    "Sail against the current and row hard - hey! Hey!"

    "God help Dongfeng - Hey! Hey!"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    On the wide water of the Han River, a team of large boats was going upstream. It was very difficult to sail against the current. Fortunately, God helped. The strong southeast wind for several days in a row made the sails big and small bulging. In addition, the boatmen rowed hard.  Oars, so the speed is not slow!

    In just three and a half days, we traveled from the Longmen Pier in Akasaka Castle all the way to the vicinity of Lecheng. Because the Yangbai flag was hung on the ship, all the checkpoints along the way were cleared smoothly, and they even proactively provided food and drinks!

    However, along the way the fleet was traveling, some people also discovered some small problems: First of all, when the fleet docked at the dock at night, none of the soldiers or boatmen on board came down. Outsiders were not allowed to go on the upper floors of the ship, and the food and wine prepared were also declined, saying that they were on their own.  Carrying dry food, is this not the style of 'Yang Xiaotan'?

    Secondly, these large ships go to Akasaka City to deliver supplies, and then return to Lecheng empty. Since the ships are empty, the waterline should be very shallow. In fact, the waterline of these large ships is very deep, and they must be full of things!

    "These two small questions were discovered by many guards along the way, but no one went into details, and no one boarded the ship to check, because they all had a guessed answer: the public ship is used for private use and sells goods!

    Yang Song and Yang Bai only loved yellow and white things, so the Hanzhong people privately called them "Yang Da Tan and Yang Xiao Tan". The two brothers lived up to their reputation of greed. They not only accepted bribes and embezzled military rations, but also often used public ships.  , smuggling supplies on the Han River and making huge profits!

    Therefore, the defenders along the way guessed that Yang Bai must have repeated his old tricks. After delivering the ordnance, food and grass, he used the fleet to smuggle supplies, hoping to bring them back and make a lot of money, so the water line was very deep.

    However, Akasaka Castle is a desolate place with neither local products nor gold and silver ores. I really don¡¯t know what Yang Bai was smuggling, but it was filled with more than 20 large ships. Is it terracotta?

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of the 20 or so large ships), which contained no cargo, but 7,000 heavily armed and murderous Cao troops, preparing to sneak attack the Lecheng camp!

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "Who wakes up from the big dream first? I know it in my life. I have had enough sleep in the summer, ah sneeze! ah sneeze - who is talking about me again?"

    In the roof cabin of the flagship building, Xiao Yi had a good sleep after eating and drinking. When he woke up, he felt comfortable and energetic. He also recited a few crooked poems, but he felt a little empty around him!

    This sneak attack on Lecheng was too dangerous, so Xiao Yi left his two wives, four sons, and one stepson in Akasaka City to avoid anything unexpected happening!

    He only brought Deng Ai, Dian Wei, and the Four Beasts of Hell, 3,000 bodyguards, and 4,000 people from the Evil Ghost Battalion. They took more than 20 large ships to attack Lecheng from the waterway, destroying the supplies of the Hanzhong Army in one fell swoop.  !

    According to the plan, the team took a large boat up the Han River and launched an attack on Lecheng at night. They burned all the ordnance, food and grass in a fire. In less than ten days, the Hanzhong troops would be completely destroyed, and then continued with Zhang Lu.  Negotiate and force him to give up Nanzheng City!

    However, after thinking about it, Xiao Yi was still a little hesitant about burning grain and grass. It wasn't that he didn't dare to burn it, but he was reluctant to burn it. Hundreds of thousands of Cao's troops were conquering the southwest, and the logistics pressure was very great, especially because the Qinling Plank Road was difficult and difficult to travel, and the transportation cost was very high.  A big problem!

    Let¡¯s put it this way, ten bushels of grain were transported from Xiwu Camp. Along the way, they went over mountains and ridges, were consumed by civilians, fell into mountain streams, and were destroyed by heavy rains and were finally sent to the military camp ahead. It would be good to have only one bushel left. Others  The same is true for supplies. The consumption along the way is too shocking, and the delivery speed is extremely slow, which often delays the war ahead!

    I heard Yang Bai say before that Lecheng has hoarded 700,000 to 800,000 dendrobium grains, as well as a large amount of ordnance, fodder, wound medicine, clothing Anyway, they are all good things. If captured, they would be enough for hundreds of thousands of Cao's troops.  Months of consumption.

    Therefore, Xiao Yi had the idea to burn Lecheng and seize Lecheng. However, using seven thousand soldiers to seize the fortified city garrisoned by 20,000 troops was not an ordinary task. Is there a trick?

    "Master Qi, Jin, Jin Jin Diao brought two pieces of news, one good one bad. Which one do you want to listen to first?"

    "No matter the news is good or bad, you read it to me as a teacherforget it, as a teacher, you should read it yourself!"

    As soon as the cabin door opened, Deng Ai rushed in, holding a letter bucket with three feathers attached to it. Xiao Yi hurriedly took it and looked at it. It was indeed good news and bad news!

    The good news is: Ma Liu¡¯s West Route Army captured Baima Pass, beheaded the guarding general Chang Yi, and annihilated?There are more than 10,000 enemy troops, and a lot of supplies have been seized. The entire Hanzhong Army is in turmoil!

    In order to restore the situation on the western front, Zhang Lu transferred 10,000 troops from Nanzheng and Lecheng each, and gave them to his second brother Zhang Wei to lead them to guard Yangping Pass, which was the last line of defense to the west of Nanzheng City.  The door is wide open!

    Lecheng's terrain was difficult, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was heavily guarded by 20,000 troops. Xiao Yi led 7,000 men to attack in a sneak attack. He was not sure at first, but he did not expect that half of the defenders would be transferred, and the chance of winning would be doubled.  Maybe we can really turn burning food into grabbing food!

    The bad news is: the victory in the Battle of Baima Pass not only caused turmoil to the entire Hanzhong Army, but also made people in Bashu panic. Liu Zhang, a cowardly guy, was actually beguiled by others and wanted to lead Liu Bei's army into Sichuan!

    Since Xiao Yi captured Hanzhong, what he was most worried about was that Liu Bei would send his troops into Sichuan. He did not expect that he would be afraid of what would happen. This made the situation in the southwest more complicated and the difficulty of pacification also increased several times.

    Having lost the initiative, it was useless to be annoyed. He had no choice but to fight quickly and capture Hanzhong County as soon as possible. Before Liu Bei entered Chengdu, he led his troops into the hinterland of Bashu. At least he had to occupy Xiameng and Jiange and control the entry into Bashu.  Portal!

    "I want you to write, and the golden eagle sends an order:

    First, let Hao Zhao and Wenpin from Jingzhou lead their troops to attack Jiangling City. They don't want to conquer the city, but just guerrilla from east to west and harass day and night, so as to delay Liu Bei's time and the number of troops entering Sichuan!

    Second, while letting Ma Liu attack Yangping Pass, detach a group of troops to infiltrate in the direction of Xiameng and Jiange to find out the troop deployment of the Bashu defenders. It is best to instigate several defenders and pave the way for the army to enter Bashu!

    Third, let Daniu and Gao Shun attack the Qinling defense line fiercely in the past few days to pin down Yang Ren and Yang Ang to prevent them from dividing their forces to rescue Lecheng and ruining our sneak attack plan!  "

    While Xiao Yi was dictating, Deng Ai took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone and quickly wrote three orders. However, what he wrote was not the regular script popular in the late Han Dynasty, nor the official script, seal script, or bronze inscriptions, but messy ghost-painted talismans, which were compared to Taoist talismans.  Prophecy is even more difficult to understand!

    This is a set of codes that Xiao Yi finally created based on various ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign texts, and absorbed religious, dreamy, and abstract elements. Only his wife, son, apprentice, and a few close generals can write and read it.  Understand!

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out of the blue, or even if there is another time traveler, they can't understand its meaning. It couldn't be safer to use to deliver military orders. Even if it falls into the hands of the enemy, none of the content will be leaked!

    "Dudu!¡ª¡ªtwee!"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Deng Ai put the three secret orders into three small bamboo tubes respectively, went outside the ship's cabin and blew a whistle to summon three golden eagles. He tied the bamboo tubes to the golden eagles' thighs and covered them with feathers, and then gave the order to take off.  Order¡­¡­

    Three golden eagles spread their wings and soared into the sky, circled a few times in the clouds, flew in different directions, and soon disappeared without a trace!

    The terrain in Hanzhong is complex, and plank roads, mountain roads, and waterways are extremely difficult to navigate. If military orders are conveyed by manpower, it may not be delivered in ten days and a half months. Enemy rangers may intercept and kill them on the way, or encounter other dangers, which is very likely to happen.  It is easy to delay military aircraft.

    Golden eagles are the kings of the air, known for their agility and strength. They can fly hundreds of miles in an hour, and no natural enemies can harm them. They are perfect for conveying military information. Xiao Yi can win every battle and repeatedly seize the enemy's advantage.  Machine, this is also one of the important reasons!

    While the order was issued, the fleet continued to sail upstream. At sunset, someone came to report: "We have arrived at Lecheng!"

    Lecheng is located on the north bank of the Han River. It was originally a dead canyon two or three miles from east to west and seven or eight miles from north to south. There are cliffs on three sides. The smooth and steep walls are difficult for monkeys to climb. There is no grass in the valley and there are black rocks everywhere. Only the south side is close.  Hanshui!

    Because the water is deep and wide, ships traveling on the Han River often stop here to rest, sometimes dry their goods and trade with each other. Gradually, a trading market is formed, and inns, restaurants, teahouses, brothelsthe business is very good.  !

    After Zhang Lu took charge of Hanzhong, he invested a lot of manpower and material resources to build cities, warehouses, and a deep-water dock here. First, he used the special geographical location to store various materials to supply the needs of the people!

    The second is to levy some tolls on ships of all sizes, thereby enriching Hanzhong's treasury. It can make millions of dollars in profits every year, and it can also protect the traffic on the Han River. It can be said that it kills multiple birds with one stone!

    ¡°Damn it, it¡¯s surrounded by mountains on three sides and is unreachable. One side faces the water and has a gate inside. There are many barriers and trenches inside, and there are 10,000 elite soldiers stationed there!

    No matter whether we attack by force or at night, we probably don¡¯t have much chance of winning. No wonder Zhang Lu is so relieved. He has stored hundreds of thousands of grain and grass here, but it is a good place where one man is in charge and no one can open it!  "

    Xiao Yi took advantage of the glow of the sunset to carefully examine the terrain of Lecheng, and could not help but frown. From a military point of view, Lecheng was well-defended and almost invulnerable. Not to mention a mere 7,000 people, even a 70,000-strong army might not be able to do so.  Can be broken!

    But, no matter how strong the city is, it still needs people to defend it. Although Lecheng has no flaws, the defenders are hard to say "Here, please bring Mr. Yang over!"

    "No!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Well, no wonder Zhang Lu was so reassured that he had stored hundreds of thousands of grain and grass here, but it was a good place where one man was in charge and no one could open it!  "
