Chapter 63, heavy rain blocking the army
However, it was said that Zuzhao's army advanced all the way to Silla. Although there would be some symbolic resistance on the way, Wang Quan, the army of Silla, was not the opponent of Zuzhao's army and was defeated one after another. Moreover, the queen Quan Zhiyu, led the way, and the march was very smooth.
This Silla environment is a dangerous place, and there are many fortresses that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the Silla army does not know how to use, which can't help but sigh that Zu Zhao and the generals. If they make full use of their terrain advantages, although they can't resist the pace of Zu Zhao's army in the end, Zu Zhao's army will be hit hard. , the march will not be so smooth.
Listening to the talks of the generals, Quan Zhiyu also sighed. Silla is just a small country with little population and no good life. Compared with the people of the Han Dynasty, the people of Silla do live in deep trouble. However, Silla people have always had the ability to be self-relied and can always live, although life is very difficult.
Since Yu became king, she has wholeheartedly wanted to change the living standards of the people of the whole country, so she has been running around and seeking cooperation everywhere. Unfortunately, not many people are willing to cooperate with Silla. In their opinion, Silla has nothing worth taking advantage of.
However, Quan Zhiyu never gave up. Later, she came to Liaodong. When she saw Zu Zhao's production base, she was stunned. The life of the people here was the life she wanted to see. At that time, she secretly made up her mind that she must learn a little craftsmanship and give it to the people of Silla. If she could get Zu Zhao's Help, he is willing to give everything, including his second half of his life. In fact, she did the same, and Zu Zhao finally agreed to help her.
Now listening to the discussion of the generals of Zu Zhao, she naturally sighs. Seeing the depression on Quan Zhiyu's face, Zu Zhao couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you? You look very unhappy."
Quan Zhiyu shook his head and said, "I'm not happy. I'm just a little melancholy and emotional when I hear the discussion of your generals. There's nothing else."
Zu Zhao was puzzled and asked, "What are you sighing about?" Let me help you analyze it."
Quan Zhiyu said, "You said that I have many dangerous terrain in Silla, but I don't know how to use it. In fact, you should know that we don't have much population in Silla. The army has fewer words, and there are fewer generals who are good at fighting. Compared with these people under you, I can believe that no general in the Silla army is your opponent.
Zuzuo understood her worries and comforted her, "Don't worry, we sent troops this time not to fight for anything or kill, but to help your people. As for the resistance of the army, isn't most of you persuaded to quit? We didn't start killing. I'm not the kind of bloodthirsty killer, right? When the army arrives in your city, I will definitely let them keep orders and won't let them mess around. Now you can rest assured.
Quan Zhiyu is very grateful. At this moment, there are only her and Zu Zhao. The other generals have retreated and rested. She couldn't help holding Zu Zhao and said, "I know your army will not mess around. I just sigh that Silla does not have a decent army. If you meet such a strong army to occupy Silla, I We have no resistance at all. Fortunately, Silla is a small country, and other countries don't want to invade us.
Zu Zhao said, "You can't say your own country. Although Silla's land area is not large, it is rich in natural resources. For example, your divine tree fruits and your cows are not available in other countries. These are your advantages, as long as they develop When you get up, the country will be a developed country, just like Singapore and so on. The country is not small, but they are famous and rich all over the world.
Where is Singapore? Is it the territory of your big man?" All the questions are puzzled. Zu Zhao couldn't help laughing and traveled again. Who knows Singapore in this era? Besides, even if he knows such a place, it is not called Singapore at this time. So he said, "Well, it's a small independent place. In short, they are very rich, and you Silla can do the same. Didn't I promise you to build a production base here, and then your people will benefit.
Quan Zhiyu still said worriedly, "If Silla really becomes rich, will these northern countries, especially Xianbei, Goguryeo and other tribes, always come to our Silla to kill and set fire?"
Zuzuo hugged her and said, "Don't worry, I promised you to send an army to stay in your country, just to protect your country. You will be fine. I promised you that I would help you get things done. He couldn't help saying secretly in his heart that my heart is the world. If you can't even guard a little Silla, how can you fight the country in the future? How can you guard the territory? There is a way that it's easy to defend the country. I can't defeat the country by myself. As for the future generations will defeat the country without hesitation. Well, there is nothing to say. There is a saying that it is the general trend of the world. If it is divided for a long time, it will be combined.
When Quan Zhiyu heard Zu Zhao's words, she was very moved and choked. It seemed that she had returned to her own country now, and there were indeed more complicated emotions in her heart. At this moment, it is raining outside. It has been raining heavily for nearly half a month, and the troops have to camp on the ground.
Listening to the sound of rain outside, Zu Zhao is not in his heart. If it goes on like this, many soldiers will be afraid that they will not be able to stand it. Such heavy rain will make soldiers change or lazy, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly discounted.
"I don't know when the rain will last. This should have been the dry season. Why does it rain so heavily in Silla? Zu Zhao couldn't help asking.
Quan Zhiyu said, "I don't know. It's like this every year. Anyway, I remember that there is no lack of rain here. What should we do if the army is trapped here now?
Zu Zhao said, "I think the rain is always non-stop. Next, I really have to think of a way. It's not a way to wait like this, but if you march in the rain, it's too dangerous. Soldiers will not be able to stand it, and the carriages and horses will not be useful at all." Zu Zhao couldn't help sighing, which was their most entangled problem now.
"Thank you for helping me." Quan Zhiyu suddenly said, holding Zu Zhao's arm tighter.
Zu Zhao felt that the atmosphere was a little depressing and joked with her and said, "Really? Then if you want to thank me, you have to have a baby with me. I want it now, okay?"
Quan Zhiyu glanced at Zu Zhao, blushed and nodded slightly. Zu Zhao definitely wanted to laugh, hugged Quan Zhiyu and said, "Okay, let's go to bed." With that, he took her into the bed in the camp.
The two still slept with their clothes, and Quan Zhiyu naturally asked whether to take off their clothes. In order to prevent himself from being out of control, Zu Zhao naturally did not required to do so, and he felt that there was nothing wrong with sleeping in clothes, but it affected women from time to time, so he did not know.
After sleeping like this, nothing happened between the two, but Quan Zhiyu was thinking that he might be able to give birth to a child for Zu Zhao. In the future, he must marry Zu Zhao and let him become the king of Silla, so that he would treat Silla wholeheartedly and find a good support.
The next day, Zu Zhao summoned the generals in the camp to discuss the march and ask everyone if they had any good suggestions.
"General, the humidity here is so heavy that many soldiers can't stand it anymore, especially the older soldiers who have been injured before, and their physical condition has begun to have problems. The most serious ones can hardly even hold weapons, let alone kill the enemy." Zhang Yuan said.
Zu Zhao tightened, frowned and asked, "Is there such a thing?" So what should I do? If it goes on like this, you have to get sick if you are not sick.
Zhao Meng said, "At the beginning, I chose to camp here because I was looking at the terrain here, which could be attacked, retreated and defended. But who would have expected that this camp would be well? It began to rain all the time, and I didn't expect that this place would be so humid. General, it really can't go on like this. I think it's better for us to brave the rain and wait for something. A large army of cities live in the city, so that they can change their outlook.
Su De immediately shook his head and said, "This won't work." He took out a map of Silla, pointed to it for everyone to see, and said, "Look, this is the way we are going to move forward. After two cities, we will arrive in Kyoto in Silla. However, the road is full of mountains, and now the road is wet and slippery, which is easy to cause accidents. Moreover, Silla is not as big as the Han Dynasty. Their largest city, Kyoto, is not as big as our county. How can it accommodate so many of our troops to live in it?
"Then what should we do? It's not a good idea to wait like this. Zhang Yuan said that the soldiers have appeared unable to hold knives and guns. If they wait any longer, half of them will have no combat effectiveness. At that time, they will deal with the combined forces of Silla and Goguryeo, which may not be so easy to deal with. Zu Zhao said worriedly.
Su De nodded and said, "The general's worry is not unreasonable, but I have inspected it. Less than one out of 100 people in the army who have such a situation are all older soldiers who have been seriously injured before. They will be like this until they are invaded by moisture. When the weather improves, they It's all right, and I have sent military doctors to take care of them with all their strength. There won't be any big problems. I have been observing the sky these days. I dare to assert that in less than three days, the weather will definitely fall in love. When the road is dry, we can drive directly in.
Zu Zhao couldn't help sighing in his heart, looked at Su De in surprise, and said to himself, "Will you still watch the sky at night? It seems that Zhuge Wolong and Feng Chu are not the only people who can watch the sky at night. There are such people in their own army now. However, looking at the weather outside, it is exactly the same as half a month ago. There is no change at all. There is always heavy rain and light rain, and there is no intention of stopping at all.
Zhao Meng said, "Military, if it is still not sunny three days after tomorrow, what should we do then? Will you continue to wait here?"
Su De smiled and said, "General Zhao, don't worry. I'm sure we will see the long-lost sun in three days. If you don't believe it, why don's stop us?"
"How to bet?" Zhao Meng asked puzzledly. Naturally, he didn't know what the military division meant. He actually wanted to bet on himself. What did he bet on? It wouldn't be as simple as gambling on people's head. Others are also speculating about what the military division is going to bet on with Zhao Meng.
Su De smiled and said, "Let's bet on two jars of horse breast wine. After the triumph of the army, if you lose, you buy two jars for me. If I lose, I will buy two jars for me, is it feasible?"
Everyone didn't listen and couldn't help laughing, which made everyone nervous. It turned out that they were betting on the horse milk wine produced by Zu Zhao. At this time, Zu Zhao couldn't help interrupting: "Now the cows are controlled by the new king of Silla. Not to mention horse milk wine, I can't even drink a mouthful of milk now. Why don't I make a bet?
Su De asked, "General, how do you want to bet? Will it be sunny or will it still rain?
Zuo Zhao said, "You have already bet on this, and I naturally hope that the weather will be sunny. What I want to bet is that which of you wins, that is, a perverted bet on whether the weather will be sunny or rainy, but we don't bet on the weather.
Other people find it interesting and want to participate in it. The gambling method is the same as Zu Zhao thought. Some bet that Su De will win, and some bet that Zhao Meng will win. In consideration of winning or losing, they will naturally abandon the subjective idea of hoping that the weather will become sunny. In the end, the majority of people supported Zhao Meng, and even Zu Zhao gambled that Zhao Meng would win. Of course, he hopes that the weather will be sunny, but it has been like this during this period, but Su De said that it will be sunny in three days, which is not reliable.
Besides, the group also wants to see if Su De is really talented. Zu Zhao has seen his tactical talent, but he hasn't seen it yet, so he still thinks that Zhao Meng has a better chance to win, and this is conducive to stimulating Su De. If it is true at that time If he wins, he will be very happy as a wine lover. Anyway, this bet is for happiness.
