Chapter 101 Pick up the ship and fight(1/2)
On the issue of Sichuan, Fu Youde fully demonstrated the characteristics of the cavalry.
quick!
It only took a few days from entering Sichuan to capturing Mianyang and Deyang.
Before Ming Sheng and others could recover, the cavalry led by him had already rushed in front of him.
Chengdu.
As long as Chengdu is captured, the day of attacking Chongqing will not be too far away.
Fu Youde must have thought about leading his troops directly into Chongqing, the capital of Xia Kingdom, so that he could gain more credit and maximize profits.
But Fu Youde, who was fighting along the way, discovered a problem. Chengdu, a place well defended by the enemy, was a tough nut to crack, and he could not conquer it with his own strength.
This is true in Chengdu, let alone Chongqing.
It must be as protected as a piece of iron, not even a bird can fly out.
At this time, he needs to find someone to help him and help him through this muddy water.
There was only one person who could help him in Sichuan, and that person was Tang He who was sent by the boss to carry out the mission.
However, his comrades Tang He and his brothers were still living in the Three Gorges area, trading stones with the soldiers on the bridge and on the mountain every day.
He needs Tang He's strength for offensive and defensive assistance.
How to notify Tang He?
Fu Youde was in trouble.
At that time, both parties did not have telephones or mobile phones, and they had no specific contact information. They wanted to write a letter, but Ming Sheng, a bastard, would definitely not convey it on his behalf.
Faced with this problem, General Yum Fu Youde thought of a way.
An almost magical method.
I don’t know what environment you grew up in when you were young. When I was a child, I grew up in a rural area. At that time, there was a large steep slope in front of my house. The road surface on the steep slope was not like today. It did not undergo any hardening and was far away. It was not as smooth as it is now. It was all dirt roads. Once the donkey cart passed by, there were potholes and dust flew up.
Every time it rains and we don't go to school, especially when it rains heavily, a group of us kids will do one thing together, which is to dig rivers and build dams to let the rainwater collect in the center of the slope. When the rainwater is almost collected, we will do it every day. Each person then folds up the paper boats, signs them and puts them in the water, then opens the gate and releases the water to see who can get the boat out the fastest.
Whoever's boat reaches the finish line first will be the winner today.
This was one of the only happy props we had when we were little.
Fu Youde should have played this kind of game when he was a child.
He made full use of Sichuan's geographical advantages. He asked his men to make countless wooden signs, and then asked the soldiers to carve his location on the wooden signs and write down the specific time when he was going to attack Chengdu.
After everything was prepared, all the wooden signs were thrown into the water.
There is another water flow issue to talk about here.
The water flows back to the sea after thousands of journeys.
No matter which river branches in Sichuan, they will eventually return to the sea downstream. In other words, no matter where Fu Youde in the upper reaches drops the wooden sign, they will all flow through the Three Gorges that Tanghe passes through.
So he didn't need to worry about whether Tang He would see these wooden signs.
I have to say that Fu Youde is indeed a talent. He made good use of the characteristics of Sichuan rivers.
His approach is somewhat similar to our current flyers.
Wooden signs are the simplest and most effective tool for conveying information.
The above briefly explains my motivation and timing of action.
The more important point is that this is not only a communication message to inform one's comrades, but also a powerful weapon to break down the enemy's psychological defenses.
This is indeed a good approach.
Because his leaflets soon took effect.
It was Xia's soldiers who first discovered the leaflets.
When they found out that the enemy had already captured Deyang and were preparing to attack Chengdu, it would definitely weaken their morale to a certain extent, which invisibly dampened the fighting spirit of the Xia soldiers.
More importantly, when Mingsheng learned that his home was about to be raided by Fu Youde, he hurriedly dispatched Prime Minister Dai Shou and Taiwei Wu Youren who were guarding the Three Gorges back to guard Chengdu.
The pressure at Qutang Pass was greatly reduced.
With the two generals being transferred away, Tang He will definitely benefit directly.
After accepting Boss Zhu's mission arrangement, he led his troops to Qutang Pass.
In order to implement Boss Zhu's determination to capture Qutang Pass and his resolute and courageous political ideology, Tang, a three-good student, peacefully attacked Qutang Pass for three months without making any plans to escape or retreat.
I don’t know if you have noticed a problem. Good students generally do not easily provoke others, but this does not mean that their tempers are good.
My personal conclusion is that these people are generally boring.
You can bully them however you want when they are happy.
But once they piss him off, they often do something completely unexpected.
Classmate Tang is an outstanding representative of this type of person.
At this time, he must be feeling angry after being bullied for three months at Qutang Pass.
I have been leading troops from the boss for three months, but I have done nothing. I have been fighting against the stones for three months, but I have not been able to make any progress.
No one would be happy with this situation.
Just when Tang He was feeling unhappy, he received a message from Fu Youde. After being a good student for three months and never leaving home, he was already angry and cursing at his mother.
At Qutang Pass he felt insulted.
An unprecedented insult.
Tang He was extremely humiliated and decided to change his original strategy of beating the enemy.
He seemed to have found inspiration from Fu Youde's idea of bamboo rafts, and from the inspiration he developed another set of ideas.
Tang He felt that his idea was feasible and decided to give up the opportunity to capture Qutang Pass head-on.
Abandon the water route and attack by force, and take the land route instead.
Didn't you, Mingsheng, not allow me to take the waterway? Didn't you have the natural danger of Qutang Pass? Didn't you build a bridge and let people throw stones to block the road and prevent me from crossing?
Good, very good!
If you don't let me go by water, then I will go by land.
In order to carry forward the revolutionary spirit of hard work and simplicity of the working people and promote the fine style of hard work and frugality, our ship will not be left to you bastards. We will also pack up the people and the ship and take them away.
I have never actually been to Sichuan, but the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008 is still fresh in my memory. Although I did not witness many scenes at that time, I really felt the topography of Sichuan.
I always thought that Sichuan, like its name, is a flat plain and it is difficult to find a mountain. But after the Wenchuan earthquake, I found that I was wrong, and I was very wrong.
Sichuan gave me another feeling.
Mountains, they are all mountains.
Apart from the mountains, there are only ditches of water.
Beyond the mountains and rivers, it seemed that there was only a huge height difference of hundreds of meters between them.
When people stand on the top of the mountain and look down, they feel a chill in the back and numbness in the scalp.
But this is the case. Tang He, the boss from Anhui, doesn't seem to care about this. He only cares about the belongings he brought from his hometown.
No matter how winding the terrain, no matter how tortuous the road, he stuck to one belief.
These belongings are hard-earned. How you brought them out means how you must bring them back.
Although there is no mention of Tang He's true origin in the history books, I think Tang He was born as an accountant. At least he must be very good at abacus. When he was in his hometown, he probably specialized in accounting and treasury.
One word should be emphasized in our thoughts and concepts: dig.
As long as I save money, I can't wait to dig out a little bit of oil from between my nails.
In order to completely defeat Qutang Pass, Tang He made two preparations.
At the same time, he asked Liao Yongzhong to lead some troops and horses to pretend to attack Qutang Pass in order to attract the enemy's attention.
On the other side, some soldiers were ordered to carry boats and climb mountains, cross Qutang Pass, run to the rear of Qutang Pass while the enemy was dazzled, and then take advantage of the enemy's retreat when they were completely unprepared.
I really can't imagine what kind of scene this is. I'm fighting the enemy head-on with a stick, and I have to take on an attitude of vowing not to be a human until I take you down today, and pretend to be risking my life by beating and fucking hard. Only in this way can I
It is more beneficial to attract the enemy's attention.
On the other side, a group of people are making a living by carrying a boat up a mountain with a drop of nearly 100 meters at the deepest point. If someone doesn't step correctly, they will roll down the mountain and ascend to the sky. This is really not a good job.
But this terrible and almost impossible difficulty was overcome by Tang He.
He successfully carried the boat to the rear of Qutang Pass.
I have to admire Tang He's courage and courage.
When the soldiers led by Tang He carried the boat and climbed over the mountain and passed behind Qutang Pass, they came to the upper reaches of Qutang Pass.
What happens next is obvious.
He asked the soldiers to throw the boat into the river again, and then ordered all the soldiers to get on the boat and launch a fierce attack on the defenders of Qutang Pass.
