Chapter 265: Ruthless Decision
"General, the back road is cut off, there is no way!"
"General, the back road is cut off, there is no way!"
β¦β¦
The shouting came to Zhang Fei over and over again, and Zhang Fei was directly stupid.
Lying in the groove, there is no way in front and back, then they are not waiting for death in this plank road.
In an instant, all the Shu troops panicked.
This person panicked, and that was the most likely to mutiny.
"Shut up, shut up for me!" Zhang Fei pulled out the fire gun and fired two shots into the sky, and roared sharply.
Zhang Fei's domineering spirit was still there, and the nearby soldiers were quiet.
As for the distant ones, Zhang Fei couldn't manage them even if he wanted to.
The plank road is so narrow, even if it is a team of 5,000 people, it is several miles long.
Zhang Fei looked upward, there was absolutely no way to go to heaven.
Facing down, it is a precipice that is extremely steep. Whether there is a way out or not is still unknown.
In the end, Zhang Fei pulled the hemp rope used as a guardrail.
Although it has been stormy for several years, there is still a lot of resilience.
"Order, collect hemp rope and go down the cliff!"
This is the only way Zhang Fei can think of, and continuing here will only sit still.
After descending the cliff, there is still a glimmer of hope.
Even if there is no road, a road must be cut.
And in addition to rations, many baggage weights had to be thrown away.
Similarly, Zhang Wei could not stop the Han army from descending the cliff.
Because they can't stop it.
Their task is to intercept the Shu army.
As for this plank road, it will be ruined.
Because above the plank road, the construction of the ring road has begun.
As long as the highway is opened in the future, the army can go straight to Shu County.
After so many years of development, Hanzhong County has long been extended in all directions. Although it is not a cement or asphalt hardened road, the road is already fairly flat enough for wheels to transport.
This time, in order to give Lu Bu enough blows, Liu Bei also drove the expedition himself.
Only by driving the expedition can we boost enough morale.
There was no reply from Zhang Fei for half a day, and Liu Bei was naturally anxious.
There is no way, Shu Han's communication is still stuck in the previous era.
There is no more advanced method than using a messenger to communicate.
Unable to wait for a reply, Liu Bei could only send another army of soldiers and horses to explore the way.
It was Liao Hua who was exploring the way, and when Liao Hua arrived at the plank road, he saw only the plank road that was blown up halfway.
Looking around, except for some baggage in the distance, there is no one who can see it.
It's over, it's over.
On such a narrow plank road, no amount of soldiers is useless.
In desperation, Liao Hua could only report the situation.
Hearing that Zhang Fei's life and death were uncertain, Liu Bei almost didn't take a breath.
After relieving himself, he suddenly howled and cried: "Third brother, third brother! β
"Your Majesty, don't worry, General Zhang is a good person, and it will be fine!"
"Yes, since I haven't seen the corpse, I guess General Zhang must be looking for another way out, Your Majesty must take care of the dragon's body, don't panic!"
"Your Majesty's condolences!"
β¦β¦
The ministers admonished one after another, and Liu Bei stopped crying.
For the guy who shouted His Majesty's condolences, Liu Bei couldn't help but glance at it coldly.
Mourn, mourn your sister!
Can't speak!
The military general who said the wrong thing also lowered his head in shame, and wanted to say something to comfort Liu Bei, but he wanted to say something wrong.
He hadn't read much, so he would be okay with these few common words.
provoked Liu Bei, and he would definitely be put in small shoes in the future.
Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, this is the principle.
Really.
After Liu Bei stopped crying, he also shouted: "The Northern Expedition cannot be interrupted, since this road is impassable, then take a detour." Liaohua! β
"The last general!" Liao Hua is out of the ranks.
"Order you to lead three thousand pioneers to turn to Yinping to explore the way, and report the military situation every two hours!"
"No!"
"Thunder Copper!"
"The last general!" Lei Tong, who said the wrong thing, was panicked.
"I order you to lead two thousand pioneers to make a detour to Brazil to explore the way, and report the military situation every two hours!"
"No!" Lei Tong complained bitterly in his heart, he was also a pioneer, Liao Hua gave 3,000 soldiers, and he only had 2,000 soldiers.
This treatment is really a step worse.
Lei Tong was originally Liu Zhang's general, and after Liu Zhang surrendered to Liu Bei, he was under Liu Bei again. Historically, he also died in the Battle of Hanzhong.
In order to win over people's hearts, some generals Liu Bei will definitely be reused, and a small shrimp like Lei Tong will naturally not pay too much attention to it.
Being able to serve as a vanguard for 2,000 soldiers and horses is already a great favor.
Of course, being a pioneer also often means sending you to death, and it all depends on your luck.
And the pioneer also bears the responsibility of building bridges and paving roads, which can be described as a bitter force.
There is no way, before the road is discovered, Liu Bei's army no longer dares to move.
With Zhang Fei's 5,000 soldiers and horses, the 100,000 army has been divided into 10,000.
The remaining 90,000 troops and a group of people can only stay in the Sword Pavilion.
And the time is just in time for the hottest summer of the year.
Not to mention the drought in the north, even in the south, it has not rained for a long time.
The good thing in the south is that the water source is more abundant.
But this is also relative, the place that should be arid is still dry to death.
Hot, scorching hot.
Especially when there are many people, it feels even hotter.
And summer is also the time when plagues are most frequent.
After enduring hardships, Liu Bei also strictly required the Shu Han soldiers to do a good job of hygiene.
And Lu Bu's focus is still on disaster relief.
It's just that there is no need for Lu Bu to go to the front line to help the disaster in person.
He has already set an example, and the hundred officials should naturally understand how to do it.
The emperor is on the front line, and the officials still don't know how to do their best to rescue the disaster, isn't it looking for death.
Let Lu Tianlong go with him, but also let Lu Tianlong understand the true people's feelings.
If you don't understand folk truth, you will always be blind just by looking at the twists and turns.
As a ruler, if there is no help for the people when they are in trouble, why should the people be grateful and then collect taxes.
In fact, it is not difficult to be an emperor, as long as you ensure that the people under your rule have food, clothing, and housing, you are already qualified.
If you can enrich your spiritual needs on top of the material foundation and make them richer, you will be a good emperor.
This is Lu Bu's goal for Lu Tianlong, and anything else is particularly false.
On the one hand, it is a disaster, and on the other hand, it is the military situation of Liu Bei's army attacking Hanzhong.
Coupled with the Xiongnu rebellion, etc., Lu Bu was very annoyed.
Since Liu Bei can send Zhang Fei to bewitch Cao Cao, the Hun rebellion is afraid that Liu Bei also has the means.
Although LΓΌ Bu pacified the Xiongnu, the death of so many people was also a huge loss to him.
Population is productivity, and with the consumption of so many thermal weapons and armaments, this loss is not half a star.
As soon as he thought of this, Lu Bu couldn't help but be angry.
Since Liu Bei doesn't want to live, then fulfill you.
After looking at the map of Hanzhong and learning where Liu Bei's army was, Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief, and finally made a ruthless decision.
"Zhongqing's family, what month is it now, what is the weather like in Hanzhong?" Lu Bu asked in a deep voice.
Pang Tongyi paid close attention to the military situation in Hanzhong and took the lead in replying: "Back to the emperor, Hanzhong is also a hot place, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large. Now the country is dry, and there is no rain. The area around the Sword Pavilion is also very hot. β
Lu Bu nodded: "It's very hot, how can the army march?" β
"This!" Pang Tong froze for a moment.
Lu Bu continued: "If the sun is in the sky, how can people escape the heat? β
Pang Tong thought for a while: "It must be looking for shady places such as mountains and forests to escape the heat." β
Lu Bu nodded again: "If the army is in the mountains and forests, what method can be used to wipe it out?" β
Pang Tong was shocked instantly, and his whole body trembled.
