Chapter 848 Survival in the Wild
After the Yangtze River Water War, Gan Ning was repelled by the Western Shang Empire and stationed in Xiling.

Xiling is on the edge of the Neijiang River.

From there to Fancheng, it is only about three hundred miles away.

Xu Ding also just remembered that there is still a navy that can be mobilized.

but
Gan Ning's navy was still using cold weapons, which were much inferior to the enemy's firearms.

Once encountering a large number of enemies, I am afraid that Neijiang still cannot be defended.

Xu Ding pondered for a while, and ordered: "The construction of the navy cannot be neglected. Feng Xiao, you go to the arsenal to have a look. Give half of the remaining guns, artillery, grenades, and grenades to Gan Ning."

Guo Jia smiled and said: "In this way, the strength of General Gan's navy will increase a lot."

"If you stick to Neijiang in this way, you will be more sure."

"Go make arrangements."

"promise."

Guo Jia turned and left.

at this time.

In Hanzhong Nanzheng County.

Cao Cao's career has also flourished.

Originally, he was captured by Jia Xu in Chang'an, and the main force was defeated by Xu Ding, and he was almost defeated.

At the critical moment, Sima Yi came to vote.

Help him capture Xiliang in a short period of time.

After that, Zhang Lu was eliminated and Hanzhong was taken down.

Hanzhong is the gateway to Yizhou, and has always been a battleground for military strategists.

When Han Gaozu Liu Bang and Xiang Yu competed for the world, it was from Hanzhong that they defeated Xiang Yu and achieved hegemony.

Cao Cao won Hanzhong now, and Sima Yi assisted him
In addition, Xu Ding was held back by the Western Shang Empire, and Liu Zhang in Yizhou was weak and incompetent, and it was time for him to achieve his great cause.

In the government office.

Cao Cao and Sima Yi are studying a map.

Cao Ren came in from the outside: "My lord..." Cao Cao is no longer the prime minister, and all civil and military officials are called lords.

"What's the matter?"

"All the battalions have finished their training, my lord, do you want to give me a lecture?"

"No need." Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Go let the soldiers recuperate for a few days, and take out all the wine and meat we have saved. When the soldiers are full, they are ready to enter Yizhou."

"promise."

Cao Ren was about to leave.

Sima Yi stopped him and asked, "General Cao Ren, how many of Zhang Lu's defeated troops do we have?"

Cao Ren replied: "Mr. Zhongda, you don't know yet. Zhang Lu's defeated army is not many. After we were incorporated, the total number of soldiers in each battalion was only [-]."

"Ah."

Sima Yi responded and signaled Cao Ren to retreat.

"Zhongda, are you worried that our troops are too small to defeat Liu Zhang?" Cao Cao asked.

"yes.."

Sima Yi said: "Yizhou, where Liu Zhang is located, has [-] elite garrisons. Yizhou's twelve counties are rich in land and food. Not only can he confront us head-on, but he can also defend against danger and fight for a long time."

"On the other hand, we only have [-] regular troops, and we have to keep [-] to defend Hanzhong. Only [-] can really participate in the battle of Yizhou."

"The disparity in military strength is too great, and it may be difficult to win."

Cao Cao said: "Before coming to Hanzhong, Zhongda said it. First take Xiliang, and then take Hanzhong as the foundation. After that, he sent his army to the south and formed a situation of separatism. What is it now?"

"My lord, I misunderstood. I haven't changed my mind. I'm just a little worried." Sima Yi walked over and said, "Although Liu Zhang's army is larger than ours, he seldom participates in battles. The generals of the Yizhou army also They are some pampered nobles, how can they compare with the lord."

"Since you know our army is elite, why worry about it?"

Cao Cao had long thought that Liu Zhang's troops could not even defeat Zhang Lu.It has been invaded by Zhang Lu, and several counties were ceded to Zhang Lu last year.

Can be imagined.

How useless Liu Zhang's generals are.

And he, with more than 3 troops, came from Xiliang.He defeated Zhang Lu in a decisive manner, and incorporated Zhang Lu's army of nearly 1.There are more than [-] local troops.

Now that the two armies are united, [-] elite troops will be sent to the south, and Sima Yi, a military advisor who is well versed in the art of war, will be invincible?
For this battle, Cao Cao is very confident.

Sima Yi said: "Since my lord has made up his mind, he will dispatch troops as soon as possible. In case Liu Zhang is on guard."

"Well, I've already made up my mind. Three days later, let Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan lead an army to capture Jiange Pass! As long as we capture Jiange, our army will be able to enter Shu Road and Yizhou."

"I don't recommend sending surprise soldiers. The battle between the lord and Zhang Lu has been over two months. No matter how stupid Liu Zhang is, he should know the lord's ambition. Maybe the counties in Yizhou are not prepared yet, but Jiange Pass must be heavily guarded. If we want to take it, we need to march steadily and step by step in order to be invincible."

Speaking of this, Sima Yi said again: "My lord, don't forget that the Jiange Pass is extremely dangerous, and there are countless mountains around it. Even if tens of thousands of troops are hidden, they will not show their traces. If we send out a surprise soldier, once we fall, the whole army will die." will surely perish."

"Okay, as you say."

Cao Cao didn't argue with him, but readily agreed.

At this time.

A soldier came in and handed Cao Cao a letter.

After Cao Cao saw it, he was very excited: "Okay, Xu Ding agreed to form an alliance with us. We don't have to worry about being attacked by him anymore. Moreover, we can keep the land of Xiliang."

"Congratulations, lord."

Sima Yi was also very excited.

Before, he believed that Xiliang was barren and difficult to defend.

Cao Cao only left a few thousand underdogs there, and even the local aliens were hard to deter.He has persuaded Cao Cao many times, withdrew his troops from Xiliang, and made every effort to develop Hanzhong.

Unexpectedly, Xu Ding didn't even want Xiliang, and agreed to form an alliance.

"It seems that Xu Ding is tired of dealing with the attack of the Western Shang Empire. He has no extra experience to fight with us. That's also good, we can free up our hands and concentrate on dealing with Liu Zhang." Sima Yi said.

"Hahaha."

Cao Cao laughed from ear to ear.

He immediately replied a letter to Xu Ding.

According to the previous promise, it is emphasized again that in the fall of next year, [-] troops will be sent to the Central Plains to assist in the war.

Three days later.

Cao Cao left Xun Yu to defend Hanzhong, and sent local troops to take over Xiliang.He, Sima Yi, Cao Ren, Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan and others led [-] elite troops to Jiangeguan, the gate of Yizhou.

A close offensive and defensive battle will start in Yizhou.

Xuchang.

It is promised to teach for many days.

Military academies have entered a critical stage of teaching.

Xu Ding spent three days explaining to Guo Jia the combat philosophy of the new army.Guo Jia will be in charge of all future courses until he graduates from the Military Academy.

During the training during this period, more than 100 special forces were eliminated. ''

Only 440 are left who are truly qualified.

They were selected and eliminated again and again before they stayed.

Definitely the cream of the crop.

this day.

Xu Ding led them towards the east of Xuchang.

45 miles east, into a mountain range.

This mountain range is the largest in Yanyu and Yuzhou, extending all the way to Xuzhou.

Why come here.

It is to complete an important skill of special forces training, survival in the wild!

As a special soldier, no matter under any conditions, he can survive.

The mountains in front of them are the best place to train them.

in the evening.

Xu Ding led them to the edge of the mountain range.

Camp there.

"Your Majesty, there is a letter from General Lu Xun." Dian Wei hurried into the tent.

"Bring it."

Xu decided to open the letter and read it.

The letter stated that the advance first division he brought had already controlled Qiaojun and was confronting the enemy's forces.

Although the enemy's weapons are advanced, and their range and penetration are far superior to those of the past, they will not break through Qiao County in a short time.

"With Lu Xun guarding Qiao County, I can rest assured."

Xu Ding put the letter away.

Dian Wei said: "Does Your Majesty trust Lu Xun so much? He is Sun Jian's general."

"Since when did you worry about it?"

"The last general is not careless. It's just worrying."

"worry about what?"

Dian Wei laughed and said: "The last general doesn't understand any major principles, but he still knows the word loyalty. Lu Xun was originally loyal to Sun Jian, and after a letter from the lord, he was recruited to Xuchang and entrusted with important use. Lu Xun never expressed his loyalty. How can you be loyal to His Majesty without being loyal to Sun Jian?"

"What you said is too arbitrary. Why can't Lu Xun be loyal to me?" Xu Ding patted Dianwei on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't think too much, I know what's in my heart."

"Yes."

Dian Wei retreated respectfully.

The next day.

The sun rose from the east, illuminating the mountains ahead red.

It looks like the weather is fine today.

Xu Ding got up, took a shower, and ate something.

Together with Dian Wei, go to the camp to summon the special forces.

440 people assembled very quickly.

Xu Ding stood in front of them and said, "Today's training subject is survival in the wild. There are 440 of you present, divided into four teams."

"The first team, named Feng, captain Hong Tian."

"The second team, named Lin, captain Dong Wu."

"The third team, named Huo, captain Sun Yan."

"The fourth team, named Shan, captain Li Zhen."

"The selection of captains is based on your training results these days. They are only serving as captains temporarily, which does not mean that they will continue to be captains in the future, because if your results can surpass them, then you will be the captains. .”

When Xu Ding announced the captain's appointment just now, everyone was a little disappointed.

Now he is full of energy.

"report!"

"Say."

A soldier standing in the first row of the wind team said, "Instructor, Fenglin Huo, does it have a meaning?"

"Your question is very good." Xu Ding said: "Fenglin Volcano means that it is as swift as the wind, as slow as the forest, as ravaging as the fire, and immovable as the mountain."

"This sentence comes from the chapter of Sun Tzu's Art of War. It is the key to our special forces members. I hope that each of you can do it. In future wars, be as fast as the wind, as Xu as the forest, as fast as the fire, and as immobile. Like a mountain."

"Yes!"

The soldier shouted back.

After Xu Ding finished his inspection, he continued: "The so-called field survival training means that you only carry dry food and water for one day, and carry weapons, but you cannot use weapons. Enter the mountain range in front of you and survive for fifteen days."

"If you can come back alive, you will pass the test."

"However, I have to set a few rules for you. Except that you can't use weapons, you can't make fire, and you can't speak loudly. I will send four imperial guards to follow you. Your every move is under their supervision. Once you violate the rules, In light cases, they will be expelled from the special forces team, and in severe cases, they will be punished by military law."

"Do you understand everything?"

"Understood." The soldiers were still recalling Xu Ding's words just now, and the more they recalled, the more bitter they looked.

Carry only one day's dry food, but have to survive in the mountains for ten days.

You can't use weapons, you can't make fire, so what do you eat?
Even if you hit the prey with bare hands, you can only eat raw?
"Didn't eat? Louder!" Xu Ding shouted.

"Understood!"

Everyone roared.

"Let's go!" Xu Ding waved his hand.

The captain of Fenglin Huo led his team into the mountains.

"Dian Wei."

"exist."

Xu Ding ordered: "Send four Imperial Forest Army soldiers to follow them into the mountain and record everything truthfully. Oh, by the way, provide them with enough food and water, otherwise they won't survive for fifteen days."

"promise."

Dian Wei obeyed the order.

The special forces entered the mountains and would not be able to return until fifteen days later.

Xu Ding will not enter the mountain again.

You can't wait for fifteen days outside the mountain.

He took Dian Wei and all the Imperial Forest Army, about 500 people, to Qiao County.

I'm going to see how Lu Xun guards the city.

Compared with Guo Jia, Jia Xu, and Zhuge Liang, is his talent stronger or weaker?
this day.

Lu Xun's third brigade of the first division spotted Xu Ding's Imperial Forest Army and came from the west.

They immediately reported to Lu Xun.

When Lu Xun received the news, he didn't dare to neglect in the slightest.

He took the guard battalion and rushed to the western defense line to meet Xu Ding.

click click
Xu Ding came in a military vehicle.

high speed.

The first step to the outside of the line of defense.

Ma Zhen, head of the Seventh Regiment of the Third Brigade stationed there, went to see him.

But
Ma Zhen was ordered to garrison here, and Lu Xun had told him that no one should be allowed to enter the line of defense.Even if Xu Ding came, he couldn't let go, otherwise he would be punished as collaborating with the enemy.

This was said by Lu Xun himself, and Ma Zhen did not dare to disobey the military order.

However, Xu Ding is the emperor of the Huaxia Kingdom, and he came to inspect. How could he, a small regiment leader, stop him?

He neither dared to disobey Lu Xun's order, nor dared to stop Xu Ding, so he was in a dilemma.

He could only delay as long as possible, hoping that Lu Xun would come soon.

As long as Lu Xun comes, it's none of his business.

"The last general greets His Majesty." Ma Zhen knelt on the ground.

"Exemption."

Xu Ding didn't get out of the car, but raised his hand and said, "Open the road ahead, I'm going to Qiaojun City."

"Your Majesty, can you wait a moment, General Lu will be here soon. He said he would welcome His Majesty." Ma Zhen said.

"No, I'll go to Qiaojun City by myself. Open the way." Xu Ding said.

"His Majesty.."

"You brat, why are you talking so much, open the way quickly!" Dian Wei said angrily.

Ma Zhen's face changed slightly, and he knelt down and said, "Forgive me, Your Majesty. General Lu said that no one can be put in the line of defense. Otherwise, he will be punished as collaborating with the enemy, and the general dare not."

"Is that even including me?"

"Yes." Ma Zhen replied truthfully.

"Bold!" Dian Wei was furious: "How dare you disobey His Majesty, do you not want to live?"

Dian Wei had already got out of the car and stepped forward to beat Ma Zhen.

Xu Ding stopped Dianwei: "Forget it, it doesn't matter if we wait. Don't break the rules of the First Division."

"Your Majesty, this..." Dian Wei didn't understand why Xu Ding would accommodate a small group leader.

The head of the regiment only manages 1000 people, which is not as good as the school lieutenant in the old army.

Those with low authority can be ignored.

Xu Ding can kill the leader if he wants.No one dared to stop by force.
