Chapter 3201 Round Machine Beads Lively

Compared with the large-scale wars, refugees and population migration in Guanzhong, Longyou, and population migration, the Hanzhong area is relatively stable. In history, it was not until Lao Cao moved the population of Hanzhong that it caused a relatively heavy blow to the foundation of Hanzhong.

Humans are land-based animals, so they are born with a certain preference for the land. Of course, some people will also like the sky or the sea, but most people still like to be on land, rather than empty and nothing under their feet.

The same is true for Li Dian. He would rather keep what he has in his hands and feet, and would never think about what else is in the sky or in the deep water. This determines that Li Dian is definitely a very qualified general of the territory, but he will lack in external development. In history, Li Dian was posthumously named Marquis of Min, and "Worrying in the country" is enough to prove this.

When a general does not strive for achievements and does not have too strong ambitions, he will naturally be very calm.

In the camp under the night sky, noise gradually arose.

Li Dian's soldiers and horses in Hanzhong woke up from their sleep amid the short whistle, and began to tidy up their sleeping gear, lined up to wash, and then lined up to eat.

No one will chatter and make noise, because once they are caught by military discipline officials, they will be hungry at the least, and punished at the worst.

Early dried jerky is usually very simple, steamed cakes and heated soup.

In Li Dian's camp, in addition to some of the veterans who had previously sneaked into Sichuan with Fei and some of the soldiers left behind by Zhang Liao in the late period, there were also some newly recruited soldiers, and about half of the new and veteran soldiers accounted for half.

Many of them are Di people.

The Di people are widely distributed.

Relatively speaking, the Di people in Nanzheng were more closely connected with the Han people than the Di people in Shangyong area.

The recruits were a little nervous when they entered the battle, but looking at the old soldiers around them looking indifferent, eating steamed cakes on their own and drinking soup in big mouthfuls, the tension in the recruits seemed to relax, and they also bite the steamed cakes for a few bites, as if they were cheering themselves up.

Everyone finished their meal silently. Soon after, the assemblies at the camp sounded, and the soldiers stood up one after another, arranged according to Wu Shi in their own teams.

After the small team is finished, the leaders of each team will start to check the team's equipment.

The focus is on the equipment and dry food carried by each soldier.

In the early days, there were cases where new soldiers could not control themselves, secretly ate the dried food they were given, and then were hung up and beaten.

Dry food itself is for emergency response, and is distributed at a fixed time, not as snacks for soldiers.

The soldiers checked each other, pulled the silk ribbons of the armor to see if it was tight, whether it was tied properly, then pulled out the battle knife to see if it was well maintained and rusted. Finally, they would check the soldiers' dry food bags. If there was no problem, they would pat the soldiers' shoulders...

If there is any problem, it is not a slap on the shoulder, but a slap on the head.

After the inspection is completed, if there is no problem, you will stand in front of your queue and raise a small triangle red flag.

Generally speaking, under the cavalry, the configuration of the infantry queue is mixed in teams, rather than like Cao's army, where a team has shields and archers.

Such a team-based combination has its pros and cons.

However, it is a promotion for cultivating grassroots military academies.

After the inspection of the Geshi queue, the soldiers of the same team had to listen to the team leader's gathering and training.

Some teams can't make a few nonsense, while others can master this skill. In this process, the teams who get the growth rate will be qualified to be promoted to higher positions...

"Cao army is like a wolve! They want to enter our garden, eat our food, seize our property, and harm our relatives!"

"Think about what kind of life you lived ten years ago! Now who gave you the equipment and the stability of your family!"

"Whether the land can be preserved depends on whether we can defeat Cao's army!"

"The Cao army caused trouble in Shandong. It was massacred in Xuzhou. Tens of thousands of people were killed and the entire county town was burned out! Do you want the Cao army to kill our family?"

『…』

Although these lectures are often very simple and even repetitive, they are just right for these ordinary soldiers, and most soldiers will nod and agree with each other.

As long as the ruling class does not have cramps in its head and does things that are angry and resentful, most of the time, local defense will have a certain advantage.

So now, Fei Qian, or Hanzhong under Li Dian's management, is the heaven angry and the people resentful?

To put it another way, did Shangyong cause resentment in the hands of Shen?

Where is the Shandong area over Cao Cao?

Or, what is the loss of people's hearts and resentment in people's livelihood?

"Prepare to set off! Go to Mulan Pass to change defense!"

...

...

The sky gradually became brighter.

Although spring is beginning, the temperature is still not high, especially in the valleys and roads, which is a bit colder.

Although there has not been heavy snow in the past two days, there is a lot of snow on the top and the hillside. Some melted snow water flows down the rock walls of the mountain, adding a little coldness and making the mountain road look extremely wet and slippery.

Cao Zhen walked step by step along the mountain road with his men.

The difficulty of walking on the mountain road exceeded Cao Zhen’s original expectations.

Especially in this kind of weather, when you walk fast, the sweat in your body and the moisture from the outside are mixed together, and then it will soon penetrate all the warm clothes. It feels like wearing a wet quilt on your body. Not only will it not keep warm, but it will also tremble with coldness. If you walk slowly, let’s not talk about the distance. If you walk slowly, you will get blowing and getting frozen in the mountain road. Who likes to stay longer?

Since Mulan Stop is called Stop, it naturally has its own name.

If you want to bypass the Mulansai, the gate between the two mountains, you must climb the surrounding winding Qinling remnants.

Although the tallest brother in the Qinling Mountains is not in the Shangyong area of ​​Hanzhong, his younger brother is enough for Cao Zhen to eat. And the most important thing about climbing the mountain is to have a guide. If he loses his direction, the whole army may be able to do anything.

Cao Zhen left a camp in front of Mulan Pass, set up a flag, and then took his people around.

There was no way, he had to come in person.

If you walk this kind of mountain road, even if ordinary soldiers can walk, they will be abandoned after they finish walking. If Cao Zhen is asked to hand over the elite soldiers in his hands to others, if the person and others are a little less powerful and lead the lame, then Cao Zhen will be abandoned by the Di people and Shen soldiers. Take one of them, and Cao Zhen would rather control his destiny in his own hands than wait passively.

In addition, if people are living together, one is that time is too late, and the other is that there is a problem with the number. The Cao family has not yet wanted to get along with the Shen family, but has to turn against the Shangyong people completely. In history, Lao Cao also endured his life until he was about to evacuate Hanzhong, and then migrated the population of Hanzhong on a large scale. This is the same principle.

If the war is really unfavorable, then the Cao army will definitely not be able to go in vain. No matter what you say, it will completely empty the Shangyong area and turn it into a blank land. It will not be cheaper for the cavalry. However, in this situation, it is still necessary to stabilize the local gentry and not to completely turn against each other.

This was still the honeymoon period between the Cao family and the Shen family. Shen Dan also knew that if he fought against Mulan Stop, the casualties would be very serious, and a large part of the casualties would be Shen's soldiers. Therefore, after Cao Zhen proposed the detour strategy, he was also very cooperative. Not only did he contribute a lot of food and grass, but he also acted as much as possible outside the Mulan Stop to cover up Cao Zhen's movements and create more time for Cao Zhen.

But this mountain road is really hard to walk on.

It was so cold at night that I hope the sun would come out during the day, but when the sun came out during the day, the melting snow water not only made the temperature in the mountains unable to rise, but also caused fog to spread around the top and the hillside, and going in and out is a huge test.

In such an environment, let alone humans, even the ponies in Sichuan and Sichuan were in a mess. They nodded their heads with difficulty, moved step by step, spitting out loud, and squirting all the mouth and nose with white frost.

If you happen to encounter a mountain mist blowing down, the people and horses will shook like sieves when they penetrated in the wind.

Fortunately, Cao Zhen came, they were all elite Cao's army, and they were directly under the ranks. They were stronger and stronger than ordinary Cao's soldiers. They were always fed and fed, but they couldn't stand this kind of hard work. At the beginning, it was fine, but gradually they couldn't suppress their emotions and low complaints spread.

The troops directly under Cao Zhen are not bad. After all, the whole family is following Cao Zhen for dinner. If Cao Zhen dies, they will be unforgivable to live alone. So now Cao Zhen is walking ahead, and as long as they have a breath, they must follow him.

But the other elite Cao army is different...

Some of these elite Cao troops came from Qingzhou, some were from Yanzhou, and some were selected by Cao Ren and Cao Zhen in Jingzhou. Although they became troops directly under Cao Zhen's command, the military service was more generous, but it did not mean that they could completely obey Cao Zhen.

『…Isn’t it just a military camp? Isn’t it a battalion or a military camp in the early years? Why do you have to take a careful detour this time? Wouldn’t you just do it?”

"This mountain of Shangyong is really fucked. I climbed one or another, endlessly..."

"I didn't have such a miserable past when I was fighting Jizhou!"

"Not that, at least there is still some hot soup rice in the military camp, now..."

These complaints and complaints are not big or small.

Of course, Cao Zhen heard all these complaints in his ears, but he was calm and did not turn back and scold the soldiers. To convince these veterans of the Cao army, it is useless to just say what military laws are, but to rely on the true ability of the general.

But the question is, how many "fighting records" can Cao Zhen come up with?

So Cao Zhen did not move, and he didn't even look back, but just walked forward silently step by step.

After a long time, I continued to complain.

Walking in a peaceful ground is different. Climbing mountains and ridges is really tiring. If no one cares about complaining, then it would be better to just say a fart.

It is better to keep your energy and walk without saying anything.

Is Cao Zhen really uncomfortable listening to it?

Actually, not.

So Cao Zhen also wanted to make a breakthrough, and he would eat meat. Can't he get through...

...

...

Under the Mulan.

The war drums roared.

According to Cao Zhen's instructions, Shen Dan drove some civilians and some Cao's soldiers to attack Mulansai.

Do nothing, it's almost obvious that there is something wrong...

As for the civil servants?

Shen Dan didn't think there was anything wrong with driving these people in Sandian County.

On the one hand, the main forces of the Shen family were concentrated in Shangyong, and there was not much direct asset connection for small places like Jian County. On the other hand, the small gentry around Jian County was not very proud of Shen Yi, which made Shen Yi unable to collect food and grass at that time, and then the incident of the Di people occurred. So now Shen Dan came to avenge Shen Yi. What's the problem?

Shen Dan felt that there was no problem at all.
