Chapter 104: Gao Ji leads the troops
And Fan Liang came to the place of Qimen with his soldiers at this moment, with the people who could command around him, when Fan Liang came, he didn't expect that there would be a lot of big battles in Qimen in the future. On the contrary, he was still in a very good mood, handling papers, reading and writing, and enjoying the scenery along the way, which was particularly leisurely.
Gao Ji is also very powerful, and he set his military name as Chu Army, and he came to Fan Li's big camp Qimen, why do you want to call the soldiers brought by Gao Ji Chu Army? First of all, the source of the soldiers is different, what is the situation of Fan Li's original soldiers, they are recruited in a county, and the people of a county can form an army.
But you always recruit and recruit, recruit year after year, recruit when you die, recruit when you die, recruit when you die, this county can't support an army anymore. It's like what the sketch says: You can be a sheep wool, you look like Ge You, who can't see it!
Therefore, it is impossible to recruit, and it is necessary to re-recruit soldiers in Huzhou Province before they can form an army. It turned out that Gao Ji wanted to recruit 2,500 people, but Fan Liang asked him to recruit 5,000 people, and finally Gao Ji recruited more than 5,800 people.
It stands to reason that these 5,800 people are equivalent to an increase of nearly 50% of the troop strength, which is very good news. But we can't just look at the good side when we look at the problem, yes, you have recruited people, but eating and sleeping, isn't it all money? Where does the money come from?
What does that mean? It was Gao Ji who had not yet paid the army, grain and grass, so he sent troops and went to the front line.
It turned out that Fan Liang led the troops, that is, he had to have money before he dared to send troops, and now it is the same.
So this is the difference between Fan Li and Gao Ji, and the style is different. But this is a later story, for now, Fan Li can't say what he wants to say, because first: Gao Ji is now enthusiastic, and second, Gao Ji won the first battle ushered in by Gao Ji.
In the first battle, Gao Ji led his Chu army to victory! Five or six thousand enemies were killed, thousands were disbanded, hundreds of women and dozens of children were rescued.
You look at the battle that Gao Ji fought, remember this number, hey, I even rescued women and children. So what price did the Chu army pay? You can't imagine that only one officer was wounded and two soldiers died. OMG! This is the combat ability of Gao Ji Chujun.
Within ten days, Gao Ji won three successive victories, taking two cities and killing thousands of enemies. And what about the consumption of Gao Ji Chujun's side, three casualties, how powerful do you say he is? How strong is the fighting ability of the Chu army.
But in retrospect, he didn't fight Zhang Xiuhong's regular rebel army, he fought another group of rebel army in Dongzhou. But despite this, it was also very powerful, so he continued to lead the troops and walked towards the area of Fan Liqimen.
Looking back, let's talk about the state of Fan Liang in the main battlefield of Qimen at this moment, Fan Li's current state is more scratching, don't look at him as the governor of Liangjiang, but the source of troops that he can command around him is particularly limited, but what, because you have carried the banner of half of the country, the banner of half of the rivers and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River.
So everyone has something to look for him, from Fan Liang to this day, the governor of Liangjiang began to report urgent documents from all over the world, every day like dandruff, Kaka Kaka, like snowflakes, everything to find him, Fan Li can't cope with it.
Those over there in the capital send him out, you take this soldier out, you send that soldier out, you go to support this, you support that piece.
But Fan Li doesn't have so many people at all, I support a Mao Wow, I really don't have a move, I sent a letter to the emperor, and said bluntly, don't force me anymore, if I send troops away, this place will be unstable, if my land is unstable, how can you keep Zhezhou, how can you keep the country behind?
Fan Liang said this, the emperor has no words, the emperor thinks yes, what should you do? Is Fan Li really a soldier? In addition to Gao Ji coming here, there were several other generals who also came to him, like Ma Ting, Zhang Lai, and Li Du, etc., all came to Fan Li.
The arrival of these soldiers made Fan Li feel a lot more comfortable, but it won't last too long to be comfortable, because you didn't have anything to send when you didn't have soldiers, and now that you have soldiers, don't you send them yet?
And the battle situation in other places is really in danger, and you really can't keep the land if you don't send troops. So there is no way, I can only say that there is a bean bag, I will feed a guest first, a bean bag, and I will feed another guest.
So Fan Li decided to defend Qimen, since all of you are here, then under the condition of ensuring the stability of my Qimen, and ensuring that I still have a few soldiers in my hands to deploy, okay, I will send someone out to fight.
Whom will they send? This person's name is Li Du, Li Du is a good friend of Fan Li, a native of Pingjiang, Huzhou, who writes very well and appreciates Fan Li.
But just because he writes well doesn't mean he will fight, you're a scholar, you're sitting in an office, and you're not good at this in society, that's what it means.
Fan Li also saw Li Du's weakness, so he sent him out, but he agreed with him in five chapters: First, he can't be exaggerated. You can't listen to the big and inappropriate rhetoric of the literati.
Second, you can't be too modest. It's that you are too easy to talk to, and you are easily swayed by others.
Third, you can't spend money recklessly. The camp money must be used properly, and you can reward the meritorious people almost enough, and you can't guarantee too much.
Fourth, abstain from repetition. Speaking of you, you are indecisive, and the standard characteristic of literati is that it is difficult to make decisions, and you are easy to change. But your situation is easy to change overnight, so you quit me about it.
Fifth, you must abstain from selfishness. If you want to do something, you must first choose this person because of this official, and you can't choose this official because of people.
Okay? Li Du said yes. Then let me tell you, no one will say no on this kind of issue, the point is whether he can continue to do it after he agrees.
So Fan Li sent Li Du out. Where to send? Huizhou, his task is to take over the defense of Huizhou. Huizhou is a famous cultural city with a long history and the economic center of Wufu Prefecture in southern Anhui. What are the characteristics? There are many archways, exquisite stone carvings, the pen, ink and paper inkstone made by the craftsmen in this city are very good, especially the Hui ink, the rain lake pen, the end inkstone, the rice paper and the best product among the four treasures of the study.
This is a place with a very heavy humanistic atmosphere, Li Du, as a literati, he came here, in fact, there is a plot, so he is thinking in his heart, the origin of this kind of ink that everyone is using has kept me, what a happy thing it is!
