Chapter 304: Pre-War Mobilization

Li Yang discussed with Li Hu, Fu Zhu and others for nearly two hours before it ended, and everyone saluted Li Yang and left the meeting hall in groups.

The next day, the sky was bright!

In the large camp outside Xiangping City, 50,000 soldiers who were ready to go had already assembled in the barracks.

Li Yang and the neatly dressed people boarded the simple high platform set up in advance, and Li Yang asked Li Hu, Han Bao, Fu Zhu, Jia Xu, Zhang Liao, Han Dang, Xu Huang, Zang Ba, Lu Dai, Tian Feng, Cheng Yu, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Dian Wei, Chi Mei, Wang Liang and others to line up on the high platform.

Li Yang was not in a hurry to speak, he wanted the soldiers in the audience to look at the people standing on the stage, so that they could take a good look at the glory that everyone on the stage had obtained today.

About half an hour later, Li Yang stretched out his finger and pointed at Fu Zhi and the others, and said loudly to the sergeants in the audience: "Huang Zhong was once a junior official in the Nanyang army, and Zhao Yun and Dian Wei were both from Bai. But as the old saying goes, heroes don't ask where they come from, they are now the most capable generals in Youzhou, and they have won respect, glory and official titles for themselves with the weapons in their hands. ”

Li Yang deliberately paused for about thirty seconds, and he left some time for the soldiers in the audience to slowly digest what he said.

Li Yang continued to say loudly: "Tell me loudly, do you want to be like them to become an official and become a knight and be crowned a wife and a son?" ”

As soon as Li Yang's words fell, a tsunami-like roar suddenly sounded from the audience: "Think!" Think! Think! ”

"Good! Youzhou men should be like this. ”

Li Yang nodded with a satisfied face, and said: "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, now, pick up the weapons in your hands, plow more land for Youzhou, fight for higher officials and more beautiful women for yourself, and plow more fertile land for your family, I, Li Yang, will put my words here today, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can get everything you want, including official positions, titles, women, and land." ”

Li Yang drew the knife in his hand, raised the steel knife high above his head, and said loudly: "Pick up your weapons, for Youzhou, for yourself, for your family, go forward, bravely kill the enemy, kill Yuan Shao, and help the Han family!" ”

"Kill Yuan Shao, Kuang Fu Han Room!" The audience was full of emotion, and the soldiers of Youzhou hated to go to the battlefield immediately to make contributions.

The mobilization meeting went extremely smoothly, and Li Yang successfully aroused the soldiers' sense of war, which was also the result of constantly brainwashing the soldiers on weekdays.

The soldiers of Youzhou are happy when they hear the war, everyone is good at fighting, everyone is warlike, and everyone dares to fight!

The official in charge of military discipline and rewards and punishments stepped forward, unfolded the silk book, and read it aloud: "Anxiang Hou promulgated the following military orders: 1: Those who disobey the order will be beheaded!" Second, the escapees are killed! Third, rescue the unfavorable! Fourth, the rape of the people and the women of the people is beheaded......"

There are a total of fifteen military orders and fifteen cuts.

After the military order was issued, there was no dissatisfaction among the soldiers, which shows how strict the military discipline of the Youzhou army is.

Although the military discipline in Youzhou is very strict, but the reward system of the Youzhou army is also very attractive, as long as you make meritorious service, whether it is a big soldier or a general, you will get the corresponding official position, title and land, on this issue, Li Yang has always been very generous, so the soldiers did not show any dissatisfaction, everyone felt that the soldier should be like this, which is also thanks to the results of daily brainwashing.

Everything that should be done has been done, and all the forms that should be done have been completed, so Li Yang signaled that Han Bao could lead the troops to set off.

Han Bao led his generals to salute Li Yang, then walked off the high platform, turned over his horse, and led an army of 50,000 people to slowly walk out of the gate and march in the direction of Guandu.

50,000 Youzhou soldiers wore dogskin hats, coats and helmets to keep out the cold, wore thick leather coats, stepped on thick leather boots, carried stuffed and bulging marching backpacks weighing forty or fifty pounds on their shoulders, and held their respective weapons in their hands.

Everyone waved goodbye to the soldiers and sent them the most sincere blessings, and the people of Youzhou standing on both sides of the road were saying all kinds of blessings.

Such as:

"Soldiers, kill more enemies!"

"Children, I wish you a speedy victory, we are waiting for the news of your victory!"

And the relatives of the soldiers said more: "Pay attention to safety, come back alive!" Some of the more enthusiastic people would even stuff a few eggs or steamed buns into the hands of the soldiers.

When some soldiers saw the army passing by them, they would stop and take the initiative to salute them, and they could only express their respect and admiration for the soldiers who were about to face the war, and they deserved such high respect for the soldiers who went to the battlefield to shed their blood.

This is a glorious moment for the soldiers of Youzhou, they are not on the road of no return, they are embarking on the road of responsibility and glory.

It wasn't until Han Bao led the army to completely disappear from sight that Li Yang and the others walked down the high platform in turn and left the barracks.

When Han Bao led his army all the way south for five miles, everyone saw a very gorgeously dressed carriage stopped on the side of the road, and a noble and dignified beautiful woman stood next to the carriage, followed by dozens of plainly dressed maids, and it could be seen that they were dressed in disguise.

Han Bao recognized the person at a glance, and the woman standing next to the carriage was his mother, Yang.

Yang didn't come forward to talk to Han Bao, she waved to Han Bao frequently, and said words like "Take care of my son, take care of yourself, and come back safely".

Han Bao's eyes gradually wetted, and he wanted to step forward to tell his mother about parting, but reason told him that he couldn't do this, because he was still followed by more than 50,000 Youzhou soldiers, and he couldn't enjoy such special treatment alone, he had to set an example.

Jia Xu and the others naturally saw Yang's figure, and everyone immediately bowed to Yang.

It is worth mentioning that the soldiers of Youzhou have an extremely high status, and they can not pay full salutes when they see the main mother during the expedition.

Han Bao pressed the urge to say goodbye to his mother, bowed his head slightly at Yang's head, and made a deep bow, even if he said goodbye to his mother, he beat his horse and walked a few steps quickly, he really couldn't bear the pain of such a parting.

It wasn't until Han Bao completely disappeared from his sight that Yang sat back in the carriage, and the convoy made a detour into the city from the West Gate and went straight in the direction of the Prefecture Governor's Mansion.

After Li Yang and his entourage left the barracks, he gave everyone a holiday, so that they could accompany their families before the expedition, anyway, the preparations were basically ready, except for leaving one person on duty in the barracks every day, there was nothing to do, some of the material deployment work had their own civilian officials to do, let the generals rest for two days before speaking, and then personally count the materials before the expedition.

Li Yang also needs to rest for two days, he has been too tired recently, mainly because he is tired, and he needs to worry about big and small things, and this kind of tiredness is the most uncomfortable.

After returning home, Li Yang went straight to Cai Yan's room, fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was dark.

Li Yang asked Cai Yan to instruct the kitchen to prepare dinner, and he wanted to have dinner with Cai Yan and Gongsun Yao.

After the wine and food were prepared, everyone sat down one after another, Li Yang looked at Cai Yan and Gongsun Yao with a smile, and looked at the two beautiful women sitting in front of him, Li Yang felt very satisfied, thinking: "Wake up to the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beauties, I'm afraid it's just like that!" ”

Putting his thoughts behind, Li Yang said to Cai Yan: "I will lead the troops south in a few days, and the affairs in the mansion will all depend on you alone. ”

Cai Yan nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, husband, Ah Yao and I are waiting for you to return triumphantly, and it is estimated that when you come back, Ah Yao will have already given birth, so you will wait to hold your son." ”

Li Yang looked at Gongsun Yao with a smile on his face and said, "It's the same for boys and girls, I am happy to have a son, and I also like to give birth to a daughter, our family doesn't like patriarchy." ”

When the two daughters heard this, they all smiled happily, especially Gongsun Yao, her pressure is still relatively large, you must know that the ancients were mostly patriarchal, especially the family of the princess, and now hearing Li Yang say this, Gongsun Yao's heart is still very moved.

Cai Yan rarely joked with him and said: "With the words of the husband, we will be relieved." ”

Gongsun Yao knew that Cai Yan had no malicious intentions, so she smiled knowingly and said, "That's it!" ”
