Chapter 552: Dog Sledding
( ) "How?" ”
Although Chen Yan had already guessed the outcome of the matter, he still asked it, and he was not very willing to accept this bad fact before he heard others tell him in person.
Jia Xu hesitated, but still said: "Back to the lord, the situation is not optimistic......
"Oh? Why is it not optimistic? ”
Chen Yan seems to have the last hope.
Jia Xu shook his head and said: "Not only the northern part of Qingzhou, but also the eastern part of Yanzhou, there is also a lot of snowfall, and the area of this snowfall is very vast, and the entire area of Qingzhou Yanzhou has been covered with heavy snow......
Jia Xu's tone was solemn, and the content was professional like a weather forecaster.
Chen Yan heard this, his brows were tightly wrinkled together, if it was really as Jia Xu said, then not to mention Cao Cao, who attacked Puyang, it would be very difficult to get out of this Qingzhou, although Cheng Yu's method of wrapping the horse's hooves in the previous was very effective, but with such a large amount of snow, the marching speed of the entire army would definitely be affected, and even this cold weather would make people frown.
Thinking of this, Chen Yan even doubted how Cheng Yu and Xiahou Yuan escaped from this large snowfield, they were defeated and the food and grass were insufficient, and there must have been many casualties along the way.
Chen Yan immediately asked, "Have you ever seen the corpses of Xiahou Yuan and Cheng Yu's remnants?" ”
Jia Xu and Sima Yi were both eye-catching, the two of them really didn't have this level of consideration, Chen Yan was really careful, and even thought of such a detailed thing.
When the two spies heard this, they both nodded at the same time, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, not at first, but when they reached fifty miles away, there were a lot of corpses, and they were all dressed by Cao Jun!" ”
Chen Yan pondered for a while, thought for a while, and then said, "In which direction are they going?" ”
The spy hurriedly said: "Look at the direction should be the direction to Puyang!" ”
Chen Yan listened to this and nodded.
Jia Xu saw Chen Yan nodding, and hurriedly asked, "Doesn't the lord think that we have a show in the three cities of Dongjun?" ”
Jia Xu was really clever, he had already guessed Chen Yan's intentions just from Chen Yan's movements and demeanor, Chen Yan nodded with a happy expression, it was indeed related to the three cities of Dongjun.
The three cities of Dongjun are Cao Cao's most solid foundation in Yanzhou, when Chen Gong and Zhang Miao dedicated Yanzhou to Lu Bu, Cao Cao almost lost the base, it was Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, Xun You and Xiahoudun who desperately defended the three cities of Dongjun, which allowed Cao Cao to have a reliance, not completely lost Yanzhou.
Now Cao Cao pushed to Puyang, and Chen Yan was eyeing the border, the army was pressing, and the entire army was pointing to Puyang City, which caused an illusion to Cao Cao, thinking that Chen Yan was going straight to Puyang.
After all, Cao Cao killed Lu Bu at this time, Chen Yan and his hatred were not shared, and he still thought that Cao Cao would directly kill Puyang to fight Cao Cao.
Even the treacherous and cunning Cheng Yu was no exception, it was because he thought that Chen Yan was going to Puyang, so he first came to Beihai to rescue Xiahou Yuan, and then took Xiahou Yuan, who had a broken arm, towards Puyang, because he knew that Chen Yan was going to Puyang, which he had subconsciously admitted to death.
Since this is the case, then the garrison of the three cities of Dongjun must be weak at this time!
Since this is the case, if Chen Yan sends troops to the southwest instead of the northwest, and takes the eastern county instead of killing Puyang, then Cao Cao will be at a loss and lose his support.
Thinking of this, Chen Yan's blood was boiling, he just glanced at Jia Xu, and he could judge that what Jia Xu was thinking exactly like him at this time!
What a ploy!
At this moment, suddenly Sima Yi coughed in a low voice and said, "Lord...... Lord...... The spies reported that the snow was especially heavy on the way to the three cities of Dongjun, and the situation was not optimistic......"
As soon as Sima Yi said this, Chen Yanden felt that someone had poured a basin of cold water directly on his head.
In this cold winter wax moon, it is especially cold.
Chen Yan bowed his head and was silent, and Jia Xu was also silent for a while.
Sima Yi didn't seem to realize that he had poured cold water on these two, and still said to himself: "However, this is not the most serious problem, the most serious problem is that the weather is not cold enough at this time, the snow melts when the sun shines during the day, and the weather is cold at night, so it freezes again......
Jia Xu's face became more and more ugly the more he listened, and he couldn't help but shake his head and ask, "Then if you wrap the hooves of the war horse in cloth, you can't do it?" ”
Sima Yi said in a low voice: "The two spies just now used this method, but it still works, but after all, we are not all cavalry, plus baggage vehicles, how can we walk on the ice?" ”
Hearing this, Jia Xu was completely out of ideas, it seems that the number one poisoner of the Three Kingdoms is not everything.
At this time, Chen Gong and Guo Jia heard that Tanma had returned, and they also hurried over, and everyone discussed it together, but none of them had a good idea.
The more Chen Yan thought about it, the more bored he became, and suddenly his heart moved, but he remembered something.
That's "Dog Sledding!" ”
At this time, the whole road was covered with ice, and only the horses with their hooves wrapped in cloth could gallop on them, and the speed of people who had to walk would be greatly reduced. This is a bad thing, but it is also a good thing.
The good thing is that it is very slippery, which greatly reduces the friction, if Chen Yan lets the army build a few big sleds, then the entire baggage handling and soldiers' transportation will no longer be a problem!
Thinking of this, Chen Yan's eyes lit up suddenly, and he immediately asked, "How many ox carts and carriages do we have in our army?" ”
Jia Xu was stunned when he heard this, and everyone was also confused, and they didn't know what medicine was sold in Chen Yan's gourd.
Jia Xu immediately replied: "The logistics affairs are in Erlang's hands." ”
Sima Yi was really gifted, intelligent and capable, and immediately rolled his eyes and said: "It's good to say, there are two hundred and eighty ox carts and six hundred and thirty-five carriages in our army. ”
Chen Yan nodded immediately, and then asked, "So how many soldiers can be loaded in these vehicles?" ”
Sima Yi thought about it for a while, and immediately came to a conclusion: "Each ox cart can carry at least twelve people, and the carriage can carry ten people, which is a total of nine thousand seven hundred and ten people!" ”
Chen Yan listened, admiring Sima Yi's mental arithmetic speed in his heart, and after thinking about it, he asked, "Then how many cavalry do we have?" ”
Sima Yi immediately replied: "Except for General Huang Zhong's 3,000 iron cavalry, which is under his own control, the rest of the cavalry attacks 15,000 people. ”
Chen Yan pondered for a moment and said to himself: "18,000 cavalry, 10,000 infantry...... 30,000 people, that's enough! ”
Everyone was confused by what Chen Yan said, and asked in unison, "What is enough?" ”
Chen Yan smiled secretly, winked at everyone, and said, "Take Dongjun, that's enough!" ”
