The flying flowers of late spring floated melodiously in the air, and there were spots on the brown ground. Guo Shao stood at the gate of the county office and glanced at the women nearby. Jingniang was wearing leather armor and a sword, and behind her stood a black woman carrying a big baggage.
Wushan Bai Grandma is dressed in a cloth robe, her hair is all white and she is wrapped in cloth, and she also carries a baggage. Guo Shao kept his eyes on the little girl Lu Lan, whose chest was bulging|bulging, waist|butt was a young girl; the figure of the girl is very different, you can tell at a glance.
"You don't want to set off, what is Dashuai Guo staring at me?" Lu Lan muttered.
Guo Shao persuaded: "The march is very difficult and the women are inconvenient. In this way, let your third aunt go to Chengdu with us to find someone; I will send you to Tokyo. This is something you Can't you still trust me?"
Lu Lan whispered: "I'm worried that the third aunt did not take care of her on the road, and the third aunt has never been far away... General Guo, I will follow to Kuizhou to see if the third aunt is safe on the road, and then go to Tokyo How?"
Guo Shao thought about a hundred miles from Wushan County to Kuizhou, and he could send her away in a few days. He immediately said: "Is this true? A gentleman..."
"A horse is hard to chase!" Lu Lan said readily.
Guo Shao nodded and looked up at the sky: "Just hope that God will not rain for three or four days."
……
Two days later, it rained.
In the lobby of the Kuizhou Central Army's convalescence, = one = this = reading = novel = Ningjiang Jiedu made Gao Yanjian stand at the gate looking at the patter of rain outside, and said: "It's raining well!"
Wang Zhaoyuan, the supervising army of the East Route Army, who was looking at the dossier on the public seat, asked casually: "What's the good point?"
"It's raining, how did Zhou Jun come to Kuizhou on the mountain road?" Gao Yanjian said, "In this season, if there is a light rain for a month and a half, it doesn’t need to be too heavy, it will be so overcast, and Kuizhou can guard more. For a while."
Wang Zhaoyuan said: "What mountain road? Is Zhou Jun going over the mountain in Qutang Gorge?"
Gao Yanran said: "Cross the mountain from the north of Chijia Mountain (Qumen North Mountain), and go south along the Caotang River Valley; then cross the river and approach the city of Kuizhou. Why did Zhou Jun go to Qumen?"
Wang Zhaoyuan, who was still very indifferent, opened his eyes and stood up in shock: "Why didn't you say it earlier?!"
"Wang Jianjun is strategizing and holding the military power on the east road. Don't you even know the terrain and roads around Kuizhou?" Gao Yanjian also asked in surprise, "I thought you knew everything well, so I didn't Talk more."
Wang Zhaoyuan’s staff said, "How long has Deputy Envoy Wang been to Kuizhou? It is necessary to deploy defense and plan, how can I know exactly what mountain road? Since General Gao has been working in Kuizhou long ago Jiedushi, this important thing is said now!"
Gao Yanjian frowned and couldn't explain: "This..."
"Mountain road?" Wang Zhaoyuan was shocked for a while, and soon calmed down, "Mountain road can take a large army?"
Gao Yanjian said: "As long as you are determined to go to a place, you will definitely be able to take the army. The cliffs on the Shu Road can also be built, let alone the mountain road? Let’s burn the plank road in Qumen. If Zhou Jun doesn’t want to Waiting for the plank road to be repaired slowly, he should find another way...but Deputy Wang is quiet, now it’s raining, and the mountain road is all muddy, really can’t walk the army. Zhou Jun can’t make it for a while. ."
"The rain will always stop!" Wang Zhaoyuan said angrily, "We can't stop the Zhou army anymore. Sooner or later, they will come to the city!"
Gao Yanjian was also bewildered: "Dare to love the deputy envoy of the king who thought that the Zhou army would not approach the city?"
Wang Zhaoyuan said: "I burnt the plank road, and our navy is upstream. Zhou Jun can't advance on land and water, how can I get here? Who knows there is a crooked way!" He held out his finger and shook Gao Yanjian's nose. "You... Gao Jieshuai! Even if you have a prejudice against Wang, you can't tell the military affairs without telling it, so as to delay major events. What is your intention?"
Gao Yanjian said: "What can I do, Kuizhou can’t hold it, is it good for Gao? But there is no way for our troops to win. Now we only have to close the gates and defend the city for a day. Anyway, Sooner or later, the Zhou army will come, and sooner or later, it will also take Kuizhou. Unless the rain is true for the next month or two months, the Zhou army may not be able to withstand the retreat..."
"Haha..." Wang Zhaoyuan suddenly raised his head and laughed, "It's ridiculous! It's so strange! There are still generals in this world who do this. If you decide to defeat before you fight, then what are we going to fight?"
"Yeah, what are we fighting?" Gao Yanjian said, "But you and I are deeply favored by the emperor, and we can only fight to the death here. Even if we lose, we are worthy of your majesty and the people of Shu. So I I just said that blocking a day counts as a day, and sticking to the delay day is the best policy."
Wang Zhaoyuan said anxiously: "You wait to see how the officer defeated Zhou Jun. Go back to the court someday and see that I won't join you!"
……
The rain at this time is indeed a disaster for Zhou Jun. Nearly 20,000 troops were trapped in the valley of the Caotang River. This is a small river, the valley is not deep and flat, both sides are full of low but rugged mountains, and the road is relatively narrow. It is estimated that the 20,000 horses had pulled back and forth for 15 miles, and were unable to move halfway. They had stopped marching and setting up tents.
Guo Shaochu tried a while trekking in the rain with a wooden stick. His clothes were all wet, and the rain flowed from the edge of the helmet to his face. He stretched out his hand and wiped it, and said in his heart: I thought I had never done anything that hurts the world and reason. God, it's raining sooner or later, but it's raining now.
"The lord will go back. Soldiers, horses and vehicles can't move on this kind of road." The accompanying minister persuaded.
Guo Shao looked up and saw the endless tents by the river, without seeing the head and the end, lying on the road like a long dead snake. He slid step by step, supporting with a wooden stick before walking back carefully with difficulty.
The environment here looks beautiful, but in fact it is not such a comfortable place. When it rains, it’s just a sin. The clean concrete roads from ancient times were all muddy, and half of the body was muddy. Fortunately, mud puddles are the most dirty. The key is to slip a little carelessly. Wrestling; the rain is not heavy, there is hard soil underneath, and a layer of mud on the top, and the road is still rugged. Anyway, Guo Shao had a very difficult walk on his own, and those soldiers pushing vehicles and carrying heavy loads might be even more difficult.
In the gray sky, Guo Shao was depressed when he returned to the Chinese military tent.
Everyone hid in the tents to avoid the fire and rain. The ground inside was also muddy. People cut some branches and put them on the mud, mowed the grass and put them on a layer, and then spread the tung tarpaulin, blankets and quilts on the bed. . The rain was still flowing between the branches under the bed.
Don't dare to burn the fire too high, so the pot on the top is in front of the flame, otherwise you have to set the tent on fire. Guo Shao took off his wet clothes and changed into dirty but dry clothes. Lu Chengyong helped hang the branches by the stove and bake them.
People in the tent saw that Guo Shao's face was calm, but they didn't say a word. Guo Shaoyou sat by the fire and looked at the sky, and said in his heart: Oh, this rain is pattering and soft, and it doesn't stop. It won't be next ten and a half months, right? If it is too long, the food and grass brought by the army will not be enough. It is very difficult to transport grain from the back of Wushan County on rainy mountain roads.
Guo Shao sat in front of a rough cutting board, pulled out a newly made map from the package, and took out a ruler to estimate the approximate distance.
Now throw away some of your luggage, and stick to walking slowly, you can reach Kuizhou. The key is to fear that the Shu army will not be able to get to Kuizhou for a while. The ration is not enough: 20,000 soldiers will only need four a day to eat. At 60,000 catties of grain, and horses eat more...to Kuizhou is farther from the rear, relying on the supply line of the Caotang River Valley, it is extremely difficult to transport grain to meet the needs of the army on rainy days. If the rain does not stop, Zhou Jun will be in a dilemma. Being careless may have serious consequences.
If you want to be stable, you can consider returning along the same route while there is still food in the army and the road is only half way. But after going back? You have to take this road to attack Kuizhou... Such a fuss is very morale hurt, let everyone crawl back to Wushan County in the rain on such rugged mountain roads?
"Look for two messengers to send letters to Li Gu in Wushan County!" Guo Shao said.
He picked up the pen, and the wording was very serious: Even if the soldiers were to be organized to line up from Wushan County to Caotang River, they would have to pass the military rations.
At this moment, Shi Yanchao, Yang Biao and other generals came to Guo Shao’s account, and the tent was noisy for a while, Shi Yanchao complained: "Whoever chooses the day, don’t look for a half-century to look through the almanac. ."
Yang Biao said: "Brother, what should I do now?"
Guo Shaoleng said coldly: "As long as it rains, how long we will stay here. I have decided that even if it falls to next year, it will definitely win Kuizhou this time!"
As soon as the generals heard this, they stopped making noise, and said one after another: "I must follow the Lord's general order."
"Li Dazhu, are you getting better?" Guo Shao suddenly asked with a sigh of relief.
The awe-inspiring atmosphere just now was immediately relieved by a sentence. Everyone laughed at Li Dazhu again. Li Dazhu blushed, but didn't dare to ignore the general, so he said: "Almost... healed." /
Guo Shao asked again: "You have been to Qu Men with Dong Zunjiao a while ago, and Dong Zunjiao told you that you can't live on land or water. What is the specific situation?"
Li Dazhu said: "I saw a section of rapids. The width of the river is only a few dozen steps. Unless a strong east wind blows over, the power of paddles and waterwheels will not be enough for the river to rush... with experience. The tracker of China can pull the boat from the rock wall by the river; but upstream, leaning against the navy of the Shu army, he shot the tracker to death with a bow|crossbow. There are ballistas on the warship of the Shu army."
Guo Shao drew two lines and asked in detail where the Shu Army navy was leaning against and where the tracker pulled the boat from. After he finished talking with Li Dazhu, he wrote a letter to ask Dong Zunzuo, since the tracker can walk, can he think of a way to send troops through the tracker’s path, arrive at the stopping point of the naval division of the Shu Army, and stand firm to let the Shu Army. There is no fixed place for the ship...According to Guo Shao's idea, the river is so urgent that the warship can't be held by simply dropping anchor. As long as the Shu army ships float down, they will be besieged by the Zhou army to catch turtles in the urn.
However, the specific situation still has to be judged by Dong Zunzhu, Guo Shao is not there, and he cannot make a death order based on a few words of description and imagination.
