At the front of the queue, the stalemate continued. Both sides were planning ways to throw the blame for the delay in the trip away.
"Youdu, are you going to wait like this forever?"
Right in front of their eyes, soldiers were working together to move away those boulders and big tree stumps. Although there were as many soldiers as there were here, they were completely enough.
However, it is useless no matter how many people there are, the work efficiency will not be improved much at all.
There is a reason for this, just look at the road conditions ahead.
The reason why Di Qin was able to block the road tightly was because there were mountain walls on both sides of the path, and the road was sandwiched in the middle.
It is relatively narrow and the operable area is very limited.
No matter how many soldiers there are, they are useless.
Each of those huge rocks weighed almost a hundred dendrobes. Without the combined efforts of more than a dozen soldiers, they could not even be moved.
It was okay for Huan Chong not to speak, but when he spoke he made people angry.
"If you don't wait, what else can you do?"
"You and I are going to move the rocks too?"
Xie Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked very aggressive. Huan Chong immediately waved his hand: "Don't be angry, I'm telling the truth."
"There are so many stones. According to the current situation, it will take less than ten days to move them all. The army is stagnant here and the food is not enough."
"The longer you delay, the more trouble you will have."
food!
He still dares to mention it!
Xie Xuan's head buzzed when he thought of this.
Everyone knows the situation of their garrison in Yuanjiang. They don't have enough food to eat. If they stay here for a few more days, they will be even more stretched!
Xie Xuan was so angry that he could not speak. The little thoughts in his heart were as clear as a mirror to Huan Chong.
"Youdu, you are so smart, think about it and see if there is any other way."
"General Huan, if I remember correctly, the area near Xiangyang has always been your territory. Isn't there any solution that you should think of?"
Haha...hahaha...
Huan Chong scratched his neck, feeling very embarrassed.
"If I had my way, would I still ask you?"
Every time at this time, Huan Chong would be shameless and calm.
When Xie Xuan was helpless, Huan Yi pulled Wang Mi and hurried over.
People's mentality is indeed changing rapidly. Just now, Huan Yi was still undecided about whether to give Xie Xuan advice.
At this moment, he perked up, as if he was a different person.
This made Wang Mi wonder what he had done to have such a huge influence.
Is there a pit ahead?
Huan Yi ran to Xie Xuan first and spread out the map without saying a word.
Seeing such a detailed map, Xie Xuan's expression could be described as calm.
"Wild King, you are actually still doing this?"
"Of course, it is also useful when marching and fighting."
"However, your painting skills are getting better and better." Huan Chong also came over and made a few comments.
King Huanye had such a hobby of drawing since he was a child, and almost everyone inside and outside the court knew about it.
However, no one regards this hobby as serious knowledge.
Unexpectedly, Huan Yi is still persisting after all these years.
Wang Mi was a little shocked. He originally thought that Huan Yi drew maps just for practical purposes in fighting, but he did not expect that it was his personal hobby.
This hobby is really impressive...
"Wild King, what's wrong with this picture?"
Xie Xuan held the map, but for the moment he didn't see anything strange about the things drawn on the map.
When it was Huan Yi's turn to speak, he didn't respond and pushed Wang Mi instead.
Wang Mi immediately understood and helped people to the end. It was my turn!
He wiped his sweat, looked directly at Xie Xuan and said: "Actually, this is a map drawn by Ye Wang specifically for this Xiangyang battle. The contents of the drawing are all the mountains and roads around Xiangyang City, which are very detailed."
Wang Mi raised the map a little higher just to let the two veterans have a clear look.
"The picture is a good picture, but what next?"
The map is very detailed, even better than the one currently used by Huan Chong, which both veterans recognized.
However, they did not see Huan Chong's intention in taking out his treasure.
"Two generals, please look here."
Wang Mi stretched out his finger and placed it on the small hill that showed Qiao Shan.
"There is another small road here that can be used by the army."
"This has been verified by Ye Wang. I feel that it is not a bad idea to change the path."
Although this proposal is bold, Wang Mi is very sure that Xie Xuan will be quite shocked when he hears it.
Sure enough, as soon as the words came out of his mouth, Xie Xuan showed a surprised look.
If we follow the routines of various historical TV dramas in the previous life, it should now develop to Xie Xuan holding Wang Mi's shoulders, shouting that his younger brother is wise, and the army quickly turns to Qiao Shan.
However, reality is far more complicated than TV dramas.
Xie Xuan pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The method is a good one, but for now it is better to be safe."
safe?
What time has it been!
If you wait any longer, the day lilies will be cold.
"General Xie, the military situation is urgent. Don't you want to capture Xiangyang City?"
"Look at the soldiers behind you. They are all working hard and working together. Why don't you seize such a good opportunity?"
Wang Mi was impatient and spoke in a somewhat careless tone. Xie Xuan quickly frowned. What did this mean?
Are you blaming me?
In the Jin family, right or wrong is not that important. The most important thing is the face of the children of the family!
Right now, Xie Xuan felt that he had no face.
"How can you be sure that taking this route will save time?" Xie Xuan glared at Wang Mi angrily.
Huan Yi's prediction was correct. As long as Wang Mi was around, Xie Xuan's anger would not be directed at him.
Although he felt a little sorry, Wang Mi's situation was still much better than that of Huan Yi.
Wang Mi was dissatisfied, but he still licked his lips and spoke with great effort: "General Xie, according to my estimate, it will take less than ten days to clean up all these huge rocks and debris."
"General, please look at the distance between Qiaoshan and here. It's only a hundred miles. We are moving quickly with our army. If the weather is good, we may be able to reach it in a day and a night."
To put it nicely, how could marching and fighting be such a simple thing? Soon, Xie Xuan found a reason to make things difficult.
"What should I do if there is no road or I can't pass after I arrive?"
"Of course it's better to come back again. It's better to waste two days at most every time you come back than to wait here all the time and consume food in the same place."
Buzzing…
As soon as food was mentioned, Xie Xuan's old illness relapsed, he held his head and became angry. However, Huan Yi did not see what was wrong with this sentence.
Something bad is happening!
Huan Yi is confused!
How can we mention food at this time?
Wang Mi immediately rushed forward and said, "Knowing that the general has concerns, we also thought of a way to get the best of both worlds."
What a buddy!
Huan Yi immediately cast a look of approval.
"What method?"
Best of both worlds?
And such good things?
Xie Xuan, who was begging for a solution, of course had to listen carefully.
