Chapter 70: Mobilization
All the actions of the Qianghu people are under the supervision of Wang Shu, and the Qianghu people don't know what intelligence warfare is at all, so Xiang Qing is also well aware of their movements.
As soon as Liu Hu finished speaking, he was slapped by Xiang Qing, Liu Hu looked at Xiang Qing aggrievedly, not knowing why he was beaten.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, what does a big-headed soldier know!" Xiang Qing said with a smile: "General Ma, General Han, I won't go around the bend with you, to tell the truth, our army is already hanging by a thread, and the collapse is imminent!" ”
Ma Teng asked suspiciously, "Why did General Xiang say this?" ”
"yes, I don't think this soldier is telling a lie." Han Sui was also puzzled and asked: "Under General Xiang, there are 5,000 elite tigers from the Luoyang battalion, and countless cavalry, how can their lives hang by a thread?" ”
Xiang Qing sighed deeply and said, "Alas, the two of you really don't know something, and listen to me carefully." ”
"Since I Xiang Qing received the order to go on the expedition, I have been conscientious and have never carried it, and I have relied on the soldiers of the whole army to bravely kill the enemy, so that I have exterminated the kingdom and other rebel parties, but I really can't bear to kill those prisoners, so that our army's food and grass are already stretched, less than five days."
Xiang Qing stretched out his five fingers and dangled in front of Ma and Han, and sighed again and said: "General Ma, General Han, I, Xiang Qing is not important at all, but I feel sorry for those soldiers, they fought bloodily, in order to quell the rebellion, Kuang Fu Han family, pinned their heads to the waistband of their trousers, and even couldn't eat, it's really sad, it's a pity!" ”
Seeing that Ma Teng and Han Sui were not moved at all, Wang Shu also stood up to help and said: "The two generals don't know, my lord received the order to destroy the thieves, and the court promised us food, weapons, and war horses, we have never received them, those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, they really deserve to die!" Even the rations of the soldiers were not distributed, and I, Wang Shu, hated not to eat the flesh of corrupt officials and drink the blood of corrupt officials! ”
Understand, now the two of them understood, and after talking for a long time, Xiang Qing still asked for food, and they also knew that Xiang Qing attacked the rebels all the way, and most of the food he got was distributed to the poor people, and it was normal to lack food.
The two of them patted their chests just now and said that they could go to the soup for General Xiang, but Xiang Qing said that he was short of food, and if the two of them said no, it would definitely not be appropriate.
After a while of inking, Xiang Qing took his own people and got up to say goodbye, and at the same time there were dozens of carriages, which were full of all kinds of grain.
This Ma Teng Han Sui is really rich! Xiang Qing thought to himself, is he going to be less?
When Liu Hu saw so much grain, he couldn't stop smiling, so he sat in the carriage and giggled.
"Hey, I said you're dumbfounded, what are you smiling at?" Wang Shu said speechlessly.
Liu Hu smiled stupidly, and the harazi was about to flow out: "What do you know, so much food, we are not short of food, hahaha, there is no shortage of food!" ”
Xiang Qing also said with a disgusted face: "Look at your appearance that has never seen the world!" I remember when I first met you, you weren't like that, you were like an underworld at that time. ”
Liu Hu asked innocently: "General, what is it, the underworld?" ”
Xiang Qing didn't bother to talk to him, so he chatted side by side with Xiang Xu.
Liu Hu asked Wang Shu again: "Mouse, what is the underworld?" ”
Wang Shu rolled his eyes, pouted and said, "The general scolded you for being a fool, but I still think you are a fool, and a fool is no longer enough to describe you." ”
Everyone disliked Liu Hu all the way and returned to the camp, but they saw that the soldiers' eyes were green, and they were exactly the same as Liu Hu.
Xiang Qing waved his hand and shouted, "Inform the Huotou Army, add dinner tonight!" ”
The soldiers hugged each other, moved to tears, and shouted praises such as the general's might.
Xiang Qing called Shan Fu over and advised: "Go and inform all the generals and colonels above the level of commander to come to my big tent for a meeting!" ”
"No!" Shan Fu took the order and left.
"Wang Shu, sort out the information, and make a simple report later."
"No!" Wang Shu took the order and left.
"Liu Hu! Within ten meters, no one is allowed to approach the Great Tent under any pretext! Otherwise, it will be dealt with in detail! ”
Liu Hu restrained his smile, stood up straight and shouted, "No! Rest assured, general! ”
Words like what kind of meeting, report, etc., as they spend more and more time with Xiang Qing, they have already adapted to it, most of Xiang Qing's speaking words, they are used to it, and the people who stay by Xiang Qing's side are easily influenced by him.
The pro-guard army surrounded the big tent of the Chinese army, and the steel knife was unsheathed, majestic, and the soldiers knew that this was going to be a combat meeting, and they did not dare to approach.
All the generals and colonels had to show their tokens, search their bodies, and Liu Hu personally checked them before they could enter the Chinese army's big tent, which effectively avoided the possibility of eavesdropping on intelligence.
The generals came and sat down one after another, Xiang Qing sat in the first place, and Wang Shu summarized the report on Qianghu in detail and told the generals to know.
After Wang Shu finished speaking, Xiang Qing stood up and said: "Everyone, the rebels in Liangzhou are already struggling to survive, fighting the trapped beasts, it is a matter of time to destroy them, and they can eliminate the large-scale living force of the rebels in just a few months. ”
The first point of the meeting affirmed the merits of the generals, everyone likes to listen to others praise themselves, Xiang Qing's praise is even more rare, and the faces of the generals are filled with happy smiles.
As soon as the words changed, Xiang Qing immediately became serious: "However, our battle is not over yet, everyone has heard it, winter is about to begin, and the people of Liangzhou don't even have warm clothes and sufficient food reserves, this is the fault of the war, and it is also our dereliction of duty!" If you don't make decisions for the people, it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes! ”
Everyone doesn't know what sweet potatoes are, but they must have understood what Xiang Qing meant, and the people of Liangzhou have made their already difficult lives even worse after this war!
"The people of Liangzhou are already so poor, but those Qianghu people! Even to integrate the army and plunder the people! They didn't take our Han Wang Shi seriously at all! It's tolerable, it's unbearable! You say! What are we going to do! ”
Pre-war mobilization is often very simple, just like that, these bold generals and colonels are all excited, full of righteous indignation, and have asked for war.
Xiang Qing raised his hand and pressed it falsely, and said: "Since everyone is a hot-blooded man, I can rest assured, this battle must be fought!" Not only for the poor people, but also for the honor of our Han army! However, I still have a question, how to fight? ”
Dong Zhuo stood up and said angrily: "General! Just Qianghu, what a lot of teeth! The general gave our family 5,000 cavalry, and our family will definitely annihilate them all and deter Qianghu! ”
"That's right! General, we must destroy them all! ”
"Use their heads to build a view of Beijing! Let them live forever and eternally, and they will not dare to be enemies of my Han! ”
……
Looking at the appearance of the generals asking for help, Xiang Qing secretly said in his heart, the military heart is available! Only if the leaders of these armies are determined, they will affect the soldiers below, and the morale of the entire Han army will reach its peak!
"This battle is not only about annihilating the invading enemy! It is also necessary to let Qianghu remember it forever! But anyone who commits a strong man, although far away, will be punished! ”
Xiang Qing's finger pointed to the map, and all the generals looked at it together, and the place where Xiang Qing pointed was the king's tent of the Qianghu people, Yinchuan!
"I will! Our army mobilized all the horses and horses, and after annihilating Qianghu, we took Yinchuan directly! Take the Qianghu King's Tent! Where is the single blessing! ”
Shan Fu came out of the ranks, clenched his fists and said: "The end will be!" ”
"What is the total number of soldiers and horses in our army now?"
"General! The total strength of our army is 22,000 people, including 4,500 people from the Luoyang Han Army, 6,000 soldiers from Yongliang County, a total of 5,500 people from Xiangyong were recruited, and 6,000 people were reorganized. ”
"How's the troop allocation?"
"There are 8,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, 500 Luoyang elite cavalry, 2,000 sword and shield soldiers in the Wuwei battalion, 5,000 spearmen and spearmen in the middle base battalion, 3,000 archers in the guerrilla battalion, and 2,050 baggage soldiers."
Xiang Qing said: "The grain and grass are heavy, I have brought them back, weapons and horses, we are not short of weapons, warhorses, this battle, only victory is not allowed to lose!" Do you understand! ”
"No!"
The military meeting was held until late at night, and all the details needed to be discussed repeatedly, a war was definitely not an order from the commander-in-chief, and it required a lot of preparation, and Xiang Qing's military decision-making system and action were already very fast.
After the generals returned to their respective camps, they immediately ordered their subordinates to pack up and set out immediately, all the camps were dismantled, all weapons and food were loaded, every soldier was not allowed to leave the ranks, the people around them supervised each other, and those who stole away were dealt with in detail.
When a recruit saw his own length, he used two long ropes to pack his futon into a boxy square and carry it behind his back, which was very convenient.
He asked curiously, "Boss, how did you get this, can you teach me?" ”
Shi Chang said mysteriously: "I also learned it from the centurion, I heard them say, this method was taught to them by General Xiang, how convenient it is." ”
One tithe is ten people, if there is a tithe, the centurion will have ten tithe, and below the thousand-sized commander will be ten centurions, and as for the Duhou lieutenant and the like, I am not sure how many people there are below.
The nine recruits in the camp tent all came around, looking at the long binding quilt, everyone was very hands-on, and after a while, the quilt was tied, everyone carried it on their backs, and felt this unprecedented feeling in a novelty, after all, in this era, there is no backpack.
Under the influence of Xiang Qing's subtle influence, the army has undergone some changes, the improvement of action and team cohesion, more advanced management methods and more scientific training methods, little by little to change this army, it is not obvious now, but when the name of Xiang Jiajun resounded all over the world, everyone noticed that this is an unprecedented, different army.
And in Ma Teng's military camp, a handsome young man stood in front of Ma Teng.
