"General, the water is coming."

A personal soldier carried a gourd of water and ran to Pan Zhang.

Pan Zhang bit a piece of dry and hard ice, and poured a large mouthful of water into the mouth of the gourd, but as soon as the water entered his mouth, he immediately let Pan Zhang spit it out again, and then glared at the pro-soldier and scolded: "Ah Wu, why does this water smell of mud?" You kid can't find a gourd of clean mountain spring water? ”

Ah Wu said with a bitter face: "General, the villain is really useless, it rained heavily last night, and all the streams in this spring mountain are dim, and the villain ran for more than ten miles to find this still clear mountain spring water, general, the villain really can't find clearer mountain spring water." ”

Pan Zhang sighed, the days in this mountain are really difficult.

In this Dabie Mountain, there are mountain springs and streams everywhere, but people just can't drink a sip of clear spring water, who will believe it?

The difficulty of drinking water is still secondary, the key is that there are too many mosquitoes and flies in the mountains, when it gets dark, it is really a black and black swoop, do not hide in the tent or take a military blanket to wrap yourself tightly, you don't want to sleep at all, if it is still a hot summer, who can stand it in the tent for a long time?

Pan Zhang has grown so big, and he really hasn't suffered so much.

After barely swallowing two wheat cakes in the turbid Shuiquan Mountain, Pan Zhang threw the gourd to Ah Wu again, then turned over and fell to the ground, and said to himself with annoyance: "Straight lady thief, when will such a hard life be a head?" ”

However, when Pan Zhang's voice fell, Ah Wu pointed to a peak in the distance and shouted: "General, wolf smoke!" ”

"Huh?" Pan Zhang turned over and sat up when he heard this, and then put his hand on the canopy and looked in the direction of Ah Wu's fingers. Sure enough, I saw the top of the mountain where there was nothing in the first place. There were already several puffs of wolf smoke. Pan Zhang counted them, and there were a total of five puffs of wolf smoke, which were spread out from left to right, and the distance between the second puff of wolf smoke and the third puff of wolf smoke was significantly larger.

Ah Wu looked at Pan Zhang with a look of hope on his face, and asked him, "General, what order did the governor order?" ”

After seeing the wolf smoke on the top of the mountain clearly, Pan Zhang's face had already collapsed, and his face was black. Angry, he said to his own soldier Ah Wu: "This military order from the governor is given to Jiang Qin, ordering Jiang Qin to lead his troops to rush to the northeast for two hundred miles, and wait for further military orders from the governor after arriving at the ground." ”

Ah Wu said without squinting: "General, you are really powerful, this is just four wolf smokes, how can you read so many meanings from it?" ”

Pan Zhang snorted and ignored Ah Wu.

This wolf smoke herald method was taught by Zhou Yu.

Because it was inconvenient to convey military orders in the mountains, before Jiang Qin, Pan Zhang and other eight generals set out, Zhou Yu taught them a set of special methods. During the day through the wolf smoke, and at night through the beacon fire. Simple military orders can be conveyed to the designated generals in the shortest possible time.

Zhou Yu's set of communication methods is actually a simple permutation and combination method.

For example, the first two puffs of wolf smoke, through the different arrangements at the three points, can produce eight different combinations, if "A" represents the ignition of wolf smoke, and "B" represents not ignition, these eight results are: A A A, A A B, A B A, A B B, B.

At this moment, the beacon that Pan Zhang saw, the three points in front of it were the combination of A, A, and B.

Before leaving, Zhou Yu had already given the combination of A, Jia and B to Jiang Qin's department, so this order was given to Jiang Qin's department, and his Pan Zhang's combination was Jiajia and Jiajia, which were three piles of beacon fire! So we still have to wait, continue to wait.

It was a whole day, until it was completely dark, and Pan Zhang was about to raise the fire to make food, when a beacon fire suddenly ignited on the mountain peak in the distance.

"General, there's a beacon!" Ah Wu shouted again.

When Pan Zhang looked up anxiously, he saw that there were six piles of beacon fires burning on the high mountain used for communication, and the three piles of beacon fires in front of him were still next to each other at equal distances.

The permutations and combinations of the four points are very complicated, at least Pan Zhang can't remember so much.

At that moment, Pan Zhang took out a red bag from his arms, and took out a silk book from the bag, and then asked Ah Wu to take a torch, and when he saw the fire, he immediately found the corresponding text: receive the order, rush to the southeast for two hundred miles, and after reaching the land, if there is a pass nearby, occupy the pass, if there is no pass, wait for further military orders.

"Haha, straight thief, it's finally our turn!" Pan Zhang carefully put away the bag, pulled out the ring head knife, and led the knife to howl sharply: "Pass my order, assemble, and assemble the whole army......

(Dividing Line)

Deep in the mountains and old forests, three thousand Yuan troops were marching in a hurry.

Just five days ago, under the guidance of Ding Feng and more than a dozen hunters, Yuan Jun passed through the deep mountains and dense forests that could only be walked by a single horse, and arrived at Luojiawan smoothly.

After seizing the Luojiawan Pass, Yuan's army rushed north without stopping.

However, at this time, an unexpected situation suddenly appeared.

The sharp-eyed Ding Feng inadvertently discovered that there were several puffs of wolf smoke rising from a high mountain in the distance!

From that time on, the wolf smoke during the day and the beacon fire at night always accompanied them, and wherever they went, the wolf smoke or beacon fire followed.

Yuan Fu also thought about sending troops up the mountain to destroy the beacon tower of the Jiangdong Army.

But in the end, Yuan Wei still gave up this unrealistic idea.

Because the beacon tower of the Jiangdong army is built on the highest mountain more than ten miles away, this is not only for a good vision, but also to prevent Yuan Jun from going up the mountain to make trouble, if Yuan Jun is really ruthless, it is not difficult to destroy the beacon tower on the mountain, but it takes a lot of time, and what Yuan Jun lacks most now is time, how dare he delay too much in one place?

Therefore, Yuan could only order to march at full speed.

Although your Zhou Yu's beacon fire and wolf smoke transmission are fast, it always takes time for the army to move, right? As long as my march is fast enough to break out of your encirclement before your Jiangdong Army can make adjustments, what can you do to me? Therefore, Yuan ordered the whole army to keep only ten days' rations, throw away all the baggage, and the whole army marched lightly.

Unfortunately, however, the ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny.

"Childe, look, wolf smoke, wolf smoke again!" During the rapid march, Ding Feng suddenly pointed to a high mountain in front of him on the left and shouted again.

Yuan Fu, Liu Ye, Yang Hong, Gan Ning, Ji Ling and others looked in the direction of Ding Feng's finger, and sure enough, they saw that on the top of the big mountain where superconductivity was burning before, wolf smoke was burning again.

Yuan Wei frowned unconsciously, and asked Liu Ye, "Ziyang, what day is it this time?" ”

Liu Ye also frowned deeply, and said to Yuan Wei: "Childe, today is the sixth day. ”

"Day six?" The uneasiness in Yuan Fu's heart became more and more intense, and for six consecutive days, there were always wolf smoke or beacon flames following them like a shadow, and anyone would be under huge psychological pressure.

Yuan Wei faintly felt that he was afraid that he would fall into Zhou Yu's calculations again.

Sure enough, Yuan Nuo's side had just sensed it, and Xu Sheng rode his horse galloping from the front, and he was far away, so that he could report to Yuan Nuo on horseback: "Childe, the Jiangdong Army has been found at the pass ahead!" ”

Yuan Di's heart jumped, and he asked Xu Sheng urgently: "How many Jiangdong troops are there?" ”

"At least five hundred." While speaking, Xu Sheng had already ridden his horse in front of Yuan No, first waved at Yuan No, and then gasped and reported, "Maybe more, right now, the Jiangdong Army is rushing to repair the camp fortifications at the pass, and it seems that they are ready to hold on, the only thing to be thankful for is that the Jiangdong Army's camp fortifications have not yet been repaired." ”

"Attack, attack now, take the pass!" Yuan Wei said without thinking.

"No!" Xu Sheng gave up his hand again and took the order, and then there was a tidal wave of killing sound in front of him.

After more than two hours, Yuan Wei finally set foot on the pass with an army of 3,000 troops, which was a pass sandwiched between two mountains, and the terrain was extremely dangerous, that is, the Yuan army came in time, and the Jiangdong army had not yet built a strong camp, otherwise, with a strong camp fortification, the Jiangdong army could block them for at least three days!

When three days passed, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's army was afraid that it would arrive early!

At that time, this pass will be the place of his death. (To be continued......)
