Chapter 172: Slow as a Turtle
Pang Tong quickly received Cao Cao's order, and how could it not be all kinds of contemplation.
Pang Tong was naturally thinking about the authenticity of Cao Cao's troops. If it is really going south to Hanzhong, it will indeed be greatly advantageous to the war situation.
But if it is to take the opportunity to make trouble, then Xuzhou is facing a tripartite war, but it is really a bit dangerous. After all, Cao Cao had a lot of advanced weapons and equipment.
This problem was so difficult that Pang Tong had to write to Lu Bu.
Since Lu Bu can write letters, I believe he will be able to review the chapters.
And Lu Bu's reply was only five words.
"I believe in Mengde!"
After getting Lu Bu's approval, Pang Tong finally let his heart down.
In this way, he immediately telegraphed to Cao Cao, asking him to lead 100,000 iron horsemen south to Hanzhong and intercept Liu Bei's back road.
These appointments were completed in just one day. If it had been changed three years ago, it would have taken more than three months to get instructions, even if it was 800 miles expedited. Because Xuzhou to the Western Regions Governor's Mansion is nearly 10,000 miles away.
Of course, this refers to the actual route, not the straight-line distance. And it is also the distance of the Han Dynasty, not the distance of later generations.
But in any case, being able to send orders back and forth in a day over such a long distance completely subverts tradition.
What's even more unexpected is that most of the people who sent the telegram were girls.
The female soldiers created by Lu Bu are also shining.
And these female soldiers can be said to make all the male soldiers compete for protection.
One is the great importance of communication, and the other is to protect the girl.
In the barracks, they are all animals, and there are a few girls who can see it, isn't it pleasing to the eye.
Cao Cao, who received the order, immediately organized 100,000 iron cavalry and rushed back to Hanzhong.
After receiving the governor's mansion of the Western Regions, Cao Cao captured 500,000 soldiers. But it has just been laid, and it still needs all kinds of rectification and defense of soldiers and horses.
Therefore, only 100,000 iron horsemen can be summoned to help.
Similarly, Cao Cao really wanted to help Lu Bu and had no second thoughts.
Few people can experience the feeling that a headache is worse than death, and it was Lu Bu who cured his head wind. Moreover, the position of the prince of the country is as undiminished as his original power.
As long as the tide rises, it will be even more powerful in the future.
In addition, his three daughters are all in Lu Bu's harem, so Cao Cao still cares about something.
can get back the dream of his youth, Cao Cao has no regrets in this life.
So the current situation is that Bashu is still going over the mountains and mountains to transport various troops and grain, and Cao Cao's army has already gone to Hanzhong.
In the minds of the people in Bashu, it will take at least more than a year to wait for Cao Cao to get the news here, get instructions again, and come to the emergency again.
But the actual situation now is far beyond their imagination.
And when they really got the news, they don't know how long it has been.
Similarly, without wooden oxen and horses, the 200,000 troops and hundreds of thousands of people who marched from Bashu were simply miserable.
The Bashu army finally realized the consequences of the difficult road, it is good to defend, but it can be attacked, and it is also extremely depressed.
Faced with this situation, Liu Bei Zhuge Liang had to order all kinds of bridges and paving roads.
Because many supplies had to be transported on wheeled vehicles. There is no smooth road, which is simply not passable.
It is conceivable how long it takes to walk and how much food and grass it takes to walk on such a large number of soldiers and supplies on narrow and difficult paths.
It is estimated that when you get to Jingzhou, the grain and grass will be exhausted, let alone attack Xuzhou.
What's more, Bashu's are all wooden wheeled vehicles. Along the way, I don't know how many bearings have been broken, it's just all kinds of ghost fires.
Therefore, even Liu Bei was wondering if he had made a mistake in marching into Bashu.
No, no, no, how could Kong Ming be wrong. If he hadn't entered Bashu, maybe he would have been wiped out by Lu Bu's house.
Back then, Gaozu was able to achieve the foundation with Bashu, and he was a descendant of the Liu family, of course.
So the current situation is that Shu Han's army of 400,000 is divided into two forces. The 200,000 troops in Jingzhou went first, and the Bashu army could only make up for it.
This is a national battle, and if it is lost, I am afraid it will be difficult to compete with Lu Bu.
But neither Liu Bei nor Zhuge Liang felt that they would lose.
There are only a few soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, and this is a pile of people who can also be killed.
As long as Xuzhou is destroyed and the northern land is recovered, it will be easy.
You know, almost all high-tech is in Xuzhou.
Of course, the Bashu march was naturally all within the airship observation.
Seeing the speed of the Bashu army crawling like a turtle, everyone wanted to laugh.
It takes ten miles a day, and when it hits Xuzhou, I don't know if the year of the monkey has gone.
Well, provoke and provoke Liu Bei.
The airships are all kinds of paper throws, all kinds of taunts.
It's as slow as a turtle, what kind of battle are you fighting, go home and drink milk.
was ridiculed by the soldiers, Liu Bei Zhuge Liang was completely angry.
However, what can they do.
The airship followed them in the sky all day long, and they were also helpless!
They wanted to take down all the airships with anti-aircraft guns, but they couldn't!
Therefore, even if it is camping, it has to be hidden by various designs.
Because they were afraid that the airship would see the tents of the high-ranking officials of Shu Han, and then drop a few bombs down.
Fortunately, the airship just kept floating in the sky, and didn't drop bombs or anything.
But they didn't throw bombs, but they just threw and urine. It's like being able to on your girl at any time.
This is more humiliating than dropping a bomb, but to deal with an airship, you can only use an airship in the same way.
As for Bashu's "airship", forget it, don't mention it.
When the wind blows slightly, I don't know where it has gone, and I still fly a yarn!
In order to build airships, Bashu invested too much manpower and material resources and sacrificed many people. As a result, compared with Lu Bu, it was completely ridiculously bad.
Even Liu Bei couldn't resist the pressure, so he had to reduce his investment and study slowly.
And even the investment has been reduced, and with Bashu's technology, what can be studied.
Similarly, although Sun Quan's army was assembled, it did not start the war easily.
It's very simple, Liu Bei's pit didn't arrive for half a day, he went up alone to take the lead, didn't he look for death.
Sun Quan scolded Liu Bei's eight ancestors a hundred times, and said that he would gank Lu Bu together, but you didn't arrive for half a day.
Let Lao Tzu's army wait by the river, do you know how much grain and grass Lao Tzu consumes every day!
In the past few days, even the fish in the canal have been almost caught.
Similarly, what annoyed Sun Quan even more was that there were airships watching them in the sky at any time.
Even if they are flattering, they can see clearly with binoculars.
Damn, who can stand this feeling of being stripped naked and being looked at.
couldn't stand it anymore, Sun Quan immediately sent a message to Guan Yu in Jingzhou.
If there is no more war, Lao Tzu will go back.
As for Guan Yu, he is still entangled in Shabu now.
Although he still controls Jingzhou, he can no longer go to the battlefield.
The one in charge of Jingzhou's soldiers and horses this time was Zhang Fei.
Of course, although Zhang Fei is the main general, this girl has a violent temper, so Liu Bei sent Wenchen to temper him.
The one who came was none other than Fa Zheng.
After Fa Zheng received Sun Quan's letter, he also frowned.
Waiting like this is really not the way to go.
He came by boat, and of course it was fast.
And when the Bashu army arrived, I didn't know that I was going to go to the Year of the Monkey.
So Fa Zheng decided to go to war.
This is the so-called, the general will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected.
Because it's very simple, I don't know how long it will take to send the message to Liu Bei.
The fighter plane could not afford to lose, so Fa Zheng could not wait, and directly ordered the Jingzhou army to go straight to Xuzhou.
Zhang Fei is also an anxious person, and he completely raised his hands in approval, this time, he wants to kill Hua Guo without leaving a piece of armor.
Avenge his second brother and be ashamed of his eldest brother.
Thus, the vigorous war began.
