In Xiangguan, the vanguard of the Han army in the south, Shamoke and Lin Luozhu, officially started, took a bamboo raft and a small boat to the south along the Xiangshui River, turned around through the Ling Canal, and fought again along the old road of the Qin army's southern expedition.

Compared with the Qin army, the Han army was in a good situation this time, not only on the way to the march there were villages near the river, but also various barbarians as scouts, defending the two wings, and searching out the possible surprise soldiers of the Wu army.

There are only three options for Lu Dai, either surrender, or defend according to the danger, or ...... Return to Koto by sea boat.

With the current seagoing ship manufacturing technology and Lu Dai's reserves, Lu Dai can only take away less than 1,000 people, and he can't take away too many Jiaoguang native products, not to mention that the Shi family also has sea ships.

On land, the lazy native army of Jiaoguang was not resistant to war, and if it was fought by boat, it would be discussed separately.

The Haoqiang and Tumin troops in Jiaozhou and Guangzhou really did not fight...... This is a fact that has been proven by Jiangdong Haoqiang since Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling.

The indigenous tribes on the outskirts of Ninan County are even more unskilled in warfare, the first is the backward equipment, the second is the lack of organization, and the third is the simple tactics...... The most important point is that there are abundant products here, and the family can be fed just by relying on women to collect, and the men can bask in the sun and suppress the women, so why fight and kill?

Where there are three crops a year, the area where you can continue to harvest by sowing a handful of seeds...... And without external survival pressure, you can't be too the people in this happy land.

Fortunately, mosquitoes and malaria are protecting this fertile land.

Tian Xinmu sent a boatload of Hunan military officials to the south, and the Hunan military officials were all lightly armed, with rattan cards of equal shoulder height on each side, and the weapons were generally equipped with hook knife style as standard...... Dog-legged knives, except for the chief and the chief, who are equipped with spears and halberds, the other sergeants are all swords and shields.

Military uniforms have also been simplified, with over-the-knee shorts, single clothing, leggings, number coats, coarse linen shoes, water hyacinths, and backpacks.

Entering the boundary of Guangzhou, almost equivalent to entering the tropical rainforest, iron armor is easy to rust, leather armor is easy to rot by moisture, the best protective equipment is the shield.

Fighting, camping, and marching can always accompany you and play a key role.

At the same time, almost all the officials who went south were big bald.

After the first batch of vanguard troops was deployed, Tian Xin inspected the treasury and watched the second batch of equipment depart, which was mainly agricultural tools and axes.

The axes are in place, and when the army is encamped, the surrounding trees are cut down, which can effectively improve the camping environment; If you have to go to the army, then cut out a flat plain!

Immediately after that, the third batch of troops was launched, and Tian Xin bid farewell to his deputy general Xia Houlan.

"When I was in Fangcheng Juntun the year before last, my brother led the army across the border and talked with me on the side of the road."

Tian Xin held a banquet by the dock, a very simple small banquet of river fresh, just like when he went north to challenge Xu Huang, and Xiahou Lan set up a banquet in Xiangyang to present the Qingyu sword.

Telling the general scene at that time, Tian Xin laughed: "At that time, I reformed the military uniform and made the officials break their hair, and my brother was harsh. I laughed with him, saying that one day I would teach all my sons and daughters to break their hair. Today, all the hair is broken, and there are many shavers, I don't know what my brother should look like when he hears it. ”

Guan Ping's personality tends to be rigid, calm, and conservative, and you can imagine Guan Ping's breathless appearance.

Xia Houlan smiled, although he didn't shave his hair, he also cut his hair short, and replied with a glance: "The Hunan army officials are full of nature, and they are willing to die with Chen Gong, let alone cut their hair and beard." ”

The Hunan army was different from other armies, it was an army built on the prestige of Tian Xin, and it drained the elite population of various tribes in Xiangzhou.

"Yes, his generation is full of nature, just like a child, he should be born and educated, otherwise it will be difficult to teach and reform if he goes astray."

Tian Xin picked up the tea and smiled: "Wait for the triumphant news of the old general!" ”

Xiahou Lan also picked up the tea bowl, staring at Tian Xin, with a hint of heaviness: "I will live up to my mission." ”

The two of them drank tea, and the military officials behind Xia Houlan also raised their heads to drink the tea, all of which were brewed with good tea powder.

In this southern expedition, regardless of the Han army and the Han servant army, tea powder and brick tea were fully distributed to ensure that the soldiers had warm tea soup to drink every day during the march and battle.

It was also strictly forbidden for officials to drink raw water and hunt wild animals.

After Xiahoulan set off, Tian Xin waited for another day to review the fire prevention measures and fortifications of the Xiangguan Mansion again.

When Tian Xin went to Meng Da in Yidu County to serve as a guide officer, he knew the head of the mansion, who was the camp governor under Meng Da at that time, and had a colleague relationship with Li Fu.

It's just that Li Fu is a native of Longxi, and this Yin Yi is a member of Yin Yanshi in Sili Henan, and he can barely be regarded as a member of the Sili Township Party with the people of Guanzhong.

In the administrative regional planning, Yin Yi, Meng Da and Tian Xin are the party of Sizhou Township, and culturally they are the upper class families of the capital of the city, which are close to the customs of the Kanto region; In terms of customs and regions, Guanlong has always been one.

This person was born from an extraordinary background, and his father, Xuan Jian, served as the assassin of Yizhou during the period of Emperor Ling, and was attacked and killed by the Yellow Turban Army and Ma Xiang and others; He also has a son, who is fifteen or sixteen years old, who is staying by Tian Xin's side to serve as the scribe of the copying order, and Li Heng is a colleague.

Lu Yi had been a scholar in Sun Quan's shogunate for more than ten years, which was extremely beneficial to the improvement of his own experience and governing experience.

Yin Yi's son is called Yin Su, and he is holding Tian Xin's lightning tail red, blue and white three-color battle helmet to follow left and right.

Unlike in the past, in the past, all armies cooperated in combat, and the grain routes were jointly maintained by all parties; If one party has an omission, there are others who remind them to fill in the gaps.

This time, the grain transportation was exclusively managed by Tian Xin's side, and he was afraid of lack of experience and the formation of a blind spot in his thinking.

It's not terrible to eat defeat, and it can bring most people back after all; But if the grain channel is cut off...... He can run back, and the officials who go out with him will not be spared, and they will inevitably be swallowed up by the harsh natural environment.

Tens of thousands of troops were wiped out...... You can't forgive yourself, and you can't forgive others.

It is better to have more twists and turns, but also to ensure the safety of the food road, so that the vast majority of people can be reunited with their families.

Inspecting the granaries, Tian Xin instructed before leaving: "Wen Gong, unless Your Majesty is there in person, the rest of the edicts and orders will not be accepted." Uncle Ma is always a lesson from the past, and he must not repeat the mistakes of the past. ”

Yin Yi bowed his hand, his eyebrows solemn: "Uncle Ma can often be martyred for the country, and the minister has this heart for a long time." ”

Tian Xin bowed slightly, led his relatives to leave, and finally inspected the beacon towers near and far, this time Liao Li followed.

The focus of the beacon defense was on the east bank of Xiangshui, where it was guarded against surprise attacks that the Wu army might intersperse.

As long as he guards the pavilion and keeps the grain storage, no matter what changes, Tian Xin is sure to come back with the main force and solve all the troubles.

He and Liao Li, Tian Ji, Yin Yi and others have already agreed on secret words, in addition to secret words, Liao Li and Yin Yi also have their own brothers and daughters to stay by Tian Xin's side as personal entourage.

This is by no means a hostage, but a military custom...... Only in the most urgent cases will these retinues act as messengers to convey clear orders that do not need to be questioned or translated.

When parting from Liao Li, Tian Xin said: "Now that the times are converging, it has come to the time of great changes in the world. I must not show weakness, otherwise the rats will be dizzy, and it will inevitably be difficult to recover. Only by showing their own majesty, the rats dare not act rashly, and everything is naturally peaceful. When the prince settles in Jiangdu, everything will be settled. ”

Pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger...... It will cause unpredictable changes!

What is Jiangdu?

It's a prison!

Before Liu Chan entered Jiangdu, the conspirators could still stir up trouble.

When Liu Chan enters Jiangdu, everything will move forward according to the agreed route, and there will be people who jump out...... Just a slap to death.

You don't need to do it yourself, Guan Yu can do it for you.

Now Guan Yu, it is already rare for the two not to help each other.
