Chapter 966: Guan Yu's Dilemma
There are no Shuzhong people here, and it is impossible for them, the Central Plains people, to feel sorry for the Shuzhong family, with this mentality of 'other people's children will never die', Xiahoudun and others became relaxed at once.
After setting a big strategic policy, Xiahoudun immediately found someone from a big family in Qianwei County to convey the meaning of the army.
Of course, the statement must be changed, and the meaning has become that on the premise of not being able to reach the CD first, we must first ensure the safety of Qianwei County, ensure the safety of the Qianwei County family, and on this basis, advance towards the CD step by step, and maximize the results of the battle.
In this regard, the local family of Qianwei County expressed their very welcome, and praised Xiahoudun as worthy of being the first general of the Cao army.
And the family of Shu County can only be dumb and can't say that there is a bitterness in eating Coptis chinensis, no matter how anxious they are, they can't let Cao Jun fly directly to the CD, and they can only admit it when they lose the opportunity.
Fortunately, there are not many families in Shu County, and during Liu Yan's reign, in order to strengthen the rule of the central government, Liu Yan has been sparing no effort to suppress the Shu County family, raising the power of the Dongzhou faction in Shu County, causing a large number of Shu County families to move to other counties, which has formed a situation of equal strength near the CD.
Now it seems that it's not all bad, at least I'm not afraid of being served by Wang Xuan.
After the incorporation of the Yizhou army of Qianwei County, the army has expanded to about 120,000 people, Xiahoudun at this time divided the troops into two ways, one was personally led by him, continued to march towards the CD, and with the help of the local family, along the Yangtze River tributaries of Jianyang, Ziyang, Zizhong, Han'an several cities to arrange defense lines, the other under the leadership of Li Tong, along another Yangtze River tributary, that is, the Min River upstream, in Yibin, Qianwei, Nan'an (Leshan), Wuyang area to establish a defense line.
Vows to turn a blitzkrieg into a bad battle!
……
Unlike Wang Xuan's side, which was like a bamboo, approaching the CD without hindrance, Guan Yu, who took the eastern route, encountered too many difficulties along the way.
As soon as you enter Ba County, you can clearly feel the disgust of Yizhou people, all of which is of course due to the operation of the local family in Yizhou.
"Why did the army stop!" Guan Yu asked with a calm face.
"Report to the prince, a big pit has been dug in the mountain road ahead, and the army cannot pass."
"Huh?" Guan Yu frowned, signaling the herald to lead the way.
In the middle of the sound, Guan Yu looked at the front of him as deep as no more than one meter, but he had dug off a section of road that was more than four meters long, and the corners of his eyebrows kept beating.
"Build the road as soon as possible to ensure the speed of the army's advance!" After saying just one word, Guan Yu turned his head and left.
In fact, it doesn't matter if it's just a big pit, it's not too big a problem if you simply march, but for logistics, it's a disaster, and you don't have to think about it at all for large four-wheeled vehicles, the problem is that now small carriages can't pass, even if you take out the 'wheelbarrow' designed by Wang Xuan, you can't do anything in the face of that big pit.
The road must be filled.
It is easy to destroy and difficult to build, it is not difficult to knock on the surrounding rocks to fill the road, but it is difficult to fill the road flat enough, and those people can easily destroy it, and it will be extremely difficult for the army to repair it again.
As a result, the speed of the march of the army became difficult, and from the discovery of the first road that had been cut off, four more were discovered in succession, and as a result, the speed of the march had changed from sixty to ten miles in a whole day......
The slower the march, the greater the logistical pressure, which has a ripple effect.
"How about letting you go to the surrounding villages to buy grain?" Jia Xu, who was sitting next to Guan Yu, saw that Guan Yu's face was ugly, so he asked.
"Repay the prince, I didn't buy it." Liao Hua's face is not good-looking, this little thing has not been completed, it is strange that his face can be good.
"Why?" Guan Yu squinted at Liao Hua.
"The gates of those villages are closed, but they are not sold, even if the lower officials bid twice or three times."
Hearing Liao Hua say this, several people knew that this was obviously not a matter of money, but someone who was making trouble and deliberately did not sell it.
"I think the people who dug up the road were the ones from these nearby villages who did it!" Gan Ning had a hot temper and roared directly, "If you want me to say, just hit the door and slaughter them all, and save money to buy food!" ”
He's angry again.
"I'll see it!" Jia Xu nodded in agreement, and stretched out his hand to signal to Gan Ning, "This task will be handed over to General Gan, if you want to come, you will definitely succeed immediately, and kill them without leaving a piece of armor." ”
"Uh...... Hehe, hehe, I'll just talk about it. Gan Ning touched his nose and decisively confessed.
If you change to other armies, it is a big deal to directly kill people and steal food, but the problem is that Wang Xuan's requirements for military discipline from the beginning are extremely strict, coupled with the ideological education and propaganda of the instructors day by day, it is impossible to do this kind of thing to attack the people no matter what.
"The army continues to advance." Guan Yu simply instructed that it was useless to find those villages, and he knew this in his heart.
……
There was a sudden commotion in the army, and bursts of shouts sounded, Guan Yu's brows furrowed, the recent difficulties in the march had made him extremely depressed, and at this moment, there was such a situation, which made Guan Yu's face pale.
After a while, the pro-soldiers who went to check the situation returned, "Report to the prince, something happened, and the person in charge of logistics prevented everyone from drinking water, saying that they found a problem with the water source." ”
Guan Yuhuo stood up, his expression suddenly became solemn, and he called out to Jia Xu Ganning, and the three of them followed the logistics people all the way to the upstream of the water source.
"Prince, please see, a large number of human and animal carcasses are soaked in the water, and the water source here has been polluted, and drinking it may be infected with the plague." The person in charge of logistics pointed to the white, swollen corpse in the army.
"It's so cruel!" Gan Ning gritted his back molars and squeezed out these words from between his teeth, and Guan Yu was already angry and green all over.
"Re-search for clean water." Jia Xu shook his head and ordered, and called Guan Yu Gan Ning to return directly.
Now that it's come to this, there's no use getting angry.
Fortunately, the military drill manual has strict drinking water testing requirements, so I didn't get hit.
……
Ba County, Xuanhan.
In the backyard of the government in the city, Guan Yu, Gan Ning, and Jia Xu sat opposite each other, and no one spoke quietly in the house, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
The army was exhausted by tossing, not tired, but angry...... At least, before coming up with a solution strategy, the army will not be able to advance at all, Wang Xuan's military system is good anywhere, the only problem is that it relies too much on logistics!
In fact, the three of them all know that the solution to the problem is very simple, Wang Xuan has already done too many demonstrations, one word - kill!
Kill all the gentry in these places, and everything will be solved.
The problem is that this kind of thing is really not something that anyone dares to do.
If you say that you will slaughter the city and kill all the people in a city, there are many people who dare to do this kind of thing, after all, it is the people who die, although they will be criticized to a certain extent, but forbearance will also pass, and no one will always remember this kind of 'little thing'.
But if it is a slaughter of local gentry and a few celebrities, then I'm sorry, if you don't record your 'cruelty and tyranny' in the history books, completely ruin the reputation of your entire family, so that people from a thousand years later can remember, then it's strange!
Among them, if you use some Spring and Autumn brushwork, it really can't be turned over for thousands of years.
The most typical is Qin Shi Huang's 'book burning and pit Confucianism'.
Even if you don't mention it far, how long has Cao Cao killed Bian Rang a few years ago, if it weren't for Liu Bei who happened to destroy Yuan Shao at that time, causing turmoil in the world, and Cao Cao became the only backer of the family, Cao Cao would have been very passive.
In the official history, Chen Gong Zhang Miao rebelled and led Lu Bu into Yanzhou, which almost made Cao Cao completely cold.
That's why Guan Yu, Gan Ning, and Jia Xu are so embarrassed now.
What's more, as Liu Bei's momentum gets better and better year by year, Guan Yu's status has also become in the ascendant, and with Guan Yu's character of cherishing feathers, it is impossible to do such a thing.
"In this matter, let's ask the national teacher." After Jia Xu finished speaking, seeing that Guan Yu's expression did not change, he got up and went out in a funny way.
When he went out, Jia Xu rolled his eyes, and he didn't support or oppose it without expression, in other words, he supported it.
It's really tiring to give a hand to this kind of tsundere, Jia Xu complained in his heart.
……
And at this moment, Wang Xuan has already passed Mianzhu and arrived at the salary capital, and the next step is CD.
In other words, they are also welcomed by the natives of the state, in Guan Yu's eastern front, under the leadership of the local wealthy family, the noisy Guan Yu is struggling, but Wang Xuan has not been troubled from beginning to end.
The cities surrendered after the slightest resistance, and after the occupation of the cities, there was no unrest, and there was no resistance to any policy that was strangely enforced, and there was no such thing as non-violent non-cooperation.
The degree of cooperation is so high that it is still better than Hebei, so that Wang Xuan, who has been preparing to take the opportunity to 'go crazy', has not been able to make a move, and he is a little uncomfortable.
In CD City, seeing that Wang Xuan was about to arrive with a large army, and Cao Jun would definitely not be able to catch up with the progress, the families of the Yizhou local faction began to relocate on a large scale.
It doesn't matter if you go to a place or go back to your hometown, anyway, the current CD is a place where you can't stay for a long time.
Although Wang Xuan has not yet started killing after entering Shuzhong, the ghost knows what he will do in the future.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
