Chapter 635 Jia Xu's Farewell Battle Has Begun! [Seeking Monthly Votes]

In Hanzhong County, Lu Bu, whom Xu Chu was thinking about, was leading the Chinese army on the Golden Ox Road, straight into the hinterland of Yizhou.

Zhang Xiu opened the way in front, and with the locals as guides, the advance went smoothly. In half a day, Zhang Xiu could lead people to the first heavily guarded pass into Yizhou - Wuding Pass.

Lu Bu's confidential secretary, Hao Zhao, who is just over two meters tall, flipped through the information on his tablet and said:

"It is said that Wuding Pass was built during the Warring States Period. Does the general know why it is called this?"

Lu Bu took a piece of big cake and took a bite, then he opened his mouth and started telling lies:

"There is a delicacy in the real world called Sanding Steamed Buns, which is made by dicing chicken, pork, and bamboo shoots to make steamed buns. It tastes super good... In this Wudingguan, I guess diced shrimp and lard residue should be added. , the umami and aroma are stronger.”

Okay, I don’t need to ask you more... Hao Zhao knew as soon as he heard that this guy was talking nonsense, so he didn’t point him out, but reported the business:

"General Zhang's scout troops detected that the garrison behind Wuding Pass was burning the plank road. This will greatly hinder our army's campaign."

Lu Bu said without thinking:

"Let the scout team fly the drone behind the person who set the fire, burn the plank road behind them, cut off their retreat, and make it impossible for them to go back."

Before setting off for the expedition, Lu Bu was prepared for the plank road to be burned.

It can even be said that he had no intention of expecting the plank road on the Shu Road to be still usable, especially now that with the scaffolding provided by Li Yu and a layer of square timber and bamboo fences, the road was better than the previous Shu Road. There is a lot of walking, and there are drones, so you can go around many places.

Wei Xu, who had been promoted to captain in front of the tent, patted the piles of bamboo fences next to him and asked:

"General, this thing looks very simple, can't we do it?"

Lu Bu unscrewed the thermos cup and took a big sip of Pu'er tea, then ate the big cake:

"It can be done, but the efficiency is low, and even if we want to do it, we have to do it in the Sichuan Basin. Although there are bamboos near Hanzhong, they grow too thin, and we need to improve the varieties."

Once the Sichuan Basin is conquered, there will be a steady stream of bamboo for use. At that time, some huge moso bamboo will be introduced from the real world. This thing can be used in all aspects, and can even replace steel pipes as scaffolding. It is very practical.

After Lu Bu finished eating the cake, he said to Wei Xu:

"Your sister wants you to achieve military merit, but if you follow me, it will be difficult to achieve merit... How about you lead a commando team and join Zhang Xiu in front?"

Although the Chinese army led by Lu Bu was the core of the army, the Shu Road was narrow and long, making it impossible to carry out large-scale operations. All combat tasks were basically completed by the front army.

If the front army is blocked, Lu Bu's central army can only stop and send small groups of troops for reinforcements.

Even if the large army wanted to go up, they couldn't get through at all.

The entire Chinese army had no chance to make meritorious deeds, so everyone could only hold back their energy and participate in subsequent sieges, such as Guangyuan, Jiange, Zitong, Fuxian (today's Mianyang) and other cities along the way.

When this kind of critical battle begins, Wei Xu, the captain of the personal soldiers, has to follow Lu Bu at all times. He cannot go to the front line to kill the enemy, and it is relatively difficult to achieve military exploits.

And based on Wei Xu's level, if it was Lu Bu's turn to take action, he would be the one being protected.

Therefore, although it is difficult to conquer Shu Road now, it is a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

Wei Xu opened his mouth. He was used to following Lu Bu. Everyone usually brags, and it's very satisfying to look at the crotch-twirling beauties cached on Lu Bu's phone.

But now Cao Xing, Song Xian and the two fools have become captains under Guang Luxun, with a rank of more than a thousand stones; Hou Cheng followed Sun Ce to Jiangdong, and their military achievements are like crops waiting to be harvested in the field. As long as the sickle is fast enough, It can be transported home in sacks.

Among them, Cheng Lian, who has the highest martial arts skills, has now become a middle-level member of the imperial court, the number two figure in Honglu Temple, and the Bole Benle in the hearts of countless courtiers and generals.

The good brothers who used to brag and spank together were suddenly the only ones left who were still low-level officers.

Although this time Jia Xu recommended him to be a captain before the account, but in real terms, he was just a captain of the soldiers. If he wanted to be promoted, he could only pave the way with solid military achievements.

Thinking of this, Wei Xu said:

"Brother-in-law, can I take the entire Guards away?"

"Okay, anyway, I will protect you if you stay here. Besides, Hao Zhao has dozens of people here. It's enough to help me give orders... The steel crossbows supported by Muke Village also bring some, one for each person, and infantry armor and so on. , you can take care of it, you can take the supplies as long as it doesn’t affect your journey. "

After all, he is his brother-in-law and his good brother who has followed him all the way from Jiuyuan to now. Lu Bu takes great care of him.

Blood and fire can not only temper military skills, but also allow young people to grow up quickly.

Wei Xu is already over 20 years old, and it's time to lead an army alone and withstand the test.

Once he can adapt to the way of fighting on the Shu Road, which has dangerous terrain and narrow space, Wei Xu can also perform a show when he goes back to attack the Nanman area.

Wei Xu didn't make any stops. He gathered the 300 people in the military camp together, explained the reason, and started to lead everyone to prepare supplies.

However, he did not require everyone to wear foot armor. After all, even if the weight of this thing has been reduced, it is still very difficult to move forward in places like Shu Road.

He asked half of the people to wear infantry armor, and the other half to choose steel crossbows and longbows. Each person wore a pair of protective shoes, and brought another two pairs.

When marching in this kind of place, shoes are crucial.

In addition, he also took cooling oil, outdoor insect repellent liquid, sulfur soap, diarrhea medicine, painkillers, hemostatic medicine, gauze, medical alcohol, etc.

The personal barracks were the capital of Wei Xu's fortune, so he wanted to ensure everyone's safety.

All the equipment was ready. Wei Xu asked the fifty-man scout team to go in front. After he solemnly bid farewell to Lu Bu, he prepared to lead the remaining people forward to pursue Zhang Xiu.

Lu Bu said:

"Tell Zhang Xiu that fighting requires not only force but also brains. After taking Guangyuan, if he performs well, he will be allowed to lead an army to attack Langzhong."

According to the route of Jinniu Road, after arriving in Guangyuan, you can go straight to Zitong along the official road, and then direct your troops towards Fu County.

There is another way to go south along the Jialing River to attack the Cangxi and Langzhong lines. If you capture this place, you can threaten Bazhong in the east, enter Chengdu in Fujian County in the west, and capture Jianwei in the south. This is a typical strategic hub.

Wei Xu bowed his hands and said goodbye:

"I will bring the message to Xiu'er. Brother-in-law, take care. Let's go."

"Go ahead and be safe on the road."

Wei Xu led the military camp and headed south along the plank road repaired by Zhang Xiu.

Lu Bu watched his brother-in-law leave, turned to Hao Zhao and ordered:

"Go and invite Zhang Song. I have something to consult with him."

During this march, Baiguan wanted Zhang Song to stay in Chang'an. He had already made great contributions, so he just needed to study with peace of mind and enjoy the treatment he deserved.

But as a general with a grassroots background, Lu Bu knew very well what the grassroots thought.

He defied all opinions and appointed Zhang Song as the military advisor to attack Yizhou. He also expressed his goodwill many times and was regarded as a confidant by Zhang Song.

Yang Biao was a little confused and asked Lu Bu for the reason. Lu Bu uploaded several pretending and slap-in-the-face online novels to his mobile phone without saying a word. Only then did Yang Taiwei realize that people who have been wronged will find ways to take revenge.

Although Zhang Song lives in Chang'an now, his heart has already flown to Chengdu, and he wants to hang up those who bully him and beat him.

In the original book, after Fazheng captured Chengdu, he took revenge on those who bullied him and killed dozens of people in one day. If Zhang Song had not died at that time, there is a high probability that he would have taken out his anger on the Yizhou family like Fazheng.

Soon, Zhang Song came.

He was wearing a set of official robes customized by the Hanfu Factory. Although he was not tall, his aura was two meters tall.

"General, are you calling me?"

"Yongnian, come and sit down, you're welcome... I just want to ask you, is there anyone you know in Wuding Pass?"

Zhang Song shook his head:

"I don't know anyone. When I passed this checkpoint, all my money was taken away, even my big cloak. I spent the time from Wuding Pass to Hanzhong, begging on the next road, and finally made it to Hanzhong."

Although the area north of Wuding Pass was also nominally owned by Yizhou, several people had been conquering the Shu Road starting from Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew until Huang Wan took control of Hanzhong.

At that time, there were only a few Shu roads, and the best one to take was the Jinniu Road, which was the road Liu Bei took when he fought the Battle of Hanzhong.

As for the Micang Road that Zhuge Liang later chose for the Northern Expedition, it was mainly because after the population of Hanzhong was moved away by Cao Cao, Hanzhong became a white land and even the civilians could not recruit.

Zhuge Liang wanted to expedition to the north, so he could only mobilize people from within Yizhou.

The area near Chengdu is the basic base and the main source of food and grass. It cannot be moved, so the population in Bazhong can only be adjusted.

Bazhong is just south of Hanzhong, just within walking distance of Micang Road.

However, it should be said that Jinniu Road can still carry some baggage, while Micang Road relies solely on manpower. All the food and grass for the Northern Expedition army were carried bit by bit by civilians.

Hearing Zhang Song say that he had no acquaintance, Lu Bu took the walkie-talkie, switched it to high-power mode, and contacted Zhang Xiu:

"We don't have any of our own people at Wuding Pass. You can fight as you want. Use the supplies as needed. We must try to reduce the damage to our soldiers as much as possible."

Soon, Zhang Xiu's response came from the intercom:

"Come on, if there are any acquaintances in the next level, please let Mr. Yongnian know in advance to avoid accidentally injuring one of our own."

Lu Bu agreed and ended the chat.

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Zhang Song carefully took out an eight-inch tablet computer from his cloth bag, clicked on it and said:

"General, I have done some research in the past few days and found that National Highway 108 in the real world is completely designed according to the Jinniu Road. Our marching route can also be arranged similarly. What do you think?"

Lu Bu smiled and said:

"That's how we got here. Most of the national highways in the real world follow ancient routes, such as Micang Road, which is National Highway 244. It's just a difference of nearly two thousand years. Some of the landforms are different. We have to look at it from a dialectical perspective. Come and see.”

As they advanced along the Jinniu Road, Jia Xu led the students from the military academy and rushed to Hanzhong.

As soon as he got off the carriage, Jia Xu ignored the pleasantries and said to Huang Wan:

"Prepare a big yard for us, with more rooms, and a big house where we can put a topographic map."

Upon hearing this, Huang Wan directly expropriated the house of a wealthy family in Hanzhong. The other party was not very cooperative at first, but when Huang Wan came up with the title deed of a mansion in Chang'an, the other party readily agreed and even thoughtfully left some money behind. Food, for fear that these officials would regret it.

When the family vacated their house and moved the whole family to Chang'an, the military cadets stationed in the yard of his house, laid solar panels on the roof, and connected the inverter.

Electric lights were connected to each room, all the beds in the main hall were removed, moisture-proof mats were laid, the electronic sand table was properly installed, a huge map of Yizhou was hung on the wall, and a command room sign was hung at the door.

Next to the command room is the communications room. More than twenty communications soldiers sit in it, responsible for answering intercom requests from various places. There are also a few scholars sitting in the corner, responsible for recording all communication contents.

In addition, dormitories, canteens, leisure areas, etc. are all divided in detail.

Several wind turbines were set up on the mound outside the yard, and two emergency diesel generators were placed in the backyard to ensure that there is electricity around the clock.

Soon, the entire courtyard was transformed into a frontline command center for the attack on Yizhou.

Jia Xu tested the walkie-talkie and told Lu Bu to build a signal tower every 100 kilometers. He couldn't just focus on attacking and forget about communication.

Although we are just attacking Yizhou, we don't need to be so cautious, but after all, there are Zhang Ren, Yan Yan and other famous generals in Shu, and there is also Gan Ning in Baling, so we still can't be careless, otherwise it will easily capsize in the gutter.

Hande brought a bowl of honey water to Jia Xu and asked carefully:

"Sir, we have learned many battle examples and methods of killing enemies from you. Can we go to Sichuan this time..."

Jia Xu took the bowl and took a sip, then pointed to the huge map on the wall with a smile:

"Where is east of Hanzhong?"

"Ankang...oh no, it's Xicheng. Ankang is the name in the real world."

"Now Xu Huang from Wancheng is leading his troops to march westward, preparing to open up the front from Nanyang County to Hanzhong County. After you are familiar with the environment here, I will allow you to lead your troops eastward to welcome Xu Gongming, and by the way, give the direction to Jingzhou Apply some pressure."

Once this route is opened, we can attack Jingzhou in a roundabout way from the depths of the mountains. We can even use the danger of the Han River to directly flood Xiangyang for Liu Biao.

Anyway, as long as the county seat around Xicheng is captured, Jingzhou Liu Biao will panic.

Jia Xu regarded the attack on Yizhou as his final battle in the Three Kingdoms world. Since it was the final battle, Liu Jingsheng couldn't express his gratitude by sending a flower basket?

Xiangyang is the flower basket that Jia Xu likes.

Hearing the promise of leading troops, Han De was extremely happy:

"Thank you sir, we will fight bravely to defeat the enemy and restore the glory of the Han Dynasty!"

After saying that, he went out to share the good news with his classmates.

Jia Xu sat down and opened a document on the computer, which contained plans for the first half of this year.

Capture Yizhou, consolidate Liangzhou, open up the Western Region, merge the states with the Northern Expedition, eliminate Yuan Shao, capture Jizhou, regain Youzhou, frighten Yingchuan, open up the situation in Jiangdong, frighten Liaodong, etc.

Almost the entire north is within Lao Jia's plan.

If someone else made such a full-blown battle plan, they would most likely be ridiculed, but Lao Jia had already considered all factors when formulating the plan.

"In the past, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty spent five and a half years to conquer the entire land of China twice. Now that we have strong soldiers and horses, if we continue to pacify the north like in the original work of the Three Kingdoms, it will take more than ten years to pacify the north. Then wouldn't Mr. Li's support be in vain?"

Jia Xu took a sip of honey water to moisten her throat a little, then picked up a ballpoint pen and wrote a line on the note pad:

"When we capture Yecheng, we must let Yuan Shao die among the rebels and not give the officials a chance to plead for mercy."

After finishing writing, he folded the note and handed it to Wei Yan who was standing next to him:

"Send it to the communications room and tell General Yuwen to hold on tight. Yuan Shao must not keep it."

After saying that, he spread out his notepad again and was about to pick up the pen to write. After thinking about it, he picked up the walkie-talkie on the table, selected encrypted call, and dialed 120, which represents the Guo Jia band:

"Once there is news of Yuan Shao's death, we will publish the articles we prepared before and nail Yuan Shao to the pillar of shame. By the way, we will see if anyone pays homage to Yuan Shao privately. If so, we will pay close attention to it."

"Okay, I will!"

Guo Jia agreed, put away the walkie-talkie, and asked Tian Feng next to him:

"Brother Yuan Hao, if we kill Yuan Shao like this, will you be angry?"

Tian Feng was summarizing the laws that were about to be implemented with Mao Jie. When he heard Guo Jia's question, he didn't even raise his head:

"Rebellious minister and traitor, what does his life and death have to do with me? I read the original work three times, but I still can't figure out why I am so obsessed with Yuan Shao. This may be the pattern that His Highness the Holy Son mentioned. Once the pattern is opened, what Yuan Shao did will be revealed. Because, it’s really not worth so many people’s service... The influence of the aristocratic family is too great, so our new laws have put some restrictions on the aristocratic family. "

Xun Yu, who was sitting opposite the desk, reminded:

"The method should be gentle, not too drastic, so as not to arouse the opposition of the family."

"Don't worry Wen Ruo, we will take care of it."

Hebei Region, Yecheng, Yuwen Chengdu is sitting in the camp, preparing to use drones to drop some solid incendiary bombs into the military camp in the city at night to put some pressure on Yuan Shao.

If there is no movement, we will assemble the loudspeaker for shouting and let Song Xian use it to see if he can scold Yuan Shao.

While he was contemplating this matter, a golden light flashed in the barracks, and Zhang Daoling walked in with a camera.

When Yuwen Chengdu saw it, he quickly stood up and saluted:

"I've seen the Heavenly Master!"

"You're welcome. His Royal Highness the Son of God has asked Pindao to have everyone who knows Blacksmith Zhao shoot a video to wish him good luck on his engagement. Can General Yuwen shoot it now?"

Yu Wencheng didn’t expect Zhao Dahu to get engaged so soon, and said with a smile:

"Okay, should I stand or sit?"

"Sit down, sit in your commander's seat, relax a little, are you familiar with Zhao the blacksmith?"

"I am familiar with him. The armor and weapons on my body were all made by him."

After chatting for a while, Yuwen Chengdu said a lot of blessings to the camera, and apologized for not being able to attend. Finally, he took out two pieces of Linzhi gold and handed them to Zhang Daoling:

"Please ask the Heavenly Master to pass it to you, sir, and ask him to help me with a gift... What did others give?"

"Zhang Fei gave a set of armor, saying that it would not hurt to wear it when being beaten; Zhao Yun gave a pair of porcelain, wishing Zhao Zilong of Yinzhou a happy family; the richest one was Shan Xiongxin, who directly gave ten ingots of gold, each weighing fifty taels!"

Yuwen Chengdu: "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Shan Xiongxin is indeed a man of great righteousness. He gave so much money directly. Is it enough for the big bearded man to spend for a lifetime?

The temperature has dropped suddenly recently, and I seem to have become yang again. I feel dizzy and have a headache. I took a Contac in the afternoon and I don’t feel so bad, but I’m so sleepy. I will update once for now, brothers. I have to adjust my body... This happened during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Should I praise Chang’e in the book?
