『It is!』 Zhang Ji said excitedly, 『This Cao army stopped siege and reduced the stove fire. It must be because of lack of food and grass, so we have to reduce food and repair it! We can take this opportunity to defeat Cao's army in one fell swoop! In this way, we can turn the troops and fight against the enemy from the north! Wonderful! That's it!』

Jia Qu frowned and said, "But with the strong pass, the benefits of fighting and defense, and the support of food and grass, isn't it safer?"

Zhang Ji reached out and pointed at Cao's camp and said, "Empress! If you don't take this opportunity to defeat Cao's army and wait for Cao's army to obtain support, wouldn't you miss the opportunity? Even if you regret it, it would be useless!"

Jia Qu thought for a long time, "I am worried that Cao's army will use a plan..."

"Use a plan?" Zhang Ji laughed and said, "Cao army, can you use the belly of soldiers to use the plan? The envoy is just too careful! I am willing to issue a military order! This battle will definitely kill the leader of the thief generals of the Cao army!"

Jia Qu remained silent.

Zhang Ji jumped and said, "I know that the envoy has always been cautious! But if you miss the opportunity now, you are afraid that it is not cautious, but... but you are afraid of fighting!"

When Jia Qu heard this, his eyes became more and more worried. Although Zhang Ji did not say it clearly, how could he not feel the anger contained in his words?

This is what he has always been worried about.

Zhang Ji is older than Jia Qu. Although Zhang Ji has always expressed his obedience to Jia Qu's orders, it was because there was no war in daily life. There was no conflict between civil and military officials, so there was naturally no dispute. But now in the face of war, Jia Qu used civil and military officials to generalize military officials. Zhang Ji did not say anything on the surface, but more or less, some of the meaning of me in the past...

Jia Qu felt these things and felt a faint smell of an abnormal breath.

Before, Jia Qu did not allow Zhang Ji to attack, not because he really wanted to "fight with his back", but because he relied on the city wall and pass defense. It would obviously be much safer than assaulting in the mountains. In the surrounding situation, he would not easily enter areas without any intelligence. Although some opportunities would be missed, he also avoided many dangers.

But Jia Qu is now difficult to convince Zhang Ji, who is already extremely excited.

Jia Qu said that I think Zhang Ji can also say that he thinks that once Zhang Ji and Jia Qu have a discord between generals and ministers, it will have an extremely bad impact on the entire Huguan defense.

Jia Qu looked at the Cao Jun camp under the city.

There were indeed significantly fewer soldiers in Cao's camp.

This phenomenon can be said to be because the Cao army lacks food and grass, and has to repair and reduce daily consumption, but it can also be said that the Cao army made a plan to lure troops. How can we explain it clearly in words?

Zhang Ji urged, "Empress! Don't defend the city! This is mentioned in the martial arts lecture hall!"

Yes, this is not wrong, but the martial arts lecture hall also says that you should not attack the city...

In the art of military affairs, there are many contradictory words like this. Different battlefields must have different situations. How can one take a sentence as a guideline?

Jia Qu stared at the city, was silent for a while, and said, "General Zhang... If you really want to fight, I have some ideas here. Please listen to it..."

...

...

To the north of Shangdang, Huangniushi Mountain.

Because the mountain is like a cow's hooves, there are deep valleys in it, hence the name.

Shi Jian looked up and frowned so hard that he could kill the insects. "Can you go around?"

He led his soldiers to attack the Huangniuti Mountain military camp for two or three days, and the damage was quite serious. What is important is that he failed to cause any obvious damage to the Huangniuti Mountain military camp. Because the Huangniuti Mountain military camp was stuck in the gap of the Hunti Mountain, the expansion surface was not large, and the number of soldiers invested at one time was limited, which really gave Shi Jian a headache.

"You can go around..." The guide said frowningly, "But it's not easy to walk... Go to the left, there is no people or water along the way, and you have to reach Xiaowangou to have water, nearly two hundred miles... Go to the right, go into Bafeng Mountain and you can walk along Zhuozhang River, but this road is longer..."

Shi Jian scratched his head, "No water?"

This is a big problem.

From Shexian to Shangdang, it seems that the straight line is not far away, but it is not close to you when you walk.

Because Cao's army needs to travel along the water source, even if it leaves the water source line, it must be a short time. At least two days, or at most three days to find new water sources for replenishment...

Moreover, after leaving the Taihang Mountains, many of the mountains are not high, so there is no way to use the ice and snow that has not melted all year round on the top of the mountain.

Perhaps in the concepts of many people in later generations, water is not a problem at all.

Where can there be no water?

Once the faucet is opened, go to the supermarket if it doesn’t work. How can there be no water?

But now, the water problem is really blocking Shi Jian, Le Jin and others...

Shi Jian’s goal is to meet with Lejin along the two mountains between Wuding Mountain and Taihang Mountain.

In Shangdang, there is a vertical mountain range that runs north and south. The north is Laoding Mountain, Wuding Mountain in the middle, and Shaoding Mountain in the south. As for why it is called "Ding", it is said that there are relics of the two emperors of Yan and Huang on the mountain, which are items left by Yan and Huang before they climb to the sky. However, these legends are actually available in other places, so the specific details cannot be investigated.

Compared with his elder brother, Taihang Mountains next door, this long-shaped mountain range is simply a younger brother. If you really want to climb over the dense forest on the top of the mountain or between valleys, it is not completely impossible, but the problem is the same as the problem Shi Jian is facing now, without water.

Even in later generations, in the era when rabbits had not had crazy large infrastructure, many villages in the mountainous areas of Shanxi still had to drink water according to God's face. It took dozens of miles of mountain road to get a bucket of water. There was also a story about a young wife falling down on the way home from the water, and then the water fell down, and she collapsed on the spot and hanged herself in the middle of the night...

The story may not be true, but in this area, it is true that drinking water is difficult.

This situation is a difficulty that Cao Jun, who came from Shandong, could not understand or adapt to.

You should know that in the Han Dynasty, Jizhou and Wuchao, Jingzhou Nanjun Jiangxia and other places had more than half of the land in Yunmengze, and it stretched for hundreds of miles and was filled with water...

Where there are water and roads, they are basically blocked by the defenders, such as Huguan Pass and the Yellow Ox Hoof Military Village in front of Shi Jian.

Although there is no one to guard those places where there is no water, you can let Cao's army come and go, but the problem is how to get the water?

The Cao army was mostly infantry, and the speed of traveling could not be faster.
