Chapter 374 The smell is similar
"The general doesn't need to excuse us! Even if there is death or life in the future, we will definitely move forward.
can serve under the general's account, and have no regrets in this life. ”
Tao Qing naturally didn't believe that they were three thousand lone troops, deep behind enemy lines, and had no logistical baggage, so what credit could they have to pick up.
I'm afraid it's hard to even escape with a life.
He knelt on the ground and wrapped the bags of different sizes in a new bag, each of which carried the affection of a companion for his family.
It could be a husband to a young wife, or a son to an elderly parent.
The world is famous for Danyang's elite soldiers, don't you know the main reason is because they are poor.
The so-called "Danyang Mountain is dangerous, the people are more fruitful, good martial arts, noble strength, and the land of elite soldiers," is the case.
Tao Qing and these generals, each of them was poor and couldn't survive, so they decided to eat food and become soldiers, otherwise they would starve to death.
However, in this era, when they were soldiers, their salaries tended to be close to nothing, and the source of their private wealth mainly lay in the rewards of their head merit and the wealth of the dead on the battlefield.
And, of course, the robbery of the city during the breach.
However, as long as each prince did not want to leave a bad reputation, he would generally not allow it to do so.
The soldiers under Liu Ping were even more not.
Therefore, the private money accumulated by Tao Qing and his five hundred soldiers is very small, and one person can carry it.
It is conceivable that even if the money can be successfully returned to their families, it will not be able to buy a few stones of grain.
Seeing Tao Qing half-kneeling on the ground, he lifted the small burden again.
Liu Ping squatted down, took it, weighed it, and said in a sincere voice: "Believe me, we will definitely succeed in this battle, and I will lead everyone to win wealth together."
I will keep the money for you first, and after that I will pay back ten times as much. ”
The group of soldiers in front of him knew that they were going to die for a lifetime, but they were still willing to accompany him to die generously.
What a bunch of lovely, respectable guys!
"So, there is General Law!"
Tao Qing arched his hand and stood up.
Although he still doesn't believe that this can be as light as Liu Ping said, Liu Ping has already taken over those money bags after all.
On the battlefield, Liu Ping, as the main general, must have a much greater chance of surviving than them.
Looking at Tao Qing's departing back, Liu Ping took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, his brows furrowed tightly.
At this time, Lu Qi picked up the curtain and came in with a dress.
It is said that marching and fighting, and it is not allowed to bring female dependents.
But Lu Qi's identity is Liu Ping's concubine and a general of the imperial court, and he is convincing by everyone.
So no one in the barracks dared to say anything more?
With her by her side, she can't help but add a touch of warmth to Liu Ping's boring and cold marching life.
"Lang Jun is worried about the uncertain future?" Lu Qi knelt down and gently pinched Liu Ping's shoulder.
"Yes and no," Liu Ping replied ambiguously.
Although it is clear in the historical records, the place where the Yuan army is stationed for grain is in Wuchao, which is forty miles away from Guandu, but it is also clearly recorded in the historical materials that there are 20,000 soldiers led by Chun Yuqiong to guard it.
How to look at Chun Yuqiong, you can't take Romance seriously.
Chun Yuqiong was selected by Emperor Ling as one of the eight captains of the West Garden, which shows that he is by no means incompetent.
He may be a good drinker, but he will never be like what is said in the romance, he is addicted to alcohol and takes guarding Yuan Jun's grain and grass as a child's play.
Moreover, the history books say that he also has four deputy generals under him, assisted by Wei Yuanjin, Han Juzi, Lu Weihuang, and Zhao Rui, and has relatively complete fortifications.
Although Liu Ping led the mixed formation of the most elite tiger and leopard cavalry and the Danyang army today, there were only 3,500 people after all.
It is obviously impossible to expect such a small number of people to storm the black nest.
The advantage of his cavalry was in the outskirts of the city, not in the siege.
Therefore, the first problem in front of Liu Ping is how to pry open the turtle shell of the black nest.
……
Wuchao is named because it is bordered by Wuchaoze in the south.
Now Yuan Jun has built a tall camp here, hoarding countless grains and grasses transported from the rear, even if he eats them for another half a year, he can't eat them all.
Chun Yuqiong is indeed not incompetent, he did not passively hide in the camp to defend, but sent his soldiers to more than a dozen hundred-person squads to patrol outside the camp, and sent countless secret sentinels around.
As long as there is anything abnormal in the vicinity, someone will immediately warn you, and the camp will respond quickly.
Such a tight defense has been carried out for half a year and has never been relaxed.
In the camp, Chun Yuqiong learned the lesson of Yan Liangwen and Chou, and in view of the fact that Cao Jun had generals like Lu Butai Shici, he specially beheaded their generals, and he put several suspicious tents in the camp, but he did not go to any of them.
His real place was to dig a bunker in a high place.
He usually stays in the bunker, and directs the operation of the Wuchao camp through the four deputy generals of Wei Yuanjin, Han Juzi, Lu Weihuang, and Zhao Rui.
With such care, nothing has gone wrong in the past six months.
At this time, Chun Yuqiong was convening four deputy generals to discuss the meeting.
The bunker was brightly lit and well ventilated, so I didn't feel damp or stuffy at all.
"General, now that the autumn harvest is approaching, it is the time when the green and yellow are not available, and I am afraid that the decisive battle with the Cao army is in the near future."
Chun Yuqiong licked her chapped lips and said: "The order of the lord army came, asking us to take strict precautions, not to be negligent, and beware of Cao Jun's dog jumping off the wall in a hurry." ”
"No!"
Sitting on both sides, the four generals in full armor agreed in unison.
"Special mother, I don't know when the thief will be killed," Wei Yuanjin scolded beside him: "We've been nesting here for half a year, and we haven't even drunk a sip of wine, and the wine worms in Lao Tzu's stomach are almost hungry to death." ”
Previously, Chun Yuqiong and these four people were drinking friends, they were all good drinkers, and they usually smelled the same.
But since he was stationed here, Yuan Shao strictly ordered a few people not to drink, and those who violated the order were beheaded, and they didn't dare to defy the law.
"If you want me to say, the lord is too careful," Han Juzi pouted and said, "We have been stationed here for half a year, if Cao Thief knew that we were here, wouldn't he have sent someone to harass us a long time ago?"
But we haven't even seen a dog, which means that the thief doesn't know where we are. ”
"Even if the thief knows, what can he do? Cao's army has a total of only 30,000 horses, and we have 20,000 defenders here, and we have a camp to defend, even if Cao Cao leads all the troops and horses to attack, why not?
What's more, we are only forty miles away from Guandu here, and even if we are attacked, the main princess's army and horses will have time to rescue them. ”
Everyone, every word you and I say, is full of complaints.
In the past, the defense was tight, but after half a year, nothing happened, and everyone's tense hearts inevitably relaxed, and the wine worms in the stomach were itching.
"What's in that water bladder?"
Han Juzi, who was sitting next to him, suddenly opened a water bladder, and Chun Yuqiong smelled the smell and immediately jumped up.
