Chapter 724

As the army marched on Yunwu Mountain, Zhang Liao still did not relax.

In his mind, there is always a string stretched.

When most of the soldiers passed through Yunwu Mountain, Zhang Liao was relieved.

It was almost evening.

The light rain continued.

The official road is still muddy, which makes it inconvenient to drive.

Lu Xun rode up to Zhang Liao and said, "General Zhang, the scouts return. If you go four miles further, you will find Fushui river. This river is not wide, but floating bridges must be built to allow a large number of soldiers to cross the river. You see, crossing the river overnight or tomorrow morning. "

Fushui river is a river in Danyang county.

Zhang Liao all the way south, has passed through several rivers, are not big rivers.

After a day's experience, he finally understood the situation in the south.

Not far away, there is a river.

If it's cavalry, it can't move at all.

The cavalry of the brigade meets the river? It's a lot of trouble to cross the river.

If the state of Wei wanted to attack the state of Wu, it would not be easy for the state of Wu to resist.

Zhang Liao looked up at the gloomy sky.

Now it's summer, the weather should be hot, but with the drizzle, the weather is quite cool.

Zhang Liao believes that we should hurry up.

Zhang Liao said, "Lord Lu, let's continue our journey and build a bridge across the river."

"Good!"

Lu Xun got Zhang Liao's command, turned around and went on.

After discussing with Xunyou, Zhang Liao left Xunyou in charge. He drove his horse to catch up with Lu Xun and went forward with him.

The army continued on their way and soon came to the North Bank of the Fushui river.

The surface of Fushui river is not very wide, only more than ten feet, and the current is not too fast. The river is rushing down.

Zhang Liao checked the situation and ordered a bridge across the river.

Under the command, the auxiliary soldiers in their own army began to build bridges.

Make a way when you meet mountains and build a bridge when you meet water.

In addition to the soldiers in the army, they are the auxiliary arms specially responsible for transporting grain and equipment.

Lu Xun stood on the bank, watching the soldiers build the bridge.

The boats near the ferry were requisitioned, and soldiers went to get rid of more boats.

At this time, the soldiers moved quickly.

"Bang! Bang

The stakes were sharpened and nailed to the north bank.

The soldier took out the iron lock with thick ears and nose, wound it on the stake, tied it to death, then pulled the iron lock and crossed the river by boat.

The iron lock was pulled down by the soldiers and quickly crossed the river.

On the south bank, he was tied to a stake.

Lu Xun could see clearly that there were four iron locks, which were bound to the wooden piles on the bank, and then across the river.

Zhang Liao looked at the auxiliary soldier's action with a touch of self-confidence in his mouth.

This is the result of countless training.

Now, at last, it comes in handy.

Zhang Liao said with a smile, "Mr. Lu, what is the ability of the auxiliary soldiers to build bridges in Wei?"

Lu Xun said: "great!"

Lu Xun also had to admit that he was very familiar with the skills of these auxiliary soldiers.

Zhang Liao said, "is it difficult to attack the state of Wu with these ambushes?"

Lu Xun said: "it's not difficult to cross the Yangtze River. It's just general Zhang. Can we cross the Yangtze River? Can these auxiliary soldiers build a floating bridge over the Yangtze River? "

Zhang Liao said with a smile: "it's very difficult, but now, isn't it over the bridge?"

Lu Xun's eyes narrowed and said coldly, "General Zhang, what does that mean?"

Zhang Liao said: "Lord Lu, the enemy now is Liu Xiu. The state of Wei and the state of Chu cooperate sincerely. What I will consider is how the state of Wu will resist after the destruction of Chu? "

Lu Xun listened with a sneer in his heart.

Destroy the state of Chu?

Zhang Liao, this is wishful thinking.

On the surface, the state of Wei took the initiative to enter Danyang county first.

However, all these are appearances.

Lu Xun would not reveal what he thought. He said: "General Zhang, Liu Xiu is in Yizhou, Jiaozhou, Jingzhou and Liangzhou. His power is no less than that of Wei. It is very difficult for the state of Wei to destroy the state of Chu. What about the state of Wu? "

Zhang Liao said: "Lord Lu is confident."

At this time, Zhang Liao was also contemptuous.

This time Zhang Liao went to Danyang County, he wanted to attack Wu County. He would not attack Chu for the time being.

First destroy the state of Wu, then destroy the state of Chu.

This was the policy set by Zhang Liao, Xun you and Cao Pi.

Lu Xun looked at the auxiliary soldiers who were building the bridge. These auxiliary soldiers moved quickly. After the iron lock was pulled up, the ships that had been enlisted were searched one by one. Then they laid boards on the ships and put the boards on the ships.It's all going on very quickly.

So it is. It's getting dark.

Fortunately, the day's rain finally stopped.

A torch lit, lit up the river, and the ambush bridge is still continuing.

At this time, knowing that the bridge could not be completed in a short time, Zhang Liao ordered the soldiers to camp nearby.

When the troops were stationed, Lu Xun followed them into the camp.

Lu Xun has a separate tent.

After dinner, he went back to the tent and took out a roll of parchment map from his arms by the light of the oil lamp. The marks on the map are the mountains and rivers of Danyang county.

He gazed at the map, and his eyes fell on the position of the Fushui river.

This position is half a day away from his ambush point.

"No hands on the Yangtze River, no hands on Yunwu Mountain, no hands on Fushui river. At this time, Zhang Liao has relaxed his vigilance. "

"When we enter the ambush tomorrow, it's time to start."

"The decisive battle is tomorrow."

After looking at the map, Lu Xun put it away and lay down to rest.

When he came, the battle was arranged.

Today, after a day's walking, the war will begin tomorrow.

Nothing happened overnight.

The next morning it was bright.

On this day, the sky was blue and brilliant, and a red sun had risen, emitting heat.

The weather in June and July is getting hotter and hotter instead of getting colder after the rain.

It was so hot that the soldiers got up early.

After breakfast, the soldiers were ready to leave.

Lu Xun came to the bank and saw the floating bridge on the river. Overnight, the pontoon has been built. This floating bridge is covered with wooden boards, and under it are small boats, and then there are iron locks to ensure that the boats will not be disturbed.

Lu Xun stepped on it and nodded his approval.

He took the soldiers to cross the river first. After crossing the river bank, Cao Jun's pioneers also began to cross the river.

After the army had crossed the river, the army went on.

All the way, because of the hot weather, many places on the road are dry, but the ground is soft, and it is easy to slip when walking.

Half a day, 30 miles in the morning.

It's not fast, but it rained yesterday after all.

It's near noon.

The army came to a low-lying area.

In this area, the terrain is flat and open, but the surrounding rolling hills are not too high.

After passing through this area, the army entered Wuhu County.

As long as you go through Wuhu County, you can finally reach Wanling County, the seat of Danyang county.
