If you go to fight Qingtian Village, it will basically be no difficulty. Qingtian Village is a small village, with only a few hundred people, including men, women, young and old. If the Wei army wants to take it down, it will be a simple matter that cannot be simpler.

But if the Wei army takes action, it will violate Yang Hu's military orders. This may be small or large. As the saying goes, one moves the whole body. At this sensitive time, once the Wei army captures this small village of the barbarians, the consequences may be very serious.

Therefore, Zhang Tong did not dare to make a decision, but immediately sent someone to report it to Yang Hu. At this moment, Yang Hu had arrived in Bengu, only two or three hundred miles away from the front line. The fast horse was passed on, and the reply could be received within half a day at most. This matter is very important and Yang Hu had to decide it himself.

Bengu was the first advance base established by the Wei army in Nanzhong. All the materials transported here from Jiaozhou by water will be transferred here, so Bengu quickly became a material distribution center.

For Wen Qin, this task is simple and complex. After all, for so many years, Wen Qin has been commanding the combat troops and has basically not been worried about the logistics affairs. This time, all the logistics affairs of the Right Legion were pressed on his shoulders, which is indeed not an easy task.

Water transportation is convenient and has the lowest cost. It is no wonder that all dynasties have spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build canals. The main purpose is to facilitate the transportation of canals. Compared with land transportation, the cost of water transportation is probably less than one tenth.

This is also the reason why Yang Hu chose to attack from the Red River Valley to the south. No other reason, it is to save hundreds of miles of water transportation, so that the Wei army's advancement will be free of worries.

As a forward base, Bengu is unprecedented in scale, because the Right Legion has never invested so many troops in logistics support. The previous logistics and baggage battalion was directly affiliated with the army headquarters, with a maximum of only a few thousand people. Sometimes when the journey is long, more civilians will be added.

Of course, these civilians will not be included in the military organization. In order to ensure the safety of food transport in the middle, some troops were temporarily dispatched to escort the grain transport convoy. However, after the grain transport convoy arrived at the destination, these escort grain transport troops would be rebuilt, and there was no case that the combat troops would be responsible for the long-term task of escorting grain transport in the war.

After all, the tasks of field troops are very heavy, and each battalion has its own combat tasks. If you assign such an elite combat force to the logistics team to escort food and grass, wouldn’t that be useless?

But this time, Yang Hu was abnormal. He directly drew 40% of the troops from each battalion and formed a brand new mixed corps, dedicated to the logistics tasks of escorting grain and transporting grass.

When this decision was announced, even Wen Qin felt it was a bit incredible. After all, if so many field troops were reorganized into logistics forces, wouldn’t the combat effectiveness of the Right Legion significantly decline?

At that time, Wen Qin also persuaded Yang Hu, thinking that it was a good thing to form this logistics force, but is it too many Malays that have drawn so many people? If it affects the combat effectiveness of the troops, is it not worth the loss?

But Yang Hu smiled and said, "This Northern Expedition to Shu Kingdom, the logistics forces are the top priority. Without good logistics support, everything is empty talk. Deputy Governor Wen, this difficult task is yours. If the Right Legion can fight to Chengdu, you will be the first contribution."

Yang Hu's words made Wen Qin a little confused. What kind of contribution can he make in logistics? Isn't this a joke? If he can get the greatest contribution if he bets grain and transports grass, then who would charge forward to the battle with great effort?

However, Wen Qin did not refuse Yang Hu's arrangement. Now that he is getting older, there is no problem in commanding the war, but he is already a little helpless in charging. At this moment, it is also wise to retreat to the second line and hand over the opportunity to take the lead to a younger general.

It was only after Wen Qin took over the task that he found that the task was not easy at all. Yang Hu prepared almost a large amount of supplies. The waterway fleet continuously transported these resources from the Red River Valley or from the Dragon Emblem to Bengulai. In just a few days, the food, grass and supplies around Bengu wharf were already piled up like mountains.

These foods and grass are the lifeline of the Right Legion. Once there is any mistake, the consequences will be unimaginable. Wen Qin knew that the responsibility was heavy, and did not dare to be careless at all. He personally did his job.

When you go deep into the hinterland of the Southern Central, you must always be vigilant. After all, this is the territory of Shu, and the Shu army is more familiar with the terrain here. The Wei army established such a large-scale food storage place in Bengu, and of course the Shu people were eager to destroy it.

To destroy the Wei army's attack, burning food and grass is the best and easiest way. Yang Hu arranged 30,000 people to protect the food and grass and food channels, which is undoubtedly the wisest choice. With such heavy troops to protect, even if the Shu army wants to destroy it, they have to consider whether they have the ability.

Wen Qin naturally attaches great importance to Ben Gu's defense, and he does not lack troops. Although each battalion has transferred two troops to join the logistics corps, they still maintain sufficient combat capabilities, especially among these 30,000 soldiers, there are 12,000 cavalry, which is definitely a force that no one can shake.

Wen Qin only needs to deploy 10,000 cavalry on the periphery of Bengu, which is enough to withstand any attack from the Shu army. If they have the ability to break through this defensive position on the periphery, they will have the opportunity to burn the food and grass hoarded by the Wei army.

This is obviously impossible. The strong combat effectiveness of the Wei cavalry made any army scared. With the strength of the Shu army in the Nanzhong area, it was simply a delusion.

However, Yang Hu reminded Wen Qin not to underestimate the enemy, because there is still a huge variable in Nanzhong, that is, the barbarians in Nanzhong.

Although Meng Huo died, his four sons had a group of troops, each called the commander of the tribe. The attitudes of these barbarians are not clear, and the Wei army cannot be careless. If the barbarians take action, the number of troops will become unpredictable.

When the barbarians fight, they use the method of the whole nation being soldiers. Men, women, young and old join forces. No matter how powerful the combat power is, the momentum alone is quite great. If they really fight against them, they still have to be very energetic.
