Chapter 1324: Pre-War Mission

Once the war is opened, up to the three princes and nine kings of the imperial court, down to the three old pavilion chiefs in the countryside, it will become a war machine, a large number of civil and material resources will be mobilized to the front line, and the gallop road has not yet been repaired, and even if there is a gallop road, if you want to get from here to Jixian in Guangyang County, it will take at least more than a month, although there are cavalry, but it is only a small part, not to mention, even if the army arrives in Guangyang County, there are still waiting for the grain and grass equipment in the rear to be delivered.

If the battle broke out suddenly, then there would be a time limit for the conscription of the rear to escort the grain, grass and equipment, and if it could not be delivered on time, then the entire transport team would be beheaded, and many of the leaders of the uprising later chose to fight to the death for this reason, otherwise what awaited them would be beheaded.

Ye Shikai thinks that this system is a bit too cruel, but from the perspective of war, if the grain and grass are not delivered, hundreds of thousands of troops will collapse, and if they are defeated, then the wolf clan will drive straight into the Central Plains.

"Alright, let's go. After the two had finished the barbecue, they took their weapons and went to the camp.

"Lord Shangguan, Chief Ye Shi, Lord Han is waiting for you, hurry up and go in. ”

"Okay. ”

The two entered the camp, Ye Shikai was only a long man after all, so he naturally stood behind.

"Brother Ye, come here. What he didn't expect was that Han Hao actually stood up, walked to Ye Shikai's side in person in front of everyone, took his hand and stood forward, and let Ye Shikai and several hundred generals stand at the front.

"Okay, everyone is here, and the official will announce the news. Han Hao sat back on the main seat and looked at the generals in the audience.

"You should all know that the northern wolf clan is eyeing my Great Qin, according to the news of the county guard, the wolf clan has gathered 200,000 troops, distributed along the line of the Great Wall, and may invade at any time, and most of them are lightly armed cavalry, and they are mobile quickly, so"

"My lord, do you want us to go to the front line to fight? Before Han Hao finished speaking, a hundred generals asked eagerly, everyone was gearing up, it seemed that they were very interested in going to the front line, they belonged to the county garrison, and the task they were usually responsible for was to prevent the attack of some robbers and bandits, compared to the front-line garrison guards, they had fewer opportunities to make contributions, so they had fewer opportunities to appreciate, so when they heard that there was a war, they were eager to try.

"Ahem, it seems that you all want to go to the battlefield and show your skills, this idea is good, but our mission is not to go to the front line to fight. Han Hao coughed lightly, and everyone immediately quieted down.

"After all, we belong to the county garrison, the main purpose is to maintain law and order, compared to everyone knows, although this news came from the county guard, but the people have already circulated, and even some rumors have appeared, which make people panic, talk about the color change, and even the activities of the rogue are becoming more and more rampant. ”

"My lord, our mission is to exterminate the bandits. Shangguan Jian asked.

"Brother Shangguan has asked the point, it is our duty to exterminate the bandits and maintain law and order, but this time the task is more than that. Han Hao saw that everyone was talking about it, and his face was full of doubts, so he set his eyes on Ye Shikai.

"Brother Ye has just arrived, can you guess this task. ”

"The subordinates are stupid, please make it clear. Although Ye Shikai already had the answer in his heart, he didn't say it directly, first, he didn't want to be too high-profile, and second, he didn't want to do this guessed task in his heart.

"In that case, I'll ask myself. Han Hao took out a bamboo slip from the table and slowly opened it.

"The northern wolf clan is ready to move, disturbing our Daqin border, there are many troops, intending to start the war, Your Majesty has issued an order, counties and counties around the country to step up the collection of military rations, build ordnance, and send it to the front line, so that the Heyang County garrison supervises the escort team to prevent delaying the date and delaying the fighters. Han Hao put down the bamboo slip in his hand, "You all heard it, this is the order that the county guard just sent today, I believe everyone understands our mission." ”

"My lord, is it just for us to escort the grain and grass with those pavilion chiefs, ranks, and sifu? Hearing this order, everyone was obviously dissatisfied, although they were county garrisons, but their combat power was not weak, but Hanoi County was located in the Central Plains, thousands of miles away, so it seemed relatively peaceful, but they were by no means sergeants who were greedy for comfort, greedy for life and afraid of death.

"Ahem, it's not for you to escort grain and grass, but for you to supervise the escort team, if the grain and grass can't be arrived in time, then the front line will lose fighters, or even collapse. Han Hao kept comforting everyone, he couldn't go to the front line to fight, and he asked them to send grain and grass, which was indeed a little unwilling.

If Ye Shikai hadn't participated in the Dragon's Tooth before, he might not understand why they were so active on the battlefield, but defending the country and protecting the family was part of the reason, the background of that era was different, and it was also a big reason, many of the sergeants who enlisted in the army were slaves before, or they were people from humble backgrounds, enlisting in the army to kill the enemy, and obtaining military merit was the only way for them to be promoted, if they could survive from the battlefield, they would be able to "turn over".

"What's more, who said that you don't have the opportunity to go to the battlefield, the war is changing rapidly, and when you escort the grain and grass to the front line, if the war is tight, aren't you a reserve army? Han Hao continued to explain, everyone calmed down, if there is a big war, it is as important to replenish the soldiers, if these well-trained sergeants get there, it is very likely that they will go up directly to replenish the troops, this kind of thing, it is not for nothing when the Six Kingdoms were attacked before, but if this situation is encountered, it means that it is really a big war, a bloody war.

"What's going on in your mind. After leaving the camp, Shangguan Jian saw that Ye Shikai was preoccupied, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is it because you can't kill the enemy, so you're lost." ”

"No, I'm just thinking that going to war is not beneficial to either side, and once the two sides are equal in strength and the war is deadlocked, there is no telling when this war will end. ”

"Your brain is not broken, if you don't fight, you are still just a chief, you can't get military merits, what's the point of you coming to the army. Shangguan Jian seemed to have heard something very funny, turned around and pointed to the officer behind him, "Look at them, they all can't wait to go to the front line immediately, if they are lucky, they become a thousand commanders or generals, and the family will be prosperous and wealthy." ”

"Alright, let's not talk about it for now, let's go back to camp. "Ye Shikai doesn't want to continue arguing with Shangguan Jian, he is not a person from this era, he has no power to comment on this era, today's training is over, and they should also return to Shangshui Village.
