What Cai Guishan said is that there is a solution to the Dead Soldiers' Camp, which is actually to hang the rope hook to the opposite side, and then climb over along the rope.

It's an understatement to say it, but it is indeed not something that ordinary people can do. Even the death camp, not everyone can climb through this method.

In addition to the requirements on arm strength, rope climbers also have to be fearless of hanging in mid-air.

The biggest difficulty is that people can cross, but horses and supplies cannot cross, unless a bridge is built, but the distance of nearly ten feet is here, not to mention that the trees have been cut down and burned by the Wei army, even if there are trees, they are not this long.

Li Xiaofei led everyone to the destroyed Tianshengshi Bridge and took a look. They saw an endless crack opening on the top of the mountain like an axe, and the crack was so deep that it was bottomless.

"The purpose in the past was to reinforce Sanjiangkou. If the horses and supplies couldn't get through, just a few hundred people would go over. It wouldn't be of much use!" Li Xiaofei stopped the Death Soldier Battalion who was about to take action.

Lin Changsheng paused his feet, "If we had attacked earlier, perhaps the natural stone bridge would have been saved! It's a pity, building another bridge will be as difficult as climbing to the sky!"

"Sir, if you can't build a hard bridge, why don't you build a soft bridge?" Song Dahu stuck his head out and spoke.

Li Xiaofei and several generals looked at him and said, "Is it possible that you have a way to build a bridge? Build a soft bridge? Tell me!"

Song Dahu took a straw rope from his body and said, "Mr. Li, when I go back, I will ask the whole village to cut the palm grass and scrape the bark. We will work together overnight to make a strong rope. As long as there are a hundred or so ropes to pull it over, we can lay it."

Tied up with wooden planks, not only people can pass, but horses and supplies can also pass!"

"Can a straw rope withstand a horse weighing several hundred kilograms?" Chen Jingyi felt that this idea was not very reliable.

"It's not enough to just pull the straw ropes one by one, but we connect the big and small straw ropes into a net and drive iron stakes on both sides. Even objects weighing a thousand kilograms can be passed over!" Song Dahu continued to add.

When Li Xiaofei heard that this idea was indeed feasible, he patted Song Dahu on the shoulder, "Dahu, you have done a great job. Today I will promote you to the commander of the road-opening battalion! From now on, you will be solely responsible for building bridges and building roads!"

Song Dahu smiled happily, "Thank you, Mr. Li, thank you, Mr. Li, then I will lead people to build the bridge now!"

"Go ahead. If you need manpower and knives, just report them to me. I'll be waiting for your good news here!"

Song Dahu first went to the opposite side with 30 people from the Dead Soldiers Camp and fixed three ropes. After leaving 20 people to guard them, the rest climbed back and went to weave rope nets and saw wood with the villagers.

It only took two days and one night to build a soft bridge between the two mountains.

Chen Jingyi was the last one to pass by. It was only then that he told everyone that he was afraid of standing on high places, especially knowing that there was an abyss below.

In order to get Chen Jingyi over, Li Xiaofei had someone cover Chen Jingyi's eyes with a black cloth, and then used a rope to lead Chen Jingyi over step by step.

At the same time, Zhou Dapeng and the other four battalions had arrived outside Qiantang City.

There was chaos in Qiantang City. The first reaction of the prefect Qian Shiming was to abandon the city and flee, but was immediately placed under house arrest by the guard Yuan Hong.

Yuan Hong led the 4,000 defenders in the city and drove the people to the city to defend, waiting for Zhou Dapeng to attack the city alone.

Zhou Dapeng led the Sword Shield Camp, the Kaishan Camp, the Changji Camp and the Diggers to build a high platform outside the city. They only fired arrows from the high platform into the city every day and beat drums and shouted at midnight, which made the soldiers and civilians of Qiantang City exhausted.

Yuan Hong's men tried to leave the city to rob the camp several times, but they were stopped by Yuan Hong. Yuan Hong knew that his opponent's purpose was to lure them out of the city.

Fortunately, Qiantang City was rich and could supply food, rice, fish and meat for three years. Yuan Hong did not send anyone to Jinling to ask for help. In his opinion, the enemy's conspiracy was not just to lure the Qiantang defenders out of the city to gather and annihilate them, but it was probably a pretense.

To besiege Qiantang is actually to ambush the reinforcements coming from Jinling or Sanjiangkou halfway.

Zhou Dapeng surrounded and did not fight, which was actually catching a big fish. However, this fish did not come from Jinling, but An Siqing from Sanjiangkou.

The food and grass for An Siqing's military camp are all supplied from Qiantang. Now that the food road is cut off, An Siqing only has one month's worth of food and grass left.

Zhou Dapeng sent someone disguised as Qiantang's defeated army to report the news to Sanjiangkou. An Siqing, who had just returned to Sanjiangkou, learned that Qiantang was besieged, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground.

Ouyang Ning immediately picked up the sword and handed it to An Siqing's hand, "Qiantang City is well-defended and has sufficient food and grass. General, there is no need to worry! I guess the enemy must have deliberately sent people back to report the news so that our army could come back for reinforcements, and then they ambushed us halfway!"

"

"If we don't return aid, where will our food and grass come from? This is a trap we know is a trap!" Yang Yuan shook his head.

"It seems that our opponent this time is not simple. First, the navy came from Sanjiangkou to attract us, and then a group of people came to fight us. Unexpectedly, there was a group of people heading towards Qiantang!" An Siwen actually wanted to retreat for a long time.

After spending several months going back and forth here, we failed to capture Sanjiangkou, nor did we defeat the enemy frontally. Now the food route has been cut off again.

An Siqing looked at everyone, "Is there no other way? Do you have to go back and take advantage of the Southern Navy's trap? Let's go forward. The enemies in Sanjiangkou City will come out soon. The enemy in the south may also be something."

Time will follow! By then we will be in a situation surrounded by three sides!"

"It's not that there is no way, but if we go back like this, I'm afraid General An will be punished!" Ouyang Ning stroked his beard, as if he had something to say.

"As long as we can save thousands of our troops, what's the point of being punished? Mr. Ouyang, please stop being too tight-lipped!"

"Yes, since Mr. Ouyang has a clever plan, he should come up with it to save all brothers!"

"Well, instead of returning to Qiantang via the original route, we will go northeast along the seaside, bypass Qiantang, and go directly back to Jinling! As for the grain and grass, we will requisition them along the road!" This was Ouyang Ning's idea to take a detour.

Normally, An Siqing would not adopt it, but this time it was different. This time the opponent, the Nanhai Navy, was different from the previous Daliang officers and soldiers, and was more cunning than the Mobei people. If they were to fight one on one, the Wei army would

It is not a match for the Southern Navy at all. What's more, the Southern Navy's wealth has already caused a small number of people to desert and run away. If there are a few more encounters, the Southern Navy can defeat the Wei army just by setting up the pot.

After thinking for a while, An Siqing ordered, "The whole army will attack Sanjiangkou again! Follow me!"

All the generals knew that this was An Siqing's usual tactic, so they all gathered their troops and followed the charge.

Zhu Asan and Meng Wuyao saw the dark Wei army at the top of the city, all rushing towards the city wall, and immediately led their men to the city to resist.

The Wei army did not really rush to the city wall, but pushed out all the siege equipment and smashed all the large stones prepared into the city.

Zhu Asan and Meng Wuwu only knew that the Wei army was making a last-ditch effort to seize Sanjiangkou, so they both lay down in the hidden soldier holes on the city wall and waited for the Wei army to attack the city.

An hour later, the Wei army withdrew. Zhu Asan thought that they could go out of the city to pursue them. Meng Crow believed that this was a trick by the Wei army to lure the enemy. To be on the safe side, the two of them still did not go out of the city to pursue them.

The situation in Jiangnan suddenly became very unfavorable to the Wei army, and Cui Ju, an old friend, was also restless at this moment.

Cui Ju and Shen De spent a lot of effort to appease the Chen family's old army and annex Shu.

Unexpectedly, the land of Shu turned into a mess. For Cui Ju, this was better than expected.

Not only was Chen's old army leaderless, Chen Kuan, his great enemy in Shu, was also defeated and killed. For a while, there was no threat to Cui Ju in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

The only troublesome people are Chen Hongyi, who has retired and returned to his hometown, and Li Xiaofei, the governor of Nanhai County. They have soldiers and food in hand.

After learning that the Southern Navy was dispatched, Cui Ju's troops at Wuling Pass were very frightened. Cui Ju once wanted to send reinforcements there.

But Li Xiaofei took the Southern Navy to the south of the Yangtze River. Cui Ju was overjoyed when he heard the news, so he began to think of going north to the Central Plains.

"There is no need to worry in Sichuan. We will tell you in the future that there will be a war between the bandits and bandits of Wei in the South China Sea. How long will it take if we don't take the Central Plains now?" Cui Ju told Shen De his thoughts and wanted Shen De to lead the troops directly.

Attack Luoyang.

Shen De smiled and said, "According to the spies' reports, Luoyang City is just filled with old and weak soldiers. If our army comes to the city, we can definitely capture it before the Wei army comes back for reinforcements. But now, there are starving people everywhere outside Luoyang City. It's hard to conquer such a city."

, what’s the use? It can’t solve the main force of the Wei army!”

Cui Ju was a little displeased. Before he could speak, his nephew Cui Kewen spoke, "General Shen has also been a veteran who has led troops for many years. Doesn't he know the importance of Luoyang? By letting us take Luoyang, my uncle is announcing to the world that we

That’s the orthodoxy!”

Another nephew, Cui Keyuan, also laughed: "By conquering Luoyang, we can take advantage of the fertile fields of Guanzhong in the west, and we can take Lianghuai in the east. We have a chance to win the battle in the Central Plains. This God-given opportunity must not be missed!"

Shen De originally wanted to say something more, but when he thought of Cui Ju's recent personnel arrangements, he just nodded, "It makes sense. I am good at military affairs, but I know nothing about politics. The two major generals have extraordinary knowledge. I think Cui will be the one to win the battle in the Central Plains."

It’s public!”

Cui Ju finally smiled and said, "Haha, General Shen, you don't have to be humble. I rely on you when I go to battle to kill the enemy and train the army! In the future, when I conquer the world and become famous, General Shen will be the king!"

Shen De waved his hands repeatedly, "How dare you, how dare you, these soldiers and food are all from Cui Gong, I am just a reckless man, I am willing to do my best for Cui Gong's great cause!"

After Shen De agreed to lead the expedition to Luoyang, Cui Ju was busy adding nine tins to himself. The young emperor was not far from the Zen throne.

Cui Ju's nephews and grandsons, even those with the surname Cui, were given official positions. If there was really no place to place them, they designed a "official with the same position" who only received a salary and did not work in the government office.

When Shen De went on an expedition, Cui Keyuan went with him as deputy commander. Firstly, Cui Keyuan needed military exploits, and secondly, he wanted to monitor Shen De. This was Cui Ju's arrangement.

But Cui Keyuan also has his own little Jiujiu. Cui Keyuan brought a private chef along the way. Every meal must be served to Shen De first, and he was polite to Shen De.

Shen De is so smart, he knows that this kid is waiting for Cui Ju to become the emperor in the future and become the crown prince, hoping to get Shen De's support.

Shen De also ate and drank heavily when he had a meal, and when he was full and drunk, he would flatter and hint at Cui Keyuan.

Since the main force of the Wei army was transferred to Jinling and Lianghuai, Shen De and Cui Keyuan only encountered a few groups of resurgent bandits along the way, and fought a few battles and lost more than a hundred people.

But this was nothing to mention for an army of 30,000. Starting from Xiangyang, it took half a month to reach the gates of Luoyang City.
Chapter completed!
