Chapter 336: Open the road in the mountains and build a bridge in the water
Stone.
Wuhuan barracks.
Sitting on the high hall, while drinking mare's milk wine, he asked the people around him,
"What has Cao Jun been doing lately?"
"Returning to Lord Yu, according to the report of our spies, Cao Jun has been stationed in Qianping and has not made any moves."
Uyan replied.
"Cut, I thought this Yang Ling was so amazing, but I didn't expect that I would only dare to shrink there."
Sluggish and disdainful.
"Don't be careless with adults."
Yuan Xi on the side said cautiously,
"That Yang Ling has always been known for his cunning."
"What, what do you mean by that, do you think that we are only adults, not as good as you dogs?"
Wu Yan sneered and looked at Yuan Xi.
"Lord Shan Yu, King Khan Lu, I didn't mean that......"
Yuan Xi hurriedly waved his hand and explained.
"In my opinion, that's what you mean!"
Wu Yan stood up and looked at Yuan Xi viciously.
Just when Yuan Xi was trembling with fright, he said slowly,
"King Khan Lu, don't be rude to Yuan Gongzi."
"Rubbish!"
Wu Yan snorted coldly, and then sat back.
"Childe doesn't have to be nervous, King Khan Lu is just a little impatient."
Dumb Shan Yu smiled faintly,
"You're good, we can't be careless. King Khan Lu, you send more men and horses to keep an eye on Yang Ling's troops from today onwards! ”
"Yes, only my lord!"
Uyan pressed his chest and saluted.
"Alright, let's get back to drinking!"
He raised his glass again.
The Wuhuan nobles in the tent began to drink and have fun.
Yuan Xi sat in the corner, his eyes quite unwilling.
When his Yuan family was strong, Mo said that the king of Khan Lu was extended, and even Badun Shan Yu had to stammer him.
Why is it like a minion today, humiliated by the Wuhuan people?
But even if he is unwilling, Yuan Xi can only hold back, after all, he still has to rely on the Wuhuan people to take revenge.
……
None.
Cao Pi threw down the bamboo slip in his hand boredly, and said to Sima Yi on the side,
"What day is this?"
Sima Yi understood what he meant, and said respectfully,
"Back to the world, after we came back from Liping, it was already the fourteenth day."
"Didn't Yang Ling say that he was going to attack the Wuhuan people, it's been half a month, why hasn't there been any movement?"
Cao Pi scratched his head and asked.
"The prince doesn't know, I'm afraid that Yang Ling is difficult to ride a tiger at this time."
Seeing Cao Pi's dazed expression, Sima Yi smiled and explained,
"If you want to attack the Wuhuan people, you can only start from the coastal road."
"However, it has been the rainstorm season recently, and the heavy rain has been continuous, making the roads difficult to navigate, and the Wuhuan people are controlling the traffic arteries."
"But if Yang Ling has a little brain, he will give up attacking Wuhuan."
Cao Pi's eyes lit up, and he stroked his palms and smiled,
"God help me, this time I can finally make Yang Ling deflated!"
Yang Ling boasted in front of the soldiers in the army that he wanted to crusade against Wuhuan and avenge the tragic death of the Han people.
If he gave up, Cao Pi would be able to take the opportunity to attack him.
But if he insists on sending troops, with the current situation, I am afraid that he will end up in a fiasco!
In any case, Cao Pi can finally raise his eyebrows once!
"What the prince said is very true, we don't have to do anything, just wait quietly."
Sima Yi said with a smile.
……
Just when Shan Yu, Cao Pi and others were proud, Yang Ling had already led his troops to leave Qianping County.
In order not to attract attention, he only brought more than 30,000 men, and most of them were mainly cavalry.
The rest of the soldiers and horses continued to be stationed in the county seat of Qianping, led by Yin Ban and Zhang He.
After several days of rapid marching, Yang Ling and the others finally arrived at the foot of Xu Wushan.
They followed the path carved out by the villagers for hunting and headed into the mountains.
Sure enough, as Tian Chou said, this road is extremely bumpy and steep.
The narrowest places can even only allow one person or one horse to pass.
Rao is Cao's army is extremely elite, but it took a day, and it even traveled less than fifty miles.
There are also several soldiers who fell directly off the cliff due to the difficulty of the road.
Fortunately, before Yang Ling set off, he ordered the soldiers to be tied with ropes, so that no one died.
It's night.
The army temporarily camped in a flat place.
The crowd gathered around the campfire and began to deliberate on what to do.
"Strategist, if we follow the current progress, I'm afraid that we won't be able to reach Pinggang before the grain and grass run out."
Zhang Liao frowned.
The rest of the people also looked a little serious.
Before entering the mountain, they all thought that this trip would be extremely difficult, but they did not expect that it would be so difficult.
"It's all the grass people, I didn't explain the situation in advance."
Tian Chou said a little apologetically.
"Mr. Zitai is serious, this has nothing to do with you, it's just that I didn't think it through.
Yang Ling stood up as he spoke, looked at the black mountain in the distance, and smiled faintly.
In history, Cao Cao was able to lead the army, and he passed from such a difficult and complicated road, as a traverser, couldn't he do it?
Thinking of this, he was arrogant, and waved his big hand,
"Zilong!"
"The last general!"
Zhao Yun responded.
"Tomorrow we will send an engineer battalion to open the way, and tell them that as long as they can open a way for the army, they will use gunpowder!"
"Whoa!"
……
Early the next morning, Yang Ling reorganized his soldiers and horses and returned to the road.
With the engineer battalion opening the way, this is undoubtedly much smoother.
Whenever there is a rough and difficult place, the engineer battalion directly lays black powder.
Accompanied by the explosion of "boom", responding in the valley, Tian Chou, Xian Yufu and others were dumbfounded.
They didn't expect that the power of black powder would be so great!
In this way, with the help of the engineer battalion opening roads in the mountains and building bridges in the water, Cao Jun arrived in Pinggang County a few days earlier than expected.
Looking at the deserted county town at the foot of the mountain not far away, Tian Chou couldn't help but sigh,
"The grass people can be regarded as having a lot of knowledge now!"
Yang Ling smiled and asked,
"Mr. Zitai, what should we do next?"
"Wuguan Zhonglang can lead the army to march towards the southeast of Pinggang County, and this road is a plain, which is convenient for the army to march."
Tian Chou introduced,
"After seeing the White Wolf Mountain, turn northeast and travel more than 200 miles, you can reach Liucheng. I haven't traveled the next road, so I can no longer serve as a guide for the general of the five senses. ”
"Okay, thank you so much Mr. Zitai this time. If it weren't for Mr. Zitai's help, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to reach Pinggang County. ”
Yang Ling said solemnly,
"When Wuhuan is pacified in the future, I will definitely ask for credit for Mr. Zitai in front of Duke Wei."
"The facial features of Zhonglang will be serious! The grass people are waiting for the news that the five senses Zhonglang will return triumphantly! ”
Tian Chou also bowed respectfully.
Yang Ling found a team of soldiers and asked them to send Tian Chou back the way he came.
After the two sides separated in Pinggang County, Yang Ling marched southeast along the Pinggang Road according to Tian Chou's instructions.
Just a few days later, the majestic and magnificent White Wolf Mountain appeared in front of Cao Jun.
