Chapter 348 Title

5days ago traverse Novels 2
The Zhou army has entered the Wushan area.

Between the green mountains, the river is turbulent, and the waves roar between the mountains and rivers.

A high-pitched and hoarse voice came from the stone wall by the river: Hi!Suddenly, everyone shouted in unison: Hi yo yo... Others shouted rhythmically: Ho yo!

The shouts of the boatmen were vigorous and powerful, overshadowing the surging rivers and exuding extremely strong vitality from the water.

Guo Shao stood at the bow of the boat and was shocked for a moment.

He looked to the riverside and saw a group of naked men leaning down, holding on to the stone wall, and moving forward with difficulty again and again with shouts.

At this time, the horn man raised his head and shouted: "Drag it!"The men immediately shouted in unison: Drag, drag and drag…

There is also a shipboat in front of the building that is familiar with the local water conditions. He will adjust the direction of the ship with the leader of the warship to prevent the ship from falling into the reefs.

Guo Shao felt that the fate of the warship was linked to the boatmen, and the magnificent horns were like shouts on the battlefield.

Previously, a general advised him to leave the ship and go on land because he would destroy the ship as soon as he hit the reef.However, Guo Shao refused, saying that he wanted to work with the soldiers... Of course, there was a reason, he could swim.

This dangerous journey is not far, and the flagship Guo Shao rode on had passed the most urgent period soon.

In the future, ordinary ships may still need to continue pulling, but the Zhou army's Yangtze River warships are not used because of the water truck and the power of the oars, and the sails are better; military warships are free of charge.

The boatmen on the shore put away their ropes, sang briskly, and turned around and walked eastward; there were more boats passing through the dangerous water, and of course there were more boatmen behind.

When Guo Shao listened carefully, most of the songs had no lyrics, and occasionally there were one or two words, but it seemed to be local dialect words, and he didn't understand them.

Perhaps the original music of ancient ancestors was like this sound, the cry from the heart.

Come and find their leader and I go ashore to meet.Guo Shao turned around and said to his generals.

Guo Shao took a small boat to the shore and saw the military chariots and horses on the road along the river like long dragons, and the tiger flag of the Tiger Army fluttered among the towering and overlapping mountains, which was particularly spectacular.

Occasionally, when encountering cliffs, there are also plank roads... In the past, people used to dig out stone caves by hand on the stone walls, and then inserted them into the caves with wood, and built a plank road; it seemed that no matter how sinister the nature was, it could not stop people from moving forward.

A group of naked people wearing rags looked at Guo Shao with their backs hunched over. They just used their eyes to express etiquette, without any extra words.Finally, a trumpet came up and bent down and said: General.

Guo Shao turned around and ended up with a bag of copper coins, and handed it to him: Those who helped us and helped the Great Zhou army are all our allies.

The trumpet said happily: Thank you for reward.The boatmen who had been silent heard the sound of copper coins in the bag, and the atmosphere relaxed and spoke in a low voice.

At this time, Guo Shao found that Jing Niang was carrying her back, looking helpless.Guo Shao asked: Why don’t you wear clothes?

Can't afford to wear.The horn head deliberately speaks slowly. Although the accent is different, the pronunciation is still understandable. We are prone to wear out our clothes, and wet clothes will cause illness.

Guo Shao sighed with a sympathy, and asked again: How are the people here doing?

The horn said: Those who are poor and badly water cannot plant much in the ground. Those who "go down the river" still have to steal our lives. It's so hard.

Guo Shao said: Go back and tell the prestigious fellow villagers in the mountains, and ask the nearby leaders and clan leaders to bring people to Wushan County, and the Zhou Dynasty wants to provide relief to the suffering people.

OK, OK.The trumpet looked at Guo Shao and nodded quickly.

After saying that, Guo Shao waved his hand and asked the boatmen to leave and board the boat again.

At this time, the generals couldn't help but say: Although those people were living a hard life, the lord had pity, but there was no need to provide relief to them now.It is too difficult to transport military rations from the rear, and it is a pity to give them to the mountain people.

Guo Shao said: We can’t calculate the cost like this.If the Zhou army did not cultivate virtue and had a bad reputation, what should we do when we sail now?The navy was not familiar with this dangerous water situation and did not destroy the boat... The boatmen did not say that they deliberately destroyed our boats, and fled into the mountains and did not pull the boats for our guides. It was difficult for the army to walk this road.He clapped the shoulders of the generals. Although those people are coolies, they are also human beings. They can tell who is good or bad.We are kind to them, the people understand it.

Zuo You praised the side: The lord has a high position and a high position, and those who win the hearts of the people will win the world.

As he was talking, he heard a sound of wow... A soldier not far away suddenly vomited.

Guo Shao turned his head and looked at him, and saw that his face was pale, and he said to Zuo You: I brought some doctors from Jiangling Mansion and asked them to boil some decoctions to prevent diseases.

Yes, urge them immediately.Zuo You said.

The ship was shaking on the river, and most of the soldiers carrying some of the Hu Ben Army were northerners and might not be used to riding on the river.

When Cao Cao attacked Sun Wu, he was caught in a fire attack because northerners were not used to riding boats.

...In the afternoon of that day, Guo Shao suddenly received a report that the rear army was attacked last night, and the food, supplies and supplies were burned to pieces.

The civil and military officials on the warship were in an uproar, and everyone asked: There is only one road, and there are mountains around it. How could the rear army be attacked?But the young general who came to report did not know, and only said that it was the Shu army, with armor and flags, and was not a bandit.

Besides, what are the bandits going to provoke the army if they have nothing to do?

Guo Shao ignored their arguments and took out a report from a package to read it again, and handed it to Wang Pu.He continued to look out the map.

Wang Pu said: Maybe it’s the people from this place, Wushan Military Village.

A few days ago, the vanguard Dong Zunhui's army came from the first time he had a confrontation with the Shu army.

The Shu army set up a military camp on a mountain east of Wushan County. Due to the dangerous terrain, Dong Zunhui sent people to attack several times but failed. So he reported that in order not to block the road ahead and delayed his journey, he sent people to block the mountain pass and then led his progress, but did not continue to attack the military camp.

According to Dong Zunhui's description, the Shu army camp was on the mountain and did not block the road, so it would not affect the army's continued advancement.

But when he left the Shu army there, he had no idea where he attacked Guo Shao from.

The next day, Guo Shao arrived at the Shu army camp by boat, and then took his people off the boat to see the place... It was indeed a trouble to keep it, as if there was a nail halfway, and maybe he would come down to harass the army's food route and supplies at any time.

It's on the mountain there.The commander who stayed at Yamaguchi said with his fingers.

When Guo Shao narrowed his eyes and looked at it, he saw some flags on the rocks, and he couldn't see the specific situation clearly from too far away.

The cliffs on the north side stand along the Yangtze River like a row of barriers.

The scenery is beautiful and magnificent, but Guo Shao doesn't like it very much. His vision is not wide and he is blocked by the mountains. He always feels a little depressed.

I'll go closer and see.Guo Shao said.

Zuo You advised: This place is dangerous, so the lord doesn’t have to take risks in person. Just send someone to see it and report it.

Guo Shao ignored it and turned around and said, take the armor and put on the armor.

Two personal soldiers brought his stuff, and Guo Shao took off his coat, wearing breathable veal underwear.

Now, with the help of personal soldiers, he changed into military uniforms.

First put on the chain mail and skirt armor to protect the moving parts, and then hang the plate armor; in a while, Guo Shao has weighed more than 50 kilograms because he wears two armors.

He took the helmet and put it on, with leather padding inside and mailing ears on both sides; there is also a bulging protruding bag on the top of the semi-circular helmet, which is really not a very good design... But because people at this time, their hair is longer and they are usually combed with a bun, so there is a space to accommodate the bun to be comfortable.

The soldiers were also armed and equipped, following Guo Shao along the mountain pass from the winding road in the bush forest to the hillside.

After everyone left for a while, they saw some Zhou army soldiers stationed behind the fortifications in front.

There is already a very steep stone mountain in front of it. There are winding roads on the stone mountain, and you can already see the figures of Shu soldiers stationed on the mountain.

Hold!A general cursed behind him, "What's the purpose of setting up a military camp when the people of Shu run to such a place where birds do not shit?"

Guo Shao looked up at the top of the mountain, but he didn't know what the scene was behind the mountain. Anyway, it must be a mountainous area with steep mountains.

There should be roads behind the mountain, and you can take a detour to raid the marching roads, otherwise it would be meaningless for the Shu army to build a military camp here.

Call the guide.Guo Shao turned his head and shouted.After shouting, he observed the terrain in front of him. Within his sight, there were almost all cliffs and no way to pass. Only in front of this military camp was there a road dug on the rocks.

After a while, a local man came up and said that he had never been to the scene behind the mountain, and it was probably a place without people.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly caught up from behind and knelt on one knee and said: The rear army sent people to escort the prisoners, saying that they had captured several people in pursuit of the Shu army last night.

Bring it here.Guo Shao said.

Soon, three people in military uniforms were undone and were escorted up with their hands tied up.They had bruised and bloody marks on their faces, and it seemed that the Zhou army soldiers suffered a little after they caught them.

The general who was escorting the captive shouted: Say whatever you ask, dare to tie the stones to the river!

The captives drooped their heads and were dejected.

Guo Shao pointed to the mountain and asked: How many people are there in the military camp?

The prisoners of the Shu army in front said: More than 1,200.Originally, there were only more than 100 people, and Wang Jianjun recently reinforced more than 1,000 people and transported a large amount of food... and asked us to stay for half a year.

Wang Jianjun, is it Wang Zhaoyuan?Zuo You sighed.The generals talked about it and wanted to stay for half a year, but he thought it was beautiful.

The captive said: I will not hide it from the general. The terrain on the mountain is dangerous and it is indeed impossible to attack from any direction.Wang Jianjun sent someone to say this... He said that there had been iron walls east of Kuizhou, and the Zhou army would not have thought of Kuizhou for three or five years; but because we were the fortress at the fortress and there were no reinforcements outside, we only had to guard for half a year and continue to raid the food route to exhaust the Zhou army.
