Great Wei Nengchen

....................................

The rain is falling, the roads are difficult, and there is often no enough to eat. The barracks are full of resentment. The soldiers of Cao Jun have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they can barely hold on. Hundreds of people escaped!

A large number of deserters appeared without even seeing the enemy's shadow. Cao's army has been fighting everywhere for more than ten years, and this kind of thing has never happened. !

"Wen Ruo and Gong Da both passed away, like breaking an old man's arm. Thinking about worry-free future and lack of food and grass, I'm afraid it will be very difficult!"

Cao Cao, who realized that the problem was serious, began to think seriously about the countermeasures. Finally, in line with the "principle of those who can do more work", he handed over the responsibility of logistics and supply to the most capable general - Xiao Yat!

Let him sit in the rear army, and the governor must ensure the daily consumption of the army for the transportation of supplies, grain and grass, so as not to shake people's hearts and delay the grand plan of the Southern Expedition!

He also ordered the local officials of Yu, Yan, Xu, and Si prefectures to obey the orders of Da Sima Xiao Yi, and fully mobilize civilian men, mules, horses, and vehicles to ensure the transportation of grain and grass on the front line!

"The last will obey!"

After receiving Cao Cao's order, Xiao Yi did not hesitate at all, and immediately went to the rear army to take over the supply of food and grass. This matter is indeed difficult to handle, but someone must do it, right?

Although there are many contradictions between myself and Cao Cao, and sooner or later there will be a break, but on a big issue, the two people have the same goal-to pacify the princes, unify the world, and return the common people to a peaceful and prosperous world!

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the world has been divided, the feudal lords have risen together, the wars have continued, the people have suffered, and the total population of the Han family has dropped from more than 6000 million to less than 500 million. A man, it hurts so much!

In this battle of the Southern Expedition, if Cao Jun wins, the cause of unifying the world will be completed by [-] or [-] points. After that, the war will basically end, the people will be able to recuperate, and the national vitality will be restored as soon as possible, so we will not be afraid of foreign provocations!

Therefore, although he suffered a lot of oppression, embarrassment, and grievances, Xiao Yi still tried his best to help Cao Cao win this battle for the sake of the common people in the world. Good luck!

If he wanted to win the Southern Expedition, he had to solve the problem of logistics and supplies. After Xiao Yi accepted the appointment, in addition to working day and night, coordinating the rear, and continuously transporting food and grass, he also made two major decisions:

One is to order the Xuanjia iron cavalry not to rush south with the army, but to camp in the lower reaches of Yingshui River, choose a place with abundant water and grass, and buy food and grass supplies for daily needs from merchants in the surrounding counties and counties, and do not harass the common people!

The Xuanjia Army has [-] soldiers, each equipped with three horses, a total of [-] horses, and the daily consumption of each horse is five times that of ordinary infantry, and it is definitely the largest consumer of food and grass. , but also inseparable from the logistics supply!

This team is placed at the back and placed in a place with abundant water and grass, which can shorten the supply line and save food and grass as much as possible. Moreover, the Xuanjia army is flexible and can run three hundred miles a day and night, striking the enemy's weak link by surprise, and then turning the whole situation around. The battle situation is a trump card!

In addition, one's direct descendants stay behind and avoid being a shield for others, which can reduce unnecessary casualties and possible "fires", and try to preserve Xiao's strength, which can be said to kill three birds with one stone!

Second, in the counties of Chenliu, Yingchuan, and Runan, a large number of merchant ships, fishing boats, and Shanban were recruited, and the sailors were responsible for handling them, transporting grain and grass along the waterways, and supplying hundreds of thousands of troops ahead. Chop down trees to make a raft!

Compared with the land transportation carried by horse-drawn carts and shoulders, water transportation not only saves energy, is faster, and has a larger carrying capacity. Of course, there is no idle time on land, and they are all driven at full power to transport food and grass to the front line day and night. ,ordnance!

Some people can't help but wonder, Cao Ying has spent more than two years building a water army, and spent a lot of financial and material resources. Why not use his own boats, but recruit private boats, and seized from Gongsun's hands, as many as thousands of boats, Why didn't the fleet of seagoing ships, which could accommodate tens of thousands of people, go south with the army?

The answer is very simple - intentional but powerless. On the map of China during the Han Dynasty, there were no natural rivers connecting the two major water systems of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, and there was no artificial canal connecting the north and the south. Who would rather exhaust the power of the whole country, The tyrant who also wants to open up the north-south water transport will not be born until more than 400 years later!

Cao Ying's water army was stationed in Xuanwu Pond, using the Zhanghe River system, they could only walk around the vicinity of Yecheng, and they couldn't even reach Xuchang City, let alone use ships to help the army transport food and grass. Even the water army soldiers went south, It is also all the way by car and on foot!

The Liaodong navy is farther away, and the southward transfer is even more impossible, but those giant sea-going ships-large in size and deep in the water, ride through the waves in the sea and run wild, but they can't move in the inland rivers. It's easy to run aground on the shore, otherwise it won't be captured by Cao Jun!

Of course, it would be a pity if such a sea dragon is abandoned. Xiao Yi has other arrangements for this, and will definitely surprise some people at a critical moment!

The rivers in the south are criss-cross, hot and humid, which is not conducive to the northern army's operations. However, if there is a disadvantage, there must be an advantage. Because there are many rivers connected to each other, and the terrain is high in the north and low in the south, it is still very convenient to sail south!

Xiao Yi issued an order to build a large wharf in the upper reaches of Tangshui in Runan County. Half of Cao Jun's grain, grass and ordnance were gathered here first, and then transported southward by boat, passing through Tangshui, Baishui, and Hanshui. ...It can go straight into the Yangtze River, and it can continuously supply hundreds of thousands of Cao troops!

With a sufficient supply of food and grass, the morale of the army, which had been extremely shaken, gradually stabilized, and the soldiers also recovered their combat effectiveness. Holding up their swords, guns, swords and halberds, they rushed to the nine counties of Jingzhou!

Chapter 1208 The traitor's trump card!

A rope is nine feet three -- yo ho!

Father and son strapped to shoulders from generation to generation -- Yo Ho!

Stepping through the rocks no one asks -- Yo Ho!

Unexpectedly, the tracker felt cold in his heart - ho ho!

..........................................

The Baihe River, also known as "Wu Shui", originates from the eastern foot of Funiu Mountain, with a total length of more than [-] miles. It is one of the important tributaries of the Han River. On its wide water surface, a huge fleet is sailing Next, the ship is full of food, ordnance, medicinal materials... It is Cao Jun's transport fleet!

The fleet goes down the river, and the sailors paddle easily, but when they encounter rapids and dangerous shoals, they still have to be dragged by the trackers. All of them are here, there are tens of thousands of people!

The trackers lined up, bent their bodies, yelled loudly, and moved forward step by step, sweating like rain, dripping on the ground continuously, and the trackers didn't wear clothes...

Most of the trackers are poor people. If they are wearing clothes to pull the boat, a piece of clothing will be worn out in a few days due to sweat soaked and worn ropes. They cannot afford this kind of consumption!

What's more, the trackers work on the shore and in the water for a while. The clothes are easily soaked and uncomfortable to wear. They will also suffer from arthritis and rheumatism. For the sake of health, the trackers simply don't wear clothes. Compared with meaningless faces, survival is the most important thing!

Pulling fiber is a hard job, but the trackers are very motivated. First, the treatment given by Cao Jun is good, not to mention that the wages are enough. Three full meals a day, noodle cakes, steamed buns, and broth... For poor people, This is the only food for Chinese New Year!

The second is that on the boat they were towing, there was a legendary figure who was invincible and invincible. To be able to pull the boat back for this noble person is really exhausting and willing!

Therefore, during the breaks, the trackers will stretch their necks, widen their eyes, and look towards the center of the fleet. If they can see the "Killing God", they will be able to brag with their neighbors for decades after returning to their hometown!

In the long fleet, there is a two-story black building full of soldiers wearing iron armor and holding sharp knives. There is a black flag on the top, and a large "Xiao" character in the middle, fluttering up and down, very majestic. !

The trackers looked around for a long time, but they didn't see the figure of the killing god. They felt quite regretful in their hearts, and they thought it was normal. The one who came down to the earth and was in charge of killing and killing in the world, how could it be easy for ordinary people to see it?

Many people secretly speculated that the Killing God hadn't shown his face for a few days. He was either arranging troops or strategizing. It is estimated that blood will flow into rivers in the nine counties of Jingxiang?

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

"In the middle of the night, there was no sound. A black shadow climbed over the two-foot-high wall and sneaked into the girl's embroidery building. I saw a figure in the bathroom, with black hair hanging down on the buttocks, and a waist grasped. Perfect!"

In the compartment of the building boat, Xiao Yi was reclined on the soft couch, his face was flushed, his eyes were blurred, he was not laughing to himself, he was doing something that entertained the body and mind, but could not be seen by others... read novel !

Before time travel, Xiao Yi was a fan of otaku novels. He had browsed many works of great gods, and he was especially partial to the novels of the three vulgar ones. He almost forgot to eat and sleep. Unfortunately, he didn't read any novels after time travel, which made him suffer for a long time!

I want to write a book by myself, but after a few years, I can only hold back a dozen words in total, so I have no choice but to give up. Although the novel is not as profound as the poem, it is not everyone can write it!

Fortunately, there is no such thing as a perfect road. During the meeting of a hundred schools of thought contending, he met the last novelist - Viscount Bai. Xiao Yi recruited the novelist into the residence of Marquis Wuchou as if he had found a treasure. Stories to read for yourself!

I have to admit that Viscount Bai has an ordinary appearance, an average temperament, and a bit of a dirty personality, but his ability to write stories is extremely high, especially good at writing some vulgar novels, which are really upside down and full of love!

If Xiao Yi didn't read a few volumes every day, he would be hungry, sleepless at night, and even make out with his wives without passion!

Especially recently, Viscount Bai wrote "The Story of the Flower Picking Snitch", the content is glamorous and attractive, Xiao Yi was fascinated by it, in order to have new stories to read every day, he simply took Viscount Bai with him, and went south with the army !

"What's the matter, why didn't there be a new volume yesterday, did the novelist get lazy again?"

"Qi reported to Chief Sima that Viscount Bai got drunk last night and is still asleep, so he delayed writing!"

"Greedy drinking is unforgivable. Throw him into the river to sober up. Next time you dare to delay writing, put him in a small dark room and don't give him food for three days. Let's see if he has a long memory!"

"promise!"

Just at the critical moment, the novel suddenly stopped. For a senior reader, this was an extremely painful thing. Xiao Yi became furious and immediately sent his staff to inquire. Only then did he find out that the novelist was drunk last night, which delayed his writing!

To say that Viscount Bai is not greedy for money, not lecherous, and not addicted to officials, he is a good drinker, he often gets so drunk that he delays his writing, Xiao Yi's repeated reprimands are useless, it seems that he has to use some extreme means !
