Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 747 Gao Shun's Discrimination

Gao Shun nodded with satisfaction when he saw this: "Bo Yang said well, Mr. will seek stability in his life, and he will not blame him if he is slower. If Mr. really wants to abdicate, I will bear it all by myself."

"Sir, I won't blame you." Shamoke joked with a smile.

With Lan Yuan and Gao Shun as guarantors, no one believes that Lan Tian will be held accountable over time.

While Yu Fan nodded in agreement, he noticed that the soldiers lined up next to him were holding spears, so he frowned and said: "The soldiers are marching in full armor, which will not only affect the speed of marching, but also make the body tired. I suggest that you take off your armor and go into battle lightly. The armor can be taken away by General Li's sea boat, and it won't be too late to put on the armor before Hengshan Pass, the temperature will be higher the further south you go."

Sha Moke's Wuxi barbarians wore light leather armor, and Gao Shun's entrapment army put on heavy armor as before. Not long after the army entered Hepu, someone proposed to march lightly.

This proposal was finally rejected by Gao Shun, because most of the [-] soldiers he brought were newly recruited recruits who had not actually fought. He did not want these recruits to develop a lazy style. To temper the will of the soldiers trapped in the formation, to regard every moment as a battle.

Although the soldiers in the army focused on foot armor, they marched at the same speed as the barbarians in Wuxi. Passing through Hepu, Jiaozhi, and Jiuzhen gave the local soldiers and civilians a strong visual stimulation. Powerful and extraordinary.

Gao Shun's "showing off his power" along the way is also Lan Tian's meaning. He believes that this will help defeat others without fighting.

"Master Yu, don't try to persuade me. General Gao's military order is like a mountain. They marched with their armor in the formation, and the speed is not much less than my son." Sha Moke shook his head.

"I have my own concerns about this matter, so you don't need to persuade me anymore." Gao Shun would not let outsiders interfere in the affairs of the army, and after refusing Yu Fan, he told Li Yi: "The scholars' family warmly received us along the way and delayed our marching time. After leaving Xupu, we will advance at full speed, and we are expected to arrive at Hengshan Pass on the fifth day, and the soldiers are expected to approach Bijing City on the sixth day, General Li can lead the water army to march southward slowly, and join the army at the seaside before sunset every day."

"Wei." Li Yi clasped his fists and nodded.

Li Yi knew his own position. He was here to provide logistics for the Southern Expedition Army. Since Lin Yiguo was very backward and couldn't produce a warship at all, his [-] sailors had a high probability of becoming stevedores.

Hundreds of large ships were filled with food, medicines, arrows, siege vehicles and other things. Hundreds of professors and students from Guangzhou Medical College were transferred on board.

"General Gao, what they said is actually reasonable. After driving such a long distance, we will continue to fight after passing the Hengshan Pass. In fact, it can relax the soldiers and unload the hundreds of tanks on the ship. Water transport, grain transport, and armor are all good, but at worst, you can change to remove the armor." Lan Yuan also made a suggestion.

Gao Shun stroked his beard and nodded: "The purpose of showing military might has been achieved. Boyang's suggestion is very feasible. The mules and horses sent by the scholars can be used to pull carts. The soldiers are not afraid of fighting at any time even if they are in the army."

All the generals thought that Gao Shun would refuse, but he, who was always serious, nodded his head happily. It seems that the difference lies in who made the suggestion.

Lan Yuan was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly said to Li Yi: "General Li, please unload the hundred chariots from the ship."

"Wei." The army pays attention to the status of high and low, and Li Yi's respect for Lan Yuan did not arouse the resentment of outsiders, and everyone took it for granted.

Li Yi's military rank at the moment is General Bo, and his rank is slightly higher than that of Lanyuan's Zhonglang, but everyone can see the intention of this Southern Expedition, to accumulate military merits for Lanyuan through this battle, even though Lanyuan is only a fallen army The first battalion of Sima is equivalent to the deputy commander-in-chief of this ten-thousand-thousand coalition army.

The so-called chariot in Lanyuankou was improved and strengthened based on the Tiger Shooting Chariot captured by Sun Quan. However, due to the severe shortage of horses in Jiaozhou, the specifications of the Guangzhou chariot were smaller than those of the Ming Dynasty.

The army and Wuxi barbarians are all infantry, and only generals, scouts, and scouts are equipped with horses, so there is no plan to use chariots for this southern expedition. Lan Yuan temporarily moved the chariots to the boat, worried that the sea would be too stormy It can be used as a luggage. In order to establish Lanyuan's prestige, Gao Shun will basically accept his opinions.

Every time the Southern Expedition Army passed by a city, the scholar family prepared a wealth of labor supplies, from Gaoliang to Hepu, from Longbian to Xupu. At this time, there were four to five hundred mules and carriages following behind.

The chariot was unloaded from the ship, and Lan Yuan weaved the mules and horses that pulled the cart separately into a load of four horses. Gao Shun let the soldiers unarmed in batches, and put the weapons, armor, drinking water, and food in the carriage.

Everyone parted ways in Xupu, Gao Shun led the land army to continue southward, and the trapped soldiers obviously outpaced the Wuxi barbarians because they went into battle lightly.

Seeing this, Sha Moke couldn't help but sigh with emotion. After all, they were soldiers trained by Gao Boping. They can fight, and they have also learned to build houses and cities over the years. It can be said that each has its own strengths.

Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen County, and Rinan County in this era all belonged to the territory of Vietnam in later generations. The terrain was narrow and long along the coastline. The reason for this strange shape is because there is a towering Annan Mountains in the west.

The eastern side of the Annan Mountains is extremely steep, and the long and narrow Jiuzhen and Nichinan counties are mostly mountainous forests to the west, while the east is relatively flat near the sea.

Due to the scarcity of arable land, most of the people in the two places make a living by fishing and hunting. The cities and population are basically concentrated on the east coast side. Gao Shun also set the marching route on the official road along the east coast. It is convenient for replenishment, so whenever you encounter a river, you need to store a lot of fresh water.

The army went south through Wubian and Xianhuan counties. Gao Shun's army lost free supplies. Fortunately, the accompanying fleet had enough food and there was no river to collect fresh water for a long time. Enter the dense forest in the west to find water sources, and strictly enforce the requirement of not drinking raw water in Lantian.

Ancient soldiers were prone to acclimatization, mostly due to the imbalance of intestinal flora caused by drinking raw water, what's more, the water contained a large number of parasites, which would damage the intestinal tract and cause serious diseases, and boiling it to drink would basically eliminate acclimatization .

Four days after setting off from Xupu, the Southern Expeditionary Army marched ten miles north of Hengshan Mountain to the dividing point between Jiuzhen County and Rinan County.

After Lin Yiguo killed the Han officials and became independent, in view of the weakness of the scholars, they continued to encroach on the north, and finally occupied Hengshan Pass in the south of Japan.

After District Jin detained Wang Shi, a businessman from the South China Sea, he stationed a thousand-strong army at Hengshan Pass to guard against death. Political exchanges between Jiuzhen and Nichinan were completely closed, with only a small amount of non-governmental activities and exchanges between merchants.

"General, the occupiers at Hengshan Pass are under strict investigation. Are we going to attack them by force? Or contact General Li and go around by sea boat?" Sima Chuqing of the reconnaissance battalion clasped his fists and asked for instructions.
