The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Yan Yan's complaint reminded Chen Ziming that his sense of responsibility for defending the country must go deep into the army, especially the generals in the army, who must have a spirit of not losing an inch of land.

The big Han soldiers should not only focus on the fertile land of the Central Plains. Although the outside world is backward and poor, it is still land. After the reform, it can still support many people.

The earth is just that big, and the land is so little. Now the technology is underdeveloped and the population is sparse, so people living in the fertile Central Plains look down on the land outside the region. But in the future, Chen Ziming, who came from the 21st century, knows very well that the territory of that era , even the slightest bit of worthless space is constantly being fought over.

Countless wars broke out for territory and resources, and it is difficult to count the soldiers who died fighting for a piece of worthless land.

But in this era, as long as one has the heart and is willing to pay such a small price, one can seize unimaginable territories, which Chen Ziming is absolutely unwilling to let go.

"After the unification of the Han Dynasty, I will play the Son of Heaven, emigrate to the border, and build roads at the same time to make the border land as rich as the Central Plains." Chen Ziming said to Yan Yan sternly: "So, during this period of time, you The soldiers and horses must thoroughly investigate all the land in the northwest and delineate the exact frontier."

"No." Although Yan Yan didn't understand why Chen Ziming valued the northwest land, as a general guarding the border, these things are his job: "However, the war will start, and General Zhao Yun once mentioned that once the emperor issued an order to attack the Cao bandits, I will All the soldiers and horses need to go south, and they will be dispatched after listening."

"En." Chen Ziming nodded and said, "This matter is the intention of the military department. Sometimes there will be an order from the military department to prevail, but you will leave some soldiers and horses to guard the border."

Yan Yan nodded to show that he knew, and then said: "The general thought that Wuwei is an important town in Xiliang, connecting Zhangye, Jiuquan in the north, Dizhou in the west, and Jincheng in the south. Wuwei should be the root, and it can take care of the four directions. It can shorten the way of food and grass for the army."

"Yes." Chen Ziming is familiar with the map of the northwest of Liangzhou. Wuwei is indeed an important place, but he still mentioned: "Your Legion should build a suitable grain road to transport grain and grass to Guohuang, Zhangye and other places. Try to solve the problem of food and grass for the soldiers on the border, and don't let the soldiers on the border guard the country hungry."

"No." Yan Yan nodded yes, but Yan Yan was also powerless to establish the grain road. Zhang Ye could say it, but Guo Huang was too far away, and the lack of transport was not enough to consume the grain transport team halfway. Hundreds of soldiers, transporting too many is too wasteful of manpower and material resources.

When he received the order from the military department to send troops to Guo Huang, what he got was that the big man had already canceled Guo Huang's garrison, and there had been no big Han soldiers guarding Guo Huang for a long time.

After some inspections, Chen Ziming had a basic understanding of the situation of Yan Yan's army, and also understood the difficulties of guarding the northwest frontier. After returning, he was going to find a way to solve these difficulties.

After Chen Ziming returned to Jincheng, he learned that Tongguan’s Cao army was frequently mobilized, and that Chang’an, Xianyang and other places after Tongguan were also under martial law. This abnormal situation made Chen Ziming frown and think hard. The final battle is still early.

However, Cao’s army suddenly changed. Once Tongguan Cao’s army attacked Liangzhou, the existing peace would be broken, and Hanzhong and Yizhou would also be mobilized. way to avoid the first

"No." Tian Feng objected to Zhao Yun's transfer of Yan Yan's troops from the north to the south, and he also knew that it was not the time to start a war, so he said sternly: "The secret report from the secret guards, although the Tongguan guards have been transferred, there is no increase in troops. , Cao Cao did not send any troops northward."

"But Ruotong's ban on attacking Liangzhou, the Zhangxiu Army can't support it alone. Once there is a change, it will miss the opportunity." Zhao Yun, as the general guarding Liangzhou, dispatched the three armies in Liangzhou in a unified manner. He dared not take risks.

Chen Ziming thought for a while and said: "Cao Cao is also resting and recuperating at this time, and he will not take the lead in fighting. Tongguan's abnormal movement should be regarded as the general's prohibition of personal behavior."

Meng Jian who was on the side suddenly said, "Prime Minister, my subordinates believe that the change of Cao's army in Tongguan is related to the sudden arrival of the Prime Minister and the general."

"Oh?" Chen Ziming had a flash of inspiration after hearing Meng Jian's words, and then asked, "Gongwei, what do you mean by that?"

"Report to the Prime Minister." Meng Jian said: "The change of Cao's army in Tongguan is something that happened after the prime minister and the general arrived in Liangzhou. The subordinates believe that it is the name of the prime minister and the general that shocked the world. Next, hurry to mobilize the defenders to prevent the prime minister and the general from attacking Tongguan."

"Hahahaha." Tian Feng laughed and said after hearing this: "It should be so, the names of the prime minister and the general are so powerful that it is common sense for Yu Jin to be afraid."

After hearing this, Chen Ziming was also speechless, whether it was flattery or not, why did it sound a little flattering to him, but thinking about it the other way around, if Cao Cao suddenly appeared in Tongguan, even if he didn't bring a large army, Zhao Yun, who was guarding Liangzhou, would also immediately To mobilize the army, just in case, in this way, it makes sense.

After he figured it out, Chen Ziming shook his head with a wry smile. He had a conscience. He came to Liangzhou for a casual look. He had no intention of attacking Tongguan at all. Now is not the time to anger Cao Cao.

"This matter must be guarded against." Chen Ziming smiled slightly: "Order Zhang Xiu, the whole army is on alert, and closely monitor the movements of Cao's army in Tongguan. If Cao Cao increases his troops in Tongguan, Yan Yan's army can be transferred south. If Cao Cao does not move, then Do not stimulate in the forbidden."

Then Chen Ziming stayed in Jincheng, and he was not sure why Yu Jin suddenly mobilized his troops. If Cao Cao really wanted to attack Liangzhou, he must be prepared. , In case he just arrived at the Zhangxiu Army, Cao Cao mobilized heavy troops to Tongguan when he was stimulated. At that time, it was not up to him to decide whether to fight or not.

Chen Ziming stayed for half a month, saw that Cao Cao had no intention of increasing troops in Tongguan, and knew that Meng Jian's analysis was good.

As Meng Jian said, Yu Jin was indeed afraid that Chen Ziming would lead troops to attack Tongguan, so he took precautions. After Cao Cao learned that Chen Ziming was in Liangzhou, he also wanted to increase troops in Tongguan, but under the analysis of Xi Zhicai, he temporarily gave up the increase. For Tongguan's plan, now is not the time to start a war. Liu Bei is not ready, and neither is Cao Cao.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when Chen Ziming left Liangzhou, but Wenpin, who guarded Nanyang, became worried, because his main task was to guard against Liu Bei's troops in Hanzhong, and Chen Ziming's next destination was Hanzhong.

Chapter 573 Sword Pavilion

The road from Liangzhou to Hanzhong has been fully connected. In order to facilitate the mobilization of the army and the transportation of food and grass, the road from Liangzhou to Hanzhong has been built to be about three meters wide, and running on horseback is not a problem at all.

Of course, if you don't have any skills, you still dare not gallop on such a road. Although the road is spacious, some areas are built on the mountainside, which means that the other side of the road is either a steep slope or a cliff.

There is no such thing as a protective fence in this era. If a horse runs fast and cannot stop, it is not impossible to fall off the hillside and cliff.

"There is still a problem with the road planning, not professional enough." Chen Ziming looked at the road blocked by the landslide, and Yaoyao nodded helplessly. There are many problems that need to be paid attention to when building roads on this kind of hillside, and preventing landslides is the most critical point.

Meng Jian, who was in charge of leading the way, said in a low voice: "The prime minister doesn't know that the road from Liangzhou to Hanzhong is hard to find, and there are mountains blocking the road everywhere. It is not easy to build such a road."

Meng Jian also participated in the construction of this road, and he knew the dangers of building the road, and because of this road, many migrant workers died unexpectedly. For the migrant workers of Dahan, the pension is good. What Meng Jian remembers most is that he died in the Alien captives on this road.

For such a dangerous project, the central government usually dispatches captives of foreign races to assist. To put it bluntly, it is a group of cannon fodder. Let those captives of foreign races go to dangerous places, bury them on the spot if they die, and continue to work until they are finished. Go to the next place here until you hang up.

This is Chen Ziming's attention, not Chen Ziming's cold blood. In this era, no matter how large or small a project is, there are bound to be countless dangers. In order to develop rapidly, human lives have to be used to fill it.

The best choice is the foreign captives. After several years of fighting, Liu Bei's army captured many foreign captives, among which the Xianbei and the Huns were the most. It is impossible to kill all these captives. First of all, Liu Bei would not agree to do so.

Of course, they can't be released. If these captives are released, Chen Ziming can guarantee that they will definitely be among them the next time a foreign race attacks, and they may even become guides. The threat is too great.

It is also impossible to raise them for nothing. The food of the big man is limited, and even if there is enough food for the people, it is not impossible for the livestock to eat food. How can it be wasted on those aliens?

In the end, the waste utilization of foreign captives became the vanguard of the rapid development of the Han Dynasty.

"It will be fine in the future." Faced with this situation, Chen Ziming had no choice but to build a safe and secure road in such a terrain, even though his production level was limited and many high-tech things could not be produced. ,Totally impossible.

Chen Ziming encountered five roads that were blocked by landslides on a road that was hundreds of miles away. They were all riding horses, so be careful and take a little time to get around.

Chen Ziming did not go directly to Hanzhong, but directly entered Yangping Pass, the first dangerous pass between Yizhou and Liangzhou.

Standing on top of the towering wall, Chen Ziming lamented that such a dangerous pass, if it fell into the hands of Cao Cao, it would be impossible for Liu Beijun to easily attack it.

"If one general is incompetent, the whole army will be exhausted."

When Chen Ziming lamented Liu Zhang's incompetence, he looked at the young general in armor behind him and said with a slight smile, "If there is an enemy attack, how long can your soldiers and horses hold back?"

"Return to the Prime Minister." The young general replied without thinking: "Yangping Pass is a famous pass in the world. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The last general was ordered to lead [-] soldiers to guard this pass. If the enemy's troops attack by [-] people, this pass can be protected." At noon, if the enemy's [-] soldiers attack, the pass will not be lost for half a month; if the [-] enemy troops attack, the [-] soldiers in Yangping Pass will live and die with this pass."

After hearing this, Chen Ziming nodded slightly. There is no barrier in the world that cannot be broken, and it depends on whether you are willing to sacrifice. Three thousand soldiers and horses defending, one hundred thousand enemy troops, the three thousand defenders can be exhausted to death if you are tired, but correspondingly, Attacking one side must pay a heavy price.

"You are not bad." This young general did not talk nonsense, and Chen Ziming was very satisfied. What the young general said about keeping time was based on the combat effectiveness of Liu Bei's army. That is to say, if the enemy who came to attack was Liu Bei's army, the combat effectiveness was strong and the siege weapons were complete. Under such circumstances, ten days should be enough to overcome such a dangerous hurdle. The young general said half a month, but he was confident.

"This place is the junction of Liangzhou, Yizhou, and Hanzhong. Although the three places are in the hands of the big man, they must not be relaxed." If any of Liangzhou, Yizhou, and Hanzhong is not in Liu Bei's hands, the defenders here Absolutely tens of thousands, now there are [-] soldiers and horses here, which is already considered very important, and it is very difficult for the enemy to approach here now.

"promise!"

Chen Ziming checked the arsenal and found that there was enough stock, enough to consume [-] defenders for a month. After that, Chen Ziming didn't stay any longer. It's just a cover, his goal is Chengdu.

Tianshui Pass also has [-] defenders, and its defenses are relatively strict. After Tianshui Pass, there is the most dangerous pass in Yizhou, Jiange. There are [-] defenders here. Jiange is not lost, and Yizhou is not lost.

"Such a dangerous pass, I alone can guard it!"

Standing on the Jiange for the first time, looking at the steep and rugged road, Guan Yu felt a big heart, and at the same time thought of a sentence, one man should be the gate, and ten thousand men should not be opened. In such a place, he can also do it.

"Second brother deserves this honor for his bravery." Chen Ziming didn't think Guan Yu was talking big, but the condition was that the enemy army would give Guan Yu time to rest, otherwise Guan Yu could be exhausted to death if they came here and again to kill him.

"General Guan Hai, this place must not fall into the hands of others." It was rare for Guan Yu to personally order this, but it was a very strict military order.

Guan Hai, who was even a head taller than Guan Yu, said solemnly: "The big man is undefeated, and this place is not lost."
