Seeing that his main senior advisers supported the position of "taking the Baoxia Road and the plank road to fight a little", Liu Bei's inner anger calmed down a little again, and instead he was unwilling to accept it, but he had to accept it.

He just continued to ask Qin Mi, Cheng Ji, Zheng Du and others in his last glimmer of hope, but these people had no better way. At most, they just mentioned a little technical details about how to transport grain from Baoxie Road, and Li Su answered them one by one.

The tone of this military conference has been decided.

"Since that's the case, Gongming, you will lead 3,000 Hanzhong soldiers and follow me to launch a surprise attack on Baoxie Dao. You will retreat in a small battle, and you don't have to fight in love." Liu Bei made the order, and he actually planned to fight in person to make this gesture.

Of course, this was unanimously opposed by Li Su, Lu Su and Fa Zheng.

Lu Su and Fa Zheng completely considered it from a purely military perspective: "Lord, no! Since this battle is a feint, it only requires a gesture of inseparable Han and thieves. With few soldiers and few food, how can you personally go to the dangerous place?"

But this statement did not consider the political card, and Liu Bei obviously did not give up.

Finally, Li Su took into account the political card and advised: "Let's do this. If the lord really wants to fight in person, I won't stop him. But whether Dong Zhe really succeeds at the moment is still different. Everything is still unknown. As a side Mu Guard, you should not move easily. It's better for Gongming to make progress and inquire about the news.

If it is confirmed that Dong thief does occupy Chang'an and the Meiwu is empty, no matter how fast the horse messenger reports from the plank road, the lord can first go to Baozhong from the north of Nanzheng to the south of Jigu Nangukou to station troops. In this way, it is only 150 miles away from the Wugongshui area of ​​Beigukou. If I get my reply, I can lead the troops to support it. This is considered that the lord has personally fought over, which is more conducive to adapting to the situation."

Li Su's words obviously contained other intentions, that is, "If you find out that Wang Yun's plan is successful, then immediately notify Liu Bei not to use it."

But these words are easily sliced ​​and studied according to their true ideas, so Li Su puts a layer of skin.

———

Lu Su and Fa Zheng felt that the Nangukou where Liu Bei was stationed troops first, and on standby. First, he did take the initiative to attack the Northern Expedition. The publicity effect was good enough. He did leave Nanzheng and sent troops, but the troops were walking slowly. Second, as long as Li Su did not allow Liu Bei to leave the valley, there would be no real danger, so they also agreed.

Liu Bei touched his beard and thought for a while, and finally asked, "Boya, you are not familiar with formation battles. Now you have so few troops. You should still run to attack, so be careful!"

Li Su: "Although I am not good at fighting, I am only cautious all my life and will not cause any trouble."

Liu Bei recalled Li Su's cowardly attitude over the years and was immediately relieved.

Just after the meeting that morning, Li Su immediately sent someone to Baozhong County to inform him to prepare lunch and dry food for several days. Then he immediately took Xu Huang, Dian Wei and three thousand local new recruits in Hanzhong.

To put it another way: Since last winter offensive, Li Su invented a wheelbarrow with brake levers in order to help Guan Yu act in a play to transport grain in Weixian Mountain Road in Jianning County, this kind of mountain transport vehicle has spread to various parts of the Liu Bei army camp in just a few months.

Because of the existence of wheelbarrows, the warlords in the north really couldn't use it, but they were used by the Shu and the Southern Central regimes. Therefore, even if the technology spreads, it would not cause much harm. Of course, there is no need to keep the confidentiality level too high.

At most, the warlords in Jingnan or Yangzhou will fight against the Wuling Barbarians in the future. The barbarians in the mountains and rivers are useful and will not be in the way of major events.

Therefore, the governments in the Hanzhong Basin have also organized military craftsmen to build some wheelbarrows since this year. When Li Su marched to Baozhong County, the magistrate of Baozhong County had already loaded all the car and the food.

In addition, we chose to reduce a truck. Each wheelbarrow only had a large sack full of fried dry food, and it was loaded across the wheel rack, with a load of about 260 kilograms. When Guan Yu was in Weixian, he put a sack on each truck on the truck on both sides of the wheel, and the load capacity was 400 kilograms.

Li Su brought these military rations and continued to go north directly. In this way, he saved the trouble of specifically distinguishing between "wooden ox/flying horse".

Let me mention it a little: Because there are many different opinions in history, many readers simply abandon all clues in official history because they don’t understand it, but this actually ignores a few very important information.

That is, although the official history records of the principle of wooden ox and horse flowing, the scope of use is very clear:

Zhuge Liang took the Qishan Road in the first few northern expeditions, so he could directly take a large ox cart, without inventing the wooden ox and flowing horse. The transport capacity of the wooden ox and flowing horse is definitely not as good as that of the ox cart.

It was from the time when we attacked Hao Zhao on Chen Cang Road. Because we changed the Chen Cang Road and the ox cart could not be driven, we invented the "wooden ox". At that time, there was no sign of "flying horse".

The use of "Liuma" was already Zhuge Liang's last Northern Expedition. He took the Baoxi Road to the Wugong Water and stationed troops in Wuzhangyuan west of Mei County. He was temporarily invented, in order to "the load-bearing capacity of Baoxi Road, which is even a wooden ox can't bear the width of the plank road, so he could only temporarily design a transportation device with a smaller size and less pressure than the wooden ox." This led to the Liuma.

Therefore, every tool of Zhuge Liang is tailor-made for a specific path. You may not believe in the description of its mechanical principles in the "Three Kingdoms" but should not doubt its use environment and R&D background.

It was precisely because of his own identification choice that Li Su believed in the description of the background needs of the Three Kingdoms R&D of the Munich and Flow Horse that he thought of at the beginning of building a wheelbarrow, “When he wanted to put two sacks, he would put two sacks, and if he wanted to put one sack, he would put one sack, and at the same time ensured that both loading methods could be balanced.”

In this way, he was like standing on Zhuge Liang's shoulder and completing the two road tasks of wooden cows and flowing horses with a wheelbarrow at the same time. He did not need to design a shrinking version to avoid crushing the plank road.

Who made Li Su have the simple concept of "generalization/modularization".

On the specific road of transportation, Li Su only explained one thing: All soldiers who push wheeled grain trucks must hold the far end of the shaft handle and keep the car as far as possible. At the same time, the previous car and the next car must leave a safe distance when leaving, for example, at least two meters apart, which is strictly like the driver's license theoretical examination in later generations.

This is the simplest and simplest way to "prevent people from standing on the same wooden board and cause the pressure on the boardwalk to collapse too much", and naturally prevent "the wheels of the rear car and the people in the front car to put pressure on the adjacent wooden board."

With such a rigorous physics design, there is no need to make a runny horse alone.

Xu Huang and Dian Wei looked at Li Su's plank road marching and dispatched the plank road. After walking dozens of miles, he even praised: "The governor is really omniscient. The first time he drove on the plank road, he did not have any danger at all. The wooden pillars on the plank road did not even creak."

Li Su said calmly without any arrogance: "Don't slacken - I'm asking you to hand over the armor to the soldiers to carry, and people are not allowed to ride on horseback and can only lead them, otherwise the horse's hooves may trample on the plank road."

Dian Wei hummed in a buzzing voice: "Governor himself is not riding a horse."

Li Su: "I'm thin! My horse is thin too! So the pressure is low. Forget it, you don't understand if you tell you. Besides, when you walk on the dangerous section, I'll come down to lead the horse."

At least in those dangerous sections where it is easy to fall down the mountain and die, Li Su always dismounted and walked, even if he was stationed with a crutch to save some effort, or if he had a soldier on his shoulder to help him carry dozens of kilograms of weight. As a civil servant, there was no way, he would have no choice but to walk for two hundred miles and he would have lost his life.

When it was dark on the first day, the troops had not yet arrived at the mountain village where they could rest overnight, so they had to continue on their way with torches and forcefully marched until midnight. Finally, they found an open area in the valley, and the plank road was temporarily over. When they saw the village, the army slept in the middle of the night.

Normally, infantry marching can only advance fifty miles a day, mainly because they have to bring food, grass and supplies. However, Li Su did not ask the troops to bring bedding and tents this time, because it happened that summer was not afraid of cold or sleeping in the open air, so he could be quicker, and there was less food. Even if the marching speed debuff of the plank road was considered, he could still walk more than seventy miles a day.

However, even at this speed, Li Su was still not very satisfied. After all, he made plans according to "Dong Zhuo is dead" and always wanted to make more money, so it was necessary to grab time.

That night, Li Su ordered: "I have been observing for a long time today. The rear army's baggage and grain convoy also has the ability to marches on the plank road. We don't need to supervise them personally. Gongming, please leave a Qujunhou's grain team to supervise them, and travel 60 miles a day. Two days later, you can go to the last place in Taibai Mountain before leaving the valley. The rest of the troops without food will increase the daily speed to 100 miles. In two days, we will arrive in Mei County!"

Xu Huang was very surprised: "So urgent? Is it just one or two days away? Even if you can arrive, it is very exhausting and not conducive to combat. Moreover, the lord's elite soldiers are all training in Chengdu and Nanzhong, and Hanzhong are all military farming soldiers. They are farming during spring plowing this year, and they only train for a little while when farming is slack in the summer. Such soldiers are even more afraid of the consumption of physical strength and morale by forcing their forces."

Li Su: "This is an order! I have my own concerns. We just act as a feint. It doesn't matter whether we win or not. The important thing is to find out the real and conclusive enemy situation as soon as possible!"

Xu Huang just tried to persuade him from a military perspective. After seeing Li Su showing off his attitude of "You don't understand except military", he immediately shut up.

Military advisor Li must have other political considerations.

"Abide by the order!" Xu Huang simply accepted the military order.

In the following two days, we only brought the vanguard troops who had cooked rations and dried meat for five days, with about two thousand people, and further accelerated.

On the evening of the fifth day of June, we arrived at the last stop before the Baoqi Road.

The troops took a nap for three hours. They set off again just at dawn on the sixth day of the first lunar month. They walked out of the Baoxi Road before noon and arrived at Wuzhangyuan along the Wugong Water. They marched for more than 200 miles in land and land for two and a half days, which was very fast.

After arriving at Wuzhangyuan, the troops were not idle. On the one hand, they could finally send large-scale scouts to investigate military information. On the other hand, everyone crossed the Wugong River and rushed east along the Wei River to the east.

At the beginning of Shenshi in the afternoon, when Li Su was still more than ten miles away from Meiwu, the scouts who had sent out finally grabbed some of the tongues and fleeing officials and gentlemen, questioned important information, and returned to Li Su's military formation to report.

"Report to the Governor, good news! Great news! It turns out that Dong Zhuo did not usurp the throne. It was Wang Situ's plan to trick Dong Zhe to Chang'an and kill him! Dong Zhuo should have died four days ago. The news of his death reached Mei County the evening before yesterday. Today, it should have spread all over Chen Cang and settled. Many of the remnants of Dong Zhe fled quickly with their belongings!"

Li Su heard this and felt a stone fell to the ground, but his expression had to be extremely surprised and extremely unexpected. He pretended to be dizzy for several seconds before shouting: "Soldiers! We are here to attack the traitors of the usurpation of the Han Dynasty! Since the traitors of the Han Dynasty were killed, we are just in the process of joining the grand event, killing a few remnants, and the whole army rushed with me! Kill all the remnants in the Meiwu!"
Chapter completed!
