Chapter 1411 wait and see
But it is not enough to cut down wood with strength. Among the deep mountains and forests of Taihang Mountain, there are towering trees, and even a few people can't hold them together. If you want to cut down these big trees, you have to use an experienced woodcutter.
Therefore, Cao Liang asked Qian Hong not only to lead his troops, but also to recruit some woodcutters with experience in cutting. Fortunately, some of the surrendered troops in Jizhou were from woodcutters. After Qian Hong arrived in Yecheng, he quickly found hundreds of woodcutters and immediately brought all the tools for logging, heading west from Yecheng and entering the foothills of the Taihang Mountains.
The logging location was provided by Huan Fan. Huan Fan drew a map and handed it to Qian Hong. He had to cut down the wood according to the location shown in the map. After entering the Taihang Mountains, he should not cut down randomly.
After Qian Hong arrived at Taihang Mountain, he was extremely happy to see the lush trees all over the mountain. It seemed that it was too easy to complete this task. However, taking out the map given by Huan Fan, Qian Hong was a little stunned. The logging locations given by Huan Fan were all near a canyon, and some were still above high peaks. Logically speaking, the wood at the foot of the mountain was not wood? Why did you have to go to the mountain to cut it? It was time-consuming and labor-intensive. Moving these wood in the future would be a big trouble.
Qian Hong couldn't help but feel mist at the end. He couldn't understand why Huan Fan wanted to leave the near and the far, and it was easy to leave the easy to find it difficult. However, since he was ordered to come, he did not dare to disobey the order of the military advisor. Huan Fan asked to cut down the trees there, so he went to cut down the trees there. Anyway, Huan Fan had the words first, Qian Hong was only responsible for cutting down the trees, so he didn't have to worry about the rest.
So Qian Hong followed the map and led his troops into the mountain, meticulously cutting trees in the designated area according to Huan Fan's requirements.
Fortunately, this area is full of primeval forests and rarely visited. Almost all the trees have not been moved before. Although Huan Fan strictly marked the range of logging, for Qian Hong, there is not no tree to cut down. It just needs to climb more mountains and walk the road. The forests all over the mountains are enough for Qian Hong to complete the task easily.
In theory, Qian Hong was responsible for logging wood, and Huan Fan was responsible for transporting wood. How much Qian Hong cuts, Huan Fan should send the wood away in time, but Huan Fan just sent someone to pile up the wood, just like a hill, which was spectacular.
The more Qian Hong's people cut, the higher the hills of the wood were piled up. Qian Hong was even more confused when he looked at the wooden mountains. According to Cao Liang's order, these woods had to be transported to Liyang on the north bank of the Yellow River. It was almost 300 miles away from here, and almost half of the roads were mountain roads. It was easy to log, but transportation was really a big problem.
Qian Hong couldn't figure out what the hell was selling in Huan Fan's gourd. His people cut down trees every day, while the people sent by Huan Fan just piled up some wood. This job was so relaxed.
But it is useless to stack these woods in place. If they cannot be transported to the bank of the Yellow River, it is simply a waste of effort. One day, Huan Fan came up the mountain to check, and Qian Hong also came forward and said, "Military advisor, this wood is getting more and more accumulated. You have to find a way to transport it away. It is not a problem to pile it up like this."
Huan Fan smiled and said, "You just keep cutting your wood, and you don't need to worry about the rest. When you cut enough quantities, send someone to the sect to say it." As he said, Huan Fan swung his long sleeves and left with a flowing flow.
Qian Hong is a monk who is 200% confused, but he has also kindly reminded him that whether the military advisor listens is his business. Qian Hong just needs to do his own thing.
The news soon reached Cao Liang's ears. At this time, Cao Liang had moved his troops to Liyang and confronted Sima Shi across the river. Of course, Cao Liang did not have the ability to cross the river and would not pose any threat to Sima Shi. Cao Liang arrived in Liyang but had an agreement with Huan Fan that all the wood cut from the Taihang Mountains would be transported to Liyang. Cao Liang had already summoned many craftsmen in Liyang and was waiting for the wood to arrive and start production.
Qian Hong was doing his best to do his best. Once he arrived in Taihang Mountain, he started working hard. However, it took more than half a month to complete the logging task. According to this progress, Qian Hong could probably complete the logging task by the end of July, and the progress was very fast.
The only thing that made Cao Liang strange was that there was no movement on Huan Fan. According to reports, Huan Fan just ordered people to pile up the cut down wood in place and did not transport it to the bottom of the mountain. So much wood was already piled up like a mountain. I wonder why Huan Fan never started transporting it. Could it be that the wood would fly to Liyang by itself?
Huan Fan only went to Taihang Mountain once. After returning to Liyang, he was still as leisurely as a wild crane, as if he had never worried about transporting wood.
Pei Xiu kindly reminded him: "Military advisor, the time you agreed with the Lord is almost here, but no piece of wood has been transported to Liyang so far. Why are you not in a hurry at all?"
Huan Fan smiled and said, "Why are you anxious? The wood has not been cut down yet. Let's talk about it after the wood is cut down."
Pei Xiuda frowned and said, "After General Qian cut the wood, the military advisor only has three days to transport so much wood to Liyang within three days, unless there is a heavenly soldier and general who comes to help, right?"
Huan Fan smiled slightly and said, "That's right, there will be heavenly soldiers and generals who will help you."
Pei Xiu opened his mouth in shock, big enough to swallow an egg. Is Huan Fan's joke a little big? You know, the entire Bingzhou army is now clustered on the north bank of the Yellow River. If there are no ships and floating bridges, they can only wait and do nothing. Cao Liang is worried about this. Since Huan Fan took the initiative to take over this seemingly impossible task, he must do his best to complete it.
But now Huan Fan looks like a hand-off manager, and even said that there is a Tianbing Tianyang coming to help. Isn’t this a big joke?
Moreover, Huan Fan issued a military order. Although Cao Liang may not really cut off his head if he couldn't complete the task in the future, in order to strictly enforce military discipline, Huan Fan would definitely be severely punished. If he had known this, why would he have to speak loudly?
Pei Xiu went to see Cao Liang and said worriedly: "Lord, the deadline is coming, but no piece of wood has arrived in Liyang so far. What should I do?"
Although Cao Liang had the same doubts as Pei Xiu, he was still quite confident in Huan Fan, so he said lightly: "The military advisor has his own tricks, so let's wait and see."
