Eight hundred and sixty-six Liu Zhang regretted
Cao Xiu led 3,000 soldiers to escort these Yizhou prisoners of war as a relative general, and brought them a group of people to the Shu Road to Luoyang through the Shu Road.
This is indeed not an easy task.
However, the Luogu Road after the renovation was indeed good, and Cao Xiu could feel it himself.
When he followed Guo Peng to attack Hanzhong, Luogu Road was difficult to walk, but this time it was obviously much more convenient when he marched south from Luogu Road.
I heard that many people died in order to build this road. The prisoners of war they obtained in Liangzhou were basically dead on the way to build the road, and some people joked that it was a flesh-and-blood road or something.
However, since ancient times, it is impossible to not die if you build such a path.
After entering Guanzhong from Luogu Road, the road is even better.
Cao Xiu took the group of people to supplement some food and daily necessities in Chang'an, and met Chen Gong, the governor of Yongzhou who was guarding Chang'an, and then continued to lead the team to the direction of Luoyang.
After entering Guanzhong, the road is much easier to walk, and it is even more in the same level as Luogu Road after the renovation.
Many of these prisoners of war, such as Wu Yi and Wu Ban, were following Liu Yan from Luoyang and walking the road from Luoyang to Yizhou.
More than ten years have passed, but the memory of it is still there, and I still remember the difficulties of walking this road at that time.
Even Liu Zhang remembers that he has walked the road from Luoyang to Chang'an, and then from Chang'an to Chengdu, Yizhou, and knows how difficult these roads are.
But when they entered Hanzhong and walked on Luogu Road, these people felt that the road was much easier.
The dangerous Shu Road has been widened a lot, and the ground seems to be much flat. When I asked people around me, I found out that Luogu Road was ordered by Guo Peng to allocate more than 6 million yuan to repair it, widening and strengthening the parts that were originally very difficult to walk.
No wonder the march was so fast and without the danger of lack of food.
Wu Yi felt a deep sense of powerlessness when he looked at Luo Gudao, whose appearance changed a lot after the renovation.
Then how rich is Emperor Wei and how willing is to spend money?
He was willing to spend more than 6 million yuan to repair Luogu Road, and it took more than three years to concentrate manpower and material resources to repair such a dangerous Shu Road, and he built a really good road.
It means that the road was repaired just after Hanzhong was captured, and we were preparing for this day.
He never wavered whether to attack Yizhou.
Everything is in his control, everything is in his plan...
It’s not that he didn’t fight, but that the time in the plan has not come, the time is not yet mature enough, and the preparations in all aspects have not been perfected, so Emperor Wei did not take action.
But after all preparations are completed, Emperor Wei will kill all the enemies he wants to kill in one breath with a thunderous force.
So their emotions were a little depressed, a little depressed, and they felt more and more powerless and stupid.
This kind of emotion is even more so after entering Guanzhong and walking on the flatter and spacious roads of Guanzhong.
They have not walked through Guanzhong before. They have all been walking along the way. They knew exactly what the road was at that time. It would be fine if it didn’t rain. When it rained, the road was muddy and could not bear to walk at all. Long journeys can sometimes kill people.
But now, the repair of this road is comparable to the legendary Qinzhi Road. Every other distance, a considerable station is set up to supplement some food and horses. There are even patrol teams along the way to observe the condition of the road and determine whether to repair it.
Not only can you rest in the inn, but you can even replace some tired horses, replace them with new horses, or some worn equipment.
This is almost a small material replenishment base. Along the way, Wu Yi has seen seventeen or eighteen such strongholds.
From a military perspective, with such a stronghold, it seems that it is not difficult for the army to advance from Luoyang to Chang'an, and its speed can even be maintained to a certain extent.
Convenience, really very convenient, and the level of protection is also very high, but the key is...
How much does it cost?
How much manpower, material and financial resources should be used for such a large project when the world has not yet been unified?
Confused, Wu Yi suddenly thought of what Guan Yu had said before.
This kind of thing seems to be beyond the scope of Emperor Wei's consideration. Emperor Wei really regards the logistics support of the army as much as possible, so he spends huge amounts of money to build such logistics conditions.
Suddenly, Wu Yi understood why Guo Peng swept across the Central Plains, Guanzhong, Hebei, and created such a huge foundation in more than ten years, and could defeat the three of them in the joint resistance to collapse.
What kind of opponent are they fighting against?
Wu Yi suddenly fell into confusion and then quickly got relieved.
After being liberated, he breathed a lot of relief and saw the reality clearly.
There are not many people who see the reality clearly like him. Anyway, Wu Ban saw it clearly, and then Huang Quan saw it clearly.
They all saw it clearly.
The longer the road he walked, the more he walked in Guanzhong. Seeing the construction of Guanzhong, the pedestrians and caravans coming and going, they seemed to understand why they would definitely lose in this battle.
At this time, they even felt that it was a good thing that Liu Zhang did not persevere until the end.
Including the long-range attack weapons of the Wei army that they learned before, as well as the three treasures of the war horses that were regarded as treasures by the Wei army.
With these three treasures of war horses, the time the Wei cavalry stayed on the war horses can greatly improve. Wu Yi is riding such a war horse now. He rode very steadily, and eating and drinking water on the war horses becomes very easy.
There is a horseshoe under the horse's hooves, which are said to be used to protect the horse's hooves.
The Wei army officers said proudly that after they used the Three Treasures of War Horses, the loss rate of war horses was greatly reduced compared to before, and even the efficiency of Numa transporting things was much higher.
How many things have changed for a small horseshoe?
How much convenience did it bring to Wei?
Wu Yi didn't know, but together with those new things, the comprehensive national strength of Wei State was completely different from that of Shu Han.
Originally, even if nothing changes, with the size of Wei State, Wu Yi would not have the confidence to defeat him.
Now when he knew that the Wei State was a powerful Wei State, he became more convinced that his battle was futile.
Because the opponents were too powerful, so powerful that they could not shake it, their resistance was as weak and ridiculous as if they were a mantis armed in a chariot in the eyes of the Wei people.
The Wei people generally mocked them, Shu people, who were not as conscious as the general trend of the world as Jingzhou people, and they surrendered to the Wei Kingdom without any attack. They are living a comfortable life now, and you Shu people...
It's just a little better than those who lost their heads in Jiangdong.
Why bother?
Yes, why bother?
Wu Yi smiled self-deprecatingly and asked himself, why bother?
He couldn't even refute.
When he looked at Huang Quan, he saw Huang Quan's depressed face and low emotions, and when he saw the similar emotions expressed by the officers and civil servants of the pro-war faction who had stood with him to resist the Wei army, he knew that their resistance might have been a mistake from the beginning.
Maybe Liu Zhang thought so too.
Liu Zhang sat in the car and saw the real situation inside Wei through the scene outside the car window. The more he looked, the more he regretted it, and the more he looked, the more depressed he became.
He really had the same idea as Wu Yi.
Why bother?
Why resist at the beginning?
If you could see such a scene earlier, you would understand that their resistance is meaningless and only increases casualties.
