Shu Chen

Chapter 439

Needless to say, the importance of food and fodder in marching and conquest.

Not to mention the battle of Guandu in the past, Yuan Shao's army was defeated after Wei Wu Cao Cao attacked Wuchao.

Taking today's big Han as an example, if there is no constraint of lack of food and fodder, the prime minister would have already sent his troops into Guanzhong to order to return to the old capital just around the corner!
However, when Jiang Wei and Zhang Bao listened to Gu Lian's words, not only did they not have the slightest joy of knowing the chance of victory in the battle, but they were full of doubts.

Without him, the hoarding of food and fodder against Wei is all on the east bank of the river!

It didn't take much thinking to know that with the strength of Ji Saiduoman's mere hundreds of miscellaneous Hus, it was impossible to burn down the food storage area against Wei alone.And if you lead the Han army in?
How different is this from the usual trick of swindling the enemy to go deep! ?

Don't look at Gulian's offer of Wei Guo's defensive deployment on Mingsha Mountain, which seems to be full of sincerity.

But in the past, Zhou Bream went deep into Shiting to make money for Cao Xiu, and he did not hesitate to cut off his hair, and the thief Ke Wu, in order to lure Li Yan into Zhiyang County, did not hesitate to kill his eldest son!In order to lure the enemy to go deep, so what if Ni Wei revealed the deployment to the Han army?

Besides, even if the big man knows the secrets of the siege, it will not increase the odds of winning~
"The sincerity of the leader of your ministry to abandon Wei and enter Han can be demonstrated by the sun and the moon!"

Without hesitating to praise, Jiang Wei still had a gurgling smile on his face, but his eyes were already faintly flickering under the darkness of night, "However, the place where Wei Niwei hoards grain is on the bank of the Great River and will definitely be guarded with heavy troops. The leaders of the Ministry should cooperate with the outside, and it is difficult to find an opportunity to cross the river. Furthermore, if this matter is a little careless, it may implicate your Ministry in the footsteps of the Corps Chasing Ministry! Before we have a certainty, our army does not want to put your Ministry in danger also!"

"General Renyi, I thank you on behalf of the leader of my department!"

Hearing this, Gu Lian immediately stood up and worshiped, and before Jiang Wei came to help him, he raised his head and made a decisive voice, "General, before I escaped into Qu Wu Mountain, the leader of my family and the great witch all claimed that after the clan entered the military system of Wei State, they would definitely welcome them." In the future, the fate of all casualties made me seek your army for a chance of survival. Therefore, our department is willing to escape from the tyranny of Wei State with life and death, and how to let your army cross the river, our big witch already has an idea."

"Oh?"

Jiang Wei slightly raised his eyebrows. Although he was already wary and suspicious of his intentions, he still nodded in a friendly manner, "I would like to hear more about it."

"General Han, it's like this"

Gu Lian, who got the approval, didn't notice the abnormality, and continued to talk on his own.

It was a crude but well-organized plan.

First, although all the members of Jisai Doman's tribe have been transferred back to Fang Dingxi City, after winter, Deng Ai will definitely transfer them back to Mingsha Mountain again, and they will not travel repeatedly in the future.

The reason is that their families are all under the blade of Wei Jun, and Wei Jun doesn't think they are daring to be presumptuous.

Now being transferred away, it's just that the Wei army just slaughtered the corpses and forced them to be incorporated into the military system, and then encountered the Han army's invasion, just in case.

In addition, after winter, drudgery such as transporting grain and fodder will fall on Zahu and the nearby Qianghu tribe.

In Wei's military system, there is no explicit distinction between grades, grades, grades, grades, grades, grades, grades, and grades, but the elite from the Kanto region would disdain to join forces with the border scumbags, and the border troops often have contempt for the Qiang and Hu tribes.

These miscellaneous Hus who were thrown to Wei Guo by Liu Bao were nothing more than servant soldiers in the eyes of Wei Guo.

The hard work in the army naturally fell on them.

The other is that they had a way for the Han army to capture the Wei army's camp in Quwu Mountain and seize the pontoon bridge.

A tribe that has bred on the grassland for generations, the identity of the big witch is aloof.

It is not only a priest who communicates with God and the sun and the moon, but also a healer who finds herbs to treat diseases for the tribe.

If it is cured, it is a doctor, if it is not cured, it is a witch, and it is enough to directly claim that the sick person has committed a crime against God and will not be forgiven by God.

But it is undeniable that the big witch is familiar with many poisonous plants such as horse tripe intestines, aconitum, chamaejasma chamaejasma and elixir.

Therefore, Ji Saiduoman and the great witch conspired to secretly collect poisonous plants and grind them into powder when they return to Dingxi City. After being transferred to Mingsha Mountain, they can poison the people in the camp. The Wei army temporarily lost its combat effectiveness, and joined forces with the Han army inside and outside to occupy both the camp and the pontoon bridge in one fell swoop!

Of course, it is not easy to tamper with food in the military, and one needs to wait for an opportunity.

Therefore, if they find an opportunity and succeed, they will hang the tribe's wolfskin flag on the southeast corner of the camp as a message, indicating that the Han army can attack the camp.

After talking dryly, Gu Lian picked up the water bag and moistened his throat, quietly waiting for Jiang Wei and Zhang Bao's decision.

But Jiang Wei was noncommittal.

After pondering for a while, he asked, "If things come to fruition, what does your ministry want?"

"Go back to the Han family general, I don't have much to ask for!"

Mentioning this, Gu Lian's eyes burned for a moment, "Our department previously attached to the thief Liu Bao, and stayed in Xiutuze for a period of time, so we also know the conditions for the Han army to accept the vassal. The leader of our department claimed that only the Han army The army does not enlist members of the clan to join the army, other treatment is as good as vassals! Well, after my department settles down, I will definitely pay the imperial court tribute cattle and sheep as scheduled!"

"Your Ministry is asking for so little?"

Before Jiang Wei could speak, Zhang Bao asked directly.

No wonder he was surprised.

Who would have expected that Zahu, who has always been greedy and despicable, risked his family's life just to seek safety?
The Gu Lian who was asked showed a wry smile, and said in a low voice, "The great witch said that our department has nowhere to go, and only your army can let us pass on. Moreover, when your country arranges vassals, it will paint pastures and give cattle and sheep. , if my department is greedy again, I am afraid that it will not be easy to gain a foothold in the future."

Alas!
I don't want a great witch from a small tribe of Hus to be prepared for danger in times of peace!
There was a trace of strangeness in Zhang Bao's eyes.

"I have always been a big man with clear rewards and punishments, and I have never treated Han and Hu differently."

Jiang Wei waved his hand and said solemnly, "If your ministry helps our army succeed, the imperial court will definitely not treat you lightly! However, I am puzzled why the leader of your ministry and the great witch intend to burn down the food store near Quwu Mountain instead of The mansion adjacent to Mingsha Mountain?"

When Gu Lian heard this, his face showed embarrassment.

After hesitating for a while, he said in a very soft voice, "The women and children of our tribe are now placed near this mansion by the State of Wei to herd war horses, cattle and sheep."

It turned out that they were worried that the Han army would only use them and not fulfill the agreement between the two parties.

If all goes well, after the Han army occupies the Wei army camp and burns the grain and fodder, they will find various reasons to shirk and not send troops to escort their families, women and children into the Han territory.

"Heh~~"

Jiang Wei laughed uncontrollably, "Don't lie to the strong men, our army's food and supplies are worrying, and it's not time to send troops to Mingsha Mountain. However, since your department has the heart to help the Han Dynasty, I will write a letter and ask the prime minister to make a decision. Well, late at night Come on, strong man, go and rest."

"what"

Gu Lian opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something more, but in the end he followed his words and saluted to thank him, and was lured away to rest by the pawns beside him.

As soon as his figure disappeared into the night, Zhang Bao couldn't wait to ask, "Bo Yue thinks, is this person trustworthy?"
