It is difficult to go to Shu and it is difficult to go to the sky. Zhou Fan can also be said to have heard this sentence all his life, and he has always disagreed, after all, in his previous life, Sichuan, Yunnan and other places were already metropolises, and there was no time when transportation was inconvenient.

And it wasn't until he walked on this Shu Road himself, walking on the Shu Road more than 1,800 years ago, that he knew how difficult this road was.

This Yizhou is already full of mountains and forests, and if there is no familiar person to guide the way, 100% will get lost here.

It is no wonder that Zhang Song, with his unforgettable memory, drew a map of Yizhou's terrain features, mountains and rivers, as well as weapons and treasury, troop deployment and other military secrets.

From Nanzheng to Chengdu, Zhou Fan and others walked for nearly half a month, and only then arrived in Chengdu County a few days before the Chinese New Year.

It's just that people are already so troublesome, and it's even more troublesome if it's to transport supplies. It is no wonder that this Shu brocade is not expensive in Yizhou, but once it is outside, it is ten times the price, and transportation is the biggest problem.

"Lord, this Shu Road is really difficult to walk, but it exhausts my bones!" Xun You said with a wry smile.

He Xun You is also the first time to come to Yizhou, but he never thought that this road would be so difficult to walk, Zhou Fan Dianwei and the others are okay, after all, they are people who practice martial arts, although they are also a little uncomfortable, but there is not much of a problem, but this can cry Xun You, a strategist, this road can make him tired enough.

"Haha, Gongda, you should take care of it more, then Chengdu is not far ahead!" Looking at Xun You's rather embarrassed appearance, Zhou Fan couldn't help laughing.

Xun You smiled bitterly, but the next moment his expression became solemn. said: "If the lord wants to use this Chengdu as a base in the future, then he has to pay attention to one thing." ”

"What?" Seeing Xun You's serious appearance, Zhou Fan also put away his previous appearance.

"If there is a war in the future. Hanzhong must be the first battlefield to bear the brunt, and at our current speed, it will take about half a month to get from Nanzheng to Chengdu. If it is replaced by escort materials, grain and grass, I am afraid that it will not last for more than a month. If the supplies can't reach the front line in time, I'm afraid there will be trouble! Xun You said in a deep voice.

Zhou Fan's brows suddenly furrowed, I have to say, this is definitely a big trouble, the three armies have not moved the grain and grass first, if there is no way to even arrive in time for the grain and grass, then this battle will not be big.

And I'm in trouble with this. It's not just himself, in history, after Liu Bei entered Shu, Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan six times and went on five Northern Expeditions, and when he was on the second Northern Expedition, he failed to return without seeing the Wei army, and the reason was that the grain and grass were not enough, if he didn't retreat, he was afraid that he would starve to death first.

Yizhou and Shu have the reputation of the land of abundance, and the land is fertile. With a large population and huge grain production, it is a well-known grain producing state. Moreover, there is one of the two largest salt pans in the Han Dynasty, and the iron ore output is also extremely high, so it can be completely self-sufficient, and Zhuge Liang will also lack food, because this Shu road is difficult to walk and transportation is inconvenient, which led to the defeat of the army.

However, Zhuge Liang is Zhuge Liang in the end, and later invented the legendary wooden ox and flowing horse, although it is impossible to act on his own as in the legend. However, it was still able to greatly speed up the transportation of grain and grass, and later several northern expeditions. I was not bothered by the reason for this grain and grass.

But Zhuge Liang has wooden oxen and flowing horses, but he doesn't. If you don't want to solve this problem, I'm afraid that this problem alone will be enough to make your head big in the future.

"Gongda said yes!" Zhou Fan nodded thoughtfully, kept this matter in mind, and then discussed it with someone to see how to solve this problem.

After a pillar of incense, Chengdu County appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

I have to say that this Chengdu is indeed one of the several big cities in the Han Dynasty at present, looking at the past from a distance, except for the city wall is shorter and dilapidated than Luoyang, the rest is not much worse than Luoyang, the eastern capital.

"Huh!?" At this moment, Zhou Fan suddenly saw a pair of centaurs appear in front of him, with about twenty people, but none of them were known by himself, led by three people, almost all of them were thirty or forty years old, each dressed in clothes made of precious Shu brocade, and was slowly coming towards this side.

"Chengdu Captain Jia Long has met the champion Hou."

"Shu County is too guarded by Ren Qi to see the champion Hou."

"Yizhou Bo Cao is engaged in Yongqian, and I have seen the champion Hou."

The three leaders saluted Zhou Fan, and then the rest of the officials behind them also saluted Zhou Fan.

Although some of them are not as official as Zhou Fandi, just like that Ren Qi, like Zhou Fan, they are all county guards, so there should be no need to salute like this.

But everyone knows that the current Yizhou Mu Zhou Yi is just a temporary generation, the champion Hou Zhoufan in front of them, that is the real Yizhou Mu, maybe when, he will take back the position of the Yizhou Mu from that Zhou Yi, this kind of real power figure, naturally dare not offend.

Even if you don't talk about this, just Zhou Fan's fierce record, coupled with his current position as General Pingxi, is not something that these people dare to be presumptuous at will.

Zhou Fan's eyebrows were raised, okay, the three people he cared about the most in Yizhou actually jumped out all at once.

This Jia Long and Ren Qi are the largest scholar clan in Yizhou, and they are also the leaders of the Yizhou scholar clan.

In history, when Liu Yan first entered Yizhou, the Yizhou scholars welcomed Liu Yan in under the leadership of these two people.

If that's the case, then that's it, the most important thing is that these two people have also rebelled, and they have rebelled against Liu Yan.

After Liu Yan entered Shu, he has always ruled Shu strictly, but this does not mean that he Liu Yan is a good official, his purpose is just to stabilize his position in Yizhou and hold all the rights in his own hands.

Naturally, Liu Yan's move undoubtedly violated the interests of the Yizhou scholars, and he, Liu Yan, also dealt with many scholars in order to achieve his goal.

Later, it caused a rebellion from the Yizhou clan, and the first to raise troops were this Jia Long and Ren Qi. Knowing that they were not Liu Yan's opponents, the two of them even did not hesitate to lure the wolf into the room, wanting to welcome Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses into Shu to deal with Liu Yan, but unfortunately they failed in the end and were finally killed by Liu Yan.

For such two representatives of the Yizhou Shi clan, Zhou Fan naturally remembers it clearly and is always on guard. (To be continued)
