Chapter 137: Ambitious
November.
In the middle of winter, snow falls.
This winter was so cold that even the river began to freeze. Because of the wind and snow, the caravans stopped on the road. Even a prosperous city like Shinye is deserted.
There are few pedestrians on the streets.
However, even if it was such weather, it did not stop Guan Liu's interest in hunting, and on this day she took her sword-wielding maid and many retinues to the north to hunt.
Hunting in winter, but not afraid of trampling on fertile land, you can do whatever you want.
Not only was Shinno lonely because of the heavy snow, but it was also in the barracks.
At present, there are many leading generals in Xinye, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, Chen Dao, Wei Yan, Zhou Cang, and Guan Ping. Among them, Zhao Yun and Guan Ping are outside the city.
Zhao Yun led the cavalry, and cavalry training naturally needed to be in an open place.
Zhao Yun set up camp in a very remote place, far away from the rice fields.
Guan Ping is the captain of the agricultural school, and there are both soldiers and tunmin under his command.
Zhou Cang helped Guan Yu lead the troops, similar to the role that Chen Zhi used to help Liu Bei manage the army.
There were only five people guarding the city: Zhang Fei, Gan Ning, Wei Yan, Chen Dao, and Zhou Cang, totaling more than 20,000 soldiers.
In the snowy wilderness, Zhao Yun's camp stood on the wilderness, with the "Zhao" character banner standing in front of the door, most of the soldiers in the camp hid in the camp to rest, and only a few soldiers were taking care of the horses and necessary guards.
On the watchtowers on both sides of the camp gate, there stood a group of soldiers. The snow was falling heavily, and the weather was freezing. Although the soldiers were dressed in thick clothes, they were also shivering with cold.
Take a sip of wine from time to time to warm up.
This wine is an inferior wine, and the so-called bad wine is the previous wine that is different from the Mishi wine. The production of Mi's liquor was high, but it was obviously not extravagant enough to be rationed to ordinary soldiers.
"Da Da Da!" At this moment, a rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the sound of horses' hooves made Zhao Yun's soldiers in the watchtower immediately alert, and they couldn't help but bend their bows to guard themselves.
Soon after, the soldiers relented. Because it was an old acquaintance who came, I saw Zhang Laosan leading twenty-two horsemen to the camp gate.
Zhang Laosan was dressed in a big hat and a hat to resist the wind and snow.
The soldiers did not welcome Zhang Laosan in, but first went to report Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun personally came out to the camp gate, ordered to open the camp gate, and came out to greet Zhang Laosan.
"Why is Wing De here?" Zhao Yun stepped forward and asked.
Zhao Yun is definitely a beautiful man, and he is very elegant, I don't know how many girls' hearts and minds can be seducered. Standing with Zhang Laosan, he is really a beast and a beautiful man.
Zhang Laosan laughed, turned over and dismounted, and said, "Come and see you." ”
Then Zhang Laosan and Zhao Yun hugged each other heavily, a hungry tiger pounced on the sheep, and the bear hugged. If Guan Ping saw it, he would be pleased.
It turns out that this third child is not only rude to me, but also to Zhao Yun.
Zhang Laosan's bear hug was very hard, but Zhao Yun was obviously rough and thick and could withstand it. The two hugged for a moment, then walked into the barracks, and the entourage led the horses on foot.
After entering the barracks, Zhao Yun took Zhang Fei to his big tent. Zhang Laosan came by coincidence, Zhao Yun came back from hunting a wild boar, and he was slaughtering the pot, almost cooked.
Zhao Yun asked Zhang Laosan to sit down, and ordered his soldiers to bring bowls, chopsticks, and wine. Of course, Zhang Laosan was not blessed because he quit drinking.
However, after Zhang Laosan quit drinking, his appetite was greatly boosted, and he has gained a lot of pounds recently. Now that I have seen the fragrant wild boar, I have an appetite, elbows, fat, lean meat, and what I see to eat.
"Zilong, since Ping'er got you horses, recruited new soldiers, and gathered enough cavalry for the second battalion, you have been training in the barracks all day long. My brother and sister came to see my family today, saying that they asked you to go back to the house and stay for a few days. ”
Zhang Laosan said while eating meat and drinking soup.
But it turned out that Zhao Yun was diligent in military training, and he didn't go home once for several months. made the female relatives of the family unhappy, but they didn't dare to bring it up, so they invited Zhang Laosan to see Zhao Yun in a roundabout way.
Zhao Yun is elegant on the outside and strong on the inside, but he is not rough and strong, but extremely strong inside. For the female relatives in the family, Zhao Yun is also ashamed.
With a husband like him, this day is not easy.
Zhao Yun was as good as a stream, and said, "Okay, I'll explain things first today." Tomorrow I will go back to my house and stay for a few days. ”
Zhang Laosan smiled, patted Zhao Yun's shoulder and said, "Zilong, like me, loves women. ”
Several leading generals in Xinye, Zhang Laosan is famous for his good reputation, and he is the first person to treat his wife Xinye, and Zhang Laosan is usually very proud of this.
Captain Department of Diannong.
Guan Ping discussed with Ma Jian to seize the three counties, and reported to Guan Yu to settle the matter. Because Guan Ping is very cautious, so far, only three people know about this matter.
Therefore, the whole department of agriculture is very relaxed.
This winter is indeed a good time for drinking wine and hot soup. Guan Ping set up a tent outside the yamen, hung up the cauldron, the firewood under the pot was very strong, and the tofu soup in the pot was fragrant.
He also ordered his own soldiers to roast sheep beside him, and the golden aroma of roasted sheep was incomparable.
Guan Ping, Ding Feng, Ding Feng, Zhou Xiong, Li Fei, and Liao Hua sat together, drinking soup and eating wine, and cutting mutton with a knife, so happy.
It's not that Guan Ping didn't look for Zhang Bao, Li Zheng, Mi Wei, Zhao Tong and others to come together, but their station was a little far away, and usually this kind of small gathering was Guan Ping's five people together.
Guan Ping never got tired of eating this tofu soup, and he ate it happily. Guan Ping eats a lot of food, and after he is full of food and drink, everyone will already be full.
Guan Ping put down the dishes and chopsticks, looked up at Ding Feng, and said: "Da Ding, Xiao Ding, your brothers have learned Sun Tzu's Art of War, horse warfare has been a long time, and he walks beside me every day, so how to lead the troops should also be clear." Do you want to lead troops? ”
Guan Ping's statement has a deep meaning.
The three counties of Shangyong are the weak points of Liu Biao's strength, and Fangling Taishou Kuaiqi is just a Confucian, and he can be captured in a battle, and the only thing to worry about is the Shen brothers.
But defeat shouldn't be difficult. If you get three counties and nine counties, and these nine counties are still scattered among the mountains, they are connected with each other through mountain roads.
Guan Ping needed to rule these three counties, so he had to send troops and horses.
And Xinye's soldiers and horses can't move, if Cao's army goes south, twenty or thirty thousand people will garrison Xinye, which is already an extremely scarce force.
If Guan Ping ruled the three counties of Shangyong, he had to rely on the people of the Dian Agricultural School Captain Department and about 1,200 soldiers and horses under his command.
This is simply not enough.
Guan Ping recruited soldiers in the three counties of Shangyong, set up more leading generals, and divided troops to guard the city, which was the top priority.
Don't look at Guan Ping's command of Zhang Bao, Li Zheng, Zhou Xiong, Li Fei, Zhao Tong, Mi Wei, Liao Hua, and many Dubo, but in fact, there are really not many people who can lead the troops.
Zhou Xiong, Li Fei is Guan Ping's personal soldiers, in the future, Guan Ping will guard the three counties of Shangyong, and he also needs a team of men and horses to protect himself, Guan Ping needs Zhou Xiong, and Li Fei will lead this army.
It's like the relationship between Zhou Cang and Guan Yu.
Therefore, after careful calculation, the only people who can lead the troops are Li Zheng, Zhang Bao, Zhao Tong, Mi Wei, and Liao Hua, and the number is a little rarer, which is not enough to defend the dangerous points, and even attack Hanzhong or Jingzhou in the future.
Ding Feng, Ding Feng and the two brothers are generals, especially Ding Feng is a tiger minister. Recently, he has been studying Sun Tzu's Art of War and practicing martial arts.
After Guan Ping planned to enter the three counties of Shangyong, he asked them to recruit soldiers on their own and set up an army.
Every day, the Ding brothers get along with Liao Hua, Li Fei, and Zhou Xiong a lot, and Liao Hua all know the skills of the Ding brothers, so they are not surprised to hear this, but are happy to see it.
Zhou Xiong was also very happy, and he wished that Guan Ping would grant the Ding brothers soldiers and horses, and let the Ding brothers get far away, so that he could take his place and saddle the horses and horses by the side of the captain.
As Guan Ping's serious 800 personal generals, Zhou Xiong has always been worried about not being able to saddle up for Guan Ping.
is also very jealous of the Ding brothers, who can saddle the horse for Guan Ping, and are instructed by Guan Ping to come and go.
Guan Guan noticed Zhou Xiong's strange appearance and couldn't help glaring at this kid.
"What are you happy about?"
"Hey, hey." Zhou Xiong hurriedly replied with a slightly flattering smile.
Not to mention Zhou Xiong, Ding Feng, Ding Feng and Brother Ding Feng felt very abrupt after hearing Guan Ping's words. Immediately, Ding Feng was very excited.
To be honest, he was a little tired of following Guan Ping all day long, serving tea and pouring water and doing the work of his entourage.
And after learning the art of war and practicing martial arts, of course, he is leading the troops.
Needless to say?
Ding Feng wanted to agree, but Ding Feng held back. Instead, he glanced at the eldest brother Ding Feng, and the two brothers were mainly Ding Feng.
And when Guan Ping asked the two brothers to learn Sun Tzu's Art of War, the two brothers were actually very unimpressed, they can also be generals like birds?
It's really a slap in the face at the moment.
Their brother really has a chance to become a general.
Ding Feng was very calm, he straightened his waist seriously, bowed down to Guan Ping, and said, "Our brother can have today, thanks to Lord Captain." If the captain needs us two brothers to lead the troops, our brothers will definitely go to the soup and die. ”
Let's not mention history.
To be honest, at this stage of his life, Ding Feng is not really interested in leading troops to fight. Including learning the art of war and practicing the horse war knife technique, it was all because of Guan Ping's instructions.
Ding Feng pursues benevolence and righteousness, and is a reward for gratitude.
Guan Ping is kind to their brothers, and their brothers are naturally willing to do their best for Guan Ping, even if they are in a different place.
Guan Ping smiled when he heard this, although Guan Ping was not surprised by Ding Feng's answer, Ding Feng is this kind of benevolent and righteous person.
But Guan Ping was still very happy.
Guan Ping got up and helped Ding Feng up, and then said sincerely to the Ding brothers: "Before the year, I will ask my father for his life, and make your brothers Sima of other departments, and recruit 2,000 soldiers each. ”
Everyone was taken aback.
You must know that at present, Guan Ping has only more than 1,200 troops and horses, Zhang Bao and Li Zheng are military candidates, and they command more than 500 people.
Zhao Tong and Mi Wei are just Dubo, in charge of fifty-five people.
And the Ding brothers came to the top, and they were able to be awarded the title of Sima of other departments, and each commanded 2,000 people?
This is no longer a surprise, but a thriller.
If Guan Ping acts like this, how can he convince the public?
Ding Feng not only learned the art of war during this time, but also read all kinds of books, and hurriedly said seriously: "My lord is gracious, Ding Feng has no teeth and will not forget." Dan Ding Feng did not have the merit of size, but he did not dare to accept the title of Sima. ”
"Hehe, don't worry about Cheng Yuan. A few years ago, not only your brothers, but also the three of you plus Li Zheng, Mi Wei, Zhao Tong, everyone is Sima. ”
Guan Ping smiled and said to Zhou Xiong, Li Fei, and Liao Hua for three days.
Everyone was dumbfounded!
Captain, is this crazy?
Can Shinno afford to raise so many soldiers?
Even if you can afford it, you should increase the number of troops for General Zhang, General Chen, and General Zhao, who are serious 800 leading generals.
We're just youngsters, okay?
