The army has always been slower than the navy.

Lin Bei waited outside Beidai County until the sunset on the second day before he saw the vanguard of the Yellow Turban come into view.

The Yellow Turban Army set up camp outside Beidai County, buried stoves for cooking, and passed the scope of these camps, and compared with the size of the range when the township was camped, Lin Bei could calculate that the number of these Yellow Turbans was about 60,000.

"Sixty thousand yellow turbans, plus the yellow turbans stationed at Yanzikou, I'm afraid that the military strength of the barbarian city is already out of the nest, but I don't know if the big barbarian is here."

The tents of the whole camp are distributed in the shape of plum blossoms, and on the periphery of the camp, the yellow turbans put some horses with horse guns, although the northern county is considered the territory of the yellow turbans, but these yellow turbans are also very vigilant, or the commander of the 60,000 yellow turbans is very vigilant.

The yellow turban camped for nearly an hour, and then it took another hour to cook and eat, after they finished eating, the camp slowly returned to calm, it should be ready to rest here for a night, tomorrow to hurry, Lin Bei also yawned, ready to sleep, and set off tomorrow.

However, after midnight, the sound of hurried horses' hooves woke Lin Bei up, and when he stood up, the city gate of Beidai County was wide open, and the sentry rode into the camp quickly, and went straight to the camp's handsome tent.

"The situation on the front line has changed."

Sure enough, with the urgent report into the commander's tent, the camp began to light torches, blow horns, and the officers entered the tent next to each other, waking the sergeants from their dreams, packing up their armaments, and having the intention of hurrying all night.

"The front line is really tight, maybe the official army has already defeated the yellow turban of Yanzikou."

The Yellow Turban set off overnight, and the long line passed through Guò Beidai County and headed north, Lin Bei kept watching the Yellow Turban walk away, and just wanted to follow. Another convoy drove out of the city, this time not a sergeant, but a number of civilians, including some old men and children.

"What is this??" Lin Bei was puzzled, looking at the things they were escorting, and suddenly became stunned. "It's a baggage."

In this era, the importance of grain and grass supply, soldiers have to eat enough to fight, this baggage team was originally ready to start tomorrow morning, but the military situation has changed, so it also set off overnight with the Yellow Turban Army.

Lin Bei has seen the baggage team in the township, and there are not many baggage teams in the township. Because many things were brought by the common people, but there were many of them, and there were thousands of wagons, and there were five or six hundred ox carts, and there were even sheep carts, which were full of grain, and were packed in sacks, and the sergeants and common people who escorted the baggage shouted cattle, horses, and sheep. Moving slowly, the line stretched longer. It stretches for dozens of miles.

Thinking about the sergeants in the past just now, just look at these burdens, Lin Beixin said that fighting in ancient times was really a waste of money and labor, especially a big battle, no wonder Cao Mengde couldn't slow down for several years after losing the Battle of Chibi, and now the food escorted seems to be a lot. But Lin Bei is sure that there will be more in the future, otherwise these grains will be eaten in a day or two.

In addition, seeing the slow speed of the baggage team, Lin Bei thought to himself that the road was not good in this era. Look, another carriage has fallen into a pit, and it takes a number of sergeants to lift the wagon up and move on, and a carriage into the pit will be delayed for at least a few minutes, and the military situation is like fire, maybe because of a few minutes, the sergeant can't eat, and the war is lost.

"If you want to get rich, you must build roads first, and you have to build roads first to fight a war, but it is strange that in ancient times, when those barbarians rebelled, there were obviously not many of them, but Huaxia was not extinguished, and the reason for this is probably because of the problem of the road, the soldiers can't pass, and the baggage can't pass that and make a wool, which is like modern, even if you run into the Amazon forest, you can find out, the mobility of modern weapons is too high.

With these things in mind, Lin Bei crossed the baggage team and followed the Yellow Turban troops in front.

In fact, Lin Bei thought about whether to attack this baggage team just now, but in the end he still didn't act, now he and the big barbarian are standing in the same direction, and they need to fight against the official army together, the official army is the current big enemy, the big barbarian does not kill Lin Bei and then fast, but the official army is, in addition, Lin Bei has to let the big barbarian consume the military strength of the official army, so if necessary, Lin Bei will even help the big barbarian.

Because of the urgency of the military situation, the speed of the yellow scarves was significantly accelerated, after dawn the yellow scarves just rested in place, drank water and ate dry food and then set off again, until the evening did not stop, but also had to stop, this day in the middle of the night, the yellow scarves at least more than 150 miles.

The next day, the yellow scarf set off, and it was another day of intense travel, and so on, and so on, and it took three days in a row, and finally slowed down, and the swallow's mouth was almost there.

According to the information given by Bian Ji, the location of Yanzikou is probably the intersection of Dali, Guizhou and Shu provinces in the later generations, Lin Bei does not know much about that area, and even what mountains there are in Shu are not very clear, only know a Qinling, but it is definitely not Qinling.

But then, Lin Bei knew where it was, because Bian Ji told Lin Bei, there is a very famous ancient road there, called 'Shu Body Poison Road', just Lin Bei knows this ancient road, this ancient road can also be called the Silk Road, but it is not the one in people's impressions.

In fact, there are several Silk Road, the ancient road of Shu body poison road was developed earlier than the most famous silk road, body poison is the name of ancient India Ah San, this road is very vivid, it is the road from Shu to India.

Therefore, Lin Bei knew which mountain range this place belonged to, this is the Hengduan Mountains, and Yanzikou is in the Hengduan Mountains.

After knowing the approximate location of the swallow's mouth, Lin Bei knew the importance of the location of the swallow's mouth, the mountains of the Hengduan Mountain Range are quite high, about five thousand meters or so, the ancients built the Shu Road around the mountain, the swallow's mouth guarded one of them, it is an extremely dangerous checkpoint, Bian Ji once said, if the yellow turban does not take the initiative to attack, only need to send tens of thousands, it can be like the male pass tiger prison, so that the swallow's mouth is stable into Mount Tai, but according to the character of the big barbarian, this possibility is not large.

At this time, although the Yellow Turban rushed to the vicinity of Yanzikou, it still needs to be close to the mountain, the road here has been paved, forming an official road several zhang wide, which should be built by the Great Barbarian, the Yellow Turban rested for a night and began to march towards the mountain.

One into the mountains. You can find the treacherous nature of the Hengduan Mountains, the road is winding mountain road, and there are cliffs on both sides, this kind of road is not conducive to cavalry charging at all, and even the infantry does not want to gather into a large army formation, and after a day of rapid travel. Lin Bei saw the swallow mouth.

Lin Bei no longer followed the Yellow Turban at this time, but found a direction to climb the surrounding mountains, condescendingly looked down, he found that the swallow's mouth is really worthy of its name, like a swallow with two wings open, the left wing is built on this side of a male pass, the city wall is barged, obviously built for a long time, and over there. It is a large area of flat land, stationed in the camp tents of the officers and soldiers, the military flag is beautiful, Lin Bei took a look, and saw the words on the flag, there are Lu, Ding, and Cao. There is also a name Xu, obviously. Lu is Lu Zhi, Ding is Ding Yuan, Cao is naturally Cao Mengde, but Xu doesn't know who it is, it may be the general of Yizhou.

In addition to the flags of those who are the lords of armies, there are other flags. This is mostly the military flag of the backbone of the army, Lin Bei looked at Ding Yuan's army, and found a Lu character among the many military flags, Lin Bei stretched his neck long, and he didn't see if there was Lu Bu in it. Then he looked at Lu Zhi's military formation, but found that there was no military flag with the name 'Liu'.

"Didn't Liu Bei follow Lu Zhi here? Or with Liu Bei's current qualifications, he does not have the ability to use the military flag, after all, he has not formed an army of his own. ”

Looking at Brother Cao Mengde again, the military formation of the founder of the later Cao Wei regime was obviously a little shabby, and there were very few military flags, but Lin Bei actually looked at the 'summer wait', and Lin Bei was startled at that time.

"This Xia Hou can't be Xia Hou Yuan, right? It seems that Xia Houyuan should not have followed Cao Mengde at this time, but if it wasn't for this Xia Hou, who would it be? There is no more famous Xia Hou family in the Eastern Han Dynasty. ”

If this Xia Hou is Xia Houyuan, then it is natural that Cao Mengde will reuse it, the Cao family and the Xia Hou family are generations of in-laws, the relationship is quite close, and they belong to their own people, and Xia Houyuan himself is also a famous general, with courage and strategy, and is a rare talent.

In fact, Cao Mengde's luck is really good, although the two families are not conspicuous at the moment, but the Cao family and the Xia Hou family belong to the kind of family that has many famous generals, the Xia Hou family has Xia Houyuan and Xia Houdun, and the Cao family has more, Cao Ren, Cao Xiu, Cao Chun, Cao Zhen, Cao Hong, each of them can be used, and each of them can stand alone, on the other hand, other families, there are talents, but they are all one or two, Cao Mengde has these own people to help, coupled with his own strength, it is natural to achieve hegemony.

Lin Bei looked at the battlefield, obviously Yanzikou has gone through several battles, the blood stains on the city wall and the ground are still left, and then from the Yellow Turban Turtle to the pass, and the official army camped outside the pass, you can know that the Yellow Turban should be defeated, but it is not strange that the defeat is not surprising, Lu, Ding, Cao are all powerful, although the big barbarian is also powerful, but unfortunately there are too few capable people, it is really incomparable, and don't look at the Yellow Turban There are many people, but the official army is more elite, but fortunately, Yanzikou has not been broken, which is a good thing for Lin Bei.

After watching for a while, the officers and soldiers came out and rode to the far side of the wall of Yanzikou, shouting towards the pass, Lin Beixin said that this should be a battle, that is, heads-up, and suddenly became interested.

Many modern people think it is incredible that they like to fight before the war in ancient times, how good it is to shoot arrows directly, but unfortunately this is an ancient time that pays attention to benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and faith, except for some really despicable and shameless generals, few people dare to do this, and even some people come to fight, even if the weak side has to come out to fight, even if it is a death in battle, this status quo also makes some people with high military value famous in a war, Liu Guanzhang is like this, Sanying fought Lu Bu in the tiger prison, because of Lu Bu's fame at that time, so it also achieved Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Lin Bei thought that the yellow scarf had to be single-handed, but the facts were often unexpected, Lin Bei saw a team of sergeants coming on the city wall of Yanzikou, and struck a few gongs with a bell, and then, a sign was hung on a piece of wood on the wall, Lin Bei had a good look and could see it, and the sign read: Exemption from war.

"Is this a no-war card?" Lin Bei was stunned, he didn't expect to see this kind of thing, but he was very skeptical, is this brand useful?

Sure enough, the officers and soldiers began to scold, not one person was scolding, almost all the officers and soldiers were scolding, what was as timid as a mouse, what turtles shrank inside and did not dare to come out, but after scolding for a few quarters of an hour, the officers and soldiers blew the horn, and the officers and soldiers returned to their respective camps, and they really stopped fighting.

"Rub, these people are so particular about fighting?" Lin Bei burst into foul language. (To be continued......)
