Chapter 152: Two divisions (Part 2)

Hanzhong County.

The weather has been good these days, and it was even clearer when the Shu army arrived in Hanzhong.

The blue sky and white clouds are hanging high, and the red one is like a big fireball. But this fireball looks warm, but not much temperature spreads.

The ground is frozen and hard, and the weeds and flowers in autumn have dried up into the mud and fertilizer in the ground, but in another month, more vigorous plants will grow on the spot.

The continuous military camps were stationed outside Hanzhong City. The flags were waving and fluttering in the wind, and they were connected into pieces, so they could be seen clearly from a distance.

Wang Hongyi's commander camp was also located outside the city. Although there was a more comfortable environment in the city, it was obvious that this Shu landlord was more willing to eat and live with the soldiers at this time.

The 50,000 troops from Shu who came to Hanzhong were not small in quantity every day. Although the supply teams in the rear were constantly coming and going, this decision was made and the army was brought to Hanzhong, which was not unsuccessful.

Hanzhong is close to the Qinchuan area of ​​Guanzhong. If you climb over a mountain and walk forward, you will be the boundary of Guanzhong.

Wang Hongyi led a 50,000 army to gather here. He has not sent troops at present, but the army is stationed here, and the target is no longer necessary. Everyone's eyes are bright and they can see clearly.

After Guo Wentong arrived in Hanzhong, he had already hurriedly mobilized troops from all over the country to prepare to resist the invasion of the Shu army.

Struggles in Jingzhou, Wuyue and other places are waiting and watching, and are very concerned about this battle between the two heroes.

Just when everyone focused on Hanzhong and thought that Wang Hongyi would attack Guanzhong at any time, the seven thousand naval troops sent by Wang Hongyi had gone down the Jishui River without knowing it and headed to Yiling.

There were also five thousand people who left Hanzhong County while the 50,000 troops were coming and attracted attention.

With 50,000 troops as cover, the departure of these 5,000 people can be said to be extremely smooth.

When the sky was dawn, they had already left Hanzhong City very far away, and five thousand soldiers and horses gradually descended.

Deep in the dense forest, the stars shine brightly, and the moonlight shines, covering the earth with a layer of gauze, and the air is mixed with coldness, forming a fresh smell.

The team was the first to be Fan Liuhai, wearing armor and riding a horse. He was very burly, with a sharp face and a long sword, and he led the team forward with a solemn face.

Behind Fan Liuhai was a deputy general who called Zhang Fan. Behind were five thousand soldiers and horses following them, and in front were five hundred cavalrymen. The horses were riding, and the horses were covered with things, and the sound was not revealed during the march.

Behind are a large number of infantry, including two trenchers, which are not the kind used to attack the big city, but are just ordinary trenchers, pulled by war horses, and they do not drag down the process as they move along the way.

The soldiers were fully armed, after long-term training and equipped with armed armor, and the five thousand elite soldiers naturally had a majestic momentum that no one else could do.

Five thousand troops marched quickly, left the base camp, and passed the first pass.

Because he chose to walk on the trail, five thousand soldiers marched silently, with only a slight scattered footsteps echoing in his ears.

"The army moves slowly!" Fan Liuhai gave the order and ordered the soldiers to act quickly. In just ten minutes, the entire army slowed down and showed strict quality.

Even at this time, Fan Liuhai was eager to make contributions, and he marched overnight, and his face looked tired.

"Zhang Fan, what tricks do you have to capture Shangyong City?" As he slowly moved, Fan Liuhai, who was at the front of the team, spoke to the deputy general beside him.

"This..." Deputy General Zhang Fan thought.

The strategy has never been good at ordinary military generals like them. This time, the lord Wang Hongyi sent Fan Liuhai to attack Shangyong City. He must have thought that Fan Liuhai led 5,000 people to capture this city. Since that is the case, why bother to be a deputy general?

His deputy general was sent by Chengdu Prefecture City, and he had some intention of being a general. However, as a deputy general, he would never interfere in many things, but just acted as a deputy general's branch.

"General, in Zhang's opinion, after the journey is over, the general can send scouts early to Shangyong City to spy on the situation. As for the rest... With the ability of the general, it should be no problem to take down this city. Zhang follows the general's arrangements." Thinking of this, Zhang Fan said respectfully.

"Since that's the case, I'll send a scout to the front to investigate first." Fan Liuhai said with a smile.

Zhang Fan's answer made Fan Liuhai very satisfied. He naturally knew that as the commander of a major county in Hanzhong, he was not the direct subordinate of Wang Hongyi, so Cheng could not send someone to help him protect Hanzhong. It was said that it was assistance, but in fact, it also meant to be supervised.

The lord of any place would do this, not only Wang Hongyi.

Zhang Fan, who was sent to assist him, was as a deputy general, without any slandering words and deeds. He was rigorous in his work, was very respectful to him, and had very good abilities. Fan Liuhai was not disgusted with such a person.

In a good mood, he immediately ordered: "There is a small wood in front. After the team arrives there, they will be repaired!"

After hearing this, the soldiers left quickly, and after a moment, they stopped in the woods and made progress.

"Resting, camping, and eating!" Fan Liuhai gave an order and ran for 150 miles overnight. The speed of the march was already amazing.

Even if soldiers are usually raising their energy and nurturing, and are young and able to hold on, they still have to rest and walk day and night to maintain their physical strength.

Of course, some barren areas do not matter, you can rest at night.

Although they were marching urgently, the army still set up camp quickly according to the rules and buried a pot to make rice.

Camping sites are all chosen to be hidden places, and basically no one is present. In order to keep it secret, a stove with smoke-free food is built. They eat the dry food they carry with them. The dry food is quite good, and there are jerky meat, so you can rest after eating.

In the early morning, in the Hanzhong military camp.

Wang Hongyi got up and started washing up. A soldier had already held towels, basins, etc. and asked him to use them.

Even in the military camp, Wang Hongyi was wearing a crown robe of a Duke, but although it was a small food, it was just a few very simple foods.

Before breakfast, there were already people from Thirteen Divisions who reported the reactions of various forces to him one by one. Wang Hongyi listened carefully and saw that there was no big deviation from what he had expected in advance, he felt a little relieved.

"Will Fan Liuhai lead 5,000 people out to attract others' attention?"

"Lord, the detailed work that Hanzhong has mastered has not noticed. I have sent them a false news, but I am afraid that they will attract all their sight here." The people from Thirteenth Division replied respectfully.

"That's good. Keep abreast of the situation of all parties at any time. If there is any change, report it quickly." Wang Hongyi said as he ordered, and the people from Thirteen Divisions responded respectfully and retreated.

"Master, what are the breakfast meals?" At this time, a servant came over and asked.

Wang Hongyi waved his hand casually and said, "It's better to be wontons."

He loved this meal the most. When he was in the palace, he had a lot of breakfast meals. When he arrived at the military camp, wontons were simple and convenient, and he even ate them every morning.

After a while, the attendant walked in from outside with a wooden pallet.

There was a large sea bowl on the tray, and it was filled with steaming wontons, which made you feel appetite.

There are two side dishes, including wooden chopsticks and soup spoons.

After the attendant put down, he retreated outside the tent.

The wontons are extremely delicious, the side dishes are not strong, they are very light, but they are very appetizing.

Wang Hongyi quickly finished eating these things and asked the servant to remove the bowls and chopsticks.

"The Lord, the merchants and the great tribes in the city, brought some wine, meat and food to the Lord to work hard."

"Come in!" With Wang Hongyi's order, several servants walked into the tent with a tray full of various wine and meat.

"Master, I have checked it. There is no problem with these wine and meat, and it can be eaten." The captain of the attendant reported.

"Let's put it aside first." Wang Hongyi glanced at the wine and meat and said.

"promise."

The attendant placed the wine and meat on the table next to him and stepped down.

Standing up, walking closer to the wine and meat, Wang Hongyi smiled softly.

These merchants and big clans are very good at pleaseing and have the intention of inquiring about news.

"Transfer the orphans orders to distribute the wine and meat to the generals' tents."

"No!" Wang Hongyi only left some, and all the others were distributed to each battalion.

"I just don't know how many of these merchants and clans are real merchants and clans, and how many of them are really detailed..." Looking at the wine and meat in front of me, Wang Hongyi muttered to himself, and in a blink of an eye, he thought of Fan Liuhai again.

"It takes seven days to march from Hanzhong to Shangyong. Even if the planned road is far away from densely populated areas, it is still hard to say whether it can achieve the effect of a sudden attack."

Fan Liuhai's five thousand people continued to move towards Shangyong without knowing it.

In history, there were also 5,000 troops marching urgently and attacking hundreds of miles, but the enemy caught off guard.

As several guards looked at him, Wang Hongyi looked at the map without looking back and said, "Chao Wang comes from the door."

"promise!"

Wang Hongyi said and turned around, thinking, his eyes glowing faintly, and a layer of wrinkles appeared on his forehead, staring at the road map on the map.

After a moment, Wang came in through the door and kowtowed and bowed. Wang Hongyi did not look back: "It is a big deal to marching urgently. Even in a prosperous village, only 500 people can be supplied on-site supplies, and 5,000 people marching urgently. Is there any problem with the pre-built food?"

Wang Congmen was in his thirties, wearing a sixth-rank official uniform, with a pale face, his eye sockets slightly sunken, and his steep face rarely had an expression, and there was a hint of habitual murderous intention under his heavy eyebrows. After hearing the Lord's words, the muscles on his cheeks were slapped in a difficult situation, and said word by word: "Lord, it is a big deal for five thousand people to provide food, but if each base only serves one meal, at most two meals, it is not difficult."

"With dry food and jerky, one pound per person is enough. Five thousand people are five thousand pounds, and only fifty stones are the plan to have seven strongholds in seven days. However, in fact, I have buried fifteen strongholds on the route, and each stronghold has buried one hundred stones!"

Speaking of this, I tightened my mouth and silenced me, and stopped talking.

After hearing this, Wang Hongyi nodded, feeling relieved, but was still worried. His speech was not loud, he seemed a little dumb, but he was extremely clear: "This is different from ordinary, it is a battle. You have done a good job and have done all your personnel. If things are done, even you have made achievements in field battles. This is a wise master, but if you fail, even if you are not wrong, you will still be punished - do you understand this?"

"I understand!" The king kowtowed from the door and responded.
