrangement is worthy of the word genius in the eyes of anyone.

But Cao Pi himself knows that it is because of his mature mentality in two lifetimes and the careful thinking and understanding of the doctoral supervisor of the Go national player, not a precocious person, the more so, the more cautious he is in every dispatch, which also makes the army's march very smooth, in the ninth day of the discussion, Cao Jun has gone out of the Juxian Valley, came to the bank of the Daling River, thirty miles in front of them, you can see dense tents, these tents and the tents of the Central Plains army are very different in style, the style is relatively rough, Moreover, the arrangement was chaotic, and it seemed that there was no order to speak of, and there were even four camps clearly divided, and seven or eight war horses were helped by the side of each tent.

When Cao Jun appeared on the banks of the Daling River, those open tops rushed out of the hood one by one wearing animal skins, bronze helmets, and hairless places exposed outside the helmets.

These people took the war horses on the edge of the tent and rode out of the camp, in a team of ten people, slowly gathered in a flat place twenty miles away, and after a while, they gathered a cavalry on the black pressure ground, and also erected four large flags, on which strange symbols were drawn, Cao Pi couldn't understand it at all, but he also knew that it should be something similar to the Central Plains army's consumption, it was the commander's banner.

Now the two armies are facing each other like this, in fact, the grain transporter behind Cao Pi is still completely out, and the lime powder, water, and thunderbolt racks in the baggage are all being transported, if the other party boldly charges at this time, this battle will end immediately....
