    "Oxwoodwooden cow?" Fazheng blurted out in surprise.

    Not only Fazheng, but also the important civil and military officials on the left and right, and even the officers and soldiers of the three armies were all shocked, and everyone was extremely surprised.

    Yuan Fang smiled faintly: "Yes, the thing that carries grain and grass is a wooden ox. To be precise, it should be called a wooden ox and a flowing horse."

    "A wooden cow and a stray horse?" Fazheng was surprised again when he heard this unheard name.

    On that day, Yuan Fang discussed with his advisers how to capture Hanzhong. Everyone, including Yuan Fang, reached a consensus that the biggest problem in capturing Hanzhong was how to transport grain.

    For example, when transporting grain across the plains, a dingfu might only need one stone to transport ten shi of grain to the destination.

    "But on the Qinling Valley Road like Xiegu, the same journey is rugged and difficult to travel, and it will take double, or even two or three times the time on the road.

    As a result, more grain and grass will be consumed by the servants on the road. Ten shi of grain and grass will be transported to the destination, and the remaining six or seven shi will not be enough.

    "Furthermore, the valley roads in the Qinling Mountains are narrow, and it is impossible to use vehicles. We can only carry them manually or by livestock. The single transportation volume is also much lower than in the plains.

    Yuan Fang had enough food in the past, so there was no need to worry, but now that the Battle of Guanlong has just ended, the food and grass consumption is extremely large, and the autumn food has not yet come down. In this case, the existing food and grass alone are not enough to afford 200,000 yuan.  The army consumes such a huge amount of food and grass.

    When Yuan Fang was worried about this matter, Zhuge Liang suddenly asked to see him, claiming that he had looked through his Zhuge family's collection of books and found a mechanical transportation tool called a wooden ox and a flowing horse.

    ??And this wooden cow is like a horse, with wooden mechanical legs.  Instead of wheels, it can not only carry four hundred kilograms of grain and grass in its belly, but can also walk on rugged mountain roads under the traction of human power.

    Zhuge Liang felt that this wooden ox and flowing horse were simply a strange transportation tool tailor-made for mountain transportation, so he decisively presented it to Yuan Fang.

    Yuan Fang also suddenly remembered that in the past history, Zhuge Liang was in the northern expedition to Wei.  Once upon a time, wood flow cattle and horses were produced in large quantities.  To overcome the problem of inconvenient mountain transportation.

    The ancestral method presented by Zhuge Liang today must be like a wooden cow and a lost horse in history.

    Therefore, Yuan Fang immediately ordered Zhuge Liang to summon the craftsmen from Guanlong and even Sili.  Xingye rushed to build thousands of wooden oxen and horses.  It was thought that this southern expedition would transport grain and grass.

    And for the sake of confidentiality.  Even before sending troops, Yuan Fang did not reveal his "secret weapon" to his ministers.

    until today.

    Fazheng and other ministers rode their horses forward.  Everyone who gathered around looked at this exquisitely crafted device that ran smoothly on rough roads was amazed and filled with emotion.

    "This wooden ox and horse are really a magical tool for transporting grain in the mountains. No wonder the king insisted on sending the main army from the Xie Valley. It turned out that he had been prepared for it. In vain, I had been worried for a long time." Fazheng was amazed and laughed at himself.

    Yuan Fang laughed, pointed his halberd to the south, and said boldly: "With these wooden cows and stray horses, no matter how dangerous the Qinling Mountains are, they will never be able to block the progress of my Qi army. The whole army can follow me and enter the Xie Valley boldly."

    The heroic laughter echoed in the valley.

    Fazheng and other civil and military officers and soldiers no longer had any worries and were in high spirits. They followed Yuan Fang into the inclined valley.

    Eighty thousand infantry and cavalry troops marched slowly toward Hanzhong along the winding and rugged sloping valley road.

    On the rugged mountain roads, thousands of wooden oxen and stray horses carried hundreds of thousands of stones and grains, and continuously transported them to the front line.

    ¡­¡­

    Nanzheng City, Military Mansion.

    In the lobby, Zhang Luzheng and his guest general Han Sui toasted and drank together, chatting and laughing, looking confident as if they were sitting firmly on the fishing platform.

    "General Han's prediction is indeed true. Yuan Fang really came out of Chencang and attacked Yangping Pass from the main road. Now I have sent Zhang Wei and 30,000 elite troops to reinforce the defense. Even if Yuan Fang has wings, he will never get past me.  Yangpingguan Tianxian."

    Zhang Lu raised his glass and drank heavily, looking like he knew everything, and he was very proud and confident.

    Han Sui also sneered and said: "It's hard for that boy Yuan Fang. Let's take the Chencang Avenue. He has to face the natural danger of Yangpingguan. Let's take the three valley roads in the north. He doesn't have that much food and grass for transportation. I  It is expected that his invasion of Hanzhong will be defeated."

    Zhang Lu became more energetic and drank several cups in a row.

    "That boy Yuan Fang is invincible in the north. He is invincible and almost unbeatable. But now he will be defeated by the master. After this battle, the master will be famous all over the world." Han Sui observed the words and said  He complimented him casually.

    Zhang Lu found it very helpful and couldn't help laughing.

    Yan Pu, the counselor on the side, saw that Zhang Lu believed that the terrain in Hanzhong was dangerous and looked down upon Yuan Fang. He couldn't help butHis brows were furrowed and his face looked worried.

    Unable to bear it any longer, Yan Pu reminded: "Master, Yuan Fang is like a god with his troops. He is best at winning by surprise. Even Yuan Shao is not his opponent. Our soldiers in Hanzhong have never experienced any real battle formations, so we should be careful."  That¡¯s it.¡±

    Yan Pu¡¯s reminder hinted that Zhang Lu underestimated the enemy.

    Zhang Lu¡¯s face sank slightly, and he suddenly felt unhappy.

    Then Han Sui also said: "Yuan Fang is really good at using troops. Han was defeated miserably by him. Han never denies this. However, the natural dangers of the Qinling Mountains cannot be overcome by manpower. Even if Yuan Fang  No matter how skillful he is with his troops, can he still be able to fight against the odds? "

    In one sentence, Yan Pu was left speechless and didn't know how to respond.

    A proud sneer appeared on the corner of Han Sui's mouth.

    At this moment, a Hanzhong soldier hurried in and said with cupped hands: "Master Shijun, Chang'an is reporting urgently. Not long ago, Yuan Fang sent three more armies to Hanzhong from Ziwu Valley, Luo Valley and Xie Valley.  Attack. The enemy leader Yuan Fang personally led an army of 80,000 people and came straight to Xiegu."

    This piece of information was like a thunderclap, instantly shattering the sneer that had just appeared on Han Sui's face.

    Zhang Lu¡¯s expression changed drastically, and Yan Pu frowned.

    "Is Yuan Fang out of his mind? How dare he take the north valley road?" Han Sui exclaimed, his face looking both embarrassed and shocked.

    Zhang Lu was also surprised, and frowned and said: "Yuan Fang, this kid, is so crazy. Is it true that he has so much food and grass that he doesn't even care about the dangers of the Qinling Mountains?"

    Zhang Lu was completely puzzled by Yuan Fang's behavior.  He was deeply shocked by Yuan Fang's arrogant actions.

    Han Sui woke up from the shock and snorted coldly: "This guy's food and grass can never afford the consumption of transportation on the Qinling Valley Road. Since he is so crazy, then we will severely dampen his spirit."

    At that moment, Han Sui asked for orders to lead a troop and camp in person at the south entrance of Xiegu to block Yuan Fang's road into the Hanzhong Plain.

    Zhang Lu had no other choice.  Only Han Sui was ordered to lead more than 20,000 troops.  Go to Xiegu to block Yuan Fang's main force.

    In addition, Yang Ren and Yang Bai, each with five thousand troops and horses, were sent to guard Ziwu Valley and Luo Valley.

    Zhang Lu has been running Hanzhong for decades.  The total number of troops under his command is about 60,000.  Today, in order to resist the attack of Yuan Fang's four armies.  Almost all the troops have been exhausted.

    The head of Nanzheng City.

    Zhang Lu stood on the city wall, watching his last army march out of Nanzheng.  They went to the entrance of the three valleys respectively, their expressions were quite solemn.

    "Perhaps, Yu Ji is right. This Yuan Fang is too powerful, and I am no match for him. Maybe, I really should agree to Yu Ji's conditions"

    His face wavered slightly, then became determined again.

    "No, the Qinling Mountains are a dangerous place in the sky, and Yuan Fang is not a god, so I don't believe he can overcome it. As long as we spend ten and a half days with him until he runs out of food, we will naturally retreat without a fight. This must be the case."

    Zhang Lu took a deep breath, and his originally gloomy expression suddenly became arrogant.

    ¡­¡­

    The south entrance of Xiegu.

    Yuan Fang led an army of 80,000 troops, and after nearly fifteen days of arduous march, they finally arrived at the south entrance of Xiegong Valley.

    Only one step away, his iron hooves can step into the Hanzhong Plain.

    But Han Sui, who was stationed at the mouth of the valley in advance, and his 20,000 Hanzhong soldiers blocked his way with a strong fortress.

    The enemy camp is strong, their morale is high, and they are waiting for work. Although Yuan Fang has many soldiers and horses, attacking at this time may not have any effect.

    Yuan Fang was not in a hurry and set up camp a few miles north of the enemy camp, forming a confrontation.

    Ten days, twenty days, thirty days

    This confrontation soon lasted for more than a month.

    For a month, Yuan Fang was not in a hurry to attack. He only ordered his soldiers to practice hard and ordered the rear transportation team to transport hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass across the Qinling Mountains to the front line with wooden streams, cattle and horses.

    With enough food and grass, the morale of the soldiers will naturally be as stable as Mount Tai. At the very least, they can keep their morale intact.

    On the other hand, the enemy troops, from Han Sui to ordinary soldiers, began to become more and more uneasy as the confrontation continued.

    Han Sui originally thought that the hundreds of miles of rugged valley roads in the Xie Valley were his best weapon. It was difficult for Yuan Fang to transport grain and grass, and he could only hold out for half a month at most, and he would surely retreat due to lack of food and grass.

    But what surprised him was that Yuan Fang miraculously spent a month with him, and according to the current situation, it was possible that it would continue forever.

    "What's going on? That boy doesn't seem to worry about food and grass at all. Could it be thatThe transportation teams in the army all have wings. Can they fly across the Qinling Mountains to transport grain and grass to the front line?  "

    In the large tent of the Chinese army, Han Sui was anxious and confused. He was puzzled and gradually lost his composure.

    At this time, Zhang Heng, a general in the army, hurried in and said with a panic expression: "My lord, our detailed investigation revealed that the Qi army had built a kind of transportation tool called a wooden ox and a flowing horse, which can cross mountains and ridges like real oxen and horses, and it can also  Carrying several times the weight of grain and grass, the Qi army relied on wooden oxen and flowing horses to continuously transport grain to Xiegu. "

    A wooden cow or a stray horse?

    Like a real cow, crossing mountains and ridges?

    Han Sui was horrified. Hearing this unheard thing, he was so shocked that he seemed to have heard the most bizarre and terrifying thing in the world.

    "YuanYuan Fang, where did you get thisthis magical thing?" Han Sui's voice was trembling.

    "The general doesn't know either. I only know that the Qi army has these wooden cows and stray horses, so the transportation of grain and grass will not be a problem at all." Zhang Heng said with a bitter face.  ,

    Han Sui was puzzled and so shocked that he couldn't even speak.

    At this time, the pro-army troops hurriedly entered again and exclaimed: "General, there is an urgent report from Yangping Pass to the west. The enemy general Zhuge Liang has sneaked past the side of Yangping Pass and made a surprise attack on Dingjun Mountain, the important place for our army to store grain!"

    "What!"

    Han Sui's spirit was hit hard again, and his old face was instantly distorted with shock.  (To be continued)
