Return to the Three Kingdoms with the Empire System

Chapter 67
Chang Lin, courtesy name Boru.A native of Wen County, Hanoi County. In 190, he was imprisoned because the allied forces attacked Dong, and because Chang Lin's uncle offended Wang Kuang's disciples.Later, Chang Lin found Wang Kuang's fellow villager, Hu Mubiao, and Uncle Chang Lin was released from prison.After that, Chang Lin's family avoided chaos in the Shangdang until they defected to Cao Cao.

At first, hearing Chang Lin Ye Mo was just familiar. After all, the Three Kingdoms period had too much ability, and Chang Lin was a civil servant, so he was naturally not so famous.If it wasn't for Chang Lin's fellow countryman, Ye Mo wouldn't have known about Chang Lin.Chang Lin's fellow countryman is none other than Sima Yi, one of the Sima Bada.

After confirming that Chang Lin is the Chang Lin in history, Ye Mo is thinking about how to make Chang Lin become an official earlier than in history.If it was the original, Ye Mo would naturally not bother with it, but now, the Ye family has become the target of public criticism.It is better to secretly introduce an official with the brand of the Ye family than to cultivate a member of the Ye family.

Chang Lin didn't take it seriously when Ye Mo called out his name. Although the Chang family had fallen, he was still well-known among his neighbors. Chang Lin only thought that Ye Mo had passed by his hometown, so Only then did I know his name.

Several people were sitting in the tent of the Chinese army, and Ye Mo was asking about the defense situation of Changlin Sishui Pass.

Hearing Chang Lin's return, Ye Mo probably knew that there were [-] defenders at Sishui Pass, and they practiced frequently. They were not elite, but they were better than ordinary local defenders.

As for the ordnance in the pass, due to the reason of not being used all the year round, and due to lack of proper maintenance, some of them have already decayed.However, the arrows, stones, and rolling logs are still available, but there were a few bed crossbows in the pass, and now they can no longer be used.

"By the way, there is a basement in the pass, and there is still a lot of fire oil in it." When Chang Lin was reporting to Ye Mo, a middle-aged commander beside him said.

"Huh?" Ye Mo was a little surprised, fierce fire oil, that is petroleum crude oil, if there is such a thing, then the confidence of holding the Sishui Pass will be greater. "How much is that thing?"

Seeing that Ye Mo seemed very interested in this thing, the middle-aged leader was also very happy. "About thirty barrels."

There are more than 30 barrels of fierce oil, which is not much, but as long as it is used in a certain place, it can still play a great role.It seems that these things must be well preserved and not let others know. "How do you know? Also, how many people know these things?" Ye Mo looked at the middle-aged commander and asked coldly.

Looking at Ye Mo's eyes, the middle-aged commander suddenly felt a chill down his back. "My lord, the last general, the last general has been guarding Sishui Pass for the longest time, so, so the last general knows these things. Except for the last general, no, no one else knows." The middle-aged commander stammered After he finished speaking, he was afraid that Ye Mo would kill him if he said something wrong.

"Remember, except for those of us who are here now, we are not allowed to reveal a word about this matter. These things are related to whether we can hold the Sishui Pass, so..." Speaking of this, Ye Mo glanced at everyone present. one person.

"The general understands, and won't tell the story." Seeing Ye Mo's cold eyes, the people present couldn't understand what it meant, and responded one after another.

"Take me to take a look." Seeing that these people said that they would not tell this matter, Ye Mo stopped being entangled in this matter.The previous intimidation was just to let these people understand the importance of this matter. As for whether it will be revealed, only God knows.

A group of people walked to a corner on the east side of the closed wall. The middle-aged leader looked around and found that no one was paying attention to this side, so he asked a few people to help push away a boulder that seemed to be embedded in the mountain.

"You guys, watch here, I'll go in with him." Ye Mo walked to the exposed hole, didn't smell the pungent smell, and knew that the fire oil was still well preserved.Ye Mo pointed to the middle-aged commander before, and asked him to enter the basement with him.

Entering the entrance of the cave, the middle-aged leader took out a fire pocket, and the two walked down with the little fire light.The stone steps are still very smooth, which shows that the people who built the basement at that time were still very careful.Looking at the light on the fire folder shaking slightly, it means that the ventilation hole in the basement has not been blocked, or that the ventilation hole is repaired in a very hidden place, so that no one will notice it.

Just play around and walk about five or six meters, and it's over.That's right, after all, what is stored here is military supplies. If the basement is built tens of meters deep, when these things are taken out, the people who carry them will almost have to get tired and lie down, and it will delay the military situation.

The whole basement is not big, but more than 30 barrels of fire oil only take up less than one-third of the space.

Ye Mo tapped the wooden barrels containing the kerosene with his hand, the sound of the knocking was very dull, after several knocks, it still remained the same, indicating that the kerosene was still well preserved, and there was no leakage.Because only the knocking sound of the barrel full of things is dull, otherwise it will appear very crisp.

"Let's go up. It's enough for you guys to watch from a distance every day." Ye Mo looked at the fire oil. Although he didn't think of the use, it would be better if there were more things for the city guard.

When the two returned to the ground, they didn't say much, and the others didn't dare to ask, but they could guess from Ye Mo's appearance that the contents inside should be the same as what they said before.

Randomly arranged one person among the crowd to look at the entrance of the basement, and then the few people inspected the gate, and then went back to the Chinese military tent to discuss the military situation.

Because they didn't know Dong Zhuojun's actions yet, Ye Mo and the others could only strengthen their vigilance.Now that the reinforcements haven't arrived, we can't take [-] soldiers to steal the camp.Not to mention anything else, even if it is successful, facing the coalition forces of the princes of the Fourteen Towns, who will be able to escape by then?
When everyone was speculating on Dong Zhuojun's actions in the military tent, the previous guard came in with Ye San who was scouting the terrain.

"How?" Ye Mo asked directly, ignoring the dust on Ye San's body.

"What can we do? We've been guarding this place for so long, don't we know about this place? How could there be a small path that can go directly behind the pass?" The guard was still upset about Ye Mo's attitude towards Chang Lin before. Huai, seeing that Ye Mo still wanted to find a path, he immediately dismissed it.

Ignoring the soldier, Ye San took a breath and said, "Yes."

The word "yes" immediately startled everyone present. They had been guarding this pass for so long, and there was actually a trail they didn't know about.

"How is it possible?" the soldier said directly.

Ye Mo didn't speak, and directly put a map of the surrounding area of ​​Sishui Pass on the table.I have to say that the maps of this period are really hard to say. At least Ye Mo, who is very good at geography, took a long time to understand this map.

Ye San himself is a soldier summoned by the system, if he can't understand the map, it will be over, although it is very difficult to hate to read this map after getting used to Ye Yihua's map.

Point your index finger on the map, and then swipe all the way.Obviously, this is the trail that Ye San discovered.

Others will not have any difficulty looking at this picture. After all, they have seen a lot, and they have not seen better goods, so they think this is already very good.Seeing where Ye San's fingers passed, everyone immediately looked at me and I at you, speechless.

It was the middle-aged commander who stood up and said, "This shouldn't count. After all, if you want to walk this way, you have to climb a cliff several feet high. Who can do this?"

"That's right, such a high cliff, there is no place to hold hands, who can climb it?" Everyone echoed.

"I can." Looking at the people in the tent, Ye San said calmly without changing his expression.

"Ye San and ten people will be guarding this place for the time being. Just don't let the enemy pass by." Ye Mo saw something was wrong with the scene and said.Indeed, to guard a cliff, only a few people are enough.

When Ye Mo opened his mouth, it was difficult for others to say anything, and taking away an individual would not have a big impact on the whole.

"Let's go back to rest today, and also, pay attention to the fact that the enemy may come back to attack at night." At this time, there is nothing to discuss in this atmosphere.In addition, it was indeed getting late, so Ye Mo asked everyone to go back to rest.

Hearing Ye Mo say that the enemy might attack at night, everyone didn't care, and planned to arrange a few people to fool around.After all, who can know the movement of the enemy army, and whether these people have crossed the party, even if they have crossed the party, Ye Mo is still not sure that the enemy army will come to attack at night. After all, history has changed a lot.

Although his commander didn't take Ye Mo's words seriously, Chang Lin was different. Although he was a literati, he also knew the above military orders.Now that Ye Mo is here, although Ye Mo is not the chief official of Sishui Pass in name, neither is he himself, so he intends to listen to Ye Mo's arrangement.After all, even if the enemy didn't come, there would be no loss.

Chang Lin wanted to increase the number of night watchmen, but the commanders were helpless. After all, Chang Lin still had a high prestige in their hearts, so they added [-] soldiers to watch the night.

The others withdrew from the Chinese army tent, leaving only Ye Mo and four people in the tent.After Ye Mo ordered the kitchen to get some food for Ye San, they discussed the Sishuiguan situation in the tent.

In the end, everyone came to the conclusion that if they relied on these people, they could only resist for three to five days at most when the enemy was restless.Although the coalition forces can't attack with a large force, similarly, they can only send some people on their own side, and in the end it becomes a struggle between the two sides, but there is only a barrier on their side.If the coalition forces have a siege weapon, then the time to defend the pass will be greatly shortened.

After discussing for a while, but after finding no good solution, Ye Mo and the others went to sleep.

In the middle of the night, there was a sudden sound of drums and shouts of killing outside, which woke Ye Mo and the others from their dreams.

Sitting on the bed, Ye Mo rubbed his head, opened his eyes in a daze, listened to the voice outside, and murmured: "Fortunately, we arrived one day early, otherwise this battle will be difficult to fight, maybe Dong Zhuo will really attack Luoyang."
