Yu De laid out a poisonous area, or to be more precise, a plague area along the path that the army must pass through.
The three generals Deng Qiang, Zhang Xutuo and Zhang Hao failed to notice for a while and eventually fell into their scheme.
However, fortunately, Li Xiang himself was very wary of the evil methods of Lu Yue, Yu De and others, so he had already given some hints to Li Jing.
Moreover, the miracle doctor Sun Simiao was also in the army, so Yu De was not allowed to get what he wanted for the time being, and he did not really let these thousands of troops enter the camp.
Otherwise, if it really develops to that extent, even Sun Simiao may not be able to do anything about it.
After all, even if Sun Simiao can find a solution in the end, if hundreds of thousands of people are really endangered, it will be a huge difficulty to collect enough herbs for these hundreds of thousands of people.
No matter how rich the Jin army is, if they can collect the herbs needed by hundreds of thousands of people at once, then...
Moreover, by the time these medicinal herbs are used on the battlefield from various states, I am afraid that many people will no longer know how long they have been waiting for...
It takes time to gather these herbs from various states. After they are gathered together and then transported to the front line, especially on such a journey, it takes even more time.
But now, at least this possibility has been controlled within a certain range, and the risk has also been controlled within a certain range.
However, until Sun Simiao comes up with a solution, he may not be able to advance again in a short period of time. In other words, there is no need to take that risk and advance again.
In fact, Wang Meng could probably guess that the real situation was definitely not as terrible as they thought. Even if Dai Tuo really agreed with Yu De in setting up such a plague area, the dangers involved were definitely not as dangerous as they thought.
It's so big, even far less than they thought.
After all, this is Hanzhong and Yizhou after all, and things like the plague are absolutely uncontrollable. Once one is not controlled well, the Jin army's more than 200,000 troops will definitely be a threat by then, and the entire army will be threatened.
Destruction is extremely possible.
But if the control is not good, what will the people of Hanzhong do? What will the people of Yizhou do?
If a bad thing really spreads, Yizhou's losses will definitely be greater than that of the Jin army, and even ten times and a hundred times more miserable than the Jin army. Moreover, if Dai Tuo dares to use such a method, I am afraid he will not take care of himself.
Posthumously named.
Therefore, Wang Meng guessed that the epidemic area was probably only temporary. After Deng Qiang and the others retreated, Tuo himself would have to order Yu De to completely eliminate it.
However, some problems can be guessed correctly, but that does not mean that you can have the capital to gamble. Some things cannot be gambled on, especially when you are sure of winning. As long as Sun Simiao can find a solution, these will no longer be possible.
hindered them.
After all, if they lose this bet, if the enemy is really so crazy and desperate...
Really, the life and death of the 200,000 Jin army is really just a trivial matter. What is really serious is likely to affect the life and death of tens of millions of people.
In ancient times, plague was such a terrible thing.
Even if Wang Meng is a standard strategist who can laugh at the bloodshed caused by his own schemes, he is not so cruel that he can ignore the death of millions of people.
Even if he is a strategist, or even a cold-blooded person, at least his blood is still cold and warm. But if a person can really ignore the lives and deaths of millions of people, then he is really terrible.
Already...
However, even if Sun Simiao is powerful, it will take time to find a solution to the problem, and within this period of time, Li Jing is destined to be unable to advance further.
And during this period of time, bad news came to Li Jing!
Lianyan was defeated...
This defeat, to put it bluntly, can be called an unprecedented defeat in the history of the Jin army.
It is not that the Jin army has never been defeated, but it was so defeated that the entire army was annihilated. From the generals to the soldiers, except for the general who survived, everyone else perished on the battlefield. This was the first time in history.
Moreover, although the last general survived, he was unable to fight hard and was knocked unconscious by the enemy and captured alive. Only then did he survive in the end.
On that day, Yang Jian and Shen Luoyan hid the thousand soldiers and horses they brought back, but they entered Nanzheng alone.
Later, Yang Jian detached a thousand troops from the five thousand defenders of Nanzheng and pretended to be the troops they had brought back with them and went out to encircle and suppress the Lianyan headquarters.
Lian Yan is a famous general. Of course, he knows very well that they only have a thousand people left in the final analysis. It is not the time to fight fiercely with the enemy. The most important thing is to use their limited power in the most critical places.
, to hit the snake seven inches.
Therefore, when we have no confidence in taking over Nanzheng, Geng Yan's goal has always been only one, and that is the enemy's food and fodder.
If Master Yan does not transport food to the front line, then Geng Yan's troops will not have any possibility of successfully attacking the food supply. However, if he does not transport food to the front line, how can the battle situation on the front line be maintained?
If Master Yan really did this, then this would have been the greatest success for Geng Yan.
Therefore, no matter how dangerous it is along the way, even if they know that a poisonous snake is hidden around them, Zhu Fuyan must find a way to transport the food and grass.
But there is no way in this world to guard against thieves for a thousand days. In the end, it is impossible to guard against them. Therefore, Lianyan made another gain after this.
Fortunately, the master and his father are not stupid, and they all ship out in very small batches. Otherwise, if they continue to be robbed like this, they will not be able to bear the price.
And it was precisely because Lian Yan knew that their most important goal was not to fight fiercely with the enemy, but to provide the enemy with food and fodder. Therefore, although Yang Jian led troops and horses to search for them everywhere, Geng Yan did not fight Yang Jian head-on.
Instead, he tried his best to avoid the other party and played a hide-and-seek game with the other party.
Afterwards, Yang Jian also grasped the key point and guarded the food and grass. Anyway, the enemy's goal was food and grass. As long as they guarded the food and grass, without them taking the initiative to look for it, the enemy would show up. Unless the enemy was willing to watch them take the food and grass.
Transported to the front line.
Therefore, Geng Yan was forced to have no choice but to hide like this. He could only try to get acquainted with the most powerful general in Yizhou and the former No. 1 general in the Sui army.
