Chapter Thirty-Seven: How the Iron Army Was Trained
"Presumably, Your Excellency is the famous Captain Karma!" Ma Yuxuan was neither humble nor arrogant. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Exactly so-and-so! I have admired the name of the five sons of the big cave for a long time, but today it seems that it is nothing more than that! Captain Ke was a little arrogant, looking at Ma Yuxuan with a calm face, I don't know what he was thinking, even if he offended Yan Liehou, he was planning to offend all the five sons of Shangqing Dadong.
Ma Yuxuan didn't know what he meant, but since people didn't take these people in their eyes, he must have enough to rely on. Ma Yuxuan didn't believe that the Pacific Pirates only had this background, although if the master next to him was born, he would definitely be a Venerable, but this master would definitely not allow Qi Ke to be so arrogant. is the sweet potato master who fights with himself, and his skills are still faintly above him, of course, because there is no life and death.
Calmly looked at the old man beside Captain Karma, the other party didn't look at him all the time, but Ma Yuxuan felt a deep pressure, the other party did not deliberately target himself now, but used an unpredictable qi machine to lock on to the people around here.
"Refining Qi and Transforming God!" Ma Yuxuan was secretly surprised in his heart, although he was conceited and talented, and he broke through his cultivation to reach the innate realm at a young age, but for those who have reached the innate realm in cultivation, there are two levels that are obvious demarcations. One is to refine and refine qi, and if you cultivate to the extreme, you can climb the Ping and cross the water, pick leaves and hurt people; The second is to refine the qi and transform the gods, and reaching this level is basically to turn the qi into a sword, and the sword hurts people!
It is said that many people in the world today have reached the realm of refining qi and transforming gods, more than ten years ago, Ma Yuxuan accompanied his master Wang Qixia, master Yuanbo, to visit Zixiao Zhenren Tan Qiao, at that time I saw Zixiao Zhenren can become a sword, and this Zixiao Zhenren is the sect master of the first major sect of the Fa Rectification School today. At that time, his bearing was similar to that of the old man now, and even the cultivation of several Fa-rectification disciples around him was much higher than that of his own senior brothers.
Now he is the best senior brother among the five sons of the Great Cave, known as the Wei Feng Pavilion of the Great Cave Transformation Realm Listening to the Wind, that is, the master of Yan Liehou. Ma Yuxuan knew that his senior brother Wei Fengting pursued cultivation, and his realm had improved rapidly in recent years, although it was also the intermediate level of the first realm of refining qi and transforming gods, but at most he barely reached the realm of picking leaves and hurting people, and although he was also an innate realm, he had just reached the threshold of the highest level of Dengping and crossing the water.
And this master, with the strength of one person, can lock everyone within a radius of more than 100 meters just by relying on the qi machine, and can launch a deadly attack on everyone at any time, but he has not reached the advanced level of becoming a sword, and he must be in this realm.
Ma Yuxuan didn't get angry about Captain Karma's fall, because in Ma Yuxuan's eyes, Captain Karma couldn't even pose a threat to himself. So he arched his hand and said: "Fuyuzi is not worth mentioning, the captain has a master by his side to assist, it can be seen that the captain must have something extraordinary." is this sweet potato master, and Fuyuzi is far inferior! However, the master of Yan Zhuang is a disciple of the master, how does the captain fancy Xianyunzhuang and not mention it, Fu Yuzi hopes that the captain and all the masters can give the master and the master a face, and sit down in the village to talk about it! ”
Although Yan Liehou on the side knew that today was very troublesome, after seeing what Ma Yuxuan said, Captain Qiang Ke did not squeak. And the sweet potato master on the side didn't say anything, thinking that he had just been injured in Ma Yuxuan's hands. There was some snickering joy in his heart, especially when he saw Captain Karma with a disdainful face, looking at himself meaninglessly, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and couldn't help shouting angrily: "Captain Karma, did you come to Xianyunzhuang today just to make a profit?" Although Yan is not talented, but today in front of so many colleagues in the rivers and lakes, and Yan's elders, I hope you will draw the road in a dignified manner! ”
He obviously suddenly forgot about Ma Yuxuan's existence, but as he spoke, he looked at Sun Wei, hoping that this person who commended the martial arts could take the initiative to support him.
Captain Karma was noncommittal, and looked at Ma Yuxuan with an evil smile, as if to say that your disciple is a fool. Ma Yuxuan was almost choked to death by Yan Liehou's words, knowing that his words were in vain. I only saw that Captain Ke also looked at the side of the Zhangwu Army represented by Sun Wei, and he couldn't wait to slap this nephew who was older than himself to death with one palm.
Sun Wei was neither humble nor arrogant, but his eyes were also staring at the old man and said: "Sun Wei, the guest general of the Zhangwu Military Festival, the ship has long admired Your Excellency's name!" ”
"Zhangwu Army! Thor! Interesting! "Karma is actually happy, obviously no stranger to this person. But there was no trace of a smile on his face: "That's really a long time coming, a lot of brothers in a certain family have fought with Your Excellency!" He looked at the people around him, and then looked at Ma Yuxuan and Sun Wei, and said lightly: "Today, a certain family in Xianyunzhuang is bound to win, is Zhangwu Army capable of stopping it!" He stared at Sun Wei arrogantly, because of Yan Liehou's words, he didn't pay any attention to Ma Yuxuan.
Sun Wei was not moved by Captain Ke's words, glanced at the people in Xianyunzhuang around him, and mourned for Ma Yuxuan for a while, looked at Liang Ke quietly, and suddenly said something strange: "A certain family is sent by Lord Jieshuai, Your Excellency has unlimited scenery during this time, and it also makes our Wu Yueguo very sad, but this time a certain family is not here to stop Your Excellency!" ”
The faces of the people on the field changed in unison, especially the people on the side of Xianyunzhuang, who listened to Sun Wei's naked reply, and didn't know what to do for a while.
The first thing that Yan Liehou thought of was that this Zhangwu army wanted to take advantage of the difficulties in Xianyunzhuang to fall into the well, and he usually disobeyed their control, although it was useless to pay a lot of tribute. They want to take advantage of their own defeat, but what good is it for them to do so? and completely offended his own teacher. Thinking of Shimen and suddenly thinking of Ma Yuxuan, remembering what Ma Yuxuan said just now, and answering with his own stupidity, Yan Liehou only felt a chill all over his body.
"The donor is murderous! Fear of dying soon! The monk who claimed to be a sweet potato suddenly recited to Sun Wei in a serious voice: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Everyone was stunned, I don't know if he is a monk or a Taoist, a Taoist for a while, a Buddhist disciple for a while.
Sun Wei's eyes flashed darkly, and he said lightly without any disdain: "The master must be the apprentice of this master!" You and I have some origins. Looking at the master Fang Cai and Fu Yu's real opponents, what they use is the immeasurable merit of the sea of this master, who is known as the laughing Maitreya! ”
"The fake monk knew the real person in the past, and I can't see that the donor has a lot of knowledge!" The sweet potato looked at Sun Wei evilly: "You injured a man named Qu Xiaojiu at sea some time ago, he is the brother of a poor monk, and today the real person wants to get back the field!" ”
Everyone was almost stunned by sweet potatoes!
Sun Wei laughed: "It's easy to say! Say! The master is interested, and a certain family is ready to accompany him, but let's get down to business today! He looked at Captain Karma again, hugged his fists and said, "A certain family is not here to stop Your Excellency, but the Jie Shuai has something to say, I don't know if Your Excellency will listen or not!" ”
"Ah, who has the final say in your Xianyunzhuang today, our captain doesn't have time to listen to your grinding and chirping!" The man with the wheel of the axe returned to the side of the carco, brandished a large slab axe, and shouted in a loud voice.
Karma was bound to win, and looked at this side coldly. Qu Xiaojiu is the four powerful generals under his command, he was injured by Sun Wei's mixed yuan thunderbolt palm some time ago, and now he has not recovered from his injury, looking at Sun Wei's calm appearance, Captain Ke is worried in his heart.
Yan Liehou was speechless at this time, so he could only watch Captain Ke and Sun Wei come together and chat in words that only two people could hear. Even if Ma Yuxuan on the side avoided suspicion and didn't have the luck to whisper to listen to the conversation between the two people, in fact, Ma Yuxuan didn't dare to offend the old man.
For a while, it seemed that in front of Xianyunzhuang, the change was uncertain.
Looking at the somewhat shiny sheepskin map in front of him, Guo Jing sighed with emotion, although he did not indicate many details, but every important place he passed through was very accurate. This map was given to him by Emperor Liu Jixing personally when he went out of the palace, not only a military treasure, but Guo Jing also regarded it as a treasure in his heart!
He rose among the ordinary people, was appreciated and promoted by the emperor, and even had to enter the military academy for further study. From a benevolent and brave lieutenant in the Green Battalion, he entered the Praetorian Guard for training, and was even sent to Chudi to carry out tasks. In the end, he was entrusted with the important task of serving as the training envoy of the first regiment in the southwest, and after successfully stationing in Chudi, he was appointed as the envoy of the northwest road. Guo Jing knew that he could not repay this kind of kindness, and he could only prove it with his life's battle.
On the gravel beach by the river, the soldiers were roasting muntjac and wild boars, and there were spies on the surrounding mountains for dozens of miles, so Guo Jing allowed the soldiers to use fire. There are also famous wild mushrooms and animal offal on the makeshift stove, and the fragrance has made these bloody men scream.
Guo Jing looked at these people with satisfaction, they were all brothers who followed him out of Xingwangfu that day, and now there are only six hundred and seven people, and now there are only two hundred people left with him, and the rest of all thirty or so people are scattered around in a group, developing and surviving alone.
Guo Jing never thought that the battle could be fought like this, and the army could be commanded like this. When he first heard Emperor Liu Jixing talk about this plan, Guo Jing felt that it was impossible to succeed. But in fact, in Chudi Hunan, it is this kind of battle that has made the Great Han Kingdom slowly encroach on the land of Chudi. And the brothers who were scattered under their own hands have been contacting themselves through special channels after a period of development, and they have all developed well.
At present, the area he occupies has not increased much compared to the beginning, but Guo Jing knows that these occupied areas are becoming the base of the Han army. Because his brothers are gradually forming a kind of encirclement, it seems to be scattered and unrelated, but as long as an order is given, it will not take long to become a large area.
Although he has been serving as the training envoy of the first regiment of the Northwest Road, he is now actually exercising the duties of the envoy of the Northwest Road, and he is not only responsible for the development of several routes, but also, in the words of Emperor Liu Jixing, is building a huge liberated area. Let yourself become the king of this region first, as long as you give an order, this huge area will become the land of the Great Han Kingdom, and these ordinary people will become the citizens of the Great Han Kingdom.
Life is so wonderful, in a short period of time, Guo Jing has changed from an obscure little scholar to a big man commanding a battle. will become the king of the western part of Chudi, Guo Jing's heart is most grateful to the encounter, of course, what he has learned makes him have no heart to think about anything else.
Liu Jixing is still sending a steady stream of talents to himself, so that these talents can accept front-line military battles and solve people's livelihood problems. What is really true is direct training, and the survival of the fittest cultivates front-line command personnel and local officials. Guo Jing knew that he would be so favored because he could best understand what Liu Jixing meant.
Guo Jing now does not need to expand his territory, as long as he leads his brothers to protect the people, fight against local tyrants and bullies, and get the support of the people to protect the liberated areas. And their scattered brothers are the real main force, and they are copying and spreading territory everywhere for development.
The seven prefectures of Cheng, Syria, Prize, Jin, Xi, Li, and Chenchu have now been connected by Guo Jing into a line, which is a safe liberated area and a route that the Great Han Kingdom can advance into the Central Plains in the future. This makes the Great Han Kingdom not only directly close to Shuzhong, but also can go directly to the border of Nanping.
As for the territory near Lin Ke (牂牁), the territory of the Luo Shi ghosts, as Emperor Liu Jixing agreed to marry Princess Baiyi, he continued to provide them with all kinds of materials, and their leaders completely agreed, and gave a lot of territory and routes to the Han Kingdom.
Guo Jing now finally understands why Liu Jixing made himself the king of Xiangxi and set up his base in Xiangzhou, where he can retreat and defend and attack, and the most important thing is that if he pinches this place, he will not cut off the connection with Shuzhong, let alone let the Chu regime be bold enough to attack completely. Because this is the territory of the barbarian Tusi that everyone recognizes, and now it has gradually become the only way to trade, it is necessary to protect the strategic highland of the state, and the premise is to be recognized by the people.
Several groups of businessmen were arranged, and they smoothly traveled from Chengzhou along the award state to Qianzhou and directly reached Qianzhou into Shuzhong, which greatly shortened almost half of the distance from the Han Kingdom to Shu. Although he received a lot of financial gratitude from the businessmen, Guo Jing knew that the meaning was far greater than money.
This means that in the future, the materials on the sea of the Great Han Kingdom can enter the Central Plains through Shuzhong in a steady stream, and get rid of the situation of dominance through Chu and Nanping. Of course, it is not excluded that the route after the capture of Chu Land, at least for the time being, it is the most convenient. Because no one thought that the Han Dynasty would find such a rugged place in Xiangxi and enter the Central Plains through here. Of course, the greater significance lies in the fact that this can be used as the best breakthrough point for the strategy of this era.
This more and more reflects the importance of the award state, so Guo Jing began to choose a site on the edge of the Zhijiang River two months ago to build the award city belonging to the Han Kingdom, which is also his own Xiangxi Wangwang City. Of course, through the speed of the secret party to transmit information, this project is one of Liu Jixing's plans that day, to establish his own base in the ancient city of Xiangxi, which is of great significance and can control the entire Xiangxi.
When it was in Ma Yin's hands that day, the person who controlled Jinzhou and Award Prefecture was Peng Shichou, the Tusi of the stormy land. Later, after Ma Yin died, Ma Xifan, the king of Wenzhao, had no way to restrain everyone. Peng Shichou also led many barbarians in the two states to attack Lizhou, although in the end Peng Shichou was defeated and took away the award state, and since then the barbarian land has been divided into Yongshun and Baojing two states, and his two sons have inherited it from generation to generation, but since then many barbarians have taken the award state as a concentration place.
But the barbarians still don't look at each other, and continue to maintain the habit of having their own place, so at a glance, it seems that the city of Xiangzhou is divided into several walled cities, unlike other cities that are closely linked.
Especially later, Peng Shichou's son, the barbarian king Peng Shiwei, embraced Ma Xicao as the king of Hengshan, and the famous Central Plains was famous, and the barbarian children who followed him benefited a lot although there were losses. Peng Shiwei naturally didn't expect that later the Southern Tang Dynasty took control of Chudi, and he surrendered with Ma Xixu, and the group of barbarians who led the battle never returned to Yuanzhou.
Guo Jing, with the help of secret party informants, almost did not exert any strength to control the five largest barbarian forces in the award state, because the weapons were too far apart. Moreover, under the policy of one slap and one sugar, the five clans agreed to connect the city of Xiangzhou to form a large new city of Xiangzhou.
Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the city of Xiangzhou has a radius of more than seven or eight miles, and has become a relatively large city in Chudi, especially in the border area.
Most of the houses in the Chu Mountains are made of wood! However, considering the walled city, Guo Jing followed Liu Jixing's intentions and selected stone and sheet stone based on local materials to build a connection on the mountainside of the Zhijiang River.
Because of the original award state, the farthest place will not exceed a kilometer away, and the benefits of connecting the construction are reflected. What's more, for this kind of mountainous place, the general siege war has no practical significance, for the leaders who were originally stationed here, Guo Jing first subdued and then appeased, and cooperated with the management of the award state.
There are also more than 100 soldiers who captured Zhou Xingfeng's subordinates and arranged in Xiangzhou City, and now these soldiers have become out-and-out coolies, and none of them escaped under the care of the barbarians, so that Guo Jing's plan to build the city was successfully completed.
Because it is the Spring Festival soon, the envoy of Wuping Festival will send some condolences to these garrison soldiers as usual, and of course, the most important thing is to bring the tribute paid by the barbarians.
Guo Jing didn't want to attack Zhou Xingfeng's Langzhou yet, and Liu Jixing didn't have this instruction, but Guo Jing still didn't mind eating the condolence group sent by the Jiedu envoy. What's more, there happened to be a group of young lieutenants around him now, who needed actual combat training, so Guo Jing asked a young lieutenant named Chang Weiguo to command, and he only watched the whole operation from the sidelines.
Watching himself gradually add the addresses of each state clearly marked, Guo Jing was even more in awe of Liu Jixing. It is said that the young emperor has the help of the Taoist immortal Shi Zhenren, so he knows the general trend of the world well. Just talking about the distance of this map, the emperor has not been here, but for the distance between the states and the directions, it is not much worse at all. It is now why this award city chose this place, it was all instructed by the emperor himself.
Guo Jing breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "Your Majesty! I will live up to your trust! But there was a strong smell of meat in his nose, and he saw that Chang Weiguo, who had a scar on the left side of his face, was coming over with a two-toothed steel fork with a fragrant muntjac leg, followed by a high-forehead and deep-eyed barbarian Long Chang, who was carrying a few bamboo tubes of wine in his hands.
"How's it going?"
Guo Jing did not have the slightest taboo to hold a five-foot two-tooth steel fork with a wooden handle, and chewed the fragrant muntjac meat with the bamboo tube wine handed over by Long Chang in his hand. During this time outside, he became more accustomed to this kind of life, and there was still a trace of what he looked like a literati.
This sharp steel fork is the usual weapon of the barbarians, of course, these barbarians naturally do not have such good weapons, this is the steel fork specially ordered by Liu Jixing to be built by the ordnance supervisor, and the teeth are one foot and two inches long. It's all made of the finest steel.
Liu Jixing sent five hundred rods at one time, and there were also ten horizontal knives made of stainless steel. As for how these people are divided, Liu Jixing will not interfere, what he wants is for all barbarians to return to their hearts. Of course, I won't mind taking the opportunity to weaken the power of these barbarians, as for these, it is not enough for outsiders!
Long Chang is a Black Miao barbarian, when his father followed the barbarian king Peng Shihui on the expedition, never returned to his hometown, his more than ten years old brother Long Sheng did not take two years, he unified the Black Miao Barbarians, became the barbarian lord of the Black Miao Barbarians, and became the most powerful tribe in the barbarians except for the Tusi Tuman.
With the help of the Han court, Long Sheng did not hide his gratitude at all, and the barbarian was so direct to repay his kindness. He asked his younger brother Long Chang to bring thirty good players in the clan to follow him to participate in this operation and prove his gratitude.
Guo Jing had no accidents, but this operation was to train Chang Weiguo's people, Guo Jing did not interfere with anything, but just brought the rest of his side, one hundred of the two hundred soldiers who had been following him, and paid attention to the accident of Chang Weiguo's operation at any time.
The special operations team in charge of this operation consisted of only thirty people, all of whom were in charge of Chang Weiguo. Ten veteran soldiers, and twenty newly sent warriors. There are seventy or eighty of them on the barbarian side, and it seems that there are people in every tribe.
Liu Jixing's things this time stimulated a lot, and some remote tribes heard the news and came over to show favor to Guo Jing. What's more, Guo Jing said that the king of Xiangxi does not want tribute from all clans, as long as you belong to the king of Xiangxi, where to find this kind of good thing.
"Don't worry, my lord, a certain family has arranged three sets of spies, in the way they must pass, as long as there is news, we will get it immediately, and the personnel have been allocated and dispatched!" Chang Weiguo is full of confidence and chest.
This is his first battle in Chu! It should be said that it was the first battle led by himself!
Chang Weiguo had participated in many operations of the Green Battalion before, and each time he successfully completed them with his comrades. successfully became a cadet of the military academy and trained to become a new generation of commanders of the Han Kingdom. Then after experiencing a secret mission of Jin Weizhi, he successfully became one of the officers in Chu.
"This is inevitable, as the commander of this operation, you have the right to transfer your personnel at any time, do not live up to the dean's entrustment to you, do not live up to the people's trust in you!" Guo Jing looked up at the sky, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said: "The spies have returned this condolence to make some comebacks, and prepare for the worst!" Let's go all out! ”
"Report!" I saw an agile figure rushing towards the water's edge in the mountains, and it returned from a distance.
Everyone who was eating with relish suddenly got up.
"Hahahaha!" Liu Jixing laughed and looked at the information in his hand, looked at the officials and said excitedly: "You now know how the Iron Army was trained!" There is nothing in this world that cannot be done, only whether we want to do it or not! Take a look at the results of this operation! In the future, it will be enough to go down in history and let future generations sigh and admire! Our army of the Han Kingdom is the people's army! It is the pride of the people! I suggest a toast to the great soldiers! ”
Under the leadership of Liu Jixing, at least now there are fewer and fewer dissenting voices, not to mention the series of measures and decrees implemented by Liu Jixing, which many people dare not think of in this era. Of course, Liu Jixing will not be stupid enough to shake his imperial power, but he can make his imperial power more stable.
Summing up the lessons of history, as long as you do not detach yourself from the masses and let the masses feel hope, there will be no market and no opportunities for those who rebel. As long as you have a firm grasp of the army, your generals at all levels will be a cabbage.
Liu Jixing understands the truth that power comes out of the barrel of a gun, so that the soldiers understand that they are paying for the country and the people, and let the soldiers understand that you are the people's army, and the country is my Liu Jixing's. Obviously, through this incident, Liu Jixing has known that he and the country and the people have been firmly imprinted in the hearts of the soldiers.
"Tell me the will! Build a kilometer square on the side of Changhua Palace, build a large stone monument in the square, and I want to write the monument to the people's heroes of the Han Dynasty, and engrave the names of all the soldiers who sacrificed for the people and the country, even the names of the people! Let generations of the people of the Han Kingdom understand their great achievements! Liu Jixing stood on the majestic platform with a solemn and respectful expression.
The ministers in the hall are all stunned, there will be such a thing in that dynasty! I'm afraid that only Liu Jixing, the emperor, will think so! This is the first time in the world! This is obviously to include these people and heaven and earth in general into the national sacrifice! Everyone is excited, imagine who doesn't have this kind of hero! If the name is engraved on this stone tablet, it really almost means immortality!
Li Yu and Xue Yongpi were the first ministers to take the lead in singing praises, and for a while, the hall was full of voices singing praises of merit! What a wise and far-sighted, far-sighted! The hall was full of overflowing words.
Liu Jixing didn't stop them from doing this, looking at the expressions of the individuals in the hall, his expression was calm and a little comforted. At least now that he truly controls the power of the Great Han Kingdom, he can decide anything! The praise of the ministers can only show one problem, they are already supreme in their hearts, whether they are yang or yin or sincere, under the absolute imperial power, these are no longer important!
