The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 104 Jiangyou is ahead ([-])

Late October 263 AD.The northwest edge of Zitong County in the Shu Han Dynasty.A troop of more than 10 people is struggling to move forward in the steep mountains.

Deng Ai's army has been climbing the mountains for more than 20 days.

"Huh~~~ Send an order, the scout team will continue to move forward. The Chinese army will stop and rest for an hour!"

"Here!"

After the messenger ran away, Deng Ai summoned the main generals of the team, including Shi Zuan, Tian Xu, Qian Hong, Yang Xin, Qian Hong, and Wang Qi.

"How far is the rear army from our team now?" Deng Aijun's rear team is commanded by Deng Ai's eldest son, Deng Zhong. There are a lot of them.Only when Deng Zhong bets at the end can we guarantee that this team will not go further and further.

"Huitang Tinghou (Deng Zhong)'s rear team is about fifty miles away from our team. Judging by our speed, there are at least two days away."

"Sigh~~~ I didn't expect that even in winter, there would be so many soldiers who got sick. Four to five thousand people got sick before and after, right?"

"Not only that, the total number is about [-]. But fortunately, the illness of the soldiers marching this time is different from the previous plagues. As long as they slow down their walking speed, the symptoms will be relieved. After a few days of rest, they will basically recover."

(Guan Yi: Do you know why this happens? This is altitude sickness.)
"Well, Sima has worked hard." It can be said that this time the march to Yinping was smuggled, among the main generals of this army, apart from his own son Deng Zhong, Shi Zuan was the most cooperative.As an army commander, the division is responsible for all the logistical chores of the entire army. During such a difficult march, he handled it in an orderly manner, which effectively guaranteed the orderly advancement of the army.

"This is a matter for the subordinates. However, General Zhengxi, do you know how far our army is from Jiangyou? According to the news from Huitang Tinghou, the grain convoy of the rear team is [-]% empty!"

Deng Ai's smuggling to Yinping this time is actually Pingwu County, Sichuan Province, which runs through later generations.In the area of ​​this county, more than 90% of the landforms are mountains with an altitude of more than 1000 meters.To walk hundreds of miles in such a short time under such poor traffic conditions.The physical exertion of the entire army was enormous.Therefore, food is also consumed quickly.

"This, I don't know." Hearing Shi Zuan's question, Deng Ai also helplessly spread his hands, showing a wry smile: "No one has traveled this road."

"I don't know if Tian Zhang's team behind Huitang Tinghou has any extra food?" Qian Hong, the prefect of Longxi, asked the question, and the Tian Zhang he was talking about was Zhong Hui's general.At this time, he was leading 5000 people to follow Deng Ai's army far away.

"Hmph! Zhong Shiji has a good plan. Sending such a small army to follow us. The defeat has nothing to do with the overall situation, and the credit for defeating him can't be lost... Don't contact him for now. Let's go ahead for another day. If we still see If you don’t reach the exit, make another plan.”

Everyone in the meeting got up with a heavy heart, and when they were about to end the meeting and return to their respective teams, a scout ran over out of breath: "Report~~~Hoo~~~General Zhengxi, the scout team ahead sent Report. Huh~~~ About fifteen miles ahead, there is a high mountain. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking southeast, you can vaguely see the outline of a city, probably Jiangyou City!"

"Ah!" "Really?" "Good! Great good!" "That's great!"...

"Okay, hurry up and report to your captain, let him send his soldiers to tell the good news to the whole army! Huh? Why don't you get up?"

"Huh~~~General, my subordinates haven't finished speaking yet. The southeast side of that mountain is a cliff, and there is absolutely... no way to go!"

"Ah~~~?" Hearing this sad news, many generals below Shi Zuan felt a burst of deep despair.

"Huh! There is no unparalleled road! Since God let me, Deng Ai, come here, I will never let me die here! You, lead the way! I am going to see that mountain for myself!"

.......
At the same time, in Jiangyou City, which is only seventy miles away from Deng Ai in a straight line.

"Mr. Dong, this is the maid I bought from CD. I wonder if you are satisfied?"

"Oh, Magistrate Ma, how can you be so embarrassing? I have been staying here for more than a month, and you gave me a dozen maids. Really, I am ashamed!"

"Where is it, Mr. Dong grew up in a place like CD. He had to stay in a small place like ours because of state affairs. It's really hard for Mr. Dong."

"Uh, hahaha, it's neither bitter nor bitter. Although this place is a bit remote, there are not many things to play in the city, but there is no one to take care of me, so I feel at ease. Of course, there are wonderful people like County Magistrate Ma." People accompany each other, enjoy the time here, don’t think about CDs! Uh, County Magistrate Ma, this young master will just..."

"Hehehe, young master, whatever you want."

Ma Miao happily withdrew.Dong Ming, who had shown an impatient expression just now, calmed down instantly. He recalled in his mind what his father said before he arrived in Jiangyou.

"This is an urgent message from Guan Zifeng from Fuling. He said that Deng Ai will raid Jiangyou. Ma Miao, the magistrate of Jiangyou County, will definitely open the city and surrender."

"Crazy Guan? That bastard?"

"Hmph, Chongliang, Guan Zifeng is indeed an enemy of our Dong family. But he is also a good minister of my great man. When the country is in crisis, his father has put aside those personal grievances. Do you still remember?"

"...Don't dare. The father named his son Chongliang in order to let his son respect the glorious deeds of the prime minister and do his part to revive the great man. Compared with family affairs, state affairs are of course the most important thing. But father, this is about Zifeng Thousands of miles away, how would he know the situation of the battle? How could he say with certainty that Deng Ai will attack Jiangyou..."

"Father didn't believe it at first. But look at this one, it was given to Father two months ago by his entrustment."

"Jiang Shu must betray... hiss~~~ When will this Guan Zifeng be able to pinch it?"

"That's why my father didn't pay attention to what he said about Jiangyou. In fact, the general also sent someone to deliver a letter to my father. I want my father to go to Jiangyou to sit in charge instead of going to Jiange."

"Well, what does father mean?"

"CD hasn't woken up yet. That eunuch Huang Hao only knows how to deceive His Majesty! Hey... as a father, I have to go to CD first, and persuade His Majesty to activate the troops in Nanzhong and Fuling as soon as possible. Especially Guan Zifeng must be transferred as soon as possible. Come CD. So, the three thousand Zitong soldiers, I have to let you go to Jiangyou first."

"Uh, don't worry, father. My son will not disgrace his life!"

"Well, you went to Jiangyou, if it's Ma Miao... you should deal with it like this..."

……

"Hehehe, Magistrate Ma, if you are just a flatterer. Seeing that you have treated me well these days, after the war, I will persuade my father to help you move your position. If you are really treacherous, Ha ha ha ha... Oh, I don't know how to address these two beauties? Do you want to sleep together after being washed for nothing?"

On the other side, it is on the cliff called Shuma Ridge in later generations.

"Soldiers of my Great Wei! My warriors of Deng Ai! How many years have you been guarding Longxi? Short, three to five years, long, ten or twenty years! Over the past few decades, Shu thieves have invaded me successively. How many times has there been in the Great Wei? A total of sixteen times! Over the years, which one of you has not died under the butcher knife of the Shu thieves? Which one of you has not had a relative who was robbed by the Shu thieves? Now, my Great Wei has finally launched a war against the Shu thieves. The battle to destroy the country!"

"...In order to avoid the natural dangers like the Jiange, you followed the general through this uninhabited mountain for half a month. During these days, everyone can't eat well. Even to sleep, you can only sleep on the cliff Sleeping in a row! Turning over at night is too big, and you will fall into the abyss! How many brothers fell down along the way? How many brothers disappeared? Why do we have to suffer like this? Suffer like this ? Yes! We just want to give them back all the anger we have suffered from repeated attacks by Shu thieves over the past few decades!"

"Right now, our army has only enough food for three days! There is no way out! If you want to survive, the only way to survive is to move forward! God bless you! Our army is now only forty or fifty miles away from Jiangyou City, where the Shu thieves lived! Jiangyou , is an important town behind the Shu thieves, and there is plenty of money and food! If we can take Jiangyou within three days, our army will not only be able to turn the dead into a living, but also create an incomparable feat of exterminating the Shu thieves!"

"Now, what stands between our army and Jiangyou is nothing more than a cliff! Our army has crossed many rivers and conquered many mountains along the way. This cliff? Can it stop us? I Deng Ai is 66 years old this year! I would like to be your pioneer here and pave the way for everyone! If you are still a little passionate, please follow Deng Ai's footsteps and go down the mountain with Deng Ai!"

After mobilizing before the battle, Deng Ai took a thick blanket from Shi Zuan and wrapped his body tightly.Then he closed his eyes and rolled down suddenly!
