The Northern Tang military had a fixed habit.When dividing the troops, the commanders of each road will write down their own progress as secret information, one to the capital, and the rest to other roads, so that they can be familiar with each other, so that they can cooperate and closely echo each other, so as not to be isolated.Ren Zhen, as a transshipment envoy, is responsible for transporting grain and grass, and it is even more necessary to know the military situation of the three routes, so there is not a lot of information gathered in his hands.Through intelligence, he knew that along the way to Puyang, Xiahou Chun's fresh army confronted Chen Qingzhi, and in the face of the latter's fierce firepower, the defense was extremely difficult, and the casualties were heavy.The scale of this rainstorm was large, taking advantage of the beauty of the sky, the enemy army was difficult to attack the city, and the Tang army had a short respite, and he went to reward the army at this time, which could play a role in boosting morale.As for luring Chen Qing to take the bait, this is a grand plan, and relying on Huwei's weak combat power alone is definitely not enough.Pull a hair and move the whole body, and when they see Xiahou Chun, they have to sum it up.It rained heavily for two whole days.Three days later, Ren Zhen gathered all the generals and assigned the task of transporting grain for the first time.Tongcheng's Blood Marquis Army was in charge of Muye, and Mo Ranyi and Mu Qingmeng assisted in transporting grain; Changping's Jinghou Army, headed by Fan Dongliu, supplemented by Zhao Xianglu and Zhuoer; In the direction of Puyang in the center, Ren Zhen personally went out, and in view of the complex interpersonal relationship, he took Xiahou Ba, Mei Lang and Xiuxiu with him.The three grain teams, all equipped with 10,000 tiger guards, according to Ren Zhen's order, the first march to transport grain, they do not need to be too anxious, they must be cautious, pay attention to the terrain everywhere, and after being safe, then draw a map to determine the grain road line.The base camp of Wuchao was secretly controlled by the prison army, leading the original defenders to defend the city.In the early morning, three grain teams were dispatched at the same time, each escorting 50,000 stones of grain and grass to set off.The morning light was faint, and Ren Zhen's team headed due south, and just a short distance out of the city, they entered the reckless deep mountains.The northern part is steep, with numerous mountains and dense forest vegetation, and there is no shortage of treacherous areas.From Wuchao to Puyang, the distance is not very far, but on the way the mountains are continuous, clouds and mist, which is not conducive to the passage of grain trucks, and it is more convenient for the enemy to set up ambushes, and it is dangerous, so this road is not easy to walk.After the heavy rain, the distant mountains are verdant, the air is cool, and the quiet environment is even more refreshing, however, the army has no time to enjoy the scenery.Heavy sacks were consigned, the wagons were already not moving fast, the ground was full of standing water, the soil was softer after the rain, and the wheels were often stuck in pits, and they were in a dilemma.In such a situation, the sergeants could only push the cart in the back, which was very hard to get covered in mud.Ren Zhen had anticipated the difficulties and was not too worried.He knew that the difficulties were only temporary, and when the Mo craftsmen in Huqiu built the wooden oxen and flowing horses, and the machinery was flexible, these problems would be solved.Riding on a horse, he held a cowhide map in his hand, and his attention was focused on observing the terrain around him.Xiahou Ba carried grain for his father, and he was extremely dedicated and diligently patrolled all parts of the grain team.Mei Lang came with this time, the only purpose was to get along with Ren Zhen and strive to win his approval, so he rode a horse and followed him, never leaving an inch.Taking advantage of Ren Zhen's efforts to drink water, he asked, "Teacher, I don't know something.What are you assigning generals based on" Ren Zhen put down the water bladder and said: "Why do you care about this" Mei Lang replied: "I am a little puzzled.In the team that went to Tongcheng, Makino was just a rough man and didn't know anything about the art of war, why did you let him be the master Mo Dye Yi and Miss Mu were both from famous families and knew how to learn, which one was not better than Makino" Ren Zhen smiled slightly."
Also, Zhao Xianglu and another person are from Xiling, I don't mean to despise it, it's just that you are not afraid that the two of them will join forces and not be bound by Fan Gongzi" Hearing this, the embroidery of the companion came up quietly, looking forward to how Ren Zhen answered.Ren Zhen replied casually: "Because Makino and Fan Dongliu have the strongest combat power. ”Mei Lang was stunned, "It's that simple, I thought there was a deep meaning" Ren Zhen shook his head and didn't speak again.What he thought in his heart was that although you kept claiming that I was a teacher, the teacher didn't want to raise a tiger and teach you seriously.The reason why he reuses Makino is not only because he has a good impression of this person, but also because Mo Mu and the others are pampered, they are too arrogant, they are easy to slack off and underestimate the enemy, and they are not suitable for generals, but Makino is more down-to-earth.As for the other team, Fan Dongliu's ability is beyond doubt, even if Zhao Xianglu wants to play a woman's temper, he can calm it down and will not condone her, so Ren Zhen can trust him.The key to the distribution of power lies in checks and balances.It's not complicated, actually.Xiuxiu thought thoughtfully and quipped: "If you respect strength, you should let me be the leader of this team." ”Mei Lang turned sideways, glanced at Xiuxiu, and signaled her not to mess around.Ren Zhen smiled playfully, "You're right.Among the four of us, Mei Lang and Xiahou Chun will definitely not be able to beat me, but it's you, I haven't been able to see through your realm. ”When Mei Lang heard this, his face stiffened slightly, he looked at the beautiful face of Xiuxiu, and said suspiciously: "Brother Lin, I already knew that you practiced, and I thought that you were doing a small way, listening to the teacher's meaning, what, are you unfathomable" He has known Xiuxiu for a long time, but he has been kept in the dark, and today he was broken by Ren Zhendao, and he realized that it turned out to be a real person who did not show his face, and this famous prostitute in the capital is not simple.Xiuxiu looked calm, there was no emotion on his face, and said softly: "It's just a clumsy little trick, it can hide and cultivate, and it makes Hou Ye smile."
However, it is indeed a little better than you. ”Her heart was slightly cold, the cats were all dusty women, mixed with the hook fence, good at hiding the realm to protect herself, and the owner didn't know it, and at this time she deliberately broke it, obviously reminding Mei Lang.Ren Zhen turned around and said jokingly: "How many Six Realms is a little bit, or is it the peak of the Seven Realms" Xiuxiu pursed her lips and smiled, "I'm afraid it will scare you when I say it, I'm the Great Grandmaster of the Eight Realms" Mei Lang laughed heartily, thinking that this joke was very funny.Ren Zhen smiled, glanced at her sword, and rode forward.A lot of the truth is often told as a joke.It's just that the authorities are fascinated, and people can't realize it.Half a day's effort, the grain team went deep into the mountains, the more in, the mountains and mountains, the higher the terrain, until the sunset fell, a row of mountain peaks in front of everyone's eyes, blocking the way.Standing at the foot of the mountain, looking into the distance, there are misty clouds everywhere, and in the dim twilight, they merge with the sky and the sky, and there is no end in sight."
Let's pick a fairy road" Mei Lang stared into the depths of the clouds, took a breath of cold air, and couldn't help but sigh.Xiuxiu also felt frustrated, urged the horse to come to Ren Zhen's side, and asked: "Master Hou, are we lost, the route you set is to pass through here" Ren Zhen looked at the map in his hand, and said faintly: "That's right, this is it." ”Xiuxiu leaned over and saw that his fingers were pinching a map with three words written on it.Nanxi Mountain.When the mountain wind blew, Mei Lang's body felt cold, shrunk his neck, and said: "Teacher, how do I feel a little gloomy, let's stay in place for the night" Ren Zhen shook his head and said: "There are people in the depths of the clouds, let's go into the mountains for the night." ”Mei Langton was surprised, "How do you know that there are people in front of you, have you been here before" Ren Zhen grabbed the reins and walked forward."
