Chapter 253: Fate

Just after a heavy rain, the already bumpy road in the mid-meridian valley was even slippery. Although the first half of the frame has been built, because of the current situation, Liu Yi is only in the first half of the construction, as for the second half Duan, I can only wait until the war is over. The husband is put back halfway. The road construction is not free. The price of a hundred dollars a day is not low, so you do n’t have to worry about not calling in people when the time comes.

Seeing the mountain road is difficult, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, after the heavy rain, Liu Yi let the craftsmen leave for two days without money, but a meal is still provided every day.

Among Liu Yi ’s temporary camps, a huge sand table occupies at least half of the camp ’s space. The mountains and rivers from Yangpingguan to Ziwu Valley are all displayed on this sand table. Liu Yi carefully compared the map. Apart from the supervisor, he did the most thing to explore the terrain under the guidance of the guide. After a few months, the terrain from Yangpingguan to Ziwu Valley, the mountains and rivers in Liu Yi's heart were like observing the patterns in the palm, Only made this sand table.

It ’s not exactly the same, but probably the scale and topography will not be wrong. For Liu Yi, the biggest function is to improve his own design. Of course, it is also suitable for military use. With this As for the sand table, as long as the information sent by the scout is timely and the enemy's movements, there is no secret at all for Liu Yi.

"An arch bridge is to be erected here. The support must be completed first. The length must be three feet five feet six inches, the height one foot three, and the width one foot two." Liu Yi pointed to a mountain stream, facing the craftsman beside him Tao, although the people have stopped working, Liu Yi here will carefully modify the design of the road every day.

"Sir, we have also seen it before. The three-foot five-foot six-inch stand is not easy to transport. This weight is too heavy, and the roads in this area have not been repaired. It is not easy to transport it, and the crane cannot get on. "A craftsman frowned.

The brackets are made of iron. This year, there is no welding technology. These brackets must be cast in the workshop and then sent up. Liu Yi has researched cement, but that is only cement, not concrete. It is impossible to complete the construction by cement alone. After the brackets are laid, a layer of wooden boards needs to be laid, and then constructed with cement and masonry. These problems abound in the Meridian Valley.

"I also thought about this!" Liu Yi nodded and looked at a group of artisans: "Will you try to cast these brackets into a tenon-and-mortar structure, so that the bracket can be disassembled into roots, After delivery to the place, can it be assembled again? "

His casting skills are already at level 6. This difficult thing was difficult to cast before, but now with the problem of furnace temperature solved, some simple smelting operations are already possible, although the brackets obtained by doing so are not directly as a whole firm However, most of the attributes that appear in buildings like bridges will have attributes such as firmness and stability, which should make up for the shortcomings in this regard.

"Maybe give it a try!" Several blacksmiths heard their words but their eyes were bright. They followed Liu Yi when they were in Mocheng. They themselves have a certain blacksmith foundation. They have followed Liu Yi to go south and north over the years. Many times, some difficulties need to be overcome.

"While taking a break now, first try to make a pair. If it is feasible, this will be used for bridge construction in the future, but the support under the bridge cannot be like this." Liu Yi nodded and smiled.

"Mr. rest assured, I will wait to know what to do." Several blacksmiths agreed.

With this idea, many problems can be solved in this way. Some people even suggested that you try to make a 30-foot-long large bracket. In this way, this large bracket alone will allow the new army to at least allow The army walked thirty miles away.

Liu Yi did not directly agree, but you can give it a try. If it is really successful, this Meridian Valley Road can save half of the distance in distance.

From Hanzhong to Ziwu Valley to leaving Qinling, the distance calculated from the map is actually more than three hundred miles, but in fact, the actual distance traveled down the mountain on this road is twice or even three times the distance of the map. To build a bridge as long as thirty feet, and if it can be secured, there will be too many roads to save.

But the design of the bridge is not simply a bridge to complete, there are many things to consider, especially the 30-foot bridge, is also suspended, how to solve the problem of load-bearing allocation, how to fix and so on, to At the current technical level, to solve these problems, I am afraid that a lot of things need to be done under the bridge body to stabilize the bridge body.

"Mr.!" Huang Zhong walked in quickly and greeted Liu Yi.

"Old General, what's the matter?" Liu Yi saw Huang Zhong's face dignified, knowing that it was related to the military, waved his hand, and the craftsman in the tent retreated.

"The trace of Cao Jun was found." Huang Zhong said in a deep voice.

"Oh? How many people are there?" Liu Yi heard the words and quickly asked: "Who led the troops?"

"It wasn't a brigade, but Cao Jun scouts were found. The detective was afraid to reveal his whereabouts, so he didn't dare to get too close." Huang Zhong shook his head. The Shu army was good at mountain warfare. Most of the scouts sent were elite, so they relied on adaptation to the terrain. Strong, able to hide tracks, not found by enemy scouts, if it is in the plains, it is not so easy.

"Do you know the approximate range?" Liu Yi pointed to the sand table, instructing Huang Zhong to mark the position of the other party.

General scout exploration information has a general range. Knowing the location of the scout, the approximate area where the opponent's main force is located can be guessed.

"This area!" After looking at the sand table for a while, Huang Zhong pointed his finger at the approximate location: "Depending on the situation, it was indeed a meridian way!"

"Has already entered the Qinling Mountains?" Liu Yi looked at the location, a little surprised: "Send some elite scouts to investigate along this area, try not to be found, a team of three, if they are found, do it Cleaner, this road is dangerous. Scouting is unfamiliar with the road. Getting lost or falling off the cliff is common. But remember to be careful. In case of uncertainty, try to avoid the other party's scout. Make sure to find out the specific location of the other party and how many soldiers and horses. "

Liu Yi did not let multiple factions scout, many people are easily exposed. Before, I was not sure whether Cao Jun would take a sneak attack, and I did n’t know whether the other party would walk the Meridian Valley, so I took the way of spreading the net. Now that it has been Knowing that the other party is the Meridian Valley, it is naturally impossible to send so many people and increase the risk of exposure. However, the people who are investigating this time must be elite.

Huang Zhong nodded, he also means that.

"How is the fighting over Yangpingguan?" Liu Yi frowned and asked. Since Cao Jun appeared on the side of Ziwu Valley, although he hasn't met the enemy yet, it is almost time for Yangpingguan to fight. Liu Yi has been busy these days Little is known about the information from Yangpingguan on the road construction.

"Ma Chao arrived in Yangpingguan with the army the day before yesterday, and the two sides have already handed over." Huang Zhong is responsible for these matters. The news of Yangpingguan was passed yesterday.

"Ma Chao ~" Liu Yi sucks, this plot is not the same as in history, or it is completely messed up, but I don't know if there is a chance to surrender Ma Chao.

Although the character is not so good, if Ma Chao can be recruited, the role of Ma Chao can not be ignored after sending troops to Xiliang and Guanzhong. General Shenweitian ’s influence among Qiang people is very high, including Ma Chao, As long as the troops are ready to send troops here, the Qiang people in Xiliang can at least win over and directly take the lead.

"Send someone to inform Wen Chang, find a chance to hit Naxi Liangjun first!" Liu Yi laughed at Yangpingguan's position, he left a lot of backers in Yangpingguan, although he wanted to recruit more horses, but if Ma Chao too Strong, with Ma Chao's temperament, it is easy to have problems, so no matter whether he can surrender Ma Chao, he must first weaken the strength of Ma Chao's men. When there is a chance to surrender, Ma Chao entered Hanzhong, and he can't afford many waves. It's better to send Liu Zhong to Shuzhong to help Liu Bei, Liu Yi has no intention to deal with these bad things.

"Well!" Huang Zhong nodded and promised, although I don't know why Liu Yi had such an idea, but since Liu Yi said, naturally Liu Yi's consideration, not to mention Ma Chao is the enemy, Huang Zhong naturally does not need to consider for the enemy then many.

……

Ziwugu, on the other side.

Seeing the two Cao Jun slipped off the cliff because of carelessness, the soldiers around him were too late to pull, and Lieutenant General Cao Rong came to Xia Houyuan and said: "General, just after the heavy rain, the road was difficult to walk, and now it is even slippery. Rest for one day and do n’t be too late! "

Xia Houyuan rubbed the mud under his feet, shook his head and said: "I don't have much military food to carry. If it is repaired at this moment, I might get out of this meridian valley and let the soldiers accelerate their march."

"嗤 ~"

Slipped, Xia Houyuan fell and fell. Fortunately, Cao Rong's eyes quickly caught Xia Houyuan.

"General be careful!" Cao Rong pulled Xia Hou Dun up ~ EbookFREE.me ~ a little bit afraid.

Xia Houyuan nodded silently, looked at the vast abyss with a lingering fear, and quickly turned his head, daring not to look at it again, followed the generals, leaned against the mountain wall, and moved forward carefully step by step. It took more than an hour to pass.

"Let the soldiers wipe off the mud on the soles of the feet before walking away!" Xia Houyuan stopped and sat on the bluestone beside the road, took off his shoes and removed the mud from the soles on the bluestone before putting it on, looking at the mountain road in front, facing Cao Rong asked.

"Hello!" Cao Rong nodded and asked the soldiers to clean the soles of the shoes. Xia Houyuan took out the map to see that they are now within a hundred miles of the Meridian Valley. If they go forward, they must walk at least two hundred miles. I can only walk a dozen miles, and this speed has just been reached. How can I stop to rest?

Seeing that the soldiers were almost cleared, Xia Houyuan pushed the map into his arms and continued to urge the soldiers to move forward. Ps: Bookmates, I ’m Wang Buba.
