When the rooster crowed early the next morning, Tian Xin packed his bags and carried his little sister on his back to lead Geng Jaw and Lin Luozhu to Jiangling on foot.

Cattle, horses, and donkeys are important agricultural and transportation animals, and most military officials rely on two legs to travel, except for knights who convey military orders.

Even if you encounter a convoy of transports on the way, even if it is an empty car on the way back, you can't touch it, it will consume animal power.

It is also a precautionary measure, if you can take the carriage and horse along the way today, will you be able to let the carriage and horse follow you along the way tomorrow, and will you directly drive the carriage and horse to your home the day after tomorrow?

There are Geng jaws, official seals, and official documents, and they arrive at Gangneung City at dusk and go straight to the Hanshou Pavilion Marquis' Mansion.

The steward of the Hou Mansion is Guan Yu's wife Zhao, this Zhao has nothing to do with Zhao Yun, is Guan Yu's newly married wife after arriving in Jingzhou, and is also Guan Ping, Guan Yinping, Guan Xing's biological mother, Fangling Zhao, a descendant of Zhao Wangqian; Zhao Lei, the governor of the water division, is the Zhao clan of Zhuojun and a descendant of Zhao Wangqian.

Another prosperous branch descendant of Zhao Wangqian is the Yingchuan Zhao clan, which is generally the Zhao Wangqian exiled to Fangling to reproduce here, and there is a branch of the Yingchuan Zhao clan, and the Yingchuan Zhao clan is divided into the Zhuojun Zhao clan.

And Guan Ping's wife, Zhao, is Zhao Lei's daughter.

Tian Xin's other Sima Zhao Yue is the Nanyang Zhao clan, which is the Tianshui Zhao clan, and the two Zhao clans are the descendants of Zhao Wangqian's brother Dai Wang Jia.

Now Liu Bei has four genealogies under Liu Bei's command: Zhuojun Zhao, Changshan Zhao, Shujun Zhao, and Nanyang Zhao.

Tian Xin had already prepared and handed over a silk letter that he had asked for from Guan Ping.

It is not safe in Jiangling City, only to foster the little sister in Guan Yu's house is safe, even if the army is defeated, Sun Quan wants to kill only Guan Yu and Guan Ping, who have a deep influence on the Jingzhou army, and will not kill the young Guan Xing.

In addition to avoiding turmoil, it can also avoid epidemics.

Guan Yu's house should not be infected with plague and disease.

Zhao was a gentle woman, so she responded to this matter without thinking about it, and arranged for the servant to lead Tian Xin to the other courtyard to inspect the environment in which Tian Yan would live in the future.

Before it got dark, a female steward came to visit with a thick stack of colorful clothes: "Governor Tian Ying, this is my young lady's old clothes, barely usable, I hope you don't dislike it." ”

"A wandering traveler, it is a great favor to be able to cover up his ugliness, how dare he dislike it?"

Tian Xin solemnly took it, turned around and took out a large bronze mirror from his bag, and handed it to both hands: "In the future, the sister will live in the house, and it will be more troublesome for the eldest sister to take care of it." ”

The female steward calmly accepted it, and there was a smile on her face: "According to my wife's wishes, Miss Tian will be my lady's companion in the future, how about Tian Ying's supervision?" ”

"Madame Rende."

Tian Xin bowed his hand to the direction of the main courtyard: "If this is the case, Tian has no worries." ”

In the evening, the pro-soldier Lin Luozhu was cooking dinner in the courtyard, and after bathing, Tian Yan wore a slightly wide embroidered dark flower new green wide-sleeved brocade dress and stood in front of Tian Xin obediently, with a clean face and a curled mouth, and Tian Xin was braiding her hair.

"When I see Miss Guan tomorrow, you have to be well-behaved and don't make her angry. If she bullies you and beats and scolds you, don't resist, you can't beat her, and don't quarrel with her. ”

"I'm friends with her brother, and when I come back, you tell me, and I'll ask her brother to vent your anger for you."

"Don't worry, I see that the lady is generous and benevolent, the prince is chivalrous, and the house is clean, and he disdains to bully the weak. I think Miss Guan will not bully you even if she has a playful personality. ”

Tian Yan's front teeth fell out, and her speech leaked: "What is chivalrous?" ”

"Eliminating violence and peace, serving the country and the people, hoeing the strong and helping the weak is chivalrous."

After settling down Tian Yan, Tian Xin returned to Qianshantun the next evening, and the wind and dust were served.

More than 30 people gathered in the surrounding tun to the north, and the custom of serving as a subordinate to the township party has been around for a long time.

After Tian Xin screened out the only son who had the responsibility of providing for the elderly, he chose 22 people as his subordinates.

The monthly stipends issued to him by Jingzhou will be transferred to the families of these tribes through the hands of his grandfather Tian Wei; And these troops served in the army with Tian Xin, and they didn't have to worry about armor, clothing and food, just eat with the camp.

The summer harvest is the clarion call for war.

The food ration in the army has been significantly improved, and if the caloric intake of training in peacetime is 5,000 kcal, it has now been increased to 1,000; In wartime it can reach eight thousand.

In a war that lasts for more than a month, even if the military rations are sufficient, even if it is just a confrontation, under the combination of huge psychological pressure and daily garrison tasks, the physical fitness of the sergeants will decline rapidly.

Eating fat and being strong is the greatest confidence of a sergeant in the preparation period for war; The reason why the new force is terrible is that there is sufficient physical reserves.

At the end of May, with Cao Cao's embarrassed evacuation of Hanzhong, Liu Bei's Yizhou Army and Zhang Fei's Bazhou Army began to rest, and at the same time, the Yidu Taishou Mengda in the rear received Liu Bei's order to land in Zigui by boat, and then marched lightly through the Xiangxi River Valley, crossing the mountains and mountains to avoid the people, the eyes and ears of Cao Jun, and went straight to the Han River to cut off the connection between Fangling County and Nanyang County and Nanxiang County.

Immediately afterwards, go to the western suburbs of Fangling County by the Pink River Valley, the city is steep and difficult to attack, Meng Da according to the strategy taught by Tian Xin, the pioneer of the mountain people bandits to plunder the villages outside the city. The county guard Kuai Qi personally led more than 1,000 troops out of the city to suppress bandits, and did not want Meng Da's main force to kill from the upper reaches of the pink water, and beheaded Kui Qi on the bank of the Fan Water River.

At the same time, Liu Feng led an army of 5,000 to go down the Han River, and Meng Da attacked Shangyong Taishou Shen Tan, Shen Tan surrendered to send his family and clan to Chengdu as a hostage, and was appointed by Liu Bei as Shangyong Taishou, and Meng Da was the Taishou of Fangling, and promoted Liu Feng to the deputy general, supervising the three counties of Shangyong, Fangling and Xicheng.

Meng Da's vacant Yidu County Guard was supplemented by the promotion of Fan You, the former Yidu County Lieutenant, and the county lieutenant official seal he deposited in Tian Xin was also sent to retrieve it.

Throughout June, with the end of the summer harvest, the conflict between the Jingzhou Army and Cao Ren's Zhengnan Army became increasingly fierce, and the phenomenon of scouts and strangulation began to appear.

The scorching heat in June was not conducive to the war, and Jingzhou and Yizhou interacted closely, but Tian Xin could not wait for the news that the ministers persuaded Liu Bei to be the king of Hanzhong.

Could it be that after the flooding of the Seventh Army, Liu Bei claimed to be the king of Hanzhong?

is not called the king of Hanzhong, what is the matter with Guan Yu's former general?

Unable to understand this problem, Tian Xinyue did not dare to act rashly, and stayed in the barracks all day to train the soldiers.

The soldiers under his command are now mostly attached to the Han surname, and they are divided into seven songs by him, and the seven songs are all composed of flower teams, both of which have bows, crossbows, swords and shields, and spears and halberds, which are completely melee formations; It is not a pure team that is conducive to the battle formation, but a pure team is a sword and shield, gun formation and the like.

Yi soldiers are good at private fighting, and they are also adaptable and good at team formation and combat methods.

The flower team does not have high requirements for the quality of military officers and sergeants, and it is also the most suitable preparation plan for soldiers at present.

Under this establishment, apart from melee battles and resistance lines, this army does not seem to have any obvious characteristics and merits.

In the second half of the night of 19 July, the weather was cool, and Tian Xin was patrolling the night with Xi Hong, another supervisor of the new battalion of the Lingling County Yi Soldiers.

At the beginning of the month, the lieutenant officers and men of the battalion were issued armor and combat equipment to strictly enforce military orders.

At this time, the morning drum sounded, and the soldiers in the battalion wore armor and started morning exercises in the camp with full armament, which was only a queue of morning exercises, so as to strengthen the sense of military discipline and no longer carry out intensive training related to physical fitness.

Liao Hua left Tian Xin and asked: "Xiaoxian often says that Erbu is good at walking, and he is good at fighting in the mountains and forests?" ”

Tian Xin snorted: "Exactly." ”

Liao Hua took out a silk book and put it on the table, spread it out, and issued a tiger talisman: "Today, the second battalion of the Erbu is transferred north to the east, and it is temporarily under the control of General Xiahou. ”

This is a written military order, and the content of the military order is to attack the stronghold of the Cao army in Da Shan within three days.

The military order is the same as the life and death situation, gambling not only for one's own life, but also for the life of one's family.

In the past two months, Tian Xin's body has risen to seven feet and two inches, barely reaching the lowest line in the army, and he has some flesh on his face.

Tian Xin looked at the content of the military order, took the pen and signed, puzzled: "The main book, I am a new general, and there is no general in the camp, but the prince asked me to lead my troops to attack Daxian Mountain...... I'm afraid it's a feint, right? ”

General Liao Hua's order was sealed in a wooden box, and his face was expressionless: "This prince ordered, you and I should not guess." ”
