Chapter 158: Grain soldiers

After talking with Wang Ping for a long time, after roughly understanding the terrain of Ziwu Valley, Xue Bing suddenly asked again: "In Zijun's opinion, how long will it take if we lead our troops from Ziwu Valley?" Wang Ping thought about it in his heart and said, "If three or five people walk this way, even though the journey is difficult and dangerous, they can still do it.

However, now the army has passed by now. Although three thousand people are not many, there are still many. If you go along the way without natural disasters, it will take more than a month. If the rainstorm suddenly falls in heaven, this road is not feasible."

Xue Bing sat aside, listening, and thinking about the relevant information about the Ziwu Valley road in his mind.

To be honest, he did not have much knowledge of Ziwu Valley. The only thing that impressed him was that in the Romance, Wei Yan offered Zhuge Liang a surprise attack on Ziwu Valley, but Zhuge Liang refused, which made Wei Yan always think that he was not satisfied with his talent.

At that time, Xue Bing only thought that the Ziwu Valley Road was a shortcut. However, a later plot changed his view.

Cao Zhen, the general of Wei State, led a large army to raid Hanzhong from Ziwu Valley, but as a result, the heavy rain fell from the sky, causing the Ziwu Valley plank road to collapse and mud and water to fill the valley.

As a result, the army had been in the valley for more than a month and had not been able to reach Hanzhong. In the end, they were forced to retreat to Chang'an. From this we can see that the road to Ziwu Valley is difficult to walk.

Although Cao Zhen caught up with heavy rains, who can guarantee that he would not encounter such a situation when he left? Therefore, there are too many variables in the Ziwu Valley Road. No wonder Zhuge Liang refused to agree to this plan in history.

But why do you agree now?

I'm afraid it's because this matter was decided by Liu Bei. Even if Zhuge Liang didn't agree with this plan in his heart, all he could do was to help Liu Bei improve this strategy and try to make up for the loopholes.

Second, Zhuge Liang is still young now. Compared to the age of forty or fifty when Zhuge Liang was in power later, Zhuge Liang was in his prime at this time. Even though he was rigorous by nature, he still retains the enthusiasm of young people.

Third, if this strategy is successful, the battle fruits brought are tempting, which is equivalent to a pauper who suddenly wins five million.

In this way, Xue Bing's only way to do is to work hard to achieve the most important part of this strategy, such tasks as the most important part of the strategy, to attack Chang'an and attack Tongguan.

While thinking, he suddenly heard Wang Ping ask a question and quickly looked up. Wang Ping said: "General Xue, there is something unknown to the last general. Please let the general make it clear."

When Xue Bing heard this, she smiled and said, "I have something to say."

Wang Ping said: "It is not wrong for the general to want a surprise army to leave Ziwu Valley. However, three thousand soldiers and horses must be at least half a month in the valley. This is to make the weather clear and the journey is fast.

But how to transport the food, grass and supplies of these three thousand soldiers?"

Xue Bing was stunned, turned his head and looked at Zhao Yun for a while.

Then he slapped his forehead suddenly and shouted anxiously: "If Fei Zijun reminded me, I would have almost forgotten such a serious matter!" He kept yelling, and his hands kept slapping his forehead, but because he actually forgot about the army fighting. It was also the issue of needing enough food and grass.

He only considered the concealment and mobility of this surprise soldier, but forgot how to solve the problem of the food and grass with the army? The soldiers shared the burden on their own? If this happens, even if these three thousand soldiers and horses walk out of Ziwu Valley, they will probably be exhausted. Half a month of land, food and grass.

To say more is not too much, to say less is not too little. To let the soldiers take responsibility separately will definitely affect their combat effectiveness afterwards.

With his hand touched his forehead, Xue Bing sighed with remorse: "I have done a lot of money, why did I forget the food and grass problem of my own army? I still paid attention to the food and grass of the army, but I forgot that my side is the most difficult to solve.

"Xue Bing even cursed Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong's group in his heart, and didn't know how to remind himself. But then he thought about it, it was enough to propose three thousand soldiers himself.

I'm afraid those people thought that these three thousand soldiers had already counted all the soldiers transporting food.

Seeing Xue Bing like this, Wang Ping knew that Xue Bing had not thought of this problem and immediately said, "In fact, there will be a method at the end, but I don't know if it can be done."

When Xue Bing heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What is Zijun's method? Tell me quickly." His mind was now in a mess, but he couldn't calm down and think about it carefully.

Wang Ping said: "In fact, this method is not difficult, but you have to bring more soldiers. Fortunately, you brought five thousand soldiers and horses to this trip. Only two thousand soldiers only carry food and grass. The battle will be handed over to another three thousand soldiers, and this problem can be solved."

Xue Bing thought for a while and thought secretly: "Take two thousand more people? Now it seems that to ensure the basic combat power of three thousand people, these two thousand people must be brought. Otherwise, the army will reach the valley and lose food.

Even if you run to Chang'an City, you will probably fall down hungry."

Just as he was about to agree, Wang Ping said again: "But, the road to Ziwu Valley is difficult to move forward, and the general asked the army to advance lightly. The food and grass are probably not enough to last for too long. At most, they can only support it under Chang'an City."

Xue Bing smiled and said, "It's enough to be able to survive in Chang'an City!" After saying that, he raised his glass and said, "If it weren't for Zijun's reminder, Bing would have made a big mistake. This wine is to thank Zijun!"

Wang Ping hurriedly said that he didn't dare, so he raised his glass to drink with Xue Bing. After drinking, the three of them chatted for a while, until late at night, and they all dispersed. Zhao Yun returned to his mansion, and Wang Ping was left in Xue's mansion to rest.

He sent Zhao Yun out of the mansion and accompanied Wang Ping back to the room. Xue Bing walked around and then looked back to his bedroom.

While walking, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying, "I was proud of myself for coming up with such a huge strategy a few days ago. I didn't expect that in a few days, I asked Prince Jun to teach me a lesson.

"While walking, Xue Bing could only comfort himself with a wise man's concern, and there would be a mistake. "And I am not a wise man. This time I will learn a lesson, and I should be careful next time.

Although the food and grass matters are small, they are enough to affect the overall problem. It seems that in the future, you cannot only think about the overall situation, and you must also go through the details one by one."

After thinking about it this way, I suddenly understood why Zhuge Liang died so early.

"A person as rigorous as him must have thought about all the trivial matters. How can he live long after such a waste of effort?" Then he sighed again: "Fortunately, I have recruited so many people to command Liu Bei. There is no need to ask Zhuge everything, otherwise Zhuge Liang will be exhausted again.

”

Taking a deep breath, Xue Bing suddenly said to the direction of Zhuge Liang's family: "Kongming, Kongming, do you know how many years have I been here to extend your life? No, you must try to blackmail something from you when you are looking for a life, otherwise I will be sorry for myself.

"He walked back with such nonsense, and after he finished talking, he also walked to the door of the bedroom.

When he opened the door, he happened to see Zhu Rong lying on the couch, holding a small basin eating fruit. Xue Bing looked at him and saw Zhu Rong wearing a small coat, with only a tiger-skin skirt around her underneath, and her jade arms and thighs were exposed outside.

At this time, he was lying on the couch, his calves swinging in the air, making Xue Binghuang look confused.

He ran to the edge of the couch a few steps and saw Zhu Rong enjoying his bite. He asked, "What are you eating?" He looked down and saw a small round thing filled with small pots, with another pot next to it, but it contained the peel and core.

When he saw it, he immediately saw what the thing was. However, before he could speak, Zhu Rong had already peeled one, and then delivered it to his mouth, and smiled and said, "Xichuan Dishan Lili is not as delicious as ours.

But it's still OK to eat."

Xue Bing smiled and bit the white flesh into his mouth in one mouthful. He even held Zhu Rong's fingers to the weight of his mouth. He sucked it for a while before he let go of his mouth and put Zhu Rong's fingers back.

Zhu Rong smiled, peeled another mountain lyrics and threw them into his mouth, and asked Xue Bing with a smile: "Is it delicious?"

Xue Bing didn't answer, just biting the flesh. This thing was actually lychees, but the lychees at this time were all wild, and this thing grew in Jiaozhou and Shu, and it was not planted manually.

However, the skin, flesh and core of wild lychees are very close to the ground and are not easy to peel, and the taste is not as sweet and juicy as those of later artificially grown lychees. Therefore, although this thing exists at home, Xue Bing rarely touches it.

Now, Xue Bing is fighting with the damn fruit core in his mouth, trying hard to separate it from the flesh.

Seeing Xue Bing busy fighting the flesh and the core, Zhu Rong just smiled and peeled another mountain lyre, then threw it into his mouth. After sucking it a few times, he saw Zhu Rong spit out something from his mouth, but separated the core in a few times.

She also deliberately held the fruit core in her mouth and shook it twice before Xue Bing's eyes, then spit it into the basin on the side, chewing the flesh in her mouth with a smile.

Xue Bing was angry and bitten a few more times. After finally biting the kernel and spitting it aside, she saw so many flesh hanging on it, which was very different from the other plain kernels, which made Zhu Rong chuckle.

Zhu Rong chuckled, peeled another mountain lyre, and then sent the white and tender flesh to Xue Bing's mouth. When he opened his mouth and wanted to bite, he suddenly withdrew his hand, then threw the flesh into his mouth, and looked at Xue Bing with a proud look on his face.

Seeing this, Xue Bing screamed strangely and shouted, "How dare you play with your husband?" While screaming strangely, he rushed forward and hugged Zhu Rong firmly in his arms, opening his mouth straight into Zhu Rong's small mouth.

Zhu Rong was kissed by Xue Bing without any warning, and then he felt a wet and slippery little thing about to lock in. He hurriedly bit his teeth tightly and prevented him from coming in. However, his chest suddenly became warm and then tightened, but his big hands pinched his own mountain.

This made her want to shout out involuntarily, but when she opened her mouth and a clever tongue penetrated into her mouth, then rushed left and right inside, stirring back and forth.
