It took Zhao Yun nearly a month to start from Yangping Pass, all the way through Fu County, Hechi, break the Pass, and descend to Chencang, and he had already completed the road of Chencang Road.

And in the meridian road.

The partial division led by Wei Yan and Cao Zhang was only halfway through.

And the situation is not optimistic.

The meridian road is a dangerous road, with mountains and rivers sandwiching the road.

It's been almost a month, but it seems that there is still half the journey to Meridian Valley.

Moreover, now the army has to face such a situation.

The baggage could not be transported, and the deeper it went, the scarcer the grain and grass became.

After all, Wei Yan ordered the people to transport grain and grass, and the farther the distance, the higher the cost of natural transfer of grain and grass, and the smaller the number of grain and grass transferred.

The difficulties are getting bigger and bigger.

In addition, there is a very serious problem that Wei Yan urgently needs to solve, that is, the grain and grass placed in the hidden corners of the Meridian Road, some of which are already moldy and rotten.

In the mountains and forests, there are countless mosquitoes and miasma, and the grain and grass are placed in the mountains for a long time, if there is no dry environment to preserve, it is normal to be bad.

But this is a normal thing, and for the current Wei Yan army, it is simply a catastrophe.

"Don't go this way for you to teach early, now it's okay, how are you going to clean up?"

Go back?

That's a shame.

I swore that I would surprise Chang'an from the Meridian Dodge to attract attention for the main force, but I retreated in the next second?

This face, he Wei Yan can't lose it, he is dangling around with 5,000 people, wasting military strength, and he can't afford this crime.

"There will be a solution."

Cao Zhang sighed and said: "Now we have two choices, the first one, withdraw, the second, take three thousand people to set off, and the remaining two thousand people go back, and the remaining grain and grass may be able to support the Meridian Valley." ”

Three thousand?

Wei Yan's brows furrowed.

Originally, the number of 5,000 people was less, but now there are 2,000 people less?

Even if 3,000 people take Chang'an down, they won't be able to defend it!

"No third option?"

Cao Zhang sighed and said: "Our journey was originally a partial division, just to attract the attention of the Wei army, and there is not much difference between five thousand people and three thousand people. ”

Maybe in your heart, we are biased teachers along the way.

But in my Wei Yan's heart, sending troops from the Meridian Dao is to establish miraculous feats!

"Perhaps, we should speed it up."

Wei Yan's eyes flickered.

The reason why this journey is so slow is because of the fear of too many casualties.

But now there is not enough food and grass, so we can only speed up.

"Are you crazy? ：”

Cao Zhang's brows furrowed.

"Now the dry food is only enough for five days, and in five days, we have to cross a mountain road three hundred miles away, can we really go out?"

Sixty miles a day.

Even on the wide and flat road, it is difficult, let alone in the middle of the mountain road.

"The matter has come to this, I have no second choice, inform the whole army, attack at full speed, and arrive at the Meridian Valley in five days, this is a ruined boat, if you don't reach the Meridian Valley within five days, you will wait to be hungry!"

Now go back, and five days' bread and grass will be sufficient.

Because the people in Hanzhong are still transporting grain and grass along the meridian road at the moment.

When you go back, you will meet these people who transport grain and grass.

But

Go in the direction of the Meridian Valley, if the grain is eaten and the Meridian Valley has not yet arrived, then it is really over.

"It is necessary to establish immortal merits, not only to be ruthless to the enemy, but also to oneself!"

Wei Yan's eyes were firm, and he said to Cao Zhang: "If you are afraid, you can go back." ”

What a gambler this man is!

And also a daring gambler.

"Hahaha~"

Cao Zhang laughed out loud and said, "You're not afraid of death, what am I, Cao Zhang, afraid of?" I will give up my life to accompany the gentleman today! ”

Military order.

As a result, the Han army, which was originally walking slowly in the mountain road, suddenly increased its speed.

Sixty miles a day.

Marching with extreme intensity.

The mountain road is rugged, there are countless deep ravines, and halfway through, you even need to open the road.

It is overgrown with thorns and difficult for pedestrians.

It's all about carving a path in the mountains.

And sometimes, the road is cut off, and you have to walk next to the cliff.

As the speed of the march increased, the casualties of the Han army also increased.

One day.

Two days.

Three days.

It wasn't until the fourth day that Wei Yan stopped.

"And the last day's bread and grass, where is it now?"

marching in the mountain road, and in order to keep the Han soldiers from complaining in their hearts, he has always taken the lead.

Therefore, many wounds have been opened on his hands by thorns.

The haggard color on his face is even more obvious.

Cao Zhang is also described as haggard.

This march from the Meridian Road was the most difficult road he had ever walked in his life.

Even the roads of the grassland and desert are not so uncomfortable.

"The guide fell to his death yesterday, and all we know is marching north."

Only then did Wei Yan react.

"In case you go the wrong way"

Wei Yan was startled, but quickly threw this thought away.

There's nothing wrong with that.

You can't go wrong.

If it's wrong, it's over.

Wei Yan pretended to be confident.

"I've been here before, that mountain, it's very familiar, and I will be able to reach the Meridian Valley tomorrow."

Wei Yan said with a smile to the left and right.

Hearing this, the people around him suddenly relaxed a lot.

Since the Governor has come, it will be fine.

However, Cao Zhang looked at Wei Yan with suspicion.

You are the governor of Hanzhong, every day has all kinds of opportunities, and you have to deal with the affairs of Hanzhong, you can go for more than ten days, but you can't go for two months?

Hanzhong hasn't seen the governor of Hanzhong for two months, so isn't this Hanzhong going to be in turmoil?

Wei Yan said this in order to appease people's hearts.

Of course, Cao Zhang had this idea in his heart, but he didn't want to expose Wei Yan's lies.

Morale is needed now, hope is needed now.

Otherwise, you won't even be able to finish the last day.

Walking in the mountains, in addition to the mountains, it is still a mountain, if there is no hope, you really can't get out of this layered mountain.

"Take a break, continue to set off, and go to the Meridian Valley tomorrow to drink wine and eat meat! There are free-range cattle and sheep in the Meridian Valley, and there are countless grains and rice in the treasury. ”

Wei Yan laughed, and the people on the left and right had a light in their eyes, and the corners of their mouths unconsciously flowed out.

The original fatigue seems to have been swept away.

This Wei Yan really has a way!

Isn't this the Wangmei of the Father King to quench his thirst?

The army marched for another day.

And the so-called Meridian Valley has not yet arrived.

Wei Yan already had a bad premonition in his heart.

There was also some rumor in the army.

Of course, Wei Yan was flustered in his heart, but on the surface, he was unusually calm.

"I'm going to Meridian Valley soon, go faster, go slowly, but I'm going to be hungry."

"Over this mountain, the Ion Meridian Valley is getting closer and closer."

"Before evening, we will definitely be able to reach Meridian Valley!"

The more he said this, the more Cao Zhang's face became difficult to see.

He stepped forward and secretly pulled Wei Yan aside.

"If we don't reach Meridian Valley today, this morale will collapse."

Although these Han troops are elite, if you want to make your family march and fight hungry, I am afraid that they will not be willing.

"Meridian Valley will definitely be there today!"

He Wei Yan is not the flying general Li Guang, although this meridian road is difficult to walk, the direction is still easy to identify.

He can't go wrong.

"I think I'm going to prepare for the worst."

What's the worst?

"If there is no food to eat, there is only one way to go to the Meridian Valley, and they have no choice."

It's all broken, and if you want to live, you can only go forward!

Cao Zhang sighed, in fact, he wanted to say, there is no food, but human flesh does!

But this sentence must not be spoken.

After all, no one wants to be eaten like dried meat.

Until late at night.

Suddenly there were sporadic fires in the distance.

The Han soldiers were like beasts that smelled fishy, and their eyes were glowing green.

It's here!

It's time to Meridian Valley.

Wei Yan looked at the lights in the distance, and tears of excitement were about to flow out.

Fortunately, it didn't go the wrong way.

Otherwise, this is not a name in history, but a notoriety.

"General Ben did what he said, he said that he would bring you to the Meridian Valley today, and he would bring you to the Meridian Valley, and now, follow me to kill and go to the Meridian Valley to have a full meal!"

Wei Yan's stomach was already growling.

At this moment, he took the lead, rushed forward, and rushed towards the Meridian Valley.

Cao Zhang was lamenting that Wei Yan's face was thick enough, and on the other hand, he was lamenting that Wei Yan's luck was good enough.

This lost the guide, and was able to get to the Meridian Valley.

This destiny is really in Han!

Cao Zhang sighed in his heart, and pulled out the sword on his waist.

He is now a descendant and serves the Han Kingdom.

If you make meritorious contributions, you may not be able to be named the king of Wei.

With such a heroic lord as Liu Gonghei, the crown prince of the Han Kingdom, his goal of sealing the wolf and living in Xu and crisscrossing the West may be completed.

"Kill!"

Cao Zhang roared and immediately headed towards the Meridian Valley.

So far.

The two routes of the Northern Expedition of the Han Kingdom have already arrived in Guanzhong by the way.

At this moment, Cao Zhen had already left Guanzhong, returned to the city, and went in the direction of Anding County.

For Hanguo, now, it is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

In a month's time, Wu sent almost all the grain, grass, money and silk required by the covenant.

A small part of this money, grain, and wealth was left in Xunyang, and most of them were transported to Jiangling, directly filling the empty treasury.

And Liu Chan also released more than 10,000 Wu troops from the cottage fortress of the Xunyang defense line to Wu according to the requirements.

For this reason, Sun Quan also specially wrote a letter, in which he was commensurate with Weng's son-in-law, and praised Liu Chan for the first time.

Sun Quan felt that he had sent Liu Chan away with some money and food, avoided the crisis of losing the country, and earned back more than 10,000 elites of the Wu army, which was simply too much to earn.

However, Liu Chan knew that the news of the Northern Expedition would soon reach Wu Guo, and he would be satisfied if he had reaped the benefits.

If you get some benefits from Sun Quan, it still depends on his ability.

Before leaving, Liu Chan handed over Xunyang to the ban and hired the town to guard.

and there were 20,000 men left for them.

With 20,000 people, it is impossible to break through the Wu defense line, but it is not a problem to hold Xunyang, as long as you do not go out of the city to fight.

Especially in the current Wu State, grain, grass, money and silk have been squeezed by Liu Chan, and now the main energy has been put on farming and economic construction.

There is no mind and no ability to mobilize a large-scale campaign.

At this moment, if Wu Guo does not recuperate for a few years, it is impossible to start a war again.

Weak Wu, bad Wu, use Wu.

Liu Chan's purpose can be regarded as completely accomplished.

Outside the city of Xunyang.

Yu Banwen hired Gu Yong and other generals and officials who stayed behind to bid farewell to Liu Chan under the city.

Yu Ban is no joy or sorrow.

After all, all the credit has been taken, and now that he is older, he wants to come in peace.

In recent years, he has taken in a few new wives and concubines, dragged his old body, and made their stomachs bigger, which can be said to have taken the efforts of ninety-two tigers to get a son out.

There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great.

After the news of the execution of Luoyang's family heirs, Yu Ban finally got what he wanted.

Wen Ping frowned slightly.

Although the task of inheriting the family line is equally arduous, after all, his sons are dead.

One of them died at the hands of the Han army.

But that's all about the old calendar.

People have to look forward.

Something that can't be saved can only be let go with the wind.

Now there is no opportunity to make a contribution, and if there is, it will take a while.

Wen Ping is going to use the things rewarded by military merits to bring a few beautiful concubines over.

To make meritorious contributions to the cause, this inheritance is also urgent.

"Everyone, the matter of cutting down Wu will be left for later, and I ask you to guard Xunyang, so that you can train your soldiers, and maybe you will be able to destroy Wu soon!"

This time it is to attack Wu, and the next time I come to deal with Wu, it will not be a war against Wu.

It was the battle to destroy Wu.

Hearing this, Wen Ping's slightly frowning brows finally eased, and his eyes also flashed brightly.

Yes, extremely!

What kind of merit is to destroy Wu, if you can destroy Wu, it is a heavenly achievement!

"Your Highness, the matter of finding the sun will be left to me, although rest assured."

With His Highness, you can still eat meat.

For example, Gu Yong has already been made a marquis for merit, and he has also received a large number of financial rewards.

I hope that His Highness's battle to destroy Wu will come as soon as possible!

Wen Ping was quite hopeful.

After bidding farewell to the ban on writing, Liu Chan sat in the prince's chariot.

It's not that he is greedy for enjoyment, it's really Zhou Che who has a big belly, and it's not good for her to ride back.

Thinking about it again, Jiangling's big and small Qiao, who also has a big belly, and Princess Guan Yinping, Zhang Peilan, and Zhurong, who is about to give birth in Chengdu, have attracted enough romantic debts in this life.

Of course

Tonight will rest overnight in Qichun.

Thinking of this, Liu Chan felt that the pressure on his back was too heavy.

In the future, if you give birth to more sons, how should you raise them!

Sun Ba's kid, give him the title of King Wu, is that still a grassland khan?

Seal a barbarian king in the south?

Just be bold and be crowned the king of the Americas!

Thinking too far ahead, let's wipe the saliva first.

Liu Chan hugged Zhou Che in one hand and Hu in the other, thinking, even if you really become an emperor, you won't be as happy as me?

"Your Highness, I'm afraid the concubine won't be able to go to Guanzhong with you."

If you are pregnant, you really can't travel long distances.

"Just stay in Gangneung."

Zhou Che shook his teeth and said, "Then will Your Highness forget me?" ”

used to be a thorny beauty, but now I'm thinking about competing for favor.

What a woman!

It's really changeable.

"Wait for you to give birth to a big fat boy, and then do things for me!"

As he spoke, Liu Chan unceremoniously slapped the meaty place, and immediately caused a wave of waves.

The wheels of the carriage made a pleasant moan as they moved along the road.

Wake up to the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beauties.

This kind of beauty, he has to keep it firmly!

Changan.

Wait for you to conquer the Emperor! (End of chapter)
