The conquering army marched lightly and simply, and it took only three days to reach Yiyang from Jiashi.

Now Yiyang has become the transshipment center for grain and grass supplies for the Wei army. Through water transportation, the grain, grass, baggage, and ordnance supplies needed by the frontline army have been continuously transported to Yiyang.

Fang Yi, the governor of Yiyang, was extremely busy. So many goods were piled up like mountains in Yiyang, which made him feel happy and worried at the same time.

Fortunately, the imperial court set Yiyang as a material transfer point this time. The opportunity that Fang Yi had been waiting for finally arrived. As long as he can successfully help the army win, it will be considered a great achievement. In addition to the previous

After successfully resisting the Wu army's attack for a period of time, Fang Yi has a good chance of getting promoted. Even if it is a flat transfer, being able to be transferred back to the inland county is much better than being the prefect of Yiyang, a border county.

.

Border counties like Yiyang have suffered from years of war, a sharp decline in population, and a bleak economy. It can be said that there is no oil or water at all. A county in Yiyang is probably not even comparable to a county in Sizhou.

If Fang Yi could be transferred back to a county in the interior as a governor, it would be much better than being an official here.

What's worrying is that with so much food and grass piled up in Yiyang, if something goes wrong, I'm lucky to be immune to punishment, let alone wanting to be promoted. If it's serious, someone might be killed.

Because Fang Yi also knows very well that this food and grass is the lifeblood of his army and is also a coveted target of the enemy. Although Yiyang is still more than two hundred miles away from the front line with rocks, such a long road may not be safe.

, it may also happen if you encounter an unreasonable lunatic who travels more than two hundred miles.

There are not many defenders in Yiyang now. It is not a big problem to just defend the city. However, most of the supplies and food are concentrated on the Huaishui Pier, which is a little further away from the city. The quantity is extremely large. Even if it is convenient,

Yi had the heart to transfer him to the city, but he had the will to do so, and there was no way he could do it.

All Fang Yi can do now is wait for Sima Yi to send elite troops to transport the food and grass and take away this hot potato.

Fang Yi waited for many days, and finally the Southern Conquest Army arrived.

The Southern Expeditionary Army was no stranger to Fang Yi. Some time ago, the Southern Expeditionary Army arrived in Huaibei and rushed to Anfengdu through Yiyang. Later, Sima Yi's large group also marched from Yiyang and went to Anfengdu.

Anfeng City.

However, Fang Yi also heard about the defeat of the Southern Conquest Army at Anfengdu, and he deeply felt sorry for the Southern Conquest Army. It was really bad luck, and he died before he left the army.

"Is General Xiahou okay now?" Fang Yi asked Cao Liang.

Cao Liang said: "General Xiahou was slightly injured when he broke through the siege at Anfengdu. He is currently recuperating in Anfeng City. There is nothing serious."

"That's good, that's good." Fang Yi sighed repeatedly. In the Anfengdu breakout battle, the conquering army fought really hard. Even Xia Houxuan, the general of the southern expedition, was seriously injured. This shows how heavy the casualties of other soldiers were.

, but Xia Houxuan was able to save his life, which was already a blessing among misfortunes.

"Prefect Fang, are the grain and fodder ready and can they be shipped immediately?" Cao Liang asked.

Fang Yi hurriedly said: "The food and baggage have been prepared for a long time, but the team escorting the food and grass has not been confirmed yet, so it has not started. You are here just in time. Make preparations later and then you can set off."

The task of the Conquering South Army was to escort the grain and fodder team, and they did not need to push it by hand. All the grain and fodder baggage to be transported to the front line had been loaded into baggage trucks. Thousands of baggage trucks lined up to form a giant dragon.

I have already been waiting to set off.

The reason why they dare not start the shipment is because Fang Yi cannot guarantee the safety of such a huge batch of supplies. It is more than two hundred miles away from the front line of Jia Shi. If something goes wrong, it will be fatal.

What's more, Fang Yi's responsibility is only to receive the grain and grass baggage at Yiyang Ferry, and transport the grain and grass baggage to the front line has nothing to do with it. Therefore, even if the grain and grass at Yiyang Ferry are piled up like a mountain, Fang Yi has no way to transport it out.

But so much food and grass piled up at Yiyang Ferry is like a knife hanging over Fang Yi's head. If something unexpected happens, such as a fire or something, it will be his responsibility, so Fang Yi

Yi is now eager to transport the grain and grass away to reduce the pressure on his side.

Ren Lan was responsible for counting the number of baggage trucks. After completing the count, he said goodbye to Fang Yi and prepared to set off.

Seeing that it was getting late, Fang Yi advised Ren Lan to rest for one night before leaving. Ren Lan shook his head, declined Fang Yi's kindness, and insisted on setting off immediately. Fang Yi could not say anything more, so he left and watched Zheng go.

The Confederate army escorted the grain and grass away.

The reason why Ren Lan was in a hurry was because there was still more than two hundred miles to go to Jiashi. When he arrived, the Confederate Army was traveling lightly and quickly, but it also took three days. If he had escorted the baggage train,

If so, the speed will naturally not be faster. It will take at least five or six days to return to Jiashi. This trip, plus loading and unloading of grain and grass, will take at least nearly ten days.

Based on this calculation, the Conquering South Army really didn't have much time to rest. After all, Sima Yi would have time requirements, and no one could afford to suffer if the military situation was delayed.

Ren Lan didn't want anything to fall into Sima Yi's hands. Even if the Conquest of the Southern Army was unwilling, once he accepted the task, he would complete it beautifully and leave Sima Yi speechless.

When we left Yiyang, the sun was already setting in the west. The grain transport convoy had only walked five or six miles, and it was already dark. Ren Lan had no choice but to order to set up camp and set off again tomorrow.

The camp for escorting grain and grass is naturally different from the ordinary camp. Because they have to rush tomorrow, the camp of the Southern Conquest Army is extremely simple. In order to prevent accidents with the baggage trucks, Ren Lan and Cao Liang discussed it and adopted

The method proposed by Cao Liang was to gather all the baggage vehicles in the center of the camp, and all the troops of the Southern Conquest Army camped around it.

The most elite Qiaoqi battalion is deployed on the outermost edge of the camp. If it encounters an enemy attack, the enemy must at least break through the defenses of the Qiaoqi battalion and other infantry battalions before they can possibly come into contact with the baggage vehicles carrying food.

It is naturally difficult to break through the defense of the Xiaoqi Battalion. At least the enemy troops attacking must have a combat power stronger than that of the Xiaoqi Battalion to achieve this goal.

This iron barrel-shaped double-layer defense system ensures the absolute safety of the grain truck. Although it is still a long way from the Jiashi front line, the possibility of encountering an ambush by the Wu army here is almost zero, but Cao Liang
Chapter completed!
