Chapter Ninety-Five: A Sentence Goes to the World
When Zhang Yuan rushed back to the barracks, everything was still running according to the original plan.
The difference was the addition of a group of cavalry trained outside the barracks.
Wei Qing and Gongsun Ao also happened to be outside, and when they saw Zhang Yuan riding a horse, they hurriedly greeted him.
"Did something happen to Daxing looking for you to go to Chang'an?"
Zhang Yuan nodded solemnly.
"Let's go to your military tent and talk about this matter in detail."
"Okay."
Each of the three led a horse and galloped back to the barracks.
As soon as he entered the military tent, Gongsun Ao asked hurriedly.
"Changshi, tell me what happened?"
Wei Qing glanced at Gongsun Ao.
"Brother Yuan rushed all the way back from Chang'an, I'm afraid I didn't even bother to drink saliva.
Let's let him slow down first. ”
Zhang Yuan smiled, it is true that he has not bothered to drink saliva until now, the water outside is all raw water, he only drinks boiled water.
The Qimen army was also drinking boiling water in front of them, so Zhang Yuan didn't mind, and filled the kettle in front of Wei Qing's desk.
After taking a few deep breaths, Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, you two need to listen carefully.
We're about to start the gate army. ”
Next, Zhang Yuan told in detail what happened to Wang Hui yesterday and what happened at the court meeting today.
However, the part that includes the blessing of nationality is not explained to Wei Qing and Gongsun Ao.
"That's it, I'm going to change my training plan for the next month."
Wei Qing and Gongsun Ao both had unacceptable expressions, as if the pot of the Qimen Army must be carried on their backs.
"Brother Yuan, if this plan fails, Wang Hui will probably directly say that our Futures Army has missed something.
If it succeeds, the Huns will go crazy, and we will be in the first place. ”
Zhang Yuan nodded and said.
"Yes, but I have a way to make this plan, whether it fails or succeeds, it doesn't hurt our Prospective Army.
Your order to kill 3,000 thieves can be accomplished. ”
Wei Qing's face showed a happy color, he was not interested in the others, he was most interested in this.
"Brother Yuan, you come and hear it."
Zhang Yuan pretended to be loud and shook his head.
"It's not time yet, wait for the grassland.
When the sky is high and the birds are flying and the sea is wide and the fish is leaping, I will tell you the whole plan.
Now it's better to let the soldiers change their training plan slightly.
From tomorrow onwards, the soldiers of the two songs will go hunting, and let the people outside the barracks make clothes from the fur of wild beasts.
We're going to have to survive a long winter outside the gates, and it's much colder there than here.
Some of the extra meat was transported to Zhang's mansion and some was outside the camp, and the women were dried and then salted into dried meat, which had to be taken to the north when the time came.
The cattle and sheep given to us by His Majesty are for the Huns to see, not for us to eat. ”
"What Brother Yuan said is that if we can do these things by ourselves, we don't need to ask the Central Military Government.
It's just that this time we really want to bring thousands of people outside the camp to the grassland? ”
Wei Qing was extremely reluctant to bring these people, although part of the reason was because he felt that these people would be a drag, but more importantly, once the war broke out, there would be no one to protect them at that time.
"We must take them, if we don't take them this time, they will also be executed by strict laws as soon as we leave.
And our prospective army will also be caught by others. ”
How could Zhang Yuan be willing to bring these ordinary people, if he wanted to blame, he could only blame Liu Che, Wang Hui and others for being cold-faced and ruthless, and not treating people as human beings.
"Well, so be it, I'll go down and supervise the training first.
Regarding the change of the training plan, Brother Gongsun, you should go and inform those soldiers. ”
Gongsun Ao bowed his head and promised, and then withdrew from the military tent, and Zhang Yuan also left and returned to his military tent to rest.
A month passed very quickly, and it was slowly time for Zhang Yuan and Liu Che to agree.
There was no one to send them off, only a thousand cattle and potatoes sent from all directions, and the five thousand sheep were not given to the Jimen army until they arrived in Mayi.
The cattle were brought in first because they had to carry the supplies to the north.
Two days ago, the horseshoe made of stainless steel had been replaced with 3,000 war horses of the Qimen Army.
Weapons such as crossbow arrows are not delivered until before the beginning of spring.
Zhang Yuan couldn't help but sigh a little when he looked at the long line behind him, he didn't know how many people would come back after going to the grassland, including himself.
"It's not too early, it's time to go, pull out."
Wei Qing waved his horsewhip and pulled out the fate of these more than 4,000 people to the north.
The army had to go directly to the east, along Weishui all the way to Chuansikong County, and then along Fenshui all the way north to reach Yanmen County.
Therefore, Wei Qing deliberately bypassed the route of the army and bypassed Zhang's Mansion directly, directly from the south of Lantian Mountain, which was also to prevent Zhang Yuan from being too sad.
From Lantian to Yanmen County, it took nearly half a month to stop and stop along the way.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and in the process, the soldiers took off their military uniforms early and replaced them with warm and comfortable leather clothes.
At present, outsiders can only rely on the uniform movements of the Qimen army to distinguish that this team is an army.
From Taiyuan County to Yanmen County, it was necessary to cross a section of the Great Wall, which was the last line of defense of the Han army against the Xiongnu.
Zhang Yuan saw from the map that continuing to the north, there was another Great Wall in Yanmen County.
may have been shocked by the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty seen by later generations, but when he suddenly saw the Great Wall of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Yuan didn't have the mood of amazement.
"This section of the Great Wall began to be built in the time of Empress Lu, and now it has some scale, from the north to Beidi County, and to the south all the way to the sea.
It's just a shame that we should have built the Great Wall into the hinterland of the enemy, but now in order to protect the people of the Han Dynasty, we have built the Great Wall on our own territory.
It is a shame that it is 300 miles away from the Great Wall repaired by the previous dynasty. ”
Wei Qing was very indignant when he talked about the situation of the Great Wall, and Zhang Yuan was the same, but sooner or later this situation would be completely changed.
"The general does not have to be indignant, wash away the shame, it will start from now on.
With the presence of the general, in less than ten years, there will be no more Hun footprints within a thousand miles north of Yanmen. ”
Zhang Yuan said very sure that with him, he will definitely be able to greatly accelerate the process of the Han attack on the Xiongnu.
"Okay, you and my brothers will definitely gallop on the grassland in this life, and there will be no trace of a Hun in sight."
Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan each slapped their palms on their horses, but Gongsun Ao on the side was faintly disappointed in his eyes.
