Chapter 50 Soldiers approaching the city
"Lord, the message has just been heard from Guan Hai. Zitong Pass has been taken down and has not been noticed by the Shu army yet. The subordinates think that soldiers are very fast. The sooner Baishui Pass is taken down, the more beneficial it is for our army!" After arranging Cai Yong's accommodation, he saw Xi Zhicai bring Dian Wei over and said to Ye Zhao.
"It's coming just right!" Ye Zhao took the fox fur handed over by Dian Wei and said, "Where is Ding Li's troops?"
"It has reached Baishui Pass, but the war has not started yet."
"This battle is the main focus of attacking the heart!" Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Sent Guan Hai to lead the Air Force to approach Baishui Pass from the rear and attack it with arrow clusters. Don't attack hard!"
"Here!" Dian Wei agreed and called a personal guard to send an order. Ye Zhao led two and ten personal guards out of the city and rushed straight to the Shengong Camp. The flying boat called Ye Zhao rose into the air.
If you go to Baishui Pass, it will take at least 400 miles by land. However, if you take a flying boat, the straight-line distance is only about 200 miles. If you are on the wind, you can reach it in half a day. Even if you are on the wind, you will be equipped with manual propellers on the flying boat and you can still arrive before dark.
There is no need to worry about rushing along the way, Ye Zhao and Xi Zhicai are in the mood to enjoy the scenery along the way.
Xi Zhicai traveled all over the world in his early years, passed by Shu and also enjoyed the mountains and rivers in Shu, but he never looked at the mountains and rivers in Shu from this perspective.
"The thing that the lord made is actually a divine object. With this thing in it, the difficulty of the Shu road is just a joke." Xi Zhicai looked at the scenery along the way and said in awe.
"This cost is not low." Ye Zhao glanced at the soldiers who were adding carbon stone to the brazier, shook his head and said, "I have ordered the Shengong Camp to study how to reduce consumption. It is just that it cannot be effective for several years. This thing is suitable for surprisingly, but it is difficult to transport the soldiers on a large scale."
It is no longer easy to make this thing out thousands of years in advance. This is a technology that has been forced to improve. In terms of theory, a group of craftsmen are still exploring. Even if they already have physical objects, it will take time to form a mature theory.
Xi Zhicai nodded and said, "It is said that Lu Ban casts wooden birds and can fly for three days without falling. I thought it was nonsense, but now it seems that it may not be a false one!"
Ye Zhao nodded. Is it really hard to say? He sounded a little mysterious.
"Master...when will we arrive..." Dian Wei's rough voice was now a bit trembling.
Ye Zhao and Xi Zhicai turned their heads to look, but saw Dian Wei standing behind Ye Zhao with a pale face, with filth remaining on the corner of his mouth.
"I just started my way and I was about to reach Baishui Pass. At least it should be dusk." Ye Zhao glanced at Dian Wei speechlessly. The powerful general who could fight against Lu Bu was actually seasick!
"Lord... I'll ride a horse next time." Dian Wei felt his stomach churning, and he lay on the side of the boat and retching a few times. Unfortunately, he had already vomited everything in his stomach. How could he vomit at this moment?
"Sit a few more times and get used to it." Ye Zhao shook his head. He had no good idea for such things. At the same time, Ye Zhao suddenly thought of a problem. If he fought in Jiangdong in the future, his subordinates would not have any generals proficient in water warfare!
He then shook his head. Now there is only Hanzhong, and the north is not sure when it will be captured. Now he is thinking too much about the matter in the south.
"Ah~" Dian Wei sat down on the ground with a loud bang, looking at Ye Zhao in a divine manner. How many times did he do?
Ye Zhao shook his head and ignored him. As Ye Zhao's personal guard commander, in the future, Ye Zhao will travel long distances, and this flying boat will be the main means of transportation. How could Dian Wei not follow him?
Watching the mountains and rivers along the way, and also observing the terrain. In the future, Shuzhong and Hanzhong will be the foundation of Ye Zhao. This army still has to rely on marching. If we can take Bashu, the next step is not to fight outside the outside world, but to build the road. Only cement is not enough. Ye Zhao must find some talents who can plan and design the road.
He talked about the future naturalization of Shuzhong and how to operate it within at least ten years, and built a base camp that could support him in the battle of the world. He didn't feel bored. At dusk, under the guidance of his guide, he finally arrived at the Ding Li camp in Baishui Pass. Dian Wei almost fell down from the flying boat. Ding Li, who was watching him, was stunned.
"I'll ask someone to cook some porridge for him so I can sleep well." Ye Zhao glanced at Dian Wei speechlessly and said to Ding Li.
"Here!" Ding Li agreed and arranged for people to drive Dian Wei away, and welcome Ye Zhao and Xi Zhicai into the army.
"Then Zhao Wei refused to surrender?" Xi Zhicai looked at Ding Li and smiled.
"I really refuse, but if Jiameng has been captured by our army, we should shoot the news into the city with arrows, which will shake his morale." Ding Li bowed.
"Not bad." Ye Zhao nodded in praise and said, "Tomorrow, Guan Hai will lead the Air Force from the rear to harass him, and then he will design a surrender."
Ye Zhao looked at the direction of Baishuiguan through the tent door and said, "The terrain of this pass is too dangerous, and the strong attack and damage will be severe!"
"Has the lord ever thought about what if Zhao Wei didn't surrender?" Xi Zhicai looked at Ye Zhao with a smile.
"Shuzhong has cut off water and food." Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Shuzhong has distributed food and grass every month, so it is believed that the food and grass in Baishuiguan cannot be maintained for a long time. If he does not surrender, the soldiers under his tent will probably not be able to hold on!"
Xi Zhicai nodded and said, "This person has a great relationship with our great cause of attacking Shu. We should try our best to surrender. The lord can order the flying boat to circumn over it day and night. On the one hand, we can investigate its movements, and on the other hand, we can intimidate its army and shake its morale."
"Good, just as the military advisor." Ye Zhao nodded and said.
At the same time, Baishui Guanzhong.
"General, the soldiers who went to Jiameng Pass are back." Pang Le, the general under Zhao Wei's tent, hurried in with a hurried look on his face: "Jiameng Pass has indeed been captured by Ye Zhao. Now Ye Zhao's flag is on the top of the city, with a strong guard. Our soldiers dare not approach and investigate."
Zhao Wei closed his eyes when he heard this. What he didn't want to happen was still happening. Now the scholars in Dongzhou in Shu are fighting fiercely with local tyrants, which is already chaotic. Now there is another Ye Zhao, which is definitely not a good thing for Xichuan.
"I don't know how they sent the troops to Jiameng Pass!" Pang Le saw that Zhao Wei had nothing to say, and said worriedly: "Our army didn't notice at all!"
"At the time, a foreign object flew over Dingli's military camp, under the banner of Ye Hou!" A look of marvel flashed across Zhao Wei's face: "Although I don't know how Ye Hou did it, if this magical object helps, it will not be difficult to transport troops to Jiameng."
"Can Ye Hou be a god?" Pang Le exclaimed.
"Does the gods and men know, but with this thing helps, this Baishui Pass may not be able to block Ye Hou's army." Zhao Wei sighed.
"Then..." Pang Le looked at Zhao Wei and gritted his teeth and said, "General, why don't we surrender?"
"Surrender?" Zhao Wei shook his head with a complicated expression and said nothing.
Now that the future is broken, Ye Zhao is known as good at fighting, and he may not be able to defend for too long, but he has followed Liu Yan for many years and cannot bear to share it. Moreover, Zhao Wei is very clear about his value. If Ye Zhao is really allowed to pass, the increasingly calm state of Yizhou will be broken under Liu Yan's balance. The dispute between the rich clans of Yizhou and the scholars of Dongzhou will inevitably begin again with Ye Zhao entering Sichuan. This is not what Zhao Wei wants.
But if he did not surrender, he would really not have the confidence to block Ye Zhao before the Shu army recaptured Jiameng Pass. After all, the flying boat was too unsolvable for this era.
