Chapter 159: Solicitation
Liu Yu's speculation is also inaccurate many times, the Yuan army that fled all the way has retreated into Jiangzhou at this moment, burning and looting all the way along the way, making the people unhappy and the people fleeing one after another, in order to maintain the morale of the army, military discipline can only be ignored. Thinking of the smoke everywhere in Chizhou not long ago, Boyan only felt helpless, but after entering Jiangzhou, he began to rectify military discipline, after all, it is not the grass valley before, and he will come back in the future.
"Chizhou has been said by Er, and now this place is under the rule of my Great Yuan, and they must restrain their subordinates, and they must not cause more incidents, and if there is another robbery of the people, it will not be spared." Boyan stood at the ferry outside Jiangzhou City, and said to Wenwu who came to see him off, his eyes stayed on Ah Shu and the others a little more, and his unruly face was full of indifferent looks, and people's hearts were still not as good as before, Boyan sighed in his heart.
The grassland has always been respected by the strong, and there is no difference between life and death when victory, and once defeated, there is naturally no prestige at all. What's more, he was defeated so badly that even the festival given by the Great Khan himself became the spoils of the Song people, which made Boyan himself feel that he was no longer tough to speak, not to mention that Ah Shu and Ah Tinghan were still one of the few team commanders who were still in the establishment.
As a result, he was ready to go to Beijing in person to explain to the Great Khan what kind of disposal he would get, with Boyan's understanding of the male lord in the capital, he knew that the most important thing at this moment was to have the courage to take responsibility, not to shirk, let alone deceive, tens of thousands of teachers were lost, and several important ministers were broken, but there was no one
Fortunately, the Song people did not have the strength to expand the results of the war, they only chased to the border of Jiankang Mansion and stopped, Jiangzhou at their feet, Huang and Qi on the opposite bank, and Ezhou, an important town in the upper reaches, were still in their hands. What to do next is no longer up to these people to decide, and it is up to the Great Khan to decide.
The newly established Jinghu Province was originally handed over to Ali Hague, but now that Ah Shu has been added, several people with comparable qualifications have come in, and Boyan is a little uneasy. I had the heart to say a few more words of warning, but in the end I didn't say anything, and led my own soldiers to the warship leaning on the dock, this ship was just an ordinary size, far inferior to his own big boat, but where did he care about so much.
Across the river is Qizhou, the skirmish that took place there did not put it in his heart, Xia Gui, it was just a defeated soldier who lost his courage, Boyan unconsciously turned his eyes to the downstream direction, the big city that made him fall here, like a thorn in his heart, bloody and painful.
"Wait, I'll be back." Boyan said to himself in his heart, although he still hasn't been able to fully figure out how he was defeated, on the surface, the only thing that can be a reason is the word "light enemy", the southerners are still a little bloody, not as weak as rumored, but the hands in Boyan's sleeves have been clenched into fists next time.
In the city of Ezhou, Xingjinghu Provincial Affairs and Pingzhang Ali Hague looked at the captured Song Colonel under the hall for a long time, and after repeatedly confirming that what he said was true, he waved his hand and let him take him down. glanced at Zhang Hongfan, who was standing on the side, and both of them had an expression of disbelief.
The marshal Boyan, who led nearly 200,000 troops down the river, was defeated under Jiankang City? Not only that, but it seems that it is still a rare defeat, and they actually heard the news from the capture of the enemy army, this person was captured in Huangzhou, he claimed to be Xia Gui's subordinate, the long-legged general? Ali Hague still remembers the situation at the time of the Battle of Ezhou vividly.
Although it has not yet been confirmed by his own people, Ali Hague has actually understood that this should be the truth, no wonder the Song people on Dongting Lake dared to come to the aid of the whole division, and the fighting spirit seems to be quite high, no wonder Xia Gui's fearless man dared to go out of Huangzhou, only in this way can this qiē be explained.
"Zhong Chou, what do you think, should I send troops to meet the commander?" Ali Hague stood up, he returned to Ezhou only a few days, bad news came one after another, if it is really as the Song people said, where the Boyan department went, what the Song people will do next, it is difficult to predict.
"Pingzhang, the Song people have invaded Huangzhou, and it is only a stone's throw away from here, and my subordinates think that it is the place where we should go. As for the big handsome, let's wait for the news, the land route is too far, and the arrival of the messenger is estimated to be in the next few days. Zhang Hongfan shook his head and said.
"A certain family also has this intention, but at the end of the bottom is a little uneasy, when the army comes out, the food has already been transported, if it is really defeated, there must not be much left. In this way, if you take someone to Huangzhou, you will lead the navy to bring grain and grass down the river, and you will be able to meet you halfway if you can't keep it. ”
"Your brother is in the Song people's place, is it possible to convince him to work for us? If he wishes, he may do so as you bestow on all households. Zhang Hongfan nodded and was about to go out after receiving the military order, but just as he turned around, Ali Hague suddenly stopped him behind him.
Zhang Hongfan thought of the so-called clan brother who was a few years older than him, and he didn't know where he came from to be so magnificent, so he insisted on going to the Song people, and he was extremely loyal, looking at Ali Hague's expectant eyes, Zhang Hongfan smiled bitterly and shook his head, Ali Hague was not stunned when he saw this, and raised his hand to let him go.
Huangzhou is only a river away from here, and it is only a matter of day and night to send troops to the past, Ali Hague is not worried about Xia Gui, he thinks that this is Xia Gui's spontaneous action, or whether the Song people have any other plans, after all, they are the victorious division at the moment, but this has to be guarded against.
Although the battlefield outside Jiankang City has been almost cleaned, if you want to restore the prosperous scene before the war, it is not something that can be seen in the short term, except for the wharf under Yanziji, which is vaguely a bit busy in the southeast, and the rest of the place is empty like a wild land.
Liu Yu stood on a dirt slope with a calm face, his own soldiers led the horses to follow behind, in front of the dirt slope, hundreds of shirtless men wearing only short brown were sweating and sweating, according to the plan he made, these people had to practice for more than five hours every day, and it was already high intensity in this time and space.
The training subjects are also very varied, from physical fitness, fighting, bow and arrow, equestrian, water-based, formation, etc., and the content is also different from the ones they were originally familiar with, all of which were summarized and formulated by Liu Yu based on some experience in later generations, such as the one in front of me that is a little incomprehensible.
More than 500 people in a group of 10 people, each carrying a long piece of wood, for a competition, they will carry the wood to run a distance of hundreds of steps, to reach the end of the first to win, the top ten will be rewarded, the last ten will be punished, therefore, at the beginning, each group of people and horses on you fight for each other.
In addition to exercising the physical fitness of the sergeants, the main thing is to strengthen their sense of cooperation, if the ten hearts are not aligned, the speed will not be able to get up, and the distance is so far, how to reasonably distribute the body, it is also a very test of leadership ability, only by working together can the test be finally completed.
"Qingyun, you've been watching it for so long, can you see any doorways?" Liu Yu withdrew his gaze from the front and threw himself at a man who looked like a gentleman beside him, although he was dressed ordinarily, he was already famous in Jiankang City, and this person was the storyteller's "Ping Hate Sheng".
"The student can't say it well, but he thinks that this kind of body forging technique is quite meaningful, and there is no record in the military book, could it be that it was created by Taishou?" It was the first time for Zhang Qingyun to look at the training of the first army in this way, although the number of people in front of him was not much, but they were all strong and majestic, and they could be called elite, but this Taishou still didn't seem to be very satisfied, and often shook his head.
"Mojier, a strong army is not just trained, you have nothing to do now, the school has been restored, do you still want to take the meritorious test?" This person said that he personally ordered the story, mainly because his family was poor, and his talent was not outstanding, but he was conscientious and down-to-earth.
"The student knows that he is stupid, he has not achieved anything after studying for a long time, and he has long extinguished the hope of fame, and besides, now that the imperial court is in an eventful autumn, I don't know what day the next subject will be." At the mention of this, Zhang Qingyun sighed, he is self-aware, but his parents have instilled his fame in reading since he was a child, if he doesn't do this, what else can he do?
Hearing his words, Liu Yu thought that the last time the imperial court opened a branch was the previous year's Xianchun ten years, according to three years, the next time will not be carried out until the third year of Deyou, but three years of Deyou? Liu Yu sighed secretly, it was an era name that did not exist, and these readers still understood it very well, and they all knew the current situation.
"Who else is in your family?" Of course, Liu Yu didn't call him for no reason, most of the students in Fuxue had already gone back to study, and those who didn't go had left Jiankang City, and Liu Yu also inadvertently thought of him as a person.
"My father passed away a few years ago, and now only my mother is still alive in the family, the eldest son, and there is a younger brother below, who is only eight years old." Zhang Qingyun honestly told the situation at home, Liu Yu nodded, consistent with what he had ordered someone to inquire in advance, this person was not lying.
"It's not easy at your family, if the official asks you to follow the official from now on, are you willing, Ling Ci may agree?" Liu Yu said his intention to solicit, it's good if he is not an only son, otherwise it will be really difficult for him to open this mouth.
"Meng Taishou will not give up, what does a certain Fu say, there is no problem on my mother's side, but a certain is just a weak scholar, I don't know how to help Taishou?" Zhang Qingyun looked very calm, Liu Yu had already agreed when he heard his tone, but his face was not happy or angry, and he glanced at this person again.
"Without him, I teach them to read and write in my spare time, and usually help me deal with some paperwork." Liu Yu pointed to the military men in front of him and said, Zhang Qingyun broke the calm appearance, and said "ah" in surprise, he didn't expect that his main errand would be this.
"You haven't married yet, have you seen the little lady who is broadcasting at the same time as you, what do you think of her? If you are interested, you are willing to protect this matchmaker for you, and go to Yuan Tong to judge that she has been accepted by Yuan Niangzi as a righteous daughter, and she is already free. Without waiting for Zhang Qingyun to react, Liu Yu smiled and threw out a question, which made his face red.
