Chapter 118: Exploring the Terrain
"Try not to expose your tracks, if you can find food in the wild, don't loot first, if there is no accident, explore outside for fifteen days, use fifteen days to proofread again, and return here after thirty days to gather."
"If the traces are exposed and the enemy comes to pursue us, there is no need to assemble again, and each of them will lead the team to sneak back to Liaodong, pay attention to safety." Zhang Hao explained little by little, and several generals listened carefully.
After some explanation, they each led a team of soldiers to choose a direction and explore forward, Zhang Hao was due east, and Zhang Jiang, Tai Shici and Tong Fei were on the left.
On the right are Zhang Wen, Zhang Hai, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, forming a fan that diverges outward, because most of the soldiers of Goguryeo are in the west of the boiling water, so the middle position is relatively safe, only the two sides on the very edge are the most dangerous.
Since the soldiers would replenish the food they carried every day during the previous plunder, each soldier now had food to last for more than ten days.
Theoretically speaking, the food in the early stage was enough to eat, but along the way, Zhang Hao still instructed the soldiers to collect all the food that could be eaten, all kinds of wild fruits, and hunt wild beasts when encountered, and never use the food they carried.
"My lord, we have enough food now, why don't we let the soldiers eat." During the break, a soldier beside Zhang Hao asked puzzled.
"The food we bring is only enough for ten days, even if we eat a little less at each meal, at most for fifteen days, and when we run out of food, what will we eat?" Zhang Hao didn't blame, and asked with a smile.
He is still very happy to see that these leaders can use their brains to think, especially when there are hundreds of people in a military commander, and sometimes, it is possible to lead the army alone, which can be regarded as a middle-level backbone.
Especially now that Zhang Hao's army is not yet full according to the establishment, these current military candidates have the opportunity to be promoted to higher official positions, and Zhang Hao does not mind cultivating them.
According to the establishment, there are seven people in one team, one team in three teams and one in the head of the third team is twenty-two, the rate of three tithes and one team is sixty-seven, and the three teams are one and two hundred and two people in the head of the three teams.
Santun and one song plus the military waiting is 607 people, plus the military waiting has a personal guard is 614 people, the third song is a Canadian army Sima is 1,822 people, and the military Sima has a personal guard is 1,842 people.
The third battalion is a battalion commanded by a captain, who can lead a personal guard, and the full battalion is 5,615 men, with a maximum of 5,620 men.
At present, each of these three cavalry battalions has only 3,000 people, and there is no military commander under the captain, and the captain is directly under the command of the commander for the time being, so the current military candidate is likely to become a military commander when the army is expanded in the future.
(This establishment is the establishment of Zhang Hao's forces, and I will not go into detail later without accident, in addition, the establishment of other forces is different from this, and other forces are two-five systems, and we will talk about it when necessary.) )
"Isn't it okay to start eating these wild fruits before the grain runs out? Now I waste a lot of time every day. Jun Hou said very puzzled.
"But we don't know anything about the situation, and if we run out of food, we won't have anything to eat where we go, and we'll starve."
"Moreover, in case our tracks are discovered by the enemy, and then we are surrounded and intercepted by the enemy, how can we have time to collect food, so the food we carry is only used for emergency purposes, and we usually collect food to satisfy our hunger."
"Besides, now we are mainly trying to explore the terrain, which is not a waste of time, and at the same time, we can also find out where and what is edible, and how much there is in reserve."
Zhang Hao smiled and explained slowly, the soldier and several other officers next to him listened carefully, thinking while listening, and nodded from time to time.
"Thank you, sir." After hearing this, several people suddenly realized, and said with fists clenched.
"As a general, it's not just as simple as being able to fight, there are still a lot of things you need to know, and you have time to read more military books when you go back."
"If you don't understand anything, you can ask your lieutenant for advice, or take time to study at the military academy, our army will be expanded in the future, and you all have the opportunity to be promoted, and it is even possible to become a general in the future."
Zhang Hao glanced at the few people around him and threw them a huge temptation, since he has entered the army, who doesn't want to be a majestic general one day, glorifying his ancestors.
When several people heard Zhang Hao's words, their eyes flashed with excitement, and in the subsequent actions, these people all had the dream of becoming a general, and they showed extra seriousness and hard work.
In this way, Zhang Haodu led the team all the way to the east, carefully exploring every corner, crossing a mountain range halfway, and finally reaching the sea, unable to continue to advance.
In fact, after that mountain range, it no longer belongs to the territory of Goguryeo, and it is Dongwofu that lives here, but Dongwofu is attached to Goguryeo.
Goguryeo is not a single nation, but a country composed of many ethnic groups, including the five tribes with the Buyeo people as the main body, as well as the tribesmen of the surrounding ethnic groups such as Goyi, Wofu, Xiaoshui, and Dongzhen.
In addition to the part that was integrated into Goguryeo, some of these ethnic groups did not integrate into Goguryeo, and they were independent but also under Goguryeo rule, and Dongwofu was one of them.
When Zhang Hao arrived at the beach all the way, he didn't use the agreed fifteen days, so he repaired here for two days before going back, although he had already explored once, but in order to avoid recording mistakes, he still took the information and proofread it one by one.
On the way back, no increase in troops was found, and it seems that several other teams did not show any traces, otherwise it would be impossible for the Goguryeo army west of the boiling water not to return to help.
When he returned to the agreed place, Zhang Hao was still the first to arrive, and the other teams had not yet arrived, and after waiting for two days, all the teams rushed back.
Zhang Hao gathered the information found by all the teams and took a rough look at it, this information is from the east to the sea, Buyeo in the north, and Mazishui in the south, and the territory of Goguryeo has been explored, and there is basically nothing missing.
Zhang Hao was satisfied with the information, and prepared to go back to let people sort it out and prepare for the future attack on Goguryeo.
"Lord, what are we going to do next?" Several generals sat around, and Zhang Fei asked.
"What's next......" Zhang Hao pondered for a moment, then raised his head and looked in the direction of the domestic city.
"Could it be ......" Zhang Fei looked at Zhang Hao's gaze with excitement.
"Robbed?" Tai Shici also showed a smile, looked at Zhang Hao and asked.
"No, this inner city is a royal city, although most of the army is in the west of the boiling water, I'm afraid the guards here will not be affected." Zhao Yun shook his head and said.
"To rob is to rob, but we don't rob this city, and we won't rob property this time." Zhang Hao smiled and said.
"So what are we going to rob?" Zhang Fei listened to Zhang Hao's words and asked excitedly.
