Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 36: Sleepy Snow

Three days later, the preparations for food and grass in various places have been finalized, Hua Xiong and Zhang Xiu have assembled in Changling, and they only need to wait for Lu Bu to arrive.

"My lord, according to the deployment, Jia's last grain storage area is in Sheyan. However, it is 700 miles away from Meiji. It is the middle of winter, and most of the Huns will not come out. Going this area, the Huns It is difficult for people to notice, if you go to Xihe County, not only will it be more difficult to supply, but also the cities along the way will be occupied by the Xiongnu." Outside Chang'an City, Guo Jia accompanied Lu Bu out, and told Lu Bu about his arrangement.

The soldiers and horses went ahead without any food and grass. Lü Bu was worried that Jia Xu and Guo Jia would not be able to bear it due to their weak health, so he did not bring his army divisions with him.

Lu Bu nodded when he heard the words, took out the map from his pocket and looked at it: "This area is a smooth road. All I bring are cavalry, one person and two riders. Only need to carry three days of food and grass, you can reach Meiji."

Siege is impossible, even if the Huns are not good at defending the city, it is impossible to successfully attack the city with cavalry, so this battle is fought by surprise, once they fail, they will return without success.

"My lord doesn't need Jia to worry about the battle, I wish my lord an early triumph!" Guo Jia saluted Lu Bu.

"Drink less wine, it will hurt your health!" Lu Bu turned on Chitu, and said to Guo Jia before parting.

"Then Jia, let's drink more tea!" Guo Jia nodded, watching Lu Bu take Dian Wei and his personal guards away, looked at the sky, and sighed in his heart, hoping that this battle would be over soon, otherwise he would be with him. Once the Hu people fell into long-term entanglement and confrontation, the pressure on logistics was enormous, and it was likely to drag down the court that had just improved.

Lu Bu took Dian Wei and a group of personal guards on a fast journey, and in the afternoon, he joined Hua Xiong and Zhang Xiu in Changling, and then followed the route set by Guo Jia, going to Yunyang first, then Baiya Mountain, Guide, and then Arrive in Sheyan.

Along the way, the two riders rode alternately on the road, from Chang'an to Sheyan, according to the route set by Guo Jia, it was nearly 900 miles away, and it took Lu Bu only five days to get there. This speed is not unprecedented, but it is also close to the limit.

Sheyan originally belonged to Shangjun, but the location is too far away, and now it is basically deserted. Guo Jia set this place as the last supply point. It can be regarded as finding the nearest place for Lu Bu within the range that the enemy will not notice, and then go north. It is a wilderness, and it takes seven hundred miles to the northeast to reach Meiji. There are very few places that can be used as markers along the way, so the direction of march can only be determined by the general's sense of direction.

In the dilapidated city, many parts of the city wall have collapsed. When you enter the city, you will see decay. I remember that it has not been many years since the city of Sheyan was abandoned, but it has already become like this.

Zhang Xiu held the map and compared the directions carefully.

"What can this thing tell?" Hua Xiong walked in, saw Lu Bu drinking tea again, but Zhang Xiu seriously compared the map, and couldn't help frowning.

"Mr. Wen He said that if you are not sure about what to do, you should repeat all the places as many times as possible. This is the map obtained from more than 20 different places at the end of the day. This road is going north. It is empty and extremely It's easy to get lost, be careful, and I can avoid detours." Zhang Xiu said seriously.

Hua Xiong shook his head. Although he felt that it was unnecessary, it is good for young people to be serious.

Dian Wei on the side grinned when he heard the words: "Fatty Jia also taught me something, does Jin Rong want to hear it?"

"Please advise, General!" Zhang Xiu's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he admired Jia Xu's ability after spending a period of time in Lu's residence.

"It's different from yours. Fatty Jia said that there used to be a general who wanted to lead his troops to attack Luoyang and capture the enemy's chief general, but because he didn't compare them as carefully as you did, he went the wrong way and got there by accident. Chang'an..."

Before Dian Wei finished speaking, Hua Xiong interrupted: "Jia Wenhe's words are not very useful. Chang'an and Luoyang are 800 miles away. What does this general think?"

"Don't worry about it, it's just going wrong anyway." Dian Wei glared at Hua Xiong, then looked at Zhang Xiu: "But he captured the enemy general, why do you think?"

Zhang Xiu frowned and said, "Could it be that the enemy general also went to Chang'an?"

"That's right! That's the reason, so what's the use of making such a mess?" Dian Wei slapped his thigh. After all, the news about Lu Bu Guan Yu Huchuquan was nearly half a year ago. Who knows that Huchu is now Whether Quan is still in Meiji or not, he feels that the story Jia Xu told him is very appropriate to the current situation, almost exactly the same.

"So the general said that this battle can only be based on luck?" Zhang Xiu said with a dark face.

"Otherwise what?" Dian Wei rolled his eyes. Anyway, if he was asked to lead the army, there was no need to think about these issues. He could fight wherever he went. Maybe he could meet the opponent's general and capture him in one fell swoop.

"So you can't lead the soldiers!" Lu Bu took a sip of tea, looked at Dian Wei's proud look, and couldn't help but strike.

Dian Wei didn't care, he wasn't going to lead the army either. Looking at Zhang Xiu's bitter face, he knew that leading the army was not an easy task. With his own head, it's better not to think about too complicated things, and charge forward when necessary , when you don't need it, just serve as the lord's guard.

"Let the soldiers have a good night's rest, and set off tomorrow morning!" Lu Bu said, looking at Hua Xiong.

"Here!"

Marching is naturally boring. Before marching in the territory, I could meet some cities and see people, but apart from extravagance, it was full of barrenness, especially in winter, and the trees along the way were dry, giving people the feeling of It is a desert.

In spring and summer, it may be possible to graze here, but in winter, no one really wants to live here.

Lu Bu asked someone to bring three days of rations, and he had to rush to Meiji, seven hundred miles away, in three days to fight a beautiful surprise attack.

However, sometimes God likes to make fun of people. Guanzhong wanted a heavy snow all winter, but this Hetao Plain began to snow heavily on the afternoon of the second day after Lu Bu and his party left Sheyan. Downward trend.

Lu Bu traveled for an hour, looked around, but saw that the sky had been covered by snow, and he couldn't see anything ten steps away.

"My lord, if we continue to hurry in this half-weather, I'm afraid we'll all get lost!" Hua Xiong came to Lu Bu's side through the wind and snow, and shouted loudly.

According to Lu Bu's original plan, they would rest at night for these three days, and go all out during the day. In three days, they should be able to arrive in seven hundred miles with one person and two passengers.

But now I don't have good land, so I feel helpless when encountering such things.

You must know that each of them only carried three days of rations. If it stops at this time, the wind and snow will stop. After the wind and snow stop, if there is no food and grass, these ten thousand elites may even appear mutiny.

All the generals couldn't help looking at Lu Bu. The current position is very awkward. After driving for a day and a half, I don't know how far I have traveled, but at least half of the journey has been made. Looking back now, I don't know if I can run out of food and grass. Go back before, and it's just as easy to get lost in a snowstorm.

But if you continue to move forward, no one knows what problems will arise. There will be no good results in moving forward or retreating, so how to make the final decision at this time depends on Lu Bu. middle.

Lu Bule turned his horse's head and looked back and forth on the road, but it was a snowstorm. He couldn't see anything except his soldiers. Without too much hesitation, Lu Bu re-established his direction. In fact, in this environment, apart from the wind and snow, He couldn't see anything, and it was impossible for him to lack direction. Lu Bu just found the direction he was heading in just now.

"Slow down!" There are only two words, the wind and snow are extremely strong, and people are pouring wildly into people's mouths. It is a safe way to retreat at this time, but Lu Bu has confidence, he believes that he will not fail this time without success. return.

Hua Xiong and Zhang Xiu didn't say any more, and continued to march forward in the wind and snow. In order to avoid people falling behind as much as possible, they slowed down and could take care of each other. When someone fell behind, others could stop the other party.

That night, Lu Bu didn't stop, because once he stopped, he might not be able to walk anymore, so he could only move forward. In a snowstorm, he had no direction and could only follow his feeling.

This is a very unreliable way of marching, so Lu Bu is not very sure. It is difficult to see during the day in snowy weather, but the heavy snow also brings light to the night, allowing them to move forward by groping.

Because of the blizzard, they couldn't travel at the expected speed, so they couldn't stop, because if they stopped, once the rations they brought were exhausted, the entire army would be without food. An army without food and grass is terrible .

The blizzard didn't stop until the morning of the third day, but in the wilderness, it was a vast expanse of whiteness at a glance, making it even more difficult to discern the direction. Fortunately, as the sun came out, the northeast direction could be discerned.

But another question arises, the food is almost gone, when will they arrive in Meiji?

This road is an unmarked road, and the distance cannot be estimated. Because of the blizzard, they don't know how far they have traveled, and how far they have to go to reach the goal?

These cavalry are the most elite soldiers in the army. Fighting and fighting will not make them afraid, but moving forward without a goal will make people numb and desperate.

Naturally, Lu Bu also began to feel this emotion, and Wei Wei felt heavy in his heart. At this time, it is necessary to give the soldiers a confidence and a distance. Otherwise, this hopeless emotion will continue to spread and destroy everyone's morale and fighting spirit. , Let this team die in despair in this barrenness.

"My lord, look, what is that?" Dian Wei looked ahead and suddenly said loudly.

Lu Bu looked up, and saw a stone mountain in the shape of a stone tablet standing in front of him.

It's just a stone mountain with a strange shape. This kind of thing is very common in Mobei.

However, the meaning of many things is given by people. Sometimes such a rocky mountain can save the lives of an army!

After a moment of silence, Lu Bu's eyes suddenly brightened: "This is a boundary monument. It was built by the imperial court by hundreds of stonemasons when the Xiongnu was attached to it. It was originally the border between the Han Dynasty and the Southern Xiongnu. Unfortunately, no one ruled it later, and it became this place. Second look."

After finishing speaking, Lu Bu turned his head, looked at the crowd and said, "Soldiers, have you seen this boundary marker? I missed the journey because of the snowstorm, but when I saw this boundary marker, I walked two hundred miles northeast. Jicheng! All the soldiers cheer up, tomorrow we will eat meat in Meiji City!"

What people are most afraid of is running wildly without a goal. They don’t know how long they will run or how far they will run. In the end, their will will be depressed and they will destroy themselves. But now, the appearance of this stone mountain that looks like a stone tablet is equivalent to giving everyone a ruler , also set a goal for everyone, if you have a goal, you will not be afraid, and now it is impossible to go back, everyone's morale, following Lu Bu's words, immediately cheered up, and started to hurry under Lu Bu's urging.

It's just... Lu Bu looked forward, but there was a bit of worry in his eyes!
