Chapter 8: Hot Springs Pass (1)

The war is about logistics, Yun Zheng knows this, the total number of troops used in the battle of Qin and Zhao Changping exceeded one million, and the number of troops used by Qin was at least 600,000, not including the more numerous logistics troops, this is a classic example of relying on logistics to win.

Yun Zheng didn't dare to expect the Great Song Dynasty to support him in all aspects to fight a war, so he didn't dare to count on the logistics supply of the Great Song Dynasty local government at the beginning of the war, in that case, he might be starved to death just after he walked to Guizhou, and he could think of what it would be like to supply an army with his feet.

However, Wu Shengjun has definitely achieved one of the most famous characteristics of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, politeness, no matter what kind of treatment he encounters, he greets him with a smile, and every soldier of Wu Shengjun knows what the general said: "You can fuck his ancestors for eighteen generations in your heart, but you must show a smiling face, these bastards are not enough to succeed and more than to lose, even if we don't rely on the chaff they give us to live, at least don't let them spoil our affairs." ”

Therefore, Peng Jiu greeted Yuezhou Cangcao with a smile on his face, and saw that the gangplank from the boat to the shore was unstable, so he personally put his hands on it, and jumped twice on it in armor to make sure it was safe before bowing his body and inviting Cangcao to board the boat.

Cang Cao got on the boat, praised Peng Jiu with satisfaction, and when he saw that the general of Wu Shengjun was not in his face, he immediately collapsed, and snorted: "Your general is so majestic." ”

Peng Jiu hurriedly explained: "Back to Shangguan, my general went to the stern to inspect, and he won't be able to come back for a while, so he has the courage to greet Shangguan, and if it's rude, please Shangguan Haihan." ”

"If you don't see the chief officer, don't think that the old man will deliver the grain and grass to you."

Peng Jiu said with a bitter face: "You must not be like this, the general of my family is short-tempered, and he is a person from the sixth grade, and he is also a civil official." It's just the unlucky ones who come to dominate us rough people. ”

Cang Cao's face changed suddenly, and he immediately asked, "I don't know the general's Taifu ...... yet."

Peng Jiu said with a smile: "The surname of the general of my family is Yun Mingzheng, and the word Changsheng is a subordinate of Mr. Peng Li in Shuzhong." and Lu Jiepu is the same door, and later specialized in righteousness, and worshiped under the seat of Mr. Lu Qingyuan, the servant of Baozhang Pavilion......"

Cangcao hurriedly bowed down and said: "It turned out to be a child of a famous family, disrespectful, disrespectful, since this is the case, you can sign for this batch of grain and grass." ”

Peng Jiu used Yun Zheng's seal, and watched the porter load all the grain onto the ship, so he sent Cangcao away, and he saw it just now. When Cangcao left, he untied the sack on the back of one of the porters and took a look, and sure enough, it contained a small half bag of brown rice. Half a bag of rice bran.

Looking at Cang Cao, who was in a hurry to leave, Peng Jiu didn't plan to pursue it, and said to the master, he would take as much as he wanted, without arguing, and then slowly settle the account when he returned to the army, and it was not appropriate to cause an incident now.

"Marquis Yu. I used to be able to eat these things, but now I can't eat them. A soldier grabbed a handful of rice bran from the rice bag and showed it to Peng Jiu, looking very angry.

Peng Jiu kicked the soldier's ass and smiled: "It's only been a goddamn meal for a few days, it's good to have this thing to eat before, but these things are not eaten by us, clean them and feed them to the horses." The food we brought from Shuzhong was enough to eat, and Cui joined the army and bought a lot of white rice, which was enough for us to eat in Guizhou, but after entering Guizhou, hum. If you want to eat, you have to rely on the knives in our hands. ”

The soldier said with a smile: "Let's enter Guizhou, can we loot?" Without military rations, if you don't let the looting continue, you won't be able to live. ”

Peng Jiu gritted his teeth and said: "The general said, it's no problem to rob Nong Zhigao, you can do whatever you want, just treat them as bandits, but who dares to rob the people, you know the military law of our Wusheng Army, then there is no one to talk about, Xiaolin wants to pass the trick and get through, it will be difficult." ”

A group of people squatted together and thought about how to get more good things without violating the military law, such discussions were common in the Wusheng army, after Yun Zheng established the military law, he allowed the sergeants to take advantage of the loopholes, and they really found a lot of loopholes in the process of suppressing bandits, and made a lot of money and food by relying on these loopholes.

This is a loophole deliberately left by Yun Zheng, as long as there are some innocuous loopholes to drill, no one will be desperate to violate military law, first, to maintain the majesty of military law, and second, to have a little favor in the face of severe military law.

The fleet started, the Xiangshui in July is a good time to go upstream, these flat-bottomed boats are driven by strong winds to quickly go south along the Xiangshui, most of the rivers of the Great Song Dynasty are flowing eastward, only the Xiangshui is flowing north.

It is precisely because of this river flowing to the north that the central government can use this ribbon to tightly bind the far south, the most upstream Ling Canal has been dug and navigable since the Qin Dynasty, and it was not really completed until the end of the Han Dynasty, and he is the most important means to connect the southwest like the Meiling Ancient Road.

In order to maintain the combat strength of the sergeant, as long as the banks of the big river are suitable for marching, he will order the whole army to disembark and quickly pass along the river bank, which can reduce the burden of the big boat going up the river, and secondly, it can also make the war horse adapt to the climate in the south.

When his army arrived in Quanzhou, he once again heard a bad news, the Guangnan West Road Governor Chen Office was afraid that Di Qing would win the battle alone, and led 8,000 foot soldiers to go out lightly because of the lack of military discipline. There will be no authority, the army will be defeated in Jinchengyi, and more than 2,000 teachers will be lost.

After Nong Zhigao defeated Chen's army, he began a new round of retreat, he decisively gave up the rich Guizhou, Liuzhou once again shrank the force to Yongzhou generation, Guangxi Jingluo pacified Yu Jing, Jinghu South Road, Jiangnan West Road pacified Sun Wei and others After learning the lessons of Chen, they slowly advanced, recovering Guizhou and Liuzhou one by one, and pushed the battle line forward to Yongzhou to wait for Di Qing's arrival.

Yun Zheng came to Pennsylvania at such a stormy moment, it was already October, and he lost more than four months on the road.

Without waiting for Yun Zheng to go to Guangxi to appease Yu Jing to report the documents, he received Yu Jing's request that Wu Shengjun stick to the Hot Spring Pass and intercept the Huang Shimi Department who withdrew from Yizhou to Yongzhou, and did not have to go to Penzhou to report, Yun Zheng was very happy to get this order, and quickly returned to Liuzhou Hot Spring Pass from Pennsylvania. If the thief army that plundered Yizhou can be killed, one of Nong Zhigao's arms will be cut off alive, and in Yun Zheng's opinion, the necessity of attacking Huang Shimi is far higher than that of Nong Zhigao.

Huang Shimi was frustrated in the field, and like Zhang Yuan of Western Xia, he angrily took refuge in Nong Zhigao, gritting his teeth and wanting to "take revenge" on his fellow clansmen. In Nong Zhigao's invincible battles, he can always find the shadow of Huang Shimi, and the civil strife in Yongzhou was caused by this person.

It was under the instigation and planning of Huang Shimi and his brother Huang Wei that Nong Zhigao brazenly raised troops and did not attack Vietnam, which had a grudge against him to kill his father, but invaded the Great Song Dynasty with all his troops, causing the erosion of the southwest. At least 150,000 people died as a result of this catastrophe.

Huang Shimi is a native of Guangzhou, but it is precisely under the vanity of his own return to his hometown that Huang Shimi provoked Nong Zhigao to attack Guangzhou, fortunately, Guangzhou finally defended, otherwise, whether Huang Shimi, like Zhang Yuan, will also come to a scandalous drama of "Guangzhou Revenge Poetry", it is unknown.

Yun Zheng hates this kind of person the most, but on the contrary, he doesn't have much hatred for Nong Zhigao.

Hot Spring Pass, an inconspicuous small pass, the city wall is only one zhang high, in the last invasion of Nong Zhigao has been destroyed seventy-seven eighty-eight, when Yun Zheng settled in, just the white bones cleaned out, there are no less than three hundred, from the clothes on the white bones, most of them are women and children, of which more than seventy white bones are just young children.

The southern heat is scorching, and a year is enough time for the corpses exposed in the wind and rain to turn into white bones, and the small hot spring pass, the surrounding mountains and wilderness are full of red-eyed wild dogs and crows flying in the sky.

Yun Zheng and Zhou Tong stood on the wall of Hot Spring Pass, with a cloud-like crow croaking overhead, as if they were celebrating that there was human flesh to eat.

"Yes, the hot spring pass happens to be on the main road from Yizhou to Yongzhou, the terrain is flat, the mountains on both sides are not high, but steep, the people who chose this place to establish the city pass are very discerning. The hot springs have a momentum that is not open. Yun Zheng is very satisfied with Hot Spring Pass, and his cavalry can try out new tactics here.

Zhou Tong said with a gloomy face: "It is indeed a good place, Huang Shimi is a big clan here, the corpses of 20,000 natives are still not covered in the open space here, and wild dogs and crows have food." ”

"That vacant land should be good land, you see, the wild rice is also growing well, but no one harvests, this land is to be served by people to grow good food, if it is possible in the future, the imperial court should migrate the people here to become, Guanzhong, the land of Henan has been cultivated for thousands of years, the land is barren, and it is better to plant a gourd and harvest two scoops."

Zhou Tong jumped off the high wall and said to Yun Zheng hatefully: "Let's get more corpses to make the land here more fertile, can you eat the food grown here?" ”

Yun Zheng laughed and said: "Eat, why don't you eat, as long as it's Hulu, I'll have no problem eating it raw." ”

Su Xun commanded the army and began to rest the city wall, some places needed to be reinforced, some places needed to be demolished, and some places needed to erect thick wooden piles.

The characteristics of the weapons of the Wusheng army doomed them not to need a strong city, but to need a place that could be heavily defended and then able to attack quickly, and Hot Spring Pass was very suitable in that regard. As long as you take a little rest, it is an excellent battlefield for the Wusheng army......
