System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

"I already know."

Dong Yu nodded slightly and walked to the hung map.

He told everyone the details he had learned from Li Ru.

At the same time, he also expressed some of his own speculations.

"My lord, I have an idea."

Zhang He looked at the marked points, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"explain."

Dong Yu nodded slightly and looked at Zhang He.

Dong Yuke has never underestimated this person.

As a man who was active from the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the late Three Kingdoms period, Zhang He had high military command ability and intelligence.

"I think we can burn the enemy's food supply route."

"The most critical plank roads leading out of Shu could be the enemy's food supply routes."

"And if the food supply route is burned, the enemy's logistics will be completely cut off."

"Han Sui and Ma Teng alone cannot sustain a long-term battle."

Zhang He's eyes were sharp and he spoke loudly.

"General Zhang's words are very reasonable."

"If we fight in other places, it might be difficult for us to guess the location of the enemy's food supply route, and it would take a lot of time and manpower to explore."

"But this time it's different."

"The only way out of Hanzhong is through these plank roads."

"It's absolutely impossible to use the Tangluo Road or the Ziwu Road. If the enemy is transporting food and fodder along these two roads, it's for us."

"Therefore, either the Baoxia Road or the Chencang Road is the enemy's food supply route."

Xun You inserted two short arrows into the Baoxiade Road and Chencang Road respectively.

"We only have one chance."

"The enemy army is still unaware of the arrival of our reinforcements, so even if there are troops guarding the food supply route, their morale will definitely be weakened."

Dong Yu looked at everyone, obviously asking for their opinions.

pick one of two!

If selected, it will be easier to repel the enemy.

"Chen Cang Road!"

"Baoxia Road!"

Two voices came from the counselor and the general respectively.

Guo Jia and Xun You both agreed that it was Chencang Road, but the generals all thought it was Baoxia Road.

"Tell me your reasons."

"You go first."

Dong Yu frowned and looked at Guo Jia first.

"The enemy's main force is heading out of Hanzhong via the Chencang Road. Although Chencang is still quite a distance from Mei County, it can be transported via the canal, and the journey time is not much slower than the Baoxia Road."

"But it can greatly reduce the risk of food supplies being robbed."

"The people of Shu have been away from battle for a long time, so they will not want to take risks."

Guo Jia rubbed his chin and deduced.

"I admit that I am not as good as the military advisor in terms of strategy."

"But when it comes to marching and fighting, I don't think I'm any worse than the military advisor."

"Look here."

"The Chencang Road certainly reduces risks, and after entering Sanfu, there is also grain transport available."

"But what about Hanzhong?"

"One started from Mianyang, far from Nanzheng, and the other started from Baozhong, only twenty miles away from Nanzheng."

"The amount of food and fodder consumed in this round trip is definitely not a small amount."

"I suppose all the generals have the same analysis?"

Zhang Liao's gaze did not remain on Sanfu, but moved to the starting point of grain transportation, Hanzhong!

"Ok!"

The generals nodded.

"this..."

Guo Jia and Xun You looked at each other.

Obviously, they also felt that what Zhang Liao said made some sense.

They looked at the problem from the perspective of a counselor, while Zhang Liao looked at it from the perspective of a general.

"Although I believe that the enemy's supply route this time is the Baoxia Road, I cannot deny that their previous supply route must have been the Chencang Road."

"Our army has suffered a series of defeats. The enemy's front has been pushed all the way from Chencang to the vicinity of Mei County."

"Even if this continues, it will be difficult for Mei County to hold on."

Zhang Liao's fighting ability was evident, and his words showed the demeanor of a good general.

"Hahaha."

"Congratulations, my lord. All of you generals are outstanding commanders of our time. We are humbled by your admiration."

Xun You and Guo Jia laughed out loud and quickly bowed to Dong Yu to congratulate him.

"..."

These two shameless people.

These words seemed to be deliberately testing us or giving in to us.

Zhang Liao, Zhang Xiu, Zhang He, Gao Lan and Huang Zhong looked at the two men speechlessly.

Among the five generals, except Gao Lan and Huang Zhong who have little experience in commanding troops, the other three can be said to be very experienced.

The military career of the past few years has given them a lot of experience.

Therefore, in terms of ability, he is much stronger than the three people of the same period who are developing normally.

"Okay, then lead the army to attack Baoxiadao."

"As long as we burn this plank road, the enemy's food supply will be difficult to sustain."

"This battle must be won!"

Dong Yu thrust his sword into the Baoxiade Road and made a prompt decision.

If the food supply is cut off once, it will be a huge blow to the army.

Unlike the plains, Shuzhong does not have a variety of food routes to choose from. In the plains, food and fodder can even be transported from different routes at the same time.

But it is not possible to leave Shu. There are only two or three ways out of Shu, and often there is only one option that suits the battle situation.

Once the food supply is cut off, the army on the front line will have difficulty in obtaining food, and it will be too late to transport food later.

This is also one of the reasons why Liangzi always encountered logistical problems during the Northern Expedition.
