Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The day after Xu You cut off Chen Xi's food supply, Zhuge Liang went to report to Chen Xi about his work in the recent period. Of course, there were no major events during this period except for building fortifications everywhere. Chen Xi never thought about having a field battle with Xu You.  The goal is to hold the opponent back.

    As for why he knew that the other party was Xu You, he could only guess it based on some intelligence. Although he was a little worried about why Xu You disappeared inexplicably, this did not affect Chen Xi. Even if his opponent did not appear, he would not care about him at all.  All he had to do was build Linyi.

    Now that Chen Xi has given up on bringing his wife to Linyi, the all-out war has begun, and Chen Xi is not sure that he will not be harmed at all, so the matter of Chen Lan's coming to Linyi was decisively put out by Chen Xi. What he has to think about now is the six.  Finish this war a month ago, and then return to my hometown to wait for the birth of my child.

    "Is there anything else going on with Kong Ming?"  After listening to the report, Chen Xi continued to review military affairs, but found that Zhuge Liang had not left yet and looked up in confusion and asked.

    "Oh, the rations have arrived, but there are no reconnaissance riders from the second escort team?" Chen Xi looked up and asked with a solemn expression.

    "Has this arriving grain and fodder escort team ever given a message to the following escort team?" Chen Xi asked with a relieved expression as he recalled the previous situation.

    "No." Zhuge Liang shook his head and said. Last time, Chen Xi withdrew a Yamen general and even wrote a letter to warn the soldiers escorting the grain and grass in the rear.  Who dares to mess around after this?

    "Oh, how many days of food and grass do our troops have?" Chen Xi said.

    "Originally, there were forty-five days of food and fodder. This batch of food and fodder escort troops sent three more days of food and fodder, totaling forty-eight days of food and fodder." Zhuge Liang said with a smile.  Chen Xi's order to the grain transport team seemed to Zhuge Liang to be very unreliable. Who could only transport grain for three days?

    "Send reconnaissance cavalry to investigate via the official road, in groups of three, and send out one group in half an hour. If there is no reply after ten groups, be prepared for someone to come from behind us. By the way, send someone to Licheng via Jishui  ." Chen Xi raised his head and said.

    "Is it so serious?"  Zhuge Liang said in disbelief.

    "It's just a precaution to prevent trouble before it happens. Besides, Licheng is the second food route I prepared, so it's not serious. How can I put it, if none of the ten groups of reconnaissance cavalry have responded, then it's basically certain that there is a problem in our rear.  "Chen Xi said nonchalantly. Anyway, what happened at the rear was not his responsibility. As long as he was fine, someone would naturally solve the matter behind him.

    Seeing that Zhuge Liang was still puzzled, Chen Xi said helplessly, "Kong Ming, think carefully about how many days it will take for the grain and grass to be transported from Feicheng to here."

    Zhuge Liang was startled.  Then he suddenly realized, "So if none of the ten groups of reconnaissance riders come back, then the opponent is probably only one day away from us."

    "One day? How can we still have such a long journey to catch up with the outgoing baggage train? And if we can catch up with the two-day journey, I am afraid that all the opponents are cavalry, plus the time wasted by the reconnaissance cavalry. The distance is  We only have three hours of running distance at most," Chen Xi said with a shrug.

    "It seems that you have been focusing on Miss Huang recently, and you are a little confused." Chen Xi said helplessly.  It is said that some of the doctors accompanying the army are women, so Huang Yueying said that she wanted to stay and do research.  Chen Xi took one look at Zhuge Liang and agreed.

    Of course, the responsibility of protecting Huang Yueying was left to Zhuge Liang. It was called to enhance feelings. In fact, Chen Xi just took a fancy to Huang Yueying's incredible manufacturing ability. The three-arrow crossbow that fired continuously, the Qu family never understood. Huang Yueying dismantled it.  After more than a dozen strong crossbows, they were forcibly made.

    Although there are still problems with accuracy and shooting range, it is undeniable that this person is really a genius. Maybe her mechanical talent has exceeded ordinary people's imagination. As for the strength of materials, this is not a problem. Chen Xi has already equipped her with it.  A dozen soldiers with inner energy are used to warm and nourish the materials.

    Zhuge Liang sighed. He was indeed a little absent-minded, but the more reason was that he had never been exposed to this kind of planning method.

    Just like Guo Jia's method of spreading reconnaissance cavalry according to the degree, Chen Xi's food transportation time has also been given a dead order. In fact, Chen Xi's camp is not very short of food. Forty-five days of food will be delivered directly at the beginning of the month.  Check once every three months.

    As for the transportation of grain every three days, Chen Xi just wanted to prevent someone from robbing his grain route.

    From Feicheng to Chen Xi's Dazhai, it only takes three days to form a cavalry with one man and one horse, and it takes five days to escort the grain. Chen Xi's order to Feicheng's military quarters is to send out a wave of grain every three days, and the second wave of grain will be sent out.  On the way, a scout rider needs to be sent to the previous wave every day.

    This way Chen Xi can be prepared if someone cuts his way out. After all, the reconnaissance cavalry is fast and the baggage is slow. Basically, the former oneWhen the heavy baggage team was about to arrive at Chen Xi's camp, the first reconnaissance cavalry of the second wave of baggage truck caught up with them.

    In this way, the first wave of baggage trains has arrived, but the reconnaissance cavalry has not arrived. There are only two possibilities. One is that the reconnaissance cavalry is gone, and the other is that the baggage trains are gone. This is official. If it disappears inexplicably, then there is no need to continue.  If you think about it too much, just get ready to fight, it doesn't matter.

    Having said that, after Zhuge Liang figured out what was going on, he felt that Chen Xi was just playing around by only transporting grain for three days at a time. No wonder he often saw some strange things when counting the grain and grass he transported. The grain and grass transported by emotions were not at all  Important, important arrival at the right time.

    "But are we just going to let the other side stay behind us and just defend the camp?"  Zhuge Liang looked at Chen Xi and suggested that he was still a little too young after all, and he really had no experience on the battlefield.

    "We don't know the opponent's strength. After all, half of Dongping doesn't belong to us. As for the rear, Wenhe and Wenru have been waiting for so long and made so many preparations. They really thought it was a joke, so they just stayed there.  Anyway, our main task is to stay here." Chen Xi said nonchalantly, as long as the opponent can use any number of tricks.

    "I don't doubt that you have a plan, but what I'm worried about is the Yellow River and Jishui. If they guard those two places, we may be crucified here." Zhuge Liang pointed to Chiping and Jishui Ferry and said.

    "In fact, I have deployed the troops of two villages in Chiping. I have not deployed the troops at Jishui Ferry. However, there are water thieves in Jishui. This is a hidden food route that I prepared in advance, so I accompany Yuan Shao to play and go and bring it to me.  Fa Xiaozhi is here." Chen Xi nodded, and then directly prepared for someone to outflank him.  (To be continued)
